R u th Fugh All work for the year was undertaken with one objective in mind: that the Counf cil was to act as a medium between the student body and the government of the school, and that as far as possible it was to be the exemplary and ideal organization of Dormont High. Student Council laid special emphasis on the traffic and attendance problems. By talks in assemblies, campaigns in report rooms, and individual efforts on the part of Council members, it is evident that the cooperation of the students in regard to these vital factors of the schoolls success has been secured to a far greater extent than ever before. Assembly programs have been entirely under the supervision of this organization and have been steadily becoming Bigger and Better events in the student curriculum. Student Council also put on two very successful banquets in honor of Dormont Highs worthy athletes. December 2nd was the date of the football banquet to which Page Eleven muunnu nnununnnnn nunnunnnnuunnuununnlunnnnnnlInnunInInnuulunuunulun nn llnnu lunluunm were invited the squad, former players, faculty, parents of the squad, and any others who wished to attend. The basketball squad was entertained at a very delightful ban- quet held in May. Another one of the Council's general undertakings was the codification of the regulations of awards for athletes, members of clubs, HifLife and Torch staffs. The general system of class elections was also supervised by this group. In February a new election of oificers was held and the results were as follows: President ...........,.,..,.......................,,,,...,.......,,., 1 ......,..,.,................,...,,,.......

Four years, alas, how fast they went, It seems but yesterday When we, as Freshies high school bent Did gaily wend our way. But those four years were filled with joys With study and with fun, They fitted better, girls and boys, Life's later race to run. This song, the tune may not be found, The words may ne'er be told, But will to us sweet music sound, This class of Brown and Gold. For this, to many teachers true, Our heart felt thanks we give, And of them, till life's journey's through, Fond memories shall live. We look upon our memory's screen With iield or floor portrayed, And see again that stunning scene In which we cheered or played. We see again the noisy throng, And hear the victor's cry, While from it all is raised a song For Grand old Dormont High. OLIVE SNYDER l f OUR HISTORY i .t w N the year nineteen hundred and twentyfthree, in the city of Wzishiiigton, l I D. C., the seismograph recorded a large earthquake in the vicinity of Egl, Ligl Pittshurgh. By further investigation it was found that the tremor was due to the fact that the Dormont Puhlic School, situated at Hillsdale Avenue, was losing one of its most noted classes. The class was to enter Dormont High School in the fall of 'twentyfthree where it would finish the eighth grade. The pupils not only felt proud to he entering at such a time, hut also thought the High School would greatly henfit hy such an event. The first day of school the class tried to enter as nonchalantly as possihle hut yet they could not restrain their expressions of awe as they entered the massive portals. Their new report teacher welcomed them with open arms, little realizing that she was greeting so much trouhle. In Fehruary 'twentyffour, these pupils hecame Freshies, considering themselves so well acquainted with the school that they could easily fill the places of the Seniors. Another group of Freshmen came from Mt. Lehanon, and still others came up on the Toonerville Trolley from Castle Shannon. These groups were put under the protection of Miss Burton. And so hegan our High School career. Things went quite smoothly except for the rounds of drinking fountains and paddles. ln Septemher, 'twentyffour, South Hills lost a foothall star when jack Stirling joined Miss Burton's section. Elsie Ellerton thought it hest to finish her stenographic career in our school and left Knoxville, Knowing that the class play would not he a success without a good electrician, Boh Baines left Schenley and joined our forces. ln june, 'twentyffive, Ted Homer traveled all the way from Altoona to he with us. The rest of the year things went quietly, with the exception of an occasional visit to Mr. Radcliffe. Attracted hy the rosy prospect of coming with our class, Dorothy Stonehraker and Eugene Sullivan said farewell to South Hills in the fall of twentyffive. Hearing that Dormont High always had nice Chemistry suhstitutes, Crawford Taylor decided to heat a retreat from Knoxville in Fehruary, twentyfsix. At the end of the midfyear Miss Camphell concluded that the strain of trying to keep her class together had heen too much. This section was then placed in charge of Miss Lorraine. At the same time Lucy Morton and Richard Collins enlarged Miss Burton's section. Shortly after, Bessie Schacter arrived from Schenley. By this time we felt thatqwe had representatives from nearly all the Pittsburgh schools. Page Twentyfnine THE DORMONT TORCH annululllnulllulullnlulnnulnlIlunnlnllululuulluullunnunluillllllllllnlunlInnullnullnnsInlunnuluunluuunuuullunllllnlnm In February, 'twentyfseven, Miss Lorraine visited Schenley and they wouldn't let her leave so it was thought best to put her section of the class in the hands of Mr. White, who had come all the way from a little town in Ohio-Springfield by name. At the same time George Boyd and William Dobbs decided to stay with Miss Burton's section, and Ollie Moore, Hudson Wilkenson and Frank Lewis joined Mr. White's lists. Mr. White wrote our excuses for just one semester and then gave us up fwith many regrets, of coursej to Mr. Henry, who didn't know that his troubles were only beginning. In September, 'twentyfseven, Clive Snyder, Katherine McKenna, Laurena Dietz, and Clifford Snyder, thinking that it would be especially nice to graduate with our class, left the Senior-B's. We now felt that our experiences were just beginning for we were really of some importance. Was it not our class who entertained the SeniorfA's at one of the best Prom's ever given? Hadn't we entertained our parents at teas and exhibitions? Our Senior-A year was the best, for our Class Play and Senior Day program were wonderful successes. We couldn't imagine the school existing without us. And yet, since the very serious earthquake which the seismograph recorded on January twenty- seventh, nineteen hundred and twentyfeight, due to the graduation from High School of the class which had caused the tremor in 'twenty'four, it has been found that the other classes have been able to uphold the standards set by thisclass and the everffaithf ful Maroon and Gray.

