We have not been able to publish the usual quarterly Jack O'Lantern because of adverse com- munity conditions, but We have succeeded in bringing together a com- pilation of material, retaining some features of the old Jack O'Lantern and adding other features of the usual year-book type, and this We present to our patrons and friends the first annual ever published by the Houtzdale High School. VVe confidently believe that they will like it and that they will thus justify our publication of it. We feel that future classes can publish a bigger and better annual and We Wish them success. We hope they will always retain the name -Jack O'Lantern. 7 THE JACK O' LANTERN Evhimtinu Nimi El. Sillimzm.

THE JACK O' LANTERN S emen sf EDETORS1 n 2 GETTING AN EDUCATION It is the old story heard so many times, but never worn out. Educa- tion is beginning to take its proper place in the world, but even today too many people miss the true aim and value of education. Many High School pupils are in school merely to have a good time. They are a hindrance to those who really are desirous of getting an education. Many of these go on to college with no higher motive. They have gotten into the habit of fooling away time and slipping through on the work of others. Habit triumphs and their four years in college are exact duplicates of their High School life. Is it any wonder that many people criticise High School and College bred men? A good many young people go to college for the good times they can have, or expect to have. Some go just to be able to say, I am a COLLEGE GRADUATE. Many who are rich, go merely to pass the time. It is well to have a college education, but if not used in the right way it is injurious. Only a small percentage of those who graduate ever make a success of life. So, many business men complain about the failure of college graduates to make good. How many of the prominent figures and valedictorians do we hear of in later life? Too many rely on these early successes, which fail to carry them safely through the sea of life. The person who easily wins success usually weakens as some point in later life. Some years ago a professor of 'philosophy in a certain college was talking with a number of young men who had been in his class while in college. The appointment of one of their classmates who had just been appointed to the presidency of a large corporation, was refer- red to by one of the young men in this manner, Pretty fine honor for so young a man, don't you think? Yes, replied the professor, but I'm afraid a little too easy an honor for him. Don't you think he can hold it down, said the other in anxious haste? I have no doubt about that. I'm afraid he will hold it down, and be content to do so. I don't like to see things come so easily for young a man. I'd rather have him weather for some ten years more. He's capable of bigger things than this. One needs to be toughened by hardships, some times, before they are brought into the land of luxury. Early successes are dangerous. The man that gets easy success usually weakens at some point. Don't be in a hurry to conquer the world. Don't be afraid to weather and season a little. Then when the strain comes you won't warp and break. Have you ever climbed to the top of-a mountain? If so, you will agree with me, that the harder it is to gain the top, the more joy one . 'Y ' I T , - Tim Jkcil o 15435-r1:i3N, Q experiences on reaching the goal. Things easily attained are not as sweet as those for which we have to labor hard. This can be applied to the getting of an education. ' The greatest common fault of young people in their work of secur- ing an education, is thoughtlessness. A teacher in a western college proved this to be true, by a few simple tests. He left a book lying on the floor Where every student saw it as he entered the class room. Seven students stepped over th book. Th eighth kicked it a little further along the aisle. Four stepped on it, and did not even see it. The twentieth student picked it up and placed it on the teacher's table. He stated that only one boy out of a hundred was usually thoughtful enough to see and do the necessary thing. After an accident in the kitchen, in the factory, or with an automobile, the common excuse is, I didn't think. How many of us are borrowers? I do not mean of money, but of a more valuable thing, knowledge. We often do it unconsciously, but the habit grows until it becomes so strong we cannot break it. You know what happens to a perpetual borrower of money. Disaster also faces one who is always borrowing from others in getting an education. The pupil who is a borrower, never tries to do anything for himself, but is always asking help or copying the work of others. He may get by in his classes, but is he playing fair? He never knows the thrill which comes from mastering a diflicult problem or a dry subject. Let us then cease borrowing and try standing on our own feet both in school and life. We could say much concerning education, but as Ruskin says, The entire object of true education, is to make people not merely do the right thing, but enjoy the right thing - not 'merely industrious, but to love industry - not merely learned, but, to love knowledge - not merely pure, but to love purity - not merely just, but to hunger and thirst after justice. V. G. W. '25 H. H. S. LEARNING Learning passes for wisdom among those who want bo'th. Learn- ing is wealth to the poor, an honor to the rich, an aid to the young, and a support and comfort to the aged. Learning is like mercury, one of the most powerful and excellent things in the world in skillful hands, in unskillful, the most mischiev- ous. Wear your lea.rning, like your watch, in a private pocket. Do not pull it out merely to show that you have one. If asked what time it is, tell itg but do not proclaim it hourly and unasked, like the watchman. There are three classes of people in the world. The first learn from their own experiences - these are wise, the second learn from the experience of others-f-these are the happy, the third neither learn from g g g g THE JACK of LANTERN I their own experience nor the experience of others - these are fools. .I 'Learning, if rightly applied, makes a young man thinking, attent- ive, industrious, confident, and wary, and an old man cheerful and use- ful. It is an ornament in prosperity, a refuge in adversity, and enter- tainment at all times, it cheers in solitude, and gives moderation and wisdom in all circumstances. He who always seeks more light the more he finds, and finds more the more he seeks, is one of the few happy mortals who take and give in every point of time. The tide and ebb of giving and receiving is the sum of human happiness, which he alone enjoys who always wishes to acquire new knowledge, and always finds it. V. G. W. '25 H.a-H. S. SPRINGTIME Springtime, is very familiar to all of us. It is the time when everything in nature starts anew. We love springtime as it brings beauty and warmth to the world after the chill of winter. The blossoms give forth their fragrance, and the birds build their homes. Without springtime we would have no harvest. The beauties we see in nature would be absent. Can you really picture the world without spring- time. Is there not a springtime in life also? The youth in the world represent the springtime of life. How many times we Waste the spring- time l When the golden summer comes we realize too late our mistakes. and the harvest fails to appear. The beauties of springtime are still in the hearts and souls of the pupils of Houtzdale