(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! Thy 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.

SENIOR HISTORY (Concentrated, revised, altered and censored) On the beautiful morning of September 2, 1918 we entered the doors of German Township High School. The grass around the High, especially on the Athletic Field was a beautiful green and so were we. At least the upper classmen must have thought so because they gave us the highly honored name of Greenies which we of course loved (?) very much and were exceedingly sorry to part with at the end of our Freshman Year. After entering High School we found that a big problem confronted us, in fact a few found it so large from time to time that they have given us a fond farewell and disappeared. We were 55 strong when we entered under the roofs of German Township High School, now our number has dwindled to 33. We are sorry that 22 has found the problem too large for them to scope with and departed. One of our achievements during our Freshman year was the winning of the highest honors in the “Fourth Liberty Loan Campaign.” The classes had a race to see which could sell the highest number of Liberty Loan Bonds, the people liked green so we naturally won. About this time the Spanish Influenza broke out and school had to be postpored, until February 14. We were sorry that some people had to have the Influenza, but we were not sorry that school had to be postponed. After school took up again, the Sophomores gave us a reception. Not many Freshmen attended, probably because we knew we would be the center of interest. At last came the much dreaded final examination which we passed by the skin of our teeth (if we have any skin on our teeth) and were admitted to the royal order of Sophomores. After a very much needed vacation we again entered German Township High School in September 1919 as Sophomores. Nothing very wonderful happened to us during our Sophomore year. We found that we had some good athletics in our class. Two of our class members were good enough to be placed on the Varsity Basket Ball Team. During this year we gave the Freshmen a reception, the reception passed off peacefully, only a few Freshmen being killed and a few Sophomore injured. After a vacation much more needed than our first ore having endured for a year the tortures of agriculture, we entered, German T'ownsnip High School in September 1920 as Juniors. During this year the talent in our class was brought out. We furnished material for the Varsity Basket Ball Team. Our class had the Champion Basket Bal1 Team of the High School. During this year we published the “Laureola” which though put out a little late was a g reat success and I think the class ought to be congratulated for putting out such a good annual. To finance the Laureola we staged the Junior Class Play “Much Ado About Betty” which was a great success. For amateurs who had never given a play before, it was put across in great style. After a vacation which is our only excuse for not being in the mad house today, we entered High School again as dignified Seniors. This was our high tide year. We were it and nobody else (as the saying goes) THE LAUREOLA. 29 amounted to a row of beans. First we starred in Foot Ball then in Basket Ball. If it had not been for the Seniors, I think it can be truthfully said, the Basket Ball Team would not have been such a great team because the Varsity was made up of Seniors except for one Junior. During the early part of the year the Seniro Class gave the IMay “The Private Secretary, for the benefit of the Athletic Association. This play was a humdinger We performed like professionals and received congratulations from every side. In the literary society meetings the greater nart of the work was dol e by Seniors. The Senior Year is the busiest year in High School. What t'o we have to do? What we don’t have to do would be eas:er to answer. Between work cn oration, thesis, book reports, lessons and what not’s and everything we ha e to stay up all night and part of the next morning and ch, boy! don’t forget those Chemistry experiments exactly 100, good by the rest of next morning. Juniors, we are leaving you, but here’s to you. May you e ;er perpetuate our glory. Here’s to your happiness, Thank God, there are 24 hours in a day if there was only 23 we would never belong to the Alumni. May you ever nerpeuate the French Translating Company of Royd and Smith, Inc. Cod bless you now and always, mey you always have 25 hours in your days. —PAUL B. BOYI).

We spent the first month becoming acquainted with our teachers and learning the ways of High School On February 27, 1920 the Sophomores gave a reception, in the gymnasium, which was well attended by about seventy Freshmen as honor guests. In the Autumn of 1920 about fifty of our former classmates returned to begin their Sophomore year. What we considered the first important event was the reception given by us to the Freshmen on November 16, 1920. Another interesting event was the trip to Pittsburgh to see the Carnegie Museum. Of the thirty two pupils who came back for their Junior year about hal took the Commercial Course. When we think of Football we think of the first touchdown made by “Rats” Tate, thereby winning the sweater offered by the Athletic Association. We were well represented in the Declamation Contest by Florence Roycroft and Charles Antram. Other members of the class demonstrated their interest in literary work by taking part in literary society and other programs. Our class play “Deacon Dubbs” was a pronounced success, and from the lecepits we have been able to publish our Laureola. As classes who have gone before, we look forward to the time when we will be dignified Seniors. CAROLYN FIAT THE LAUREOLA. 47 CLASS SONG OF 23. There’s a TOWN in the Township not far away, Where there’ll be something doing very soon, so they say; And old German Townshinp High’s going to figure in the fray; For it’s nothing more or less, than a “Graduation Day.” Oh, the “Blue” nad the “Gold” are the colors, we are to told, The colors of the Class they are trying to uphold; Everybody’s waiting now the finish for to see, But they’ll all have to wait until it’s 1923. There’s a SCHOOL in the Township very hard to beat, P'or a good education, the equipment is complete; If you enter as a Student you can stand upon your feet. And travel on a Highway that can never mean defeat. Oh, the Colors, they are “Blue,” and the Colors they are “Gold” They stand for all that’s true, and they stand for all that’s bold; Every time you look at them, this what you see, “Oh, I’m going to be a Graduate in 1923. There’s a CLASS in a school in this township, too. And it’s coming to the front as its studies they pursue; They won’t talk about themselves, so they leave it up to you, And rely upon the faculty to tell them what to do. Oh, the colors “Blue and Gold,” they never shall grow old, And the virtue they possess will determine their success; Everybody’s HOPING now a victory for to see, But HOPING will give place to FACT in 1923.

