The school we love the best, is German Township High, And far above the rest, her flag shall always fly. We’ll guard her emblem well, that none shall float ahead Of Alma Mater’s banner fair, the Black and Red. (Harmony—Loud). Oh! Black and Red wre love thy fair, fair folds; A treasure that each son and daughter sacred holds. Then proudly wave as years go fleeting by The em.blem of our dear old German Township High. (Unison—Maestoso). Hail to the Alma Mater that we love, Hail to the flag that floats above them all.

Thy praises we will sing, Oh! Alma Mater dear, Our songs and cheers shall ring, for you from year to year.

While thinking of High School days, our thoughts wander to the Dright morning of October 2, 1916, when we first entered the halls of G. T. H. S. as Freshmen. We were all rather “green” but after actresses, athletes, musicians and even an artist of great renown. We entered with fifty-two vigorous, ambitious boys and girls and it did not take us long to find that our class contained actors, actresses, atheletes, musicians and even an artist of great renown. We were sorry that so many of our number discontinued their journey before the first year ended, but the remainder of us struggled bravely on. With the help of our teachers we were a.ble to overcome all the difficulties which confronted us, and thus our first year’s work successfully ended. After the summer’s vacation, we were glad to get back to G. T. —16— H. S. again, but we left our previous year’s places for the coming Freshmen, and we became Sophomores. During that year the boys from our class took part in the various athletic activities and some of them were very promising athletes. One of the most interesting events of the year was the reception which we gave in honor of the Freshmen. It was very successful and everyone went home pleased. During the latter part of the year the entire class was saddend by the death of one of its most beloved members, Leroy C. Newcomer, who died in April. We have now finally reached the third step in the ladder of our High School course and although there are only fourteen of us remaining. we are still trying to climb higher. We always try to gain the high ground for there we will be better able to decide on our future course. The class looks forward to its motto, “Deeds, not Words,” as the guide post to the road of success. We cannot tell what the future of the Junior Class may be. but we will alwavs be loyal to our dear Alma Mater, G. T. H. S. —MARIK NICHOLSON. JUNIOR CLASS. Class Flower—Yellow Rose.

THE PATH. It is Juniors now we are. ’Tis knowledge we’re striving for. Three years now we’ve come, One year more before opr race is won. Then we shall part Only to make another start. ’Tis from our school we hath; The foundation of our path. There is a path winds up a hill, It is trodden with a will. I suppose you will want to know, What is this path? Where does it go? ’Tis the knowledge path of life, It goes where you lead, like a knife Be it the wrong or right side It will cut just where you guide. When at the end you look back On that hard trodden track, Thorny may be the track, Be sure it is the right one. With them Juniors bring Gladness like the spring. If sadness they find They leave it behind. The Juniors all are one In the path they must run. If they don’t make a stop They will all reach the top. —26— —MARY RAVEIA. JUNIOR SONG. Let the class of nineteen twenty Be placed upon the roll, And the members not so many, Whose honor shall be told; We will own our banners splendor, Nor honor shall it lack, While the whole class stands defender, Of the Yellow and the Black. Chorus So hurrah for nineteen twenty, The class without a fear, For its praises, which are many, Will increase from year to year. May each heart be filled with joy, When our praise for thee we sing, Dear old class of nineteen twenty, Our cheers for thee will ring; Let the motto, “Deeds not Words,” Be placed upon the track, So the class may reign forever ’Neath the Yellow and the Black. Let wave thy colors ever, Dear old class we love so well, For the scenes will live forever, Which have cast on us a spell; May the rose with all its beauty Bloom forever without lack, As the class of nineteen twenty And the Yellow and the Black. —ROBERT KENDALL. —27— SENIOR CLASS.

S. in the year of 1915, and where most of its members have gone and what has become of them, are the events which lead to the writing of the history of the class of 1919. We entered with one hundred and twenty-one bright and willing workers, and easily mastered the obstacles which confronted us. We are the largest class that has ever entered this High School, and of this we are very proud. The second year our number was reduced to eighty-three members and the third year to sixty-two. We regret that so many of those who started on the journey with us have discontinued it, but we are glad that new ones have joined our ranks and have shared our trials and triumphs. Now we enter the last year of our high school days with forty-two members of which number thirty-nine are thought to graduate. In various school activities our class holds a prominent place. We have never been excelled in Basket-ball. During our Jupnior year, we carried away all honors and thus won a large Championship Basket-ball Banner, which at any time may be seen in the auditorium of the High School. In Literary our class deserves special attention, while in the musical organization we contributed four out of the seven members in the orchestra. The best moments of our school life at G. T. H. S. found us faithfully and earnestly at work. We elected for our worthy officers, as President, Ray Nelson, and Secretary, Miss Elva Minor, and thus our plans are safely carried out by them. What the members of our class will become we cannot tell, but to G. T. H. S. we pledge once more our loyalty and faith, to bring whatever honors we may share in our lives to her kind name. —ANDREW J.

