Our environment was one of much variety, consisting mainly of railroad freight yards, synagogues, steel mills, and the majestic Monongahela. Vile endured many hardships in our attempt to absorb knowledge. More than once we were nine-tenths frozen while waiting for a number SO at the P. X L. E. Station on a wintry morningg and upon arriving at school, the remaining tenth went with the other nine, for the portables were as warm as toast in Alaska. If we happened to forget our lunches we dined at Kissel's, getting chicken soup made of boiling water with the fowl ten feet away. Summer rudely jerked us from the sublime to the ridiculous. After being thawed out, we were roasted nice and brown and then turned over and well season- ed with aromatic spirits of burnt horse Hesh, issuing from a soap factory only two blocks away. VV ith all this we were gaining an educatione-or were supposed to be doing so. Some of the marvelous events that occurred during our stay at this famous all-year resort will go down in World History. Among them, we find these: I.-Pittsburgh Railways Company lost 250 straps from their cars. II.-75,9S7.5M transfers were used more than once. III.-The Dinkey was removed because of rough treatment. IV.-We absorbed enough knowledge to become Sophomores. Since the process of alternate refrigeration and roasting had failed to stunt our brain growth the borough council decided to remove us to the half flnished Dormont High School to try further forms of experimentation: and after observ- ing our reactions when we were sitting on loose nails, were crowned with falling boards and plaster, and were standing through lack of seats, they suddenly took pity on us and provided the necessary equipment for an organized school life. Hence we were surviving. hoping, and being provided for in our Sophomore year. Being at this stage done and seasoned to a turn. we employed our perfectly timid bodies and brains with the task of making a reputation for the class. Con- sequently, all school projects were boosted. The result was that room 101 re- ceived as a prize the first work of art to hang over a conspicuous finger print. But such success was merely a stimulant to our aspirations. and soon we had a loving cup under our Caesaristic thumb. Along with reports and failing grades came vacation, and general relief was expressed that a few erasers and bookcase doors had survived our victori.ous spirits. However, we were juniors. and to give tangible form to our elevation. they stored the crowd on the third floor of a school without elevators. But be- 29 4...-......-. ------ i.-....... I' H E T 0 R C H ..-..-..-..-..-..-..-..-......-up cause we were a spirited group, neither storing nor steps could curb our demands for recognition, and our guardians finally came and led us, naive as we were, to the first school dance given for our benefit. The Faculty were surprised to find that a class who played ring around the rosy and consequences at a Weiner roast could wiggle a mean ankle on a dance fioor. Wiggling ankles , after our first attempt, became a Friday afternoon occurrence, opposed by many but boosted by a social committee who determined to pep it up. The junior division not only gave dandy Hallowe'en parties, dances, and weiner roasts, but often burnt the midnight oil absorbing Chemistry, a course whose educated name and red-haired instructor attracted scores to a year of toil, worry, explosions, acid-perforated garments, burnt skin, and queer grades. After winning a banner for talking the most Dormont people out of two dol- lars, and hanging over athletic field ropes to boost our class celebrities, we decided that the teachers and school owed the group a vacation, so we picked up our hats and left the building for july and August Cwhen Mr. Radcliffe gave us noticej. Seniors l Seniors ! Seniors l Absolutely! The Faculty finally managed to get us there without leaving any loose ends in the Junior year to further disturb the school. The class was do- nated to Miss Meyers and Mr. Herrington, who resignedly accepted the lot, but as Miss Meyers used too many school pencils tapping on her desk for the students' amusement she was deprived of her interesting charges, who were then turned over to Mrs. Karcher. just to show our helpful nature, we proceeded to elect the two report teachers as guardians, knowing full well that adjoining location and mutual sympathy would design a perfect advisory team. Our selections proved, however, too ambitious. prodding us into action on the most frivolous matters, such as Lecture Courses, and really not appreciating the liberality with which we permitted the underclass- men to win the prizes, Nevertheless, after a few weeks of training, the coun- selors did not disturb us needlessly, allowing us to study as befitted Seniors-until class picture time. It is to be noted that several beauty parlor madames purchased new limou- sines the week after O. C. Henry snapped the crow. The dancing waves had hardly vanished from the Senior damsels' heads when class play tryouts began. At this juncture, friends became enemies, and every- body beamed on Miss Blank, hoping to be noticed. Finally the decisions were made without the aid of the liberally scattered advice of the studentsg and the play production, final victory in debate, starting of baseball season, and commence- ment night welded the class together again, each one rooting for the graduating class of June, 1925, as the best ever, having both Quantity and Quality. MARGARET G. WEBB CHARLOTTA DIETZ GEORGE KEEFER l so -1'------------------------T H E T o R c H----------------- farewell .-..-ng. Our four years in high school have passed. We are bidding good-by to the place where we have spent many happy hours, the place where we built the foundations for our later life, Dormont,High School. Upon leaving, we wish to thank the teachers who have been so patient with us, those friends who have given their spare moments to help us in our work, who have shared our failures and our victories. We also wish to express our appreciation of the Principals of our school for their contributions to our success. To the greatest and most helpful persons in the world, Our Mothers, we wish to speak some words of appreciation. Since we- were small children in the first grades, you have never lost patience, you have never ceased to encourage, never finished sacrificing for our benefit and enjoyment. It was you, Mother, who showed pride and joy in our successful achievements. Or, in our failures, you were ever faithful, ready with your sympathy and encouragement. As we leave Dear Old Dormont High and' take up our future, we know you will still be near us, urging us on to higher goals. SELMA GRIFFITHS.

Senior Class-- At the End of the Roadf' JANE LoNG '25 SARA LoNG '25. 32 'Tis the year nineteen hundred and forty-three, .-Xnd Mrs. Karcher has just finished teag Uh! she wonders and memories revive, YYhat has happened to the class of june '25? How to find out! she can't even guess, She tries very hard nevertheless, .-Xt last she has it. to a seer she'll go, ,-Xnd to Mrs. Karcher the class he will show. Her hat and her coat put on not quite straight, She rushed down the street at a terrible rate. She Hew up some steps and knocked at a door, XYhich suddenly opened with a horrible 1'OZ1I'. She entered a cavern filled with perfume And found that the' cavern was only a room. She was told to be seated and sit very still, And in a very few moments the room would Hll XYith a hazy blue smoke which would soon clear away .Xnd leave the room as light as the day. Soon the smoke had all disappeared, .X curtain was drawn, and some figures were mirrored A-Xnd there before her astonished gaze She saw two people walk out of the haze. They passed ,cross the mirror side by side. For they no longer were able to ride. Poor Bill Mclinight had lost all his dough 4-Xnd now he lived in Poverty Row. XYhile Maury, his girl friend of old Dormont days, Still stood beside him and still sang 'his praise, For she had become a great opera star' A-Xnd was known as the second Jeritza afar. As soon as these two had both passed along, There came to her ears a beautiful song. .Xlong came Howard Herbert as happy as May, For he had become a troubador gay. Following him came Lillian Green, XYho high in the pulpit can always be seen Preaching new methods in moral education For the benefit of the young generation. Next on the scene came old Doc Schmitt, XYith Zelma, his! nurse, carrying his kit. Next came a hearse slowly down the street XYith Fish Herring sittin' on the seat. Now we see Ruth Smith a sweet chorus girl, 33 lin-:I p1up1uu1nn1nuinniunluulnini And Selma Griffiths high in the social whirl. Sara Long as Bob Fulton's wife, Has churned butter all her married life. Next Mrs. Karcher sees Charles Turnblacer, Who has now become famous through his electrical razor. Harold tall and Mildred thin, Strolled down the street to Wobble Inn . Jane, the basketball star, now is Lyon in wait, For the death of her rich husband who is only ninety-eight. Bill Gates a sailor, went sailing on the sea, While Henry Johns is at home with children on his knee. John McKee is now ringing up fares, While Eleanor Doeblin is home saying her prayers. Our little blondie, Alice Ryan, A For- her passionate lover, Banks, is cryin', While he has fallen for the charms of Anna Clatty, And she with his attentions is almost batty . Dick Heisler and Jack Holmes are always together, For they are the inventors of wearable shoe leather. Dot Davis and Kay Bainbridge are successful as can be, For they have written a play called The Sting of the Bee' The heroine of the play is Margaret Webb., Who married the grandson of Rudolph Nebb. What do you suppose our Taylor's become? He's running an asylum for the care oft the' Dumb. In the halls of Congress we find Ward Ewalt, Securing a patent for his new tasteless salt. Now Mrs. Karcher hears Alice McAfee, Who is the Sunshine Girl at WCAE. Here's Emma junge teaching school, And Leslie Hayden driving a mule. We find George Keefer writing a book, With Lottie' Dietz, his wife, playing the cook. There's Martha Ackleson an old maid seamstress. Making Jean Goehring her second wedding dress. In a store Paul Rankin's selling meat, As in staggers Timothy, his nose like a beet. Now we see Marg Campbell sitting at home. For no longer to wild dances does she roam. Since Eleanor Arbuthnot has become a gay coquette. Her hubbie, Chuck Darner, wrote a book on etiquette. Ruth Davies is now sweet as a rose, For she for the artists always will pose. Now here comes Cowboy Bakerg He has become a renowned pill-maker. Next we see our heart-breaker, Jim Young, On the movie ladder of fame he's on the top rung. Here's sweet little Phoebe Homer, Of the boat Homer Smith she's now owner. George Woessner who was formerly a great physicist. Is now a very brutal pugilist. Dorothy Rahenkamp is a writer of songs, While John Kelly is working with ice tongs. Bill Wilkenson's a clown in a circus cutting capers, While Bob Walters stands on the corner selling papers. Lloyd Williams has a school for babies, 34 T H E T o R c H -----------------------r .Q PPPJ .....- -..-.-..-..-..T H E T O R C H,.1---. -........................- While Alice Richey is making gloves for ladies. Donald James is now a widely known card sharp. And George Doyle has become an artist on the harp. Now Timmy Sincock's principal of Dormont High, And Lynn Kirkpatrick has become anti-dry. Lee -Iohnson's now a radio expert, Flossie McKee's the world's greatest flirt. The owner of the Delton is now George Dorman, While Fred Johnston has become a Mormon. At the Mayer Field Ed O'Donnell is now a flyer, While for Kaufmann's Melvin Strandell is a buyer. Dutch Bantly has become one of our best coaches, Carl Ivarson's invented a powder for roaches. Emil Sposato keeps house for his mag Hazel Washabaugh's become an attorney at law. Across the mirror they all did pass, The sixty-six members of the '25 class. Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door, And again it opened with a horrible roar, Mr. Karcher walked quickly into the room, Which was still filled with a lotta perfume. He grabbed Mrs. Karcher swiftly by the hand, And said, Now you come right out on firm land. I've come to show you our new home on the lake, Don't you know this old fellow is only a fake ? So Mrs. Karcher left wondering if she would survive, After seeing the fate of the class of June '25. ELEANOR ARBUTHNOT LILLIAN GREEN SARA LONG JAMES YOUNG TAYLOR SALSGIVER MARGARET CAMPBELL JANE LYON ELEANOR DOEBLIN MILDRED MONINGER, CHAIRMAN. THAT HU'DSON I A Hudson is driven by a girl in our class, And, to tell you the truth, she was quite a fat lass, But now she's reduced, and we're all very glad, For according to Hoyle, weight isn't the fad. II But the tale of the Hudson let us resume, For 'tis quite unusual, we all presume, That a girl who can argue like our dear friend, Peg, Can't make her car go, howe'er she may beg. III The car goes like lightning down Connecticut Hill, But to get up again requires more than Peg's skill. To get out of her home away down in the gorge, This very skilful, QFD driver needs must call George. 35 'i'1ijq -l------------ ----- -H--'T H E T o R c H ----- ---- --------------s IV George Keefer, we mean, of some Chrysler fame, Who out of trouble has helped many a dame. So when Peg's car on the hill gets stuck, George helps her out,of her terrible luck.

