(Perky) Class President, ’19, ’20, ’21 Football, “18, 719,720 Manager of Football, 1920 Editor-in-Chief of The Planet. Perky, the leader of our class, has performed his duties with such success that we here wish to express our appreciation and thanks for his work and effort in guiding us toward our goal. Loyal, you have our hearty support in whatever task you may undertake, even the task of mas- tering the “Hill.” ANNA LONGDON Secretary of Class, ’19, ’20, ’21. Energetic, studious, thoughtful and persever- ing. These four apply. to Anna. She is held in esteem by her classmates, and we find her always on duty when any social function 1s being carried out... As secretary of our class, she has done her duty faithfully, and her studies have never been neglected. Krowing all this to be a fact, we all envy our first honor student, Anna, and wish her success. KATHERINE HOOKS (Katy) “Katy” is our class baby in size, but when it comes to brains, she is right on the spot. She is second honor student and surely deserves all the praise she gets. Katherine cares very little for the boys, in fact she is utterly indifferent to them, and spends her time with her books and her girl friends. Mars High School Oe Sx DOROTHY FORSYTHE (Dot) Secretary of Philo Literary Society. Literary Editor of The Plane. Our Dot is an ever dependable student, active in literaries and excels in debating. Every six weeks she obeys the command of the Philo president, “‘The secretary will announce the next number,’’ with a characteristic sense of duty. The sort of spirited, full-blooded girl one likes to be with, you know. GRAHAM DreCOUX Basketball, ’20, ’21. Football, 718, 719, ’20. Captain of 1920 Football Team. Assistant Editor-in-Chief of The Planet. President of Sorosis Literary Society. Graham is the all around man of the Senior class. Besides his activities in athletics and as general spokesman of the class, he has many other duties. The last and invariable duty otf the school day is the chaperoning the five o’cloc car—or trying to. : LOYAL WALTERS Local Editor of The Planet. President of Philo Literary Society Basketball, ’20, ’21. Loyal, alias ‘‘Oddy,” alias “Gangley,”’: alias “Longfellow,” alias ‘Cauterpin,” alias “Andy Gump.” “Oddy” is the self-appointed enter- tainer of our class, and also author of the great- est percentage of class jokes and wit. For two years he has been an important factor in the basketball team. ‘‘Oddy” is an all around good fellow, and we wish him the best of luck. Papen ven ait Mars High School JANES] TUZER Basketball, ’19, 721. Literary Editor of The Planet. There is one of our classmates named Jane. She is a regular kind of a dame; She’s a blue-eyed blond of whom we're all fond, And whom many like to gaze upon. Although she doesn’t live in Mars, She is one of our big stars, For when it comes to playing the game, Just leave the guarding to Jane. — LeRor NORTON (Le or Norton) Basketball, ’19, ’20, ’21. Manager, Basketball, ’21, 20. Foothall, 718; 219,220. Business Manager of The Planet. “Le” is a dandy good fellow and would be a useful ornament to any class. He isn’t crazy about books but is a star in athletics. ‘“‘Le”’ 1s shy about the girls, but we can’t help but think that he thinks of them in general and hopes to manage one in particular some day. ESTHER BOYCE (Eck) “Eck” is a modest little girl, with innocent blue eyes and a sweet voice. The opposite sex are attracted by her charms and so she is a general favorite. Her time is divided between being loyal to her class and writing billet-doux. ee : Page Eleven Mars High School }xe- ALFRED MORROW (Alf or Possum) Football, ’19, ’20. ’ “Possum” is the big boy of our class, Who sits with cheeks aglow; He’s a brick in mathematics And in athletics far from slow; Sometimes we think him idle But he’s really very bright, And you will always find him To be a shining light. HELEN BOYCE Basketball, ’21. Though she joined us two months after school started this year, we all grew to like Helen, for she is such a good pal. She immediately took a most active and interested part in our class. Helen is a star in athletics and one of the most talented and _ industrious members. Her favorite diversion is dancing, but she main- tains the man-hater attitude. But no doubt she will change her mind, for DeCoux is quite convincing. GEORGE HARBISON (Tony) Football, ’20. “Tony” is one of the newly found members of our class. He is a bashful boy but chuck full of fun and an all around athlete. Some girls like short and chubby fellows, and this seems to apply to “Tony.” Page Twelve it Mars High School KATHERINE SMITH (Queenie) (a3 H ll 9d 66 $ + ”) Ls ow you all, “Queenie ’ greets us every morning as she rushes into the room just as the last bell is ringing. We wonder what would happen if she arrived at school a few minutes early once. ‘‘Queenie” is an all around good student and a new member of our class. PAUL STEINER (Steiner) Orchestra, Four Years. Paul is the smallest boy in the Senior class, but as the old saying 1s, Good goods are done up in small packages. He is one of the musical members of the class, and has been a loyal sup- porter of the orchestra all during his high school career. Does not adore a brunette, but cares more for Jeannette. MABEL WERNER Orchestra, °20,.°21: Local Editor of The Planet. Mabel is a bashful girl, but is one of the most talented members of our class. She is an artist at the piano, and as a student is above the aver- age. Mabel is always very diligent and ful- fils all the requirements of a good classmate and friend. nnn a EEE SEES aaEEaE nnn Page Thirteen - it Mars High School RUTH HOFFMAN Orchestra, Four Years. Ruth is a very modest little girl and has that air of being just so. She is very quiet, but— still waters run deep. She never breaks any disciplinary rules and always does what she is told. She expects to become a musician some day, and in her success we lend our heartiest support. MILDRED SANDERS (Mid) ““Mid” is a very congenial classmate and a very industrious one. She is one of those re- liable students who do their work as it should be done, but still have their fun. ‘‘ Mid” is never known to waste her time, her motto being: “A minute lost can never be regained.” TWILA CUNNINGHAM (Kate) Orchestra, Four Years. Twila, known to her classmates as “‘ Kate,’’ is a friend to all. She has been a loyal supporter of the orchestra all through her high school career, and we must say she does the violin justice. Of work and recreation, it is her opinion that the latter is due more attention. Te CO Page Fourteen Mars High School tx EDNA SEABERG E stands for Edna, So modest and meek. Her chief aim in life, is for knowledge to seek. Do your best is her motto, And study each day, So when exams come, you may be happy and ° gay. MABEL CASHDOLLAR (Shorty) M stands for merry; As we'll all agree; A stands for artist, For class artist is she; B stands for busy bee, Always busy as can be; E stands for earnest, Always faithful and true; L stands for little— Of stature—'tis true. ALMA WOHLGEMUTH Alma is the most dignified and independent member of our class. She is very zealous in her school work and attends strictly to busi- ness. A winsome lass is she, but she haughtily spurns any advances made by her admirers. Her motto is: ‘‘Duty before pleasure always.” Page Fifteen Mars High School }eo ROSA NAUHAUS Rosa is a quiet girl, with modest, retiring manners. We usually find her in some sober occupation. One of her favorite diversions is piano playing. All through her four years of her high school career she has been an industrious member and we wish her the best of luck. JEAN VANDERVORT (Jeanie) Associate Editor of The Planet. ‘ Jeanie” is one of the high lights of our class, and is