On September 3, in the fall of the year of 1917, the class of ’21 entered the halls of German Township High School, as Freshies. We were green as all Freshies are but not so green as some classes. We got along very well during our Freshman year and the Sophomores decided to accept us as a part of the school. They gave us a reception which we appreciated very much. Thus our Freshman year ended. On September 2, 1918, school opened after an enjoyable vacation. When we entered this year we did not feel so green for there were others to take our places, as Freshmen. School went along very well for six weeks, then the dreadful epidemic of Spanish Influenza broke out, and we had no school for nearly two months. We started back to school again determined to do our best during the short-time left for us to complete our work. About a month after we had started back to school the Influenza broke out in our class but we all recovered except one member, Laura Lane, whom we miss very much. On February 14, our class gave the Freshmen a reception. So the year passes on and we are looking forward to the coming year when we hope to be Juniors. —JOSEPHINE MECHLING. —35— SOPHOMORE CLASS SONG. (Tune—“America”) Our class we love so well, Of thee we’ll ever tell In tale and son?; We love thy Blue and White, We love thy spirit bright, We love thy aim for right; Let it prolong. Old Nineteen Twenty-One, Let good for thee be done By all thine own! We give our hearts and minds We give that pledge that binds, We give that hand that twines, To thee alone. Long may thy banner wave, O’er sons and daughters brave, Old Twenty-One! Oh may thy motto shine Beside the victor’s shrine, Behold thy battle line! Thy cause be won! —MARY V. HAGUE. —36— THE CLASS OF ’21 I was sitting by the fireside, As a fellow oft will do, The day was dark and stormy And I was feeling blue. While the cause of my depression And heart-aching was, alas! I was fearful of the future Of the present Sophomore Class. Then I had a mental picture Of this class, and failed to see Where you could pick one genius Prom the entire thirty-three. True they all were splendid classmates And not one by nature mean, Some were tall and some were shorter, Some were fat, and some were lean. But when you begin to wonder What this class could really do, You were forced to make confession, Their accomplishments were tew. Then there came a little story, To my mind of long ago, How there grew a tiny floweret Beautiful and white as snow. How it longed to be the color Of the sky’s deep azure blue And by looking and by longing, Into that color grew. • Xow there flashed into my mind A thought that startled me. How we could great heights attain, Our class of thirty-three. How we, like the little floweret Could become just what we would. If we chose for our example Persons noble, tried, and good. And I know that for these persons We should not have far to seek, For we meet them in the class-room, Five days out of every week. Suddenly the room grew warmer, And the sun began to shine And I cried. “There is no better” Than this good old class of mine. And while we hope that the other classes May go forth with flags unfurled We feel the class in ’21 Will surely beat the world. —HARRY De PRIEST. —37— FRESHMAN. I'he curse of drink.

Bright and early Monday morning, September, 1918, fifty-five, little, green “Freshies” came very backwardly in the door of German Township High School. Things at first seemed very strange to us, but we soon became acquainted. After we had settled down and had been assigned to our different rooms and different teachers, we found what a big problem we had before us. A few of our members thought it was entirely too big and at first chance, quit. One of our great achievements during the year, was the winning of highest honors in the “Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign.” The different classes had a race to see which would purchase the highest number of Liberty Bonds. When school closed on October 11, you might have guessed we were ahead. The Sophomores had planned a fine reception for us on October 18, but on account of the Influenza Epidemic it had to be postponed, until February, 14, 1919. It was the first great event of the season and we certainly enjoyed ourselves. School having been broken up this year, there wasn’t much time for Basket-ball and other athletics. We were compelled to do nine months work in seven, which took up most of our time. On the 28th of February, 1919, we went in a body to Uniontown to have our pictures taken. After the photographer finished we went to the shows and had a very enjoyable time. We have now completed our first year of work, which undoubtedly seemed to be a great relief, yet we are now looking forward to the next three years, which promises us plenty of hard work. With good wishes to the Seniors for success in their future, we will now wait, and in the following year assume the name of Sophomores. —RUSSELL SANGSTON. —41— FRESHMAN SONG. (Tune—‘‘Clear the Way for U. S. C.”) There’s a high-school that we dearly love to-day, For we love, yes, love it well; Every year we gather there a happy band, For we love, yes, love it well; Come let us raise our voices once again, In one triumphant strain, And w’ll praise our Alma Mater Where’er we go; And we’ll sing her glad refrain. Chorus. (Boys) We are the boys,—Rah! Rah J of ’22 Rah! Rah (Girls) We are the girls,—Rah ! Rah ! of ’22 Rah! Rah (Ensemble) We are the students of the Ger-man Township High School. We are the students of the German Township High—Oh!

At the beginning of the term 1918-19, a class of twenty-nine Commercial students entered the German Township High School. We had just finished the first two months of school when the Spanish Influenza Epidemic spread throughout the country and we were forced to close school for a period of eleven weeks. During that time Prof. I. N. Riffle left us, accepting a position as bookkeeper for a firm in Pittsburgh. He was succeeded by Prof. E. J. Goddard, a capable and competent teacher. During the early months of 1919, an employment bureau was or-agnized in this Department, whereby students were sent out to various • offices of the local works to assist in the clerical work, and with very satisfactory results. In each case the student was given full credit for work done, the same as if it had been done in the Department. To a student who is to enter a business career, the Commercial Course offers his sole reasonable hope of success. The student who understands Book-keeping, or Shorthand and Typewriting, need never be out of employment. There are a great number of opportunities for a person who has completed the Commercial Course. The Gregg System of shorthand is taught. This system is easy to learn, easy to write, and capable of the highest speed The Palmer Method of Business Writing has been continued. Certificates in Bookkeeping are awarded by the Southwestern Publishing Company Free assistance in securing employment is given by this company to a holder of one of these certificates. In music the Commercial Deparment ranks high having contributed several members to the orchestra. Our Alma Mater always found the Commercial students willing and ever ready to help in any of the High School events. Great interest has been shown by the students this year in the special courses given in the uses of office appliances which includes the Adding Machine, Calculator, Mimograph, Stencil Work, and the Dictaphone. Each student was required to take an extensive course of six weeks in the uses of these machines, and in office practice. Considerable interest is being shown by the students of this department in the first annual business show and exhibition which includes demonstrations of typewriting, mimeograph, adding machine calculator, and dictaphone work. The exhibition wil include work done by pupils, on these machines and also a special exhibition of penmanship. Of special interest is the typewriting contest. On Thursday. March 13th. the class went to Uniontown to have a photograph taken, and to visit the Court House and jail, both of which proved very interesting. Mr. Fee extended every courtesy in showing us around, and has the hearty thanks of the class for this part of the trip. —45— —FRANCES GRAY. COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT. (E. J. Goddard). During