RUTH CRAWFORD P eJfw.ei.m E ARE a fortunate generation. The World is tumbling about our ears. Liberty is dead on half the globe. Godlessness, greed, and aggression run rampant. Men are fighting and killing and dying. Many more will fight and kill and die. The great task of taking old Mother Earth by her poles, shaking her up, and then setting her aright has fallen to our lot. We are a privileged generation. The hard and close contest brings the greatest joy. What honor lies in an easy life, an easy death, an easy victory? At the forge of adversity great souls are Wrought. Cn a bloody battlefield great men are born. To those Who have already begun the great reconstruction, to those Who stand ready to give all for God and country . . . the men in the nation's armed forces . . . We thankfully and reverently dedicate this book. IU lenw an Cgorewar LL LIFE is a battle for survival. From birth to death we fight. We strug- gle for food and clothing. We struggle to make people like us. We box with mathematics and wrestle with language. Each day brings a thousand skirm- ishes and each lifetime a thousand major engagements. But more important than any battle in history is the one we now face. A wounded world, surrounded in No Man's Land, cries out for help. Our army-the army of youth-stands ready for any task. With tremendous fire- power we are waiting, waiting eagerly, for some battle-scarred veterans to direct this fire. We present to you our army record, written in the perspiration of its volunteers. As befits any army, our cry is VICTORY, VICTORY first, VIC- TORY last, VICTORY always, VICTORY at any price. Take up the call and follow us through the story of the war preparations. May each reopening of this record make you live again the days of your first conquest. May each picture and word bring a fond memory. 'z.ef?zf,J A W Lg J' ' JW' ff fi if I- A f I5 it .Af-. .

The things you learn about during the twelve years of your school life are not isolated facts: they are a kind of concentrated mental Vitamin that will enable you to judge your future actions. No one can speak of this ability as prophetic or predictable, but rather, it is a means of helping you decide what is best for you personally. The most you can get from any amount of education depends upon the boundaries you set yourself. lf you feel that you can get along with just so much, then your future is limited byjust that much. Now, that is not termed ambition, because you can not be ambitious when you don't have an extensive training. Iobs within the next decade will be plentiful. To measure up to these demands, I sug- gest that you extend the boundary of your training to a point where it will encompass the best possible iob for you. Your public education ends with a sheet of paper certifying to your completion of a specified course of training. It is a passport to the larger field of earning a living and living with your fellowmen. Twenty-four hours is a relative term in that it specifies the rela- tionship between what you are doing today for the next day's progress. If you make of your progress a simple routine determined by a whistle and an alarm clock, then you immediately classify yourself. But if you use each twenty-four hours as ad- vancing one point farther toward ultimate peace and happiness, then you are contributing toward a democratic civilization. ' A The things you do are not always the things you like to do, and it is because of that phase of your living that you make tomorrow something to be looked forward to. You will like tomorrow much better than you will like today, because the steps which make tomorrow worthwhile are determined by what you do today. The way of your living in the future depends upon how hard you fight to do the things which mean the Four Freedoms. F. C. GILLESPIE, Superintendent of Schools Lieutenant General Doing Your Part To the graduating class of l9-42, l give you my sincere congratulations on your twelve years of achievement. You may continue on a similar plane of endeavor or you may dis- cover that honor will come only to the dynamic and energetic person. Your parents or guardians are repaid for their sacrifice by this satisfactory completion of public school education. The honors bestowed upon you because of concentrated efforts are lasting memories and the added reward to them that have your welfare at heart. The critical situation of our position in the world today should instill in each of us the grim determination to do our part. Your development of positive ideals and aims will release and direct your energy. Learn to like what you have to do. Interest will make your task so much easier. This interest may be natural or acquired by relating aims to your own activi- ties. You should do everything possible to continue your education. Whatever you do, do it Well- RAY Y. HENRY.

