Her place may not be so renowned, Nor her buildings quite so grand, Her rooms may be more crowded Than others | have known, But she is to me the place that I call home. She may not have the largest works Nor fame for what she’s done; Among a lot of other schools She may be only one. But just as long as I go there I’ll sing her praises loud, And tell the people everywhere That of my school I’m mighty proud. I will not speak an unkind word About her while I live, While I accept from out her store The things she has to give. I'll praise her name and tell her worth Wherever I may go. I’m proud of this old school of mine I'll let the whole world know. ALIGE HARBISON, 733. ¢ THE PoOANESL + Editorial Staff PROP COA? GONLE YE IS .

He likes the girls as well as they like him. We wish you success. 11 E PLANET ¢ EVELYNE ARCHER “Pre” Alpha Society; Treasurer of Senior Class; Treasurer of PrLaner; “Uke” Club. To have winning ways is quite a charm but Evelyne has this charm. Her thoughts are ever centered on a good time although her studies are never neg- lected. Her large, blue eyes give her away when michief has been played. DOUGLAS DeCOUX “Douc” President of Beta Society ; Football 19, 20, °21, °22; Football Manager 721, °22. Doug is one of those innocent 1-0-o0-k- in-g boys whose looks are somewhat de- ceiving. Many a good laugh he_ has given to our class, and we wish him much happiness in this old world. He has never failed to do his part on the football field. JEANETTE AVERILL “JENNY” Secretary of Alpha Society; Music Com- mittee. Jeanette is the baby of our class both in age and in size. She is very talented in the higher arts of music and dancing, and also has that enticing charm called personality. “And still the wonder grew that such a small head could carry all she knew.” 12 PLANET LUCILLE ALLISON “Lucy” Alpha Society; Orchestra; Basketball, ’23 A perfect surprise to those who know her, is “Lucy,” and to those who don’t know her so intimately, she carries an indefinable and enticing charm. Lucy, we hope where ever you go your every effort will be crowned with success and don’t giggle when he gets on his knees. HAROLD WILLIAMS JosH—Hapn—Bazne—Oppy Alpha Society; Athletic Editor; Foot- ball °20, °21, °22; Basketball °21, °22, 23; Cap’t.—Football, °22. Josh is a very important member of our class. He has achieved much in athletics and wins the admiration of all who know him. The composer of “For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow” must have had our Josh in mind when he wrote the song. VALLEY DARLING “DIMPLes” Beta Society; Play Committee; L:terary Editor of Prianet. Studious, poetic and charming—these apply to Valley. She is held in esteem by her classmates. We find her always on duty when any social function has been planned. Although she did not join us until our Sophomore year she is one of our best students. eH be Pl ANG ¢ CLYDE PARK Alpha Society; Class Valedictorian.

She is talented in differ- ent lines’ but her “Uke iss her best friend. Her motto is: “Duty before pleasure.” ALICE HARBISON “AL? —“HARBY”’ Beta Society; Associate Ed-tor of PLANET; “Uke” Club. Sweet Alice Benbolt, as the old song goes was just like our Alice today. Al- though her name is not Ben she has the pleasing quality of bolting in and out and all around cheering us and waken- ing us just when we're direfully in need of it. She is keen on a good time first last and always and has made many friends since joining us three years ago. 1 £ TLoHESPLCAN 2 GERTRUDE BLACK “GERTIE ” Beta Society. Associate Editor. Gertie has always been ready to par- ticipate in any singing for literary .and for the class. She is very deeply : in- terested in this phase of education, but her main interest is looking patiently for- ward to commencement. WILBUR BUXTON “Buck — WIB” Beta Society; Manager of Basketball °22. Football °19, ‘21, ’22. Buck is the important looking member of our class, regarded by those who know him as an “all around: good fel- low.” He excells in athletics. and can always be depended on, especially by the girls. All hail to you in later years. HELEN ROBERTS “SrortTy” Beta Society; Associate Kditor. Basketball °22. Dainty, diminutive, always full of pep. Helen makes up in accomplishments what. she lacks in stature. We all have an idea what she will become after leay- ing High School, but do not know for certain. We all wish her success. 15 ‘ MERRELL HUTCHMAN THE OS Pos A Nee + MYRING PROFFIT “Sate Beta Society; “Uke” Club; Play Com- mittee. Myring is one of the most happy and carefree girls of our class. Nothing seems to bother her—not even the boys. We hope that she will become a success- ful teacher, but not remain one all her life. “EMPTY” Alpha Society; Local Editor; Football 21, °22. Merrell Hutchman is handsome, tall and slim. Of his jokes and wit, very few excel him. He wears a smile apparent to all. And has been faithful to our games of ball. He comes to class, has scarcely seen his book. From his teacher he gets a scolding look. Somehow he found his way to knowledge. We wish you success if you enter college. HAZEL DUNHAVER “SuE” Alpha Society. “Uxe” CLus Hazel is a happy-go-lucky girl as you all know. We have come to the conclusion that she leads a double life. She plays the reserved part when she thinks that it will be a means to an end. The rest of the time she is as noisy and giggly as the rest of them. Her sense of humor surely must be controlled by a hair spring. 16 a it Eee PLANE E ELWINA BENNET “Dor” Literary Editor; Orchestra; President of “Uke” Club; Beta. Elwina as a classmate is sure a jolly girl. She is always happy, smiling and gay. Although when it comes to serious things such as Chemistry, Virgil and Plane, she is right there on the job, a bright, shinning example of one who likes work and fun. LOYAL KENNEDY “SEEDS” Football °20, °21, 22; Beta Society. Loyai, better known as “Seeds” or “Farmer” among his classmates, is re- spected by everyone. Especially by some of the Sophomores. He likes his books and athletics, too, most of all Football. He has proven to his class his ability to tackle in the past season. Good luck, “SEEDS.” BERTHA DEAN “BERTIE” Beta Society. As we have journeyed through our past career, we have found a friendly lassie. She always has a friendly smile for everybody. Her lessons have never known neglect. Bertha, we wish you success in the coming years. a — a RAY DAVIDSON “Davis” Alpha Society. Here is a noble Senior. We find him at school almost every day. Some may think him idle but in truth he is very bright. We hope we will always find him a shining “Ray” of light. 1 THE ?P-LA NE? ¢ ANNABEL HUSTON S BETTY” Local Editor; Alpha Society. Annabel is quiet and industrious, but always has a smile for every one. She has many delightful qualities that make her one of the many liked members of class °23. We wish you much success. LAURETTA KIDD “LAURA”’ Alpha Society. Laura is very bashful and shy, She will not at the boys even glance As they are passing by. Neither does she care to dance But always studies her lessons well. And never her duties shirk, As every one can tell She always does her work. 8 THBP WAN ET DALE CONLEY “CONLEY” Orchestra; President of Alpha Society; Basketball, ’22. Dale is one of the talented members of our class, helping to make it a success by his singing and his saxophone. He takes an interest in athletics, but still remains above the average in his studies. He has always attracted the girls but his interest in this respect has been cen- tered on some one out of school. His class mates wish him great success. IRENE HOOKS “RENIE” ; Alpha Society; Secretary of the “Uke’ Club. Irene is the modest. quiet lass of our class who never shirks her lessons. She is one of our prize debaters. Her favor- ite saying: “Where there’s a will there’s a way.” RARE LISE “Last” Associate Editor Beta. Society; Basketball °22, °23. E—stands for eagerness—shown in his classes. A—for artfulness—shown around lassies. R—restlessness—shown before a game. L—lonliness—which is not his aim. Earl was listed with the stars; He couldn’t help it for he is one of Mars. MARGARET PETTY “Marcin” “Mac” Beta Society; Basketball ‘21, 722; Cap- tain °23; Athletic Editor. Margie is an all around girl When anything funny has happened Margie’s little giggle can be heard. As a basket ball player she is a star; Her brilliancy is shown in her school- work also. We wish her success in every way. DH tPA NEG ¢ CHARLES FULLERTON “CuHuck” Football °’22, °28; Assistant Business’ Manager of Pranert; Beta Society. We just can’t help liking him. He usually goes at things like the B. O., slowly, but when he starts, look out! He never appeared on the “grid” until this season, and he surely did add to the team. Here’s to you, Charles, and do beware of the w omen. 20 RAYMOND PYLE “Pye” Business Manager of the PLaner; Alpha Society. Everybody likes Raymond, especially the girls. He seems to be a very shy young man to those who don’t know him, but you can't tell a book by its cover. He is full of fun and always has a smile. His motto is: “Smile and the World Smiles With You.” We wish him great success, ee Pie ANE T JESSIE DeBEAU HARRIS “DrspBy”’ Beta Society. Some have an inclination for work, others have an aversion to it. Jessie belongs to the former class. She is a first-class student and is quite accomp- lished as a story writer. She often en- tertains us in chapel. BEATRICE HARRIS “BEE” Beta Society. Beatrice is the smallest member of our class. She has a large vocabulary and excels in arguing. It has been said, “The best goods are done up in small packages.” Well, here is a perfect ex- ample. We wish you the best of luck, Beatrice. ¢ Ta EP TACNeE I £ Senior Class History The fifth day of September in the year nineteen hundred and nine- teen is a day which will never be forgotten by the class of nineteen- twenty three. On this particular day a band of very intelligent people desiring to seek more knowledge, were told of a sanctuary where an abundance of knowledge existed, and if they abided by the laws and rules thereof, their thirst for knowledge would be quenched. So the band decided to try it out, and entered the sacred portals of Mars High School 1n a very contented state of mind. Our band consisted of thirty-eight members, some were former eighth-grade students of Mars Public School, others were from the surrounding countryside. However our contentment was short lived, we soon found out we were not as important as we felt, and after many mistakes and foolish questions we became accustomed to this new mode of living and began to feel at home. After becoming rightly established we came to the conclusion that we needed a leader, so we called a meeting and chose a very manly youth, Randall Williams, to lead and guide us. We decided a common insigna was needed to show our independance and we chose colors of orange and black to be our emblem. During the year, the Freshman, as we were called, gathered for many social functions and feasts. In this year many black and fearful battles were waged with the tribes of higher station and especially with a tribe known by the name of “The Faculty,’ whose leader was Prof. Alfred H. Foreman. But in all these battles the Freshmen came out victorious and after a short rest were ready tobegin a new and more difficult journey, the band then became known as ‘The Sophomores.’ _ On our second journey we took up the quest with still a member- ship of thirty-eight, as new members filled the places of the ones who had left. In this year ‘The Faculty’ acquired a new leader, Prof. Clarence A. Conley, who was a graduate of Mars High in the year nineteen hundred and ten. 22 ¢ Fl Ea PaaS Neer ¢ On this second journey, in our quest for knowledge, we became to feel quite at home and not so important as we had heretofore. We had many good times and often provoked the wrath of the members of “The Faculty’ upon us, and often there was weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth. In the midst of our joys a great sadness befell us, one of our members, RheaBoyd, was called by death. Foot sore and weary we had gained another step in our search for knowledge and now we took the name of “The Juniors’ upon us. In the third year we started the journey with thirty-six members. By this time we began to be looked up to, and were now allowed to mingle with the greatest band, known as ‘The Seniors.’ To show our appreciation we provided a feast in honor of “lhe Seniors,’ and there was much rejoicing. During the year we decided to purchase seals in the form of rings. These were needed to show our station in life, so a meeting was called and the rings chosen and sent for. Thus time sped on, we bravely weathered all storms, and then again advanced, and became ‘Seniors.’ We started our fourth journey with a membership of thirty-two, with Prof. Clarence A. Conley, still the ruler of ‘The Faculty.’ During this year the various bands became very disobedient, so a new form of punishment was adopted, known as the ‘The Detention Class;’ and w oe be unto the man, woman or child of any band, who was caught disobeying the laws or rules of Mars High School. They were thrust into prison, or in other words “The Dentention Class,’ without even a trial; thus the prestige of the ‘Seniors’ has been intruded upon, as there was no distinction between Freshman and Seniors when new members were needed for the upkeep of “The Detention Class.’ This journey was a very busy one, many meetings were held, and with rehearsals for the play and gathering material for the Year Book, time did not hang heavily on our hands. However in spite of the “The Detention Class’ and others con- flictions we came to the end of our journey, satisfied with the knowledge at Mars High, and now we will soon be separated, each going our own separate ways, some still seeking for “The Valley of Truth’ and ‘The Fountain of Knowledge,’ others contented with what they have already obtained. In the face of all hardships and trials we have reached our goal, and surrender our places to others, wishing each one joy and success.

