We desire that the readers may en- joy and appreciate this glimpse, how- ever meager it may be, of modern high school life, and that in the years to come the book may recall happy memories to all who have had a share in these activities. Lf Page Five I1 HHH Dino mu ,Ml I I 'age S ix DEDICATHON To MR. CHARLES H. KoRNs. a highly esteemed friend of our class, Whose untiring efforts have al- ways been prominent in both scholas- tic and social activities, whose unfail- ing help has ever aided the senior class play to be a success, and whose sympathy and encouragement have unceasingly been directed toward the welfare of the student body, we, the class of June, 1928, appreciatively dedicate this book. 1 M I 1191 LAEROIQAUIQ H281 Z l CHARLES H. KORNS l L, j'1 Y HIQHHXERD W .iii H To THE CLASS OF JUNE, A peculiar sadness comes to us as We realize that the time is near at hand when you must leave us. You have made your impress upon this school and you leave it better for your having been here. You have had the very finest spirit, been de- pendable and loyal, and it is unnecessary to tell you that in your departure we sustain a distinct loss. In leadership, scholarship, faithfulness, enthusiasm, and good will you have been unsur- passed. Your graduation raises the number of our alumni to 779, which is a goodly number: a company of the finest youth to be found in the length and breadth of this fair land. You may be proud of your associates and they of you. To be an alumnus of Langley High School is for you a mark of distinc- tion and honor. It likewise carries with it responsibilities. We have a reputation to sustain, a name to uphold, in which you will have your part to perform, See to it that you shall always be a credit to this school, as you are now. Our best hopes go with you.

FICKINGER Principal HH MERUINAULU H28 Tun F1 Y I1 ll9Hl-ERo1bI,Auhlll I AN APPRECIATION lf you have knowledge, let others light their candles at it. THE difference between schools lies not only in their external appearance, their organizations, their scholarship. but, most of all, in their instructors. Good teachers, like good clergymen, give up something in choosing to teach. If they succeed as teachers of literature, they themselves might write: if they have mastered history, the roots of statesmanship are in them: if their chemistry and physics are sound, they could be consulting specialists for big corporations. Real teachers know their subject matter and know how to use it. But they have also a constitutional liking for seeing others grow, and for helping on the process. To guide a human being in the mastery of facts worthwhile, to make and carry out a program of thinking which causes the student to continue think- ing after he leaves school: to relate school to life so that even while he is in school the student will begin to do well the things which will be his life work- that is teaching! It is a magnificent work. Its best rewards are not in any sala- ries, but in the life long gratitude and affection of the girls and the boys who know what it all means to them. Good teaching requires information, clear attractiveness of speech, knack of suggestion, insight, enthusiasm for studies, and ability to think problems through, But, after all, the character-the personality of the instructor4really does the teaching! And so, to the teachers of Langley-examples of the best of their profes- sion. who have faithfully and lovingly dedicated their lives to the good of others-to the good of us-we, the graduating class of June, 1928, express our gratitude for and appreciation of their service and kind interest to us during our high school careers, and hope they will accept our sincere wishes for their success and happiness.

Pascasio. The lawyer for the plaintiH was Stahl Libby, his secretary, Henrietta Ciledhill: the lawyer for the defense was Mary Devlin, her secretary, Steve Shanta. There was one honest lawyer present, Charles Eording, but he could not be heard. The jury consisted of eleven upright citizens and one woman, who would have her way. To digress a little, I might add that this jury was not fixed beforehand, but evil had passed away long ago. To those it may interest, I shall name the jury: Harry Moore, Foreman Willmer I-atimore David Detwiler William Killmeyer Ward Eaull Denny De Marco David Kier Clarence Walker Charles Coriston Roy Eehl Edward Huenefeld Mildred Crist. who in private life is the owner of a chain of barber shops extending all over Sheraden, Thornburg, and environments. The officiating judge was the well-known dignihed Colonel Samuel Bell. The worthy matron of the women prisoners was lVliss Hilda Wright. Guarding the main entrances were two bailiffs, the most trusted men of the service, Rufus Johnson and Ered Langer. At the side exits, two more po- licemen were stationed, Tony Rosso and Charles Besterman. Evidently this trial was expected to be a very exciting one. Already the reporters had begun to arriveYfHelen Bauman and Mildred Booser, who were representatives from the Pittsburgh Sun-Telegraph, and Ce- celia Kinney, who came to obtain news for the New York Tribune. There were others but as they were not so important as those named, I shall not bother to mention them. The court stenographers were, Ella Lange, Stella Dobosh, Mary Volpe, and Ruth Matthews. The court clerks, Joseph Mazur and Weldon Hamilton. Among the noted spectators were: James McCartney--Great detective, worthy rival of Sherlock Holmes and Hawkshaw. Joseph Pork-owner of the Ciayety.

