The coming of another June tide marks The going of another class from these, Our l-ligh School portals. Now the time has come When we must bid farewell to student work And welcome all the greater tasks of life. Dear friends, in this volume we show to thee A passing glimpse of what our class has done, A category of our work and play, A history, and yet, behind it all, A picture of the entire living school. 2 Sept Sept Sept.

'15 l C' 4 4 4 infurral What are you going to do when you leave Georges High ? If you are going on to school have you chosen your college yet 'I A college education is something that no one should miss. A high school course followed by four successful years in college offers the best equipment for success in life. The student is older, wiser and more fitted to be thrown upon his own responsibility. There is a much broader field open to college graduates. A person suddenly forced to take up his life work immediately after high school finds the range of possible opportunities very narrow. Now is the time to make up your mind which college you will enter, whether it shall be a large or a small one. Do you want to go to school in a small town or in a large city ? Questions of these kind must be decided, and it is a problem to know which college will give you what you Want. Every ambitious student wishes to prepare himself for some line of activity for his life work, whether professional or industrial. The problem that every student has to face is : what am I best suited for ? In order to find a solution of that problem you should get a general survey of the numerous fields of occupation. You should make your choice of a career and then try and find the best possible method of preparation for that particular selection. - This will not only aid you in preparing for further study in college or elsewhere, but it is also to help you to find a position in the business world after graduation.

T. H. S. as Freshmen bent upon graduation from High School. The Upper Classmen called us Greenies but we studied hard and finally succeeded in dispelling our distinguishing quality. The next year an even dozen returned as Sophomores. We were all glad to return after our vacation and to realize that the first milestone of our educational journey had been passed. We took part in the school play given in our Sophomore yearg also at the close of the term we gave a re- ception for the Seniors. In theufall of 1921 sixteen students assembled, in the halls of learning at Georges High School. as Juniors. The class was now divided, part of them taking the general course, the others taking up Commercial work. Fifteen were promoted while one deserted the ranks. Last Fall twenty again renewed friendship. We were glad to welcome seven new members, three of whom came from Smithfield. So it may seem that there will be more graduated than there were that took up the trials and temptations of Freshmen. We might now consider the social side of our high school days. Many happy times have we enjoyed at our numerous parties and picnics. In our Junior year we gave a box social. We are always up and doing in literary societies and athletics. We boast of two varsity basketball players. The many readings, essays and debates given by the members of our class have been of great value. Now as our Senior year draws to a close we are practicing for the annual Senior Class Play. At last in the year 1923 we have reached our goal, graduation. We came to this school to obtain higher ideals and broader views on all of the many problems of life confronting us. This high school course has better prepared the members of the class of '23 to fit into their niche in life. It matters not how much book knowledge we have acquired if we have but learned the ideas of decency and righteousness. The world does not ask you how much you know but what is your character, ability, and disposi- tion. Thanking the teachers and pupils for kindness shown to us, we bid you adieu for the last time in High School. Wisdom is a defence, And money is a defence 5 But the excellency of knowledge . Is that wisdom giveth life to them that hath it. -WA YNE SCHWAB, '23. 24 Senior Class Poem ...l.. -.1 W6,1'6 about to the end of our High School days, Just a few more months to spend. I We've completed our tasks in many ways And now these days will end. S0 in future days when we grow old, And begin to live in repose. We'll remember our colors as Blue and Gold And our flower as a large White Rose. But our memories still willilinger 'Ihese days we can't forget, And in future days we'll wonder About the loving friends we've met. The hour for parting is drawing near And we all have hopes to win, So, we'll follow our motto everywhere, We finish but to begin. We'll climb to higher levels Though our paths may be steep and dark. Farewell, to the class of '23, For the best of friends must part.

Now these are the names of the members of the tribes that did report on that day: Garolus, otherwise known as Sibert, son ot' Jepthe, a sheep-herder. Daniel .otherwise known as Swaney. son of Ferdi- nand, a farmer. Theodore, known as Pinkos. son of Abigail, a water carrier. Benjamin. or VVilson, son of Shobal, a cartman. Barbara, or Kasonovic, daughter of liozo, a fifer. Dorothy, daughter of Hans. a goose-herder. Evelyn, or McDowell, daughter of llagar, a pedagogue. Leona, or Reese, daughter of Malachi, a warrior. Martha. or Dailey, daughter of Noah, a woodoutter. Hetha, or Smith, daughter of Abi- nadab, a pugilist. Mildred, or Blosser, daughter of Beriah. a horse jockey. Eleanor, or Thomas, daughter of Maria, a chimney-sweep. Edna, or Harvey, daughter of Moses, a junk dealer. Myra, or Thomas, daughter of Saul, a base-ball pitcher. Christine, or Thompson, daugh- ter of Eliza, a 'hod carrier. VVillie, or Redmond, son of Pete, a horse Doctor. Mabel, or Fields, daughter of Susan, a railroad engineer. Fred, or Hague, son of Emanuel, a clown. Now, when these members came unto this place they were in- deed, very green, so green were they that when they came over the hills in the morning they gave a greenish tint to the sun rays as it fell upon the land. Moreover this crowd of knowledge seekers were sorely afflieted with ignorance. Indeed, very grievous was the af- fliction. But after many strenuous weeks of labor these pilgrims did snow vague signs of improvement. And the members of the faculty after serious debate did determine that each and every member of the tribe of Freshmen should be promoted to the group of tlwise fools or sophomores. Now, on the 5th day of the 9th month of the year of 1922, one, Theodore Pinlos became grievously afflicted with anti-school virus and did maliciously and premediately withdraw from the tribe of Freshmen and betook himself unto the tribe of hod-carriers and truck 36 it drivers in habiting the coke yards in York Run. There was much weeping and gnashing of teeth amongst the daughters of the tribe because of the absence of the fair Pinkos. Especially