V. Thirty-five r Education GERTRUDE BECKER Education means more to the students of today than ever before. People are just starting to realize the fact that there is very little opportunity for advancement to the boy or girl, man or woman, without an education. The weakest of animals is the human infant, knowing nothing, able to do nothing, and entirely dependent for his existence upon another’s care. Further up the ladder of life, developed by experience of education are Edison, with his many inventions, adding new pleasure to the world; Longfellow with his beautiful verses winning the hearts of many; and Lincoln, the great statesman and soldier whose memory will forever live in the hearts of men. The difference between this helpless creature and these great men: inventor, poet, and president is education. How does education effect government and Democracy? The best defoliation of a Democracy was given by Abraham Lincoln in his Gettysburg address when he said it is a “Government of the people, for the people, and by the people.” From this we can see that democracy depends entirely on the people that constitutes a nation, and how important it is that the voters possess an education. Those who have taken Ancient History will remember that there have been many republics established, but for some reason many did not last long, and monarchies were again established. Ancient Greece presents to us the first real example of democracy. Greece had democracies only while her great philosophers lived, but after they were gone, the government fell back into the hands of a monarch. When our fore-fathers broke away from the government that controlled them, they established the best government —a democracy—because they had always built the school house, so that the children of the pioneers had the same advantages for securing an education as the children of the old privileged class had; but when the Russian people broke away from the government that controlled them, they established the worst form of government ever known. Why? Because they had very little education, the great mass of people were utterly ignorant, and they were willing to follow any leader; thus we can see that democracy does depend on education. And now, how does higher education help the individual? Advanced education is the foundation of a successful career. Statistics tell us that an overwhelmingly high percentage of high school students drop their studies before completing them. Many are forced to quit because of financial circumstances at home, others quit because of the lack of backbone, others are not able to complete their high school education because they lose courage on account of making low grades. Any one who has not back-bone enough to smile through the petty disappointments of a high school career, cannot expect that he will be able to face life’s greater problems. Our high school course is the foundation for the future, and for a good future we need a good foundation for the super-structure. To strengthen this foundation for the super-structure we must have a college education. Colleges are yearly offering better advantages to the person who is really desirous of an education. Students are abandoning the desire to take up a profession because of the restrictions connected in taking up a profession. More and more severe are the requirements for admission to the bar; and in order to practice medicine one must take a seven-year course of study. Many students are abandoning the desire for a profession because of restrictions but they are making room for the more ambitious and energetic people who will take the time to prepare themselves for such careers. Thirty-seve fr ——--------------------------------------------------------------- s Remember your success does not depend on the big’ things of life. Do not think that you have wasted time and money in securing an advanced education if you do not become a statesman, the president of the United States, or the head of some large business corporation. Every day that you have spent in school you have learned something that has enlightened your mind, and has helped you along life’s road. “If you can’t be a highway, then just be a trail, If you can’t be the sun, be a star, It isn’t by size that you win or you fail, Be the best of what ever you are.” We of this class have now worked for four years, doing what we believe will most benefit us in years to come; we have been building the foundation for our success. In this work of constructing our foundation we have been assisted and inspired by the members of our Faculty, to whom we pay our deepest regards. As classmates we bid farewell to each other; our associations together have been most pleasant, but our time is come, tomorrow we will be freshmen in the world; it is with the deepest regret that we view the break-up of this, our own class. Farewell classmates! I wish each one of you success; and may your lives be long and happy, gladdened by the sun of fi’iendship, as have been our lives here in Jeannette High School. sunset PEARL MUMMA Just as the sun rises up in the sky, So as we freshmen, entered Jeannette High; Our low bashful questions and wistful looks Were answered only with piles of text books. Quite soon we rose to the sophomore stage, And we considered ourselves quite the rage; However we plodded steadily on, Until our goal would be finally won. Just then we saw high noon appear in sight. Juniors at last, conquering in the fight; Our colors sailing, our dear white and blue, We resolved to stick, and see ourselves through. Sunset! How wonderful and grand it seems, The realization of all our dreams; And though we might be filled with vain regret, We still will go on, our teeth tightly set. Yes! All over! The battle’s won at last, Soon this will be—a memory of the past; We’re graduates now, but we must confess It breaks our hearts to leave dear “J. H. S.” Thirty-eight “Vale” ORRIN SCHOCK Come Virgil, invoke those muses, That so willingly helped you; Oh come, that gift of music And control the things I do. Four long years have we toiled here, Through these long old years of strife; Four long years of victories; And now the threshold of Life. Oh! who can sing our glory ? Oh! who can tell our might ? It’s not the same old story. But the staunchness of the right. Do not grieve, my classmates, Laugh and try to win us fame; Never in all the world’s history Has a class like ours had such a name. We met on the sporting field To fignt, to drive, to try ; And it was that good old spirit— The spirit: “Do or Die.” Let our hopes be our salvation And our conscience be our guide; Let’s proclaim to all the nation And countries far and wide. Let no one try to deny us Our place in this world of ours For we will not falter Through dark and dreary hours. So I toast the class of twenty-six And my brow is wonderous cool; I shout for the class of twenty-six, It has saved our school. Friends, the sorrow I felt Cannot be told with the pen; My sorrow is deeper still; I close Hoping we meet again. Thirty-nine ¥ School Faculty % The High School Faculty Mr. Harry J.

