However, I am going to introduce myself for the sake of you who are new and to those of you who have foi-gotten me. Also I am going to set forth my purpose in life for those who know me and for those who do not. I am the Laureola. I am a record of all important events and activities connected with the High School for the school My life’s purpose is to serve you. Consult faces which may have been long forgotten; I can restore to your treasure chest many a lost gem; I can recall to your memory many a a forgotten thought, which might otherwise be swept up like a speck of lint, on the hurrying winds of time and whisked away forever; I bring back youth as the heavy mist of ad-year of 1924-25. vancing years, threatening to befog your memories, will be rolled back by the “Laureola,” and you will be enabled to bask in the Golden Sunshine of Youth once more; I am, in fact a veritable Foundation of Youth in whose restorative waters you may refresh yourself until Eternity. I am, THE LAURELA. 6 THE LAUREOLA | (| Qrifcatum To Miss Minnie Hoover, a popular and esteemed member of our faculty, whose sincere teaching and sage counsel are bound to send us out to the battle of life with greater confidence and determination, we, as a token of our appreciation, respectfully dedicate the LAUREOLA OF ’25.

The school we love the best, is German Township High, And far above the rest, her flag shall always fly. We’ll guard her emblem well, that none may float ahead Of Alma Mater’s banner fair, the Black and Red. (Harmony—Loud) Oh! Black and Red we love thy fair, fair fold; 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! II. 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.

THE LAUREOLA 39 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY In 1921 we boys and girls came to High School feeling we had accomplished much, but now we realize how little it was. These four years have sobered us much. We have had our lessons in loyalty, accuracy, and diligence. Everlasting keeping at it is the keynote to success. It will be good for us to keep this in mind as we go into the world not knowing what is before us. May it be possible that our lives be richer and fuller for these years spent here. We have had to go beyond the three R’s during these four years. We have studied hard and learned much. Our class has put on several plays which we plays which we feel were successful. By them we received training for public speaking. Practice is required to attain perfection in anything we do. It is required that we develop not only the mental side of our life, but the social and physical side also. We have had a few social affairs. Tlv- party given to us by the Sophomores when we were Freshmen was a red letter evening. We have had other parties at different holidays. When Juniors we entertained the Senior Class to a party and dance. Our class members have taken an active part in athletics although there have been just a few who have won honors. In history are recorded the names of great men and women. But some of the greatest in the name of all that is worth while have left marks but no thrilling story of their life and work. We hope that we may have a few of the former and more of the latter. The Senior Class bids farewell to the other classes with best wishes, and to the teachers for whom we have a grateful feeling for their patience and help. FAREWELL! Mary Louise Weller. SENIOR POEM Though rosy lips from the silver cup Are not permitted champagne to sup, Silver and Rose are the colors fair. Of a banner triumphant that floats in the air. “To the stars through difficulties” a motto we love For the stars shed silver down from above, While the thorns of the roses the hardships suggest, So we still love our Colors and Motto the best. You may ask, what is it about our school That makes us study and heed every rule? Sentiment, romance, heraldry, lore. Colors and Motto have done vastly more Than the casual reader would ever suppose, “Ad astra per aspera” Hail, Silver and Rose! The time now has come when the portals we leave No doubt some are happy, perchance some may grieve, But, when out in the world, as backward we look Do we call to our minds the old Latin book, The English and Hist’rv and Math that we got The Science and French and other what-not, The volumes of Classics through which we poured 40 THE LAUREOLA The facts all up in our camiums stored, Or is it a pennant that floats “Red and Black” To gladden our hearts if we chance to look back? And just an old motto in that transient hour Makes us realize then that “Knowledge is power.” Farewell and be happy! A sentiment sweet. There are stars in the heavens, though thorns at our feet. Yet thee, Alma Mater, we’ll keep in lirst place Like a bunch of sweet roses in a silvery vase. And pure as the water that keeps them alive, May we ever be, the Class o’ Twenty-Five. Edith Stuyvesant.

