Jfl'Lv i l 4 -1' FD 4 . ments for a dinner party. lfyqtgllnzp gg A if kr, QQQQQE Here, Bill, put this collar button in. I don't know whether my neck has swollen or this bit of a button has shrunk,'l com- plained Thomas Gettings, a pitcher in the national league to VVilliam Taylor swimming instructor of Pittsburgh's Y. M. C. A. Put the thing in yourself. You don't see me sitting, do you ?', All was quiet for a brief interval, and then Thomas dropped to the Hoor and'-'com-rrrerrced iif' to crawl underneath the bed. l'Ho, Bill, shouted he, Turn on the lights. Itls dark as Hades heref, VVell, answered Bill, XVhat are you doing under there-playing hide and seek with yourself?' i'Naw, with that cussed buttonfl muttered Thomas, as he emerged from under the bed with the button in his hand. XVell, shake a leg, Tom,', said Bill. UHere lyll put the button in for you. Soon they were ready, called a taxi, and were taken rapidly to the Yvlilliam Penn Hotel. In the lobby they met Elizabeth VVeaver. She had become, upon the retirement of Miss Marshall, dean of girls at Langley High School. She greeted them rather impatiently with the words, '4VVhy didnlt you, say 9:30 instead of 8230? l've waited almost an hour. Couldn't help it-'Liz'beth,' replied Bill, Tom still holds the record for tardiness. Come on into the dining-room. As the three entered that room, Thomas excitedly exclaimed, Say Bill, this Gail XY. Green, famous artist, is our former class-mate, Gail Wfeiden- tqoff!! just look at her! 'Isn't she stunning? Who is that with her? Wliy it's Tut. Hurriedly the three approached their old friends. For the love of Mikef' continued Tom, Hullo Tut, haven't seen you since February, 1926. Wlhat have you been doing with yourself? Oh, Gail, echoed Elizabeth, f'You, a famous artist?,' f'Yes, answered Gail, But look at Tut. He's a star actor. He hasnlt E's and D's to keep him from being leading man now. Eloise Campbell and Helen Malter are in his supporting cast, you know, with David MacVay as comedian. just look at Tutls little mustache! Isn't he handsome? Thus she went on as if to prove that the Gail of 1938 was as glibly fluent in her speech as the Gail of old. f As Harold Lawson, wealthy glue factory owner who had staged the event and planned the party, came up, Bill greeted him with the words, l'his certainly is a pleasant surprise. Page Thirty-three LANGLEY HIGH SCHOOL 'Talking of surprises, replied Harold, 'fSamuel VVitchell came into my office the other day. What was he selling?i' asked Frank Tuttle as a matter of course. mls he as explanatory as ever?i' questioned Elizabeth. K'Yes, Sam was selling new Ford sport-model roadsters. He explained that it had a motor equal to a Rolls-Royce and would require but fifty per cent gasoline and the remainder water. As to the second question, well, he talked me into buying three cars, one for myself, one for my love, and one for charity. A , During the evening they talked of many things, but the conversation soon drifted back to their high school friends. Oh, said Gail, I received a letter from our home town yesterday. lt was from Ruth Winters. She's a music teacher, you know, and has a studio, a few blocks from here with Virginia McCahon who is a violin teacher. She said Peg Birown has at last married her beloved Clyde. By the way, she also told me that Knox Henderson had tuned her piano last 'week and that he still teaches the right way to do the Charleston. Yes, Knox used to charge us fiveteen cents in high schoolf' interrupted Elizabeth, every time he danced or jigged in the gym corridorf, Ruth saidf' continued Gail, 'fthat Billy Ashworth has bought out the C. G. Schaum grocery business and is doing well. Alice Anderson is again in Europe. George Curry is a chiropractor and Howard Steggal, you re- member him, is Ruth's family doctor. Good night, said Tom, that imp of Satar1, as Miss Fark used to say, is a doctor ! ' The death rate must be high in Sheridan, added Bill. Talking of doctors,', said Frank reminiscently, last month while I was speeding seventy-five miles an hour, a telephone pole came into my way so I ran into it and was laid up in the Allegheny General Hospital. Alberta Albaugh and Lillie McKeen were my nurses. Yes, added Tom, I met Lillie up town once. She said she was so lonesome without Bertie that she had to take up the nursing profession just to be, in some way, near her. K'VVish I had such a pal, commented Harold. Do you know that Challinor Alston and Malcoln Williams have opened a stylish tailoring establishment in the heart of our downtown district? Bunky Ruse is in their employ. It's a pity, though, Alstonis pretty wavy red hair has turned a rusty brown which he laughingly explains as a result of his study of Woolleyf' 'Alt seems perfectly natural too for Alma Short and Anna Wlilbert to have a beauty shop on Liberty Avenue, said Tom, and Ruth Warner is helping them out. They're reputed to be very good. According to my bills, fsky's the limit, seems to be their motto, re- torted Elizabeth, Hbut they are good. You know, Gail, they were always great on primping. VVhy in high school they spent every spare moment in the washroomf' Thus they chatted on during the entire dinner. After dinner Harold said, 'fLet's go to my apartment and tune in on the radio. Page T hirty-four CLASS OF JANUARY 1926 Of course the members of the little party readily consented, and soon the group was seated in Harold's car. Get me a