High School. Let us use the springtime of our lives that the bounty may increase. Let us go out into life with the determination th at the springtime shall not pass unheeded. V. G. W. '25 H. H. S. HPEPH f - What a little wor-:ll What a powerful word! lt is slang perhaps but it embodies the fundamentals of success, whether in school or out in the world. VVhat can we accomplish without it? Very little. VVhat can we do with it? XVe can conquer our little worlds and gain the real Heart's Desire.. Q - It implies manylthings but first and foremost it carries the implica- tion of real, all-absorbing interest in everything in which we are engag- ed. It wishes to accomplish more than that. It seeks to put its inter- ests on a working basis, make them effective, and bring about the desir- ed result. A student has this genuine, all-wool-and-a-yard-wide pep, is never content with half-hearted recitations, half way measures in pre- paring an assignment. He is never content to sit on the opposite side of the Gym, and watch his comrades on the other side trying to cheer HIS team. He is not satisfied to take a back seat, and watch with half- 7A THE JACK 0' HANTIERN W hearted interest the effects of his classmates to put on a drive, whether for membership in the Athletic Association, or for subscriptions for the School Paper. He is in the fight. His school's interests are his own. He respects the right and privileges of his classmates. He is alive. He is vital He accomplishes what he sets out to do. Do you have this Pep ? If not, why not? H. H. S. ' HOW ABOUT IT? Is the spirit of H. H. S. what it has been in years gone by? Is the cooperation of the student body equal to that of the other schools of which we hear such glowing reports? We have been taught from the time we entered the H. H. S. that we should forget self in doing our little bit for the school. We may say that the only fellow that can show his loyalty is the one who makes the varsity basket ball team or plays base ball or perhaps runs for the school in a track meet. However this is not so. Authors at diff- erent times in the history of Literature have spoken words to the effect that the fellow who keeps plugging along, doing his best at all times. not riding when he should be pushing is the fellow who shows the right spirit. ln every school there seems to be that element that, knows things are going to the dogs so what it the use of worrying ones head about it Is the student body of H. H.S. this kind? The faculty has been very poorly supported in the various school activitiesby the students throughout the year. For some reason, no one wishes to accept responsibility. When they are asked to assist in some undertaking they seem to think that some one who has a little less to do should be asked. Every one would rather that someone else should do the work. ' f' It is very easy to point out faults in a school. Let us boost for r change. The words of Rudyard Kipling are a very good motto for us to apply in all H. S. activities. It is not the work of the soldier, ' Or the army as a whole, But the everlasting team work Of every bloomin' soul. E. T. P. '25 ...g...

Those who know her know her smile and find the knowing quite worth while. Did you ever see Mary K. without a smile? Did you ever know her to be real- ly angry? The answer is no. Although Mary never warmed her teachers' heart by excessive scholarship, her oven, sunny dis- position and capacity for suggesting good times has endeared her to us all. Given a mixture of good-looks, good nature, and style, you are sure to have popularity, and Mary K. possesses all the requirements. HOWARD JONES: Captain of Baseball Team 145, Year. This young man was quiet and self- contained-too old for his years by far. It is said that, Still waters run deep. If so, Howard is guilty of infathomablc depths. Pap, as he is called, comes from Brisbin. Although he may seem quiet and reserved to those who do not know him, yet he has won the admiration of all dur- ing the year he has been with us. FRANCIS RODGERS: - - President of Literary Society 14.5, Year. Baseball 145, Year. Francis has an infinite capacity for fun and frolicf' He is often the author of many funny happenings in class, but he is always so quiet that he is not known to have done anything. As to his serious at- titudes, he has been an efficient President of the Literary Society for the past year, and has shown a real interest in helping tr make it the success it 'hasi'been. This mix- ture of fun.-and ability, we are sure will make for success. NA10-.. 'l'lil'l JACK U' l,.XN'l'liliX CLARK COULD : Treasurer of Athletic Association C45 Year. Varsity Basketball 433, 141, Year. Laughter and pleasure, long were they mine. Do we hear a rattle and a bang? Clark has arrived from Brisbin in the Franklin. Clark has many sides to his na- ture. At one time he is the hard and con- sistent iighter on the Basketball Team. .At another time he is winning the hearts of the Philipsburg Maidens. He surely has the methods that win in both instances. With his willingness to try anything once, and his droll humor, he is a Welcome mem- ber of any group. MARGARET POLLOCK: Offices held none. A plodding -diligence brings us soon- er to our ends than a fluttering way of ad- vancing by start, -L. Estrange. Margaret is the Little Girl of our class, but when the time for recitation comes she discards the Little Gorl, and becomes the Student. Study, study and then some. This expresses Margaret, but with it all she displays a sunny disposition, and a capacity for quiet fun that makes her a valued friend and a pleasant class- mate. l EDIVIUND POLLOCK: Manager of the Boys Basketball Team 143, Year. I strove With none for none was worth my strife. In the class room he is quiet and stud- ious. Ned as he is called, has contribut- ed his services whole heartedly to the school as manager of Basketball. He is always willing and ready to give a helping hand. Recently Ned has shown a parti- cular afiinity for the Sophomore room. Why is it Ned ? .A11.. THE JACK 0' LANTlLl1N RUTH WILLIAMS: Treasurer of the Literary Society C4J, Year. Where there is sport and activity, there is her heart also. One thing Ruthie is permitted to do and that is Root! And if some of the others could root as she can, in proportion to' size, what a cheering squad Houtzdale High Would have! No she is not all noise by any means. Whei'ever a helping hand is ,needed in any activity, Ruth is sure to be found. She is a good student also, although she does not believe in burdening herself with all the electives offered. We doubt Whether she would have grieved much if Cicero had committed suicide before his manuscripts had been completed. Her classmates expect her to make her presence felt at Dickinson Seminary and their good wishes attend her. ELLIS, HOFFMAN: Secretary of the Literary Society C45 Year. Class Treasurer CU, QZJ, 135, 141, Year. Song Leader 143, Year. Cheer Leader 425, Year. Varsity Basketball 133, Year. Student Monitor 143, Year. I would both sing thy praise and praise thy singing. Ellis is an ever cheerful and busy mein- ber of the Senior Class. Judging from accounts of her outside studies she Will be an excellent secretary or ofiice Worker. Judging from other reports she may be looking to a different future. Ellis has the faculty of being late but that is because she leads a very busy life. She has the ability to argue Without being disagreeable, and tah is a fine art. Combining that with her other qualities, she is a jolly, good natured and lovable friend to all. -12..

