A Good Fish Story ------o------ One morning Iasi summer, ‘Fat Jefferies was awakened from out his peaceful slumbers by his usual morning alarm, Mr. Rooster. Fat raised up in bed, rubbing his eyes with both elbows and very lazily gazed out of a nearby window. He saw the beautiful rays of the morning sun peering through the branches of a mighty oak on a distant hill which seemed to promise an ideal summer day. His first thought was to go fishing. In just a very short time he was dressed and was seated a: the breakfast table helping himself to the half-dozen eggs which his mother had cooked for him, and reaching mechanically for the two loaves of bread on the opposite side of the table. In quite a hurry, he found the pick and set out to dig some “bait,” and while in the hurried operation he got excited at his misfortune at finding no worms, and made a mis-lick and chopped off his “big” toe. He nearly fainted at the sight of blood, but remembering the fishing trip, which would be spoiled at the delay of a faint, he hurriedly tied it back on with his large, red, cotton handkerchief. While going across the field to the pond, the red handkerchief scared one of the large white cows, which in much determined anger took after Fat and he. in as much more excitement, forgot all about his toe, and began a hasty retreat towards the opposite side of the field. Hut, alas ! The cow was too fast for him. It made a straight bee-line for him, and in a few healthy jumps and springs was upon him, and—it just helped him away he went, bait, line, hook and sinker, sprawling over the ground. He got himself together, finally, and still full of determination, made along a few—his head got ahead of his feet some how or other, and his way, by a round about course, to the pond. While seated on the bank, half asleep, a frog leaped from the bank into the pond, awakening him all of a sudden, and thinking the cow was there, he made a desperate leap for the opposite side of the stream. But mighty-rae ! S—P—L—A—S—H ! He split the water with a jar! HELP! he cried. And help was at hand. His “Maw” helped him—home with a lengthy pine shingle. 10 i Ijtt itmtory ---o--- COLORS ‘ Red anCl Black MOTTO : Scientia est potestas. --------0---------- faculty J. B. Sheetz, A. B. R. E.

[—t—t—t—+ —] MY AUTO Iy auto, ’tis of three, short cut to poverty—of thee I chant. I blew a pile of dough on you two years ago, and now you quite refuse to go, or won’t or can't. Through town and countryside, you were ray joy and pride; a happy day. I loved thy gaudy hue, thy nice white tires so new, but now- you’re dowrn and out for true in every way. To thee, old rattle-box, came many bumps and knocks; for them I grieve. Badly thy top is torn, frayed are thy seats, and worn; the whooping cough affects thy horn, I do believe. Thy perfume sw-ells the breeze, while good folks cough and sneeze as we pass by. I paid for thee a price, ’twould buy a mansion twice; now everybody’s yelling “ice” : T wonder why ? The motor has the pip, even thy skid chains slip, and woe is thine. I, too, have suffered chills, ague and kindred ills, en-‘ deavoring to pay my bills since thou wrert mine. No more ’twould choke a cow, as once before. Yet if 1 had the rnon, so help me John, Amen, I'd buy myself a car again, and speed some more. f l-H-t-] Tl o n’ts Don’t try to be “rough.” The fellows don’t care if you are a preacher’s son. Don’t preach. There is too much competition. Don’t take yourself too seriously. You probably are not worth it. Don’t take yourself too highly. Every one else will do that. Don’t try to be funny. Nature lias already done a great deal for you. Don’t anticipate making a new pun. There is none. Don’t quarrel. There is too many causes. Don’t smoke. It’s no use. 20. Getting a Good Start [ —t—t—t—t—] The first great lesson a young man should learn is that lie knows nothing; and that the earlier and more thoroughly this lesson is learned the better it will be for his peace of mind and his success in life. A young man bred at home' and growing up in the light of parental admiration and fraternal pride cannot readily understand how it is that every one else can be his equal in talent and acquisition. If bred in the country, he seeks the life of the town, where he will very early obtain an idea of his insignificance. This is a critical period in his history. The result of his reasoning will decide his fate. If at this time he thoroughly comprehend and in his soul admit and accept the fact that he knows nothing and is nothing; if he bow to the conviction that his mind and his person are but ciphers, and that whatever he is to be and is to win must he achieved by hard work, there is abundant hope of him. If, on the contrary, a huge self-conceit still hold possession of him and he straighten up to the assertion of his old and valueless self, or if he sink discouraged upon the threshold of a life of fierce competitions and more manly emulations, he might as well be a dead man. The world has no use for such a man, and he has only to retire or be trodden upon. When a young man has thoroughly comprehended the fact that he knows nothing, and