LONG SENIOR PROM It is the custom at Dormont High School for the Senior B class to give the Senior ,X class a l'romenade to which are invited the alumni, seniors and their friends. as well as the faculty of the school. This year the Prom was held as near the holidays as possible, so that the alumni, who are home for the holidays, could attend. The result was a splendid crowd of happy young people. about three hundred strong. The committee in charge: Ruth Smith, Maury Nixon, l.arry Braden. Mildred Moninger and Robert Timothy, had planned a wonderful evening. The decorations were carried out in, Christmas colors. On the stage with the orchestra was a handsomely decorated Christmas tree, illuminated with variously colored electric lights. The Greenwich Village Serenaders , a seven-piece orchestra, furnished the music which pleased the assemblage, judging by the hearty applause to which the former responded with generous encores., Many of the faculty were in attendance. Mr. Radcliffe, Miss llurton and Mr. Agnew, advisors of the Senior li class. Miss K, Mcliinney, and Mr. Dicker- hoff, guardians of the Senior A class, Miss Blank, Miss Love, Mr. Carson, Miss VVertz, Miss Stevenson, Miss lioenig, Mrs. Richards, Miss Dorsey, Miss Gould, Miss lilack, Miss F. McKinney, Miss Sanner and Mrs. Karcher. At the conclusion of the fifth dance the throng formed in a Grand March lead by Arthurl XVessel, president of the Senior A class and Mildred Moninger. After the last couple had formed in line Santa Claus appeared and presented the young ladies with dainty favors in the form of silver Indian bracelets. The programs had silver covers with maroon pencils tied with silk maroon cords, which gave them a place in the color scheme. The blaze of color furnished by the gorgeous gowns, the wonderful music. the decorations and the happy dancing couples completed an evening that will long be remembered by the young people of Dormont.

It's a lie! Mrs, john Holmes, formerly Miss Alice Richey, the noted leading lady of the Scandals , became so hyster- ical while her husband was testifying against her that she broke down completely, and it was necessary to adjourn court. Mr. Holmes claims that his wife persistently cheated when she played sol- itaire, and he being a virtu- ous man, couldn't live wi-th such a woman. This divorce scandal has become of inter- national concern due to the fact that Mr, Holmes has just been appointed pork inspector to jerusalem, ......-..-..

GIRLS ADVISED Miss Martha Ackleson, the oldest woman living today, gives her formula for attain- ing old age, It is very sim- ple , she says, Keep late hours, smoke incessantly, espe- cially cigars, Don't drink wa- ter-drink moonshine, This has aided me in retaining my school-girl complexion, my perfect form, and my fascina- ting personality HEALTH ADVICE A man may retain his girl- ish figure by running twenty miles before breakfast, eating nothing 'till noon, at which time he should refrain from partaking of anything, and fasting un-til dinner. Then he should say he is not hungry, eating nothing, This is a sure cure for overeating and in- digestion. Dieting is also a good way to keep a perfect figure.

The foothall team was not using a systematic or cooperative attack. In- dividualism was the main characteristic, and as a result, no effective attack could he launched. ln the case of the engine, live parts were working in unison. while one was laying down on the jolt.

Ft'1.ToN. 58 A , THE LAST ACT Urmmencenu-nt was in lull swing at the midwestern college of XYinlield. The class play was rapidly drawing to a conclusion before a packed and sympa- thetic house. The stage was at present occupied by the leading lady alone, who sill in gloomy meditation before the tire wondering why the hero no longer seem- ed to care. ln the left wing the hero waited nervously with the charming little ingenue for their respective cues. lsu't Nell a perfect darling in that frock bubbled the iugenne. Imagine ze, mere man being able to resist her. No answer from the hero, whereupon Sally. the ingenue, turned to see him glowering at nothing and muttering something that sounded like, l'l'll do it, if it's the last- llere, hlimmy, what's the matter? Haven't got stage fright, have yon? gasped Sally. hlimmy started, looked sheepish, but only answered in an odd voice, Next thing to it, and turned on his heel to pace up and down in the narrow space. Hell, of all things, hllllllllyln said Sally, but just then she heard her cue and tripped, laughing, onto the stage. The play swept on to its climax. The hero and heroine were alone at last. Clue look into her eyes and then he had her in his arms kissing her with a thorough- ness that brought a delighted, Uh, boy! from an irrespressible Freshman in the gallery. Un the stage lilinor Macey began to speak with a little gasp. XYhyv but cjuickly changed to a coquettish, Uh, john, this is so sudden! which the mem- bers of the caste all recognized as her proper line. The play finished in a blaze of glory for the actors of a night. who responded to several curtain calls. ll'ith the final fall of the curtain a buzz of comment arose from the various groups gathered back of the scenes. Did you see that 7' XX'asn't old -limmy great P He was rather stiti during rehearsal, but he surely did make tip for it tonight. lilinor, in the midst of a group of admirers, was able to observe without the slightest appearance of doing so, that ,limmy in the midst of a similar group was allowing his eyes to stray somewhat anxiously in her direction. llowever, she went gaily oti' with llob Hendley, who was to take her to the little supper which was being given by the College Dramatic Clubs to the members of the caste. llriving over, llob thought her rather silent. He began to discuss the play. That last act surely was great, lfliuorf' Good heavens, Nob! she said irritably, don't talk about that play. l've heard so much about it for the last six weeks that Tilll sick and tired of it l The truth is lilinor was thinking more that she wanted to about the last act. XYhy was it that after they had practised the stage kiss for weeks he had given her a real one? lilinor was looking especially beautiful in a gown which seemed to be all 50 +------ ------- -1---iT H E T o R c H '----- ---------------------+ lovely moving lights of pink and lavender. Her cheeks were flushed with excite- ment. She was full of vivacity and easily the most attractive girl in the room. Jimmy, too, was looking more attractive even than usual. Tall and well built, he was wont to attract attention anywhere. Some people thought him a trifle cold looking, but no one could justly call him that to-night. There was about him an air of suppressed excitement and a gleam in his eye that had caused more than one visiting father to inquire as to who he might be and to remark, He looks like a fellow who would go far. Elinor Macey had never been thrown much into Jimmy Carter's company until class play rehearsals had begun. Naturally they had met at various class and club affairs but their circles were rather far apart. Jimmy had made his way through school and had the reputation of being a very clever young man who al- ways succeeded in accomplishing whatever he set out to do. He was generally admired and pointed out as one of the most brilliant men in college. Elinor's honors, on the other hand, were altogether social, as she cared very little about distinguishing herself in her classes. However, she and jimmy had seemed to find a surprising amount of things in common when they had a few moments to- gether at rehearsals. To-night Jimmy did not once approach her. The seating at the supper was informal and chance placed them rather far apart. Afterwards he seemed noth- ing loath when a certain group made him their center. Elinor, as usual, had no lack of attention. The next evening was the Phi Kappa Psi dance to which Elinor was as usually escorted by Bob Hendley. jimmy was a member of the same fraternity and Elinor speculated a little nervously over whether he would ask for a dance. She saw him as soon as they entered, bendingyover a bewitching little blonde with whom he seemed entirely engrossed. Elinor was immediately surrounded and her card was Hlling rapidly when a familiar voice over her shoulder said, Don't tell me you haven't saved a waltz for me, and her card was taken and she saw Jimmy's initials scribbled where someone else's had been a moment before. The last waltz, remember, and again she fancied she saw in his eyes the gleam of the night before. , Elinor, as always, was self-possessed and cool, but Jimmy's watching eyes detected a slightly heightened color in the charming face as her partner claimed her,rand her partner, who happened to be Bob, found her an unusually dull com- pamon. Dance followed dance in rapid succession, and at length it was time for Jim- rny's waltz. Elinor found him a surprisingly good dancer and could not help admiring the deftness with which he guided her to a door and stepped unob- trusively through it. He caught up a wrap which surprisingly appeared on a near- by seat, threw it across her shoulders and with a masterful Come , drew her hand through his arm and led her down a path under the trees where the moon- light filtered through the leaves. There his masterfulness seemed to fail him. He glanced nervously at Elinor once or twice and tried to speak but seemed to choke on it. Elinor, for one so socially gifted, was strangely silent and did nothing to help him out. Suddenly out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of her upturned face, exquisite in the moonlight, and stopped short, catching both her hands in his. Elinor, forgive me , he said, I knew you were engaged to Bob Hendley and I was a cad, but I decided I'd have that one kiss if the world came to an end. Elinor's longi lashes had veiled her eyes as soon as he began to speak. But at his second imploring Elinor they lifted slowly and he saw the lovely eyes shining on him and heard incredulously, There's nothing really to forgive and I'm not engaged to Bob. No , interrupted Jimmy firmly, proving himself the man of action he was reputed to be, you're engaged to me! And he duplicated the kiss he had stolen at the end of the last act.