You could hardly expect anyone to xviite Bert's biography and refrain from kidding him for the trick he played on us last year. But what of it? He's happy, she's happyg and We're all happy to have Bert back with us to finish the course. -Al- though I am sure that many of the girls would have preferred him back Without any matrimonial entanglements. For he is not only good-looking. He is handsome! And better yet with him being hand- some is doing handsomely, for hs is a star athlete and a sincere, steady, and res- ponsible student. Our best Wishes will al- ways be with him. FINLEY SAUPP Chairman of the Home Room Organi- zation 145, Year. Captain of the Basketball Team 145, Year.

Be silent and safeg silence never be- trays you. Catherine is one of the quiet members of our class, but when a dispute arises she maintains her views even to the point of argument, and her ideas are generally founded upon common sense. She takes an active interest in the duties assigned lfer, and does her best to fulfill them faith- fully. She has all the qualifications of an eflifficient teacher, and as it is Whispered that is to be her future vocation We Wish ltcr success in her chosen work. CLOYD BROBERG Otlices held none. Smile and the NVorld smiles with you. The smiling face of this lad from Ramey soon Won a place for itself in the hearts of his classmates of one year's stand- ing. If Cloyd had been with us all the time we fear that we would not have space enough to describe all his activities for he is a popular, and an active chap. 'We do not see, however, why his Overland should serve as a Sophomore taxi, while Senior girls vvalk to school. Cloyd is a good musican and so we feel sure that he can endure the monotony of an engineer's life. ...1 5M THE JACK Oi LANTERN iei roiur fl ,a X 5. 5' ,L,w,i-...,.... One evening, while tuning the crystal on my radio set to see how the weather was in Mars, I suddenly caught station H. H. S., which was just introducing their Freshman class of 1921-22. I thought my ears were deceiving me when I heard Mr. L. C. Smith being introduced as the Supervising Principal, with Mr. V. . Silliman acting as his assistant of the said station. After recovering from my shock, I soon learned that the Freshman Class consisted of twenty members. The next to be introduced was the class president - Ruth Gladden. The class went along smoothly until it lost one of its members - Isabell Galvin, who preferred the career of a nurse to that of a High School pupil. The next was the broadcasting of the events that happened during the Sophmore year of 1922-23. What! I I! Could it be possible? Ruth Benovitz had left school, to embark on the sea of matrimony with Fred Oldham. That wasn't the only surprise, Ruth Gladden, our famous class president, was moving to New Brighton. Our class seem- ed to be diminishing instead of increasing. ' The next announcement was that Lillian Erickson had taken up the profession of typist in Williamsport. What next was going to happen? VVere more going to stop school? Of course I wasn't deceived, another had dropped out. Paul Gordon also dropped out preferring the profession of a salesman rather to that of a good school boy. But I was not to hear of losses alone, a strange name is being mentioned, - Margaret Pollock, a very quiet little girl from Hastings came to fill one of the places. I then heard a class meeting being called to elect a class president in Ruth Gladden's place. The meeting was over and Giles Bonner was to hold the office. Again there came a buzz thru the phone and the next news that startled me was - The Sophmores fthe class that was considered so slowl had sold tags and added one hundred and thirty dollars to the Athletic Association's fund. Hurrah for the Sophmores! Hark! VVhat was that? Many things were happening. The new school was built. What a relief that was to me. For I knew con- ditions that existed in the old building. Other improvements came - Another person was added to the faculty of the H. H. S. As a conse- quence of which the class of '25 is happy to claim friendship with Mrs. J. W. Wisner. --15.. -Hifi www W hu- THQ JACK O' LANTERN I was just falling off into a doze when I heard something about the portals of Houtzdale High School being swung open for the first term inn the new building, in September 1923, to willing students for the new erm. l Here, I learned, the activities of the Junior Class began. WWhat! More new pupils! Clark Gould and Lee Roach both came from Brisbin High School to finish their High School career here. I now knew that altho we were losing students our membership was still leading among the other classes. Yes, the announcer was saying that all but one of last year's class was back. Who could it be? This was getting too much for me. My head seemed to be all in a whirl at the strange news I was hearing. Buzz! Buzz! Would I never hear the news! Then it came: Sophia Dugan, the tiny girl who was certainly a little spit-fire, had gone to the profession of a typist. Another buzz came thru the phone and I heard them saying some- thing about Athletics. The name! I knew it! I was sure. Certainly it was Bert Webb's, who was upholding the name of the Junior Class with his wonderful work on our team. The next was the broadcasting of the different class meetings of the Junior class. Another war was on. But from all results, everyone seemed to come out on top. The next announcement was indeed a great surprise. A radio marriage had taken place. Who was it? No, I had heard aright, Eileene George and Bert Webb had been married by radio. I had hardly recovered from the shock of the marriage when I found myself listening to someone They have arrived. Now wha' lf ad arrived? Yes, it must be the class rings. For they said they were ordered in the last announcement. Suddenly I heard very dignified voices talking over the changes that had been in the school. Mr. Vian B. Silliman was now taking