Boyd...................Business Manager FOREWORD In compiling this twelfth volume of the Laureola we have tried to picture the life around G. T. H. S. in as interesting a manner as possible. We have, like other human beings, made our mistakes, but they were not made purposely. We have put forth our best efforts in completing this volume of the Laureola, and we kindly ask you to bear the mistakes and shortcomings with us. To the Faculty, alumni, students and all their friends who are interested in the Laureola we submit our humble efforts. THE STAFF. DEDICATION This, our twelfth volume of the Laureola is Respectfully Dedicated To WALTER ERNEST WARD. A member of the school board, whose faithfulness and devotion together with his exemplary conduct has proved a splendid contribution to the welfare of the educational spirit as well as an inspiration to all those whose privilege it has has been to come within the range of his influence. THE STAFF. —7— A RESUME OF LAUREOLA The Laureola was first published by the Senior class of the high school. The high school was organized in 1906 as a second class high school having a three-vear term. When the course was lengthened in 1916 to a four-year course, the publication of the Laureola was undertaken by the Junior class in order that no year would be without the annual. The class of 1910 had the honor of putting out the first edition of the Laureola. The Laureola, a pioneer among Fayette County publications, was brought into existence by a pioneer class of the high school, the class of 1910 being the second class to graduate from our Alma Mater. It was the first real annual in Fayette County, Perryopolis being the only other high school in the county to have any kind of a publication. The appearance of the Laureola brought forth other school papers and annuals until today practically every school in the county has its publication, with the Laureola and its companion publication, the Microscope, leading the list. German Township again takes the lead when she undertakes to publish a monthly newspaper which is being put out in a snappy and up-to-date style. The first copy of the Laureola is very small and insignificant when compared with the present day editions, but that is only another proof of the growth and standing of our school. It indicates achievement; measures in a small way our growth; sets a standard for new classes to follow. A book of twenty-five pages with very few cuts, mainly class pictures, completed the first edition, but back of that publication was all the school spirit that was possible to crowd into the old brick building on the hill. The school has grown, and the Laureloa has grown, but the early editions were the source of just as much joy and pride as the heavy volumes now published. May the proud spirit of old G. T. H. S. never give up! May the love of achievement, the pride of Alma Mater, and the desire to serve ever grow stronger!

McCann, T. N. Hartley W E. Ward RESUME GERMAN TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS As we make a retrospect of the year’s work, we are prone to say that it was one of success in every way. It is true that we were handicapped at the opening of the school term due to the fact that some of the new buildings were under completion. Yet, withal, both teachers and pupils were patient and everything turned out very harmoniously. SCHOOL ATTENDANCE The enrollment of school children has increased from 2,600 last year to approximately 3,600 enrolled during the year. The State Department made it mendatory upon the School Districts to enforce the Truancy Laws and conse-ouently German Township was compelled to fall in line. Truant Officer, A. L. Sharpnack, performed his work very efficiently, serving 567 notices during the year with 126 prosecutions. The percentage of attendance for this year was 91.3 per cent while last year it was but 81 1-8 per cent. —10— NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS On account of crowded conditions, the directors of German Township were compelled to erect a number of new school buildings, which were as follows: Messmore, 4 rooms, Total cost $29,517.86. West Masontown, 6 rooms, Total cost $33,984.88. Palmer, 6 rooms, Total cost $27,711.50. Lower Lambert, 4 rooms, Total cost $29,554.62. Ronco, 8 rooms, Building $64,197.00. Gates, 4 rooms, Building $34,148.00. Dearthtown, 4 rooms, Building $26,660.00. Extensive repairs are being made at a number of our Schools. Leckrone will have a basement, heating plant, in-s;de toilets, a retaining wall and concrete steps; West Mason-town, concrete side walks and an iron fence; McClellandtown, heating plant and inside toilets; McLain, a sanitary drinking fountain; the High School Building will receive a coat of paint on the inside from top to bottom. MEDICAL INSPECTION As required by School Law, Medical Inspection was conducted in the Schools of German Township by Dr. Hibb Sangston, Medical Inspector. Great good has been derived from his examination. Many pupils had defective eye sight, who immediately went to specialists to have them corrected. Number of pupils examined............................3186 Total Number of Foreign Parentage....................2130 Total Number of Defects..............................1137 Defective Vision .................................... 317 Defective Hearing .................................... 35 Enlarged Tonsils .................................... 285 Goitre .............................................. 10 Tuberculosis ......................................... 12 A number of pupils had been examined by Dr. Altman, County Medical Director, and excused from attendance at school. ORGANIZATION The German Township Schools for the ensuing year will consist of 93 teachers with 11 janitors. Our system will be well organized. In each of our large buildings, a janitor will be placed, who will serve as fireman, janitor, and Truant Officer all in one. Our experience during the past year has been, that where a Truant Officer was placed in the —11— building, the best attendance was obtained. This Officer calls at each room in his building every morning to find out the absentees and they are checked up daily. Our aim is to make each building an educational unit within itself.

We’ll guard her emblem well, that none may float ahead Of Alma Mater’s banner fair, the Black and Red (Harmony—Loud) Oh! Black and Red we love thy fair, fair folds; A treasure that each son and daughter sacred holds, Then proudly wave as years go fleeting by The emblem of our dear old German Township High. (Unison-Maestoso) Hail to the Alma Mater that we love, And love her well, as each can tell, Hail to the flag that floats above them all, The Black and Red must float ahead, Hail to the motto that we love the best, “Scientia potestas est.” Wave Red and Black forever, Falter may you never, Dear Old German Township High! ’Hhy praises we will sing, Oh! Alma Mater dear, Our songs and cheers shall ring, for you from year to year. The lessons we have learned in life shall be our guide, And may we all, at duty’s call turn back with pride. —J. B.