did Mable, daughter of Susan bewail the absence of her fair one. Then, there came amongst us Fred, son of Emanuel, a clown, who began making things lively for the tribe. His advent was a bless- ing to the tribe, for the fair maidens forgot Theodore in their adora- tion of Fred. So these boys and maidens wandered through the year of ttVVise foolsil without mishap until near the end of the term when great dis- satisfaction arose in the tents of the tribe concerning the annual feast, known as the annual picnic. After much fighting and unholy argu- ment these did agree to postpone said feast until another year. Then in the year of 1922, the tribe again assembled in the halls of G. T. ll. S. as jolly Juniors. Fred, son of Emanuel hetook himself from the old tribe and joined a new tribe, and is new attendingschool in Monessen-. Myra, daughter of Saul, joined our tribe and became one of our members. Huey, Son of Belshazzer, joined the tribe of Fog Foundry workers near VVymps Gap. VVillie, Son of Pete, decided to cast his fortune in the district of Georges instead of following the pro- fession of his ancestors he is going to join the tribe known as f'tusk pullers, otherwise known as Dentists. Now Christine, daughter of Eliza, left her happy home in Kentucky in order to be a member of the class ot' 'QL . Now all these important members of the various tribes having been iinally drawn together for common interests, proclaimed Daniel, Son of Ferdinand, a farmer, the grand worshipful presiding officer in this the third year of the tribe's existence. This being easily accom- plished, the tribe then proceeded to proclaim ltetlia. daughter of Abin- dab. a pugilist. chief Scribe. Dorothy, daughter of Hans, a goose- herder, as keeper of the tribe treasures. These things having been accomplished with great labor and ex- ertion, Garolus, son of Jepthe, a sheep-herder, most seriously weakened of all, called for food and the other members ol' the tribe hearing this call with one voice gave the same assent. NVhereupon the grand wor- shipful presiding otiicer announced the feast to take place on the first moonlight night after the first full moon in the month of May to which each and every member shall come with overflowing baskets. Retha Smith, 524. 37 I I l unior Class Poem We'll pass this way but once, my classmates dear, Since this you know is our third year. We all have passed two years you know And may We ever onward go. VVe hope to pass this year as well And when wc leave may our work tell VVhat we learned at G. T. H. S. To lead us on to great success. VN7l19H We have gained our stand in life And think of all our toll and strife, Let's trust in God our friend so dear To lead us on from year to year. And when we lay us down to sleep May angels watch o'cr all us keep, Until before our God We come And hope to hear him say Well done. Martha Dailey, '24 38 JUNIOR SKITS LEONA REESE Leona is one of those who never worry. Consequently, it matters not how difficult a lesson may be, she takes it as a matter of course, does the best she can, and waits for the rest to happen. We understand she is serious in her friendship with the preach- er's son and is considering missionary work. MARTHA DAILEY Sometimes we must look twice to see if she is present. Very quiet and small. Her thoughts seem to soar to things in other realms. . lt is reported that she is a man-hater, but, then we know of a yoiiz'-'Z' farmer lad who is very attentive. DANIEL SVVANEY VVell, what have we here? One, who started to High as a mere boy. But, what a man he is getting to be. Hc's even a lady's man. fHer name is Maudej. Dan strives to out-do Clay or Webster in argu- ment. On the Basket Ball floor he just naturally will run a man air- less. MILDRED BLOSSER A daughter of the blond family. Mildred is one of the popular young ladies of the class. They tell us that the worst hours of her life are spent in the domestic science room, for, although good in other school subjects, she draws the line when it comes to making biscuits. Let us hope it is only temporary. BARBARA KASANOVIC As unpretentious as a wild rose, she is serious and industrious and we wish her all success which we know must come to those who persevere. She talks little but says much. RETHA SMITH Her ways are ways of pleasantnessf' This quotation describe Retha pretty well. The fates bestowed upon her many good gifts. She has her share of good looks and naturally attracts many admirers and among these Horace is the big chief. We understand that she is deeply interested in Domestic Science, and are also aware of the fact that Horace has been known to wash the dishes. CHARLES SIBERT Here is a small specimen of humanity who though size is against, attracts much attention on the Basket Ball floor and at practice he is never a minus quantity. We hope that we may be able to say of him, that, Good goods are wrapped in small packages. A WILLIAM. REDMoND This young man started his High School career at Fifth Ave. High, Pittsburgh. He was a welcome addition to the Basket Ball team. 39 VVhen it comes to diving into the fracas to recover the ball or solving the unsolvable Geometry problems, Willie is on the job. DOROTHY GAINS HTrue hearted, Whole hearted, faithful and loyal, that's what we have to say of this industrious young lady. We have known her to place a substantial bet that she would never marryl, but from the fact that she is so industrious in her Domestic Science Work we fear she will lose the wager. . MYRA THOMAS Myra joined our ranks this year. She is quiet and unobtrusive. You must see her to know that she is around. Always willing to take part where she is needed and we feel sure her general usefulness Will make her a success wherever she goes. EYELYX MCDOVVELL Although Evelyn is a great worker and always has high grades she is by no means a book worni. She has high ideals and some day We hope to hear of her as a great success. Her smiles and disposition have gained for her many friends. VVe know this, we'll help her along in her undertakings. EDNA HARVEY - Edna is one among us, if no other, who seems to be interested in her studies. Very quiet and does not talk much. She can be de- pended upon, for, seldom do we find her a failure in her classes, or whatever she may be asked to do. CHRISTINE THOMPSON Having joined our class in the Junior year we find her a very prom- ising student, and a welcome addition to our class. A good student who will make her way in the world. I MABEL FIELDS ttSlovv and steady wins the race. Mabel has been with us from the first and we have found in her one of those steady easy-going stud- ents who has held a place among the best students of the class. ELEANOR THOMAS She is another of those girls that have very little to say. VVe find hor a willing worker and interested mainly in Domestic Science which we suppose she intends to put to practical use some day. -40 9 fieg 1' - Sa ' 3 , 5 Q mu Ili? x p F1 s 1 Emi? 5 i3OPHUMUF3E5 Class Flower . .

