Principal of Jeannette High School We, the Class of 1922, respectfully dedicate this Year Book, in appreciation of his efforts, not only as a faithful instructor, but also as a fair-minded gentleman. 2 Mr. E. W. Long Superintendent of Jeannette Public Schools. E. W. Long has been superintendent of the Jeannette Public Schools for seven years, and, we, the Class of 1922, are glad to know that he has been elected recently to serve another term in this capacity. Mr. Long has worked untiringly in his efforts to secure for the schools their present high standing, therefore, we feel that in him we have one who will fill the office of Superintendent capably. 3 THE FACULTY MISS ANNE G.

The sudden death in December, 1921, of Miss Elizabeth Johnson, who was a teacher of Domestic Science in Jeannette High School during the years 1919-1921, shocked and grieved the entire student body and faculty. Because of her faithfulness as a teacher, her ever-evident cheerfulness and her readiness to help others, she found a place in the hearts of all who knew her. They miss her and grieve for her. In the years to come, they will think of her tenderly and lovingly. 7 THE EDITING STAFF Editor-in-Chief ...............................................

The authority of the noble with his title and his coat of arms is that of a king on a smaller scale, and he likewise must not oppress his tenants. The significance of the “J” to the student may well be compared to the crown of the king, or to the title and coat of arms of the noble. To him, the student, the “J” signifies Jeannette High School, which in turn means Education with its advantages, reached by the road of Hard Work and Persistent Efforts, a road also marked by milestones of Pleasure. Like the king and the noble, the student has this opportunity of education bestowed upon him by the people of the town. Whether he uses this power advantageously or not and reaches his goal, depends entirely upon himself. But like the king or noble, is it not his duty to be a blessing rather than a bane to the community which has given him this opportunity? Is it not right that this community expect something in return for its gift? This gratitude may be shown by upholding the honor of the school and making it an institution of which to be proud. This is manifested along both athletic and scholastic lines. In athletics, there are struggles and contests to maintain the standard of the school. As a reward for these efforts a “J” is given. A like reward is given for participation in literary contests. While this letter is much coveted, it is not so much the letter itself as its significance which appeals to its aspirant. The mere possession of the “J” tells of the struggles of Youth and proclaims the 18 fact that something has been achieved. No, this does not always mean an actual victory followed by success and glory. But is not achievement, the accomplishing of something to the best of our ability, of as much value as an easy victory, which gains for us nothing except empty praise and the “pride which apes humility?” As it is impossible for everyone to participate in such contests, still each one may do his part. But how? Simply by doing his work well, and, by keeping up his own rank, maintain or even raise the standing of the school. For who is there among the students with so little spirit that he will not uphold the honor of his school? A high standard will give the kingdom of the student, the school, prestige among other schools. This benefits all who may wish to further their education elsewhere, for then each one will find his work acceptable in the sight of colleges and universities. His “J,” the emblem of his school, will be an “Open Sesame” to greater fields of learning. However, whether he end his training with a High School education or continue it by attending a college, he may still benefit the community. Perhaps not by taking a direct part in the city government, but by being a good citizen. Here his education will assert itself in his intelligent voting and understanding of civic affairs. As the time of the king and of the noble is not all occupied with the management of affairs, neither is that of the student. There are many good times connected with his school life. Of the greatest value, though, are the friendships which are made, for who would desire to go through life without friends—those who comfort, and encourage, and, by friendly competition, spur one to higher things? In this case, the “J” is a symbol of the pleasures and intimate acquaintances which are a part of the students’ life. Therefore it is easy to understand why the “J” is so respected by any member of Jeannette High School. It is a symbol of the education which opens for him a field of great achievement; it typifies the pleasures and friends which nave meant so much to him in striving towards his goal. All this is of great value to him in later life, a value well explained by the saying Today is yesterday’s pupil.” The “J” and the education it typifies, having become a task of “yesterday,” will give him more courage and confidence to confront the problems of “today.” (Hass Bmu} When Good Seniors Get Together Give a rouse then in the Maytime For a class that knows no fear. Turn school time into playtime With the sunlight of good cheer. For it’s always fair weather When good Seniors get together, With the books under cover, And a good song ringing clear. For we know the world is glorious, And the goal a golden thing; And the Profs are not censorious When the Seniors have their fling. And life slips its tether, When good Seniors get together. With a Hip! Hip! Hurrah! For the class of twenty-two. 19 Extrarts 3f tmix a itaru Caryll Burhenn Freshman Year Sept. 7, 1918. Well, that’s over! The first! How often I've heard of it and it didn't fall one bit below my expectations, High School at last! A Freshman—I nearly said, full fledged, but from the looks we got in the hall, the commands we received from the Sophs, I suppose they think us the merest fledgelings. One hundred eight of us, rushing from first floor to third, from attic to basement, and back to second again, with pockets full of pencils and lunches, hearts full of excitement, and about twenty-five per cent of us with Harrison City road and Penn Township mud on our feet. Sept. 12, 1918. We are now an organized class. But such a class meeting as we had! The best way to describe it, is to say it sounded like the Tower of Babel. However it became evident from the tumult that “Bob” Ringer had received the presidency, and that our class colors are blue and white. A stranger looking at one of our classes, might believe we had a number of shaven convicts in our midst. But they are merely the victims of the Sophomore’s initiation. Woe to the Freshman with long trousers! “The Sophomores ’ll git you, if you don’t watch out!” April 10, 1919. Of all things! The Freshmen had their open meeting of literary society with the Sophomores tonight, and the judges pronounced it a tie. Next to being beaten, this is the most aggravating thing that could have happened However, the Freshmen have one consolation, that the odds were against them, since they were lower classmen. Sophomore Year March 31, 1920. Jeannette is the owner of a beautiful, shiny, silver cup. We are all so proud of it, for it means that Jeannette is the winner of her section in the Inter-High School debates. How sad the people of those other schools must feel.. Storey, on one of one of the teams, and Dolores as alternate, are both from our class. That awful suspense while the judges’ decision was being read! And how he knew it, and kept us in suspense. But—when the third vote was announced as the second for us, it seemed that the very roof was torn off by the explosion of yells and cheers that broke from Jeannette. I was never so glad of anything in all my life. And we did it when we were Sophomores at that. Junior Year Sept. 14, 1920. Midnight! How tired I am! Just in from a class wiener roast at George Connor’s. Although we went in machines, we danced so long, and played three deep so hard that I am too tired to think of diaries, or anything, but bed. Oct. 20, 1920. While I write tonight I am interested in watching my hand carry its new class ring across the paper, and though I am poorer by six dollars, I am richer by a lovely, golden seal that indicates my membership in the class of 1922. Dec. 6, 1920. This is actually the first moment I’ve been able to sit down quietly today. Our football banquet was a grand success, and it’s lovely to sit here and think 20 over the busy day we’ve had. First, early this morning, the general mobilization of table linen, dishes, decorations, food and the one hundred and one other necessities for a banquet. We dashed to classes, breathless and hot from the kitchen, and the moment class was over, away we’d tear again. Shall I ever forget that frantic la t half hour? Little tasks we had neglected, were hastily finished. Thanks to Miss Johnson, the banquet was dandy. At ten o’clock we were all gently shoved out of the building and started on our way home. I’m so glad it all came off well, for this is the first of our really important class events. April 28, 1921. Oh, these late entries! The worst of keeping a diary is sitting up late when one comes home, tired out, to record the things that were such fun while they lasted. B t I must say how fine “Mrs. Temple’s Telegram,” our A. A. play, was. All through the streets, coming home, one could hear remarks such as “Oh! it was the best yet.” “Wasn’t Roberta Davis funny as Mrs. Brown?” and “Rags” certainly did make love in a chivalrous manner!” “Didn’t Jeff prevaricate naturally?” “Dolores surely made a charming Mrs. Temple.” “Don’t you think Luther made a gallant soldier?” I simply must stop writing for to-night, because I have all my geometry to do yet. June 1, 1921. There have been “Proms,” and there will