the past few years the Commercial Department in High School has been developing gradually, and from present indications, will see its greatest development during the next five or ten years. This development has, for a large part been due to the demands of business for High School graduates who have been successful in the study of —46— —47— Shorthand, Typewriting and Book-keeping. This demand is greater today than ever before for well trained students in these lines. In order to meet the demands of the business office in this present period of reconstruction however, it is necessary to be able to more than write shorthand, “run” a typewriter or keep a simple set of books. One must have a knowledge of business practice and know something of the routine of an office. In addition to this the student must be taught the value of initiative and efficiency through service. The encouragement of initiative in students is of prime importance and the principle that applies, centers in the fact that attaining an end does not of itself give satisfaction—but achievement as the result of conscious effort. Giving the student definite responsibility and letting him pick his own trail through a maze of obstacles usually brings out this necessary element—Initiative. We have so far as possible, given our students an opportunity for the development of this valuable asset by inaugurating in the Commercial Department this year an office training course which consists of an extensive six weeks training in the uses of the Adding Machine and Calculator. They also receive special training in the use of the Dictaphone and the Mimeograph. Instruction in the use of these office appliances has been based on the scientific principles and methods such as are used in large business offices in the surrounding territory. Another important factor which we have emphasized has been the Personal Equation in business. Very few beginning stenographers or business workers appreciate the power of attractive personality in securing a desirable position. There is no question that it is a vital factor in success. If an attractive personality plays so important a part in securing a position, it is evident that it is a feature to which the stenographer or other office worker should give serious attention. Ins nearly every position, personality not only has an important bearing in the problem of securing the position, but also in holding it. As the science of personal and business efficiency advances, the influence of a good personality, or lack of it, is seen to be of greater importance than has been commonly thought. An attractive personality cannot be acquired in a day by those who do not naturally inherit it. It is a growth, and it can be secured only by careful cultivation. INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT. (Wesley M. Rossier). Supervisor. The people, who are interested in the public schools, know that the fundamental purposes of all education in this country is to produce an American citizen who will be self-reliant, inclined to co-operation with his fellows, and disposed toward having a generous public minedness. To produce the desired intelligent citizen, we must not only teach, in school, the things necessary for a cultured gentleman of the seventeenth century but, also, the things essential to the American citizen of the present day. This is a thoroughly industrial age and, the students, who do not have some practical education during his school course, will find after graduation that he has not laid a foundation for the work he chooses, other than the theory of the subject. And every day it is being proved in the industries, that the people who have merely studied the theory of the subject without combining practice with the theory have a hard struggle. Industrial Departments have been started during the past ten years in thousands of high schools throughout the country for the purpose of giving the student an idea of mechanics and an insight into trade methods. The courses vary in different localities, but in all places, the student has an opportunity to become familiar with hand tools at least. The students are taught the necessity of becoming accurate in their work, and are trained to develop their hands to skillfully create objects that their minds have formulated. The German Township High School has one of the best equipped Industrial Departments for Woodworking in Penn-svlvania. While working in the shop, the students have all the necessary hand tools and power machinery needed to make anything from a rough box to the finest piece of furniture or cabinet work. As yet the department is in its infancy, this being only the second year it has been in service. And because of war conditions, the department did not open until March. During this short time, real work has been done and such things, as, lunch counters for the new lunch room, lockers for the athletic teams, large tables, and numerous pieces of small furniture have been completed. Next year, the Industrial Department intends to offer courses in Woodworking and Mechanical Drawing. The public .is invited to visit the department at any time and investigate the methods of procedure and the results. —49— DOMEST I SCIENCE, h SJ.Hoover- on Ra-ts— FOUR-YEAR HOUSEHOLD ARTS COURSE. (Minnie Hoover). With the advance of industrial art all of women’s worn., except the keeping of the house and raising the family ha3 gone from the home to the factory. But the greatest business of the household, the making of men and women, still remains in the home. Her assistants are the church and the school. So far, society has made no direct requirements for preparation on the part of the mother. There are many classes into which the mothers may be grouped in this unprepared state of motherhood. The most favorable to speak of is the intuitive or “born mother.” But notice, we have “born” teachers, preachers, doctors and nurses. But notice the difference in the way society treats the “born mother” and the “born” teacher, nurse, preacher, and doctor. It allows the mother to go pretty much her own way in the entrance to and continuance of her work. Not so with the others. Of them society has required special preparation, ranging from one to eight or more years of work be- - -50— yond the completion of the eighth grade. Much that is unwise in the rearing of children is due to the indifference, the inertia and lack of insight that arise from unpreparedness for the responsibility. Each generation of graduates from eighth grade and high school courses in house-hold arts should increase the number of homes in which babies and children will have better chances for survival and health. May the time soon be when the compulsory neriod of education shall embrace, for at least every girl, the basic hygienic, sanitary, and dietary principles and their application in concrete situations. Then more children will get a good start socially and mentally. To scientifically manage a home soas to expend the least amount of energy in doing the greatest amount of work, is quite an accomplishment. In the first place the housewife must know why she is keeping house. In the second place she must have a well defined system and know what labor savins devices are true necessities in helping her to do her work and add them to her home as soon as possible. Every housewife should know how to plan so that she can do her house work, and care for several children, and yet have time for herself or outside interests. Approximately three quarters of the families of the United States beiong to the “wage-earning” class. Especially in these homes household thrift should be a very important factor—thrift in handling that portion of the income given to the wife to meet the expenses of food and clothing. The housewife should know the value of foods to know what amount to purchase, why she should purchase more of certain classes of food than of others, and why she should purchase a variety. That the girls of our high school shall have an opportunity to be among the trained mothers of to-morrow, the following are the subjects included in our Four-year Household Arts Course: A. Practical Work. 1. Cookery and food study (Production, manufacture, transportation, composition, food value and place in diet). 2. Sewing and study of fabrics. 3.