Shortly after the beginning of school we were entertained by the Sophomores, in the gymnasium. The next event in our class history was the class meeting held for the purpose of organizing our class, electing officers, adopting colors, and composing our motto. We chose for our colors “Black and Old Rose” and “Finis opus coronet” some sentence. (May the end crown our work) for our motto. The Freshman Class that year made a fine showing in literary work and athletics. Our first year was nearing an end. After the final examination, hoping to come back to school as Sophomores the next year. On the morning of September 3, 1923, we entered the doors of German Township High School to begin a new term. We were proud of our new name “Sophomore.” During the first month of school we gave a reception for our Freshies. Other social gatherings were held during the year. We all worked hard to become Juniors this year. This year we came to dear old German Township High School to begin a new term. Our class is coming to the front rapidly in literary work and athletics. Our specialties in athletics being football and basketball. In literary work we have debators, musicians, and orators. As this year is nearing its end we hepe that all of us can succeed in passing final examinations and all of us become seniors next year. GUY F. EBERHART. THE LAUREOLA 63 JUNIOR CLASS POEM 1925 1 Our third year of high school will soon be o’er, And we aim to work and win; For when we have done our duty, We’ll face the world with a grin. 2 We’ll turn again to our lessons, When the summer days are o’er, And we’ll strive again to climb higher, Then we did the years before. 3 To learn in our school is a pleasure, For our teachers make it so, And we want to share that pleasure, E’er out into the world we go. 4 What we will be in the future, Is determined by today, Do we put our most attention To what the wise ones say? 5 “A word to the wise is enough,” Franklin the wise has said, If we take those words and consider. Tomorrow we’ll be a step ahead.” Anthony F. Caruso.

A class meeting was held where we organized the class, elected officers, adopted colors and composed our motto. VVe chose “Maroon and White,” for our colors, “American Beauty Rose,” as our flower, and, “By work we reach the goal for which we are striving,” for our motto. On the anniversary on which we entered the German Township High School, we returned as Sophomores. Our number was reduced to 120 pupils who still live up to the class motto. Things were not so strange to us after our first long vacation. We awaited the approach of the Freshmen to have our share of the fun at their expense, but on the other hand, it was agreed to show them the hospitality we received from the Sophomores who preceded us. Our class was represented in all branches of athletics. We had a winning basketball team, outplaying the other classes and handing defeat to different teams of various districts. We have all worked hard and are looking forward to be classed as Juniors when we enter the school next year. William Powell, ’27. SOPHOMORE ROASTS Robert Ambrose—Watches house No. 313 N.

