M Supervising Principal Stoney Point School Clearfield Leonard Graded Dickinson Seminary Allegheny College University of Pittsburgh State College THE ECHO 5 DEAR SENIORS:H When talking about anybody in his absence, I would suggest that you keep in mind the following beautiful poem by James Whitcomb Riley :- ULET SOMETHING GOOD BE SAID When over the fair fame of friend or foe The shadow of disgrace shall fallg instead Of words of blame, or proof of thus and so, Let something good be said. Forget not that no fellow-being yet May fall so low but love may lift his head: Even the cheek of shame with tears are wet, If something good be said. No generous heart may vainly turn aside In ways of sympathy: no soul so dead But may awaken strong and glorified, If something good be said. And so I charge ye, by the thorny crown, And by the cross on which the Savior bled, And by your own souI's hope of fair renown, Let something good be said I cannot too much impress upon your mind that Iabor is the condition which God has imposed on us in every station of lifeg there is nothing worth having that can be had without it. As for knowledge, it can no more be planted in the hu- man rdind without labor than a Held of wheat can be produced without the pre- vious use of the plow. If we neglect our spring, our summer will be useless and contemptible, our harvest will be chaff and the winter of our old age unrespected and desolate.-fSir Walter Scott., Do not, then, stand idly waiting For some greater work to dog Fortune is a lazy goddess, She will never come to you. G0 and toil in any vineyard, Do not fear to do or dare, If you want a held of labor, You can find it anywhere. -CSeIected.D Yours sincerely, Grant Norris, Supervising Principal. 6 THE ECHO DEDICATIO The Senior Class of 1927 hereby dedicate this Echo to Our Faculty, who have been very helpful to us. MR. FOREMAN came to us from Osceola High School. He has been very helpful to us in our Science. He also acted as our faculty advisor. MISS HIPPS who has been with us three years has proven very efficient. She takes care of our Literary matters and also Class Plays. The High School is very grateful to her for its literary success. MISS LEIB, This is Miss Leib's first year with us and she has proven a success. She teaches Latin and French. MR. MCCREIGHT is our Coach and Mathematic teacher. He has raised the Athletic standard and has helped Curwensville gain a name in Athletics. MR. ROBISON has been very helpful to us. Although this is his first year with us, he has proven a very successful teacher. He teaches History and Mathematics. MR. NORRIS, Our Principal and Advisor, has been very rnuch appreciated by all. He has done much for the advancement of our schools. He has helped many discouraged students. AMONG THE NOBILITY OF MANKIND And what of teaching? Ah, there you have the worst paid, and the best rewarded, of all the vocations. Dare not to enter it unless you love it. For the vast majority of men and women it has no promise of wealth or fame but they to whom it is dear for its own sake are among the nobility of mankind. I sing the praise of the unknown teacher. Great generals win campaigns but it is the un- known soldier that wins the war. Famous educators plan new systems of pedagogy, but it is the unknown teacher who delivers and guides the young. He lives in obscurity and contends with hardship. For him no trumpets blare, no chariots wait, no golden deco- rations are decreed. He keeps the watch along the borders of darkness and makes the attack on trenches of ignorance and folly. Patient in his daily duty, he strives to conquer the evil powers which are the enemies of youth. He awakens sleeping spirits. He quickens the indolent, encourages the eager, and steadies the unstable. He communicates his own joy in learning and shares with boys and girls the best treasures of his mind. He lights many candles which, in later years, will shine back to cheer him. This is his reward. Knowledge may be gained from books, but the love of knowledge is trans- mitted only by personal contact. No one has deserved better of the republic than the unknown teacher. No one is more worthy to be enrolled in a demo- cratic aristocracy, 'king of himself and servant of mankind'. 4fDr. Henry Van Dyke, noted author and Presbyterian minister, professor of English Liter- ature at Princeton University, 1900 to 1923, U. S. Minister to the Netherlands and Luxemburg, l9l3 to l9l7. THE ECHO 7 HONEST EFFORT This is an age when achievement is emphasized in every walk of life. Every religious movement, social condition, and economic problem is measured in the terms of success. We are driven to accomplish our desire by a great force of nervous energy. In our great desire to achieve, to attain success, how many of us hesitate long enough to take a personal inventory of the quality of our labor? In our study and preparation and in the examinations we succeed in pass- ing, do we put forth all that we are actually capable, our honest effort? Does the man at his labor, the executive in his office, the clergy in his pulpit, the professional man in his practice, and the teachers in the school room give of themselves and their time, the full measure of application and service that measures up to the height of honest effort? Mere success is temporary. True achievement is everlasting. Honorable accomplishment is the reward that comes with conscious discharge of duty. There is no short cut on the road to success. There are barriers to pass over, obstacles to overcome and temptations to guard against. If we will but attach serious importance to the need of being in earnest and constantly strive to attain our goal through honest effort, there lies our greatest glory. Frequently, to succeed is to fail and to fail succeed. For in the final analysis, honor and glory go not to the victor, but are achieved by the ones who put forth their honest effort. Too often we hear that the measure of a man to-day is the success he attains, not the effort he puts forth. But we need only to examine the career of any prominent man or woman to see that his prominence rests on a solid foundation of honest effort. There can be no real success without such effort: there can be no real failure with it. Honesty without effort results only in futile dreaming. Effort without honesty leads inevitably to disaster. Olga Errigo MODERN FICTION The success of a book is often determined by its sale in a department store. If it is a good seller, it is considered a good book. The people have a strong ap- petite for fadism. A novel to be successful must bear the stamp of society rather than the approval of the critic. If a noted society matron likes a certain novel, whatever its qualities may be, the people in turn consider the novel good and just what they should read. The people of today, see much of the sordid side of life in their walking through the streets, the dust and grime is very prominent. The life of the slums is known to most people. Then the people have to be shocked by their reading to be amused. The people don't care to have their reading matter true or real, in fact realism was never a fad. Truth has never been fashionable. No society takes up phil- osophy as an amusement. A story may become a fad, if it is shocking enough, if it has in it the thrill of delicious wickedness. Such novels have their time for the present but they cannot live. Fiction is a necessary element of modern education in our country. A novel is an intellectual luxury and only the best should be given credit. Of the making of books, there is no end. -Era Cometta THE ECHO CLASS POEM The time has come for parting And now we say good-byeg We're ready for departing Now don't begin to cry. We few have made the grade, Of all who with us entered, We've all the luck we've made So we're on the future center'd. We've spent four happy years ln our dear old high-school: And we now depart with tears, Tho' we're happy, calm, and cool. When our school ties do cease, Oh, oft for you we'll sigh. We wish you luck and peaceg Good-bye, my schoolmates, good-bye. Esther Freeman THE ECHO 9 ir? GRETCHEN LEIB, A. B. W. L. MCCREIGHT, B. S.