place of Mr. Smith as Supervising Principal, Mr. L. E. Howe as his Assistant and Miss Emma Weber filling the place of Mrs. Jackson VVisner nee Sadie McKenzie. Again I heard the name HOUTZDALE HIGH SCHOOL being broadcasted. They were saying that a few of the members of the Senior Class had failed to respond to th roll call. Michael Craig, who had been elected Editor-in-Chief of the Jack O'Lantern had moved to Pittsburgh. He is not forgotten, for like all of Houtzdalers his memory still exists in the hearts of his class mates and friends he made while here. It was a pleasure to hear these kind words from the school. Yes, the very studious girl in the Senior class, who had been elected Assistant Editor took up the work ofthe Editor-in-Chief. What was her name? Of course it must be Violet Williams. The next announcement was that there were three new members entering the Senior class - Cloyd Broberg - the happy-go-lucky boy from -.. 1 7--. THE JACK O, LANTERN Ramey, Howard Jones - the tall boy from Brisbin, and Edmund Pollock - the studious boy from Dickenson Seminary. The next announcement was the election of a basket ball captain. Who would tave the place of the last year's captain? Then I heard the shooting of Yeh! Captain! Yeh! Saupp! Yeh! 'Yehl Captain Saupp! I was then greatly pleased for I knew Fid would make a tinecaptain I wondered what next would be announced to surprise me. I still heard them talking of the Senior class. The Class colors had been selected after much debate. Green and White were the colors selected also they had ordered the penants. As it was growing late, I was just getting ready to tune out when I heard the date of Commencement of the 1925 Senior Class being ar- ranged. This was a great surprise as it only seemed like yesterday that the 1925 class had entered as Freshmen, very much afraid of the upper class menf?J Espcially Cath. HughesQ?J Suddenly the type of program changed. I was listening to a musical comedy being broadcasted from the Houtzdale 'Opera House - entitled, Springtime. Most every Senior took a part and helped to make it a success. Although I could not see it with my own eyes, I could see it with my mind. Such singing I had never heard before. I certainly see fame that will follow them where ever they go. Then I heard Mr. Silliman saying:- This it station HHS signing off. We have had an unusual treat in hearing the doings of the class of 1925 of the Houtzdale High School. I think that no class other than the class of 1925 could have rendered such a delightful program Thank you and good night. CATHERINE C. '25 gH. H. S. CLASS PRJOPHECY Last week four Seniors and I went to a soothsayer, to have her gaze into her crystal and foretell the future of the class of 1925. We were about to tell her the names of the pupils in the class when she said Their names are revealed to me. She gazed intently into the ball' and then began to speak. I see a large brick building. It looks to me like a college. There seems to be a man and a woman. The man is Francis Rodgers and the woman is Catherine Chaplin. Mr. Rodgers is the French teacher and Miss Chaplin the physical directress. Mr. Rodgers is married to a French girl whom he met in Paris, while studying advanced French in that city. Catherine seems to be wearing a large diamond ring on the third finger of her left hand. I see a smoky city - Pittsburgh. Finley Saupp seems to be in this city. I see him in a large Farmer's Bank. He seems to be an im- portant personage in the bank. I see him sitting before a large desk. ....18.. THQ JACK O' LANTERN There is another occupant of the room. She is busily engaged operating a typewriter. It is Ellice Hoffman. She is Finley's private' secretary. There is a ring on the finger of her left hand. It seems to me that another ring will be there soon. ' I see much land. A young man in an abbreviated suit, running. Finally there are a lot of faces. He arrives at the grandstand. He is winner of the cross country race - It is Howard Jones. v I see a street corner. Someone is playing a street organ. There is a girl singing. It is Violet Williams. She has joined the Salvation rmy. 'fl see many cars of every kind and description. There is a tall man just crawling out from under one. It is Clark Gould, who is a mechanic in Gulbranson's garage. I see a man who looks very tired and distressed. He has been walking a long way, and seems to be touring Europe on foot. It is Ned Pollock. On one of the streets of a town called Ramey, I see a man who has an organ and monkey. The monkey is gathering pennies. The man is grinning. He is Cloyd Broberg. The principal contributer to the penny cup is Helen Gallagher. She is sorry for Cloyd as it is on her account that he is lowered to such a position. She has jilted him to marry Ned Pollock. I see a teacher in a large sunny room. The room looks rather juvenile and small children are sitting around tables playing in sand. The teacher is Amelia Vincent. I see a cabaret glittering with lights and tinkling with laughter Soft music begins to fill the air and a small dancer comes out. It is Ruth Williams. I see an airplane field. One of the aviators is Bert Webb. I see a large airplane iitted out for a long journey. The men have fur suits and look as if they are going to a cold climate. I see the plane fiying for many days and nights until it is far beyond the range of human habitationg at last they landand I hear a great shout. The North Pole has been reached. I see them going back on the homeward journey. At last they reach home and I see many newspapers. on the front page of all I see Mr. Webb's picture. He is receiving great honor every- where.

I see a young lady sitting at a desk in a large white room. She looks very dignified, and is talking to a lady sitting With an infant in her lap. The dignified person is Margaret Pollock who is a baby specialist. The other lady is Mary Adelsberger who has married a wealthy broker.

