She leads the team and plays her best, To get by her is sure a test. Look! A girl shoots for the basket A burning question: Who will ask it? Why has H. Reese, Jack Price's number? How did she get it? We all wonder. Center Nicholson jumps, high, Watching with an eagle eyeg Side center gets it when it shoots, No grass grows under Ma1'tha lVlyton's boots. A starting push our guards don't need.

Through the able coaching and perseverance of Mr. Felton and Mr. Hatch, Cochran was well represented in the cage. The Cochran lads were forced to bow to five defeats, while they snowed under fourteen of the opposing teams. The total points scored by Cochran's baslceteers was 527 while their oppo- nents scored 416 points. The following players were with the team during the entire season: Jack Price, Charles Leffler, Hamer Wagi1e1', Richard Thomas, Joseph Warreii, John Oleynick, Fred Abdalla, Ephraim Glosser, Harold Jacques, Edward Varner.

The Senior tournament was hard fought with the 107 Brownies under the leadership of Captain VValker, beating 300 in the final contest. The 107 team was made up of Walker, Price, Miller, Schmerin, Don and Robert lVIeyers, Kline, Nycum, and Salinger. The Junior tournament was not as closely contested as the Senior, but it also had its thrilling games. It was not,until the very last game that 202 was defeated by 203, by the close score of 11-10. And as the result, 203 became holder of the Junior champ- ionship. Captain Campbell, Blough, Cenc, Armstrong, Basserman, and Bettle composed the 203 team. In the Senior contest jack Price of the 107 team made the highest number of points of any other player in the building with 33 points to his credit. He also made more field goals and fouls than anyone in the tournament, having 13 of the former and 7 of the latter. Room 107 also had the distinction of putting in more than any other room, having scored 48 points against their opponentsg but 300 was right on their heels with 46 points to their credit. In the Junior league, Campbell of the 203 aggregation made the most points, having 12 field goals and 2 fouls, making a total of 26 points. Room 203 also had the honor of having scored more points against their opponents than any team in either Junior or Senior tournament making in all 61 points, the majority being field goals. This tournament aroused friendly rivalry between the home roomsg as a result, the boys showed their true spirit by being real sportsmanlike throughout the contest. -Sydney Soule, Term VIII COCHRAN COMPLETES SUCCESSFUL FOOTBALL SEASON On November 23, Cochran's football team completed its season. During this season Cochran won four games, lost four and tied three. BASKETBALL SQUAD 1926-1927 .COCHRAN AERIAL 19 Members of the squad desire to take this opportunity to thank our coaches, lldr. Felton and Mr. Hatch, for the extensive training they put the boys through. This is the first year that Cochran has been so fortunate as to have two coaches, both who are 'among the best in the state. In addition, thanks are due to the student body and faculty for their splendid financial support. Considering the lightness of the team and the fact that most of the teams played were out of our class, our boys can be proud of their record. Jack Price, our able captain, deserves much credit for his ability to keep the team together. A , At the yearly football banquet the boys who were loyal to Cochran throughout the season and who played in the majority of the games were awarded silver football Watch charms. The boys Were: Captain Jack Price, left half backg Joseph Warreil, quarter-back, Fred Abdalla, full-back, Walter Brubaker, right half-backg David Jones, end, James Griffith, tackle, Philip Geer, endg Hamer Wag- ner, centerg Dean Bittner, full-backg Sam Sigg, endg Theodore Weidiler, guardg Ephraim Glosscr, tackleg Lloyd Rager, guardg Sam Schmerin, guard, and our next yearls captain, Richard'Thomas, tackle.

LATIN WORRIES We have a language in our land It came from far away, , .And now our pupils study it And use it everyday. This language contains many things No matter what We study, We wonder how they could expect Q That it be used by everybody. There are some Words to conjugate And many to decline, You get the tenses all mixed up, But learn the cases fine. And then there are vocabularies Which contain most verbs and nouns, In verbs we learn principal parts And in nouns the cases sound. But if this language had not been, No English would be heard, Because it was from Latin We got almost every word.

