To view a school of then and now would be to see greatly contrasting scenes. The early school houses were crude, uncomfortable, poorly heated and lighted. They were very different from the modern schools with their up-to-date equipment including gymnasiums, libraries, and cafeterias. The teachers were barely removed from illiteracy, and school was attended only two or three months in a year. Much opposition rose against free edu- cation. Religious denominations were of the opinion that education should be closely tied up with religious instructions. Others argued that education for the masses was dangerous. Hope for the new order seemed lost when Thaddeus Stevens, rising in defense of his cherished ideas, turned the tide, and free education was saved. It took a great many years to bring us a fully equipped school such as our own Keith Junior High School, but we who are leaving it now, after three happy years of enjoying its many advantages, are grateful to those who, years ago, helped to pave the way. FAREWELL The end has come to this, as it must to all things, for only through endings are new beginnings made possible. It is the fate of man that he can never rest. It is the fate of life that it must ever change. But as the dropping leaves of Autumn give to us the promise of the new awaken- ing, so the closing leaves of text books give the certainty of new advancement. The close, or what we call the close, is therefore not the end at all, but merely a transition, a gateway to more and higher knowledge. But yet when endings come, who can think about beginnings? At times like this, transitions matter little. Gateways lead from daylight into dark- ness. It matters only that a change is made and there is something sad about a change. Yet one must always change, and always with the secret fear that the old was somehow better. Each thing gained has brought its cost of something lost, and with each bit of knowledge comes the more acute proxim- ity of change. And there is something sad about a change. It is at once the greatest tragedy of change-and yet, the greatest blessing- that it cannot quite erase its memories. So let it be with us as we leave here. The only promise that we dare make to you is this: No matter where the fates decree that we shall go when we leave here, to that place, too, shall go the memory of you and all you mean to us. What's more to say? Farewell. Andrew Ritter, 9 OFF FOR VACATION What are you going to do this summer? Right now those long lazy days of summer stretch out endlessly in our anticipation. But we know from experi- ence how quickly they pass and how soon September comes to call us back to the duties and pleasures of school. We leave now, to go our separate ways. Some will enjoy trips to far places, some will find at home the many things there are to do on summer days when one has lots of leisure time. ' We say goodbye to you now, until Autumn again brings us all together to miss the old faces and welcome the new. 'NUFF SED Look closely, dear children, for this will be the last of our columns for you to see. lk if 'lf We don't feel a bit funny. Somehow we thought we'd be all elated when we finished Junior High School. But this business of leaving isn't as joyful as we expected. No sirl l K 8 Oh well! We can take it.

CAdieuj KEITH JUNIOR HIGH DSK 3 Hi-Lights of 1933-1935 At Keith NEW UNIFORMS ORDERED FOR KEITH BAND May 2, 1934 turned out to be a great day for Keith, as it marked the signing of a contract for new uniforms for our band. After four years of envious waiting Keith hopes to send the band gaily attired in green and white uniforms to head the victorious march at the Roose- velt-Keith football game. The contract has been given to the firm of Leopold and Bigley. They have promised to use a beautiful shade of green whipcord. The trousers, vest, and cape are green. The vest is military and trimmed with white braid. The capes are lined with white. The entire uniform is enhanced by a green military cap finished with a white cord. Just watch our boys step out. It will be a sight to even gladden the heart of Old Ireland herself. Edward Gilmore, 9 W. C. T. U. ESSAYS Every year there is an essay contest sponsored by the Women's Christian Temperance Union. The seventh, eighth and ninth grade students throughout the city participate. This year the title of the essay was Should an Automobile Driver Drink Beer? Everyone is eagerly looking forward to the results of this contest which could portray splendid ideals of temperance. The rewards are certainly worth trying for and in the near future we shall see in chapel who this year's winners are. Betty Stevens, 9 MAY DAY The annual May Day was celebrated on May 9, at Mansion Park, where more than 5,000 spectators viewed the drills, relays, and various athletic events pre- sented by students representatives from every city school. Over three hundred participated in the sports alone. The first event was called at 1:30 o'clock. Following the relays by the A. H. S. varsity track squad, 'was a drill by the bands of the three high schools. Next came the May Day calisthenics program. Keith girls beat Roosevelt girls in a dodgeball game, but lost to the Blue and White's mushball team. More races and relays followed, and the 440 relay for junior high boys concluded one of our finest May Day programs.

