RUDISILL 3 FOREWORD We offer to you this fifth volume of the Laureola with a hope that you may find within its pages at least some things that may be to you an interest, a profit or a pleasure. We do not claim to present here all the sublime and beautiful thoughts gathered from tlie roses, clover-blossoms, geraniums, morning-glories and pansies of literature; but offer to open as’with magic key the gateways of the unknown, unlock the secret realms, that our High School may no longer be a “terra incognita” but stand in splendid array in the vast category of its competitors. Herein will be found the lofty strains of our poets, the high flights of our historians, the keen logic of our essayists, the strongest situations of our dramatists, and the brightest “bon mots” of our humorists. Of all the flashes of genius, that might stir the souls of men, the famous epigrams, maxims, asphorisms, adages, of High School, that might excite the world’s admiration or amusement, not one that is; worthy of being preserved and quoted has been overlooked.

Our High School work is done; And each the trials of life must face As through life’s course they run. Then troubles many, and laurels few, Ere long will greet us all; But dauntless courage we have learned Will shield from many a fall. Though many battles hard we’ve fought, Like Roman knights of old. We’ve always held our standard high, The ‘‘Purple and the Gold.” Our own “White Rose,” the sweetest fov.cr That graces God’s green land. Has never been disgraced nor rolled By a Class so true, so grand. “No day without a good deed done” The motto that we claim. Shall always be our guiding star, O’er the rocky paths to farce. Dear M. H. S.. we owe thee thank And praises long and loud. Thy teachings build us characters, Of which we all are proud. Now that the time of parting’s here. We dread to say adieu. But as we on our journeys start, Farewell we bid to you. —Daniel Bryan Christopher. (By CARRIE JANE MOSER) The Senior year of the Class of 1914 has been filled to overflowing with happiness. The near approach of graduation reminds us that the pleasant association of the past three years of undergraduate life are about to terminate. The feelings of sadness are nevertheless mingled with those of satisfaction, because of the delightful memories that cluster about our past. When we stepped upon the stage as Freshmen, we soon discovered that we had many things to learn before we could shine as stars in the intellectual world. In the Sophomore year there were signs of increasing strength. We performed our duties to the Freshmen with a master hand. In athletics we were successful all year. Our life and energy found expression in social pursuits and literary work. The crowning glory of our High School life came with the Senior year. The members of the class having been all united by the bonds of true friendship with a spirit of harmony and good will prevailing. With such a splendid record to leave behind, we go out from our three years’ home with reluctance. Here we have fought and won victories which will never present themselves again. Our battles in the world may be but replicas of our struggles here, yet there is a charm about our school life, an indefinite something, with which we are loth to part. As we approach nearer and nearer to the goal towards which we have been striving, we experience feelings of mingled joy and sorrow. Our undergraduate life has been satisfactory to us. We glory in our achievements. The friendships formed here constitute a rich legacy of the past three years. Ours has been the pleasant privilege to be guided through a course of instruction by our eminent faculty. They have made their impress upon us. Their examples and precepts will live on in our minds, and their memories will be cherished in our hearts. It has been good for us to have been here and it remains for us to justify the time and energy expended upon us. So, departing with a feeling of cheerful hopefulness for the future, we linger on that one fond word—farewell � 13 SOPHOMORE CLASS MOTTO: Droit et avant.

