Senior Write-ups by Dorothy Tomlinson Neil Thompson I N M E M O II I A M In loving memory of our classmate, Loretta Connor who left us February 21, 1926, at the age of 17 years and one month. She was a friend whom we shall always remember as being loving, loyal, tried and true. Her departure left a vacancy in the hearts of many who will always feel the ache of an irreparable loss. Her look was always joyous and happy, Never cross and ne’er unkind, A truer friend, more faithful student. In all your life you’ll never find. Forty-eight CLASS SONG THE DEAREST SCHOOL OF ALL Oh, you may travel ’round the world, The countries up and down, You’ll find all sorts and kinds of schools In hamlet or in town; And some of them are little ones, And some are larger grown, But best of all the schools we love, The one we call our own! Sometimes our way seems steep and rough Which ever way we turn; Sometimes our lessons seem too long And rather hard to learn; But if you stop to think of it, Such is the way of life We’ll find that woven with our fun There’s more or less of strife. CHORUS The dearest school of all the schools, The one we call our own; The dearest friends of all our friends, The school-mates we have known. Then here’s a hip and here’s hurrah, And here’s a loud hurray! We’ll make our school the very best Of any school today. Farewell old school with work and play, The dearest, best, old school today. Forty-nine THE LOG OF THE CLASS OF 1927 HAZEL HEPLER We, the class of nineteen hundred twenty-seven, began our career in the Jeannette High School September, nineteen hundred twenty-three. The first day of school was one great whirl, and confusion reigned supreme in our muddled heads. For the first week we had a headache every night. One thing that makes us feel proud is the fact that we are the first class to graduate from this High School that was able to begin our Freshman year in the new building and thereby spend four years in it, as several of the previous classes had to spend some time in the “Old” Fourth Street building until the “New” building was finished. We soon became accustomed to everything and Robert Patterson was elected as class President. Miss Holdren, the Freshman Class adviser guided us safely through the year. The main events were a trip to the Carnegie Museum and Patron’s Night. We were well represented in almost every sport. Leaving few of our Freshmen friends behind, we passed into our Sophomore year. The following September, Joseph Zimoski was elected as class President. It was in this year that we held our first class party. By the kind assistance of Miss Whalen and the spirit and attendance of the class, the party was a success and was enjoyed by all. We now entered our Junior year, which for some reason or other was looked forward to almost as much as the Senior year. Was it because of the Prom? George McHenry was elected the class President. With Miss Reuter as our class adviser several social activities were held in which we as a class showed our abilities, social and otherwise, by the success of these parties. Just before Christmas we sent for our Junior rings. Everyone was hoping they would come by Christmas but Santa Claus must have been too busy, for we did not get them until January. Again we had Patron’s Night but it was not new by this time. Finally the time for the Prom arrived. It was held at the Greensburg Country Club on May 25 and was voted a wonderful success in all respects. At last w'e approached the Senior Year, which is the aim and ambition of all Freshmen. We have had several social activities this year, Miss Hutchinson being the class adviser. One of these was our “Kidnapping Party” at which the girls were dressed as “little girls” and the boys as “hoboes.” We are looking forward to our Commencement Exercises, Senior Banquet, Commencement Dance and Junior Prom which are annual events of the Senior Classes. As the time draws nearer when we must part, that feeling of sadness creeps into our hearts. Here we have spent many happy hours together and have made many new friends. But there is an end to all good things, and we must part to go into other fields of life, into the working world, or into the fields of further education. However, no matter what field of life we enter let us labor to make the Class of ’27 stand out as a group of fine, honorable, and loyal young men and women. Let us not forget our dear old J. H. S. and what it has done for us Farewell, Alma Mater. $ Fifty — CLASS PROPHECY NORENE HORNE Time: June 31, 1947 Place: New York City In the summer of 1947, I decided to go to New York City to visit some friends. Arriving there, of course, I had to take in the sights, and while walking down Fifth Avenue, I saw the sign “M. Lyons, Hindu Fortune Teller.” Surely, it must be Magdalene Lyons, my old class mate. Determined to solve the mystery as to how she became a Hindu, I went into her apartments. She was delighted to see me, and laughed when I told her what brought me in. “Oh, it’s just a way of attracting people,” she explained. I immediately asked her if she knew anything about the class of ’27. She smiled mysteriously, and said, “I have followed them through the long years since their graduation.” “Do tell me about every single one of them,” said I. “With the aid of my crystal, I will try to tell you about all of them.” “We will first visit the United States and see what we can find. Look into this large crystal and you will see the White House. That man giving dictation is none other than John Mochnick, President of the United States. His stenographer is Irene Gagliardi, who has made a great success of her commercial abilities. Surely you recognize the voices in the next room. They belong to Edna Levine, Secretary of State (women now hold all offices except President); Joseph Lesnick, Secretary of War; Gerald Boettner, Secretary of Navy; and Paul W. Miller, Secretary of Agriculture.” “Where have I heard this voice in heated argument before?” “You must have heard it in Democracy class. It belongs to Thomas Fairfull, Ambassador to Scotland. He has just returned from there, and I guess Joseph Lesnick has said something sarcastic about that place.” “We must journey on. Here is Philadelphia. We are just in time for the recital the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra is giving for the benefit of the Orphans. You will recognize Paul C. Miller, George McHenry, Frank Yarlett and Paul Biss among their midst.” “Coming a little nearer to good old Jeannette, we see Glenn Myers coaching a football game at Norwin, IMAGINE! against our old antagonists. It is hinted that feminine beauty is responsible. Too bad that she doesn’t live in Jeannette.” “At Jeannette, we find that a larger and more beautiful Hi h School is being erected. The principal is Henry Gaub, who has settled down to) married life. That youngster speaking to him is Henry, Jr.” “Doesn’t that voice belong to Elizabeth Chanon?” I inquired. “Yes, she is the French teacher in the new High School. Margaret Butler and Laura Cataldo are teachers of economics. Pauline Wodnick and Mildred Myers are commercial teachers.” “Here is Pitt Stadium. John Yerina, who is making that 90-yard dash, is earning a salary of $1,000,000 per annum.” “Moving to Carnegie Hall, we find that Olga Gagliardi is giving a recital of her own composition. She has toured Europe several times and has won international fame. The hall is crowded with her friends from Jeannette and vicinity. She is planning to give a recital in China next year.” “Going to the north side of Pittsburgh, we see a hospital called the Getwell Home. This was established by Katherine Kifer and Sarah Cook. The head doctor is John Rankin. It is said that the doctor pays very little attention to his business when the nurses are near. If you will look closely, you will recognize Charles Izzy and Lucinda Larimer among the patients.” “We are now back in New York. Marie Denunzio has established a reducing school. I have never found what her methods are, but they must be successful, for she is now a perfect 36.” “Margaret Hiteshue, Agnes Miller, Helen Bowers, and Pearl Hower are the successful owners of a large store for women. Fifty-on r CLASS PROPHECY—(Continued) -w lj “Going to Hollywood, we see Marian Hall, a second Mary Pickford, without the curls, who is the leading actress of the day. Her latest picture is “Idle Flappers” with William Best as leading man.” “Who is that coming out of the Hall studio?” asked I. “Mildred Baughman is leading, followed by Aileen Houston, Jack Brown, Leah Dunlap, Dan Deluzio, and Ernest Getto (a second Mack Sennett.) They have all made a success of the movies.” “Moving north we find Ugo D’Amato established and now the principal of Possum Hollow Seminary in Oregon. Among the faculty, we find Genevieve Kennedy, Kenneth Guy, Mary Gaut, Virginia Hoenshel, Marie Beacom and Teno Orengia.” “At Atlantic City we see Katherine Cline, Leona Bomblatus, Gladys Shirley, Helen Baughman, and Helen Patterson on their vacation.” “Neil Thompson, and Charles Downing are operating a theatre near the beach. Look very close and you will see Antoinette Caraccia with a prominent lawyer’s son from Greensburg and Milton Engstrom with his wife (formerly Mary Corwin) who are boosting the movies.” “We will go to Europe. On the Mayflower we find Elizabeth Tanner, who has won a shorthand scholarship, and Mabel Wickline, who has won a scholarship in typewriting, reading the New York Tribune, which tells in glaring headlines about the famous basketball star, Olivia Evans. On the same ship, Dorothy West is starting on her trip around the world in search of plots. She is famous as the foremost author of the day.” “Arriving at the Wertz Gallery in Dresden, you will see several masterpieces of Josephine Everly. She has just finished a more beautiful Mona Lisa than Leonardo De Vinci’s.” “We are now in France. If you listen intently you may be able to hear the French people praising Clara Del Vecchio for her tennis abilities. She has won a greater place in their hearts than their beloved Suzanne.” “That large sign in Paris reads ‘Dorothy Tomlinson, World’s Greatest Dancing Instructress.’ In looking in her studio you will notice Helen Bethune, and Esther Kneyp are assistant teachers. In her group of pupils you will recognize Grace Sadler, Dorothy Haines and Anastasia Stahley still struggling in their desire to become movie actresses.” “We will now move across the continent. Among the Chinese people you will see Ethlyn Floyd, Lois Whiteman, Margaret Bauer, Thelma Caddy and Leonard Jacobson, who are struggling to civilize that revolting race. Helen Stump is trying to pound a knowledge of everything into their brain (even Solid Geometry) which proves to be a very difficult task.” “What happened to Anna Vizzine, Eleanor Caretti, and Anna Tambourine?” I inquired.” “I had almost forgotten about them. They are w’riting a book to be called the ‘Brains of the Constitution,’ which is to be vastly superior to Southworth’s Common Sense of the Constitution.” “Ada Ott has devoted her life to singing in prisons for the benefit of those poor unfortunate beings.” “Robert Patterson is the President of the Last Hope Bank of Jeannette. Some of his assistants are Robert Elrick, teller; Martin Palicka, bookkeeper; Lloyd Shrum, Cashier; Geraldine Helly and Jeannette Matthews, typists.” “How about Hallie Nesbit, Hazel Hepler and Elsie Mawhinney?” “Elsie Mawhinney and Hallie Nesbit are married to brothers who have a large share in Sears, Roebuck Company. Hazel Hepler has joined the Salvation Army and her aid is distributed far and wide. Her reason for joining was because she was disappointed in love.” “Charles Graham and Stanley Staney are joint owners of the Pennsylvania Rubber Company.” “There! I believe that completes the list. Good old Class of ’27, was truly a marvelous class.” LFifty-two Xr----- r CLASS WILL ESTHER KNEYP We, the Class of ’27 who are about to leave our school of learning (dear old J. H.

