Mr. Montgomery graduated from the Clarion State Normal school in 1900 and entered Lima college in the fall of 1901 from which school lie was graduated in 1904. He then entered Wooster University and completed one year of post-graduate work in that institution in 190(1. He has taught school for a number of years and has experience in teaching from the ungraded country school through to the borough High School. He had charge of the schools of Upper Tyrone township, Fayette county, for three years, leaving there to become the supervising principal of the German township schools in the fall of 1911. Air.

O years, you have vanished like shadows Like ghosts you have glided away, And the light that was ours has faded. As darkness before the day. You have faded and fled and left us, And only now and then, In the weird days of Memory, Will our faces meet again. Since we entered Dear M. H. S. A thousand suns have crossed the sky, And scarce have we a moment to look back, For now our school life is drawing nigh. O years, you have vanished, Like the birds in the air. And our days in M. H. S. are past, And they are gone for e’er. Fare-thce-well, Dear Alma Mater, Parting's hour is drawing nigh, And with loving thoughts we crown thee, As we say our last “Good Bye.” —Pavy Cree. SENIOR CLASS SONG Hail 1913! Colors proudly flying! Red and the Blue, we pledge to thee our love. Dearer to us than crimson deep or purple Guide of our way. as true as stars above. Chorus. Though some love maroon and gray. And others the gleam of gold, The flash of the green or silver sheen Displayed when their flag's unfurled. W hatever the shade may be That’s out to the breezes spread, 1 ho colors are many, you 11 not find that any Compared with the Blue and Red. Emblem we love thy colors strong contrasted Speak of the life that all thy sons must share. Blue for the frowns that oft are cast upon us Red for the sun whose beams return so fair. Hail Red and Blue, thy sound shall e'er revere thee Tho from thy halls their path may lead them far. Fondly to thee in memory oft returning. Loyal and true to thee they ever are. —Armour Haines and Dawson Miller. SENIOR HISTORY. (Ida Emery.) At the beginning of this history it might be well to introduce the members of our class. It is composed of insects, colors, musical scales, birds, paper, and one of the afflictions of Job. We have a Miller, a Gray, an Octave, a Dove, an Emery, and a Boyle: also Armour, head of a packing establishment; Virginia, one of the thirteen original colonies; Kaufman, a German merchant ; Sarah, wife of the old patriarch Abraham, and Jessie, son of David. Once more we appear before you not as Freshmen or Sophomores, but as Seniors, in our third and last year. We can no longer be called “grecnics” or “wise fools,” but enter this year with a zeal such as has been known to no other class. At the beginning of our High School career, our class contained twenty-two members, but by some misfortune it now contains twelve. Our class has great talent in music and athletics, having contributed several members to both the basket ball team and the orchestra. During our High School career, many interesting and amusing events have occurred, some of which it might be well to mention. The smoking of the stove in Prof. Sheetz’s room and the extracting of “bill” the pony, from Favy’s coat pocket. To Professors Sheetz, Heltzel and Fairman we owe our inexpressible gratitude for the success we have made in the school. “Fidus ct audax (Faithful and Daring), our motto, has led us to renown. We have always been faithful to our schoolmates and to our school work. Often great discouragements befell us, but we were always daring enough to overcome them. Our class is known for having accomplished more work in Algebra than any other class that has yet graduated from the High School. Although this is our last year together at this school, we have looked forward to commencement day with great pleasure. We have left behind us a record that all the classes following us may take as their guide. We cannot look into the future, but if we could we could wish to see all other classes following in our footsteps, or trying to surpass us. Our efforts, no matter how impossible or discouraging they seem to us. were always greeted with encouragement by our untiring and ever patient professors. Now we must leave our High School and enter into the school of life. The training of the past three years will aid us in our future cause and will help us to win success—not only worldly success, but it will help us to make our lives broader and more useful to those about us.