Cryptographers The Circulus Latinus not only is the only classical organization in Duquesne High School, it is the oldest of all. This unique club, consisting of Iunior and Senior Latin students was founded nineteen years ago by Miss Laura G. Pound, who has always been its sole adviser. The three officers, the Senior Consul, the Scriba, the Iunior Consul, are elected by the members of the club, who are known as Ciceronians fthe Iunior classl and Virgilians tthe Senior classl at the beginning of each term and remain in office for a year. The first Senior Consul was William Brings, the Iunior Consul was Iames Woods, and Aurora Elmgren was the Scriba. This year, 1941-42, Donald Ladner, Charles O'Malley and Ann Smouse occupied these positions. At the meetings, under the direction of Miss Pound, various phases of ancient Roman life, their heroes, holidays, customs, or perhaps legends, are presented. Sometimes interesting and educational plays are produced. The Ciceronians and Virgilians alternately take part in these presentations. This year, for the first time, Sophomore Latin Students have taken part in some meetings. A The Echo Staff, directed by the capable advisors, Miss Reed and Miss Harner, published both the monthly issues of the Echo and the Echo Yearbook. Though quite disorganized by the resignation of Miss Carpenter, who has been adviser since the Echo Staff was first organized, the staff managed to rally long enough to do the job assigned to it. The staff concentrated on producing a yearbook better than any previous one. The Echo Art Club, without which the Echo publications would have been simply a lot of boring print, did exceptional work in all drawings and cuts. The good work of Miss Wright, art adviser, is so consistent that it is taken pretty much for granted. Miss Robinson and her squad of typists returned all copy so quickly that it was thought that they, and not the staff, were really writing the paper. The Business Manager was Ruth Crawford and the Editor, Edward Eatula.

Paymasters The cashiers of the Duquesne High School this year have kept up their good work as in previous years by performing willingly and vigorously duties assigned them. For the first year, the cashiers were faced with the task of selling defense stamps and bonds in each room. The Echo this year heaped more and more work on the money-handlers of the school. First they had to sell the Echo to the student body and get it to the pupils when it was published: next, they had to sell tickets for the many movies sponsored by the school newspaper. Algiers, The Life of Abraham Lincoln, and The Last of the Mohicans were presented by this group. The cashiers also sold pins and Duke pennants at the basketball games. Although the banking percentage was very low this year, Room 21 main- tained a perfect 100 per cent average. The cashier of this room is Alice Gerenda. The cashiers were, left to right, front row-leon Foremsky, Margaretta Kovac, Barbara Svitlak, Lena Saunders, Agnes Horvath, Dorothy Walko, Lester Botkin, head cashier: Alice Gerenda, Helen Chonko, Elizabeth Vamos, Marie Buchleitner, Shirley Iohnston, Doris Hedberg.

They are posted at the intersections around the school to direct the traftic and protect the smaller children irorn those older irresponsible High School pupils. Another duty is to prevent the boys from smoking on the way to and from school. ln short, they are to safe- guard the lives of other students in any way possible.

For the Golden Iubilee celebration the band marched in all of the three parades, played two concerts, and supplied the musical background for the pageant, Wigwams to Towers. It also marched at the football games, in the Armistice parade, in McKeesport's Santa Claus parade, and in the Decoration Day parade. ln March, for the first time in many years, the band appeared in a concert. The band members pictured are: Fred Culp, Robert Harclerode, Harry Davis, Lawrence Gavllk, Don Wall, Raymond Iudd, Ioseph Russell, Ellson Woody, Loretta Starzinski, Patricia Umholtz, Herschel Schilder, Ioseph Elko, lack Warbrick, Oscar Match, Bernard Ackerman, Bill Iohnson, Russell Culshaw, Edwin Pepper, Robert Bradley, Harry Fowler, Rose Gavlik, Grace Nicodemus, Joseph Firszt, Elmer Petrovich, Ollie Southard, William Hunt, Rudy Balog, Rita Rudnicki, William Rodgers, Marie Pinkerton, lane Aston, Marjorie Bennett, Alfred Petrozza, Iohn Evans, Myrtle Wood, Richard Ondick, Wayne Umholtz, Gregg Rhodes, Michael Semyan, Kenneth Sikora, Michael Miklos, William Balog, Edward McGuckin, Slavo Dvorsky, Kornell Sapko, Vera Karlqvslcy, Rudy Schreiber, Ie-an Rhebenach, Ioan Faust, Grace Balchunas, David Gabrelcik, Kenneth Warbrick, Edwin Newmyer.