Some of these events bring sad- ness, others joy and gladness. tThe world's history is a divine poem.t This definition of history, which James A. Garheld gave, is excellent, and permit me to say, it applies readily to the sophomore class. VVe, in- deed, are a great class. VVith our musicians, reciters, actors. histori- ans and other notables, we have made ti. T. H. S. more fa-mous than in the past. A ' On the first of September. 1921, exactly five dozen of us 'came rolling in through the great entrance of education. Like so many eggs -we certainly were fresh, but it was a gre-at question in our minds, tit' we had anyj whether our skulls had sufficient hard shells to warrant permission to remain. During this year we gained all the vast store of knowledge, which is responsible for any topheaviness one may notice about us now . One by one our members kept dropping out until forty-four passed examinations for Sophomores. Through the summer still others lost the educational fever, and at the beginning of this term only thirty-five came back. Of those who departed from G .T. H. S. seine have gone to other school, others have gone into the world to take up life's struggles. VVherever they may be. we wish them success, and are proud to know that those who have entered other schools, stand as honored members in their classes. ln return for the lost ones, we also have received members from other schools. As a class, as anyone can tell you, we are socially inclined. Dur- ing our Vresliman year we had many gay and exciting times. At the annual HalloWe'cn party, our class was well represented. This term, on account of the growth et' the school, we have separate, class parties. The Sophomore class has had a Christmas party and have been well represented in the Juniors and Seniors parties. The freshmen were very kind in inviting us to the Valentine party which they held. VVe are not going to be the smallest element in contribution to or repre- sentation in the picnic this coming spring. . ln athletics our class excclls all others, one member making the Varsity and three others as t'subs.'7 It is to the Sophomore class that G. T. ll. S. owes much of its glory, honor and fame. The girls as well as the boys are active in basketball. VVe are indeed verv iroud of our class both in social affairs and athletics. VVe now thank the teachers, taxpayers and board of' education for making it possible for us to acquire a high school education. VVe hope the next two years will be as pleasant as the last two. VVith these few rambling remarks, we bid adieu until another year. .

Of those seventy, fifty-eight remain. A few stayed only long enough to get acquainted with their teach- ers and classmates, while others finding the work might cause them a little mental exertion, decided not to risk such hazards. At first we were very timid and looked up to the upper classmen as if they were supernatural beings, but now, on account of our large number, we are one of the important factors of the school. What a time we had until we were settled! The making out of our classification, the borrowing of pencils until we made a copy of the program, the waiting in line to receive our books. All seemed an endless task. The next day we found more trials in store for us. How many were there who entered the wrong room by mistake and were politely informed by a few Superior Seniors that the Freshman class room was just next door. VVe met the first of October and elected officers and chose a class flower, motto and color. Un the sixteenth of February we held a Valentine party which was such a success that we hope to hold many more social events during our remaining years at this school. We shall take this means of thanking the faculty for what they have done for us, and we will try to prove to them that their efforts have not been in vain. VVe also wish to thank the Sophomores for their kindness toward the green and unsophisticated Freshmen as we were dubbed by the Seniors. We appreciate their kindness in including us in their social events. Now as our school year is about to close we hope that we may not falter but well reach the goal for which we are striving, and we sin- cerely hope that when we have finished our high school course that the school will have a higher standard than when we entered, and that we will leave with the good will of our underclassmen rather than have them look forward to and anticipate our departure.

The course is so organized as to give the student completing it the essen- tials required in whatever commercial work he may take up. During the first two years of the course other academic work is taken up and not until the final two years are the commercial branches taught. The school term ot' 1922-1923 has been a very productive year. ln September, 1922, the students started with an interest that has never waned, and their work has been well and faithfully done. At present, the equipment of the department is equal to that of the best equipped commercial departments. Every typewriter has been replaced with the latest Remington model. Three Burroughs Adding and Calculating Machines of different types have been added, these along with filing cabinets and the best of text books give the depart- ment ample working material. Throughout the year interest ran high in the typewriting classes. Every member of the senior class has drawn the Remington award for efficiency. The seniors defeated the seniors of the South Union Township High School in a series of five contests. Two tests were written at South Union School and three at Georges. The contests were well Written by both teams. and the Georges contestants earned a well deserved victory by winning three of the five tests. Bookkeeping is begun in the Sophomore year. The aim in this work is to give a thorough course of office practice and introduction into bookkeeping during the Sophomore year, and then in the Junior year the advanced bookkeeping is taken. The Sophomore Class has done some excellent work. Most of the class are good penmen which is the highest asset of a bookkeeper. Gregg Shorthand is studied during the junior and senior years. In the junior year the Gregg Manual is mastered. Supplementary exercises and Speed Studies are additional textbooks used. In the senior year the manual is reviewed. Reigner's Dictation Course in Business Literature, Speed Studies, and Constructive Dictation are all studied. The commercial subject that baptizes the Freshmen is Commer- cial Arithmetic and Rapid Calculations. A Hne class of forty-two be- gan the year and thirty-five yet remain with a strangle hold upon the essentials. Penmanship. Spelling, Business Correspondence, Commercial Geo ra ihv and Commercial Law all have a .lace in the course. 8 I . ln this course a student can work with every advantage a commer- cial course can offer and if the work is faithfully pursued and com- pleted opportunities will not be lacking Harry J.