As we were the largest class in High School, we soon attracted quite a bit of attention from the upper classmen. We held a class meet- ing and after a little more than the usual confusion we succeeded in electing the following officers and colors.

This time we took the ever waiting seats of the Jolly Juniors, and we certainly lived up to our name. We found upon taking our places that ten of our classmated had decided to complete their course in three years. They were: Minnie Ardary, Albert Conley, Elmo Erhard, Park Erhard, Katherine Errigo, Rosemary Gallagher, Nora johnson, Henry Kirk, Alma Luzier, and Josephine Morgillo. We held a class-meeting and de- cided on our rings. We also elected the following officers. President ..............,..........,.. . .....................

Seven juniors came to join our little band of thirty-five Seniors. They were: Pearl Brown, Ruth lVlcKendrick, Ed- ward Harmic, Thelma Kendall, Sara Louise Rhodes, Eleanor Porter, and jean Pifer. At our first class meeting we selected the following motto: H Keep Climb- ing . We also elected the following officers: President .,,...,.....................,......,................

May each one of the class of '27 succeed in anything that he or she may un- dertake to do in the great unknown future which lies just ahead. Mary E. Bowman THE ECHO ZI CLASS PROPI-IECY Los Angeles, California April 29, I942 Dear Thelma, As I haven't written to you for a long time, I thought I'd write and tell you of my tour of Europe and United States and of the old classmates I saw. I started two years ago from New York City. After I had boarded The Marathon , I was surprised to learn from a sailor that Walter Bowman was captain of the steamer. One night after I had reached London, I decided to go to the grand opera. The star singer was none other than our classmate, Era Cometta, and her accompianist was Burton Bloom. The following day I left for France. I visited Paris first. I thought I'd get a Paris frock so went into a famous modiste shop. As the modiste advanced toward me I thought she looked fam- iliar and when she spoke I knew it was Florence Kephart. A few steps behind her came Olga Errigo who, she told me, was her partner. The next day while strolling with a French guide, we passed a beautiful mansion which arrested my attention. My guide informed me that it was the home of the American ambassador. just then a limousine rolled up to the curb and out stepped a stately-looking man. Would you believe that that dignified man was the care-free I-larry Bloom of ye old I-ligh School days? After chatting a while I asked him where I might buy a good roadster as I wanted to motor to Rome. He told me that Edward Harmic owned one of the best garages in the city. Old Ed was more than glad to sell me a car as he hadn't sold one in five months although he had the world believing that he sold ten every day. Well, then I left for Rome. While viewing the Colosseum I noticed a girl sketching. As I approached her I was amazed to see that she was Catherine Cook. We talked a while and she told me to visit the University of Rome as it was a wonderful place. I did and as I was going through the main hall, the office door of the dean of women was opened and out tripped Pearl Brown as quiet and reserved as ever. She asked me to visit the classes that afternoon to which I consented. We saw a group of teachers talking on the campus and I recog- nized Eleanor Porter who, I learned from Pearl, was teacher of English and Floyd Nobbs who was teaching Science. While still in Rome I received an invitation to the marriage of Sara Louise Rhodes and Ed Shaffer who were in jacksonville, Florida. How they got down there behind the sun I don't know, but I was determined not to miss that wedding, so I was obliged to shorten my tour in Europe and return to the States. Upon arriving in New York City, I went to the Pennsylvania Hotel to spend the night and was astounded when I learned that Dorsey Bloom was the pro- prietor. 22 THE ECHO When I arrived in Jacksonville, I went directly to the church for I had got- ten there just in time for the wedding. The wedding march was played by Ruth Haines and Sara Louise had chosen Mary Bowman for maid-of-honor. I went from there to Philadelphia. While in Philadelphia I played a tennis tournament with Erna Bloom, the ex-champion tennis-player of the United States. By accident I severly sprained my wrist and found it necessary to go to the hos- pital. I saw there as head nurse, Mary Aughinbaugh. While still in Philadelphia, I was introduced to the ex-mayor of that city who happened to be Esther Freeman. I decided to go west so I departed the following morning. In Cleveland I had some shopping to do so I stayed there a few days. As I was walking through the park I saw a familiar-looking woman accompanied by two small children coming toward me. On the second look I assured myself that it was Marian Way. We talked for a few minutes and I learned that she was goverrfess to the two children. I left Cleveland the next morning. On the train I saw a small boy opposite me who was crying because his mother wouldn't allow him to play with a violin which belonged to a distinguished-looking woman. I went over to the boy and in order to console him started to the observation platform with him. As I passed the violinist she spoke, and can you guess who she was? ,Ielan Pifer. Of course I sat down and we talked a while. She told me she was going to Pasa- dena to play for the Rose Carnival. In a small western town three other passengers and myself got off to get some magazines. just as we came out of the store the train started and in spite of our shouting and hurrying we were left behind. An old rancher who had watch- ed our dilemna offered to take us in his Ford by a short-cut to the next town. I-Iad it not been for his smallness in stature and manner of speaking, I never would have known that he was Fred Whitaker. Can you imagine him in the ranching business? When in Hollywood and visiting the moving-picture studios, I was quite surprised to see the names of Mabel Dale, Clara Farwell, and Roxie Knepp posted as leading stars. Although they were very busy, I talked to them for a short time. They told me that they had purchased the lots on which were built their beautiful mansions from James Ammerman, the land shark. After having seen those three, I considered my tour at an end so came here to Los Angeles and have settled down for an indefinite length of time. Well, Thelma, write and tell me how you're getting along with your book- keeping in the Boston National Bank. Your classmate, Ruth McKendrick. THE ECHO Z3 SOCIAL NEWS When we entered into High School as Freshman, our Hrst big social affair was a dance at the Grange Hall, Oct. 23, I923. Our next event was a sleigh load to Clearfield. We held a St. Valentine Dance at the Legion rooms, Feb. 4, 1924, and May 28, l924 we entertained the Senior class at the Legion rooms. In our Sophomore year we found we were in debt, and held a dance at the Legion rooms, March I8, l925. This was our only social affair in our Sophomore year. Then as we became juniors our first social affair was a sleigh load. And on May 8, 1926 the juniors and Sophomores entertained the Seniors with a banquet and a dance. A dance held at the gymnasium has been our first social affair. Our literary work so for this year has been very successful. The grammar schools have taken an interest in this kind of work and have been having their literaries. The High School so far has had five literaries. INTRAMURAL LITERARY CONTEST During the month of March, Professor Norris announced a plan of literary contest within our own high school which was enthusiastically received by the student body. It is the Principals plan that these contests shall become inter- scholastic, but he thought that we had better set our own house in order before measuring ourselves with other high schools. After considerable discussion it was decided to have the first INTRAMURAL LITERARY CONTEST on Friday evening, May 6, 1927, in the Locust Street Building. An admission of twenty-five cents is to be charged. The contest is to consist of five groups, as follows :4D'EBATE, ORATION, ESSAY, DECLAMATION, and READING. A member from each of the three classes will contest in each group, making three contestants in each group. It was decided that all the ,money received from the sale of high school tickets should go as a prize to the winning class, and the prize was guaranteed to be not less than 51520.00 Besides the prize for the winning class each individual winner is to receive a gold medal properly engraved with the winner's name on it. This will make a very interesting contest. The judges are to be chosen from out of town. As THE ECHO goes to press before this con- test will take place, we only give an outline of the program below:- PRESIDING OFFICER, Dr. I-I. O. King, President of School Board.