SERGEANT JIM OF THE U. S. MARINES. (By Seymour S. Tibbals). Owing to the conditions in which the schools were placed this year by the epidemic and the loss of three months of our school term, the German Township High School decided to have only one High School play, “Sergeant Jim of the U. S. Marines.” This play was given Friday evening, May 2, and was a decided success. It was typical of the American attitude toward the World War and was carried out in an admirable manner. Each character responded nobly to his part and the interpretation was especially good. Cast of Characters.

Carlyle wisely said, “The meaning of song goes deep;” and a more recent writer has declared that “it goes as deep as the heart of man, the throbbings of which it controls more readily and widely than do the speeches of statesmen, .the sermons of preachers, or the writings of journalists.” All history reveals the fact that music combined with stirring and patriotic words, has in every age had a powerful influence on the course of public events. Lord Wharton boasted that his “Lillibulero” sang James II out of three kingdoms. The effect of the “Marseillaise” in arousing and exciting the revolutionary spirit of France is one of the prominent facts in the history of that country. To it is attributed the success of the French arms against those who assailed the young Republic. On board the ship Minden, during the bombardment of Fort McHenry an American prisoner wrote on the back of a letter “And the Star Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.” These lines have sung themselves so deeply into the hearts of a hundred million people that Old Glory has been kept waving over a free land and brave homes for more than a century An eminent military authority has been quoted as saying that music has no competitor in army life as a tonic for fatigue and depression. The splendid “morale” of our boys—the mental state which rendered them capable of high courage and endurance—was due in large part to music. The government found that organized groupsinging in the army was essential. Our boys sang in camp and cantonments as they never had sung before, and when they have come home we shall awake to the fact that we are a singing nation. A working knowledge of music, and some skill in musical expression are now recognized as part of the practical equipment of every man and woman who affects or merits any definitely important position. The song which is in the heart of every human being is as much a part of him as the skill of his hand or the cunning of his brain, and when the music of his nature is set free to the tune of his work, his fight or his studies; the individuality, the initiative of himself goes into his endeavor. Growing boys and girls have feelings and emotions which find release through the joy of song. They have a sense of rhythm that must be developed if they are ever to be able to keep step They may not make music their future means of livlihood, nevertheless they should all take part in group singing. There is nothing in any school that will so much improve the “morale’’ of the pupils as good lively, cheerful, spirited singing. Music is a part of the very existence of German Township High School, and we hope that our pupils may carry out into other schools, into their homes and into the world some of the tunes, they have here learned and the enthusiasm which such spirited songs could not have failed to produce. —62— —J.

(Paul Boyd, ’22). Almost every person during their life make collection of something, such as stamps, coins, postcards, etc. Stamp collecting heads the list of hobbies. The question may be asked, “What is stamp collection?” Generally, a stamp collection, which is made by an individual, is a collection of stamps of one country, of several countries, or of the world. What is the use in collecting stamps ? Stamp collecting helps you in your history and geography. When you get a stamp from a country you never heard of, you are enxious to know where that country is, and consequently look it up incidentally increasing your knowledge in your studies. Some stamps have pictures of great men and women on them and they help you to remember the names of these people in history. Stamp collecting is especially interesting now. There are stamps being issued every day on the account of the changes in the countries of Europe. The war has caused three thousand two hundred eighty-three new issues of stamps. Some of these war stamps are soon going to become rare and hard to get even though you pay a high price for them. The stamps of the United States, Great Britain, Netherlands, France, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Russia, Japan and China are the best stamps to collect and are sure not to depreciate in value. The stamps of Central America and South America are not good to collect as most of them are left-overs, which are cancelled by the government and sold by it to collectors or stamp dealers. When you start to collect stamps, buy a good album. The loose leaf variety is the best because if you deface one of the pages you can destroy it without defacing the book. The first stamps were issued in 1842 by Great Britain. The United States began to issue stamps in 1847. They were the five-cent brown and the ten-cent bluish stamps. These were used until 1851 when they were supplanted by —65— others. The first two-cent stamp of the United States was issued in 1862. It was used on letters mailed and delivered at the post-office. It was printed in black and had the portrait of Jackson on it. The first commemorate issue was issued in 1893. It was called the Columbian Issue and was for the purpose of celebrating the discovery of America by Columbus. The last commemorate issue was that celebrating the Panama Exposition. It was issued in 1913, and consisted of four stamps, the on, two, five and ten-cent denominations. The United States has lately issued the six-cent air-plane stamp, stamps, the one, two, five and ten-cent denominations. The four and sixteen.cent stamps were issued. The United States not very long ago, put into use two and five-dollar stamps, and a five-cent envelope stamp for foreign mail. The war has forced the United States to issue two hundred forty-five new issues of stamps more than some of the countries that were in the war from the start. Any boy or girl, who has a few old stamps, will find stamp collecting an interesting hobby for their future. Miss Dearth—“I thought you made