that intrinsically he is of but little value, the. next thing for him to learn is that the world cares nothing for him— that lie is the subject of no man’s overwhelming admiration and esteem—that he must take care of himself. Society demands that a young man shall be somebody, not only, but that he shall prove his right to the title; and it has the right to demand it. Society will not take this matter upon trust, at least not for a .ong time; for it has been cheated too frequently. Society is not very particular what a man does, so that it prove him to be a nun: then it will bow to him and make room for him. To me one of tiie most disgusting sights in the world is that of a ycung man with healthy blood. broad shoulders and a liundrt d and fifty pounds move or less of good bones and muscle, standing with iiis hands in his pockets, longing for help. I admit that there are positions in which the most independent spirit may accept of assistant c—may, in fact, as a choice of evils, desire it; but for a man 21. who is able to help himself, to desire the help of others in the accomplishment of his plans of life, is positive proof that he has received a most unfortunate training or that there is a leaven of meanness in his composition that should make him shudder. When a young man becomes aware that only by his own efforts can he raise into championship and competition with the sharp, strong, and well-drilled minds around him he is ready for work, and not before. The next lesson is that of patience, thoroughness of preparation, and contentment with the regular channels of business effort and enterprise. This is, perhaps, one of the most difficult to learn of all the lessons of life. It is natural for the mind to reach out eagerly for immediate results. As manhood dawns, and the young man catches in its first light the pinnacles of realized dreams, the golden domes of high possibilities, and the purpling hills of great delights, and then looks down upon the narrow, sinuous, long, and dusty path by which others have reached them, he is apt to be disgusted with the passage and to seek for success through broader channels, by quicker means. Beginning at the very foot of the hill and working slowly to the top seems a very discouraging process; and precisely at this point have thousands of young men made shipwreck of their lives. Let this be understood, then, at starting : that the patient conquest of difficulties which rise in the regular and legitimate channels of business and enterprise is not only essential in securing the success which you seek, but it is essential to that preparation of your mind requisite for the enjoyment of your success and for retaining them when gained. It is the general rule of Providence, the world over and in all time, that unearned success is a curse. It is the rule of Providence that the process of earning success shall be the preparation for its conservation and enjoyment. If he be a stranger, he will find every man busy with his own affairs, and none to look after him. He will not be noticed until he becomes noticeable, and lie will not become noticeable until he does something to prove that lie lias an absolute value in society. No let ter of recommendation will give him this, or ought to give him this. So, day by day, and week by week: so, month after month, work on, and in that process gain strength and symmetry, and nerve and knowledge, that when success, patient and bravely worked for, shall come, it may find you prepareu to receive it and keep it. The development which you will get in this brave, patient labor will prove itself in tl’.e end the most valuable of your successes. It will help to make a man of you. It will give you power and self-reliance. It will give you not only self-respect, but the respect of your fellows and the public. A. W. M. )• During the past school term we had almost forgotten the litlie old school house on the hill. It seems to frown down upon us like a deposed Monarch who knowing his day is ended, still yearns for that power that once was his. I said we had almost forgotten it—but no ! we still remember. Who can forget the little incidents that took place there ? Who does not remember Prof. Sheetz’s smoking stove ? Who forgets the big fire in which the entire school marched out in perfect (?) order? Who can truthfully say they disremember having a part in the sneezing pow der incident ? Friends, those wore (he good old days. No more do we see the boys strolling out Blaine Avenue, enjoying a peaceful noon’s smokp without interference from the faculty. No more do we see Prof. Sheetz with a malignant look in his eyes working at the old stove, (beautiful stove), with the thermometer below zero. No more do we la ar of a freshman losing his wearing apparel and going home in a barrel No more do we see the Professor toting coal from the basement. All this has passed and we alone are left to grieve. But cheer up ! Do not pine for the loss of M. H. S. Be up and doing ! Ther ' is a future to be made for the new School that has taken the place of the old. Let M. II S. lie in her glory but do something for G. T. H.