This caused no great commotion, although it was unusual and unexpected, but we made not less noise than the usual green Freshmen. Our class was then situated at Locust Street, number- ing 72. Our officers were: President ,,,,,,,, , . ,,.,,,., William Haines Vice President .,,, , , ,.,,, Richard Wall Secretary, , .. , , Annabel Buterbaugh Treasurer. , , ,, ,,,,,,,,,, Edward Kelley When we first took our places as Sophomores in High School, we were a little abashed by the upper-classmen, but only for a short interval. Our soph- isticated upper classmen soon learned that we were quite lovable and capable of friendship and eventually we became friends as we should be. Now we are well organized and take interest in all school affairs. Also we are glad to have the basket-ball manager selected from our class, Lenore Wright.

This amounted to 533.00 and was given over to the library fund. We have merely to continue our good work and keep up our remarkable spirit to attain a position which will never be forgotten in the Curwensville High School. 32 THE ECHO FRESHMAN . fgax al CLASS HISTORY On September fourth, nineteen hundred and twenty-six, the freshman class joyously gathered after the summer vacation for a year of work and play together.

Our social activities although few have been very successful. The play which was held in the Locust Street Auditorium, October twenty- ninth was largely attended, and we are now planning to have another before the end of this year's school work. The class spent an enjoyable evening on a sled load January tenth. The class of nineteen hundred and thirty is the largest class that has ever entered the Curwensville High School. We, as freshmen, know that we will keep it up and do our duty to the school. Sara King Secretary.

We're here, we're here, show us the door, Sit down, you young rascal, wait till it's o'erg Look at us now and give us a cheer, fYou're pinching me, Walter, that is my earj. Wait 'till l tell you how glad we all are, Then we'll all go out with a bang and a jar, Slam the door after us and stand in the hall, And wait for the professor to give us a call To get out and away with a din, And let others, outside, who want to come in And fill up our places and cloakroom and tiers, Now, Mary, dry up those crocodile tears. Your face needs washing, without any doubt, And, jim, what do you mean with your handkerchief out? Oh, this is a funeral, the way you all look, Standing there trembling without any book, As if you were all about to go Coo, And expect me to write you ADIEU, boo hoo! Don't say good-bye to us, anybody, please, We're not happy,-Era don't sneeze, 'Cause you are not catching cold. Olga, straighten up and try to look bold, Hold Pearl's hand, or she will faint,4 Already Eleanor begins to look quaint. Stop blowing your nose, 'cause we're glad If some one should keep us from feeling so sad, And make us feel happy for what we have done, The lessons we have learned, the good jolly fun We've had-Marian, stop that funny noise, Girls should be girls and boys should be boys. Harry, you'll faint if you don't hold up your head, And, Mabel, you look as if you are dead. Just think now of the dear old bell, Florence, my dear,-Well, I do tell, You and Red Shaffer do look a sight, Don't you forget our commencement to-night. Esther, my sweet, your glory is known, You look as if your honors had flown, Burton, you are laughing again as of yore, And, Dorsey, we know you well by your snore. Stop it, Catherine, you'll giggle yourself sick, And, Floyd, I wish you would give Edward a kick That would wake up Mary and Ruth QMCD and jean, Fred, don't think you are such a big bean, For you rattle too much in your little stone jar And are not quite filling the' place where you are.

THE ECHO 35 Mamie, my Ruth, and Florence, My dear, Cheer up and stop your looking so queer, Or Clara Farwell who has puzzled us all Will crumple right up in a terrestial bawl. Oh, ho!! My classmates of to-day and tomorrow, l sing to you now from the depths of my sorrow. The road is now parting and each has his call To separate duties for each and for all. Some to the school room and some to college To gain in earth's riches and wisdom and knowledge: Some to the kitchen and some to the law To feed earth's millions and help them to chawg Some to the mountains and some to the sea, But here we are now as good as can be, Loved by our homes and our dear odd town Where we've lost and won full many a crown, Like a fledgling in his nest on the tree top tall, Afraid to fly for fear we shall fall. But the air is waiting for the swish of our wings, Ears are listening for him who will sing. Let us go now with our girlhood and joys And take along with us these bashful young boys.