paper, Charlie,', said Mr. Lawson to his chauffeur. Turning to his friends he declared, I noticed a familiar name in the headlines this afternoon. Then taking the paper from the chauffeur, who had now re- turned, he said, Why the name's Harry McKeen. just listen, 'Harry McKeen, noted criminal lawyer stakes defense on Darwin's Theory'. Now I know why Harry took an extra dose of Latinf, said Frank. Look lEre,l exglainled lIaQd,leacQng3loud, ALfaiLlVIatlack, his sec- retafy, will have complete control over all data involved. Good for our 'Tillie the Toiler', said Bill as the car started out. Say do you folks know? that Verden Ayers is sport editor of the New York Tribunefy' asked Tut. Yes,', replied Tom, Fine fellow is Ayres-gives me plenty of pub- licityfl By this time they had arrived at Mr. Lawsonis home. On entering the hallway, Harold picked up a visiting card which the autumn breeze had gently swept to the floor. 'fVVhy this is Bill Hattmanys cardf' he explained. Turning to his guests he read, 'called to display plans on your summer home-will call again when it is convenient' Bill is a fine architect and is at present designing a new Roland and Clarke Theatre, continued Harold as he led the way into his drawing room. In a few minutes they had their wraps off and were enjoying themselves. Harold, as usual, was working on his radio in ther farther part of the room, while his friends were joking at the library table over cartoons sketched by Charles Ackenheil, when the announcer abruptly declared that Rose Glasser would speak on K'Healthier Children. Ha, ho, that's goodf, roared Tut, 'flVhat does Rose know about chil- dren ? She ought to,,' retorted Gail, HShe's in charge of an Orphan Homef' Then from another station the announcer gave outg Miss LaDell Schrock of Wlashington, D. C., secretary to vice president Robert LaFollet, will speak on 'Better English in Letter Writing.' At last after much trouble Mr. Lawson tuned in on the Chicago Opera House and the guests heard a sweet alto voice sing, Flee As a Bird. t'VVhy that voice sounds familiarf' said Elizabeth. No wonderf' replied Mr. Lawson, holding up the radio section of the evening paper. t'Miss Ruth Bayne is the owner of that voice according to this program. Say folks, continued Mr. Lawson, jumping up in great excitement, for the once slow of movement Harold, had, at this age, become very active and energetic, Do you recognize this picture ? Wliy it says, read Tom, K'Karl joseph, famous violinist, presented to the King and Queen of Spain l 'II-Ie certainly is a credit to his distinguished namef' remarked Tut. just then the radio began to give out a series of rasping sounds. Law- son said, 'KSomething is wrong. I can't get any other station now. I'll have to call the Backinger and Goldberg Radio Repair Shop in the morning. We'll have to stop tuning in. Page T hirty- five ! --I LANGLEY HIGH SCHOOL Have you heard from Burleigh Irwin since he entered the ministry, Harold ? asked Bill. Why yes,', answered Harold, Burleigh heard that I had accumulated much wealth in the glue business and pleaded with me not to forget the poor unfortunates. He asked me to donate some money to certain charities he sponsored. He has just sent Evelyn Klinvex as a missionary into Afri- caf' VVhy it's way after one, Tut, interrupted Gail. VVell, what of it? answered that person in the same argumentative tone he used when he presided over senior class meetings, f'First time I knew you cared anything about such a little thing as timef, f'But I have an en a ement tomorrow at seven with Eleanor Aird. I . H E g physical instructor. i'Good for Eleanorfl said Tut, Shelll put some muscles into you girls. Does she give reducing exercises? asked Elizabeth who now did not have her youthful contour. Most certainlyfl was the reply. It was indeed getting late and Harold Lawson's guests got ready to leave. Just as they reached the door, Harold brought a book of ppems and smilingly read from the title-page, Poems to the Sweethearts Iive I.oved,,' by Alvin McTighe. I XVhat Alvin, a poet! exclaimed Bill Taylor. ' May I borrow the book? I should like to read Al's poems, remarked 4: at Tom. t'May I have it next?U asked Tut, Yes, indeed, replied Harold, 'I,'hey're very cleverf' There's a popular novel just outf' added Gail, AA Pair of Borrowed Ears,' by John Clements. Yes, said Tut, but the Spanish book 'Su Amor Espanolf by Eliza- beth DiGiorno has every popular novel beatf' But,'y replied Lawson, HI cant read Spanish. 'Tve heard that Miss Stella Hotham and Miss Anna Forester, English teachers at Langley, are going to translate it into Englishf' said Elizabeth. Say what has happened to Earl Mettsf' asked Harold. 'AHaven't you heard? answered Elizabeth, VVhy he has been elected to the House of Representatives. 'fWell, peoplef' interrupted Tom, A'Do you realize how long we've been talking at the door? f'Goodness, added Gail, i'IYhat will Eleanor say. She doesnt believe in keeping late hours. After promising to come again they were soon seated in Tut's car. which was unlike the one he had driven to school twelve years before with unpainted doors, simply because there was not enough paint left. 'fSay folks, said Tut. How do you like my car? None like it on the market. It has been rebuilt by Perry Karnf' - I Perry Kam! exclaimed Tom, Say our class of February, 1926, cer- tainly knows how to accomplish things. Yes,'l agreed Bill, And so little was expected of them.