Secretary to the Principal r History of the Journey of Class 26 Through Lund J. IT. S. One day in September, we, adorned in our most beautiful ribbons and loud ties entered the “old” high school as Freshmen. We were given the usual unwelcome greeting by the upper classmen who looked at us as if they thought we acted as if we owned the place. All we “poor” Freshies could do was gaze—and gaze we did; no teacher, no picture, no corner—in fact nothing—escaped our scrutinizing and inquisitive glances. Several weeks later Mr. Stump announced that the new high school was completed and ready to be occupied. We felt proud that our class would be the first class that had completed the entire four years in the new High School. Nevertheless we all realized that we were starting on a perilous journey—one in which many ruts and pitfalls would be encountered—one in which many would meet their downfall. A journey when made would mean triumph, glory, and desire for greater and higher ideals Wildly excited we went home and told our parents of the big trip we were going to take across the vast prairie, a journey through the land of J. H. S., and we induced them to come to the High School where we were preparing to start off. When they arrived they saw the prairie schooner filled with students adorned with happy, smiling faces waving sad adieus to their fond relatives and friends who could not accompany them. “What a hard and rough journey for children so young and innocent???” No, on the contrary they knew as well as the upperclassmen that these travellers, these adventurers, were different—extraordinary. Soon the horses started, pulling the large and immense prairie schooner filled with determined and ambitious students. Tom Stoughton took the drivers seat and with his judgment and skill led the class across new ways and routes. Miss Hold- THEODORE LEVIN Forty-two of our journey was very successful, our wagon ranked foremost in all branches of athletics, and the people back home were speaking of the intelligence of this wonderful group of migrators; even the upperclassmen became more and more convinced that this class was superior than the average class. Some students had become experienced mechanics by now and could tell the difference between an axle and a transom. A good many of the passengers who would not obey orders were drowned when we were forced to ford streams, some were lost on account of inability to stand the changes in temperances, but nevertheless we had quite a few left to continue our journey of the next year. The following September the schooner started again. Many new faces had taken the places of those who had formerly been there. There, was also another driver, Paul Fink, who ably drove the wagon aided by Miss Whalen, whose delight and faithful watch over us, was rewarded later. On this journey we had a party, and every one in the wagon worked to make it a success. The class was very obedient and though storms, hurricanes, and logs were encountered, we finally got through. One half of our journey was over. Every one looked forward to the resuming of the trip the following year. All were set to resume the third trip. Some of our fellow students had fallen by the side of the road, how’ever the same old industrious, earnest and spirited members were there. Orrin Schock was proud to be the driver of such a class and the class evinced pride in having Orrin as their leader. Miss Reuter was always on hand to advise and encourage the adventurers. Getting close to our goal we all felt we should celebrate and celebrate we did. We held the unforgettable Junior Promenade —that Prom that shall remain in our memories as long as we live— that Prom that was acknowledged by all the pioneers as one of the most brilliant affairs ever held by the students. This affair helped to restrain the tears which had occasioned the former endings. The last quarter, the last part of the journey! This last journey will be remembered by our vast crew, who, after three years of steady travel had almost reached its journey’s end. By this time our covered wagon was all in shreads, some of the wheels were bent, and the horses were sorely in need of a rest, but the students no more have a borec look, but a look of joy and anticipation. Theodore Levin, who is now in charge of the reins with Miss Cooper as the competent advisor, determined to make the last journey as brilliant as the first and to set a standard after which other classes may model. This year several parties and dances were held; the Commencement Dance and Banquet hold places with the Junior Prom. On the third of June our journey ended. The coveted cargo, the Diploma was awarded to a crew of 75. Sweet memories, happy by gone days and cheerful hopes return. The pioneers are happy. The wagon ever dear to them, has taken them to the land of Present, with a firm desire to make this a beginning to strive onward and upward to the greatest goal of man—Success. Now that graduation is here they are wondering where the four short years of pain and pleasure” have gone. Each has reached his Promised Land, and from now on his success depends upon himself. What ever happens, success is assured to all who will devote themselves to future tasks as earnest, and devotedly as they did while they were sailing through the Land of J. H. S.

Forty-four Sen ior Pam hies MAYME JOHNSON I was sailing on the ocean In a little birch canoe, When' a Salmon gazed from the water And said, “May I speak to you?” Well, there I sat bewildered, And muchly Shocked was I, To hear a salmon talking, I knew it was a Leyh. It set my Hart to thumping I got a nervous chill; And then I felt myself start sliding Down, down, down a hill. And then when I awakened, I was in a different place; I was just a Newcomer And I had a Doherty face. It was the queerest looking place, The people seemed unreal, While one was eating on Oh Henry 1 A girl slipped on a banana peal. They had the queerest house to Levin— All made from Logwood Stumps; And filling the little Cribbs, Were some babies with the mumps. They lived on Graham crackers And let a jolly life; And though they seemed quite unhuman One person played a Fyfe.

A man had his arm around her He Hugged her, which made her cross, She unfastened her Goldchein necklace And gave him one grand toss. 1 landed up in Green (s)burg Around Miss Dober’(s)neck, And when she went to dinner, Her Mumma gave her heck.

Our Prom HELEN KIFER May 22, 1925 was one of the lovliest spring days of the year, and it was the first time in years that the sun shone the entire day of the Prom. It was a long looked for evening of pleasure and from eight-thirty until one o’clock the silence of the Greensburg Country Club was shattered by the stirring music of the Golden Gate Orchestra and the shuffling of light footed couples over the floors of the huge rooms as well as the veranda, and also by the swishing of the bright hued frocks of the girls which blended well with the backgraund of palms and ferns. The favors were distributed by Harry Levh and Mary Salmon at the close of the Grande March lead by our Junior class president, Orrin Schock, and Mavme Johnson. Punch was served all evening. As an added attraction several folk dances were rendered by Miss Evabelle Martin during the intermission. For all the features of this evening of splendid entertainment, we are indebted to Theodore Levin. Tom Stoughton, Orrin Schock, Geraldine Burhenn, Dorothy Hart, and Helen Kifer. Forty-five ar .......— m Miss Seniors' Experience as a Country School-Marm TOLD BY MISS SENIOR HERSELF ALIAS MADELINE CASE If you wish to come with me, step on the magic carpet of Bagdad and come over the hills with me to a little country school-house. Imagine yourself suddenly snatched from the dreamy sublime state of a student to the dignified position of a teacher. This was Miss Senior’s plight, and I shall tell you some of the experiences, which she claims added wrinkles to her placid brow, .just as she told them to me. I approached my Waterloo with my head almost bursting with the newfangled ideas of psychology and a theory of love and kindness— possessions which I had learned from my own bitter career—were sadly lacking in the teachers of today. Father Pluvius had wept copiously all night and there were puddles of water in the hollows of the school steps—hollows worn by the lagging feet of many generations. I opened the door and a terrible uproar greeted me. I assure you that our “cheer practice” is like the squeak of a Ford compared to that clamor. I made a perilous journey up the aisle mid Hying paper wads, airplanes, and coal. I finally reached the raised platform and from there I surveyed my victims. Surely Aeneas, even when looking at the ruins of Troy, must have felt like a comedian compared to me. There before me were represented all nationalties and all types of humanity—first grades in the heavenly state, “I know it all”; fourth graders in the superiority of their knowledge; little boys, addicted to the sad habit of the circular wash; bigger boys who needed to consult Webster on the .junction of combined soap and water. There they all sat—each one having appointed himself as a ways and means committee of one to make life miserable for the “sub.” And in front of them I stood with my heart at an incredible high altitude and for once words failed me. Somehow we got through the opening exercises and I was just “resting easy” when again the tempest burst forth. I gave an officious rap of the ruler, but all of no avail for they fondly imagined I was amusing myself by taking the daily dozen. Finally I got order and gave the upper classes work and then announced to the first grade that we would now have spelling. Suddenly every one jumped up and rushed forward upon me. I gasped for breath and wondered what sort of an insurrection was arising, then I recalled that they always recite from the front of the room. The lesson proceeded; the class facing me. “Mathias spell cat.” Mathias “c-r-a-f-e-r.” “Stop Mathias not that,” Mercy! a terrible uproar in the back of the room. I went back at no liesurely pace and shook that young Bolshevist quite violently. “Young man if you do that again there will certainly be trouble, do you understand?” He was melted to tears. Back to the front of the room again. “Mathias it is not customary to include the whole alphabet when merely spelling cat, next Ruby Florence.” Well now Ruby Florence, why are you and Matthias changing places? Take your own place immediately. There are no buts about it, do as I say .” rty-six p To my mystification every time one missed a word, the entire school yelled, “Trap Trap”! At last I made them understand we would stop this foolishness. Later I found I was in the wrong, for in country schools the brightest is always at the head of the class—Ignorance is bliss. Next class—fourth grade arithmetic—horrors they have long division and that has always been my weak point. “No Adelbrindo, that is not right, watch while I run through it”. At last class was over, and a bell rang. At once all charged for the cloak room and disappeared for lunch. Now all was peace and quiet but my enjoyment was short-lived for they soon came back. That afternoon I was the recipient of a headless ginger-bread boy, a few wormy apples and some paper napkins which had known better days. Then we had writing and if I live to be as old as Methusaleh, I will never forget the squeak of those slate pencils. We sang “John Brown Had a Little Indian,” until we almost had lockjaw, then I read them stories. 0 indescribable joy! The afternoon was over and the last miscreant was gone, and I started for home a crestfallen idealist, for it takes more than psychology and human kindness to rule thirty young ones in a country school. One and three years ago our fathers built upon Fourth Street a High School, built for the furtherance of education and dedicated to the children of Jeannette. We, the Senior class of 1926, met on that great first day of our Freshman year. We met to continue our preparation for our career and to help secure for our new school a good reputation. But in a larger sense we cannot take all the praise for our achievements. The brave teachers living and dead who have struggled here have developed our school far above our power to add or detract. We will little note nor long remember what we said here, but we will never forget the friends we made here. It is for us, the graduates, to prove the fruits of the noble work, the teachers have thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather for us here to be greatly hopeful for the success of the teachers in the great task remaining before them. That of bringing to the minds of future classes, the knowledge that they have installed in our minds. Then to these honorable teachers, we wish good luck in training the sedate Seniors, the frivolous Juniors, the sophisticated Sophomores and the timid green Freshmen who come after us. We here highly resolve that our teachers shall not have labored in vain. That Jeannette High School Seniors shall always remain dignified, that the Juniors shall always remain true followers of the Seniors, that Sophomores shall always take good care of the Freshmen by first conducting a good initiation, and that the Freshmen shall manage to survive after their green year of troubles, and that Jeannette High School, of the students, by the students, and for the Students, shall not perish from the earth. Jeannette High School Address (With Apologies to Lincoln) CATHERINE SCANLON Forty-seven Last Will ancl Testament r GERALDINE BURHENN Best beloved, faculty, fellow students and friends Twenty-six about to “pass out” greets you!

