EDUCATION l eleven I ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1929 BOARD OF EDUCATION Mr. Price is our town's celebrated musician. CLAUDE L. PRICE Vice-President GEORGE H. BEATTY President Mr. Beatty was born and reared in Miners- ville. He is a machinist for the Reading Coal and Iron Company. Mr. Beatty has earned a reputation as a good joker especially at School Board meetings. Mr. Beatty is always thinking of the wel- fare of the schools. His Iirst question at School Board meetings is usually, What is the best thing for the schools? Coming from a family of musfcians, it is natural to expect such ability in him, He re- ceived his high school education in Minersville and graduated from the New England Conser- vatory of Music. A lover of music, an expert tuner of pianos, a man of ability--he is a worthy member of the Board. I twelve J MOSES MORGAN Secretary Mr. Morgan is the t0wn's well-known insur- ance agent. Mr. Morg'an's attitude towards :chool affairs can be characterized as the ad- Jocate of a square deal. He shows no preju- .lice and wishes everyone else to do the same. Work does not daunt the efforts of this en- ergetic man, for 'he is always ready to give a. helping hand where it is necessary. EUSINIA MINERSVILLE, 1929 BOARD OF EDUCATION WILLIAM E. ZAPF Treasurer We turn to our expert on finance-Mr. Zapf -when we are in pecuniary rlifllculties. He has been treasurer of the School District for many years and is always ready, prompt, and accurate with all his reports. Mr. Zapf has worked for the Pine Hill Coal Company for a number of years. Min- ersville finds in him an efficient worker for our schools. WILLARD NELMS If ever you need any interior decorating done, Mr. Nelms is the man who can do it He is also a dependable member of the Schoo' Board. Mr. Nelms loves books and he is always willing to give others the benefit of the know- ledge he acquires from this source. Hunting and fishing are ti1iSl'llHl1,S hobbies. He can cast a fly or shoot as straight as any sports- man. JAMES D TOOLE Mr. Toole is a graduate of the Minersville High School and Lafayette College. He is the eflicient principal of Cass Township High School. In order that he might become better qualified as a principal, he has taken a sum- mer ccourse at Columbia University and will receive his A. M. degree. Mr. Toole ranks as a prominent public speaker in our town. At School Board meet' ings his speeches carry great influence. I thirteen J ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1929 BOARD OF EDUCATION HARRY LYONS Here is the manufacturer of the famous Silver King cigar which is such a boon to humanity. Mr. Lyons loves to debate. He does not care which side he is on just so long as he is debating. When a plan is proposed, Mr. Lyons debates it pro and con before an agreement is reach- ed. The School Board finds him a genial worker. HELEN KLINGER MILDRED KANDRAT CLERKS Our oflic-e ulerks ure- two vonscientious, efficient, dependable girls. There are few who would not trust them with the most important mission. They have little leisure time, simply because they will not allow it, but keep busy all the time. Upon entering the oflice we meet two breezy cheerful girls from Whom the Class of 19259 parts with many regrets.

If you are in doubt, ask Mr. Whiteg if there is something about which you want a little inform- ation, ask Mr. White. As a teacher of Biology Mr. White cannot be surpassed. His qualitica- tions as ia. high school principal are very prominent. Under his system- atic guidance we have accomplish-ed many great projects. To think that we are leaving such a man as our principal just fills us with emotions. We shall never forget you, Mr, White. I sixteen I LEUSIN MINERSVILLE, 1929 MARY E.

The Seniors we1'e sometimes just a little noisv and mischievous, but we hope Miss Glenwrifht will let bygones be bygones. We have pleasant memories of our four ycgirs with her and especially our last year when she served in the capacity of home room teacher. That was a trying job but Miss Glcnwright accomplished it efficiently. The Class of 1929 bids you a fond farewell, Miss Glcnwright. HAROLD H. bAYLOR Mathematics .Xnnvillc lliprh School-19.125 Lebanon Vzillcy Col- lcgc -1926. Positions: Annvillc High School, Cl sc- nicstcrlg Mincrsvillc High School, K3 yearsl. Mr. Saylor has been with us three years during which time we have all become his friends and supporters because of his faculty for making friends and knowing how to teach Math. His musical ability 'has been shown .mften in assembly which makes him indis- pensable to M. H. S. We unwillingly take leave of M1'. Saylor for we shall miss his sunny disposition very much. IRENE L. MITMAN Commercial Scllcrsvil? High School, l'a.,-19243 Taylor Busi- ness School. l'a..f19.Z5. Positions: Millersville High School, 15 yearsl. Efficient, apt, tactful, cheerful. and kind- all appropriate adjectives for our Commercial teacher! Wo entered class always greeted by he-r happy smile and it worked wonders. Miss Mitman has accomplished great things in the Commercial department, her hobby be- ing to turn out efficient typists. We wonder often at her great patience and perseverance -her two greatest assets. Good-bye, Miss Mitman, we appreciated your efforts, C I seventeen J EUS NIA MINERSVILLE, 1929 CARRIE E.

Oh, how she can and does speak French! If you doubt our word we suggest a trip to one of Miss Early's French classes. We have been fortunate in having her as our teacher for two years. Many of the intricacies of the French language have been clearly revealed to us through Miss Early's conscientious in- structions. Our Girls' Basketball Team has also had a share of Miss Early's labors among us. They were not in vain, Miss Early. MARION E.

As a willing and tireless worker, Miss Pounder gave us invaluable aid. She led us through books and magazines and corrected our mistakes. You said you enjoyed working with Seniors, lVIiss Pounderg we return the complimentw we enjoyed working with you. MARION R.