I-Iow many are going to attend the popularity contest this evening, to hear the final result of the contest.

Assembly is dismissed. 4p'l'he three students in the finals are talking together in the Langley I-lallj Good English-Oh! how excited I am, only seven more hours until We shall know who really is the most popular. Oral English-fOh, if only I might win. I-Iow proud I should be of the blue ribbon. Do you, by any chance, know who the judges are to be, journalism? You usually know everything that is going on in Langley. Journalism-Yes, Miss Park, Mrs. Lewis. and Miss Jenks are to be the judges. I overheard Mr. Fickinger appointing them. Oral English-There is one thing with those judges, the most popular is bound to win. Good English-Yes, I quite agree with you, Oral English. I must be leaving you noxv, so as to be ready for the big event. Good-bye. Good English leaves. Journalism-Aren't we fortunate to have such a friend as Good English? She is so popular here in Langley that I believe she will win the blue ribbon because this contest is really to ascertain the most popular among the Langley student body, and Good English is very well known and liked. Oral English-Wvell, I don't know but, Journalism, you have many friends too. !lOL1YH3llS1l1fOH the other hand, there have been many campaign speeches made for you, Oral Englishg evidently we all have about the same chance. Oral English-I must be leaving now, good bye. May the most popular person win the blue ribbon, whoever that may be. Oral 'English leaves and journalism leaves in the opposite direction. Seene Students assembled in Langley. Hr. Fickinger-Idle are assembled in Langley this evening to determine the most popular person in Langley high school. The one who is proved to be the most popular is to receive a blue ribbon. Page Thirty-seven LANGLEY HIGH SCHOOL The students do not know who the judges are. The contest started two weeks ago with many participants, each home room having suggested names. Each day the contestants have been eliminated until the final participants are: Oral English, Good English, and journalism. The judges will make the decision basing it solely upon the merits of each contestant's argument. Journalism will be the first speaker. journalism steps to the front of the platform. Journalism-Have you ever thought just what our school would be if it were not for the Langleyan? The parents could not read about their children and the school work. The school paper also makes a permanent record for our school. The Langleyan encourages school spirit, it promotes ideas for the betterment of the school. just what would the Langleyan be without me? If you did not have such a friend as I, you would not be able to secure the extra training in the literary and journalistic fields. I really believe that I offer so many benefits that I ought to be the most popular person in Langley. Students applaud heartily. Mr. Fickinger-Oral English is the second speaker. Oral English steps forward and with clearness and poise begins. Oral English-The great majority of graduates from public, high, and normal schools do not always know just how to interpret the printed page. As students in Langley, we should be able to understand or at least know how to understand everything we read, whether it be the Langley constitu- tion, the literature that is studiedgin English or the school paper. XVe must be able to interpret what we read to be good students in the Langley High School. With me as your friend, all learn how to interpret the printed page. Langley High School also produces plays that are a credit to our stu- dent body. Our announcements are usually given in such a way that they show training. I believe that I ought to be very popular here in Langley because I offer every one many advantages as well as many jolly times. A prolonged applause makes the audience feel that Oral English will win. Mr. Fickinger-The last speaker is Good English. QGood English steps forwardj. I have four aims here in Langley High School. The first aim is to help pupils understand and appreciate good literature. Since literature gives an outlet for heart emotions, keeps before the reader the vision of the ideal, makes one understand human nature better, restores the past, shows the reader the glory of the common place, and gives one a mastery of onels own language, this, my first. aim, ought not to be ignored. My second aim is to develop ability to write. My third aim is to develop ability to speak. To be a good business man one must be able to speak the English language correctly, and of course to be a good student, one must be able to use cor- rect English. My fourth aim is to develop ability to think. VVhat would our school paper be if it were written, in bad English? Our school would not be able to produce the fine plays that it does. if it were not for me. I seen your friend. CLoud and hearty applausej. Mr. Fickinger-The judges will now confer together in their decision. They will hand their votes to me. Judges hand votes in. Page Thirty-eight CLASS or JANUARY 1926 Mr. Fickinger-The judges unanimously agree that Good English is the winner. Student Body-Rah! Rah! Rah! Good English, Good English. Mr. FickingerMJudging from the attitude of the students after they have heard the decision of the judges I believe Good English wins the blue ribbon. Of course We could not get along Without. our f'l.angleyan and our plays, but Good English is our pass key to all that is desirable in life. Wlill the winner please step forward.