Puzzled by the terms of the will, naturally averse to society, he hears that the daughter in question is a society girl. He goes directly to America, seeks the father, Chester Stone, frankly states the case and declares that in accordance with his mother’s desire, he will meet the daughter, enter the lists and should there be mutual disapproval as a result of the meeting, forfeit the money. In the meantime, Elizabeth Stone disapproving of the method of her socially ambitious aunt and wholly out of sympathy with a social career, has gained her father‘s reluctant consent to a scheme of her own, namely, that she be allowed to spend a month at the Stone mountain home, under an assumed name. When young Evans, in the interview with Chester Stone, declares his intentions of spending a time in the mountains—incognito—before making his trial with the daughter, Mr. Stone in a flash conceived the plan of suggesting the mountain spot where his own daughter will be, hoping that propinquity and unknown identity will bring about a mutual attachment—for he likes the young man and for reasons of his own desires the marriage. This suggestion 1s accepted and under the name of John Smith, Rodney Evans makes his way to Estill which is the summer home of the Stone family. There, under the name of Barnes, Elizabeth, her sister, Theodora, her father’s younger brother, Lawrence Stone and Rex Raymond, a life-long friend are domiciled. Mr. Stone has already revealed the terms of the will to Elizabeth, has told her of his love for Rodney’s mother and although Elizabeth realizes that her marriage to the son would bring her father happiness, she seeks to forget it all in the free, wholesome life of the mountains. The inevitable happens; Elizabeth and Rodney, the identity of each unknown to the other, meet and love; and their happiness is broken only by the arrival of Alison Barrington, a handsome and intriguing divorcee who has met Rodney in Paris and who has desired to possess her self of his income. Through Mrs. Channing, the worldly aunt, she hears of the will, immediately recognizes Rodney, learns that he has an 25 ¢ THE PLANET ¢ assumed name and devines the situation. Subsequently finding that she has no power over him, she resolves to destroy Elizabeth’s happiness; accordingly, she reveals his identity and represents him as a former lover of her own. Elizabeth is persuaded that Rodney, knowing her true name has won her love, only to secure his inheritance and in her erief she seeks some way of saving her pride. Rex Raymond, her friend for years, who has often urged Elizabeth to marry him, insisting that good fellowship is more potent than sentimentality where matrimony is concerned, has made her promise that 1f at any time she changes her mind and sees fit to accept him, she has only to declare herself. Elizabeth feeling that an engagement to Rex is the only solution of the affair makes such an announcement just as Rodney comes back to receive his answer. Complications ensue. Rodney naturally does not under- stand nor will Elizabeth listen to him. Rex, in the meantime has fallen in love wi th Peg, a little mountain girl and owing to nis previous promise to Elizabeth can not release himself, now that she has taken him at his word; and Elizabeth, even after she realizes her mistake, fears to hurt Rex's love for Peg and begs her to make Peg happy. Elizabeth joyfully straightens the tangled threads and summons Rodney to her on the last day of December just as the clock strikes twelve. The attachment of Lawrence for Joyce, brought about by the schemes and mischief of Tom and Theodora, the two who have been assigned to indefinite childhood, forms an amusing by-plot.