Here’s to the Sophomores known of old, Here's to the class of the Purple and Gold. This to our class that works to gain, This to the class that in numbers reign. Here’s to the motto that makes us so strong, Here’s to the faculty, leading us on. The white rose, our flower, so sweet and so pure, Sure, fame in the future, we’ll certainly secure. J his to our yell that will always resound, Happy, yes, gay wherever we’re found. Here’s to the class that looks for the best And have a record for M. H. S. We have hope in God that our hearts may be clean For we are the class of nineteen fourteen. —H. Ray Lille SOPHOMORE HISTORY (Alta Keener) When Autumn, with a magic brush, was splashing the landscape with brilliant colors of purple and gold, we, one by one. gathered around our Alma Mater. How greatly we have changed since our first appearance in the High School world! For the benefit of persons who may know nothing of our history, it will be well to skim lightly over the events of our Freshman year. At our advent to High School, we displayed great interest in our studies and literary work, and we excelled all others in baseball, basketball and also carried off honors in the Field Meet. The happiest days of our Sophomore year came with the return of the White Roses. The Sophomore Moonlight Picnic given in honor of the Freshman Class was a great success, and every one was willing and ready to declare they had an excellent time. A surprise party was given in honor of Harold Gadd by the Sophomore class. Another important event w as the party given to us by one of our class mates, Nellie Coldren. A farewell party was given at the home of Gladys McCrackin in honor of Mabel Hunt. All parties given proved to be successful.' As a class, we know that we have made mistakes, but it is by turning our mistakes into stepping stones that we may ascend the heights of fame. The future looks bright for the class of 1914, and may we ever go onward and upward making nobler endeavors and greater conquests, and ever be a shining light, a guiding star, to the classes that come hereafter. SOPHOMORE SONG Hurrah the Sophomores are marching, With colors streaming and bayonets gleaming, We hear the measured beat of their trampling fed. Our High School s brave defenders. Chorus. The Sophomores are marching With steady step and true, Beneath the Gold and Purple The colors we all love. Purple and Gold victorious banner; Will sing the story of thy great glory The emblem of the free on land and sea, The Sophomores’ protector. Your country calls, then forth to battle, Nor dream of sorrow but hail the morrow. « hen work and strife shall cease and in bond of peace, Our hearts shall be united. —Ray Lilley, ’14.

We came to school to gain a name, illi bashful hearts untold by fame Wc worked with might to win the strife, And now we've won it, wc‘ve worked with might. “Right and foreward. gets us through, Let it be our motto true, And by it wc will ever stand While inarching forward hand in hand. And when we think of our motto fair, Our flower’s fragrance in the air, Old mem’ries back to us come Of how our High School work was done. And when we're through with High School days We’ll pass out into a world of ways. Then our Freshman Class we ll praise For there's where all the honor lies. Kind readers and friends we’ll bid you adieu, All teachers and professors, the same to you. And now the end of the term is here So w'e’ll meet you again another glad year. —Benjamin Brooks. FRESHMAN HISTORY (Essie M. Strickler.) On the morning- of September 2nd, 1912, twenty-six young pilgrims gathered at M. H. S. to be reviewed and initiated. We were received very warmly, and, in spite of remarks and nicknames, the remainder of the school acknowledged their appreciation of us by holding a reception in our honor. We soon left our bashfulness behind and began our work in earnest. However, as “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy,” we were still inclined to hold fast to our love of play. We struggled bravely through “hic-haec-hoc,” and the value of “X’s” and felt that our greenness had begun to fade into a softer shade of brown. Although the “13's” and “14’s” would not believe nor regard us as anything but “Presides,” we mastered our difficulties and proved to them that we were true to our colors. We at first changed the usual program by selecting a French motto for our aim. Later we were tagged industrious and enterprising and continued to keep up with our title. Wc hold regard to the faculty who have aided us in our work and who have encouraged us when our paths were darkened by obstacles too dark for 11s to fathom without aid. We also hold respect to the sympathizing and interested public who have praised our work. We hope in the years to come to complete our studies and work in harmony as we have done during the past term; to accomplish our aims, to cherish M. IT. S. and to be our Alma Mater's pride. FRESHMAN SONG. Come all you loyal Freshmen, With cheers and songs anew; Lift up your hearts and voices For the dear old White and Blue. Chorus. Dear old High School, dear old High School, W e will always sing thy praises. Then Hurrah! Hurrah ! for Nineteen-fifteen, W e will ever sing thy praises true. Then Hurrah! Hurrah! for Nineteen-fifteen, Cheering for the White and Blue. When dangers crowd upon us, Let faith each soul imbue; We’ll cheer as loyal Freshmen, For the dear old White and Blue. W c have taken from the ether, The storm cloud’s dusky hue; We have stolen white from a flower, For our colors White and Blue. Our standards high maintaining, The honor of the class; Our characters, too, we’re building, As through this school we pass. W'hen we wander in the twilight, Mid the evening shadows cold, W7ith the fading of the day light, Come back the mem’ries old. —Essie Strtckler and Ray Barnes.