On September 1, 1924, one hundred and eight-four bright and willing boys and girls entered the door of German Township High School. We realized that a great responsibility was placed on our shoulders but, by careful study we have successfully completed our first year’s work. On October 17, the Sophomores tendered us a receiption in the gymnasium which was highly appreciated by the class. Our colors are blue and gold and the American Beauty Rose is our class flower. “Scientia nostra crescat, meaning, May Our Knowledge Increase,” is the motto we expect to keep. Now, as one of our four years of toil is coming to an end, and our history is, as yet, very short, we hope that our next three years of study spent here will prove as pleasant and profitable as the past year. Robert Gray, ’28. 76 THE LAUREOLA THE LAUREOLA 77 Commercial Class History When the doors of German Township High School opened one morning four years ago a number of Freshmen were waiting on the outside ready to climb the steps to Wisdom. For four short years we have trod those same steps, and at times, we have found our work just as hard as those same stone steps—but through perseverance and determination we have won our goal—Graduation. After two years in the Academic Department we shouted, “Excelsior” and we climbed higher—entering the Commercial Department. Under several instructors in the Junior Division we surmounted the difficulties of Bookkeeping, Commercial law, and various other subjects. Then, several members of our class finding the work too onerous, decided to get married or take up some other phase of work, left the fold. The remainder of us, feeling that one more year would find us further advanced and better prepared to meet life, remained. As the doors opened again to admit us in September of the 1924-25 school term we knew a great responsibility was ours. We again climbed the stairs, but this time entered the Senior Division. At the end of the first day we knew there was work for us to master as we soon became aware of Miss Leonard’s dislike for shirkers and knew that we must either work or leave the Senior Division of the Commercial Department—we decided to—WORK. We do not content that we have mastered Shorthand, Typewriting, Office Training and all the other subjects, but we do know that we now have the ability to be masters of our fate—enter an office and do efficient work. Life to us now, boys and girls alike, does not hold any horror or fear—we know we have trained powers—and that is why we are now graduating from our dear old Alma Mater—German Township High School. We have had many pleasant days under thy roof, Alma Mater, We have tried our motto to be true, We have up-held our colors all the while. Red and Black—Gold and Blue. Lyda E. Shank. THE LAUREOLA THE LAUREOLA 79 Latin Club The aLtin Club of G.T. H. S. has been very successful in the two years of its existence. Not only has the interest in Latin been marked since the organization of this club, but its meetings are considered among the foremost social activities of the school. The aim and purpose of the club therefore, has been accomplished. The following were the officers elected for this year: Consuls- Praetors Aedils___ Quaestor ( David Honsaker ) Ralph Stout j Jane Lardin { Elsie Merck {Mary Louise Weller Leona Christopher Ronert Connell _________Bill Shank In closing I hope that the interest of the Latin Club will be furthered by the under classmen and aht it will grow in number from year to year. History Club The History Club was organized last year for the first time. It was organized for the purpose of giving the history students a better conception of American History. Several programs were rendered last year and proved such a success, that it was reorganized this year. Pupils taking history as a subject or who had formerly taken it in their high school course were eligible to be members of this club. One measure which was taken this year for the improvement of the club was the requirement of the pupils to give a current event in history class once every two weeks. This enabled the pupils to keep in touch with every day occurrences. This club has been greatly improved this year and we hope it may improve still more next year and the following year. The following officers were elected: President-------------------------------------------Leona Christopher Vice President-------------------------------------------Jane Lardin Secretary---------------------------------------------Alberta Johnson Treasurer--------------------------------------------Evelyn Brashear 80 THE LAUREOLA French Club The French Club in G. T. H. S. was first organized in the year of 1923. Finding that the club had proved a great success in bringing the French students to a more perfect understanding and familiarization of the French language, it was again formed this year. And again has proved a success. Several programs were rendered in the auditorium by members of the French Club. All selections were rendered in French. At the opening of the program the roll was called and every member present answered with a French quotations. Though not understanding all of the words spoken the members of the club were generally able to understand the most of them and in this way learned more French. But the good time came after the program when everyone went to the gymnasium where the rest of the evening was spent in playing games. Refreshments were served after the good time was over. All went home from these parties feeling they had gained something by attending the program, and the party. The French students feel that they have come to a better understanding with French, thans to their competent instructor, Prof. J. C. Newcomer. Good Luck to the French Club! May it continue in the succeeding years making it’s members accomplished French Students.

What other American is there whose examples have been so worthy as that of Benjamin Franklin. This is the 16th year of the existance of the Franklin Society and each year has found this society improving in it’s literary work. Some excellent programs were rendered this year, including a Thanksgiving, Christmas, St. Patrick’s Day, and Washington and Lincoln program. These programs were enjoyed by all. Literary work is as beneficial as class work as it enables the students to speak in public more easily. A new step has been taken in literary work this year. All juniors are now required to deliver an oration or a reading. The purpose of this is in order to find out the literary ability of pupils before they are seniors. Although this plan was not liked at all by the Juniors, it has proved a very good plan and some excellent readings have been delivered by them. The society has shown great improvement this year but there is still room for more. It should be the aim of every member of the seciety to make it worthy of the name Benjamin Franklin. May all of the members of this society use Benjamin Franklin as their model through all life.

It was named for Sidney Lanier “The Sweet Singer of The South”. Lanier wrote both prose and poetry. His prose work was mostly for children. At the meetings a great many subjects are discussed which give us a broader outlook on Literature and topics of the day. Our timidity and backwardness is gradually overcome when facing an audience, we also cultivate a good taste of good literature, good music and good speaking. This year we are making a great success in our literary work. We were very much surprised to discover the unknown talents which were brought forth in the rendering of the programs. The programs rendered by the Franklin and Lanierian Societies proved to be a great success. We feel that we have a very successful year in our literary work and hope the following years will be just as successful.