We hereby appoint the Junior Commercial Group as executors of this, our last Will and Testament. In witness whereof, we, the Commercial Group of 1927 herewith subscribe our seal on the eighth day of March, in the year of our Lord, One thousand Nine hundred and Twenty seven. COMMERCIAL GROUP OF 1927 (SEAL) Irene Gagliardi “27” Witnesses: Pen, Paper. Fifty-four My Parting From J. H. S, AGNES MILER Four years have gone, but the memories Still cling to my weary brain, For now I can see my failure, My errors, and my gain. At first perhaps I was backward And counted myself as the least; The school seemed to me a dungeon, I, a prison, never released. But now it seems more like a story Of fairies, birds and bees And these all working together Can do much as they please. I should call my classmates the fairies Who, in waving their magic wand Made all my troubles lighter And formed these memories fond.

We began our career under the leadership of Miss Holdren—slow but sure. Class officers were elected and other business matters were attended to. We were so backward then that we were afraid to show our faces at parties. (This was realized by Mr. Stump and other members of the faculty.) As we wandered through the halls looking for our rooms, we often wandered into Senior class rooms from which we were quickly ejected. June found us at the end of the first quarter ready to look for the tulips, thinking of our success and looking for the future. (Time Out. First Quarter) (Toot-toot. Second Quarter) September came again and found us in the second lap of our journey, more determined than before. Immediately Miss Whalen took up the reigns, and we, with a great spurt, went further into the halls of fame, electing officers and preparing for parties which was a great delight to us all. But as everything has its hard problems to solve, we now had ours—Aida Winter, our class president left us and was succeeded by vice-president Dorothy Kealey, who proved her worth to the class. Caesar and Bookkeeping kept the majority supplied with plenty of work. The greatest surprise we have had so far was when Norwin was handed her first defeat by Jeannette High on the gridiron in eleven years. Still greater was the surprise when a holiday was announced for the following Monday. (Time Out. First Half) (Toot-toot. Third Quarter) September came again, and another year found us in the midst of fame with Miss Harshey as our class adviser. Officers were elected and other matters were given special attention, such as preparations for the Prom. A class party was held in the gymnasium, which was a great success. We finally settled down to real earnest work and found several modern Shake- speares in our English classes. It was not long until we received our Junior rings and many new talents came to light as a result. Whether we raised our hands because we knew our lessons or whether we wanted to display our jewels that is the question. Since becoming Juniors, we are a happy and aggressive class which was shown when Mr. Stump called for class material for the “Lantern.” With the encouragement of Miss Steele, the Junior Class presented an overloaded supply of material. Now we are waiting for the Prom and other things that “Happen in June.” We, the students of “28,” think we have given our share of contributions to J. H. S. up to this time and will continue to do so next year. President ..... Vice President Secretary ..... Treasurer .....

SOPHOMORE SIDE LIGHTS MILDRED SCHROYER September 1925, a large group of young people felt the spirit of adventure and decided to take a four years’ journey through the Jeannette High School. We started on the first lap of our journey by entering under the title of “Freshmen.” We had three hundred and forty-one members. On account of the large number in our class, Mr. Stump named a few people whom he thought would make desirable officers and from these we selected our leaders. Miss Hold-ren, our very able Class Adviser, helped these people, who guided us very successfully. We didn’t have any individual social functions but turned out well at the High School affairs such as the dances. The girls were more fortunate than the boys because they were delightfully entertained at tea by the Senior Girls. Our Class, although only Freshmen, soon became a recognized leader in Athletics. During the football season we covered ourselves with glory. The only person to score in the famous Jeannette-Norwin game of ’25 was a “Freshie.” In the Inter-Class Basketball Series, the Freshmen Girls took the Championship. The boys, although not so fortunate, had a creditable season. The first lap of our journey was very' enjoyable so we traveled on to the second—the Sophomore Year. We started on this second lap two hundred and fifty strong, some members having fallen by the wayside. Early in the year we met in the Auditorium and elected officers who were tc lead us in our second year. We had our first Class party in October and due to the efforts of our capable adviser, Miss Whalen and our officers, it was a big success. Then again in January we held another party and it was even better than the first. We maintained the reputation we had established our first year in Athletics. Our President, John M inkle, was Captain for the Football team, our Vice-President, “Bunny” Burzio was elected captain for ’27. We also maintained our reputation in basketball. The girls were captained by Marie Ticken. We lost but one game and that to the Senior Girls. The boys also won quite a few games. Amadae Tiberio was our captain. Two of our girls became members of the Varsity. Our Class was also well represented on the Boys’ Varsity. So, Sophomores, come on and make our third lap, the Junior Year, just as successful if not more so, and make the last lap, our Senior Year, the best of all with the Class of ’29 the “Red-Letter” Class of Jeannette High School.

Sixty-seven ft ----— FRESHMEN THUS FAR MARY CREADY On the morning of September 7, a glorious day, way back in 1926, three hundred and sixteen well meaning, but alas, terribly green Fresh-ies started bravely in upon their High School career. On that memorable first day almost every Freshman saw for the first time several different rooms and was politely told he didn’t belong in any of these several different rooms and after many embarassing moments (which seemed like hours) finally landed in the right home room. During the first week or so we looked upon High School as a strange new’ land of wonders (Freshmen have wild ideas,) but after a somewhat abrupt ending to our dreams (or nightmare?) w’e settled down to our studies. Our colors “navy blue and white” w’ere chosen by several representatives of the class shortly after the beginning of the term. The only social event we attended this year was the tea given by the Senior girls for the Freshmen girls. We certainly did enjoy this and felt “oh”, so honored. The boys and girls of our class both had a good basketball team this year, and in the inter-class games showed the upper classes, that even if we didn’t w’in all the games (Freshmen usually don’t) basketball was one thing we weren’t so green about. Most of us have passed our mid-year and are preparing ourselves with the necessary knowledge to make better marks in the “finals.” High School has been everything we expected and did expect loads of fun as wll as work. Our expectations are even greater for the coming year, our Sophomore year. OUR CLASS OFICERS President .............................

The “Lantern” can hold its own with any of them, and I hope it will always do so. For the past years each staff, in turn, has tried to put out a paper to please the students. They have endeavored to keep the students posted on all matters of interest such as: Sports, Club Activities, Social Events, etc. Through our paper the students learn more about their school, and clubs. They learn who’s who in school, and it also tends to create a friendly feeling among the students. Every school should take pride in producing a good paper. The staff alone can not produce such a paper. We ask the student body to contribute any news which will make the paper interesting. Any news, of interest to the students, would be published in the “Lantern.” and if you find any such material, please hand it to the editor. The paper belongs to the school and it is up to every student to make our paper the pride of our school and the envy of all other schools. The class of 27” extends its best wishes for the success of the “Lantern” in the years to come. THE STAFF Helen Baughman “27” .....................................

Le 29 septembre: Leonard and Olley have either a deep desire for learning or a great desire to kill time, for they are constantly asking questions (foolish or otherwise). Par exemple: “Quel est un gallicisme?”—“Construction propre a la langue francaise contraire aux regies ordinaires.”—Neither being much enlightened, they had to consult “Larousse” and then “Webster!” Le 6 octobre: Terrible'ordeal. Examin tout en francais! As no one had under- stood half that went on in class during the preceding week, few survived. Le 20 octobre: All teaching is not in vain! Having been admonished to use -our French in daily life, we comply. Boy hard at work; paper wad lands on his ear; draw the curtains on what he uttered; French, but not as taught by Mile. Frey. Le 24 novembre: Quelle Joie! Last day to make frantic attempts at French con- versation—until Monday. Le 10 decembre: Decided to organize a French Club for the purpose of furthering our knowledge of French'conversation, in an instructive but social way; also to learn more about French customs and French literature. ELIZABETH CHAXON Seventy-oi How The French Club Came About—(Continued) Le 22 decembre: If Josephine can’t parler francais ordinarily, there’s no question but what she can “Au Telephone.” Ernest Getto will make a good street car conducteur. He proved it “En Omnibus.” Le ban Pere Noel had some candy for les bons petits enfants (?) so we all got some. Le 3 janvier: New Year’s resolutions in order. Evidently Mile.

