Education, as defined by Webster, constitutes a development of the powers or capacities of the mind through special process of training. Greece was the first country to work out a theory and practice of education based upon scientific, rather than upon the practical side of life. As the outposts of civilization gradually move westward we trace, along with this movement a similiar advance of education. From Greece, which for many years was the seat of learning and art in Europe, Rome obta ned the germs of that great benefactor of humanity—instruction. However we note a new tone in the general method and type of the educational factors employed by the Romans. Instead of teaching the “Higher Arts” such as painting and music to such a universal extent, engineering and other more practical courses of learning were made accessible. Ronan Roads and Aqueducts, the first fruits of this form of instruction stand today as monumnents to the birth of practicability in schooling. From Rome throughout Europe and England to America we find in this westward march of education a regular growth of the practical, rather than the scientific school, until today, The United States ranks as second tD none among the nations of the world in the educational possibilities offered to its citizens. The American school, one of the most powerful institutions within our boundaries has control over and is instrumental in establishing in industry and other pursuits, more persons per year than any other principal or society in the world. Yet how many of the young people of the nation actually take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to better themselves and society as a whole? Less than 1 per cent of American men are college graduates, yet this one per cent of university men has furnished to our country, fifty-five per cent of our Presidents, thirty-six per cent of the members of Congress, forty-seven per cent of the Speakers of the House, fifty-four per cent of the Vice-Presidents, sixty-two per cent of the Secretaries of State, fifty per cent of the Secretaries of the Treasury, sixty-seven per cent of the Attorney Generals, and sixty-nine per cent of the Justices of the Supreme Court. Seventy-one per cent of —14— America’s leading business and professional men have attended higher institutions of learning. Thus one per cent of our population has supplied almost three-fourths of our greatest men. These statistics and the ones immediately following were compiled by the United States Department of Education, at Washington, D. C. Success and education as shown by the following table are directly proportional to each other, as one increases the other is bound by the law of proportion, to do likewise. Of five million people with no schooling, only thirty-one gain distinction Of three million people with an elementary education, only eight persons gain distinction. Of two million persons, with a high school education, one thousand and two hundred and forty-five people gain distinction: out of one million persons with a college education, five thousand seven hundred and sixty-eight people gain distinction. Thus it will be seen that a child with no schooling has one chance in one hundred and fifty thousand of becoming successful or performing distinctive service; with elementary education, he has four times the chance: with high school education, eighty-seven times the chance; and with college education eight hundred times the chance. Education pays—it makes possible greater service for society and success for the educated. (ttlaaa iliatnnj By MILDRED MILLER. In the fall of ’i6, we entered J. H. S., as a bright class of a hundred and two infants. In our Sophomore year, there were many missing and our class numbered about seventy youths and lassies. Still more were missing when we became Juniors, having a class of forty young men and women. But now we are Seniors and the class that once contained a hundred and two infants, has so decreased and decreased that we now have only twenty-nine toil-worn students. Such is the class of ’20. As Freshmen we led a rather uneventful school year. It took months for us to settle the dispute concerning our class colors. Finally, after deciding on dark blue and gold, the class as a whole was so weary, that it was necessary to retire for the summer and refrain from further exertion. By our Sophomore year a few of the weary ones recovered. This year the War being the most important issue, the girls of our class gave time and service to the Red Cross. We visited the Red Cross rooms regularly every Friday afternoon and spent the time helping in every way we could. This same year we knit patches for an ambulance robe which was sent to a base hospital in France. During our Junior year we continued this work of going to the Red Cross rooms until the end of the war. Naturally the biggest event of this year was the Junior Prom., held for the Senior class on May 24, 1919. Now we have approached the most serious time of our school life—we are Seniors. Our class may be small, but it has the “real stuff and get up” needed in every class. We returned to school on September first, and the same month we had a Corn Roast at Shrum’s farm. We didn’t stop at that but the following Hallowe’en we gave a big party in the Camp Fire Hall. After Christmas, our school entered the Inter-High School Debating race, held between our High School and the High School s of New Kensington. Scottdale and Irwin. We had the honor of having three debaters from our own class,—James R. Becker and John Shrum as first speakers of the affirmative and negative teams respectively, and Kathryn Kline as an alternate. We won the championship for our district, which makes us feel justly proud, not only of our high school, but of our fellow students as well. Literary was made an interesting feature during the first semester of our Senior year. Our class was divided into rival teams, one side having as its captain James R. Becker, and the other side, John Shrum. At the end of the semester, Becker’s side was ahead. The other side put up a big treat at the Shrum home, the evening of February 17. We as Seniors, have much to look forward to in the way of parties, dances, our play, a banquet, and the Junior Prom. At present writing, we can only mention these events,—but after graduation we will have much to tell. This is the outline of our school careers which will soon be over, but will never be forgotten by those who graduate with the Class of ’20. (Class flrojtljmi By MILDRED LAMB. Scene: Clairvoyant Ap’t of Mme. Mildrede de Lambe— 5th