A ' ..ofg,.. Y THE JACK Ol LANTERN THIRTEEN UNLUCKY-? NEVER The Junior Class consisting of thirteen has been anything but un- lucky. There are only three boys in our class but, we hope to have more next year. We started this year with a bang, anxious to make our school term a success. Uncle Sam's demand for our class President Lorain Wagner Cwho works in the Post Ofiicei and Dick Grafton's return to Woodward High School made it necessary to elect new officers. Cherry Quinn was elected President, and Peg Sherkel Vice Presi- dent, and at this election it was decided that these officers were to be permanent. Fall baseball season opened with one of our class, Banty Robert- son, as team manager. Banty is small but he is certainly a sporting baby and, tried his best to make the H. H. S. team a success. There were not many social events at Houtzdale High. this year gut th'e'f'e'w'th'at there' lwereguwere' attended unanimously by the Junior ass. . , ., .. . . . Several meetings were held to deccide on Class rings. After a little debating-not fighting '25-we decided on one which is aczmn-eo! by all who have seen it. r - There were none of our class in the basket-ball squadithis year. Surely the boys will try harder next year. It would not seemright to have a basket-ball squad without any Dignified Seniors --? The Juniors have tried very hard to increase their treasury. A lunch was served, from which we received one half the proceeds while the remaining half was given to the Athletic Association. In March chances were taken on a cake from which we received quite a Alot of money. Only one Junior had a role in Springtime this year's Mid-Year play. However most of us took part in the chorus which aiorded much enjoyment and we look forward with great expectancy to the Senior Play. In the second week in April a meeting was called by the Class President.The question brought before the class was Are we going to have a reception for the Senior Class? The Yeas had it and the President appointed two committees to begin work at once. Julia Hughes was appointed chairman of the Social Entertainment Com- mittee to be assisted by, Lorraine Hall, Juliette Reed, Marcella Chaplin Rose Marie Hagan, and David Hiller. And the working committee of which Inez Johnson was appointed chairman assisted by Gretchen Hil- ler, Banty Robertson, Peg Sherkel, Helen Dickey, and Cherry Quinn. It was also decided at this meeting that We serve a lunch on Friday, ay 1, after the Senior Literary Program. Dot Pidgeon was appointed chairman of the Lunch Committee and she and her assistants made a great success of the lunch. At the Senior Literary Giles Bonner, Senior Class President present- ed Thomas Quinn, President of the Junior Class, with a beautiful mantle of blue and white which he was to keep in behalf' of our class until we the class of '26 should pass it to the class of '2'7. ..37..,- v W THE JACK O' L-iN'l'EllX On May Znd. several members of the class motored to Philipsburg to select favours for the Senior Reception. Both committees were busy at this time since their first really big undertaking was set for May 12 just a day or so before the Senior's two week vacation. May 12th arrived and Juniors could be seen running all over the place, strips of paper trailing along the ground, and their mouths muf- fled with pins and tacks and fingers which were hit without mercy instead of the tacks which were to hold the decorations, and their heads all in a whirl, murmuring to one another We'll never in the world be ready for tonight. But We were ready and the evening proved a great success. We wish to thank the lower classmen for their co-operation in putting this event over. HORRORS-it-Examinations. The finals began the third week in May and the Juniors were too busy studying or should I say cram- ming to interest themselves in any other events of the school, We hope to be as successful in our Senior Year as all the Seniors have been before us.

When the present sophomore class entered High School it was composed of twenty four members. They were namely: Earle Mitchell Alma Friberg, Margaret Helsel, Hazel Pearson, Paul Tompkins, Clif- ford Mills, Maurice Radcliffe, Frank Du1'kee, Catherine Domen, Cath erine Boulton, Charles Zeigler, Mary Makar, Mary Sahlaney, Margaret Prince, Norman Galvin, Norman Gilroy, William Chaplin, Helen De- lansky, Helen Gallagher, Melissa Newcomer, Emma Tuch, Elias Helsel, and Margaret Matey. They were a jolly bunch of Freshies you can bet, ready for anything. But their spirits were tamed down a little when they encountered Latin and Algebra. They were nevertheless undaunt- ed by difficulties and thus were quite successful finally. Of course there were a few, as there always are, who loafed on the job, and there- fore failed in a number of subjects. At the suggestion of Professor Silliman a meeting was held on January 14, 1924, for the purpose of organizing the class. With Professor Silliman acting as chairman, nominations were received first for Class President. Frank Durkee, Clifford Mills, and Melissa New- comer were nominated. Then when a vote was taken Melissa New- comer, was found to be the one honored by the position of being the then, Freshmen Class President. The remaining officers elected were: Helen Zeigler, Vice President, Helen Gallagher, Secretary, and Emma Tuch, Treasurer. The second meeting was held on Feb. 4, 1924, which also might be of some interest to those who still remember their High School Days. The purpose of the meeting was to select class colors, and a motto. The colors finally selected were Blue and Silver , and the motto was Carpe Diem or Seize The Opportunity. It was also agreed that the colors and motto selected should be retained for the entire four years by the class, and that pins should be purchased at a later date. As a class of Freshmen they received the greatest praise from the faculty for their endeavor, loyalty, and behavior. In some ways it was one of the best classes that has ever entered Houtzdale High School, although they certainly did demand patience from the instructors in some subjects especially in Latin and Algebra. None of the class how- ever absolutely failed, and we justly and willingly give the honor to whom it belongs, the faculty of 1923-24. The same class now becoming well acquainted with High School life and ways, entered Houtzdale High as a class of Sophmores in the fall of 1924. A few had been lost from the ranks in the heat of battle, and a few new ones acquired, but it was still a class of power and spirit. willing in every way to cooperate with the faculty. And now the term approaches an end with all Sophomores rejoicing in their success, yet sorrowing for the way High Sflhool Days, the days of life and youth, are rapidly passing. - 30-M THIS JACK O' LANTEliX 3? 1 - A.,, ,. ,'4V , .A A..,,. for ami A ,. ,, Class Oflicers Jack Neff-President Carl Ericson-Vice President George Mills-Secretary Sara Johnson-Treasurer Class Roll The foliowing in order reading from left to right are-Name-Nick-Name Hobby Disposition-Killjoy Charles Badman- Baddy -Baskelrball-Jolly-'Latin Margaret Caroy-''Marg -F1irting-Changeable-Algebra.

