The TAT ER Nineteen Thirty One V' 2 Published by THE SENICJR CLASS PdT1lLlS.VUS High School PARNASSUS, PENNSYLVANIA T'Ii E T'2K'T L E R 49 If F OREWORD Qgg In each of the past seven years, the senior class has edited a. publication in order to record the pleasures and achievements of the year. The book has always been called The Tatler, a name derived from the eighteenth century periodical published by Joseph Addison and Richard Steele. We, the class of 1931, have the privilege of publishing the last year book of Parnassus High School. We hope that the 1931 Tatler, like previous annuals, will endear itself to the hearts of everyone who has ever attended Par' nassus High School.

With appreciation for the experiences and pleasures it has given us in our high school life, with gratitude for its inspirations toward truth, loyalty and high ideals,' with pride in the noble traditions which it has always held, and with the hope that it will always be a source of pleasant memories to those who have known and loved it, we, the cla-ss of 1951, sincerely dedicate this seventh and last volume of The Tatler to our ALMAIJATER Page 4 9 THE TATLER 4. 4 - - uw Page 5 THE TATLER 40 Qo- HISTORT OF PARNASSUS HIGH SCHOOL KVJOSVI The town of Parnassus was named for Mt. Parnassus in Greece. It was incorporated as a borough in 1872 and was consolidated with New Kensington in january, 1931. Parnassus High School was organized according to the state program during the school term of 1897'98 in the Fifth Avenue School Building. Previous to this time some work of high school character was done so that in September 1897 five pupils qualiied for graduation from a twofyear course, two of whom are still residents of Parna-ssus. The following year a class of six members was graduated, consisting of five girls and one boy. The next class con- sisted of eleven members, six girls and five boys. During this time' most of the high schools in the state had only a two year course and Parnassus remained in this class for about iten years. Mr. Wilmer G. Dugan, who recently retired from the office of Superintendent of Westmoreland County Schools, was the first prin- cipal of the high school. He is credited with starting the high school? and served in the ca' pacity of principal until 1909. Mr. Dugan was succeeded in 1909 by 'Mr. Fred L. Bach. In the fall of 1909 Parnassus had its first football team. During that same year an athletic association was organized and the next spring the first class play was presented in the town hall by the junior class. The prof ceeds derived from the play -were used for the first juniorrsenior prom in the spring of 1910. Mr. Bach served as principal and supervising principal until 1912 when he was succeeded by Mr. B. Foster Ashe. It was at this time that ithe present high school building was built. Mr. Ashe was supervising principal for two years and during this time the first high school principal, Mr. Walter Gensbigler, was elected. The high school since its beginning had grad' ually increased its scope of work untilj it was a four-year high school in 1913. Mr. V. Blain Lefler followed' Mr. Ashe as supervising principal and held this position for three years, from 1914 till 1917. The high school principals who succeeded Mr. Gensbigler were Mr. G. W. Metger and Mr. Howard Vought. Tfhe high school continued to grow both in curricula and student activities. Ilt had by this time,a basketball team and a baseball team. It still had only an academic course, however. During the war, there was a let-down in school activities all over the country. Consequent' ly little is known about the high school during this period. From 1917 to 1924 Mr. W. Ray Smith was supervising principal with the exception of a year or so during the war when Mr. Penfield took his place. At this time the high school principals were Miss Margaret McCracken. Mr. Lewis R. Potts and Mr. john A. Lantz. In 1923, Mr. O. W. Johnson, the present principal, succeeded Mr. Lantz. After the war the student activities in the school were increased and a two-year commercial course was added. At 'tzhiis time the school accommodations proved most inadequate for the increased number of stu- dents, so in 1923 a spacious new addition was built to the higth school. This included a new gymnasium, an auditorium, science laboratories, and six new class rooms. New student organi' zations made their appearance such as the glee club, orchestra, and many other activities which were made possible by the new gymnasium and auditorium. In 1924, Mr. Edwin McCormick succeeded 'ML Smith. In this year the school paper, named the Graredion, and our annual, The Tatler, made their appearance. With the increased in-terest in athletics came a girls' varsity baskeit ball team and a physical education course for both boys and girls. More clubs and organizations came in existence in the follwoing year such as the Leaders' Club, the Varsity Club, the junior Chamber of Commerce, the Activiities Committee and the French and Latin Clubs. Interest in dramatics was manifested by thejniuor and senior class plays and the operetta. In 1926 the old ball park was bought by the school board and made into an athletic field for the high school. Mr. Joseph L. Black, the present supervising principal, succeeded Mr. McCormick in 1929. That same year a library was installed with a librarian in charge. At this time the junior high school which had been in the high school building for many years was removed and placed in a new building adjoining the athletic field. The growth of the high school has been remarkable, as is shown by its history. It has increased from a handful of students and a few teachers to a student body of approximately 350 and a faculty of 16 teachers. This year's graduating class is ten times the size of the first class of five It has increased its course from a two-year academic course to three four-year courses, academic, general and commercial. From 1897 to 1931 Parnassus High School has been a progressive high school in an equally progressive town. We hope that in the future it will continue to fdo its part as a unit of a greater high school in a greater town. -Tm: Eniroix Page 6 'Tlilf TATLER .45 Hxw LT firm .1 B .-.lik THE TATLER -+41 -- -- ---- -f-' f -V ---- '-- ----- ---'W -f-' -- ------- +w HM- JOSEPI-I L.

