THE LAUREOLA. 3 (Smtittg In completing this, the fourteenth volume of the Laureola, we have tried to arrange it so as to familarize you with the life of G. T. H. S. as natural and interesting as possible. We are not perfect and we therefore ask you to share our mistakes and shortcomings with us. We submit our most humble efforts to all those dear to us. The Members of the Faculty, The Board of Directors, Students, Alumni, Parents, and Friends. 4 THE LAUREOLA. Ju iHpnuirtam To the memory of Luke Francis Gillin this page is dedicated with the affection of those who deeply felt the passing of a pure upright young life. Though he, as a member of our Senior Class, would soon have left G. T. H. S. as a student, we know that the interests of the school would ever have been his interests. For his classmates the memory of his acts will be interwoven like a bright thread through all their recollection of High School days. His unassuming manner and cheerful nature endeared him to faculty and students alike, and lingers like a benediction upon his life.

(Harmony—Loud) Oh! Black and Red we love the 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. (Unioson—Maestoso). Hail to the Alam 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. SHEETZ. 24 THE LAUREOLA.

Tiitrc’s p TOWN in the Township not far away. Where there’ll be something doing very soon, so they say; And old German Township High’s going to figure n the fr; y; For it’s nothing more or less, than a “Graduation Day. The colors of the Class they are trying to uphold; Oh, the “Blue and the “Gold are the colors, v,e are told, Everybody’s waiting now the finish for to see, Eut they’ll all have to wait until it’s 1923. There’s a SCHOOL in the Township very hard to beat, For a gcod 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 lor all that’s bold Every time you look at them, this is 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 lea e 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. —Florence I. Roycroft. THE la; i’ntinr (Ha Little did we realize when we entered the portals of German Township High School September 8, 1919, that outclass had members who would stand among the many honored students of German Township High School. In the Annual Track meets during our four years at High School the Roys of the class of ’23 showed their ability in Athletics. We also have a few of the Basket Ball and Football stars in our class. The class presented a number of plays during its four years at high school which proved to be great successes both from a financial and literary standpoint. We have gone on a few trips during our last three years at school. During our Sophomore year we visited Carnegie Museum. During our Senior year we visited the Reform School at Morganza. The Senior Commercials have edited the schools’ monthly paper, The Microscope very successfully. By co- JREOLA. 37 sh Htfitnrg operation of all the classes of the high school we have been able to enlarge the paper considerably during the past year. Another great event in the History of our class happened this year when Miss Florence Roycroft carried away first honors at the Fayette County Declamation Contest held at the Uniontown High School Auditiorium April 9, 1923. Miss Roycroft was presented with the Owen R. Brownfield Loving Cup. One sad event marked the Senior year—the death of our well beloved classmate and companion, Luke Gillin, Jr. He is sadly missed by every member of our class. He was an industrious student, a delightful companion, and a faithful friend. The class of 1923 is leaving their best wishes for the greatest success and prosperity to the class of 1924. —Ella Caretti, ’23. 38 THE LAUREOLA. £ nttur InaatH Charles Antram—“Pass the Almonds, please?’' Mildred Coldren—“Let’s go skating.” Alice Deffenbaugh—“Where’s Wheeler?” Helen Dobbie—Gone but not forgotten.

The Junior harvest time is sad The loveliest season of them all First we may worry then may be glad These are feelings which come with Fall. The Freshmen year of course is Spring When ideas start to grow Which would r.ot amount to anything If the teachers did not hoe. To the faculty it brings no pain To make us work they never fail Until sometimes we feel like grain That has been threshed out with a flail. And when the Springtime work is done The summer time comes on apace In Sophomore year for everyone The gardeners (faculty) have found a place. Then the Senior year is winter So cool calm and serene With all its knowledge stored away W'ithout a hint of green. How the teachers work to help them grow Looking after their every need But the pupil is surely an object of woe Who acts the least bit like a weed. But for Seniors who will really have Of knowledge quite a store Just wait and look upon the class WTio’s winter comes in ’24. —Winifred DePriest ’24. 42 THE LAUREOLA. JUNIOR ( LASS HISTORY More than a hundred boys and girls showing an en-thusiosm remarkable to be seen in such youth entered the Halls of German Townsehip High School in the fall of 1920 as Freshmen. But we must confess that at first we found our studies rather difficult and uninteresting. Although later on after we had mastered the difficulties we found much enjoyment in the preparation of the lessons. During our Freshmen year nothing of importance happened (for we were exceedingly good in our behavior and also very studious as “Freshies” usually are) except that the Sophomores gave us a delightful reception at which nearly all the Freshmen were present. After a most gratifying vacation we again assembled in High School in September 1921 as Sophomores but there were fewer in our number than had been the former term. Our Sophomore year was a year of much pleasure and excitement. The first event of the season was a reception given by us in honor of the Freshmen. Our Class made quite a few excursions to Green County to add to our already amazing knowledge of Botany. The Sophomores were great on health, it was not satisfied that all it’s members were in good health but it wished everyone else to be in good health, so it’s members therefore dug deep into their pockets and found that coin they were saving until a good movie came to town and contributed it toward buying a health bond. Of course with such spirit behind it, our Cl ss could not help but come out ahead. We were well represented at the track meet in Union-town at which several of our classmen succeeded in winning a prize. And we are also proud to say that in the Declama- tion Contest a student of our class came out the victor, having taken first prize and thus representing our High School at the Contest held in Uniontown. At the close of me Sophomore year we were very glad that nearly all of our Class had been fortunate in passing the exams, therefore being promoted to the Junior Class. Having enjoyed a pleasant vacation we came back to High School in the fall of 1922 as Juniors manifesting the same spirit of loyalty and enthusiasm that had been predominate in our Class the two former years. The boys of the Junior Class were very good in athletics, they played exceedingly well in football and basketball. Again in our Junior year “we went over the top” in buying health bonds. Our class play “Anne What’s Her Name” was most successful and we arc safe in saying that it was one of the best plays ever presented in the High School Auditorium. Another success was the publication of the Laureola which we were aided in doing so by the benefits derived from the Class play. We have displayed loyalty and good spirit throughout our three years in High School and we hope that under Classmen will follow our example in success and profit by our mistakes for alas! we are not without fault nor are we perfect but “day by day in everv way we are getting better and better.” Seniors, we wish you success and hanpiness through the coming years. —Viona Vere Christopher.