It has hrouqht me one revelation, anyway. I fcel sadly in need of a course in memory training. Why'. I can't even rememher what happened the first day of high school. Oh, I can. It was Septemher 2, 1924. But then, that wouldn't interest you. Two of us weren't here for our 'Fresh' year, you know. But how did D. H. S. impress you on that 'day of days? Say, I felt completely dissolved, and no fooling. And I didn't get 'sat' on the water fountain like Dave Cort, either. But I traversed the hack alleys to avoid the calamity. Mayhe I wasn't scared, though! I didnIt get initiated, either. Those high and mighty sophomores told me I was too little and had to grow a year longer. It didn't take long for our class to get acquainted though. The faculty was cerf tainly helpful. Especially our report teachers, Miss Johnson, Coach Glass, Miss Mc' Kinney and Miss IVlcDavid. Oh, yes, don't you rememher Bliss lVIcDavid and her fiance at our Halloween party? Yes, and Johnny jones! Whzit party? That's right, you weren't there. Well, it was the famous 'comingfout' party of the more famous Freshmen held in Hafer's most famous hasementf' That was some party! Do you rememher who the mysterious person was? No, all I rememher is getting all wet hohhing for apples! So much for social functions. Vs7eren't we a 'funny gang' though? And studious! Oh, yes! Rememher our fear of Mr. Carson? Miss De Normandie was always sending us to him. Hal Ha! We never got there. Say, will you ever forget the day Mrs.fFreeze, Icicle, Snow, Ye Gods, what was her name, ohf-Mrs. Frost sent Mark out of the room on the end of her elongated ringer? Page Sixtyffive TH E DORMONT TORCH mllllllllllllllllIIllIllIllIllIllIllIllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllnumulIllIllllullIllIIllulllllllllulllulullllllllllllllllllIllIllIllIllIllIlllllllllllullllllllllllm This sounds like the 'Dark Ages' to me. Let's see how much we remember of being sophomores. We got a lot of recruits that year. About the first thing I recall is election time with Jim Saeger taking Franklin Yellig's place as president. And Caefsar's Gal-lic Wars! 'Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres'! You would! The only reason anyone took Latin was to try to get into Latina Clava. That't the only club that saw the advantage of having 'sophies' in its midst. XVe had about the most fun eating lunch in Study Hall. And such meals! The line at Paul's was almost as bad as the cafeteria line now. And what a menu! Pop, 'refined mongrels', 'rejuvenated cucumbers' and 'I scream' with doughfnutsf' And for dessert we had 'dofnots' from the teachers. 'Don't hang out of the win' dowsl' 'Don't monkey with the clocks' 'Don't throw erasers.' 'Girls, don't play marbles on the floor'! Oh, yes, and remember how we jumped rope in Study Hall? Ask Betty Cunning' ham. And how much 'Emmy' ate! Somehow, it never made an impression. And how the 'gang' in 204 threw chalk down the ventilator? 'Tat' McKenna was certainly the champion. Remember the time 'Tubby' McCoy wrote on the window, 'Wash me', and Miss Johnson kept us all from going to Latin club till he washed it? And who broke the clock in 204? I don't know, but I'll bet we missed another Latin Club meeting for that. Didrft we use to have fun in assemblies in Study Hall? How we looked up to Mr. Carson and the president of Student Council! Remember the time 'Mr. Happy' was there? He said he had a 550,000 home-e right next door. And a suit for every day in the week. 'And this is it!' Oh, how we laughed! How about our 10fA debate against the Sophie B's? Resolved, that Napoleon was a benefactor to civilization. Let's see, who were the eloquent debaters? I think they were Sally Ewalt, and Ruth Leitch against Peggy Wellings and james Stewart Martin. How about the greatest event of the world historyg-the primary publications of the illustrious HifLife? Oh, yes, they gave us the next day freeeflt was published on Friday. About the first important event written up in the HifLife was the Elson Art Exhibit. Don't forget Parents' Night shortly afterward. The only time we ever behaved ourselves was when our parents were there to watch us. no. .t st That reminds me of the fun we used to have in Mr. Sheet's Geometry class. Especially when Mr. Radcliffe came in and quoted poetry. There was plenty of excitement when we gave 'Tubby' Johnson her farewell present. She certainly deserved it, but more than repaid us with gratitude. How we missed her when we returned as juniors. Especially when Miss F. McKinney did the parting of the ways. She gave part Page Sixtyfsix TH E DORMONT 'TORCH muuununullnunlnlununnnlnnululuInnlnunlInnnlunnululnluInlulununnunu' llnlllillllllllllllllllllllllIllIlllllllllllllltllllllllllm to Mr. Church, some more to Miss McLain and kept the darling little 'lambs' for her' self. All the dear lambs rushed for the clubs, too, so they could get their pictures in the 'Torch'. We all felt important too. Franklin Yellig was our president again, and everyone was some officer in some organization, so we were all happy. Especially the majority that decided to carry five solids. We had fun, anyway. Remember the enthusiasm everyone showed when the budget plan was announced for the first time? That certainly 'went over big' with the Lyceum course to help it along. There was no lack of enthusiasm at the opening of the social season: the big junior-Senior Masquerade party in the gym. That was one big success, all right. It was just what we needed after surviving our class debates. And they opened the cafeteria then, too. Oh, didn't the meek little lambs from 112 feel big reporting in 201 with the SeniorfA's while the new addition was being finished? The cafeteria served its purpose, but it took our delightful lunch 'hour' away and kept us broke buying lunch checks. Well, they gave us the Interscholastic Debates for nothing. You bet, and our juniors, Ruth Leitch, Louise Linn, and Edith Turner gave our class a good showing in debating. Don't forget the Oratorical contest! Why, Hertha, our chairman, won that silver cup in the sectional championship and made a name for the Juniors in oratoryf' What about the Pitt Academic contest? Four out of eight D. H. S. honorable mentions were juniors. Ahem! That gave our dear Alma Mater fourth place. We're a bright class, all right, but that could certainly be called our literary year. And maybe we didn't feel the need for vacation. No more than when we came back as Seniors, feeling very much in need of a rest after a strenuous vacation. Mr. Glass, taking Mr. Carson's place as assistant principal, soon put an end to that with all his 'slips' for this, that and every other thing. You know, I don't think any of the Seniors felt so 'great' after all. We didn't seem to have any 'privileges' at all. I wonder if the Freshmen look up to us now? They ought tog we're the kind that should be lookedfup to! We have 'it'! Something was added to 'it' when our rings came. Wasn't that exciting, too? They came just in time for the football banquet just before Christmas when Captain jim Saeger accepted the championship football trophy for D. H. S. And the prom! It was the best ever! Those decorations and invitations were certainly Ruth MacNelty's masterpiece. We did feel fine when we started our final semester! Of course, they had to take dear old activity period away from us. D.H.S. will never be the same again since activity is omitted. No more walking through halls and holding conventions by the lockers. We haven't had time for that this semester, anyway. Page Sixtyfseven 'T HE DORMONT TORCH mulnuunullllIInnunnunnuulunInnlIllIuIllIuInllllunnnmnnunllIlullnunIInllununnnlnnnnllnInnunInInnlnnnnuIluuunuulnnununnm I should say not. Since our first big SeniorfA meeting when the results of elecf tion of officers and the selection of committees were announced we've been 'on the jump' continually'. And yet the team had time to win the first basketball championship for D.H.S. This school never will forget our class with so many trophies to 'root' for us. It seems to me our busiest week was the week we had class play try-outs and pictures taken. A double dose of torture. That class play positively 'went over' big. Our class certainly has initiative. It seems as if we bring the first of everything to our school. And yet we don't leave anything out that was enjoyed by former Senior yclasses. That glorious Washington trip will always be remembered by all of the groups who went this year and the years before. It's certanily well worth waiting for. We've just had such a glorious time that we almost hate to think of commence' ment. We won't have much time to waste on dreaming about it. Think of all the things there are to do yet. Those Pitt tests and Scholarship exams are approaching altogether too fast. I'd like to know who said that Seniors weren't busy. I'll second that. Vw'e'll just have time to hope that our future will he half as glorious as our four years in high school. That would mean perfect bliss.