Miss Hopkins has always been ajolly good teacher imparting to us her knowledre in History and Economics. Sometimes a debate would ensue in the class room but Miss Hop- kins always emerged victorious-especially when the question for dcbnte was Stocks und Hoods. Miss Hopkins has always been a jolly good sport with the Senior Class and we sigh deep- ly upon departing from such a dear friend. I eighteen J FLORENCE R.

For two years we have rereived the chid- ings and the valuable advice ot a highly es- trremerl- teacher in the personage of Miss Ber- ney. Although slrr has never tauuht us as a 1-lass she. was always willing to help ns in our tlUl'iJiliS. She has prfzved herself to he a true conipunion of the Cluss of 1929.

Her individual disposition makes her quite attractive and gains for her many friends. She came to us from Virginia and the Class of 1929 would enjoy going there if they were certain they would meet many more like her. The only regret the Senior Class has is that the lower classes monopolized a great deal of her time. Although that has been the vase she has endeared herself to us. HELEN M.

Miss Herman has been with us a year and in that time has proved herself an excellent teacher and companion. The sunny and industrial atmosphere which reigned over Room 5 along with her pleasing and optimistic ways gave Miss Herman a warm place in the hearts of all her students. We all appreciated her considerate manner. . . ELIZABETH G. CAMPION English St.,losepl1's ll. S. Einmitshurg. Mrl.,fl9Z43 St. .loseplfs Vollcgc, Enimftshurg41928--B. A.

Although the Seniors are not listed as Miss Camp-ion's pupils, many have found it profit- able to have her advice and opinion on every- day school problems. Her quiet and bene- iicent manner and her pleasing tempera- ment have earned for her the respect and friendship of the Class of 1929. We hope, Miss Campion, that you will continue your journeys to and fro and that you will be as dear a friend to others as you are to us.

With our entrance into the class of Sen- iors there returned to us one of our former graduates-Miss Jenkins. Miss Jenkins has given us her services and aid as only a M. H. S. graduate can give them. Miss Jenkinsfs success with the Freshmen cannot be left unnoticed. She is indeed one teac'her who can handle Freshmen. We are sorry to leave you, Miss Jenkins!

We need not dis-cuss his coaching ability if we but look at the large numiber of victories to which our team have become heirs. We feel a deep regret in leaving Mr. Elber- ti and we take this opportunity to extend our best wishes to him for his success in the fu- ture.

Knowledge was their ultimate goal and Freshmanhood was the flnst step toward obtaining it. Not being prepared to face this without careful guidance, we elected qualified leaders. President ....... Frances. Szal Vice President .. Alex Butcavage Secretary ..... .... . Vada Antonio Treasurer . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Joseph Visintainer With the aid of these able leaders, we overcame our obstacles with our motto Grit Wins ever before us. After the first month in school we were acquainted with the routine of our work as well as the activities of the school. Thus the greatest difliculty was passed. A year went by as years will, and in September we returned to be hon- ored with the title of Sophomores. We accordingly elected the following omcers: President ..... Sidney Lintz Vice President ,. Frank McGur1 Secretary ..... Frances Szal Treasurer .................... ......... J erome Purcell Our group diminished to ninety-six, but through co-operation we met with success. Interest in scholastic activities such as Dram-atics and Athle-tics increased. We were represented on the Athletic field. Many of our classmates took part in the play Sailor Maids. The annual Masquerade Ball was a noted event which included an im- mense gathering of teachers and students. Having acquired a wider range of knowledge, we were prepared to as- sume the name of Jolly Juniors. It was an interesting group who returned in September with the following leaders: President .....-. .. Joseph Condron Vice President .. Thomas Jennings Secretary ...,. Margaret 'Szilier Treasurer ............... Vance Kuebler I twenty-eightl ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1929 Our school won the 'County Baseball Championship. The Juniors were proud because we were well represented on the team. This year Basketball was again introduced in the school. Our compe- tent coaches were Miss Early and Mr. Steigerwaldx Interclass Rhetoricals consisting of oratory, debate, essay, and reading were held. The Juniors scored first in the reading contest. The Junior-Senior Prom proved to be -a -huge success. We shall never forget the delightful time we had. June came and found us ready for our final step through high school. Seniors at last! Dignified? Yes! This was the turning point. Very carefully we selected the following omcers: President ...... .... .... S i dney Lintz Vice President Albert Kazlusky Secretary ..... Vada Antonio Treasurer .............................. Jerome Purcell We gave our best 'effort to make this year the best of all. Graduation Day came and there was much talk about the future. We left Mine-rsville High School which had been our home for four years with a feeling of regret and also wi-th a tlrm resolve to do our part in the world. Wheth- er we shall accomplish our dreams and amlbitions. time alone will deter- mine. .--...-v I twenty-nine 1 ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 122.1 ,....,...,v .-.. ..,.. v -,.. --.-1-v-r K r K W .,.h , ,R GLENNYS MARION ALLCOTT nGlenH uDiZn Opera Q11 125 Q31 Track Q25 Basketball Q39 Glee Club Q15 427 C37 Of course you will need no introduction to this young lady.

Her frank- ness and reserved manner were instrumental in winning friends. Not a bit timid, Kathleen showed the Rhetorical class that she could speak forcibly. Even though the routine of our school was new to her Kit managed to appear on the Honor Roll. Only such spirit can lead her to success.