And each successive term it has become better, and each year a class ot' well trained literary students are de- veloped. During the last year of its operation many improvements have been made and several new customs have been establishd. The Georgian Society along with the Emerson have worked to- gether in friendly rivalry for the past three years. A very interesting program is given every week, the two societies alternating. The en- tire school is present at each of these meetings. The program con- sists in essays, orations, and debates. The two societies have profited greatly in recent years through their increase in membership. Each year they are benefited by the addition of a large freshman class. In no department of the school have the Georgians been found wanting. In recitations, in society, and in athletics we have always maintained a high record. Never yet has our high standard been low- ered but waving in the bright atmosphere of courage and hope, it has ever stood for all that is loyal and true and in this way has been a credit to our school. I Horace Montgomery, 523. 64 History of Emerson Literary Society 1-i.ll..- On Oct. 4, 1920, the pupils of G. T. H. S. were summoned to a meeting in the Commercial room. The purpose of the meeting, we found, was to organize Literary Societies. Our members chose the name t'Emerson, in honor of the great American poet and essayist, Ralph Waldo Emerson. This name in- spires us and helps us to at least make an effort to perform what service , we may he asked to render to the society. Each year the society has grown, not only in number. but also wiser, for we know what we must do and how. Every two weeks our society renders a program, in which our members present delightful and entertaining recitations. debates, essays, histories, etc. The t'Emerson Jewel, a humorous and inter- esting society paper is read by one of the members at this meeting. VVe will admit that for a time this winter interest in the society lagged. Both the Emersons and Georgian:-s failed to present a program, l The enthusiasm ot' every loyal Emerson was aroused when it was stated that the Emerson Society still held a spark ot' life and would i again present a program. Un March 2, we gathered in the Auditorium and listened to a fine program. VVe are sure that never again i11 our history shall the society he allowed to die out, although the few shirk- P. l ers may try their best to kill it. VVe are on our feet and we shall stand firmly. l The purpose of our society is to develop what talents we may pos- sess. Perhaps some one among us may possess a talent which they did not know that they possessd, and by presenting this to their school- mates. suddenly realize that they have a talent. which if developed might at sometime enable them to give the world something great and fine. Literary is also educational. Many questions in the form of de- bates. are discussed which give us different views upon subjects we had thought dry and uninteresting and which causes us to think and 1 form our own opinions. Not only in debates, but by histories, essays, etc.. are educational subjects brought to our minds. Many times we remember things that have been told to us in Literary much longer than if we had read it many, manyltimes from a book upon which our minds were not centered and nothing can be accomplished by lack of , concentration. - l On the whole Literary helps and should he upheld and encouraged , in all schools for the benefit of the pupils. - Mildred Blosser. 724. 65 , .

EN C SCIENCE KITCH MESTI O D Home Economics Every year Home Economics is becoming a more important subject in the curriculum of high schools, common schools, night schools, continuation schools, vocational colleges and universities. At tirst this course merely meant cooking and sewing but 'gradually it has come to mean much more than that. Now this course includes not only cooking and sewing but courses in Household Management, Dict- ics and Nutrition, Household Decoration, Chemistry of Foods, Hygiene, Physiology, Costume and Design, Textiles and History of Cooking. At present there are scarcely any up to the minute high schools that do not include at least cooking and sewing in their course of study. For a long time people questioned the advisability of teaching cooking and sewing to our girls and boys in the high school. If we but look back over history we Gnd that the question of food and clothing is inextricably bound with progress and civilization. Each step or im- provement in the food and clothing of a people denoted a step in their civilization. So if these things are so intertwined with the making of progress they surely ought to be taught in our schools. Let us go back for a bit and look how our subjects of Home Econ- omics are shown to be 'connected with the progress of man. First we had pre-historic man, the earliest knowledge we have of man, he had no knowledge of tools or fire. Then! comes the Mliarlv Stone Age, man had some little knowledge of fire, his food consisted of vegetables and meal. eaten raw. During the Hllate Stone Age, man had tire pretty well under control and cooked his food. During this age he also did spinning, weaving, tilling of the soil, making of pottery and raising of stock. This then brings us to the lowest stage of civilization called Sav- agcryf' By this time man had invented some simple weapons such as the bow and arrow and was better able to control the food supply. He also had learned the necessity of the storing of food for future use. As man then enters the stage of Barbarism, he is making use of metal to the extent of having a rude iron plow drawn by animals. This furthered the production of crops and also necessitated the taming and breeding of animals. It isn't until civilization has been reached that we really come to 68 r ! ! crude methods of cooking. At first cereals were eaten raw and whole, then they were ground into meals and eaten raw or dried in the sun. Gradually they learned to roast the cereal or bake it in pits with heated stones or make it into mush or griddle cakes. VVhen a pot was used hot stones were put into the pots. Like the cereals the meats were at first eaten raw then it was thrown directly on the fire. Later some one discovered the use of a stick to hold the meat over the flame. From this idea the spit was developed. Some tribes buried the meat in embers or daubed it in mud and then buried it in the embers. The -first cooking utensils were made of the skins of mammals. These were followed by the pot or soapstone or other pottery which was set di- rectly on the fire. The food supply of the uncivilized man of today is very different from the food supply in the civilized countries of the world. There are some tribes found in Central Africa and the island of the sea that have not passed the stage of barbarism. Their food consists of corn, rice, barley, acorns, cereals, nuts, dates, Hgs, olives, grapes, cherries and seeds of plants. Food also plays a part in the literature of the past. We find refer- ences to it in poems, plays, religious and legal restrictions. There are many poems on old Roman feasts. Thus if we traced the history of clothing we find that in the same manner as food it plays an important part in the progress of man and can not be separated from his development. However it took a long time until these subject of cooking and sewing were added to the curriculum of our high schools. Now people realize their value in the preparation of the boy as well as the girl for life. ln this day and age every one should have some knowledge of the kind of food that their body needs. Many times both boys and girls are called upon to select their food, maybe only for a meal, but they should have some idea of what a well balanced meal consists. At some future time every boy as well as every girl hopes to have a home and family of their own. VVill they makea more or less efficient husband or wife for having some knowledge of how to clothe themselves, take care of the sick, the feeding of children and a few principles of cook- ing? For some time the sole idea of teaching cooking and sewing in the schools was to prepare the girls for future home makers. This is still one of the important points but we also realize that every girl and boy whether or not they expect to have a home of their own should know something about things which they will constantly need to keep on living. An education is knowledge which prepares us for life and makes us good citizens. Therefore we should know something of these essen- tial food and clothing. . E. La Rue Unger.