TI - EDITCEBIALS ll THE ADVERTISING STAFF The Advertising Staff of the Cochran Aerial Year Book for 1927, was composed of the following students: Mary Ellen Cooper, Sara Lininger, Edward Golab, Robert VValker, Orrie Miller, Don- ald Meyers, Williani Krieger. Robert Klingelhafer, James Kennedy, Jack lwoberly, and Francis Stearn. This committee held its first meeting during the Newspaper Club session on March ll. The second meeting was held' in the men teacher's room on Friday, March l2. Each member was given a list of merchants to inter- view for ads. Everywhere they went, the pupils collecting ads were received with courtesy, and in most places, with Hcash assist- ance. This shows that a spirit of boosting is very evident among the merchants of our city. A prize will be awarded to the couple which brings in the most ads and money. The members of the staff are working extremely hard for the prize as it is a free ticket to the movies. When the Year Book went to press the winners were not yet known, but they will be announced in the next issue of the Aerial. In behalf of the Cochran Aerial Staff we Wish to thank this com- mittee for its splendid work in obtaining ads with which to finance our Annual and to assure them that We appreciate their co-operation. Now, students of Cochran, do your share by patronizing and ask- ing your parents to patronize our advertisers. Illartha .M'yfon, Term VII KIWANIS AND A B C CLUBS HOLD BANQUET IN COCHRAN Since we cannot take our school to the public, the public comes here. On Thursday, Nlarch 24, the Kiwanis and American Busi- ness Clubs were entertained at Cochran.

We hope that these clubs so enjoyed com- ing to Cochran that they will want to come back again. -Jllary Ellen Cooper COCHRAN ARTlST'S SERIES OF l9261f2 and 1927 The third Cochran Artists series was a big success as farias the musical programs were concerned. The artists of the third group made a big hit with their audiences. Cochran is the only insti- tution in this city that sponsors such a fine program, yet it is not meeting with financial success. Some of our patrons are disap- pointed in that the Johnstowners are not taking, active interest in this enterprise. The Cochran auditorium was intended for ex- tending the education of the Johnstown people. It is here that the real musical education is sponsored. It was thought to make Johnstowners appreciate rm! music, played by world famous artists, and yet the results have been disappointing. With the growing interest on the part of the High School students, in musical lines, perhaps in a few years these courses will have the success so richly deserved. Program for the third series: October-Russian Symphonic Choir. November-Guy lllaier and Lee Pattison, Pianists. December-The Cleveland Symphony Orchestra, Nikolai So- koloss, Conductor. .

In the morning she is always the first one up, and I know she is often more tired than any of us. She first sees that everything is right before calling us from bed. We always come down stairs to a hot breakfast and then start off to school. She always sees that we have everything for our school work, and sometimes when we are half Way out the door, she calls us back to get a handkerchief or something else we may have forgotten. After everybody is gone she starts with the cleaning. ln the hottest days of the year every- thing must be cleaned, and thoroughly. She Works the whole day long, running from the room she is cleaning to the kitchen to see how the dinner is cooking, and then back again. At noon she al- ways listens to our troubles and good news as we call it. She always has some consoling answer that somehow makes us feel good. At noon there is a steaming hot dinner waiting for us. Then we must have something Warm to drink before going back to school. We never wash any breakfast or dinner dishes but sometimes help with the supper ones. No wonder her hands are not as beautiful as they would otherwise be. After we go she does perhaps the ironing or darning and sometimes sewing. When someone comes to tell her his troubles she is always a sympathetic listener. She works hard, I know, but she always greets us with a smile, when we re- turn from school. I hardly remember the day that We came home and didn't find her waiting for us. Supper was overseen just like dinner and after everything is cleaned up again she would help us with our nightwork, first giving Amy spelling words for her test the next day, then hearing Carolyn recite her eight-time tables, and listening to a poem I have to learn for the next day. At-nine o'clock Amy and Carolyn must go to bed, and she al- ways sees to it that they are tucked in properly. After that she comes down to darn some stockings, sew a few buttons on or do some other task that could not be done during the day. After everyone is asleep she is often awake, trying, trying to make things better for us. This is my mother. THE RUNAWAYS