Hugg—ability—much perfected. Fyfe—in best of condition. Case—very old, bought three hundred years B. V. (before Volstead). Stump—much better than soap box for “would be” orators. Cribb—always useful to our Freshmen “enfants.” Hart—strong and in perfect condition, would be especially beneficial to those who have lost theirs. We do act as witnesses to the codicil of above will, signing in the presence of each other, on the third day of June, Anno Domino, 1926. Edna Galbraith Edward Clarkson Harry Leyh. A Seniors Future GENEVIEVE PARSONS Alas! dear Seniors, the time has come, When we shall have our task begun, Stepping out into the world of woe, Meeting our enemies and meeting our foes. Alas! we know not from whence they come But encounter we must these foes we’ve won. Meeting with hardships and meeting with friends. For great things from little things grow. So let’s travel on with our head held high ; Let a fighting spirit push you through; Never give up, and never say die, Show them all what you can do. Have a purpose, support and aim, And let that aim be high, And when you’ve reached the halls of fame; Contentedly smile and cry, “I’ve Won.” Forty-nine ft —-----------------------------------------------------— Autobiography of Old Scholastic MARY E. SALMON I, Old Scholastic—the Mascot of the Senior Class—am sitting sadly on the steps of the High School Building with the doors of learning forever closed behind me. Forever sounds like a very broad term but school is closed for the summer and as the life of a stray dag is so uncertain, I say forever. Then too, all my friends have been graduated and school will not be the same next year without them. I have been a stray dog ever since I can remember, and have been buffeted by fate at every turn. This past year has been the only happy year of my life and now it has gone—gone into the dreary past never to be recalled. So much for the tragic part; now let me tell you a little of my own happy year. It began one day last fall. I was sitting rather moodily over at “Sam’s” wondering what a marvelous place high school must be to be able to draw all the boys there on a lonely day like this. My curiosity heightened and I determined to find out for myself. You know there is a well known saying that “Curiosity killed a cat.” You can see that it didn’t kill me, but what’s more it was the making of me. When I entered that school, the sombre walls rather startled me—they were so different from anything I had seen before. I was anxiously looking around me when I heard a bell ring and the hall immediately became alive. Quite a contrast to its former impressiveness. I managed to spot several of my friends in that crowd and they gladly assented to show me around a little. I followed them very sedately up a flight of stairs into a room with myriads of little bottles and funny smells. I sat down on one of the steps in the room and looked around me. A man (I was told that he was the teacher) appeared and began to lecture. I was vaguely interested, but the teacher seemed to think I was the cause of the classes inattentiveness, so I was put out. How soon my ambitions were dampened—but not permanently. No! My little bit of knowledge only gave me a thirst for more. So I wandered idly through the halls examining all sorts of nooks and crannies, when I heard the bell ring again and the halls filled up, I decided to try my luck in another class. I tried to become interested here, but I could not understand the language, so when I met with the same fate as before, I was not so downcast. Again my hunger for knowledge had been thwarted. In spite of seemingly insurmountable difficulties, I persisted and finally I became more at ease in my new environment. Up to this time I was still nameless. I had answered to any name by which I might be addressed. But one day I was told that I had been christened “Old Scholastic” by one of the Senior girls who makes it her hobby to name anything from hats to dogs. Well as Old Scholastic I became the Mascot of the senior Class— the finest class that has ever been in High School, or ever will be. How much happier I was with something definite to do every day, than I had been with my former shiftless manner of living. I cannot understand why so few of the teachers appreciated my presence in the class rooms. It seems a shame that my youthful longings should be so suppressed, but nevertheless I managed to acquire quite a little store of knowledge. One day I told a number of my doggie friends about my new divertissement and they thought maybe they would come over some day and see how they liked school. Well let me tell you, there was quite Fifty — - — - — — —— — 8 a lot of excitement when four or five of my friends of various sizes and breeds walked in. They wandered about for awhile but when discovered they were shown the door. 1 was sorry because I felt somewhat responsible for them. I.attended many of the social functions (Yea Wooley’s) during the year and enjoyed them all. But toward Spring the air seemed to be full of mystery—preparations for things which did not appear to include me. All the Seniors seemed to be astir and busier than ever. Finally I discovered that the school year was drawing to a close and they would soon be graduating. You can imagine the feeling I had when I heard this news. I began to speculate on what my fate would be. I dreaded to think of going back to my former manner of living. It frightened me to think what would become of me—left alone in this world again as a stray dog. Now school is closed and graduation is over. The last echo of noises has died out and left me again to the life of a dog. The Ideal Teacher SARA AND HELEN NEWCOMER How many of you have really ever seen an ideal Teacher? You have certainly all heard of one, but we are sure you have never seen one. Now our ideal Teacher would be something like this: First of all she will be a lady—not that we mean to slight the men, but then you know all men are supposed to be ideal, without our telling you so. This teacher would be crowned with all the blessings, virtues, and accomplishments, which all our lady teachers have. For instance, what would an Ideal Teacher be without Miss Whalen’s smile and cheerful countenance, or Miss Cooper’s advising ways and her everlasting good humor? Her appearance and daintiness could not be described without reference to Miss Reuter’s neatness. Her knowledge in English could be compared to that of Miss Krause, who is well versed on that subject. Her character would be incomplete if she did not have Miss Schall’s kind and friendly attitude toward her pupils, or the patience and fairness of Miss Harshey. How could she be described without the optimism of Miss Dickroeger, the generosity of Mrs. Williams, or the wisdom of Miss Holdren who is always able to solve the most difficult problems in geometry ? Now if we would add to all these characteristics the politeness of Miss Barnhart, the gentleness of Miss Dublino, and the girlish ways of Miss Steele, would we not have a lovely teacher? But, for our part, we are satisfied with our teachers—Just as they Kifty-one are. The Glee Club DOROTHY EVANS Jeannette High School may well be proud of her Glee Club this year, as this is one of the most successful years in her history. Miss Kressler, supervisor of music, ably used her efforts and patience in training the students who later showed their thorough training. To her is due credit and appreciation. Jane Schaefer, pianist, who very capably accompanied the chorus’ deserves commendation. There were three choruses this year, girls of unchanged voices, mixed chorus, and the boys chorus. The following assisted in the Christmas pageant and other musical functions of the year: Kathryn Ash Margaret Bauer I’atlline Bartusek Helen Bethuno Margaret Busins Helen Bowers Hern Id i no Biirhonn Osear Burke!

