This progress has been especially marked in the public schools of the country. U The Monessen High School, too, has improved since its founda- tion. The Hrst High School was founded in the Jefferson building in the year 1901. ln 1904 there were four graduates and in the same year the course was changed from three years to four years. In january of 1915 the High School was moved to the Sixth Street building. In the fall of 1915 one hundred seventy-nine pupils were enrolled. In September, 1921, the highest enrollment on record was reached, when seven hundred thirty students were enrolled of whom eighty-two are Seniors. The faculty numbered twenty-five. Until 1915 there was very little apparatus for the laboratories and no home economics department nor library. At present we have a chemistry and a physics laboratory valued at Sl46,000. The library equip- ment is valued at 255,000 and the home economics at !ql41,000, Our manual training department contains all the modern improvements and is valued at ilS1,500. T-he physical training apparatus is worth 515500. Monessen High School has always been prompt in adopting new methods. VVe have -taken their good points and rejected poor ones. In some cases we even have anticipated the State requirements. XVhen the State changed the high school curriculum, Monessen was not thrown into confusion as some other schools were. VVe have always kept a- breast of t-he times through the years so we had very little to change. 7 VVe have dropped the old method of having certain courses from wvhich the student chooses one and is then required to take the sub- jects specihed in his course. 'Dhe student now has the privilege of selecting whatever subjects he thinks will best suit his need so long as they conform to the State requirements. Another mark of progress is the ten-hour day, adopted two years ago. The students are required to stay in school only eight periods, some coming at eight o'clock and others at 8:45. Recitations are in progress the whole day except for the twenty-live minutes at noon for those who bring their lunches. The others go home for lunch when they have a vacant period. VVe realize that some recreation is necessary for the students. For this purpose it is the custom toihold class parties and other social affairs. Among the activities of the school are the Girls' Glee Club and the Boys' Glee Club. NVQ also have a school band and an orchestra. A new organization known as the Stringers was organized this year. The Literary Societies give the student an opportunity to improve his speaking ability. These different organizations give the student ample opportunity to develop individual talent. A In athletics also has progress been rapid. The first football teams were coached by members of the team and by graduates. Until 1915 there was no regular coach. ln that year Mr. Townsend arrived in Monessen and became coach. The teams since then have shown a very decided improvement. In 1919 M. H. Sfvvon the VV. P. I. A. L. basket ball cup after a season which clearly showed their supremacy. The baseball and track teams have been a credit to the schpol ever since they were organized. ' ln view of the fact that we have progressed so rapidly in the past it seems reasonable to believe that we will continue to advance. When the new Junior High building is finished the High School will have a better opportunity to broaden out and improve and in time become the large-st and best High School in the valley.