S. our thoughts wander to that bright and happy day of September 2, 1918, when the Class of ’22 entered the halls of German Township High School as Freshmen. We were all very bashful and shy, the upper classmen called us Greenies and of course we were proud of this wonderful name. On February 14, 1919, the Sophomore Class gave us a fine reception which was enjoyed by all. Thus as school drifted on slowly we did not feel so green for there would soon be others to fill our places as Freshmen. After a very pleasant vacation we again returned to G. T. H. S. in September 1919. And now we were glad to say we were no longer greenies but were known as Sophomores. During our second year we found many good athletes in our class. These athletes have done their best to make all athletics activities a success. Feburay 29th our class gave the Freshmen a reception. The Class of ’22 has always taken great interest in any literary work that was carried on within the two societies. During our three years in High School, many of our members have distinguished themselves upon the stage in plays in classrooms and in the science laboratories. The Junior Class contributed more basket ball players (REAL STARS TOO) to the “Varsity Team’’ than any other class in High school. In the Junior Class Play “Much Ado About Betty” we staged something exceptionally fine, and from the praise and adoration we got we believe that it was put across the footlights in a first class manner. Financially it was also a big success, and made available funds for the publishing of our Class Annual the Laureola. The present Senior Class has its “Radio Bugs” and sure enough a few have bitten our boys. When at the close of the present school year the Seniors shall have gone forth from their Alma Mater, not to return again next fall, but to assign us the honored and dignified position they now hold, we believe every member of our Class will prove worthy to follow our noble predecessors, and thus perpetuate the grandeur and glory of High School existence. —Mae Sharpnack ’22 —53— 54 SOPHOMORE CLASS MOTTO—Scienta nostra crescat COLORS—Blue and Gold.

T. H. S. for entrance When the doors opened, we entered the halls and were gazed upon by upper classmen who were sadly disappointed, for instead of being green our class was headed by the “Bryte.” We wandered around in class rooms and halls until we were called to a room to register according to name, age, size, height, weight, color and course desired. After our registration, our class was found to have among its members, the baby of the High school according to age. According to size we had members ranging from the size of Tom Thumb to the largest heavy weight in the county. As to color our class was made up of whites with the exception of one “Brown” and two blacks. At first the majority of the pupils showed a preference for the classical course, but after a trial, several turned to the scientific. After we were adapted to our teachers and new surroundings, the year passed very quietly with the exception of the reception given to us by the Sophomore Class and a half holiday given to the Freshies in order that they might show their colors in a picture. Examinations over, we left our green tools and supplies behind us for the future generations. After a very pleasant vacation we came together again in September, 1920 to take up the Sophomore tools. The beginning was not so difficult this year for our High School records were already started and the building and teachers were familiar to us. Our class is somewhat divided this year for some have not returned to school, and others are in the Commercial Department. One of the most lively events held in G. T. H. S. was the reception given by our class for the Freshmen. The most interesting event was the trip to the Carnegie Museum of Pittsburgh. Our ability as speakers, singers and performers was proven when we celebrated Washington’s birthday. We also have some good athletes as was proven by Tate in the Athletic Contest. We also have some of the best musicians in school. All these are achievements of the past and we hope to record better achievements in the future years. —Beulah Sterling. —57— —58— FRESHMAN CLASS MOTTO—Excelsior. COLORS—Blue and Gold.

We were all a dark green and everyone took upon himself to remind us of the fact. This was an exceptionally large class and it was necessary for it to be divided into three sections. We spent most of the first day wandering over the building trying to familiarize ourselves with our new surroundings. We found the teachers kind and obliging and the upper classmen sociable and agreeable. On November 16 the Sophomores gave us a very fine reception in the High School gymnasium. It was appreciated very much. It was poorly attended on account of the bad weather and fear of initiation. The mid-term examinations were looked forward to with considerable fear. They were not as bad as was expected and nearly every one passed. The term passed on with little change in the usual routine, until the end when we were looking to the time when we would be Sophomores. —Benjamin L. Humphreys. —62— FRESHMAN POEM Early in nineteen twenty, When I finished my eighth grade year. And was told I now was a freshman, My heart was filled with fear, For I wondered, “Just what are Freshman, And what may their duties be, For if they work harder than while in eighth grade I hope they’ll forget about me,” Of course I had read about Juliet And of what she said of the rose, So I thought, “Though I may be a freshman I will still feel the same, 1 suppose” But that evening I went on an errand To purchase some food at a store, And on all of their choicest of produce I saw the word fresh o’er and o’er. Fresh, meat, fresh fish, and fresh oysters, Fresh butter just in from the farm, Fresh peanuts, fresh pop corn, and fresh lemonade, Every where the word worked like a charm. And I cried, “Why I am a freshman, A title which should give delight And to think I was frightened, when really I now am important, “quite.” In September, I started for High School, When contented quite calm and serene, Where I sorrowfully learned e’er the first day was o’er When you’re fresh you are also green. The freshmen were more than one hundred. Enough to make stoutest hearts quail, And I think, from all of our teachers, There went forth a silent wail. When we were assigned to our classes, I decided the books were quite few Until I began on the Latin, —63— Then I thought, “Just this one would do,” And I am sure: to our Latin teacher, We have been an awful care; And some times I would not wonder If the poor man should tear his hair. But I know now why we were freshmen When first we entered High We had never heard of Latin And were vigorous and spry, But after we’d tried some translation And declined the verbs o’er and o’er; And all in deed were a wilted bunch, And could not be real fresh anymore. We are taught that this life is a struggle, Many troubles we’re all sure to find, And that we may meet them with reason We all must develop the mind. Perhaps some will attain greatness, And perhaps some be failures, alas But if one wants to learn how little he knows Just enter a freshman class. And then when one there finds his level, And is doubting just what he should do, As I did—just look on the Seniors, For you know they were once freshman too Oh the faculty, just to be like them! An honor, for which one does yearn Then remember I’m sure I know little So I am beginning to learn. For we’re tojd if we wish to gain knowledge, Before we have even a chance, To gain higher ground, we must first understand How humble we are—then advance. Therefore, I will not be discouraged, About the class of nineteen-twenty-four For then to the galary of German High Will be added one bright star more. —Winifred DePriest —64— —65— COMMERCIAL CLASS CLASS OFFICERS John Flintosh .................................President Joseph Glenn..............................Vice President Rosalee West...................................Secretary Coffman Smith..................................Treasurer Nancy Rist.....................................Historian Tito Parreco........................................Poet James Zimmerman .................................Monitor Coffman Smith.....................................Artist COMMERCIAL LAW CLUB Judge .................................James Zimmerman District Attorney (defense).........................Herbert Haines Asst.