The reasons the school board sponsored such an organization last year were to arouse a better spirit within the school and to have an institution which would act as an incenative for boys who have musical talent along this line. This band made its first appearance May 29, 1925, when it led the school parade up Clay Avenue. This was the first time in the history of Jeannette that a band of school boys led the picnic parade. By far the most important appearance, the band has made outside of school activities, was during the week they played for the Jeannette Industrial Exposition held at Oakford Park commencing August 25, 1925. Other occasions in which they proved themselves worthy of praise were the St. Rocco’s Day Celebration July 12, American Legion Garibaldi Celebration, Jeannette Athletic Association, G. A. R. parade in Greens-burg. Decoration Day, 1925, Catholic School Parade, and Greek Catholic Carnival. They also led the High School Football team through the most successful season the school has ever known. The boys feel proud to have played for such a squad of true sportsmen as the players on the team were. Although the citizens are proud of these boys, they are more proud of the fellow citizen who gave so much of his valuable time in directing and leading the band—Mr. Edwin Guest; only through the efforts of a man of his ability could a band of school boys have succeeded. Fifty-three The High School Orchestra VIRGINIA STUMP The Jeannette High School orchestra is larger this year than it has ever been. With twenty-two musicians and the untiring efforts of Miss Kressler, the quality of the music has never been surpassed in pre-ceeding years. The orchestra is one organization that J. H. S. could not do without; for every entertainment of any kind that goes on in the High School the orchestra is called upon to play. At all times are the members of this organization ready to do their best. The activities at the closing of school always provide a busy time; and in anticipation of those events, each Monday evening at 3:45 finds our orchestra hard at work in the front of the auditorium, whence insue these familiar words “Sound A.” This year four of the members will be lost by graduation. The members of the orchestra at present are as follows: First Violins— Josephine Everly Evalyn Klingensmith Elsie Mawhinney Helen Stump Mario Adams Meredith Kemerer Cornets— Clarence Henry John Hlywa Americus De Amata Fifty-four Piano— Virginia Stump Clarinets— John Gregory John De Mary Trombone— Leo Senozyshy Guido De Amata Drums and Bells— Frank Weisbecker Saxaphone— George McHenry Matthew Greenberg Second Violins— Eleanor Evans Winephord Hoenshel Harry Lauffer Sarah Ferree Geraldine Helly Horn— Fred Du Chateau The Jazz Orchestra CLARENCE HENRY For many years Jeannette High School has felt a need for that form of entertainment which can be provided only by a Jazz Orchestra. In order to meet this need, a group of High School musicians assembled on December 15th, 1925 for the purpose of starting such an organization. As a result of this meeting an orchestra was formed which was made up of the following people: Mr. Stroud (Member of the Faculty) Piano George McHenry (Junior) .......................... Saxaphone Matthew Greenburg (Freshman) ......................Saxaphone Clarence Henry (Senior) ........................... Trumpet Frank Weisbecker (Senior) .............................Drums Mario Adams (Junior) ............................ Violin Edward Keefer (J. H. S. Graduate ‘25’) ................Banjo As Mario Adams became very ill during the year, he was unable to continue his work in the orchestra; his place was filled by Fred DuChateau, who is a talented musician. Since its organization, the Jazz Orchestra has played for all our High School and class dances; it also took a very prominent part in the Musicale given by the High School, March 19. We all hope this organization will continue to function and to hold an important position with the other clubs of our school. Fifty-five Commerce Chib MAE STOCKER During the last year, the Commerce Club of Jeannette High School has grown rapidly, not only in members but in the interest shown in the numerous activities of the Club. We have been very fortunate in securing several interesting speakers for our monthly meetings who gave valuable talks on different lines of business. Among the most enjoyable of these talks was that by Miss Cox, a representative of our local Post Office, on “Postal Service,” and one given by Mr. McLay a representative of Southern Surety Company, on “Insurance.” For the past few years the Club has made it a feature of its program to make a tour of local industrial plants. This year we were given an opportunity to visit the Pennsylvania Rubber Company’s plant and while there saw the process of the manufacturing of Vacuum Cup Tires and the making of tennis balls. The most enjoyable of all the activities of the Club was the party which was held on April 9. It was a most decided success and was attended by a large majority of the members. Due to the much appreciated efforts of Miss Schall and Miss Dublino, the Club has grown to be one of the largest and most active organizations in Jeannette High School. We hope the Club will maintain its good record in the years to come. First Semester— Pres. Moilie Rabinovitz. Secy. Irene Gagliardi Treas. William McConnell Vice Pres. John Yerina.

EVALYN KLENGENSMITH The Cicero Class of 1924-1925 will be down in history as the organizers of the Classical Club of Jeannette High School. The purposes of the Club are to give Latin a wider recognition in the school, to arouse interest in classical subjects, and to inform its members of certain phases of the life of ancient people. The membership in the Classical Club is entirely dependent upon the scholastic standing of the student. Last year the meetings of the classical club were held at noon, but when the question came before the club at the beginning of this year, it was decided to have the meetings on the second and fourth Monday of the month. At these meetings we have some very interesting programmes. These programmes have brought out to us in a very interesting manner the true myths concerning the Roman gods and goddesses, and also the Roman people themselves. We have found out the many customs of the Romans and that the Romans were not mythical people, as was once believed, but real people who really moved and had their being and their customs as well as we ourselves have at the present day. In general, the Roman mythology is very interesting. All those who are so fortunate as to become members of this club, undoubtedly know a great deal concerning the Roman people, their homes, and their customs; it helps to widen their knowledge. The officers for year 1925-1926 are: Consul—Orrin Schock Pro-Consul—Zita Doberneck Aidile—Kathryn Cribbs Fifty-seven The Dramatic Club ANNA GETTO The Dramatic Club was brought together by a heartfelt desire of the upper classmen and its sponser Mr. Horn, to further dramatics in Jeannette High School. Service was the keynote of the organization and so far this has been carried out to the highest possible point. Only those members of the Junior and Senior classes, who were elected to serve in an executive capacity, and those who by trial made a play or chapel exercise given by the club, were privileged to join. Much credit must be given to Mr. Horn for his patience and ability in organizing the club and making it so popular the first year of its existence. The play “As a Woman Thinketh” and the delightful entertainment given in chapel entitled “Six Cups of Chocolate” have shown the members of Jeannette High and the townspeople that the Dramatic Club is wide-awake and always on its toes.