floor—5th and Broadway. New York City. Time: Present. NOTICE: All persons desiring interview with Mme. will make appointments through her private secretary. M. Thomas de Luzio. The following having duly made previous arrangements with madame, as per notice, are entitled to publication: MARGARET ALTMAN “Pudge” timidly entered the “mysterious realm”—but heaved a sigh of relief when the future was revealed: Your life shall be spent nobly. On the crowded streets of N. Y. shalt thou be found, jingling your tambourine and singing on the street corners—moving the most profound sinners with the strains of your sweet voice. Behold! A Salvation Army Lass! JAMES R. BECKER. Within your mind lie great and wonderful things. The future reveals, in Hawaii, a small brick church, to which‘on the Lord’s Day, the converted heathen will flock to worship with “Rev. Becker” as their devoted pastor. (Mrs. Becker will lead the singing.) GRACE CAMPBELL. The future shall find thee in Johnnie Wanamaker’s, Paris, demonstrating thy own complexion cream, perfectly harmless, a wonderful beautifier, and guaranteed to give even a Fiji Islander a soft, white complexion. ALMA DOERZBACHER. MINNIE HOLLAND What do I see? Ah! Yes! A signboard with electric lights!— “Doerzbacher-Holland Studios, Courses in Aesthetic Dancing. $10 per lesson. Inquire within.” VIRGINIA EVERLY. Behold! This queen of literature! In the dim future, we discern her in the honor-seat in the U. S. Senate—there displaying her marvelous talent in advocating “World-wide Prohibition.” ADAM FISHER. In 1950 shall we see him, on the bench in the Supreme Court, as Justice. “Adam C. Fisher, A. B., B. S., M. A., Ph. D., D. D. S.” The Justice parteth his hair in the middle and is a strict advocate of shell-tex spectacles. LILLIAN GREENAWALT. With the proceeds of thy great elocutionary talent shalt thou also journey to the wilds of Hawaii, and there care for the souls of all the soiled-faced and semi-garbed little heathen— ever aspiring to the life of “the pastor’s wife.” OLIVER HENRY. Altho’ unsolicited, Oliver, the gods of fate will deal kindly with thee. State College shall send for thee, and in future years shalt thou be Professor of Natural Science and —16— Chemistry in that great institution, and be adored by freshmen and seniors alike. (Prof. Henry shall also advocate shell-tex spectacles.) MATTHEW HORRELL. Our brilliant, yet silent. Matt! Daily shall he wend his way towards the Holland-Doerz-bacher studios, there to learn the “aesthetic art”, through which he shall dance into the hearts of the theatre-loving public. (Who’d have thought it!) JOE HERBERT In N. Y. City shalt thou dwell, a retired Congressman from Reno, in “high-life on the 42d story of the Woolworth Building—as chief floor-walker in the art dep’t—as a means of past-time. SARA JOHNSON. Before my vision appears a gorgeous stucco-structure—over the front entrance of which hangs the following notice:—“Training School for Husbands—Mme. Johnson’s personal tutorage. HARRY KENNEDY. Our star! He shall be found famed far and wide for his foot-ball, basketball, base-ball brilliancy. And dates innumerous shall he have: dates in Jeannette: dates in Pittsburgh: dates in Hongkong; and dates in Penn. He shall strive for a method of stretching the calendar from 30 to 40 days. KATHRYN KLINE. This young and frivolous lass! But behold! In the dim future I behold her as the strict disciplinarian in the home for feeble-minded children. Behold -a martyr! ELIZABETH McCAULLEY. In days to come shall appear a wide-spread and much circulated newspaper which shall be noted for its Advice-to-the-lovelorn” column—the editor of which shall be none other than our Lib. She shall reap a golden harvest from the “point of her pen. MILDRED MILLER. And behold! Another sign comes before my vision: Madame Miller. Distinguished Soprano. Graduate pupil of Sammenoughskialrite Eligible for concert and movie entertainment. MINERVA MILLER. The tide of her life shall change, and her Venus-like form will adorn the leave of Vogue, a standard for America’s fashionable women. (Copies will be found in Paris, London. Berlin, Yokahoma and Hufftown.) ELIZABETH AND IDA PEDEN. Their record as all-around-American-twins shall not be broken. I see them, both married: both pairs of turtle-doves dwelling in the same “dove-cottage; both wearing gowns patterened after Vogue, and both pairs living happily ever after. ALICE POWERS. Alice, thou shalt be famed as an opera star, and with your lovely voice in the strains of Madame Butterfly shalt thou win the heart of the 59th president of the U. S.. and thereby become first lady of the land. l. MARIE PRITCHETT. Cupid shall fly his darts in vain, and in Manor High shalt thou teach trig. to the 3rd generations of the inhabitants of said industrial center. MARGARET REYNOLDS. Her fame will be world-wide! As a pupil of Paderewski shall she circumnavigate the globe—and perform on all makes of instruments but her favorite shall be the Victor. JOE RICHARDSON. We all thought our Joe was to be a famous cartoonist, but alas! the foot-lights prove too strong a temptation—and wile away our Joe. He shall put A1 Jolson completely in the background. JOHN SHRUM. Behold! Our John the great! An orator, shalt thou be! and in the summer shalt thou be in the habit of taking a vacation. Thou shalt then be found in an African jungle— using thy powers of argument teaching the parrots to debate. ROMAINE SERGEANT. The circus? Not at all! Romaine, as I foresee, rivals Julia Marlowe in productions of Shakesperian drama. ALLEN ST. PETER. Your future appeareth! Your nature is timid, Bus, and although you are a great admirer of the girls—you are most uncomfortably bashful in their presence: and although your book-reviews come in rather delinquency, I behold you as an editor of a famous magazine which will rival Life” in its literary gems(?)” ROLAND WURTHNER. Rolie, to say that thou are extremely fond of the girls is no falsehood. You have covered your fingers with the rings of H. S. lassies, and have covered your heart with class-pins—But, Rolie, this spell will end: and on Liberty Avenue, Pgh.—shalt thou be found in a jewelry store as head clerk—there to remain throughout thy life. 3hr IGaal BJill uni ®efitam?nt BY MARGARET ALTMAN. We, the Class of 1920, being about to leave this mother institution, which is located in the County of Westmoreland, Jeannette, Pennsylvania, being of sound mind, memory and understanding, do make, ordain, publish and declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all wills by us at any time heretofore made.