On entering we found ourselves in a very large room which con- tained many different kinds of scenery. In one part there was laid a scene of a gorgeous room. A young lady reclined on a_ beautiful velvet divan. As we gazed at this serene picture we were startled by a deep bass voice shouting, “Register grief.” Turning quickly we saw a man wildly vesticulating, one hand over his heart, his other thrown out in most piteous manner. “More pep to this, young lady,’ he boomed again. As the camera clicked he turned and saw us standing In awe. immediately his expression of business changed to that of cordi- ality, and we recognized Douglass DeCoux. What a surprise! We talked excitedly for a few minutes and in this short time found that our old classmate, in spite of his rapid progress was still the same old “Doug.” Then he said, “! think that | can give you another surprise,” and he motioned for the young lady on the divan to join us. “Allow me to introduce my leading lady, Miss Annabel Alter.” “Annabel Houston,’ we both cried in one breath. We had conversed only a short time when Douglass interrupted by saying, “Bu t girls, you have not explained your presence in Holly- wood. Are you thinking of going into the Movies?” “Oh, no,” said Jeanette, “Lucille and I are just taking a little pleasure trip around the world.” She then explained how we had acci- dentally met after years of Separation. As we were both “modern bachelor girls’ and travelling being our common interest we had de- cided to travel ensemble. Douglass became our escort for the rest of our visit in Hollywood and on the last day took us to the depot in his Rolls Royce. Having grown weary of looking at the scenery, although it was very beautiful, we turned our chairs from the window and tried to in- terest ourselves In some magazines. Jeanette was unsuccessful in this attempt so amused herself by observing the passengers. “What a handsome man,” she exclaimed, “but doesn’t his face look familiar, Lucy” “Bless my heart if it isn’t Wilbur Buxton, and that must be his wife,” indicating a lady who was seated with her back toward us. 35 ee ee ea rs THE PLANET ¢ We crossed over to their chairs and at the first glance Wilbur rec- ognized us; and his wife turned out to be more than (?rrrP). After exchanging commonplaces we learned that Wilbur was an influential banker in San Francisco and that he was going East on business. Also that Alice Harbison was his private secretary ‘and was so efficient that he had left her in full charge of his affairs. We told them that we in- tended to stop at Denver. Mrs. Buxton quickly said, “That is where we are going, too. We are making a very short visit to Mr. Kennedy, who lives several miles from Denver.” “Surely you don’t mean ‘Seeds?’ Oh, Loyal was his name,” .asked Lucille. “Yes, it is ‘Seeds,’ alright,” said Wilbur. “He has one of the largest and best ranches in the West He is meeting us at Denver and will be glad to have you visit him, I’m sure.” - When we arrived at Denver a large, well-dressed man came for- ward to greet us. He insisted upon our going home with them. Soon we were speeding along a heautiful road and at length drew up in front of a large ranch house. Loyal’s wife proved to be a very interesting entertainer, for they filled the next two days with pleasures. Loyal told us that Earl List was a very prominent Civil Engineer, and was working not far from there; so he arranged for Earl to spend one day with us. What a wonderful time we had giving reminiscences of our days in Mars High. The following afternoon we went on our way and made Chicago our next stopping place. The first afternoon there we went to visit the Chicago (Normal) of Physcial Education. Can you guess whom we found teaching therer It was none other than Margaret Petty. As we watched her conduct her basket ball team she proved her ability as a coach, just as she proved her ability as a player in the days of yore. She said that Irene Hooks was teaching writing in the Graded School in that city, so we went to her hotel to see her. During the next few days we saw both girls often. One evening we went to the Grand Opera. A hush fell over the audience as the curtain went up. A small, beautifully gowned woman appeared upon the stage. That is “Gertrude Black,’ whispered Lucille in surprise. It was Gertrude, but her name was no longer Black for she raised her eyes to one of the boxes where a handsome man sat, his eyes filled with expectancy and ad ‘miration. “Another of our classmates who has reached the top of the ladder. When we came to Pittsburgh we were certain that many of our friends would be living there. One day as we were walking along we came to a large office building. A very odd sign was near the doorway, “PAINLESS DENTISTRY’’—-W illiams Brothers, Office 7th floor. “Could that be Randall and Harold, | wonder?” said Lucille. “Let us go up to their office and inquire,” answered Jeannette. Their waiting room was large and very luxurious. We asked for one of the doctors then sat there wondering what we would do and say if he 36 THE PLANET | 4 should be a stranger, but our fears all vanished for just then the door opened and a fair woman stepped into the room followed by a small boy. Of course it was Esther, she recognized us and while we were talking Randall appeared. He looked very dignified, but his surprise drove ail dignity away. He sent for Harold, and when he came upon the scene we scarcely recognized him. What had made the difference? He wore a small dark mustache which transformed his face entirely. We took dinner with them the next evening, and a happy surprise had been prepared for us, for Myring Proffit was there. She was teach- ing in the Primary Department of a large school in one of the suburbs, and liked her work very much, we were sure of that for her dimples were as pretty as ever. Several days later we started for a short visit to Washington, D. C. Just as we entered the depot a man rushed up to us and said, “Hello, girls; how is life treating your” It was Russell Stitzer. He was leav- ing the city on the next train, but in a hurried conversation we learned that he was editor of the “Washington Times,’ the most widely read paper in that part of the country. While visiting the interesting places we decided to be present at a session of the House of Representatives. An important bill was being discussed and the Speaker of the House announced that Miss Hazel Dunhaver, Representative from Pennsylvania, would speak. How Hazel had become a politician is still a mystery, but nevertheless she was the most eloquent speaker in Congress. Now for a few days in New York before sailing. We were stopping at the Waldorf and were there only a few hours when we had a tele- phone call. A woman’s voice came over the wire. Had we never heard that little chuckle before? After much guessing, she told us that she was Mrs. Helen Roberts ( . Myring had written to her about our coming to New York. She made us promise that we would come to visit her, and sent her car for us and took us to her beautiful home. She told us that they had bought a summer home on the Hud- son. More interesting yet that Raymond Pyle had sold it to them. He was a noted Real Estate Agent and was known all over the country for the quick sales that he made. One afternoon Helen took us to a lecture given by Phyllis Co n- nell. Her subject was, “The Position of Woman Throughout the World.” She had traveled for many years and knew of the customs that existed in all parts of the world. We spoke to her after the lecture and found her as jolly as ever. While reading a popular magazine Jeannette said, “I wonder if these could be the Harris Girls, the one is a great soloist and the other a sculptress.” “] wouldn’t doubt that they are,” said Lucille. .“For don’t you remember that Jessie had a fine voice and Beatrice had the talent to become a sculptress I’m sure.” In a few days we had to say “good-bye” and were soon on the boat ready to sail. We went on deck, the Captain was walking about 37 ¢ THEY PUVANE SDS ¢ giving orders here and there. “What a tall man the Captain is,’ re- marked Lucille, “He reminds me of Merrell Hutchman.” “Tt is Merrell Hutchman!” cried Jeannette. Hearing her words the Captain lifted his cap and said, “‘Is t-there anything I can do for you, Madame?” “Yes, would you please tell me if your name is Capt. Hutchman?”’ nervously asked Jeannette. “Well, 1f it isn’t L-L-L-Lucille and J-J-J-Jeanette,’ with the same old stutter of High School Days. We had talked only a few minutes when an officer drew him aside and, alter talking to him in subdued tones for some time, he turned to us and said he was needed in another part of the boat, arid promised to “look us up.” lrarther down the deck we saw a lady and gentleman seated in steamer chairs. They were both reading and did not notice our approach. The lady was very fair, large waves of golden hair were visible under her soft hat. She looked up as we drew near, and suddenly down went her book and she jumped up saying, “Why Jeannette and Lucy; where did you drop from?” Elwina Bennet! We we all talking at once, then she introduced us to her husband. He drew up chairs for us, and we told them of our encounter with school friends. Elwina, opening a book, said, “Did you know that Valley Darling is now a noted authoress? Here is her latest novel. It sure is a thrilling story.” At Liverpool we had to leave them for Elwina’s husband was am- bassador to England, and they had to go directly to- London. We went to the United States Office in Liverpool to get some needed information. On entering we were sent to the man in charge. Ina large office, whom did we find? Dale Conley! Our business was for- goiten while we talked of the changes that had been made in the lives of our class mates. After we had visited and obtained some informa- tion, we left for Paris. There were so many shops in Paris and we spent hours in them. One shop window was very attractive, on a neat sign was this name, “Mme. Beaufot.” We entered a beautiful room, everywhere were gowns, nats and ornaments. A lady came forward, wearing a very becoming dress. She may have been Mme. Beaufot to Paris, but she was Evelyn Archer to us. She took us to her rooms and we chatted gaily, until a handsome man interrupted us. He was a Frenchman, sure enough, and the Monsieur Beaufot. They told us that they were designers and many of the Nobility of Paris came to them for their gowns. In our conversation Evelyn mentioned that a strange theft had been committed in their shop sometime before, and that they had gone to The Davison Detective Agency to have the mystery solved. “Oh, do you remember Ray Davison, who was in our Class?” asked Lucille. . “Certainly, I do,’ said Evelyn, “he is a famous detective here.” 38 THE PLANET ¢ We were sorry to leave them after meeting, but our arrangements for traveling on through Europe had been prearranged. In our travels for the next few weeks we did not meet any of our friends. One day, when we were in one of Germany’s famous labora- tories, in a secluded part we found Clyde Park, performing an im- portant experiment. He was able to leave his work for a few minutes that he might speak to us. Our tour through Russia was very brief, and we visited only a few cities. In one of these we met Charles Fullerton. He explained that he was there doing electrical work. Since eletricity had been put to many uses, and since Charles was an experienced electrician, he was very busy. After much travelling we found ourselves in China. Being much interested in American schools and hospitals, we spent much time visit- ing them. In a hospital Laura Kidd was nursing. She possessed rare skill and patience so the doctor told us. An orphange was near by and Bertha Dean was in charge. She was Suited to her work and was enjoying it too. Our trip was almost over and as we returned to our country we thought, “Had not Dame Fortune smiled brightly upon the class of 1923!” BOCILEE.