We can best answer this question by pointing out a few of the accomplishments of the department as well as reviewing the work being done. There are in every community, both city and rural, a large number of the boys and girls who are financially unable to take up the courses leading to college work, young folks who aspire to some useful place in their community but who cannot afford the time and money for a classical course. These people deserve just as much from the community as those in good circumstances. The high school is endeavoring to furnish these people with an opportunity to acquire useful training in something that will enable them to be serviceable citizens, by giving commercial training. About twenty per cent of the total enrollment is to be found in this department. Every year the department sends out a number of graduates as well as special pupils who take up well-paying positions. Commercial students will be found taking part in many other activities than class work—activities that teach initiative, co-operation, and a sense of responsibility. Among other things that the pupils of the Commercial Department have carried on, is the publishing of the Microscope, the monthly paper which represents the high school. It is edited and published entirely by the pupils of the Commercial Department and represents no small amount of work. Many people greeted the first edition of the Microscope with pessimism, predicting that “like everything else it would soon come to an end.” It is still being published and each succeeding issue is looked forward to with greater enthusiasm than the previous one. Its publication is only a typical example of the things the Commercial Department has been doing. It has always been a center of school spirit, earnestness and loyalty to high ideals. —68— THE VALUE OF SHORTHAND AND TYPEWRITING (Nell Poundstone) One of the things learned from the war was the value of education—and particularly practical education. Our government led the way in making an earnest effort to capitalize this demand by establishing schools in the army camps where the men can obtain training in any field they may elect. We are told one of the most popular subjects in the schools overseas was shorthand. Time was valuable and the boys soon realized the advantage of being able to write shorthand for their personal use. The aviator who was equipped with shorthand could write his observations with more ease and bring back much more information than those who wrote longhand. This hunger for practical education is everywhere. It is interesting to note the personnel of the classes that attend night schools in the large cities. Men and women of mature years from various walks of life and ambitious boys and girls who have not had the advantage of a high school education, all assemble to study stenography and other commercial subjects; some for greater opportunities in education and culture, while others are preparing for opportunity in the business world. The college student with the ability to write shorthand can take notes that his fellow student who can write long-hand only is forced to miss. An apprentice boy in a machine shop will find it of great value in making notes of the instruction he receives. It is the same with the salesman, the clergyman, the lawyer, the doctor, and in fact there is no calling in which the ability to write shorthand will not prove an advantage. With the idea of a practical education in mind, I believe Gregg shorthand could be made an elective for a two-years course in our high school course of study for the benefit of those wo do not take the regular commercial course, and that the training of the mental and physical powers of the student will be quite equal to the training from a two-years course in a foreign language. In both cases there is the common element of changing language from one form to another : English to French, French to English; speech to shorthand, shorthand to the written transcript. In studying a foreign language, the beginner has to acquire a new field of memory facts and associations, new phonetics for the alpha- —69— bet, a new vocabulary with new pronunciations and new rules for grammatical construction. In shorthand, the beginner has to acquire a new alphabet, a combination of phonetics associated with the shorthand outlines and new rules for the use of this new alphabet of symbols. Shorthand, as well as the foreign language, will help establish more firmly principles in English, spelling, punctuation and precision in the use of words. The Gregg manual could be mastered the first year and once the theory of Gregg is learned, the content of the reading and dictation matter has no limitations. The second year could be devoted to the reading of books of distinct cultural value and dictation. The art of shorthand dates back to ancient Greece, and the invention of the typewriter in 1868 by Christopher Latham Sholes promoted its use in the business world. The typewriter is the medium through which shorthand notes find expression. Typewriting is really the backbone of the shorthand course, as it is the typewritten transcript turned out quickly and in good style, that the business man wants. Then the stenographer and the secretary must be good typists, having acquired accuracy and speed. The stenographer who is neat and accurate in his work is the one who will be given first chance. As a vocation there is no other that offers more opportunity for originality and advancement through personal efforts. There are positions paying good salaries for those who desire to be typists and the ability to type neat business letters may mean an increase in salary for the bookkeeper. Some of our students may use shorthand and typewriting only incidentally in their future work, but let us remember that these subjects are not only a means to develop the memory and skill in execution, but that the will is developed into unity and strength since the student must possess the power of concentration of attention. This power of resisting all attractions and inclinations—all mind-wandering and distractions—this power of continuous and concentrated attention is the very highest expression of power of which the human mind is capable. And, finally, stenography involves a general growth in the power of understanding and reasoning, while typewriting develops mental and physical discipline and skill. —70— LATIN DEPARTMENT (R. R. McCombs) The Classical course, strictly speaking, embraces four year's work in Latin, namely, Beginner’s Latin, Caesar, Cicero, and Virgil in the order named. In the first year, the student is given an opportunity to review his English syntax of the eighth grade, and to make a comparative study of English and Latin syntax. Much of the first year’s work is occupied in drill work on declensions, conjugations through all modes, and in English word-derivation from the Latin basic stems. It is from this source that approximately sixty per cent of our English speaking vocabulary is derived. Special emphasis is placed on Latin sentence structure in the ancient form, to afford a practical use of vocabulary, declensions, and rules governing Latin syntax. The importance of the first year’s work can not be over-estimated, Cum (not only) that it reviews the English, affords excellent memory drills, increases the vocabulary, and teaches synonomous word-usage Turn (but also), it is the foundation upon which the four years’ structure must be built, and if the first year’s work is done well, the benefits and enjoyment to be derived from the remaining three years may be fully realized. Critics have written much against the study of Latin but the fact remains that Latin is and will continue to be fundamental. The ancient language is of course obsolete, but as a foundation, as a basis for the study of English, French, Spanish, the Romance languages in fact, it can not be discarded, and its basic stems will live as long as language itself. There are two sections in Beginning Latin as last year in the Freshman class as against one section in General science, Sections A and C, and both divisions have been doing exceptionally fine work this year. A note book of rules, conjugations, Tense, formulas, and declensions is kept and considerable attention has been given to drill work, word derivation, the practical use of Latin and comparative word study. The second year class in Caesar have almost completed three books of the Gallic wars and have been regularly drilled in the fundamentals of the first year, military terms and modern warfare and prose composition taken directly from tactics of Caesar’s time as compared with the methods of the chapters which have been read. The third year class in Cicero has been interrupted and —71— retarded (De Causis Multis) for many reasons, namely, Library period, long Chapel exercises, musical instruction, play practice and many others, however, with all the disin-iegrating influences many of the best Latin students are in the Junior class and when we shall have completed “De Im-perio Pompei Oratio,” we have no doubt but that some of the boys will be able to plead a case at the Roman bar in true Ciceronian style. The style and outline of the Orations have been studied along with the legal practices and legal principles from which some of our modern laws derive their precedents. The work in the fourth year in The Aeneid consists chiefly in a study of the rules of scansion, translation, and a better acquaintance with the characters of mythology, as left us by both Homer and Virgil. Along with the story of the Aeneid which makes pleasant reading, we have found time to emphasize the various subjunctives, conditional sentences (Even though contrary to fact), and latin syntax in general. In closing, the chief aims in Latin should be memory drills, a larger vocabulary, a more complete study of the origin of language and customs, and above all others Better English. “FOOLISHERS” There was a queer man named Finnegan Whose favorite phrase is beginagin; He said to a lad Who looked very sad, “Cheer up, my boy, just grinagin.” “The lighting-bug is brilliant, But it hasn’t any mind; It goes out in the darkness, With its headlight on behind.” Joe G.