a resolution not to smoke any more.” Paul—“I did.” Miss Dearth—“But you are smoking as much as ever.” Paul—“Well that isn’t ‘any more’ is it?” Miss Rush—“Gee! what curious mistakes men sometimes make. For instance, I have just been reading, that Columbus imagined he had discovered the Indies.” During a talk on character, Miss Dearth held up a picture of a kind faced old man. “Who is this?” she asked. “Longfellow,” chorused the class. “Good,” said Miss Dearth. “Edythe, tell me what you see about his face.” Edythe—“Lots of whiskers.” —66— NATURE STUDY IN SCHOOLS. (Lilian Rush). “Consider the lilies of the field how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin and yet even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.” When the Maker himself directs our attention to the plants around us, to notice how they grow, how varied, how numerous, and how elegant they are, we should surely find it profitable and pleasant to learn the lessons which they teach. Interesting as nature study is to all, it must be particularly so to young people. It appeals to their natural curiosity, to their lively desire for knowledge about things; it calls out and directs their power of observation and is adapted to sharpen and exercise the faculty of discrimination. To learn how to observe and distinguish things correctly is the greater part of education and is that in which people otherwise well educated are likely to be deficient. Natural objects everywhere present afford the best field for practice. Nature study should begin very early, even before the study of language, for to distinguish things carefully and accurately is simpler then to distinguish ideas. In natural History which comprises Botany, Zoology, and Mineralogy the learner is gradually led from the observation of things to the study of ideas or the relation of things. Nature study is based on truth, not imagination, and an accurate knowledge of nature, however simple it may be is essential. All people are in some way interested in plants, although not everyone recognizes that he has this interest. We all live largely on plants or plant products, and most of the world’s workers earn their livlihood by some kind of industry which deals with plants or with their products. Mankind is dependent upon animal life in many ways, among which might be mentioned, food, clothing, shelter, transportation, pleasure, and aid in warding off enemies. The environment of country life affords a wonderful opportunity for nature study in rural schools, and these schools should not be rural merely in location, but in spirit and purpose as well. The teacher must teach in terms of —67— children’s lives. That we learn to do a thing by doing that thing and not by doing some other thing was at one time a passing expression, but now it has become a living truth. Nature study is not found in books alone. Its spirit is to be found in fields of corn, wheat, and oats; in meadows of clover, alfalfa, and timothy; in pastures with cattle, horses, and sheep; in the barnyard with pigs and calves, and in the poultry yards where hens are cackling and filling the air with voices that put a song in the human heart. The child is ever interested in results and these results must be immediate. Hence a continuity of subject matter must be worked out and new devices are always necessary to maintain interest. Preparation for nature study wijl require a wider education than knowing a few flowers and trees and the names of animals used for pets. Ideals must lead further than an acquaintance with immediate environment. It is well that the child be led to see the beauties of nature, the ever-varying tints of the heavens, the beauties of wild flowers, and that it hears with appreciation the songs of murmuring brooks and of carolling birds, and to observe how the spider spins; but this work must be so built into the course that it can and will be of service later in the child’s school work. If so nature study will live and prosper in the lower grades of the rural schools, and should be correlated with every study possible, forming a valuable preparation for the study of natural science in the higher grades. Nature study that does not prepare children for real life by enabling them to gain an understanding and mastery of the physical conditions and the varied utilities of life is of little worth. It should develop self-reliance, respect for labor, and teach that only by one’s self action can one hope to be of service. A work so beautiful in itself, so filled with good and so essential to child development should be so constructed as to be a beautiful and solid foundation from which may rise an edifice not only of a structural beauty, but one that will contribute to the welfare of American citizenship. Miss Dearth said, “There were two rich men. The one gained his money by honesty and hard work, and the other gained his by fraud and gambling.” “Now Kenneth, which of these would you rather be?” Kenneth M.—“Which made the most money?” —68— FRENCH DEPARTMENT. We cannot but realize, that the Great War has brought about many changes in the history of our country. It has affected the course of Education. History must be rewritten. A change has already been made in the curriculum of the language department of many of our schools. The teaching of the German language in the schools has been considered a source of German propaganda, and consequently it is continuing to grow less popular; in fact, there are strong evidences that its’ teaching will be prohibited in the schools of Pennsylvania. At the present time, there is a bill before the House, introduced by Representative John L. Davis of Indiana, to determine whether teaching of the German language in the normal and public schools of the state shall be prohibited. It is predicted the bill will pass. German Township High School is one among the many which has realized the need of this change. Previous to this year, the curriculum has provided a three years’ course in the German language. But as a school which stands for the highest and truest patriotism, and, which wishes above all, to send forth from its walls boys and girls with the highest, urest, and noblest ideals it foresaw the many evils which might result from instilling the minds of the young with the German language and thought it advisable to introduce another language. A three years’ course of the French language has been adopted. A knowledge of this language is of more importance, and