He had not chosen his own special class-no, his mother had done that long before he was old enough to make his wishes known, and consequently he was a most prosaic, egotisti- cal and perfect creature. He was a combination of the appearance of the so-called student of higher studies, the brain of a sixty-year old philosopher, and the ideas of two or three generations before his own. Those who knew the Potses before they moved to New York say that little Mendelssohn, long ago, had an enjoyable sense of humor, which he inherited from his father. Then eventually, the family found itself wealthier by several thousands, and this, added to their present many thousands, made a number of millions. So it was that Mama Pots informed the family that they were going to New York and that little Mendelssohn, then young and helpless, was to receive a cultural education. And, likewise, so it was that little Mendelssohn's enjoy- able sense of humor was squelched before it had time to do any harm. Sister Cornelia Pots agreed with Mama Pots that the son of the family was a most incorrigable child and that his unruly tendencies should be curbed imme- diately. So little Mendelssohn was sent to an exclusive boys' school. There he learned that it was quite ungentlemanly to speak before spoken to and that to snicker-let alone to laugh uproariously-when a corpulent old gentleman came suddenly and forcefully in contact with the sidewalk through the medium of a banana peeling, was extremely unmannerly. When Mendelssohn came home at the Easter vacation, Mama and Sister were quite pleased with the progress he had made, and Mama proclaimed long and loudly to her various visitors that there was a no more gentemanly little man for his age than her darling son. Sister also let it be known that her little brother no longer designated as her kid brother was developing some very admirable qualities. Mendelssohn went thru college as perfectly as he had gone thru preparatory school and was ultimately graduated as Mr. I. Mendelssohn Pot. By this time he had surpassed even his mother's hopeful expectations in becoming the model young man. Had anyone dared mention his childish pranks to Mr. Pots, he would have brought that worthy gentleman's wrath upon his head in all its force. Old Peter Murphy, the station master of the Pots' home town, and in New York for a long hoped-for journey, had done so and had suffered consequently. Mr. Pots determined to make use of his special journalistic training and enter the literary world thru the medium of the newspaper. Despite his fond mother s emphatic protests and his sister's more emphatic threats, his new England spirit of independence, also inherited from his father, stood rigorous and so, with the I, Mendelssohn Pots look written over his countenance, he confidently ascended the steps, one morning, of the offices of the New York Herald . A great many words and explanations were needed to impress the doubtful editor of his importance, but in due time he was installed as a reporter. His first assignment was an interview with an eminent naturalist concern- ing his recently completed collection of butterflies. Mr. Pots' report, when hand- ed in, was so overburdened with lengthy words that even the wise editor required the frequent use of the dictionary while reading it. Mr. Pots, he decided, would do better reading proof. However, he thought the report too amusing to keep to himself, so it was circulated among other members of the staff and. con- sequently, found its way into the hands of some of the proof readers. The un- fortunate author was immediately dubbed Madame Butterfly , which he found out to his discomhture a few days later. Hi, there, Madame Butterfly ! one of the men at the table called, How- Mr. Pots, who had just entered, slew the man with a glare and, after a n1oment's 61 4..-...-........-....-.,.....,..-..-.,..-...-.T H E T O R C H r.-.......-.r...r-...r-....-......-.......g. pause, responded in tones which lowered the temperature of the room consid- erably, . Mr. Pots, please. Oh- er- good morning, Mr. Pots. The other concealed a half amused, half humiliated grin and turned to his work. The Pots residence was not so far from the business section of the city that the erring son needed to find lodgings in the city in order to reach the office on time in the morning. So each day when only the sleepy maid and the sleepier cook were awake, Mr. Pots rushed thru a lonesome breakfast and dashed madly down the street to catch the six-fifteen train. Then all day he poured over the proof, stopping only to rush twice as fast as he did to the train to eat a luncheon twice as fast as he did breakfast. Now, all learned physicians will agree that this life of rushing from morn 'till night was not the thing to develop Mr. Pots into a Herculean wonder. Even our grandmothers say that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy , so a doctor was not required to predict that some day Mr. Pot's mental energy would snap under this speedy routine. And snap it did, for one evening Mr. Pots failed to appear at dinner. The family, assuming that something important-for how could it be other- wise-had detained him, ate dinner and departed for the theater. When they re- turned home and discovered that Mendelssohn had not come. Father Pots called up the office of the Herald and was informed that the conscientious proof reader had not been seen since the day before. Mama Pots promptly went into hysterics and Father Pots followed the usual proceedings in searching for a lost son. When no young man answering the description of the vanished son and brother appeared at the palatial Pots residence, the family settled into a period of anxious waiting. Meanwhile let us follow Mr. Pots himself. He had rushed downstairs that morning, rushed thru his breakfast, rushed for the train and then, emerging from the subway, started to rush for the office quite as usual. But before he was through rushing, Fate held up her hand and Mr. Pots stopped rushing-stopped quite suddenly and involuntarily. . In his wild precipitation across the street, he had failed to see the street car rounding the corner. Perhaps his mad Hight saved him though, for only the side of the car struck him, that nevertheless, his head hit the pavement quite violently as he fell. For some moments he was slightly dazed and anxious pedestrians in- quired if he were hurt. - Oh, no, nog not at all. Thank you, he added as a grinning newsboy hand- ed him his crushed and dusty hat. Jamming it on his head, he resumed his way across the street. There he stopped quite as suddenly as he had when the car appeared. Before his memory hung a black veil-a veil as black asr the darkest starless night. He tried to brush the mist away but his hand passed thru it with ghostly ease. He tnak off his hat to wipe the beads of perspiration from his brow. Someone jostled against him and he wondered why his ribs responded with such an acute tingle of pain. Nothing around him did he recognize. He could think only in terms of the presentg for him no past existed. Yes, Mr. Pots' mental energy had snapped and had snapped with a resounding crack. Where he was going, where he was, who he was. what had happened, he did not know. He saw that people were looking at him curiously, so he replaced his hat and walked on. Eventually he came to the outskirts of the city and, having no reason to turn back, he kept on. That night and the one following were spent on some damp hay in a deserted barn. His clothes lost their freshness and, finding his top coat too troublesome to wear, he rolled it up for a pillow and donned an old moth-eaten article which he found in the corner of the barn., On the morning of the second day, he was given some food at a nearby farm- 62 4..-..-.....-............-........'T H E T 0 R C H ....-..-...-..-..-.......-...-......g. house, but when he went back the next day, he was emphatically told to leave and was even helped to the gate by the kind, though irate, farmer. A well-meaning tourist drove him as far as the next town and thus, by auto- mobile, railroad and river boat, he gradually worked his way to Albany and one dreary, rainy morning found himself in that city. He resembled Mr. Pots, the proof reader, as much as an African and a China- man resemble each other. His eyes had a vacant, glassy stare. His cheeks were hollow and his forehead li-ned. He had grown a pale, stubby beard and his light hair was almost ebonized by soot which seeped down onto his face. He was wan and emaciated and his clothes were decidedly much the worse for the wear. As he stepped off the steamer, a sheet of rain gave him a watery welcome to the city. The water dripped from his hat brim and made tiny rivulets thru the grime on his face and his clothes hung from hi.s thin, disconsolately drooping shoulders like sodden rags. He slouched up the street from the wharf and, having developed the sense of the direction of the city park as have all members of his newly adopted class, soon arrived thence. The place was deserted by all except a few bedraggled brown sparrows who hopped about and chirped pitifully in the wet grass. Mr. Pots sat down on a bench and stared at them. Verily, they seemed beggars of the bird world as he was of the human world. Then, suddenly, the sun shone forth with a brilliance made greater by the preceding gray atmosphere, and changed the grasses from miserable, damp crea- tures to little queens with jewelled crown. The birds raised their heads, gave an encouraging chirp and were off in a flutter of raindrops. Mr. Pots idly watched them. until they were out of sight and then their spirit probably affected his for he, too, raised his head, squared his shoulders and saunt- ered down the park walk. He had at last realized that he must do something to keep alive, for the few dollars which he had found in his pockets had been spent. The sight of a passing newsboy reminded him of the Help-wanted column in the daily paper, so he retraced his steps to the bench and picked up a wet paper he found there. Another impoverished man came and sat beside him, and picked up the part of the paper which Mr. Pots had laid down. Wisl1 I had that there money, buddy , he remarked, pounding the paper with the back of his huge hand. VVhat is it ? asked Mr. Pots. Read it fer yerselff' The other obligingly handed him the article, and. slouching down on the bench, gazed at the sky while he waited for Mr. Pots to wish that he, too, had the money. Millionaire's Son Feared to Have Met With Foul Play, he read. All Searches Prove Futilef' Mr. Pots read the article and as he gazed at the accom- panying photograph, he was tempted to say, Doesn't that look like me ? Eh? VVhat. buddy P asked his companion coming back to earth. I say, doesn't that look like me ? The other gazed at him for a moment and burst into a peel of laughter. VVhv, bo, he said, sarcastically, you don't look like that there sissy. Mr. Pots glanced again at the name beneath the picture and then sat up with a jerk. Somewhere he had seen that name-where? Oh, yes. He pulled a card from his pocket, compared the two names and relapsed into deep thought. Suddenly, the black veil before his memory seemed to become material and in a twinkling it had lifted. As his memory returned, he studied each phase of his past life carefully. After a few moments of profound contemplation, a cer- tain bit of humor was revealed to Mr. Pots and he began to laugh. He remembered how he had scolded Peter Murphy and laughed harder. He remembered Madame Butterfly and laughed still harder. Numerous details 63 -1----------------------------T 1-1 E T o R c Hi--------1-----'-------------ul' and incidents came crowding upon him and, though each were serious enough, he laughed until his sides ached and the man beside him ironically remarked that he believed the state sanitorium had room for one more. Old Peter would have been very much at home had this person in beggars apparel who sat on a park bench in the rain and laughed, greeted him instead of the debonair young man he had actually seen. Mr, I. Mendelssohn Pots had disappeared, not only from New York, but from the universe and the young man who took his place was the Mendelssohn Pots who should have existed ever since the Potses came to New York. It was another case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with the exception that Dr. Jekyll did not know of his dual personality, and Mr. Hyde, though not created by Dr Jekyll himself, was strong enough to monopolize this young man for twenty-four years. LUCRETIA C. WHALEN. VACATION Soon will the reign of the pedagogue end, Soon will the days' of vacation descend Antonym, synonym, trochee and rhyme Soon will withdraw for the good summer time.