Our J A taxi slowly pulled up in front of the Shady Show House, and to our great surprise out leaped Boh Smith to collect the fare. Ahsentmindedly, we gave him a ruhher nickel and a D. H. S. lunch check for a tip, fWe hope he doesn't feel hurt.J Chuck Quel, the doorman, came to the taxi to hring us an umhrella, as it was raining. Edith Eeth and Ruth Weaver, the ticketfgirls, slipped us some free tickets- to Peanut Heaven. ln the seat across the aisle from us were Miss Evelyn Bishop and Wztrren McKay, who, after a romance of ten years, are still on speaking terms. Miss Bishop was munching on the tenfcent hag of peppermints which Vx7arren faithfully hrings her every week. However, slyly hehind WHYFCIINS hack she was holding hands with Roy Tomlinson, who was openly admiring her lines of jewelry. The great guest conductor, Foster Waikeheld, was directing the orchestra composition entitledz-f 'Matrimonial Blues written hy Elizaheth Smith. The Fox News hegan and pictures of the great Evangelist, Brother Phil. Johnson, and his ahle assistant, Boh Moore, who have nearly completed their series of revival talks, given throughout the United States, were shown. Howard Orr and Wztlter MeWade have finally formulated a new antifsneeze powder, which can also he used as a flea exterminator, or a tooth paste. The famous jockey, Jack Higham, rides the well known horse, Bonfhon to spec' tacular victory in the Hamhurger stakes. Paul Kunkelman and Hertha Strothman were so delighted with their Wztshington Easter tour hack in D. H. S. that they are taking it againf'-perhaps on their honey' moon, who knows? Mary Johnston and Ruth MacNelty have just finished a heautiful portrait of Jesse Sohn, who has recently Nimperfectedl' an aviatorls safety suit, patterned after the one designed hy Major Hoople many years ago. Jeanette De Backer and Bertha Green, the women concert violinists, thrilled the music critics, Mildred Cole, Martha Grau, Marion Stone, and Edith Turner, with the interpretation of Chalkoffskfs prelude in Y minor. Let us now move on to the palatial home of the distinguished poetess, Miss Betty Page Sixtyfnine TH E DORMONT TORCH ElulunlnnnlululnlnullnunnunulnlnulllulnlllululIllnllluuulnllllIlllllllllnlluullnluullnlnlnlIllnullIIlIIIIllIIuInullullulllllnullm Cunningham, who is shown giving a twenty dollar goldfpiece to Vic Leahy, and telling him to keep it among his souvenirs. She may be a genius, but she surely does some frightfully silly things at times. Imagine giving Vic Leahy twenty dollars and telling him to keep it as a souvenir. Next door to this house is the home of Mr. Ed. Dietz and his young wife, the former Miss Ruth Rankin, who are quietly observing the controversies of life in the city. If Ed. sees anything which displeases him, he writes anonymous letters to the mayor, Mr. James Smith, giving him valuable suggestions. Next we see Peggy Vosper, or as she is now known, the Duchess of Covert. VV e hope the Duke hasn't read Browning's My Last Duchess or if he has that he hasn't got any bad ideas from it. Then we see that Inez McGill, Betty Lyon, Bertha Norman, and Virginia Karlen, of the Spanish Academy, are making many improvements and revisions in Spanish Grammar. Next we see a room in the White House where David Cort, our President, is pin' ning a medal on Richard Wolfe, who has just flown around the world in his mono' plane, the Chandler Twelve. Ethlyn Saling and her husband, Mr. Richard Stitt, ambassador to France, are being madly pursued by Charles Minnotte, the distinguished photographer. The American Olympic team is shown embarking for France on the S. S. Dor- mont. Anne Sullivan, Marion Kling, Betty Herbert, and Caroline Churilla make up the clever golf team. Edgar Alcorn, the AllfAmerican pitcher is also seen leaving for Europe. Track Coach Homer Truesdale says he is sure that his relay team, composed of Frank Pittinger, Edward Rech, Amos Jones, and Fred Smoot will win the 33,333,333fl4 meter low hurdles at the Olympic this year. Joe Giessinger, the billiard champ, shows how to dot it and converts the Anti' Pool league, represented by Helen Hook, Katherine Peoples, and Dorothy Newell, into enthusiastic boosters of the game. Betty Warnock and Madeline Kish, head librarians of Carnegie Library, recom' mend Professor Harlen Gardner's Latin ponies to all poor struggling high school Latin students. Sarah Ewalt, Murna Emiegh, Elinor Keefer, Helen McComb, Elva Ackleson, Mabel Shrieber, and Rosalind Mitshelin make up a society known as the Chain for the promotion of bigger, better, and more obedient husbands. t Emma Koegler has attracted nationfwide attention by her series of lectures on Sophistication. Julia Davenport and Thelma McFarland are voted the world's most efficient private secretaries. The firm which has been lucky enough to employ these experts is the firm of Lietch and Freas which has shown the world that a concern can be sucf cessful even though the heads of it are not men. Next was a comedy, George Arnold in Mama's Boy. Lorene Ortmann plays the part of the innocent girl at home while George is out whooping it up. Louise Linn as Mama sings sadly, I wonder where my Georgie is tonight. Barbara Fetterf Page Seventy 'TH E DORMONT TORCH EIullIllnlIllIllIllIIlIllIIIIllIllIllIllIIIIluIIUIIlIIIIIIIIlluulmnllllnlllullIIIUIIIIIIIl1IIIIIIIIIIIIllIllIIllluIIllIllllllllIllIIIIllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllm man, George's cook, is seen slipping some cookies to Wes Hamlin, the big icefman. Jim Saeger, the undertaker, takes Wes's body away after he has succumbed from the effects of eating first trial cookies. George finally reforms after a goldfdigging blonde has relieved him of all his possessions and he lives happily ever after with his true love, Lorene. Accordingly having enjoyed the foregoing farce to such a great extent we were in a good humor to tolerate Virge Clark, considered the second Joan Crawford, and john Fulton in the farce, Parlor, Bedroom, and Sink. Then came the Stage Show. The stage show opened with The Three Dancing Debs , Dot McKinney, Adelaide Hunter, and Virginia Brooks, showing the new steps in Collegiana. The Soldier Boy Trio, made up by Franklin Yellig, Fred Stitt, and Bill Hudson presented a program of close harmony and novelty numbers. Eddie Richards and Evelyn Gamble, the piano duo, closed the program with a singing and playing act that made a big hit. The feature song was,, When Banana Peels Start Falling, I'll Come Sliding Back to You. Coming Attractions at Shade's Theatre john johnson and Sarah Hoffman in, I Don't Want to Get Well. Bashful Cuties , with Martha Miller and Dorothy Mayer. Betty Hix and Wayne Howard in, She Was Only A Fisherman's Daughter, But She Cast A Mean Net. It was now tenfthirty and time for all us little children to be in bed, so we went out of the theatre in a happy frame of mind, perhaps because we had seen ourselves on the screen or perhaps we had seen how successful our classmates had been. On the way back our taxi was stopped by a big traffic cop, Ernest Hilscher, but when he saw who we were he humbly apologized for having detained us. We bought a copy of the New York Times, which by the way, is edited by Peggy Wellings, and beheld in flaring lines-ggWilliam Hickling, President of the New York Board of Health finds that Mac- Wade's fleafpowder, which he has been using as a powerful disenfectant, may also be used as a corn remover. Looking further, we find that Jimmy White is running a column For The Love' lornf' jimmy is far more modern than Beatrice Fairfax, and we advise you to give him a trial. We also see that a Humane Society Committee, composed of Dorothy Dawson, Ruth Gutknect, Wilma Hafer, Virginia Hess, Helen Hoegner, and Elizabeth Poole, appeal to Mark Bracken, the multifmillionaire, for aid to their cause. Raymond Halen, the distinguished Parisan stylist, laments the fate of the modern woman. He says she is fast and shamelessly losing her feminity in gaudy and bold clothes. Louise Hedrick and Florence Hopper are decidedly opposed to Mr, Halen's opinion and say that the modern woman is more graceful and attractive than ever. In the society section we see that jane Preston is to be married to the Count of Manville, and that Catherine Tyler and Louise Sibel advocate the Howard Wood beauty treat' ments for all who would become prominent in society. Returning to the front page we see something that we overlooked before, and that William Crawshaw, and Catherine Colledge are reported missing. A nationfwide search is being carried on, but as yet their disappearance remains a mystery.