TRAFFIC SQUAD VISITS CAPITAL On April 27, 28, and 29 members of the students traliic squads of the city visited Washington where they took part in a mammoth parade. The Blair County Motor Club sponsors this annual trip for the boys who direct traffic and guard the school children throughout the county. James Graham, Ralph Rudy, and Donald Nelson, members of the Keith traffic squad, left with Mr. Horton on Friday by automobile and bus and arrived at six-thirty P. M. at Potomac Park, Washington, D. C. The boys with their escorts visited the Congressional Library on Friday evening. Saturday they participated in a parade which was led by the United States Navy Band. Saturday afternoon the group visited the Smithsonian Institute, the new National Museum, and the Washing- ton Monument. In the evening they enjoyed a party at the Fox Theatre. The tour also included trips to the Lincoln Memorial, Arlington Cemetery, the Lee Mansion, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and the Zoological Gardens. GIRL RESERVE WELFARE WORK This body of girls in our school has been doing very commendable work. During the past year the girls sold candy to secure money for the welfare work they carry on. They sold candy at both the football and basketball games. After obtaining the money they deposited it in the bank. The girls under the direction of Miss Fetterly and Miss Wilson have success- fully completed a year of hard work to secure their welfare funds. Violet Ross, 9 September 7-School opened.

MEETS Saturday, April the twenty-second, the Blair County Parent-Teachers Association met at D. S. Keith. The morning session began at 9:30 o'cIock and was in charge of Mrs. W. K. Stultz. The devotions were led by Rev. Harrity, and the assembly joined in singing several numbers. Greet- ings were extended, and the remainder of the program consisted of discussions and reports. Themeeting was adjourned at 12:30 for luncheon which was served in the Keith cafeteria. The afternoon session began at 1:30 with Superintendent R. E. Laramy pre- siding. The combined Parent-Teachers chorus was presented under the direc- tion of H. W. Lindaman. Following this, there was a discussion and then the Martinsburg Mothers Singers entertained with two numbers. After another dis- cussion, the convention became a ques- tion box. Parents and teachers were privileged to ask questions and they were discussed and answered by volunteer participants. The meeting was adjourned at 4:00 o'cloek. Dorothy Gorman, 9 STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN WELFARE PARADE On April 24 seventy-five Keith students participated in a parade organized to raise funds for medical attention for children whose parents can not afford it. This welfare work is sponsored by the Blair County Poor Board. ' There are approximately one thousand boys and girls in this city who need glasses but whose parents cannot afford to get them. Their affliction, which in some cases might lead to blindness, will now be taken care of by the fund. Keith Junior High School feels it an honor to lend its aid to such a worthy cause. Catherine Crawford, 9 ADJUTANT RALPH MILLER ADDRESSES KEITH ASSEMBLY On Friday, March 20, 1934, the pupils of D. S. Keith were entertained by Adjutant Ralph Miller, the Division Secretary .of the Salvation Army. His topic of discussion was Character. His talk was so witty and clever that it made excellent entertainment. Some of the facts he mentioned were educational as well as witty. He stressed especially his point that the youth of today should read worthwhile books, rather than some of the modern worthless literature. Dorothy Faris, 9 STUDENTS MAKE VARIETIES SETTINGS The sets which added greatly to the beauty of the Varieties of 1934 were made and painted by the members of Mr. Smay's and Mr. Horton's craft clubs and a selected group of two hundred art students. The scenes were made and painted in the Craft Shop of the Keith School. The scenes included: The Hungarian arch overlooking a lake, the Venetian scene viewing St. Mark's and the Ducal Palace, the modern Manhattan scene, the Garden scene from the Blue Danube, the ragged and the satin slipper from the Pantomime. The stage sets are: the eagle shown with the Russian chorus, the horse and dogs from the hunting chorus, the jewel cas- ket, and the bows and arrows. The gauze scene from the Blue Danube was so large it was necessary to be made in the boiler room. The gauze was painted by a selected group of art students. Sidney Friedman, 9 VOCATIONAL TALKS GIVEN T0 THE N INTH GRADE During the school year ninth grade students indicated by questionnaires their choice of professional vocational courses to be taken in high school. These were tabulated and for the past few weeks, talks have been given to ninth grade students concerning their respective voca- tions or professions. Some of the talks given so far are: Medicine-Dr. Thomas. Law-Mr. Sheeline. Art-Mr. Smay. Teaching-Supt. Laramy. Nursing-Miss Patterson. Architecture-Mr. Royer. Aviation-Mr. Hite. Music-Mr. Lindaman. Engineering--Mr. Haghurd. Farming-Mr. Hamil. Business-Mr. Hoover. g Forestry-Mr. Brennecke. Much interest has been shown in these meetings, and our boys and girls have received valuable instruction in prepara- tion for their high school courses. The school is grateful to those who gave these talks. Betty McNaughton, 9 HONOR ROLL FIFTH MARKING Pmuou g Room llll V Room 201 Room 204 .