Nothing unusual will mark this event So far as its actual hap'ning is meant. In 'the days of the Pilgrims, vacations were old , And were welcomed as fondly As now, we are told But oh, what a difference there is in the way Vacations were spent long ago, and today.

THE INVENTION OF ROUGE Mrs. Tiger Claw sat on a rock in her cave, a perfect beauty, with her big, flat nose, her enormous feet, her front teeth missing, and her hair still showing the results of her last quarrel with her hushand. As she sat in her boudoir pull- ing her teeth and gnashing her hair, QI mean pulling her hair and gnashing her teeth,j she could be heard moaning over and over Tzkchgdhpt! Oh Aeionzyz ! which translated into modern Egyptian, means What in the world shall I do P Gentle reader, that's where we get our modern song What'll I do P As she sat there, her husband, the Hon. Mr. Tiger Claw, Esq., entered the cave. In his hands was a large berry bush with which he was scratching his back. Get out of the way before I sock you onef' he cried playfullly punching her in the face. Mrs. Tiger Claw looked up delightedly. Seeing that her husband was in an exceptionally amiable mood, she told him of her troubles. I have been invited to Mrs. Snubnose's party, and dear me, Cshe was very egotisticalj I haven't a thing to wear, and with this she again burst into tears. What's the matter with that Znkdgtzplgs skin I got you last winter? You know the greenish lemon one. Oh, I wore that at our sewing circle last November. And how about the Pdgselfobrsvp skin I hooked from Hair Lip P Oh, that's out of date. ' And so Mr. Tiger Claw called his wife's wardrobe roll, as it were, and for each dress she had a different reason for discarding it. Finally, in disgust, Mr. Tiger Claw exclaimed, Oh, dry up! and he threw the berry bush in'his wife's physiognomy, the juice spattering all over her. Gee, that's the berries! she exclaimed. I know what I'll do, she declared, I'll rub this stuff on my face, and you hook Mrs. Tin Ear's dress from her clothes line and I'll go to the party. Hoop-ee ! Suiting the action to the word, she did! as she had promised. That evening she was the belle of the village and from then on, all the women put the stuff on their faces when they go out. And this, my patient readers, is the secret of the origin of that invaluable aid to womens' toilet-Rouge.

She can hardly be surpassed in her line of work. She has a very attractive personality and is loved by both the faculty and the student body. We are not yet very well acquainted with Miss Jones, but she has demon- strated her ability to do several things well. She is equally at home teaching a Biology class,operating a typewriter, or assisting our librarian. Miss Campbell was unfortunate enough to contract scarlet fever during the second semester. She was absent for some time but we are glad to say that she is again with us taking charge of her Latin classes. The teacher that possesses a mystical power over the pupils who persist in loafing around the halls, is Miss Suckling. When she is on hall duty the halls are clean Something unusual. Miss De Normandie is one of our shining lights. She has a charming disposition and is a true friend to all. All of her English classes admire her cleverness and ingenuity. Yes-we have a music teacher, very small, but we always manage to find lxer. Miss Sanner takes great pride in the Shubert Club and Orchestra as they are examples of her fine musical ability. The teacher most noted for keeping in after school our bad little Freshies who insist on talking to their neighbors, is Miss Ridenour. She is one who always greets you with the kind tidings of the clay. We have a new assistant principal at D. H. S. His work so far has been a great success and we. the pupils of Dormont High, hope that he will continue in the same manner and help to' bring our school to the top. Mr. Carson always treats us fairly and is willing to see our point of view. In our Sewing classes Miss Nolin takes great care. She teaches us how io dress and what to wear. Some of Miss Nolin's original ideas are shown in the operetta costumes, which she so cleverly designs. Miss Meyers is the -Iunior's favorite English teacher. She is extremely fond of book reports, but we forgive her as she is always so willing to help us with any work. One of the most systematic members of our faculty is Miss Nebinger. She is very quiet. but thoughtful of others. Miss Nebinger is loved by the Girl Re- serve over whom she acts as guardian. Miss Cook is our art teacher. She is highly appreciated by all of the pu- pils of D. H. S. for the clever work she turns out for the Torch. What would our book be without her? Mr. Dickerhoff, a new comer to D. H. S. this year, is a graduate of Penn State. He came from Lewistown High School, where he assisted in athleticsain addition to teaching physics. Along with his coaching of the wrestling team, he won the Western Pennsylvania Wrestling Championship in his weight. On his arrival here he continued his athletic work, earning the place of forward on the faculty basketball team. Way down in the basement of our building we always hear the buzzing of the saws and the pounding of the hammers, then we know Mr. Crawford is around. He makes things hum in the Manual T raining Department. Miss Blank is the much feared f ?j member of our faculty, because she asks so many questions regarding early dismissals and absences from classes. She knows how to coach a class play, too. The talent of Miss McLain is not confined to mathematics. Anyone who lsas watched her manage a lyceum course knows she is one of our most capable teachers. Anyone who was present the night our debating team defeated Aspinwall could see one more proof of Miss Lorraine's ability in training our students as public speakers. She teaches, also, both Spanish and French. Miss K. McKinney is always in a hurry. She is a born mathematician and 67 +---- -------- M--iT H E T o R c H M--I -------- H--M-a. she knows the short methods of solving difficult problems. Miss McKinney makes things hum in Student Council , or in anything with which she is connected. Mr. Affnew is ffoinf to liuroxe this summer.

Bryan on Girls and Boys . The rest of the afternoon was free to swim, dance, play tennis, or go motoring. lint the biggest event of the conference was yet to come-the banquet held at the Cnited l'resbyterian Church and served by the girls' mothers. The decorations were balloons, all colors, blown up in ditiferent shapes and sizes. These were tied in large bunches around the room with ribbons. It did resem- ble the rainbow which we were so often reminded of. After the banquet we had toasts conducted by Dorothy Davis, toastmistress. The speaker of the evening was Mrs. Howard M.