A Grasshopper consists of three pairs of long legs, which look much like tooth- picks fastened together by hingesg two pairs of wings, one which looks much like two small wooden paddles, and the other pair which is like water, in that you can see through them, a long shapeless body, on the shoulders of which a horse- collar is worn for unexpected cold weatherg and a head and face which looks much like that of a billy goat. ln fact an angry Grasshopper may often be mistaken for a second-cousin of a billy goat. The Grasshoppers are a lazy type of beingg their hardest work is the labor of keeping their jaws in the perpetual motion so characteristic in the chewing of tobacco. It is a known fact that Grasshoppers indulge in strong drink. Being too lazy to prepare this for themselves, they steal it from the ripening fruit of an apple or peach orchard. The Grasshoppers, too, are great lovers of sport. Watch closely as you pass through a ripening hay-field and you may enjoy many a game of football. Grass- hoppers also love to attend picnics where they can spit their tobacco juice on the clean, starched skirts of some fine lady. There, too, they enjoy sneaking picnic baskets and nibbling at the daintest of dainties without being espied. Compared with man, the Grasshopper is very much superior in strength. He can outjump a man sixteen times. l-le also surpasses man in climbing, walk- ing and swimming. Although the Grasshoppers are strong and powerful they are very graceful. If you wish to enjoy the best laugh of your life pay a visit to a hay-mow which has just been filled with green hay. It is a delight to watch the Grasshoppers, large and small, all join hands and dance everything from the old fashioned square dance to the fantastic Charleston. If Grasshoppers keep increasing in power and ability they will without a doubt overcome the world. The White House will some day be occupied by a great family of large eyed Grasshoppers. The President will be a fat, lazy, male Grasshopper with tobacco juice dripping down over his skin-tight vest. Mrs. President will be a dainty and dignified Grasshopperess who sits with folded hands while a maid dresses her bobbed hair. If all the Grasshoppers were dead it would be an advantage to the other tribes of people. Think of the millions and millionsof Grasshopper's eyes which could be collected and made into beads for chorus girls. All their gauzy wings could be made into ball dresses for the fairies. Then, too, many a fortune could be made from the tobacco which the Grasshoppers only waste by chewing. Grasshoppers, in general, are very destructive but when one is well ac- quainted with them their friendship is highly valued, and in some circumstances almost priceless. Have you ever stopped to listen to the music of the Grasshoppers? Beau- tiful strains of music which one can neither describe nor reproduceg music in THE ECHO 39 which you can hear the deep, angry voice of Mr. Grasshopper command a small child to sit up straight . All this is produced solely by a band of Grasshoppers scratching their hind legs together. When you have learned to listen to this and appreciate it, you will overlook the faults of the Grasshoppers, and place them on a shrine to be looked up to by all other nations of the world. Elsie Way A GENTLEMAN A gentleman is a man who walks around with a cane and does not work. He cooks his meals in an old tin can, and he eats with his fingers. He may be found anywhere, but is generally around factories where there is plenty of heat. His clothes, as well as his face and hands, are dirty. He invariably is with- out some part of his anatomy, a leg, hand, arm, or the like. They have no aversion to begging-these men of fortune. They would beg from any oneg in fact, as the expression is, they would steal the pennies off a dead man's eyes . One will be just enjoying breakfast, when he is startled by a loud rap on the door. On opening it, he beholds-what? A Gentleman! who greets him with could you give a poor old crippled man who is unable to work, a cup of coffee and a bit of breadu? If you heed him and give him what he asks for, he will be at your door every morning for the next two years. If you refuse him he whines around and calls you naughty names behind your back. It surely is all right to give but the tramps seem to have a great habit of receiving. When one is interviewed, he is always looking for work , but he is afraid- he'll find it. They have a habit of telling where they have been and what they have seen. One cannot listen to them talking for any length of time, for they are repulsive and evil. They have a large vocabulary but don't know how to use it. ln fact their grammar is terrible, as for instance, mum, could youse give us a cup 0' coffee an' a bit of bread? If one should run across a hobo cemetery, this would likely be the inscrip- tion on the tombstone, if there were such a thing: Here lies the body of old john lVlcNeil, Too honest to work, Too lazy to steal,- He was a Gentleman. Edward Harmic 40 THE ECHO TANNING IN CURWENSVILLE Tanning is one of the most interesting industries in this world of modern inventions