Beautiful Empress of the Night - You give my heart delight To see your wings of pale blue green With their glittering golden sheen. Go, lovely creature, from the old walnu tree. Oh you rare beauty! now you are free. I have been lucky to see such a sight The emerging and flight- of a. Luna iMoth. Dorothy 'Zediker, 9 A POETICAL TAIL In days of old When nights were cold, And I was but a kid I spied a tail, Just off the trail And this is what I did, I grabbed that tail, And with a rail I smashed his lid, I smashed his trunk, ! l ! ? ? Y ' Gee whiz, it was a skunk! Andrew Ritter, 9 1 FULFILLMENT An old tin can, In the dump it lay All dented and rusty and worm, People passed it day by day With naught but a look of scorn. Time was When the little tin can was new, All shiny and spic an' span 3 Its life was full, its sorrows few- It was a friend of man. But alas, one day the cook came along To prepare the midday meal. She took her can-opener, sharp and strong, And opened up the seal. The contents were to nourish man That life, he might sustain. But oh, with a toss, the little tin can Was thrown out into the rain. Along came a red-headed, freckled-faced boy- On fishing he was bentg He said, Oh, what luck! what joy! And into his pocket it went. With fat, juicy worms, he filled the can, To lure the Wiley trout- And thus again it served man Ere its short life went out. And now in the river mud it lies, And o'er a cool stream Hows, Hidden, unseen by human eyes It serves as a home for the minnows. SPRING FEVER I get a lazy feeling About this time of year Now that the flowers bloom again And all the birds are here It might be that I'm just happy At the end of winter drear But it's not-it's just spring fever. I have no interest now in school About this time of year It happens every year like this When days grow bright and clear It might be that I'm sorry That the end of it's so near But I'm not-it's iust spring fever. Beth Swope, 9 DAWN Dawn comes, Dawn goes, Then 'tis day, Day comes, Day goes, Then 'tis eve, Eve comes, Eve goes, Then 'tis night, And as purple shadows fall, 'Tis gone- Again the dawn. Betty Crilly, 9 THE STORM Darkening skies Widening eyes, Rain and mud, Storm and flood, Lightening and thunder, Horror and wonder, Bending trees, Changing breeze, Now howling winds The storm begins! TWILIGHT I I'm glad when the long day is over, And evening at last is here, For of all the hours of the day Twilight to me is most dear. For then all worlds completed The evening is stealing on, The sun sinks down behind the hills More radiant than at dawn. Fhere is time to recollect the day Fo separate the right from wrong, Be sorry for your weakness And vow to be more strong. Twilight at times is happy Again it is cloudy and sad Fwilight is the hour of quietness When to be living you're glad. The shadows begin to deepen The twilight hour is at end i But that hour may do much for you For trouble and sorrow it mends. Beth Swope, 9 BLACKNESS I look at you, and yet you seem, To hold no sympathy for me. You are so dark, and dank, and cold, No eheerfulness for me you hold I dread you when in caves I peer, For seeing nothing makes me fear. I hate you on a dark, hot night, When you do blacken everything that's light. I illuminate my spacious room, To bar you out, with all your gloom. You seem so -large, and vast to me And I shall always fearful be To you I'1l always turn my back For the simple reason that you're- black! William Hughes, 9 SPRING Spring To some Is happiness, To others Just restlessness, To still others - 'Worlds of complaint That somber pictures paint Spring To many Sunshine Bright as heaven's dome, Radiates from heart and home Live the- Happiness and sunshine For, by cheer and smile Life will be worthwhile. Frances Louise Schum, 9 Edward Gilmore, 9 Betty Crilly, 9 KEITH JUNIOR HIGH DSK 7 CLASS WILL-1934 We, the class of 1934, of D. S. Keith .Junior High School, in the city of Altoona, County of Blair, state of Pennsylvania, the United States, Continent of North America, hemisphere of the West, and the earth, being in good mental con- -dition as usual, and of unlawful age Cunder 211 do hereby declare this our last will and testament, rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills that may have been made previously by us during a period of mental optimism. We have no specific directions to leave concerning our funeral, but we do hope you will come prepared to praise as well as bury us, forgetting the trifiing faults that may have been ours and remember- ing only our many virtues. All our funeral expenses, we hope, will be paid by the Board of Education. We feel that our brilliant record and our unusual achievements will live after us, but not wishing to take any chances, We suggest that a tablet, on which shall be inscribed our several names, and a 'few of our most astounding deeds, be purchased and placed in the auditorium of the school, in a position where it will strike the eye of all who enter. In this manner we do dispose of all -our possessions. Item: To the authorities, we advise .rigid and more frequent fire drills. We believe them to be of great benefit to our junior high school students especially on hot days. Item: To the 1935 class, we bequeath our most valuable properties, mainly, our self-satisfaction, our importance and our wisdom, and we hope said gifts will be of use in overcoming their present lack of pep. Item: To the yoimg and unsophisti- cated class of 1936, we leave a map of the school building. We include with this map our little pamphlet entitled How to tell the Teachers, a book compiled by us after three years of arduous study. The legatees will notice that it is not what to tell the teachers, but how. It contains specific information as to which teachers can be bluffed, which are easy and which are hard to please, and those whom it is impossible to please. It tells who your favorite authors must be to stand well with the English Department, and what questions to ask the science teachers to make them forget the lesson and be interesting. Item: To our principal, we give and bequeath a sense of relief that we have at last been graduated. Item: To the band we 'give our best wishes that it will shortly be arrayed in uniforms. SURPRISE Thinking . . . thinking . . . thinking What could it be? Joe was celebrating his sixteenth birth- day. Aw, gee, Mom, said Joe, why can't you tell me what it is? Golly, you promised to tell me on my sixteenth birthday. What's the secret you're keeping from me? My son, said Mrs. Davis, I really hate to tell you. I don't like to dis- hearten or discourage you. And, besides, I really don't think it is my place to tell you. Perhaps you should ask your father. I Hopefully approaching his father, Joe began: Please dad, what's the secret everyone around here has been keeping from me? Can't you tell me? Please . . . Well son, hesitated Mr. Davis, I really think it would be more appro- priate to ask your grandfather. You know, son, it's very hard to break such news. Grandfather was sitting in the next room smoking and reading. Well, grandpa, said Joe, pulling up a chair, I want you to tell me something. And very confidently he eagerly began the same shower of questions. I don't know exactly how to begin Joe 3 no, . . . Well, grandpa, interrupted Joe, quite discouraged, mom wouldn't tell me, so I went to dad and he said I should ask you . . . so here I am. Don't leave me in such suspense! But the most satisfaction he received was going to his grandmother. However, his grandmother didn't satisfy his desir- ous request, either. Going back to his grandfather, Joe coaxed him into telling the great secret. What could this secret be? Was it some- thing about the family? Was it some- thing about his own personal welfare. Preparing himself by gripping the chair, Joe was ready to be told. Well, said grandpa, there ain't no Santa Claus! Frances Louise Schum, 9 NIGHT The sun has sunk in the golden west, Gone again to take its rest The moon, will soon, like a ball appear And look down down on this world, so queer. The stars will light the heavenly way Where angels and cherubs laugh and play Nothing so beautiful, can equal night With the moon and the star giving light. THE RESCUE The mystic silence of an early June night was broken by the hysteric screams of a child and the roaring of the flames that were destroying the residence of four year old Ann Faust and her widowed mother. In a moment the street was alive with the clanging of the bells on the small town's only fire truckp Upon the arrival at the scene .of the disaster, the firemen found the frantic mother relating her tale of the mysterious occurrence. She told how she was awakened by the smothering smoke that was filling 'her room. Her listeners in- quired as to the where-abouts of her daughter Ann and the pet dog, Pat. Mrs. Foust awoke to the fact that her daughter was missing. As she realized the horror of the situation, the mother collapsed. ' Five minutes later frantic neighbors were searching high and low for the missing pair, but to no avail. After one hour of searching and quiz- zing, no trace of the lost child or the pet dog was revealed. There was but one place where the child could have beeng the still smoking ruins- of their once attractive home, which remained too hot to allow a successful search. Dawn found the firemen still raking the remains of the dwelling for some evidence that would prove that the vic- tims had perished in the iiames. An hour later found the desperate searchers with no .evidence whatever. They advanced their fruitless search with the theory that the child had been kidnaped and the building set on fire to cover the tracks of the invaders. Their decision was the only plausible solution to the mystery. But the question of the pet dog was brought up by the officers, who had taken command of the situation. How could anyone carry oi the child without arousing the dog? The mention of the dog seemed to bring him on the scene, for hardly had the words been spoken, when the scorched collie limped out of the This gave the searching and they directed the wood.