E- 4 Majorettes The eight Majorettes who led the Duquesne High Band surely did a good job this year. They were an asset to our band cmd quite the apples of the onlooker's eye as they strutted their stuff up and down the avenues of Du- quesne. They really made good showings at all the games and at out-of-town parades, too. During the summer of '41 the girls attended many out-of-town parades with our own band and also they aided the American Legion band several different times. On every trip they were well rewarded for their efforts by a good time. During the jubilee week, the majorettes did their part in aiding the cele- bration. They accepted the strenuous task of marching in three very long parades whole-heartedly and gladly. During this week, they also aided the St. Nicholas Russian Orthodox Church in the celebration of the fiftieth anni- versary of their church. All during the football season the girls did their part at the games by giving wonderful demonstrations at the halves and individual shows when the band played. They attended the Munhall-Duquesne game at the stadium in full glory, even though they were disappointed at the loss. This trip ended the careers of five of the eight girls as High School major- ettes and the three luniors will remain next year with five new members on their squad. The Majorettes: La Vaughn Dittman, Olive Carothers, Marcella Richards, Doris Bernd, Mary Fedorchak, Gertrude Mcmns, Elsie Tretnik, Audrey Clark.

Also tnot in the picturel: Marjorie Whittaker. The Orchestra was originally organized for the Minstrel Show, an annual production ot Mr. Mellon's. This year, however, due to the tact that there were no assemblies, the Orchestra has adopted the name of Mr. Mellon's Serenad- ers. The Serenaders played at The Mocking Bird operetta dance and several of the High School Tea Dances. At these dances several vocal soloists were featured. At The Mocking Bird operetta dance, the vocal soloists were selected from members ot the Operetta, while for the Tea Dances different members oi the High School sang. Tap dancing was another attraction. ln addition to playing for the school dances, the Serenaders have played for the Sophomore Chapel and for the Iunior-Senior Chapel. The Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Mellon, has become a popular school organization. Since it has been playing tor the Tea Dances, the interest and attendance of the school dances has been noticeably increased. vi-rl! U. S. O.-Recreation Division The work of the Dance Committee tor this past school year has proven successful. The Conga, which was introduced to Duquesne High School by Wayne Kirkland, has made a great headway. CEverybody's doing it.l Some ot the outstanding dancers ot the past month were Mary Kreps, Charles Har- vey, Victoria Termin, and several others. The enjoyment at the tea dances has increased with the support of the Mellon Serenaders who are under the direction of Mr. Mellon. The old custom Wall flowering is still existing and we hope some time in the future the boys will acquire enough courage to ask a girl for a dance. CThis will be a miracle? The dance schedule for the past school year was as folows: Halloween dance, Christmas dance, Easter dance and the Senior prom. The Chairman and the Co-Chairman of the Commmittee were Ernest Ellis and Doris Bernd. Miss Willa Mae Fleming was in charge of the group.

The Red Cross Iunior First Aid classes which meet every Wednesday after school are under the supervision of Miss Rosalind Wightman. At the end of the required period, and after having successfully taken an examination, participants in these classes will be certified Red Cross Iunior First Aiders. The course consisted of instructions in bandaging, treatment for burns, internal poisoning, snake- bite, sunstroke, etc. Another very important phase of the Red Cross training is the administering of artificial respiration and the construction and correct use of what may be a dangerous tool-the tourniquet. Many interesting as well as useful things have been learned by First Aiders this year. There is one thing which We ourselves must learn, that is, how to remain cool and calm in order to render efficient First Aid.