Junior poem -------0-------- There came to school three years ago, The Class of ’Seventeen, But soon we’ll be about to go. This Class of ’Seventeen. We’ll linger here just one more year. May those who follow still revere, , The Class of ’Seventeen. When we have left this dear old school The Class of 'Seventeen, And passed beyond the teacher’s rule, The Class of ’Seventeen, May all our futures still be bright. And every one turn out just right. This Class of ’Seventeen. We struggle here with high intent. The Class of 'Seventeen. A few perhaps on mischief bent. The Class of 'Seventeen. Yet at our parting each will say, “Farewell.” lor all must part today. The Class of 'Seventeen. May none be found who duties shirk, In Class ot 'Seventeen. We served the school in good hard work, The Class of 'Seventeen. In grateful praises let us show Our love has never ceased to grow. The Class of 'Seventeen We wish our school-mates happy days. The Class of 'Seventeen. And hope that they can ever praise. The Class of 'Seventeen. Our pieseirt virtue we decry, For soon we’ll have to say “Good-Bye, The Class of 'Seventeen. When Father Time rolls up the year. The Class of ’Seventeen, The eye now dry may press a tear, The Class of 'Seventeen. When other classes nrngle here. We’ll hold our High School just as dear, The Class of 'Seventeen. —SARAH M. DEARTH 2S. Jifflaal ,—± ±—$—t—] HORNETS. (By: “Bill Nye”) Last fall I desired to add to my rare collection a large hornet’s nest. I had an embalmed tarantula and her porcelian-lined nest, and I desired to add to these the gray and airy house of the hornet. I procured one of the large size, after cold weather, and hung it in my cabinet by a string. 1 forgot about it until spring. When warm weather came something reminded me of it; 1 think it was a hornet. He jogged my memory in some way, and called my attention to it. Memory is not located where I thought it was. It seems as though whenever he touched me he awakened a memory,—a warm memory, with a red place all around it. Then some more hornets came and began to rake up old personalities. I remember that one of them lit on my upper lip. He thought it was a rosebud When he went away it looked like a gladiolus bulb. I wrapped a we: sheet around it to Lake out the warmth and reduce the swelling, so that 1 could get through the folding doors, and tell my wife about it. Hornets lit all over me, and walked around on my person. I did not dare to scrape them off, because they were so sensitive. You have to be very guarded in your conduct toward a hornet. 1 remember once while I was watching the busy little hornet gathering honey and June-bugs from the bosom of a rose, years ago, 1 stirred him up with a club, more as a practical joke than anything and he came and lit in my sunny hair; — that was when I wore my own hair—and he walked around through my gleaming tresses quite a while, making tracks as large as a water-mellon all over my head. If he hadn’t run out of tracks my head would have looked like a load of summer squashes. I remember I had to thump my head agains; the smoke-house in order to smash him; and I had to comb him out with a fine comb, and wear a waste-paper basket two weeks for a hat. Much has been said of the hornet; but he has an odd, quaint way after all, that is forever new. 29 Commencement [-t—t—t—t-i Commencement! What a thrilling word to hundreds of young school workers! How full of meaning the word is! How many bright prospects beyond it. Did you ever stop to think just what the word means? Let us consider it from a different standpoint. When we hear the word commencemennt our minds instantly revert to the scenes of school life, probably to some in the past, and surely to some in the future. We see the young High School student eager-eyed, excited, happy, feeling he has four years of work well done, ready to receive his reward. We see him step forward, receive his diploma, and step back knowing that the years work has been worth while. We follow him through four years more of good, steady appreciative college work. It is June. Once more he is engrossed in the joys and excitement of commencement. By this time he is older, sober by the thought that this is really his commencement, that he must part with friends, that ties strongly knit in the past must be broken. We see him mingle with his classmates, recalling happy days during their college life, and making bright an glorious plans for the future. Once more we see him step forward to receive the well deserved reward, with shining eyes and happy smile. His desire is gained the prize won the precious hours not spent in vain. All this seems to indicate that commencement mftins the end or to finish. But does it mean that? No. Commencement means a beginning of new things, something as yet untried, unknown. It really means then as we leave school, we are leaving behind the direction and guidance of teachers and fellow workers; we are no longer under supervision with help at difficult points, but thrown on our own resources, we must answer for ourself. Commencement means the beginning of a new life. The student is now a man or woman of the world. During his school career he has chosen his field of action. He must now enter upon those duties. How will he do it? Will he succeed or fail? Many are watching him. What will be the result? With beating heart and steady step, he marches forward, enters his career, keeping his high ideals and ambitions ever before him, knowing that “Success treads on every right step” and “not failure but low aim is crime.” No du'y neglected, never shirking, what will be the result ? Success, wholesome, well earned success. Let us therefore rpmember, young student, no ideal is too high. no ambition too great no gcod too far away, but that it may be attained. “The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept. Were toiling upward in the night.” Let us strive to keep ever before us the meaning of our commencement. Let us close our school career with the knowledge of past things accomplished and a hope for the realization for the future ideals and ambitions. “Let us then be up and doing. With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing Learn to labor and to wait.” —iM A RG U E RIT E DEARTH.