and discoveries. The people of this generation could hardly get along without shoes, and to have shoes we must prepare the materials for making the sole leather and the soft top leather. Curwensville is very fortunate in being chosen as a site for one of the most important industries in the world. Hides for tanning and making of sole and belt leather are shipped from all parts of the world, even from South America. When they arrive here, they are first put into the wheel , where they are thoroughly washed, after being split in half. Then they are put into a lime soak, which helps to loosen the hair for the de-hairingu machine to which it is next sent. Then they are removed to the Heshing machine, which removes all hair that might have remained on when skinned. They are next sent to the beam hands , where they are scraped by hand. The next process is a plain cold water soak, after which they are taken to the yard and put into vats of liquor, made of South American nuts and the bark of oak or hemlock trees. This process is to guarantee the wearing quality. Next, they are hung on rockers , which rock back and forth in the vats. After a time they are taken from here to the scrub house , where they are scrubbed and rinsed, to remove all the surplus matter that might have collected on the hide. Later, they are put on sticks and taken to the dry loft , where they are dried by hot air. They are then dampened again and removed to the rollers, where they are rolled on both sides. Again they are returned to the lofts for polishing. They are put thru the rollers again and done up in bundles or pack- ages, ready for market. The whole process of tanning, as I have followed it, takes about ninety days. Mary Bulkley EVENING The silver moon is sailing low, And whisp'ring breezes softly blow: The sighing trees begin to nod, The world is singing praise to God. The rippling stream runs on its way, The butterflies no longer playg The sky shows pretty rainbow hues, On fiow'rs is sparkling diamond dew. The sleepy birds have gone to rest, Each one in warm and cozy nest: The day is gone, with it the light, And earth is wrapp'd in moon-lit night. Ruth lVlcKendrick THE ECHO 41 OUR LANGUAGE Our language is not so simple as some of the other languages. It is made up of words from foreign languages and of words derived from words of foreign languages. Sometime before 449 some Roman soldiers had come to England and brought with them the Latin language which they combined with the language of the Britons to a certain extent. Trouble in Italy forced them to return to the defense of their native land. In 449 the Angles and the Saxons, Tentonic tribes, invaded England and settled there. They added the German language to the British and Latin languages already there. These words were mostly trade names like pound, inch, and mile. Before driving out the Britons the Anglo-Saxons took up a few words of the original language. Very few of these words remain, for the invading tribes were probably greater than the Britons in numbers and, as they did not need them as slaves, killed them, thus destroying the Briton language. Christianity was introduced in 597 by St. Augustine. This brought in ecclesiastical words from the Greek and Latin. Some of these words are very common now, like church, minister, chapter and apostle. During the ninth and tenth centuries, England was invaded by the Danes, who introduced Danish words quite like the German. These words like fellow, sky, happy, skin, and ugly are used every day. In 1066 the Normans, a tribe of the same blood as the English race came into England and overthrew the Saxon rule. Before coming to England they had settled in France and married French wives. While in France they adopted the French language which became the language of the high class people of England. From this time until about U50 England had two languages, German and French. From these languages we got count, duke, homage, etc. Then feudalism and war added more words like aid, cavalry, captain, justice, and attorney. About l350, Chaucer combined these languages and the dialects and wrote his Canterbury Tales . His English is a language somewhat like our language of to-day. In the fifteenth century, words were borrowed from the French of Paris. These were taken over almost wholly. These were words like cadet, cajole, fatigue, route, bureau, etc. A little later the Renaissance brought in words from Latin, Dutch, Slavish, Persian and Sanskrit. From the fifteenth century to the present time new inventions and dis- coveries have brought in new words, chiefly names of things for which England had no name. Esther Freeman THE FIRE BRICK INDUSTRY Curwensville is entitled to boast of having the largest fire brick plant under one roof in America. There is only one kind of brick manufactured at this part- icular plant, and these are fire brick. Fire brick are made to serve various pur- poses in the field of industries. They are used in steel mills, cement mills, malle- able iron furnaces, copper furnaces, brass furnaces, and boiler linings for all types 42 THE ECHO of boilers. This necessitates the use of