On the seventh of September, 1921, the High School term began. The greater part of the class of the previous year returned but there were quite a few who did net. Our first year ot High School was enjoyed by all, but before all these good times we studied and it was but a small number that fell below the passing mark. However when we returned the 2nd year we did not act as green as we did the first year. I took special notice to the fact that we did not come in the High School and stand in the halls with our hat under one arm and our lunch under the other. We came in and renewed friendships with old acquaintances of the first year. Presently the gong rang and we were assigned to the rooms to which we were to report during the year that was on its way. We soon discovered that our class was made up of Musicians, Orators, Athletes, debators and in fact almost anything you could think of. We were divided into two sections, the French section and the Caesar section. The day which were set for the Mid-year examination soon arrived and we went at the exams with vim. I am sure that we still go at the tinals in the same way and make good in them as we did in the Mid years. It has been said that if anything is to be done go to the class of “24” and it will be done right. And so, my dear reader, I have tried to show you what lays behind the class of “24” and I now bid you good-bye. JAMES GAULT. 52 THE LAUREOLA. SOPHOMORE POEM. When the school year ended 192’., My heart was filled with pain, When I learned that the Seniors would no more Return as a class again. And as I pondered and thought of this, I began to weep and moan, For I could see that in two years more My class would be leD alone. And then suppose by some ill luck, The class would go elsewhere, And when I returned to school in the fall I should be the only one there. Now the Faculty are .just as good, And kind as they can be, But yet some how I did not want Them all to get after me. But the summer passes as summers will, And when I returned to my place, I espied a crowd that to mee was new, And each wore a smiling face. Then I turned to a friend and said, “Who are these?” And she answered, “Sakes alive! Why don’t you know thats the Freshman class, And they’ll finish in 25.” And this my worry came to an end, As worries usually do, And now we have finished another year And in just two more we’ll be through. So the classes come and the classes go, Forth to return no more, But I know there will nere be a better one Than my class of “24.” WINIFRED DePRIEST.

FRESHMAN HISTORY. “Education prepares us to live aright the life we are meant to live.” Near the first of September 7th, some would-be Freshman stepped upon the first stone that leads up that straight and narrow trail. Some came with that free and easy I know it all air, and others witha “let me away” feeling. Both feelings soon fell as the burr from the chestnut falls when the frost bites. We began to realize as never before how little we really did know, and wonder in our hearts if we would be able to cope with the problems several years ahead of us. We were in school but a few days before we became a fixed part of the school. A kind word here and a gi ld smile there were lots of encouragement. The Sophomores welcomed us by givinga reception. We spent a delightful evening. On the anniversary of Longfellow’s birthday the Freshman gave a program. On that day some hidden talent was found and appreciated. The Freshman took an active part in the literary society programs. We Freshmen have acouired during this year but are glad we did not live in Shakespeare’s time if Lear was ever king or if Hamlet ever lived even if we sometimes “Much Ado About Nothing” today. We almost owe an apology to our teachers whose patience we have sometimes tried beyond endurance. We did not always realize that it was for our own good that the teachers spent nights of planning. But, teachers, surely you will forget in the coming year that we have been ungrateful. The Freshmen Class now bids farewell to the Seniors with best wishes for success and prosperity; and to the teachers and other classes hoping we may all meet again after a happy vacation. —MARY LOUISE WELLER. THE LAUREOLA. 57 FRESHMAN CLASS POEM. Oh! we are only “Freshmen,” But, someday you shall hear; Of a class that gained distinction, After many a tedious year. When we first entered high school, We were just a little blue; However we knew the Seniors, Were once “just Freshies” too. We buckled down to Latin, With resolve to do and win; The saying e’er before us, “To learn is to begin.” We were always thinking, thinking, Of that awful X and Y; But in the end we Conquered, By obeying the one word “Try.” So we’ll study hard and listen, And always fight and strive; To lead in golden letters, The class of twenty-five. —ELSIE MERCK. 58 THE LAUREOLA. 60 THE LAUREOLA.