—“Mary’s teeth are like the stars in heaven.” Tub H.—“Yes they come out every night.” EPITAPHS Here lies a Prof, once he gave us an “A,” He died when the administration raised his pay. Here lies a Freshie who entered “OUR” front door, He was seen by a Soph, alas!—he’s no more. —72— FRENCH (Marguerite Smith) French has since the middle ages played an important part in Europe since the Romans took civilization to them, they have advanced steadily and today, French is one of the three official languages of the League of Nations. General Foch was considered great enough to have command of all the allied forces during the late war and France, with help, was able to beat back again the enemy, who for centuries h s been trying to over power them. It is a language of soft tones and inflexions, one of the Romance languages. The war brought a closier friendship between us and a better understanding. Nothing makes friendship between two nations quicker and more lasting than the knowledge of each others language. French is also a commercial language. Its knowledge is needed manly in our eastern parts where French imports are steadily coming in. French was introduced in our high school three years ago when German was prohibited by patrotic motives, and since then many pupils have gained a working knowledge of the language, which even if never used commercially, will give them a wider scope in life and a clearer insight into what other nations beside ourselves are doing. In France is situated one of the world’s largest wireless stations, it has just been completed and has been given over to trans-Atlantic communication. It was constructed by American engineers at the close of the war and was constructed in order to bring commercial France into closer touch with commercial America. The internal commerce of France is carried on over its splendid system of roads, railways and canals. Paris being the center and the heart of commerce. France has sent over many of their best students to America to learn English and, also, our methods. In turn we have sent pupils over to study their language and Arts. We hope that the better friendship and understanding that resulted from the war will continue. —73— DOMESTIC SCIENCE (Minnie Hoover) Domestic Science includes Cooking, Planning and Serving of Meals, Home Management, Home Nursing, Nutrition, Sanitation, and a number of other subjects. It is the aim of this department to teach as many of these subjects as time will permit. All are very vital, and, though this is the fourth year of this department in our high school, we regret very much that, at no time, have we found it possible to include all of these subjects. This year for the first, in addition to cooking, Home Management, Home Nursing and Nutrition (Dietetics) were taught. Cookery is a much broader term than Cooking in as much as it includes the scientific principles for cooking the different classes of food. Very closely allied to Cookery is Dietetics, since it deals with the nourishment of the classes of food; it teaches how properly to nourish and feed the family from infancy to old age under all conditions of life; it instructs how to portion the five classes of food so that our body is properly nourished from day to day, and how to plan meals so that the housewife daily places before her family three balanced meals suited to their activities. That girls may derive much benefit from the study of the scientific principles of cooking, they must have a great deal of practical experience in cooking in advance of such study. The girls in our domestic science department have had an opportunity to do much cooking in family group quantities in as much as their finished product was disposed of in the lunch room. It is only natural that girls find the work most interesting when they can work with real quantities—in other words, do real work. During the freshman year the work consists very largely of practical lessons in cooking, while in the sophomore year more attention is paid to the scientific principles of cooking. Nine-tenths of the women keep house at some time in their lives, and ninety per cent of the buying for the home is done by women. Very unfortunately, the housewife, who is so largely responsible for the American digestion and bank account, is for the most part unskilled in the art of all that is included in housekeeping duties. Nutritive food in proper proportion, sanitary home conditions, and economy in the home, are the basis of health, wealth and happiness of a nation. Housekeeping is the only business in which a large —74— per cent of men often hand over their income to an absolutely untrained buyer to meet the household expenditures. Because of the economic wave, so pressing is the need of trained home makers that the State Department of Education is working out plans for the establishment of Home Making Departments in most of the schools. A bill has been presented to congress asking for Federal assistance in the training of housewives. DOMESTIC ART (Goldie Stewart) Domestic Art is household art. There is scarcely a woman no matter what her station in life, who does not employ part of her time in doing some kind of sewing. She has a natural instinct for keeping her fingers busy. That the occupation is an interesting instinct is shown by the eagerness in which the beginner takes up this work. The Freshmen girls unskilled in the handling of the needle and thimble apply themselves diligently, remembering that perservance and accuracy are absolutely necessary. Self-criticism has been encouraged; no work is accepted as satisfactory unless it is the best that can be done. The girls of this class have at this time made ninety-five combination suits, seventy underskirts and seventy white uniforms for use in their cooking class, besides keeping a sampler note book of all the different seams and stitches employed. Practice leads to the accomplishing of satisfactory results ; and while the making of attractive seams and small stitches is tedious, practice combined with the exercise of care and precision will overcome any obstacle that may arise; therefore, the Sophomore class make a few simple garments to gain more experience with the foundation stitches and seams and then pass on to the construction of more difficult garments. We will mention only the attractive gingham dresses made by the girls of this class. To the woman generally falls the responsibility of the wise or unwise expenditure of that part of the family income apportioned to clothing. Whether she spends wisely depends on her knowledge of all phases of the clothing problem. When selecting materials, one should be able to judge the durability, including the quality of the material, their suitability to the occasion for which the garments are to be worn and to the wearer, the becomingness of color and line, —75— and the price in relation to the clothing allowance from the income. To dress well is an art required only by study. Clothes have the power to make persons feel comfortable and at ease or to make them conspicuous and unhappy. This means that the costume should be appropriate and becoming, adapting the prevailing style to one’s own type of figure and personality. Dictates of fashion too often outweigh one’s good judgment. Clothing should interpret the personality of the wearer and emphaisize pleasing elements of face or figure rather than exhibit the prevailing fashion, which often exaggerates deficiencies instead of concealing them. The Juniors with experience and confidence embodied in the above have spent their year in designing and constructing fancy waists, serge skirts with patch, set-in, and tailored pockets, gingham and organdy dresses—with hats to match. Also twenty-five experiments in testing the aduleration of materials. “Right dress is that which is fit for the station in life and the work to be done in it, and which is otherwise graceful, becoming, lasting, healthful and easy: on occasion splendid; always as beautiful as possible.” “Simplicity is the one needful thing in furnishing; of that I am certain.”