SOPHOMORE POEM Between the Freshman and the Juniors, In the prime of his school career, Comes the time in the life of the student, That is known as his Sophomore year. A suddenrush from the class rooms; A quick step march through the hall; Tlirough every door in the building, They come at the class bell’s call. You can hear in the class rooms around you The tromping of many feet; And the chatter, when doors are thrown op r� Of voices determined and sweet. Y'ou can see any time when its dayligh Descending the broad hall stair. Forms tall and forms short, stout or slender. Some with dark,and some with golden hair. They hurry into their places; They scramble after a chair; If you try to pass out, they surround you, They seem to be every where. They almost devour every lesson; Their brains to such altitudes climb. That we think of old Socrates, Plato, And the wisemen of ever time. A whisper, and then a silence; You can tell by their studious eyes, They are studying and working together, To win some alluring prize. Do you think, oh you grave, reverened Juniors, Because you have grown so tall, Such a wonderful class the Sophomore’ Is not more than a match for you all. We have all the wisdom of ages. And we never will leave it behind, But well lock it away forever In the store-house of our mind. —Betty Meechem. CO r- THE LAUREOLA. 65 SOPHOMORE HISTORY On September 5, 1921, the regular spectacular event, whic i is characteristic of the first day of the term, prevailed at German Township High School. Boys and girls from different parts of the township were seen, all in a hustle and bustle, making their way toward McClelland-town. In this aggregation there were the boys and girls of our present class, who had come for the first time to enroll as members of the Freshman class. Timid and embarrassed we stood in small segregated groups in the hall, scarcely speaking above a whisper. With wonder we gazed about the hall, waiting for further developments. To our utmost consternation many of the upper classmen propped themselves against the walls and commenced commenting on the greenness of the Freshman class. Sometimes a Bromboncs would bawl out a meaningless exclamation, of which we were taught the interpi etatoin later on, such as “Oh Freshy, soon you’ll get your fairing at the sink.” At length the bell rang and we assembled in the auditorium to receive instructions concerning the courses and the rules of the school. After assembly was over we went to the different class rooms for the purpose ol' obtaining our books and having our lessons assigned. When this was completed we were dismissed. Thus ended our first da yof high school experience. Succeeding this the second day came, but with it we felt not so much of fear as on the previous day. Conse- quently as the time passed, high school life took on a different aspect. New acquaintances and enjoyments resulted, which wrought a great change in our unfamiliar situation, and added in a large measure to our happiness. Moreover, the Sophomores, on October 21, 1921, gave us a reception which was enjoyed by everyone of the FTeshman class. So, onward to th close of the term our high school life became, more and more delightful. Finally the first term of our high school career ended. Each of us left for our summer vacations with the happy thought of returning to old German Township High in the Fall. After the summer recess, again our class assembled, September 4, 1922, to begin a second term. This time things were not so strange to us. As a merry crowd of Sophomores we awaited the approach of the Freshies in order to have our share of fun at their expense. But on the other hand, it was agreed to show them some hospitality as that which we received from the Sophomores who preceded us. The time is almost here when we shall have completed our second year of high school work. Therefore, our work will be laid aside for another vacation period. At the end of this vacation all of us hope to return to German Township High School and enter the Junior class. —Jane Lardin. 66 THE LAUREOLA. SOPHOMORE ROASTS David Honsaker—How’s La Verna?

Perhaps we were a little doubtful. When we first started in, But with the kind help we have, We feel most sure to win. “Where did we meet,” you ask, Why, at the German Township High, And just show us a finer class, Who will be the one to try? Now if you think we’re boastful, Just examine our work and see, And after you have done this, I think that you’ll agree. What was our motive for gathering. Upon that certain day? Did we gather there for business Or just to laugh and play? It’s only a few more weeks, Until this term expires, And before we close this poem. We wish to express our desires. W'e’re striving for an education, And we mean to have it. too, For if we do not get it, To our purpose, we’ll not be true. We hope that this same faculty, Will meet us at the door. And welcome us back to school again, When G. T. II. S. convenes once more. —H. Jeannette Merryman. 74 THE LAUREOLA. FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY We, as the Freshman of German Township High School, are nearing the close of our first years work, will give you a brief history of our class. When we entered the High School we numbered 112, but as time elapsed the number was reduced to 91. Shortly after the beginning of school we were entertained by the Sophomores, in the gymnasium where we spent a very delightful evening. A class meeting was held where we organized the class, elected officers, adopted colors and composed our motto. We chose “Black and Old Rose” for our class colors and “Finis opus coronet” (May the End Crown your Work”) for our motto. The class so far has revealed a great talent along the line of literary work. In athletics, the Freshman Class of 1922 can’t be beat. “Basket Ball” is our specialty. Our first year is now about to close. After our final examination we shall all leave Old German Township High School for our summer’s vacation, with the hope of returning next year to enter the Sophomore Class. —Elizabeth Huhn.