I As he walked out of the house, Jim wiped his tear-stained face and mumbled, I don't careg they don't treat me fair. I won't HARMONICA BAND JUNE 1927 COCHRAN AERIAL 63 stand for it. There was Jack just coming from the sand lot with his bat. Well, what's eatin' you? he asked. ' ' Ah, just because I left the baby and went out to play ball, I had to get licked. I know what Iyll do, I'1l run awayf, Where'll you go P I'll join the circus, or the movies-or-or, I know. Lets you and me run away together. You're not treated right either. Don't you remember the time you got it for playing on the roof of the old barn? Letls run away to my grandma's farm. - Gee, I'm afraid. Jack slid his hand along the bat, and looked doubtful. My grandma won't care. We can work on the farm. Will you? Ah,,come on!', Jack promised at last to meet him next evening at the corner of Main and Market. Jack was to tell his mother that he was sleeping at Jimls. At eight-thirty the next evening they met. HWhich Way do we go ? asked Jack. I don't know. Let's just keep on walking and when We get to Exville, I know the way from theref, With this view in mind the boys bravely trudged on. Their strong twelve-year-old legs did not give out easily. They had been walking along slowly, chat- ting of the good times they would have on the farm when Jim's voice quivered, Do you think there are any bears in these woods, Jack? It's gettin' dark. I don't knowf' was the shaky answer. Don't you think we had better go ba-. Oh, look, Jim, there's a cottage. Maybe we can spend the night there. Finding that no one answered to their knocking, the boys walked in. They looked around and finding a candle, they lighted it. There were a table, two chairs, and two badly Worn hunks. In no time the boys were fast asleep. With the rising of the sun, ,Tack was up and had examined the surroundings. He found, not far away, a wild crab apple tree and a few wild berries. Stuffing their pockets until they bulged, the boys tramped on. At last they came upon the highway. During the remainder of the day they got lifts. Sometimes the occupants of the cars shared their lunches with them. Finally they reached Exville and from there they easily found the farm. jim's grandmother was surprised, but she said nothing until they had their fill of warm milk with bread and jam. 'fVVhy didn't you let me know that you were coming? she asked GIRLS' GLEE CLUB JUNE 1927 COCHRAN AERIAL 65 as soon as they were finished. Well, Grandma, said Jim, we didn't decide to come till yesterday, and then we wanted to walk. Of course Ma didn't like that. You shouldn't have gone against you mother's wishes, Jimg but since you're here you may show Jack the farmf' Jim explain-ed to Jack all about the farm as he knew it. His grandfather was dead and his grandma lived there with only a girl and as many hired men as she could afford. They kept pigs, cows, and chickensg they had wheat fields and an apple and peach orchard. The next day Jim and Jack were set to work. They helped milk the cows, gather in the eggs, and load wheat. By the end of the first day they had large blisters on their backs and shoulders. Run down, Grandmother said to them before supper that day, and get me the mail . It was two weary boys who trudged down the lane after the mail, but they wouldn't give up. Beside the paper there was a letter. Oh, look, cried Jim, staring at the paper. Jack grabbed it. Gee, What'll we do? We can't give this to your grandma. On the front page appeared the notice of the disappearance of the two boys and also their pictures. Tearing the paper into small shreads, Jim and Jack delivered the letter saying that there was no paper. Each day for a week the paper met the same fate. The rest of the week was spent in hard labor. When they came from church that Sunday, the boys saw a car in front of the house. Jim started to run when he was called back. It was his father. Come back here, young man, he said in a gruff voice. They were told to sit in the car while their fathers were busy talking to Grandmother. Jim overheard her say, I knew that their mothers would be worried, so I Sent the letters right a way. Boys are liable to do anything. I can assure you they won't want any more farm work for a while at least. Tell Mary fresh milk is good for sun-burn and blisters. Think of a grandmother double- crossing a fellow like that! -Helen Kline . HOW STONY CREEK WILL BE IMPROVED Several years ago the Lorain Steel Company took a step in improving the banks of the Stony Creek. They planted trees all 66 COCHRAN AERIAL around their grounds. In the summer when the foliage is thick they partially hide the eyesore of the mill yards from the public view. When the sanitary sewer system is completed, Johnstown plans to make something worth while out of the Stony Creek. About fifteen years hence, instead of being an eyesore, germ-breeding, worthless creek, it will be a clear, sparkling, smooth running river between green banks lined with trees, boat houses, and docks. On this new Stony Creek, canoes, motorboats, rowboats, etc. will be gliding past. Cochran will be benefited by the improvement because it will have a swimming pool at its back door. When the old, dirty, polluted garbage dump called the Stony Creek has been transformed into a clear, smooth-flowing stream, properties along the banks will increase in value and Johnstown will become known as a healthful city. George Gasser, Term VII THE BROKEN WINDOW Oh, Mom, may I go down on Ohio Street to play ball for a while?,' Tom yelled in through the screen door. 