attracts greater interest today, than ever before. The literature written today contains many French expressions and unless we are familiar with the French language, we are unable to get the exact interpretation. The study of such literature as that produced by Victor Hugo, Balzac, Voltaire, Racine, Moliere and Corneille is inspiring and uplifting; and it is by the study of French literature that we cultivate an eppreciation of the French people, and a love for their beautiful land. People from all over the world, who have the opportunity to do so, will be very eager to visit France, and to see for themselves the battle scenes of the great war. A knowledge of the French language would add much to the —69— pleasure of such a visit, and would also better equip one to obtain valuable historical information. These are some of the reasons why the students of German Township High School are interested in the French language and appreciate the opportunity to make themselves familiar with it. The French language it not the most difficult language to learn. One peculiarity which makes it easier than other languages is the lack of declensions. Perhaps, the greatest difficulty is found in getting the proper pronunciation, for the French language contains some sounds which are foreign to the English language. But a thorough knowledge of the symbols representing the various sounds, and of the rules governing pronunciation, relieves this difficulty. The harmony of sounds found in the French language gives it a special attraction and makes it a most enjoyable language to study. Vive la langue francaise. —MARTHA HARTLEY. OUR HIGH SCHOOL AND THE FLU. On Friday, October 11th, Dr. Royer, State Commissioner of Health, closed our High School on ccount of the raging Spanish Influenza. Immediately, steps were taken by the H. C. Frick Coke Co., to turn our large High School Building into an Emergency hospital in order to combat the ravaging disease. The other coke companies sympathized with the idea and gave their hearty co-operation. All the stores in the community sent cots, bedding and other supplies. The Fairchance and New Salem Emergencies cooperated by sending most of their supplies. German Township High School was selected because it was centrally located and large enough to take care of all the patients. It was not very long until our new modern equipped building was transformed into a first class hospital in every respect. We had one laundry; the gymnasium was used for drying clothes; the domestic science room was turned into a diet school or boarding house in charge of Miss Hoover, our efficient High School instructor; the entire first floor was fitted into six wards accommodating 125 patients at a time; the auditorium and entire second floor consisted —70— of sleeping apartments for thirty nurses. Special nurses were employed for the community with headquarters at the High School and Hotel Le Roy. These nurses visited the homes and prescribed to the patients when necessary. The State Department, through the co-operation of Mrs. Frank Crow and Dr. Altman of Uniontown and Charles Albright of Scottdale, Supervisor of the Community Welfare for the H. C. Frick Coke Co., sent state physicians and nurses to relieve the local medical staff. Great good has been done through the Hospital, as many patients, who had been pronounced hopeless, and would have, no doubt, died in their own homes, were hurried into the Emergency where they were given the best of care and were cured. Three hundred and one patients were taken care of in the Hospital with but 25 deaths, many of whom were in a dying condition when sent to the hospital. The following localities which sent patients were: Par-shall 6, Ronco 3, Masontown 2, Carmichaelsl, Edenborn 50, Puritan 52, McClellandtown 36, Keister 1, Simmond’s Place 6, Palmer 10, Huron 1, Bessemer 1, Gallatin 4, Continental No. 3, 1, Gates 43, Lambert 38, Messmore 8, Mt. Braddock 1, Adah 1, Mt. Sterling 1, Martin 1, Leckrone 19, Hoover 13. We feel that the success of the institution was due, in a large extent, to Miss Margaret East, of Scottdale, formerly community nurse at Lamberton, who with the welfare of the patients at heart, worked faithfully night and day in the performance of her duties. The executive board consisted of H. N. Boyd, President; Frank Crow, Wm. Mer-vin, Alfred Franks, Vice-presidents; Supt. R. E. Rudisill, Manager. Medical Staff. Miss Margaret East, Superintendent. Dr. J. Hibbs Sangston, McClellandtown. Dr. J. Holmes Sangston, McClellandtown. Dr. J. L. Mechem, Masontown. Dr. Peters, Masontown. Capt. Brundage, Camp Greenlief. Dr. Carr, Detroit, Mich. Dr. Gerecki, Pittsburgh. Nurses’ Staff. Miss Edna Cress, Allegheny General Hospital, Pitts-—71— burgh; Miss Fredia Stern, Philadelphia Hospital; Miss Jeanne Packer, Haddenfield Hospital; Miss Meta Flesch, Bain-bridge Hospital; Miss Rose Jeffries, St. Joseph’s Hospital; Miss Lora Ellis, St. Joseph’s Hospital; Mrs. Cora Blackburn, Mt. Pleasant Emergency; Miss Mary Muir, Woman’s Homeopathic, Philadelphia; Miss Mary Wilson, St. Francis Hospital; Miss Ann McFall, St. Francis Hospital; Miss McKenna, Pottsville Hospital; Miss Hughes, Winnipeg Hospital; Miss McDonald, Municipal Hospital; Mrs. Mildred Fox, Allegheny General; Miss Kathryn Schaeffer, Union-town Hospital; Miss Amy Blanchard, Magee Hospital; Miss Bessie Whitezell, Magee Hospital; Miss Nelle Wagner, Philadelphia Hospital; Miss Luella Holdermann, Philadelphia Hospital; Miss Helena O’Hara, Harrisburg Hospital; Miss Flesch, Government Nurse, Camp Greenlief; Miss White-head, Government Nurse, Camp Greenlief; Miss Nash, Government Nurse, Camp Greenlief; Miss Weaver, Government Nurse, Camp Greenlief. Many of our teachers in the township rallied to Service in order to take care of the civilian population. Such response by teachers is highly commendable. We want to mention the following teachers and friends who assisted the Hospital Staff: Agnes Statler, William Huhn, Newt Johnson, Hallie Hastings, Cora Core, Madeline Hart, Mae Hostetler. Jason Gray, Mildred Coffman, George Dean, Mae Brown, Joe Defino, Steve Shenago, Anna Smith, Grace Keener, Paul Huston, Jennie Cavalina, Ella Durando, Anna Pisco, Nancy Huhn, Lillian Rush, Bertha Kenison, Minnie Hoover, Caroline Dugan, Annie Miller Gabler, Caroline Weltner, Kathryn Emery, Ada Shaw, Vera Ward, Ethel McCann, Helen Schnatterly, Lauretta Kennison, Blanche Mason, Dora Shaw, Virginia Guy, Willis Dugan, Florence Brooks, Haddie Hostetler.