COMMERCIAL HISTORY A history is a record of past events, a record of things done, and properly used ought to be a measuring stick for the future. In looking over the things accomplished since transferring to the commercial department proper, we find that in addition to completing successfully the regular school work we have found time to do a great many other things that have been worth while. We have continued the publication of the Microscope, our department paper, and feel that it has had its most successful year. We put on the play “A Couple of Million” which was a success in every respect. One of our boys was captain of the football team and a tower of strength to the athletic association. Both girls and boys of our department have contributed to the success of the basketball teams. A tremendous amount of clerical work has been done for the officials of the school, saving them many dollars in their expense of running the school system. Many have gone out to work at good-paying positions and are making a success of life. Social events have not been neglected and our department has contributed its share toward these. The annual Hallowe’en party was a brilliant success. Several little dinners were given during the year when the pupils of this department entertained the teachers and superintendent. Altogether we feel that we believe that as we leave school the same ideas and actions well permeate our life as we take up our part in community activities. 80 THE LAUREOLA. LATIN DEPARTMENT R. R. McCombs. There never was a time in the history of our Educational system when Latin with its drills, its training in mental discipline, word-derivation, and syntax, played as important a part in the High School curriculum as at the present time. Students have been rushed through the grades so fast that in many cases at least Grammatical usages have been either neglected or having been thoroughly explained with appropriate drills, in the hurry to get into High School have been entirely forgotten. The first year in High School a great many of these defects can be corrected, the student is older and with the help of a First year’s work in Latin he is the better enabled to see and more fully understand some of the fundamental principles he has studied in the grades. This especially is true in Rhetoric and the High School English courses aside from being a very great help in understanding terms used in other courses. It is readily seen by consulting the picture above that our Latin courses are not lacking in numbers. Whether this is due to the popularity of the course (Notice the Indirect Question) or to High Grades handed out by the Latin teacher. We are unable to say, however, it is certain that the training has been worth while and will be found useful in mastering other more difficult subjects to be encountered later in their courses. The classical course as provided for in our High School course of study offers fours year’s work in Latin. Three year’s work are compulsory. The course embraces First year Latin, Caesar, Cicero, and Vergil, in the order named, in addition to a certain amount of prose composition required in each year’s work. The regular system in the four courses has been followed this year with the main motives in mind in pursuit of Latin. In the First year. Word-derivation. Greater Vocabularies, Relation to English Grammar, Drills and short Roman stories. The Caesar students have covered the four books of Caesar’s Commentaries with emphasis placed chiefly upon construction and the rules of syntax learned in the first year. The study of Cicero’s Orations, we have read the four orations against Catiline, along with The Manilian Law and The Citizenship of Archias. In the study of the last two named above we are able to get some idea of Roman Legal Practices and of The Roman law which forms a part of our modern law. Vergil’s Aeneid furnishes us with the oniy Latin poetry offered in our courses of study. It is written in dactylic hexameter verse and mythology, rich in stories and tells of the wonderings of Aeneas from the ancient home at Troy until years after he has been able to reach Italy and found the Roman race. In closing, Latin affords a knowledge of the real foundation of our language and at the same time permits a closer study of the beliefs and customs of Ancient civilization. THE LAUREOLA. 81 VALUE OF INDUSTRIAL WORK IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS There was a time when each family was practically self sufficient. All necessary articles for home use and comfort were either secured from the forest or manufactured in the home. As time passed, families began to depend more and more upon each other. They began to specialize in some one thing and a little later, the manufacture of articles was grouped into industrial centers. The child had no longer a chance to observe the different processes that an article goes through while being made into some useful, every-day article. The work of supplying at least a part of this necessary education has been attempted by the schools. In supplying this education it is not the aim of the school system to turn out artists in any one line, nor to make the student an expert in every line. It is the aim of the school to have the pupil do some of thse things for himself. He is not expected to become an expert in handling tools. To become an expert requires years of work. But he is expected to learn the proper methods of using the most common tools and how to sharpen them. Morever, Manual Training is simply a place for the pupil to try hand work for himself. Itis an attempt on the part of the school to train the hand as well as the brain. The projects turned out may be crude and show the marks of unskilled workmanship. Yet. if they have taught the pupil to have confidence in himself and to visulaize, the work has been successful. Besides these things, the pupil is taught to do things that are found necessary in the home. They may take only a few minutes if you know how but if you do not, they go undone. In these departments in the Public Schools pupils are often able to find that they have a talent for some particular vocation. Thus the school may eliminate some misfits which often result in the student nor finding what he is fitted for until he has trained for some other profession. Consequently, these departments eliminate some of the wastes in the schools besides saving the child from a profession for which he has no talent and for which he has no interest. And in addition to this, he has learned the value of trained hands as well as a trained mind. —Samuel W. Shuss. 82 THE LAUREOLA. FRENCH Each day through new discoveries and new inventions the world is becoming more united, and vast distances are being shortened. Events and conditions are drawing us into a closer relationship with our friends and neighbors across the waters. That we should learn to speak their language is becoming a natural result. French is the language of romance. It was the speech of chivalry and all gentlemen used it. It is still used in court circles and every entrant into our own diplomatic corps must first pass a rigid examination in the French language.. He must be able to both speak and write it well. Of all the language taught in our High Schools, French is the most interesting. The grammar is the simple and logical and the pronunciation follows definite rules. The same mental discipline is accomplished through its mastery as through the study of any of the so called dead language. It is quick, musical and attractive. It has a difinite com- mercial and social value. Modern words are filled with French words and phrases which if left untranslated give an unsatisfactory feeling of loss to the reader. The most thoughtful and up-to-date educators are beginning to feel more and more that a modern language should be taught by the natural method of speech and conversation or the direct method, as opposed to the study of grammar entirely, as used by the scholastic method which becomes more or less a mechanical process. In the German Township High School we are trying to effect a combination of the two systems. As much as possible French is being spoken entirely in the class room. We are endeavoring to make the study of Freich a vital, absorbing subject of lasting practical value to our students. —J. Carman Newcomer. THE LAUREOLA 83 TANGIBLE AND INTANGIBLE QUALITIES The lives of people are made up of tangible and intangible qualities. The most important of the two is the intangible ones. Tangible qualities are made up of education, health courage and self-control. Education is the most prominent of the tangible qualities but the one from which we draw the least pay. Intangible qualities are made up of loyalty, foresight and enterprise. A man may be a college graduate, may have studied for years and have a degree, and yet have little or no success in business. He may be healthy, courageous, and of very strong character and yet lack those necessary qualities, such as foresight and enterprise, which assure success. James Buchanan, our fifteenth president of the United States was an educated man, as far as college education reaches. He declared himself to be a Jackson Democrat, but he lacked his great predecessor’s over-mastering loyalty to the Union, and the last months of his administration saw him helpless and suffering from a reduction of national authority. He lacked foresight and enterprise, and when he died in 1868, he had become such an obscure character that people had almost forgotten his very existence. Abraham Lincoln was a self-educated man. His early life was passed among hardships and in a slow development of mental power. At the age of nineteen he was a common hand on a flatboat, but patiently sought higher pursuits and studied as he went about his daily duties. During the years of his climb to political power he was defeated many times by not receiving the nomination for certain high positions, but in 1860, he was nominated and elected to the highest position there is for a man to fill. Through the years of the war and turmoil Lincoln was the man who stood, and always will stand out, as one of the greatest characters in history, that the world has ever known. He possessed those qualities both tangible and intangible which make up for success. Theodore Roosevelt was a Harvard man, and after his graduation, was a success in raising cattle on a ranch in North Dakota. He afterwards returned to the East and rose from one position of trust to another higher up, and in each showing courage, foresight, efficiency and enterprise. John D. Rockefeller, Henry Ford, F. W. Woolworth, and the late Anne Dow of the Dow chain of drug stores, are characters of note who have had great enterprise and foresight. Alphonoso Taft was the only American statesman who held two cabinet positions and two first class foreign missions. This fact alone would entitle him to first rank among the great men of his country. He played a big part in the affairs of his city, State and Nation. And from the beginning to the end he played it ably, modestly, and well. Only by enterprise, loyalty and forseight could he have attained this degree of success. We must ever keep in mind that we get out of life just what we put into it, and that “Every mental concept has its corresponding bodily activity.” 84 THE LAUREOLA. HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY Someone has said that the aim of a history should be the preparation of children for citizenship, thorough an understanding of the ideals, institutions achivements and problems of our country. Histories that are just filled with facts, dates, and names no matter how complete, or how presented, cannot accomplish this purpose. Hut it may be done by teaching boys and girls to think of the events and issues of the living present in the light of tneir historical past; by giving them, above all, the sense of how one historical event is but the beginning of another. History teaching, as stated by the Syllabus, during the early years of school life, the child’s interests are mainly in his immediate surroundings. His thoughts are rather of individuals than of the group to which individuals belong. It is at this time that they study the Indian, the Eskimo, and people of various countires. Later he passes to a stage of hero worship, at which time he is brought into touch with the leading characters of history. Then we pass to an early period, where the child reaches the organization, the gang-spirit stage, where he wants to know the causes of events and the effects they have upon the history of the country. When we reach High School many time honored stories of exploration are left out. We think it useless to in the expression of their own ideas. try to teach about the life of Columbus, Washington, Lincoln, and other great historical characters at this age. All descriptions of battles such as Quebec, Saratoga, and Gettysburg are ommitted because experts differ widely as to the strategy of a campaign. To dispose of a battle in ten lines or in ten pages is equally absurd to a serious student of military history. No youth that is called to arms to serve his country would think of studying his history for information about the art of warfare. So, in High School History we try to set forth the important problems and movements of each period, to emphasize those historical topics which help to explain how our nation has come to its high place among the nations of the world. We teach the causes and results of wars, the problems of financing and sustaining armed forces rather than the military strategy. Many current events that have to do with the making of history are emphasized. We aim to stimulate habits of analysis, comparison, association, reflection, and generalization because the effectiveness of their citizenship in our republic will be measured by the excellence of their judgment as well as the fullness of their information. —THruman L. Titus. THE LAUREOLA 85 VALUE OF ENGLISH Since the success of pupils, either in the elementary or high school, depends entirely upon their knowledge of English, an understanding of this subject is so essential that every school course must embrace some form of this branch. Consequently, pupils in the elementary schools must pass a reasonable test in English before they are permitted to begin the work of the next grade, on to enter high school. Likewise, high school students must do the same before they are advanced to the next year’s work. But the object of English, however, is not merely to fulfill these authorized requirements; its value to everyone, either in or out of school, is one of useful service In high school this service is quite important. For example, the boys and girls who enroll in the Latin and French classes must have some knowledge of English for basic purposes. Upon this knowledge depends their progress. Those who are efficient in English usually do good work in forefgn languages, while on the other hand, those who have but a smattering of English do unsatisfactory work not only in these subjects, but in all their subjects. Also, this applies in other branches as well. In mathematics many pupils fail to reason correctly their examples because they do not understand the grammatical constructions involved in the problems. Therefore, in order to do effective work in high school, students should strive to avail themselves with a serviceable knowledge of English. In acquiring this knowledge of English, students should be careful in the selection of appropriate language. In every respect simplicity is essential. Plain English in simple terms carries weight and is easily understood. Otherwise, striving for high-sounding expressions makes a style obscure, weak, and ridiculous. This is shown by the abstruse and disgusting terms a young college student, who was home during his vacation, once used in giving the alarm for fire. It happened that he was the first to notice a blaze on a house roof. Immediately, dashing out into the street he exclaimed, “Conflagration! Conflagration! Bring hither the chemical apparatus for the imperative utilization to extinguish the combustion devasting yonder palatial residence!” The result, however, was very serious. Everybody, thinking the young man either crazy or drunk, stood still in amazement at this explosion of words, while the flames undisturbed gained headway and became uncontrollable. Had he used simple terms in giving the alarm, probably this house could have been saved. Thus, one should remember that plain English should not be replaced by ornamental expressions. In order for pupils to obtain good usage they must study carefull, examples of reputable writers. Authors have placed in their text books on English an abundant supply of different specimens for this purpose. Students should learn the qualities characteristic of good style embodied in these models, and then adhere to these qualities —Lloyd Matson. THE LAUREOLA. 87 JUNIOR CLASS PLAY One of the most successful plays given by the High School was the Junior Class Play, Anne What’s Her Name,” April 12 and 13. Crowded houses marked the performance on both nights despite the fact that it rained the second night. The receipts were the highest taken in on one performance and the class will have a nice sum of money to begin the publication of the Laureola. With the stage beautifully arranged the cast did their very best and a number of patrons remarked that it went over more like a professional production rather than an amateur. Ben Humphries and Alice Lewellyn were the hero and heroine, giving a splendid portrayal of the sacred lover and the mystery loving bride. They furnished the climax and that a pretty picture at the end of the play. (Oy, voy) Winifred DePriest as the aunt could not be beat. She has a mature voice and the ability to intrepret a difficult and important part. Coaching a play would be easy with characters of the ability she has. Burks, the faithful butler, was well played by Frank Christopher and with his extreme height and Bob McComb’s dress suit looked butlerficd as possible. Beatrice Pride and Margaret Culleton as Marjorie and Louise certainly were a fine pair of young ladies and their appearance on the stage wonderfully gowned started a lot of excitable hearts pumping madly. Margaret Nicholson as the flapper and Mary South as Grandma were the two extremes, and what one was the other was not in the matter of clothes and ideas. Both, however, did some fine acting. Kathryn Johnston as Mrs. Ebenezer Whittle with her two children, Lois Riffle and Lawrence Sheetz played the part of the abandoned wife and family, and certainly did herself proud, especially when Henry Marucky as Ebenezer arrived to claim her and have that touching little reunion. If Henry goes at everything like he went for Mrs. Whittle, the whole world will be his. Henry was there with the goods as a henpecked husband. Marcus Pinsker, as Willie, surprised even his parents. Take our advice Willie and don’t let the flappers get you. Walter Fretts played the part of the detective and as a gum shoe artist was hard to beat. Fretts does everything in earnest and to the best of his ability and that’s what counts. James Gault made a very able and distinguished looking judge and with Lloyd Deffenbaugh as the minister, made a pair of old timers that looked and acted like the real thing. If they carry these professions out in life, Deffv will probably unite them and Gault will do the severing of the knot when the divorce mills commence grinding. And now comes Mooney. If it had not been for Moony, there wouldn’t have been any show and Judge Bundy would have never found his pants. Margaret Johnston as the hysterical maid was a real comedian and could stack up against any comedian found on the amateur stage. The play was lightened by a fine chorus between acts, led by Miss La Verna Kendall. Miss Kendall has a fine voice and with proper training ought to make a famous singer.