Seventy-two MARIAN HALL President ................ George McHenry Secretary .................... Dorothy West Vice President ........... Mario Adams Treasurer ................... Mable Wickline On the sixteenth day of October in the year nineteen hundred and twenty-five, there was organized in , Jeannette High School, The Dramatic Club, an organization that would encourage dramatics among the students. The initiation included only Juniors and Seniors who were capable of attaining an average of eighty-five per cent and over. As a result a group of expectant upper classmen assembled, to be converted if possible into second Barrymores and Bernhardts. Under the direction of Mr. Horn steps were taken to draw up a constitution, elect officers, and in turn appoint an administrative body. Two plays were given by the Club during its first year which placed it on a well earned pedestal. They were “As a Woman Thinketh” and “Six Cups of Chocolate.” One play was given this year scheduled for two performances—one at the High School Auditorium and one at McCullough. The title of this play was “It Happened in June.” It was given with the express purpose of maintaining the high mark already set by its predecessors. The cast included Helen Patterson, Josephine Everly, Isabelle Hanson, Catherine Lutz, Ernest Getto, John Rankin, Mario Adams, Louise Casini ,and Manan Hall. Although the Dramatic Club is one of the youngest clubs now functioning, it has probably attracted more attention than any other organization. It stands for service to its many patrons and friends and in itself aims for a deeper appreciaion of the higher and finer motives in life. Much credit is due Mr. Horn for his unfailing interest in the Dramatic Club and by a unanimous vote of its members, we wish to express our thanks and hope that success shall be his in this same field in future years. Seventy-three ------------ SENIOR KINGS JOHN YERINA “Boys will be boys,” is a quaint saying heard frequently. Well, what has happened now? Early in November the boys of the Senior Class met in the auditorium to reorganize the Boys’ Club, the purpose of which was to boost all school activities. They decided to retain the name of “Senior Kings.” The Club was organized by a prominent young gentleman who proves to be none other than our famed athletic coach, Mr. Jordan. The biggest event of the club has been the backing of the J. H. S. football dances which were held in the gymnasium. A committee from the club decorated the gymnasium and did everything in their power to make the second Annual Football Dance a success. The boys of the Senior Class have decided to leave the J. H. S. and to continue their activities in a broader field. What is to become of the Club when all the present Seniors are gone? Who will fill their places? Well! Here it is, the Juniors of today, the Seniors of to-morrow can surely keep the club going at a whirl wind pace. Then come the Sophomores who show pleasant signs of being an ambitious group. They surely will get their turn. Still we must not forget the last but not the least of all, the Freshmen class. They must think of this as a future attainment. And now the present Senior Kings in departing, leave behind their good wishes to the Juniors who are soon to take their places. Faculty Adviser President ..... Vice President Secretary Treasurer ....

The task of continuing his work was taken up last year and again this year by Mr. Maclay. The purpose of this organization is to promote an interest in Science and to discuss scientific topics not taken up in class. Many interesting programs were given much to the benefit and appreciation of the members. The first meeting was especially interesting because a special program had been prepared. At one of the more recent meetings a short play “The Wizard’s Dream” was given which will be given in chapel. A movie “The Gorilla Hunt” was given to secure funds for the club. It was a success, thanks to the hearty support given by the students. Many educational reels for chapel were also obtained by The Science Club. Not withstanding the fact that the requirements this year were harder to meet than formerly, many new members were taken into the club. The officers at the beginning of the year were: ... Ernest Getto Robert Sweitzer ... Marian Hall Treasurer ......................................... Helen Bowers President ..... Vice President Secretary ..... Seventy-five THE COMMERCE CLUB ¥ JOHN MOCHNICK The Commerce Club has again taken a leading part in extra curricular activities in the High School this year. Primarily the purposes of the club are: to create and establish interest in Commercial studies; to give these subjects a wider recognition, and to associate these studies with industrial pursuits. Regular monthly meetings were held for the disposal of club business. For these meetings speakers were obtained who gave talks relative to club interests. Rev. Van Saun, a local minister gave a wonderful picture of “European Values.” Mr. Ira A. Leech spoke on “Accountancy,” in its broader sense and possibilities. Mr. Euwer of Jeannette also spoke to the Club. The Club put on an educational show, “The Man Without a Country,” which, through efforts of the club members was highly successful. Other features of club activity were visits to industrial plants, and the not-to-be-forgotten annual Club Party. The high standing which the Commerce Club has maintained must be attributed to the efforts of Miss Schall and Miss Dublino. That the next year’s Club may retain and uphold the laurels of the J. H. S. Commerce Club is our last and most sincere wish. OFICERS FIRST SEMESTER President ..... Vice President Treasurer ..... Secretary ..... Reporter ......

Since there was no other club like this one, it was extremely hard to organize. Nevertheless, the attempt was carried out nobly and today we find the Club still in existence carrying on its noble work. Through the Classical Club, not only its members but the entire school have learned much of the old Roman Life, which is so interesting and educational. The members throughout the year have been enthusiastic over the doings of the club, but a recent announcement has dampened their ardor. Miss Whalen, our “Club Adviser” will not be in J. H. S. next year. Although this will be a great loss we hope that we will find a new adviser who will do as much for our Club as Miss Whalen has done. On behalf of the Classical Club, I wish to heartily thank Miss Whalen for her untiring effort to make the Classical Club what it is today. 1926-1927 OFFICERS THE , . CLUB HELEN STUMP The Senior girls of the Class of “27” met on Monday, November 1, 1926 for the purpose of organizing a club. Under the leadership of Miss Hutchinson, the advisor. The following officers were elected: President ..................................... Helen Stump Vice President .................. Elisabeth Tanner Secretary ............................... Edna Levine Treasurer ............................... Sarah Cook Following the election we discussed plans for the year and arranged a regular date for meeting. A committee was appointed to select a name and the result was the I. I. Club. Within a short time plans were prepared for the annual Freshmen Tea on Wednesday, November 24. Two hundred Freshmen girls could be seen eagerly wending their way toward the stage which the girls of the Club had decorated for the Tea. After an interesting program, tea and dainty cakes were served. The affair was a huge success and will be remembered for a long time by all. At one of the meetings the girls decided to return to their childhood days for a few hours and on a stated afternoon almost every Senior girl could be seen wearing a broad hair ribbon. Even the teachers acom-mented on the improvement in their appearance. The I. I. Club was creditably represented in the Inter-class basketball games and the girls were proud of their team. The Club aimed to provide a spirit of friendliness between the sixty-five members, and through the meeting and social functions that has been accomplished. i. ■—... CHAPEL CHATTER Every Tuesday and Thursday at 1:08 P. M. all students in the High School look forward to seeing Mr. Stump step to the front of the Chapel platform and say: “We have with us today—” or “Some of the students have prepared a short program.” Some very unique programs have been given this year. The Dramatic Club presented a peppy musical program in charge of the Harmless Four, who were garbed in bricklayers’ attire. Le Cercle Francais put on an interesting program, the entire conversation was carried on in French, while the Classical Club also gave an interesting program conducted in Latin. The members of the Club presented two plays, “Porta” and “A School Boy’s Dream.” A group of Senior Girls presented a clever one-act play entitled “Dr. Devine;” while the Junior English department presented “All The World Loves a Lover.” Last but by no means least the Freshmen gave a very much enjoyed program on St. Patrick’s Day. It is whispered that we may anticipate some thrilling moments from the I. I. Club. We have been more than fortunate in having been delightfully entertained on several occasions by outside talent. Vocal selections were given by Mrs. Bender, accompanied by Miss Klingensmith, and by Miss Ogilvie, accompanied by Miss Elsie Jenkins. Seventy-eight C7W USIC Seventy-nine HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA ELSIE MAWHINNEY Our High School Orchestra has been in existence since 1915. Lately under the efficient supervision of Miss Anna Kressler, the Orchestra has greatly improved in ability to play, and also in numbers.

Eighty THE JEANNETTE STUDENT BAND GERALD BOETTNER The Jeannette Student Band for two years has endeavored to bring to our High School a better school spirit. To a great extent they have succeeded, but if the students of the school displayed half the enthusiasm toward the band as that shown by the citizens of the town it would succeed beyond all expectations. The band has played for the school picnics of 1925, and 1926, all the football games of 1926, St. Rocco’s Day Celebration, Catholic School Picnic, Hempfield Township School Picnic, and American Legion Four and Eight. Master Louis Byerly sang at all the occasions, and was appreciated very much by all who heard him. The band is now rehearsing in the Fourth Street Grade School every Wednesday for two hours under the leadership of Mr. Guest. The boys seem to like this better because in this building there is nothing to attract their attention from their practice. Much credit should be given to Mr. Guest in giving his time and patience in trying to make the band a success. It is hoped by the band and its followers that the friendly spirit and good will toward them will increase rapidly so all can look forward to even a greater year than ever before. THE MEMBERS OF THE BAND Adams, James Adams, Mario Blair, George Bober, Andrew Boettner, Gerald Bushyager, Granville DeAmeto, Ugo DeAmato, Mario L—— DeAmato, Guido DeAmato, Americus Dewalt, Willis Duchateu, Fred Givanelli, Louis Greenberg, Matthew Greggory, John Guy, Wayne Henry, Clarence Hylwa, John Hylwa, Max Hylwa, Custi Magyari, Pete Magyari, John Malada, Amile Marion, Alfred Orange, John Sencyskyn, Leo Schaffer, Edgar Terpko, Tony Topper, Gerald Tragesser, Charles Weisbecker, Frank Eighty-one THE GLEE CLUB ' I ELIZABETH TANNER Is the Glee Club of Jeannette High School a new organization? No. It has been in existence for a number of years, and each succeeding year improves the value of its existence as a musical organization. It is divided into the girls' and boys' choruses. The manner in which the Club has been received at entertainments has proved the capability of Miss Anna M. Kressler, and the hearty co-operation of each member. This year representatives from our Club have given entertainments in Chapel which were highly appreciated. “An Old-Fashioned Singing School” given by members of the Club must receive recognition. This year the Glee Club participates, for the third time, in the services on Baccalaureate Night, and at Commencement. May the Glee Club of Jeannette High School be long remembered by the Class of 1927, and may it have success in each succeeding year of its existence. Following are the members during 1926-1927: LEighty-two � ---------- Norene Horne and Sam Davison Pianists: Sara Brown James Billups Margaret Beamer William Buck Pauline Bartusek John Bethune Helen Baughman Oscar Burkel Ellen Backus Margaret Billups Louis Casini Mary Cready THE GLEE CLUB—(Continued) Charles Chanon Antoinette Caraccia Wayne Carey Carmel Cima Loretta Cook Elizabeth Chanon Sarah Cook Ray Doerzbacker Margaret Doumont Jess Danton Lillian Darr John Daugherty John Dunlap Adda Eaton Robert Elrick Katherine Fink Howard Ferguson Thomas Fairfull Wesley Felmly Margaret Glunt Kenneth Guy Madeline Gaskill Henry Gaub Cosette Grable Edwin Gonsowski Olga Gagliardi Eda Giovanelli John Hazlette Alice Hawks Paul Helfrick Inez Henderson Curtis Hines Georgia Hizer Leona Johnson Floyd Jordan Marguerite Jamison Grace Kepple Clara Kellner La Rue Kearns Sara Kepple Leone Kennedy Katherine Lutz John Mochnick Elizabeth Mash Alex Miano Virginia Mark Paul W.