It seems that Miss Madeline Pascascio, wishing to become an aviatrix, hired the heroic aviator, so gallant and so brave, Melvin Green, to teach her. While in the air, Madeline leaned over the edge too far to observe a University, and unfortunately losing her equilibrium, fell 2000 feet to the ground. She sustained a fractured toe-nail, and has had a terriic headache ever since. She is now suing Melvin Green for 525,000 The witnesses for the case are: Dorothy Pearson, Catherine Mullen, Ethel Vensel, Margaret Tracy, William Pesce, and Lawrence Voith, all very respecta- ble citizens. And at this time l might mention, as an aside to those interested, some dif- flcult cases the celebrated Judge Bell intends to settle within a few weeks. There are the cases of Helen Ritter, who held up traflic for ten minutes on Fifth Ave- nue, while she powdered her nose: the case of Everett Pennington who sassed a traffic policeman at Penn and Fifth: and the case of William Rouzer, who, it's almost unbelievable, hurt a robber seriously in trying to defend himself as he was walking down Wylie Avenue at twelve o'clock at night with the payroll of the Carnegie Steel Works. On the divorce calendar are: Harvey Bennett us. Ruth Pratt, Paul Shan- non Us. Maybeth lVlcRoberts1 Wilson Baum us. Nellie Brown: Abe Choder Us. Anna Nairn. It is rumored that the girls have secured the services of that famous law- yer who specializes in divorce cases, Thomas Carroll. His secretary is Gertrude Reinsberg. To those who may be interested in securing his professional services at any time, l shall write his address here-14 Exchange Street, Reno, Nevada. After this long aside I might just say that through the Hery oratorical de- fense, made by Mary Devlin, Melvin Green won the case against Madeline Pas- casio, who had to pay the court fees and other costs.

A double cast for the play was chosen early in April by the coach. Miss Jenks, and practices were begun immediately. Nora Mullet, a sweet, unsophisticated girl, the heroine of the play, was portrayed by Virginia Slease and Beatrice Andrews. The part of John Bruce, a wealthy, generous New York gentleman, was taken by Harvey Grant Bennett and David Rogers. Tommy Lansing, a young, ambitious painter who was languishing with love, was pictured by Abe Choder and Paul Shannon. Claudia, a petter, an adorable young lady, who fully returned Tommy's affection, was played by Camille Lamb and Alice Duvall. Hilda Rubin and Maybeth McRoberts took the part of Martha Mullet, the proprietor of the hotel in which the action-took place. Flmine Ludine Smith, a ridiculous, facetious, ludicrous maid, with droll, laugh-provoking remarks, was played by Mildred Barker and Florence Vogel. Benny Ketcham, an irrepressible, irresponsible young country fellow, who played an intolerable trombone and who tried to sell cemetery lots, was por- trayed by John Roseborough and Stuart Dittmar. The part of Abner Ketcham, Benny's uncle, a cold, hard-headed, avari- cious business man, was taken by Howard Neff and William Rouzer. Mrs. Barrett, a haughty, ambitious woman, who took pride in her social standing, was acted by Aleeth Roberts and Alice Moore. Jura Charante, a sweet, innocent French dancing teacher, was played by Gladys Noble and Jane Heil: her brother, Var, was portrayed by Wilson Baum and David Detwiler. Charles McCurdy and William Spangler took the part of Charles Martin, the sensible business manager for Mr. Bruce. Bella McWatt, a haughty guest at the hotel, was played by Elizabeth Bas- cue and Marion Thompson. The parts of Alchiba and Alphecca Spinster, awkward, beauty-loving souls, were taken by Margaret Cobaugh, Ethel Kaltenborn, Dorothy Schaffer, and Dolna Bennett. Spivins, a busman, Tom Burke: Tokio, a Japanese valet, Fred Langer: Watkins, a chauffeur, Charles Besterman, and numerous extras conclude the cast. lnvaluable in the production of the play were Mildred Crist and Dorothy Miller, prompters and stage directors. The play, itself, centered around the life in the hotel of a small town when a wealthy New Yorker came back to visit the town where he lived as a boy. MILDRED BARKER.