THE LAUREOLA. 89 SENIOR PLAY On the nights of January twelfth and thirteenth the Senior class, under the direction of J. Carman Newcomer presented as their annual play—the three act Comedy “Come out of the Kitchen ’ by A. E. Thomas to capacity audiences. It was a cleverly played, cleverly acted performance. The plot is centered around the plight of the four Daingerfield children, who are left alone in their lovely Southern mansion while their parents are traveling in Europe seeking to restore the father’s health. Having run completely out of funds and being confronted by imperative debts, they conceive the plan of renting their home to a wealthy northerner, who agrees to pay a sum large enough to see them out of all difficulty, if everything is satisfactory to him. So when at the last minute the corps of white servants, sent to replace their own colored servants at the yankee’s specific request fail to arrive, Olivia persuades the rest of the children to say and act as servants until others can be acquired. And then amusing situations begin. Florence Roy croft in the double roll of the heart breaking Olivia Daingerfield and the equally attractive, Irish cook was charming, Mildred Coldren as her sister and Ara-minta the rebellious chambermaid was also fine, Luke Gil- lin as the dish breaking boy caused much laughter by his funny remarks. As a gentleman butler Brown was truly remarkable. Rand Weeks, the real estate agent and friend of the family who started their troubles by his suggestion was admirably acted by Charles Kuhns. No one who saw Robert Tate as the old negro mammy will soon forget how really funny he was. After the handsome Burton Crane, as excellently portrayed by Charles Hague, arrived with his guests the troubles of the four amateur servants begin. Catherine Rex played perfectly the dignified and highly critical Mrs. Falk-ner, who kept not only her lovely daughter Cora—Carolyn Fiat, and her lover, the poetical an dimaginative Lefferts— Joseph Betchey, but all the rest, constantly in difficulty. Charles Antram, as lawyer and gentleman as Solon Tucker, the persistent admirer of the kitchen and the cook was hard to beat. Finally the servants are all fired and the play happily ends in the discovery by Burton Crane that Jane Ellen the cook with whom he is desperately in love is also Olivia Daingerfield. Two excellent novelty choruses featured the intermissions. ----o----- THE CASTE Paul Daingerfield, alias Smithfield______Milford Brown Olivia Daingerfield, alias Jane Ellen--Florence Roycfort Charles Daingerfield, alias Araminta-----Mildred Coldren Amanda, Olivia’s Black Mammy---------------—Robert Tate Randolph Weeks—Agent of the Daingerfield’s---------- ____________________________________Charles Huhns Burton Crane—From the North______________Charles Hague Mrs. Faulkner—Tucker’s sister------------Katherine Rex Cora Faulkner—Her daughter_______________________Carolyn Fiat Solon Tucker—Crane’s Attorney-------------------Chas.