H. S. Standing in the hall a powerful figure loomed towards us. This was Mr. Harrick who took names of the tardy ones. The, “Three Musketeers,” Marian Hall, Mildred Baughman and Helen Bowers came in late trying to dodge Mr. Harrick but were unsuccessful A bell sounded and we were almost knocked off our feet by a hurricane which passed. This was Elizabeth Love, who destroys everything on her path. For the first period we visited the gym. Hallie Nesbitt was teaching the girls how to hang by one’s feet and swing back and forth. In demonstrating Hallie’s feet refused to obey and she found herself in a heap. The second period we visited the Senior French class. There was no teacher but a great deal of commotion. Mr. Billy Sunday II or Ernest Getto was frantically waving his hands back and forth trying to convert the rest to his cause. Ugo D’Amato was busy studying and at the same time dodging stray ink-wells thrown by Paul C. Miller. Trailing these culprits to the next class we found ourselves in Miss Hutchinson’s room, after being greeted by her sweet smile. Here I am glad to say they behaved. In the fourth assembly we sat in the last row. Here coming towards us were two of the most picturesque tableaux. In the lead was Mutt alias Olga Gagliardi and Jeff alias Josephine Everly. In the rear was Mutt alias Helen Baughman and Jeff alias Helen Patterson. Irene Gagliardi came in frantically looking for Norene Horne to discuss her latest crush. At the end of the fourth period the locker room presented the scene of a city beseiged, no-one being able to go either way. Next the odors of doughnuts in the hall made us realize that we were hungry. We left, fully determined to get back as soon as possible, which we did. Mr. Horn was keeping watch in the halls to see that the people who brought their lunch did not run away with the school. At 12:50 we discovered a teacher’s meeting of Mr. Myers and Mr. Henry at Mr. Henry’s door. There were also several private meetings in the hall. (1) Evelyn Ressler and Roy Wolfe. (2) Irene Kealey and Bill Best. (3) Ira Stinson and Carmella Eberly. There being a special meeting in chapel program we decide to go in. Mr. Horn was advertising the Dramatic play by having selections by The Cardinals. This music was enjoyed by the audience. The fifth period we went to Mr. Henry’s room where Bob Sweitzer was helping Mr. Henry Explain a problem. On reaching the second floor during the sixth period we saw a young girl, Sarah Cook, staggering out of a door nearly overcome by the delightful odors of the Chemistry Laboratory. The seventh period we went to Mr. Leinbach’s room, which was half empty. “The Manor train must be late again.” The train finally arrived and the room began to fill up. Addie Eaton began to take her daily dozen with Richard Blansett and Adolph Berger. At the end of the seventh period we were walking through the halls when we were attracted by a score of girls surrounding Mr. Henry, wanting their marks changed. No need for our aid for Mr. Basom and Mr. Myers came to his rescue. At 4:00 we left the building vowing to come back and see, the Dramatic Club play, “It Happened in June,” which Mr. Horn ably advertised. Ninety IMPORTANT HISTORICAL EVENTS (Freshman Year) IRENE GAGLIARDI LAURA CATALDO Sept. 1923 Norene Home decided to wear green throughout her Freshman Year. The results of her untiring efforts are still to be seen. Paul W. Miller explored the high school building and found more than two stories to it, much to his surprise. Oct. 1923. Milton Engstrom did not succeed in escaping the shears of the upper class men. Dorothy Tomlinson invented an easy method of solving Algebra and was granted a patent by Miss Holdren. Leonard Jacobson combined the New York dialect with Latin, which was quite amusing to his classmates. Nov. 1923. Olley Evans began her career as a basketball star. Glenn Myers was obliged to raise a beard because of a bet he made on the Norwin game. Dec. 1923. The Freshman class, overwhelmed with joy at being given a Christmas vacation, returned after Santa had paid them a visit. Jan. 1924. As a fulfillment of Santa’s promise the following did not take any exams: Dorothy West, Helen Baughman, Josephine Everly and Leona Bomblatus. The whole Freshman class resolved to be exempted the second semester. Feb. 1924. Jack Brown publicly announced himself to be a man as he had donned long trousers. Olga Gagliardi was very much enthused about the first high school dance she was to attend. Mar. 1924. Geraldine Helly made a startling announcement that she had grown a quarter of an inch since she had enrolled in the school. Marie Denunzio surprised us by announcing that she had gained two pounds. (Of course we didn’t believe it??) Dan Deluzio became active in literary but gradually tamed down. This date should recall to Robert Sweitzer the honor that was bestowed on him by visiting the principal’s office. We dare not tell the fundamental purpose of the visit!!!! April 1924. Many fell victims to the trickery of the first day of this month. The outstanding victims were George McHenry, Marian Hall, Mary Gaut and Kenneth Guy. May 1924. Henry Gaub being accustomed to using the Gaskill school bell as an alarm clock was surprised one morning, on his arrivel at the school building to find the doors locked and the place deserted. Just then he heard the seven o’clock whistle blowing—it is still a mystery as to how he was awakened. William Best adopted the platform of wearing no-man’s coat collar. (He doesn’t). June 1924. Last days of Freshman Life for Class of “27.” During these days some startling news was heard. Margaret Hiteshue prepared to make a trip to Egypt in order to study hieroglyphics. Agnes Miller planned to study spring flowers as a result of her knowledge of Science. Ernest Getto was forming a Civic Club consisting of members of his class, so as to keep order among the incoming Freshmen. Edna Levine was putting to practical use, her business arithmetic knowledge by figuring discount on furniture. Ninety-one ORATORICAL CONTEST SARAH COOK Jeannette High School entered for the second time, the Oratorical Contest, held in the High Schools of the country. The subjects, as before, were based on the Constitution and the men who made it possible for the Constitution to exist. There were contestants from each of the four classes. The contestants from the Freshman Class were: Darylle Kifer and Americus DeAmato; the Sophomore Class; Charles Doberneck, Ethel Backus, Josephine Mull, Catherine Reuter, Joseph Monn and Wilma Hansen; the Junior Class; Clifford Bushyager, Mario Adams, Kenneth Denton, and Rachel Elrick; and the Senior Class; John Rankin and Grace Sadler. Charles Doberneck and Ethel Backus of the Sophomore Class; Mario Adams and Kenneth Denton of the Junior Class; and the two contestants from the Senior Class and the two contestants from the Freshman Class met on Friday, March 25, in the High School auditorium for the purpose of choosing the representative for the contest at New Kensington. Kenneth Denton was chosen the representative, with Charles Doberneck as his substitute. At the contest at New Kensington on April 1, there were representatives from Greensburg, Arnold, Parnassus, Franklin Township and Jeannette. Kenneth Denton was chosen the winner of this contest. On April 18, at Greensburg, Kenneth Denton met representatives from the counties and the high schools of Eastern Ohio, Northern West Virginia and Western Pennsylvania. The winner was Russel Marino who represented Washington county Daniel S. Spengler of Fimdale received second place and Muzio C. DeAngelis of Connellsville, third place. Each contestant received a silver cup emblematic of section or county championships. The Judges were Rev. Clyde N. Nevins, Pastor of Smithfield Methodist Episcopal church, Pittsburgh, William B. McFall, Attorney, Former Instructor in Law, Duquesne University and Dr. E. D. Graper, Department of Political Science, University of Pittsburgh. Jeannette High School is looking forward to the next year in which we hope to be as successful as, or more successful than the present year. SPORTS Ninety-three FOOTBALL CAMP GLENN MYERS Jeannette’s football training camp was located near Waterford, which is a few miles east of Ligonier. The site was a beautiful one and although the boys had little time to survey the scenery it was nevertheless appreciated. At this beautiful place the boys practiced for a week. The squad improved steadily and the work of the last day pointed to a typical Jeannette season. Much candy was sent to the boys but the coaching staff took care of it so that the boys did not get too much (if any.) A swimming pool was situated near the camp and afforded the boys a refreshing bath after each practice. The great thrill of the camp occurred one night when Joe Saitz awoke everybody with his seemingly death call. When the matter was investigated it developed that somebody had placed a crab in Joe’s bunk and it had taken a liking to his pink skin and attached itself to Joe, much to his disapproval. The favorite anthem was “Any Ice Today Lady” which was heard on the phonograph from morn till night. John Minkle’s stalking skill nearly captured a canary for him but he did not put his hat over it quick enough and John returned mournfully to camp. ■■ THE FOOTBALL SEASON GLENN MYERS The indications at camp which showed that Jeannette would have a good team proved true. Under the splendid coaching of Jordan and Harrick, the team became a leading contender for the Syracuse Cup and the W. P. I. A. L. championship. Only the scoreless tie with Norwin eliminated the Red and Blue from further consideration. The fans backed the boys to the limit and were rewarded for their support by the fine record our team achieved. The true Jeannette fighting spirit was shown especially in the California game when, with only a minute to play, the Jeannette gridders scored a touchdown to win 6-0. Again in the Dubois game the Red and Blue warriors came from behind in the last quarter to win 14-3. Jeannette High School was not defeated by a High School team but met a defeat when the Kiski Preparatory team barely managed to eke out a victory in the second half. The Norwin game drew the largest crowd that ever witnessed a football game in Jeannette and they received the treat of their lives. The final game on Thanksgiving Day was the crowning event of the year, for Jeannette received sweet revenge for last year by defeating Latrobe 52-0. Jeannette will lose 7 varsity men this year through graduation and the eight semester rule, but due to the abundance of reserve material another good season is anticipated. Following is a schedule of Games and Results: Jeannette 18 Vandergrift 0 Jeannette 13 Kiski 40 Jeannette 33 Peabody 0 Jeannette 14 DuBois 3 Jeannette 32 Somerset 0 Jeannette 6 California 0 Jeannette 0 Norwin 0 Jeannette 52 Latrobe 0 Total 168 Total .... 43 Ninety-five ---------- BOYS BASKETBALL WILLIAM BEST Coach—L. P. Jordan Captain—Glenn Myers FORWARDS—Witalis, Linhart, Jacobson, Best. GUARDS—Doerzbacher, Daugherty, Mvers, Staney. CENTERS—Drake, Izze. The Jeannette High School Basketball team played through one of the hardest schedules the school has ever had, winning one out of the ten league games played. Jeannette was entered in the Western Pennsylvania Inter-scholastic Athletic League this year, playing in Section XI. Such teams as Scottdale, Uniontown, Latrobe, Greensburg and Connellsville made up this section. Our first week of practice was held before Christmas when Coach Jordan was greeted by forty candidates. Coach Jordan had but one letter man left from last year with which to build a team around, this being Myers. He later built up two teams. These teams were made up from the Junior and Senior classes. On the Junior team were such men as Witalis, Doerzbacher, Drake, Linhart and Daugherty. The Senior team being composed of Jacobson, Best, Izze, Myers and Staney.