be Proms,” but there is none can ever compare with ours. At least, that’s what we believe, (by “we,” I mean every one in our class.) Mr. Humiston did help us so much. It was through his advice and guidance that the class succeeded in having a wonderful “Prom.” A perfect June night! We couldn’t have wished for a better. Everyone drove to and from the Country Club in machines through the wonderful, clear, moonlight. Three and a half hours of dancing; and now it’s all over. After all the great expectations, hopes for a good time, fears of disappointment, the joy of having lived through it is ours. What lovely dresses there were. Oh! it was wonderful. What a memory it will be to hold in our hearts and minds, and to look back to, later on! Senior Year Sept. 6, 1921. Our last year in High! How the years have flown. When I look back through my diary and read my first impressions of High School, it surely is funny. How I stood in awe of the Seniors! And now I’m one myself. A solemn Senior (?) Our class has shrunk since it started. Thirty-seven of us have survived the trials and tribulations of High School. We had such fun the first morning—giving the Freshies the “once over,” speculating on the new teachers, joking with the old ones, choosing seat neighbors, grabbing for the best and cleanest books and solving schedule puzzles. Now I must lay this aside and get at the first batch of assignments for tomorrow. Latin, first, as an old acquaintance, and then my new friend (or foe) chemistry. Nov. 30, 1921. Today the funniest thing happened in American History Class. We were all cozily packed away in our cubby hole (its official name is Room 11) when, suddenly, there was a crash, a bang, and the splintering of glass. There was, Henry Myers, sprawling on the floor and the window glass gone from the window next to him. Henry, evidently, had tried to fall out of the window, but his attempt failed—the window was too small! The reason? No one knows, but it has been said that Henry saw a pretty girl down on the street. He fell! (Continued on Page 38) 21 A Seniora Brrmn Harriet S. Hamilton The year was 1943 the place was Jeannette High School. I stood on the threshold of a newly built modern school building. There sweeping the steps was Russell Garman, as the new janitor. All the students were walking up to the third floor in a stately fashion. At the end of this procession were Ted Pierson and Nellie Nestler, still trying to graduate. I followed to see if the school was conducted then as it was in our day. Going through the door I found myself in a marvelous auditorium. Taking a seat in the rear of the room I studied the seating arrangement. From every seat one could see the stage without using a spyglass which was necessary when our class as Freshmen occupied the rear seats. To the left of me I noticed a small room and hearing voices, I listened. .In the teacher’s voice I recognized Ruth Peters who was teaching History. I just thought to myself how in the Old Days Ruth had always been so interested in History. As I mused, a wonderful pipe organ began to play softly. The organist was no other than Robert Davis playing for the students of J. H. S. I pricked up my ears, certainly I knew the tune. Yes, it was the old favorite, “Love’s Old Sweet Song.” Memories came rushing; I thought of the time when we, by imperfect singing and accompanied by a much abused instrument misnamed the piano, murdered this inspiring song. After the chapel exercises some special numbers were rendered. A stirring speech on a topic of that day was next given by a Sophomore. It was delivered in a manner that would put the most silver tongued political orator to shame. This ease of manner and delivery had been obtained by the student enjoying the benefits of the Course in Public Speaking which we had needed so much. I well remember the flutters in the class when we, as stage frightened Seniors received our diplomas. Although I was sitting in the last row in the auditorium everything was perfectly clear. I fancied I heard Mr. Stump exclaim in his sonorous voice so that the fortunates in the rear of the auditorium would know their names were included on that famous list headed, “I wish to see the following after chapel.” - ■ A member of the Senior Class, seeing I was a stranger, introduced himself to me and kindly offered to show me the building. He first showed me the study hall. No wonder Jeannette High School was turning out the best pupils in the country. The next to be inspected was the Domestic Science Room. There at the head of this department was Lillian Manson who had always cooked such delicious food. This department was now of practical advantage, all the teachers and students were served with their mid-day luncheon from eleven to one. At last I was taken to the gymnasium. This was modern in every way and I saw a real basketball game. The gym was also the social center of the school, and dances were held under the supervision of the faculty and the students’ parents. This was all too much for me and I sank into oblivion. After a time I opened my eyes. Where was I? The familiar objects in my room detached themselves from the gloom and I awoke to the realization that my vision of the night was only a dream. 22 “(Elass of '22 Bernadette Gerard I will, by a few lines, now try to convey, What some of the ’22’s are doing today. Esther Ressler, in chemistry, has won great fame, But to us ’22’s she is always the same. Foster Rupp now in Athletics is known, Junior Storey in baseball has won great renown. Miss Wilma Hare acts on the stage, While with Helen Eicher, globe tro ting’s the rage. Emery Soles and Carl Mehaffey are editing “Life,” Instead of these boys a-hunting a wife. As a doctor Stuart Suter has attained great success, Ruth Peters as a writer has not a bit less. Henry Myers is the chef of a big ocean liner, And Eva Stevenson is working as a costume designer, Thomas Deluzio owns one or two mills, And the hearts of his workmen with pleasure he fills. Now our old friend “Jeff” Kealey in France owns a mine, Mary Lobody we find chief of the Pennsy line. While our friends Olga Bozzan and Joe Adamson, Their great works of art and fame we admire. Lillie Geisman, the dear little elf, Is traveling the rockies all by her young self. On the playgrounds behold Harriet Hamilton does well, George Connor is a salesman with candy to sell. George Ferree is building a tile swimming pool. While Lillian Manson is now teaching a large cooking school. Russell Garman and also Miss Emma Gaub, To lecture in Kansas and Missouri do journ. Dolores Myers now edits a journal. While Jennie Levine’s trouble with books is eternal. Kathryn Shaw is a cashier in a bank, As a basketball coach Kenneth Miller has rank. Miss Davis leads Suffragists of whom she’s quite proud, Her ambition lies now in addressing a crowd. And now we will hear from our friend Dot Walthour, A beautiful song by her “Mid-night Chorus.” Caryll Burhenn is married to a rich owner of coal, While Reed Buckley is sending ore from a Duluth hole. Harold Prothero is a sport with autos galore. With a silk skirt and straw hat, could you expect more? Now Park Roeper, a nice lad is he, Holding down a good job, a life-saver at sea. Tom Amann in Iambic Pentameter writes, While Luther Vozel in aeroplanes makes many high flights. I have, by a few lines, now tried to convey, What some of the ‘22’s are doing today. 23 (6, ( . (Stria Esther Menz The Senior girls were unanimously in favor of forming a club, therefore they assembled for this purpose one evening after school. At this time, it was decided that we should meet every two weeks, and at each meeting two of the girls should entertain. Lots were drawn for partners. The problem confronting the members was the selection of a suitable name, and after many suggestions we finally decided to call it the GG Club. On Monday, October io, 1921, our first meeting was held. Most of the members were present and we had the first of many enjoyable meetings. We always adjourned early so that our club would not interfere with our school work. We were all very enthusiastic about the organization and were always anxious for the next meeting. The College Club of Greensburg invited the members of the Senior Girls’ Club to a “Stunt Party’’. We were at ouV wits end to think of a suitable stunt, and the time being limited we were unab’le to prepare anything very elaborate. In spite of all this our stunt (a ukulele concert without ukuleles) was well received and we enjoyed the party as much as we did our club meetings. 5br 9tub?nt 0 SmlUnqitg Mary Lobody To study, or not to study; that is the question. Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The rage and anger of the wrathful teachers, Or to concentrate and learn the outrageous lessons, And by so doing, know them. To study; to learn; No more; and by learning to say we end The failures and the parent’s angry words The pupil is heir to. ’Tis a consummation Devoutly to be wished. To study; to learn; To learn? Perchance to recite. Ay, there’s the rub; For after all that study, what unknown questions May the teacher ask when we have shuffled to our feet? There’s the respect that makes calamity of such long study. But who would bear the teacher’s frowns, the professor’s talks, The report card’s marks, the parent’s disapproval, When he might end the trouble by quitting school? Who’d these hardships bear, to growl and fret under the weary work, But that the fear of later life, The undiscovered future, in which may lie success, makes us hesitate And rather bear the burdens of study and work Than face the future without the advantages of an education. Thus love of success makes cowards of us all; And thus the resolution to quit is Overwhelmed by the determination to win And we struggle ever onward to the goal. 24 Mint 3 fflaa a Svifc 31 whmuilit Shat Ruth Peters Joseph Adamson—The Rhine was noted for its rhinoceros.