FRANKLIN LITERARY SOCIETY The Franklin Literary Society was organized in the year of 1909, Prof. Sheet , being the first faculty mmeber. The society was named by Carl Beamies in honor of Benjamin Franklin, that noted character in history, lierature and science. Since the organization of the society there have been 578 members all working fatihfully for its welfare. We have had some very interesting programs including a Thanksgiving program, Christmas Day, Washington-Lin- coln, Stephen C. Foster and St. Patrick’s Day programs, well given and enjoyed. In the County Literary Contest. German Township was represented by a Franklin, Florence Roycroft and was successful in winning the Owen R. Brownfield loving cup. Not only have we excelled in literary contests but also in basketball. In all the fourteen years they have only been defeated once. The score of this years game was tied. We feel that we have had in all around successful year and hope the following years will have just as successful.

Taylor were amonog those who aided in organizing the society. Mr. Chas. Taylor was the first Lanierian President. He has carried off the honor of valedictorian at the Ohio Northern University. The Society was named for Sidney Lanier. He is often called the “Sweet Singer of the South. Lanier wrote both prose and poetry. His prose work was mostly for children. Some of the benefits derived from our literary meetings are that, a great many subjects are discussed which give us a broader outlook on Literature and the topics of the day, our timidity and backwardness is gradually overcome when facing an audience, we also cultivate a good taste for good literature, good music and good speaking. This year has shone that we are making great progress in our Literary Societies. We were most agreeably surprised to discover the unknown talents which were brought forth this year during the rendering of our programs. Although we were crowded at some of our meetings, as when there were separate meetings the Lanierians held their meeting in the commercial rooms, we had fine programs and they were rendered in a very pleasing manner.

A TO PIA, [wELCOAE'fa £l THE LAUREOLA. 101 HISTORY OF ATHLETICS Athletics in general were very successful this year of G. T. H. S. Many candidates turned out for the different branc!-2S at athletics. Football, although many handicaps were encountered, was very successful especially towards the latter part of the season when we tied with Alverton and Mt. Pleasant. Next year’s prospects in football are very promising, as a good deal of the promising material which turned out for the sport—can be developed into star football players. The Basketball season opened with a bang when we played Ccnnetlsville High School. Although we were defeated, Coach Newcomer discovered that every member of the team knew basketball from A to Z. About the middle oc the season a star was uncovered in the person of James Gault. Jim added the much needed punch to the team. After that discovery the season was even more successful Many great athletes were discovered when the interclass track meet was held. Our high school will be well represented at the F. C. I. track and field meet which is to be held at Dawson and we feel certain that the track team will return with flying colors. M. PINSKER, (). SMITH.

Ill BASKETBALL The basketball season was a great success, Coach Newcomer was handicapped by the loss of veteran players but this was soon overcome by the promising material that turned out for the team. It was towards the middle of the season before Gault’s playing ability was discovered. In him a star was uncovered who imparted to the team the much needed fighting spirit. The next year’s team will be composed of practically the same members as this year therefore we ought to have a team hard to surpass as all the men will have some experience.

S. About April 25th, the junior boys under the instruction of Mr. McCombs and Mr. Newcomer, began to prepare and grade the court; the old court is being lengthened 4 feet and will be in perfect condition in a week or so. It was deeply discussed by the officials of the athletic association to make two new courts down on the athletic field, but as they thought a running roll course was more essential and would produce greater results, therefore the new courts were dropped for the year. The same rules apply to the tennis association this year as applied last year. The rules of the association provided that: 1. Each member shall pay the sum of $.50 to the tennis association in return for a ticket. 2. Only one set can be played by members at one time if there are other members waiting to play. 3. Players must be equipped with tennis shoes before going on court. 5. Last player to leave court must take care of net and lock the court. A schedule of faculty and interclass tournaments are being arranged and will be carried out to decide the team to represent the school at all High School tournaments. THE LAUREOLA 118 THE LAUREOLA. TRACK German Township did not know she had so many athletes, until the interclass track meet was pulled off. A good deal of promising material was discovered and Coach Titus will do his best to develop real track men for the coming interscholastic meet which is to be held at Dawson, May 12th. As this material goes to press before the meet is held, it is impossible for us to give the results. We believe that G. T. H. S. will return with high honors. The following are the results of the interclass track meet in which the Juniors won with 67 1-2 points, the Seniors second with 37 1-2 points, the Freshmen third with 13 points and the Sophomores last with 2 points. Cayelli was the high man with Arthur Smith second, and Marucky and Tate tied for third place. Broad Jump—1. Cayelli; 2, Tate; 3 A. Smith; 17 ft. 11 in.