The world is on the move. New standards have arisen, and new demands are in force in every phase and line of life. The farmer who but a half-century ago, rode in the stage coach, to-day is enjoying the comfort o-f an Automobile and Street car. It is he, who at the same time cat his grain with a cradle and threshed it with a flail, is now driving the self-binder and has his threshing done by the steam driven, automatic stacker thresher. It is a similar change that we have experienced in our High School in German Township. But a decade ago, with a Principal and one teacher together with a handful of pupils, our High School was organized for community service and education. We were satisfied with the ineffective work, handicapped with insufficient apparatus, because it was the best could be had. But times have changed in the school as well as on the farm: and as this Laureola goes forth, we are proud to beast of a High School that has outgrown the times and which to-day stands as one of the best Township High Schools in the State. We are proud of its almost a dozen instructors, it’s two hundred and seventy-five pupils and all the advantages that the School affords. We might pause for a moment and avk ourselves the question: “Why not a Greater German Township High?” Are we not just as intelligent as the town boy and girl? Are we less interested in our work or less industrious in our studies? Do we not make as good use of our education? Are we not entitled to the same share of happiness and success which only a good education can give us? There are no more brighter or more responsive children in our whole System than those coming from our own midst. We, rural boys and girls, represent the best blood, brawn and brain of people anywhere. We are not afraid to work. We are earnest and sincere. We greatly profit by a good education, and are seriously handicapped without it. So we think that we are entitled to as efficient a system as can be found anywhere. The primary object of our Greater German Township High is to train for efficiency,—that is to give the pupil something practical— so that he can be of some use to both himself and others when he gets out. For that reason a curriculum course should be made reflexive 38. as we have tried to make the course fit the pupil instead of the pupil fitting the course, so a pupil has a chance of taking up that phase of work which he prefeis. He may enter the Classical, the Scientific, Agricultural, or the Vocational Course, all of which tend to direct to a desired aim. To obtain this, class work cannot be neglected for other things. President Wilson, ex-president of Princeton, to this effect, that the side shows there had assumed such importance that liittle attention was paid to the main circus. This can be applied to every High School as well, but it must be remembered that every circus must have its side-shows if it is to be a first-class circus. So every High School must have other activities besides class work. The Class work alone is not sufficient to keep any student from participating in some other branch of school life, and in fact, for the glory of the High School, it is the duty of every student to engage ia some of the activities. German Township High will be at ilts greatest when it excels in all it's branches in scholarship, in athletics, in it’s musical organization, and in it’s literary work. A supremacy in the Athletic field brings glory to a High School and it behooves those who take a part in this branch of High School activities, to do their best, thinking more of the honor and glory of G. T. H. S., than personal fame. Old G. T H. S. has done noble work in the past, let us remember when he says: “Education is the founder of the State.’’ So lot us strive to make “Time’s noblest offspring the last,” and make G. T. H. S. an even “Greater German Township High School.” —PROF. R. E. RUDISIEL. 3'H$tQTTJ We as Freshmen of the German Township High School, are coming to the close of our first year’s toil and trouble, so we mean to give you a brief history of our class which has been the largest that has ever entered this institution. Numbering one hundred and twenty-two bright and willing boys and girls—the largest dn number, but looked upon as the least by the members of other classes. As we stepped over the threshold into our Freshman year, we realized we had a burden on our shoulders which seemed to us as heavy as a millstone around our necks, which we would have to bear the whole year through before we could take a higher step upward, but by careful guidance and diligent watohing of our able professors we have been able to bear the burden. The most noted event which took place during the year was when we were given the glad hand of Fellowship by the Sophomores, when they tendered us a reception which was given in the srnooi building, and was enjoyed by all which were present. Early in the beginning of the term we organized our class, electee officers, adopted colors, composed a yell, and selected a motto. For our colors we chose Lavender and Gold, and for our motto, “Finis Coronat Opus. meaning: “The end crowns the work,’’ which we have sued as a guide on our road to success. In Literary work it has been our aim to advance to higher standing which could be seen by the interest taken in the meetings. We feel that we have been greatly benefitted by the work of the past year, so we depart, bidding you all an affectionate farewell. 42. —LLOYD CRAGO. ifrrsliuteii Hull James Province, Anna Bilovesky, Cordina Baraabti, Egidio Blasotti, Katy Collins, Walter Collins, Williajn Cameron, Martha Cutright, Elizabeth Dalzell, Ethel Ewart, Ethel Fast, Margaret Ganoczy, Nancy Huhn, Sterling Honsaker, Mary McCabe, Martha Mickey, Wilfred Milliard, Emil Premru, Stewart Ramsay, O.