Benjamin Franklin, “Pioneer Prose Writer of the North,” Statesman, Scientist, Inventor, Signer of the Declaration of Independence, Framer of the Constitution of the United States, First Postmaster General, Politician, Printer, cool, sagjacious Diplomat, “Honor of the New World and Humanity,” a peerless, practical man whose writings contain the complete gospel of common sense, “The first, and indeed the first great man of letters in America.” Sidney Lanier, “The Sweet Singer of the South,” Poet, Soldier, Virtuoso Flutist, Teacher of Literature in Johns Hopkins University, a man whose ideals embodied all that was beautiful, noble, grand, musical, rythmic, sublime, and whose pen gave us some of the finest verse in the purest English. What other two Americans are there whose examples have been so worthy, w’hose ideals have been so lofty, and whose scope and design has extended through such a wide range as that of Benjamin Franklin and Sidney Lanier? Is there any wonder that we are preeminently proud of the Franklin and Lanierian Literary Societies of German Township High School? This is the tenth year of their existence, and like all other school activities they have suffered much on account of the War and the Epidemic. This has been their year of least activity. Since the founding of these Societies in 1909 they have enrolled 502 members, 249 Lanierians and 252 Franklins. In these ten years 83 boys and 92 girls or a total of 175 pupils have been graduated from the High School and are now carrying these Literary Influences beyond the portals of their Alma Mater. LANIERIAN LITERARY SOCIETY. Motto: Virtus post funera vivit. Colors: Scarlet and White. YELL. Wah—Rah—Rah—Rah—Hoorah! Wah—Rah—Rah—Rah—Hoorah! BOOM! (Whistle) G. T. H. S. Lanierian, Lanierian, Lanierian! FRANKLIN LITERARY SOCIETY. Motto: Faith is Duty. Colors: Azure and White. YELL. Rah—Rah—Rah, Rah—Rah—Rah! Rah—Rah—Rah, Rah—Rah—Rah! Zig, Zag, BOOM! F-R-A-N-K-L-I-N, Franklin, Franklin, Franklin! —74— LANIERIAN SONG. From this old school our cheers and songs are ringing out. To help us on and lead to victory; G. T. H. S. has helped us all our honors win, Her praises sing in our society. Chorus. Lanierians are marching onward To the highest goals we lead the way; Our songs we’re singing, our cheers are ringing, We’ve fought our battles day by day, Lanierians are marching onward, Beneath the banner “Red and White,” It will protect us; it will direct us, We’ll sing the victor’s song with might. We stand for truth and “virtue lives beyond the grave, The motto that we hold best of all, Will lead us on and win for old “Lanierian,” With all our strength we answer duty’s call. When life is done and all have passed beyond the grave, The name we love to highest points will soar; Lanierians will stand for battles fought and won, Her victories will stand forevermore. —75— —I. N. RIFFLE. FRANKLIN SONG. 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 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 and 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. —76— OLD GLORY. He was but a tiny lad, As he played with his little toys. Just a romping little boy, With his childish griefs and joys. And oft times when he had tired of play And the hours seemed dreadfully slow, He would beg of his mother a story tell; A story of long ago. So his mother, one day in gentle words, Told him the wonderful story Of how his country got its flag, And why it was called Old Glory. Then many times, did the little lad Beg for this story true, Of the banner made of red and white With its stars on a field of blue. And though years passed, one by one, He forgot his childish plays. The love of Old Glory, and all it meant, Was as keen as in earlier days. A few years and the sturdy boy Had become a stalwart man. Always knowing right from wrong As only great souls can. And then when the call from his country came To defend her name so true, He answered at once because of his love For our glorious red, white, and blue. And now he sleeps in the spot where he fell, Where ended his life’s story, Adding his name to those who gave All they had for Old Glory. —HARRY DePRIEST. —77— OUR HEROES. (By Mary E. Munday, ’21). In the days of the Ancient World powers when nations were continually engaged in conflict, bravery was the most essential factor of a man’s character. He who would brave the dangers of the most perilous situations and unflinchingly stand where the fight was thickest, or he who would gallantly lead others to deeds of valor, was highly esteemed by all. Even in this advanced day, regardless of the innumerable issues which occupy our time and consideration we do not neglect to honor courage and sacrifice when they are willingly and unselfishly displayed. Who does not admire the man who is ready on the spur of the moment to defend justice at any cost? The one who shirks his patriotic duty and shows unwillingness in time of distress is a disgrace to his country and the disgust of mankind. We shall always revere the names of our former military leaders and statesmen and shall always think reverently of those who made the supreme sacrifice for our original independence and for the preservation and defense of the Constitution from time to time, but never in the history of our country has the obligation of honor been presented more expressly than now. We cannot conscientiously withhold the due praise from our heroes who are returning from the scenes of this recent, terrible world carnage proudly conscious that without them victory for the cause of democracy would not have been possible and satisfied that an opportunity of sharing in it was given them. And what reasons could we claim for showing disloyalty to these heroes? They have left all and braved the ocean in which lurked myriads of ingenious devices of warfare and have fought on foreign fields against the most tyrannical power that ever strove to wreck humanity—Prussian militarism in all its injustice and relentlessness, because they realized that this power was blighting civilization and they were determined that the rights of America should not be disregarded by those beasts of war who in their greed were attempting to over run the world. They were resolved that freedom must be preserved at any cost. The magnanimity of their service was reflected by their willingness to serve all, from the greatest to the least. —78— They were little concerned about personal interests because they knew that chances of survival were slight; they felt certain that the right would be victorious and should they fall it would not be in vain. They were eager to “have a hand” in the conflict because just the mere thought of “Hun” and “Kaiser” and tales of the barbarous treatment of the aged and innocent women and children made their blood boil, and when the opportunity for action came they fought with unequaled intrepedity. It is thought by some that war experiences have roughened our boys and familiarized them with greater evils and necessitated unprofitable indulgences, but these theories are not to be credited. The morale of our men measures up to higher standards than ever before. Real fighting on the Cambria sector has strengthened their power of endurance and determination of purpose. Scenes of Chateau Thierry and the Aisne have given them a broader vision of the serious issues of life. They come back to us with a deeper religion; not onl have their bodies been scarred but their souls have been branded with truth. In the reception of our heroes let us not forget those, who remained in the cantonments. They endured rigid discipline because thoro preparation was necessary to do their full duty most effectively but quickly. They felt keen disappointment when the signing of the armistice blighted their hopes of “going over” and sharing with their countrymen the glory of the fight. They are all heroes in the highest sense of the word and such we should consider them. They suffered unspeakable agonies that all people might have freedom which is life itself. Surely we should welcome these truest of all true Americans with approval expressed in every glance and praise in every word, and proclaim with a voice which will sound for ages the undying glory of an undying victory. Prof. Rossier (to Ed. P.lackshire)—“Ed, while I am out of the room you grind the tools.” After being out about twenty minutes Prof. Rossier returned and said to Ed, “Did you grind all of the tools?” Ed.—“Yes, sir, but I could not get all the nicks out of the saw.” —79— IN MEMORY.