ALEX SILVER Banjo Honor Student The adage, Good things come in small packages, can be most appropriately applied to this sunny-faced 1-hap. Although young and small, Alex has often excelled in many scholastic lines. History is this young lllHl1'S favorite subject which he certainly does tackle with great skill. When it comes to remem- bering dates and happenings far back in History, Alex is on the alert. Banjo possesses a keen -sense of humor.

Often were the times when he was called upon at our assemblies to amuse us. His piano medlies have not as yet been equaled in the record of the high school. His scholas- tic ability is not to be made light of, either. Many a time has Profs heavy voice burst into our midst to break up puzzling problems. We think Harry's chosen work points toward piano and organ work. Best wishes, Arch. 9 ,,z i Fifty-eightl EL EUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, l9'J O J 33133 FRANCES E. SZAL MARGARET E.

The Juniors re- presented Dairy Maids, Farmerettes, Dairymen, and Farmers. Our Class made a fine representation. The Junior Thanksgiving Program was very entertaining and all enjoy- ed it because of its great rendition. It was an improvement over the form- er programs which is a sign that we are profiting by the teachings re- ceived. The term finally came to an end with our long-looked-for goal attained.

Kelly '29 At the trill of the referee's whistle, Kandrat's toe caught the ball in its mid-section and sent it spinning into the air. Thus the first game ot the season was ushered in. This game was with St. Patrick's High School of Pottsville. Minersville High won this game by a score of 65-0. The Miners went to Hazelton where they suffered a defeat given by a superior club. Hazelton went from the field with the heavy end of an 18-0 score. The game with Pottstown was held at the M. A. A. Park. The Blue and White brought home the smoke-cured portion of the pig when they beat Pottstown--19-0. The next game was shown to be the best drawing card of the season up to that time. Our school was scheduled to meet the Shamokin Greyhounds. Minersville made the Greyhounds swallow a 610 defeat. The following encounter on the grid-iron was with our old friend, Coal- dale. It was played to a scoreless tie, 10-01. On November 3, 1928 Minersvilles squad left for Shenandoah to bring home the county championship. What happened is history. The Shenan- doah Blue Devils roasted us to a 45-7 defeat. St. Mary's from Coaldale was our next opponent. Defeat was theirs and we carried off a score of 32-0. ,WM .H. s. vs. P. H. s. The great day of days in the year of 1928 dawned on November 24. On that day Minersville Highpl School met and defeated Pottsville High School, their old traditional rivaidhsa The keenest rivalry in eastern Pennsylvania exists between these two schools. The bleachers were over-crowded with rooters for both sides. K The game started withpkg, H. S. receiving the ball. They were going to crush us at the ,very begfkfning athat was their idea. Somehow they were mistaken for M. .Hs Sascored a six-pointer in the second quarter. The first half ended in a deadlock. Q6-61. At the beginning of the second half a determined cluib came on the field for M. H. S. The third quarter passed with neither of the teams scoring. In the last quarter M. H. S. opened up with her heavy artillery and shot the ball across the goal for three more touchdowns, making the score 24-6. A forward pass netted an extra point for us and resulted in a Hnal score of 25-6. Our last game was with Schuylkill Haven. This proved to be another victory for M. H. S., the score being 24-0.

Even though our team performed brilliantly during the 1928 season we have even better hopes for this season. We lost but one of our players by graduation, that being Albert Antonio, our captain. His place is being filled by Visie whom we hope will lead the boys to another championship. Minersville has entered the Scholastic League this season in which two new members were added, Cressona and Orwigsburg. We hope tha-t Minersville will win the county championship for 1929 and that in coming years they will have an important say in the Eastern Con- ference League.

Under Coach Elberti's instructions they progressed rapidly. Since there were only two regular players left from last season. it was a hard proposition to choose a team. Nevertheless, a winning combination was selected. Their fine work was shown in the defeat of the Alumni, December 21. 1928, by the score of 56-51. The next game was on Thursday. January 3. 1929, at Pinegrove. The boys played a fast and exciting game. When the whistle blew ending the game, Pinegrove was leading 25-24. The third game of the season was played on Friday, January 4, 1929, against St. Patrick's on -our home floor. In this game our boys showed pluck and spirit and won a victory. The score was 36-14. On Friday January 11, 1929, our boys clashed against Schuylkill Haven. The game proved very interesting, although we were defeated by a score of 33-16. The Class of 1929 drinks to the success of this season and hopes that in years to come it shall have the same opportunity to display its enthusiasm over a successful basket ball season.

The annual operetta is .awaited always with much enthusiasm. Without this extra curricular activity to break up the monotony of the routine of school life, little interest would be given -to the school. The Lady of the Terrace, was th-e opera given this year. It Wa! dl- rected by Misses Lois Hurt and Ollie Gillespie. It proved to be a very sue- cesstul one. The Class of 1929 just glows with pride when speaking of the opera, for we were well represented and therefore, feel that we contribu- ted to its success. This year the High School set out on a new adventure in dramatlcs-that of a problem play. It was called, UA Bill of Divorcementf' coached lby Mr. Charles E. Roudabush. Although a problem play had never 'been attemzp ted Tby the Min-ersville High School previously, the cast can be well com- plimented on account of the fine interpretation which they put forth ln this new venture in the dramatic field.