The Senior A English classes have separated into a number of special groups, each working on play and story writing, salesmanship, business corres- pondence, or journalism. The journalistic section has studied methods of ed- iting a school paper. Because Dormont High School is so young and is not as yet able to publish and finance both a magazine and a school paper, this group was obliged to find another means of puttting its knowledge into actual use. The way was found through the Liberty Ledger. One entire page has been given over to the journalism class, without any financial obligation on the part of the school. This page represents a regular school paper, with its name, staff and editorials. It is divided into sections under which the diiterent activities are taken care of. All school news will be printed as soon as possible after occurrence. Mr. Her- rington, the English teacher, is the faculty advisor. The staff is as follows: Editor, Ward Ewalt, Charles Turnblacerg General News, Charles Dorning, Paul Ranking Clubsg Florence McKee, Mildred Moningerg Features, Dorothy Rahen- kamp, George Keeferg Senior News, Alice Richey, Sara Long, and Sports, John Holmes, Wm. Wilkenson, john Kelley. On a table in the hall on the first floor, on Friday and Monday, the Ledger is sold, and the money made is used for cuts. All the staff members are graduating in the June class, but we hope that we have aroused enough interest in this journalism section to keep 'it going next year. It is not only very beneficial and educational, but is also very interesting work. It is of great value to the school, as it arouses school spirit and draws the attention of the public to Dormont High School. THE GIRL RESERVE COLONIAL TEA In February a colonial Tea was given by the Girl Reseryes. It was a very prettily arranged affair and the guests fthe mothers and facultyj declared them- selves much delighted with it. They all seemed interested in the organization, and thoroughly enjoyed the program. This began with two vocal solos by Donna Rominger. The second number was a series of living pictures, all based on the Colonial period. Six girls, three of them dainty, old handsome maids, and three of them handsome cavaliers, danced a minuet. After the program was completed, tea and cakes were served. Music was furnished thereafter by sev- eral of the girls and the afternoon was linished with a dance. The parents and teachers seemed reluctant to go--we hope they enjoyed themselves as well as they declared they did. ' BETTY BAKER. 70 .l..... ,... -........t-.,.-..-..,.. .,.. .- .... - ,...

EL CIRCULO CASTELLANO 'l'lu'ee years ago there was organized in the Dormont High School a Spanish cluh, called lil Circulo Castellano . Today it is a promising young cluh, well known to our advanced Spanish students. .Xt the heginning of each semester. the memhers of the cluh elect their officers for the next five months. Those elected for the s n'inff term of 1925 are: Anita Giuliani, Jl'CSlllCIll' Larl lXlSSlllll , VICC-Jl'CS1KlClllQ l'lll6llC Xkalker, secretary: a , . I 3 . . . I Oliver Lockhart. treasurer' Wnnfred lieach, chairman ot the Jroffrani comnuttecg - a 1 , . I rs and Vk1ll1ll.ITl hates. chairman of the social committee. The aims of the cluh are to give to its memhers a hetter knowledge of Spanish customs, history, and music, and to make of them fluent speakers of the Spanish language. The few meetings of the cluh held this semester already, point toward the fulfillment of these purposes. .kNl'l'A fil'll,IANI. INITIATION DINNERS Due to the fact that first impressions greatly influence individual's opinions. the Girl Reserve cluh estahlished the custom of serving an initiation dinner. livery applicant for Girl Reserve memhership is initiated in the heautiful, tra- ditional manner. which portrays to the incoming group the ideals and aims of the organization. liefore the actual service takes place an appetizing dinner is served, which is eaten hy candlelight and livened hy the girls' songs. .Xt various times through- out the dinner, interesting talks are given hy olticials from the Y. XY. C. .-X. or other cluhs. The organization has conducted two initiation dinners this year, one was held in the llormont liaptist Church and was managed hy the Social committee. The last was held in the High School sewing room and handled hy a committee. The dinner and ceremony are enjoyed, hoth hy old memhers and new mem- hers, and the girls feel that the pleasure and inspiration will help them to he hetter memhers. 71 +----'i--- -- ------ i- T H E T o R C H ------ - ------H+ DORMONT SCORES IN INTERNATIONAL CONTESTS XYhen the llehating Clulm lirst met this year. the main topic for cliscussion was.

It is an additional feather in Dormont's cap that for this last, and consequently hardest debate her team chang- ed to the opposite side for the first time and supported the negative. The lecture hall was filled with enthusiastic students from both schools. Some preliminary cheering from each school keyed every one up to a high degree of anticipation. The first speeches firmly established the points of each team. Dormont rested its case on two issuesg First, that independence would be unjust to the best inter- ests of the Philippines and- second that the Philippines had not fulfilled the con- ditions established by the Jones Bill. The Aspinwall team replied that our present policy was contrary to American principles of democracy, that a stable government had been established and that all conditions were fulfilled. The rebuttal speeches, the real tests of debating, were without a doubt favorable to Dormont. For the first time. in the championship debate, Dormont received a unanimous decision. Much credit is due Miss Lorraine and Mr. Herrington, who were tireless in their effort to do their part toward making the team a success. The team was aided by Mr. Radcliffe, Mrs. Karcher, Miss Love of the History department. and by several other teachers, who from time to time gave valuable 'advice and as- sistance. Alice McAfee and John Metz, in addition to winning the county champion- ship for their high school, received gold medals and a four-year scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh. A silver cup will be presented to the school. RUTH Cooke. THE LYCEUM COURSE ' All who attended the Lyceum Course this year feel that it was a great success. The splendid efforts of the teachers and students and the careful choice of opprop- riate numbers for the course contributed to this success. The entire course was enjoyed by everyone, whether musician, literary person, sportsman, student or baseball fan. Each performance was worthwhile. The first number was presented by the National Male Quartet, a group of experienced and trained singers. They sang remarkably well, various types of songs including several original compositions. Their program, however, was not limited to music alone. One of the performers impersonated grotesque figures of history. This pleased the children. Everyone agreed that this number was of rare musical value. The second number of the course no one could help but enjoy. All children like to see a play. Grown people were children once too. They still are, for they laughed 'till their sides ached when they saw, It pays to Advertise. We all agreed when we left the auditorium that night that advertising is a good thing after all. A On the evening of the third lecture course number, the auditorium was lilled with eager. expectant men and boys. This display of enthusiasm was due to the speaker. He was Branch Rickey. Mr. Rickey's talk was one of the best that anyone has been permitted to hear in a long time. He compared the game of baseball to life and business, in which all rules of honesty, justice, and fair play hold true. Mr. Rickey stressed forcibly the fact that what the public wants to-day, and what the public must have is clean baseball. The men and boys were not disappointed in Mr. Rickey or his talk. After hearing him, the women are beginning to think that there may be something to the game of baseball. Mr. Everett Kemp presented the fourth number of the Lyceum Course. 73 ' 4l'1ll-l'1ll-ll1ll--I-In-In-In-nfT H E T O R C H .--..1..-.ti-.I-..--.1..1..-u-nl. It was widely known that Mr. Kemp was famous for his million-dollar laugh. When, in the first part of his program, Mr. Kemp told several short stories, we certainly got a million dollars worth of enjoyment from his laugh. Mr. Kemp then presented a reading The Printer of Udell, adopted from Harold Bell Wright's novel by the same title. The audience was very pleased with Mr. Kemp's reading. The Betty Booth Concert Company furnished the concluding number of the Lyceum Course. During the first part of the evening Miss Booth sang. in a very unique way, numerous songs. She was accompanied by the pianist and sometimes by the violinist. In the latter part of the evening the company pre- sented a little play, in which. they undertook to portray a portion of the life of Franz Schubert. ELIZABETH M. PALEN. DORMONT'S TOUR OF WASHINGTON On Wednesday, April 8, a score of Dormont High students left for a vaca- tion trip to our country's historic capital. They were accompained to the Balti- more and Ohio station by their parents and friends. Among the tourists on the special train was Claudia Hazlett, a local student, who was traveling with the Tele capital prize winners. Many other schools in this district were represented on the train among which were Peabody, Westing- house and Langley. Dinner was served on the train but some of the travelers, especially Beulah Poole, experienced difficulty in enjoying the meal because of the shower of cin- ders that is so common to dining cars, On arriving in Washington the group detrained in the Famous Union station where they were met by busses and taken to the National Hotel, on Pennsylvania avenue, a few blocks from the Capitol. After getting settled at the hotel the party visited the Congressional Library, but much of its beauty and fame went unappreciated for the party including Alice Neeld and Gladys Thorpe were tired. During the next day or two many places of interest were visited which in- cluded the Capitol, White House, National Museum, Smithsonian Institute, Bureau of Fisheries, Red Cross building, Department of Printing and Engraving, Center Market, George Washington University, and the Corcoran Art Gallery. Trips included a tour of the central part of Washington, an excursion through parks, the zoo and the residential district where many famous homes and embas- sies were seen, a trip to Arlington National Cemetery where the famous tombs, the beautiful amphitheater, and the tomb of the Unknown Soldier were visited. A trip to Fort Meyer and to Lincoln Memorial, which is characterized as grand in its simplicity . The local group led by Miss Burton climbed the 901 steps of Washington's Monument to obtain the beautiful view that its 555 feet of height affords of the city, of Lincoln Memorial, of the Capitol, the Potomac, the Tidal Basin, and the surrounding country. Howard Herbert, a track star of the local school, tried to 'break all records in getting down, so he deserted the party and reached the ground in about eight minutes. The Dormonters were especially fortunate on Good Friday for on that day at 12 :QS p. m.. Guy E. Campbell introduced Mr. Radcliffe to President Coolidge 74 +-------------------'------IT H E T o R c H -------------------------1---+ and the remainder of the party filed by and had the honor of shaking the hand of our Chief Executive. Another high light: of the vacation was the excursion to Mt. Vernon with a stop-over at Christ Church, Alexandria, where most of the party sat in the pews where George Washington and Robert E. Lee worshiped. While in Alexandria a visit was paid to the George Washington Lodge of the Free Masons where over a half million dollars worth of 'famousipaintings may be seen and where many of the possessions of George Washington are preserved. VVhile at the lodge the true story- of Washington's death was heard. At Washingtons old home those who were seeing Mt. Vernon for the first time were astounded by its beauty and the remarkable view it commands of sur- rounding country. On Saturday afternoon the party divided, seven of the group going to the Cathedral with Mr. Radcliffe where they saw the crypt of Woodrow Wilson, Dew- ey, and others. They also visited a reproduction of the catacombs. The remainder of the party went with Miss Burton to Annapolis where they visited the Qld State House, the only one of the thirteen original capitol buildings in existence. They gathered for a moment under Liberty Tree where Wash- ington and Lafayette conferred and where the first treaty was signed with the Indians. Then on to the beautiful Naval Academy where the famous chapel is found which houses the crypt of John Paul jones, first Admiral of the Navy. The gym and swimming pool were inspected. The battleship Cumberland now used for quarters for enlisted men was visited. The first yacht to challenge and win the cup from England received its share of attention. The quarters of the midshipmen, the largest building under one roof, commands an inspiring view of the bay and shore, fourteen miles distant. Saturday evening at 10:20 the party entrained for Pittsburgh. The vacation was certainly an inspiring and enjoyable trip, for many of the group expressed themselves as having had the greatest five days of their lives. Those who visited Washington were: Edith McBane, Katherine Boobyer, Eleanor Arbuthnot, Alice Neald, Amelia Lockard, Margaret Campbell, Mildred Moninger, Dorothy Davis, Gladys Thorpe, Ann Clatty, Beulah Poole, Margaret Fisher, Thelma Dennis, Ruth Haddock, Ward Ewalt, Howard Blaine, Ralph Radcliffe, Charles Banks, Miss Burton, and Mr. Radcliffe. WARD EWALT INTERS-CHOLASTIC' ACADEMIC TESTS The Interscholastic Academic Tests were held Saturday May 2, 1925 at the Pittsburgh University. Dormont, through some mishap, did not receive word of these tests until Friday night, May 1, 1925. Other schools had two weeks to prepare their subjects, but Dormont came out second in the final examinatons. Some of our best pupils were sent to contend in this contest among whom were john Metz, Edward Buente, May O'Donnel, Alice McAfee, Anita Gueliana, Sarah Barr, Katherine Boobyer, Harry Lang, Fin- net NValker and Marjorie Stratman, Proud to say we won two medals-the winners being Anita Gueliania, second, in Spanish, and Marjorie Stratman, third. in Latin. -R.