To a student expecting to enter college the commercial course offers many advantages. Often one can pay his expenses in college if he has a knowledge of Shorthand and Typewriting. The writer has known of two instances during the past year where a college president was willing to allow all expenses in return for clerical work. A golden opportunity for some one knowing Shorthand and Typewriting! Is the commercial course recognized as a constituent part of high school education? Let us look to Columbia University for our answer—the largest University in the United States offers instruction in Shorthand. To the student who is to enter upon a business career the commercial course offers his sole reasonable hope of success. The well trained and competent commercial graduate need never be out of employment. The Commercial Department of the McClellandtown High School has been intact the past year. The Palmer Method of Business Writing has been continued. Certificates in Penmanship, signed by A. N. Palmer, are issued to students satisfactorily completing the prescribed exercises. The Southwestern Publishing Co. have awarded several Bookkeeping Certificates. Free assistance in securing employment is given by this company to holders of these certificates. The Spencerian system of Shorthand is taught. This system is easy to write, easy to read, and capable of the highest speed. It is extensively taught throughout the United States in schools of the very best standing. Among such may be mentioned Eastman Business College, New York. Prof. Fairman is well qualified to teach this system, his Shorthand Diploma being signed by L. C. Spencer, the author. COMMERCIAL POEM Have the Commercials and Classicals got mixed in the house? It they have, separate them, without disturbing a mouse. I flame the Ledger’s mistake on the Salesbook’s fraud! Old time schools are liars! We’re Commercials on the job. We’re Commercials! Commercials! Who says we are not? He’s the Professor,—boys! Make him walk chalk! Are we Commercials at play? Yes! just now if we please. While “Onward's Our Aim” and that shall we believe! Was it ‘‘Aiming’ I spoke of? Excuse the mistake! l.ook close—you will see not a move did we make! We want some new books in place of the old— And Blue is our color and with it the Gold. We had a trick, we Commercials, you may have been told Of cheating the Prof, as if we were old. When out he went, then, we would talk. And when he came in he did not know it. That fellow whose look is so grave and so long Made believe that he’d written a Sophomore song. The Sophomores sang it, and it was true! So they chose him right in, a good joke it was, too. Yes, we re Commercials—always studying with pencil or pen— And I sometimes have asked, “Shall we ever be men?” Shall we always be youthful, and laughing and gay, 'iill the last dear companion drops smiling away? Then here’s to our classmates, our Gold and our Blue! Our teachers, professors, our motto so true! And when we have gone this commercial course through. Take care of us, Father, we’ll trust in You! —Benjamin Brooks. COMMERCIAL SONG The Gold and Blue we’ll ever wear, Aloft the flag- we’ll raise. We’ll sound our shouts and sing our song Lor old Commercial's praise. Then, llail to the Gold and the Blue, Boys! The colors we love so well, Thy loyal sons now salute thee, As thy folds on the breezes swell. 1 hen, Hail to the Gold and the Blue, Boys! Forever we’ll be true. May the flag of dear old Commercial live. That dear old Gold and Blue. Let every heart be filled with joy, And shout in Alma Mater’s name. Ve’l! do our duty, man by man. W bile Onward is our Aim.” —Essie M. Strickler. YELL. Ilipity-Ky, Hipity-Ky, Hipity-Ky, Hipity-Ke, Hipity-Ke, Hipity-Ke-Ke, McClellandtown Commercials, Here are we! Hipity-Ky, Hipity-Ke, Commercials!

And each succeeding term it has become better and each year sends out into the world a crowd of well trained and fine literary students. The Lanierian Society with the Franklin has worked along to-getscr in friendly rivalry ever since their organization. The Lan-ierians occupy a large room in which can easily be seen the earnestness and completeness of its members. Each week a very interesting program is carried on which affords its members the pleasure of winning the laurels for its Society at every meeting. The Inter-Society contest was held on March 29, 1913. in which the honors were handed to the Lanierians. Although at times it has been pressed bard bv the Franklins, at all times it has stood the test. Its membership is increasing every year. There arc now 3b members in the Society. Never before did an organization bring back to M. PI. S. the honors that this society has. Under her motto, “ irtue Lives Beyond the Grave.’’ she will go on for ever and ever, always doing her best and receiving congratulations from the outside world. O11 February 8th the society unanimously elected John Leslie Hall. Ph. D., Professor of the English Language and Literature in the College of William and Mary. Williamsburg. Va. The following is a complete list of officers for the year 1912: Presidents. John Boyle Dawson Miller Secretaries. Gladys McCracken Blanche Riffle Harry Gray Armour Haines Edgar Cunningham Gwendolyn Gilmore Caroline Weltner Mildred Coffman R. N. Heltzel George Riffle Glenn Emery Jessie McWilliams Ida Emery Alta Keener LANIERIAN POEM A banner to the breeze was furled. It bore a name unto the world. Entwined with bars of Red and White. It shone as like a star at night. Lanierian. Beneath its folds a clan was born. Which like the first gray streaks of morn Broke forth into a radiant day. A light to gleam upon the day. Lanierian. Tt bore success as on it went. It won renown with each event. Through circles far and near and wide It suffered not defeat beside. Lanierian. As greater still its numbers spread, So greater, too. in deed it led. For always when the test was o'er, The winning banner proudly bore: Lanierian. Within the ranks about its bower. There upward sprang a tender flower. Its clinging vines grew far and long. Then bloomed this flower to friendship strong. Lanierian. 1ho' some have passed from 'neath its folds The Red and White” yet ever holds Their fondest memories; and the rose, With scented friendship, ever grows. Lanierian. To him who on a troubled sea. Looks back and shares one thought with thee, Thou art a momentary taste, Reviving hope from out the waste. Lanierian. No friend too great or none too small To take his place beneath thy wall. A hand to grasp: a trust to share; Eternal faith to scatter there. Lanierian. Lanierian Poem—Continued For some who share a higher gain, And some who search for greater fame Stood side by side, as hand in hand, With some who’ll build upon the sand. Lanierian. We all must seek as others sought A favored strand to share our lot. Where’er it be, for thee we’ll yearn, And in our fancies oft return. Lanierian. Oh! dear old flag of Red and White, It matters not what be the height, By thee we'll ever stand secure, As oft we feel thy secret lure. Lanierian. For thee we’ll ever lend a hand. By thee we’ll ever staunchly stand. As years roll on as yet they will, Our hearts with love for thee will fill. Lanierian. Thru favored realm of High School days, Upon the plain of life’s by-ways We’ll seek some nobler place to gain, Some brighter star to crown thy name. Lanierian.