—William Morris. To the Senior girls is left the real art of woman’s sphere—the planning of a home. The term “interior decoration” is often misleading. Decoration implies first of all, something to decorate; by this is meant some form or arrangement to which decoration is to be applied, and the reason for applying it. The three phases of daily life—work, play, and sleep—suggest three divisions of space in the argument of a dwelling, the living rooms forming one group, the working parts another and the sleeping rooms another. The arrangement of the living rooms should be generous in feeling, some variety in the size, shape and direction of the rooms is desirable in the design of the living space. The living rooms in temperate climates should occupy southerly exposures—south, southeast and southwest—unless such an arrangement is contradicted by the direction of the view, prevailing winds, or other conditions of the site. And east dining room is especially to be desired, since the morning sun on the breakfast table starts the day off cherrily. Living rooms southerly and working parts northerly make a —76— good complementary for using to advantage the four exposures of a freestanding house. The bedroom is a place in which to rest and sleep. Anything in its furnishing and decoration that interferes materially with these two functions should be avoided. The bed, dressing table, chair and toilet articles seem to be essential for such a room. Spotted wall papers, floral carpets, scattered photographs, and the like, create a series of stripes and spots that are not only ugly in their arrangement, but unrestful, undignified and perplexing in their effect. Simplicity in arrangement has given to Japan her place in the art field of today. “When little Oumi of Japan Went shopping pit-a-pat, She bought a fan of paper And a little sleeping mat. She placed upon the window sill A lily in a vase, And then she stood and looked about With more than doubtful face For really, don’t you think With a lily and the fan, It is a little overcrowded? Said Oumi of Japan.” —77— MANUAL TRAINING AND MECHANICAL DRAWING DEPARTMENT (C. Stanley Rothenhausler) When manual training was first introduced into the High School course, in this country, it was with a decidedly different view than the one it has developed. As a student can be made proficient in the study of a foreign language or a science, he was expected in an average years course, of less than thirty-five working days, to become a skilled woodworker! A certain foreign country which was noted for having the world’s finest trade schools does not consider a man proficient at a trade until he has served seven years apprenticeship. This, perhaps explains why, in the High School, the hope of accomplishing the impossible, has been supplanted by newer ideals. So called “Trade Courses” have given way to “per-voca-tional” courses which openly confess to be but “trade samplings.” The practical way to secure the greatest returns from essential part of the education of the youth of today is to make him reliant and proficient in the use of common tools for all classes of work. When the critics of Manual Training realize that its aim is not to develop expert mechanics in a month (as has been pointed out) but rather to enable the future householder and producer to do any of the simple mechanical problems, that continually arise, in a neat and workmanlike manner, than its value will not be underestimated. Mechanical drawing has also been made more practical through a revision of old ideas. This particularly important art has been so highly specialized in relation to the various industries that it can no longer be generalized. We must remember that mechanical drawing is the language of the master mind, the designer, to the mechanic or producer. To be able to read or make an accurate drawing, tracing and blueprint, distinguishing all the various materials, methods of construction and conventionalities is an accomplishment. Macine design, or drawings which deal with the metal working machine trade, offer a most comprehensive field for school work. With the ensuing year an attempt will be made to take up architectural work, on a small scale, also. Our drawing department is well equipped for production of drawings and has sufficient appliances for blueprinting. A very complete equipment, including nearly every machine and mechanical device practical for High School use in a woodworking and light metal work enable us to a wide variety of work. —78— THE SCHOOL AS A FACTOR IN THE COMMUNITY (Lillian Rush) It has been said that schools are among the great discoveries of recent times. It has also long been known that the school was the hope of the country, but not until lately has its great possibility, power, and influence been felt or appreciated to the degree of making it the center of many activities. The school differs from other community organizations in that it is under the directions of professionally trained persons who devote their entire time for the efficiency of the work. The concept of the real purpose of education has been changing so rapidly until now the chief aim is that of preparing the individual for service in community life. The school may then be said to have two fundamental purposes, first, to train young people for citizenship, and second, to fit them to become factors in social progress. Moreover, the modern ideal in education recognizes no close dividing lines in its system, but is an instrument of service to the entire community, both old and young. It cannot be denied that the school and homes have gradually drifted apart; not because the teacher or the parents desired this condition, but because of social changes. The welfare of the school is still dependent upon a proper understanding and an appreciation between the teacher and the community. The belief is held, and right fully so, that there is a possibility of the school being made a great factor for social, economies, political, moral, and even religious advancement. The school must be more than a place for academic training or a place to which pupils are sent for one hundred and eighty days in the year. It should be so inviting that the average boy and girl will look upon it as the one desirable place to go. Children love music but often are deprived of the privilege of hearing good music at home. Therefore, it becomes necessary for the school to grant this privilege, and may it be mentioned here that too great care cannot be exercised in choosing school music. The same might be said of art. One or two well chosen high grade pictures are of more value than a number of cheaper one. Not only should the building and furnishings be artistic but there should be examples of —79— artistic work in paintings and sculpture so that a fuller appreciation of art might be developed. Communities should endeavor as far as possible to bring themselves into contact with the best thought of this generation on various phases of progress. In order that such a privilege be given, the school can and should become the center for lectures and educational entertainments for the people of the community. No community can be loyal to itself until it has a history. Many of our communities have grown so rapidly and have changed so often in population that no unity of feeling or loyalty exists. The school in aiming to build up unity and loyalty might establish a repository for community history. The school is also the logical place for a community library; it should be the connecting link between public health agencies and the peop ; it should be the place for the discussion of political questions and community problems; and it should aid in agricultural extension work, especially in rural districts. The aim of the work of the school should not be to do things for the people but to train them to do things for themselves and to a reasonable extent to provide the means for self activity. The school must reach out into the lives of those for whom it is intended. It must have within its curriculum, subjects that apply to the activities of the community. It must become a part of the community life as well as a part of the individual life. When such ideals are reached, the school will become +he vitalizing factor demanded by it. —so— READING (Mary E. Kelley) It has always seemed to me that everyone should acquire the habit of