The most lasting thing we could think of was to build of life a structure, of the high- school type, but so different from the many we have seen that people want, not out of idle curiosity but out of genuine interest, to know it more intimately. Being modest, we only venture to say that this building will be pronounced fine in June, when we shall have completed putting into place the material gathered in the quarry of the high school. We laid the corner-stone in the eighth grade, deeming that a proper time to start, since we had entered then. Our early beginning, also, would give us time to establish ourselves as competent and ready workers. We took up space, though, for we had three report rooms. As Freshmen fwe hated to be called Freshies j we needed five report rooms. The fine foundation we laid is proof of the abilities we early began to show. We have always been debaters. In the field of argument we showed the school it had better not agree with us too often, for, after we had defeated every other grade, the then l l-A's were the only ones who defeated us. XVe gave the school some splendid swimmers, too, for it was one of our girls who broke both school and city records by plunging the length of the pool for the first time. One of the most interesting things we were permitted to do in foundation days was to vote in the straw election for the President of the United States. We are no different from other classes in some respects, and so, when we were allowed a party Calthough it had to be after schoolj we promptly hiked to Thornburg as soon as the weather permitted. That was a hike worth remembering! What a time our report room teachers must have had taking care of more than 150 ninth graders. CPerhaps they would have called us fourth gradersj. Future success was foreshadowed by the achievement of one of our rooms which has never been equaled-that of having a perfect record in tardiness for a full semester. All too soon we finished that floor. The next plans were harder to work with. We could hardly make out the blue prints, but with the addition of new material, that delightful handful of students from Stowe, many of whom are still with us, we managed. We were senior high school material now, and everybody expected almost too much. We did not, however, take long to estab- lish ourselves. We gave athletics varsity men, a rarity for most sophomore grades. The clubs, we know, would have begged to join had we not answered their Hrst call. And we simply shone scholastically. We had a few highest honor students, a few more high honor students, and many honor students. The next floor plans so delighted us that we eagerly went to work. We immediately ordered our class rings, and we think them the prettiest the school has ever seen. They lack enamel, a distinction no other class can claim. Then we began planning our ll-B dance, an event which proved a success. But the Junior Prom was our crowning achievement in building this floor. It proved Page Fifty-seven itll Ijano NAU Ill H one of the biggest successes the school has witnessed, for we reaped a harvest and deposited S100 in our treasury. As 12-B's we worked rather quietly preparing ourselves for our last hard spurt. We hoped to get a little ahead in the building, since we had begun to realize what 'lfun it would be working as 12-As We gave a dance, you may be sure. We had not forgotten how to debate, as we showed the school by earning the championship. Then, as lZ-A's, the Class Play came first, for we had thought about it in 12-B. The committee finally chose a farce-comedy, A Lucky Break. Then try- outs! What fun they were-to us only. While most of this was going on, we chose our Aeronaut staff. Before the Easter holidays we raised a little money by selling candy. The Hrst sale proved so profitable we made a second sale and realized nearly 2525. Then Senior Day! Will those of us who were there ever forget itf The faculty forbade us to have Kiddie Day. but that did not bother us. We all dressed in as much black as we could and buried Kiddie Day. Now no class, no matter how high and mighty, can duplicate us, for who wants to unbury something? The Senior Dance was an unique affair. By orders from headquarters we held it jointly with the Senior B's. lt was the first dance ever to be held in the new gymnasium. This top floor has all too soon been finished, but the roof remains, which is to be the Junior Prom and the Banquet Dance. To be different, we have left the dedication ceremony until June, when we shall be graduated. Then shall stand Cby now we are sure of itj one of the finest buildings in this part of the country-the June Class of l928. Though suc- ceeding years may enlarge and beautify our building, they can never change the original structure to such an extent that its early form cannot be distinguished. The June, l9Z8, building as we constructed it must be the enduring memorial of our ideals and of our attainments during high school building days. VIRGINIA SLEASE. ACADEMIC CONTEST NINE Langley students competed with about seven hundred and fifty students of Western Pennsylvania, representing sixty high schools In the examin- ations held at Soldiers' and Sailors' Memorial Hall on Saturday, April 28, under the sponsorship of the University of Pittsburgh to give due honor to academic students of high standing. Seven of the nine Langley students won awards. Thomas Carroll, first prize in mathematics, a gold medal, and fourth in the Comprehensive test, a blue ribbon: James McCartney, second place in physics, a silver medal, and third in the comprehensive test, a bronze medal: Dorothy Kelsey, second place in Spanish, a silver medal: Madeline Pascasio, honorable mention in English, a blue ribbon: Helen Keister, honorable mention in Latin and in the comprehensive test, a blue ribbon: Joseph Pock, honorable mention in history and in the comprehensive test, a blue ribbon: and Gladys Cunning- ham, honorable mention in biology, a blue ribbon.