On this day there were nearly three hundred pupils who were waiting to be enrolled. Among these there were a group of boys and girls who looked right business like, and these were the commercials. The first day passing along just fine for wc were only enrolled on this day, but when the second day came along we didn’t quite know what to do, but when we saw Prof. Riffle, and Miss Leonard coming into the room we knew that before the end of the term we would be expert bookkeepers and typhists. On the third day we began our studies. We were all given a set of bookkeeping to work out. The first day of the next week we find that Edgar Honsaker is trying to get ahead of others in bookkeeping. Sophie Hvizdos got angry at this and started to work faster and soon she was in the lead. A few months afterwards the Juniors had already completed their first set of bookkeeping. A few weeks afterwards the commercials elected their officers for the ensuing year. Paul Woodfill being the president. The Senior class was very studious for many pretty girls were in this class. There was a Senior contest at the beginning of the term and Glenn Rockwell forgot how to use his fingers. We had finished our Commercial Law study so a few law cases were carried out always favoring the Plaintiff. The Attorney on the Defendant was Frank Wheeler. The Attorney on the Affirmative was Cecil Gribble. A sad event occured to one of the Commercial boys. It so happened that his house caught fire one night and the house was burned to the ground. This tragedy happened to the Honorable Mike Roll. It was getting late in the year and so the Commercials decided to have a play a few weeks before the school season came to a close. The title of this play was “A Couple of Million.” Mr. Lengal, Mr. Imperato and Miss Stets took a star part in this play. They made a great success at it. The play was given two nights and the house was full both nights. On the 25th of May, we took our commercial examination and successfully passed it. On the 29th of May, was the last day of school and we left the German Township High School in its splendors to return again on the 5th of September, 1922. The Seniors to return no more. —FRANK WHEELER. 62 THE LAUREOLA. SUCCESS To be successful in the business world of today one must possess a high degree of proficiency in whatever line of work he undertakes. He must be an idefatigable w’orker with an intense and absorbing interest in the work he has made his own. To be successful in the commercial world one must have, too, ingenuity—the art of inventive power, cleverness, originality, but added to that, and and perhaps the most important, there must be plain every-day plodding and stick-to-it-ivness. An amanuensis worth while must have a thorough knowledge of orthography, english, arithmetic, in fact, all the different subjects which are now taught so assiduously from the first day of entering school up and through the entire grammar grade; in addition to that, one of the most desirable attributes of an amanuensis is tact, a disposition that nothing can ruffle, and a versatility acquired only by contact with the best in men, women and books. No knowledge, along whatever line, is to be slighted; something can be learned from the humblest of God’s creatures. If a student has studied industriously, after mastering the system of touch typewriting taught in our schools today and the seemingly intricate outlines of shorthand—whether Gregg, Pitman or any of the various good systems now taught—that student may well feel a justifiable pride in his accomplishment, as he now is ready to enter the realms of the actual business world and mount the ladder to—heretofore—undreamed of hights. Today the field for commercial workers is open to women as well as men; the advantages are equal, they compete on equal grounds—the one thing absolutely necessary is a fixed determination to master the problems confronting us, do that and success is assured, though the way “over the top” may be difficult. In 1867 w'hen the typewriter was introduced to the public the typewriter company advertised for girl operators, stating that preference would be given to those w-ho could play the piano, because it was considered quite difficult for any one else to operate the keys. Today we can afford to smile at such a statement; some of our most expert operators know nothing w'hatever about piano playing; we know that it is persevering, unitring effort which gains us dexterity in manipulating the keyboard of a typewriter. We have all doubtless read the little verse: “Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep and you weep alone; For this brave old earth must borrow its mirth: But has troubles enough of its own.” And I wish to say in conclusion, as a sort of paraphrase on the above, but not in an attempt to compete with Ella Wheeler Wilcox— Work and the world works with you, Stop—and you stay w'here you are; For this work-a-day-world has no use for a shirk; And, at the end, there’ll not be, for you, any star. —ANNA F. LEONARD. THE LAUREOLA. 63 MANUAL TRAINING AND MECHANICAL DRAWING DEPARTMENTS Education in the Public Schools until recently had two important fundamental purposes, first, to train young people for citizenship, and second, to fit them to become factors in social progress. Particularly in the last few years, efforts have and are being made to reach and benefit every phase of human life with educational agencies, and although these phases of life are so many and varied, it is impossible to apply them all in Public School instruction. However, the most important of these prases has been included in the education system, and has spread rapidly and with much success in the form of Industrial Education. In the last few years, the progress made in the products of Industry has been very rapid, passing from simplicity and crudeness, to complexity, accuracy and finish. The ignorant and unskilled man was never so much as a disadvantage. It is therefore, a wise charity that seeks to train youth to meet well the demands of productive activity. As a realization of this change in the industrial world; Industrial Schools have sprung up in great numbers throughout the States, and in other countries as well. All over Europe and America there are apprentice schools for the different trades, to take the place of the old system of apprenticeship. These schools are in the form of industrial night schools, trade schools and industrial cooperative high schools; and have courses of study combined with the work in the trades. These schools are confined particularly to the larger cities, where there is a great demand for tradesmen. Of course all boys do not desire to learn a trade, but prefer to follow some other profession. But regardless of the profession a man may follow, a knowledge of the trades (especially wood-working and Mechanical Drawing) is of great value and use to him in practically every day life, and for that reason Pre-vocational or Manual Training Schools have come into existence, as a very important branch of the higher grades and high school corriculum. These schools differ from the Industrial or Vocational schools, in that they give only the fundamental principles of one or several of the different trades, while the other developes the student into a skilled mechanic in one trade, including the branches which go to make up that particular trade. Therefore when the students graduate, do not be mistaken in the belief that they are mechanics and have learned a trade, as this school has only a Manual Training department. The time spent at this work is far too short to attempt such an end. The pupil or student does receive some knowledge of the wood-working trades as well as Mechanical Drawing, which developes his mind as his regular academic work does, but goes still further in that it developes the hands to work with the mind. The wood-working shop is well equipped with both machinery and hand tools, and the boys are taught the kinds of tools, their use and how to use them. Generally he is given and taught to make small pieces of furniture or cabinet work, to bring out the principles of wood-working and to develop some skill in the use of the tools to the point of accuracy and neatness. The experience and trade knowledge which the boys gain in this way will not only benefit them in their business life as has been pointed out, but in their home life as well. It enables the future householder and producer, to do any of the simple mechanical problems that continually arise, in a neat and intelligent way. The drawing room is well equipped with everything necessary to make and produce mechanical drawings and blue prints. The boy is taught the names and proper use of the instruments, the making of mechanical drawings (especially machine drawings) tracing, blue prints and form a mental picture of the object the drawing or print is made to show. 64 THE LAUREOLA. This work developes accuracy, neatness and character, also creates a pride in the accomplishment of those points, and teaches that anything worth doing at all is worth doing well. Therefore this department should and does accomplish a great many things of great value to the boys, and should be appreciated and upheld by the tax-payers to accomplish greater ends, and not looked upon as an expensive department to maintain where the boys go to “play.” —LUTHER H. METZGAR. FOR THE HOMEMAKER “We may live without poetry, music and art; We may live without conscience, and live without heart; We may live without friends, we may live without books, But civilized man can not live without cooks?” Nor can he live long without an organized kitchen. The health and happiness of a civilized people are very largely in the hands of the persons who have to do with the preparation of their food, with the eating habits they form, and with their likes and dislikes for certain foods. We should learn early in life, that we eat to properly nourish the body and not to please the palate. We should be taught why we ought to create an appetite for all the foods. We should be taught how to develope a taste for the foods we do not like when first eaten, and frequently be given the opportunity to taste these foods so as to overcome the prejudice against them. In physiology the boys and girls learn that their body is composed of seventeen elements. In dietetics we leam why and how to keep these seventeen elements in proper balance, and, if properly kept balanced, we are bound to be well—a normal human being with practically no physical defects. And this normalcy can be maintained only by the food we eat, and to the extent that we obey the laws of health. We should know the composition of the various foods we eat (there are only five classes, but a number of foods under each class) and the part each class of food plays in building up the body and in giving us heat and energy which enables us to do our work. It is well worth our while to avail ourselves of the knowledge of dietetics and of the principles of cookery so that in the preparation of our food these five elements will be properly proportioned in our daily rations, and the correct method used in the course of preparations so as to give a palatable and wholessome finished product. The balanced meal, properly prepared, is the keynote of health. Whether the seventeen elements of our body are balanced depends upon whether our food from day to day is balanced. The trained cook can quickly extimate the total food requirements of the group for which she is cooking, as to their ages and their occupations. She will then know at once what percentage of each class of food should be included in the daily total. If we have been trained to have no food prejudices we will balance our food in the partaking of a balanced meal. The New York Association for Improving Health Conditions has THE LAUREOLA. 