Ressler The Girls’ Glee Club of Jeannette High School is under the supervision of Miss Esther Tucker who is a most capable and well liked leader. Although this is Miss Tucker’s first year in Jeannette, her splendid and untiring efforts have influenced the members of the Club to such an extent that they have entered upon their work this year with as much zeal and enthusiasm as in previous years. Just before the Christmas vacation the girls with the help of the High School boys gave a Christmas Carol Entertainment, the result of which has been most worthy of praise and commendation. The Glee Club is expected to give a musical production during the commencement exercises as has been the custom for the past few years. We wish that this talented organization may grow in members and quality as it has grown up to the present time, and that Glee Clubs of future years shall continue to be strong features of Jeannette High School. 26 (Eli? liuib S duwl ©rdiralra Eva Stevenson The High School Orchestra, organized in 1915 by a few students who wished to devote more of their time for the good of the school, is directed this year by Miss Esther Tucker. Through the efficient supervision of Miss Tucker it has become a successful orchestra and holds an enviable position in all High School entertainments. Because of the interest of the student body the orchestra is permitted to play a few selections during music period on Friday afternoons. We wish that this organization may grow in number and talent and remain as it is now, one of the strongest organizations of the High School. The members of the orchestra are: Edith Noss Albert Santy Alvin Hoenshel Thelma McNall . . . . Eugene Laughlin . . . James Wherry Ross Bullock Jane Kealey Ivie Ashbaugh Berta Marie Vater . . Everett Standish . . . Thomas Deluzio . . . . Joseph Michaux . . . . Clarence Henry . . . 27 Sonm Jfftup Roberta Davis Room Five, located on the second flbor of the present High School Building, is the private property of the Seniors. It is a large, airy, sunshiny room. One may always say “sunshiny” on Monday morning, when, be . ween one-half minute of, or after nine, about thirty of the thirty-seven Seniors come racing into the room. Hats, coats, goloshes and books become terribly confused. All that can be heard is Miss Cooper, coming to the Girls’ Cloak Room, and calling, “Gir-rls, Gir-rls!” Miss Cooper, I forget to mention, is the faculty adviser of the Senior Class. Her duty is to watch us, keep us quiet, have us study, advise us and lower our deportment mark. It is impossible to keep us quiet. As for having us study, Miss Cooper does not have any need to worry because her little flock of 1922 is the brightest class she ever knew. Because of this brilliancy, our adviger is not called on for advice very often. However Miss Cooper does absolutely shine in the art of deducting five per cent from every person’s deportment mark at least once a day. It will be surprising if a few of the Seniors do not become noted architects or builders. I feel sure there isn’t any reason why some of them should not have gained considerable knowledge in the art of building—the means being the innocent little pencil-sharpener, which is so conveniently placed near the window over-looking the new High School—Vain hopes! Those beautiful mahogany desks—if they were as comfortable as they are pretty—what a blessing they would be! But how convenient they are, for what Senior, when terribly hungry, has not reached to the bottom of his desk to find the softest wad of “chewed” gum? Room Five is at its height of noise and joy when a Senior Class meeting is being held. Groups gather here and there all over the room. The President is at his wit’s end to have some of us keep quiet. And when we are quiet, and get to business, there certainly is a lot of discussion. Some thjnk “Yes,” others “No,” some don’t think, and the rest don’t care. And when the vote is taken, it generally comes out very close, but in favor of the winning side. As soon as the meeting is adjourned, Miss Cooper gets out her watch, and tells us that we have three minutes to leave the room. At the end of the three minutes, Miss Cooper opens the door of the Girls’ Cloak Room, and sees about ten girls sitting, in the coat partitions talking over the day’s events. “Now, Girls,” she begins, “You get right out of here and stay in until four o’clock.” Until we get out, choose a desk, get a book, and stop laughing, it is four o’clock. By this time, all the discussion of the Class Meeting is forgotten. So, at the end of the school term, when we part, some to continue with their studies in other schools, and the rest to enter upon the work for which their school studies have fitted them, I feel sure that the incidents and happenings of Room Five will always be a pleasant memory in the minds of all the class of 1922. 28 Inuarr Wilma Hare FRESHMEN:—BEWARE, when you have passed your High School infancy and put away Freshmen things, of heads inflated by the idea that you are “IT.” You have three long years to travel and in that time BEWARE, the bumps and jolts of High School life. BEWARE, when you have doffed your greenery, that you do not assume the yellow of the Soph. BEWARE, when you have left the shelter of your Freshmen nursery, of Hum’s long reach, his flying chalk and all those little tests that come upon those who have cut their milk teeth and assumed the youthful state of Sophomore in Jeannette High. BEWARE, when you are allowed to have parties, of kissing games and such like pastimes. These our present Sophomores have striven to avoid, for, besides being unhygienic they are childlike and you should BEWARE of all things that may be so described. In another year you will have begun to grow and having passed the first fresh green of High School Springtime, you will have assumed some little ripeness of Sophomore’s early summer. SOPHOMORES:—BEWARE, when you have passed the Halfway House of High School life, of thinking things are easy. BEWARE, of easy sledding. Take note of what that’s done to those whose shoes you’ll fill. BEWARE, of that easily accessible flunk list made famous, (or should we say infamous) by the Class of ’23. BEWARE, of all those tempting summer sundaes and early fall w'ener roasts that will use up your father’s money. This you will need for more wholesome and abiding things such as class rings. Junior Proms and pennants. BEWARE, of little differences between you and your “best girl” or “boy friend” for when the Junior Prom comes ’round you’ll want to go with just that one you’ve always had at parties. JUNIORS:—BEWARE, of all that puffed up superiority usually assumed by Seniors but successfully avoided by the Class of ’22. BEWARE, of the responsibility which falls apparently like the “Mantle of Elijah,” but really as gently as t’ e gentle rain from heaven upon the earth beneath. BEWARE, of Miss Cooper’s 5 per cent discounts, and when she tells you so, keep quiet. Don’t risk another by asking, “What for?” BEWARE, of those stray necessities known to the 3. O. S. (Secret Order of Seniors) as Cupid’s Darts. The evil that they do iive after them, the good is buried with their bones, (i. e.) Kenny and Helen: Caryll and Harold; Esther and Joe; and several others too numerous to mention. BEWARE again, of those gay nights spent at Turners or the Cab. for the mornings that follow after leave you regretful for Trig, and Chem. BEWARE again, of your honors, those hard earned rewards of four years bitter service. They are sensitive things that without full attention on your part “will fold their tents like Arabs and silently flit away.” BEWARE, too, of those lost days. They have passed and you are in running trim for the last. Sprint up! Keep your wind! And pass the scratch! Applauded by those who have made up the interested specators along the road. 29 SENIORS:—BEWARE, when you havd out interest and at heart have fought.

Nothing was left undone to make the affair a success for we wished to show the boys that their efforts were appreciated. The banquet was held in the hall of Fourth Street Building. The members of the football team together with their coach, Mr. Leinbach, Mr. Humiston, the Junior teacher, and Mr. Saul, the principal, were the guests. Arthur Horn, the captain of the football team, was toastmaster. Toasts were given by each member of the team, and also by Mr. Leinbach, Mr. Saul and Mr. Humiston. The toasts were very humorous. This banquet was a success and much credit was due to Miss Johnson, the Domestic Science teacher, who gave us her aid in the preparation of the menu. With the help of the boys everythi ng was soon restored to order, and the end of the evening found the Junior girls very happy for they felt confident that their efforts had not been in vain.