Sock it to 'eml These and many others are excited ex- clamations uttered by our cheerleaders in moments of suspense and despair at our games. Winning or losing they were always on the job, backing up the team with a cheer. Their never exhausting pep will long be remembered by the students. At the football games, at home or abroad the pep squad made wonderful appearances. Their stunts and cheers kept the fans cheering all during the games, and so encouraged the team to fight on. During the lull between football and basketball seasons the cheerleaders kept in practice and were continually thinking up new cheers and new motions for the old ones. When basketball season began they started off with a bang! Since indoor cheering is ever so much better than outdoor cheering, the students and fans co-operated better with the squad and their efforts were appreciated more. They accompanied the team to all the out-of-town games, keeping up their spirits at all times. While on these trips our cheerleaders made friends with the cheerleaders of the opposing team, thus showing their good-sportsmanship and school spirit by keeping the students of rival towns on friendly terms. They went to the stadium cheering the team 'till they were hoarse and still cheering after the game was over. This was the final event of the year for the squad except the banquet which they attended on Wednesday evening, March fourth, with the teams they cheered to victory. Left to Right-lack O'Donnell, Martha Robis, Florence Banic, Evelyn Betch, Lois Burton, Ada Ardiana, Helen Chonko, Dorothy Vamos Andrew Andrews, Robert Pupich. Marines This year's swimming team, coached by Mr. Ritenour, did a pretty good job by splitting their schedule ot eight dual meets. They also came in fourth in the annual W.P.I.A.L. meet at Pittsburgh. The relay team came in second at this meet and were chosen to participate in the Western Regional meet where they came in third, making them eligible to compete in the State meet held at the Penn State pool. The Dukane Tankers beat Clairton and Butler twice but were beaten by Vandergritt and Connellsville twice. The tree style relay team was composed ot William Kozik, Alvin Murtha, Daniel Vallus and Lawrence Gavlik. The outlook for next year's team is very bright because ot the promising sophomores and juniors on the roster. The members of this year's team are pictured above: CStancling, left to rightl-Manager lames Kellar, Daniel Vallus, Alvin Murtha, Donald Cale, George Kresovich, Lawrence Gavlilt, William Snyder, Robert Madak, William Kozik, Ralph Genito and Coach Eugene Rite-nour.

Gren adiers Duquesne High's volley-ball team did not fare so well this season, losing most of their rneets. Their seasonal schedule included dual meets with Munhall, Homestead, Westinghouse and the W.P.l.A.L. tournament at Pittsburgh. Their chief trouble was that they did not have enough tall men on the team. Their opponents' lineup was made up oi the basketball stars, who had no trouble at all piling up the points against a small Duquesne team. But-credit must be given to our players for their determination and will to fight, and also to the tact that most of their practicing was done at 7:30 in the morning. The team was ably coached by Mr. D. D. Mellon. I think that next year's team will do a far better job because most of the good players are juniors and will be with us next year. The following boys compose the team of this year: tFrom left to right, first rowl-Edward Pepper, Steve Karas, Achilles Malanos, Iohn Ferrara, Bernard Kroeger, Manager Edward Little, Lawrence Gavlik, Robert Rodgers, Edward Duda. Second Row-Edward Genes, William Semaqo, Edward Bunda, Paul Mastylak, Iohn Hrico, Lawrence Novotnak, Roy Arniield, Thomas Eisenhuth, Harold Matanin.

Others not present on the picture but who have participated are: Thomas Menzies, Edward Cipkala and Frank Galata. Machine Gun Squad The Duquesne Senior High School tennis team of the 1942 season upheld our prestige in the field of sport by entering a well balanced and finely polished team in the W.P.l.A.L. tournament. The team was coached by Mr. William Sommerville, who has in previous years proven his adeptness for turning out first-rate racket-wielders. A number of seasoned veterans returned in the per- sons of Paul Kirkland, Thomas Menzies and lack Livingston. Edward Fatula returned after a year's absence, to earn a berth on the team. All the home matches were played on the newly constructed courts which adjoin the Duquesne Athletic Field. The courts have a hard clay surface and are marvelously efficient even after bad weather. Duquesne had the only team in this section which was completely outfitted in uniforms. The uniforms con- sisted of dazzling red shorts with white shirts and shoes. Teams that were played on the regular schedule were: Mclieesport, Wilkinsburg, Turtle Creek and Edgewood. The members of the team that are pictured are: From left to right, front row-Lester Botkin, Edward Mclvlillin, Paul Kirkland, lack Livingston, lack Murray. Back Row-Thomas Menzies, Ted Mizik, Mr. William Sommerville, coach: William Ackley, Edward Little. Communications The Duquesne High School track team reported to practice in April and were coached by Mr. Faust. The Indoor track team participated in the Annual W.P.1.A.1... Indoor meet at Pitt Stadium on March 14 tor the preliminary and on March 21 for the tinals. ln the Preliminary meet the 2 mile relay team placed third and lohn Shirk placed second in the low hurdles. In the finals, the 2 mile relay team placed fifth. Other indoor meets were the Tri-State meet and the Coaches Association meet. The following boys have taken a prominent part in the Track Schedule of 1942 Cbelowlt Ralph Genito, McC1inton Coughman, William Sudzina, William Kozik, Eugene Kozik, George Girhanny, Iames Ballough, Bernard Ballough, Robert Andrews, Charles Harvey, Robert Bradley, Gene Steimer, Arthur Eic- holtz, Iohn Fowler, Iohn Shirk, Lester Botkin, Iohn Kalo, William Koshuit and Steve Kresovich. 1942 TRACK SCHEDULE Friday, April 17, 1942 .........................