Domestic Science in Our High School Domestic science is coming to be a tremendous force in our new education. The girls of to-day are ;o be housekeepers of tomorrow. There is no business that requires a keener mind, a deeper knowledge, a broadened grasp of the whole subject than that of the home-making, and an important part of the successful home-making, is an intelligent knowledge of buying. There is a limited group of women who think keenly, feel deeply, plan carefully, spend wisely, and these can step into any position and fill it well—may their tribe rapidly increase. The outside world has completely revolutionized the routine and management ol the home. Commercialism quickly saw the opportunities in applying the factory system to home industries. It was not long before the housekeeper found herself face to face with the relative values ot factory made and home made articles before she was aware the housekeeper became the prey of unscrupulous manufacturers who formed trusts, manipulated supply and demand, and increased the cost of living. So the girl finds herself in a world of trusts that touch every phase of her daily life. Unfortunately, the home, in very many instances has failed to cope with the new situation—it has faiied to make a science of the problem. This domestic science is doing for the home. New situations beset the home on every side. The homemaker should learn to use to her fullest power the law of supply and demand. While She is no longer a manufacturer, she should learn to be a wise consumer. One of the first needs that confront her is an intelligent knowledge of the requirements of her own home. Each home differs, or should from it’s neighbors. To help this desirable work on, every woman should have a clear, sane idea of the value of money, and i know of no way in which this can be done than by allowing her to live a business life for a short period, during which time she will be compelled to conform to all the rules of the business world, meet, her own expenses in every way. Assuming that the housekeeper unders ands the purchasing value of money, the high cost of living makes it necessary that she learn the composition of food, and how it nourishes us; the cost of food and how to buy; the principles of food preparation suitable combinations and amounts of food. It is the purpose of domestic science to educate the girls of today in all the problems of household management, so that she can purchase within the earning capacity upon which she must depend and yet satisfy the bodily comforts of the members of her home. We have gotten too far away from the ways of thrift. While the factory as no longer in the home the housekeeper should use the factory material and develop the finished product. Commercialism has wisely set to work to manipulate the development of the finished produce. We can low buy our clothing ready to wear and our food ready to eat. So the consumer is paying both intrinsic value and commercial value. The home has too well fallen in line with this new situation. The girl tries her luck in making some article, if not successful in her first effort, she puts it aside and buys the waited article ready made and congratulates herself on how nice it is to obtain a thing without any effort on the part of herself In its construction. Thus we are losing the art of construction in the home. We need thorough training schools whereby girls may learn in a systematic way the an of thrift; may be instilled with an interest and a pride in making their home a place of construction. There is dignity in labor. Labor is the finished product of an education. Thus Domes, ic Science in our High School will help our girls to meet the industrial, financial, economical and social problems of the home and community from the standpoint of special training. Efficiency that meets the demands of the times is productive of the best results. But the real alue of such training will prove itself best when the girls of today become the housekeepers of tomorrow, and must piav their part “Real” on the s age of life. -MISS MINNIE HOOVER. 