Jordan Coach-—Francis Alexander More interest was shown in basketball this past season, than ever before, and the results were quite encouraging. The girls out-shone the boys by losing but four of the thirteen games played. The big games of the season were those played with our old rival Norwin High School. The Norwin Sextet practically “mopped up the floor” in the first game, but the return game played at Jeannette proved more exciting. In the first half the Jeannette girls were leading with Norwin close at their heels. The second half was a real battle with Norwin winning by the close score of 19-17. At the close of the season the Athletic Association entertained the Girls and Boys squads at a dinner and dance, which was carried out very nicely in the way of a Saint Patrick affair. The squad loses four “letter” girls by graduation, with seven “letter” girls remaining for the varsity of next year. Our line-up: Forwards: Clara Del Vecchio ’27, Olivia Evans ’27, Agnes Smith ’29, Marian Baughman ’29. Centers: Helen Stump ’27, Margaret Klingensmith ’29. Side Centers: Marie Ticken ’29, Genevieve McCormack ’28, Stella Kocinsky ’27.

These games were played by teams representing the different classes . The team of each class was required to play the teams representing each of the other classes. The team winning every game wfas then the wdnner of the series. The boys playing for these teams had to have certain averages in their lessons and each class was limited to the number of boys allowed on the team. Interest in these games was far greater than it had been in the past, which was shown by the increase in the number of students attending these games. A possible reason for the increase of this interest may be because of the close margin by which these series were won. Each team was about the best to be had from the students, making it an almost evenly matched series. As shown by the Juniors, the hardest foe to overcome in the series, bravely lost their games to the Senior Boys by a close margin. While the Freshmen, that small, but fast and hard fighting team, won all their games until the last, which, like the Juniors, they lost to the Seniors. The Sophomores also lost a hard game, leaving the boys of ’27 the winners of the series. ■O Girls Inter-class Basketball GLADYS SHIRLEY One of the most interesting and consistently attended features of this year was the inter-class basketball series. The series was conducted for two reasons: First, in order to bring out the best talent in players for the coming varsities; second, to stimulate more interest in basketball, and perhaps I should give a third reason, to provide an outlet for enthusiasm and amusement. A special meeting of each class was called for the purpose of organizing their team and to select a coach and captain. They also made a resolution that they would w’in the championship for their class. The first game was between the Senior and Sophomore teams, who were old rivals. After a hard fought battle, the Seniors came out victorious, leaving the Sophomore team in second place, which they were able to hold throughout the remainder of the season. Due to the excellent coaching of Mr. Leinbach, the Senior team wras able to go through the season without being defeated, thus winning the championship for the class of 1927. Standing of the teams: Won Lost Seniors 3 0 Juniors 1 2 Sophomore 2 1 Freshman 0 3 N Ninety-eight T-R-A-C-K PAUL C. MILLER Track in J. H. S. has, in the several years past, become a more and more popular branch of athletics. The 1926 season opened with Coach Lloyd Jordan calling a meeting of all boys interested in this sport, and urging that a large number respond. After this practice was soon started and with the new material and those left from the last year, the prospect looked very good. The chief object was to get a team in shape for the County Meet at Latrobe on May 14 and the Carnegie Tech and Pitt Meet coming later. It was with this object in view that the Inter-Class Meet was held on our own athletic field; which proved a success and was attended by many of the students. The team went to Latrobe where they made a very good showing by establishing one county record and retaining another made the year before, and placing high in quite a few other entries. Wilson, of our school, holds the county record for the broad jump and Bernard has led all comers for two successive years in the shot put. In all, the team scored 31 points in the meet. A few of the boys went to the Pitt and Carnegie Tech meet and won honors there. The letter men for 1926 were: Doherty, Capt., Clarkson, Fyfe, Miller, J. Witalis, Wilson, Baughman and Bernard. Oi CHEER LEADERS GEORGE B. McHENRY Rah! Rah! Rah! do those words sound familiar to you? Do they bring old memories of good times to your mind? Every student in Jeannette High School should answer yes. The cheer leaders for the football season of 1926 were James Linhart, Wesley Felmey, and George McHenry. These boys were selected by tryouts given in the auditorium. The task of cheer leading this year was doubly hard, as all the boys were new at it. It will be hard indeed to forget the rousing cheer practices we had in the auditorium, and I am sure we will never forget the one before the Norwin game, and above all I am sure we will not forget the game itself. The cheering at this game was great, and how about the color waving by the J. H. S. student body? It sure was wonderful. Students do you know that more people paid admission to see this game than any other game played in the W. P. I. A. L. last season? You should therefore feel proud to cheer for a team like ours. Ted Levin, one of last year’s cheerleaders assisted in leading cheers at this game. The pupils of Jeannette High should feel honored to cheer for the great fighting teams that our able Coaches Jordan and Harrick turn out. Students do you know that cheering is at least one half of the game, and that if you cheer the boys will fight that much harder and eventually “bring home the bacon.” All right gang, let’s go with a big Locomotive Fight. Are you ready? Hip! Hip! Ik Ninety-nine ie j | The Air Flight Of The '27 Class As Freshies we were in the planes Ready to leave the ground, But the storm of Science, Civics and Latin Held us to our mound. Nevertheless we toiled so hard To get the engine right, And by our willful efforts great We were ready to leave by night. Then slowly we ascended high With Sophomores colors gleaming, And with a more determined will To wear the honors streaming. But then alas we shouted loud For great was our surprise, When ’twas found that we were Juniors Mounting towards the skies. But, we did not stop our flight For our coveted shore, On we toiled and steered our plane Towards that higher door. On we mounted higher and higher Then a terrific roar, The once green Freshies shouted, “Now We have reached the Senior’s door.” So our plane has stayed up high Seniors at last we are, Ready to climb in another plan, The College plane in the stars. ADA OTT One hundred SOCIETY One hundred one CALENDAR AGNES MILLER Sept. 2, 5, 6—Registration! What a time! How should we know which of the new teachers we wanted? How could I take History and my friend take French at the same time so that all our other classes could be together? Sept. 7—At last the day has arrived. Now we can clearly see the nine months ahead of us. Such a muffling, scuffling, shuffling, chattering and even scattering when Mr. Stump was seen approaching. Of course that applies only to the Freshmen! Sept. 7—After all this had ceased or partly so Mr. Stump summoned us to the auditorium to hear our welcome address which was responded to by a great rush for home as soon as “that is all the announcements for today” was heard. Sept. 8—Classes! And Miss Harshey said, “First impressions always last the longest.” That is why Wayne Patterson, George McHenry, and Glenn Myers behaved so well. Sept. 9—Miss Hutchinson made her debut by telling Marian Hall, Helen Bowers, and Mil Baughman to use their vanity cases some where else other than in the class-room. So now they wait until they go through the halls. Sept. 20—Always late! Neil Thompson and Leonard Jacobson arrive. Sept. 22—Because several of the Senior girls just naturally look at George McHenry whether because of his great attractiveness or for some other reason he was blamed for causing the racket in Miss Dickroger’s report room. Oct. 4—The Senior officers were elected. Oct. 5—The Senior Girls take the name of the I. I. Club. Some mysterious atmosphere seemed to move about the school and quite a bit of interest was taken in the peculiar symbol appearing on Miss Hutchinson’s board. The boys soon realized that a girl can keep a secret SOMETIMES. Oct. 15—The Seniors hold their first party. It was a success considering it being our first party of the season and also the number of our class living out of town. Nov. 12—Norwin game. Nov. 15—No one felt like going to school after the Norwin game but we went nevertheless. We were given our High School dance too. Nov. 24—The Senior Girls delightfully entertained the Freshmen girls to afternoon tea. Nov. 25—Thanksgiving Day. No school. Dec. 9.