Sounds like school time. Doesn’t it? Well that’s what it was Especially for the Freshman of that vear. There were over sixty of them; so many that another room-had to be adjusted for their accommodation. To the Juniors and to the Seniors, but chiefly to the Sophomores, we were “green Freshies” for the first week or two: but our upper classmen soon decided they could not apply this term with justice, to the Freshmen of that year. The Freshmen immediately settled down to work very earnestly and had soon mastered the awkwardness of the first few weeks of high school life. We realized that a company not organized lacked co-operation and consequently a class meeting was called for that purpose. Louis Dankymere was chosen president, Edwin. Anderson vice president and Lillie Weinstein secretary and treasurer.. We chose green and white for our class colors and selected the white rose for our flower. After this a series of social events followed through out the term at which everyone present had an enjoyable time. The Freshman were considered necessary to Mars High School. They proved a valuable aid to the literary programs and great help to atletic affairs. The Angel of Death visited our class and claimed from our midst our beloved classmate, Blaine Ross. Many of our classmates fell victims to the influenza On this account our school had an interruption of a month. When we returned we were eager to resume our Studies. Mid-term examinations came and went and Finals were drawing near. Then Finals were over. The Freshman had had a successful year. We closed our Freshman term with a memorable picnic at West View. Once again we entered the portals of dear old Mars High School. Now we are rewarded for last year’s work by becoming Sophomores. We found many of our former classmates had not returned to continue the course at Mars High. Jur work was soon started for the ensuing term, but was in- terrupted by a scarlet fever epidemic. Thus, again we were delayed for a month When we returned we worked doubly hard to makeup for lost time. Our president moved ‘away and another organizing class meeting was called. Edwin Anderson was chosen president, Katherine Jones 43 os t i si Sa ee $ THE PLANET ee vice president, and Curtiss Morrow secretary and treasurer. We then decided on blue and steel as our class colors and agreed to buy a pennant. Our social functions continued through out our Sophomore year. Mid-term examinations were soon over and it was easily observed that the Sophomores had had success. Once again our class was visited by the Angel of Death. This time our beloved classmate Bertha Kidd was called March 11, 1921. Putting all our misfortunes aside we had a memorable Sophomore year of which we can look back upon with pride. The third year came and found us Juniors—real wide awake Juniors. We found the term going fast and soon Mid term examinations were a thing of the past. Wie ordered our rings and in March displayed them to our envious lower classmates. . | Thus far the class of ’24 has been successful and for the future we can but strive for success. RUTH HUNTER, 24 44 bd THE PLANET % Here and There 3 J e) 3 aa i =a: i SS ae Covet Martiaj, THE PLA N Ee History of Class of 1925 Our class entered the Mars High Scho ol on the fifth day of September 1921. The membership was unusally large for our school and the High School building was crowded to its fullest capacity. Before many days had elapsed, the higher classes had an initiation, especially for our benefit. We, of course attended, not without a little hesitation, for many horrible tales concerning their abuses and cruelties had been told us. Atter this epoch making event had taken place, we launched our frail little craft in earnest upon the first year of High School life. Everything went well until October when the dreaded disease known as ‘Scarlet Fever,’ entered our community. Unfortunately many of the High School students contracted the disease. School was closed for a month, but we finally returned to our studies after the most serious cases had recovered and the quarantine had been lifted. Christmas, to our great disappointment, was a very short vacation. We were limited to one week. The day after Christmas, school opened, preparations for the mid-term examinations kept the majority of us busy all day and part of the mghts. The ordeal was finally gone through and the second semester loomed. up before us. We all hoped for the best, but could do no more. Many a stormy week passed and finally spring, with all its beauty was again disclosed to our view. And soon the wings of time carried to the conclusion of our first year. Our boats, we could say, were Safely and securely anchored, awaiting for another sailing. The Sophomore year opened, and we as SOPHOMORES, began a new routine of school work. Two of our former teachers having left for some other institutions of learning, two new teachers filled the ranks of the faculty. Along with the incidents which took place in the history of the class, a little group of people banded together for the purpose of entertaining the High School and patrons who took a n interest in High School affairs. In this little body, known as the orchestra, the Sophomores were noticeably in the majority and contributed their untiring efforts toward making 1t a success. After the Sophomore year had closed, we could honestly say, that all had pushed forward with stout hearts to the goal which we all de- sired to reach, that goal being—success.

On a bright sunny morning September fourth, a happy band of Freshmen, sixty strong, entered the portals of Mars High School, eager to start our High School career. As far as quanity and quality, the two characteristics necessary for a famous class, the class of 1926 has it. Several of our members made names for themselves in athletics this year, and intend to continue their good work during their High School career. Like all other classes we met the first of the year and elected: William Mehaffey President George Pyle Vice-President PIGleIies alnS e810 6. shee. ee ee Secretary VelinayaVicGandless, ..... ....; 2. Treasurer At this meeting we also selected our class colors, Green andWhite. The Freshman class has held several socials this year, which were a great success. No one has ever been disappointed who attended our socials. Several members of our class have dropped out, but did so because they were not able to keep up with those still remaining in the race. We are sorry to think that our Freshman year is so near at an end, but we always will have pleasant memories of it. We wish to assure you that in future years you will hear more of the accomplishments of the class of 1926. VELMA McCANDLESS ’26 wv THE PLANET XX AN SAU J 49 THE PLANET At the beginning of the second month of school the student body was divided into two Literary groups. One group chose the name of Alpha and elected Dale Conley president and Jeannette Averill secretary. The other group took the name Beta and elected Douglas de Coux president and Katherine Jones secretary. Alternately every three weeks, on Friday afternoons, these two societies have rendered programmes, the majority of which have been attended by townspeople who are interested 1n our school activities. The first program given by the Beta Society is given below: Orchestra Katherine Jones ReADING—‘‘Old Favorite Song” Riley Phyllis Connell QUARTETTE— Paul Galer, Merle McCandless, Staysa Norton, Curtiss Morrow TATTLER Clarence Mattern PIANO SoLo—‘The Butterfly” Elwina Bennett VocaL Soto—‘!