The gorl lifted the long, glossy, eyelashes which required quite an effort to raise, and throwing back the dark curls that supped her dim- lded QP1H,She gave a snnhng glance at her grandfathen Ilerinten- tion or speaking to him was suppressed by a cough from the old man which shook his whole frame so violently that the girl trembled. She also took a firmer grasp of his withered hand to make sure that she had him with her. Oh! Grandpa, I can't understand why such a wealthy man as Mr. Frost should be so greedy. It may be that some day heswill be made to understand. Yes, but Jeanie dear, we can not base our future on may-bes3 you havenit the slightest idea how heartless such men as Mr. Frost are. And still worse is the fact that Mr. Glass the attorney, is a close friend of Frost's and is as eager to see us lose our home as he is. But grandpa, what will we do if we are made to leave the good old house? We have no where to go and it is snowing most of the time. Mr. White, her grandfather, did not answer her question because just then they passed Mr. Frost's son who gave them a sneer and passed on without as much as answering the greeting of Jean. They walked along over the giradually deepening snow until they' 'sighted their dwelling through the surrounding trees. , Its appearance did not look by any means comfortable or inviting but it meant much to our friends as they went throught the gate to the porch which was completely covered with fresh snow. Jean produced a key from her pocket and opened the screaching door, admitting them to a room containing a small heating stove. After taking oif her grand- father's wraps as well as her own she stirred the dying coals and added a few pieces of wood which soon made a crackling noise up the chimney. Although Jean was only fourteen years old she was quite accustomed to doing the easierthousehold duties. She had been-an orphan ever since she was a small child, and therefore her affections grew towards her grandfather as she advanced in years. She realized the calamity That Mr. Frost's threat would bring if the deed was not produced with- ina week, the time that was given to them for preparations of depart- ure. After having finished a hasty evening meal she sat down on the arm of her grandfather7s chair and began caressing him. At length she opened the conversation by saying, Dear old Grandpa, I still can't g -323--N f THE JAC? O' LANTERN see why Mr. Frost wants this place. Why it is merely a shack along side of h1s mansion. U Yes, began the old man, You are right, but he knows that by taking It from us, we are ruined, and I simply can't find the deed. He paused as though talking was too great a strain for him and then con- tinued,- My father once hurt Mr. Frost when he was a child and not being able to get revenge on him, he is getting it on me now. The child merely said that there was a power greater than Mr. Frosts .and leaving her guardian, she retired, knowing that Grandpa was fatigued over the walk and needed a rest. On Sunday she was to church as usual, having during the previous days looked in every nook and corner where a piece of paper might bo found, but the search was fruitless. The old man had already found a place to rent but in a short time his little money would be gone and then he would be forced to beg for a living. ' All Monday morning Jean was gathering up little trinkets which were once owned by her mother and therefore she prized them very highly. All of these she put into one box that she might be able to carry them with her. Running through a book, she came across a sheet of paper which was loose and after closer examination she beamed with surprise over the long lost title to their property. Something tempted her to go quickly and tell her grandfather but still another motive caused her to stay. At the noon meal Mr. White was surprised to see her in such gay spirits, but then he changed his thoughts for she was only a child and didn't know better. About an hour later two men came walking into the gates, snugly clothed for protection against the biting frost. At a rap the doimr was opened and they were invited to sit down by the fire. l f'Well, said Mr. Frost, You must be ready by this time to leave, noticmg that the necessary articles were packed. 2 Mr. White gave a positive nod of his white head but Jean inter- rupted by saying. The furniture might be but ,indeed I'm not. The two men looked at each other in amazement at the bravery of the child, but now the attorney spoke,- You, indeed are a brave lass, but you can't turn against the law, and producing a paper from his pocket Which was a false deed, he showed it to Jean and her guardian. I think my eyesight is good and my Grandpa taught me how to' read long ago, said Jean, and at the same time she placed a paper before the two gentlemen. They looked with discolored faces at each other, and taking their caps, left, the attorney adding the fact that they could remain in their house. i Jean enclosed two loving arms about her grandfather's neck, say- ing,- I knew that their power was not the greatest. Emma Tuch '27 THE JACK Ol LANTERN F UTILITY For the spark of inspiration, I have searched my weary brain. But the spirit still evades me And my efforts are in vain. On the altar of the Muses, Sacrifices I have laid. But the Gods are deaf to prayers And in vain I seek their aid. All the themes of ancient poets, Love of ladies, deeds of knights. Have been many years exhausted And my pen just nonsense Writes. High school poets write of lessons, Write of Latin and of trots, Of the cruelty of teachers, And their constant you must nots.

Dorothy Pidgeon '26 --H.-H.-S.-- i EQUUS BONUS Ruthie had a little trot, She kept it out of sight. She always made good marks because She used her pony every night. She took her trot to schol one day Which Wasn't very wise, She really might have lost it, 'cause Prof. Silliman has such good eyes. But such was not to be her fate. The pony's still intact But now it always stays at home And acts as good trots act. Dorothy Pidgeon '26 MZ! n M THE JACK U' LANTERN Y A PARODY ON LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG ADDRESS I sat in the house last night alone, And wished that I could go out and buy an ice cream cone But by father's advice I sat there so nice, and passed the night alone, I couldn't read nor I couldn't smokeg So I sat at the table and this is what I wrote :- Fourscore and seven days ago our teachers brought forth into this school a new system, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposi- tion that all pupils are ruled equally. Now we are engaged in a great civil strife, testing whether that system, or any system so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We have come to argue a portion of that law, so that it will be fair and square for those who are making the sacrifice that it might live. It is altogether iitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot rebel, we cannot revise. we cannot dismiss this system. The intelligent teachers here have con structed it far above our poor power to add or detract. The pupils wil' little note or respect it, but they will never forget the result of it. It is for us, the present seniors, rather to be engaged in the unfinished work which the teachers have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored teachers, we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave their last full measure of devotiong that we here highly resolve that these teachers shall not have tried in vain: that this school under.Silliman shall have a new birth of freedomg and that the government of the pupils, by the pupils, and for the pupils shall not perish from this school. . F. J. R. '25 H. H. S. AN INCIDENT It was a cold, dreary, cheerless night. The wind whistled in thc trees with eerie mutterings and died away in the distance with fearful groans. Not a star could be seen and the moon shed but a faint light. Only one man trudging along on the path through the woods gave evidence of life. The small animals of the woods gave no sign of their prese-nce and he felt unexpressibly lonely. Suddenly an owl hooted in a tree near him and he felt an icy shiver run down his spine. He could see the eyes of the owl gleaming in the black darkness. The farther he walked the more lonely he become. Presently he came to an open space and with the aid of the moon, which had become a little brighter, could discern the outlines of a high wall. VVhen he came nearer he saw that it was a huge stone wall with great iron gates. He almost turned to stone. This was the famous cemetery in which departed spirits were supposed to walk about midnight. He looked at his watch and was dismayed to find that it was five minutes of twelve. ,,,g43,,, THE JACK O' LANTERN When he came to the large iron gate he could not resist looking in and as he looked an icy fear congealed his blood. A white shape was moving ai ound the Lombstones and seemed to be coming nearer. The perspiration stood out on his forehead in large drops and he shook from head to foot, but presently he recovered himself. A large stone was at his feet and he picked this up and hurled it at the white object. An unearthly noise came to his ears and he immediately took to his heels. When he iound that the thing was not following him he slowed down a little. His courage suddenly revived when the faint breeze carried to him the biay ofa idonkey. As he resumed his journey he wondered which was the biggest donkey. A. E. V. '25 H. H. S. I'LL SAY YOU DID!! Did you ever see a pony sweet? I'll say you did! Did you ever hide it 'neath the seat?