Page Seventyfseven THE DORMONT TORCH ROOM 108 Despite the fact that room 108 has a high rate of tardiness and entirely too many girls for one class, nevertheless it certainly takes the cake for original entertainment, for the eight boys that constitute the sole male element of the class are exceedingly active. At 8:40 in the morning, just five minutes before the last bell rings, the only occupants of the room, as a rule, are the illustrious boys and perhaps two other girls. Thus an opportunity is offered for concocting some new scheme to make the late comers suffer. The door is kept locked until the linal preparations are made. Then it is opened and the fun begins. Bill Hudson at the teacher's desk posing as lookfout com' mittee and scorefkeeper, whistles as the first person tries to enter. At this signal Frank Yellig in first Seat near door lets yard-stick descend upon the victim's head, while Cort and Stitt fire erasers to complete the dose. All goes well until Emmy, in a desperate hurry, and quite un' aware of her perilous danger, bustles in and receives a hard blow in the eye and a shower of chalk dust in the face. The storm breaks. Chuck Quell suffers a blow on the head but no fatal injury results. Upon enf trance of Miss McLain the seven innocents are industriously studying. Final score stands: 7 points-2 fouls. We wonder if Coolidge will back out of his statement HI do not choose to run as quickly as did these live wires. One week the boys kept up an incessant agitation for their newly adopted slogan: We do not choose to sit. They even refused to be seated during the devotional exercises. However, they soon gave it up in despair, because apparently it was getting a little tiresome standing for ten or fifteen minutes every morning while the rest of the class enjoyed a delightful rest. If Dottie McKinney is considered the most popular girl of Dormont High, we can justly say that Emma Koegler runs a close second. At least she gets far more attention from the opposite sex than any other girl. Hudson and McWade are good old scouts, for they have been drawing Emmy into the limelight without any thought of personal gain. Extensive advertisement of Koegler's Liniment For Sore Throats, Chapped Hands and Anything Else You want it For, Emma's Skin Cream, Guaranteed Not to Burn or Roughen the Skin, and Lucky Strikes Emma's Favorite have decorated the boards and are bringing fame to our schoolfmate. We wonder what Miss McLain will do without this charming class to keep her busy next fall. No longer will she have the privilege of inviting the girls to be a little more friendly and sit two and three in one seat UQ, of rebuking Emmy for her constant flirtations and ap' parent levity, of complimenting Katherine Colledge and Madeline Kish for their promptness in attending school, and of urging Louise Linn and Edith Turner to do some nightwork for a change.

Yol. 5. 902 cubic centimeters ldes, March RUSSIAN DUKE SUED FOR BREACH OF PROMISE Named in Big Divorce Case Dickerhoff, one time Duke of Russia, has been recently named as stellar figure in the Countess Ivan Scavinsky Scavar's breach of promise suit. The countess says that the duke made repeated pro- posals to her, which she re- peatedly refused. However, she accepted him on the thir- teenth proposal with the stipulation that she be allow- ed to control the duke's vast wealth. Dickerhoff, having an unreasonable fear of wo- men, seems to have gotten cold feet at this point and fled to the dear old U. S. A., leaving the poor countess with the wolf at the door. When questioned by Buck Snort, cub reporter for the Low-Life, as to his inhuman treatment of the poor count- ess, the very calm and suave duke stated that he had noth- ing to say at the present, but would have something for the press in a very short time. Without doubt this desperado has something up his sleeve. It might be advisable to add that seven years ago he fled to this country and has hidden ever since under the guise of a chemistry profess- or at Dormont high school, a small institution in the back- woods of Pennsylvania.

DEAN OF WOMEN SEEN SMOKING Case to go before Student Council April, 3.-Irene R. Blank, erstwhile Dean of Women and science teacher in Dor- mont high school, was seen smoking glass in the haunts of her dwelling at room 209 yesterday. This news is a real beat and comes from authoritative sources. It was gleaned by none other than our own Editor-in-Cheese, H. F. Yellig. When faced with the facts the debonair school teacher simply replied that she did it in the advancement of science. She stated that she preferred to smoke glass because it did not stain her Fingers and had no injurious effect on her throat. This is really a deplorable situation and cannot be brought too forcefully before the eyes of the good bugghers of this fair hamlet. lf she is able to smoke glass without any ill effects, it is only rea- sonable and fair to deduce that she has discarded tobac- co for the much stronger stimulant, glass. Folks, we want a quick decision for this culprit and let's have it! FLIARS OFF Don't we know it?