GOOD-BYE 12 Illbz Brincipafs Story Vashti Montgomery It was growing well on in the afternoon of a dark Novcmlber day when a strange mran presented himself at my oliice in the Monessen High School. From the moment this person stepped into the room I began to regard him with much curiosity. He was of short stature and very heavy build. His skin, hair, and eyes were very dark. To sur- vey him more critically l turned on the light. To my surprise I could not make out on the instant whether I looked at a man or a boy. His cheeks were fresh and ruddy and as beardless and smooth as a girl's, while a drawn and lined forehead indicated the deep thought and per- haps craft of mature years. Nothing, however, attracted my attention to him so strongly as the manner in which his large round head was at- tached to his body. The skull fitted down on the trunk so snugly that there was, apparently, no space between them and although I looked again and again I could not rid myself of the absurd impression that the man was without a neck. My caller did not seem at all disconcerted by my close scrutiny of him, but, with a bow that would have done credit to a dancing master and as sweet a smile as I ever saw on a human face, he handed me a letter addressed to Virginia Markham, a pupil of my school. As was my duty I opened this note before delivery. It was merely a line or two from Mrs. Markham directing the girl to come home at once with the bearer, Mr. Allingham. As the individual referred to had not introduced himself, 1 called his attention to the fact. XVith another profound bow and another sweet smile he told me that, as stated in the note, his name was Alling- ham. That he was a former schoolmate of Virginia's cousin at the Michigan Universityg that passing through this section he had called that morning on his old friend at the Mark-hams, that as he would be obliged to go on the next morning they were going to give him a little party that eveningg that was why Virginia was to return home with- out waiting for the train. . The longer 1 listened to this person's musical voi-ce and observed his faultless manner the more I became impressed with the notion that he was an individual of more than ordinary intelligence and cul- 13 ture. Turning to him suddenly I asked him in French whether he was a graduate of the Michigan school. In the same 'tongue and With- out hesitation he replied that he was not and then mentioned a school in Paris. I now sent for Virginia and introduced the stranger. She looked at him long and earnestly but said that she had never heard her cousin mention his name. I showed the girl the note and she said it was in her mother's handwriting. As everything seemed regular I excused the girl and she got her coat and books and departed with the stranger. I thought no more of the incident unltil shortly after dark when I was startled by being called up by Mrs. Markham inquiring Why Virginia had not come home. I replied that the girl had started home long before the train and as Well as I could over the wire, I told the anxious mother all I knew. She informed me 'that she had sent no one for Virginia and that no stranger had been at her pla-ce. I could hear her crying and I began to feel very uncomfortable. As I could think of nothing better to say I told her I would call on her at once. I now began to think seriously on the strange episode of which unwittingly and unwillingly I found myself a part. I asked myself over and over again if it was not likely that I should be called in question concerning the girl's mysterious disappearance. I had not taken the number of the stranger's car. I had not even seen i't. The mother's note was a forgery. If asked why I had turned over this young and beautiful girl, entrusted to my care, into the hands of a perfect stranger and bereaved a widowed mother of her only child what could I say? Then other dreadful questions began to agitate my brain. X'l'as Virginia eloping with this strange mgan? NVas she being abducted for a ransom? As I thought of this possibility and of her youth and extreme beauty, a cold cfhill crept in around my heart. I felt it incumbent on me to do something but what could I do? In my panic I ran over to the police station and told the Chief my story. He laughed heartily. Don't get so excited, my young friend. You can hardly talk. NVQ shall be allright. I saw the dark-skinned fellow leave town with your girl. I'd know his car among a thousand. Let me tell you some- thing. This girl is rich. She is heiress to something like a hundred thousand dollars. This gentleman and his companions, whoever they are, hope to get a lot of this money. They are going to hide her somewhere until one day they read in the Pittsburgh papers: 'Forty thousand dollars reward and no questionis asked, -then all will be well that ends well. Here's the girl and here's your money. But we're not going to do business that way. Listen to me! While I use the 'phone you get your overcoat and some sandwiches and put them 14 'sw J -gear-7: - into my car, Then get in yourself and in a few minutes I'll join you. Very soon we were at the Markham home. Now, said the Chief, you go in and say a few words of en- couragement to the mother. Tell their to be of good courage. Assure her 'that we are going to leave no stone unturned, and that we hope to find her daughter and bning her home soon. You know the cousin? VVell, tell him you wish to speak to him a moment outside. I'll be at the door and take charge of him as 'he comes out. Hellol said the chief, placing a hand on the young man's shoulder as he came out, Going along? Going along where? asked the boy. 'NVhy, after your cousin, to be sure. NVe want you to go with us and show us the nearest and best road. I don't know anything about my cousin or where she is, said the boy. VVell, then, we know. She is whirling away in a green car with that dark-skinned friend of yours to some safe retreat. He and you hope in the near future to receive a handsome reward. Say, is Blacky going to break even with you or is he going to do all the work and give you the m-oney? How far do you think they are by this time? I repeat that I know nothing about my cousin, persisted the scared youth. Come out here under this light. I want to see just where to hit you. See this big gun? VVell, it has been the death of many and will be the death of many more. Oh, I donft want to die. I haven't done anything. VVhat is it you want- to know? Tell me again. Virginia Markham and your beloved s-choolmate, black of skin and black of heart,-wvhere are they at this time? I don't think they can have reached Cumberland yet. Professor, go in and get this gentleman's overcoat. Tell his aunt he has gone on an errand of mercy. Now get into this coat and into this car. VVhen the shooting begins keep very still. NVhen we come up with Mr. Allingham there will likely be some trouble. I'll Warrant that chap is a shooter and there'll be some killing going on. If he gets his eyes on you you'll be the first fellow. He'll know you put us on the trail. Away we wenlt and at what speed! I had scarcely sat down when we flashed through Brownsville. Then Uniontown faded away. Then we faced the mountain. No sooner said than done. Over the top and 15 down the other side. .Xt Somertield we came up with two men eating a lunch in their car. Questioned by the Lfhief they said a green car with a woman asleep in it had stopped in the village for repairs but had gone on sometime before. Our people sure as death l shouted the Chief. Then he took the two men aside. 'l'hey were offered five hundred dollars if they overtook the green car and held it until we arrived. ln a moment they had vanished. Vlfe followed but they outran us. As day began to break, Cumberland came in sight. .X short distance ahead we heard pistol tiring. They are caught, they are caughtlu, yelled the Chief. 'l'hen the machine shot ahead with a jerk that seemed likely to lrreak it in pieces. ln a moment we were on the scene. Nobody hurt, Captain, said one of the captors. But: that black gentleman of yours is certainly a shooter. lf we hadn't been good dodgers he would have gotten both of us. lt was lucky for him that we had no pistol hut we ran in, caught him and tied him and there he is. l heard a gentle tapping on the glass of the green car. l looked up and the girl was awake within. l ran and opened the door and she sprang into my arms. l have heard and read of ecstatic moments but if l ever had one it was when l held the limp form of that young girl in my arms.