'Tm going with Dick. His mother must have said that he might go, for he rushed to Dick's home in leaps and bounds. Dick lived in the Otto Apart- ments above Altmeyer's drug store. He fell down the steps with a baseball, a bat, and a glove. You take these and let me bat firstf' Dick handed him the ball and glove. Ten strikes out, no matter how many you make or miss. Tom had successfully caught the ball in Dick's glove seven times but the next time instead of landing in the glove, it crashed through the big plate glass window in the drug store. Both boys made for a clump of bushes in the field across the alley from the drug store. They crouched under the bushes in silence, except for the pounding of their hearts. The sweat trickled down their faces, for it was a hot day in June. A slight, cool breeze brought Tom enough composure to allow him to speak. W-why didn't you bat the ball toward me instead o' through that window? Well, why didnlt you catch it ? Then everything was quiet until Dick said, what will we do ? 'Tm going to go home. Well, oh, I guess I had better go and see Mr. Altmeyerf' COCI-IRAN AERIAL 67 Hope you have good luck, Dick , and Tom started home feel- ing lucky. By this time quite a crowd had gathered in front of the store to see what had happened. Dick shoved through the crowd until he reached the top step where Mr. Altmeyer was standing. Joe Alt- meyer's crisp white coat made his face show up redder than it could have been, and eyes glared and snapped fiercely as he talked. Dick had never seen him so angry before. He had always been a good friend of the boys until then. How he wished he had stayed behind the bush! At first he stuttered and grew almost as red as lNIr. Altmeyer, although not from the same cause. Before he could finish a sentence, Mr. Altmeyer jumped at him: Did you break this window? A plate glass window this size isn't a cheap target for a baseball. What do you mean by playing ball here, anyhow? 'fWell, I couldn't help it. The ball just went the Wrong direction and Tom didn't catch it. Mr. Altmeyer's rage was cooling down. He is really very sweet tempered. The crowd had started to move away. You're the boy that lives upstairs, arenit you ? 'fYes, came Dick's feeble answer. Is there anything I can do to make up for the damage ? Pay for it, I guess. Couldn't I work in the store to pay for it? That's a good idea. You may as well start right now. Dick could hardly believe it was true 'that anyone who had been so angry just a little while before could be so kind. He was happy again. After he had been fitted with one of Joe Altmeyerys white coats and was standing behind the counter waiting for some customers, his heart sank when he thought how Tom and the gang would razz him. Oh, I don't care. It's the only way I can pay for it, he thought as he watched the men putting the new window in. Soon his first customer came and Dick waited on him to his satisfaction. In the next few weeks he had many customers. He learned to like his work very much. One day when he came down to work, Mr. Altmeyer said, The window is paid for now, Dick, but I don't see how I could get along without your help. How would you like to work for pay now P I like the job, sir, and want to keep it. Thank you very much. 68 COCHRAN AERIAL Tom happened in that afternoon to tease Dick, but the joke was on him when Dick told him he was getting paid for his work now. -Mardell Gundaker A GOOD SPORT I think Mr. Hill is a good sport. One time I was out in the hall and I dropped an agate. He picked it up and I thought he would keep it. He asked me if I had any more. I said yes, and he said he would play with me. He played a couple of games and I was scrapped. Then he gave me them back. Another time I went for a hike when he was along. VVe played baseball and he was the umpire. One time he called a strike for our side and knew it was a ball. When their side came up he called a strike to even it up. When we came home he told us about tin and trees all along the way. He's just as good company and just as square as any boy I know. -Curtis Horner, IV MY GRANDMOTI-IER'S SALE Last Saturday, my mother and I went to my grandmother's sale. The auctioneer was a rather large glib tongued man, who has been auctioneering sales in that community