LEAHY FIZZLES EASY SHOT Can't stand gaff April 13-Captain Victor Francis Leahy of basketball fame, blew an easy shot in the interscholastic cigarette butt-shooting contest, held in the D. H. S. gymnasium last Saturday. Leading with a score of ten out of thirty shots, Leahy took an Old Gold butt in his hand and after a long and deliberate aim, arched it. The missile hit the edge of the cuspidor and fell to the floor. .lack Higham, Dormont's famed iron man, took first place by following up Vic's shot and retrieving the second-hand butt. Higham was then pre- sented with a pewter loving cup by Superintendent of Schools, Ralph Radcliffe, who takes a keen interest in all athletic activities. Both con- testants left the floor midst the deafening plaudits of the crowd.

Dear Sir: My great auntis second cousin is a orohibition en- forcement officer. Once when he and a party of friends were out raiding a house they came upon a locked door. My great aunt's second cou- sin, who is a strong man, at- tempted to splinter the door, but as the door was of pecu- liarly strong construction, it resisted all attempts. As a last try my relative gathered his forces behind him and they all made a concerted rush upon the door. Imagine my great aunt's second cousin's embarrass- ment when he, followed by his friend, fell down two flights of stairs into the cel- lar, and a clothes hamper filled with clean wash. John G. White. Low-Life Bldg. Emb. Momts. Ed. Dear Sir: Last evening my residence was the scene of a reception given for the visiting dele- gates of the W.C.T.U. con- vention in this city. After the meal was finished the gathering seemed to grow stale and as I was consider- ing the party a total Hop, an inspiration struck me like a flash from heaven. I imme- diately seized my bichromium nickel plated Hask that I al- ways carry for emergencies, and holding it out to the view of the assembly, I said, Cmore or less absent minded- lyl, Come and get it. Imagine my embarrassment when six women and one man were trampled to death. Clarence E. Glass. BED-TIME STORY FOR THE LITTLE FOLKS Once upon a time there was a college boy living in a fraternity house who got up one morning and found his socks without any trouble, and when he opened the dresser drawer there was a clean white shirt on top, and then when he got to his eight oiclock class the professor as- signed seats alphabetically and he got put between two swell looking mamas, and at lunch time there wasn't any honor society eating at the house so he didnlt have to go out and buy a hot roast beef sandwich and coffee for 20c, and then after his roommate took him to the show with the four bits he owed him he fixed up some blind dates and he drew a babe with curly blonde hair and a road- ster all her own, who had just transferred from some hick school and didn't know any boys vet and when he came home there wasn't any one in his bed so he laid down and dropped right off. Next Tuesday evening in the Low-Life, Uncle Ernie will have another fairy tale for the kiddies. Good night, kiddies, pleasant dreams. OUR REPORTER GETS FACTS OF MYSTERIOUS WAKEFIELD DEATH Case all cleared up. In view of ascertaining the sad facts of the sudden de- parture of our late brother, Mr. William Foster Wake- field, our reporter visited the scene of the accident yester- day and has obtained for our readers the exact facts of the case from John Smith, fore- man of Wakie's place of em- ploy. The following are the direct and exact words of Smith in expressing his feel- ings over the case to our star reporter, Ray Halen: 'gHe was a man you'd like, was Wake , sighed the fore- man. Happiest guy on the whole lot. He used to keep us laughing all day, him with his jokes and tricks. Any time he saw we was feeling on the outs, you could always depend on Wake to shove a man off a girder, or drop a rivet down his neck. Man, he could make us laugh! He once put a guy into a concrete mixer. We all laughed to see how the chap came out all mixed up with himself like. '4Lotsa times he put cement in our sandwiches. You shoulda seen the faces we made when we tried to eat them. But somehow we never was able to bawl him out for it. Our teeth was stuck fast, you see. L'No, Wake ain't with us any more. Only this morning he was carrying some dyna- mite across the lot and he throws up a stick just to scare us. Then he fools us and doesn't catch it coming down. Yes, yes, that's poor Wake all over. . 2...- fws s are Fi X F-5- l l so lllhliav --f--- - ' 'if-Egg - --- - f - .L-2.1-4 7 -X L 2 B li W a i -W--gt..-..,.. .a ,Z i 2 'L lf Q -'li '1 -L' 'll Q ,J l 2 N WN X S V Wir 7 U: ,,A, -, ,.,.- 13:1 . . - , '..' iiis f ,iei W J , + 3 n ,J J Aldridge, Richard Arnold, Gordon Baum, Poland Bean, Clyde Blair, Alvin Blair, Joan Brown, Jane Bulger, Ray Burns, Anna Campbell, Charles Cardarelli, Daniel Clark, Robert Cotton, Charles Crawshaw, William Dawson, Ben Deely, Maurice Dodson, Albert Downall, James Doyle, Elizabeth Driscoll, Cleland Enscoe, Ethel Feehan, Alice Finger, Catherine Foster, Elizabeth Francis, Jean Gilbert, Floyd Gray, John Gray, Paul Hamel, Charles Hamel, Henry Harper, Vincent Hayden, Malcolm Hook, Thomas Hornbake, Gertrude Huddart, Naomi Jenkins, Mary Johnston, Williams Jones, Amos Jones, Dave Kable, Jane Kauffman, Myron Kennedy, Hanna Ketterer, Katherine Knipe, Virginia Kreiling, Ruth Laird, Dorothy Lang, Ruth Lang, William Lockhart, William Lovejoy, Malcolm Lovelace, Ralph Martin, Katherine McClain, David McClain, Mary McCoy, Don McGarry, Katherine Mervvin, Sylvia Metz, Murray Meyers, George 4 ad ml M ,QL Milligan, Catherine Mitchell, Howard Moon, Edna Munch, Jack Munch, Ted Musgrave, Thomas Cbringer, Edward Cwens, Helen Pensyl, Ruth Poppe, Sylvester Reiss, Robert Rizzo, Josephine Roessle, James Schmidt, William Seberry, Margaret Smith, Robert Stevens, Margie Stright, Jennings Strong, Alice Sykes, Elizabeth Swartz, Grace Thorsen, Doris Waterman, Rachel Weston, Isabel Wetter, Alice Williams, Sara Williamson, Cecil Winters, James Woods, Clara Page Eightyfone Page Eighty-two THE DORMONT 'TORCH THE LAST QLEAFJ FORD With Apologies to Oliver Wendell Holmes I heard him once before As he rattled by my door, And again the town resounds As he bumps over the ground In his Ford. They say that in its prime Ere the monkey wrench of time Tore it down. Not a better fliv was found By the mechanic on his rounds Through the town But now it blocks the streets And snorts at all it meets Sad and wan. And it turns its feeble wheels That it seems as if it feels Its day is gone. The mossy marbles rest On the people he has pressed To the street. Q And the squeak he loved to hear Has been gone for many a year And is heard no more By the policeman on his beat. My Grandpapa has said, Poor old buzzard he is dead Long ago. That it had a wooden crank, And the gas in the tank Was like a Pittsburgh driven snow But now the tires are thin, And it rests upon its rims Like a hose. And a dint is in the tin. In fact it's almost outside in But still the old thing goes. I know it is a sin For me to sit and grin At it here. But the way the old thing knocksg As the many streets it blocks Is so queer. And if I should live to see The last Ford that will ever be. Let me laugh as I do now, At the old forsaken scow In the hands of Bennett's The Pittsburgh junking company. -,..-v.T...--.:,:,.:: ggg1Q2gZi.-'42 : 3 .s t ---1--- '-.. Z..