We, the Senior Class extend to the Freshmen and Sophomores the following set of rules and regulations which have proved to be a great aid to us in setting our own high standards of good conduct and courteous manners. (A word to the wise is sufficient.) I Thou shalt not envy the Seniors their dignified manners nor the Juniors their “eats.” II Sophomores, thou shalt not treat tie Freshmen too harshly lest they drop out of school. III Thou shalt always stand aside, to let thy upper classmen pass. IV Thou shalt not slide down the banisters as this privilege is granted to Seniors, only. V The privilege of using the side entrance to the school building is limited to the upper classmen. VI Thou shalt not “bluff” in class, as does the Senior Class president. VII Thou shalt not be diligent in literary society, lest thy principal punish thee by making thee perform in chapel. VIII Thou shalt not write Love Notes” as do some of the Juniors, lest they be apprehended by the teachers and read in assembly. IX Thou shalt not use slang expressions lest thy deportment mark be lowered. X Thou shalt not loiter in the corridors lest thou be late for thy classes. XI Sophomores, thou shalt not bring playthings to school lest the Freshmen see them and want to play too. XII Thou shalt not cause confusion in chapel during morning exercises or music. XIII Thou shalt not talk to thyself nor to thy neighbor lest thou hinderest someone from studying. XIV Thou shalt not talk back to upper classmen but shall do as they command thee. XV Thou shalt not throw paper wads. XVI Thou shalt not remain out after nine o’clock lest thou be too tired to study the next day. —19— ibln iFantltij By KATHRYN KLINE. We are glad to have this opportunity to show our appreciation and gratitude to those who have done so much for us during our years spent in J. H. S. We know that at all times, whether at work or at play, our teachers have overseen our activities with the most kindly interest and support. And now that we are ready to go out from under their care, we begin to realize what they have done for us, and although we shall miss them, we know that their influence shall live in our life and deeds. Mr. Saul, by his interest and real ability, has proved that we were indeed fortunate in having him for principal of our high school and as teacher of history. We missed him very much during the year and a half he served Uncle Sam. Mr. Stump, our Science teacher, is certainly worthy of admiration and praise. He is possessed of a stern, dignified manner, which immediately commands attention and respect-He is, indeed, a true friend and one that will be remembered as such by the class of ’20. Mr. Humiston, our Commercial teacher and athletic coach, is most deserving of the thanks and gratitude of the students of J. H. S. During his three years with us, he has worked untiringly, not only in his own department, but in all fields of school activities. Miss Cooper, our English teacher, has been with us only one year but long enough to make us realize her worth. She has a way of looking at you that makes you look the other way—seems to try to get you fussed.” We feel grateful to her for the help and advice she has given us towards making our year book a success. Miss Reuter has proved a very successful French teacher during the last two years, in spite of the fact that she did teach German previous to that time. Her pleasing personality and genial manner which always accompany her to her class room, readily wins for her the love and good will of the students. Miss Lauffer has indeed done justice to her subject, (Latin), as well as to each student who has been in her classes. We feel that in years to come we can be very grateful to her for the habits and methods of study which we formed when under her direction. If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, we can safely say that Miss Johnson is capable of finding a very direct course. Judging from the delicious samples we get from the Domestic Science kitchen occasionally, we are sure that she is an artist in her line. Miss Hill, our mathematics teacher, came as a ray of sunshine during the dark days of the war, to fill the vacancy made by one of our former teachers who answered the call to service. We appreciate her both as a teacher and as a personal friend. Mr. Snyder is O. K. in deed as well as in name. We are sorry that his continuation school work demands so much of his time, thus making it impossible to see more of him. And after seeing some of the work our Freshman and Sophomore friends have accomplished while under his supervision, we indeed regret the fact that his classes are not open to upper classmen. Miss Ross has been with us during all four years of our high school course, and in that time has shown herself to be a good sport,” as well as a talented musician. Her smiling countenance on Friday afternoons helps chase away Father Gloom” for the remainder of the week. And now in behalf of the class of 1920, let me extend to our teacher friends our most sincere wishes for their future happiness and success. —20— A iFatry u,ah of the (Elaas of ’2U By VIRGINIA EVERLY. I know of a castle strong. But are those others who Set bodly on a hill. The way to that place is long, And rough and hard; but still How we long to enter in, We wish to surprise the guards We want to reside therein, To speak of the grounds as “yards.” September of every year A band of knights start out, To conquer this castle drear To see what commotion’s about. They start out with brightest hopes, Their faces and armour shining. They soon will learn the “ropes,” Some secrets great, divining. Not all of them come because Their hearts and minds desire: Some come in accord with laws, And fear of parents’ ire. ’Tis “elect and select” now Who enter in the gate. Some find quite a battle now. While some have come too late. Why start on the quest so old? Is’t love, or fear, or hate? Or wish to gain lands or gold? Or a crown to put on thy pate? Ah, love! ’tis th reason why These knights so brave have come. Their lady is in the keep, (Their hearts beat like the drum). The castle guards open wide The gates in court yards grim So hardships will not hold back Some who enter in. Then some of this “select” band, To keep their spirits fine Are given balls to cheers, With song and dance, and wine. Start with this select band? Now why are they lost to view? Have they reached the “promised land?” Ah, No! ’tis because these are Not wealthy, “cultured, wise.” (No thought is given hearts. Or brains, or hands, or eyes.) A part of all these have fought From sun to sun each day, While most of the night was spent In planning for the fray. The failures go down ’midst shouts, The winners just fight on. Discouraged, sometimes, they seem. But ne’er do they “let on.” A number have other calls. Before this work is o’er. A number get lazy, too. Their trait forevermore. A few can get on by cheat, And means unwise, unfair. In this “practice game of life,” All should be fair and sauare. Fortwith I shall tell to you The meaning of this “pome The battles described herein Are anywhere you roam. The Knights of September bright Are Freshmen young and bold. The Castle they’ve come to take The guards of Ignorance hold. The “elect and Select”, you mav Translate that as you will. The Lady in dungeon dark, Is Knowledge—(love her still.) My own apology Is for this lovely rhyme. The thoughts I have expressed Think over again sometime. —21— 8 mim (Snrtt Snast