Science is, nothing but trained and organized common sense. Dr. Eliot once said: “The best part of all human knowledge has come by exact and studied observation, made through the senses of sight, hearing, taste, smell and touch. The training of the senses should always have been a primary object in human education, at every stage from primary to professional. The men who have done the most for the human race since the nineteenth century began, through the right use of their reason, imagination, and will, aie the men of science.” Assimilation of the scientific methods results in: 1. Accurate ob- servation and straight seeing. 2. Exact and impartial reporting. 3. Careful reflection, precise and measured reasoning, and truthful attitude of mind that will give an honest reaction on the facts found. Science embraces the whole immense round of truth. It is the product of human reason applied to the phenomena of nature. The ideals of science are: 1. To understand nature, that the boundaries of human knowledge may be extended, and man may live in an ever-widening perspective. 2. To apply this knowledge to the service of man, that his life may be fuller of opportunity; and 3. To use the method of science in training may, so that he may solve his problem and not be their victim. No boy or girl should leave school without possessing a grasp of the general character of science, and without having been disciplined, more or less, in the methods of all sciences. The study of Biology, Physics, and Chemistry will fit the boy or girl to cope with the problems of life. It will enable him or her to enjoy the things of the world, for, without a knowledge of the universe and what is in it, life is merely a state of existence. Sperser once remarked: “For discipline, as well as for guidance, science is of chiefest value. Tn all its effects, learning the meanings of things, is better than learning the meanings of words.” Science teaches accuracy and accuracy is the foundation of everything else. It is the part of the scientist to lift the veil from the mysteries of Nature and thus allow non-scientific but intelligent persons to understand and appreciate the laws and truths of Nature. It is only by overcoming nature that man can rise. The two outstanding professions of the future will be Biology and Engineering. Biology will protect man against animal and plant parasites, thus safeguarding his environment and inci'easing the length of his life. Engineering, which includes Physics and Chemistry, will control the forces and materials of nature for the benefit of the human race. Both professions rest on a foundation of science. Louis Pasteur wrote: “Take interest, I implore you. in those sacred dwellings which one desinates bv the expressive term: Laboratories. Demand that they be multiplied, that they be adorned; these are the temnles of the future—temples of well-being and happiness. There it is that humanity grows greater, stronger, better.” —J. D. Shaner. 84 THE LAUREOLA Courtesy By Anna F. Leonard When saluted with a saluation, salute the person with a better salutation, or at least return the same, for God taketh account of all things.— Koran. again Henry Clay has said: “The courtesies of a small and trivial character are the ones which strike deepest to the grateful and appreciating heart. It is the picayune compliments which are the most appreciated; far more than the double ones we sometimes pay.” M. A. Kelty has most charmingly said: “Small kindnsses, small courtesies, small considerations, habitually practiced in our social intercourse, give a greater charm to the character than the display of great talents and accomplishments.” Who would dare dispute the above ? “Courtesy First” is the motto of many of the largest mercantile businesses and this is carried out so well by the employees of the firms that one immediately feels that one must be as courteous to them in return as possible. Why should that motto not be ours in our every day life—during all our waking and working hours? Few people stop to think just why a day has been pleasant and serene: why burdens have seemed lighter, when they were really heavier than they were habitually used to bearing. If they only looked back and reviewed all the happenings of the day, they would really behold bright smiles, kind words, sympathy and tolerance—all these virtue through COURTESY. Courtesy adds greatly to one’s value whether in business life or social life. Even the most uncouth of us is charmed by courtesy. Now many times, after a heated discussion, have we shown discourtesy to a friend, fellow-worker, acquaintance, or even a stranger, and, afterwards, reviewing the hastily spoken words, would have given our dearest possession to recall the unkindness. It has been claimed that “love is the greatest thing in the world,” which possibly may be true, but the word Love has been used in so many different ways that it may mean a great many things which it is not. The honest expression of the good-will we bear one another makes no small part of life’s happiness. It is hard to over-estimate the tremendous force of Good Will; we could scarcely exist without it, and good-will is the foundation of all courtesy. We often look at the fleeing clouds in the sky, hear beautiful composition in music or verse, listen to the prattle of little children, or speak with a friend, and it soothes and gladdens and leaves us with a pleasant feelin gtoward life in general. It is our duty to treat our fellow-beings with politeness and fairness and consideration. If we spent more time in correcting our own errors and not looking for them in others the world would be a much better one, and life would be sweeter to the multitudes of unhappy people. As we stand before a mirror and note the reflection we may also see ourselves reflected in others, and, if wise, we will take steps to eradicate in ourselves and unpleasant things we see in our neighbor. If the neighbor possess narrowness of mind, a selfish disposition, embarrassing mannerisms, and many other regretable failures, that is more reason for us to cultivate and develop qualities of a more virtuous nature. THE LAUREOLA 85 SENIOR CLASS PLAY On the evenings of November 24-25, 1924, the Senior Class of German Twp. High School presented to the public a remarkable play. It was entitled “Nothing But The Truth.” Under the supervision of Professor Harold D. Taylor, the class brought forth a fine production. The play was written by James Montgomery. It was presented by the following cast: La France Whissen, Lloyd “Nutz” Wright’ Gerald Stillwell, Eleanor Brashear, Lvda Shank, Mary Louise Weller, Edith Stuy-vesant, Elsie Merck. John Ralston, Margaret Watkins, and David Hon-saker. 86 THE LAUREOLA OUR MICROSCOPE Our Microscope Staff has been busy this school term hunting up and publishing news. Every year we request help from other departments but some how they seem too busy to heed our cry, so we hustle around and pick out news wherever the pickings are good. We are sorry our Editor, Victor Angell, will not be with us another year. He has been a model efficient and indefatigable worker and we appreciate Victor’s efforts. We hope to have a new Microscope Staff elected for next year’s work before this school term is over. The new Editor will then have a chance to learn a lot of new things for our school paper during the summer vacation. THE LAUREOLA 89 CLASS NIGHT PROGRAM Tuesday, May 19, 1925.