When their mouth is open, They can surely sing. Now aren’t they a pretty Class? To break the Freshmen in? They like to study German, They study hard in Zoo’, They’ve dissected every creature From Amoeba down to “Bug-a-boo.” Their voices are melodious Their heads are full of brains, Find x, y, z, in Algebra, And guide “Bill Caesar’s” reins. Write stories in their Rhetoric, Know history by the mile, Count petals in their Botany, They look nice when they smile. The girls have nice red rosy cheeks. They use the poyder-puff, They’re up to every vexing scheme, They know quite how to bluff. But now I’ve told you all their faults, ’Twould not be really fair, To pass along in rambling thoughts. And not their virtues share. They’ve done their year of High School work, Their marks have all been good, They’ve kept the Freshmen off the grass, They’ve done the best they could. Our Alma Mater’s proud of them, And soon they’ll Juniors be, A worthy Class to follow those, Already up the tree. Then Hail the dear old Sophomores! In heart they’re brave and true, A jolly Class from first to last, All Hail the “White and Blue!” —Jennings Christopher. (By MARY MILLER) % As great streams flow from tiny sources, and great things grow from small beginnings, so have we in the sweltering heat of last summer evoluted from a hand full of “Greenies” to a full fledged Sophomore Class. What we have lost in numbers as a Class, we have gained in brains and good looks as individuals. To make the story short, our original number was twenty-six, twice thirteen, and, therefore, doubly unlucky, so one of us was married, another became a carpenter by trade, another went to lead his class in some other High School, and so on until twenty good ones were left to carry on the work here. Our lessons have been difficult, for whenever a Sophomore was met on the street he could be heard mumbling, “Thirty algebra problems, thirty-two lines of Caesar, five pages of German, and eight pages of History all for one day,” and groaning in deepest sighs of agony. If variety is the spice of life, then ours is indeed a spicy class, for we have the Automobile Sport, the Funny Man, the Platform Orator, the Lover, the Soloist, the Musician and “Musicianesses,” the Noisy and the Quiet, and all sizes from tall “Beth” to little Zona. We have contributed our share to the various athletic teams as well as to the Literary Societies and Musical Organiaztions. Our Alma Mater has always found us willing and ever ready to help in any of the High School events, and greatly have we profited by these two years spent at M. H. S. As the years go by we will continue to add fresh laurels to those which we have already won, and concerning which we will tell you in succeeding years, so laying aside the stylus and tablet we bid you, gentle readers, an affectionate farewell until our brilliant deeds demand another hearing. 17 SOPHOMORE SONG Corr.e all you loyal Sophomores, With cheers and songs anew, Lift up ycur hearts and voices. For the dear old “White and Blue.” CHORUS. Dear old High School, Dear old High School, We will always s.ng thy praises. Then Hurrah! Hurrah! for Nineteen Fifteen, We 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 Soph’mores, For the dear old “White and Blue.” We have taken from the ether, The storm cloud’s dusky hue, We have stolen white from a flower, For our colors, “White and Blue.” Cur standard high maintaining, The honor of the Class; Cur characters, too, we are building, As through the school we pass. When we wander in the twilight, Mid the evening shadows cold, With the fading of the daylight, Come back the memories o.d. t t4icSug� s, g� g� � :jn2. s� 3K2«s� 4t «gn3 tg.tSMg«g tg gHj � ;5ng� s : 18 • S t2x£ v£ • £ • N • • t£ 3 19 FRESHMAN CLASS MOTTO: Via facienda est.

FRESHMAN CLASS '3«2«S� FRESHMAN POEM i All hail thee, Nineteen Seventeen!” Our hearts go forth to meet thee, With colors bright, a Class of might. Awaits the time to greet thee! Afar into the future dim, Midst mystic realms of honor, To thee we lean, old “Seventeen” Before us waves our banner. To heights above, we’ll climb the trail, The fight shall see no quarter, The knowledge sword must bring reward, When we have crossed the border. The battle’s on, though but begun, We know ’twill soon be raging; But ’midst it all, we’ll hear the call, That M. H. S. is urging. The Red and Black” shall suffer no,, As o’er our camp ’tis gleaming, For by its might the Purple and White” Shall ever too be beaming. aiiu wnen the victor’s cry is heard, No more the battle’s scream. All glory due, we’ll give to you. Dear “Nineteen Seventeen.” —Sylva T. Gray. '? 3 SK2KS 22 Within a few days after our arrival at M. H. S., September 2, 1912, we, the Freshman Class, knew that we would have a history well worth its reading by all who can read. It was a dreary day for such a noble Class to start upon its journey of success, but at our arrival M .H. S. had never before witnessed a brighter one. We numbered forty bright and willing youths, although a few of us have left our school for higher hopes. We were well liked by the other Classes, of which the Sophomores tendered us a Moonlight Reception. A delightful evening was spent during which we were highly honored by the presence of the Professors. We chose for our colors Purple and White, our Motto: “Via facienda est,” meaning: “Our wav must be made,” which we have successfully followed. Since we came to M. H. S. the Literary Societies have made a change for the better, which can be seen in all periodical:; and great magazines of the time. Although we played pranks on the Professors and were greeted with “De merits,” we were still in the lead of honor. Our dear Professor Sheetz finally got married and we greeted him with a kitchen shower. Now, as one of our four years ol' toil is coming to an end, and our history is, as yet, a short but noble one, we hope that our next three years of study will pass as this one has, bright and pleasant. - Eddie Jankey. 23 3, 3, 3,'3, 3 t3K3H3HSKSK3 t3w3 3 !3K3 t3 t3 35'3H3,J3 ,3w3 3 t31 3, 3 ,t 3, S $Kj, iMS, 5 ? ,,EKtK3, HKJ, KSK3 i,3 '3 ,3 '3 3K3 '3H3 3 '3 i3K3 3 3M3H3,tSK3K3K3M3H3M3M3Kf 3K3M3, 3, 3K3H3 3K3, S 3 3K3 3 S,'3K3H3M3i t3M3 t3 FRESHMAN SONG There’s a song that fills the air, 1917!