reading good books. One of the functions of the school is to instill into the pupil the desire to read. A pupil who reads good books is stronger intellectually, socially and morally than one who does not read. It is of supreme importance that a student read books worth while. By having them read fiction, books they like to read, the reading habit may be developed. Let them read anything they like to read, only that it be not detrimental, and the demand for heavier reading will grow. Emerson says that the reading of a book may decide a boy’s career in life. So we see that this matter of books and the right kind of reading is a vital problem. We may not be able to determine just what books will be instrumental in the development of an individual boy or girl; but, at least, we can point out those most likely to be helpful. Having sown the seed we must be content to let it grow and develop in secret. We must not be too curious about its progress. We remember Hawthorne’s symbolical story of The Great Stone Face and we have faith to believe that he who seeks and loves and moves among them, sooner or later will learn their ways and language, and unconsciously take on their likeness. There are many benefits to be derived from reading. In this day of hurry and bustle, in this day of work and struggle, surely the diverting pleasure and the inspiration of a good book is of some value. Moreover, through the door of fiction one may steal a glimpse of travel and even of religion, which may attract us into more instructive fields. Books are the treasure houses of knowledge. What is there of value, today of all days, in art, in science, in history, in religion that has not found a place on the printed page. We have left far behind the day when the statesman depended upon the spoken word; when it was necessary to travel to other continents to know them; when the poet’s audience was limited by the small circle his song could reach. Today the arctic and the tropics, the city and the desert are brought to our very firesides. Through books we may live in the times of Caesar, we may discover a new world with Columbus, we may fight by the side of Napoleon, we may —81— all see the visions of the Crusaders and of Joan of Arc. Through books we may become acquainted with the men of all ages. Besides being a store-house of treasure, the library should be a laboratory for instruction and research. For this purpose a library of reference books and historical books and magazines is necessary. Reading enables us to gain an ability to think, to appreciate and to express ourselves. Time and energy is lost by reading the trashy dime novel. If a pupil’s mind is filled with that kind of material he is unable to think clearly and his memory is impaired. The trashy novel is not uplifting, therefore, the reader is lowering his own character by reading it. Finally, I give the following suggestions to readers: read good things; read a book a month; vary your reading; read aloud sometimes; keep a record of the books read; own a few books. And may the day be not far distant when each community child through the school be given the opportunity to form that much desired habit of reading and to acquire the taste to recognize the “worth while” and the helpful in books. THE OLI) STORY My wife submits to my decrees, Yet sometimes she will murmur, “Honey, I’d like-to-have-a dollar-please,” I don’t see what she wants of money! I pay the weekly household bills; I must confess I think its funny, As I buy all her frocks and frills, I don’t see what she wants of money! I give her car-fare if it rains, She likes to walk if it is sunny; I pay her way on railroad trains, I don’t see what she wants of money! And yet she’ll ask me for a dime, With quivering lips and eyes all runny; I give it, but at the same time, I don’t see what she wants of money! WHY (Ashley C. LeDuc) Most people from childhood and upward are always asking ‘‘Why” when anything is told them. It seems to be instinctive in human nature to be skeptical and inquisitive. From this fact it has been possible for the human race to make the great strides that it has in past history. By always seeking an authoritative answer to the ever present “Why,” men have turned their attention to the solution of many of these questions. The great study called “Science” has been the result. At the present time we are offering to Freshmen in the High School a course in elementary science which is designed to teach the young mind how to solve many perplexing questions which would otherwise go unanswered. This course gives the boy or girl many new things to think about and brings home to him many of the simple things of life clothed in a different manner. In case a boy or girl does not complete his High School course this elementary science gives him some scientific knowledge but of course cannot go into the details of the subject. These he will get in the form of Biology, Physics and Chemistry in the later years of his High School course. The Biology course as outlined at present in the High School devotes the first half of the year to Zoology and the second half to Botany. For these courses a new and very valuable text book has been adopted called, “Biology for High Schools” by Smallwood. In addition to the text-book, many valuable ideas are gained from field trips and home observations. A careful study is made of the smallest plants and animals, as well as the largest, and man’s relations here to. In short, the science work at German Township High School for the freshman and sophomore years is designed so that a student will have many of his “Why’s” answered by the time he enters his junior year. —83— THE MICROSCOPE German Township High School was the pioneer in Fayette County in publishing a school annual and it is the first school in the county to publish a monthly newspaper of the style of the Microscope. The Microscope is in its second year and is certainly a very healthy youngster. Its publication has been undertaken by the Commercial Department which conceived the idea of having a monthly paper filled with school news that was fresh and up-to-the-minute. Its popularity with students and patrons has been growing with every issue and if the eagerness with which pupils and teachers greet each issue is any indication of its popularity, it surely is a success. Watch the students any day a new issue is brought from the press. From the time the copies are in the hands of the pupils until the close of that day’s session there is very little interest in anything but the Microscope. The Microscope board wishes to express its appreciation of the interest shown by the alumni, their words of encouragement and the offers of assistance. The publication is undertaken solely by the Commercial Department and with the assistance of the board who have generously helped us out we have kept your paper going. While it is published by one department alone, it is a school paper and aims to give all the school news. If any of you have been missed it is because you have failed to support the paper by making the contributions that you ought to make. When the Microscope was launched one pessimistic member of the community declared it would fail “like everything else fails,” but it is still going and if it ever gets into the valley of dry bones it will only be because we haven’t the strength left to push things. —84— A STORY OF MEXICO (Marguerite Smith) Some where, away back, farther back than any Aztec could remember, there had been handed down a legend of their wandering. How they had come down to this warm land where everything was always budding and green, from a far land away off close to the north star where everything was ice and even the Great Huitsilopotchle (the Sun God) would not shine all the time. After their wandering, some day they would receive a sign to stop and settle in a land that would be shown to them. And so when they reached what is now the spot where the city of Mexico now stands they heard birds singing “Ti-hui, ti-hui” which in Aztec means home, the Great Huitsilopotchli had shown them their home. Here they learned to eat fruits that they had never seen before, growing wild everywhere and game of all kinds. So Mexico was first founded and not as most people think; when the Spaniards conquered them. One day an Indian was along the lake over which Mexico City is built and he saw an eagle sitting on a cactus (the nopal) with a snake in its beak. He took this as a symbol of strength and power and today it is on the Mexican flag. The Aztecs were highly civilized they had compulsory education studied astronomy, trigonomy and were great architects. A great deal of their painted and engraved pottery still remains. Their calendar, although rather complicated is said to be the most perfect ever made. Their superstition led them to build their city on this iake and small island, where the eagle