On the evening of October 30, 1928, great was the excitement in the vari-ous class rooms of M. H. S. In these class' rooms could be seen the different classes doing their bit to make the I-Iallowe'en Parade a greater success than in former years. The four class-es were to represent different groups of Labor. Each class did its utmost to get together appropriate costumes, cooperating with the respective teachers assigned to each group. The Freshmen Class was represented as the Manufacturing group. In this group the various trades were well portrayed by the Freshmen. The Sophomore Class was represented as the Mining group. This group was well appreciated by the citizens of Minersville. The boys in -this group represented the miners: the girls, Red Cross nurses. The Junior Class was represented as the Agricultural group. This group was comprised of dairy-maids, farmerettes, and farmers. This group in lt- self was picturesque. The Senior Class had the honor of being represented as the Professional group. This group was comprised of nurses, doctors, lawyers, undertakers, and stenographers. The various- sports of the world were also represented in this group. The citizens of Minersville showed their appreciation for the efforts put forth by the faculty and student body to make the Halloween Parade a success. We were rewarded for our efforts by being presented with twenty dollars in prize money. I am certain that M. H. S. will continue to be as successful in the future as in the past. -'messes lf one hundred seven I ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1,929 THE HALLOWEEN PARTY Mary Holloway '29 i...T On the night of November 1, 1928, the students of M. H. S. gathered in St. Vinoent's Hall to Commemorate the eve when the witchles and goblins held their annual rendezvous. They entered a hall decorated 'beautifully in black and yellow, with numerous witches and spirits pasted here and there, giving the hall a spooky and weird appearance. A conglomerate mass of costumes was seen. Somehow, an old-fashioned lady kept everyone guessing. We could scarcely wait for the Grand March which would tell us who this elegantly arrayed person was. The judges were perplexed in deciding the winners. After an interval of several minutes, the following received prizes: Frank McGurl had everyone guessing in his girlish attire. He received a silver pencil for his disguise as the most original boy. Dorothy Rothermel '30 represented a boy with a tooth-ache and her rea- listic actions warranted her receiving a necklace for bein-g the most orig- inal girl. Augustus Witman '31 was the recipient of a flashlight because of his impersonation of a negro flapp-er. He was the best dressed boy. Marjorie Glass '32 as an old fashioned lady was awarded a toilet set for her representation of the best dressed girl. Many other beautiful and comical costumes were displayed but prizes could not 'be given to all. The foot ball squad furnished the op-ening entertainment. Their program proved to be very entertaining and was enjoyed immensely. We were ready now for the dancing. An onlooker would probably be astonished at th-e sight-for witch danced with maiden, wild Indian with Negrog everyone intermingled. . Refresh-ments were served during the intermission. Tfhe dancing was re- sumed and it was not until 11:30 o'clock that the merry group of dancers thought of leaving. A delightful time was had by all-not omitting the faculty who forgot all studies and grievances and greatly contributed to making this party a huge success. lone hundred eight I 'ffvss ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1929 THE BLUE AND WHITE Jeanette Jacobs '29 We have one, All big schools h a v e o n e .

Mr. White, general supervisor, has worked diligently and succeeded in organizing two winning teams. The question debated was Reswlved: That Capital Punishment should be abolished in the United States. The Aflirmative side coached by Miss Pounder was upheld by .lerume l'ureell-Captain Franees Szal. Frank McGurl, and alternate, Robert George. The Negative team eoaehed by Miss Woiienden, eonsisied of XN'illiam llalitas Uaptain, Wilhelmina Bausch, Sidney Lintz, and alternate, .lohn Alizauekas.

VVl1ile the Mincersville Aflirmative team challenged its op- ponents' Negative at home, our Negative team went away to debate its op- ponents' Affirmative or viee versa. Un February 18, 1929 our Nfgative team inet and defeated the Frack- ville aflirmative at Fraekville by a dwision of Il-0. Our Aliirmalive team likewise met vietory by a dceision ol' 2-i. On lvlareh I both .tllirmative and Negative spoke their way to victory at Coaldale with unanimous decisions. A debate with Tremont is scheduled tor Marc-h 27. This completes the County Debating schedule and it is hoped and expeeted that Minersville will once more wrest victory from their opponents. thus gaining an initial berth in the County League. As a result of these debates, lvlinersville High is intending to make the Debating Soc-iety a permanent organization in the sc-hool and has chall- enged Mahanoy Township and Shenandoah High Sehools to debate. These debates will take place at some future date. The overwhelming sueeess of Minersville's first Debating Society is due wholly to the undivided efforts and exceptional coax-hing ability of Mr. White. Miss Pounder, and Miss Woieuden, and the spirit in which both ilebiiters and coaches entered the League. lone hundred tenl ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE WHAT OUR CAMERA SAW Ione hundred elevenj ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1929 1 i WHAT OUR CAMERA SAW lone hundred twelve-:J EUSINIA, MINERSVILLE. 192 Q' .,..,.,.