When cast out in this world of game, We’ll stand not ’round without a name, For what we've done; While missing fun, To change our worth in gold to fame. To “Work and Win,” our dear old aim, We’ll stand by it and ne’er complain Of what it has done; For it has won. Our honors for us, and foes has slain. Upon our colors we rely, To tell the world without a sigh. Oh, Gold and Blue, We’ll think of you. Because great friendship you have tied. Now friends we’ve lingered long together We’ve shown our faith that’s in each other, But now we part, To take our start— Then through this world to meet another. Farewell our motto, Gold and Blue, Farewell our hoys and girls so true. Professors too We bid adieu. To meet another year anew. —Andrew Zoldos. , $kIm3k? tjjtjx-iiJh2 3 '3’'3 3 3hS :. i ; ,t, 3 3”S� t?, JH ;i'3h9m3 j«-hjhJk3h3k3k3,‘3h3h3h3 3 3 3 3 3 •‘3 3 3 3 3«3 26 STUDENTS' PAGE COMMERCIAL (By NELLIE H. COLDREN) It was the first day of September, 1913, when the McClellandtown High School opened. There were many Scientists and Classicals, but, beside these there were other students, both old and new, who were known as the Commercials. These students came not to learn of love affairs, society news and etiquette, but came to learn something of the business world. A person who is anxious for an education and does not want to toil and worry over Latin, etc., may find a place of welcome in the Commercial Room. In most colleges you are required to know a small amount of commercial knowledge. Now here is where you can get it without any great expense. Above all this, there is a great opportunity of becoming a court reporter. Excellent salaries are given to expert stenographers. One never knows what opportunity may open and afford you a chance. A young man who just finished college, where lie had completed a classical course, took commercial work for his own personal benefit and after having completed the course obtained a position where he made much more money and had a more steady position than if he had been teaching in some school. Many faults have been found with the commercial class. We have been told that a commercial student does not have anything to do. If the person who says this will be kind enough to try it for a few days he or she will find it quite different. Of course one can never know too much on any one subject. The business man needs more real manhood in his employee that he does technical training; no matter what the business may be. Business is done on so large and complicated a scale and so much of it through corporations that the question of when and how far a principal is bound by the act of the employee is important. Although there are not many students in this department, we have our own officers, motto, colors, song, yell, etc. 29 JVIOTTO: “Work and Win.” COURSE OF STUDY OF GERMAN TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL Under the New Four Year Plan, 8 Months’ Term.

The name Lanierian has and still stands for victory and honor. Since the time when two societies were formed in our High School there has been a great amount of rivalry along literary lines. We can, as members of the school, boast of a great amount of good work being done in the school. As Lanierians we modestly claim the victors’ share of the spoils and can prove our claims. Each year we have had an inter-society contest and we are proud to say the Lanierians have each year carried off the honors by defeating their rivals. We try to strengthen our members along literary work and not as athletes, therefore we lost the only athletic event ever held. We are not altogether sorry we lost that event for though we do not make any special efforts to excel in atheltlcs, the defeat acted as a stimulant and spurred our contestants to greater efforts, which brought us the victory for another year in the Literary Contest. This contest has been called off for this school year and we are sorry for one reason, and that is, that the contest adds something to work for, something to win, and the taking it away takes away some of the ambition of the workers. It also benefits in a certain way, for when one society wins every year it disheartens the other and either causes scraps or failure altogether of the one society. We are proud of our members who never lost their enthusiasm and every year captured the victory they so well deserved. The Lanierian Literary Society has increased in membership each year and to the boy and girl who expects to attend the German Township High School and wishes to have their membership in a society that is alive to every improvement and one that is a winner, we would say, “Be a Lanierian.” Two honorary members were unanimously elected to membership during this school year. Prof. Montgomery, township principal, and C. G. Lewellyn, ex-County Supt. of Fayette County Schools.

