If, in those days and years to come, this book may help to bridge the gap between them and today and brighten the memory of school days at old German Township High, made mellow by the hand of time, we shall know that our labor has not been in vain, and we shall be content.

The graduating class of German High, occupying the place of honor during the year 1928 A.D., is just as pleased to take advantage of this opportunity as any other class finishing the perscribed outline of work in the public schools. The class is just as proud as any other class of young people would be under similar circumstances. While we may not have achieved world renown in the four years or so, that we have spent under the shelter of this beloved school, we have at least laid the foundation for future activities and we look forward with keen anticipation to the time when we shall make our place in the world. This graduating class of 1928 is made up of 36 girls and 40 boys and to say that the female of the species have had their own way, would be putting it mildly. They have, in fact, dominated nearly all the activities of the class because they have outnumbered the boys. In literary and declamatory contents the girls have had a prominent part and we must give them credit for doing their work well, as they have carried off their full share of the honors. They have played the game of basketball as well as any opponents that have ventured to come out against them but they, for some reason or other have shunned the game of football and left the boys to uphold the honor of the school in this delightful outdoor sport. We are proud of the members of this class for their loyalty during the past year and previous years as well. They have had the right spirit in work and play, and when they get into the games of life they will be better prepared for the activities there, because they have been so well trained in our dear old German Township High. In writing a history I suppose one should go back to the beginning of things and not at the close but this is not a history to be handed down through the ages and the historian has taken advantage of the situation and begun with the present instead of the past. However, the past history of this class might be of interest to some. Going back four years, to its beginning in German Township High, there were one hundred and eighty four bright and willing boys and girls who entered its doors on September 1, 1924. It was in this year that we chose our motto, “Scientia nostra crescat,” meaning, “May our Knokledge Increase,” which we have followed throughout our high school course. We also chose blue and gold for our class colors in the Freshman year. Our Sophomore year began with an enrollment of one hundred and fifteen members. There were few activities during this year. 31 Our actual activities began in our Junior year when we presented our Class Play. This was to help finance the “Laureola,” the High School annual, published by the Junoir Class. With an enrollment of seventy-eight our Senior Class began its last year in German Township High. One of our first important events for this year was the election of officers. Those chosen were as follows: Predisent, Edward Yanchus; Vice President, Harry Megalotti; Secretary, Cecilia McArdle; Treasurer, Carmen Natale; Historian, Stanford Sterling; Poet, Sidie Bononi; Marshall, Baldi Megalizzi. Next we presented the Senior Class play entitled, “His Uncle’s Niece,” which was a success. The Senior Ball was held on April 20. This affair proved a great success. The final examination was held on May third and fourth, after which came the Senior vacation. Then followed the annual Commencement, which was held Thursday, May 17th. So passed the years in joy and sorrow, in sunshine and rain. We are proud of our class and see great things for the members in the years to come. We have laid only the foundaion for future years but we feel that we have a substantial beginning and that as time goes on we will be able to build something worth while. 32 SENIOR ROASTS Charles Bryan_________________________________Hot air from Cameltown Sidie Bononi__________________________________Our Latin Club President Amelia Blasotti______________________________________Stick of Dynamite Elmer Beiry___________________________________________Likes Chemistry William Cuileton_______________________________________Class Skipper Joseph Casurole ________________________________________________Shrimp Nelson Coffman, Mary F.

There were 181 Freshmen in this group. Soon alter cur “verdant inception” a meeting was held for the purpose of electing class officers and deciding what our colors and motto should be. For cur colors we selected green and white; for our motto we adopted “Striving for knowledge.” Our Sophomore year beginning September 6, 1927, was similar in respect to historical events as that of the previous year. A few, however, for various reasons did not return to take the second year’s work . Our Junior year started off with a hustle and a bustle. Almost immediately our class organized by choosing the following as officers: Harry Zimmerman, president; George Lilley, vice president; Betty Sangston, secretary; George Reitz, treasurer; John Solomon, historian; Dorothy Ster-butzel, poet; Raymond Eddy, marshall. Soon after this election another meeting was called for the purpose cf selecting a staff to publish the Laureola, our school annual. Those who were elected are as follows: Margaret Morris, Editor-inChief; Dorothy Janoff, Assistant Editor; George Reitz, Business Manager; Margaret Raho, Assistant Manager; Bessie Bierbower, Literary Editor; Helen Fetcho, Assistant Literary Editor; Dorothy Sterbutzel, Statistical Editor; Lawrence Doorley, Assistant Statistical Editor; Art Editors: Mildred Mallory, Anthony ITanna and William Venturini; Staff Artists: May Martin, Francis Maher, William Walters, John Hannah, and Mike Krevinki; Photographers: Betty Sangston, Rebecca Devan, and Mary Millward; Joke Editors: Ruth Rupert, Dorothy Lewis, and John Solomon; Athletic Editors: Delmas Bise, Margaret Titus, and Harvey Zimmerman. Turning to distinction, many members of our class have displayed remarkable traits in different social activities. On the gridiron, Delmas Bise, Vincent Owens, Louis Rozzi, George McCulla, and Joseph Yanos are tuostanding figures; on the basketball floor. Delmas Bise and Vincent Owens stood foremost in the fray; in musical accomplishments, Marian McCann, Marie Perego, and Betty Sangston loomed in the limelight. In concluding this history the writer, in behalf of the Junior Class, extends his sincerest thanks to all those who have helped the Juniors cope with their difficulties. 64 —John Solomon. 65 SOPHOMORE CLASS g’ltjtljimtnrp OIlasH COLORS Green and White FLOWER: White Carnation MOTTO: Corpe Diem YELL Rickety!