These proved to be very helpful, not only to the ones taking part but also to the High School as a whole. One which we considered to be especially helpful and containing some good advice we have published below. ADAPTABILITY So many of the problems that arise every day, it seems to me, come from the lack of adaptability. Take for instance a man who has been rich but lost his money, or a girl who has always been poor but has married into a rich and formal family both are unhappy because they cannot or will not fit themselves into the circumstances into which they are placed. Or take a boy who is starting into a strange school, be- cause he does not make friends readily, because he will not adapt him- self to the ways and customs of the school, he is unhappy and asks why it is that no one likes him o r makes friends with him. These problems could easily be solved or probably would have never arisen if these people had had adaptability, if they had known how to bend themselves to changing circumstances and had not remained rigid. That is the fault and mistake of so many lives, their rigidity. They are not flexible, fluent or adaptable. I once knew a man who had been a cripple for many years. He had a strong character and a charming personality. He had never had much of an education but he had developed strength, dignity and peace of mind because he had learned to adapt himself to the circum- Stances into which he was placed. Such magnificent adaptability as this makes our troubles seem small and trifling. While we sat lamenting and complaining, strong spirits adapt themselves and create out of the conditions we call un- happy and hopeless, things beautiful and things to be remembered. Practically every great and noble life has been a life of magnificent adaptation. Take the lives of our great men and of our great women and study their early years. How few of these people seem suited in their childhood to their later fate. But study further their life history and 51 ¢ THE PLANET you will find that they all all loved life and were constantly adapting themselves day by day to the demands which life made upon them, and the opportunities it offered to them. Adaptability is a thing that cannot be attained at once. It is a . thing that grows and developes with tending, and the seed of adaptability is sympathy. The person, who is constantly developing sympathy and understanding, is day by day becoming more adaptable. The great men of the world, those who have most adapted themselves to the world’s needs and opportunities, are in nine cases out of ten, “Great Hearts” as well. The adaptable person is the one who is ready and eager to see the rights of other people, willing to yield a point graciously, eager to adapt themselves to the moments needs, if they can honorably do so. To the adaptable person, life offers all her manifold riches and to them a door never closes but that another door does not open. Under our feet each day is gold and treasures, but because our hearts are not sufficiently willing, loving and attentive, we do not hear these things calling to us, but hear only the voices of our own opinions, our own narrow mindedness, our own discontent, and the day goes by dull and profitless. The gracious and graceful life, like the gracious and graceful body, is flexible. Begin today to be generous, gracious, and yielding in small matters, so when the need for a greater adaption comes you will be ready to meet it. Then life will cease to be a series of difficulties, and full of disappointments, and will become a life of extraordinary opportunities. Ms Velbama: During the past year Chapel was made very interesting by the addition of a short program, which was given every Thursday morning. Two members from each class were chosen for the program com- mittee. The programs were arranged so that the numbers were appropri- ate to any holiday that was approaching. Thus, on Lincoln’s birthday, a special program was arranged consisting of the reading of the poem, “O Captain! My Captain!” and a biography of Lincoln. On Washington’s birthday an interesting debate was held: “Re- solved, that Washington was a greater man than Lincoln.” The affirma- tive was upheld by William Mehaffey and the negative by Edwin Anderson. Gertrude Black and Helen Roberts gave an enjoyable vocal duet. Other programs given during the year contained vocal numbers, readings, piano and violin and also saxophone solos. These programs, although they were not long, made Chapel in- teresting and brought out much unknown talent. 52 THE PLANE TY (it BBC RICAL EXPOSITION The electrical exposition was held at Motor Square Garden, Pitts- burgh, Pa., November fourth to the eleventh inclusive. It was held under the direction of the Electrical League of Pittsburgh. The exposition was primarily an educational one, with the desire to show what wonderful things the giant—‘‘Electricity’’—is capable of doing. A group of exhibits were shown which covered practically every field of electricity, such as: home appliances; industrial appartus:; store and office equipment; and public service utilities. There was something to interest every one, no matter what their occupation or vocation might be: The exposition was held in what might be called an electrical city, because, as early as 1878 electric lights had been installed in buildings in Pittsburgh. The first home in Pittsburgh that had electric lights was the home of George Westinghouse—the man who first introduced the alternating current into America. The first river steamer equipped with electric lights was built by Pittsburghers in 1882. The first radiphone broadcasting station was established in Pittsburgh in 1920. Two large central station companies are located in Pittsburgh. These companies operate twenty three power generating stations of 355,000 Kilowatts and serving 547 municipalities in an area of about nine thousand square miles and a population of about two and a half million. The 22,500 street lights in Pittsburgh and immediate vicinity ate enough to illuminate the Lincoln highway from Pittsburgh to New York City, and with an almost inexhaustible coal supply, Pittsburgh is prepared for years to come to produce enormous amounts of electrical enerey. At the exposition there were one hundred and twenty companies represented by one hundred and sixty eight booths. In the center of the main floor there was an electrical foutain. It was the largest indoor electrical spectacle ever constructed. The basin, elliptical in shape, was forty by twenty, five feet. The center jet rose fifty feet, and from the edge of the basin one hundred and four sprays met the center jet. Suspended above this from the dome of the building was a gigantic circular crystalier composed of twenty thousands large Noyagem jewels of many colors and great brilliancy. The crystalier was thirty-two feet high with a diameter of twenty feet at the base and eight feet at the top which was forty six feet above the floor. This gigantic cryStalier and fountain were illuminated by twenty direct current electric arc searchlights each eighteen inches in diameter, They were placed in front of them thus changing the appearance of the crystalier. The rays of light seemed to dance from the jewels as though from diamonds. It was a wonderful example of electrical decoration. Around the fountain were two circles of booths and other booths in rows along the walls. On the basement floor the booths were in rows along the walls and four rows in the center. 53 ¢ DH ee PANG + Some of the exhibitors were: The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co., The Western Electric Co., Western Union Telegraph Co., Duquesne Light Co., West Penn Power Co., Carnegie Institute of Technology, University of Pittsburgh, and the General Electric Co. The largest and the smallest electric bulbs in the world were ex- hibited by the General Electric Co. The smallest one is about an eighth of an inch in diameter and about five eights of an inch long including the base. It takes .3 ampere at 1.5 volts or less than one half watt. It is used on surgical instruments for examination of organs inside the human body. The large bulb is nearly a foot in diameter and stands eighteen inches high. The light produced by it is so bright that photo- graphs can be taken at night. So much heat is generated by it that it can only be lighted for fifteen minutes at a time. While it is lighted two electric fans are turned on it. It requires thirty thousand watts of electricity to light it, or thirty kilowatts which is equal to about forty horsepower. When the full current is turned on it emits one hundred thousand candlepower of light which is about three thousand five hundred times as powerful as an ordinary house lamp for room lighting. The electricity required by the large lamp is about sixty five thousands times that required by the smallest one. On the roof of the building a thirty inch search light was mounted whose beams played on the sky at night. These beams could be seen by persons within a radius of fifty to seventy five miles. On Tuesday night, November seventh, the first radio wedding ever attempted was carried out at the electrical exposition. The minister and the couple to be married were inclosed in a sound proof glass booth where they could be seen by the people at the exposition but could not be heard. As the ceremony was read it was picked up by microphones connected to a telephone line and carried to the broad-casting station K. D. K. A.,, where it was sent out by radiophone. It was then picked up by radio receiving sets at the exposition and could be heard all through the building by means of loud speakers. The ceremony was not only heard by about ten thousand people at the exposition but by probably two hundred thousand radio listeners within a radius of several thousand miles from Pittsburgh. Some of the electrical appartus used 1n the industries are; electrical hoists and cranes, drills, engines, automatic electric welders, motors and generators of all kinds, drilling machines for drilling water or oil wells, electric automobiles and trucks, electric fans, ventilating systems, elevators, switches and meters of all kinds. Two booths representing the University of Pittsburgh and Carnegie Institute of Technology exhibited examples of electrical work and in- struments made by the students. Near the entrance the Pittsburgh Railway Co., had a booth in which were shown examples of their advancement and improvement in ap- paratus and cars used. By motion pictures they showed how their work was carried on and gave examples of safety first. 54 ¢ THE PLANET ¢ In one booth the Western Union Telegraph Co., showed the most up to date and improved methods used by. them such as, automatic senders and receivers. At the sending end there was a machine which resembled and was operated in the same manner as the modern type- writer. At the receiving end there was a similar machine which typed the message on a sheet of paper. They also had the ticker machines by which baseball scores and stock and market reports are automatically typed on a narrow strip of paper. Music and speakers were received on radio receiving sets and could be heard through the building by means of loudspeaking Magnavoxes when used with two or three steps of amplification. At one booth the effects of different colored lights and shades of light on sculptural work and colored paintings were shown. At another booth there were violet rays outfits X-ray machines and other electrical apparatus used in medical work. There were electric washing machines, stoves, heaters, toasters, ironers, dishwashers, irons, sweepers, phonographs, towels and many other appliances for the home. There were also radio supplies and radio sets of all kinds. This electrical exposition was very appropriate in showing what is being done on this subject, and what the possibilities are along this line. This is fast becoming an electrical age. CLYDE PAR Ke 2 MEG’S. VICTORY Elmsworth was a beautiful little village hiding peacefully away among the hills. It’s calmness and repose was seldom disturbed, to be exact only twice in three vears. This calm repose was first broken by the death of Mrs. Loring, 4 much esteemed woman of the village. People generously aided and Sympathized with the desolate husband and grief-stricken children of which there were three. In a year or so, grief on all sides having abated, peace again settled over Elmsworth. But again it was disturbed and this time the cause created not a little gossip and also some indignation. Thomas Loring had married again, not a woman from the village, but an old classmate from L———. a The villagers bustled about among themselves, some explaining, others deploring and some even predicting. Employing themselves thus for a week or so they turned inquiring eyes toward the Loring home. The Social Busy Bee, a ladies organization, decided to call and found the new Mrs. Loring a very charming woman. They had even asked her to the next meeting. She must have made a very great im- pression indeed, for everyone knew the Busy Bee's to be a very select organization. Why, wasn’t oe ee wife president and hadn’t ¢ THE PLANET ¢ she exchanged a few words with a real live Duchess. Oh dear yes, the Club was certainly select. 