By LILLIAN GREENAWALT. One day last September I went to see my friend. Sir Rodger de Coverly, who was then living in Jeannette. He said that the next evening the Seniors of the High School were going to have a corn roast at Shrum’s farm and he suggested that we go. I agreed very readily for I knew an evening spent with this class would be an enjoyable one. It seemed that the class had never held any festivitiy of this kind. They had had a diner for the Baseball Team, a Sophomore Dance and the Junior Prom., but never a Corn Roast. Some of their former members had left school and new ones had come in so they had planned this way of getting acquainted. We went down to the school at eight o’clock and waited for the class and teachers to assemble. About 8:15 they were all present and we started for the farm. The journey was made in Fords. Milk Trucks and Automobiles, the students being packed in the Fords and Milk Trucks, and the teachers in the automobiles. After riding for about fifteen minutes over what seemed to be the roughest roads in the country, we arrived at the field where the roast was to be held. The boys had been out in the afternoon and cut wood for the fires. No time was lost in starting the conflagrations which were soon roaring, due to the help of the class president’s carbon oil can. Upon unanimous consent John was appointed “Fire Chief’’ for the evening. The Seniors were a jolly bunch and lost no time in getting started. There were no Freshmen around, so they cast off their dignified manners and began to play games such as,—“Farmer in the Dell,’’ “Drop the Handkerchief,” “Breaking the Ice” and “Three Deep.” They played for almost two hours and then everyone seemed to get hungry at once, although some say that a person named, St. Peter led the party to the refreshments, eating more himself than any other there. Soon they were all sitting around the fire, toasting marshmellows. roasting weiners and telling stories. Sir Rodger and I had been invited to attend a corn roast but strange to say we saw no corn. After the lunch, we were entertained by the class president, Mr. Shrum, who told us several humorous stories and gave some toasts. Later the Senior Quartette composed of Rol-land Wurthner, Matthew Horrell, Joe Richardson, and Harry Kennedy, rendered several choice selections which were well received by the elite. About this time the fires began to get low and some of the boys began to cut wood. Their teacher who was helping them seemed to have had experience but some of the boys handled the axe as though they had never seen one before. The fire chief again came to the rescue with his wonderful oil-can and soon the fires were again burning brightly. There were a few more speeches and several songs but after listening to these for a half an hour the class decided that the neighbprs had suffered enough for one evening and as they didn’t like to offend the gentlemen of the quartette by asking them to stop singing, some one suggested that the party be discontinued for the evening. Everyone seemed willing so at 11145, they climbed into the “Lizzies” and were soon back in Jeannette. This was the first class festivity that Sir Rodger and I had ever attended. We decided a corn roast was a very good place for the members of a class and their teachers to become acquainted, even if they had no corn. Tiii h § riuuil SepartnunttH By JOE HERBERT.

The Commercial Department offers a course to prepare the student for work immediately after graduation. It contains Bookkeeping, Shorthand. Typewriting, Commercial Law, Office Training, Business Correspondence and Commercial Geography. The French Department consists of two years of study open to Juniors and Seniors only. English, which is a compulsory subject throughout the four years of the High School course, includes a study of Rhetoric, History of English Literature, History of American Literature, and writings of the most prominent literary men. Latin offers courses throughout the four years of High School, taking up the essentials of Latin Grammar, Caesar’s Gallic Wars, Cicero, and Virgil. Department of Mathematics includes two years of Algebra, Plane and Solid Geometry and Trigonometry. The Science Department includes Physicsand Chemistry, which is open to the students of the Junior and Senior years. Two periods a day are spent in each of these subjects, one in the class room and the other in the laboratory in experimental work. Domestic Science has recently been added to the High School Course. The rooms wherein this science is taught are situated in the basement and although we are rather handicapped at present in room and apparatus, the girls of the lower classes are looking forward with anticipation to the fully equipped rooms which are promised them in the new High School Building. Manual Training, also has recently been added to the High School course. Classes are open to the boys of the Freshman and Sophomore years. The time is divided between drawing and practical work in the shop. Miss Laura Ross supervises and teaches the music in High School. She directs a well-organized Orchestra and Girls’ Glee Club and has charge of the music in chapel. She also conducts a class in Musical Appreciation. fferprtual fHnttmt By VIRGINIA EVERLY. There stands a bright Senior, the teachers’ delight Both talking and laughing from morning ’til night; No one in the High School has got more to say Of the parties and dances and news of the day. No matter if teacher the lesson explains. This chatter flows on like swift-rushing rains: What a wonderful partner I danced with last eve— Such ravishing eyes—his first name is Steve.” And the principal says if our work is not done That he surely will ‘flunk’ us, no matter which one. You can do as you like, but you’ll surely see That no one at all can impose upon me.” Then teacher asks: “Is your work nearly done”? I can do twenty problems while you’re doing one. You’re talking too fast to know what you’re at, I hate to see people so full of their chat.—” No, no, Anna dear, I was not at that party You surely don’t think I would go with that smarty!” And thus it goes on forever and ever, In all sorts of conditions and all kinds of weather: Endless talk and the Seniors you never can sever. —23— 3. ©. £ .’s 3art in thr (great UJnrlit War By MARGARET REYNOLDS. The members of the class of 1920 will have much to ponder and think over, when, in after years they review the events which happened during their High School Days. These events are too numerous to mention but among them one “Great Event” stands out with far greater prominence than the rest—it is the Great World War, which America entered in 1917 and which lasted until 1919. It was an event of character which can never be forgotten, even by the frivolous class of 1920. Yes, we were a frivolous class, but not frivolous enough to ignore such an event as that terrible war. We laid aside our frivolity for practically two years and entered into the task of helping our Beloved Country—America! The Junior Red Cross was organized and the girls, not only of class of ’20, but all of the entire high school pitched in and “worked.” At least three times a week after school duties were done, we went in a body to the Elks’ Hall, and there we cut, sewed and made bandages for our noble soldiers. The work was a pleasure to us because we realized what a little part we could really play, and we worked to make that part grow. Then there were bonds to be sold and other similar