The team, made up of four regulars from last year, and several recruits from the same year, seems to be one of the finest combinations Langley has ever put forth. The team is exceptionally well balanced, the four oldtimers supplying the needed steadiness that first year men often lack. Burke, Ragazzo, Jchnson, and Kasper, our four veterans, are performing just as brilliantly as' ever. The peerless battery, Ragazzo and Burke, is one which any high school in the country would be proud to possess, and Johnny Kasper and A'Man Johnson have been clubbing the old apple to all corners of the field. The team was fortunate in picking up three star recruits to fill the shoes left vacant in the infield. Daly, playing his first year for the Maroon and White, is shining beyond all expectations. He is playing third base, the place left vacant by last year's slugger. Ed Noah. Rosso and Kohl, playing second and first respectively, are just what was needed to round out a fast, sure-handed infield. Ed Ryan in left and Dave Rogers in middle round out Langley's potential champs. Batting punch, that necessity in making any good ball team, is not lacking in the Langley batting order. Every man in the line-up is liable to give the old apple a good long ride at any time. Most of the games, to date. have been won by comfortable margins, but instead of letting down, or as the saying goes, resting on their oars, the boys are working harder all the time to sharpen their batting eyes for Schenley, the Mecca to which Langley's eyesfare steadily fixed. The opening game of the season. played with Oliver: resulted in a close battle, with Langley on top-3-l. Ragazzo was not yet in top form, but he succeeded in pitching the Oliver batsmen dizzy. Rogers with a double and Ra- gazzo with a triple featured the Langley attack. s f South Hills, nemesis of several Langley teams, fell before the Maroon and White, by a score of 7-l. Eelbinger, pitching in place of Ragazzo, twirled fine ball, being cheated out of a shutout by a bad break in the final inning. Johnson, Burke. and Daly led in the hitting attack. Allegheny Vocational, new entrant into the league, took a few lessons in big time baseball, as Langley downed them, 14-l. Ed Ryan, with three hits, led the batting. Ragazzo was invincible on the mound. ' Carrick fell next victim in Langley's dash pennantward to the tune of 9-4. Weyman, rookie twirler, started the game, but nervousness caused his downfall, and Ragazzo once more pitched the team to victory. Ryan again featured with three hits and a walk in four times at bat. Allegheny, the only team conceded a chance to halt Langley's Thunder- ing Herd, was easily turned back, 9-2. Ragazzo worked the entire game. Pat- Page Seventy-three F1 Q I lumens NA ll I sy was wild, but he managed to settle down in the pinches. Daly and Burke clouted triples to feature Langley's long hitting. The first game of the second round, played with South Hills, turned out to be a terrible slaughter. The final score was 24-5, with Langley on the long end, of course. Five South Hills pitchers were used in a vain attempt to stem the tide of base hits, but Langley would not be denied. Every member of the team walloped the pill lustily, but it remained for Johnny Kasper to feature the hit- ting. Johnny had five hits in five times at bat, including a home run and two doubles. Felbinger, Ragazzo, and Shipley did the Langley twirling. Altogether the sectional championship is practically won as the book goes to press, since all of its opponents have lost two or more games, while Langley still has a clean slate. No other team in section two measures to Langley's standard. DAVID Rooms. 1li . F OOT BALL UN the whole, the 1927 football season cannot be considered a success. To start the season, Coach Bode had three regulars, or boys of varsity experi- ence. around which to build his team. To make the situation worse, Burke and Rodgers, two of the team's main- stays were iniured in scrimmage before the first game with Oliver, which im- paired their effectiveness for the remainder of the season. Adding to the tale of woe, Noah, last remaining regular, suffered a broken collar bone in practice shortly before the Perry game, which kept him out the rest of the season. The team, although composed of crippled regulars and inexperienced play- ers, lived up to all the traditions of fighting. The fellows who participated in the games were on the short end of the scores but they gave the best they had, which is all Langley asks. The senior class of 1928 gave its share of material to the team, no fewer than five members being considered as first string men. Those seniors are: Cap- tain Burke, Noah, Rodgers, Rosso, and Baum. Bell was a dependable substitute and did his share when called upon. It is the sincere wish of the present graduating class that Langley will come to the front in football in the near future. BOYS' BASKETBALL STARTING the season with only two regulars, Coach Bode faced a difficult task in making Langley High's basketball team. At the call for players, seventy boys responded. Filled with eagerness to make the team, the boys fought hard for the vacant positions. By a series of eliminations, fifteen happy boys were left on the squad. By hard practice and careful coaching, the best team was formed. The season was not a success, but yet not a failure. Although a number of de- feats overshadowed the number of victories, this did not mean that the boys had not given their best, Fighting hard against unconquerable obstacles, the team showed the true Langley spirit. Scudder, Ragazzo, and Rosso had a merry tussle for number of goals scored. Scudder Hnally emerged the winner when he scored 36 field goals to Rosso's and Ragazzo's 27. Hard luck hit the team at the end of the semester when Miller and Noah were both made ineligible by the 8 semester rule. Page Seventy-four S19 i.tf-H0 M -ll E BOYS' BASKETBALL A round-robin schedule was used-that is, each team had to play two games with every team in the league section. Langley, belonging to Section 2, played two games each with Allegheny, South Hills, Oliver, Carrick, and Perry. Crafton. Carnegie, and Altoona were the only outside games. In the opening city league game, Langley defeated Carrick by the score of 28 to 7. Five extra minutes were needed to decide the game. Scudder was the star of the game with seven field goals to his credit. At the first Crafton game, Langley was defeated by the score of 21 to 20. The smallness of the floor handicapped the Langley live greatly. Ragazzo was the star player for Langley. Langley won a thrilling victory against Carnegie on the latter's floor. An extra period was needed to decide the game. Langley succumbed to Perry twice in the inter-school games. The f1rst encounter was very tight, Langley losing by the score of 3l-23. The second game was an overwhelming victory for Perry, Langley 17, Perry 4l. South Hills and Allegheny defeated Langley by one-sided scores. Altoona's defensive tactics were too much for the maroonsg they came home with a score of 39 to 28 against them. Langley defeated Carrick in the second encounter by the score of 25-24. The game with Carnegie was bitterly contested and resulted in Langley's defeat by the score of 29-27. Two extra periods were necessary to decide. Langley won a decisive victory over their greatest rival, Crafton. It brought the season, although not a success, to a brilliant finish. Score, 25-14. Rosso, Ragazzo, Burke, Scott, and Bell will be lost to the team by grad- uation. FRED LANGER, Page Seven! if - Hue CO J ll9HfI-Eno mu III I EJ J SENIOR BOYS' SWIMMING TEAM JUNIOR BOYS' SWIMMING TEAM Page Seventy-sz'x f'l 117 B191 IL-ERD NAU.,,lll I SENIOR BOYS' SWIMMING ELANGLEYS Swimming Team enjoyed a fairly successful season, winning three dual meets, losing three, and Hnishing second in the triangular meet. The outstanding Langley swimmers were Wittmer and George Crew. Wittmer swam in the relay, free-style and backstroke, while Crew swam in relay and free-style. Both splashers were steady point winners in almost every meet. Bob Basler and Harper did the diving for the Maroon and White, and Booth brothers, Bill and Jim, swam breast stroke. Although the swimmers were only fairly successful in the past season, the prospects for next year's team are exceedingly bright. Several of this year's team will still be in school to serve as a nucleus and most of the junior team, cham- pions of the city, will be graduated to the senior school. Kunash, rotund Junior plunger, who established a new school record in the season just passed, will be a certain point scorer for the Seniors next year. The results of the meets are as follows: Langley met and defeated Carnegie High in the opening meet of the sea- son by an overwhelming score-3 8-7. Fifth Avenue High was next on the string of Langley wins-32-16. The next was a triangular meet with Allegheny and Turtle Creek. Alle- gheny was the victor in a close battle, with Langley furnishing most of the op- position. The iinal results were: Allegheny, 543 Langley, 38: Turtle Creek, 10. The meet with Carnegie Tech Freshmen proved easy for the Maroon and White splashers. The score was 31-17. - The next meet proved to be the hardest fought meet of the season. Carrick was host to Langley in the Langley tank. The teams were evenly matched, the score being 25-25 at the finish. Carrick was awarded the meet, however, because they won the relay, and in case of a tie the team winning the relay gets the meet. This meet proved to be a turning point in Langley's season, because the boys dropped the next two meets to South Hills and South. The city championship finals did not prove very fruitful for the Langley boys, Wittmer finished third in free-style, and the relay team, composed of Gail Crew, George Crew, Lawrence Brown, and Wittmer finished third in their event. Let's hope next year brings Langley the senior championship of the city. ,.MM JUNIOR BOYS' SWIMMING ll INDER the careful tutelage of Mr. Basler, swimming coach, the Langley junior boys' swimming team captured the city championship with ease. ln winning the championship, the team piled up an enviable record, winning every meet decisively. So far as we know this is the only Langley swimming team that has gone through a season without losing a meet. The boys largely instrumental in the success of the team were: Kunash, sensational plunger who broke the pool record, Kleber, Jesienoski and Casey, crack divers, O'Toole breast stroke expert, and Ryan, back-stroke phenom. Other members of the team played lesser, but none the less important roles in the splendid season for the team. Prospects for a crack senior swimming squad are bright, as several of the boys on this year's championship outfit are graduated to the senior ranks next year. The members of the senior team left from this year's fair team, coupled with those of the graduating juniors, should make next year's team a corker. Page Seventy-seven V MI l19MAER0IsAUTM i28l . V l K Pagc I !'l - l l lllyll Llano NAUIMI H GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL X TOLLEYBALL season was conducted quite differently this year than in the past. Three varsity class teams were selected, one from the tenth, eleventh and twelfth grades. These class teams played teams of the same grade from other schools. The class team scoring the largest number of points in their own school won varsity letters. The tenth grade with 250 points won the varsity letters. The twelfth grade team came second with 233 points, and eleventh grade team third with 2l3 points. The eleventh and twelfth grade teams received modified letters. Before the varsity teams were selected, inter-class games were played, in which the tenth grade won. From these class teams, the varsities were selected. The girls who played on their class team and did not make the varsity team, re- ceived numerals. The tenth grade varsity consisted of Case, Stouppe, Gimbel, Wilson, Chichillo, McMath, Thompson, Dunn, and Brown. The eleventh grade varsity consisted of Minnick, Meyer, E, Stouppe, Beck, Wright, Harring- ton, Mitchell, and Schultz. The twelfth grade varsity consisted of Copeland, Eller, McKeen, Pearson, Beck, Prioreschi,, Cunningham, and Hess. At the bottom of the preceding page are pictured the members of the 9-A class who were champions of the Junior High. The members are Speed, captain and guard: Sterling, center: YValters, forward: Tygart, forward: Shaner, guard: McMillen, manager. GIRLS' BASKETBALL UUR girls were not permitted to have a varsity basketball team this year, but a great deal of enthusiasm was aroused over the inter-class basketball games, in which a greater number of girls were able to participate. With class games, not only the stars had a chance to play, but every girl who was interested in the sport, and who wished to represent her class, The Senior Ciirls' Leaders' Club offered a school pennant to the champion home room team, which was won by room 123, and a silver cup to the cham- pionship class, which was won by the present 12-A class. The members of the championship home room team consisted of Rubin, captain and forward: McLain, forward: Beck. guard: Prioreschi, guard: Rob- erts, center: Failor, side center. The championship class team consisted of Rubin, captain and forward: McClain, forward: Copeland, forward: Beck, guard: Prioreschi, guard: Brooke, guard: Roberts, center: Failor, side center. The season began with the home rooms contesting, and after the winner was chosen, the class teams were organized. The Leaders' Club girls acted as of-1 licials at all the games, Page Seventy-nine HHH UAERDIEAUTM Hggq D lr. in ' 'Q.,,,exma .X x C2530 m.l1.aJ Qgmnsgi vi M , Quay- AUP X, H 5 U 1253255 fn hx n la S eniors Page E ,-ins: URW 15 jj N N X Af X X f X D J ff' ' I j f kk Wg, 4' Xxxv 1 ' ' 1 ,ff W4 T71 E -11-114-l' b if 1 -cf HTHEY J M uA.Eno1NAuTMl28l fr: ac F-' LD LU I u Q: O Q: Q Z L11 UD LU IE P- Page Eighty-Iwo F!