The best answers that I can give to these questions is: It prepares the young- man and woman to fulfill the higher positons in the business world. There is a large number of boys and girls who are financially unable to take courses leading to college work, and are therefore obliged to enter into the business world. This cannot be done without first knowing something about business. The Commercial Department of German Township High School is a very good place to obtain this knowledge. The Commercial course is a very interesting course. One of the highest and best positions that can be secured in the Commercial course is an Accountant. To become an accountant requires specialized training aquivalent to any college education and one must pass an examination be fore the student is entitled to the destination of “Certified Public Accountant,” which is the highest ring of the ladder of bookkeeping, and also a very paying position. Turning to social functions, many of the Commercial students take part in the activities of our school such as: football, basketball, and track. Among other things that have been carried on by the Commercial Department is the publishing of the Microscope, the monthly paper which represents the school. It is entirely edited by the Commercial Department, and requires no small amount of work, and is also a great responsibility. One of the coveted desires of each Commercial student, is to enter one or more of the Commercial Contests. Of each subject taken, three students are selected by the teacher to represent the school. There they compete with other schools in Fayette County. Those students who are fortunate enough to win a place are given the privilege of going to Indiana. In conclusion, may the Commercial students carry on their various activities with as much success as they have been doing in the past years. Dorothy Janoff.