A man with a small case stepped from the car. After giving instructions to his chauifeurhe entered the wide iron gates, ran up the steps and hurried into the open doors of the large house. Good evening, greeted the butler, coming to meet him. Good evening, responded Doctor Delroy. How is your master to- night? He is very low. We are all waiting for you. The doctor hastened to his patient. With a cheerful word for everyone in the room, the doctor turned his attention to the man on the bed. Call-Mattie? the man gasped and fell back on the hed. The doctor at once began to prepare some medicine to quiet the man. Mr. Rosch, the sick man, raised himself again, calling Mattie, his daugh- ter. He wanted to sit up as he had a story to tell. They made him comfortable with pillows and sat him up. He gazed around the room with a far-away look in his eyes. He seemed to gain new strength from his sitting position and when he talked, it was not in the broken gasps of a sick man, but in an interesting tone of a traveler who has a story to tell. When I was a little boy of seven, he began, my father died. On his death-bed he told me this story, which is necessary for you, Mattie, to know. It is in connection with you and you have an important part in it. Yes, father, answered Mattie. Ever since I was old enough to understand, I had been told that our family has always lived in New York. I can still remember the tales of the old days of the horse and buggy and the first train. It was a quaint train, that first one, drawn by strong horses. n But why tell us that, father, interrupted Mattie. We know all about it. Yes, Mattie, I know you do. But the story is an introduction to your grandfather. You see, my grandfather owned stock in that first railroad. He learned the love of money through it. Everything centers about that. That grandfather of mine was very influential with the company. They always asked him for advice. His one big fault was his love of money, and he brought about our downfall through it. A queer, weazened, old doctor lived next door to him. He was a great experimenter and quite often took peoples' lives for the sake of an experi- Ione hundred fiiteenj ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1929 ment. He offered my uncle two thousand dollars if he would get the doc- tor a young woman to experiment on. She had to be- radiantly beautiful and not over eighteen. The old doctor assured him that he would not kill her, so my uncle consented. On the outskirts of the town where the poor- er lajborers lived, there dwelt a dried-old lady with her granddaughter. My uncle discovered her and gave the old lady five hundred dollars for the girl. The queer woman almost shriveled up with pure joy over the money and gave the girl willingly. The old doctor was experimenting with a substance called radium. My grandfather got his money and completely forgot about the poor girl. Mr. Rosch paused for breath. What happened to her? asked Mattie eagerly. About six months later, resumed Mr. Rosch without noticing the inter- ruption, he saw the girl on the doctor's porch. He did not recognize her. She was so pale and sallow. He asked the doctor about her and he told him that the condition was the result of his experiment. My grandfather became enraged and took the girl away from him. Not knowing how to re- compense her, he married her and then attempted to bring back her health. 'They succeeded a little in doing so. The doctor had fed her some kind of radium. He wanted to get a cer- tain supply of it into her system. He said that when that was accomplish- ed she could live without eating. The doctor, of course. was crazy. He had dreamt about that formula and firmly believed it could be done. Did she live? inquired Mattie, again interrupting. Yes, for a little while, just three years under special care. The radium had practically 'burned up her system. But what has all this to do with met? questioned Mattie. Well, continued her father, we have inherited the radium in OUR sys- tems. It isn't very much, of course, but it's there. It is coming out a little stronger each time. That is why I have been so ill and weak. It has al- ways been m-ore in the female line, and Mattie!-Mattie! You have the most of it! But I am not ill, father, argued Mattie. You are not ill, but you eat very little. You live on practically nothing! And I shall end this. I shall stop it. I WILL terminate the heredity of radium! Before anyone knew what he was about to do, Mr. Rosch had fired two shots, one at his daughter and one at himself. Both were lying dead, one on the floor, the other on the bed. The termination of heredity! lone hundred sixteenj ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE. 1929 SCHOOLS OF TOMORROW Margaret Dorothy Klzluslri This is a day of change and experiment in education. The schools of yesterday that were designed to meet yesterday's needs do not fit the requirements of to-day, and everywhere thoughtful people are recog- nizing this fact and working out theories and trying experiments. In various parts of our country, teachers -if more than ordinary abil- ity are experimenting so successfully that one may safely say of the results, these are the schools of tomorrow. Readjustment to the demands of modern life characterizes education as perhaps few other professions or branches of service. Educational questions are discussed with insistence and vigor. Guiding principles are being beaten out in a catholic research in which not only teachers and school administrators, but the general public take part. Similarly, with a multitude of situations, adjustments are required on the part of the individual. The mental picture of a former situation and its results lead to the avoidance or the repetition of the original ex- perience. The more knowledge one has of former experiences the bet- ter able is he to choose wisely among new situations that present them- selves. t People lived generation after generation in the same place, carrying on the same occupations under the same conditions. We need to know how to read and write nowadays, so that we may be able. to do the simplest daily actions, take the right street-car, avoid dangerous places, and keep in touch with other people. Imagine a person deprived of his stock of knowledge. His nature would propel him along purely instinc- tive lines, but in each situation in which he found himself, he would suffer seriously for lack of consciousness of past experience. Schools started in this country in pioneer days, when a comparatively small number of people were scattered over an immense country that offered them unlimited and unexplored opportunities. The pioneer was dependent upon his own ability in seizing these opportunities in getting ahead, in his use of nature's raw material. He lived alone a great deal and for himself, no one was really dependent upon his relations with others, for there were few people, useless material and unorganized communities without traditions or institutions. The welfare of the country was dependent upon the spread of the doctrine of getting on and every man for himself. It was entirely natural that the new schools should reflect this ideal and shape their work to drive home the lesson. Our early settlers came from centuries with traditions of cult- ure and learning and it was natural that they should look to their - fone hundred seventeenl ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1329 schools to keep alive these transplanted ideals in the midst of their struggle with nature. Culture did not mean to them a harmonious de- velopment of all the child's faculties but it meant rather the storing up of historical facts and the acquiring of knowledge and the literatures of the past. Learning too, did not mean finding out about the things around them or about what was going on in other parts of the worldg it meant re- viewing the achievements of the past, learning to read the dead lan- guage. The public schools started with the awakening of the spirit of liberty and democracy. More and more people realized that there was no pos- sibility of an equal chance for evegyone, if a very small minority of the population had entire control of the materials of science, which was so rapidly changing all social and industrial conditions. Naturally enough when these popular schools were started, the community turned to the schools already in existence for their curriculum and organization. The old schools, however, were not conducted to give equal opportunity to all- The tremendous cation.