Fifty-eight PAGE MISSING PAGE MISSING PAGE MISSING PAGE MISSING r Our Chemistry Class KATHARINE BAUGHMAN Chemistry is perhaps one of the most abused subjects in J. H. S. at present, much to the distress and worry of our most honored and respected instructor Mr. J. M. Maclay, Jr. During the third and fourth periods in the morning Mr. Maclay can be seen bravely withstanding a running volley of questions as to whether certain substances will explode or acid will burn, and many others quite as important in the minds of the class of ’2(5. By the way, the question of acid brings to my mind many funny incidents that happened in connection with our study of it. A small voice, which happened to belong to our mutual friend, Gerry Burhenn, piped up from the back of the room, “Mr. Maclay what would I do if I spilled acid on my dress?” Mr. Maclay, rather stunned at first, proved himself equal to the occasion, when he told Miss Burhenn she would have to go home and get another dress. But Orrin Schock, failing to take the warning after asking for the “consecrated acid,” tried it on his labra-tory apron and was much surprised to see that portion of the apron disappearing. We made a very interesting discovery the other evening, when we held open school. As we all know protein turns to bright lemon—yellow when treated with nitric acid and Miss Mary Salmon proved to us a large proportion of her body contained this substance when upon spilling the acid on her face it looked as though she had eaten eggs for breakfast. One of the most amusing incidents of the course was when Miss Mary Madeline Case was thrown into an attack of hysterics and the natural duskiness of her complexion was very much augmented, over the explosion of the apparatus preparing oxygen, confusion reigned and Miss Becker’s bunsen burner was thrown still lighted into the open drawer. Now, in lecture table experiments, our honored instructor always takes care to inform Miss Case concerning the explosive qualities of the mixture. Even Mr. Maclay has his trials. What was his surprise to find one day on trying to force a cylinder graduate over some burning phosphorous that he had it upside down! “What were you doing in chemistry lobratory today?” This was one of the questions heard on every side not long ago. It happened that we were only manufacturing H2S gas which when mingles with air, gives one the sensation of smelling cold storage eggs which have been in cold storage too long. I know the Juniors will have many funny incidents happen in their class too and I advise them to be wiser than the present Seniors and take out advance life insurance policies. I am sure the memories of the chemistry class of ’26 will live as long as there is any living members to keep them alive; likewise will live the memories of our genial instructor who was always glad to give his time and help to benefit us in obtaining a better knowledge of chemistry. Sixty-thn Senior Social Activities MAYBELL REINKMYER Helen Von Lindeau, petite and vivacious was sitting before the fire place, reading a “humourous” selection of Poe’s Murder of Rue Morgue. She felt lonely. An idea! She would call her friend for consolation. “Operator, give me 903-M please!” “Hello.” “Oh! Hello Helen.” “How are you? Well, that is fine. I don’t feel that way—in fact I feel just the opposite. 1 feel so lonesome and well----there is nothing to think about. “Think about! Why there is plenty to think about. My head is in a whirl. There is the senior banquet not far off, and Prom and then our last social function—the Commencement dance. Yesterday I went to town and bought some beautiful blue taffeta, but what puzzles me is this—shall I have it made for the prom or the Commencement Dance?” “Oh! I’m so glad you mentioned those forecoming events. I had almost forgotten about them, and that just reminds me 1 had better get busy and look for a new dress too.” “Yes, and Helen you didn’t forget that we are soon going to have a High School party and also a Senior party, did you?” “Forget, yes, I must confess, I did forget. P ut I am so glad that you mentioned them. Every time I begin to feel blue and feel as if school work is a drudge, a new Senior frolic pops up to make life brighter.” “Yes, Helen, I agree with you. For every period of hard studying we have some sort of a social function that makes us feel willing to work even harder than before. I think the reason we seniors aren’t dull is because we live up to the idea that ‘all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.’ After we graduate and look back over our senior year we will then realize what a continuous frolic it was.” “Didn’t we have good times at those parties we have had so far this year? I’ll never forget our first Senior Party. Thanks to the efforts of our president and his able committee it was a true success. We spent the evening dancing and playing games. Mose Barclay came in long enough to do the Charleston, and using the slang expression “It went over big.” Members of the faculty honored us by their presence. After delicious refreshments were served, we departed for home—much to our sorrow.” “Then some time after our senior play, we had a High School dance, which was he!d as part of the celebration over the great victory, when Jeannette beat Norwin. Was there ever a dance at which we felt more happy? I do not think so. Even one was so happy, we all felt like rejoicing and we did. We seniors forgot our dignity and the Freshmen even forgot their greenness. Yes it was quite remarkable.” Sixty-four r “Then on the evening of the banquet in honor of the football men another dance, sponcered by the Senior Kings was held. It was so funny when we dignified seniors endeavored most strenuously to teach the Freshies anything from The Paul Jones to the Charleston. Even so, we had a wonderful time and were most awfully sorry to depart, when at twelve o’clock the orchestra played “Home Sweet Home.” “I think one of the most unusual Social activities a Senior Class ever held was when the Senior FNV Club held a tea one afternoon for the Freshmen girls. It was more than a success. Those poor Freshies didn’t know what sort of an initiation they were going to attend, and they surely were surprised when they were most gracefully attended at a tea. Do you remember how pretty the stage looked when it was all dressed up for the tea? The speeches and music were enjoyed as much by the Seniors as by the Freshies. The tea accomplished one great thing and, that was the promotion of friendship between the Freshmen and Senior girls.” “It is a fact, that when I called you up I had almost forgotten about the good times we had this year. Brrr--------Bang-----! This line is busy.” “What was that you said about good times Helen? Good times and our Senior Poverty Party are synonomous to me. What! you mean to say you didn’t go to that party? Why Helen you missed the best party of the year. Since you weren’t there I’ll tell you all about it. The gymnasium was decorated in a most attractive manner with blue and white streamers, and a pretty Christmas tree. This party was held shortly before Christmas by the Blue Cross in honor of the “Poor” Seniors. Everv one was dressed in old rags. I wondered who that was over there with the black and white and green and plaid shirt. Oh, it turned out to be not any other than Tom Stoughton. And there was Mr. Albright with one plaid and one striped sox on. I wondered who the poor lady was wearing the big straw hat. And lo and behold! she was no other than our own Miss Cooper! Now who do you suppose was standing over on one side of the room in a pair of overalls? Who could imagine a Senior with a pair of overalls. Well it turned out to be one of those Neilson twins. But bless me if I know which one! The girls wore anything from gingham gowns to antiquated garbes of ’87—the most prominent parts being patches. And the boys wore anything from sweat jersevs to overalls. They needed especially the sweat shirts—why??? But there was a sweet nurse all dressed in white, known in school by the name of Betty Maxwell. She was a Blue Cross nurse, who gave to everyone a Christmas gift. The gifts included anything from a choo choo train to a baby doll. Finally the poor seniors were treated to a delicious lunch. What a picture to see those dignified seniors sitting on the floor playing with their toys, while thoroughly enjoying the lolly pop they had found on the tree. Oh, I musn’t forget to add that we had a big orchestra. I think it was the best party we ever had. Helen you missed a lot when you missed the Poverty Party.” “Since I have been talking to you I just realized what good times we have had together this year.” “Yes, indeed, Helen I think we had some splendid times. Call me up some time again. “I shall.” “Good-bye” “Good-bye” Sixty-fi Class Prophecy ZITA DOBERNECK Place—Cave in a hillside near Delmont. Time—February 30, 19----- Characters—Three Witches, An Inquisitive Person, Shades of the Members of the Class of ’26. (With special apology to Wesley’s and all other books on Grammar) It is the mystic hour of midnight. The figure of a young man slowly makes its way into the scene, coming across the fields. He walks as if greatly fatigued and the pale, cold light of a full moon shows him to be quite mudsplashed. He comes to halt before the entrance to the cave and peers into it inquiringly. This is the leading character— An Inquisitive Person, being “nebby” as usual. Inq. Person—“Well, now Pm certain Pm lost: I know I never saw a cave before.