built on the sky-scraper plan. She is a general favorite with us all, but especially with “Oddy.” “Jeanie” plays the piano, sings high soprano, but her chief accomplishment is gig- gling—an art she has perfected by practice. CLYDE FRISBEE (Frisbee) - Clyde is a blushing boy of seventeen summers. He is known among his schoolmates as Frisbee, and is a good sport. His hobby is not like most young men, girls, but ice cream sodas. EEE age Sixteen 1 Mars High School “Ol VERA HYETT (Ve) Basketball, 19, ’21. Associate Editor of The Planet. “Ve” is an all around girl of the Senior class. She is always smiling and generally manages to let the smile burst into a laugh. She was never known to bother or talk to any one in time of school (?) She is one of the basketball stars but her favorite sport is ‘‘Skating.” Oh! what would we do without our ““V” when the rest have nothing to say? MILTON ELLIS (Milt or Axle) Captain of Basketball,.’20;.721. Football, “18,719 20; Athletic Editor of The Planet. “Axle” is a very accomplished young man. But it is mostly along the athletic line, for it 1s a sad but true fact that he doesn’t like the ladies, but they love him. On the basketball floor it’s hard to find his equal as forward, while on the gridiron he is a cool, level-headed quarter- back, indispensable in an aerial or running at- tack. All hail to you in later life as now, Axle. EDNA HILL (Eddie) Eddie” is very attentive to her lessons and some few members of our class. She is one of the smaller members of our class and a good pal. A quiet lass is she when the teacher ap- pears on the scene. She enjoys all athletics and amusements, particularly basketball and Ford riding. We may always depend upon “Eddie” being present and taking part in any social function, especially if the class president is there. Pia gem sav ent cen Mars High School }e- DAVE ROBERTS (Dave) Football, ’20. ‘ Basketball, ’20, 721. Roberts is better known to his classmates as Dave. Dave is one of the good fellows of the class, and he is a jolly good fellow except when his temper gets away with him. He is a good man on the floor, grid, or still better, around the ladies. MARGARET KILP ATRICK (Maggie) We all love “ Maggie”, so happy and gay; Her smile and her dimples we see all the day. She plays the piano, dances and sings, And never a thought of sorrow brings. But some times her books she does neglect, Then she hurries and hastens about in a fret, But she really does beat some by far; Although she often misses the five o’clock car. a TT eee Page Eighteen af Mars High School Senior Class History 18 is the 6 of September 1917, the first day of our high school career. How well we remember the expression on Professor A. H. Forman’s face as he gazed upon the students, of whom more than one half were fresh- | men. But one should never judge a book by its cover for though we looked | green and incapable of learning at that time, we now leave M.H.S. as the | largest and best class which has graduated from this school. | We had fifty-three students in our class as Freshmen. Soon after school opened we had a class meeting and adopted Lavender and Gold as our class | colors. The first part of our Freshman year was spent in the Common School building with only half day sessions. On the eleventh day of February, 1918, | we entered the new High School building. Though basketball was suspended | for the season owing to the late completion of the gymnasium we arranged a | schedule of class games. The first game we played was with the Sophomores | in which we were victorious, the score bzing 12-3. The next game was with the Seniors in which the score was 13-5, in favor of the Seniors. The only | game the girls played was with the Juniors, our class winning by the score | of 4-3. | The next term, 1918-19, we had an enrollment of only twenty-six. Ata | class meeting we elected Loyal Purvis as President and Clarissa Crawford as | Secretary of our class. ' | When the war work was on and our class was asked for volunteers of | Victory Boys and Victory Girls we answered with our usual zest and patriot- ism, and our class proved to be 100% patriotic. Our class pledging one | hundred fifty-five dollars. This money could not be solicited from parents | or friends but had to be earned by the student. Many seized the oppor- tunity of earning this money at the time when school was closed because of | the flu bug. | During the month of September we enjoyed several trips to the fields () : of the dates which will never be forgotten by the faculty of 1917- | where we caught grasshoppers and butterflies. After we had caught and | chloroformed the grasshoppers we enjoyed ourselves dissecting them. ‘The | butterflies were chloroformed and then mounted. | This term our school was closed from Nov. 21 to Dec. 23 on account of the Flu.” On May the ninth our class with the Freshman History Class visited the Carnegie Museum. We went through the halls of Sculpture and Architecture and saw many fine pieces of art, gathered from all parts of the world. Through | the kindness of Mr. Hyett we saw some parts of the Museum which are not Bace iINivereen Mars High School eo open to the public. Among these was Carnegie’s Room or the Founder’s Room. We also visited the bone department, stuffed animal department, the Indian department and several others. About three thirty we left the Museum and returned to the city. Some went to the theatre and the.rest came home. We all enjoyed the trip and learned many new wonders of our wor ld. On the twenty second of May we held a social in the Robertson Hall. Our aim was to raise the money we had pledged for the new High School Building at the dedication exercises. Although the weather was wet and stormy a good crwod was present and all reported a good time. Our Junior year was not very eventful. We elected Anna Longdon Secretary for our class, our former Secretary, Clarissa Crawford having left our ranks. We had twenty six members, the same as when we were Soph- omores. Our last year in High School has not been very exciting but nevertheless | we have enjoyed it. This term we have a new professor Mr. Clarence A. Conley, who tis a graduate of the Class of 1910 of Mars High School. The school curriculum has been arranged so that the students only need to carry four studies. This year there is an enrollment of twenty-nine members on the Senior class roll. Katharine Smith of Charelvoix, Michigan, who attended High School last year at Spencer, W. Va., and Edna Seaberg of Fireburgh, New York, entered our class the first day of school. A few days later George Harbison of South Hills High, moved to Mars and added his name to the Senior Class Roll, then last but not least came Helen Boyle of the Sharpsburg High, who joined our ranks a few days before our Thanksgiving vacation. In the fall the Sophomores challenged us to a game of foot-ball. Our see won. We also played a game of basketball with them and came out the victors. After the Christmas vacation a committee was appointed to choose a class play and they decided on “Kicked Out of College.’ Miss Waldorf, dramatic instructor from Carnegie Tech, was hired to coach the play. At one of our late class meetings we chose as our class motto, “Launched, but not Anchored,” and for our class flower the American Beauty Rose. Now as we are about to leave forever Mars High School, and as we are preparing to leave school life and enter life’s school, we turn to wish our followers the greatest of success, and we earnestly hope that those who come afte rus will profit by our mistakes. Catherine Hooks, ’21. Page Twenty t Mars High School Senior Class Play The Senior Play ‘Kicked out of College’? was presented in the audi- torium of the High School building.

