MISS FLORENCE DONLIN Miss Donlin hails from Meadville and is a booster of her home town. Mcadville, as you know, is an educational center yet Miss Donlin boasts of “scalps” from all its institutions. “Sheep skins” from Mcadville High, Allegheny College and Meadvilie Commercial College all decorate the walls of her room. Her special line of work is commercial. We are glad to note that Miss Donlin's services are rendered to the school in more ways than one. Her health hints to the girls are excellent to say the least. A few of these follow: “Never go on hazardous trips unless accompanied by a physician.” “In case of loneliness always consult a doctor.” “Never practice the arm movement when riding in a roadster.1 MISS EDICE REIDER The “dough boys” in France never were held in higher esteem than some “dough girls” in America. Needless to say Miss Reider was keenly disappointed at the government 's action in choosing male army cooks. There was particularly one regiment made up mostly by one particular individual to which Miss Reider would not have objected to have been assigned. From the reports of teachers and pupils from the domestic room, we do not hesitate to say that the regiment in question certainly would have been favored if Miss Reider would have had her desires. The teachers are all eager for Miss Reider s cooking day to come around. M iss Reider is a New Castle girl and a graduate of the four years' course at Margaret Morrison. Fifteen

MR. ISAAC PROSSER J. E. STREBIG Keep your scats ladies. Those in the front row kindly remove their hats so that the second row occupants can see. Introducing Strebig, the man of the hour about Hi School when anything is needed quickly, play producer par excellent, general property man when it cornea to constructing scenery for shows. Yes, he is married, but you wouldn't think it if you once saw how late he stays around the school building. Mr. Strebig is a graduate of Williamson Trade School and in addition to the many things stated above, finds time to take charge of the Industrial Education. Wales was certainly kind to us when she allowed our music teacher to depart, from her borders. Mr. Prosser has spent his many years in this country at his profession of musical instruction. Until this year he was engaged in private and church work, but he has entered his new field, that of public teaching, with as much enthusiasm and interest as was evident in his former efforts. The High school orchestra and the boys' and girls' Glee Clubs are under his supervision. We are glad to see the results of his instruction because of the joy that music brings to us. Fourteen

A Few Words of Commendation Before progressing we think it appropriate that some mention should be made of our teachers as a group and of their interest in each of us as students here. The spirit of each teacher to each other and to the entire school is commendable in every respect. Never in the history of our High School has a corps of teachers worked together so harmoniusly and energetically. Careful always of another’s feelings and seeking ever to lend a hand, they have shown us students that it is really possible for men and women to work together peaceably and profitably. This, indeed, has reflected upon the school. The students, using as a model the spirit of the teachers, have developed a spirit of fairness and interest such as is seldom seen in a High school. Many activities in the way of literary and social events have been added to our high school life. The teachers have entered into these affairs with such enthusiasm and zeal that they have made the students feel closer to them and to the school. We appreciate life much more when we feel that our lives are appreciated, so here, we have more cause to appreciate our teachers when we 1 feel that our teachers appreciate us and are willing to use so much of their time to make us happy. The success of our literary society is due to our teachers and their tireless efforts in going over our work with us, our plays to their faithful services and eareful instruction, our dances and parties to their regular attendance and helpful suggestions at all times. Of course wc wish to grow and wish our old school to grow in like manner. This necessarily will add new members to our faculty, but with the coming of the new, we hope only for renewed spirit such as is evident at present. Thus we feel that there should always be a place on our high school faculty for each of its present members. As we pass from these halls as students we shall carry with us something that was learned not from our books, but from our daily lives with our teachers, and that is: “A life of service is a life worthy to have been lived.” Sixteen