—Several of the Senior Girls tried their teaching ability by trying to keep order in Mr. Horn’s classes. Elsie Mawhinney, Sara Cook, Irene Gagliardi and Agnes Miller sure will be some teachers. Dec. 10—A kidnappers Party. Who would have thought it? All these dignified Seniors appearing in hair ribbons and overalls. Dec. 13—Not over it yet. The Senior Girls were again the center of attraction. All wearing bright hair ribbons to classes. Dec. 16—A Football Banquet and Dance were held in the gym. The Seniors showed up well and why shouldn’t we with the number of stars in our class? Dec. 17—Christmas pageant. Dec. 22—No school until January 3. Jan. 3—Back again. Somethting to look forward to. The mid-year in only 15 more days. One hundred two r C. 1LEND 1R—Con ti n u od Jan. 14—Report cards came out and then the discussion began. Why hadn’t more of us talked a little less and studied a little more? Jan. 19, 20, 21—Ah—Mid-Years and one little girl had “three in the morning and one in the afternoon.” Jan. 21—High School Dance. Just a celebration over our exams. Jan. 31—Officers for the yearbook were elected and all agreed they were just the right ones. Feb. 16—The pennants were ordered. We all wondered when John Mochnick had become so popular among the girls and here he was only collecting pennant money. What is the idea of all the girls having their hair curled and the boys wearing their best suits and flashy ties? Haven’t you guessed it—The pictures are being taken. Feb. 22—Patrons’ night. Yes all the students are doing fine work now. We even studied our lessons “to make a good impression.” Feb. 29—No assignments. Chapel cut out Chemistry classes and the Sr. Girls beat the Sophomores in inter-class basketball. Mar. 8—The day after the Sr.-Jr. game. Leanard Jacobson arrived two minutes after nine, avec un oeil noir. Mar. 14—A new system of bells went into effect. Three minutes to get to your classes. It is possible now to leave in the middle of a sentence we do not know how to finish. April 1—No school—April Fool! May 24—Class play. May 27—Junior Prom. May 29—Baccalaureate. May 31—Class Night. June 1—Commencement exercises. June 2—Picnic and Commencement Dance. The twenty-second of May dawned, the day in which many hopes, desires and tragedies were to be fulfilled. The day, during which the sun shone accompanied by a cool breeze, was followed by a perfect evening, cool and clear. The wise old moon rode in all his glory accompanied by his court of stars illuminating the road to the one and only interesting spot of the time, “The Greensburg Country Club.” Here the Junior Class of “26” was holding the Junior Promenade. The club due to the brillance of the electric lights, could be seen afar. Driving up the vista one could see numerous cars of all makes parked in various convenient places. Nearing the porch one could distinguish the musical tones of Ive Fiscus Orchestra above the shuffling of the feet of at least a hundred couples. The club rooms were decorated by the junior and senior class colors accompanied by the various hues of Dame Fashion’s latest creations. When all has assembled the great event of the evening arrived, “The Grand March.” This was led by our class president, George McHenry with Miss Gillespie. This was terminated by the distribution of the favors by Randolph Linhart costumed in blue and white and Marian Merrell costumed in red and white. The favors for the boys consisted of brightly colored hats and canes, for the girls pert dollies perched coquettishly on tall quilted bamboo sticks. The great asset to the Junior Promenade was the congeniality of our patrons and patronesses who were the following: Dr. and Mrs. W. O. Linhart, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Long, Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Ringer, Miss Edith Fischer, Mrs. M. B. Tres-cher, Dr. W. H. Kern Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Boettner and Mr. and Mrs. H. M. Gar-man. Above all we extend our deepest gratitude to Mary White, George McHenry, Helen Baughman, Leonard Jacobson, William Best and Olga Gagliardi who made the evening possible. At one o’clock the cars slowly wended their way from the various parking places to their intended destination, thus lowering the curtain of a never to be forgotten social event in the life of the class of “27.” OUR PROM LEONA BOMBLATUS One hundred thrc SENIOR EVENTS '“1 OLGA GAGLIARDI “Life is a jest Take the delight of it. Laughter is best, Sing through the night of it.” —Guest Oh, Lou, can you imagine? I’ve been asked to write of our social activities. What will I do? So much to tell about and so little space to use. Time does borrow wings! Why, it seems but yesterday when the Seniors in full glory entered the gym for their first party. Do you recall how bravely the Seniors strove to assume dignity and how well many succeeded? Ah! the pride of a Senior. The gym was artistically decorated in red and white and lo! there was the Jazz orchestra ready to give us any enthusiasm that we might lack. We had a fine representation of the faculty and together we spent the evening dancing and playing games. Delicious refreshments were served and by the time the orchestra was ready to play “Good-Night Ladies” the first Senior party had been voted an undoubted success, and as our town paper would say “an enjoyable time was had by all.” Then early in December our second frolic! Passing Miss Dublino’s room one day I saw a group of Seniors in animated conversation. In short it ’twas— A whisper and then a silence Yet I knew by their merry eyes They were plotting and planning together To take us by a surprise. —Longfellow And what do you suppose the surprise was all about? Why, plans had been made for a Kidnapping Party! It took the Seniors by storm and for the days that followed it was not unusual to see a Senior looking very wise and giving short evasive replies to questions concerning his or her costume. Finally the night arrived bringing with it a little rain, but though it dampened the ground it had no similiar effect on our spirits. Being optimists, we took it as a good omen, did we not? At the appointed time, figures, wholly unrecognizable save for the familiar smiling faces began entering the gym. One could see hair ribbons of every size and color adorning the girls’ heads. The girls wore anything from modem gingham gowns to borrowed finery of ’90. The boys wore old, ragged clothes. And wasn’t everything so childish ? The girls had a difficult time keeping their dolls from the fatal hands of the boys. A variety of childish games were played, frequently interrupted by short rest periods during which time the Seniors forgot their dignity and whole heartedly enjoyed a red, yellow or green loly pop. In addition the boys were given chocolate cigars which disappeared in an amazingly short time. The committee had prepared the most delicious refreshments and so much of them! At 11:30 there started a wild search for dolls and ribbons and then the Seniors took reluctant leave of the best party they had ever attended. Thanks to Miss Hutchinson. Now Lou, don’t mention a word to anyone but we have been discussing plans for another Senior frolic towards the latter week of April. It is really going to be a big affair since it will be our last party at school. Then don’t forget that the Senior banquet is only a few weeks off and then Prom and last but not least the Commencement dance. In short, has not this year been the most active in social events, and have not the Seniors endeavored to make every dance and party a success? We believe— Life is a song; Dance to the thrill of it. Grief’s hours are long, And cold is the chill of it. fa0 One hundred four —Guest SENIOR PLAY ADAM AND EVA “Adam and Eva” is a clever and amusing play on the American business man who has a genius for making money but not a trace of talent for managing his own family. James King, the wealthy father, has two extravagant daughters, a son-in-law, a sister-in-law, an old uncle dependent upon him. These relatives show him consideration only when he poises pen above check book, they even arrange with his physician to have him go away on a long trip, so that they may sum up bills more freely. Then appears the father’s young business manager, Adam Smith, who tells his employer how he would love a home. The exasperated father tells him they will change places and puts him in command of the household, himself lighting out for the Amazon where he has business interests. The young man soon finds himself confronted by a hurricane of flippancy and terrific bills. As a desperate remedy he deludes the family into thinking' that father’s big rubber business is ruined. In divers and humorous manners they meet the emergency. Of course it does them all good and brings out the best in them. It also shows Eva which of her many suiters really love her and what is equally important which one she really loves' THE CAST James King, a wealthy man ................................