3 Soon everyone in the village entertained the same opinion of Mrs. OU as did the Busy Bees. Her frank countenance and soft modu- lated voice had endeared her to many. Fourteen-year-old Nell and her small brother Tommy although a little shy at first, grew to love her dearly. She, grateful for their affection, returned it in full. But Meg, beautiful, haughty, wilful. Meg could find no room in her sore heart for a new mother. She was courteous to her, painfully polite, but never by any chance did she call her ‘Mother’ as Tommy and Nell did. No timid or pleading advances of her step-mother could win ‘her heart. Her place of refuge when it seemed that her heart must burst, was a large and airy chamber in which she had placed her mother’s posses- sions. They were few in number, not half filling the large room, but dear to Meg because of their associations. One day on returning from the post-office, she lingered longer than usual drinking in like a true child of nature, the beauty before her. And a gorgeous picture it was. Meadows gently sloping where drowsy cows were standing under wide- -spreading trees or browsing listlessly the fragrant grass. At a distance, wooded heights cast their sombre reflections, while birds sang and insects hummed. Overhead the sun blazed, shedding brilliance and warmth over all. Peace seemed to enter her heart and by the time she reached home she was almost happy. Nearing the house she observed that both the windows of the sacred chamber were open and there seemed to be a process of cleaning going on. Her anger rose to the surface at once lending wings to her feet. Swiftly she sped through the hallway and up the steps pausing in front of the room. Yes, her surmise had been correct. Mrs. Loring and Tilly, the second serving maid were cleaning the room. The cham- ber was empty of all her mother’s belongings. Catching her breath sharply she managed to gasp out angrily, ignoring her step-mother’s smile of welcome, ‘‘P1 ray, what does this mean © “What does what mean, Meg, dear?” replied Mrs. Loring evidently somewhat puzzled. : “What do | meanr” cried Meg stamping her foot angrily. “How can you stand there with that innocent air when you know that this is my only sanctuary from an undesirable presence? Mrs. Loring flushed at the insult but replied calmly, “I knew nothing about this being your sanctuary, Margaret, and I am sorry of I am compelled to disturb it, but | must. You know I received letter from my brother, my youngest brother, Meg,” she said in ex- plaining. “Not many years older than you. About six years of difference I might say. You are eighteen, are you not?”. She re- ceived no answer and so continued. “You should get along well together. Well, as | was saying, this chamber has to be used as it is 56 2 So ee $ THE PLANET + ee the only empty room presentable for a guest. And that guest is to be my brother, who is going to pay us a short visit. Your father is delighted because he is fond of Laurie. And, dear Margaret, I want you to like him, too, for he is good and kind.” But Margaret, unable to bear any more, had turned and fled. The day rolled around when Laurie Keating, Mrs. Loring’s brother, was expected to arrive. The guest room was resplendent in white dimity coverings and window curtains. glistening mahogany and fresh blooming flowers which Tommy, to please his step-mother had gathered. She had thanked him warmly with a kiss. The sight of it caused Meg to wither. “I will drive to the station myself,” declared Mrs. Loring, “though it is a good mile off. Laurie and I can have a nice chat while driv- ing home.” These remarks were addressed to disdainful Meg, who never allowed a mention of the expected guest to pass her lips. She was still resentful over her sanctuary. The blame of which was shared as equally by the expected guest as Mrs. Loring herself. Mrs. Loring accompanied by Nell and Tommy climbed into the old carryall and drove briskly off Being alone Meg was inclined to grow hysterical but, like a bolt from the blue, a wild plan occurred to her, fostered by the little demons of hatred. Her father was not there and could not interfere. Without wasting a moment on further thought, Meg sped into the newly arranged room and commenced to unfurbished it. Down came curtains and coverings. The counter- pane and pillows were whisked off the bed. Steadily she worked carry- ing out all the lighter articles of furniture. Nance, the cook had gone into the village for some almost for- gotten item of the meal, while Tilly was over at a neighbor telling about the expected guest. Meg was all alone and considered it better so until the question of how to move the heavier articles of furniture revealed itself. She was wondering how to move them when a voice was heard calling, “Hello, hello, | say, is any one here?” Running lightly down the stairs Meg encountered a young man standing on the veranda, cap in hand. “I say,” he began and then stopped, staring at Meg with open and respectful admiration. Meg, unconscious of her flushed cheeks and sparkling eyes, gazed frankly at the young man. Remembering that it was rude to stare he again took up his explanation. “T’m lost you know, that is, | am a stranger and have rather mixed my directions, that were kindly proffered by the villagers and now | am more ‘hopelessly confused than ever. Would you be so kind as to direct me to——” But he proceeded no further, for Meg whose mind was soley on dismantling the room before their guest arrived, saw in this young man a means to an end. Bursting out impulsively she cried, “I will tell you all you wish to know if you will but assist me to carry some heavy pieces of furniture from a room prepared for an imposter, an interloper, or anything you wish to call him.” Before she was aware 57 ¢ THE PLANET ¢ of it she had poured out the entire story to the strange young man. “Certainly, I will ‘help assist you,” answered the young man at the end of the narrative. “Let us proceed to work. We will out with the villian yet.” Meg was so bent on what she was doing that she did not perceive that a rather mocking note had crept into his voice but immediately started up stairs. Setting down his valise which Meg had completely overlooked, he followed her. After that affairs pro- gressed smoothly. He helped her carry down her mother’s things which had been stored neatly in the attic, and place them back in their former positions. “There,” cried Meg triumphantly turning to the young man whom she observed for the first time was handsome as well as obliging. “That’s accomplished and all due to your aid. But you look hot and tired,” and laughlingly, “I feel very hot and tired also, so let us go down and have some tea.’ The young stranger gave her a curious . glance, nodded assent but said nothing. Tea, buttered toast with marmalade and small cakes having been consumed he made ready to depart. Meg, true to her promise, stood ready to direct him, when she espied the carryall with its occupants returning. She couldn’t dis- cern any other figure at that distance but Mrs. Lomng’s brother who of course was seated in the back. Her heart beat triumphantly and yet a little fearfully for she knew that the deed she had done wasn’t a thing of which one could be proud of. But the little demons kept on whispering. Mrs. Loring’s face, as she mounted the veranda steps, wore a dissapointed expression, and Meg was astonished at seeing no stranger among them. What could have delayed him? Mrs. Loring, prepara- tory ‘to speaking turned her eyes toward Meg and at the same instant caught sight of the stranger. Her face took on a surprised, pleased expression and she exclaimed with genuine pleasure, “Why Laurie, when did you get herer How long has it been since you arrived? But it doesn’t matter. I am so glad you came. Nell and Tom, this is Laurie.” The children came shyly forward to greet him. He stooped and tossed Tommy into the air and gravely shook hands with Nell which made her feel quite grown up. He was immediately in their good graces. “I suppose,” continued Mrs. Loring, “that you and Meg are already acquainted,’ and she glanced brightly from Meg to Laurie. “Yes, quite,’ commented Laurie dryly, “very much acquainted in fact.” “Well then, now that you are acquainted | know that you will be friends. But you, dear boy, must be starving and tired to death.” “Meg,” observing Laurie’s valise, “why did you not show him to his roomr” Before Meg could answer Laurie intervened. “Miss Margaret has been very kind to me. She prepared a luncheon and was even kind enough to partake of it with me. And as for showing me to my room, that was the first thing she did.’”’ He could not keep the mocking note from his voice. His sister eyed 58 £ THE PLANET ¢ him sharply and turning, disappeared hurriedly into the house. A few minutes was all that she needed ‘to convince her of the catastrophe. Now, thoroughly angry, she returned to the piazza to rebuke Meg. But Meg’s attention was leveled on Laurie. Her face was pale with wrath, her dark eyes glowed, she drew herself up like an aveng- ing goddess and ignoring her irrate parent’s just tirade she said in a low, passionate voice, “I hate you, Laurie Keating, | hate you.” Not a muscle of his face moved, he gazed directly at her, then a whimsical smile touched his lips. He looked tolerantly at her as though she were a rebellious child. Tears unbidden welled up into her eyes and she turned and fled. Laurie had been a visitor at the Loring cottage for a week. He occupied a smaller room than ‘that formerly prepared for him but refused to sleep in any other. He alone knew that this was out of his feelings for Meg. Whatever was sacred to her was doubly so to him for her sake. Meg was compelled to meet him at meals and had prepared to act coldly polite for her father’s sake. And yes for her step-mother’s too, though why she could not tell. But her elaborately arranged coolness was surpassed by hhis brief greetings. She would hardly see him all day as he took long walks with Tommy, talked with Mr. Loring or read; but he never seemed to give her the slightest thought. At first she thought that she didn’t care, and might have kept on thinking so if Laurie had not been suddenly summoned back to the city on business. Bidding them all an affectionate farewell except herself, to whom he had coldly expressed his regrets at leaving and thanked her formally for his pleasant stay. Stating also that he knew his presence had ‘been a source of annoyance to her. “Why,” she flared up, “do you think that?” She could have bitten her tongue out after she had spoken. What would he think now, that she wanted him to stay. Quickly she amended her statement. “I have no thought of you at all.” He bowed ironically and departed, a very disappointed man. As for Meg, she wept silently till her step-mother carefully tip-toed into the room carrying a tray covered daintily by a white cloth. Meg sat up saying that she had a headache. Mrs. Loring moved timidly towards her and stroked her soft hair gently. “You must rest more, Meg dear, you are beginning to look ill.” ; or Meg glanced up at ber step-mother and with child-like gravity said, “Thank you mother for the tea, and | will take your advice.” In a moment she was clasped tightly in her step-mother’s arms. The pact of friendship was sealed. ake Elmsworth may well boast of its exotic nights. This night, the third night since Laurie’s departure seemed fated to outdo them all. Lady Moon in her silvery garments floated across a cloudless sky. Low sighing winds, heavy ladened with the perfume of many flowers, softly 59 ¢ THE PLANET ¢ stirred the white ribbons on the fluffy frock of Meg. Bathed in the radiance of the moonlight she resembled a fairy. But she was sad to-night. She yet saw that whimsical smile, heard that mocking voice. Oh, if she could but only forget. Lean- ing against an old ivy-covered stone wall, she bowed her head to weep. “Meg, have you forgiven me yet?” breathed a voice thrillingly low at her ear. Turning increduously she beheld Laurie. She continued to stare mutely. G ladness and the singing in her heart prevented articulation. “Meg,” his voice was pleading now, “speak to me, Meg.”. Still she could s say nothing. “Meg, Meg, I love you, | love you.’ And then the moon put forth all her radiance. Meg awoke from her stupor. The moon smiled down upon them, listening again to that old, old story, which is forever new. Peace and repose now reign once mor e over Elmsworth. JESSIE HARRIS “23.