Freshmen; For the Juniors to follow it through. Farewell Teachers who have pushed us through, F arewell! F arewell! 30 Farewell! NnmtttaltmtB 3Fnr Jhp ?£all of JFmnr Junior Storey We, the class of ”22 before considering our own merits and demerits wish to reserve a special niche in the Hall of Fame for our mentors—those who have guided our wayward feet through a perilous four-year journey, namely the Faculty of Jeannette High School. We, the Seniors, having never been conspicuous on the “flunk list,” feel that we have thirty-seven reasons, good, bad and indifferent for nominating our entire personnel to places among the immortals. As our space is limited we will just shut our eyes and draw a name here and there. Our nominations are: “Sky” Rupp—our “little Napoleon,” lightest but one of the mightiest fullbacks in Scholastic circles, and conqueror of many hearts in J. H. S. “Sky” is also a favorite with the faculty, especially his English teacher, who accuses him of being really clever. Roberta Davis, famous for her double action tongue, whose marks never did her justice. She admits it herself. “Rags” Garman, our peppy cheer leader, who did so much to encourage the grid warriors. “Rags” has a marcelled hair comb which makes him the envy of Esther Oppenheimer, Dorothy Beal and all the rest of the Sophomore flappers. “Rags” is also a firm believer in the follow maxim: “If studies interfere with social engagements cut out the studies.” “Kenny” Miller, fl e boy with the big smile, and star musician of the Senior Class. His musical ability is directed, for the most part, toward the drawing forth of sweet strains of music—Hawaiian and otherwise—from his “uke.” “Kenny” was hurt in the great battle with Norwin, and all the pretty girls of J. H. S. made his convalescence quite endurable. Dolores Myers, our editor-in-chief, who first broke into print in the lovelorn column of a county sear newspaper. What did she ask? You’ll never know! “Jeff” Kealey, our football captain and quarterback, who led his men to glory for old J. H. S. Further proof of courage he gives us twice a week when when he invades the wilds of Fort Pitt where dwells his lady fair. Mary Lobody, our class baby, just sweet sixteen and “everything.” She’s always up near the front in average, too. Luther Vozel, our Adonis, and the only local rival of Ted Shawn. Olga Bozzan—short on hair but long on “pep. The star of our French class, she shrugs her shoulders with inherited perfection. Joseph Adamson, small, but oh, boy! You should see him vamp Esther Menz. Although possessed of a flaming coiffure, which, by the way, makes him the only rival of Olga Bozzan, his sweet disposition remains unruffled even when the History Prof, tells him he is all wrong. Emery Soles is our amateur photographer. Look pleasant, please. Thomas Deluzio, poet, musician and druggist to be. Poetry and music are a pleasure, but the drug business pays. Tom sold a poem once, but up to date nobody has signed him up for a flute tour. “Dot” Walthour—she of the curly locks. “Dot” was assistant cheer leader this year and has the leading part of “Peg” in “Peg O’ My Heart.” Emma Gaub, captam of the Girls’ Basketball team this year and one of the shining lights of the girls’ teams for the past three years. Emma is also the star commercial student. 31 Stuart Suter, the only boy in the Senior class who has had the courage to face four years of Latin. To Stuart also goes the prize for asking questions in English class. He must know the whys and wherefores of everything, which is, indeed, a fait to be admired. Stuart was a member of the Senior debating team in the open meeting against the Juniors. Ruth Peters—she of the masculine voice and actions. Ruth's recitations have brought applause and admiration on many occasions and her attempts to vamp Stuart in French class have caused some anxious and uncomfortable moments.

OUR JUNIOR PROM Harold Prothero The Junior Prom of the Jeannette Hight School of the class of ’22 was held at the Greensburg Country Club, June the first, 1921. The committee in charge was Helen Eicher, Mary Lobody, Vernon Kealey, Junior Storey, and Harold Prothero. Not only must credit be given to the committee, but to the class as well, for their hearty co-operation and generous funds for making our Prom the climax of Junior proms. The quotation of Lowell, “What is so rare as a day in June,” might well be changed to “What is so rare as a night in June.” The night was perfect with a large moon shining over the hills which nestle about the club house. The dance started at nine o’clock and by nine-thirty most of the couples had arrived and the Grand March commenced, led by Vernon Kealey and by Grace Leyh. Favors were distributed during the Grand March, flowers on paper wands being given to the girls and pennant-canes to the boys. The ballroom was very attractive in its spring furnishings and so many attractive young girls in their bright new Prom dresses, which added a note of color to the scene. Punch was served during the evening and many took advantage of the cool verandas between dances. McVay’s Orchestra furnished the music. The patrons and patronesses for the affair included, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Long, Dr. and Mrs. W. O. Linhart, Dr. and Mrs. H. Ney Prothero, Mr. and Mrs. M. O. Shuster, Dr. and Mrs. J. H.

Soles Although a subject closely affiliated with Class History, I shall endeavor to present each happening as a scene before you. As we look back over a period of four years in the month of September 1918, our mind's eye sees a picture never to be forgotlen. Or perhaps I should say Pictures, but if there is one year in a High School Student’s life that stands out more than any other from the Scenery standpoint it is our Freshman year. Just for a minute, picture a group of boys and girls, reluctantly starting from their homes on a certain September morning much on the same order as we were sent to school for the first time in our lives, with our little ties or bonnets just so, only this time we are sporting long trousers for the first time, which naturally makes us so much larger. After a seemingly long walk we arrive at the school and are undecided which door to enter, but finally choose the large front one as there are some fellows at the side entrance that we do not care to pass just then. Once inside we removed our hats and walked slowly and silently up the steps and along tire hall, not knowing just exactly where we were go ng, but all the time realizing we were furnishing entertainment for the upper-classmen who were standing by, sizing us up, and, curious though it seems, they looked to be twice the regular size. Finally not being harmed, we meet up with a large pleasant man, seemingly of about six foot six inch stature, (However we had to reduce this after a day or so) who showed us to the room set apart for us. Once inside we felt as relieved as if we had shut the rest of the world behind locked doors, as now we had finished the first of a series of pictures, which showed a green hue. No wonder they are known as Freshmen. Our next scene will take place several days later, on Fourth Street near the school building where an army of Sophs, were gathered together with fun making their only thought. It became highl'y entertaining when they started a free for all Barber Shop on the side walk wit r the customers, hustling, away with half a haircut, while nearby the long trousers that were making their nrst appearance were undergoing a shortening process by being rolled up. Resistance was offered in certain cases by a display of umbrellas or whatever might be in hand, but to no avail as we were doomed for the hazing and received it with little resistance. This will serve as a picture of our initiation which tended to eliminate some of the greenness. Our social functions furnished a variety of scenes which are of an everyday nature, one of which will serve to bring before you some idea of the scenes portrayed. Our Junior Prom held at the Greensburg Country Club was an affair worthy of note, and when I bring before you the scene as I saw it, of some of the young men stepping out for the first time with a lady friend, displaying a great deal of bashfulness, and a tendency of keeping out of sight of their neighbors for fear of the shower of questions put at them next day. But this was all forgotten once at the club, and the ladies with all their fineries and the young men with their white trousers and dark coats formed a scene worthy of note. 33 Class room scenes are numerous but I think it best that we here speak of the Things that remind us of J. H. S. rather than the Scenes. Most every day one calls on his knowledge of things in general to help him over hard places in life, and just then we realize that this is a reminder of the things we learned in High School. When one engages in conversation with learned people we realize at once that here is a trace of J. H. S. that helps our understanding along educational lines. Is not this after all, the best reminder of Jeannette High School? She fflfrurr ISnast Joseph Adamson Since each class is allowed to have one party a month, the Senior Class planned to hold a wiener roast as the first party of the year. “Where are we going? “How are we going? “What time?” These were the questions which were heard in the Senior Room, one day last September. It was arranged by the committee in charge to hold the party at Ferree’s farm near Adamsburg. A happy crowd of Seniors boarded the seven o’clock car that evening. We did not mind the mile walk from the car to the Ferree home, for we were even then planning more good times that we could have during our last year in High School. When we reached the field, a large bon fire was lighted by the industrious members of the class. The fire light was so bright that we could play games by it. When the fire had burned down we roasted the wieners and made sandwiches. The committee brought forth other “eats,” which, likewise, were devoured. When everyone had appeased his appetite, we went back to the house and danced. Miss Tucker, our music instructor, entertained us with several solos. It began to rain, and some thought we would have to stay there all night, but it soon stopped and the stars came out. After we thanked our host, we started down the dusty road towards Penn. On our way home, we sang songs and gave our High School yells. Although it was quite late, and we were walking along a country road, and in a dark night, we saw no ghosts. The wiener roast was one of those gDod times which will never be forgotten in the history of the class of ’22. THE SILENT DRAMA He ..............................?????