was seen. And so they floated logs, fastened them together, and covered them with straw and dirt and finally built their great walled and fortified city of Mexico. Here is where a fair haired, blue eyed man dressed in a white robe, came and counceled the Azetc- Chief (He is supposed to have been a ship-wrecked Norseman) and preached the Christian religion to them for twenty years and told them that some day the white man would come that looked like himself and rule over them and that when he came they should not fight, for the white man was strong they would win and take care of the Indian. This man disappeared but his Christian teachings had a great influence on their religion and so when the Spaniards sailed into the Gulf of Mexico and landed by the “Tris Marias” islands they found the Aztecs an easy prey. When they landed they fired their cannon, the Indians believed that the —85— Great Spirit was with the Spaniards. When the Aztec chief heard of it he sent rubies, diamonds, silver and gold to Cortez and begged him to leave but this only made him greedier and so Mexico was put under Spanish rule. Which had only the purpose of enriching themselves and destroying the Indian in view. Mexico was under Spanish rule for two hundred and ninety-one years during which time they had no schooling, and were slaves bought and sold by the Spaniards. Finally a priest, Miguel Hidalgoy Costella who was half Indian and half Spaniard, lived in the little town of Puebla in the state of Oaxaca started their fight for independence and finally ten years after this on the sixteenth day of September eighteenth hundred and ten, the “Grito” or shout of independence was given. They had won their liberty but the country was devasted and they had to begin to build their country on the ruins of what was left. Hidalgo is the Washington of Mexico and Juarez, their Lincoln. He reformed the constitution which is the basis of all law in Mexico. Like Lincoln he was poor, of pure Indian parentage. As a child he displayed unusual talent, and often while herding sheep, would study law. Finally he was noticed by a rich man and was sent away to college and gained political power as well as the love of all Mexicans. His speeches like Lincoln’s rank high in literature. Later on Parfirio Diaz was elected president and finally had power enough to hold the office for thirty years during which, though he was a strict “ruler” was the first to establish the public schools on a systematized basis. Where he failed was when he sold the Indian’s land to foreigners and giving all offices to people of the upper cast. In Mexico there are three distinct casts the aristocracy, the middle classes and the peasants. The men in offices, which were of the aristocracy, took advantage of the ignorant people and usurped their lands and taxed them so that they lost their property and animals. This was the cause of the civil war that has just ended. The common Mexican people or Indians as they like to be called, have really had just cause to fight and not because they love to but only the natural human struggle for existence and freedom. This has been the transition of the Mexican today. Now they are trying to re-establish their government and schools and to really have a democractic government by the people and for the people. The Mexican is bright and intelligent and quick at learning, but they are not mechanical and practical. They are a nation of poets, painters, dreamers, and musicians. There is no poetry that surpasses their’s although it is not very well known out side —86— of the Spanish speaking countries. In a few years Mexico will revive from this civil war having learned to respect the trust put in the presidential office and to know that she cannot keep foreigners out of her country and still progress, for American capital and the American vigor is what kept Mexico going before and will again put Mexican currency and trade on its former basis. Mexico has had a hard time existing and we should be more tolerant of our neighbor. They need our help and in helping them we incidentally will help ourselves. We should try and learn more about them and if we understood them better and they understood us better, I believe international affairs would run smoother. Of course the Indian still resents the foreigner’s coming in and taking their lands. But this was the Mexican government’s fault, because it was they that were selling their lands to foreigners. This is a hard fact to make the Indian understand today.

Sheetz) Have you ever heard people say “I don’t know one tune from another; I am not musically inclined; I can’t sing nor play; or that selection was beyond me, I couldn’t appreciate it. ? Did they boast of it 01 did they regret it ? Have you ever known any unmusical person who did not regret his failure to secure some sort of a musical education If so you probably put him down as a curiosity, for practically everybody now looks upon music as an essential. It is a language of everyday life; in the home, on the street, in church, theatre, concert hall—everywhere, in fact, that people congregate. It is a language that few can read, fewer still can write. The percentage of musical illiteracy is appalling. To learn to enjoy the good things of music one must learn music. To learn music one should begin at an early age, or the chances are he never will begin. It is unfortunate that the popular conception of musical talent leads many to believe that only a few are born with a musical ear, whatever that may be, and that no others need apply. Music is a matter of genius in about the same measure as literature. A great literateur is a genius, but what has that to do with the knowledge of how to read and write? Great composers require great talent in addition to an ample education; but they too have had to learn first the fundamentals of the musical language. In other words every child can learn to play moderately well, and to appreciate the master works of musical literature. There are many other advantages to be gained from the study of music, aside from the mere cultural value. Dr. Charles W. Elliot, president emeritus of Harvard University said “MUSIC RIGHTFULLY TAUGHT IS THE BEST MIND TRAINER ON THE LIST.” The study of music from a disciplinary standpoint is as valuable as the study of any language. As a science music has fundamental principles as definite and conducive to mental concentration as algebra or higher mathematics. As an art it combines the symmetry of architecture with the imagery of poetry. Music is a worthy item in any educational curriculum. Last year under the direction of the township musical supervisor we learned to appreciate some of the finer things in vocal music. This year in addition to concert and part singing we put special stress on instrumental music by organizing the Mandolin Club. Many pupils are also taking lessons on the piano under competent instructors. We have not yet come to the point where we allow school credit for outside instruction in music but hope to do so when the system becomes fully established. We have however this year given High School time for musical instruction and the results have been excellent. The pupils have carried all their work with no fall in grades and in addition a club of some twenty have acquired the art of playing stringed instruments very creditably under their instructor Prof. Harry Wirsing. They can rightly be proud of this extra accomplishment and are to be highly congratulated for this extra effort. Some of the selections rendered by the Mandolin Club are truly quite excellent and all has been accomplished within a space of four months time. This should be an example of the possibilities extended by our High School in the line of music and should inspire an increased zeal and ardor in similar activities for the coming year. —89— rdiu tea —90— “MUCH ADO ABOUT BETTY” The Junior Class play entitled “Much Ado About Betty,” was given in the High School Auditorium on the nights of April 22 and 23. The play was a success both nights and from the favorable comments heard by a number of people after the play one could truthfully say it was the best we have ever had. Considering the fact that none of the members of the class of ’22 had ever had any experience in performing before the public they did wonderful work and the class is to be congratulated on the way they worked for the success of the play. Approximately three hundred fifty dollars was the net receipts from the two nights and this amount went a long way towards publishing the school annual. Blanche Lardin and Herbert Haines as the leading characters of course carried away the honors. Miss Lardin has a pleasing tone of voice and a delightful personality on the stage. Haines played his part of the persistent lover with such vim that it was only right he should win Betty. Hallie Hastings was right there with the acting