0 Bell Phone 71-R Custom Tailor 49. Masontown, Pa Commercial Class (Cmnmmial lEiitturtal [--t-M-H. Stenography and bookkeeping aic the two chief means by which young men and women are enabled to enter the business life. There are two reasons we may say for this one. using this as an occupation, the otheiJ, using it in your own business career. But, before I go further, let me discuss preparation for taking up this work. Many people in the past have considered a public school training sufficient, but this has proved its inefficiency in practice. Defective work has brought lower salaries and this has caused young men to look upon it as a woman’s employment. This is due to the lack of preparation and the advantage taken of it by less reliable schools. Good schools now require two or more years of High School work. W.it;h this previous preparation the graduate of a business course is well equipped to enter business. Not even should the college graduate look upon it with disdain. Higher requirements are being made in every line, but it is illustrated nearer us by the High School and Normal training required for teachers. As an occupation there is no other that offers more chance for originality and advancement through personal efforts. The two most important, those 1 will mention, are private secretaries and court reporters. The stenographer who is neat and accurate in his work is the one who will be given the first chance. These are the things our teachers are emphasizing. Now combine the two with ambition and you have an excellent result The young man or young woman who takes an interest in their employer’s business and is striving to attain success will always find room for advancement. Men are hunting for these kind of stenographers who will bear some of their burdens for them. They are also ready to pay a salary in accordance with your efficiency Court reporting is one of the severest tests of business schools, ft takes a qu ck, active, well-trained mind to report verbatim the proceedings of a court room. This also gives a sufficient salary. Even though he is not employed the whole year, a reporter may earn a considerable sum of other work. Second and most important is the benefit to the person who is going to enter either a profession or business. The training acquaints him with the work of a stenographer and he knows what to expect from one. It also helps him with his problems as to his action in disputes and points of low. Then in the professional man we will mention the lawyer. He often wishes to take notes and the only way to take them correctly is in shorthand. He also needs typewriting in writing documents. You may say he should have a stenographer. Why have a stenographer when he can do it himself at a less cost? Then anyone trying to work their way through college or into a profession it may be a help iin shortening much of his work as well as a money help. And in closing let me say, just as much as you put into your work, that much you receive in return. 1. Book-keeping 2. Spelling. 3. Commercial Arithmetic. 4. Penmanship. n. Commercial Law. B.

That was in 1910, and Lanierians are still the kind that “get Talked about ’ When we say “Ta'ked about.” we mean that the Lanierians did some things that made ;he people sit up and take notice. Have you ever noticed that as a rule, the people who never do anything worth while, get very little said about them? The Ianieiicn Literary Society has always been a society noted for its victories in school and cut, its loyalty, its enthusiasm, its earnest members, and its high aims. Its members have always stood for originality of thought and work, and thorough preparation of the work at hand. Our motto, “Virtus post funera vivit,” has had a great deal to do with this. What is virtue? Webster says: “Manly strength cr courage; act’ve power; excellence, merit, worth, and rectitude.” When virtue is continually held before us as a thing to achieve, the result is bound to be everlastingly good. The Lanierians have done excellent work this year. The work has been spirited, original, and very entertaining. The recitations, essays, and discussions were educational and refreshing. The debates have been on questions from equal suffrage to economics These were well discussed and showed careful study and preparation on the part of the debaters. The Gazette has broadened out until it has the largest circulation of any society paper published here. It has been bright, and special mention must be made of the girls’ quartet and of our violinist, Miss Quinet. The Round Table is another original idea of the Lanierians. and has proven a very popular addition to the program. In fact, this year’s work has been highly successful from every standpoint and Lanierians can feel pioud tha: they are gaining ground every year, and bid fair to become famous and receive their just reward. To all the Lamerian Alumni, we extend an invitation to visit the society whenever possible, and to the patrons of the school wre would say. W alk in. We would remind those prospective s udents of the High School that the name Lanierian stands for “VIRTUE,” and when they become members of the school, :f they are sincere in their woik, they may have the opportunity of being one of us. VIRTUE LIVES BEYOND THE GRAVE. 70 Hattferum 01 0 t-i-i—t ] . „n0t; are ringing out. From tiii-s old school our cheers and sous0 To help us on and lead to victory; G. T. H.