June 8 Extracts from a Diary Con inued from Page 21. Both literally and figuratively speaking. And who would have believed it? I’m sure I wouldn’t. Dec. 17, 1921. Tonight we had the first High School dance that we have ever had confined strictly to the students and faculty. However, all indications are that, as the “News-Dispatch” would say, “a good time was enjoyed by all.” The Monroe Six made their debut and gained enthusiastic commendation. Almost the entire school attended and the informality and good cheer made it a most delightful affair from beginning to end. Feb. 23, 1921. Not much to say today. We were measured for our caps and gowns, in every size imaginable. This is surely a foretaste of Commencement. These things are just as certain signs of that event as robins are of spring. From now on. they will come thick and fast. It makes me feel rather sad, when I think of saying good-bye to this old High. May 10, 1922. You poor, dear Diary. I know I haven’t touched you for weeks but this is our Commencement Program and I’ll tell you about it all after its over. 38 ISjamlrt llp-tn-Salp in 31. fji. 8 Olga Bozzan ACT ONE SCENE i. (Jeannette High School) (A desk in Chemistry Lab.) Kenny Miller laboring through an experiment. Enter George Ferree and “Sky” Rupp. RUPP—Who’s there? FER.—Nay answer me; stand and declare yourself. MIL.—You come most carefully upon me here. RUPP.—’Tis now struck twelve; get thee to home. MIL.—For this relief much thanks. The thing’s hard and I am sick of it. Tomorrow is our fatal Chemistry test and it’s not done. FER.—Have you had a quiet time? Let us once again assail our equations. MIL.—Not a “Prof.” nor janitor about. On which we two nights have worked on RUPP.—Sit down a while. All unknown. FER.—Well, sit we down and attack the job. (Kenny resumes his experiment in preparation of Oxygen.) (Issuing forth from the delivery tube in the oxygen gas takes shape of a large O) (otherwise the ghost of the play.) MIL.—Peace, break thee off; see there it comes again! FER.—You’re a good student, speak to it. RUPP.—Looks it not like a flunk mark, Kenny, old boy? MIL.—Most like. It harrows me with wonder and with dread. FER.—It would be considered. RUPP.—What art thou that usurp’st this time, Together with that failure like form, With it, Kenny, thou wilt be placed on that familiar, Sheet of yellow paper, along with other flunks, Doomed for an extra period of torture each night. MIL.—See it stalks away. FER.—’Tis gone and we can not longer see it. RUPP.—How now ,Kenny, you tremble and look tired: Is this something more than imagination, what do you think? MIL.—That we must get this work done or we flunk. In what particular way I know not, But we must get this done tonight Or our chance for graduation is all shot— SCENE 2 (Morning of Exam at Miller home) (Enter his father, mothei, and sister and Kenneth.) FATH.—Though yet of Kenneth our dear son’s marks The memory be red, and that it is us befitting 39 To bear our hearts in grief and our whole family To be contracted in the disgrace of his flunking. Yet so far hath his dates conquered thoughts of study That we in shame think on him. And needs must stop his going out at night Farewell, my son, and let your brains co nmend your duty. (Exeunt all but Kenny. He soliloquizes.) MIL.—Oh, that this too-too solid brain v. ould melt. Thaw and resolve itself into use. How weary, silly and unprofitable. Seem to me all these exams. Oh, Gosh—’tis staying in at nights and studying, But bears no fruits in my recitation marks. Re-enter Father Miller. FATH.—Yet here, my son? To school, to school for shame The car is almost due. Sky Rupp is here. And you are stayed for. There; my blessings with thee And these few precepts in thy memory. See thou character. Give thy thoughts no tongue Nor any thought to another’s paper. These notes, and the problems thou hast solved, Keep carefully from thy professor’s eye. And do not fret thyself into distraction Over each test question. Not a lender but a borrower be, For a loan ofts helps one to good marks. And leading dulls the edge of honesty. Above all, to thine own self be true, And use thy notes. And it must follow As the nights the day, that they will make a passing mark. SCENE 3 (12:30—Kenny’s exam paper not ye handed in.) MIL.—To flunk or not to flunk—That is the question Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer The scorn and anger of enraged parents. Or give up all hope of parties, dances, etc. To fail, perhaps to pass, ay there’s the rub, For in this exam, what results may come, When I have handed in my paper, Will make me pause. That’s the thing That puzzles me so much; For who would bear the frowns of teachers, The hours of study, the staying in at nights, When I myself might be having a good time. But that the dread of something after this exam. Puzzles the mind. And makes us cry aloud, Rather than work and try to make it up. Thus pleasure does make cowards of us all But methinks the problems have not been over hard, And I feel sure that I have made a passing grade. (Hands in his papers with a great sigh of relief) 40 Atltlrttra Vernon Kealey During the past year, athletics in the High School took a decided turn for the better. The teams were successful in handling their schedules satisfactorily. This was due chiefly to the fine work of Coach Leinbach who succeeded in holding the interest of the players at all times. The school spirit was also a big help to the teams. The teams have been supported better this year, by the student body, than ever before. The pep and fighting spirit of the teams was, also, a big factor in a great many of the victories. Just before the opening of the school term, the football squad went to training camp, at Menoher's farm, about two miles above Ligonier. Here the squad practiced and learned the elementaries of football. This training was very valuable to the team later in the season. While at camp, Mr. Leinbach was assisted in coaching, by Paul Shrum, a graduate of W. J. College. The football team was very successful this season, winning four of the nine games played. This is a very good record considering the teams played, as the schedule was one of the hardest faced by our team for some time. Although the team was very light in comparison with their opponents, they excelled them in pep and fighting spirit, this being e ident in almost every game played. The teamwork of our football squad was displayed throughout the season. The basketball season of twenty-two is considered a successful one although there were not many victories. The team was greatly handicapped in not having a floor of its own, which made it necessary to play all games away from home, with only two practice sessions a week. The fighting spirit of the team, 41 which was evident during the football season, continued, and was a great factor in the success of the season. The new school building, with its own gymnasium, is expected to aid a great deal in the development of a fine basketball team for the coming season. The girls of the High School showed their spirit by organizing one of the best basketball teams, that has been seen for some time. They succeeded in handling their schedule successfully although handicapped by the lack of a floor. It has not yet been definitely determined whether or not the school will have a baseball team this year. There are ten men in the school who have earned their letter in this line of sport, therefore it is evident that a good team could be chosen. Many of the High Schools are dropping this sport for others, making it difficult to secure games. However the different classes of the school will have teams. These teams will play a series of games to determine the championship of the High School. The series will be a more extended one than that of last year, which was won by the present Senior Class. This year the school expects to have a tennis team. The High School has never before supported a team in this sport, but the prospects are bright for a successful season, as there are some very promising candidates among the students of the High School. Games will be played on the McKee courts. Track will also be taken up this year. This is a new step in the athletics of Jeannette High, but one in which the school should be well represented. We can’t expect a great deal along this line the first season, but there is no reason why we cannot have a fine team in a few years. No meets are expected to be held with outside teams this term, but there will be a contest between the classes to determine the champions of the school. Jeannette High School has been very successful in her athletic career. The teams have improved each year and should continue to do so. The new High School should aid a great deal in the development of athletics. FOOTBALL LINEUP FOR 1921. Kenneth Miller “Jeff” Kealey, captain and quarter proved a steady pilot for the team. His judgment in calling the plays was always good and his running a feature. “Speedo” Kealey proved himself very capable in filling the captaincy and we are all sorry to lose his services. Miller, manager and left half. As I am designated to write these sketches, I think it my place to let others draw their conclusions of me as a football player. “Sky” Rupp played a strong game as full back. His “booting” and defensive work was worth the praise he received. “Tiny” proved himself to be nearly as good as his big brother “Whitie.” Fritz” Potts, left end, played his fourth year for J. H. S. “Fritz” was an all-around man. He always played his best and we are sorry to state that he will fail to return for next season. “Jack” Amann, at right tackle, played a whirlwind game. He was fast on breaking through the line and throwing his opponents for a loss. “Hennie” Myers, at left guard was known for his consistent playing. We 42 are glad to see “Hennie” receive his football letter this year and we must say he earned it. “Tom” Amann, center and “twin” brother to John. His accurate passing and defensive work were always good and his graduation will be felt by next year’s team. “Min” Holland, left guard, was known for his “pep” on the field. “Min” was out neatest man in uniform and very effective in striking his opponents. He was a great support to the team. “Dutch” Sofko, left tackle, was always a reliable man. His “fatness” and good sportsmanship won for him the captaincy