Seventv-five £ Just Around the Corner of South Hall MOLLIE RABINOVITZ Just around the coiner of South Hall! Attention! From here throngs and throngs of happy Seniors pour. What an inviting, happy corner expecially at one minute to nine and four and one-half minutes after one! A rush for your room—and a greater rush for your seat— and it has been more than once when certain members had to sit with coats, galoshes, and various other wraps donned or take the consequences of being late—and tell me, oh, ye students!—Who would not rather wear half a dozen coats and that many more pairs of galoshes to escape the late line? It certainly will not surprise us if many a senior’s name is seen beneathe the title of a book. Miss Cooper gives us great opportunity to practice letter-writing. You don’t understand? Well, if you were in Room 21 and heard the oft repeated words, “Oh, just write him a letter,” when you so kindly asked to speak to a friend who sits four or five seats away from you, it would be perfectly clear. Room 21 and 22—Miss Cooper—Miss Dickroeger—Seniors—Woolley’s and Compositions all go hand in hand. We’ve asked Miss Cooper over and over again to give us his address so we could write him of oui keen (?) appreciation of his Dangling Modifiers, Faculty Reference, Unity, Coherence, and the hundred and one other things we just love studying about. Yes, Mr. Woolley, all the seniors adore you! A new member entered our class a few months ago. After he had visited all the rooms in the building the ones which seemed most inviting to him were those on South Hall corner. Our big hearted Seniot Teachers let him sit where he pleased, do as he pleased, and come when he pleased. Lucky dog, for a dog it was! This corner is a favorite meeting place for everybody. Groups of seven or eight are congregated to talk over the events of the day. Suddenly Miss Dickroeger makes her appearance and calls out “Girls, Girls,” when she finds—to her surprise—who the real agitator is and then with, a, “Harry, you had better leave if you have nothing more important to do.” The group now disperses, but not to stay apart for more than five minutes. Who dares to insinuate that the seniors are talkative? Miss Cooper dearly loves her little (?) flock of ’26. In those quiet thirty-five minute periods at noon she is noticed waving her hand or sometimes just her finger here and there to groups of seniors. A stranger upon entering the room would wonder at the friendliness of Miss Cooper, but to us seniors, it has an entirely different meaning. Each time that Miss Cooper waves at you usually means a five per cent deduction in conduct and she “sure does shine in those five per cent deductions.” Monday in the Senior Room—A certain member adorns the board with a beautiful “Lest you forget” and then goes stumbling over everybody’s feet calling in a monotone “Seniors Dues! Seniors Dues” but no one responds. In a louder voice he speaks and makes advances to certain students. Fifteen minutes are gone and still he is trying to collect dues. Now Miss Cooper “takes a hand” and shoos him along. He ends up with that woe begone expression, “Everybody picks on me” and sits $ Seventy-six — -.......................... - - ae; down with a frown from here to Brazil but this soon melts into a grin from ear to ear. Never mind Frank, we appreciate you just the same. Every now and then a shreik of laughter comes from a girl—a little, inquisitive girl—who is always asking that august lady in front of the room, if she enjoyed that box of candy, or if she liked her ride in the car the other night, or bursts out with, “Why I wasn’t talking at all” after she had been conversing with her friend across the room for not less than five minutes. And thus events go on and on, each one of them holding a dear spot in the mind of every senior of the Class of 1926. Calendar for 1925-26 SARA LAUFFER Sept. 9—Horrors: First Day of School.

Seventy-eiKht ® 5C------------------------------------------------------------ ¥ j Football ARTHUR GOLDCHIEN Jeannette High’s football squad of 1925 completed one of the greatest and most successful seasons ever known in the history of the school. Beginning the season with practically green material our team soon worked itself up to the point where they ran through their plays with the clock like regularity of a veteran team. The team of 1925 soon attained the essential points which go to make up a successful football team. These points were cooperation among players and coaches, and fighting spirit. Another splendid feature noticeable was the great cooperation and fighting spirit which was shown by our cheer leaders and the student body; their cheering at all the games inspired the players on to victory. Special credit must be given to the cheer leaders w'ho strove wuth might and main to do their part. Due credit must also be given to our student body who helped make a successful season. We started the season with an easy team—Aspinwall, which we defeated 31 to 0. This victory gave the boys needed encouragement. Jeannette soon won victories from such teams as Connellsville, New Kensington, Crafton, Kittanning, Braddock and Somerset, then came the climax of the season; on November 15, Jeannette travelled down to Irwin to meet their old rivals, Norwin, in Norwin’s new Stadium. After sixty minutes of fast and furious playing, Jeannette stood out the Victor, having defeated Norwin 6-0, the first defeat handed to Norwin since Jeannette and Norwin first met. Jeannette, the next week, defeated Ligonier, but on Thanksgiving Day, when our team travelled to Latrobe and were tied by the team of that place 6-6. Jeannette thus ended the regular playing season with a record of nine victories, no defeats and one tie. On December 5, Jeannette played a post-season game with Greenesb irgh, the first game between these two teams in 18 years. After one of the greatest games ever seen in Greenesburgh, Greenesburgh emerged victorious only by the score of 18-14, thus chosing the football season of 1925. The greatest credit however, must not be given to our football team, but must be given to our wonderful coaches, Jordan and Herrick, who did all in their power to make this a successful season. They molded together from green material a fast, hard hitting and efficient fighting football machine, which carried Jeannette’s colors to the top. At a banquet held in the High School after regular football season, Albert Bernard was elected captain of next year’s football team. )otb(i I I Sell eel i lie Sept. 26—Jeannette 31—Aspinwall 0—Here Oct. 3—Jeannette.