65 examined and tabulated the physical defects of the school children of different districts for sometime, after this it sends the nutrition workers on its staff to visit the homes of these children to learn something about their eating habits. The longer it is engaged in health work, the more it finds nutrition, or I may say, defective nutrition playing an important part in physical defects as well as in disease, and it is constantly putting more emphasis upon good nutrition as a preventative of physical defects as well as of disease. The girls of the Senior class who studied Dietetics understand what we mean by selecting food for persons at different ages and of different occupation, and the reasons for the difference in quantity and selection of food. In the study of the Care and Feeding of the Child from birth to the age of twelve years, they prepared the daily quantity of food for children of different ages so as to visualize the quantity of food suited to the child at different ages. They also know the conditions under which a mother should live to be instrumental in helping her children to be from ninety-five to one-hundred percent perfect. They have learned something about the proper care and feeding of the family in health and in sickness from infancy on three old ages. In the study of cookery, until the present semester, the girls became familiar with the classes of food and the list included under each class. They then studied the principles of preparation of each class of food in the order designated in the text, performed experiments to prove the wisdom of the principle for that certain class of food, and prepared a number of recipes to become familiar with, and to remember the principles. It is not possible to prepare a cocking lesson in forty-five minutes; it requires considerable time to get out supplies and utensils, combine the ingredients, bake or cook the food, wash the dishes, and put the laboratory in order. The section of sophomore girls who took cookery the first semester this year were considerably handicapped in as much as they reported to the cooking laboratory at 11:15, thus giving no opportunity for a longer period if needed. For this reason their work in cookery was very largely text book study with very little practicum, which is a very poor method of teaching cookery. The section of sophomores reporting for cookery the second semester come to the cooking laboratory at 10:30, and provision is made that they can be retained for a double period as often as needed for cooking lessons. This semester (the second) both classes in cookery are using the meal as the unit. The section of freshmen girls began work with the breakfast as their first unit. As fruit is usually served as the first course of a breakfast, they studied fruits (fresh and drieid) and the principles of preparing them and had cooking lessons in preparing fruit. In this the dinner unit. However, dishes belonging strictly to the dinner unit will be studied in detail. After these lessons the class will be required to plan and prepare three elaborate dinners to be served to guests. The class will be divided into groups and each group required to prepare several simple dinners and serve it in the lunch room as the noon luncheon. After this they will study invalid cookery. While the lunch room entails heavy work upon the teacher of Domestic Science, it affords an excellent opportunity for real practice work for the girls in the cookery classes. They have an opportunity to deal with family group quantities. They also have an opportunity to assume responsibility and to gain skill by the practice. “Home economics in all its phases deals with life and living: origin, nurture, preservalion, and enjoyment.” The home is the bulwark of the 66 THE LAUREOLA. should be included in a balanced breakfast, studying the principles for preparation and prepare the food. After they have completed the breakfast unit they will take up the luncheon as a unit. Beverages will have been studied and prepared in the breakfast unit; in the preparation of the luncheon beverages will be a review lesson, and so on, any dish of the breakfast that can be served for lunch will simply be review lesson. In the study of the luncheon unit we will study in detail only the dishes that were not studied in the breakfast unit, but have their proper place in the balanced luncheon. After they complete the luncheon unit they will plan and prepare the luncheon to be served at school for several weeks. They will hardly be able to accomplish any more than this in a semester. The Sophomore section is using the dinner as a unit. A dinner unit includes many dishes, the principals of which will have been studied in the breakfast and luncheon units. This place a number of review lessons in nation. The greatest business of a nation is to clothe, feed, shelter, and train its youth. The preservation of a nation depends upon how well this is done. It is a recognized fact that a teacher must be trained how to deal with the child mind before entering the teaching profession. May the time soon come when the young man and young woman who wish to establish a home for themselves, be required to have received training for this highest duty—that of a homemaker. The pre-school age often fixes the destiny of a child. This condition rests wholly upon the parents. To be able to partake of food as wisely as the physician prescribes medicines makes us master of our destiny. —MINNIE HOOVER. PRIME FACTORS IN PUBLIC SPEAKING Many of our students have been born good looking, some healthy and a few rich, but none have been born orators. The plea that if a person has something to say, he will say it is rapidly losing significance, as may be proved by the fact that so many are heard to say, “I know what I want to say, but I can’t express it.” Why is it that pupils are constantly urged by the teachers to take a good position and to speak more plainly ? Why is it that individuals assume an awkward position when taking charge of a gathering and are not understood when they speak? Why is it that not a few' teachers and speakers are misunderstood while teaching, lecturing, or dictating? To all of these inquiries there can be no answer more fitting than, lack of proper training. If the questions should be asked as to the cause, the entire school system would be found guilty. First of all, many of our teachers have not had adequate training, and could not be expected to give others what they themselves do not possess. Again, there are instructures who would rather allow pupils to slip through carelessly than to insist on their doing the right thing in the right way. Furthermore, the chief aim seems to be to wing over the greatest amount possible in the time alloted regardless of accuracy, abiliity, understanding, or effectiveness. In our teaching pro- THE LAUREOLA. 67 cesses it should be remembered that “time well spent is not time lost,” and that a “little done well is better than much attempted.” If we expect to have our young folks become good public speakers, we must make them such. Learning to speak in public is much like learning to swim. You may become a master of the science of swimming, but before you can swim you must get into the water. Likewise, you may be thoroughly familiar with the science of public speaking, but before you can make a creditable speech you must speak in public. Just as practice is required to attain perfection in swimming, so is it required for public speaking. The steps in training should not be made too difficult for the individual must be brought to understand its importance and must become interested. After the proper spirit and attitude have been manifested toward the work a few practical points of attack are necessary. There is no position before an audience that can be assumed with precision as much depends upon the size of the person. In general, the position should be such that the weight of the body will rest slightly on one foot with the other a little in front. An easy natural, graceful poise with the face squarely toward the audience is always best. “The eyes reveal the soul, the mouth the flesh, the chin stands for purpose, the nose means will.” No audience will respond to a passive expression ; but many have been charmed by the speaker who looked the audience squarely in the face and allowed his eyes and face to express his emotions. Many people speak either too high or too low. Both are bad and must be corrected if public speaking becomes effective. The compass of the voice is the range between the highest and lowest limits. The range of the average voice is a little more than an octave and somewhere about the middle of this range is found the average key. Ease, variety, and strength depend on using the average pitch of the voice. There are then two tones above and tones below that may be sounded to give variety which is necessary to rest both speaker and listener. A speaker must please in order to influence and it is impossible to please with a montonous delivery. Distinctness is far more important than loudness in making oneself heard. A public speaker must exaggerate the articulation of his words in order to have the exact sounds reach his hearers. He, who has mastered the art of enunciation will find little trouble in applying the other elements of effective speaking. Everlasting keeping at it is the keynote to success. Drill in memorized selections will lead to individual expression in extemporaneous speaking and debating. Practice in technique will naturally repeat itself. No good can result from careless practice in speaking. The individual should be taught the important steps, and should be required to practice what he knows to be right. The human voice is one of the greatest instruments for public service ever created; by it thousands have been swayed either for good or evil. At no time has there been a greater need for public speakers who are able to attract and hold the masestto the right than the present. If we as a democratic free people expect to hold our place among the nations of the world, we must so train our young men and women that they may become leaders whose power may be made known through effective public speaking. —LILIAN RUSH. 68 THE LAUREOLA. % THE LAUREOLA. 69 MANDOLIN ORCHESTRA OFFICERS President_________________________________________________ Oscar Smith Secretary_______________________________________________________Phoebe We3t Treasurer_____________________________________________Estella Graham Leader__________________________________________________________Edward West Instructor______________________________________________Harry Wirsing MEMBERS Faculty Students Honary Members Prof. Sheetz Russell Sangston William Rankin Prof. Riffle Carolyn Fiat Harold Parks Mrs. Smith Estella Graham Alberta Johnson Miss Rush Emma Phillippi Frances DePriest Alexander Phillippi Grace Kenner Lloyd Deffenbaugh Betty Stevens Helen Dobbie Alice Lewellen Amelia Shank Jennie Rupert Sarah Miller Oscar Smith Phoebe West Edward West Edith Stuyvesant 70 THE LAUREOLA. The love for music in German Township High School has been steadily, increasing since the organization of the “Mandolin Orchestra,” November, 1920, marked the beginning of the orchestra in the high school. Early in that year several of the pupils expressed their desire to have an orchestra of this kind, and through the aid of a few of the high school teachers were able to get Prof. Harry Wirsing to come out to the High School once a week to instruct the players. In the beginning there were very few members of the orchestra that could read music, but as they studied and practiced real hard, they were able to play in a few months’ time, and by the close of the school year the orchestra had learned a number of pieces that they really could play and of which they were very proud. During the summer vacation Prof. Wirsing sent one of his instructors out to Masontown three days a week, and it was by taking lessons from Mr. Harvey Parks, that some of the members have acquired an extra amount of musical playing ability. However, at the beginning of the school term the orchestra was organized successfully. Officers for the ensuing year were elected. Prof. Wirsing comes out on Thursday afternoon of each week. The afternoons have been divided into four musical periods for the orchestra, in order that Prof. Wirsing may give special instruction to the different classes. The different periods or classes are: Mandolins, Tenor Banjos, Guitar and the fourth period, all instruments are assembled. The orchestra has developed a considerable ripertoire and has been employed to furnish music for the school plays and entertainments. Also it is a special feature of the literary programs. The work of the orchestra has proven very successful and has been extra to the course of studies, for the pupils have all kept up well in their classes, as they miss the afternoon classes only once or twice out of each month. The Mandolin Orchestra has been and is a benefit to the High School, both to those who listen and to those who play. It also affords an extra means of social recreation, for the players make it a rule to get out to one of the members’ homes about once a week, and one of the greatest rewards to the players of music is the development of the mind, or as Charles W. Elliot has expressed the thought—“Music rightfully taught is the best mind trainer of the list of studies.” It is hoped that the doings of the Mandolin Orchestra will inspire others with the desire to learn music and perhaps increase the size and results of the “German Township High School Orchestra.” —OSCAR C.