'1 7 FEBRUARY '28 CLASS PLAY Ccmach-Miss Miller The Whole Town's Talking l , W ACH semester it is customary for the graduating class to present a play, lg the proceeds of which go into the general school fund. The Whole 'ff' Town's Talking was given on the 12th and 13th of january, by the l l midfyear class. It was a typical farce from beginning to end, and every scene was filled to the brim with action. The play concerns a wealthy manufacturer, Henry Simmons, who is very anxious that his partner, Chester Binney, marry Ethel, his daughter. Chester is just the type that never appeals to women, and as Mrs. Simmons declares Mr. Binney is such a blank, that when he enters the room, you think someone has just gone out. Sim' mons and Chester decide that the only way to win Ethel is to make Chester a Man of the world, experienced with life and women. To say that the characters were chosen wisely and acted well, would hardly do them Justice. Let's say The play was wonderful! and still we won't be exaggerating in the least. Stanley Nichols as Chester Binney, was a constant source of surprises. His inter' prctation of the character was above reproach. Evelyn Bulkelcy as Ethel Simmons, portrayed the character so well, that we really forgot she was our classmate, and instead looked upon her as the true daughter of this wealthy manufacturer. Ted Homer as Mr. Simmons, very capably carried out his part. His difficult situations and apparent worry surely appealed to the sympathy of the audience. Ellen Gray, as Mrs. Simmons, really showed us how determined and haughty, a wife could be. She played her part unusually well. Irene Levine, as Lctty Lythe, the movie actress, was an outstanding character of the play. She impersonated her part with remarkable skill, and her acting ability was vcry evident. It isn't any wonder that Stanley Nichols was afraid of jack Stirling. Jack showed just how ferocious and jealous a suitor would be. Page Ninetyfthree 1.

We enjoyed their acting because it was done with such sponf taniety. No one was disappointed in Sadie Bloom, otherwise known as Gail Wells. Who else but Gail could have given us that swagger and spurt? She acted her part very admirably. Wouldn't it be a pleasure if all maids were as dependable as Annie fBessie Schacterj? She furnished humor and atmosphere. The interpretation was very well done. Last, but not least, comes Tom Clunan, the taxi driver, and Katherine McKenna, a neighbor. All we can say about you, Tom, is You're there when it comes to col' lecting money. And you certainly helped to start the Town Talking Katherine. RUTH FUGH.

The cheer leaders for this year were Edward Dietz, head cheer leader, assisted by Dave Jones and Paul Luttig. The awards for cheer leading are a gold medal for head cheer leader, a silver medal for Hrst assistant, and a bronze medal for second assistant.

This year the committees and committee chairmen were replaced by interest groups.

Each scholarship award amounts to four hundred dollars toward a four year college education. The law requires that the State Council of Education shall make the appointment to these scholarships on the basis of competitive examination. The examination was held on the 4th of May, from 9:00 A. M. to 12:00 P. M. and from 1:00 P. M. to 3:00 P. M. The examinations were held in the High School. Each candidate was examined in English, Literature, American History, and either Latin, German, Spanish, Biology, Physics, or Chemistry. The candidates from Dormont High were: Louise Linn, Edith Turner, Hertha Strothman, Adelaide Hunter, Weston Hamlin. RED CROSS WORK The students of the Dormont Public School, Hillsdale Avenue, Kelton Avenue, and High School are a unit of the Junior Red Cross. Among the many interesting and helpful projects carried on by this organization is the correspondence and exchange between nations concerned, of booklets made in the schools. The most recent activity of this kind, was the compiling of a book to send to Albania, a small country located on the shores of the Adriatic Sea. Miss Cook was chairman of the committee who put the book together, Miss McKnight and Miss Poss, from the Public Schools, assisting her. Ruth Leitch, a SeniorfA, designed the cover and sectionized the book, which was very beautiful when completed. W The contents of the book dealt with native children, schools, and costumes. In fact, everything that would interest and aid in teaching the Albanian children was included. PARENTS' NIGHT The Parents' Night was held May 3rd, at the Dormont High School. Each year there is a display in all departments and all class rooms are open for inspection. The purpose of the Parents' Night is to acquaint the parents of the Dormont students with the work of the school, to visit the class rooms, and to meet the faculty. The arrangements for Parents' Night were made by the Parents' Day Committee: Miss Cook, chairman, Miss Sanner, Miss F. McKinney, and Mr. Ray. Programs were sponsored by the academic classes and musical organizations of the school. Exhibition work was shown in the Art, Cooking, Sewing, Mechanical Drawing, and Gym classes. The shop and scientific laboratories were also in operation. We trust that everyone enjoyed the evening, and that when they left they carried with them some of the spirit of this great school.

In order to encourage the use of the French language, only that language is per' mitted to be spoken at all the meetings. If a new member speaks a word of English at an initiation a penalty is imposed upon him. At any social affairs held by the Club, French is spoken for the first half of the time and English for the remaining time, and all games are also played in the foreign manner. In order to gain admittance to the Club, a two minute talk must be given in French.

Plays, monologues, speeches, and musical numbers fall in Spanishj featured these interesting meetings. The aim of the Club has been to teach its members to appreciate the Spanish language and to be able to speak the language more fluently. When the second semester started the Club announced that all members of the Spanish classes were eligible for membership in the Society. Many applied and were taken in at the initiation held March 22. Everyone enjoyed this affair very much be' cause of the utter discomfort of the new members as they replied, or rather tried to reply, in Spanish to the Ask me Another questions of the President.