The reason firm, the temperate will. Still waters run deep. Faithful, gentle, and good. A man's a man for all that. .Ambition is no cure for love. Men of few words are the best men. Good nature ever boiling over with smiles. Yea, all men are dust . . . But some men are gold dust. The better part of valor is Discretion. He does much who does a little well. From harmony, from musical harmony . . . This universal frame began. I dare do all that may become a man. When it comes to friendship . . . She is surely true blue. As headstrong as an allegory of the banks of the Nile. Words sweet as honey from her lips dis- tilled. My prime of youth is but a frost of cares. Plough deep while sluggards sleep. The purpose firm is equal to a deed. I change, and so all women, too . . . But I reflect, what women never do. Speech is silver . . . Silence is golden. Her charms her downcast modesty con- cealed. The man that makes a character makes foes. Studious to please, but not ashamed to fail. Our youth we can have but today. Smooth waters run where the brook is deep. Not too serious, not too gay . . . But a rare good fellow when it comes to play. Be modest ever. Type of the wise who soars but never roams. Never idle, never still . . . Always talking, talk she will. The greatest truths are the simplest and so are the greatest men. She does things gently, but none less surely. Nature has found strange fellows in her time. How good she is, how just . . . And tit tor highly trust. He was so generally civil that no one thanked him for it. Gentle, tender, sweet and kind . . . Are her attributes defined. I am sure care is an enemy to life. Pleasures and actions make hours seem shorter. He was a gentleman on whom we built an absolute trust. You can preach a better sermon with your life than with your lips. And if we would speak true . . . Much to the man is due. Charm strikes the sight . . . But merit wins the soul. Argument is the surest weapon of defense. I love the old melodious lays . . . Which softly melt the ages through.

She is pretty to walk with . . . And witty to talk with . . . And very pleasant to think about. True as the dial of the sun. Gentle in manners, firm in reality. The man who acts the least, upbraids the most. Silence is the most perfect herald of joy. He is a man, take him for all in all. High erected thoughts seated in a head of courtesy. Many things difficult to design prove easy to perform. In athletics she has made her name. In thy face, I see the map of honour, truth, and loyalty. 'Twere difficult to find a maid . . . More patient, strong, or loyal true. The very pink of courtesy and perfection. Her paths are paths of pleasantness . . . And all her ways are peace. To err is human, to forgive divine. Ol talk not to me of a name great in story . . . The days of our youth are the days of our glory. A penny saved is a penny earned. Gentle, merciful, and just. The world knows nothing of the greatest men. For truth is precious and divine . . . Too rich a pearl for carnal swine. Good nature and good sense must ever join. I giggle, giggle as I go, To join the brimming river . . . School may come and school may go . . . But I giggle on forever. A word to the wise is sufficient. She's little and she's wise . . . But she's a terror for her size. A good heart is worth gold. There is no art to find the mind's con- struction in the face. One cannot always be a hero . . . But one can always be a man. The rnildest manners with the bravest mind. There is nothing so kindly as kindness, and nothing so royal as truth. Conscience is instinct bred in the home. He'd nothing but his instrument . . . I'd nothing but my song. A friend is a rare book of which but one copy is made. The heart to conceive, the understanding to direct, and the hand to execute. All work is seed sown. In sports he was always the best. All greatness is unconscious, or it is little and naught. The man with a smile is well worth while. The endearing elegance of female friend- ship. For I can weather the roughest gale . . . That ever the wind did blow.