A disposition to obey laws and a tendency to enter into the life of a community for its betterment. The student is to be not only a voted and a subject of the laws but he is also to be a member of a family which is the foundation of all govern- ment. He is to be a worker, engaged in some occupation which will be of use to society and will maintain in his own independence and respect. He is to contribute to civilization wherever he may be. Training for this must develop the power of observationQ analysis with respect to what makes a social situation. The chief business of the school is to train for this type of citizenship and is a controlling factor in the development of education today. To do this, civics must be socialized, adapted to fit the needs of the student. Every pupil has an interest of some kind in his physical condition, the wel- fare of his community, and family, these are the reasons that government exists. Civic education is not merely acquiring information about one's com- munity and its governmentj It is a process of growth on the part of the pupil of cultivation the qualities of good citizenship. To cultivate these qualities there must be interest, motive, co-operation, judgment and initia- tive on the part of the student. A child that is learning to walk must walk in order to learn. A student acquiring the qualities of a citizen must live or experience their civics in the school community and as far as pose sible in the community outside of school. ' -A. A.

The reason that this minor sport occupies the limelight here is because the pursuance of the Major Sport of Football and Baseball is made difficult by certain local conditions which time and the concerted efforts by the School will be needed to overcome. Incidentally football made some little progress this year but lack of equipment and lukewarm support by the students soon caused it to be abandoned. Baseball was attempted last year on a small scale. One game was played with North Union which resulted in a score of 7-3 in favor of the visiting team. The outlook for the coming season in this sport is not very promising, and it would not be surprising to find that Georges will find herself without a representative on the diamond. Basketball this year has been of added interest on account of the formation of an inter-scholastic League consisting of practically all the High Schools in Fayette county. The league oflicials classified the schools into groups and drew up a schedule of the games to be played among the members of each group with the understanding that the members of each section or group would be matched in an elimination series to determine the league champion. Georges is a member of the group consisting of Point Marion, Smithfield, and Fairchance. The following men represented the school in basketball : Montgom- ery, captain and centerg Sibert, forwardg Tippen, forwardg Swaney, for- wardg Redmond, guard 5 Conn, guardg Matthews. utility player. Too much credit cannot be given to the boys for the creditable showing that they have made, especially when they have been handicapped by a small floor and by an insufficient number of practice sessions. The opening game was played with Point Marion on the latter's floor. The Georges players seemed to be confused and lost on the smooth and unusually large floor. The result wasfan easy victory for Point Marion, the game ending 40-20 in their favor. Nevertheless the boys were not dis- heartened and returned to school with a firm determination to remove the stigma of that defeat. It was with this attitude that they went into the remainder of their league games and completed their schedule without another defeat. This string of victories included a return game with Point Marion, which Georges easily won by the score of 33-26. Thus the season 74 ended in a tie between Georges and Point Marion, each having won five games and lost one. The deciding game between the two schools was played at Redstone on Tuesday evening, March 20. Georges made a miser- able showing in the test game and their opponents romped away with a 30-17 victory. Five games were played outside of the league. Two with German Town- ship, two with South Union, and one with Redstone. The Redstone game was very disastrous for Georges Township. Several reasons might be given in support of the pitiable exhibition of basketball played by Georges in that game, but the most impressive feature was the one-sided score of 63-23 in favor of Redstone. The German Township games were both exciting and fast, and a good brand of basketball was played by both sides. Each school won their home game. South Union put up the least resistance of any of the outside teams and Georges won both games by a comfortable margin. Although the season closed with the discouraging Redstone defeat, Georges as a whole feels that the season was a very successful one, and the following summary certainly justifies their conclusion : A Date Opponent Where Played.