' PQ 'K if Page Thirty-nine LANGLEY HIGH SCHOOL Tlll6 iPDt8LlI'cdLS0llS We B524 was a sunny morning. The birds were singing in the lilac uwgli ,ff bushes, the bees were humming among the roses, the princesses hm Q, Grandmother. were happy as the morning. They were going to church with ,sijflo 3. .WA The older little Princess was dressed and waiting. She wore her best white dress, a llowery hat, and white stockings and bronze slippers. She lifted her smoothly ironed skirts daintily, and sat down in her little red rocker. It was a way she had that used to amuse her elders very much. She rocked softly, and hummed a little song to herself. The smaller Princess sat on the edge of the table, her fat legs in their white stockings dangling into space, her bright eyes searching out some new form of mischief. But she was marooned on the table, and there was no way to escape. She had had her bath, and her hair was curled and tied with blue ribbons. She looked like a little cherub as she sat there in her dimpled loveliness. For the moment no one would have suspected the pos- sibilities for mischief that lurked behind her soft dark eyes and smiling lips. Mother brought her bronze slippers and buckled them on. She also brought her best white dress and slipped it on the little form, buttoning it and smoothing it with tender, motherly pats. She placed a flowery hat Qthis time bluej on her head and then she lifted the smaller Princess down. Now, you are ready, she said with a little sigh. Dressing the smaller Princess was not always a joy. 'fDaddy, where's my penny P the smaller Princess cried. W Daddy produced two shining pennies and gave one to each of the princesses. K'Grandmother-grandmother, we are ready, they called. f'Oh, my parrysol, my parrysol ! the smaller exclaimed. Mother handed a small parasol to each as Grandmother came down stairs buttoning her gloves. The older Princess' parasol was pink, the smaller Princess, parasol was blue. As they tripped along before Daddy and Grandmother, they looked like two fairies. The smaller Princess reached the church and entered it before the older Princess, Daddy or Grandmother. The older Princess was a shy child, and so she waited on the stone steps until the others came up. Daddy lowered her parasol for her. Then, stepping lightly, she went into church at his side. Grandmother drew a quick breath as she walked down the aisle. On the very front seat sat the smaller Princess, the center of all smiling glances. Held high over her flowery hat, like some great butterfly, was the blue par- asol. No wonder Grandmother was startled. She looked at Daddy. f'Ohl', she whispered, whatever shall we do? Daddy lifted the larger Princess to a seat beside Grandmother. and then went softlygto the front seat and sat down by the Princess. Let Daddy have your parasolf' - The little head was turned to one side with a pretty bird-like motion. No, no! My parrysol mine,', the Princess said, firmly. Page Forty , .. .. ',Z.:Ls4. CLASS OF JANUARY 1926 Daddy sighed. XYhen a princess says a thing like that, what can a mere man who is her daddy do? Sit still, patiently beside her, hoping that she will change her mind? Well, that is what Daddy did. The morning sunlight warmed the little church. The drowsy hum of bees came in through the open windows. An old cow made sleepy music with her bell as she munched the juicy grasses by the river. On a morn- ing like that a little girl, though ever so much a princess, is bound to grow sleepy, after the hymns are sung, and a tall young man begins to talk and talk and talk. The parasol Huttered and wobbled, very much like a wounded butter- fly, indeed. The brown head under the flowery hat nodded as eye lids dropped. Little hands grew tired. The little form cuddled against Daddy. Daddy quietly took the parasol and quietly lowered it for the smaller Princess was now asleep. Stella Hotham. The Prize Game Football was over for the season at Langley, at least everyone thought it was. Everyone was mistaken, however. One day Mr. Fickinger was reading a home room report on the Thanks- giving program. He found, to his surprise, that it was the unanimous opinion of a certain room that the school would be exceedingly thankful for the opportunity of witnessing a football game between the women and men teachers of the faculty. He was at lirst reluctant even to mention to the faculty such an unheard of thing, but his sense of humor finally got the better of him, and he called a faculty meeting for the purpose of selecting captains and teams. The faculty greeted the idea with great enthusiasm, and chose the following teams and officials: VVOMEN MEN M. Ross .................. ......,...... L .E ........... B. Cobaugh S.