Success depends upon the attitude of all participants, and the past year has been both successful and encouraging. Our ability and training was not secured by our attitude alone, but was produced by weekly rehearsals, directed by Miss Keiser. Both the orchestra and Miss Keiser deserve much credit. This advantage was given only to the members of the orchestra as it is not-in the curriculum; but it has been a source of enjoyment to many people. In connection with the enjoyment, may the students and patrons of the school never cease to boost the success of the M. H. S. orchestra more and more each year.

The following plan hit upon, to have a Uke Club, so it was agreed that all those having ukes be present at the home of Miss Alice Harbison on Monday evening of the following week. At eight o’clock a number of seniors were to be seen entering the front door of Miss Harbison’s home. After the members, who had never played before, had been taught a few of the simpler chords by the more experienced members present, a lively bit of music was soon heard by the passers by. At first our time was devoted to the simpler pieces of music but advanced gradually at each following meeting. These meetings we had decided to hold every Monday evening at the homes of our different members. After several meetings had been held we decided to organize into a club at the following meeting which was to be held at the home of Miss Esther Marburger the following Monday evening. There were present the Misses Esther Marburger, Evelyn Archer, Alice Harbison, Myring Proffitt, Hazel Dunhaver, Phyllis Connel, Elwina Bennett, and Irene Hooks. Miss Phyllis Connell called the meeting to order and we proceeded to elect our officers, Miss Elwina Bennett being elected President, Miss Irene Hooks Secretary, and Miss Evelyn Archer Treasurer. For our colors we adopted Blue and Gold, the colors which we have honored for four years, and for a club name, The Uke Club. After all business had been acted on, the meeting ended by a social hour and a delight- ful lunch was served by our host tess Among the selections played © our club is religious, humorous, and ragtime. Members of the club have played in the Literaries and in Chapel Programs.