Great changes have occurred in the last century. We have seen how the growth of democratic ideals, demands a change in education. What is needed, then, is a reorganization of the ordinary school work to meet the needs of this class of pupils, so that they will wish to stay in school for the value of what they are learning. The present system is bungling and shortsighted. The ideal is not to use the schools as tools of existing industrial systems, but to use industry for the reorgan- ization of the schools. The change in the educational idcal has been necessitated by the con- ditions of modern life. The old learning fails utterly to equip man with the kind of knowledge necessary to solve the problems arising from the developments of modern science. Therefore, we should make all new readjustments in education to meet the demands and requirement of to-day. Education of yesterday does not fit in our present day needs and requirements. Thus, the the- ories we are solving now, are those concerning the schools of tomqrrow. L one hundred eighteen 1 . ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE. 1.929 FRANZ SHUBERT Betty Murphy '29 If you are ever in the city of Vienna, and bend your steps to the dis- trict called the Lichtenthal you will there find a thoroughfare running north and south, called The Nussdorfer Strasse. Thus is its present name, but in former times, it was known as Himmelpfortgrund. Your attention, no doubt., will immediately be drawn to a tablet fixed above the door of one of the houses, which bears the inscription Shubert's Geburthaus fthe house in which Franz,Shubert was bgrnj, in the cen- ter and on the right a lyre crowned with a star, and on the left a laurel wreath encircling the date January 31, 1797. This inscribed tablet will be sufficient to have you realize that you are face to face with the house in which Shuberfi, the great musical compos- er, first saw light. As you stand there viewing the house, your thoughts will revert in fancy to the time when, a century ago, there issued from that doorway, the figure of a boy of eleven years of age, clad in a suit of gray, so light as to be almost white, with chubby face, bright dark eyes, with a spark in them that the spectacles which he wore could not hide, and a head of thick, curly, black hair. This boy was Franz Shu- bert setting out for his examination to be admitted as a scholar at the Imperial Convict, as the school for educating the choristers of the Chap- el Royal in Vienna was called. Franz from the first had shown a remarkable fondness for music. The family was in poor circumstances, nevertheless such encouragement as could be given to Franz in his love for music was given heartily and sympathetically, for there could not have been a more devoted family than his. At the first, however, Franz showed his independence by mak- ing friend's with a joiner's apprentice who took him occasionally, to a certain pianoforte warehousc in the town, where, to his joy, Franz was permitted to play little tunes on one of the instruments. Of this oppor- tunity Shubert took great advantage. Shubert's father soon realized that he was an inadequate teacher for Franz, so he sent him to Michail Holzer to learn the violin, piano, organ and thorough-bass. After a short time had elapsed Holzer assured the father that he had never before had such a pupil. If I wish to Leach him anything now, he declared, I find that he knows it already! I can only listen to him in amazementli' , Franz's entry at this time into the convict implied a long separation from home, but he soon found plenty to occupy his mind. The very first day he took his seat in the school orchestra his clever playing attracted the attention of the leader named Spaun, who sat directly in front of him. On turning around to ascertain who it was that was bringing forth such excellent tone from his violin, and moreover playing with such ,pre- cision, Spaun discovered it to be a small boy in spectacles named Franz Shubert. From that moment big Spaun became little Shubert's intimate I one hundred nineteenfl ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1Q22: friend and counsellor. In answer to Shubert's confession that he had not enough money to buy music paper on which to write his composi- tions, Spaun offered to supply him with all the paper he needed. Howev- er, Shubert wrote so rapidly that Spaun was kept busy buying music paperj ' Visits to the home were made only on Sundays and holidays, during which visit the father with his cello, Ignaz and Ferdinand, his brothers, with their violins and Franz with his viola, would play Franz's quartets. While at the Convict School he became acquainted with Stadler and Holzapfel who together with Spaun were among Franz's devoted friends. It was here also that Shubert first made acquaintance with the overtures and symphonies of Mozart, and between them and lighter pieces, and occasional visits to the opera he be'an to lay for himself some foundation of musrical knowledge. Meanwhile his genius was already showing itself in composition. At the end of 1813 he left the Convict School and became a teacher in his'fatlher's school in order to avoid military life. He lacked inter- est in the school work and in the school room minutes seemed like hours to him. However, he continued his writing becoming acquainted with the poet Mayrhofer, the rich law-student Von Schober, and the famous baritone Vo-gl. Concerning Vogl Shubert said, When Vogl sings I ac- company him, we seeng for the moment to be one. Vogl, for his part, afterwards wrote of Shubertis songs that 'they were truly Divine in- spirations, utterances of a musical clairvoyancef emphasizing the fact that 'the finest poems of our greatest poets may be enhanced and even transcended when translated into musical language! The year 1818 saw the first public performance of any work of Shu- bert's-an overture in the Italian style, written as an avowed burlesque of Rossini, and played in all seriousness at a Jall Concert on Mach 1. It also saw the beginning of his only ofiicial appointment, the post of music-master to the family of Count Johann Esterhazy at Zelesz, where he spent the summer amid pleasant and congenial surroundings. His compositions of every year showed a marked advance in develop- ment and maturity of style. Upon becoming acquainted with Shakespeare's poems he put to mu- sic, Hark! Hark! the Lark! and Who is Sylvial' In 1828 the com- positions of The Song of Miriam, The C Major Symphony and a number of trios and sonatas proved to be the last works of Shubert. Of Shubert it may be said that he was indeed far too fine an artist to write for the mob. When he tried to do it in the theater, he failed miserably, and more than once he even failed in the concert-hall. Great stretches of his music remain almoslt unknown even to musi- cians. His songs may be