A fine sum of money was realized and assures the success of the school annual for which the play was held. Deacon Dubbs, a kind hearted old villager from Sorghum Center, was splendidly played by Charles Antram, who not only looked the part, but pleased every one with his characterization of the old Deacon. Florence Roycroft was the soubrette and as a freckle-faced mixture of impishness and good humor was hard to beat. She captivated the audience by being a real kid. Marie Sapper, with her pleasing personality, made a charming bride, and it is no wonder that Dan Hoover was captivated. Marie could captivate anybody. Was Mary Pearle Kramer a good looking heiress? We’ll say she was. She looked like a million dollars and had a smile that knocked them all cold. Anna Rex had the part of the old maid and as a catcher of the big fish she had Isaac Walton backed off the boards. Helen Dobbie was taken sick and her part of the maid was well played by Charles Hague, even if he was unfamiliar with skirts and war paint. As a last minute understudy he was a success and few knew him made up as a girl. Betty Sangston and Melinda Fiat were the two charming school children that helped make the play interesting. Dan Hoover was the hero and carried his part off with the smoothness of an old timer. Joseph Betchy had the most diflcult part of the play and as a villian he was there with the goods. DeBolt ought to start out as an auctioneer. With a fair sized goatee and his rapid fire English, he could put Colonel Fee in the shade. As the hired man, Arthur Smith was a man of few words, but many accomplishments. He got his Swedish maid even if he did get his eye full of pie. A lively chorus featured in the play. Those taking part in the chorus were: Charles Hague, Charles Kuhns, Milfred Brown, Thomas Gillin, Robert Ttate, Luke Gillin, Warren Moser, Ruth Miller, Mildred Coldren, Hildred Cunningham, Alice Minor, Beulah Sterling and Elizabeth Rider. This play was coached by Prof. I. N. Riffle. 74 THE LAUREOLA. PxtUJ UEY l7Ari!