So much in fact that, although it is a part of every school program, the idea prevalent in the minds of people is that languages are non-essential in comparison with other school subjects. A majority of pupils reject the study of languages. Is it because of the difficulty of the study ?. The more exact reason is the failure to catch an insight into the real value of both modern and extinct languages. In speaking of the importance of languages one fact stands out promi- nently. Since the beginning of learning, language has been the founda- tion upon which education is based. A slight review of the past shows the beginning of language study in Greece. The Grecian lad was taught his own language. To learn to read or to write from the Grecian alphabet was as difficult for him as any Latin lesson is hard for the modern pupil. Imperfect as may have been thfs beginning, the Greek saw a need for learning and placed emphasis upon reproduction of Grecian ideas and pro- gress by means of language. The interest in this subject increased. Then Latin colonies began to get a foothold in the Grecian peninsula and con- tinued to do so until Grecian power gave way to Roman rule. But the Roman was just as far sighted as the Greek and learning continued with even more vigor. For a length of time the Greek language continued to keep pace with the Latin but in course of years Creek died out and Latin became the predominant language taught. Roman colonization spread the Latin language to all parts of the then known world. Even after the fall of the Roman Empire it was still spoken. The Barbarians from the north, conquerors of Rome, mingled with the Roman people and from that mingling of dialects sprang new languages. To-day Romanic countries-Spain. France and Italy--have drawn their code from the Latin. In speech they go back directly to the Latin and these languages are the tongues of South American countries as well as of European nations. The Englishlanguage which is spoken throughout a large part of the civilized world, has received so many additions from Romanic sources that to-day We scarcely utter a sentence Without using a 77 word once used by citizens of Rome. And yet .... Why study Latin ? Even after the arise of new languages Latin remained a fixed study in the curriculum. With the growth of Christianity came the critical period, scholars were no longer content with the study of Latin. A re- search of the Greek language was made and old Greek Literature and alphabet was resurrected. Here was a new step in education. It was a desire to know something of the past, to understand former people, their customs and their language. As the Romance languages began to c me to the front the use of Latin defined and finally it became extinct as a spoken language. However, the use of Latin and Greek as stu lIes con- tinue. Through them we can get a knowledge of the early l1'stJ1'y of lan- guages. By the close of the fourteenth century a great change had taken place on the European continent. There had been a rapid growth in the educational system. German science and trade established a need for the study of German. The first modern language took its place in the curric- ulum. Likewise within the last decade French became an important lan- guage for study. The advent of the War caused increased enthusiasm in its use. During the war commercial relations with Spain and especially South American countries made a study of Spanish urgent. What then, is the importance of language study ? Without it the modern citizen cannot intelligently exist upon the knowledge of the lan- guages of diierent peoples depend the progress of civilization. An insight into the ideals of one another through their languages he'ps ration to understand nation. The dead languages link us with the past, a study of modern languages makes possible a more enjoyable and prosperous present and a more vivid future. -MIRIAM TAYLOR. 78 V Pm ' 2.5. I 'I 'C' IIUUI..

To this end we have attempt- ed to reproduce some of the stories connected with the early days of South Western Penn- sylvania. -EDITOR. 85 A LAD KILLS A RED-CRESTED GOBBLER l:-ooo-si In Wood county, West Virginia, a man had a son, twelve years of age, who had been used to firing his father's gun, as most boys did in those days. He heard, he supposed, turkeys on or near the bank of the Ohio, and asked his father to let him take the gun and kill one. His father, knowing that the Indians frequently decoyed people by such noises, refused, saying it was probably an Indian. When he had gone to work, the boy took the gun and paddled his canoe over the river, but had the precaution to land some distance from where he had heard the turkey all the morning, prob- ably from fear of scaring the game, and perhaps a little afraid of Indians. The banks were steep, and the boy cautiously advanced to where he could see without being seen. Watching a while for his game, he happened to see an Indian cau- tiously looking over a log, to notice where the boy had landed. The lad fixed his gun at a rest, watching the place Where he had seen the Indian's head, and when it appeared again, fired and the Indian disappeared. The boy dropped the gun and ran for his canoe, which he paddled over the river as soon as possible. When he reached home, he said, Mother, I have killed an Indian I and the mother replied, No, you have not. Yes, I have, said the boy. The father coming in, he made the same report to him, and received the same reply, but he constantly aiiirmed it was even so, and, as the gun was left, a party took the boy over the river to find it and show the place where he shot the Indian, and, behold, his words were found verified. The ball had entered the head, where the boy aflirmed he shot, between the eye and ear. 86 GEORGE BOZARTH'S RUSE AND ESCAPE -i-:-oo0A:HL- The last incursion of savages in Northwestern Virginia happened in 1794. A murderous band appeared on Wheeling Creek. Expresses were sent all about to warn the people, but they had been so long exempt from savage marauders. that a false security was engendered. Among other careless settlers, John Bozarth, with his sons, George and John, were busy in a field drawing grain to the barn,,when the agonizing shrieks of those at the house rent the air, and they hastened to ascertain the cause. The elasticity of youth enabled George to approach the huts? some few paces in advance of his father, but the practiced eye of the all gzi- tlemanfirst discovered an Indian, only a smallldistance from this son, and with, his gun raised to fire upon him. With parental solicitude .he exclaimed, Take.care, George, an Indian is going to shoot you I George was then too near the savage to think of escaping byttlight. He looked at him steadily, and when he supposed the fatal aim was taken and the finger ,just pressing the trigger, he fell. and the ball whistled by him. Not doubting but that the youth had 'fallen in death, the savage passed by him and pressed in pursuit of the father. Mr. Bozarth was yet springy and agile, and was enabled to keep ahead of his pursuer. Despairing of overtaking him, by reason of his great speed, the savage hurled a toma- hawk at his head. It passed harmlessly by, and the old gentleman got safely off. When George Bozarth fell as the Indian fired, he lay as if dead, and supposing the scalping knife would be next applied to his head, determined on seizing the savage by the legs as he would stoop over him, and endeavor to bring him to the ground, when he hoped to be able to gain the mastery over him. Seeing him pass on in pursuit of his father, he arose and took Hight also. On his way he overtook a younger brother, who had become alarmed and was hobbling slowly away on a sore foot. George gave him every aid in his power to facilitate his flight, until he discovered that another of the savages was pressing close upon them. Knowing that if he remained with his brother, both must inevitably perish, he was reluctantly forced to leave him to his fate. Proceeding on, he came up with his fatheri who, not doubting but he was killed when the savage fired at him, broke forth with the exclamation, Why, George, I thought you were dead I and manifested, even in that sorrowful moment, a joyful feeling at his mis- take. The Indians who were at the house wrought their work of blood, killing two or three small children and took Mrs. Bozarth and two boys prisoners. With these they made their way to their towns, and arrived in time to surrender their captives to General Wayne. 