Mr. Bode agreed to coach the men and had them on the field practicing continuallyj The women were never seen practicing so that people were doubtful as to whether the women had even learned their signals. How-A ever, several of the women teachers were discovered wandering aimlessly through the halls. mumbling mysterious sets of figures. Page Forty one LANGLEY HIGH SCHOOL It rained all day the day of the game, but three-thirty P. M. found the sidelines at McGonnigle's field packed with students in various stages of insanity. T. C. Cheeseman, the referee, came out with his red silk umbrella up and blew the whistle for the beginning of the game. Both teams filed out upon the field from an improvised canvass shelter in which they had been holding a tea and chat. Miss Park won the toss and was elected to kick off. The game was on. Play by play returns are as follows: First Quarter Miss McConnaughy kicked off to Mr. Fickinger on his twenty yard line. He ran the ball five yards before he was tackled by Miss Steiner. Mr. Fickinger tried right end but was thrown for a three yard loss by Miss Jenks. This was quite a dramatic moment. Mr. Moore attempted a pass to Mr. Cobaugh which was broken up by the sturdy fullback, Miss McRob- erts. On this play Miss McConnaughy was penalized ten yards for slugging Mr. Fickinger. On the next play Mr. Korns kicked to Miss Park who was downed immediately. Miss Park called time out, complained to the referee that she had been clipped from behind, that the men should be penalized and attempted to prove her point by referring to llloolley. On the next play Miss McRoberts went off tackle for twelve yards. On the next play Mrs. Lewis was knocked out attempting to go around left end. On being revived she started a hot debate with Mr. Cobaugh who had made the tackle, but she was quelled by the referee. The umpire having forgotten to take ac-- count of times out blew the whistle for the end of the quarter. Second Quartelf The ball was put in play on the women's forty-two yard line. lt was second down and ten to go. On this first play Miss McConnaughy. the womenls hurling ace, attempted a pass to Miss Park. It was interrupted by Mr. Moore who ran the ball to the women's three yard line. Miss Mc- Connaughy here expressed the opinion that the Frenchmen who said They shall not pass was right. On the next three plays the men were held at right tackle by Miss Steiner who grabbed everything that came her way. Cn the next play Mr. Korns broke through Miss Houston for what looked to be a touchdown. Mr. Cheeseman called Mr. Le Seur to bring a transit and a T square and after a careful survey and much deliberative figuring decided that it lacked one-half inch of being a touchdown. On this play Miss Park was knocked out as the band blared forth t'There'll Be a Hot Time in the Qld Town Tonight. Miss Young had again forgotten to take account of times out when the whistle blew ending the half - llinnteimmtiissiion During the intermission Captain Park brought forth three packages of chewing gum and urged her mates to chew. She said that she had heard Frank Tuttle say that gum put pep into a team. She said she did not want the nerve racking experience of the last quarter completed. Miss Houston and Miss McConnaughy were reluctant to indulge but at last did so. Page Forty-two G v CLASS OF JANUARY 1926 Third Quarter Mr. Korns kicked off to Miss Houston on her thirty yard line. Miss Houston lost all her sense of direction and ran the ball back over her own goal line. liefore she had downed the ball, Miss McRoberts snatched it from her and galloped a hundred.yards for a touchdown, leaving all the nienls team prostrate in the mud. Mrs. Lewis dropped back to kick the extra point but missed the ball entirely. Qu the kick off both teams piled up and when the mass untangled itself, Mr. Cheeseman, the referee, was found on the bottom badly battered and much the worse for wear. At this point it was discovered that Miss Park had lost her VVoolley and Mr. Cfheeseman his Log tables. After a parley the game was called on account of darkness. VVhile walking off the field Miss Houston was heard to say that if she had not chewed that horrid gum, she should not have lost her mind and run back of her own goal line. She thanked Miss McRoberts heartily for her co- operation in correcting the error. The men walked disconsolately off thc held, grumbling because the game was called just when they were about tu prove the superiority of their sex. Arthur Carpenter Gordon lVarner Why Go to College More and more people are going to college. Today it is a much simpler matter than formerly. For one thing there are more colleges. Almost every city has its Uni- versity. Many states have institutions partially supported by the state, and there are also many smaller colleges scattered throughout the country. Most colleges make special provision for students who wish to earn their tuition. .College fees are not so prohibitive nowg the poor man's son as well as the rich has every opportunity for higher education. Entrance requirements are much simpler today. No elaborate pre- paration or examinations are necessary. The studies offered in the high . school courses, are sufficient in certain required units.- The world today requires better skilled, better educated men and women g the colleges are supplying these people. VVhere the young people realize the value of higher education and the facilities for obtaining it, they will go to college, and America will become a more highly cultured nation. Ruth Rockenstein.

Beatrice was tall and in accordance with the fashion of today, slender. She was not beautiful, but her sparkling brown eyes and her small, red mouth suggested efficiency and piquancy. Reporting to the managing editor, Beatrice was assigned to the police news. She went immediately to the police station. At her arrival there, she saw an old woman shabbily dressed, huddled in a corner. Beatricels curiosity was immediately aroused and upon inquiry, she was informed that the old womanls name was Mrs. Meredith and that she had been arrested for stealing. Beat.rice approached her partly because she felt sorry for her and partly because she sensed a news story. When Beatrice began to question the old woman hesitated at first but finally consented to tell her story. Once, she began, I was happy and comfortably situated. My hus- band died a few years agopgavmg amiadljnni, su ' me com- fortably for the rest of my life. My children, however, urged me to sign my small sum over to them and to appoint them as my guardian. I finally did so and went to live with my son. At first I was treated with every consideration, but my daughter-in-law soon grew tired of keep- ing me and of attending to my small wants and so I was sent to my daughter, Helen. Helen was kind to me and tried to be patient with me, but I could not help feeling that I was in the way. That feeling took such a hold on me that it became unbearable and I decided to leave. As I knew Helen would protest, I left without her knowledge. 5'For a week I trudged around trying to find light work, but nobody had a place for an old woman. 'KMy small sum of money disappeared rapidly. Finally I was desperate. I had had nothing to eat for a day and a half and was weak with hunger. Seeing a bottle of milk standing on a doorstep I picked it up and hurried away. But I am old, and before I had gone a block, I was arrested and .brought here. I The flood of tears which she had tried to restrain during her story broke now and rolled down her cheeks, withered and wrinkled with care and age. Beatrice was hot with anger at the ungrateful son and thoughtless daughter. Silence fell between the two, for Beatrice was thinkinghard. VVhen Mrs. Meredith's case came up, she had made her decision. Visions of the orange and blue dress kept recurring to her mind, but reso- lutely she thrust them aside. The magistrate, unmoved by the pitiful story, ordered the old woman to pay twenty dollars or to serve six days in prison. Vtfith a sigh Mrs Meredith turned away I have no money, she said. Page Forty-four T CLASS OF JANUARY 1926 Beatrice thought again of the dress but, quelling all pangs of regret. she paid the Fine demanded, Her sacrifice was amply repaid by the joy which lighted up the faded eyes of the old mother. That night a new member was added to Beatricels little family group and Beatrice, though she had lost the dress, had found a mother. .