for next year. We all depend upon “Dutch” to fill his honorable position to the greatest extent of his knowledge and weight, and we all wish him and his team great success for the coming season. “Ted” Pierson, right end, was a fine player. “Ted” was known for his accurate tackling and for receiving forwards. “Sammie” Kistler, right half back. “Sammie” was known for his fighting spirit and for his open field running. He is the only man left for next season to fill one of the back field positions, so we hope he will do his utmost towards developing the new backfield. “Peachie” Hollondonner, end, and a fine player at that. Backfield men fear him for his deadly tackling. We were sorry there was not another end position on the football team for “Peachie” to fill. He is one of the “falling stars” of J. H. S. “Sis” Naples, was left guard and a good amateur center. “Sis” was not a “regular,” but we all hope he will be next year. He is better known for his big feet. Alex Martinazzo, halfback, and last but not least. Alex is short and fat, but is a fine open field runner. He showed his worth as a football player by the games in which he took part. THE FOOTBALL TRAINING CAMP Park Roeper Near the end of August 1921 there assembled in a room of Jeannette High School Building, a crowd of lively fellows, among them myself. Something new kvas to be inaugurated in Jeannette High School—A Football Training Camp. The purpose of this meeting was to decide who should go to the camp. This question was settled when a list of twenty-four names was read, and those whose names were not announced were dismissed—fortunately I was among those selected. The next thing of importance was the announcement of what to bring and what not to bring. After receiving these instructions, we all left the school, to meet again on Monday at 8:00 A. M. When I arrived at the school house on Monday I found that a small group had already assembled, and in a short time the rest appeared. We placed our supplies outside of the school house and awaited the means of our transportation, which we later found to be a truck of the Glass City Transfer Co. We immediately loaded the bottom of the truck with our paraphenalia (and incidently ourselves) and started on our journey. 43 By noon we had reached our destination, the Menoher Farm, which was situated about a half mile east of Ligonier. We unloaded the truck, and separating into groups, began to put up the tents, get fire wood, and cook our noon meal. The chief item on the bill-of-fare was beans. Wc did not accomplish anything in the line of training the first day. The next day, a typical September one, we got up at 6:30, and at 6:45 received orders to place our blankets outside to air them. Immediately afterwards we had setting up exercises, which were followed by breakfast, breakfast, different groups were assigned to perform certain tasks around the camp, each group consisting of a leader and three helpers. At 9 o’clock actual football training began when the squad was divided into two sections, one division being led by Coach Leinbac’n and the other by Assistant Coach Paul Shrum. The training given the first day consisted of the fundamentals of football. By the time we had finished three hours of training (we were so very warm that we hurried to an old swimmin’ hole.) After a short swim we had our noon day meal. An hour after lunch we began training again and received some more of the principles of the game. Training lasted only about two hours because the day was so hot. Another swim and supper ended, our first day of training. Most of us were tired and did not leave the camp in the evening. The next few days we went through practically the same routine with the exception of a hike in the evening to a nearby town. The feature of Wednesday night was the “Snipe” hunt conducted by almost all of the camp, the honor of holding the sack being conferred on “Ikes” Sorber. The hunt was a huge success. Friday was visitors day and we had a hot dog feast, boxing being the chiei amusement of the evening. On Saturday the first scrimmage took place but was interrupted by a rain storm. Later in the afternoon Paul Shrum brought to camp some ice cream, a gift of Sam Felder, which we appreciated. The storm still continued to rage and the water leaked through the tents so that we had to sleep in the barn. On Sunday we broke camp and started for home, reaching our destination about three o’clock. Thus ended the first football training camp of Jeannette High School, which we all felt to be a great benefit—a benefit to us physically and a success both from the standpoint of the camp itself and the improved playing which enabled us to gain more victories for dear old J. H. S. JFmitbuU Kenneth Miller Coach ....................................................... Mr. Leinbach Captain ..................................................... Vernon Kealey Manager ..................................................... Kenneth Miller The 1921 football season was the most successful one that the Red and Blue has enjoyed for some time. The team was well balanced and composed of a merry set of players. Although light, the team gradually outclassed their heavier opponents in speed and in the general knowledge of open football. The schedule was a hard one and the boys brought home the laurels in four of the nine games played. Scottdale and Norwin were able to down the locals only after hard struggles. Too much credit cannot be given to Coach Leinbach for developing such a machine, which showed splendid football knowledge especially against it’s stronger opponents. Those who will be lost by graduation are:—Captain Kealey, Miller, Rupp, Thomas Amann and Myers. With Sofko as captain for next year the outlook is very promising and more so with the new school building in sight. Schedule for 1921. J. H. S.-o .. J. H. S.-o .. J- H. S.-27 . J. H. S.-20 . J. H.

We were fortunate in securing Miss Marian Daugherty as coach. By her patient and efficient endeavors she drilled the girls in “systematic team work” which helped make the past season an interesting one. Although we were seriously handicapped by not having a suitable hall for home games, our schedule was rather well filled by games played in other towns, and we look forward to the completion of the new High School Building which will furnish us with a gymnasium. Some of the teams which we met this season were Youngwood, Mt. Pleasant, Connellsville, and Scottdale High Schools and the Irwin Scholastics. The lineup is as follows: Forwards:—Emma Gaub—’22, Grace Leyh—’23, Nell Nestler—’23. Guards:—Mae McDannell—’23, Mary Egan—’24, Margaret Mumma—’23. Center:—Dorothy Wurthner—’24. 46 Saskrt Sail Thomas Amann. Coach: F. B. Leinbach. Captain:—Reed Buckley Manager:—Thomas Amann Considerable difficulty was experienced in scheduling games this year, due to the fact that we had no home floor. The combined efforts of the coach and manager, however, resulted in a few games. The boys practiced only two nights a week but by hard and consistent efforts a system of team work was achieved. We are hoping that the new High School Building will be finished so that the gymnasium may be used for practice next year. This will overcome some of the present obstacles, and by giv:ng the boys the opportunity for better training, enable them to vanquish any team in their class. The team will feel the loss of Buckley, Kealey, and Storey who will graduate. The line-up included: Forwards:—Buckley, Storey, Zabeau, Kistler. Guards:—Kealey, McCaulley, Pierson, Kennedy Center:—Potts. 47 ullfe (Hautuma |}nitng iflatt Helen Eicher. John Cheswick, who had graduated from High School, and who had gone to College for four years finally decided that since he had a good education he would not waste his time looking for Opportunity, instead, he would wait for Opportunity to come to him. He had heard that Opportunity knocks at least once at every man’s door; so he purchased a house with the largest and most hospitable—appearing door that he could find and after he had established himself therein, he settled down to wait for Opportunity. “Abo e all things I shall be cautious,” he said to himself. “It is better to be safe than sorry.” It seemed to him that he had been waiting just a short time when he heard a loud knock on the door. “Who are you? What do you want?” called John. We are Opportunities of Enjoying Life!” answered a score of voices. “Come out and follow us.” “Go away,” shouted John. “If I go with you I might miss the great Opportunity that I am waiting for.” Forthwith John got up, pulled down all the blinds and locked the door, still thinking that the great chance he was waiting for would come to him. Sometime afterward, he heard someone tapping softly at the door. “Well—are you another trifling Opportunity?” queried John. “No indeed,” responded a gentle voice. “Some people say I am the greatest Opportunity of all. Please let me in.” “Never!” exclaimed John “You must tell me your name first. Dear knows who you are and I never take chances.” “My name,” answered the voice softly, “is Love. If you follow me, I will lead you to a greater happiness than you have ever dreamed.” “Will you guarantee that if I follow you, I will never be sorry?” asked John. But the voice did not answer him. He asked several more questions but still no one answered. Finally he unlocked the door and looked out. There was no one there. “Oh well, that couldn’t have been much of an Opportunity,” remarked John. So he sat down again to wait. He waited for some time. Finally he heard a timid rap. He hurried to open the door, but much to his disappointment, he found his visitor was only a child. “Well, who are you? What do you want?” “I am Opportunity,” the chi’d replied. “If you will follow me, I will lead you to greater wealth than you have ever imagined.” Why— you are not the Opportunity of Wealth!” exclaimed John. “Besides you’re not the Opportunity I’m looking for.” “Oh—but I’ll be bigger some day,” said the child eagerly. “Please come with me.” “I have determined never to take chances,” he said firmly. “Run along, and don’t bother me.” 48 So the child went sadly away. Sometime later he heard another rap. John went quickly to the door, and discovered a small boy. “Well—are you Opportunity?” he demanded. “Yes” replied the boy. “I’ve grown, you see. I decided to give you another chance. This