DUXTOON ss: =a om NW NY This year we started our football practice under a new Coach. Mr. Fred Loeffler, from Geneva College. His reputation gave us much encouragement, and with eleven letter-men of the previous season we determined to hit the line hard. Under Loeffler’s new methods and surveillance we accomplished it, even though the first game which was with Butler High was a defeat—the only defeat. NARSe TACKLES BUTLER HIGH - This was the first game of the season. Both teams were confident of victory, but owing to the premature season and the new methods of coaching Mars suffered a defeat—a defeat which was almost a victory. Mars carried the ball to the one yard line several times but was unable to carry it across. James Ellis and Randall Williams featured in this game.

The trip was enjoyed by all. Mars was victorious from the first but our victory was saddened by the injury of “Tony” the fighting demon, and of “Abe” Lester McDonald. The game was fought hard from the first. Every player on the Mars team was out to redeem them- selves after the way Butler hand handled them.

Mars went in to this game with nothing in mind but a determination to win and in less than SIX minutes were on the road to victory.

Williams 2, The climax of the season was reached in the Evans City game. Regardless of the number of games won or lost, success or failure, for the season depended in a large measure on the outcome of this game. Three victories out of four starts, one of which was a’ decisive triumph over the Etna High squad to whom Evans City had fallen one week be- fore, brought interest to a high pitch among the students and towns people. Ihe Evans City game was the topic of conversation everywhere. As the time for the game wore around the team was being handled carefully by Coach Loeffler. In spite of this the team lost the services of their regular fulback Slim Ellis due to an injury in! practice. How- ever with the exception of a few sprains the rest of the squad was in great shape when the day of the game arrived. As soon as the boys took the field they started with a rush that showed plenty of fight and determination. Preliminaries all arranged, the ball was kicked off to Evans City territory. Here on an off tackle play H. Williams carrying the ball netted thirty yards and on the following play which was through the line carried it over for a touchdown. The try for point missed. Another touchdown was added in the second quarter when Buxton intercepted a forward pass and scored after a forty yard run. This made the score 12-0 in favor of Mars as the half ended. In the third quarter neither team scored, but in the fourth quarter Evans City was allowed a touchdown on a questionable decision which delayed the game for sometime. In the closing moments of play three points more were added to our score when H. Williams kicked a drop kick from ee TIES PLAN Eel the thirty vard line.

The day was cold but the team was pepped up to victory. Both teams were evenly matched and kept the ball “see sawing” twice in our last two marches down the field. Many of the Ellwood fans giving up hopes of victory started to leave the field before the game ended. Our boys did wonderful work, our line and backfield played with such co-operation that they could not be stopped. The final score was 12—o in favor of Mars.

With an enormous crowd against us and an unjust referee, our chances for victory were very slim. The Parkerites shot just about twice as many fouls as we. Although we had to take a beating, the after effects were not sufficient to mar our spirits. On our return journey we took pos- session of their hotel and stayed over night. After a hilarious time, mingled with defeat we were homeward bound. Those that did not take advantage of sleep at the hotel were followed by Morpheus on the train.

THE PLANET Alumni Notes Heretofore the Alumni Notes have been a tabulation of the grad- uates, their present occupations, and addresses. It has been suggested that this form be abandoned. A short history of the organization of the High School has been compiled and a general outline of the activities of the Alumni Association. An attempt to organize a High School was made in 1904 by Prof. Dambart. .A three year course was planned and the first year’s work completed. The next year the work was discontinued. In 1906 the work was again taken up by Prof. J. B. Storey, Miss Mathiott and Miss Graham being assistant teachers. This corps of teachers re- mained until 1ro10, when Prof. Hogg became Supervising Pricipal; C. R. Baldwin was elected Principal but resigned and Prof. Arthur Hogg was elected to take his place. During the year Mr. Hogg became ili and Prof. G. W. Brown was elected to take his position until such a time as Mr. Hogg could return . In 1909 Floyd Zeigler eraduated. He was the first graduate and only member of his class to complete the work at that time. For the years 1911-1912 D. O. Hopkins was elected Principal, Prof. Brown having resigned. Miss Carrie Mathiott was elected assistant. Miss Mathiott resigned in November and Miss Agnes Sligh accepted election to fill the vacancy. Miss Sligh remained as Assistant Principal for the vears 1912-1913, Henry B. Keister having been elected Principal. In Mav 1913 the Board of Education lengthened the High School course making it a four year one. Another teacher, Mr. George Keister, was added to the Facultv for the next year (191 3-1914.) The classes had been increasing in numbers up to this time but in 1013-1914 Roy Hazlet was the only graduate. From that time on the classes have been growing larger. Prof. A. H. Forman was elected Principal for the 1914-1915 term. He remained Principal until 1920. During the first year J. T. Connell was Assistant and C. A. Conley assisted in teaching. The next year C. A. Conley became Assistant Principal and Miss Carrie Bolden was teaching. This vear there was quite a large class graduated. In 1916-1917 the faculty was changed, Mr. Conley leaving to accept the Principalship of Freedom High School. Miss Marie Roth filling the vacancy. The following year there was an addition to the faculty in person of Miss Forbes. In 1918-19 Miss Isobel Gass, Mr. Mark Wingard and Miss Muller made up the faculty. Then in 1919-20 there was another change in 87 ¢ THE PLANET ¢ Ss the faculty. Miss Gass, Miss Hasson, and Miss Bowman assisted in teaching this year. : In the year 1920-21 Mr. C. A. Conley accepted the principalship and the teachers were C. A. Maffeo, Miss Lillie Cupp and Miss E..A. Flasson. The following year Miss Hasson. left the school to accept a position as writing instructor in the Oakmont Schools. Miss Rudolph, and Mr. Croup were added to the faculty (1921-22.) In 1922-23 Mr, Loeffler of Geneva College was made athletics coach and teacher of science. Miss Marjorie Davidson became the teacher of Mathematics, Miss Rudolph leaving us. The Alumni Association was organized during the fall of 1912 Floyd Zeigler being elected President. The Association was very active, holding annual banquets. Recently interest has been lacking but it is hoped that it will soon be aroused and that the Association will con- tinue with much of the old zest. Charles Williams is now President and Mrs Clarence Henerv is secretary and treasurer. ALICE HARBISON PHYLLIS CONNELL ok oe ae % i ; % % % PFEACHERS THEN, NOW, AND A MORAL. My father says his teacher used to be A great big man with whiskers fierce to see.

Then he would take whatever came to hand And wallop them until they couldn't stand, My teachers are always very nice to me: They act so nice and speak so prettily; They say, “Yes if you please, and “No thank you,” And sweetly smile, no matter what you do.

Summer School Approved by the State Department of Education SUMMER SCHOOL OPENS JUNE 18th a OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT Consumers of natural gas may be divided into three groups:: (1) Those who use gas properly and efficiently (2) Those who waste gas, but are able to get the results, and (3) Those who waste gas and do not get satisfactory service. OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT congratulates those of group 1, if there be any such; desires to assist those in group 2 to get proper service with smaller bills; and is especially anxious to remedy the 9 inadequate service of those in group 3. None of our consumers should be classified in group 3 and it is the aim of OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT to accomplish this result. Furthermore, OUR SERVICE DEPARTMENT looks forward to a shifting of consumers from group 2 to group 1, as the realization of the importance of the efficient use of gas is more widely felt. If any consumer feels that his service is in any way unsatis- factory, he is urged to bring his troubles to OUR SERVICE DE- PARTMENT where they will receive prompt and courteous attention.