Fifth has never scored on Langley in the three years of Langley's football history. In 1923 Langley won 6-O, and in 1924 the score was 34-0. Lewis scored two touchdowns in the last half. Gettings carried the ball over in the second quarter and Ruse made the last score by carrying the ball 25 yards for a touchdown. Langley rooters do not consider Fri- day's game a severe test for Langley because they believe Fifth offered no formidable resistance to the Corliss eleven. Second Victory Won with lpealbodly Downed Langley defeated Peabody at Vtlestinghouse field by the score of 13-O, in the second city league football game Thursday. Peabody could not stop the aerial attack of Langley. Langley's backs penetrated Peabody's line at will. Langley scored six points in the first half when Tom Gettings kicked two field goals. Ruse provided a thrill when in the last quarter with four minutes to play he caught a forward pass which was hurled 20 yards by Lewis and scored a touchdown. The game was hard fought and Peabody went down Fighting. The Langley goal was never threatened although Peabody twice started an of- fense on the left side of the line which rolled up several first downs before it was stopped. A large crowd of Langley Hrootersn, both teachers and students, were on hand to cheer the team on to victory. The Langley band played between halves and during the game. llaainglley Bows to Selheinlley on Rain Swept Gridiron On a muddy, rain swept field Langley went down to her first defeat at the hands of Schenley in the hardest fought game of the season. Out- played in everything except gameness Langley struggled against great odds. she rose to her greatest height in the third quarter when Gettings despite his hurt pushed in and held Schenley. t Schenley piled up her score in the first, second, and third quarter with three touchdowns and kicked goals. VVagner starred for Schenley when on the fifth play he received a double pass and sprinted 80 yards for a touchdown. Later in the second quarter he repeated this feat with a 60 yard run. W For Langley Ruse, Gettings. Burke and Lewis stood out. Burke halted a Schenley score when he intercepted a forward pass on Langley's 20 yard line. Langley had the ball on Schenleyls 40 yard line when the last whistle was blown. Three hundred rooters from Schenley vied with almost half the Langley school who were out to cheer their team. Pnqe Forty-efglzt CLASS or JANUARY 1926 llaaintglley Defeats Uliyer, 6:2 lmiuiriiinig Storm Friday Langley defeated Oliver 6-2 at Oliver Friday. The game was played in a rainstorin making play difficult and drenching spectators. In the first quarter Donald Lewis was kicked in the head causing him to lose his memory. He was immediately taken from the game and placed in care of Dr. McCullough. Burke, Langley back, suffered a broken nose early in the game but he was able to continue playing. VVayne Miller was the star of the game. He caught two forward passes and recovered several fumbles although the ball was wet and muddy. The only touchdown of the game was made by a Langley back in the last quarter. Two attempts at kicking field goals failed. Both teams relied on line bucks to make their gains as the wet weather made open play difficult. Oliver was given two points because a Langley back made a touchback in the last half minute of play. Crafton Wins Hard lffougllit Battle from Langley Langley bowed to Crafton with a 19-7 score on the Crafton field Sat- urday in the most enthusiastically supported football game of the season. Langleyys team played hard, meriting the lusty cheering led by .Toe Lamb, Francis Kelly and ex-cheer leader Hacky,' Schaum. T Brice and Geisler, the outstanding stars for Crafton, each registered a touchdown after end runs from the middle of the field. Yule, Crafton end, counted the last score when he ran 30 yards for a touchdown in the last quarter. Tom Gettings intercepted a forward pass and dashed 60 yards to regis- ter Langley's touchdown at the beginning of the second half. He made the additional point. Langley threatened to score several times af-ter long marches down the field in which Don Lewis, the star for Langley, did most of the gaining, but Crafton always presented a stonewall defense inside of the 20 yard line and took the ball on downs. The band made its first appearance in the new uniforms and played throughout the game. Between halves they formed a C on Crafton's side of the held and played the accompaniment to Crafton's Alma Mater. They formed an L in front of Langley rooters and played Langley's Alma Mater. Wvestinghouseyfriurnphs in lizllardlelpougllnt Qontest Viiestingliouse defeated Langley 6-0, Friday, on a muddy field at VVest- inghouse where footing was uncertain and scoring by either side difficult. Brown, Lewis, and Rogers all made gains for Langley though Ruse and Gettings, regular back field stars, were out of the game. Campbell starred for Vtfestinghouse. The scoring was done in the third quarter when Campbell on an off-- tackle play carried the ball 60 yards through Langley's entire line, Langley's best chance to score was in the third quarter when the hall was taken to the 30 yard line by a series of plunges, forward passes, and end-runsg but she met a resistance too stubborn to permit a touchdown. The teams were spurred on by several hundred 'frooters from both schools who engaged in a friendly cheering duel. Page Forty-mne LANGLEY HIGH SCHOOL 2 llaainiglley Defeated by Soiuutlh llzlliillllsy Early llaeadl South Hills handed Langley's gridiron heroes the fourth defeat of the season on Duquesne Field, Friday, by the score 6-0. Immediately after the opening kickoff, South Hills scored a touchdown on a series of line plunges and end runs. VVerle was stopped at the line of scrimmage time after time. Langley had three chances to score, one during each of the second, third and fourth quarters, but failed each time. Zehfuss was the outstanding star for South Hills, scoring their only touchdown and directing the team on the offensiveg he used heady plays. Lewis. Ruse and Clements shone for Langley. Lewis drove through the line whenever the extra yards were neededg Ruse often put the ball in a scoring position, and Clements led in the attack. Lewis stayed throughout the game, though he broke his finger early in the second quarter. Langley lweilieatts South iiini Anmassing llzlliiglh Score Langley overwhelmed the South gridders in handing them their eighth defeat of the season on the McGonnigle field, Friday, with the score 34-O. Langley clinched the game in the hrst quarter when Burke made a touch- down within five minutes of the kick-off. The whole squad was given a chance to prove its ability and Mr. Bode made frequent substitutionsf The second and third teams held their own against South but were unable to score. The regular four touchdowns backlield was injected in the fourth quarter and counted before the game ended. Don Lewis starred for Langley despite his broken finger and made three touchdowns and four of the live tries for the additional point. Ruse registered the other score.