So it seems ' to outsiders, for the Senior Music Department in Langley is one of the most popular of the many activities of the school. It has given many joint re- citals and has contributed to the success of several school events. It consists of an orchestra, voice classes, and two music clubs. The two clubs which are devoted to the study of the old masters, are the Orchestra Club under the direction of Melvin Green, and the Music Club with Henrietta Warner at its head. The orchestra is one of the most important of all Langley's extra-curricu- lar branches. It is a combination of an activity, of a study, and of community service. It combines orchestral training and entertainment in such a way as to benefit everyone concerned. The orchestra this year consists of forty-two mem- bers and fourteen different instruments, comprising practically symphonic in- strumentation with the exception of one or two unusual instruments. It is un- usually complete, having a strong Woodwind and brass section. The orchestra this year has furnished music for numerous school occasions, among them being the music program in October, the class plays, and commencements. It has also presented several evening programs for such local organizations as the Sheridan Board of Trade and the League of Women Voters. Besides this, the orchestra plays regularly in senior chapel, has assisted in numerous notable assemblies, and has given an assembly program. Four members of the orchestra are members of the combined Pittsburgh High Schools Orchestra. Eleven 12-A pupils are members of the orchestra. Mr. Held said, Their leaving will be very keenly felt. The purpose of the orchestra has been and always will be to foster among its members and among the audiences an appreciation of good music and an ap- preciation in its performance. JUNIOR MUSIC DEPARTMENI' HE Junior Music Department, which consists of regular classes, a junior or- ' chestra, and a junior orchestra club, centers around the required general music course. This consists of two periods a week instruction in all the elements of music, as demonstrated in three part treble voice or four part mixed voice songs. Attention is most particularly drawn to the tone quality and to the mu- sical appreciation of the different songs. This course is designed to give a work- QContinued on page 85D Page Eighty-three Pa I fi ,f'L H19 ll lgnojyauril ll28l TIHIIE BAND WHAT good is a high school without a band? Langley High School faced this problem, and one evening in May, l923, nine musicians met for the pur- pose of organizing a school band, Rehearsals were held during the few remain- ing weeks of school and in September, 1923, a definite organization consisting of twenty-three members was formed. Since that time the Langley High School Band has had a gradual growth. When the band was first organized the matter of uniforms became a mat- ter of great concern, but through the efforts of the principal and vice-principal, the uniforms, consisting of cap and cape made of school colors and white duck trousers, were secured. The band now consists of forty-three members and a drum major. From the time it was organized it has never ceased to function. lt plays at all athletic events of major importance, it gives several concerts each year, one of which is broadcasted from one of the Pittsburgh radio stations, and plays many outside engagements. This year it gave several concerts at neighboring high schools, one of which was at McKees Rocks and one at Neville Island. It also gave a concert at our school. The band has led various parades, such as the Press Christmas Parade, The band was awarded a cup by John Phillip Sousa as the best high school band in Pittsburgh. The band also participated in the state high school bands contest at Harrisburg and won third place. ' LContinued from page 83J ing knowledge of vocal music, of the care and placement of the singing voice, and to instill a love of music into the students. The junior orchestra is the next important activity. It meets four times a week in the fifth period. Practices are also held Tuesday and Thursday at 8:30. The orchestra owns the following instruments: 3 violincellos, 2 violas, l flute, 2 clarinets, l oboe, l French horn, l double bass, and l set of drums. These are lent to deserving students, who receive lessons from Mr. Kelly. Classical music is carefully arranged for young players. The orchestra plays to junior assemblies. The piano classes are also open to juniors, although because of the difficulty in scheduling, few juniors can avail themselves of the opportunity. The Junior Orchestra Club is connected with the orchestra in that only members of the orchestra are eligible. lt meets every other Monday for a musi- cal program by the members. Alternating periods are spent in practice. This semester, the orchestra gave an assembly program as one of its extra activities, The Junior Music Department is under the direction of Miss Jane Moran.