Jas. G.—Isn’t “wholesome” a funny word, father? Father—What’s funny about it? Jas.—Why take away the whole of it and you have some left. G. T. H. S. Minister (To colored woman having her baby baptized) —What do you wish to name the child? “I want to give him the Scriptual name, ‘Hallud’ the mammy replied.” “Pardon me, but in what part of the Bible does that name appear?” “Laud’s Sake, you a preacher and says your prayers everv day and don’t know ‘hallud’ be Thy name?” G. T. H. S. “Pay attention, now,” said the geography teacher. The population of China is so great that two China die every time we take a deep breath.” Later she was astonished to find a small boy, very red in the face, puffing vigorously. What are you doing Tommy? she inquired. “Killing Chinamen,” was the answer. 1 don’t like them, so I’m getting rid of as many of them as I can. G. T. H. S. AN IRISHMAN’S TOAST Whisky, you are me darlint’ 1 love you both early and late, You above all other liquors, 1 pledge me whole estat.e If I were as low as a beggar, You’d make me as high as a king, And whisky, when you’re in me tummy, I rattle, I roar, and I sing. G T H S GOOD EVENING, BARTENDER Boyce—I was arrested last night for impersonating an officer. Royce—What did you do? Boyce—I knocked at a side door and drank the slug of hootch they handed out. G. T. H. S. IN THE DAY’S NEWS “The other day my mother sent me to the grocery store for a pound of sugar. The grocer did not have any on hand, so I went out. When I got on the icy sidewalk I slipped and fell, but I went home with some lumps anyway.” G. T. H. S. My father was killed in a feud I never would ride in one of those cheap cars. G. T. H. S. Another suitor won her Hand, but I am trying to win her back. G. T. H. S. CL'T’ER OUT, DANG! ! The man in the restaurant next to me made so much noise drinking his coffee that a deaf man in the front of the restaurant shouted “Run for your lives, the dam has broken!” G. T. H. S. TOUGH GUYS A couple of darkies argued on the street— “If yo go with dat girl, I’ll cut yo up in pieces so small a ant kin swaller yo.” If yo do I’ll hit yo so ha’d it will make a bump on yo haid so big that when dey call the ambulance dey will put the bump inside and yo’ all will have to walk. G. T. H. S. “Miss Pounder,” said the boss, “you are a very handsome young woman.” “Oh!” said the typist, blushing. “You dress neatly and you have a well-modulated voice. I might add that you deportment is also above reproach.” “You shouldn’t pay me so many compliments.” “Oh, that’s all right,” said the boss. “I merely want THE LAUREOLA. 131 to put you in a cheerful frame of mind before taking: up the matter of your punctuation and spelling.” G. T. H. S. Anne—Oh, Jim, you must have a dance with my old school mate Miss Kendall—let me introduce you. Jim--Gosh, I’d like to, but you see it’s this way. G. T. H. S. WORTH ENGAGING Into the office of a business man rushed a bright faced lad. For three minutes he waited and then began to show signs of impatienc. “Excuse me, sir,” he said at length, “I’m in a hurry.” “Well, what do you want ?” asked the business man. “A job!” “Got to hurry,” replied the lad briefly. “Left school yesterday and haven’t struck anything suitable yet. The only place where I can stay long is where they pay me for it.” “How much do you want?” “Fifteen dollars a week for a start.” “And, when can you come?” “Don’t need to come; I’m here. I could have been at work five minutes ago if vou’d only said so.” G. T. II. S. The girls who have their picture taken with their mouths open usually have good looking teeth. G. T. H. S. Why is that the girl who won’t even let a man sit on the same sofa with her will let him get a strangle hold on her on a dance floor and squeeze her until you can’t tell the corset ribs from the other kind? G T H S TOO GOOD TO LOSE The story is told that one of the examiners in a certain school was accosted by the athletic coach. “If you please, sir,” he began, “there are two splendid fellows on the football team—” “Now stop,” said the professor, severly. “If you want to ask me to pass these boys, who have flunked their examinations, just because they are good athletes, I refuse absolutely. There’s been—” “No sir; no, sir,” hurriedly interrupted the petitioner, “it’s just the other way. They’re such brilliant students that 1 wanted to beg you to make them flunk, so that we could keep them for another year.” G. T. H. S. Matson—According to Milton’s idea of the universe, where is hell, Hague? Hague (suddenly awakening at the sound of his name) —Here, sir. G. T. H. S. Wheeler—I nivver go to the bank on Satherdays.. Honsaker—An’ f’r why not? Wheeler—Sure, an’ th’ sign on th’ door says ’tis only 9 to 12 I’ll get me money. G. T. H. S. Nervous Passenger—Are there any life preservers on board, captain? Captain—Great guns, man! Can’t you wait until we’re outside the three-mile limit? G. T. H. S. Heulah—What have we today that we didn’t have a hundred years ago? Florence—We didn’t have you. G. T. II. S. Stephen—So you and Albert don’t speak. W’nat’s the trouble ? Anne—We had a dreadful quarrel about which one loved the other the most. G. T. H. S. Patsy Kelley, at restaurant—What did you sav this meat was? Waiter—Spring chicken, sir. Kelley—I believe you! I’ve been chewing on one of the 132 THE LAUREOLA. springs for 30 minutes. G. T. H. S. Marucky—Do you ever feel cheap? Christopher—1 have seen the time when you could have bought me for a cent, wholesale or retail. G. T. H. S. Rudisill—What with the young girls wearing short hair and knickers, it’s difficult to tell them from boys. Sheetz—On the contrary, the problem is quite simple If the young person is washed behind the ears, it’s a girl. G. T. H. S. Mrs. McCombs—Here’s a story of a man who sold his wife for a horse. You wouldn’t sell me for a horse, would you, darling? Mr. McCombs—Of course, not, dear! But I’d hate to have anvone tempt me with a really good mule! G. T. H. S. Miss Kelley—Eleopements generally turn unhappily. What do ministers marry couples for? Shuss—Oh, about two dollars per. G. T. II. S. WHAT IS A POLE BEAR? Jacques had not been over from France very long and did not know the language very well; so when he wanted to know the meaning of a word he went to his friend Hodges. One day he came and asked. “What is him a pole bear?” “You mean a polar bear? That’s an animal that’s up in the north, lives on the ice and eats fish.” “I will not be heem! I will not be heem!” cried Jacques excitedly. “Mv dear fellow,” said Tlodges, “no one wants you to be a polar bear.” “But yes, monsieur,” answered Jacques; “a man next door he die, and ze neighbors say will I be pole bear. But live on ice and eat fish—nevaire!” Donges—They may talk of business being bad, but I know a man whose trade is looking up. MacDougal—Is that so? And what is he? Donges—An astronomer. G. T. H. S. Teacher in arithmetic—“Say Tommy, suppose I loaned your father $500, and he was to pay it back at the rate of $10 per month, how long would it take to get my $500 back?” Tommy—“You never would get it back; you don’t know my father.” G. T. H. S. There is a story of a hair-pulling match that took place in the dressing room of a theatre given over to musical comedy. The producer rushed down and separated the two participants. “What is the matter?” he asked the victor. “I’ll teach that baby to Broad A me,” she replied. G. T. II. S. The 17-year-old girl was talking to the man who had been the family physician for three decades. “Do you think appears are inadequately dressed?” she asked him. “Well,” he replied slowly, “you do at least have r. little more on than when I first met you.” G. T. H. S. A FORCED MARCH The young man is a-walking with his girl, Hear him swear That he loves her and adores her, And he wooes her, and, of course, her Little foolish heart doth force her; She’s half crazy and her thoughts are in a whirl. The young man is a-walking with his girl. (Hear him swear) THE LAUREOLA. 133 She is two months old and screaming, While around the room he’s streaming And her ma is in bed dreaming; He’s half crazv and his thoughts are in a whirl. G. T. H. S. Judge (to lady witness)—Married? Witness—Yes. Twice. Judge—Age? Witness—Twenty-six. Judge—Also twice? G. T. H. S. The witness had just been severely reprimanded by the court for having talked insultingly to a policeman—in fact, he had openly called the officer a jackass: “You mean to say that it is a misdemeanor to call a policeman a jackass?” asked the witness. “It certainly is, at least morally, in the opinion of this court,” was the answer. “Is it any harm to call a jackass a policeman?” queried the witness again. “None whatever.” smiled the judge. As the witness left the courtroom, he turned and said to the policeman: “Goodbve, policeman!” G. T. H. S. The darling little baby had just reached that age when he could coo, an accomplishment in which he indulged most of the time. And proudly his mother was telling the tale of his accomplishments. “He is the most welcome visitor I ever had,” she said, giving him a smacking kiss. “He just lies and talks to me by the hour. Don’t you baby ? Don’t’oo tell mother everything?” . The baby cooed obliginlv, and mother’s friend replied: “Isn't that nice! So unlike other visitors—they just talk and lie to you by the hour!” “Fop.” “Yes, my son.” “What are the ‘Middle Ages ?’ ” “Why, the middle ages, my boy, are the ones which, when the women reach, they stop counting.” G. T. H. S. Jim is perfectly devoted to that blonde. His family thinks it is a case of hypnotism.” “Huh! Seems to me more like chemical attraction.” G. T. H. S. Anna Rex—And what do you think of my French, M’sieur le Comte? Newcomer—Mademoiselle! But it is wonderful! In all mv life, I haf nevare’ eard anything like it! G. T. H. S. Whatsoever a pupil sows in time of school, that shall he also reap in time of examinations. G. T. H. S. Irate Motorist—“I thought you told me this car would last a lifetime!” Dealer—“Ah-er-it will, sir.” Motorist— Whose lifetime, for heaven’s sake?” Dealer—“Er-its own, sir.” G. T. II. S. Mae—She’s a dumb-bell. Adeline—Nevertheless a belle. Mae—Nevertheless dumb. G. T. H. S. LAMP THE VAMP Curses on thee, little “vamp,” With thy fascinating lamp, With thy little lengthened skirt And Abbreviated Shirt; With thine arms and shoulders bare, And thy limbs, at which I stare; With thy form so full of life, I almost forgot my wife. 134 THE LAUREOLA. Deacon Hornblower heard that the apple crop was likely to be a water-haul that year because of threatened invasion by pests. To the other apple growers assembled he said solemnly, as he started to kneel down: “Let us pray.” But Ike Hardboyle took his hat and started out of the room, saying: “Let us spray.” Moral—Faith without work is dead. G. T. H. S. It isn’t every one who enjoys the philosophy of life expressed by a maid of all work, who. by the way, owns to the name of Lovey Dear. She was busily chasing the elusive dust and soot Saturday afternoon at the home of a woman who found that day her only one of leisure for household duties. “I certainly am glad,” she said, “to find someone who will work on Saturdays.” “Well,” replied Lovey, “I wants work. And them as wants work has to work at the time them as wants 'em wants ’em to work at.” And that seemed to cover the situation. G. T. H. S. She—“Now if you were in my shoes, what would you do?” He—“Groan with agonv.” G. T. H. S. Motorist—“I ran across a friend of yours last week.” Friend—“Hurt him much?” G. T. H. S. Miss Leonard—Have you any prominent men in your family, Mr. Shuss. Shuss—Yes, one of my forefathers was an admiral. A tone time he led the world’s combined fleet. “How interesting. What was his name?” “Noah.” G. T. H. S. Margaret S.—Why wasn’t Eve afraid of measles? Anne C.—What a strange question? Why. Margaret S.—Because she’d Adam. G. T. H. S. Bill—I hear that Ruth Newlywed worships her husband. Deffy—Yes she places burnt offerings before him three times a day. G. T. H. S. Winifred I).—I read that book you wrote about ancient history, and I can’t say much for it; there are too many mistakes in it. Titus—How so? Winifred D.—Well, one thing made me laugh. You said a guy named Epicurus was born in 348 B. C., and then a little further on you said he died in 270 B. C. That kills him off before he was bom. G. T. H. S. Matson—Who was the poet who wrote about “man’s inhumanity to man?” Pinsker—I don’t recall. What reminded you of that quotation ? Matson—I’ve just discovered that I paid $10 for a quart of cold tea. G. T. H. S. Buell—Did you read Cicero’s orations when you went to school? McCombs, I was afraid it would give me classical ideas that would spoil my form for the gatherings I addressed at the post office and general store. G. T. H. S. Newcomer—Why don’t you get married, old chan? Titus—Why should I ? I’ve got trouble enough with my radio. G T H S Prof. Sheetz—What is As 6---? Antram—T—T—it’s right on my tongue. THE LAUREOLA. 135 Prof. Sheetz—Spit it out; spit out; it’s arsenic. G. T. H. S. Herbert B.—Just how would you define a true Christian? Fretts—Well, for one thing; I’d say a man was a true Christian who prays for rain when his own roof leaks. G. T. H. S. Michael Roll—How do you make a veal loaf? Honsaker—First select a lazy calf, and the rest is easy. G. T. H. S. Kuhns—Hague’s rich uncle cut him off with practically nothing. Betchy—Bobbed hair, so to speak. G. T. H. S. Judge Bunsby—Look here, Wright, didn’t you tell me the last time you were up for stealing chickens that if I let you off you would do better in the future? Wright—Surely, Judge, surely. Dis time it’s turkeys. G. T. H. S. Fresh—How do you suppose a fellow with two wooden legs can walk? Soph—He probably just manages to lumber along. G. T. H. S. Margaret S.—Who is that fellow with the long hair? Anne C.—He’s a fellow from Yale. Margaret S.—Oh, I’ve often heard of those Yale locks. G. T. H. S. Jim—Were 1 a raindrop and you a rose, do you know what I’d do? Marie—Why, you’d evaporate, I suppose, and so I'd be rid of you. G. T. H. S. Gertrude—Don’t you think Pearle looks spiituelle in that evening gown ? Bill—Well, I must admit there’s not much of the material about her. WHY SHIP IS ’’SHE” Here are some answers to the question: “Why do they call a ship she?” If you ever tried to steer one you wouldn’t ask. Because it takes so long to get them ready to go anywhere. They need almost as much dolling up and painting as any woman you ever saw. A ship’s gotta have its own way or it won’t go. Ships always come off the ways backward like the members of a sex alighting from street cars. It costs so much to keep one in operation. They are always calling at some place or another. Because shipbuilders can’t live without them? Who ever won an argument from them? Because they are held together with steel. Because they are forever blowing off steam. Because they frequently toss their noses in the air. G. T. H. S. Tom Gillin—Lend me a fiver, will you, old pal? A. Smith—I will when I come back from New York. Tom—When are you coming back? Smith—Between ourselves. I’m not going. G. T. H. S. Alice Minor—When you refused him my hand, papa, did he go down on his knees? Mr. Minor—Well, I didn’t notice just where he landed. G. T. H. S. Marie—I haven’t a good word for that feller, Jim. Dan—Well, they ain’t much good said about him. But I’ll say one good thing about Jim, he wasn’t always as mean as he was sometimes. G. T. II. S. Miss Leonard—Do you know who is the laziest person in this room? F. Culleton—I dunno. Leonard—You ought to. Who is it, when everybody 136 THE LAUREOLA. else is industriously studying, sits and watches the rest or looks out of the window. Culleton—Why, you Miss Leonard. G. T. H. S. Mr. Minor—Do you think you could support my daughter ? Lloyd—Why, yes, sir, I do, I never heard it intimated that your daughter was insupportable. G. T. H. S. Jennie R.—Waitin’ for a train, Rats? Tate—Certainly not. What do you think I’d be hanging around a railroad station for, with a couple of suitcases? I’m going to ride a camel from here to San Francisco. G. T. H. S. Ella—Every time a baby looks into my face it smiles. Adeline—Well, it may not be exactly polite, but it shows that it has a sense of humor. G. T. H. S. Boss of the Boarding House—Good gracious! I found three big rats in the pantry. Grouchy Boarder—Close the door on ’em and let ’em starve to death. G. T. H. S. A BOV’S COMPOSITION ON COOPER J. Fenimore Cooper was a full blooded American writer and very full at that. He wrote a book about Stockings and was born and brought up in Saranac Lake, New York, about a year after the death of his parents. G. T. H. S. DEMPSEY’S OPPONENT. Little Jack, aged six, was greatly enthused over the work in the gymnasium. One day after recess Jack was missing, and during a studious moment in the class permitted the teacher to go in search of him. She found him in the gymnasium diligently exercising. Jack,” she exclaimed, What are you doing, don’t you know recess is over?” Oh, Miss Williams,” he replied, 1 was just taking my physicial agriculture.” G. T. H. S. DEW DROPS Said the shoe to the stockin: I’ll wear a hole in you.” Said the stocking to the shoe I’ll be darned if you do.” G. T. H. S. Marie—My mother is good at reading faces. Jim—Well, then I had better not j rint any kisses there. G. T. H. S. Titus— Does the moon affect the tide (tied) R. Moser—No, it affects the untied. G. T. II. S. Viona— Try the waiter with some of your French, dear.” Paul B.—“The very thing. Gass-on, Gass-on (Garcon). Waiter— No, Sir, only the electric light. G. T. H. S. K.