Never has any learn worked harder individually and collectively with but one aim in view (the cup from Redstone) than did our German Township High School Football squad. The boys each played clean, honest, stiaight-forvvard football and we of German Township—fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers, friends, Supt., Princ., faculty and students are all very proud of them. The second game we defeated Point Marion on our own gridiron and the score was 32-0. RAH! RAH! RAH! IKE, fired with a determination to do that which had up to this time been considered imoossible, the warriors from German Townshio journeyed to Republic on Friday, October 10, and secured sweet revenge for the various defeats, which they had previously been dealt by Redstone High. Although out classed from the start. Redstone fought bitterly to stave off defeat, but were finabv humbled 7-0. A pretty end run made by “Ike” Ralston was the deciding factor in the game. Before this run Yanchus had missed a 40-vard drop kick bv a few inches, leaving Yanchus and the German Township grouo sore and afraid. It was the most exciting game ever witnessed in Fayette County. South Uniontown was defeated by G. T. H. S. on Friday. September 17, we received a scare of our lives when in the last few minutes of the erame a touchdown was made by Ike and left us with another victory. Yanchus got the drop kick leaving the score 7-0. A wonderful sensation when German Township triumnhed over East Bethlehem bovs at Fredericktown October 24. East Bethlehem boasted that our team was one of the heaviest high school teams in Western Pennsylvania. German Township loses to Mt. Pleasant 6-0. Tough luck! On Saturday afternoon. November 8, German Township clashed with the Brownsville boys. Nine minutes and forty-nine and three-fifths seconds of the last quarter was played and the score stood 6-0 in their favor when, the hall was but a few inches of the goal line, and one of the South Brownsville men made a fumble and Boyd, of German Township, fell on on the ball out side of the goal line and the referee called it a, touchdown according to the rules of football. The referee claced the ball on the three yard line for the extra point, (which we surely would have gotten) but Brownsville refused to resume play. So the referee called it a forfeit in German Township’s favor, and walked off the field, the score being 1-0. German Township added another victory to their record when we defeated Dunbar at home, Friday, November 14, the score being 19-6. Friday morning, December 19, dawned brightly for German Township, for that was the morning of the presentation of the cup given by the 94 THE LAUREOLA Penn State Alumni. No school felt more enthusiastic than did our school on that morning. Everybody was smiling, even Miss Kelley. We of German Township send out sincere thanks to the donor of Ihe cup. And we must give Redstone the credit due them for the wonderful sportsmanship they showed in bringing the cup over and presenting it to our captain, Victor Angell. Some of the best cheering that was ever heard in the school audi-otrium was exhibited by the student body. Three members of the Penn State were present and gave a speech in our honor which we appreciated very much. Redstone principal, coach and captain gave excellent addresses in which they told how loath they were to part with the coveted prize. 1 What does such a prize mean? Value. Importance. Feeling and spirit of Athletics. 2 Does not only mean Strength Large physical being, etc., etc., but also 3 Tact. Morals. Clean playing. 4 An appeal for athletic contestants to be just as shining, pure, noble, etc., as the Cup itself. 5 It also gives a word cf cheer and encouragement to next years players. THE LAUREOLA 97 Basketball Although not winning the highest laurels the German Township High School’s Basketball Team took its place among the leading teams of the county. The basketball season was opened with Connellsville on the Connellsville court. This proved to be a victory for G. T. H. S. and showed their Fighting Spirit. It also showed they were capable of winning games on foreign courts. With an entirely new team to develope at the opening of the season Coach Newcomer put a team on the court that took a leading place and kept it. Only to meet a turn in the road at the end. German Township was one of the five teams of Fayette County represented at the Waynesburg tournament. GAMES PLAYED Opponents G. T. H. S.