Edna Seaburg Story of the Play: Bootles Benbow, the most popular boy in college, is so busy with inventing a patent air brake and with his various social and athletic activ- ities that he finds it impossible to go to class. Accordingly he is dropped from the roll and is “kicked out of college.” This news is received at the college boarding house when the lads are in the midst of a rehearsal for the annual college play. Bootles’ father arrives and is furious to think that his son has wasted his opportunities at college. He threatens to disinherit Bootles but promises to relent if Bootles will marry and settle down. Sandy McCann, the coach of the dramatic club, is a lways trying to ietixastiinus 1On his friends. He therefore informs Mr. Benbow that Bootles is already married and introduces Bootles’ roommate, Tad Cheseldine, who is the “leading lady” of the college play, as Bootles’ wife. The scheme works successfully. -Bootles and Tad move to “Honey Moon Flats” and live off the fat of the land, entertaining the college boys every night and doing as they please by day. Bootles completes his blue- print drawing of his patent air brake and sends it to the Speed Motor Car Company. A colored wash lady, one Salamanca Spivins, calls to collect nn Page Twenty-one Mars High School ton a bill and discovers the fact that the so called Mrs. Benbow is a man in disguise. She informs the police and immediate discovery is prevented by additional advice from the ever ready Sandy. Why not introduce another wife? No sooner said than done, and Mlle. Fleurette, a French Costumer, 1s introduced as Bootles’ wife. She is wife number two. s A suffrage parade is held and Bootles’ father and mother arrive to visit him. Both wives appear on the scene at the same time and Mrs. Ben- bow, Sr., is informed by the faithful Sandy that Bootles has joined the Mormans and has two wives. Bootles’ father is not easily taken in. He employs a detective to search out the truth. This detective is an absurd Irish policeman, and when he tries to disguise as a Freshman he is hazed by the students and tossed in a blanket. At last the truth comes out. Mr. Benbow threatens to disinherit his son, but the agent of the Motor Car Company accepts Bootles’ air brake and makes him a liberal offer for it. The faculty reconsider Bootles’ expul- sion and he is allowed to re-enter college. Under the circumstances his father relents and he wins the hand of Miss Jonquil Gray and promises soon to introduce her as his third little wife. i a... eee ee eee Page Twenty-two - t Mars Hig School The Senior Class Prophecy It was the first day of May, 1921, and I had gone to the forest to search for May flowers... When I should have filled the basket I meant to carry it to aniavalid. Crossing the brook to gather some wind flowers I was amazed to see a tiny old man caught fast to a log by his long white beard. At first sight | thought him a horrid thing to see and would have passed on but the misery of his face made me pity him and I released him. Instantly a handsome young prince clad in costly dress of pre-Elizabethan times stood before me. He thanked me gravely and asked me if he might not help me fill my basket with May flowers. With true English he told me he was Dr. Faustus. I started back in horror, but was reassured by his gentle smile. Then he began to speak in the quaint old English manner. “Kind lady! In truth I am Dr. Faustus, the bond servant of Mephis- topholes, my soul is in his keeping. I sold my soul for knowledge and youth. I learned everything except the curse of too much knowledge My sins are unpardonable yet one day each year I return to this world and try to atone for the misery I caused. I can appear only to those who pity me.” After gathering the flowers we walked to the piazza. I brought out a tray bearing two glasses of iced tea and a dish of sweet cakes. On one table was the Senior Class Prophecy which I had tried to write that morn- | ing and upon which I had so miserably failed. After seeing Dr. -Faustus glance at it a couple of times I burst out and told him how hard I tried and how hopeless was my effort. A smile spread over his face and bowing very low asked if he might help me toward him. Then, although I am sure I never left the plazza, I found myself stand- ing before an immense marble building. At my side was Dr. Faustus dressed in a faultless American business suit. I found him a perfect gentle- man and an interesting companion throughout my wanderings. Together we entered the building and were whizzed skyward in an elevator. On one of the upper floors we found Edna Seaberg in a luxurious office managing the great World Church Movement. By patient work she told me she had risen from secretary to president after leaving old Mars High School. “That was Success,” I said to myself and started to ask a question when I felt myself magically transplanted to a quaint old New England garden where I saw Alfred Morrow, better known to his classmates as Alt, sitting in the shade of an old maple. At his elbow was a small writing table. On it was the manuscript for the latest Fatty Arbuckle movie and also a Page Twenty-three Mars High School }e - new Solid Geometry just from the press. It bore his name and a letter accompanying it proved even to the doubting that Alf was a mathematician of international fame as well as the idol of a million ardent movie fans. I scarce had time to open my mouth when I saw a chain of white capped mountains on the horizon, a fitting background for a quaint Chinese-town. When what to my wondering eyes should appear but Katharine Smith in a rickshaw. As the carriage passed on she spoke lovingly to the children of the street who drew back to let her pass. Amazed at this I turned ques- tioningly to Dr. Faustus and I saw Queenie, a young nurse from a West Virginia hospital enlisting in the American Red Cross. Shots rang out amid the smoke while Katharine worked quietly on the battle field strewn with Chinese and American soldiers. The War was over but Katharine remained in the Orient. One day in the mountains of Tibet she found an herb which cured leprosy and so she 1s called The White Angel-in the land of her adoption. : “Why,” I asked myself, ““why can’t I do something useful? -Every- | one— | Lo and behold I stood on the steps of a pretty bungalow covered with roses and shaded by palm trees. Hearing the boom, boom of breakers I turned to see Paul Steiner advancing from the beach where he had moored a powerful motor boat. He waved his cap to his sweet young wife and freckled faced son who awaited his coming on the cool veranda. I won- dered what Paul Steiner was doing there when I remembered that he had been sent out to western Mexico by a large Pittsburgh concern and that his reputation as a civil engineer was growing every day. The girl I could not place though her face was familiar and some trick of memory made me think of one of my old schoolmates from M. H. S. Then as if in a dream I was back in Mars. The town was many times larger than in ’21 and the old high school had been enlarged several times till it was the most up to date in the state. It was the first day of school and among the Freshmen were a boy and a girl. That very morning over their toast and coffee Edna Hill and Loyal Purvis recalled their first day in M. H.S. Memory pictured again the unfolding of their friendship. Let- ting the day’s work rest for a minute, they reviewed the years, how Edna had taught school for two years aftcr graduating and Loyal had helped his: father in business. Loyal then proved to Edna that two can live cheaper | than one and they had lived happily ever afterward. = | Bang! Thump! ! Darn! ! ! “Why Mabel Cashdollar, what are you doing?” I gasped. “Oh nothing. I was making a sketch and when you blew in I thought you were a ghost. But just look at this sketch. I sent it to the Cartoonists’ League and it won first prize. Just now-I’m trying to decide whether I’ll Mace te sunt sa: =. ct poea ws abaattic Dan eae Page Twenty-four if Mars TLC LORS Gipao7! take Bud Fisher’s offer to continue drawing his cartoons for him but I guess Tl run my own. They seem to be making a hit.” : So just as suddenly as I blew into Mabel’s studio where the funniest | and most expensive cartoons in America are made I blew out of the window and found myself standing before a large mahogany desk. | In a minute a lady looked up and smiled. Before she spoke I realized | that Ruth had made her mark. At once I could see her rise from mail clerk | in the Pittsburgh Postoffice to Ruth Huffman, Postmaster General, Wash- | | ington, D.C. As I was spirited away I heard her ask about the class of ’21. | Then all was quiet as death. The darkness was warm and perfumed. A stringed orchestra wailed softly but