work to be done and in this the boys of J. H. S. worked with vigor, several of them receiving prizes for their good work. But better than any prize that could be received, was the appreciation and thanks expressed by the soldier lads who received the benefits from these sales. The girls of our class knit a huge blanket, gaily colored, and stitched with hope—“hope” —that we should win. Win we did, but whether the blanket had anything to do with the matter still remains a mystery. We are conceited enough to think that by its bodly flashing colors, it spoke out thoughts and hopes. Another occurrence of which our class is justly proud, was the enlistment of Leo Boz-ic, in the world’s cause. He proved to be the youngest marine in France, fifteen years of age. We feel that that is a memory worth cherishing. Adam Fisher of the Class of 1918 served the colors for one year, and returned to graduate with the class of 1920. Our Principal, Homer B. Saul, and Mr. W. A. Hammond of the Mathematics department, responded to the great call by serving with the Ordnance Department in the States. This inspired J. H. S. still further, for it felt that it had a personal interest in the war. A rather conceited feeling some may say—but others will say a noble feeling and they are right. Our remaining teachers worked, and with their kindly advice and friendly criticisms we did much, which with out their aid would have remained undone. We thank them, and hope we have not proved unworthy in the great crisis through which we passed. (Eiir nitnr OSirls’ tnti'rtauunrut By MINNIE HOLLAND. A meeting of the Senior Girls was called one day last November at noon dismissal. One of the girls acted as chairman and explained the reasons for calling the meeting. It was a result of Mr. Saul’s suggestion. Before adjourning the girls had decided to give an entertainment, the proceeds of which should be spent for something to place in the new high school building. Everyone agreed that Miss Cooper was most capable of planning the entertainment and it was put in her hands. It was not long before another meeting was called and the name of the play was announced. It was “Jerusah Dow’s Picture Album.” It was decided that the play should be given the eleventh of December. Each person was assigned a part to which she was best suited, and preparations for the play progressed rapidly. The time for the play arrived, with all the girls there. Each girl was camouflaged enough to look her part. The play began and each girl did her best; although some of them did laugh while they were standing in a large frame posing as a picture in Aunt Jerusah’s family album. After the audience had enjoyedthe play they were entertained by Miss Cooper, who recited. After the performance was over, a lunch, consisting of ice cream and cakes, was served. Every one present enjoyed the evening. After the financial affair was settled, it was found the girls had cleared quite a sum of money, which was turned over to a committee of three, who selected two beautiful pictures, which are to be placed in the Senior Room of the new high school building. The pictures selected were “Stratford-on-Avon” and “Alma Mater.” —24— r s MUSIC (Utr jCitrrarg Swirtif By MARIE PRITCHETT. The work of the literary societies is considered one of the most important activities in any high school, and in this respect J. H. S. is no exception. Perhaps in no other field of School work is there such training for the future as there is in this department, because in the first place a student becomes accustomed to speaking before an audience, and also to speak distinctly and clearly, with confidencein his own ability, and by the time he reaches his Senior year he does not feel so timid as he did when he was a Freshman; of course he should not, he has been trained four years in literary work and each year helps him conquer his bashfulness, making him unafraid even bfore a large audience. This training acts, not only as a help in the business world, but also in social life. The forms of the literary society and the manner in which the meetings are carried out, are the foundations of larger societies in the community. The literary society has been organized in various schools to aid each student, so that he may improve his literary standard in every way possible. This may be illustrated in the J. H .S. Debating Teams. Was not the success of the teams due largely to the former literary training in which the individual participated? This shows that the literary training benefits not only the pupils individually but collectively, and thus provides a common interest in the high school. Furthermore, the literary society is the greatest means of arousing enthusiasm and creating a spirit of loyalty and fidelity to the school. Therefore, the pupil should strive, not merely to aid himself in speaking, although this is a large part of the work of the literary society, but also to raise higher the standard of the school’s literary society, and always believe that he is working for the best and truest interest of his alma mater. Due to the unusual interest and progress shown in the High School this year a Literary Association will be formed soon. The students who are eligible for membership are those who have represented the high school in some form of public literary work. An old English J, seven inches in height, will be awarded to those people who have participated in inter-scholastic contests, while a five-inch J will be awarded the students who take part in public entertainments of productions within our own high school. (Uu' Dfbatitm drains By ANNABELLE TOMLINSON. Although organized only this year, we feel safe in saying that our Inter-Scholastic Debating League is one of the strongest societies of our High School. As a means of promoting interest in the High Schools and to offer training in the field of debating, the principals and superintendents of the schools of Westmoreland County arranged for a series of contests. Jeannette High School was placed in Section n together with the high schools of Scottdale, New Kensington, and Irwin. It was arranged that both teams of each school should debate the teams of each of the other schools on the subject. Resolved that a System of Compulsory Arbitration of Disputes between Employer and Employees should be established in the United States. We are proud to say that our teams gained the victory for J. H. S., having won five out of the six points possible for them to get. This gave us the section trophy, which is a beautiful silver cup. We were then eligible to enter the County Contest to compete with the winners of the other two sections, but the withdrawal of one of these sections from the contest made it imposible to hold the final series of debates. Thus ended our hopes for winning the county victory of which we felt so confident. One factor which proves the successfulness of the work was the interest and support with which our heroes were backed by the entire student body. We had an almost one hundred per cent representation of the students at every contest held on our own floor, and the one time that it was possible to accompany them to one of the other high schools. J. H. S. was there in full force. We certainly were not lacking in spirit during those times. Miss Annabel Cooper and Miss Anne G. Reuter are deserving of credit for their untiring efforts and systematic coaching. DEBATING TEAMS. AFFIRMATIVE James R. Becker Alfred Stoughton A1 -TER N I T.