for many years. My grandmother's home and personal property were sold. There were some very old pieces offurniture and dishes put up for sale. Two antique hunters were there, who make it a point to go far and near to buy antiques. My grandmother had two small, blue glass dessert dishes. The antique hunters both wanted these dishes and they quickly ran them up to four dollars apiece. There was an old zinc table, and we thought it would bring a very small price, but one of the antique hunters bid until the price reached nine dollars. After he had bought it he took off two little handles that were used to pull the drawers open, put them into his pocket, and said to my aunt who lives in that neighborhood, Now, you may have the table. I do not want it. If I ever have a sale and have any antiques to sell, I hope these people will be on hand. I -Illary Elizabeth Wertz A VISIT TO THE RANGER What a savory smell of bacon! My dog was sniffing the air for he had noticed it too. I walked on a little way and saw a camp with a fire burning brightly. Sitting with a skillet in his COCHRAN AERIAL 69 hand holding over the fire was a forrest ranger. He looked up and said, Hello and asked if I would eat with him. He said, My name is Angus McDougal of the forest rangers. He asked what I was doing away up in the mountains. I told him I liked the woods and was taking a walk with my dog. He told me I had a fine dog and a smart one too. I saw two horses, a gray and a black, eating grass. He told me they were furnished by the government. In his pup tent was a bed on the ground and on the pole of the tent was a large ham. By the tent was a large saddle. On the ground a few feet above me were two feed bags for the horses, and a shovel. Spread on the ground by the fire was his table and on it was a can of baked beans and a couple of tin plates. I asked, Have you fought any fires latelyn, and he said he had fought a big one. About one o'clock M1'. McDougal began to pack. I helped him and he let me ride the gray horse until I was nearly home. I thanked him, and watched until he was hidden from view by the trees. Often afterward I visited his camp and we became good friends. -Frank Campbell WHAT THE SEA GULL SAW A sea gull was still following a ship the second day of the voyage. After what seemed like ages to him the usual garbage was thrown out. Breakfast was over on the ship. As he neared the ship after his feast, he heard a bell. Immediately the crowds on the decks disappeared except the crew who were lowering life boats. The bird was puzzled, he stayed near. Maybe the ship was going down. He did not have long to wait, for soon another bell rang, the people came out on the deck again with life belts around their waists. Everyone seemed to be looking for something or following something. What was the matter with the ship? Why were the people looking on the lower decks? In a few seconds the people had reached the upper deck and had assembled about the life boats. Why don't they get in? Poor sea gull, he doesn't understand all this. Every one is ready to sinkg why don't they? Oh! he sees,-a life boat drill. -Polly Barnhart, Term VII AN AIRPLANE WRECK After the inspector had looked at my plane, I climbed in and signaled to him. He jumped up and pulled the blade of the pro- peller to the ground. As soon as he swung it, two men released the blocks. They then fell flat so that the wings would not touch them. 70 COCHRAN AERIAL When I reached the speed of sixty miles an hour, I turned up the elevators and left the ground. I was now off for a two weeks vacation, which I had planned to spend at Philadelphia. Nothing seemed to be wrong with the plane, so I did not think of using or trying out the elevators or rudders. When I got up to five thousand feet, I tried to turn the eleva- tors back to a normal position so that I would not go up any higher, but they refused to move. I could not go down or fly level at full speed on account of this, my only chance was to fly on. At last I decided to fly as slowly as I could. If I flew slowly, I knew I would not go any higher. I tried my plan immediately and found it worked. All of a sudden the air became bumpy and I had some hard work keeping the plane level with the aerolooms. After a little while I noticed that it was necessary to make a landing because a storm was coming up, but there was no place to land. Then I learned that the plane must be flown more swiftly or it would stall in the air. That would have been worse than ever because the plane could not be voloplaned to the earth without the use of the elevators. These thoughts were suddenly interrupted when the plane stalled and ran into an air pocket. It fell toward the earth like a rocket so that a wreck could not be prevented. My only chance was to use my parachute. I jumped out of the cockpit and pulled the ring which opened the parachute. Slowly I came down moving with the wind all