different grades of clay, known as hard or flint clay, semi-hard or semi-Hint clay, and soft or plastic clay. Plastic clay is used principally for bonding purposes, to bond the flint clays together. The various clay measures are found extensively in Central Pennsylvania, thus accounting for the many brick-yards in that section of the state. Clay in most instances is got out by mining. This may be done by means of drifting under the hill until a vein of clay is struck, then the clay is removed by drilling and shooting. After the clay is removed, it is carefully selected and loaded on cars and taken to the factory, where it is crushed into small lumps from three to five inches in diameter. It is then conveyed to bins, arranged according to the quality of clay they contain. A certain percentage of the different qualities of clay is ground in what is known as a wet-pan until it reaches a certain fineness, according to the purpose for which.it is being made. When the clay reaches a particular stage in grind- ing, it is discharged from the wet-pan onto a moulding table, where it is ready to be moulded into brick. The moulding and shaping is done by a moulder, who cuts the clay, or mud as it is sometimes called, into a walk as near the size of the mould to be used as possible. It is then rolled and shaped, a small amount of sand being used to keep the clay from sticking to the hands and to the mould- ing table. After the walks are placed in moulds they are carried by off-bearers to the tempering floor to dry. This floor is heated by steam pipes placed under- neath. It is kept at a temperature of about one hundred thirty five to one hun- dred fifty degrees. The bricks are left there from three and one half to four hours to temper or dry out. When they have acquired a certain stiffness the bricks are loaded on wheel- barrows and taken to a hand-press. They are placed in a steel dye box and press- ed to uniform size. Then they are removed from the press and piled in rows, five to six bricks high, where they are allowed to remain until they become thoroughly dried. They are then removed to the kilns where they are set in heads, one brick on top of another, mostly on edge, allowing a small space be- tween each brick as a draft. They are moved about by means of wooden paddles, in order that the brick may not be touched or marked. After a kiln has been loaded, the door is built up and plastered over, the vent caps are sealed, and fires are built in all the fire-boxes. A low, live fire is kept for about three days, until the kiln .has passed through the steaming or smoking period. If the kiln were heated to a high degree before the green brick had dried out and the water had been passed off in the form of steam, the bricks would become soggy and unfit for use. After the first three days the heat is gradually raised until the kiln is heated thoroughly. This is usually kept up for about five and one half or six and one half days at a temperature of 2300 degrees Farenheit. After the bricks have been burnt the required length of time, the kiln is permitted to cool, but must be left entirely sealed. When all the fire has left the kiln, the door is knocked down and the bricks are allowed to cool. This, in warm weather, requires about six days, in cold weather, about one half that amount of time. The bricks are then removed from the kiln and shipped to their destination in shipping cars. Bricks are shipped to nearly every part of North America from Curwens- ville. Canada, Oregon, numerous western states, as well as South America and Mexico send orders in constantly. The value of the total output of the world is one hundred million dollars per annum. Curwensville produces on an average of approximately eighteen million brick annually. Curwensville's rank in this Held of industry can easily be seen. Ruth Bloom THE ECHO GOD'S MESSAGE AS I sit on the hill over yonder And list to the clear silvery brooks, It seems that God leaves a message ln each of his beautiful nooks. The little flowers are springing From out of the no-where to here And seem to beckon and whisper That spring, the new world is here. The birds are busily building Their nests in the tree tops tallg They are making bright homes for their small ones Whom they cherish and love above all. And so all things are created- Each in its own small placeg Each striving to make things better And live by God's wonderful grace. fLenore Williams. VOICES At night the sea just seems to call to me, And l am lonely, far from home and friends, As I am slowly strolling by the sea, It seems as though a life's a dream that ends. The moon with silver beams is shinning bright, And casts a silver sheen or land and sea: And gentle breezes, blowing through the night Are whispering wierd and mystic things to me. The voices calling, croon and caress me, They seem to chant and whisper dreams of love- Of Lords and Ladies living brave and free, Who strove to reach the top on wings of love. As old and gray as I may grow to be, The vocies of the sea will sing to me Lenore Williams 44 T H E E C H O SOME SCHOOL ACTIVITIES September 7. Opening of School October 8.