Eighty-one - - - Eighty-one Boys Basketball EDWARD CLARKSON In the early part of the fall, there was a call for candidates for the basketball team. About fifty or sixty boys responded, but this number was soon cut down to twelve. The remaining boys in the school were organized into gym classes and a basketball league was formed. Any player not on the first squad selected, who showed up well in the gym class games, was asked to report with the squad; this squad practiced every day after school. After the football season was completed the cry was “What kind of a basketball team will Jeannette High have?” This showed that the townspeople were interested in athletics of the school. The football players, who wished to play basketball were given a week’s rest and then they were asked to report for practice. The first game, between the varsity and the faculty was played on December 21st. This game was won by the varsity, but the faculty made them hustle to win. The next game on December 30th was between the varsity and the alumni. The alumni won this game. Last year Jeannette was placed in section III of the W. P. I. A. L., but this year found Jeannette in section VI. This change required Jeannette to play some of the best teams in the league, such as Du-quesne, Braddock, Turtle Creek Union, Homestead and Norwin. The first League game was on the local floor between Jeannette and Homestead. The attendance at each game was fine, although the boys did not get into the winning column until their seventh game. The cheering led by Ted Levin, was very good, especially at the Norwin and Greenes-burgh games. Yea students, fans and players! Let us cooperate and next year place Jeannette as one of the strongest teams in the section. ;iKhty-two (Continued on Page 84) Girls Basketball MARGARET BROKER Coach: Miss Krause Captain: Rose Shuster The girls of the basketball team have just finished a very successful season in which they lived up to their old record, by winning nine games, tying two and losing four. They have 278 points to their credit as compared with 248 points against them. With the excellent coaching of Miss Krause a fast team with good team work was developed. Much credit must also be given to the subs who neither participated in any games nor received a “J,” yet came out to practice and worked just as hal'd as any girl on the varsity. The prospects for a good team for next year look good. So come girls! Make it the most successful season in the history of Jeannette High School. The Senior Class of 1926 wishes you all the luck possible. The lineup: Forward—Mumma ’26, Shuster ’27, Evans ’27, Del Vecchio ’27. Centers—Boettner ’26, Stump ’27, Bee .er ’26. Guards—Shearer ’27, Buckley ’27, Broker ’26. Eighty-three Boys Basketball (Coat.) The following boys make up the Jeannette High Basketball squad: Varsity— Forwards—Gillespie, Capt.

S. Athletic Association CHAS. NEILSON The Jeannette High School Athletic Association was organized in 1917. The Association is governed by a Board of Control, which is composed of a representative from each of the classes; the president, the secretary, the treasurer, the vice president ,the faculty manager, athletic director and coaches, and the principal. The association also elects a cheer leader, assistant cheer leader and reporter. The officials elected by the members of the association hold office for only one semester; the representative, for the whole term. Only those students who have bought athletic tickets belong to the association. These tickets may be bought for a small sum, and the money secured from the sale of these tickets is the only financial support from the students to the Athletics of the school. The members of the board of Control for the first semester are as follows: Officers— President—Francis Genin Vice President—Glenn Myers Secretary—Helen Patterson Treasurer—Carolyn Best Representatives— Senior—Charles Neilson Junior—Ernest Getto The Board for the second semester remained the same. Track KENNETH WILSON The 1925 track season opened with the calling of candidates. Coaches Brumbaugh and Curry soon rounded the team into shape. The sudden illness of Coach Brumbaugh left the entire coaching to Coach Curry. Mr. Curry, being a new teacher in J. H. S., held an inter-class track meet to see what material he had to work with. This meet proved to be an interesting one, with the class of 1926 winning the meet for the third consecutive year. We then started to work for the county meet held at Latrobe. The J. H. S. track team travelled to Latrobe where it was entered in the county track contest. Although we did not come out on top we made a good showing and broke two of the county records and won fourth place. Bernard threw the shot 40 feet 10% inches for a new county record, and Wilson broke the high jump record with a leap of 19 feet 71 2 inches. The following received letters: Bernard, Doherty, Hansen, C. Neil- son, Stoughton and Wilson. We are looking forward to a successful season this year under the leadership of Captain Dan Doherty. The following are the Jeannette places at the county meet: 440-yard dash-4th—Hansen Half Mile— 1st—Doherty 4th—Stoughton 5th—Fairfull Pole Vault— 1st—C. Neilson (tied) 3rd—J. Witalis 4th—T.

H. S. KATHERYN CRIBBS 1. Mr. Horn is the sentinel of the lower hall during the noon hour 2. Miss Reuter can always be seen standing guard over the Girls’ Locker Room. 3. Mr. Stump is almost anywhere in the halls, trying to keep the pupils from conversing. 4. Mrs. Williams is always at her station by the front door in time to catch all tardy persons. 5. As one passes through the upper hall between bells, he sees Mr. Herrick surrounded by a group of girls. 6. A dog, eager for an education, often visits our halls, but that is usually as far as he gets. 7. A line of tardy pupils is strung along the wall just outside Mr. Stump’s office twice a day, morning and noon. 8. Mose can be seen almost any time walking up the hall with his girl, or girls. 9. We often see a “jam” of Freshmen blacking the halls. 10. The bulletin board is a common sight, but there are often new notices upon it. 11. The studious Freshmen can be seen almost any place, hurrying through the halls to their classes so as not to miss any of their lessons. 12. The Sophomores prefer walking down the halls with a Junior or a Senior, of the opposite sex as they think there may be a chance of receiving a “bid” for the Prom. 13. The Juniors try to be independent when they pass their lower class mates, but alas! they have not as yet succeeded. 14.

Kighty-eight Senior Class Play wm. McConnell The Senior Class Play, Mrs. Bumstead-Leigh, is a comedy in three acts. The Sayles family of Missionary Loop, Indiana move to Washington and take the family name of De Salle. After two strenuous seasons there, the eldest daughter succeeds in marrying an English rector and obtaining a hyphenated name. The Father has previously died, so Mrs. Bumstead-Leigh proceeds to angelicize her mother and Violet, her younger sister. The De Salle family come to the Long Island home of the Rawsons to arrange for the marriage of Violet to Anthony Rawson. Violet immediately falls in love with Anthony’s younger brother, Geoffrey, whom the family consider a black-sheep. The skillful manner in which Mrs. Bumstead-Leigh manipulates all the situations which arise makes this play very interesting and laughable. The play gained considerable notice a few years ago when Mrs. Fiske played the leading part in the Lyceum Theatre in New York City.

Reuter Miss Annabel Cooper Ninety-three ------------------------------------------------------------ � g Sketch of the Sophomore Class JANE SCHAEFFER On September 2, 1924 we appeared at Jeannette High School a timid, yet a determined band of boys and girls who wished to add our names, through hard work and earnest endeavor, to those who have already brought honors to our school. As we entered, we were greeted by the various teachers whose smiling countenances put courage and assurance in our trembling hearts. High School life proved rather strange for a while and many of us were lost in the maze of Algebra and Latin, but we soon recovered and buckled down to the tasks which lay before us. English, Science and History puzzled us many times but we weathered the gale, and finished our Freshmen Year with creditable marks. Social activities were not a part of our Freshmen program because of our extreme youthfulness, however we were permitted to join the different clubs. Early in the year under the direction of Miss Holdren, our excellent faculty advisor, we organized our class and elected officers. Frank Pinda was chosen president. Under Miss Holdren’s guidance most of us passed safely through our Freshmen Year and were a proud little army who realized that the foundation had been laid and would not easily crumble away. On returning the following fall we assumed the role of Sophomores with much assurance and importance, and eager to begin our work. Miss Whalen now took charge of us and instantly won our hearts through her friendly manner and her sincere counseling. Officers were elected early in the year and Aida Winter was chosen president. Later in the year Aida moved to Frostburg, Maryland, and Dorothy Kealy, our first vice-president became president. As sophomores we were allowed more privileges, and our outstanding social event was a class party held in the Gym. Also, our class was well represented at the two high school dances that were given during the year. We are completing our Sophomore Year with an enrollment of 172 and are working toward the goal of being upper classmen. We trust that we have set a worthy example for those who will follow in our foot-steps and that the class of “28” will prove itself an honor to Jeannette High School.