The first semester passed with very little society activity excepting the Christmas program which as usual was rendered by both societies in joint session. Nothing especially spectacular was attempted, but, in general the Merry Christmas spirit prevailed throughout and the customary large audience was delighted with the new songs, recitations and the annual appearance of Santa Claus with his pack of presents, his jovial spirit and the delightful tree. When the mid-year examinations were over and an evidence was manifested that the pupils had a firm hold on the text book work and the class room activities some one cranked up the old Ford and ever since it has been running in “high,” with hardly a stop for oil or gas. The first was a joint program rendered to the satisfaction of every one. This was followed by a Franklin program in which many under classmen took part. From the view point of entertainment it may have failed to meet expectations, but for literary training its benefits must not be under valued. The Lanierians thought they could beat it, and they did. Rivalry now began in earnest. A splendid Lanierian program followed. Their musical numbers were exceptional, and the Periodical deserves special comment. The Franklins said, “We can beat that,” and although they could not reach the high standard of their rival’s melodies they gave us in their next program one of the finest debates of the year and probably one of the keenest in the history of the school. The Arbor day and Bird day proprogram was very impressive, due to the combined effort of both societies. The efficient officers during the year for the Lanierian Society were James Zimmerman, President; and Catherine McGinty, Secretary. For the Franklins were Oscar Smith President; and Sara Roycroft, Secretary. The work of both societies is to be highly commended. Now for the brawn. Where is it? The Franklins had been holding the supremacy in basket ball for years. This year the Inter-Society game was won by the Lanierians. The Franklins realizing that the Lanierians deserved a “Set up” for their ability in wrestling from them a twelve year Championship, gave it in a most splendidly appointed manner. On the evening of April 21, the Franklin Society entertained their sister Society the Lanierians, the Superintendent, Principal, Faculty, Board of Education and their families in the High School Gymnasium. The affair was complete and enjoyable to the utmost extent. Why can’t we make this an annual event? Have the Inter-Societv game before the close of the Basket ball season, schedule it in the evening and charge admission. Then let the losing Society entertain the winners in the splendid way they have done it this year. The fifteenth anniversary of the founding of these societies will soon be here. Let us decide to have a big celebration. May the Crimson and the Azure combined with the White mean more and more to us from year to year, and may be daily realize that still “Faith is Duty” and only “Virtute post funera vivit.” 78 THE LAUREOLA. DECLAMATION CONTEST The Director’s Association of Fayette County decided to hold a Public Speaking Contest in Uniontown, which should represent the various high schools of the county. A preliminary contest was held in the German Township High School Auditorium on Wednesday Evening, January 18, 1922, to determine the strongest representative from our school. Miss Elizabeth Stevens presenting a reading entitled, “A Matrimonial Storm,” won the first prize of $10 in gold; Miss Florence Roycroft, giving a reading entitled, “The Gypsy Flower Girl,” was awarded second prize of $5.00 in gold; and Miss Dorothy Brown presenting an oration, “Friendship Among Nations,” received honorable mention. The program was exceptionly well rendered and greatly enjoyed by the audience. The final contest was held in Uniontown, April 3, 1922, the South Brownsville High School, winning First prize, the George L. Moore Loving Cup.