It covers all the news of the school, stirs up school spirit, and carries Lang- ley interests outside the school. The paper, which was first published in l923 with Mrs. Jessamine D. Lewis as faculty advisor, has undergone many changes. At first it was a small monthly with only a few intermittent contributors: then it became a four-page weekly, now it has been enlarged to six pages, is organized as any large modern newspaper, and is edited by a staff of volunteer workers chosen on a competitive basis. Second place was awarded the paper in a recent contest held by the Scho- lastic Press Association, a gold medal being the prize. The Langleyan is, to a great extent, responsible for the opinions formed of our school: it contains school news: it upholds school loyalty: and it supports school projects. The managing editor is S. Grant Bennett. The associate editors are Jean Brooke, Madeline Pascasio, Dorothy Kelsey, and .lane Heil. Due to the guiding spirit and untiring efforts of Mrs. Lewis, The Larzgleyan has become the foremost high school newspaper in the Pittsburgh district. THE GERMAN 'ClLlUB THE purpose of the German Club is to enable the students to become acquaint- 'ed with German customs and to enable them to speak German more fluent- ly. The club was first organized in February, 1927, by Miss A. Alta Fretts, Ger- man instructor. Those eligible to belong to the club are students who have had one semester in German. a , -5 Discussion of German ideals and customs, of plays, and of songs in German constitute the regular program held in the club period every other Monday, The club gave a German play in assembly last semester, and the members plan to re-l peat this activity.

All girls of the senior school are eligible for membership. The purpose of the club is to teach first aid to its members, to make the girls better acquainted with the care of the sick, and to teach its members the care of the body. There are two clubs, the Monday Club and the Thursday Club, because several of the girls could not join if the club met on Monday, but could if the club met on Thursday. The club has done no outside work other than that in the club period.

The home room is the unit from which the council originates. After the first week of school, home room ofhcers are elected. The presi- dents of the home rooms then constitute the cabinet of the council. The council meets soon after the home room election takes place, and nominates two or three candidates for each oflice, president, vice-president and secretary-treasurer. The campaign then takes place. Each of the candidates is allowed to address two as- semblies of the school, to issue handbills and posters, and to make a general campaign. The election then takes place by secret ballot in each report room, and the results are tabulated by the business classes. The oH'icers are announced and are inducted into office at a beautiful and impressive ceremony. The formal work of the council then begins. Committees are appointed to take charge of every division of school work so that all is under the direction of the council. Some of the squads are lunch, patrol, library, and assembly squad. The execu- tive committee is composed of the council oflicers, namely: president, Stahl Lib- by: vice-president, Lucy Bennett: secretary, Princess Kramer. This committee has charge of the maintenance and supervision of all committees. Special com- mittees are appointed from time to time as they are needed.

Meetings are held every two weeks. At these meetings, plays that have been selected by Miss Jenks are presented by players who have been coached by a student member.

The programs consist of devotional and social meetings, recognition ser- vices, and special programs. The club also does service work, principally for The Pittsburgh Home for Babies and The Children's Hospital. The sponsors of the club are Miss Ramsey and Miss Mildred Williams. JUNIUR LEADERSA' CLUB THE Junior Leaders' Club serves much the same purpose as the senior club. Its purpose is to introduce a higher athletic standing in the school. The members in the club must have HA or UB in gym and a high standard in aca- demic work. There are thirty members in the club. The club meeting is usually devoted to gym work, but sometimes a speaker is secured. At the end of the semester, a party is held for the old and new members. The club is sponsored by Miss Goetter.