WALTER HUMISTON It is fitting here to say a few words with regard to the efficient work and faithful support of our Athletic director, Mr. Humiston. Mr. Humiston came to our school in the fall of 1917 and was appointed coach of our Basket Ball team of that winter. His ability as coach won for him the position of Athletic director of the High School. Before coming to Jeannette, Mr. Humiston had distinguished himself in Athletics at Ransom High School and Albion College, at which schools he played on the varsity football and baseball teams. After graduating from Albion College, Mr. Humiston was athletic director in several of the high schools in the middle west, including Harbor Springs, Hillsdale, Michigan, and Monmouth, Illinois. We are very fortunate in having secured a man who has been so well fitted by actual experience in the field of athletics. It is mainly through his untiring efforts and systematic coaching that we have obtained the high standards in Athletics which we now hold. The class of 1920 extends its best regards to Mr. Humiston, with the hope that Athletics in J. H. S. will continue to be as successful as they have been in the past few years. —31— Athlrtir Aaanriattmt By JOHN SHRUM. The Jeannette High School Athletic Association was born in the spring of the year 1918. Up until that time the interest shown in Ath-letics was very poor. But from that time the interest has been increasing from year to year. This Association has the earnest support of every student in the School, and it is agreed by all, that the organization of this Association was the greatest step forward in Athletics in t ie History of Jeannette High School. The idea was originated in the school by our Athletic Director. Mr. Walter Humiston. He had been instrumental in establishing several other such organizations in the different schools in which he had been an instructor, and he proved to be invaluable to the school in organizing the Association. The idea was looked on with great favor by our Principal, Mr. Homer B. Saul, and it was through the effortsof these men, supported by the student body at large, that we have the Association today. The purpose of this Association is to stimulate and further the Athletic talents of J. H. S., by giving each student a voice in the control of Athletics. The students become active members in the Association by the payment of twenty-five cents for each Semester. This entitles each student to a vote for the officers of the Association. The immediate affairs of the Association are governed by a Board of Control which consists of the President, Vice President, Secretary and Treasurer of the Association, the Principal and the Athletic Director of the High School, and one member from each class. In the Spring of 1918 Charles Horne was elected President. Other officers elected were James Hackett, Ruth Buckley, Matthew Horrell. In the Spring of 1919 Russell Lang was elected President, supported by the staff of John Shrum, Ruth Buckley and Vernon Roberts. The officers of the Association for the first semester of this year were Harry Kennedy, President; Daniel O'Connell, Vice President; Ruth Buckley, Secretary, and Vernon Roberts, Treasurer. The present officers are John Shrum, President; Arthur Horn, Vice President; Ruth Buckley, Secretary, and Henry Tillmans, Treasurer. The Personal of the present Board of Control are Professor Saul, Mr. Humiston, Representative of the Senior Class. Adam Fisher, and of the Junior Class, Arthur Horn, the Sophomore class, Kenneth Miller, and the Freshman class, Alfred Amam. It is the hope of the class of 1920 that this Association will continue to prosper and be the great impetus that will bring renown to old J. H. S. in Athletics. —32— 3FnritbaU - laiU By OLIVER HENRY.

Our team won many games in spite of the fact that many of its members were playing for the first time. The defeats which we met had the effect of calling forth a more determined effort on the part of all the members of the team. Another feature for which the players are to be congratulated, is the spirit of real sportsmanship and fair playing which was shown during every contest. The determination of the team to suffer defeat, or win victory honorably, added much to its credit. We wish to take this occasion to gratefully acknowledge the support and encouragement given by the student body, the members of theAlumni, and all the friends of Jeannette High School, in the past Football Season. The prospects for the future are excellent Although a great many of the players are members of the graduating class, and will be sorely missed, yet the men remaining behind are very good, and the material of the class of 24 looks promising. Thus a successful season for next year is expected. 33— ©askpt Sail (Tram By HARRY KENNEDY. Although our High School basketball team did not win all its contested games this year, we feel that we can be justly proud of the result of the season. In all the games fair play and good sportsmanship were upheld and this, combined with a strict adherence to regulations, makes a team of which any school might be proud. Three of the Seniors,—St. Peter, Horrell, and Kennedy, who have done so much for the team, will not be with us next year. However, we are trusting that their places will be filled by men equally as competent. Reed Buckley of the class of 2i, has been elected captain for next season and we feel confident that under such leadership, J. H. S. will keep up its well established record in basket ball.

They were very fortunate in having secured as coach. Miss Bess Campbell, a teacher in the Jeannette Public Schools. Under the efficient leadership of Miss Campbell the girls, who practiced faithfully two evenings a week, soon became very skilled in “systematic teamwork.” During the season a very difficult schedule was signed up and although the girls did not win every game played, considerable credit is due them for their conscientious effort and clever playing. The teams which were played during the winter months included Indiana Normal, and the High Schools of the following towns: Elizabeth, Connellsville, Blairsville and Dun- bar.

Although baseball does not gain the interest and support held by football, the Jeannette High School nine has made excellent showings in the last few years. The 1918 team was selected from a wealth of good material and such men as were a credit to their school were chosen. But when we pass on to the ’19 team we find quite a number of the baseball heroes of the previous year absent. The Graduating Class of 1918 and the call of the army were the chief causes of this “slump” in material, however, the team made a good showing, winning a large majority of the games played. For 1920 we have prospects of a very sucessful season. The material offered by the school gives promise of a strong team, and although a very heavy schedule has been contracted, little fear is entertained for a satisfactory showing this year. To our coach, Walter Humiston, is due great praise, for it is he who has piloted our teams to many victories. We, as a school wish to take this means of expressing our appreciation of his efforts, which have brought such excellent results, obtaining for our school the high standards of good sportsmanship which it now holds. The following is the 1920 team: Reed Buckley, catcher Harry Kennedy, Catcher Klair Ludwig, pitcher John Stark, pitcher John Shrum, 1st base Fred Potts, 1st base Henry Tillmans, 2d base Edward Kratchovil, 3d base Walter Witalis, short stop Foster Rupp outfield -36- Adam Fisher, outfield Theodore Pierson, outfield Kenneth Miller, outfield Junior Storey, outfield Vernon Kealey, outfield. 3Jimiur (Strls Banquet fur thr Jfautball ittru By ROLAND WURTHNER. The first Annual Banquet for the Football men was held on the evening of Nov. 25, 1919. The Banquet was given by the girls of the class of ’21 in honor of the men of the school who had participated in football during the season. The tables were set for thirty-five, in the Domestic Science rooms, which were appropriately decorated for the occasion. After the repast, which, by the way, was fit for a king, had been served. John Shrum, who acted as toastmaster for the evening, gave a short address, and followed by calling on several of the party present who also gave short talks, comparing in a general way some play or practice in football to later life. During an intermission in the speeches, a short musical entertainment was rendered by Mildred Klingensmith, Vernon Kealey and Mary Lamb, which was well received by the “crowd.” Two of the most interesting addresses of the evening were given by Harrold Lathrop and Norman Englehardt, two of the honor guests for the evening. These young men who were visiting boy friends in the school were from Hillsdale. Michigan, and their short but vivid descriptions of school life out in their home state were very interesting, to say the least. The Banquet, which was the first to be given by the Junior girls proved to be of such a great success that plans were immediately made for establishing the feast” as a custom. ahr Athletic “3T Assoriarimt By MATTHEW HORRELL. After the close of the football season, when the J’s were awarded to the football men, the need of an organized “J association was realized. A meeting of all the holders of athletic J’s was called about February 1st, and after a draft of the constitution was drawn up and later accepted, officers were elected and the work of the association was put under way. The purpose of the Association being to promote athletics, raise money and keep up the spirit and honor of the Jeannette High School.