George Arnold. The Seniors added several new members to their class, Howard Jones, Cloyd Broberg, and Edmund Pollock. This year Mr. Smith, and Mrs. Weisner Knee Sadie McKenzieJ left us. The faculty at present consists of Vian B. Silliman Principal, Lloyd E. Howe assistant Principal, and Miss Emma Weber, Teacher. The Freshman class acted like Freshies and held a meeting, the first month of school. They elected officers for the coming year. During the month of October the High School held their first party. Many of the Woodwardites were entertained. Everyone reported a supermelagorgeous time. In November the Seniors selected their pennants, which arrived later in the month. At present the Green and White can be seen as you cnter the assembly room. A most interesting and successful Get-Together Meeting of the patrons and faculty, assembled in the High School on November 21, 1924. A program was rendered by the High School pupils. The first week in December, Professor Silliman met with the Seniors and a Home Period was organized. It was decided that .vonefperiod every Tuesday afternoon would be devoted to the organization. Finley Saupp was elected Chairman, and Mary K. Adelsberger, secretary. A program of interesting numbers was presented at each period and dis- cussions of various questions for the improvement of school conditions. The High School indulged in their annual frolic of exchange- ing nonsensical Christmas gifts, after the Christmas Literary Program. Several fellow students attended a party at the Chaplin home on December 28, 1924. After a joyful evening, we departed for home Wishing Marcella many happy returns of the-day. Most everyone was chanting that familiar tune fOh How I Hate to Go back to School. After Christmas vacation. ' -41- THE JACJS O' LANTERN The County Superintendent, Mr. Trostle made his .annual visit to the school during January. He inspected the school, and then .finally consented to address the school, as usual his talk was appreciated by all There was much excitement during mid-year examinations, but the routine was soon back to normal, and school was school again. Among the many contestants in the Lincoln Essay contest, Earle Mitchell, a Sophmore, was awarded the medal for the best essay on Abraham Lincoln. The medal was offered by the Illinois Watch Co. of Springfield, Illinois. The medal was presented on Lincoln's birthday. The essay submitted by Ruth Williams received second honors. Springtime a musical comedy, was presented by the High School for the benefit of the Athletic Association under the direction of Miss Hendricks of the John Rodgers Producing Company. 'It proved to be a great success. Springtime was shown on the 23 of February, and thus as a certain Freshman facetiously remarked enabled Houtz- dale people to see Springtime early. Even Finley Saupp had a birthday in March, which was celebrated on St. Patricks Day by a surprise party given at Finley's home. Every- one had a very good time, at least we all seemed to linger until the next morning. The Teachers Local Institute of this district was conducted in the High School Building on March 21, 1925. The Varsity boys claim the basket-ball season ended very success- fully this year, but we really think they mean the-delicious chicken sup- per which was served at Mr. and Mrs. Sillimans home one evening in March to the boys of the Varsity. Two Members of the Senior class, Ellis Hoffman and Francis Rodgers enjoyed a trip to Washington, our capital city. The Literary books are increasing in number. Several new editions have been added this year by the Literary Society, Freshman and mem- bers of the community. The latest edition is a set of Comptons Pictur- ed Encyclopediaf' Some of the students think they are too juvenile but our opinion is that even the laboratory would not go wrong in adding a few milk bottles to its equipment. Many students of the second year French class are corresponding with students of France, who are studying English. The Reading Room, which is a new feature of our routine this year, is on the road to success. The rules are faithfully carried out by monitors, who mark demirits for violations of rules. At various times lunches were served by the Seniors and Junior classes, for the benefit of different school organizations, and class interests. This year the Literary Society met with it's greatest success. Each month a program more amusing and instructive was rendered. On May lst the last program, the Senior Number was conceded by all to be the best of the current year. Following is the program in detail, ..4g.. THE JACK O' LANTERN Song ............

The party was Very well planned ,and the Hall artistically decorated in the Senior colors. An entertainment including many amusing features was presented by the pupils, followed by games, dancing, and refreshments. That fare- well party will never be forgotten. It will always bring back fond memories of the H. H. S. The alumni and patrons who visited the High School at various times this year were certainly welcome. We hope they will never lose interest in their High School. . E. O. H. '25 H. H. S. - -431 THE JACK 0' LANTEli'X ' : 5 fi s .