We therefore attempt to preserve in the following ac' count a permanent record of our high school life. Upon entering high school in nineteen twentyfseven, we were very much frightened and got our classes and courses all mixed up. The upper classmen took a delight in tormenting us until our reportfroom teachers informed us that in union there was strength. It was then that we determined to unite and organize our class. As president we elected Jack Cheesman, as vice president, Luella Safferg as secretary, Sarah Ross, and as treasurer, Louise Cooke. We chose as our class motto After the struggle, the reward, and the iris as our class flower. Proving an ex' ception to the rule that all freshmen are green, we are represented in nearly every form of activity which the school had-including the operetta, Graredion Staff, Glee Club, orchestra and finally on the Tatler Staff. When in the fall olf twenty-eight we entered our sophomore year, we were ready to torment the freshmen as we had been tormented. That year, instead of having to be told, we immediately organized and chose for president, john Page: vice president, Gretchen Southworth, secretary, Martha Sproullg and for treasurer, Ira McLaughlin. In the fall we had a wiener roast on Mt. Vernon where the story-telling contest was won by Mr. Gill. To pay for our class picture in The Tatler, we gave a play called A Box of Monkeys which proved whati rare draf matic ability our class possessed. In our junior year the class had dwindled down to half its size. In spite of our losing a number of worthy class members, we still had enough from which to choose these able leaders: president, Paul Moore, vice president, Clyde Harman, secretary, Gretchen Southworthg and treasurer, Laura Taylor. This year promised to be a prosperous one and in tihe end really was successful. We knew we had to have a great deal of money for the juniorfsenior prom so we began earning money by giving a play after school entitled Marrying Off Father. The next big event was the junior class play, The Charm School, which proved a wonderful success. Most of our boys were on twhe foot ball and basket ball varsity teams and the girls took part in Basket ball and Leaders' Club. We held a dance in the gym with music by Maglisco's Orchestra. The junior prom came as a fitting climax to the year. Then we entered school as dignified seniors having the same officers as the previous year with the exception of Myrtle Timmins who was elected secretary. With the thought and thrill of grad-uation, we turned our heads toward studies first. After we were sure of our grades we began our actizvities. Football came first bringing all its glory. After the football season, we began working on The Tatler. The senior play proved remarkable. With our graduation we hope we have proved that after the struggle comes the reward. --BETTY LEWIS. Page 26 THE TATLER CLASS POEM S In nineteen hundred twenty-seven We entered our high school days, And now that we-are graduating, We are glad in many ways. Sometimes a tear of sadness Would often fall in vain, But now there are tears of gladness, For we have won the game. Our dear old school we love so well Within your walls we roam. We'1l remember you throughout the years When we are far from home We think of our teachers and classmates too, There's a lot that we can tell Along with duties and friendships, They all will wish us well. We remember our friends in Parnassus High When we were lively and gay, And in visions we see the colors Of the dear old crimson and gray. We have played the game the best we know And now that we are done, We've only started on life's hard way, The battle is just begun. We know our thoughts will ever go back And never will we shun The memories of the dear old class Of nineteen thirtyfone. Goodbye forever, to our high school days, May we leave this bit of advice, To the ones who are following after us Strive, and you'll be repaid twice. -RENA SPROULL r Page 27 THE TATLER -qw ...---.--........-,- ....,.,..........,. . .....7, ,,,,, Y, . ,,....,, -..,.,,. . ,.,..,...r.,.z,..-,-.., , . , U, CLASS ORATION WI After the Struggle, the Reward Liffe has often been referred to as a struggle. This may not apply to the lives of many but to those who are seeking more than the ordinary success in life it is true. Why do most of the people of today strive to get an education and to be successful in life? For the satisfaction of hard work perhaps, but rather it is for a reward of some kind. Their return may be money, fame, popularity or joy in service to humanity. All these, nevertheless, are rewards whether they are sought or come naturally as a result of one's life work. Many of our famous men have become prominent only after a life of strivf ing. Lincoln is an excellent example of this. He was poor and had to work him- self up the ladder of success step by step. His life was a struggle and he gained his reward. He became the foremost man of the country and a leading citizen but not after a life of ease and comfort. He had to work for his fame but it was worth the effort. We may also consider some of our famous inventors. Many of them would be unknown and their invention still unheard of if they had not been persevering and determined to make their work a success. Most of them had to stuggle before they could persuade the public to accept their inventions. Their efforts were justly rewarded for they attained fame and fortune and the satisfaction of having rendered a great service to mankind. There are some people who have worked hard all their lives. They have tried to be successful and to make something of their lives. They may have become discouraged and ceased to hope to be repaid for their labors. Indeed, they may not receive fame, or fortune but they may earn a greater and more lasting reward. Their satisfaction is in knowing that their lives have been an inspiration to others or that they have given a great service to the worldf. Thus we may not actually see our reward but others may see that we have deserved one. There are others who are constantly seeking money or fame but who wish to obtain them without any effort. Few of these people gain their desires and those who do have usually gained them at the expense of others who are less fortunate. No worthwhile reward comes to a person who has not worked for it and who has not sacrificed something in his life to get it. One may forego certain pleasures to obtain a good education in order to prepare for life's work but success in life will repay one for this sacrifice. There are also people whom we meet who do not continfually seek a reward for their work. They do their work for the pleasure they obtain from it and the help they may give to others in doing it. That is enough reward for them al- though others would not consider it as such. These last few examples mentioned are really applicable only to the minor' ity of people in this world. What about the vast majority? The 'ultimate aim in life of this majority is a reward of some kind. To them it is the realization of their hopes and ambitions and the result of a life of struggle which is to be repaid in the way they most desire. Not only that, the majority do not expect their re- ward to be given to them. They expect to struggle for it, to earn it and als a ,ref sult they will really appreciate it. They above all realize the truth of- after the struggle, the reward. LOUISE COOKE. Page 28 'THE TATLER IIN -+I!