The club was at first organized in 1923 under the direction of Mr. Herriott. However, in l924, Mrs. Lewis became the sponsor of the club. Those who were in the club when it was first organized are: Regis Miller, Jane Richards, Mary McDonald, Hugh Stouppe, and Donald McFarland. The club has since gained in size and has be- come one of the foremost organizations in the school. Besides the various discussions on debating and public speaking held dur- ing club periods every two Weeks, several school projects have been sponsored. One of these is the system of home room debates by which the champion debat- ing team of the school is determined. The winners are presented with a silver loving cup. The debates were first started four samesters ago. Topics have in- cluded the war debts, the point system for extra-curricular activities, the League of Nations, and the home room system. Programs have been given in assembly. This semester, the members of the club spoke in assembly on clean-up topics.

XV. C. A. organized in Langley to teach its members to face life squarely, and to develop its members social- ly, morally, and physically. According to the Girl Reserves motto, A'We try to develop in ourselves and to promote in others the spirit of Christ, of friendship, and of service. ' The Girl Reserves are concerned mainly with finding and giving the best in life. They strive to help others by their social service Work. Thanksgiving and Christmas, they give baskets and presents to the poor families in the vicin- ity. This has been practiced ever since the club was organized. Aside from this, toys and dolls dressed by the Girl Reserves are sent to orphanages and missions. Toys are also sent to the Children's Hospital. Some of the girls visit institutions where they teach children useful arts. Several social events are given each semester. The Senior Farewell, the Recognition Service, and the Mother-Daughter Banquet are a few of them. This semester the club has been divided into several groups, each of which is espe- cially interested in a special program.

The purpose of the organiza- tion is to stimulate, foster, and develop the study of scientific methods and prob- lems. The activities of the club include experimentation, discussion, papers on scientific problems, the use of visual aids such as motion pictures of a technical type, and stereopticon slides.

W. Richards. The club, which is composed of twenty boys from the ninth to the twelfth grades, was organized so that the members might learn the various branches of the aerial art. They are making model planes, have visited the various local airposts, and some time in the near future expect to go for a short air excursion. The club expects soon to present to the school a model of Samuel P. Langley's first ship. The programs of the club deal with new .in- ventions, ship models, famous aviators, and the different kinds of planes.

The club was organized in 1925 under the direction of Miss Anna Slease. The purpose of it is to study the history, the characters, and the stories of the Bible. Because of the necessity for a thorough knowledge of the Bible, the club, although at first small, has steadily increased in membership, which is limited to the senior school. This semester the club gave a play, The Golden Calf, in both assemblies. This play depicted the rebellion of the Children of Israel and their Hnal repentance. Beautiful stage settings heightened the solemnity of the theme.

The club was organized in 1927 by Miss Wedd in order to cultivate in the members a love and knowledge of plant life and to manage the new conservatory. Membership in the club is limited to juniors. Twenty-two junior students have already availed themselves of the opportunity. The members plan to make several trips to conservatories to obtain additional knowledge. Recently the club planted hardy bushes in the court outside the conservatory in order to beautify it, and it plans to add to the supply from time to time, The officers of the club are: President,,.,.

Organized in 1925 by Miss Marshall, the purpose of the club as stated in the preamble is 'lto foster in the girls of our school a deeper regard. for the principles for which our school stands. to create a loftier idealism, and to stimulate a keener appreciation of their duty. The girls have become indeed Big Sisters to the 9-B girls, not only help- ing them to become acquainted with the school but also giving special helps in subjects. Two of the outstanding social affairs of the year are the tea, given every fall, and the scholarship party, at which prizes are given to those showing the most progress in their school Work. This semester the club gave an assembly program featuring English, Japanese, Dutch, and Spanish dances.

The purpose of the club is to stimulate athletic interest among the senior girls. In order to be eligible for membership, a girl must have a grade of HA or B in her gymnasium Work and satisfactory marks in her academic subjects. The executive committee, which is one of the most important in the club, se- lects all girls eligible and submits their names to the club body, which decides on membership. The club holds several social affairs each semester. This semester it pre- sented an assembly program, Gym and Jerry, that was highly successful. The officers of the club are: President ,.,.. ..

Or- ganized by Miss Adams who is assisted by Miss Umstead, the club has be- come popular both in the junior and senior section of the school. The purpose of the organization, broadly, is to enable all girls to become more interested in nature and in life. The scouts meet every Monday evening. At their meetings, the girls take tests and do various other things. This last semester the scouts have been very active. An assembly program was given consisting of a play, The Honor of Our Class, readings, and dances. Besides this, the scouts won a trophy offered by the national organization for the best dance. Their performance of the Highland Fling won them this award. A party is sometimes held during the semester in order to get the scouts better acquainted with one another. As the sponsor says, 'Alf we can give the girls a fuller appreciation of life, our purpose is fulfilled, JUNIOR GENERAL SCIIEN CE CLUB THE introduction of General Science into seventh and eighth grade curriculum created a desire for laboratory work. This was impossible because of limited class time and equipment. The Junior Science Club was formed to give the juniors an opportunity for individual experiment, and is composed of thirty-Eve members from sev- enth and eighth grades.