During the first semester of the school year, there were thirtyftwo members and everyone was an en' thusiastic and ambitious singer, The requirements for admission to the Club were a voice test given by Miss Sanner, the instructor, and a three quarter vote of the mem' bers of the Club. They had the following engagements last semester: Entertaining the Womexi's Class of the Dormont Presbyterian Church, a radio program for the Baptist Young People'sg and assembly programs. Miss Sanner has always been eager to see the Club increase in membership, because the training received is highly beneficial as well as pleasurefgiving to the members. If a student wishes to join the Club, arrangements for a voice test must be made with Miss Sanner. NEW MUSICAL ORGANIZATIONS Last semester Schubert Club expanded somewhat in an endeavor to interest more of the students in Music. This expanding has been in the form of a Boys' Clee Club, which met every Tuesday at the close of school, and the Girls' Glee Club, which met every Thursday after school. Miss Sanner believes that the general singing at assemblies by the entire group has greatly improved, because of these organizations, and sincerely hopes that they will continue to grow in enthusiasm as well as in numbers in the future.

Taking charge of the traffic squad is one of the duties of the vicefpresident of Student Council. Since the Student Council had not yet begun to function, Mr. Glass appointed Don McClain, a member of the squad last year, to reorganize the squad. Franklin Yellig was retained and Hve new members were appointed. They were Ray Halen, Bob Clark, Ernest Hilscher, jesse Sohn, and Richard Wolfe. Ray Halen later resigned and Jim Dixon was appointed to fill his place.

The auditorium in the Hillsdale School was crowded with gay and youthful couples. The Christmas spirit pervaded everything and was aided by Bill Hollins and his Blue Ridge Serenadersf' The decorations were carried out in Christmas colors. The windows were trans' formed into Gothic Arches, being covered with painted and colored paper. The stage represented a large window, having a black frame around it, three candles burning on the sill and icicles clinging most realistically to it. A beautiful tinsel bell hung from the chandelier, and Christmas trees were profusely scattered around in different places. We can truthfully say that a better Prom was never given and that everyone had a good time. It all ended too soon, and we were forced to think of school the next morning. ADELAIDE HUNTER. AEROPLANE CLUB Our branch of the Aeroplane Model League of America promises to be one of the most popular clubs in Dormont High. The Club first started late in the fall and soon had enrolled fifteen members, who began work immediately on models, and displayed great enthusiasm in the trial flights. Many surprises await the members as they sail their planes for the first time. The Baby R. O. G. was among the first to fly successfully. The Indoor Endurance Tractor gave a very satisfactory flight, flying from one end of the gym to the other, and only being stopped by the wall. The largest type to be built is the Outdoor Twin Pusher, which holds the world's outdoor endurance record, having flown for over ten minutes. William B. Stout, President of the Model League of America, and head of the Ford Motor Company, explains that the basic principles of aeronautics is learned better by building model planes than by any other method. All the materials, being pur- chased from headquarters at Detroit, consist of Balsa, a very fragile and light wood, bamboo, and japanese tissue paper, with the necessary glue and everything for complet' ing the models. The Club holds contests between its members and those of other Clubs, which affords great pleasure to anyone interested in aeronautics. Many aeroplanes which have been built by students of Dormont High will com' pete for national honors when the Third Annual Model Aeroplane Contest is held at Rodgers Field, Aspinwall. At the beginning of the second semester, the Club was reorganized. With the aid of the national secretary of Model Aeroplane Clubs, whose headquarters are at Detroit, the Club formed its constitution and elected its officers. Within a short time the membership of the Club increased rapidly. In making these models it was necessary for the boys to make many experiments in order to have them fly successfully. They designed and built many types of wings, propellers, fueslages, etc. They also conduct frequent trial flights. NORMAN KIRKLAND THOMAS TRUBY.

E3 O. station on a special tourists' train to Washington, D. C., Be' 3 cause Miss Burton well knew the length of our memories, having accom' l panied Dormont crowds before, she kept our tickets until we were well under way. When we opened the envelopes containing the tickets, great was our surprise and pleasure to find a brand new one dollar bill. On the train coming home, it was rumored that Miss Burton had only given out the dollars in case someone ran out of money and now wished them returned. Poor Mabel Schreiber was greatly agitated because she had spent hers, but offered to go to the bank first thing Monday morning and get another one. At Harper's Ferry everyone piled out of the train and posed pompously for his picture on this historic spot. About an hour later the Washington Monument loomed in the distance and this was a signal for everyone to start hunting his stray tooth' brushes and bridge decks. On arriving in Washington, we were taken to the Lee House, our hotel, which was unusually pretty and very modern. That evening was spent at the Congressional Library, where we viewed the small' est book in the world and the original copy of The Declaration of Independence. The following morning, after waiting for Mr. Glass, who was still sleepy, we toured the public buildings of Washington. At the White House President Coolidge's butler informed Hattie Moon fso she tells usj that the President was to have Chow Mein for lunch, and she was very much insulted because she wasn't invited to stay, because that is her favorite dish. Later that day we visited Mt. Vernon, nrst stopping off at Alex' andria to see Christ's Church that Washington attended and the Masonic Lodge, where Washington was Grand Master. The return trip was made by boat, and all was not quiet along the Potomac, while we were sailing on it. Annapolis was our next tour and here we viewed the gorgeous black marble tomb of John Paul Jones, and saw the students on parade. Since our guide was scarcely ac' quainted with the place, Miss Burton guided us around and explained everything. In the evening when we returned from Annapolis, some of us went to the Martha XVash' ington Candy Shop, one of the most interesting and unique affairs in all of Washing' ton, although it is not on the regular schedule. Saturday morning the group visited the Red Cross Building and the Corcoran Art Gallery. Several of our girls were hunting the famous painting Mona Lisa. Tat McKenna approached a stranger and asked, Have you seen 'Mona Lisa'? Easter morning found some of us in bed and others out to get a last view of Washington. About half the group went through the Catacombs at the Fransiscan Monastery and attended the Mass Meeting , as Hertha Strothman was heard to call it. However, the time spent here was very short as everyone wished to see the cherry blossoms which had come into full bloom Saturday night. The train for home left a little after eleven and we practically had to run for it. Coming home we sang and ate and slept all day. Rachael Waterman and Earl Grabe, a former Dormont student, staged a mock wedding. Finally the train pulled into Pitts' burgh at about seven thirty with a tired but happy bunch of kids , filled with pleasant memories of a wonderful five days. ELINOR KEEFER. Page One H und1fed'eleven SK f s ' ' C ' FOOTBALL :FE P 0 I? -il - ' ' F m i ef H s e 5 - s A a -. ' X! A nr Q 0 I ' I HE prefseason outlook for the 1927 football season at Dormont was by no I means brilliant. 'Captain Jim Saeger and Ollie Moore 'were the only two , lettermen on which to rely from preceding seasons. There were three score or more raw candidates, with little or no varsity experience, that had enthusiastically turned out for berths. VV ith the problem of filling in the vacated positions on the team, the coaches went to work to mould a combination that was going to show itself worthy of their efforts. After a month or more of supervised practices, a combination of personified fight and spirit was finally welded from the many green players, under the tutelage of Head Coach C. E. Glass, Assistant Coaches, F. W. Loeffler and J. F. Carrol, the latter being the newest addition to the coaching staff of Dormont. , Starting the linefup that worked together throughout the entire season, Dormont dropped its opening game to Ben Avon, 1442. Because of an inability on Dormont's part to secure the two points after touchdowns, the boys had to take this sad defeat. The team was quickly reconciled, however, with its victory over Bellevue, followed in succession by Bridgeville. A second nonfleague encounter resulted in the team's sec' ond defeat, this time in the hands of its agefold rivals, Schenley. Following this half of the season, Dormont proved itself to be a great scoring machine, winning all of the succeeding games, and permitting its opponents to eke out a mere thirteen points in all. The schedule ended as a climax to one of the greatest, if not the greatest football seasons in the history of D. H. S. As a result of victories over Bellevue, McKees Rocks and Carnegie, Dormont ref ceived its first football trophy-The Press Trophy for Section I of the A. C. I. D. A. A. Much credit is due Mr. Glass, whose work as Head Coach has already won the school's recognition and support. Mr. Carrol and Mr. Loeffler, capably assisting Mr. Glass, have done wonders in the work of managing the team. Due to an unfortunate injury in the Bellevue game, Captain Jim Saeger was lost to the team for several of the succeeding games. However, his undying fighting spirit and his capable playing at tackle will make his place a hard assignment to fill. Captainfelect Clyde Bean and three of his team mates of the past season are prepared to overcome all difficulties and keep up a clean record for Dormont on the gridfiron. Good luck, fellows!