heard regularly, of his chamber music, little is heard at allg of his symphonies, the orchestras play them unceasingly --but never too often. Of his masterpiece Tragic it is said that none I one hundred twenty I ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE,' 192Q can listen to it without being moved profoundly, as by the spectacle of great grief. We know little directly about what Shubert thought of his composi- tions. He was, for a musician, strangely reserved. But indirectly there is a legend that, in his last days he thought of taking lessons from Si- mon Sechter. The story has always appealed pleasantly to the musfcal biographers, who delight in discovering deficiencies in artists-. Howev- er, it was well written that what Sechter had to teach Shubert was pre- clsely what an Arnold Bennett might have to teach Joseph Conrad, no less and no more. He was infinitely below Ludwig as a Technician: he lacked the sheer brain power that went into such masterpieces, as the first movement and the Allegretto of the Seventh. Such feats of pure craftsmanship were beyond him. But where he fell short as an artisan he was unsur- passed as an artist. He invented more beautiful musical ideas in his thirty-one years than even Mozart or Haydn, and he proclaimed them with an instinctive skill that was certainly not inferior to any mere vir- tuosity, however dazzling and profound. Shubert is best summed up in the well-known phrase of Liszt,,that he was The most poetic musician who ever lived. In clarity of style he was inferior to Mozartg in power of musical construction he was far inferior to Beethovang but in poetic impulse and suggestion he is un- surpassed. He wrote always at headlong speed, he seldom blotted a lineg and the greater part of his work bears, in consequence, the essen- tial mark of improvisation: it is fresh, vivid, spontaneous, impatient of restraint, full of rich colour and of warm imaginative feeling. He was the greatest Song writer who ever lived, and almost everything in his hand turned to song. In Dr, Barowski's character sketch of Shubert he says that Shubert resembles Chopin in one way. This was in the impenetrable wall of reserve which each built around his soul. Both had devoted and loyal friends: but in neither case did even the most intimate associate come into touch with the real -man, who sat entrenched behind the barrier which hid him from the world. To pay homage to Shubert in honor of his hundredth anniversary, a magnificient open air tribute concert was held in the Great Public Square of Vienna from July 19 to the 23, 1928. The program for the four days was composed mostly of Shubert's immortal workp Musicians from Germany, Poland, Switzerland, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Jugo- slavia and America were present. From the accounts we have of Shubert and other great composers we may say: Music is kind to its disciples. When they bring high talents to its service they are not forgotten. They survive among the durably salient men. Shubert belongs in that rare and enviable company. Life used him harshly, but time has made up for it. Dead a century, he lives on. He is one of the great glories of the human race. ' lone hundred twenty-onel ELEUSINIA, MINERSVlLLE,'1929 TALKING MOVIES Jerome Purcell '29, Joseph Condron '29, Vance Kuebler '29 The story is told that when Dumas Sr. wished to write a new novel, he would first gathe-r about himself half a dozen men to assist him in the work. To one would be given the task of a plot, another the char- acters and so on, a division of the labor which was in the end put to- gether by the genius of Dumas. This has been an example for many years and today in the newest in- vention we have a truly great division of labor. The invention is the talking moving picture. The picture is comprised of half a dozen labors of different men which isa sent to us as a wonderful picture. In the making of a picture there is not only the work of an author, a casting- director, adaptor, but also the designer of sets, of costumes, the re- search director, cameraman, lighting expert, and finally the contribu- tions of the actors themselves. No wonder then that today, men who have been the pioneers in making an art of the crude mo-vies are per- plexed at the entry of this new element into their art. The introduction of sound into pictures is a sad blow to those who have so Iaboriously built an art of presentation based on pantomime. It all dates back to two or three years ago when Warner Brothers, then a small insignificant corporation, scorned by the leading produc- ers, and not very well known to the public, being in a tight place finan- cially, thought they saw a way out by means of certain neglected pat- ents for synchronizing films with music--perhaps even with speech- which were owned by the Western Electric Company, now one of the most important factors in the production of talking pictures. The meth- od they chose, and to which they gave the trade name of Vitaphone is based on synchronized recording of film and sound. For this purpose a single motor is used for the camera and the turntable on which is the phonograph disk. The speed of both the instruments is synchronized, the sound being relayed through a microphone as the film is taken. In showing the picture, the process is reversed, the projection machine and the turntable being synchronized so that, as the film unreels, the phon- ograph disk keeps time on the revolving turntable, Controls placed in the projecting room and connected to amplifiers which are placed be- hind the screen, measure the volume of sound. At almost the same time the Fox Film Corporation which up until this had been producing Wild West Pictures and a very inferior grade of films, hired an inventor named Case, who began experimenting with another Western Electric system, which, he perfected and to which they subsequently gave the trade name of Movietone. However, at first the inventor's name was associated with it and it was known as the Fox- Case Movietone. Later Fox Films purchased the inventor's rights and now it is commonly known as Fox-Movietone. In this system of sound recording, which is rapidly overtaking the phonograph disk, the voice is photographed on the film itself. By coming against a small plate like an eardrum, sounds are turned into vibrations, just as with the tele- phone. These vibrations, instead ot' being at once turned back again into sounds as in a telephone receiver, are turned into light. This is done by means of what is known as a photo-electric cell. The vibra- lone hundred twenty-twol ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1229, tions caused by the sounds strike this coll and set up corresponding vi- brations that are readily, as with a telephone, turned back into sound. The results of these experiments are well known to the public. Im- mediately