was silenced by a storm of applause | as Alma Wohlgemuth appeared on the stage. ‘Turning to my companion, | Dr. Faustus, | asked for the program. There I saw Foikin, the great ) Russian dancer, was “starring’’ my old class mate in a wonderful new Russian opera and ballet combined. As the minutes flew beguiled by her songs I realized wny Alma had taken the people of two continents by storm. After the theater Dr. Faustus and I were whirled away to Madison | Square Garden where we found a table set for two. Out on the floor were | a couple, dancing. As they turned I was amazed to see Clyde Frisbee and one of New York’s debutantes. A brass buttoned bell hop appeared with a telegram and Clyde rushed away to a midnight directors’ meeting which would decide the American Merchants’ business policy for the coming year. “What,” thought I, “a society man at night and an influential merchant in the business world. Well, well, some people are born lucky,” I decided. | I rubbed the sleep from my eyes and saw not the prosaic streets of New York as I expected but the sunlit blue of the Pacific Ocean. Leaning on the rail of a great ocean liner at my right was a young American gazing at the approaching harbor. The face was familiar and I quickly recognized Le Roi Norton, the famous young broker from Wall Street, who was on his way to Honolulu to take charge of a large broker’s office. | Quick as thought I was back in old M. H. S. listening to Dorothy For- sythe render her graduation oration. Dean Chambers, of the University of Pittsburgh, was there. The next morning brought a scholarship for Dot, | his tribute to her splendid literary efforts. Then passed in review four | years at Pitt and three spent abroad and Dorothy, better known as Mrs. —, | was Professor of Literature at Pitt. : | Next a strain of violin music caught my ear and I was transported to Washington Square, in Philadelphia, where a little colony of ambitious artists try to acquire fame. There in a long studio I saw Twila Cunningham slowly drawing her bow across the strings. On the table lay two letters. One offered her an opportunity to join the Boston Symphony Orchestra, - the other was a last appeal from an old sweetheart. Se Page Twenty-five Mars High School }e - “What will Twila’s future be?”’ I wondered, “and yet I think I know.” Tne violin dropped from Rubenstein’s Melody In F to the soothing tones of Home, Sweet Home. . “Wrere shall we go next?” I asked Dr. Faustus. “Boston is not far,” he suggested quickly. I nodded and in a minute was standing before a snop window on tne corner of Boston Connon. In the window was a creation of gold tissue cloth and chiffon. Ona a snall plate in gold letters was tne word “deCoux,”’ the name of America’s most noted designer. | “Yes,’’ Dr. Faustus said, “Graham deCoux is a wizard, he can make homely wonen fair, good looking ones beautiful and the beautiful ones divine.” I tried to figure how this could be done with three pins and a yard of goods, but I gave it up as a bad job. ) Passing on to the residence district of the city I saw a large mansion, the home of one of my classmates, Helen Boyle, though she was no longer single. Her French maid, whom I met in a nearby park, told-me of ze mistress waon all ze fine chentlemans loved; how they had all been sent away heartbroken except ze mister, ze fine, ze handsomest chentleman, and he was oh, so reech. | Leaving the park, in a twinkle I found myself in the principal’s office in, the Wilkinsboro High School. There was Jean Vandervort bending over a column of figures. She greeted us with a friendly giggle and told us of her latest reform in scnool management The clock struck four and before the ecno died away the door was flung open and in stepped Oddy, Loyal Walters. “The car is waiting, Jean,” he said, nodding to us and holding her coat for her. The office faded away and we found ourselves in the grandstand watch- ing the Yale football eleven come storming down the field scattering the Harvard men right and left. A lone figure shot out and tore away across the field making a goal such as Harvard never saw before. From the Yale ranks raised a cry “Rah! Milt! “Rah! Rah. -Raht’? The game was over and Milt borne on the shoulders of his classmates, swung across the field waving a piece of paper, a contract engaging Milton Ellis as the coach and athletic instructor of Princeton University. The game had been exciting so Dr. Faustus and I adjourned to a nearby tea room and while waiting for the iced drinks we looked around. At a neighboring table I was amazed to see Esther Boice accompanied by one of the junior partners of the Bethel Steel Company. A ray of light glanced in through the window and sought out the large solitaire on her left hand. The Doctor spoke before I could collect my wits. Eck had many suitors, but she so gravely denied that she had a heart. Page Twenty-six t Mars High School They all believed her except young Reed, who was the lucky man. The tea room dissolved in space and I found myself at Dr. Faustus’ side in a large auditorium. Advancing across the stage, I saw Mildred Sanders. A hush fell as Mid began her address. ‘She told of her struggle up the ladder of Success and of her efforts to make her school the best. After presenting the diplomas to her Seniors a little flower girl handed her a bouquet of white roses from the Senior Class of the Johnstown High School. After offering Mildred our heartiest congratulations, we slipped away and found ourselves walking through a red wood grove toward a rustic cot- tage near a tiny Californian lake. Just then a powerful roadstcr drew up cottage. “That,” said Dr. Faustus, “is your old classmate, Catharine Hooks, lately wedded to California’s young senator, Bedell. She met him in Wash- | ington. They are spending their honeymoon at Catharine’s child home | near Los Angeles.”’ The grove was past and a large open field appeared. There was a large plane ready to leave the ground. “We'll go now,” said Dr. Faustus, “and we felt ourselves whisked into the machine and up above the clouds as fast as the wind. Before I realized it we were sailing at ease above a roaring river, in southern Brazil; an engi- neering camp and an immense bridge, almost completed, appeared through the clouds. Through a pair of powerful glasses I saw a dejected figure sitting on an old cracker box. “Tt’s Dave Roberts, isn’t it?” I asked my companion. “Yes,” Dr. Faustus replied, “this morning his pack train arrived from the coast and Dave’s customary letter from Maggie. He swears he will leave the bridge at once and go back to the States, alone. I saw a stir in the camp and an Indian runner appeared. He handed Dave a packet. It was quickly torn open and a glance sufficed to show it was a letter from Maggie. One line caught his eye “My aunt and I will arrive in Rio de Janiero on the 27th. I graduated from Vassar last week and couldn’t wait a minute longer. You'll meet the Patancither 6 yt” “Whoopee!” howled Dave, suddenly happy. “We'll be married on the 30th and then I'll SUCCEED. Mmm, she nearly drove me mad with waiting.” “Will she come?” I-asked. “Sure,” Dr. Faustus replied. A moment passed and I stood before the gleaming marble La Plaza hotel in Rio. On the terrace I saw a beautiful girl standing with her face turned toward the west. The setting sun glinted on her golden hair as Margaret Kilpatrick turned to speak to her companion. ‘Then up the steps Page Twenty-seven s and stopped. Two people descended and hand in hand they entered the — Mars High School je- rushed Dave still in his corduroy working suit. They were happy. The street scene faded and I heard as in a dream the melody of a piece - of music played in a haunting minor key. ‘The spirit of Chopin, Beethoven and Rubinstein seemed to attend as Mabel Werner’s fingers wandered over the keys. The audience sat in silent wonder and admiration as the’ spell of the music increased. In one of the front box seats 1s Mabel’s husband. When the score is ended they hurry home amid a storm of applause. Ina few minutes they stand by a snow white crib in the beautiful Cleveland home. The evening program is forgotten and Mabel stands glorified in the love of her husband and tiny son, the king of hearts. “Better that tribute than the praise of the nation.” The scene changed again and Dr. Faustus had transported me to Reno. There we heard my old classmate, Vera Hyett, had offered for sale her expensive mansion. Puzzled over this we paid her a call and she told us she was going east. She told us how after being married and divorced five times she had met her first husband and had fallen in love again. They. were to be married that afternoon,” she continued, ‘‘and then start east When they reached home they were going to housekeeping on a tiny farm near Mars, Pa.” 3 Nodding goodby, I turned toward the door and found myself standing on an upper balcony of an old chateau in southern Spain. Before me was Rosa Nauhaus, now Countess Somebody. “Come watch me get dinner,” she said, “the Count will play for us on the mandolin.” So Rosa made an omelet while the Count played on the mandolin and told Dr. Faustus and me how he had met Rosa studying music in Paris. He had wooed her till in desperation she had married him to get rid of him. In the twilight we all went boating on the ocean cove at the foot of the chateau and Dr. Faustus and I were wafted into the west, back into the eS Aa | There in a pretty suburban cottage I found Jane Stitzer adding a long list of figures. “What’s the matter?” I asked, curiously. ‘Why,’ said Jane, ready . to cry, “this column adds up nine hundred dollars.”’ “Well, what of it?” I replied. “Penny said we could keep house for two cents. How will we ever get nine hundred dollars?” she moaned. “The compound interest on two cents ought to amount to that in time,” I said, dryly. Gazing out of the window I saw a large machine flash by. Loyal Wal- ters was trying out his latest car. I looked and saw Jean was helping. ae ee Paige 2 are nty-eight it Mars High School “This one is pretty good, Jean,” he said. “It’s just five minutes since we left your school house. I’m doubling the size of the factory this year. My racer won at the Denver Races last week. Say, Jean, won’t you let me give you a roadster for your birthday?” A cloud of dust swept before me and I saw from a skyscraper window a large shipping yard. ‘The door opened and in stepped George Harbison, the young business manager of the shipbuilding association of Newark. He handed a sheaf of papers to the Vice-President and turned to go. “Just a minute,” said that worthy official, “we are finding your work so good that Mr. Blair and I have decided to raise your salary.” “Now,” I said, turning to Dr. Faustus, “what will I be?” “What would you be?” he parried. a ltissnard to decide,’ I replied. “Very well then,’ he replied, “you will be a lawyer and a teacher, by patience you will succeed in abolishing capital punishment in America. Is there anything else? Oh yes, if you want anything long enough and hard enough you will get it. Goodbye.” Crash! I awoke with a start. The sun was setting. It threw long shadows on the veranda floor. On the table lay the Senior Class Prophecy and on the floor the broken tumbler.

That’s us! As Juniors we have the goods. And as all good articles we are improving with time. On Septcmber 7, 1918, a seeming mob of thirty-four, guaranteed all | pure green freshies, attacked the quiet portals of Mars High School. Some | burning glances from some wise looking personages, whom we soon learned to be the faculty, somewhat drenched our spirits but we soon mustered | courage enough to usher ourselves inside and it did not take others long to | usher us to the “green room.” a After being installed oyr first year was harmonious. As is the well | established custom we chose our class colors that first year, also a president | and secretary. At the end of our Freshman year we are sure our teachers | might have said with truth, “well done!” In 1919, when this crowd again invaded the now familiar halls, we were | less in number, but we did not in the least lack in quality. We had lost | thirteen of our shining members but these vacancies were soon filled with | other bright stars, and they were proud to be counted one of us, so that our | number this year was twenty-five. | Our Sophomore year proved a huge success from all points of view, and good times were numerous. With much care and anxiety we mounted | a case of gorgeous butterflies waich now gracefully adorns the hall of dear | old Mars High School, in hopes that other struggling classes may profit by our endeavors. It is one of the many things which will keep us forever in the hearts and minds of all who enter in the doors of this old High. The green of the previous year had entirely disappeared and we were bright and happy both in classes and social affairs. We were well represented in all athletics and in fact every place where brains and energy were needed, of which we were well supplied. When September, 1920, came around, the doors of Mars High School seemed flung widest to the Juniors and we entered with all the grace and | dignity that becomes a Junior. Under a new faculty we had new rulings laid before us but in a short time we had become accustomed even to the | worst of these. We seemed bright lights, especially to the Freshmen who stood awed as we passed. Although we are least in numbers we are highest in quality. We also have the long and short of everything, including our members. As our Junior year draws to a close we are aiming to make a Senior class of which Mars High may well be proud and will not soon forget.

The ship was manned by Prof. Alfred Forman, Miss Effie Hasson, Miss Isobel Gass and Miss Lulu Bowman. The passengers were directed to the Freshman stateroom and the ship was soon launched on the broad sea of knowledge. It was comparatively smooth sailing for the Freshmen until they ran | into a storm off the coast of mid-term examinations, the storm lasted but | a few days and finally the ship entered calm waters with all the Freshmen weak but triumphant. Smooth sailing lasted for another five months and then the ship ran into another gale, but with the careful guidance of the crew the ship entered the commencement port, June, with all on board safe and happy. On September 7, 1921, the good ship Mars High set out on another voyage with the thirty-six Freshmen passengers now promotted to Sopho- mores and four new passengers added. This making a total of forty pas- sengers to occupy the Sophomore stateroom. On th is trip the ship was manned by Prof. Clarence Conley, Miss Effie Hasson, Mr. Carl Maffoe, Miss Mary Rudolf, Miss Lillie Cupp. Many social gatherings were enjoyed aboard the ship, in which the Sophomores played an important part. The mid-term storms of examinations were safely passed, and the Sophomores were again able to enjoy ship life. On the twenty-first of February all on board the ship were saddened on receiving word of the death of Rhea Boyd. Rhea was a member of the Sophomore class and he has left vacant a place that can never be filled. The ship has almost finished its second voyage and we, the Sophomore class, hope that we may enjoy our next two voyages and when finally land- ing at the port of graduation we shall be able to look back over our voyages with fond and happy memories.

When there is a social no one refuses to take the part assigned to him or her, least of all when the refreshments are passed around. They will even take the part of Senior on a literary program, who will not act unless driven to it. I am not a prophet nor the son of a prophet, therefore, | cannot say what will become of the Freshman class, but as far as quantity and quality, the two essential characteristics, necessary for a famous class, we have the goods. As to the quantity, we have the highest reccrd that was ever known in Mars High School. At the beginning of the school term September 7, 1920, we had a class roll numbering over sixty students. At the present time we have twenty-three members of the fairer sex and twenty-six of the masculine element in our class. Those who dropped out did so because of the lack of speed and energy necessary to keep pace with those still remaining in the race. | As for quality, we have everything which is necessary to make a com- plete class. We have artists, poets, debators, orators, musicians, composers, comedians, mathematicians, clowns and even material for the Presidency of the United States. If there is anything as to quality you wish, name it and we will produce it. We are the best class on earth. | We, like all organized classes have our Class President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. When the Senior Class decided to have a year book and called on us to help we at once responded and elected a Class Editor and a Local Editor to co-operate with the other classes. As aclass we have selected for our Class Colors, Gold and White instead of Green and Yellow as reported by the other Classes. Our Class Flower is the White Rose, which symbolizes purity of character. We are not perfect but we are climbing in that direction. The Freshmen have to set the lead in the social life this year. No one went home disappointed who attended our class socials. You may expect great things from the Freshman Class for we have aimed high. What we cannot accomplish by ability we will secure by force of numbers. iene what does the word Freshman mean? It means fresh, young, Edwin Anderson, ’24.