THE ECHO 45 PRIZE WINNING ESSAYS Appended will be found the essays that were recently awarded the first and third prizes offered by the American Legion and which were captured by Cur- wensville I-Iigh School. The first prize winner was Miss Elizabeth Kittelberger, and third prize was awarded to Miss Eleanor Porter. The subject was A Patriot's Flag Creed . I believe in the flag because it symbolizes my country. What we believe in, we love. What we love, we serve. I believe our Hag is the greatest inspiration to patriotism, service and achievement. I believe the world is a better place to live in because of our flag. I believe that the ideas and ideals, the peace on earth and the happiness for which our flag stands will eventually envelop all nations of the world. I believe that I should give my best to my flag-my country. I pledge myself, that by every word, deed, and action I shall acclaim my respect, allegiance, loyalty, and devotion to this symbol of the greatest country- my Hag-the glorious stars and stripes. Elizabeth Kittelberger I believe that the flag of the great commonwealth of these United States stands for the freedom cherished by Washington, loved by Lincoln, and fought for by Woodrow Wilson. I feel that the democracy for which it stands must be defended in ages past, by the brave men willing to sacrifice everything for our dear red, white and blue. I know that the flag will stand forever as it has stood in years gone by, through war and in peace, the forty-eight stars making a bright constallation, these United States of America. I pledge myself to always treat the flag with reverence, love and loyaltye- firm, absolute, and unwavering-and I will always uphold the constitution for which it stands. Eleanor Porter AS CREATED There's a space for good to bloom in Every heart of man or woman,-1 And however wild or human, Or however brimmed with gall, Never heart may beat without it: And the darkest heart to doubt it Has something good about it After all. r l 46 THE ECHO FOUND IN A STUDENTS NOTE BOOK If a man can make a better book, preach a better sermon or make a better mouse trap than his neighbor, though he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door. My enemies are my friends who do not know me. I-le has too much cosmos in his ego, or may be afflicted with ingrowing ego. One of the best things about Clearfield is the train or bus to Curwensville. Don't call your child Johnny Dont. Silence is the college yell of experience. You are what you think, not what you think you are. People who never do any more than they are paid for never get paid for any more than they do The glass of fashion and the mold of form are far from me. A little dust helps me to see the sunbeam. Enough money for a number is better than too much for a few. If you want to get the work done select the busy man-the other kind has no time. Your work is a broken-off piece of your spiritual state. The world is made of much hard, Hinty substance against which your better and holier thoughts will be striking fire :-see to it that the sparks do not burn you. Ask us not concerning our past. The question is less what our past has been than what our past has made us. Not, What were you? but, What are you? A man ought to love his native land whether he was born there or not. Let the end try the man. No legacy is so rich as honesty. A friend should bear a friend's infirmities. Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried, Grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel. Who steals my purse steals trash: 'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands: But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him And makes me poor indeed.