Rare compound of oddity, frolic, and fun . . . To relish a joke, and rejoice at a pun. The reward of a thing well done is to have done it. If I take care of my character . . . My rep- utation will take care of itself. Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm. A good heart is worth gold. Nature has given us two ears but only one mouth. He laughs and the world laughs with him. Beauty provoketh thieves sooner than gold . . . The fair, the chaste, the unexpres- sive she. The man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest. Glass of fashion, mould of form. Every man is the builder of a temple-his body. She must be seen to be appreciated. There is no wealth but life. Ambition has no risk. Veracity is the heart of morality. I-Ier manners had not that repose. There is no dearer lover of lost hours than I. The true pleasure of life is to live with your interiors. I can be idler than the idlest flowers. There is a woman like a dewdrop-purer than the purest. A man's real possession is his memory. A mind equal to any undertaking that she puts alongside it. Everything is sweetened by risk. Her eyes are homes of silent prayer. All his faults were such that one loves him still the better for them. I love a broad margin to my life. Don't let your simplicity be imposed on you. She doubles pleasure and care divides. There's nothing like being used to a thing. The fair, the chaste, the unexpressive she. He tried the luxury of doing good. Obscurity often brings safety. To be young is very Heaven. Practice is the best of all instructors. An lrishman's wit is his character writ. Silence never betrays anyone. I shall never ask, never refuse, nor ever resign an office. Think before speaking. He was a perfect gentleman on whom we built an absolute trust. What cannot be cured must be endured Good, bad, indifferent. Things past redress are now with me past care. l am sober as a judge. Make haste, the better foot forward. lt matters not how a man dies, but how he lives. To step aside is human.

Friendly counsel cuts off many foes. His conduct still right with his argument wrong. Be just before you're generous. Avoid shame, but do not seek glory. Laughter is the keynote of wit. The very pink of courtesy and circum- spection. The reason firm, the temperate will . . . Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill. The good things of life are not to be had singly. Music is her leading trait. The dome of thought, the palace of the soul. A kind and gentle heart she has . . . To comfort friend and foe. Every man's work is a portrait of himself. An earnest soul with gentle ways . . . You scarce know what she is about. He laughs and the world laughs with him. Whatever is worth doing . . . ls worth do- ing well. fLife has no blessing like this prudent friend. I never like being hit without striking back. Variety is the spice of life . . . That gives it all its flavor. Who cares for nothing alone is free. Ambition is not cure for her love. Air words never hurt the tongue. My prime of youth is nothing but a frost of cares. Let pride go first, shame will follow later. Life is but a struggle, not a Warfare. There is no art to find the man's construc- tion in the face. He does much who does a little well. How apt the poor are to be proud? lt is always easier to believe than deny. Her good will is great, though the gift small. l was born with a chronic anxiety about the weather. A good beginning makes a good ending. Young men have a passion for regarding elders as senile. Unity brings strength. A friend in power is a friend lost. Make hay While the sun shines. A man's a man for all that. It is better to learn late than never. He that complies against his will . . . ls of his own opinion still. I Nothing is stronger than custom. No man can climb out beyond the limita- tions of his character. Happy am l, from care l'm free . . . Why aren't they all content like me? l will not believe what I can't see. Self conquest is the greatest. What one doesn't know would fill a great book. He was wont to speak plain and to the purpose.