87 THE WETZEL FAMILY -l :-0oo- :-1 The Wetzel family was of Dutch origin and the first of the name to be found on the Southwestern border was John Wetzel. This John Wetzel had five sons : Martin, George, John, Jacob and Lewis. The whole of this Wetzel family were hunters and Indian fighters, but the most daring and reckless of all, and the one who has left the great- est name on the Western border, was Lewis Wetzel. We will not have the space to give any details concerning any of the other brothers of the Wetzel family in this story, but Lewis, the youngest of the family. Without Lewis Wetzel the story of Northwestern Virginia and of Southwestern Pennsylvania would be like the plays of Hamlet with Hamlet left out. His presence was a tower of strength to the settlers, and for many years he was esteemed the right arm of their defence. With most of the pioneers of the West, Indian fighting was only an episode-frequent- ly a compulsory one-but with Wetzel it was a life business. Again we do not have the space to give anything much of the life of Lewis Wetzel. We have selected from amongst the many daring fights of this great hunter and Indian fighter, one which we think should 'stamp him as the most remarkable man of his day on the Western border. The following story will illustrate his resources, his cunning and his bravery. s Shortly after Crawfordis defeat, a man named Thomas Mills, in es- caping from that unfortunate expedition, reached the Indian spring about nine miles from the present town of Washington, Pennsylvania, where he was compelled to leave his horse and proceed to Van Metre's Fort. There he met Lewis Wetzel whom he persuaded to go with him to the spring for his horse. Lewis cautioned him against the danger, but Mills was deter- mined, and the two started. As they neared the spring they saw the horse tied to a tree. Lewis was at once on his guard and tried to persuade Mills not to approach the animal, but Mills was determined that he would secure the horse and laughed at the idea of danger. He walked boldly up to his horse and began to untie him when the report from four rifles rang through the forest and Mills fell mortally wounded. Lewis realized at once that his only safety was in flight and he sprang ran until the foremost Indian was within a short distance of him, when he shot the Indian through the body. Lewis had early learned to load through the forest rapidly with the three Indians in close pursuit. He 88 his gun as he ran. This accomplishment was to save him now. After shooting the foremost -Indian he started again to run through the forest loading his gun as he ran. After it had been charged he slackened his pace until the second Indian was close upon him when he resolved to shoot himg but the Indian was so close that he grasped the gun and now began a struggle for the possession of the weapon. The Indian almost succeeded in wrenching the gun from Lewis's hands but by a desperate effort he jerked the rifle back until the muzzle of the gun rested against the body of the Indian when Lewis pulled the trigger and the Indian fell. Lewis again away with the remaining two Indians in pursuit. When his gun was again loaded he stopped suddenly and sprang behind a tree, anxious to have done with this kind of sport, but the Indian also treed. Lewis sprang away again with the Indian in pursuit. After running a shork distance he suddenly sprang behind a large tree. The Indians also attempted to tree but the foremost Indian was unable to find a tree large enough to shelter his entire body. Wetzel fired at the portion of the body exposed and the third Indian fell. The remaining Indian made an imme- diate retreat, yelling as he went, No catch dat man, him gun all way loaded. This adventure proved Lewis Wetzel to be one of the most resourceful Indian fighters of his day. ' 89 I COLONEL WILLIAM CRAWFORD -?:-ooo- : In 1782 and '83 the settlers in around Pittsburgh were greatly demor- alized by Indian raids and massacres. Several expeditions had been sent against the Indians but they had met with defeat. The setlters in North- western Virginia and Southwestern Pennsylvania were in despair because the Indian raids had become so frequent that the frontier was almost deserted. . President Washington was anxious to relieve the frontier and in looking around for a capable leader to lead a force against the Indians, he selected his boyhood friend, Colonel William Crawford. Who was Colonel William Crawford ? He was born in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, and was a boyhood friend of Washington's. In 1767 he moved from Virginia to the Youghiogheny River, located on a place known as Stuart's Crossingg but now known as Connellsville, Pa. After erecting his cabin and clearing the land on his farm he established a trading post and became influential in the affairs of the Colony of Pennsylvania. When the Revolution broke out Colonel Crawford was appointed by Washington to take command o fthe Colonial Troops on the Frontier, where he performed excellent service and was noted as a very able and efficient Indian lighter. After the capture of Cornwallis he thought the war was over and made all preparation for spending the rest of his days with his familyg when suddenly like a clap of thunder from a clear sky the Indians began to devastate the Frontier and massacre the inhabitants. In the midst of these horrors Washington called Crawford to command an expedition against the Indians north of the Ohio river. He accepted the command and started from Fort Pitt on the 20th of May, 1782. The expedition pushed through the forest until it reached the San- dusky near the present town of Crestline. They found the town deserted. They halted here for the .night and the 'next morning pushed on down the Sandusky River. All at once the Indians came running out of the woods toward them, yelling and whooping. Crawford's command was pressed upon the flank and rear and was thus thrown into confusion. The battle raged that whole day until night put an end to the conflict. The next morning the battle was renewed. The second day's battle ended disastrously for Crawford. He deter- mined to retreat and after this order had been received by his troops they began to flee and the retreat became a rout. Crawford attempted to bring order out of chaos but his troops were demoralized and his efforts were in vain. While attempting to rally his men he was caputred by the Indians and carried to their camp near where the