H. S., with their coach, Al Dunn, gave their best services mo make the farewell year a season to linger in memory. 'At the beginning of the season, .six lettermen remained from :the previous year and thirty new candidates, the scrubs, offered themselves to take: knock-s and hard practice in onder to form a h-ard fighlting team - Captain Paul Moore led his team to the first victory by defeating Springdale Hi 19f0 in our new stadium. Our fullback, Shyrocks, scored the hrst touchdown and Moore and McLaughlin broughlt in the remaining points. T.he great football spirit, with which the season started off, enabled our sturdy eleven to defeat Verona 13-0 on the home field. Our' fullback again scored ftwo touchdowns. George Peters played an exceptionally good game. The following Fniday, the Parnassus team traveled to Oakmont to match ists skill and ability on a strange field for the first time during the season. The P. H. S. gridders crushed Oakmont under an avalanche of scores. Shyrocks, McLaughlin, Moore, and Koleva tallied the Red and Gray touchdowns, giving our team a 2597 triumph. Koleva featured with a 77 yard run-back of a punt for a. touchdown. Flood lights having been installed in the school stadium, P. H. S. was matched nelxt with Har-Brack in the Hrst night football game ever played in this valley. This turned out to be one of the hardest fought games of the season. P. H. S. led unltil the last feaw minutes, when the Big Green opened with an aerial attack, defeating the Red and Gray 21-13. Tompf kins and Belli starred- in this contest. , The next Friday in a game against Kittanning, the Red and Gray warriors toqk their turn in winning a night game wilbh a score of l4f2. Shyrocks and Moore carried the pigskin over the final stripe to add another victory to our list. Parnassus journeyed Ito Aspinwall for the next game. The day was disastrous for the home team. Lacking several of our regulars because off injuries in the preceeding game, we lost l3'6. But you can't hold a good team down. Parnassus came right back and defeated Arnold High 14-7. McLaughlin raced 40 yards for the first rtouchdown and Shyrocks contributed a second marker. Stonis showed his ability by place kicking the two extra points. In a mood for victory, the Parnassus eleven defeated East Pittsburgh 33f0 the following Saturday. The touchdowns were ma-de by Shyrocks, Moore, McLaughlin, Peters and Tompkins: Sltonis place kicking the extra points. The line as a whole played a wonderful game with special mention due to West, Zalesky and Seria. The closing game of the season was with our old rival, Ken Hi. The Red and Gray played a clean hard game but lost out in the end l3f0. This ends the Red and Gray football record. Since P. H. S. and Ken Hi have united, Parnassus High School wishes the best of luck to the boys who will be playing next year. First Team Paul Moore QCapt.j ............. .....

The girls seemed unlucky in many of their games by having to accept defeat after a hardffought game in which they lost by a very small margin, With four letter girls, Miss Bigham succeeded in building up a pretty fair team. How' ever, credit should be given to those girls who had not previously earned a letter but who contributed much to the team this year. Ruth Serway and Martha Sproull, our captain, were outstanding in center-play, They worked together very well on tipfoffs and passes. On the forward end of the floor it was hard to tell who would start the game, Agnes Playfair, Anne McGreg:1r or Myrtle Timmins. All three played a part of almost every game this season, The guard end of the floor was much the same way, the choice lying among Lula Mae W'illiarns, Mildred Reed and Thelma Bracken. However, everyone of them did their part to keep the opponent's score as low as possible. Aided by the work of the faithful subs. by Miss Bigham's coaching and with the help of our manager, Laura Taylor, our girls were able to keep in good form and play many inter' esting il' not victorious games. lst Game Ind Game lst Game 2nd Game Parnassus 15 Springdale ..