We had quite a few interesting games, but since the official score-keeper has either been lost, strayed, or stolen, we cannot give any box scores or even results of games played. We do, however remember a series of about five games with Woodward, because they won the series. Spring base ball is still in the air, but Manager Robertson has to impress the coach, and chaffeurs of the various cars that carry the boys, and other men who are not engaged, into service in order to get nine men on the field. On our spring schedule so far, we have lost one game to Coalport at home by a 7-1 score, and one to Ramey away, 8-6. If the manager can find a few more men we will win all the remaining games on our schedule. H. H. S.

J 4' g Z lw:J,,Z'J W The Jack O'Lantern of the Houtzdale High School wishes to thank the various High Schools, who have been kind enough to wish to ex- change school papers. We deeply appreciate this opportunity of com- munication with neighboring schools. We know that we received much inspiration and help through the knowledge of their activities and triumphs. One advantage which results from an exchange with other schools is that it promotes a feeling of friendship, which always accompanies an exchange of ideas. We cannot all visit other schools, or know personally the students of the schools, but we can become acquainted with them by reading in the different school papers of their activities. Another value received from an exchange of papers, and one that is very important is the inspiration to improve our publications, to make them more extensive and more worthy of the combined efforts of our students. We want to be proud of our paper, to send it to their schools with the feeling that we have produced a publication equally as good as others, which we have received. This result of exchange is stimulation. In enumerating the value of exchanges we must not forget to mention the help received, when we read of the new experiments and plans tried by other schools. We often receive new ideas and are eager to try the same for the betterment of our school. We in our turn, are ready to pass on to others the results of our experiences in new fields and so the interchange of new ideas and plans is mutually help- ful. In conclusion, we appreciate exchanging papers with you. We are now exchange friends. May our friendship continue to grow larger and better through the future years. - 50-- THE' JACK o' LANTERN EXCHANGE NOTES Y It was a rainy day in April. A large group of carefreeboys and girls were gathered in the Reading Room of the High School. As I entered the room I met a lot of my old friends. They were Birdseye, lV1Unite, Gleam, Orange and Black and The Lore. I soon per- ceived that there were some strangers in our midst. I was very much pleased to meet The Argus,'i' Crimson and Gold, also many others. After chatting a bit about school news Miss Crimson and Gold suggested that we have a stunt party. This suggestion was greeted with hilarious enthusiam, but no one wanted to start. At last The Gleam was induced to set the ball rolling, and it delighted the company with the following poem. Another Gleam is coming And our news is on the blink Somebody's got to come across Or our Gleam will surely sink Bravo cried all the papers at once. Johnson High is not alone said The Spokesman timidlyf' I guess we all have a time finding news and jokes. Yes, I said, we all could do better if we had more support, but it seems so hard to get the students interested. However I think the G1eam is a fine paper and has such snappy jokes. Orange and Black was the next on the program and sang several songs. The last one Crosword Puzzle Blues delighted all and led 'Thilipsburg School News to retaliate by making us all work Cross Word Puzzles. The Lore was next on the program. It is distinguished in telling stories. After naming different stories such as A Tragedy, His Reputation and If I had been a Cave Man, His Reputation was selected by the party as its best. In another section of the room, The Knight, The Gleam, and The Lotus were discussing the story, each in turn giving their criticism on the story. When my turn came I said Indeed 1 certainly think that the Lore has a very good Literary Department. The next feature which helped to make the party a success was a monologue by Miss Birdseyef' It was indeed very good. Like Mr. Fine Uone 1 certainly think The Birdseye has a fine exchange column. You can be proud of it. Another old time friend of ours The Knight delighted the party with different jokes and some amended soliloquies. Hamlet's received the most applause: To be or not to beg some question, I'll say. Why, its got the League of Nations beat forty ways, What's the answer? Search me, My names Hamlet, not Ouija. -51.- H N run .Lick o' LANTERN But take it from me, when a guys got a conscience its nix on the haii-kaii. Safety irst-that's me all over. ' How clever said The Peptimistf' Then someone cried a penny for Your thoughts Miss Jack O' Lantern But I was really thinking how 1 could voice my praise for their highly developed Nonsense Depart- men . ' L Une of our newly acquired friends The Red and Black gave an account of their doings of the year. This was interesting, and once again 1 versed my opinion, that I was indeed glad to see an interest taken in Class Notes as most High Schools pay more attention to developing their other departments. The following number was a play given by The Anvil. It was a great success and was enjoyed by all those present. I certainly think the Anvil has a very good Dramatic Club. Don't you brother and sister Exchanges? f'The Peptimist gave us quite a treat and we soon became acquaint ed' with the Juniors, Sophmores and Freshman of Mauch Chunk, Town- ship School. I think your article entitled- All About Us is exception- y good. Crimson and Gold, favored us with their splendid story- Ann's Lesson. I heard some of the girls passing remarks on the t'Crimson and Gold? The xGleam said, more stories would add greatly to the Literary Department of the Crimson and Gold. But we can not all have a perfect paper. To me Crimson and Gold School Notes are a suf- ficient compensation for the lack of stories. We were all wondering who would make the move to provide i'irt er amusements. Our friend the MUnite rendered a fine talk on Training a Team, which was appropriate as much of our attention is attracted to athletics. MUnite always has fine Editorials. . We looked wonderingly at each other as a young lady appeared dressed in garnet and white. Why its the Garnet and White, said the Argus Our new acquaintance enchanted us witha tale of The Lands of A's How unique, exclaimed several vioces. Yes, I agreed, Garnet and VVhite's Literary Department has the most cleverly writ- ten articlesf' The Pennant introduced a program given by their Shakespearean Literary Society. ,The monotony of excessive humor was related by a debate presented by the Tattler and the Brown and White. This pleased the company very much and turned our minds to more serious things. The program was concluded with a discussion of School Spirit which we would do well to take to heart. As it was already growing late, our guests were forced to leave, lamenting the necessity of departing and promising to return soon. pw THE JACK O, LANTERN' Norman Times-C. S. N. S.--Lock Haven, Pa.