The first day of school was a failure for the Freshies (Greenies as we are called.) Many of us on reaching home declared that we had a notion to quit, because we would never learn anything in a place where everything was confusion. However after three or four days everyone had his schedule made out and had found his right report room. The Freshman numbered three hundred, sixty, the largest class that the High School of Jeannette has ever had. The main social event of the season was the “Senior Tea,” given by the Senior girls for the Freshman girls, on Friday, November 13, 1925. The tea was held to encourage a stronger friendship between the Senior and Freshman girls and it succeeded in its purpose. The Freshman boys felt slighted that they w’ere not invited to the tea, but have said that they will make up for it next year. We are now almost at the end of our Freshman year and are looking forward to the time when we will be “Proud and Happy Sophomores.” freshmen roll abel, dorothy abraham, isaac altman, wilfred anderson, kenneth antoniak, charles appel, mildred ash, Virginia backus, ethel barclay, albert bartuseck, pauline bauer, ruth baughman, john baughman, marion baughman, viola baum, louise beamer, alan beauford, morman beer, gagle bender, dorothy benson, anna berlin, francis berzinski, genevieve bierbower, harold billups, james binda, ambrose birk, gerald biss, andrew blackwell, ruby bold, gertrude bolger, arthur borga, frank brinker, gertrude buck, william burgan, william burzio, bernard burzio, james bus.vager, grace butler, marie carey, wayne chanon, charles chinchick, james chisco, Oliver claire, katherine clemens, nicholas coates, george collins, bernadette condo, helen conklin, earl costella, frank cribbs, adam crowell, llovd crucianna, frank dallavadova, mary danton, adolph danton, jesse danton, joseph da vis, joncie degregrio, cominic doberneek, charles donaldeen, raymond donnellv, robert dabruyn, joseph dormont, margaret downing, margaret downing, mildred drager, pauline drake, hally drake, marian dreisdadt, john drengwitz, marie dick worth, charles duez, anise eberly, lucille elias, mike ernett, august evans, louise fairfield, martlia felentzer, madeline Ninety-seve freshmen roll (cont.) felentzer, marie kealey, mildred opitteck, alberta fellows, dorothy keister, ruth otto, john ferree, ruth kellner, clara parsons, mae ferree, sarah kemerer, jeseph pasquale, anna fink, kathryn kemerer, meredith patton, orion fink, mabel kemerer, mildred permar, howard (linn, gerald kepple, grace pfeil, estella flowers, emma king, edith pfeister, mary flynn, madeline kistler, saramae piano, clara fontaine, dorothy kingensmith, margaret pierce, harold foster, margaret kifer, peremiah poileck, joseph fruehstorger, paul krupey, anna priester, clarence galiardi, anna kunzler, leura pryor, dorothy gaskell, madeline kurth, mildred rankin, james glunt, margaret lauffer, melva reits, herman gongaware, gilbert lawrence, edna reuter, katherine gore, martha lawson, joseph riggs, roberta greenawalt, Virginia leaver, margaret robinson, iona greenberg, matthew lepak, anna romane, anna gregory, john levin, ida rosso, tressa gioghi, elvera long, baldo sailer, paul gross, bennie loughner, cora snaders, jessie gross, esther lynn, edith sands, ethel guy, wayne madyda, mary sands, helen hahn, edgar magyari, nick santarelli, jennie haines, ruth malone, frank schaffer, aurora hansen, helma marchetti, william schotter, louis hart, herbert march iando, mary schroyer, mildred hartle, gerald martin, evabelle scott, ruth hawks, viola martin, florence seda, irma hays, Catherine martin, ruth senezysky, emma heasley, william mathias, winogene sershen, joseph helfrick, paul matt, nick shearer, clavin helly, john matthews, mary shearer, mav h el wig, florence matthews, roberta shonter, john henderson, edna me cann, martha shotts, carl henry, mabel me caulley, john shuster, garnette herbert, cecil mears, robert shuster, john highlands, mildred mentzell, paul shuster, junior hines, curtiss metelko, john smail, edgar hollendonner, fred miller, alphonse smith, agnes horton, frank miller, edna smith, thelma horton, frank miller, ruth Smolenski, Stephen hower, verna minkel, john srebro, theodore hull, emma monn, joseph stane.v, helen jamison, marguerite mooer, alex stankovico, frank jeromsky, jennie mowry, ethel stankewick, william johnson, lloyd mull, josephine stark, james Johnson, ada murrman, albert nerowsky, kate steiner, rebecca johnston, robert stepnick, carl Joseph, james nesbitt, leona stevenson, daniel kealey, irene niemiec, casimir stewart, katherine kealey, margaret One Hundred opar, john sticce, tony freshmen roll (root.) stagooki, elizabeth storey, esther stough, glenn stump, gertrude sudia, Samuel swinter, Herbert terill, ethel thompson, marian thompson, viola thurling, genevieve tiberio, marie trick, william truck, anna valdesalici, bruno vogel, raymond watkins, ralph welsh, cyril wentzel, grant wentzel, mabel wolf, anna wolfe, roy wood, james worthy, thomas wurtzel, kenneth yonkowsky, john yurt, ] aul zanarini, eleanor zanarini, jean zaelachoski, francis zewe, eleanor zimmers, mary zimoski, blanche zollinger, ethel zorn, robert o’brien, james rudy, wilma Florence Says FLORENCE LOGWOOD 1.

One Hundred On Science Club Photography GLENN MARTIN, Jr. Radio Nature These three divisions, when unified, comprise what is—was—and always will be—known as the Science Club of Jeannette High School. To begin with, its career as an organization, if recorded here, would involve quite a book. Hence I will take into consideration my alloted space and to the best of my ability will account for its actions during the past year. The three separate departments have done little this year in regard to individual work, but we will all agree that as a unit, the club has done much towards the interests of our educational institution. In order to relieve the monotony of self praise, I will, in behalf of the club, record the good works and benefits which we have showed upon our school this year. The Biology Department needed some powerful compound-micro-scropes for research work in their respective line. The Science Club, realizing the importance of having these miscroscopes in scientific, as well as Biologic research, took over the responsibility of purchasing these instruments for the Biology Department. As a result you will find upon investigation, a complete set of German made compound-miscroscopes in the Biology laboratories of J. II. One Hundred Two at ---------------- • 11 S. today. In order to do this, the club was obliged to hold a Benefit Show in the auditorium. This show was poorly patronized by the local students and it was up to the club to furnish the remainder of the appropriation from their treasury, which was quite all right with us. We have never regretted this act; in fact, we are proud that we could face this difficulty by being of some service to such a worthy cause. Our next move was that of organizing a full-quota membership to fill the vacancies left by the retiring graduates of this year. Therefore, we held a rally—eats, scientific demonstrations, and lectures! All possible candidates for membership were invited. After seeing the work of the organization, each candidate was offered a place in the membership roll. Invitaations were sent out, announcements were posted—and on Monday, March the twenty-ninth, an initiation was held in the Science Rooms. Over 50 new members were initiated into this distinguished Club and after being acquainted with the whys and wherefores of the club, were sworn in, under oath, as full-fledged members. Again we had Eats! (and a good time was had by all.) So that we now have a present standing membership of 125 members, all in good standing. We hope that, as the years roll by, we may still see a decided interest in Science and a real, honest-to-goodness Science Club as we have had this past year. Good luck to our successors, and may they uphold the principles and benevolent works of their respective pracessors! THE CLUB OFFICERS President ................................ ..Glenn G.