OUR CHEMISTRY CLASS HELEN BAUGHMAN They used to say of a favorite class; we always studied our lessons; we always behaved becomingly; we loved our teacher and our teacher loved us. No, we wouldn’t say just that about our chemistry class for we can say so much more. We might praise it to the skies for logical reasons but only its members will ever realize what it meant to us (valences, quiz lecture and Mr. Maclay.) The class had its peculiar traits along with those ultra wise ones. Our laboratory was very successful with no accident of any consequence—if we exclude the tubercular prospects of a few of our number after having surprised their lungs with a volume of chlorine gas—if we neglect a few cries of distress, a slight explosion, a few marred fingers and, what wrung our hearts, when we saw one of our masculine classmates brush past a locker, heedlessly break six new test tubes, a sixty cent flask and then find to his amazement that his ring had been appropriated by someone who, we assume, was in dire need of a bit of chemical apparatus—if we might omit the nervous trouble of our feminine chemists when someone applied a bit of offhand knowledge or undertook an attempt to startle the world with a discovery and found to his chagrin his reward was but a panic of the chemistry class. A bit less active seemingly was our lecture and quiz but fully as many reactions appear. McHenry all unintentionally, proved that air would support combustion when he dropped a match into the inkhole; he supplied also the reason for a fire extinguisher which sad to relate, was exhibited too late on that occasion. Variety was the spice of the class for there was even that element of romance. You see the bonds of valence were forever holding hands, some of them indulging in prmanent lovers tiffs (oxygen and fluorine and a great many with the most touching affinities. There were times when we had to stop for a moment to determine whether it was sarcasm or irony or even as we once discovered all B-U-N-K. Our quizes were never so hard but what they might have been harder and although our instructor had perfect confidence in our ability as chemistry students, our knowledge was not always so vast but what it might have included just a few things on that mimeographed sheet before us. Just before one memorable quiz Mr. Maclay performed a slight explosion while our minds were fearing the flunk list and per chance to let us rearrange our knowledge. But now we come to the mainspring of our account to whom we owe it all, Mr. Maclay. We have served upon him many trials unduly (for he must clean out the sinks due to our carelessness) and we are truly sorry for all trouble we have caused him, to whom it would appear that Tomlinson was the only child of the family, of whom we might never accuse—“Hyperbole.” We have trusted him even while he was telling us chemical fibs and he has placed us in a debt to him for an exceptional course in Chemistry and for a sixth and seventh period which none of us would forego. Our Chemistry class is a tie that binds us to happy memory of hours veil spent and we have ordered the chemical minister to issue a blessing of all that is best to Mr. Maclay. One hundred seven BASKETBALL BANQUET S. STANEY On Thursday evening, March 17, the girls’ and boys’ basketball squads were given a banquet which was served in the Domestic Science rooms of the High School. Before entering the room, where the banquet was served, each boy and girl had to draw a slip of paper to determine who would be partners for the evening, and at which table that party was to be served. The feast was prepared and served by the Domestic Science girls of the school and it was speedily done away with by the hungry boys and girls. The usual amount of joking and laughing which accompanies an occasion of this kind was not missing, as everyone took part in the merry-making. The two squads were honored by the presence of Mr. Stump, and both the girls’ and the boys’ coaches. After the banquet the boys and girls went to the gymnasium, where a dance was being held in their honor, and further enjoyed themselves. All reported a very enjoyable evening. O FOOTBALL BANQUET GLENN MYERS Our High School Football squad was feted several times in honor of the splendid record they made. The first of these festivals was held at Waltons. It was sponsored by Sam Felder and Pete Mark. The menu included spaghetti and chicken and the gridders did justice to the delicious meal. During the course of the evening each boy received a gift from the business men of the town and each token was duly appreciated by the defenders of the Red and Blue. Short talks were given by Coach Jordan and Mr. Horn. Each spoke of the fighting spirit and co-operation of the squad and commended the team of 1920 on their fine record. Mr. McNally, a local booster of all Jeannette teams, acted as toast-master. The second affair was the annual football banquet, which was held in the library of the High School. The room was beautifully decorated with the beloved Red and Blue colors and everything harmonized with the spirit of the occasion. The guests included the band, cheer leaders, members of the School board and several faculty members. Miss Brown and her assistants served a very tasty meal and the boys’ appreciation was shown by the amount which they ate. Mr. Horn acted as toast-master and introduced Mr. Jordan. He gave an interesting talk especially to the fellows who intend to go to college next year. He emphasized the idea of “sticking” to the job even if you have to sit on the bench for several years. He also gave good advice to the fellows who will make up Jeannette’s team next year. Captain John Minkle then presented Jordan with a gold pen-knife on behalf of the squad. The “letter” men were announced and elected Bernard Burzio, tackle, as the captain for next year. Later in the evening a dance was held in the gym in commemoration of the successful year of 1926. This last event lowered the curtain on the close of one of the most successful football season of Jeannette High School. One hundred eight OUR JANITORS KENNETH GUY We feel that our Year Book would not be completed, as much as we have tried to make it so, without honorably mentioning our custodians. Is it not our Janitors and Janitress who are responsible for the comforts and cleanliness that prevail in our school rooms which make it possible for us to do our best work ? Who in our High School can ever forget the jovial face and familiar Hello! of Mr. Connor? He has proved a friend in need to a number of our unlucky students who have met with accidents on rainy days, on their way to school. Can they ever forget the hospitality of Mr. Connor’s room? Since Mr. and Mrs. Kleist do most of their work after the school hours, they are not so well known among the students, but just the same they are responsible for the comfort of the students. Especially Mr. Kleist who has the job of cleaning up the broken “test tubes” in the Chemistry Laboratory and by doing this takes away the evidence of carelessness and secures a better grade for the students for neat Laboratory work. Our sympathy is with Mrs. Kleist who finds the Study Hall a “free parking place” for chewing gum, which had been parked there by students especially on seeing a teacher coming in their direction. Now, since these things have been mentioned, I think we will all agree that the Janitors and Janitress are also important factors in our school life. FARE WELL IN BEHALF OF-----CLASS OF ’27 With the coming of June our thoughts turn to the approaching commencement. The glad time of each year that marks another milestone past in our journey of progress. But it is with a feeling of regret that we realize that among its many joys—graduation also brings its sorrows. Along our paths through our school days many associations are formed and acquaintances are made which will endure through all our lives. At commencement time we must sever these associations. We feel this sadness this year perhaps more than ever before; for besides parting with our classmates we are called upon to say adieu to one of our dear teachers, Miss Whalen, who for the past six years has been a help and inspiration to every student in our school. Although Miss Whalen is leaving us we wish her to know that we hope to continue our progress to the lofty ideals which she always kept before us. In saying good-bye, Miss Whalen, we also wish you to know that we are glad that other students are to receive your friendship and splendid teaching even though we regret our loss. Farewell, Miss Whalen, farewell. One hundred nine 4 2J JUST FOR FUN! SENIOR ALPHABET FRANK YARLETT ami HELEN BOWERS Helen Patterson .....................H. P. Kathrine Kifer ......................K.