How did you get your hands so dirty?” Jimmy Huhn—“Washin’ me face.” —86— Prof. McCombs—“Is my wife going out, Mary?” Mary—“Yes, sir.” Prof. McCombs—“Do you know if I am going with her?” The Corp.—“On the field of battle a brave soldier always will be found where the bullets are the thickest, you understand ?” Private Ray Nelson—“Yes, sir.” Corp.—“Then Priv. Nelson, where would you be found then, on the battle field?” Private Nelson—“In the ammunition wagon, sir.” Edna Davis—“I like the kiss waltz, but I prefer playing on the mouth organ.” Teacher in Physics class—“Robert, what was the weight in grams, of those 10 spheres?” Robert (being out the night before and about half asleep, yet not paying much attention to what was said, answered) “Hello, is this 5444-R-31? Could I speak to Helen? Mrs. Huston—“Paul, how does it come you always get F’s and D’s and Marie Nicholson over her always gets A’s and B’s?” Paul—“Well I hate to tell on dear Marie, but A’s for awful, B’s for bad. F’s for fine and D’s for dandy.” Miss Hoover—“How did you manage to make so much noise in the kitchen?” Fannie—“Well just you try to break four plates without making a noise.” Ethel—“My father is very good at reading faces.” Joe—“In that case I suppose I had better not print any kisses there.” When Robert K. was smaller he was altogether too garrulous in school to suit his teacher. The teacher decided to mention this fault upon his monthly report. The next report to his father had these words: “Bob talks a great deal.” The report came back by mail duly signed but with this written in red ink: “You ought to hear his mother.” —87— Miss Rush—“Frank, can you tell me what a hypocrite is?” Frank M.—“Yes, ma’am. It is a boy what comes to school with a smile on his face.” Aunt—“My goodness, Eddie, why did you take the biggest apple in the dish?” Ed. B.—“I was afraid someone else would take it.” Thomas H.—“I ain’t goin’ to school any more. Just ’cause I snickered out a little, Miss Hoover turned me over to Professor Sheetz and he turned me over to pa.” Mother—“And was that all?” Thomas H.—“No, Pa just turned me over his knee.” Prof. Rossier—(First lesson in manual training) — “And do you always stutter like that?” Glenn S.—N-n-n-no, sir. Only w-w-when I t-t-talk.” Miss Rush, in zoology explaining different grades of animal life, from man down to the lowest wiggler. “Now, Mae, you may tell me what the highest form of animal life is.” Mae Silman (very quickly and absent-minded)—“The giraffe.” Each morning Miss Dearth asks this question to the Freshman class, “What would you do if fire were to break out in this building?” The pupils repeat in chorus, “We would rise in our places, step into the aisle and march quietly out.” A few days later Mr. Rudisill came into the room and was sitting near the desk when Miss Dearth instead of asking the usual fire-drill question, said: “If I were to tell you that Mr. Rudisill is to speak to you this morning, what would you say?” “The pupils promptly answered, “We would rise in our places, step into the aisle and march quietly out.” Ethel McCann—“Yes I have graduated, but now I must inform myself in psychology, biology, bible...” Her mother—“Stop! I have arranged arranged for you a thorough course in roastology, darnology, stitchology, bakeology and a general domestic hustleology. Now, get on your working clothesology.” —88— One Freshie—“Isn’t the horse a peaceful animal?” Another Freshie—“In what way?” First Freshie—“Why he can always eat best when he hasn’t a bit in his mouth.” Marie—“What is your idea of a simple wedding?” Mertie—“One that costs only twice what you can afford.” Private Nelson—“What does O. I. C. mean?” Corporal—“Officer in charge, you simp.” Private Nelson—“0. I. C.” While teaching the Sophomore class in zoology, Miss Rush asked if any one could tell what a ground hog was. Mario Blassoti (very quick in answer)—“Please, ma’am, sausage.” “Mario, Mario, said the teacher crossly and in despair. What do you think your head is for?” Mario B. (scratching his head thoughtfully)—“I guess it must be to keep my collar on.” Visitor—“I suppose you are mother’s darling, Ruth.” Ruth S.—“No, I am my mother’s moving picture.” “Your mother’s moving pjcture,” said the visitor sur prised. “Yes, she always tells me that I should be seen and not heard.” Mother—“Tom is the worst boy in school and I want you to keep as far away from him as possible.” Lee (at foot of class)—“I do ma. He stays at the head of the class.” Clerk in Hotel to Porter—“Bill have you awakened Mr Rossier yet?” Bill—“No sah Boss, the handle am broken out of de sledge, and I can’t find me brass knuckles; but a ‘depth' bomb sho would come in mighty handy.” “I kept my head when I fell into the well,” said Tom Yanchus. “How fortunate!” replied Yvonne. “It must have helped you to float.” —89— Prof. Goddard after enlisting in the army started for camp. He did not know how nor whom to salute, or in fact anything about military etiquette. The second day in camp he was sent to the store-house for his uniform. When he received it, his hat set down over his eyes, his sleeves were about ten inches too long, his blouse about large enough for Jess Willard and his trousers much too large. On his way back to his tent he passed a Major and did not salute him. The Major called him back and said, “Say, look here,” ((pointing to the stripes on his sleeve), “See?” Prof. Goddard—“Huh! You haven’t anything to brag about. Look what they gave me.” Miss Hartly, while reciting the Senior History Class, asked the following question: “Can any one tell me who ‘Joan of Arc’ was ?” Bessie—“Noah’s wife.” Mr. Rudisill—“We don’t seem to have so much trouble with horse thieves as in the old days.” “No,” sighed Prof. McCombs. “Ain’t it awful how the automobile has took the poetry out of life?” W.tt Wt rit I ttrr ffje f nd!'