The membership of the Club is larger now than it has ever been and with the keen interest of every member as an asset, it expects to achieve great success. -I.I1.1.IAN VV. GREEN, 'Z5. THE TORCH STAFF Staff Meeting at 2 o'clock Today. At the appointed time on Tuesday afternoons the members of the Press Club gathered in Mr. Agnew's room to compare notes and carry The Torch a little nearer to completion. The members of the staff are so characterized that it is almost impossible to make a mistake m guessing which department each one manages.

Dorothy Davis and Cecile Nichols are Literary down to their editorial finger-tips. For Betty Baker all roads lead to 219, where she takes care of the Art department. Harris Holt and Richard Allison lookas though they have something up their sleeves-and sure enough they are the editors of the new Faculty Column. Alice McAfee and George Keefer are the very capable Senior editors. Sara Long, Mary Clotworthy, Harold Keefer, and Carl Kissling, always maintain a very sportsman-like demeanor, which they succeed in carry- ing into their write-ups in Girls' Sports and Boys' Sports. Ruth Cooke and James McAfee are always bubbling over with-yes, School News. Bruce Ander- son and Eleanor jones are splendid information bureaus on the subject of alumni. W'ard Ewalt, John Metz, Wm. McKnight, Theodore Early, Mildred Moninger, and Florence McCrory are so plainly models of business efficiency that it is almost un- necessary to mention that they are the Business manager, Asst. Business manager, the Advertising manager, and the Assistants-comprising the Business Staff. The publication of The Torch is like a play, the actors lines are often poor and badly given, but the unseen coaches smooth down the rough spots and untie the knots. Our coaches are the faculty. Without them The Torch would be impossible. KATHERINE BOOBYER. THE HONOR ROLL When a friend asked why he devoted so much labor and time to the endless little details in sculpturing, Michael Angelo answered, saying, Trifles make per- fection, but perfection is no trifle. Today Michael Angelo's work ranks highest in the world of art because of its detailed perfection. Every day we are beautifying or marring the lovliness of the most wonderful piece of sculpturing ever created- Man . We are working with clay such as Michael Angelo never used, living, vibrating matter that responds to careful mold- ing, yet many individuals handle their tools carelessly and slur the details. In life our greatest tool is education. lt, if carefully used, will make us per- fect in detail and beautiful in strong lines of comprehension and intellect. If we apply this instrument industriously it will gradually eliminate all rough edges such rudeness. selfishness and ignorance, substituting in their stead, culture, refine- ment, and knowledge-details perhaps, but attributes worth working for to attain. The opportunity is here for all of us to add our names to a list of individuals who are striving patiently to remove the rough edges, that they may step forward, perfect in detail, advancing the standard of the world. Such a list is ourl school Honor Roll. Such people are found on it. You, to be a true human sculptor and student. should appear in its ranks of strivers. MARGARET G. WEBB '25. DORMONT HI-Y CLUB The Dormont Hi-Y Club was reorganized at the beginning of the 1924 fall season. Mr. VVilliams and Mr. Carson took charge of the first meetings held in the lecture hall. VVard Ewalt was elected president, Richard Allison, vice-presi- dent, and Bob Pierson, secretary and treasurer. Meetings were later held in room 26, until the end of the fall term. At the opening of the new term, 1925, the Club held its meetings at the Downtown Y and Mr. Miller from Dormont becameleader. The Club held one social activity Nov. 18, 1924 in the gym. The Club engaged in a champion ten contest which was won by Langley Hi-Y with Dormont second. On Monday, the 13th of April, the Cup was awarded. The evening was given over to stunts by different Clubs. - ' ' A Bora P1ERsoN. 78 +--- ---- -- ---- -'-' - H-THE TORCH' ------- ------+ SCHUBERT CLUB 'l'he Sk'llllltL'I'I Chili has lreeume :ui im11o1't:t11t lzletm' in selitml life.

K ' ' ,-vt-.ef - W THE GIRL RESERVE CLUB One of the finest organizations in the high school, the Girl Reserve Club, has just completed its second successful year. A large mnnber of girls in the school now join this organization, for it is becoming a necessity as well as a pleasure for real students to be connected in a social way in High School. The past year has witnessed many successful and enjoyable affairs such as, Initiation Dinners, Conferences, Teas and Banquets. VVhile Vlfelfare and Coopera- tive work has filled the days with useful tasks and exemplified the spirit of the Girl Reserves: Service to others. In order that a club may be successful it must have the loyal support of every member-Mas it had for two years and hopes to have in the future. Together with enthusiastic, loyal girls, capable, efficient officers are needed to direct the destinies of a club, and it is quite evident from the names printed' below that we have elected, as officers. girls who are workers and winners.

F . means Move Up Forward. The movement origin- ated in 1916 and is sponsored by the Y. M. C. A. All sophomores, juniors, and seniors in high schools where there are Hi-Y's, are eligible to sign up for a M. U. F. interview. The purpose of M. U. F. is to help boys of high school age, who have decided upon their future vocation, to get a better idea, or new ideas, concerning their life work, through half hour interviews with successful business men. It is also open to the boys who have not chosen their life work, since through an interview. they may be able to choose the vocation for which they are best fitted. A boy, desiring an interview, fills out a schedule card and an information blank. These are turned over to the Y. M. C. A., which in turn, arranges for the time and place of the interview, and provides a successful business man usually of the same occupation that the boy has chosen, to discuss that vocation with him. M. U. F. was a great success in Dormont High this year for there were ninety-seven boys signed up for interviews. It was made a success through the good work done by the members of the Hi-Y, who explained the idea of M. U. F. to the boys signing up, and through the good sense shown by those who signed up for interviews, proving that they valued this opportunity. - The Hi-Y wishes to thank Mr. Carson, who so kindly let them use his office for signing up the boys, during M. U. F. week, thus making their campaign a greater success. We appreciated that kindness. We can now look forward to M. U. F. next spring, which we all hope will go over with greater success than it did this year. RICHARD ALLISON. BASKET-BALL DANCE One of the most enjoyable and merriest occasions of the semester was the basket-ball dance, held Friday, March 13. It surely was a happy day for the girls' and boys' teams when Miss Blank gave permission to the juniors and sen- iors to give a dance for these two teams. George Keefer, chairman of the senior social committee, arranged the dance. and showed his customary ability and cleverness as master of ceremonies. It was a success from beginning to end. There were about fifty couples present. Miss Burton, Mr. Dickeroff, Mr. and Mrs. Glass, Miss Blank, Miss Sanner, Miss Mc- David and Miss F. McKinney were the faculty members that chaperoned the dance. The Blue Ridge Serenaders filled the gym with popular strains pleasing to the dancers' ears. Nothing was lacking, for even little programs were distributed. This was the second dance of this kind held this year in the gym in the even- ing, the football dance being the first one. Although there are frequent afternoon dances, they cannot compare with these semi-annual affairs. We hope the senior classes of the future will make these dances regular annual events.