The work of the association is but in its infancy and the importance of its station has not as yet been realized by the student body, but, it is believed that as the association grows older it will become one of the strongest and most useful organizations in Jeannette High School.

The first part of the evening was spent in playing games, and a fine programme was rendered, the main features being,—A Jazz Selection by the Senior Band,—a Ballet Scene by Joe Richardson,—a Selection by the Senior Trio,—and piano selections by Mildred Lamb. After the programme was rendered, lunch was served in the dining room by a committee of Senior girls. The Toastmaster, Adam Fisher after making a short address, called upon the members of the debating teams to do likewise, namely,—James R. Becker; John B. Shrum, Alfred Stoughton, Junior Storey. Others who made addresses were Principal Homer B. Saul, representing the faculty, and Miss Mildred Lamb, representing the Senior Class. Dainty souvenir programmes displaying the class colors, (Blue and Gold) were distributed. On them was the programme and menu for the evening. After all had done full justice to the “eats” we adjourned from the dining room at halfpast eleven o’clock, some finding pleasure in dancing in the Halls, while others helped wash the dishes and make a final clean-up on the “eats.” On October 24, 1919, a party of Seniors and their friends, chaperoned by Mr. Saul, Mr. Humiston and Miss Cooper, started out to visit the spooks. Except for a few, who were probably kept back by fear of ghosts, we all arrived at the Camp Fire Girls’ Club rooms on Seventh street, at eight o’clock that evening. The evenings of the previous week had been spent in decorating the rooms appropriately. The colors of the season, pumpkins, leavesand corn stalks helped to transform the usual dull, gloomy meeting rooms into a bower where the “spooks” might easily be persuaded to haunt for the evening. As the guests entered the realm of subdued lights they almost saw the spirits of the late departed. Inside a booth lit by a flickering candle, sat a witch who greeted everyone who entered with a card which read “Your Future Foretold.” She answered three questions—“When shall I be married,” “To whom,” “Why and Where She also presented each Senior boy with the name of his future wife. The victrola then played most entrancing dance music and all those who preferred to, could trip over the floor, (which had been waxed by the boys that afternoon). Games were played by those who did not dance and this took up most of the evening until someone suggested “eats. At a suitably hour the usual Hallowe’en “goodies,” which had been donated by the Senior girls were served in buffet style. It was in the “wee small hours” when the party was finally broken up. Like all other Senior functions it was a decided success. By ROMAINE SERGEANT. -38- NAME NICKNAME 1. James R. Becker...........“Becker” ..... 2. Margaret Altman........... Pudge” ..... 3.

Owing to the crowded and congested conditions of our school building it has been found necessary to make preparation for more room. Our School Board decided that the best possible arrangement would be to turn over the present high school building to grade work and to erect a new building with all modern equipment and furnishings for high school courses. At the September election the citizens of Jeannette voted for the Bond issue which gave the Board of Directors the authority to borrow $250,000 for the erection of a new high school building, which will be erected on Fourth Street opposite the present High School. The architectural plans, which have been accepted by the Board, provide for two stories and a ground floor, which will in all, contain thirty-two rooms. The gymnasium and the manual training department will be located in the basement. On the second floor there will be class rooms and an auditorium capable of seating one thousand people. The second floor will contain the Science laboratories, the commercial department and the Domestic Science rooms. This building, which is expected to be ready for occupation in 1921, will be one of the largest and best equipped high schools in this part of the state, and one of which the citizens of Jeannette can well afford to be proud. —40— vUir Alumni By SARA JOHNSON. There has always been such a great difference between those yet in High School and those who have gone out. It was hard to “get together” on anything, in athletics, scholastic questions, or any of the multitudinous activities of the High School. Thus, after studying the problem with a zeal and efficiency that is seldom bestowed upon any algebraic equation, the alumni, separately, jointly, and collectively, decided upon an Alumni Association. Its purposes aside from the above mentioned ones, were to preserve interest and lend aid to their “little brothers and sisters” and to provide ways and means for jolly good times. Often before if there had been any manner of getting those dignified members of the present Association, to unbend and hearken to our cries, they might have helped along, especially in athletic work. As soon as their dreams and ours were realized, operations were begun with a dance for the benefit of High School Athletics, followed by a “Movie” benefit. Both of these very usual entertainments brought financial returns and were enjoyed, for they are, notwithstanding their frequency, the most popular forms of amusement. The Alumni guessed well again, for, knowing how partial Jeannette folks are to good music, they had the Irwin Male Quartet, whose music is always appreciated, but never more so than when they were enlisted in the cause of the Association, render an evening’s entertainment. The Alumni are also interested in Literary affairs, for the improvement and culture of the mind is a most fertile field. They held an Open Meeting, in which there was a Home Talent Play and then afterwards they served refreshments. There is a Board of twenty members, ten girls and ten boys, to represent the full mem bership which at present, numbers one hundred. They have an active President, Vice President and Secretary. All the members of this year’s class are expected to join the association, the last week