But to see her was to love her. The very pink of courtesy and circum- spection. From a dark spot may burst a mighty flame. There is no defense against reproach but obscurity. He that is proud eats up himself. When it comes to friendship . . . She is surely true blue. Good nature is more agreeable in conver- sation than in wit. Of a good beginning comes a good end. A clever conscience is certainly a good card. Good in the best, though excellent in neither. Experience is a worthy jewel. Better a little chiding than a great deal of heartbreak. The best of luck is always waiting on you. Custom hath made it in her a property of easiness. She listens when you want to talk. His simple creed for word or deed is true as the bullet's speed. Q She wears a smile that won't come oft. All's .well that ends well. A friend and a brother to all. A little miss, not very tall . . . A comely miss, a friend to all. She is one of those on whom nothing is lost. Man is his own star. His most precious gift is friendship. Throw fear to the wind. The very flower of youth. Wit and wisdom are born with a man. Silence gives consent. Never plan the future by the past. Neatness is the asepsis of clothes. The ornament of her sex. Enforce attention like deep harmony. I dare do all that may become a man. Sing away your sorrows, and cares pass away. Knowledge is more than equivalent to force. He dreams of the things to be. The busy bee has no time for sorrow. A few strong instincts and a few plain words. He alone was natural to please. Keep the golden meaning between saying too much and too little. A Knowledge comes but wisdom lingers. His heart is not his own, but has been stolen by the fairer she. She strove the neighborhood to please . . . With manners, wondrous meaning.

When he speaks long enough, he retains many believers. Ohl sleep! it is a gentle thing . . . Beloved from pole to pole. To be merry and jolly. . . Is Mary's favorite folly. Every man has his own burdens. Adversity's sweet milk is philosophy. I record nothing but hours of pleasure. The wrong way always seems the more reasonable. Not too serious, not too gay . . . But a rare good girl when it comes to play. l believe that in the end, truth will conquer. My one claim to originality among my group is that I have never made a speech. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. Keep a good tongue in your head. He is a man to hold against the world. Hark . . . Harkl . . . the lark! Liberty of thought is the life of the soul. All men have their price. Individualtty is the salt of life. Appearances are deceptive. Refrain from peering too far. The monuments of wit survive the monu- ments of power. Small talk dies in agonies. Sweet personality, full of vitality. He provideth kindness for many genera- tions. What is left when honor is lost? I know my place, as I would they should theirs. He has quickened multitudes to mirth. The ripest fruit is first to fall. Beauty is truth, truth beauty. He knew that to offer a man friendship is like giving a loaf of bread to one who is dying of thirst. A girl bubbling with joy and mirth. Sweet is revenge especially to women. Facts are stubborn things. She does much who does a little well. Youth is ever a carefree thing. The god of music swelleth at his doors. Fair creature of an hour. To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved. H My method is to take the utmost trouble to find the right thing to say. They that stand high have many blasts to shake them. Plow deep while sluggards sleep. Work without disputing is pleasure. You were ever good at sudden commen- dations. A cheerful companion for all. He either fears his fate too much . . . Or his deserts are small. A foot more light, cr step more true . . . Ne'er from the heath flower dashed the dew. She struts her way to success. Silence is his most perfect expression of his scorn.

He knows the precise psychological mo- ment when to say nothing. I have taken my fun when I have found it. He is a historian of fine consciences. Sweet are the uses of adversity. I wished it were mine to wander aimlessly amid the silence of the world. Old fashions please me best. His friends he loved . . . his fellest earthy foes- Great floods have flown from simple sources. Good nature is more agreeable in con- versation than in wit. A young miss who never forgets. He is happy for he has found himself out. Necessity has no law. A good folly is worth what you pay for it. She does things quietly but none less surely. 'Tis wise to be folly. By his work, one knows the Workman. Variety is the spice of life. The weak in courage is strong in cunning. Handsome is as handsome does. Past and to come seem best: things present worse. Diffused knowledge immortalizes itself. Fame hath sometimes created something of nothing. I am monarch of all I survey. Time hath a wallet at his back. He is a man of action. And if we would speak true . . . Much to the man is do. Brevity is the soul of wit. Life wouldn't be worth living if we didn't keep our enemies. Silence is the most perfect herald of joy. A serene spirit is the source of all that is serene and good. His time is forever: everywhere his place. How hard it is for a woman to keep counsel. Good things come in small packages. Look before you leap. Little deeds make large returns. They are never alone that are accom- panied by noble thoughts. I can be pushed just so far . . . and then! They are only truly great who are truly good. No great man is ever born too soon or too late. She was ever precise in keeping promises. He blesses his stars and thinks it's luxury. The Hand that hath made you fair was good. 'Twere difficult to find a man . . . More patient, strong, or loyal true. Virtue is bold, and goodness never fearful. Good . . . bad . . . indifferent. A thing of beauty is a joy forever. He profits most who serves best. The pictures on the opposite page: 1. Happy in Love ..... 2. Anxious - It says here ..... 3. Book Worms? ..... 4.