PARENT-TEACHERS DAY , On May 7 at the Dormont High School and Grade School a Parent-Teach- er's Day was inaugurated having a two-fold motiveg to promote greater co-oper- ation between the parents and the teachers, and to show the parents what had already been done by the various departments. In the afternoon the parents were requested to visit the classes from 12:30 until 3 :20. Each class displayed, in one form or another, the results of the years work. Periods were so arranged that there were three recitation hours in the afternoon, and the parents were shown the every day school work of the pupils. The Art department had on display the different types of painting and draw- ing studied by all the grades. The Sewing room was crowded with both admir- able work and admirable visitors. In the Cooking room all kinds of food, which looked most appetizing, were displayed. The cooking pupils had also set a table correctly with the silver and china of the department. This room had a special appeal for every visitor and pupil. The boys' handwork was displayed in the Mechanical Drawing and Manual Training departments. The Music room showed original work done by the pupils. The language, history, science and commercial classes carried on their regular work. Each room had its visitors. The faculty asked the parents to cherish the opportunity that Parent and Teachc-:r's Day offers. to take an interest in the school life of your boys and girls. They were undoubtedly pleased with the response they received. The Aim. A Visitor from Every Home, was certainly attained. In the Evening both parents and students were entertained, in the gymnasium by a program from, Miss Sanner's, Miss MccDavids' and Mr. Glass' department. A group of boys, led by Charles Mayer, amused both themselves and the audience in a brief musical attempt. The Orchestra and Schubert Club offered an enjoyable musical sketch between 8:00 and 8:30. Both gymnastic teachers put on a short display. In the lecture hall a scientific display was held. The French a.nd Spanish departments under the supervision of Miss Lorraine and Miss McBride held a French. and a Spanish play. The faculty felt that the evening program was especially successful. They are looking forward to renewed suc- cess with renewed co-operation on the part of parents and pupils. RUTH EDNA COOKE, ll-A. CHAMPIONSHIP WON BY SENIORS The noon hour activities have, al- ways, during the brief history of Dor- mont High, held an important place in the athletic program of the school, but, during this year the interest manifest- ed surely surpassed that of the last two years. There were inter-class basketball games four times a week, the girls playing on Tuesday and Friday and the boys Mondayu and Thursday. On Vlfednesday there was always a special attraction, when Mr. Dickerhotf con- ducted wrestling matches. The Senior A class, both boys and girls have been noted, since their Freshman year, for their athletic abil- ities and as a climax to their high school athletic program, won the bas- ketball championship again this year. This class won the championship, at South, when only Freshmen and have continued to do so throughout their high school career. Two years ago they won the interclass track meet for which they were to have been present- ed with a silver cup. The members of the Senior Class, who took part in these activities, were presented with class emblems which were surely fitting rewards. These were jane Lyon, Sara Long, Mildred Moninger, Alice Richey, Alice Mc- Afee, Eleanor Doeblin, John Kelly, Ed. O'Donnell, john McKee, john Holm- es, Henry Johns, and William Wilken- SCH. SARA E.

T o R c H ---- - ------------ -----+ LUKE WARM, THE DRUG-STORE COWBOY Luke VVarm, our hero, is an absent-minded, but very nightingale-ish student of Dormont High School. He is so absent-minded that he reminds us of the pro- fessor who kissed his shoes goodnight and put his two daughters under the bed. But Luke does love to sing fhe's trying to cultivate a low voice by singing in the basement. J When he tried out for Schubert Club, Miss Sanner inquired, Are you the fel- low with the falsetto voice P No, replied Luke, I'm the one with the false set of teeth. A fter Luke had sung for Miss Sanner, he said, VVhen I sing I get tears in my eyes. VK'hat should I do about it F Stuff cotton in your ears, was the answer. On an oral test in Music, the c uestion was asked: What are auses ? It was l I.uke's turn to answer. He said, They grow on cats. One evening after school the new clean-up man came in to the music room while Luke was there. Our hero remarked impertinently, Theres six weeks' dust on this piano. The new man came back with. Thats not my fault, I've only been here three weeks. Luke doesn't like Latin. For three semesters he has been trying to pass Latin II. Shortly after the beginning of this semester, Luke Warm was talking to Chuck Mayer. He said, I'm gonna drop trig. VVhat for P asked Chuck. I don't believe in sines. Luke has a little difficulty getting along in English. He never can remember whether it's correct to say It is me or It is I . Mr. Herrington told him the easiest way to fix the correct way in his mind, was to repeat the little rhyme- 'It is I' said the spider to the Hy. A few days later Mr. Herrington asked Luke if his advice had helped. Luke said, No, I can't remember whether it's, 'It is I'. said the spider to the fly, or 'It is me', said the spider to the flea. When Luke entered the Public Speaking Class, Miss Lorraine wanted to know if he had ever done any public speaking. Said Luke, I talked over a three-party line once. At a basketball game one night Luke Warm was chosen for time-keeper. Dutch Bantley asked him if he had a stop-watch. Luke said, Yeah, it stops three or four times every day. At a dance not.so long ago a sweet young thing upon being introduced to Luke said, I'm almost certain I must have run across your face sometime or other. Oh, no ! answered our hero, It's always been like this. Then Luke asked the Y. T. if she knew a man with one eye by the name of Jones. What's the name of his other eye ? she interrogated. Usually folks have the desire to hit Luke-but they are reminded, luckily, of that old, old saying unearthed with King Tut: You can never drive a nail with a sponge no matter how hard you soak it.

She surely proved her ability by making goals from almost any an- T Q R C H1...-.-.11----u--an----1.--.-.-nl. gle on the floor. Since jane is one of our Seniors who graduates in June, the loss of her will be greatly felt next season. Sara Long, our most capable for- ward, deserves high praise: for her great ability as a basket ball player can scarcely be rivaled and her teamwork with jane, was above all the glory of our squad. She is another Senior member of the squad whose loss will be greatly felt. Kathryn Palen, captain-elect of the 1926 squad. was one of the hardest workers and most consciencious play- ers on our squad. This was Katl1ryn's first year at basketball and her ability cannot be questioned. VVe surely wish her luck in her Captaincy. Eleanor Doeblin, who played both center and side center, surely showed us that real pep, zeal and stick-to-it- ive-ness really gain something after all. For although Eleanor was not a regular at the beginning of the season, as a side center she gained her letter. Mildred Moninger, who played at guard throughout the past season up- held that end of the game to the best of her ability. We wish Mildred luck in everything she undertakes. Helen Anderson, who is only in the second year of her high school career, held down the center position in a fine manner. We are sure she will have success on the basketball court during her last two years in school and will play her usually good game. Grayce Hudson, the only Junior member of the squad who earned her letter, played a particularly good game at guard. By her ready wit and good nature, she always kept the entire team in high spirits. Angela Fedor, who has just finished her first season at scholastic basketball, earned her letter by playing side cen- ter, and her work is surely worthy of our most sincere praise. She has been ,Beyer ready to do her bit to put Dor- 100 mont on the victorious side. Dorothy Russell, has surely prov- ed herself a worthy and competent manager of the girls squad. She has been ever ready to carry on her part of the work and has been a friend to each and every member of the squad. - '--' --- T H E T o R C HM- ---- ------ - - L--- -L------I------+ PALEN LYON 101 - '-+- - '-'- - '--4 - ---1 - ---1 - -1-+ - -1-1 - -1-+ - 1 1+ --ITHE TORCHH- +-'- --' - '+ + - -+++ - + + - + +- -f-H SENIQIRMWEARERS W 1112 '3 nk, lf U 5 -Mun U4 rwl 'W f Mila 1 x O Ulu: lliill I--Y llllll I-I A 'I-ll 'lit 'St Y!!! lun Ale A-su ms S rn elif?

F BASEBALL llormont, although handicapped hy not having her own field, has never- theless, developed an exceedingly good team. liortunately only a few were lost lay graduation and this left practically the same team. Captain Sineock is the main pin on the hurling staff, with Miller on the receiving end. The in- field consists of l'hilp, Banks, Bantley. and Sposato with Brown, XYilkinson and johnson in the outheld. The schedule calls for the opening game with Crafton at Dormont. The Mt. Lelmanon authorities were so kind as to allow us the use of their field for our home games, which we appre- ciate very much. ,lohn Kelly is manager again this season while XYilliam Sincock is cap- tain. Coach Glass seems confident of our playing for the county title this season and hopes along with the rest of us, to win the cup. at is at DORMONT TROUNCES CRAFTON llormont easily defeated Crafton at llormont hy a score of 6 to -1. Sincock. although wild at the start, calmed down and struck out fifteen ot' the opposing team. lianks led the 103 hitting with three safe hingles and al- so played vvell in the field. This was Dormont's first game of the season and was witnessed hy a large crowd of Dormont and Crafton rooters. Crafton rather failed to put up a good fight, sotne say it was hecause several of their varsity were laid up hy injuries, neverthless we heat them fair- ly and that counts a lot.

Dormont came up in the seventh and with two out liantly started the rally that won the game, with a safe hit and reached second on an error. Sposato drew a walk, lirown hit and Banks received a walk.