The emphasis of educators now is being transferred from the acquisition of knowledge to the acquisition of the power of doing things. Education does not consist entirely or primarily of what one carries away from High School in the shape of knowledge, but a large part of it is the power one acquires over material things and over himself. With a true appreciation of this type of education, it was that seven yeais ago back in the old High School building the Franklin Literary Society was organized. Many a time the old hall reverberated the clash of argument from our great debaters, re-echoed the sounds from the lips of our orators, and chimed with the sweet tunes that gushed from the hearts of loyal Franklins. Time and iime again the dear old Azure and White has waved in victory, and never has Franklin called upon any of her members but that they felt her ever-impelling motto, Faith is Duty,” and gratefully responded. This has been our year of greatest 'enrollment, and all must acknowledge that the Franklins have contributed their good share of members to the athletic team’s musical organization and dramatic clubs of the High School. It is needless to tell here of our victory in Basketball, as that is a fact generally known but before we close, to the incoming Freshmen we wish to say that if you are looking for an opportunity to get training in self-control, to form correct habits of speech, to organize the power of thought and to become able to recognize sound reasoning; if you want, to learn how to acquire information on subjects in which you are interested, to grasp the central issues in any problem and learn how to present truths in a convincing manner, in the ranks of the Franklin Literary Society, you are welcome. 73 iFranklm mt0 ------o------- A song of dear Franklin we will sing kind friends to you. And give our dear G. T. H. S. all praise and honor due. 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 eternity; To dear old Franklin’s standard may we keep our hearts arighti Hurrah, hurrah for Franklin, the Azure and the White! The White and Azure proudly floats o’er Franklin’s famous hal1 Extending a most cordial welcome to her members all; No spot cn 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. O.

This is mostly due to the conveniences we have in and around our new High School building. Basketball and baseball are the two most important of our athletic games. No football team was organized this year on account of the lateness in our beginning school, as we did not begin until the middle of October. We expect to have a winning team on the field next year under the able coaching of Prof. R. E. Rudisill. This was a very successful season for the basketball, as all people in and around McClellandtown were very much interested in this game. George Brown, ’18, was elected Captain of the varsity five and had a good team on the floor, winning six out of the thirteen games played. A most complete schedule was arranged with the best High School and Collegian teams in the County. The team was coached by Prof. R. R. McCombs. The faculty team composed of only members of our teaching squad, had a very successful season, winning three out of four games played Prof. I. N. Riflle was captain of this team. One game was lost to the Grade Teacher’s speedy five by a very tight score. They easily outclassed the strong Faculty team of the Uniontown High School in two games and also the North Union Township High School Faculty in one game. The girls played but two games, losing one and winning one, both being played with Dunbar Township High School girls. The game that was most looked forward to by the students was the inter-society game between teams from the Lanierian and Franklin Literary Societies, Alva Molton. ’17, was captain of the Lanierian team, while George Brown. '18, was captain of the Franklin Team. The teams were very evenly matched and it was not until the last second that the game was won but in the end the Franklins came out victorious by the tight score of 25 20. The Baseball season has just been opened with only two games played. A fine schedule has been arranged for the season. 94. —PAUL RAMSAY.

Agricultural Department -0— Our schools are missing their mark if they do not prepare their boys and girls for the times and industries where they are located. As everybody knows some persons who are trying to be successful in their profession are making sad failures, because they did not know what they were most naturally qualified to take up, and when once started they did not wish to change. In other words, they did not find themselves in time, to prevent the failure. It was partly with this thought in mind and partly because of the rural environment of German Township High School, that an agricultural course was installed at the opening of the new school building in October, to serve not only those who wish to take the course, but the many farmers of the Townsh'p as well A very complete equipment has been furnished for the class room and laboratory work, including a universal wood-working machine for the carpenter shop. Although the class numbers but ten this year, the interest which they are taking and the good which they may do in their neighborhoods, are more than enough to remunerate the rural taxpayers for the expense of the course, and it is noped and believed that this course will grow and become an important fac:or in the solution of our rural problems and in making our community as we all wish to see it.—the best in the land. -------O------- NAMES OF THE AGRICULTURAL CLASS.