Placed high beside the Red and Black, No heart from you can e’er turn back, As like a gleam upon the foam. That guides the weary sailor home, To us you are a gleaming star, That shines within the sky alone. For oft within your silken folds. That round about our fancies hold, We seem to see a ray of light, That nowhere else has come to sight; And then with hope we fast elope. And leave behind the shades of night. Even like the day star in the East, That bids the dawn to glorious feast, You bring to us a brighter trend, A greater faith, a truer friend; A staunch heart to share our part, Some noble purpose to defend. ’Tis thus thru day and thru the night, And thus thru time’s eternal flight, That always in thy folds we see The splendor of society. We come and go like winter’s snow, But thou art always there to be. No longer now a tender thing. Like leaflets in the burst of spring, But having grown, you still increase, And knoweth not the term to cease; A mighty clan you now command, Long live your name in strife or peace! And tho it be on a mountain’s knoll. Or where the billows dash and roll; In frozen wastes of ice and snow, Or where the gentle winds doth blow, On foreign strand, or favored land. Within our hearts you too must go. 38 fS rSx: S B i 5 S, H {S S 3KS S 3 S S SKH 3 S 3 E S S i S 5KS i 3K: LANIERIAN POEM-Con’i’d Old flag that nearer to us grows, With every day that comes and goes.

It is the part of the literary society to foster a literary spirit in the High School and in the individual. In this respect, Franklin has been particularly successful. It is the literary society that offers the broadest field for intellectual culture and repays most lavishly the one who does labor in the service. Statistics are nroverbially dry but here are some that speak most eloquently: Franklin Society was organized in 1909 with twenty-nine chartered members. Since then, it lias grown larg. r :.i number and stronger in literary activities until this—the paramount year. At the beginning of this scholastic year our Society numbered forty end the regular meetings of the Society were conducted in ‘“Franklin Hall” with the right spirit. That this enthusiasm of the members has not lagged is shown by the well rendered programs and the good conduct at the weekly meetings. Tho special anniversary program held annually in commemoration of Benjamin Franklin’s birth has. this year, ecl'psed all former programs ana was one that would be hard to equal. At this meeting was elected as an honorary member, one of the world’s greatest men, one—whose ingenuity has united the Atlantic with the Pacific, Col. George Washington Coethals. Franklin can well feel preud of having addec to the roll two such men, Thomas Edison and Col. Goethals. In one line of activity, there has been a marked improvement, namely, in music. I he “Azure and White proudly boasts of the or hestra, which more than once has delighted her members with its skill and seemed to be well received by the public. Too, we are especially fortunate in having excellent selections by the “Sextette de Franklin,” whose songs touched the hearts of all. Ment'on must be made of a splendid female quartette also. Then, too. the new Franklin piano, which has been purchased this year by the Society with the aid of the School fioard, to whom e ery member is thankful, has again and again responded to the exquisite touch of its members to the delight of us all. The steps taken by the Society for maintaining debates are de- i 40 RETROSPECT--Continued serving of much credit and we have been able to put forth a strong debating team in the persons of Moser ’14, Newcomer '14, King ’15 and Huhn ’15. Another phase, which must not be overlooked, is that of Athletics. Our Basket Ball team was ably managed by Blanc ’15. The Captain for Baseball is Kendall '14. With such an illustrious past history, such an active and enthusiastic present, we cannot but predict that Franklin's future will be crowned with ever increasing success.