A RATHER POOR START Dormont lost her opening game of the basketball season to Knoxville by a close score of 42 to 37. It was only through the inability to make fouls that beat Dormont as she led Union in the number of field goals. Captain Bantly played the best game for Dormont, while Dornburg played well for Union. Let us hope that the bad start for the W. P. I. A. L. champ- ionship will not affect the ending! ik lk PK DORMONT DROPS SECOND Captain Bantly and his aggregation hit a little hard luck in their second cage encounter. McKees Rocks and her boys out- pointed her in a splendid game by a margin of 36 to 25. The personal foul rule claimed two of Dor1nont's best men and maimed the rest of the team rather badly. Both teams were evenly matched, and it was just a matter of fouls as to who would win. Bantly and Turn- blacer contributed best for Dormont while Angelo was a dreaded shot when near the basket. ' PK Sk Pl! CARRICK LOSES FIRST TWO DORMONT Dormont crashed through Carrick's defense as if it were paper and amass- ed a grand total qi 43 points against the opponents 20, much to the dismay of Hill Top Fa-ns. Much to the delight of the fans, the game was clean and well played, Dor- mont having only a half-dozen fouls charged against her. Dormont's scoring was led by Turn- blacer and Sincock, while jones was best for Carrick. This was Dormont's first victory of theseason, and it prov- ed to be a very decisive one. lk bk lk NICE ATTEMPT For the conditions under which this game was played, Dormont did re- markably well. On a floor not much more than half the size of our own gym and with clear glass banking boards, Turnblacer starred for Dor- 105 mont by scoring 8 of her 11 points-3 field goals and 2 fouls. In the absence of Dutch Bantley, Turnblacer, 'acting as captain, insti.lled a brand of pep in- to the team which kept them fighting under such a hopeless handicap. Car- negie played all her home games on this fioor, thus accounting for her re- cord as runner-up in the league, Sec. 8. 4: 4: 4: ANOTHER FOR US! This represents the best of Dor- mont's victories. The game. was hotly contested on our fioor and required a 5 minute overtime period to decide the wi.nner. The second team showed up well? in this game-going in to relieve the regulars and running Union rag- ged. In the five minute overtime our rested first .team showed Union how to play basketball. The game 'was very hotly contested, aided by the rival cheering sections, thus making an in- teresting night of it. lk if ii TOO BAD .CARRICK At this opportunity it is only fitting to congratulate Carrick on school spirit. In school spirit this school showed the rest of us what it means. Although it was evident from the first who the winners were, Carrick kept trying de- terminedly. Cheering was just as loud and spirited at the end as in the beginning. Timmy Sincock staged an exhibition 'in shooting, caging 8 field goals. Our captain, Dutch Bantley, received many favorable comments on his sterling guard play, while Banks was roundly approved of by Carrick rooters. ak in 4- DORMONT WINS CLOSE ONE This game took an overtime period to reward Timmy Sincock for his su- perior playing. He wiggled out of a mass of bodies and scored the winning goal. It was on this floor that Dor- mont played her perfect game of the season. The ball was just kept going-. zip, zip, zip-all through the game. Very little dribbling was witnessed, and long shots were rare. Corry's ex- perience coupled with exceedingly lucky shot-sl kept them so close to our boys. 4..-...-...-...-..-..-.......,-...-..-,T H E T O R C H .-................-..-..-......-...--4. CRAFTON AT DORMONT This game between the rival schools was much more bitterly contested than the score testihes. The game was see- saw from beginning to end. Banks, our stellar guard, played a masterful game on offense and defense, outwit- ting the foe many times. Dougherty, the best referee around this section, was satisfied when the game was end- ed. Bott, Crafton's guard, shared the star role with Banks by playing one of the cleanest and best games of his ca- reer. lk ik if ONE FOR THE OTHER ONE Considering the conditions of the Hoor and the fact that Dormont isn't used to playing in a circus ring, the score was a very moderate one. The ceiling was high enough, but the bal- cony was drawn in 'till it covered the corners of the floor. Lucky shots from almost anywhere resulted in Se- wickley's high score, defeating Dor- mont 43 to 23. lk lk if CARNEGIE WINS CLOSE ONE Carnegie had to extend herself to the utmost limit in order to subdue the fighting Dormonters. Guarding was close and easy shots few, for the game was evenly matched. All eyes were turned on Banks who caused the Carnegians much worry with his brilliant headwork and beau- tiful shots. Carnegie soon noticed his great abil- ity and watched him with eaglelike carefulness. Carnegie is sure fortun- ate to have such clever players as Mollinger and Fisher for they kept Dormont's score down very low. Once more Dormont's foul shooting weakness was present, and we hope they can soon overcome this handicap. DORMONT WINS FROM SEWICKLEY Sewickley received a bad jolt when she was met and conquered by Dor- mont to the tune of 32 to 20, leaving Dormont plenty of points to spare. Dormont's scoring was led as usual by Sincock with Captain Bantly run- ning second in scoring honors. Improvement was shown by D. H. in foul shooting obtaining ten out of twenty-two attempts. The win over Sewickley made it the second victory out of six games which is not a very bad percentage. CARRICK BOWS Carrick dropped a well-played game to Dormont at the Hill Top Y . Dor- mont was master of the situation at all times and led by a margin of ten points. The majority of the scoring was done by Sincock, but Banks pressed him close for honors, being only four points behind Timmie . It was the second time Dormont de- feated Carrick, and she is gradually paving her way for the championship which is not far out of her grasp. NICE ENDING Dormont ended its rather successful season in basketball with a decisive vic- tory over Coraopolis. Bantly's Ar- my went at the game fast and furious, and their enthusiasm knew no bounds for several were barred from the rest of the game through the personal foul rule. This is the second win over Corry and the men felt much elated over the outcome. Besides being the last game of the season. it was also the last high school game in the career of- five of the reg- ulars. Banks, Captain Bantly, Turn- blacer, Holmes, and Sincock are all lost through graduation and th e Torch and school wish them the best of luck in their new worlds. 106 , +----- ------- -- f--A -MT H E T o R c H- --------- -----+ THE LETTERMEN Carl liantly, this young fellow known as Dutch , was our little cap- tain. Some say that he brings back the biblical adage, And a little child shall lead them. lVe beg to say that if any one saw him perform on the floor they would never mention child again. Besides being a stellar per- former on the basketball floor he was also the star shortstop on the baseball team. A more sportsmanlike man never played at Dormont and our only regret is that we losq him by gradua- tion. Dormont' will not only miss his sterling ability but also his winning smile and good nature. Robert Banks--Horatio Alger in his book Slow but Sure had for a hero Tony, the Bootblackn or some such name, but if he would revise the book n.l Zll'lllCl'H Banks would be playing the leading role. He takes his time in do- ing a thing and it was always well done. He has earned his D in two major sports, basketball and baseball and we also regret to see him leave, not by the waiver route but by grad- uation. 7 George lirown-our captain elect, is one of the best players developed in the high school, his remarkable phy- sique and dazzling speed go to make him ai deadly guard and as he is only a sophomore, Dormont will have his valuable services for several years to come. john Holmes-jack, although he did not get the required number of quart- ers, received a letter. He graduates this .Iune and he was used in several games where he clearly showed his ability. He had the proper spirit needed for a good player and captain- ed the second team. The whole school gives him deserved credit and regrets his leaving. l.ynn Kirkpatrick-we should not mention the team without putting in a word for Kirk . for his managing ability was much needed and was al- ways attending to his duties. The po- sition of manager is not the easiest thing in the world and no one knows it any better than Lynn. He earned his letter by hard work and diligent at- tention and he too, leaves us by grad- uation. --------------------T H E T o R C H s1a1.xenZj Iexol uo15e.l3 sgodomog Aappgmog DIDQJJBD agiaugeg xog ssaypygi uogun sgodoexoj Aappgmag 11'-'T uoquxg 219511125 9gBau.I'e3 xog saaxoyq uogug - ,L-.ll swgod lmol i.. l speog lnod S1909 P1955 ED 95 amz E55 EB- mm of: QP X if v-1 X SI Y N G Bi X IH4 v-1 X 1-1 N .K X N U7 v-4 CN!

It was. The Opportunities XYe Neglect , When a student I often thought, XYhat a great thing it will he when I get out of this place . I suppose some of my teachers had sitnilar thoughts. lint since I have left I have realized what a great thing it was to live those four years and the many things I let slip hy without even giving a try. ttf course I feel that I should have given more serious attention and greater etfort to my work as I realize now that everything you can possihly learn in school is of henetit to you either in your husiness or social life. Ilut lllosl of all I think of the opportunities in the social and athletic line which I did not take advantage of. 'Iihe henelits derived from these activities are surprising. 'I'he opportunity to learn to meet and mingle with people and to conduct ones self fittingly when in the husiness and social held should never he neglected. .Xu aim in life should he to make many friends and to have people think well of you. Ilalf of this aim can he accomplished hy learning while lmeing in close contact with your fellow students socially. .Xs for the opportunities along athletic lines, Foothall and Iiasket Iiall were the extent of my athletic endeavors in Iligh School and if I had those days to go over again I wouldlgo out for every sport offered whether I made the Varsity teams or not. Ileing a first string player doesn't give you any more hrawn than lscing a second string player. XYe can not realize the importance of a physically perfect hody until at some- time we fall short of our own expectations. XYorking indoors hrings out the need of a strong constitution, and to huild the hest possihle physical foundation while in school should he the aim of every-one. My little experience while out of school causes me to say, Dont neglect your work, hut take advantage of every social and athletic advantage presented to you hecause health, friends, and knowledge are usually fore-runners of success. -'I'yvI Bcienizss. 109 UMN' l 4..-...........-.....................-.T H E T 0 R C H .-..-............-..-......-........g. NO TITLE This is just a voice crying back to D. H. S. from out of the wilderness of the crew-el world. To those who expected great things of me-I have to report that I am not President of any great firm as yet--at work I'm present-but not President. There is one thing I would suggest that we have in the school-that would benefit the student, that is a course in How to punch the Time Clock on Time . Lateness is marked automatically in red ink-as E's are marked dramatically on your report cards. I seem to still be fond of my favorite school days colors.