in May, at which time the Alumni are planning to give us a banquet. § rluuil Sajmtm (Cmtrar By GRACE CAMPBELL. The Lyceum Course which was established in Jeannette several years ago in order to further promote a taste for high class entertainment in the town, has proved to be such a great success that its permanence is assured. This season four of the best entertainments possible to obtain were booked by the officials in charge. The first entertainment was composed of “The Orpheus Four,” a male quartette of exceptional merit. Alton Packard, the cartoonist and artist who was secured for the second entertainment, easily upheld his reputation as “The Prince of Entertainers.” Humor and cleverness were well combined. The third number of the course was in the form of a lecture delivered by Dr. Edward Amhurst Ott, a speaker of exceptional ability. His theme was “Victory and the Results of the War,” a very appropriate and timely subject, of national interest. The New York Madrigal Singers composed of four voices and an accompanist, made up the last entertainment of the course. Their clever originality and dramatic abilities left a very agreeable impression upon the minds of the people fortunate enough to have attended. As the course is conducted without profit, all the gate receipts can be utilized in the securing of the best talent, thus assuring entertainments of the highest standing and ability. -II n k p a By IDA PEDEN. Buss: You seem to be intellectually fa- tigued. Lib: Yes, my feet are hurting awfully. “It’s the little things that tell,” said a Senior as she pulled her young sister from under the sofa. Dedicated to Becker. Lives of seniors all remind us. We can make our lives sublime, And, by asking foolish questions Pass the recitation time. Miss Cooper: When did Tennyson write his mort de’Arthur? M. Altman: Before he died. Minnie: How do you feel this morning? Alma: Oh! Min., I swallowed a dime. Can you notice any change in me? Miss Ross: (in musical appreciation)— What instrument plays the footnotes?” Marie Pritchett: “The shoe-hom.” Overheard in Chapel: “This morning boys and girls, I propose to offer you an epitome of the life of Abra-hame Lincoln. Perhaps some of you are too young to grasp the meaning of the word epitome. Well, epitome, boys and girls, is in its significance synonymous with synopsis. Miss Lauffer: “What are you giving me?” “Dan : Darnedifino.” Mildred Lamb in History: “In olden times, the person who was offended punished the criminal himself, especially in a case of murder.” Miss Hill, in Algebra Class, ’21: “Harry don’t say ‘laying’ when you want to ‘lie.’ ” Miss Cooper to English Class: “I shall be tempted to give this class a test before long.” Matt Horrell: Yield not to tempta- tion.” Peep: Have you any invisible hair-nets? Salesperson: Yes. Peep: May I see them? Mr. Stump: John, do you have your lesson this morning? John Shrum: Well, I went over it. Mr. Stump: The next time, try going through it. Miss Lauffer (in Caesar): “Will all those who are absent please report at the desk after class?” The cows are in the meadow The sheep are in the grass But all the silly little geese Are in the Junior class. Absence makes the heart grow fonder. So they always say; That’s why we love our teachers beter The days they stay away. Overheard in Senior History: “The captured confederate soldiers were brought up north and put in Union suits.” Faculty Motto: “They shall not pass.” Algy met a bear, The bear was bulgy, The bulge was Algy. Irate Mother: I’ll teach you to kiss my daughter! Youth: You’re too late—I’ve learned al- ready. Soph: Say Prof., How long could I live without brains.. Prof.: Well, that remains to be seen. ’20: “We’re coming to a tunnel—are you afraid?” ’22: “Not if you take that cigarette out of your mouth.” “Peep,” in English—“Alfred Tennyson lived in seclusion several years after his death.” John Shrum (at Oakmont) : I could kiss you if we were not in a canoe. She: Sir! Take me ashore immediately. Ah! said William Tell as he watched his missile Pierce the apple, “what an Arrow escape” Oliver Henry—“Having eyes and hearing not: having ears and seeing not.” We editors may dig and toil Till our finger-tips are sore. But some poor prune is sure to say, I’ve heard that joke before. -42— ppamtrea at Nmnt By MINERVA MILLER. When I look back through the years I find that the noon hour was the most delightful part of my High School life. School was dismissed at twelve o’clock and the boys and girls took their lunches to their rooms and ate them. During the first two years of our course the boys and girls ate in the same room, but there were too many for one room, so the boys ate in one room and the girls in another. About 12:30 the amusements of the hour began. Some of the studious Freshmen worked, but the dignified Seniors gave performances to amuse the Sophomores. These performances usually consisted of impersonations, cartoonist work, jokes and of athletic stunts. Our best acrobat was John Shrum, “The Human Fly, of J. H. S. He would climb out of the window and walk on a ledge about six inches wide, from one side of the building to the other. If there were icicles on the ledge he would bring them in and present them to the Freshmen as souvenirs. After many stunts of this kind, the amusements took a graver aspect. Three of our debaters brought their lunch and they would proceed to argue on such questions as, “Resolved, that Seniors should have school only three days a week.” Resolved, that Sophomores should not initiate the Freshman,” etc. While this was going on the French students who brought their lunch translated their lesson. They disturbed the debaters when they remained in the same room, so they usually went out in the hall to study. About 12:50 the teachers began to arrive and this put an end to these pleasures. The pupils then spent the rest of their time in looking out the windows. This often afforded much amusement, especially on days when the ground was slippery and the passers-by could scarcely keep on their feet. At one :twenty everything quited down again and work was once more resumed. —43— Humor (Elaaa Jti'ius Reed Buckley . Ruth Buckley........ Florence Bird ... Angeline Dublino . . Martha Driestadt . . .