These recognitions have been acquired through intensive study and work. Dorothy Kislack and Andrew Sterrett each enjoyed the honor of represent- ing Duquesne High School in the Merit Parade column of the Post-Gazette. Their pictures were accompanied by a brief summary of their school activities. Dorothy Kislack and Margaretta Kovac helped the Draft Board with their duties. Arline Hoyle's Unity for Victory essay received first place in the Senior High School and was sent to the Essay judges. ln the field of music there were many honors taken. Representing their Alma Mater at the Western State Orchestra Festival were Ollie Southard, William Hunt, Ioseph Firszt and Frank Yaroshuk. Frank and Ioseph also had the even greater honor of attending the state Orchestra Festival which was heldin Reading, Pa. In the vocal section of the music department there were two groups which did special numbers at the Spring Musical and at the exchange program. These groups were the girls' trio-Ruth Sundberg, Barbara Davis and lean Schorr-and the mixed quartet, Irene Demes, Ruth Crawford, Clifford Kasten and Thomas Menzies.

Lead roles were chosen by merit of voice, stage presence, and acting ability. The various choruses were grouped carefully from regular members of the Girls' Chorus, Boys' Chorus, and Mixed Chorus. The entire cast was composed of one hundred seventy- five boys and girls excluding thirty-five orchestra members and sixty-seven artists and stage hands. The leading characters were: General Aubrey Eugene Del..arme Maxime Grandre Yvette Millet Manon DeLange Ie-an LeFarge Thomas Menzies Earl Linn Casimer Poboieski Ruth Crawford Ruth Sundberg Edward Fatula Bob Finchley Captain Beloit Don Aurelio de Mendez Marquise de Villebois Countess Bellaire Ianette lavotte Chloe Lenore Pierre Clifford Kasten lack O'Donnell Eugene Sikora Barbara Davis Phyllis Hancox Mildred Trayche Agnes Begley lean Schorr Irene Demes Michael Tittinick ln addition to the commendable performances rendered by the lead char acters and choruses, exceptional scenery and costuming lent brilliant color to the spectacle. The real beauty in such an endeavor is the co-operation between student and teacher, artists and stage hands, musicians and actors. Only through such near-perfect co-ordination is such a presentation possible. Those who participated in any way in the production of The Mocking Bird may be truly proud of having taken part in it. 1' i' Ll A 5 LENSES was , .-vm 1 5 f .3 ff f Q.. v r Rs '4 x il 'G-, GJEQSENE '-iii 'W 4 J -.

Critically you have noted its many errors and, it is hoped, favorably noted its meager improvements and its small progress. You have before you all that could be used to reflect a true picture of the changes wrought by a year's time. But a book cannot tell of its own birth, even as you and I can tell nothing of our own beginning. The book is silent about the headaches, the laughter, the tears that it could not record. It does not mention the business sagacity of Mr. Henry, whose Whole-hearted co-operation made the book possible in its present form. About the long hours of Work and the professional skill of the typists, especially that of their adviser, Miss Robinson, the book is mute. The conferences, the meet- ings, the interviews with photographers, engraver and printer, for our adviser, Miss Reed, and the editor are not evident. Of the Herculean efforts of the Busi- ness Staff nothing is said. Few know that the work of the Art Staff was good enough to be entered in a national contest. Perhaps decorurn rules that these things remain unmentioned. But all these things are as surely a part of the book as the print and the paper. We feel safe, therefore, in violating a law of decorum to satisfy a law of justice. May the pictures and words ensnared on these pages be a constant source of enjoyment and a pleasant reminder of the happy days that were. gmrl izhxzg shall hurt .