time, if you will follow me, I will lead you to Fame.” “Ah! Fame!” cried cautious John. “Will you guarantee that my Fame will be eternal?” “I guarantee nothing,” said the boy. “But what of that? Come with me; take a chance.” “I can’t consider your offer,” declared the man. “It’s altogether too risky a proposition. And so the boy departed. Later—there came a knock so violent that the door flew back and banged against the wall, and in walked a man of huge stat-tire. “I am the Opportunity of Power,” announced a loud voice. “Come with me and you shall control the destinies of many people.” “I should like that,” remarked John. “But will you guarantee that I may exercise my power without opposition?” “I make no guarantees,” answered Opportunity, “but forget that, and take a chance. Come with me.” “It never pays to take chances,” said John. “Please close the door after you when you go out.” And so the Opportunity of Power left him. Later, an old man came to the door and slowly entered the room. “Who are you?” inquired John. “You should know me by now. I have come to make my last offer. I may be called the Opportunity of Service, and if you follow me, I will show you how to serve your fellow-men more nobly than any man has ever served before.” “That would be very nice,” said John, “but can you guarantee that my services will be appreciated?” “I guarantee nothing as I have told you before. Will you follow me?” “No, I won’t.” And after the lapse of another space of time John felt a strange Presence in the room. He began to feel afraid, but he finally managed to ask, “Who are you?” “I am your last Opportunity,” replied a deep voice. “And what Opportunity is that?” asked John. “The Opportunity—of Death,” replied the voice. “Can you guarantee me eternal happiness?” “I make no promises. I am the Last Great Chance, The Unavoidable Risk. The Inevitable Unknown. You must come with me.” “I’d rather not,” said the cautious man. I’d like to know beforehand if--” But he never finished the sentence for by that time he knew. 49 OUIJA BOARD Reed Buckley Names Pastimes Failings Characteristics 1940 Joseph Adamson Talking about her Wanting Height Father Olga Bozzan Collecting class dues Little money Bobbed hair Banking business Reed Buckley Tailoring Junior Girls Feet—45 deg. angle President of Chamber of Commerce Caryll Burhenn Correcting mistakes Compositions Short but sweet Editor of Good Housekeeping George Conner Repairing Lizzy French Timidity Scientific farmer Roberta Davis Talking Talking Talking Still talking Thomas Deluzio Practicing music Banjo Energetic Making pills Helen Eicher Dancing Fellows Artless Lassy A good wife George Ferree Looking studious You tell Bluffing The chemist of fame Russel Garman Cracking old jokes Eating raisins Modesty “Doc” Emma Gaub Shorthand Too serious Ready to help Business women Bernadette Gerard Her Lessons Scarce Always good Y.

Upon leaving his row-boat, Jack Dashaway, a dashing young “ensign,” decides to have his boots shined. He sees a stand at one end of the wharf and thither wends his way. All goes well until Curlie, “all fussed” because of this encounter with the young ensign, daubs the cuff of his trousers with blackening. The shades of a quarrel fall, during which Curlie sheds many tears. Unheeded the tears fall upon the blackened cuff and lo the trousers are spotless once more. His manly heart, touched by the sight of tears and his mind eased by the once-more snow-white trousers. Jack declares that they must forget the incident. A young maid shining boots; the man trying to appear indifferent; a few comments on nothing at all; accompanied by a few shy glances—this was the scene every morning for the next week. However these scenes are watched by one wearing a look that foretells hard luck for someone. And the owner of that look is none other than Tuffas Nails,” the newsie, who stands at the wharf each morning and supplies the business man with his morning copy of the “Jeannette News.” He is the self-proclaimed sweetheart of Curlie, and the sight of her and Jack engaged in friendly chatter maddens him. That evening he sends for h s pals, Mike and Ike, owners of a skiff, and together they plan to kidnap Curlie. Tuffas writes a note to Curlie, asking her to meet him on the wharf the next evening at nine o’clock, and signs it “Jack.” Curlie receives the letter the next day, and trembling with excitement, sets out for the wharf. On her arrival there, she finds the place deserted except for the ungainly form of Tuffas. A struggle follows; Curlie screams but is soon overcome. She is dropped into the skiff and the “flight is on.” But that scream is heard by Jack, who is returning from a picnic with his friend, Amos Skeeter. He recognizes the voice of Curlie, leaps into a rowboat, followed by Amos, and begins to pursue the skiff. Daylight finds them near the North Pole. Exhausted and tired they are about to give up the search, when suddenly they see the skiff, drifting about without it’s oars. Fatigue and Hunger are forgotten. Cap-pistols are drawn and a “battle royal” follows. Curlie and Jack, sole survivors of the fracas, are washed by the waves upon the shore of an evergreen island. Just as they are congratulating each other on their narrow escapes, they are surrounded by immense, ferocious-looking cannibals, who carry them bodily to the throne of their chief, the savage Cookemeneat-em. He recommends them for the pot. Just as this order is about to be carried out, Lord Helpus and his companions, seeking for the Tropics, come upon the scene. Curlie and Jack are released and are taken aboard the Englishman's yacht. In the cabin, Curlie recognizes a picture of her mother. She is told that it is the picture of the former wife of Lord Helpus. She also learns that her mother had left their home when she, Curlie, was quite young; and that after 52 many years of fruitless searching, Lord Helpus had given up all hope of ever seeing his daughter and was devoting his life to science. Curlie is now an heiress, so Jack im nediately falls in love, proposes, and is accepted. Thus Lord Helpus finds his daughter, Curlie finds the key to Jack’s heart, and Jack finds bliss, sometimes spelled m-o-n-e-y—and—e-a-s-e.

Ferree The spring of the year ig22 sees another class graduate from the Jeannette High School. Like the average class that has graduated at this school, the class of ’22 pulls through with less than one third the number that originally started with the class. This is to be regretted for a high school education, at least, can do no harm. In the class graduating this spring there are thirty-seven who have been sifted down from the “green” bunch of Freshmen that started to J. H. S. in the fall of igi8. This group shows many types of students—the bright ones, the dull or indifferent ones, the steady, industrious, consistent ones, the fluctuating ones, 64 the pleasure seekers, the self-satisfied kind, and so forth—but still they have all been fused together into a class remarkable for its teamwork. An unseen observer at some recitations would have gone away saying that it was the most childish class that he had seen in a long while. These childish acts were quite forgotten during the Sophomore and Junior years at school, but were raised from the dead the Senior year. The boys seemed to get a great deal of fun from throwing missiles at one another, while the class in general was always ready to laugh at any little thing that happened—a mistake, foolish question, or occasional happening. At these times one member of the faculty was always sure to ask, “Do you know what they say about those people who laugh when there is nothing to laugh about?” Of course they knew, and, as the answer was not very complimentary to themselves, they generally became very quiet. These are the “kids” who have always kept their sense of duty before them. They have composed the largest classes in practically all the hardest branches of study (Chemistry, Physics, Plane Geometry, Solid Geometry, and Trigonometry,) nevertheless, they have had the record for the fewest failures, and they have had their share on the honor roll. This is the class having the great majority of its members signifying their desire to go to college. Still further, this is the last class, we hope, that must take with them the memory of small, overcrowded, poorly ventilated and poorly lighted recitation rooms, together with the climbing of six long flights of stairs (from the dingy, poorly equipped, “cellar” laboratory to the “attic”) for the next recitation. Despite the handicaps suffered the class of ”22 is graduating with nothing in their hearts but loyalty to the dear old J. H. S. OUR NEW SCHOOL Russell A. Garman We soon will have a fine new school, It will be better than the rule. Of it we may feel rightly proud, That by our school board’s been avowed. We’ll have large recitation rooms, Where teachers daily mark our dooms, We’ll not have class in cubby holes, We’ll have some decent drinking bowl§. We’ll have a fine big gym, I’ll say, Where we can go to see our teams play. And when a vict’rys far or near, We’ll cheer and cheer and cheer and cheer. And when the time comes when it’s done. Then won’t there be just loads of fun, In fact our school will be the best, That is in either East or West. 65 31 a k p a Stuart Suter First Junior—“I was just kicked out of Mr. Humiston’s room for getting ink on the door.” Second Junior—“What did he say?” First Junior—He said, “Never darken my door again.” Mr. Wright—“Can you tell us something of the Iron Age?” Freshie—“I’m a bit rusty on that subject.” Miss Reuter, in French Class—“Keep your hands down. Don’t make so many waves. I get seasick.” Miller—“No wonder there are so many sharks in here.” George Feree, after a very trying refcitation in chemistry class, asked a fellow classmate what hot air was. Vernon Kealey—“Why you were giving us some just a minute ago.” Miss Cooper, on Monday morning—“George, why are you late so often?” G. Connor—“This is the first time this week.” Teacher—“Give a sentence using “transfiguration.” Freshie—“The girl powdered her face.” Caryll— Winter always reminds me of bed.” Lillian—“Why, how’s that?” Caryll—“Oh, it has such beautiful blankets of snow and such lovely sheets of ice.” Tell me not in mournful number, That in vain I did but cram, And for many a night lost slumber, Preparing for that Re-Exam.