S. have been a great success this year. This due to the splendid equipment and conveniences which we have and to the spirit which the boys put into the games. Football was a new sport this year and although we did not make much of a success at it, we hope to have a better team next year. Basket ball was a great success, we, winning most of the games. The Girls had a fine Basket ball Team this year which was coached by Mrs. Smith, although they did not win all the games scheduled, but won the most of them. At the time of publication of this Laureola, Tennis and Baseball are beginning to liven up. A Baseball Team has been organized with James Zimmerman, as Manager, and Coffman Smith, as Captain. They have several games scheduled, but we do not know the results. Track has also been brought to the front this year. An inter-class meet was held April 19, and from the winners in this event will be picked the team to represent German Township High School in the Intel- County meet held in Uniontown, April 29, but as this book goes to press before this date we could not obtain the results in this meet. In closing, I feel that G. T. H. S. has had a bright and successful year in Athletics and that we can be safe in saying that it has a bright future.

Most of the boys never saw a football game before the season, but they turned out to be good players for the practice and knowledge they had. The first game was played away, which was the first football experience they ever had. The third game proved to be better, played on our Gridiron which was a tie. In the first game we played we were defeated, it was played at Mt. Pleasant High School. All of our players were tried out in the same game giving them more knowledge than could be gotten by practice at horn? and aroused enough interest in football to have a good team organized aud to cause them to practice evenings with a good spirit that made them physically fit for football. The first touchdown made on our side was made by Robert Tate in the game with North Union Township High School in the first game played on our gridiron it was impossible of our players to bu'ld a winning team in one season. Our scvool closed the season by winning two games and making a game tie. THE SEASON’S GAMES October October October October Nov’ber Nov’ber Nov’ber Nov’ber Nov’ber 7—G. T. H. S_____0—Mt. Pleasant H.

German Townshin High School Basket Ball season opened with a number of men who reported for training. After several night’s practice a good team was selected to represent our school. Our first game was with North Union on December 9, the work of our team was very good and the passing was done well, it was impossible for North Union to win. We won by a score of 38-14. The game was played on our home floor. The second game, we played was with Connellsville on December 15, this game was played cn our home floor. We had been defeated several times by this team but only by a few points but this time we were victorious by a score of 26-13. This was the fastest game ever played on German Township floor and it was a good game. We played two games with Dunbar Twp. which we lost both games but only by a few points. We played several games with South Brownsville. They defeated our football team but whan it came to basket ball we were there with the goods. Our last game of the season was played with Redstone Twp. which was a victory for our team by a score of 44-22. We had several inter-class games this year which were very snappy games.

The weather did not seem very favorable in the morning but it turned out to be a perfect day. The field was not in as good as condition as it should have been because of the recent rains. The Meet started after chapel exercises and lasted till about 5:30. The Sophomores won the meet by a total of 46 points. The Seniors coming second with 36, and the Juniors, third by 35 points. The Freshman 3 points which were made by Korpency in the High Jump. Tate scored the most points of any individual, totaling 20 points, Fretts and Deffenbaugh tied for second place with 15 points apiece, A Smith coming third with 13 points. Tate and A.

These blight sunshiny days have turned our thoughts to tennis. It is a diversion from all other sports, in which girls and boys both take part. Under the faithful work of Joseph Betchy and Wilfred Brown the wire around the court has been put in place and also the court has been put into condition by Russell Sangston, Charles Hague and George McGee. We have formed a Tennis Association in which we hope to give all members a chance to plav. The rules governing this association are that each member shall pay fifty cents $.50) per year, which shall entitle him to all the benefits of the Tennis Association. A new net has been purchased together with several dozen balls. These are the property of the Association and may be used by any member at any time. A ruling of our high school provides that: 1. Only one set can be played by members at one time if there are others waiting to play. 2. Only members of Tennis Association may play on the court during school hours. 3. Players must be equipped with tennis shoes. 4. Last player to leave court must take care of net and balls. The manager of the tennis team is arranging an inter-class tournament, which will take place about the second week of May, from which a arsity tesm will be selected. It is hoped that the classes will take an interest in this tournament. In closing let us urge every member of the student body to become a member of the Tennis Association. The benefits to be derived are many and we feel sure you will enjoy every moment spent upon the court. —GEORGE McGEE. 96 THE LAUREOLA. LJ cMftitit rXMn fc rwe- THE LAUREOLA. 97 ALUMNI. Class of 1909.

GERMAN TOWNSHIP SCHOOLS The German Township Schools have progressed very nicely during the past year, and every teacher has put forth her best effort in behalf of the boys and girls of the district. During the past few years, the schools, everywhere, had been handicapped, due to reasons beyond the control of school officials. Two years ago our schools were closed on account of Spanish Influenza for almost three months. This was a very vital blow to our schools; for which, I am not sure whether we have fully recovered. Then, war came on and thrust upon the schools many immature and inexperienced teachers which made all school systems helpless to a great extent. Then, too, during the past year, the schools of German Township were greatly congested; in many cases, teachers were compelled to hold half day sessions. Yet, in spite of these handicaps the teachers have worked faithfully and the schools have moved along very nicely. During the year, 4,036 children enrolled in the schools of German Township; whom were distributed as follows: First Grade ___________________________________1071 Second Grade____________________________________527 Third Grade_____________________________________516 Fourth Grade____________________________________512 Fifth Grade_____________________________________375 Sixth Grade _____________________________300 Seventh Grade___________________________________217 Eighth Grade____________________________________128 Freshman Class, High School-------------------- 63 Sophomore Class, High School____________________ 65 Junior Class, High School______________________ 20 Senior Class, High School---------------------- 23 104 THE LAUREOLA.