when it came to playing the part of a well-dressed movie queen who —91— was in danger of losing her husband. Oscar Smith as her husband played his part with a snap and distinction that was hard to beat. Opal Smell as nine-tenths and Wilson Ward as the other one-tenth were a scream as the wife with the henpecked husband Ebenezer couldn’t confine his love making to his own sweet ???wife and got himself into serious trouble and its accompanying curtain lecture. Mae Sharp-nack as the excitable old aunt that engineered the marriage was a decided hit. Mae has the making of a good performer. Paul Boyd as the mean old Major had a very difficult part to play, but certainly put his part across in great style. Sarah Roycroft as the maid was what you might call the •‘fetching” kind with her smile and smooth playing. Coffman Smith made a fine doctor and it was too bad his first patient a good looking young lady was already married. Phoebe West was a charming “old maid” from North Georgia, in fact she was too charming to qualify in the “old class.” Maude Stilwell as Mrs. Diggins had a difficult part to play inasmuch as it is difficult to make an old lady out of a charming young girl. Thelma Anderson delighted the audience with her cute drawling “Yes, Mamma.” Jack Rupert was the real article as a comedian and half-tipsy play-writer with a frosted nose. Joe Glenn and Harry Gray looked like New York’s Finest as the Officers of the Law. Ewing Yauger, Russell Sangston and James Butler were the high school boys. Estella Sterling made a hit with her catchy rendition of “I’m Free, Single, Disengaged and Looking for Someone to Love.” The song made a very pleasing addition to the play. Cecil Gribble made his debut as a black face artist and to say the least he certainly looked the part. His facial expression was good and his lines were well received a little louder voice would improve his part. The following chorus girls assisted Miss Sterling: Marie Hoover, Margaret Nicholson, Catherine McGinty, Elizabeth Blaney, Mary Flenniken, Edna Smell, Virginia Howard. Altogether the play was a huge success and Coach Riffle was well pleased with the work of the Junior Class. JOHN B. ROGERS ANNOUNCES “FI-FI” OF THE TOY SHOP” “A Spectacular Musical Fantasy.” Under the direction of W. F. Furgeson the play entitled “F-Fi” of the Toy Shop.” given at the German Township High School (auspices) G. T. H. S. on Oct. 14 and 15, 1920, was a decided success. Each character responded well to his part and the interpretation was especially good. “THEME” Bonnie, the toy maker’s daughter wandering in the woods near her father’s shop at the close of day, is overtaken by the Sandman, who casts her into a magic sleep, she dreams a wonderful dream, wherein the bisque and wooden creations of the toy-shop, come to life and many strong adventures befall herself and the toys before the morning light scatters the charm. “SCENES” Act 1.

What other two Americans are there whose examples have been so worthy, whose 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 eleventh 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.

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, Reneath 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. —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 fariest 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 grind 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. —98— THE VALUE OF A HIGH SCHOOL LITERARY SOCIETY (Estella A .Sterling) Societies in a general way are for the purpose of formulating and communicating a specific benefit to the people, which aim would be an extremely difficult task for the individual. It is through the society that one receives a decided stimulus and encouragement in the pursuit of an undertaking which goes to assure its success. The same is true of a literary society, though of course in this case the aim must be accomplished through the avenue of literary pursuits. A further limitation is imposed when we speak of a High School Literary Society which is the subject under discussion. This limitation, however, does not affect the sphere of activity of the society nor the available material for its use, but rather its membership which must be drawn from the high school body. The value of such a society composed of high school students for the purpose of literary pursuit would be hard to compute, but it must be in proportion to its measure of success. First, in creating a desire in the minds of its membership to familiarize themselves with the great literary productions of the dominating intellects of all ages and to become better acquainted with literature in general. There can be no worth-while contribution from this society except this foundation principle be well laid and strictly adhered to. The creation of this desire is very necessary to the value of the society, otherwise there would be machinery with no power to drive it. In the second place, the value of the society will depend upon its ability to draw practical lessons from the literature in question that can be applied with beneficial results to each member, then through them to society in general. In the third place, the value of the society will be determined by its capacity to communicate these lessons as beneficial results to the public in general. If the High School Literary Society is able to accomplish these three things its value to the community in stimulating high ideals and in the production of good literature by encouraging the careful study of it will be far reaching. The weakness of much of our literary pursuits is seen in the fact of its temporary effect upon us and a society of this kind will be valuable in conserving the results of these studies and making them permanent. If a High School Literary Society is successful in accomplishing these things then we should judge it to be a very valuable feature of the High School course. —99— ( LASS NIGHT PROGRAM Orchestra Address of Welcome...........................Clara Kelley Class Poem...............................Audley Crumrine Vocal Solo......................Josephine Marie Mechling Class Oration...............................John Flintosh Class Statistics................................... ....

S., has aroused much interest this season. At first we were seriously handicapped with raw-material but by faithful practice we developed a first class team. The lineup was thus: Haines and Kendal Forwards. They were the main cagers of the team each getting a large number of field goals each game. Zimmerman at Center always got the tipoff and made a few field goals each game. Tate and Glenn Guards. A large part of our success was due to our guards. They always played a good game and held their forwards to a few field goals. Our first game was with North Union. It was very one-sided, us being victorious 28-9. This game made the home fan feel confident in our team. The Alumni was over confident they could capture our scalps but made a mistake by issuing a challenge which we willingly accepted. The game was fast and interesting throughout. We, being the winners by a margin of eleven points. Our next victory was Mt. Pleasant. This was the easiest game we played this year. Our team showed excellent passing and team work this game and we won 38-11. We played several second class teams being victorious at home but losing on their floor. We have a good reason for this as their floors were too small for a first class team to work out on. Once we played in an ex-barroom that had passed out of existence July 1, 1920, and another time in a small dance hall. These defeats were nothing to mourn about as we were not outclassed in playing. Dunbar Township had a very easy time running up the score board on their floor but when they paid G. T. H. S. a visit and played on a real floor they were defeated by a margin of four points. Of course this was due to the referee. We played Connellsville and California Normal. These teams were a little strong for us as they defeated us twice each. St. Vincent College was the strongest team we have played this year. They were fast and hopeful and had fine team work. They defeated us 37-24., The wearers of the G. are: Haines, Kendall, Zimmerman, Glenn, Tate, Hoover, Smith, Rupert and Manager Riffle. The fact that we had such good coaching was another fac- —106— tor of our team. George Brown took much interest in the team as a coach as well as Manager Riffle. Opponets 9 North Union G. T. H.

A BE AI TIFUL LITTLE BALLAD . Down by the riverside they met— Did Romeo and Juliet, Her hand in his he placed and said, Fair Juliet, I would thee wed, Indeed? she queried, come let us go, Get in the boat and Row-me-o And as the hours quickly sped, A lunch before his love he spread. Says he, “Come let us eat, my pet,” And Romeo rowed while Jul-i-et. Oscar Smith—Traveling broadens the mind. Mae Sharpnack—Yes, and flattens the feet.