And I’ll never marry a man that is crippled, No matter if both his cheeks be dimpled; For all the beauty possessed by a face Cannot the awkwardness of a lame man replace. A widower never need cast glances at me, I may be particular, but don’t you see? I advocate the maxim—Get the best that you can And never, no never, take a once-married man. Bachelors, too, must not come my way, For it’s never safe to believe what they say; In manners they change whenever the knot is tied, And then from your vision you wish they would hide. The man that I marry must be a good sport And when it comes to dancing must not fall short; In cooking, too, he must be first class Otherwise he can belong to some other lass. The least bit taller than I ho must be, And a little bit older, about two years or three; And if he sings bass, I’ll never get mad But if he sings tenor, oh I’d be so glad. He must be rather beautiful, just medium fair. With piercing brown eyes, and dark curly hair, From drinking and smoking he must firmly abstain, And also from swearing must faithfully refrain. To complete my poem, I’ll mention this too, Hemust be a Democrat clear thru and thru No matter how noble a Republican may be If he were rich as a Jew, he’d never get me. Now this is my “Ideal,” your opinion I ask. Speak it out clear and bravely, be it a small or great task; But there’s one thing I omitted, quite important, perchance, That I never will marry until “I get the chance.” 69 RECORD TO BE KEPT IN FUTURE YEARS Autograph College Attendee!

This event had been long looked forward to and was accompanied by much enthusiasm from both classes. Representatives from each literary society gave a recitation, an oration, a narration, and a debate. Ruth Peters, Junior Storey, Emma Gaub, Stuart Suter, and Roberta Davis represented the Seniors. Elizabeth Burger, Albert Santy, Margaret Mumma, P. J. Manson, and Eugene Laughlin represented the Juniors. All the parts were particularly well given and the earnest work on both sides is commendable. The first surprise of this eventful day was the colors of the Senior Class, blue and white, flying from the tower of the new High School Building. The Seniors were all very proud to be the first to make this display. The Juniors put their colors up later in the afternoon. In the afternoon after school the Seniors and Juniors decorated the sides of the auditorium where they were to be seated. The blue and white decorations on the Senior side and the red and white decorations on the Junior’s added much to the general appearance. The enthusiasm increased each minute of the day. At seven forty-five in the evening everything was in readiness for the contest. The meeting was called to order by the president of the Senior Literary Society, Emery Soles. He gave a short welcome address and explained the rules governing the contest. The meeting then proceeded with the productions of the contestants. Several musical selections were rendered by the High School Orchestra. Lucile Kealey and Dorothy Mull of the Junior Class sang a duet which received hearty applause. One of the most pleasing features of the evening was the first appearance of the Senior Quartette whose members are Olga Bozzan, Caryll Bur-henn, Kenneth Miller and Vernon Kealey. They sang several selections. While the judges deliberated over their decision, each class was given opportunity to express itself. The class songs were sung and class cheers were given. The climax of the evening was the decision of the judges in favor of the Seniors. Up to this time the behavior of both classes was all that could be asked. However with the decision of the judges all the enthusiasm of the Seniors, which had been held back during the contest, broke forth and pandemonium reigned. Such excitement as this had never before rocked the school building. The contestants were well matched; each class expected victory. The Juniors showed their true sportsmanship by their cheerful acceptance of the fate handed out to them. This particular evening will live long in the memories of our high school days. CLASS NIGHT The idea of having a Class Night was welcomed by practically everyone in the class. For many years there have been no such exercises, so that it was left to the Class of 1922 to revive this form of Commencement activity. By having 72 Class Night exercises, the play, and speakers on Commencement night, nearly the whole class will have some part or other in the Commencement program. Those taking part in the Class Night exercises are: Harold Prothero Roberta Davis . Ruth Peters Olga Bozzan ... Stuart Suter ... Esther Ressler . Lillian Manson . Emma Gaub ... Vernon Kealey .

Apologies to the Shade of Danny Deever. ‘‘What is the school assembled for?” said Freshman Adelaide, “We’re due to get a balling out,” the Solemn Senior said. What makes you look so white, so white?” said Freshman Adelaide, “I’m dreading what I’ve got to hear,” the solemn Senior said. “For the Professor’s heated up, just see him rage and tear, His eyes are flashing sparks of fire, he’s steaming up for fair, You can tell he’s feeling peevish by the way he chews bis hair. Oh, we’re bound to get an awful call this morning.” “I know I’ve done a lot of wrong,” said Freshman Adelaide, “You’ll hear about it very soon,” the Solemn Senior said. “He caught me once a-chewing gum,” said Freshman Adelaide, “He’ll not forget to mention that,” the Solemn Senior said. “For I never saw him look so fierce, I’m really filled w;t’o fear, I wish I’d stayed at home today, I had an aching ear, It will ache a whole lot worser after what I’ve got to hear, Oh, we’re bound to get an awful call this morning.” “What makes the front seats breathe so hard?” said Freshman Adelaide, “They’re wishing they were farther back,” the Solemn Senior said. “What makes the rear seats shuffle so?” said Freshman Adelaide, “They’re figuring on sliding out,” the Solemn Senior said. “For he’s warming to his subject, you can hear the hot words swell. There’s lots of students sitting here, not feeling very well, For they know he’s got the goods on them, they fear what he may tell, Oh, we’re bound to get an awful call this morning.” “I think he’s finished now, don’t you?” said Freshman Adelaide, “Perhaps he’s paused for lack of breath,” the Solemn Senior said. I never shall be bad again, sobbed Fresliman Adelaide, “I’m mighty glad I’ll soon be through,” the Solemn Senior said. 73 “For he’s finished with his lecture, you can see him slightly sway. He mops his fevered forehead off and turns to go away, Ho! the freshmen are all shaking, and they’ll need their milk today, After getting such an awful jolt this motning,” Anon. FAREWELL TO THE OLD BUILDING George Connor. Four years ago, the class of 1922 was enrolled as the Freshman Class of Jeannette High School. At this time, a rumor was being circulated that a new High School building would soon be erected. The report was well founded for two reasons. First, crowded conditions made more room necessary. And second, since the building then in use was designed for a grade school, it was impossible to do High School work efficiently in it. The following year, the rumor was confirmed by the action of the School Board in deciding to erect a modern High School building. A campaign to raise the necessary funds, resulted in the approval of the Bond Issue by the voters of the town. The erection of this building was begun in August, 1921 and it is hoped that it will be completed so that it may be used next September. The class of 1922 expresses no regret in having had to attend High School under such conditions. We feel that we, the members, have lived four important years of our lives wherein we were led from childhood and childish ways to a knowledge of bow to work better and to view many things differently. We are glad to know that the succeeding classes will receive the benefit of a better place in which to work and play, and that our instructors will receive such encouragement and support from the student body, as a larger and better building and equipment may give. And so as the last class to be graduated from this old building, with all its joys which have greatly out-numbered its sorrows, we bid “Farewell.” THANK YOU In this way the class of 1922 desire to express their sincere indebtedness to the advertisers of this book, who have so generously contributed and made it a possibility, for without their response to our solicitation, the book now realized, would have had no nucleus. We now exhort you, readers, to consider this fact with deliberation, and, in behalf of the class of 1922 and the school as a unit, to give your patronage and good will to those who have shown their true appreciation of our school. 74 THIS BOOK WAS MADE BY THE r JEANNETTE PUBLISHING COMPANY News-Dispatch Builmno Jeannette, Pennsylvania- V------------------------------------------- 75 C.