town of Upper Sandusky now stands. The Indians were much elated upon the capture of Crawford. They carried him to their Council house where he was tried and condemned to death by torture. On the morning of July 7, 1782, the Indians tied Crawford to the stake and began their torture. There he suffered all the cruelties that those merciless Indians could conceive. He bore his death heroically and died like a brave man and a hero. Fayette County failed to honor Colonel Crawford until very recently. The city of Connellsville has erected a monument to the memory of this Pioneer and Soldier whose efforts were so valuable in developing our West- ern Border. a 90 HEXENSHDEDL -T :-ooo-:-- Pennsylvania no longer has its witches, but it has its Hexenshdedl, or witch-village, that was founded in the nineteenth century. It was famous in the twenties for the three witches, or hexes, who practiced spells and divinations there, and were regarded by the neighbors with awe. One of these old women, who was accustomed to spend her time in wan- dering over South Mountain, had a dead cheek. The Devil had touched it. In those times a witch also had this power of numbing and killing flesh by touching it. The two other beldams, withered and forbidding, often met this woman on the mountain, each bent upon her cane, her sharp nose and perky chin appearing beneath a hood. What they did and what they said no Christian might know, but the three moving dots on the mountain-top that were seen against the moon were known to be the witches, and every good Dutchman, when he saw them, read his Bible with all the speed he knew. While these meetings lasted all sorts of mischiefs were abroadg win- dows rattled, the trees whispered, there were scuttlings and clickings of clawed feet on dark stairs and in cellars and garrets, corn was also stolen from cribs and scattered about, hay was lifted from mows and lugged off to the barns of less thrifty people, tires went out, ovens refused to bake, cats bawled as if their hearts were breaking, bells were struck, and occa- sionally some person suffered a downright injury, as in the case of the girl who disliked work and was Uspelledi' for twenty-one months, so that she could not leave her bed and chair. Her father became a-weary of these doings and made his peace with the witch who had cast the spell, by carry- ing water for her. When he had done this the crone made signs in the air, cackled a laugh, and showed her three teeth. She's well, she squeaked. And when the father went home the daughter was on her feet singing hymns with the rest of the family. One housewife could not bake her bread, the oven misbehaved so. She sent word to the witches that if her bread did not bake next day she would rouse the village and drive the hags for twenty miles. A blood-curdling yell was heard outside of her house that night, as if a devil were being forced from his congenial fires into the December chill. Nothing was seen through the windows, no hoof-marks were found in the snow, but the bread was baked next day. Some of the more timid kept on the safe side by making presents to the witches, especially of flour and vegetables. For all the Devil's aid, these poor old women lived in greater straits than any of their neighbors. In the Old World a 'soul was never sold except in pay- ment for riches, splendor, power, fame, love, pleasure, youth, long life, but in America hardly a witch made any material gain through her barter with the Hend. She usually dwelt in squalor. and her pcwers were prin- cipally exercised in prodding pins into hysterical subjects, frlghtenlng children, curdling milk, causing pigs to walk on their hind legs, and aliect- ing hens with pip.

Similar offenders are made in Pittsburgh, Pa., one variety of which is known as the Toby. These long, thin bunches of tobacco are hastily put together, native leaf and leavings being used in the making. They are alleged by experts to be not more than half as bad as they look-and smell. The name stogy came about in this way : Before the days of canals and railroads all freight had to be sent from the coast cities to what was then called the West in big, canvas-topped wagons known-from the place of their manufacture-as Conestogas. The teamsters were willing to take a part of their pay in tobacco, out of which they fashioned a rough likeness to a cigar that became known as a Conestoga. That name was too long, so they called it a stoga, and this got itself twisted into stogie by the tavern idlers to whom the carters gave the rolls of leaf. The tale of the Pittsburgh toby sounds less likely, but its origin has become a town tradition, so here it is, for what it is Worth. When'that city was a village, and a good, blue Presbyterian one, a certain burgess suffered wide renown as a swearer. Every time he was taken to task for his temper and profanity he would quite the passage from his favorite Tristam Shandy' in which Uncle Toby said a bad word, which a guardian spirit took straight to heaven-a wrong place to take such words, for though the recording angel entered it on the great book, he dropped a tear that blotted it out forever. As the burgess grew old his memory became uncertain, and it troubled him not a little to be compelled to get his book from the shelf when he wanted to repeat a paragraph that had been so familiar as his own name. Deep was his sorrow when some unconscionable reformer ran off with Tristam Shandyj' leaving the old man to gasp and glare and stammer when he tried to frame his usual excuse. They did say that a church elder took the book, in order that the burgess should have no support in his sin. This elder-at least, an elder-began an earnest effort for the burgess' re- form, and he was at it one day, preaching ,arguing, gesticulationg, while his victim sat on his porch, hunched in his chair, his eyes roving sadly and his fingers working in the vain attempt to recall his defensive quotation, 92' when Tom Jenkins, a well-known teamster, came lumbering along in his Conestoga, He knew the burgess, and, taking a sudden pity on him, halted his horses, jumped off from his wagon and stumped up the steps to have a word with him, but also to save him from the avalanche of adjuration. Giving no heed to the hints and signs, he offered one of his stogies to the burgess -the first the old man had ever seen. Flint and steel were pulled out, a light was struck, and the two began to smoke, while the elder grew in deeper earnest and shouted louder and louder in warning and expostulation. The stogie seemed to have medicinal qualities, for soon the burgess began to find his tongue in the old way, and he loosed a torrent of profane objur- gation that made his tormentor stand aghast. Then he quoted : And the ministering angel-the angel, damme !-flew up to heaven-to heaven, you blink, blank son-o-a-sea-cook-with the oath-and blushed as he gave it in. He shouted this, his memory coming back to him. But the record- ing angel, as he wrote it down, dropped a tear upon the word, and blotted it out, forever. F'ever, sir ! he roared, as the elder hurried down the steps, holding his hands to his ears and raising his eyes in despair. Then, turning to the teamster, the burgess said, looking significantly at the roll of tobacco he held in his fingers : Tom, you've brought back my Uncle Toby. And the name of toby fastened upon the cigar that day. -AMERICAN MYTHS AND LEGENDS. EEE? 93 1.RT AUTOGRAPHS 94 .AUTOGRAPHS - Alumni Directory Otho M. Evans . .A Lucy Baer .....