THE ECHO TBALL SQUAD O FO THE ECHO FXTHLETIEE 3 , CHS X62 -g WN 5DOM75fC7l --lt.. 64 THE ECHO FOOTBALL The i926 Foot-ball season opened with twenty-four contestants for the team. During the season several of them dropped out for various reasons, leaving a total of seventeen. Coach lVlcCreight deserves much praise for the team which he built up. The boys were victorious in most of their games, and where they did not win, they gave a splendid account of themselves. The team's average was exceptionally high. ln fact it was one of the high- est in the county. Our greatest victory was with Philipsburg. This helped the team's morale wonderfully, and aided them in winning more games. Curwensville may justly be proud of her foot-ball squad.

S. vs. Falls Creek The first foot-ball game of the season met with much enthusiasm from the students and citizens of Curwensville. Although the weather was unfavorable, a large crowd attended. The team was in very good condition and played a very good game, the final score being 22 to 0 in Curwensville's favor. This speaks well for our boys. The team as a whole had high expectations for the other games to be played this season. i C. H. S. vs. DuBois Saturday, October 2. Curwensville met DuBois High on the DuBois field. THE ECHO 65 The game was won by DuBois, the score being twenty to nothing. Our boys were unable to penetrate their line because of the slippery condition of the field, while the heavy team of DuBois opened up holes in our defense. Both teams played a defensive game. Curwensville's clean playing showed up big in this game. - C. H. S. vs. Cooper Twp. Oct. 9, The Cooper Twp. team met us on our own field and won by ascore of thirteen to seven. We out-played them the whole game, but over confidence prevented our winning. C. H. S. vs. Philipsburg On Oct. I6, Curwensville met the Philipsburg team on our home field. C. H. S. started the game handicapped by the loss of several regulars on account of injuries. However, C. H. S. showed a wonderful spirit, and played the great- est game of the season, winninglby a score of ten to six. C. H. S. vs. Big Run Oct. 30, C. H. S. went to Big Run and returned with a twenty to nothing victory. Although the Big Run team out-weighed our team, we had the advantage of superior coaching. They were unable to break through our line on account of our team work and experience. C. H. S. vs. Punxsutawney The foot-ball game between Curwensville and Punxy resulted in a score of twenty to nothing in favor of Punxy. Although our team did not win the game, they played hard, clean, fast, foot-ball, and brought honor to Curwensville High School. C. H. S. vs. Houtzdale On Armistice Day, C. H. S. met Houtzdale High in a game on the home field. The game was just a series of gains and scores for our team. We had little opposition from Houtzdale. lfnepp and Ammerman made long gains, as well as, Wright. The resulting score was sixty-one to nothing C. H. S. vs. Barnesboro Curwensville met Barnesboro for the last home game of the season. The game was played on a frozen held. The game was won by C. H. S. by a score of forty-one to nothing. C. H. S. vs. Clearfield The closing game of the season was played at Clearfield. We were handi- capped by the loss of our Quarterback, and lost the game nothing to forty-one. This score does not even hint at the game which was played by C. H. S. Knepp, Ammerman, Shaffer and Leech all played a wonderful game. 66 THE ECHO STANDING:-Floyd Nobbs, Harry Bloom, Chester Bloom, james Ammerman.

February 9th, I9Z7 Eleanor Porter Editor of 'The Echo' Curwensville, Penna. Dear Miss Porter: I am inclosing my check for the I927 issue of The Echo, and I shall be anxiously looking forward to the reading of your school activities. May the efforts that you are extending to make this issue successful, be rewarded in the knowledge of a work well done. And may the future issues of this publication receive, from your class, the enthusiastic and liberal support that you are now soliciting from the high school's past graduates. Sincerely pledging my support to any school activity that I may be called upon to assist, and extending my best wishes for the future success of the class of l927, I am An interested graduate, Leonard Kantar Dear Seniors of l927: It is with great pleasure that I extend to you, one and all, a sincere greeting. We should always recall our school days with pleasant memories. The kindness, patience and advice of our principal and teachers should never be forgotten. It is in the home and in the school-room that the first steps are laid in our character building. It depends greatly upon ourselves what-it-may be-good or evil. We can liken character to a large structure that is being built day by day. It may grow as a castle grand or as a wreck upon the sand. In closing, I wish to leave you this message:-- Build it well, whatever you dog Build it straight and strong and true, Build it clear and high and broad Build it for the eye of God. Yours sincerely, Mrs. Maud Olson Clearfield, Pa. February 7, l927. Miss Olga Errigo. Curwensville, Pa. Dear fellow Alumni of good old Curwensville I-Iigh: just ten years since I passed out of dear old high, but today as of yesterday my feelings for all that is good lies in that which I deemed my happiest.

Dear Miss Porter:- Your letter of the 3rd, has been received and am pleased to attach my check for Sl .00 in payment for a copy of your Echo, which will be published in the near future.

It is the divine in us. lt is the power that ever urges us onward and upward along the path that no man sees. lt built every home and lit every fire upon every hearth. It glorihes the names of father, mother, husband, wife and friend, and sheds a soft effulgence around the names of those who died that we might live. It bends in rever- ent awe over every cradle and bedews the falling clay of every grave. Through all the circling three score years and ten it drives us over the billowy fields of life and lulls us into our lst sleep with the dream of immortality.