SCHOOL DAYS Oh, ha c you forgotten those afternoons When we played “hooky” down by the stream. When cur hearts thrilled with joy to hear those croons, As you softly sank off to dream Of the bright morning, and hear birds singing On the tree tops near the farm yards. And at nine the master’s bell was ringing. For school boys and girls were his guards? Oh, don’t you remember each happy day When you and I roamed o’er the hills, And saw the planes flying over the bay. While we softly stole to the mills, W’here school boys and girls were waiting for us? Wre played games and sang, and told tales About goblins the farmers would discuss; THE LAUREOLA. 141 But now. alas! let’s take our pails. Oh, have you forgotten little Jeanie With golden curls and twinkling eyes That shone on the boys in school so puny ? She was their “Queen of Paradise.” Those memories of school days have gone by, As my hair turns to silver-gray, And little Jeanie far away will sigh For loved ones and friends each day. Oh, don’t you remember that wintry night As you and I played on the ice By the moon that shone on the pond so bright? Tho’ the world may know my advice; As I sit by the firelight and read books Of Voltaiare and other great men, My heart goes sailing back to dreamy nooks That whimper near my home again. —Anne Judith Cottage, ’24. Pearle Payton—I should like to see any man try to kiss me! Hackney—No doubt—but you shouldn’t admit it! G. T. H. S. Donges—Come, my baby doll, let us stroll over to the Summer Garden and have supper. Florence Miller—Call a taxi. It’s bad enough to be called a baby doll; but I’m certainly not one of those mechanical walking dolls. G. T. H. S. Viona—That girl on the sofa looks all broken up. Alice—Yes, her fiance just crushed her in his arms. G. T. II. S. Lloyd—They say that love is the greatest thing in the world. I wonder why, dear? Alice—You’ve got me. G. T. H. S. When Adam in bliss asked Eve for a kiss, She puckered her lips with a coo. Gave looks so ecstatic, answered emphatic, I don’t care—A-dam if I do. G. T. H. S. Wright—Is she very pretty? Cayelli—Pretty? Say, when she gets on a street car the advertising is a total loss. G. T. H. S. Oliver Smith—Say, waiter, is this an incubator chicken? It tastes like it. Waiter—I don’t know, sir. 0. Smith—It must be. Any chicken that has had a mother could never get as tough as this one is. G. T. H. S. ONE LESSON THAT WENT WRONG He is only 8 years old, but from somewhere or other he has picked up the habit of using profanity. His fond mother has been both distressed and embarrassed by the frequent outbursts of her pride and joy. Recently he was invited to a party in the neighborhood. “Now, Charlie,” she said to him, “if you will be a good boy and if you don’t say a bad word for a week I’ll let you go co the party.” Charlie promised, kept his word and was at last dressed in his best for the glad event. As he was leaving his mother said to him: “Charlie, I have telephoned Mrs. So-and-So that if you say a single word that you shouldn’t she is to send you right home. Do you understand?” The boy said he did and departed. In about 20 minutes he was back again on the front porch. “Why, Charlie?” his mother exclaimed, “were you sent home from the party for swearing?” “No,” replied the boy, “the dam party was yesterday.” G. T. H. S. After having paid a fine of $5 and costs, a certain man 142 THE LAUREOLA. directed some rather indelicate language at Justice Cooney of Compton, and then ran. An officer captured him, brought him before the justice, who fined him $10 more. “Had you been more chaste and refined in your language.” said the justice, “you would have been chased and refined.” G. T. H. S. Mrs. Bryan—That new cook of ours makes everything out of the cook book. Jimmie—Then that must have been one of the covers I tasted in the pie last night. G. T. H. S. Judge—Have you anything to offer the Court before sentence is passed on you? Prisoner—No, your honor; my lawyer took my last dollar. Mrs. McCombs—How long did your last cook stay ? Mrs. Rudisill—Just long enough to say she wouldn’t . G. T. H. S. Chris and Henri had been away from home against their mother’s commands and she was waiting for them with a switch. “Chris, vare you been?” “Mit Henri.” “Henri, vare you been?” “Mit Chris.” “Vare you both been?” “Togedder.” G. T. H. S. Mr. and Mrs. Newbride had at last obtained a house in a suburb of Boston, and Mr. Newbride was hanging the pictures. There was one picture which was too heavy to suspend from the moulding. He thereupon got a spike and hammered it into the wall. There came a knock at the door. “It’s Mr. Nextdoor,” said the wife, running to the window. “Your hammering has disturbed him.” Mr. Newbride hastened to apologize. “Oh, I don’t mind the noise,” replied Mr. Nextdoor, cheerfully. “1 only came to ask if I might hang a picture on the other end of the nail.” G. T. H. S. Father, I need a new riding habit.” “Can’t afford it,” he growled. “But, father, what am I to do without a riding habit?” “Get the walking habit.” G. T. H. S. DONT’S FOR FRESHMEN Don’t think you know more than the Professors. Don’t think you can rule the school. Don’t forget you are only a freshman. Don’t try to see how little you can do. Don’t fail to try for a team if you have any athletic ability at all. Don’t participate in any puppy love. Don’t fail to support the Red and Black. Don’t fail to join the athletic association. Don’t enter Room 25 without preparation. Don’t waste time when the lights go out. Don’t be a hall loafer. Don’t be a hard boiled egg because you will find it to be too soft. Don’t get home sick. Don’t form the bad habit—smoking and skipping classes. Don’t be like a bubble cause you will soon blowup. Don’t watch the Faculty during Chapel. Don’t call anybody a liar (lyre) because there is danger of not having the ability to play it. Don’t park your cars on the wrong side although it is on the right. Don’t enter the lunch room without first eating a hearty meal.

Titus________________________________2nd Bass Music is the harmony of sound by which we would be unable to express otherwise. Music in the high school is almost as essential as many other studies. The G. T. H. S. orchestra consists of eleven pieces. Although we just started this year, and many were beginners, and also quite a few practices were missed. We got along remarkably well. As there is always an exception to the rule. One must make exceptions when listening to some of the practices which we have. According to the definition above I’m afraid our orchestra’s noise couldn’t be classed as music, unless it were the means by which we were expressing some of our worst thoughts. With Mr. Kinder as an instructor we have progressed far enough to be able to play at several gatherings at the school and other places. With one more years practice, and a few more pieces added to our orchestra, we should have one of the best high schoolorchestras in the country. “Music draws the home circle closes—makes more intimate the cherished friendship. Music seems living—immortal—as it calls back to memory old scenes—old faces.” THE LAUREOLA. 147 MATRIMONIAL SOCIETY Motto: Marry in haste and report at leisure.