the time, till the parachute caught in a tree, suspending me in mid air with the nearest limb fifteen feet up. Climbing up the rope I cut the many tangled ropes that held me a prisoner. The rest of the way to the ground was very easy to cover for it was only a job of swing- ing down from one limb to another to the ground. After reaching the ground a report to the commandant, under whom I was flying, was a duty I must perform. Then all of a sudden a man came out of the woods and said, I saw the wreck of your plane from the fire tower and reported it to your commander by radio and he said that a plane was being sent. You must make a report to him if able. I followed him to his station at the fire tower and made my report. -Ialarry I-Iavnilton MARY'S MISTAKE Say Jim, you shoulda been here this morning. A farmer girl came into our room yesterday. Gee! she looked funny, but she was COCHRAN AERIAL 71 sorta pretty and she looked bright. She had on awful funny clothes, high top shoes and woolen stockings an' a funny old long gingham dress, an' her hair was in two long plaits down her back. All the other kids laughed, but I didnlt 'cause she seemed to be such a nice girl. I heard the other girls talking about her hair but I thought it was awful pretty. Talk about crowning glory! Gosh! Heris sure is. It was real curly and long and all fluffy around her face an'- Well say, Bill, give another fellow a chance to get in a word. I don't blame Miss Burton for giving you a C in conduct. What did you say her name is? Mary-Mary-something. I forget the last name but wait 'till you hear the rest of it. Poor Mary! Today she came to school again, an' the teacher sent her to the principal to take her card to him an' you know the cupboard where the teacher keeps the drawing things ? Yeh, right beside the hall door, isn't it? Uh-huh. Well Mary was talkin' to the teacher an' she thought she had hold of the hall door, but she opened the cupboard door an' turned around an' walked right into it an' closed the door after her. All the kids roared, but I went over and opened the door and showed her the way to Mr. Smith's office. Poor kid, she looked so scared. It was mean of those kids to laugh at her like that. It's nothin, to go in the Wrong door. Well, so long Bill. So long Jim, see you tomorrow. The next day after school they met again. Gee, Jim, you remember that Mary Blake I was tellin' you about? You shoulda seen her today. She beats every girl in the whole school building. Yeh, love is blind. Go aheadg rave on, brave knightf' No, but really! Gosh, you haven't seen her yet. Boy! She sure looks spiffy. She's dressed just as nice as the other girls an' she wears her hair in curls now 3 an' say, she lives in that swell house We were looking at the other day. I-Iuh? Gosh, Bill. Yep, an' boy, she's bright! She spelled every one in the class down an' she can do problems that I never saw. An' she said that I was the nicest boy that she ever knew. So she's goin' to be my girl an' I'm going to start saving my money so I can buy her the prettiest valentine I can find. Gee, I'll bet those other boys are sorry they laughed at her. I know the girls are 'cause they're all 72 COCHRAN AERIAL i goin' where she does an' wantin' to sit beside her. Well, all I can say is that I hope you can get me a couple. You sure are lucky, Bill. So long. So long. See you tomorrowf' Bernice Bantly, VII NINE INCHES I celebrated my first night in camp by getting up at day break. I dressed hurriedly, ran out of my tent, grabbed a shovel and an old tin can. I dug a few worms and raced down to the stream. There was a ripple on the water. I picked out a fat juicy worm and put it on the hook. I threw out the line and sat down. When break- fast time came I had not felt the slightest jerk on the line. When breakfast was over, I made a bee line for the bank. The line was out. I gave a jerk but to my disappointment the Whale, that I ex- pected to be on, was not ong no, there was nothing on, for when I reeled in the line, the worm had disappeared. The only thing to do was to put another one on. About two hours later I heard my brother calling. He wanted me to go in swimming with him. We had a great timesplashing and ducking each other but we soon were played out so I went down to where I had left my rod. The line was out again. A lNIy what greedy creatures these fish are, thought I, they only eat when their company has gone. I picked up the rod and gave a jerk. This time however there was something on for I saw it leap out of the water. I began reel- ing in the lineg at times I thought he had got off the hook but just as I thought that he would give a jerk. When I landed him I thought he was too small to keep 3 but when I measured him he was just nine inches. -Lincoln Jenkins When Wayne wore white waists, why couldn't Wayne walk with women who want Wayne. fMr.j Holton Has Happy Hours Heading His Harmonious Harkers.