Why is marriage like a well? Because it is easy to get into, but hard to get out of. Your hair will be white if it keeps on. Well, if it keeps on, I don’t care. Money talks, it spoke to me once.

(From Evangeline) Silenty one by one, in the infinite notebooks of the teacher’s, blossomed the nttle zeros, the forget-me-nots of the scholars. Evening Prayer (Night before Finals) Now I lay me down to rest, To cram my head I’ve done my best. Ir I should die before I wake. I’d have no blamed exams to take.

Why, Lor’ bless your ’cart, it was only last week that this very animal held a burglar down by the throat and beat his brains out with his tail!” Mrs. Newcomer—What was that noise when you came in? Prof. Newcomer—I really couldn’t say, dear, whether it was the night falling or the day breaking. “Mary Rose sat on a tack—Mary Rose!” He—“Her complexion is just like strawberries and cream isn’t it?” She—“It is something like strawberries; it comes in a box. Mr. Metzgar—If you hadn’t been so long dressing we shouldn’t have missed this train. Mrs. Metzgar—And if you hadn’t hurried me so, we shouldn’t have so long to wait for the next.

A preacher came along a street. It was very evident that he was a stranger in town, for he walked up to some boys that were playing and said to one of them, “Little boy, can you tell me the way to the post office?” The boy said, “Just keep right on up the street about two blocks.” The preacher said, “Boys, don’t you know that it isn’t right to play marbles in the street this way, come with me and I’ll show you the way to Heaven.” One of the boys said, “Oh, come off, you don’t even know the way to the post office.” SOME SIGNS.

When suddenly he started. She cried, “Oh, what was that?” “Oh, nothing dear,” he answered, “but I thought I smelled a rat.” THE LAUREOLA. 119 “Mamma, papa can’t go to Heaven, can he?’ “Why, my child.” “Because he can’t leave the store.” “My teacher’s name is Brown,” said the first little girl. “My teacher’s name is Davis,” replied the other, “but I don’t know what color it is.” Kid—“Mamma, ain’t papa gonna go to heaven when he dies?” Mother—“Why, of course, dearie.

The quarry boss came around later and said to another Irishman. “Wher eis Mike?” “He’s gone,” replied Pat. “When will he be back ?” asked the boss. “Well, if he comes back as fast as he went,” replied Pat, “he’ll be back yesterday.” Prof. Newcomer—“Muddy water makes you fat.” Dan Hoover—“Gee, Antram, where do you live?” “How did you get that dent in your hat?” “Just came from the —hie— dentist, m’dear.” “Say, those Russians have the funniest names, hav’nt they?

Paul B.—“I kissed Viona last night.” Wilson W.—“Is that right?” Paul B.—“No; but it’s so.” HE I ORGOT THE CLIMATE. The Californian gets up at the alarm of the Connecticut clock; buttons his Chicago suspenders to Detroit overalls; washes his face with Cincinnati soap in a Pennsylvania basin; wipes on a Rhode Island towel; sits up to a Grand Rapids table, eats Kansas City meat and Mineapolis flour with Idaho potatoes, cooked with Indiana lard, on a St. Louis stove, burning Wyoming coal; warms up to a Bellville heater, decorated with German silver ; puts on a new bridle on a Colorado bronco, fed with Iowa corn; plows five acres of land (covered with Ohio mortgages) with a Chattanooga plow. When bedtime comes he reads a chapter from a Bible printed in Boston; says a prayer written in Jerusalem; crawls under a blanket made in New Jersey, only to be kept awake by fleas—the only home product of his own state. Estella—“Jack loves to be alone with you, doesn’t he?” Maud—“Yes; he even insists on putting the lights out.” Miss Kelley—(grasping Wilson Ward by the arm) said, “Young man, the devil certainly has got hold of you.” Wilson—“Guess you’re right, mum.” He—“Well, dearie, I was elected.” She—“Honestly!” He—“What difference does that make?” THE LAUREOLA. 121 Tubby—“Joe! are you yawning because I did or because that girl over there did?” “My wife calls me a model husband, I looked that up in the dictionary and it says that model is a small imitation of the real thing.” Doctor (after examination)—“Madam, you have a constitution of iron.” Patient—“I have often wondered what made me so heavy.” Wife—“All that you are you owe to me.” Husband—“Here’s thirty cents. Now wer’e square. “I understond that your friend Bronson is a vegetarian. Yes; He has such pronounced views on the subject that he married a grass widow.” “Father, Percy says he’s very much worried obut his income.” “Tell him for me, dear, not to let a little thing like that worry him.” MEMORY. I love to think of childhood days, Say twenty years ago, Back in the home at Melvin farm, Among the hills of Lowe, Whe non those breezy winter days Pd sled ride on the snow, O! happy lad—an’ yet Pm sad, ’Tis but a mem’ry now! I love to think of childhood days When I’d get up at eight To hurry and put my shoes on, And to school I’d be late. I’d fight the boys when coming home O! happy lad—an’ yet I’m sad, ’Tis but a mem’ry now! I love to think of childhood days, As March winds howl and blow, How often time I played out doors With girls and boys in snow. To get the neighbors ray of light Was singing some I vow, O! happy lad—an’ yet I’m sad, ’Tis but a mem’ry now! I love to think of childhood days, As o’er the fields I roam, For God, in many, many ways Did bless my dear old home. And now, I think, of dear school days, In mem’ry prayer I bow 0! happy lad—an’ yet I’m sad, ’Tis but a mem’ry now: • By Anna Cottage. 122 THE LAUREOLA. THE MASONTOWN NATIONAL BANK MASONTOWN, PA.