THE LAUREOLA 99 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM The Girls’ Basketball Ball team of German Township, has had a successful season, winning the majority of their games. A number of interclass games and a Latin and French Club game was also played in which the French proved the victors. The success of the team is to be credited to the fine coaching of Mr. Wheeler. The regulars on the team are: Etta Brooks, Elinor Brasear, Thelma Kendall, Elinor McKenna, Helen Bromber, Edna Wilson, Kathryn White, and Kathryn Smith. It was successfully managed by Elsie Merck. 100 THE LAUREOLA Baseball This sport is practically new in German Township High but this year it was decided that we should have a baseball team. This scheme exactly hit the spot for with such an able coach as Mr. Wheeler another winning team shall traverse German Township High School’s athletic halls of “FAME.” The school possessed plenty of baseball talent and when the call for candidates was announced by the coach, the boys responded with full force, each trying hard to win a place on the team. A classy nine was welded together and the team was ready for its campaign, after a good schedule had been booked by Victor .Angell. Up to date our squad have had but five chances to show their ability. The first game was with the Alpha Klub of Masontown. They must have known that they were going to be beaten and prayed for rain for at the end of the third inning it began to pour. But the score was high in our favor. Our second game was again with the Masontownians, the Harvey A. C. This game was fast and well played and with Williams pitching, interesting. The third game works the charm and—well--the charm worked the wrong way. Then, our boys went down before the Mapletown team with a 10-15 score. The Georges Township troop tried their luck but they were worse beaten than any of the other teams. Next, we went to Greene County to beat Carmichaels but as we could not agree on the hour of beginning we forfeited the game.

And then again Sidney Lanier says: “Music is Love in search of a word.” Well— if music improves according to the increase in the number of words Love finds, it must have a couple of dictionaries by now. We have the best music to be found. At the beginning of the term we had the misfortune of losing our able director, Professor H. D. Taylor, but as time went on we found a capable person in Professor Clarence Enterline. He has rehearsed and rerehearsed until they were—well, “practice makes perfect,” you know. They have performed their part well and we still believe that “Music hath charm.” William Powell, one of our orchestra members, won first honors in the Fayette County string instrument contest. As he has often rendered selections in assembly and society meetings we know he well deserved it. After listening to him we agreed with Shakespeare in that; A man that hath no music in himself, nor is moved by the concord of sweet sound, is fit treason, stratagems and spoils.