Elizabeth VVeaver. Vllqlhe ivialliuie oil plhysiicall Training Educators of the present day recognize the need for physical training in student life to counterbalance the tedium oi indoor study. Today physical training in the high school occupies a place equally important with mental training. No matter how well developed a mind may be, it cannot reach or enjoy its fullest powers if the body is unhealthy or undeveloped. For that Page Fifty - 0116 LANGLEY HIGH SCHOOL reason the schedules of the more progressive schools today require physical training to supplement the course of study. Gymnasium work, swimming, basketball, and football are forms of healthy exercise in which each student of Langley takes a lively interest. The result is healthier students, higher scholastic grades, and a keener interest in worthwhile sports Helen Merkel. Vllqllllfe Qlllllllflllltflill' SCOCCCCCBJI' VTFCBQSIJIJIIL , . HILE Langley Soccer team did not attain championship honors this year, it prevailed in most of its contests, considering the fact X53 that not a varsity letter-man and only two second team players remained from last year's victorious outfit and that the develop- '-'xpegf ment of a team from practically all new material was necessary. Rarely indeed is a varsity player available for two years, as the boys with any. prior experience come to our school as ninth gradersf' The schools sending to us lower grade boys do not indulge in athletic games so that these boys must be taught the fundamentals of the games either in regular outdoor class work or, if interested, in our after-season intra-class contests. Ourteam this year was composed chiefly of boys of this class. namely: McClure, Irwin, Hindes, Brown, Detwiler, Urban, Visokovicz, VVard, Doug- las and Alston. The following boys played prior to coming here: Trimmer at Oakwood, Herron and Borghini at Bell, and Holtz at VVestlake. Our team, much lighter this year than last, by mid-season proved to be a rather fast aggregation, developed a good passing game even when the Held seemed impossible, for the mudj, showed fair team work but somewhat poor de- fensive though Visokovicz was a power at goal, and had only one point scored on him during the season. This fact had much to do with the team's standing. rilqlillfe uTTTl,lLlUlll0lI TCQIM OR the second consecutixe year Lan le unior bo s team won Q f5 8 Y Y T1 'W involved in competition the freshmen of Schenley and Peabody 2, Egolf being new entrants in this activity The swimming of the Lang WUT ' ley team was of the sensational order and ofloo' much speed for the other teams to overtake.

Our relay team composed of Beu, Wittnier, Vllard and McClure were un- defeated during the season and upheld the prestige established by their predecessors, whose achievements are still referred to as the four horse- men in the swimming circles of '24, Karl Beu was the only remaining member of that much-talked of membership. Beu has the distinction of being the highest individual scorer in both this and last year's champion- ships. The team included McClure, Wittmer and Beu, letter-men of last year, with Ward, Booth, Steele, Harper, Flint, Ramos and Belisky CManagerl on the new list. As all but one of these boys move on into our senior group next year, it will require intense training to fill their places.