Riffle When the illustrious Lafayette made his famous visit to the county named in his honor he set foot on soil that has from the beginning’ of American history had much to do with national success both from the political and economic aspect. While Fayette was but the hunting grounds for the surrounding tribes of Indians, the main Cherokee Trail from the South to Canada ran squarely across the territory and along this very trail itself occurred some of the stirring events of early history. The rising star of the youthful Washington began its ascendancy here and Fort Necessity will remain a national shrine as long as the country exists and the name of Washington is remembered. Here the trails of civilization were blazed by such men as Colonel Cresap and the friendly old Nemacolin who not only prepared the way for the armies of Washington and Braddock but opened the way for the never-ending stream of progress that ends with the Pacific. Today thousands of automobiles bearing the restless tourists stop at the grave of General Braddock, the spot of Fort Necessity, the camp of Dunbar where the Soldier’s Orphans Home was located so many years, the place of Jumonville’s death, or perhaps journey aside to the home of the great financier and statesman, Albert Gallatin, where mid stately trees these wanderers look with admiration at the great colonial home or stop to shed a tear at the grave of the wife that pined away in the forest primeval. Every school boy thrills at the name of such men as Christopher Gist and Fayette Couny points with pride to the fact that the Gist plantation was located here. At the Gist homestead the scattered remnants of Braddock’s ill-fated army gathered together after the hasty retreat and not far from this place General Braddock breathed his last. Today his 81 resting place is marked by a fine stone set in the midst of five towering pines that stand like sentinels about the hallowed spot as if to ward off the ghosts of murderous redskins who caused his death. Today the spot of the old Hangard or storehouse at the mouth of Redstone is known as Brownsville. This busy town boasts of the first iron bridge in America. The little bridge crosses the mouth of Dunlap’s Creek. Here too was built the first steamboat to make the complete trip to the mouth of the Mississippi and return. The Hangard, which was a storehouse for the pioneer armies, was burned by the French on their return after the capture of Fort Necessity. Fort Burd at Redstone, Pearse’s Fort on the Catawba Trail. Swearingen’s Fort in Springhill, Lucas Fort, McCoy’s Fort, and Ashcraft’s Fort were all settlers’ forts located in Fayette County. These were all built as places of refuge and protection when the wily redskin made his expeditions through the region of Fayette. At Perryopolis, which was the center of 1600 acres of land bought by George Washington in Fayette County, is the remains of an old grist mill either erected by Washington or at his request. A few miles above Masontown on the banks of the Monongahela is the little village of New Geneva where Albert Gallatin had his home after the Revolutionary times. Originally called Wilson’s Port, the name was changed by Gallatin to New Geneva, after Geneva, Switzerland, his birthplace. Lafayette was entertained here at the home of Gallatin, a beautiful estate called Friendship Hill. At New Geneva was founded the earliest glass works in 1796 and records also reveal the fact that Gallatin shared in the operation of a gun factory at the same place. At Fairchance was built the Old Fairfield Furnace in 1791, which was among the earliest of the iron industry in this county. Remains of a number of these furnaces can still be seen in Fayette County. However, the discovery of ore of better grade and in larger quantities in other parts of the country put an early end to the iron industry in this section. Its greatest contribution was probably in the experimental use of coke in iron making. The first meeting house for Christian worship erected west of the mountains was erected in Fayette County and the descendents of those pioneer Dutch Calvinists still worship on the same spot. This is near the town of Masontown and frequently groups of travelers, returned to visit the old homesteads, may be seen wandering about among the old gravestones searching for the names of their forbears. Fayette County is rich in legendary history and Dulaney’s Cave and the White Rocks have their part in the making of this now busy section of Pennsylvania, while the Robbers Den on the banks of the Monongahela has its fascination for the school boy that can not be equalled by the wildest tale of the West. The mystery is that Fayette County with its history of national significance, its local tales, its list of famous men who figured in the history of state and nation, and its,stories of Indian kidnappings and murders, has not been written up in the romances that come from the pens of great authors. 83 The New Qurley Precise Transit 86 Plane Surveying in G. T. H. S. By Calvin Fleming “A thing of beauty is a joy forever; its loveliness increases.” Our new transit is not only a thing of beauty, but of utility also, and of rare precision. It enables us to maintain the same degree of accuracy in practical measurements as we have long insisted upon in the calculations. It is obvious that a result can be no more accuiate than the first measu.ements, however perfect the computing may have been. This instrument, theie-fore, may be said to stand as a monument of accuracy and prec sion in German Township High School and as such it demands the same virtues in those who would learn to operate it. The idea of getting such an instrument for the High School, although not a new one, received a sudden impulse at the first of the present semester. Plans and specifications for making a model transit out of wood came to the attention of the Trigonometry students. They were enthusiastic from the start. They lost no time in making blue prints of the drawing after which they started the shop work. Under the direction of Mr. Shuss a fine working model was produced by the boys in the shop. But in the mean time the movement to secure for the school a real surveyor’s transit had made rapid progress. Through the efforts of Mr. Matson and Superintendent Riffle together with the good offices of the Board of Education a fine Gurley transit was purchased. It arrived before the wooden model was quite finished. Needless to say the model transit was completely eclipsed by an instrument Sixty times more accurate. But it had served its place nobly as the forerunner of the precise instrument. The wooden model is now to be seen among the archives of the school—affestionately called “the theodolite.” From the host of American instrument makers the VV. L. E. Gurley Company was selected for their well-established reputation for the utmost in fine instrument making and for their progressiveness in using all the latest improvements. The Gurley Company is also to be commended for the liberal discount they allowed the school. The United States Geological Survey has been especially helpful to the new surveying class. From them the class received a chart showing the declination of the magnetic needle, local maps showing the topographical features of this district, and descriptions of government triangulation points in this vicinity. Many of the latter points have been visited by the class. Perhaps the most exciting was the trip up the mountain to one at Dunbar’s Camp. But the possibilities of a fine transit are not confined entirely to surveying. In an elementary way also, some astronomical data can be obtained. For instance, by sighting on the north star, it is possible to lay down a true north and south line, much more accurate than the compass would give. Moreover, the famous craters of the moon are plainly visible through the telescope on the transit. The diameter of the moon was measured with 87 our transit and found to be one half degrees, or thirty minutes, which checks exactly with the figures astronomers give. But above all, it is the vocational aspect of the case which prompted the purchase of the transit at this time. Its results are now made available to every student studying mathematics. For the boy whose schooling stops with the high school, a rudimentary knowledge of surveying will stand him in good stead if he enters mining or construction work. Or for the boy who goes on to college and takes up one of the myriad branches of engineering, a knowledge of the surveyor’s transit will place him head and shoulders above the other students from the very start. 88 8S “His Uncle s Niece’ His Uncle’s Niece, a farce in three acts, written by Raymond Sargent, was given by the Senior Class December 15th and 16th, 1927. The plot of this hilarious farce centered around a letter received by Francis Felton from Uncle Simon of Happy Valley Junction, who has always supposed Francis to be of the opposite sex. The letter announced that the Uncle had selected a husband for his niece and they are both on their way to New York to make final arrangements for the wedding. In desperation Francis assumes a female character’s role in order to carry out a provision whereby he is to receive a million dollars bequest from his Uncle.