FRANKLIN LITERARY SOCIETY The Franklin Literary Society was founded in 1909, with twentv-nine charter members and lias steadily grown until it now has forty active members enrolled. At the beginning the meetings were held every two weeks alternating with those of the Lanierian Society. During the past two years meetings have been held every Friday afternoon, every fourth meeting being held conjointly with the Lanierian Literary Society. An anniversary meeting is held every year in honor of Benjamin Franklin's birth. At the first of these meetings Thomas A. Edison was elected as an honorary member. At the 1913 meeting Dr. Alexis Carroll was elected to honorary membership, and Miss Marguerite Dearth was elected a graduate member. During the past year a spelling contest, a literary contest and an athletic contest between the two societies was held. T11 these the “Azure and White” floated high. Although we were deflated in some of these contests, we came out with “flying colors.” winning forty-six out of eighty-eight points. In the beginning of the year 1912 the Franklins chose High School room No. 2 as their place of meeting, designating same as “Franklin Hall.” The room has been tastefully decorated with Azure and White, college pennants, and monograms. A piano was purchased by the society and, with the aid of the alumni, was soon paid for. 'The officers have been as follows, president and secretary in the order named: Marshall Moser. Sarah Malone: Ralph Sterling. Celia Gadd: Prof. Fairman, Etta Dove: Joseph Blanc. Mabel Hunt: Pavy Cree, Berenice Ross: Ray Lillcv. Trene Coffman: Karl Kendall. Bertha Kenison; James King, Nellie Coldren. FRANKLIN POEM In this dear old High School Between its sacred walls Is found a great Society, With care and love for all. Its history you may learn with ease, Of that most joyful time, Flow it was founded, loved and kept Is here set down in rhyme. Many sweet and sacred names You may mention, but in vain, For the dear good name of Franklin Always with us will remain. “Faith is Duty,’’ is our motto, Hanging on that sacred wall, And those words so dear to Franklins, Mean their life, their love, their all. Three years she’s toiled and labored, Three years she's won her fame; Till now from all the people, In praise you’ll hear her name. When in school days we seemed discouraged, And we could not see success, Then ’twas F. L. S. that taught us How to do our very best. Of all the knowledge that she gave us, We can never once forget, And we’ll give our best to her In paying off our debt. And when we on life’s journey go, To make a true success, Our hearts shall often turn to you, Our dear old F. L. S. Hail to the Franklins far and wide! Hail to the Society true! Hail to the members who love her dear! Hail to her motto, too! So here’s a toast to F. L. S., With love our very best. And may she in the years to come, Be thrice blessed with success. —Charles Marshall Moser. FRANKLIN SONG A song of clear old Franklin we will sing kind friends to you. And give to dear old M. H. S. all praise and honor due, For on the terraced banks of Monongahela’s strand, There stands the hall of Franklin. She’s the fairest in the land. Ciiorus. I..oyal sons of Franklin may be ever be, Living not alone for time but for eternity. To dear old Franklin’s standard may we keep our hearts aright. Hurrah, Hurrah for Franklin, the Azure and the White! The White and Azure proudly floats o’er Franklin’s famous hall, Extending a most cordial welcome to her members all. No spot on earth is half so grand, to memory half so bright, As where beneath old Franklin’s gaze we learned to do the right. Our motto, “Faith is Duty,” let us bind it to our heart, And live that each immortal word becomes of life a part. As onward then through toil and strife our journey we pursue May we be guided in the right by Franklin's teachings true. —W. E. Fairman. YELL. Rah—Rah—Rah, Rah—Rah—Rah. Rah—Rah—Rah, Rah—Rah—Rah.