all eyes were turned to these two smaller companies which almost over night became famous as the pioneers and the most impor- tant producers of sound and talking pictures. The effect on stock spec- ulation and the markets was at once noticeable, Warner Brothers' stock formerly valued at 17, immediately ,rose to a peak of 126, but with the advent of other sound, settled down to 106. The Fox Film Corpora- tion's Stock also took a noticeable rise, not as large and as rapid, how- ever, as Warner Brothers'. To secure an outlet for their talking pic- tures both companies immediately purchased theatres throughout the entire country, and today they control over fifteen hundred theatres. Other chain theatres have since been eouipped for sound and at present there are several hundred sound theatres in this country. Although the foreign countries were at first skeptical about the results of these in- ventions, they also are beginning to produce talking pictures. There are three kinds of' sound pictures in popular use. One is the regular feature picture of which all or part of the dialogue is talking. Then there is the short, a song, or instrumental. number which may have part dialogue, serious or humorous, lasting for a few minutes. In this class we may include the news reels. The third is merely the syn- chronization of a musical score with the silent film., or the addition of sound effects. In order to determine just what are the complications in the con- struction of a sound picture, and to see what truth lies behind the fears that are shaking Hollywood, and all other picture colonies in the whole world to their exclusive foundations, let us go through a modern movie studio and watch the making of a sound picture. The most conservative producers are in general still making the mov- ie feature all silent. When tlie silent film is finished its sound possi- bilities are studied and in consultation with the sound director certain scenes may be scheduled for talking or sound effects, according to the type of picture. One such sound may be only the barking of' a dog, a scream in the night, a pistol shot or a rushing train. So the scene we are going to witness is merely the retaking for the purpose of adding dialogue or sound effects, to a silent picture, wherever possible. How- ever the wealthy producers give two distinct versions of the same film: one to be released as a silent version, one as a sound or talking film, if the latter is warranted. The new sound studios of which as many are being built as answer demands, are made entirely of concrete. This is done in order to check the noise without and to reduce vibrations of sound within. Double walls are used, and between them from 'eight to eighteen inches of air further hinders the transmission of sound. So, once one passes into a sound studio and the door closes one is confronted with the sensation of being cut off from the world. All passages leading to the stage are carefully guarded and usually at any entrance o-ne finds a burly indiv- idual who reminds a visitor of a once famous fighter. He will most likely point emphatically with a meaning glance to a large sign above the door which reads Silence! the loudest and most- important word today in the making of what an Englishman would term, By Jove, an audible cinema! Just now we call them talkies and it is rather para- lone hundred twenty-threel ELEUSINIA, MINERSVILLE, 1929 doxical that the most important requisite in the creation of these noisy Shadows is Silence, for without absolute quiet during actual pro- duction, the talkie would be rather a silly affair. Previously, the magic command was Liights! Action! Camera ' and then the director began shouting and his actors walked or made love, smiled or wept, and rolled an eye, just as puppets in the circus. Today the directors have been forced to substitute a sign language for the megaphone. Thus while the actors of pantomime are finding their voices, the directors are losing their voices and acquiring pantomime. After ascertaining if things are all okay in the camera booths, the reg cording room and the monitor panel, the players take their places, and there is the co-mmand: Silence or Quiet, The director or his tech- nical assistant with phone in hand calls Inter1ock. Then comes the faint hum of the synchronized motors from within the almost sound- proof cameraproof camera booths. The eye ofthe director is fastened on a little instrument board which is the means of communication with the other parts of this ponderous movie organism. A blue light and a green light are already glowing and then a larger red bulb becomes il- luminated as, the director gives the wave of the hand, a signal, for the players to begin. The red glare says the system is functioning: that thc cameras are moving with a uniform speedg that the monitor with hand placed on mysterious knobs and eyes peering at the scene below thru a plate glass sound banier is waiting to witness the scene audibly and visibly, through the monitor horns in the room below. The monitor is the man who is responsible for the quality of the sound reproduction and who modulates it as he sees fit. Even the lowly electrician or juicer as he is commonly known in the studios, has a white collar job under the new order. There are no dirty carbons to handle because the arcs and all former illuminnnts have given way to the huge noiseless incandescent lamps-the answer to the humble electrician's prayer. From the beginning of the scene until the end not a word is spoken, except by the actors. The scene may be stopped several times by the director or the sound experts. Then the entire recording mechanism stops at once. The director may then criticize actors, or discuss new effects. The same process begins and proceeds until the director' with a final wave of the hand orders the cut. .After the scene is finished and the director hears the playback he may decide to do the scene over. It is only when the proper effects are secured that the final re- cording is done, either on the disk or the film. The majority of the producers other than Warner Brothers and Fox Film Corporation, follow either one of these systems. Producers are going through huried preparations, signing up stage stars, musical com- edy actors and actresses, comedians and singers, in order that through the talking and sound pictures we may listen to Broadway and the entire world right in our own home town or its vicinity. Thus it is no wonder that all theatrical circles and in fact the entire world are astounded and profoundly interested at this change in motion pictures. How far and to what ultimate result the talkies may go, is a matter of opinion, but one year, two years, three years and it- seems safe to predict, that the silent movie of yesterday, except in out of the way corners and little theatres, will be no more.