On the 26th and 27th of April the Junior Class, under the direction of Miss Vail, staged a three-act farce comedy entitled “Deal ’Em Over.” This play made a “great hit.” Things happened with such rapidity that the audience was kept on the qui vive, with one laugh piled on another to a tornado of howls of delight.

The purpose is to create an interest in Literary and Musical Activities that will parallel the interest now manifest in High School Athletics; to give that large group of students in every high school mental power that will enable them when in life’s school to put across their message effectively, and to award the contestants for their efforts in bringing these activities to a high and fully recogonized plane. On March 10, at South Union High School, our contestant, Helen Caruso, delivered a splendid oration on “The Hope of the Future.” Miss Caruso’s forceful declamatory power was shown in her masterly qualities -of distinctness. On March 12, at Point Marion High School, Edith Hirsch won first place in the reading contest. Her selection was Madam Prudence. This winning carried with it the award of the Owen R. Brownfield Cup for the High School and a scholarship for the contestant. In her rendition Miss Hirsch displayed exceptional skill in the elocutionary technique. We must not forget that this is the second time the Owen R. Brownfield Cup has been won for German Township High School. Miss Florence Roycroft, in 1923 won it with her masterful reading “Zingarella the Gypsy Flower Girl.” At Uniontown on March 15, Alice Beal very effectively rendered the vocal selections, “Bob White,” and as a second number “Greetings.” Her accompanist was Edith Hirsch. On March 27, Marian McCann represented German Township High School in the piano contest held at Dunbar. The numbers so ably produced were Serenade by Victor Herbert, and Erl King by Schubert Liszt. The Fayette County Tnter High School Contests occur every year. Those who are anticipating to take part next year should begin preparation now. Don’t wait until two weeks before the Contest. You can’t expect to get any more out of a thing than you put into it. Get Busy. 9 2 Southall Hello folks, this is football Review speaking. Thought I was through for the year, didn’t you? Not though.

We thank you all for every support you may have given us and as a closing remark may we remind you that we expect a red-hot, tip-top team next year. GLAD YOU ARE BACK OF US By-By. 94 S6 Itaslu'thall Among the Great American Winter Sports, basketball has taken the lead. Originated in 1892 by Dr. James Wainsmith of Springfield, Massachusetts. It has gradually developed until the game holds its place between football and baseball, and is being so well played that basketball is becoming as attractive as either of these sports. Basketball is a muscular exercise of a recreative type, which fills great need in modern life. It tends to develop the sound heart, a strong body, clearn mind, and high ideals of life. Through the wise leadership of teachers, coaches and directors these results are being accomplished in a large measure. Basketball makes its greatest appeal to the youth between twelve and twenty-five years. Scoring by one side and then the other brings out the keenest kind of competition. The game is played between two teams, both of which are determined to win. Some teams and schools get the idea that to win is all there is to the game, and that defeat is a disgrace. Under such conditions teams are led to do anything to win. But these conditions are basketball at its Worst. Today we find players, teachers, students all working together to maintain clean play, self-respect and honor. 96 The game today is developing players who are to go out into the nation and fight the games of life clean and honorable. Players are taught an honorable victory or none. Some one has said, that the basketball hall is the great laboratory where the early experiments are worked as to how to play the game and not lose. For when the greater scorer comes, To write against your name, He writes not that you won or lost, But how you played the game. German Township has had a fair season in basketball. Our boys won fifteen games and lost nine. We will lose Semsey, Haines, Smith Culleton and Magerko this year by graduation. Semsey was the high scorer, followed by Captain Smith, Haines, P ise. Owens, Fedlock and Lil-ley.

Thirteen victories were registered and only twice was the team on the short end of the score; once, in their first game where lack of practice and a too pronounced tendency to foul worked havoc with the aggregation, and again, as a result of very inclement weather they were not able to master their full strength at Republic. A total of 433 points were amassed as opposed to 155 of their opponents. The center positions were ably filled by Captain Reckner and by Dobberstein, assisted by Miles, a senior, and Christopher. The team was especially well fortified with guards, having Perego, Titus, and Fetcho, all of whom will return next year. Hewitt, Rider,and Betty Sangston also filled in when necessary. The team work and goal shooting of the forwards, Moore and Bogovich, were nothing short of remarkable, 'the latter set a mark for Fayette County girls to shoot at when she registered 150 field goals and 45 fouls from 80 freely thrown, a grand total of 345 points. Lilley and Virginia Sangston showed exceptional ability as forwards, and much will be expected of them next year. Although the team loses through graduation Captain Reckner, Moore, and Miles, their places will be ably filled by the players who remain, and everything points to another championship team next year. 98 Alrnmti 1909 Bemies, Carl Dearth, Marguerite (Campbell), Uniontown, Pa.