For the two preceding seasons we had threatened to win our sectional championship, but it remained for the team of this year to overcome all barriers. S wine improyes with age, so we find Dormont High's basketeers scaling yew. Y. E . f X. . . The first call for candidates found one letter man from last year's squad: Captain Vic. Leahy. He, with one seasoned substitute, Harry Dobbins, formed the nucleus for a green team which was to be made a championship contender. Material was slow in developing, and it remained for the advent of the league season to really bring forth good basketball. The prefleague games were far from encouraging, but teamfwork was slowly developed, until, heading into the league season, the first round was completed without defeat, in so far as the league record shows. But Stowe gave us the biggest surprise of the season by almost doubling the score on us. This game was the beginning of a short slump, which again remained for the league games to break. Completing three games of the second round with nary a defeat in league games, it seemed that the sectional championship was ours, when Coraopolis gave us a close beating which tied the league standing for the time. McKees Rocks proved a friend in need, however, when they defeated Coraopolis the following week and gave Dorf .mont the undisputed possession of the championship. To the student body, the two games with Coraopolis, the two with McKees Rocks, and revenge for the earlier defeat by Stowe were the most interesting games of the season. The interest aroused for the post-season game with Duquesne ran high, but shortly after the game began all hopes were discarded, for it was soon recognized that defeat by a far superior team, and incidentally the Western Pennsylvania champs, was inevitable. To Coach Carrol and L'Buck Loeffler, as well as to the individuals, goes the credit for a most successful season, which was shown by the placing of four teamfmembers on the first two allfsectional teams by sport writers. Of the five lettermen only three are back, so that it will again be a job to get a winning quintet for next year.

The fact that the wrestling team of 47 ,T i l 1926727 also had a clean slate for the season places our Coach, Mr. Dick' erm, in a very esteemed position. Despite his heing confined to hed from the middle of Decemher to the first of Fehruary, the period which usually makes or hreaks a wrestling team, Mr. Dickerhoff came hack in Fehruary and in a few short weeks drilled the elements of the aft into the eager candidates who so successfully applied this know' ledge later. Prohahly the one thing most characteristic of the team was its fighting doforfdie spirit which was never vanquished, In several meets we won only hy a strenuous up' hill fight against a hadly distorted score. This spirit suffered a severe trial in the last meet with Swissvale when we came from hehind with the score 135 against us to win 'lOf18. Because of an early injury, the team suHered the loss of Chuck Brown for the greater part of the season. Much of the material was green, hut prospects for next year are fairly hright.

Practices, which were held every Monday and Thursday afternoons in the small alcove at the rear of the hleachers in the gym, were eagerly looked forward to hy the ardent fans and there were not a fewf that enthusiastically followed the new team. Never had a team received such support as this one. Students and facultyfmemhers stood side hy side in the praise of this team and its coach. The intensive training which thc thirty or more candidates received reflects on the careful supervision of their coach, Mr. Predmore. Part of the afternoon period was divided into settingfup exercises to take the kinks out. Following this, the hoxers were paired off for three twofminute rounds in hoth defensive and offensive work. In spite of the fact that it was impossihle to receive little outside competition, with the exception of two exhihition houts with Bellevue the enthusiasm never once let down. Of the following partial list of candidates, the first two are eligihle for insignias, having competed against Bellevue:--fBill Braden, Louis Nicotera, Bert Eyler, Amos jones, Phil. johnson, Frank Maxwell, Bill Swager, Tom Wainwright, Art Meyer, and james Roessle, Manager.

Ethlyn Saling As was the custom in former years, the members of the organization had a special social gathering once every month. For September they invited any other girls of the school who were interested, to join them on a Hare and Hound Chase, which very def lightfully terminated at Stilly's farm. In October, a swimming party was held at the Natatorium, and in December the girls had a gym night. Leader's Club, besides considering its own entertainment, also carried on several activities for the benefit of the school. Hot dogs and candy were sold at the football games, and tickets were collected at the doors by members of this group. It was early in the fall that the girls came to the realization that Dormont High was missing a very interesting and enjoyable form of athletics by not participating in Archery. Consef quently, in an assembly of all the classes, Olive Snyder, as representative of the club, presented the school with an Archery set for the use of the girls' gym classes.

CALVIN COOLIDGE President of The United States Life Insurance raises the moral tone of the business world, in- creases it's stability, and puts a premium upon those habits of thrift and saving which are essential to the welfare of the people. THEODORE ROOSEVELT, Ex-President of The United States. When a man comes to us to borrow money, We want to know how much Life Insurance he carries-not so much because of its bearing on his financial power, but as an indication of his type of mind, for the type of mind that induces a man to insure his life, is the type of mind which makes for success in business.