Uneeda Doughnut o “THE BOYS” KATHERINE KIFER Not every class can be lucky enough to have a gang of boys like the cla=s of ‘27.’ There are boys talented in almost every line from causing riots to being “mama’s” boys There are all sizes excepting a heavyweight, although we do have chubby Martin Palicka, who fills his clothes to perfection, while we have to look twice when we see John Rankin coming to make sure he is there. We also have the impersonators of Mutt and Jeff in the persons of Jack Brown and Bill Best, who make quite a comparison. Our one-man orchestra, George, and the all around athlete, Glennv, find good practice for both professions in blowing balloons. Of course we have Mark Twain’s Tom Sawver in the person of Frank Yarlett, smothered in freckles. But we must say the boys are a jolly lot. Izzie and Jacobson don’t mind staging a boxing bout several times a w’eek for the rest of the class. Naturally the beauty of the class is vested in the girls but the bovs must have some credit. Milton is a true Greek God while we have our sheiks from the out-of-town districts—Charles Graham, John Yerina, and John Mochnick. We are also blessed with a pair of twins, different from most twins. It’s really queer how two Paul Millers got into the class of ’27. We are expecting Getto to be a great actor with Tommy Fairfull as his business manager, both because of their ability and talkativeness. If it wasn’t for the Senior Boys it wouldn’t be possible for the football team, basketball team, orchestra or the band to exist because we have many experts and born players. But taking all in all our boys really have a promising future before them. One hundred eleven Tf SENIOR CONFESSIONS HELENE BETHUNE Baughman, Helen—I always have been better and in the future intend to be best. I aspire to be a dietition and help all those who are fat and want to be lean and vice versa. Baughman, “Mil”—The 90’s of yesterday today are few. I am merciful Father, for a shining star is the humiliation of a dull one. Bauer, “Peg”—Father, I confess I am like all minister’s daughters. Beacom, Marie—Wodnick, Pauline—We confess we are not sociable enough. This is not due to any backwardness on our part, but a recognition of our worth. Best, “Bill”—I admit; The “Best” of the Senior Class; someone’s “Best” boy friend, and your “Best” always. Biss, Paul—1 confess, I am too fair and with my blush different enough to be an angel. Boettner, Gerald—I am a good little boy and could do no harm, as you already know, Father. I want to be a grand and noble man. Bomblatus, Leona—I am a real mischievous girl when away from school, Father. I am sure you do not know of this as I only speak of it to my best friends. Bowers, Helen—Hall, Marian—We are “flappers” I guess. But honest we’re very obedient and do just as our elders command. Brown, Jack—I have a bad habit of grinning even at funerals and am especially fond of jokes. Butler, Margaret—Hiteshue, “Peg”—We are great deceivers. We are not nearly as quiet as we have led some people to believe. Caddy, Thelma—My father is a butcher but unlike him, I am kind to dumb animals. Hint: Observe closely in the classroom, hereafter. Caraccia, Antoinette—I am considered to be quite conceited, however, when you get to know me you will find I have reason to be. Anna Vizzine—Caretti, Eleanor—We confess that we are the “long” and the “short” of it. Cataldo, Laura—I came here innocent and demure. I have fallen often and hard. Algebra has been my one stumbling block. Chanon, “Betz”—Mon pere:—Mv motto is and always will be, whether rightly or wrongly, “If people don’t like my style they know what they can do.” Cline, Catherine—Houston, Aileen—We don’t know what our short comings might be but whatever they are they are inseparable. Forgive us. Cook, Sarah—I have scarcely time to make a confession. I must study. Forgive me until another time. Corwin, Mary—Haines, Dorothy—We are quiet and unassuming. In fact too much so. DeAmato, Ugo—Orengio, Teno—They say there’s nothing in a name. We confess we wish thev had the same. Deluzio, Dan—Yes, I was the “Pest” of the female sex. As a dignified Senior I am somewhat changed. Del Vecchio, Clara—Shirley, Gladys—Willingly we confess we are more at home in the gym than in the class-room. Doesn’t the world need athletes as well as scholars ? Denunzio, Marie—Why can’t I grow up? I confess I am dissatisfied for someone’s always looking down upon me. Downing, Charles—The only thing I have to confess is that I am changeable. P. S. Oh! yes, I often forget to remember. Dunlap, Leah—1 don’t care to be so quiet but the rest don’t give me a chance. El rick, Robert—Know ye, that I am neither wise nor otherwise. Engstrom. Milton—I cannot receive that diploma with a clear conscience until I have acknowledged how much I have bluffed. I bluffed through Sophomore, I bluffed through Junior now I am bluffing toward the end and intend to keep up the bluff through life. Evans, Olley—I confess 1 am little but “Oh! My!” Everly, “Joe”—“To bob or not to bob!!!!????” Sure that time’s coming. Fairfull, Thomas—Mochniek, John—We confess membership in the “Sons of Labor.” Floyd, Ethlyn—Whiteman, Louis—Our faults can be summed up in the two little words “Modest and Backward.” Gagliardi, Irene—You know I am much different from the other Seniors. I have never dimmed” a teacher or given anyone aid. Thank goodness, I am not one of these Publicans. Gagliardi, Olga—As confessions are under way, let me say, my greatest fault is writing “Cave-man” Poetry. Gaub. Henry—I love no one and no one loves me. This is true, Father, though many don’t believe it. One hundred twelve SENIOR CONFESSIONS—Con tin u d Gaut, Mary—The “Excelsior” of my life is to become fat. I have tried exercise, heavy eating and tonic but to no avail. Remember, this is a secret, Father. . Getto, “Ditto”—Dear “Pop.” It grieves me greatly that I am so wild. I enjoy it but some one might notice it. Graham, Charles—McHenry, George—We confess we are very industrious. We study when we have nothing else to do. Guy, “Ken”—Staney, Stanley—We both like to knock but we consider this a privilege for fellows so small. Helly, Geraldine—I have only one thing to confess. I possess that fault peculiar to women. That of telling secrets. However, Father, Don’t let this be known. Hoenshell, Virginia—I am continually trying to mend my ways so that my little sister, Winiphred will know how to act when she becomes a Senior. Hepler, Hazel—Yes, I have a weakness for posing for pictures. Horne, Norene—I love to wind my mouth up for I love to hear it go. Hower, Pearl—Kennedy, Genevieve—We are good-natured and firm in our convictions. Our weak point is fondness for male society. Izze, Charles—I confess, I’m either “daft” or my mind’s in Pawn. Jacobson, Leonard—Yes, I have too high an estimate of my abilities but want every person to have the same estimate. Kifer, Katherine—I am especially fond of moolight lights. Kneyp, Esther—I always have worked hard with a reward in view. Lucinda, Larimer—I confess I am not the “flapper” type. Who could imagine a “bobbed haired, light headed” flapper becoming a lawyer? Lesnick, Joseph—Miller, Paul W.—We are quiet, uncommunicative and unsociable. Levine, Edna—Matthews, Jeannette—Truly, we are trying to help those around us by showing them the value of true friendship. Lyons, Magdeline—I confess I too had a stumbling block in Chemistry. I fell hard but fully recovered. Mawhinney, Elsie—I. of necessity, am continually looking down on someone. I confess nature has been cruel. Miller, Agnes—I am Olley Evan’s shadow, as you know. Miller, Paul C.—I am pianist for the Cardinals. Nuf Ced. Myers, Glenn—After three years of self esteem a humored child becomes spoiled. I am deeply repentent for all the heartaches (?) I caused among the Senior female element at that certain J. H. S. dance. Myers, Mildred—Sadler, Grace—We are trying to be neither “uppish” nor “down-insh” but just on the level. Nesbitt, Hallie—To be devoid of an aim is to sin. So I confess my aim is to have a “Beauty Parlor” and make all things bright and beautiful. Ott, Ada—Hold your ear down close, I am a great soloist but do not want too many to hear for fear I become too popular. Patterson, Helen—I am small of size but great of capacity. Patterson, “Bob”—“To err is human, and I have been extremely human. Palicka, Martin—May I be forgiven for my fickleness? Rankin, John—I proposed once during the year. Forgive me and I will never do it again. “It Happened in June.” Lloyd, Shrum—I confess in short, that what I remember I seem to have forgot, and I know what I know as if I know it not. Stahley, Anastasia—Tanner, “Betty”—We confess we have been rather dilatory in our studies and have learned too, some of the wicked ways of the world. We are setting out together to mend our ways. Stump, Helen—I have always studied hard, never played “hook” or chewed Chewing Gum. I am the Prof’s daughter. Tambourine, Anna—I have learned to love at so young an age. I love Chemistry. Thompson, Neil—I have committed many sins but chewing gum in Mr. Henry’s room was not one of these. Tomlinson, “Dot”—I neglect the boys too much, to study, I have been known to to stay at home for a whole evening. West, Dorothy—My sins have been many both of commission and of omission, upon my shoulders rest the blame for all that was committed as well as that was omitted in this book. Wickline, Mabel—They say that I am a “fast” little girl in typing class. Yarlett, Frank—Yes, I have done many things which I should not have done and have not done many things which I should have done. Yerina, John—I confess, I am President of the Senior Kings. Amen. Bethune, Helen—Only in a whisper. Father, can I confess to having forged the above. Oh! let their conscience be their guide. One hundred CAN YOU IMAGINE??

Answers on Classified Page The Senior class play, “Adam and Eva,” sent a large audience home very pleased with clever acting, exquisite costumes, beautiful stage setting and back of all, an impressive picture of home life. The story dealt with the home | life of a wealthy rubber manu-1 facturer and his very dependent; | “dependents,” which included two | daughters, a son-in-law, a pros-1 j pective son-in-law, a maiden aunt and an uncle who was an imaginary invalid. The arrival of the; 'monthly batch of bills brought a climax in the family affairs which resulted in scheming with the family physician and friends, to send the father on a three months I vacation. Discovering that it was; a scheme on the part of his fam- j ily to secure his temporary ab-' sence, the rubber manufacturer in-! stalled in his home, his young j manager, just home from the raw’ j rubber country of the Amazon,! with the instruction to scrutinize! the bills, curb extravagance and in all respects, take a father's place.

The school annual for the year 1927, is just a bit the finest book yet published by the students of the Jeannette High school. The seniors admit it proudly, while the alumni and the undergraduates are reluctantly being persuaded of this fact. “The Red and Blue” made its appearance in the office of the principal Monday morning and there has been a steady stream of would-be possessors wending their way to the principal’s office, mornings and noons since. The editorial staff includes Miss Dorothy West, editor-in-chief; Thomas Fairfull, and Josephine Everly, associate editors; George McHenry, business manager, and William Best, associate manager. The annual is very complete with all those little class intimacies and personal writeups which provide interesting material for reminiscences in later life. In this subject matter, the usual standard of the Jeannette High school has many cuts of individual members of the class, the various club groups and the athletic groups are the chief charm of the book. The very best in the printers art is exemplified in the pictures and the general make-up of the pages. The editorial staff has dedicated “The Red and Blue” of 1927 to Miss Edna Holdren, member of the high school faculty, “whose enthusiasm and spirit of co-operation will ever be remembered, who has at all times labored most patiently with us and whose sense of humor has made our relation with her a memory we shall always hold dear,” so the editor writes. The editorial staff expresses appreciation for the help of Miss Hutchinson, of the English department, and Mr. Stump, principal of the High school. Sketches which appear throughout the book are the clever artistry of Miss Josephine Everly. “The Red and Blue” is a most creditable example of the printers art as it is produced in the workrooms of the Jeannette Publishing company. Faculty Entertains Senior Girls— Members of the High school faculty who are instructors of the senior girls and those who are associated with them as teachers in the report rooms of the High school, entertained the girls of the senior class with a very attractively appointed tea in the Library of the High School yesterday afternoon. The room was made most attractive with decorations of spring blossoms while interest centered in the tea table, where appointments were lovely as glass, china, silver and linen make possible. Delicately tinted snapdragons were used for the table decorations. Entertainment for the students included readings by Miss Vera Waits, solo dances by Miss Eva-belle Martin and vocal solos by Bobby Ott, a grade pupil whose voice is winning him favor. Teachers who received the students as hostesses were Miss Whalen, Miss Holdren and Miss Har-shey. They were assisted by Miss Hutchinson, Miss Dickroger, Miss Dublino, Miss Steele and Miss Mary Egan, the latter, secretary to the principal of the High school. Something over forty senior girls enjoyed this d j'-u‘ ' 1 hospitality.