Or from a fleecy cloud o’er head, Drop down a bit on a sunny bed. Where bloom forget-me-nots we know, To form our banner as they grow. Azure and White. Just a dash of spray, As it melts away, With its rocking motion, On the blue of the ocean, Azure and White. Or a flake of snow, That hither doth blow, Since it left its home, In the great blue dome, Azure and White. Like Cararra pure. Let the white endure, And the azure hue, For our colors true, As long as the skies are blue, Azure and White. Let the white stand for right, And to do with our might, • Such things as have stood, Because they were good, Azure and White. Let the azure declare. In our pennant so fails A loyalty grand, That endures to the end, Azure and White. Combining the two, The white and the blue, As they float in the air, Is there banner more fair? Azure and White. All, watch our flag streaming, In its radiance beaming, As it floats above. Dear old flag we all love, Azure and White. 42 FRANKLIN POEM-Cont’d May thy memory cling, That such honors we’ll Dring, As for thee we have won, Where e’er we havt, gone, Azure and White. Here’s our pledge, dear old flag, That our “Faith” shall not lag, While the lessons of “Duty” You enfold in your beauiy, Azure and White. From the sky overhead. When the twilight has sped, Ere Aurora comes ou, With her bright rosy dawn. Comes Vega’s dim blue, Just beaming through To blend with the light, Of Sirius pure white, And form through the night, In heavenly plight. Our Azure and White. —Sarah Malone ’13. FRANKLIN SONG A song of dear 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 old Monongahela’s strand, There stands the hall of Franklin; she’s the fairest in the land. CHORUS. Loyal sons of Franklin, may we 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. 43 MUSIC ORGANIZATIONS s “Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast.” Realizing that music is becoming more and more an annex to the curriculum course, in fact one of the essentials, it is our aim to make and foster in the High School a development both technically and artistically in such a way as to be fitted for life’s work; not only with so sure a foundation and so thorough a knowledge in literary activities, but also the resourceful attainment of being able to appreciate and to perform in the true musical sphere. In this light we have been very fruitful this year. We have a1-ready boasted of our original school songs, such as the “Alma Mater,” the “Ode to the Red and Black,” and the “M. H. S. Waltz.” To this list we can add a few more products of originality wmcn have been brought forth during the year for Class and Society work. Too, we feel that we have pushed to the front this year in having with us professors well trained in the theory of music. Under the direction to Prof. Riffle we have learned many new songs which have been ably rendered from time to time. Under the instrumentality of Prof. Rudisill, who has studied both instrumental and vocal music under Prof. Mors, of Brooklyn, N. Y., we have a very able orchestra which has rendered excellent numbers from time to time. Prof. Sheetz has taken charge and ably conducted a mandolin and guitar club. String quartettes and ensembles of various instruments have been frequently called together for the benefit or all. The members composing our various musical clubs are: CHORAL CLUB.

Mr. Montgomery has three children, Horace, Lavina and Bruce, who are filled with sufficient energy to give spice to the daily routine of life’s battles. : Ottortal WHY ‘PUBLISH J LAUREOLA ? First of all comes the old “Fogyish” question, “Why publish an Anual at all?” One might likewise retort, “Why does the sun shine?” “Why is a goose?” or “Why is a powder-puff?” They all have answers and for each there is a reason. In general the Annual is published by some class, because, all things being equal, it meets success more in that way. It is Class ambition that prompts the deed. The eager desire to perpetuate its memory, to give vent to latent energy and ability and to form an outlet to that ever present feeling of Class rivalry and superiority, which used to crop out in the class scrap may be given full sway in the issuing of a Class Annual. It is a far better, nobler and higher plan, and what better, more intellectual and long to be remembered contribution to the development of a Class name or to the good of an Alma Mater than a good lively Annual. Souvenir hunting is our American hobby. We are willing while at school to pay from ten cents to a dollar for pictures or views of teams, which soon become too bulky or inconvenient to keep. How much more economical, convenient for ready reference and more artistic to buy a souvenir of your High School, containing dozens of your favorite views, all your friends and classmates, your professors, athletic teams, orators, debaters, etc., who have oattled for the colors of the school or Literary Society, and for your glory, and together with these the glowing accounts of the events of the year, the humorous sketches and caricatures of the classes, the jokes and roasts, puns and gags all for a mere trifle. The Laureola will be the historical memoirs of your school days —the most pleasant and care-free of your entire career, the “white bread” of your life. Don’t tell us such things do not stir your feelings, and that your love and patriotism are slumbering. There is another item of account. The Alumni body. One continually hears High School men bewailing the apathy or the Alumni. Wait a minute! Ask yourself this question, “What are we, as students, doing or what have we done to merit any especial attention?” If you answer that question—really and truly answer it—you will have to say that the publication of the Laureola has kept us from year to year in touch with the Alumni of our High School and that it is their best record and catalogue of the things M. H. S. is doing. We hold this as one of the reasons why our Alumni have always been so ready to respond to our calls, to patronize our events, to return to our Anniversaries, commencements, and class nights, and to ever speak a favorable word in behalf of their Alma Mater. And as one more, among many reasons, let us say that an Annual furnishes the best possible advertisement for the High School. It rates our School as being energetic, up-to-date and progressive. The school alone will not recive the good of the Laureola, but those staff members who have worked hard to produce a standard issue of the book have in a way already been introduced to a Normal School or College before they enter. 51 GENERAL ELECTION (SMjKjuJnjujKjKtKJxjKjK McCleilandtown High School.