The purpose of the club is to promote scholastic Wm ' as well as gymnastic standing in the schools. Leadership and responsi- bility are developed by teaching the girls to act as timekeepers, linesman, and referees in volley ball games, basketball games and swimming meets. To become a member of the Leaders' Club a girl must have an A or B in gym- nasium and an average of C in her academic subjects. The name of a prospective member is presented by a club member at a regular meeting. These names are sub- mitted to the executive committee which is composed of seven members including the officers of the club. The committee votes on the names and if a majority wins the girl becomes a member. At present Ruth Winters is the chairman of this committee. The club has two social activities a semester. This term it has had a Weiner roast at Thornburg Flats, and plans are being completed for a Senior Farewell Party during the month of January. This year the clubs all over the city are organized into sections. Langley is in the section with South Hills. South, and Business High Schools. The first sectional meeting was held at South Hills, November 23, 1925. A business meeting was held in which it was decided that the qualification for membership would be the same throughout the section. The following sectional officers were elected for the year: Mildred Snodgrass of South Hills, Presidentg Alberta Albaugh, Langley, Vice Presi- dent: and Eva Baer of Business, Secretary and Treasurer. Clogging seemed to be' preferredg South Hills 'did a Clog dance, Business High the Jumping Jack, a type of clog, and June McMillin represented Langley by the Sword Dance and Clog.

PV- 3 FII Cb e Q 3 LANGLEY HIGH SCHOOL The Langley Student Council Langley High School Student Council was 52 organized in 1924 for a two fold purpose. First, it was organized to foster a stronger feeling of ,L -LQ, co-operation between the students and the teach- ers. Second, it was organized to instill into the students' minds the idea of self government. From the very beginning the Student Council has accom- plished what it has set out to do. Vvlith its simple yet intri- cate system of patrols, its methods of elections of officers and its wonderful support by students and teachers alike, it cannot be denied that the Council is functioning perfectly. VVorking under the supervision of the faculty advisor, Miss Irene 'Williams, the Council is composed of a repre- sentative of each home room with an extra representative from each of the three highest classes and the chairman of each squad. It stages a regular election each semester. At this election a president, a vice president, and a secretary are elected by the student body. The people are elected as officers of the school as well as officers of the Council. The president presides at all Friday assemblies and at the bi- weekly meetings of the Council. The vice president is head of all the patrol squads and presides at the weekly meetings of the patrol squad. The secretary keeps the minutes of the meetings. ln the Council problems of the school are discussed. If a student or a teacher has some plan which he wishes to place before the student body, he first brings the problem before the Student Council. If it is thought worthy of con- sideration, it is endorsed by the Council before it is put before the Student body. The Council not only discusses school problems, but also discusses outside problems which have any bearing on the school. The Council is purely a student affair, seeking the advice of the faculty only when absolutely necessary and striving always to live up to its name of a Council of the Students, by the Students, for the Students.

Yet we all know, every citizen is presumed to judge of public policy and be able, if it be wrong, to correct it by exercising his electoral rights. How is it possible for the citizen to judge correctly between right and wrong in the political world if all its proceedings are beyond his comprehension? How shall he have learned that on the conscientious exer- cise of his ballot depends the welfare of himself and posterity? The only way by which he can receive clear knowledge of the rights of a free citizen is through education and through the practice of self-government. f- 5 35 schools.

He was sitting beside?- f'He's crazy lu interrupted the accused. HI never stole a penny in my life! I donlt have to steal, I'm a plumber. Mother-Anna, the baby still cries! Perhaps a pin is sticking it. Anna Cthe maidj-No, ma'am, It isn't that. Mother-wAre you sure? Anna-Yes, ma'am. To make sure, I stuck it with a pin and you ought to have heard it cry then. Uncle Eph Jackson, an old-time colored field hand, was hoeing cotton one hot day. He was barefooted, as he wanted to save his one pair of shoes for Sunday. VVhile he was hoeing he noticed a mole sticking its head out of the dirt. As moles had been making themselves a nuisance he gave this fellow a hard rap with his shoe. . I At that instance Uncle Eph jumped and howled with pain-for it was his own big toe that he had whacked, instead of a mole. The toe bled considerably and Eph knew it would be sore for some time to come. But he was a sensible old fellow and he always put the blame where it belongs. He frequently carried on long conversations with himself and so, addressing his wounded toe, he called 'outf 'QYofu' neednit 'thinle you is gwine git no simpafy fum meg it's youah own fault an' you knows it.

Page Seventy-seven LANGLEIY HIGH SCHOOL A tourist, passing through an isolated village, stopped to speak to a native. I should think you find life here very dreary F y Dreary? I can assure you this is a pretty lively place for its size. I should suppose from the looks of things that nothing ever happened here. 4'Tl1at's where you're wrong. Why, it's not two weeks since we had an eclipse of the moon. An-elderly lady, climbing on one of our local variety of street cars, handed the conductor a transfer.

I-Ier mother, quizzed her to find out what was wrong. At last little Mabel blurted out: All I did was to stand on my head with my feet against the wall, to prove I could do it.

On his return he handed her a paper bag containing six articles, which, though egg-shaped, were certainly never laid by a hen. XVhat are these F said his mother. It was eggs I sent you for. NYell, ma, said Johnny, 'tthe streets were awful slippery an' so I thought I'd better get lemons instead. Papa, said the small son, VVhat do they mean by college bred?