Shortly after this the Sorosis Society met and elected Graham deCoux president, and Evelyn Archer secretary. The Philos met and elected Loyal Walters president, and Dorothy Forsythe secretary. . Alternately every three weeks, on Friday afternoons, these two societies - have rendered programs, the majority of which have been very good. The school has also given two programs for the public, one on December 6,1920, and the other on March 17, 1921. Both programs were well rendered, and judging from the attendance, we believe they were appreciated by the public. The program rendered December 6 was as follows: 1. Song by audience. 2.

Pia ge Fourty-five Mars High School }e- Washington Spirit T was at Marion, Ohio, on the second of March, 1921, that as Mrs. Warren G. Harding was sitting in a comfortable arm-chair thinking over the events of the day and what the morrow would bring, that she was startled by the sound of footsteps resolutely coming up the hallway leading to the room she was in. She was alone and these strange footsteps somewhat disconcerted her. They approached nearer and nearer and almost instantly were at the door leading to the room. The door was closed, but just as the footsteps reached the door, Mrs. Harding looked up, and to her surprise and fear, saw coming, not through the doorway, but through the door, the figure of a tall, stately man, clad in a silk coat, silk breeches, silk hose and | slippers with large silver buckles. He held in his hand the three-cornered _ hat of Revolutionary days. As he advanced, Mrs. Harding recognized the kind, but resolute face of Washington, that beloved of all Americans. He came within a few paces of her, bowed in the graceful way, which historians assure us he had, and said in a calm, clear voice, “Mrs. Harding, first lady of the land, by your trembling hand I see you fear me. However, I beg of you to fear me not, for I have come to beg of you a favor great. If you fear me too greatly I must leave you and be disappointed in my wish. Therefore, again I beg of you to fear me not, but listen calmly to my story, and grant the request which I shall ultimately make of you.” By this time Mrs. Harding became assured that no harm would befall her so regained her composure. When she spoke, therefore, it was with a voice that trembled but slightly: “Speak on, oh! shade of Washington, for such I believe you are. Be assured that if your request come within my power it shall be granted you.” Again Washington bowed, and this time said, “My story is long, but I shall make it short so as not to tire you.’ And thus he began, “It was © ten o'clock on the morning of April 16, 1789, that I bade good-bye to my beloved Mount Vernon, and set out by stage on the long journey to New York, where I was to be inaugurated. It was at Alexandria that I had a taste of what I must expect on the long journey to the capital, for there my friends and neighbors had assembled tendered me a public dinner. It was with a heart close to overflowing that I bade adieu to these dear friends. All along the way I was the object of continual ovation. I assure you it brought to bear upon me the full realization of the great responsibility which fell upon me when I had accepted the leadership of this young but. glorious republic. Page Fourty-six ait Mars High Schoat Baltimore was the first city of importance I entered. The thunder of artillery was deafening as I entered the city. At Philadelphia a great civic banquet was held. When I crossed the Delaware River at Trenton, my mind returned to that win try night when with my brave men I had crossed there and defeated the British, thereby turning the tide of the war. At Elizabethtown, where I embarked on board ship for New York, I was attended by ships gaily decorated. It seemed the farther I went the more ships joined the pro- cession. Salutes were fired, and bands played as I landed, and my way from the dock to my place of residence was a veritable path of roses. That day I dined with Governor Clinton, and when night came I was assuredly ready to retire from the festivities of the day. The inauguration took place on April thirtieth. At twelve o’clock the city troops paraded before my door. | At twelve-thirty the procession commenced to the Senate Chamber of New York State where the oath was to be administered. First went the troops, then the cabinet, then came my carriage, containing Colonel Hum- phreys, my secretary, Mr. Lear, and myself. The foreign ministers and citizens brought up the rear. We arrived at the Senate Chamber, and at the appointed time the oath was administered, on the balcony overlooking the street, occupied by a vast multitude of people. Many people were also crowded at windows and on the roofs of adjacent houses. That is sufficient of my inauguration, and now I shall acquaint you with my request. It is this: permit me to accompany you on your journey to Washington during the inauguration, that I may see things as they are today. I shall be invisible to all except you, and my voice shall be audible to you alone. I shall occupy no space, and shall be able to hear your faintest whisper in answer to my questions, which I assure you shall be many. Mrs. Harding had listened with interest to the story and when Wash- ington finished she arose and said, “ Assuredly, I shall grant your request.” “T thank you greatly. Now I must go but I shall return when you board your carriage to take you to Washington.” Thereupon Washington was gone and Mrs. Harding retired for the night. The third of March as President Harding, Mrs. Harding and Mr. Harding’s father came down the front steps of their home in Marion, Ohio, ‘Mrs. Harding was aware of the presence of Washington. She retained perfect composure however while Washington followed them down the steps, from there to the waiting automobile. As they entered it, Washington said in a voice audible to Mrs. Harding only, “What form of carriage is this so finely built, with such magnificent upholsetry, and wheels of such rare Page Fourty-seven Mars High School t - - form? Why the long protruding front and where are the horses to draw the carriage?” : By this time they had entered the machine, and it had started down the street to the station. “This is the form of carriage, which we call an auto- mobile. It requires no horses to pull tt as it is propelled by a gasoline motor. “Marvelous,” was all Washington answered. After awhile he remarked, ‘such smooth streets.” | “Yes,” answered Mrs. Harding,” they are a vast improvement over ¢ They proceeded on their way to the station where a great surprise awaited Washington. | When they came within sight of the awaiting “special,” Washington asked in a surprised tone. What wonderful invention is this with its long line of magnificent coaches? What is that great iron vehicle at the front of these coaches? ‘That from which smoke pours forth in such volumes?” | “This is a train, our principle means of travel,’ Mrs. Harding answered. “That great iron creature emitting smoke at the head of the train is the locomotive which draws the train. It is propelled by means of steam generated in boilers within it. They are capable of giving eighty miles and more an hour.”’ “Over a mile a minute,” Washington remarked after they had boarded the train,” and such comfortable riding at such a great rate of speed.” They finally arrived at Washington. As they were whisked from the station to the Hotel Willard, Washington marveled at the great, high, and magnificent buildings which they passed; at the multitude of automobiles; at the absence of horses, and most of all at the aeroplanes hovering over them. Time passed; the inauguration time drew near. Senator Knox and “Uncle Joe’ Cannon arrived and formally took charge of the President in their car. They proceeded to the White House where Mr. Wilson with his party joined the Harding party. The procession proceeded to the Capi- tol. In the first car were Harding, Wilson, Knox and Cannon. The second car contained Mrs. Harding and Mrs. Wilson; the third, Coolidge and Marshall; and the fourth, Mrs. Coolidge and Mrs. Marshall. Following these were secret service men. At noon the oath of office was administered, and as the Bible was brought forth, Mrs. Harding whispered to Washington, “That is the same Bible upon which you took the oath.” “Is it really?” Washington replied, “It certainly is well preserved.” A great crowd has assembled in front of the Capitol, and this seemed to affect Washington greatly, for he uttered not a word, but stood im- Page Fourty-eight at Mars High School movable and gazed at the Fifth Regiment of Marines, which won fame at Belleau Woods and Chateau [hierry. After the oath of office had been administered, Harding delivered his inaugural address. In this he dwelt on the progress made by the nation, and attributed our success to the fact that America had never become entangled in foreign alliances. He said, “this attitude of America is not selfishness; it is sanctity. It is not aloofness; it is security. It is not suspicion of others; it is patriotic adherence to the things which made us what we are.”’ As Harding said this, Washington awoke from his reverie and said to Mrs. Harding, ‘In my farewell address I said, ‘the great rule of conduct for us in regard to foreign nations is in extending our commercial relations, to have with them as little political connection as possible. Europe has a set of primary interests which, to us have none or very remote relation. Hence she must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which _are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships and enmities. ’ After saying this, Washington disappeared. It must be remembered by the American people that Washington, a man of wide perspective, warned against foreign alliances, and therefore we have the Republican party, led by President Warren G. Harding, to thank for the fact that we still entertain and uphold this policy advised as fundamental and vital to American liberty, by the great Washington. Louis DANKMEYER, 24. Page Fourty-nine ee Saad tas iia re a aaa SIS i eager as re Mars High School Ye A Dress for Jane Y ‘HE sun shone brightly that morning and even from an attic window the spring wind could be felt, sweet and keen, making one feel that one wanted to be out in it, with one’s shoulders back, facing toward the exciting happy things that spring was sure to bring one. Jane Allen bending over a cedar chest in a dusty attic room felt the wind and gave her fluffy golden head a wistful lift. It was such an exciting, springy wind. The wind and the weather affected her too much for her own good. Giving her grandmother’s black taffeta dress an impatient toss she went to the window. i . Putting her dainty little hands on the sill she looked downward into the rose garden below. The wind was blowing bits of stick and dust about the garden and all the trees and bushes had arrayed themselves in their new spring attire. One rosebush had braved the cool wind and now two p ink rosebuds were nestling among the green leaves. What Jane saw evidently did not please her for she turned from the window with a frown on her brow and a decided pout of her pretty red lips. “Oh, what’s the use,” Jane addressed a little brown bird taat was swinging merrily on a tree top outside the window, and watching her intently with a pair of inquisitive black eyes. “Even the rosebushes have something to look forward to, but what have I? Nothing—but to graduate as honor student in a last summer’s voile dress.” “Cheer up, cheer up,” sang the little bird, and with a fluttering of wings left Jane looking at an empty tree top, but with a lifting of the corners of her mouth. Jane was never blue very long and her sense of humor always came to her and at the most critical moments. When one is the only daughter, and with an invalid judge for a father, a sense of humor is a valuable asset. Judge Allen had los¢ nearly all of his money and when a serious accident made a helpless invalid of the quick tempered old man, it was found that all that was left of a large fortune amassed by generations of Allens, was this comfortable home, a very small income and an attic full of lovely clothes worn by the Allen woren in more prosperous days. _ Jane was to graduate from Fairview High School as honor student and it was just two weeks before the important day that found her cleaning the attic. It was a sort of semi-annual affair,-this cleaning of the attic, and today Jane had ascended the stairs armed with mops, pails and clean white rags.. The truth of the matter was, she wanted to get her thoughts Page Bp ry ay - - it Mars away from her troubles, and the best way to accomplish such a task was to work. __ After her little chat with the bird she perched herself on the top of a high box and studied the toe of her slipper earnestly. ‘‘ Well,” she mused, _ “After settling up all our bills and saving out some money for other expenses, I find I will have five dollars to buy my dress for commencement. But, what is the use of worrying for it certainly will not clean this attic. [ll clean out mother’s cedar chest first.”” Jane slipped down from her high seat and opened the chest. Inside lay a beautiful trousseau. Jane picked up the filmy silk illusion _ veil and pressed it tenderly to her cheek. ‘‘How beautiful my mother | must have looked when she married Daddie. Oh, how I wish she were living and could see me graduate. I’m sure she would want me to have | pretty clothes like the other girls even if she had to take her own dresses | and make them over for me and—Why I could do it myself,” cried the | excited girl. Taking all the clothes from the chest Jane carefully sorted them. ‘The | heavy satins and brocades were put back into the chest andthe veil and thin silks were saved out. “I wonder if her satin slippers would fit me?” _asked Jane to herself. Taking one from its tissue paper wrappings she slipped it on her slender foot. ‘A perfect fit, and now I won’t even have | to buy slippers.” Picking the fragile material carefully up and with the satin slippers -l) in her hand, Jane descended the stairs with a very happy heart and a cheer- ful smile on her lips. Each evening after school found Jane locked in her room busily cutting and sewing. It was a few days before commencement and the dress was finished all but to sew on the satin rosebud girdle, when Jane heard her father’s querulous voice asking for her. She entered the room and kneeling {| at his bedside kissed him tenderly. “Did you want something, Daddie?”’ “Yes, Jane, I want you to tell me all about your school plans,” answered the old judge. “Well Daddy, we are going to have our commencement exercise out in the open and I just wish you could see how pretty the school lawn looks since we have fixed it. The boys built.a large platform and the girls covered it with roses. Arches of roses lead to it and palms and ferns are banked at the back of the stage. Electric lights are concealed in the arches and when they are lighted, it looks like a fairyland of roses.” “But, listen Jane, do you have a nice dress to wear?’’ questioned the old judge. i Page Fifty-one High School Mars High School feo “Yes, Daddy, just wait a minute and I will show it to you.” Jane | ran from the room but returned in a few seconds with the dress in her arms. When her father saw the dress he looked at Jane and said in a stern voice, “Where did you get the money to buy this? I hope you didn’t take any that we would need for expenses.”’ “No, Daddy,I didn’t. I made it myself,” answered the girl with a | proud ring in her voice. Then she told her father how she had taken her mother’s wedding veil and made the dress. When she finished the story she said wistfully. ‘‘ Don’t you wish she could be here with us and see me graduate with honor?”’ “Yes, daughter, I do,” sighed the old man. He closed his eyes and two tears slipped out from under the wrinkled lids. Jane, seeing them, stooped, kissed him on the forehead and slipped softly from the room, her own eyes wet with tears. : It was the night of the commencement and Jane was dressing for the | most important event of all her eighteen years. Shaking out her golden hair she fluffed it softly around her clear white forehead and drawing it | back coiled it in a shining roll low on her neck with shy little curls peeking | out in unexpected places. | Now she was ready to put on the dress. Turning her back to the long | French mirror she slipped the dress over her head and with nervous fingers fastened it. Then she turned and gazed into the mirror. Surely that starry eyed girl reflected back was not Jane Allen. From the tips of the | tiny satin slippers to the top of the glorious golden head she was perfect. The dress was like a misty cloud that clung to the slender form. A wreath of tiny satin rosebuds encircled the waist and nestled in the tulle draped softly about the dimpled white shoulders. After a last glance Jane wrapped herself in a long cloak that completely | covered her dress. All that was visible was her golden head above and a | pair of slender silk ankles and dainty satin slippered feet below. When Jane arrived at the school all the rest of the class was there. | Mary Convery was the only girl in the dressing room when Jane removed — her cloak. | “Oh, your beautiful dress, and how sweet you look in it. Where did | you ever get it?” cried Mary all in one breath. | After Jane had answered all the questions, Mary said, ‘Did you | know that Dean Burion is to be in the audience tonight? He used to go to art school with Professor Briggs, and so he has come here to find material to work on. You know he was knighted in London a year ago and they say | that only worth wuile artists are knighted.” Just as she finished speaking the girls heard the gong ring. Hurrying | Page Fifty-two f Mars High School on ——— to the auditorium they formed into line and were soon marching down the rose arched path to the raised platform. It was one of the prettiest sights Fairview ever beheld. The girls were all in white and the boys wore blue coats and white trousers. Jane had the seat of honor on the stage, and when she arose to give her ovation at the close of the exercise, the moon, shining through the trees made her look like a silver fairy. Dean Burton in the fourth row from the front never took his eyes away from the sweet girlish form. When she had finished speaking he turned to Professor Briggs and asked eagerly, “Who is that beautiful girl? Could you introduce her to me? Why she is just the person I have been looking for and I wonder if she would consent to pose for a picture which I want to paint. If she will I am going to name it “Moon Mist,’ for that is just what she looks like.”’ After the commencement exercise was over Professor Briggs introduced Dean Burton to Jane. “T was just wondering if you would consent to pose for a picture which I want to paint?” he said when the formal introduction was over. “Tf you do not mind, I would like to drive you home in my machine and we could talk it over.” When they arrived at Jane’s home it was all arranged that she would pose for the picture, and as he took her hand in bidding her good night there was a look of admiration in his eyes which was not altogether professional. When she ‘had entered the house he turned to his waiting machine, then, with a backward glance he said softly to himself, “The Little Moon Mist Girl. No, My Little Moon Mist Girl.” VALLEY Dar.ine, Sophomore. Page Fifty-three T BALL TEAM e) e) ee ° a ron Om Se 12 jm Mars High School. _ ait Mars High School Foot Ball HE season was started by purchasing complete outfits for the squad. Thirty candidates reported for the first night practice. The season was opened abroad, the team playing Allegheny High on September 25. As this was supposedly a practice game for Allegheny, the coach had | the entire squad out, expecting to give each a chance. But Mars, playing hard, defensive game, held-them, and threatening at times, forced Allegheny to keep his first stringmen in. Both teams lacked pep. Widasiqquatter Allegheny using good judgement, put in some fresh men and it was in this quarter ti.at Allegheny scored, the game ending 13—0 in Allegheny’s favor. On October 9, we met our old rivals, Evans City at home. This game was a bitter disappointment to all, Evans City winning by a score of —O0. The defeat was bad, but it was in this game that our quarterback was dis- abled for practically the rest of the season. This would have been a hard blow to any team but especially so to ours. The next game was played with Freedom at Mars on October 16. Our team played good foot-ball thru’out the game and defeated Freedom 19—6. Our next game was played with Arnold School on October 23, which added another victory to our credit the score being 6—0. In this game another valuable man was lost for the rest of the season. R. Williams, playing fullback, was injured. On the following Friday Duquesne University High came to Mars with a light but fast aggregation confident of victory. The game was hotly contested throughout the first half, but in the second half we opened up with some old Pitt formations which had been taught us by Dr. (Red) Carlson, of Pitt, who had been coaching us for two weeks. This attack was irresistable and was not checked until we had scored two touch downs. In the latter part of the last quarter Duquesne University High rallied and scored by using a great aerial attack. On November 6, we traveled to Monaca, and were defeated by that team, the score being 21—0, although Mars had the ball within a foot of scoring. re Pra gle Fifty-five SSS Sack ay enn at reves ong wizrgame necepapvemimemee tin?

Our team with three regulars out of the game, outfought the visitors and the game ended in our favor 19—0. On November 20, accompanied by Coach Carlson and about five hun- dred rooters, the team journeyed to Evans City to fight the battle of their life. The field was a quagmire of mud. This mud slowed both teams up considerable but it did the most damage to us, for our team had a lighter back field and a lighter line. Another thing that stopped us was the fact that our attack was built — up—around Norton and the mud gave him no chance to get away. When he did get away there was only one man in front of him, but on account of the mud he had no chance to sidestep him. Without a doubt, had he been on a dry field he would have made a touchdown. | Evans City earned the touchdown they got.

Page Sjxty-sinx -f Mars High Schoot Girls Athletics | HE girls’ basket-ball season opened with enthusiasm among the major- ity of the high school girls. With Miss Cupps as coach, and James Ellis as referee, the practices were carried on twice a week. ‘Two teams were picked and several preliminary games were played. The first open game was held with Chicora, on February 4, the final score being 7—6, in favor of Chicora. This being the first open game at home, everyone admitted that the Mars girls held their opponents well. On February 16 Crafton High School girls came to Mars, confident of victory. | The opposition of the Mars girls was quite a surprise to the Crafton girls. The game ended with a score 8—3 in favor of Mars. This game being won | the girls were much more confident of themselves. On February 25 they went to Chicora determined to come home with the laurels. The game was hard fought but Mars came out on top, with a score 12—10. The girls’ team met their second defeat on March 18, when the Monaca girls came to Mars. The visiting team was composed of able players and fought for the victory, although the Mars girls also fought hard to hold their own. The final score was 8—3 in favor of Monaca. The team then went to Sharpsburg on March 29, and played the preliminary game. At the end of the second quarter, the score was in favor of Mars, but at theend | of the last quarter Sharpsburg came out on top, with a score 14—8. The return game of Sharpsburg, on April 1, ended the girls’ basket-ball season. This being the last game, the girls were determined to end the season right. The team played well as a group and were encouraged more by the rooting of the students and people. Sharpsburg fought hard to defeat us but soon found that we were a much stronger team than they thought we were. Although Sharpsburg scored first, Mars came out 8 points ahead, the score being 11—3.

The class met each Monday, at 4 o’clock. The text book used is put out by the American Red Cross on “Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick.” This book supplemented by Miss Ash’s knowledge and an equipment costing over $100 makes the course well worth taking. The book deals with the causes and prevention of sickness and common health rules for the home and the ability to notice symptoms. The chap- ters and demonstrations dealing with babies and their care and the daily routine of the sick room proved most instructive and interesting. Along with these we learned bandaging and care in emergencies. The demonstrations were really enjoyed and pains were used to make everything clear. Among other things were bed making and bathing and dressing of infants. The Practical examination was taken on March 14, and the written examination, two weeks later. Those passing these examinations receive a diploma from the Red Cross. The object of the Red Cross in forming these classes is not to raise money, for in fact they do not pay, but to decrease the death rate in the United States, especially among children. It is a good movement and regret should be expressed for the discontinuation of the classes. Puytuis CoNnneELL, ’23, Secretary.

While the orchestra was small various members of the alumni and the young folks co-op2rated with the members of the school to make the orchestra a success, . The past year has been both successful and encouraging. ‘The members of the upper grades were asked to join the orchestra thus benefitting both themselves and the high school. | The orchestra plays for all events connected with the school. It also | furnishes music for the community meetings. The citizens and pupils appre- ciate the music which the orchestra furnishes and wishes it great success in the future. The present orchestra consists of twelve members. Four first violins, three second violins, two first cornets, one second cornet and one tenor saxophone. Mr. A. C. Irvine was the director of the orchestra the first two years. Isadore Weinstein a member of the alumni was director last year. He also - played first violin. Miss Keiser, our music teacher, is the present director. Four members of the Orchestra will graduate this year, but they will co-operate with the others in spirit and wish them great success.