The clean-up campaign, conducted throughout the city of Pittsburgh by the Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce with J. Rogers Flannery as chairman, was entered into by Langley with a determination to keep the silver cup which we won last year. Special efforts were made by all students to make everything spick and span. A special meeting was held on Tuesday, April 3, at which F. J. Kress was the speaker. Songs and jingles and a play were also given. 'Before and after pictures were taken all during the campaign. Each stu- dent filed an individual report which listed all his accomplishments such as the number of lots cleaned and the number of porches painted. Prizes were given by the Student Council for the best essays, jingles, songs, and poems. The re- ports were formulated and the scrap book exhibiting the students' projects was compiled. The campaign closed on April 15, after two weeks of intensive work. with Langley in high hopes of winning the cup. The representative clean-up pictures shown on the preceding page were taken by Carl Schutz and Wesley Weyman, ll-A. T11-lllE TROPHY CASE IJANGLEY'S trophy case Cpage 165, standing in the library corridor on the sec- ond fioor, and now filled with 18 trophies, has just recently come to fill a long-felt want at Langley for a place to display her many beautiful awards. At present, the largest trophy which the case contains is a silver loving cup won for first prize in the Clean-up Campaign last spring. The award carried with it 375, One of our most cherished trophies is the magnificent Sousa Cup, presented as the award to the Langley Band, which Sousa judged the best high school band in the city. Making known the prowess of the Langley Senior Girls' Swimming Teams in 1926 and 1927 is the Pittsburgh Sun Trophy. Another cup which the girls have brought to Langley is a bronze sportsmanship shield, won in 1926 and 1927. One of the most unique trophies in the case is a silver volleyball mounted on a black stand, brought to Langley by the Champion Junior High Boys' Vol- leyball Teams of 1923 and 1927, The junior boys have also won the cup em- blematic of the 1925 Swimming Championship of Junior High Schools, and the Faberman Cup, awarded to the 1924 Junior High Champion Natators. Among the recent trophies are the cup presented to the Ciirl Scouts for the best folk-dance, and a large plaque beside the case, won by the Champion Life- Page One Hundred Five T1 I1 H1911 LERO sau 1111281 Saving Team. Other trophies include the cup won for Langley by Donald Mc- Farland in the oratorical contest in 1927, the Junior High School Girls' Swim- ming trophies, won in 1924 and 1925, the trophy won by the 1925 Senior Boys' Relay Team, the Soccer trophy, won in 1925 by the Junior Boys, and the Junior High Boys' Volleyball cups for championships in 1923, 1924, 1926, and 1927. Cups which were awarded by organizations in the school only are: The Forum Debate cup, the 1926 Swimming cup, and the 1928 Class Basket- ball cup, the latter two presented by the Senior Girls' Leaders' Club. Well, folks, this is Graham 'Crackers' McNamee announcing the big in- tra-faculty contest from the ringside of the gigantic Langley High School Sta- dium. No matter what the score may be, both teams may be depended on to give the best fand worstj that is possible.

Cobaugh Rules Committee: Misses l. And M. Williams: Referee: M. McRoberts: Umpire: Miss Swords. First Stanza Miss McConnaughy led off with a terrihc Lawford stroke that was coun- tered by Miss Houston's capturing Mr. Cheeseman's queen. G. Held was penal- ized two yards for over-anxiousness and M. Ramsey put the Whites in the lead by tossing a perfect two pointer in the basket from the middle of the floor, Mr. Horner went around left end for twenty yards. The Whites were three points to the good when G. Kavanaugh hit a sacrifice fly scoring Mr. Held on the third lap of the big Bunion Derby. With the score threatening to be tied at any minute, Mr. Pickinger threw down a perfect mental hazard by declaring no school for the next weeek. Mr. Cobaugh claimed simple honors, but Miss Park redoubled and set him. On the following play Miss Park was sent to the penalty box for ending a sentence with a preposition. The quarter ended with Miss Jenks and Mr. Moore maneuvering for a strategic position. Second Period Mrs. Lewis was short with her irons and the Maroons lost a good chance to tie the score at 20M all. Mr, Rankin laid down the double blank and Mr. Korns retaliated by reciting the valence table and threatening to have the Musi- Pagc One Hundred Six ,J L 117 l19lteEnoisAu.-.til l cians' Union make a thorough investigation of the band. Miss Ross lobbed to mid court and was penalized three DeVitis Spanish grammar for having a mouthful of diphthongs. The period ended with the score tied at 3 M for each side. Third Chtnklker Miss Moran sprinted down the side of the immense Langley Bowl and tossed three overtures and a symphony temporarily to disconcert the Maroon ranks. Mr. Cheeseman added to the rout when, by a cleverly executed trick, he secured two pawns and a bishop. Mr. Killingsworth received a terrific ovation from the stands as he stood on the foul line and tossed two one-pointers through the hoop and recited the fifteen decisive battles of the world. Time was called as Mrs. Lewis and Mr. Kavanaugh were arguing who had lost the heads for the last issue of The Langleyan. When play was resumed, Miss Wylie by an alge- braic play threw two forward passes, bringing the ball to the Maroon four-yard line, where J. Guest plunged over with the tying run. The period ended with the ball in mid-field. Fourth Act: As the fourth period started a heavy rain began to fall so the rules commit- tee, the referee, and the umpire decided to call the game. When this fgladj news was relayed to the faculty teams, the respective team captains gathered their teams around them and gave statements to the representatives of the press. The following are after-the-game statements of the rival captains: Miss Park: Be thankful for small mercies. We might have split an infin- itive. Mr. Fickinger: Our team played together like a congressional investiga- tion. HARVEY BENNETT. Answers to ll-lleartll Among the Teachers l. Miss Young. 8. Mr. Cobaugh. 2. Miss Diskin. 9.
