QQ THE oM1cRoN I lx! SEPTEMBER 1925 A. D. Anna Meyers, Florence Johnson, and Anna Kapurka have it over the whole crew when it comes to quietness and attention. We often wondered why they always managed to get such good marks in all subjects. Looking back over the records, we find that some did not return from shore leave. OCTOBER 1925 A. D. FOOTBALL!!! what a healthy activity. The equad was represented by three of our great stars, Adie Stevens, Charm Miller, and Lance Duggar. Scored on Schenley-Beat Allegheny and South High. NOVEMBER 1925 A. D. Ah! the weaker sex brings the good ship OLIVERNIA into the limelight. Alice Muth is manager of the Volly Ball Team, with Mary Robertson, Udwiga Plukis, and Mildred Smith as players. 5213.4 vs-.5-aj., . .... IQ I if if C DECEMBER 1925 A. D. The girls' basket ball team brings honor to Udwiga Plukis and Mary Robert' son, both of the crew. Adie Steven-s shines as captain of the Oliver natators. JANUARY 1926 A. D. The steamer takes out from its Christmas vacation. !'Stew Smith, an' other of our famous athletes is what we would call a gloom killer. He's said to be a sort of womanfhater, but I think he is too goodflooking to be that bad. fAsk Gallij FEBRUARY 1926 A. D. Basketball nearing the home stretch with the Oliver team striving in vain. Johnny and Wilbur Fullerton, only set of twin athletes in the school, are having their fun fooling the teacherskas to their real identity. Watch out, He who laughs last, laughs best. Margaret Eck is having her bad breaks with Miss David' son, but Margaret shows her superiority in outftalking Miss Davidson. . MARCH 1926 A. D. Down in Room 109, Russ McBride, Hunk Mekovsky, and Johnny Sebis could be rightfully called the Three Musketeers because of their close assof ciation, but somehow Russ was enchanted by that feminine charm and broke away. In the same roo1n A1 Chestnut with Buck Riefer and others were always get' ting the inside dope concerning baseball, football, both in school and out. No wonder Billy Evans, Ralph Davis, and Knute Rockne got busy in writing out sports, fthey saw the pink slips coming which meant new men for their positions., APRIL 1926 A. D. Jack Watt is the crew's best artist and cartoonist. Flora Schott steps out and becomes a modern flapper. Is she a mean mama ? Ask some of her victims.

QQ CLASS or FEBRUARY 1928 QQ Loq of The S. S. Glivernii-1 from Februaru 1925 to Fc-:bruarq 1928 Cn a cold day in February, in the year of 1924, a brave crew of inexperienced and deathfdefying sailors settled in the colony of Irwinia. It was here, that with splendid cooperation, the crew proposed to build a large steamer and name it after their beloved idol, David B. Oliver' FEBRUARY 1925 A. D. A great throng of people were seen admiring a steamship bearing the letters, S. S. OLIVERNIA. Looking through a powerful telescope, tiny specs of people could be seen miles away crowding anxiously to catch a glimpse of the famous steamer. At last the LEVIATHAN had met its match. The steamer was inf deed, a product of beauty, being designed by such worldfknown artists as Ollie Golian, Honey', Anesin, Jack Watt, and Betty Stone. Pennants bearing the ship's motto On, Sail On could be seen fluttering in all directions. As the steamer was leaving port, enroute to the land of Graduation, strains of the Oliver Hymn could be heard. MARCH 1925 A .D. First red letter day arrives-Marjorie Clair, one of the finest members falso smartestj of our crew on board is appointed the first secretary of the Oliver High Students' Association. Waford Dailey, 'Llike father, like son, inherits from his dad the art of directing traffic in the halls. Watch your step, Superintendent Walsh, or you'll soon be looking in a newspaper column under the heading of L'Ma1e Help Wanted. ' APRIL 1925 A. D. Johnny Mulheizler and Bob Young are becoming close rivals with the famous Dodge Brothers in the matter of motors and machines. They gain their knowledge on this subject by their frequent tinkering with motors and other such paraphernalia. MAY 1925 A. D. ' Honey Anesin, in our estimation, is a fine example of a typical sailor. Besides being handsome, fas most sailors arej and having a girl in every port, Honey is a human ish, winning the highest award Qliver can offer, the letter HO . JUNE 1925 A. D. First big musical production- The Mikado -many Chinks contributed by the crew. The orchestra which did so nobly, was represented by Margaret Feigh. - ' JULY AND AUGUST 1925 A. D.

M cLAss OF FEBRUARY 1928 Lfifj MAY 1926 A. D. Butts Coneby, Babe Ruth's only dreaded rival, can be seen dressed in a Wagner Bear baseball suit as the sandlot baseball season opens. Somehow, I think his name is connected with that of Mr. Guttenburg fprobably some of the history students can identify Mr. Guttenburg to the readersj Mike Franzak's worf ries over his studies will cause his hair to turn gray before the time comes. You can see him studying every spare moment he has. By gum! he has the making of Abe Lincoln. JUNE 1926 A, D. Baseball again becomes the major sport of the time. Charm , Miller, gains a berth on the twirling staff, Johnny Fullerton also making the team. Almost a championship team. JULY - AUGUST 1926 A. D. Shore leave for two month.

Five husky brutes of the crew represent Olivernia in their participation in football. Duggar, Stevens, and Miller veterans, Russ McBride, a new brute, and Chizzy Seigman fstarring alreadyl.

Earl 'iRosy Erew is having his good times monkeyshining with Mr. Goetz, but finds out that Mr. Goetz is somewhat of an athlete pursuing Rosy through the auditorium. NOVEMBER 1926 A. D. Jane Stanger, alias Galli Curci, represents the steamer in many ways- Secretary of Sanitation--Hilarious harmonizer under the leadership of Miss Disay hAthlete-Smart and clever student, etc. We always wondered why Ollie Golian attracted many girls, but now we found out that he wears a different suit every day. He must be extravagant-Naw, his dad owns a tailor shop, and he just breaks in the customers' suits. DECEMBER 1926 A. D. just found out that Augusta McCord is a classic dancer. The Spanish Dance must be a humdinger when 'Gusta struts her stuff .