Nicoden As we near the close of the fourth year of our journey, we look to the past for pleasant memories of our High School career. Back in nineteen eighteen there rose from the heights of junior High to the depths of High School a large group of timid, eager, en- thusiastic students numbering around the century mark on Whom the name of Freshmen was bestowed. After one year of earnest endeavor and perseverance they un- dentook to uphold the name of Sophomores. Few were the sad hearts who were left behind and could not share the new nomen. During the Sophomore year many were the snags but the good old ship carried through them all and came out in fine shape. Only a few fell overboard and were left behind. In September of '20 as we started on the third year of our jour- ney we were informed that we were now bedecked with the name of Juniors. Many of our number now began to participate in athletics and various other school activities. A few months after the term be- gan the surviving members of the former Sophomore class met and decided that they wanted a class leader. As a result XVilliam Marsden was elected. Under his able leadership we passed through the trials hardships, and pleasures of the year until the banquet and contest. There our class was made famous by the oratory of various members. After the clouds of the finals had cleared we found that when we again entered M. H. S. it would be under the name of Seniors. Oh! Can you imagine our pride to think that we had reached the heights for which we were so long striving, and to think we would be among the class envied by all, the Seniors? As we, the Seniors, entered our fourth year our ranks had been cut one score from the original number and the four score remaining set out with a final spurt to conquer all the difficulties of the Senior year. After electing a leader, namely our old friend Graff, we started out with vim and many were the social' festivities that we had dur- ing the year. Friends and fellow-classmates, can you remember the first party where so many of us learned how to dance? Long will the Senior class of '22 be remembered by Mr. Doering, our able gymna- sium instructor. After most of the Senior year is past we are informed that eight and seventy of our number will be on the stage at Commence- ment. .As We bid farewell to High School, it is with sad hearts and sincere regret. VVe are grateful to good old M. H. S. and to the mem- bers of the Faculty for that NVisdom which we have derived from their faithful work and earnest efforts. 31 H ruth I ! fb ut E Nothing of HSI QE ntbing Eur The Zllirutif' PRESENTED BY THE CLASS OF 1922 MARCH 23, 24, 25 CAST OF CHARACTERS Robert Bennett ---f---- blames Hanlon A young stockliroker who says he will tell the truth for twenty-four hours li.

XVe have been successful in reaching the third milestone of High School with an enrollment of about one hundred thirty-eight, the largest junior class the High School ever held. Although bulky in numbers, nevertheless its merits are in equal proportions. The class is spread out over the whole sec-ond Honor and almost every room con- tains a junior. Under the supervision of Miss Baker, the .lunior class was suc- cessfully organized with Charles Yengst as president, .loihn Pilette as vice-president and 'llllCllllZl Corwin as secretary. Soon a masquerade party was held in which there was' no one who did not frolic about enjoying himself. Because of their good behavior and their devious ways of reciting after each party the -Iuniors were allowed to unite with the Seniors in many social alfairs. The juniors have also blazed the trail for future classes to fol- low in the quest for learning and knowledge.

This light shines and reveals hope of the future. As I watch its course, I see victories already won in Athletics and in studies, but chiefly in Understanding. ' That light tells that the year of 1922 has not been wasted. For there are revealed the faces of students who are to uphold the repu- tation of Monessen Highs Athletics. Tfhen I see a violinist, of whom we can be proud: here are also future honor students whom some day we shall envy. Now, the light goes forward for a few years, when all are con- fronted by another school. For now, as is predicted by the light, is the new generation going forth into Life. I see the light now shining and gleaming strongly, giving guidance, comfort and help to men. But its radiance has dimmed again and its steady flame is small. Still l read in that light a prosperous future when it woulld repre- sent NVisdom and Reason, unconquerable. That Light-The Sophomore Class.

Although our enemies, Arithmetic, Geography, History and others were strong, we now en- counter the giants Latin, :Nlgebra and English which are far stronger. Our greatest stronghold by which we hope to endure these hardships is study. lt is a task that only those that persevere and work hard can pdrform. How small and unimportant We feel when we come in contact with the Seniors and juniors! But we know that as a result of hard mental exertion we too may reach the height of public schooling. XVe hope that we shall all go through High School together and be a credit to our school. For our career depends somewhat on our High School education. XVe have before us four years of study and they will be the most enjoyable part of our lives. Here also is a chance for those that excel in athletics. XVe hope that many of the Freshmen class will participate in all three branches of sport. Our hope is that this class will go through High School without mishap. 49 Y .. -Q. t sv N wi' x ,.

Wilson Progress is inherent in great achievements. Even Caesar or Alexander could not have conquered the Barharic tribes of the East with- out advancing the standards of civilization: they were the champion knights of progress in their days. ln fact it is to the ancients that we are indebted for our underlying principles. Every important na- tion of the ancient world seems to have contributed something to modern civilization :-Phoenicia, her letters: Carthage, her commercial spirit: Egypt, her scienceg Persia, her court organization: Greece, her art and philosophy: Palestine, her religion: Rome, her government. The development of these inheritances can he clearly traced through all ages down to the present age: each age endeavors to add something worth while to tthem. Thus to-day we are still improving them and discarding that which we deem no longer useful. Greece has given us culture, for the Greeks stood highest in this type of advancement. Even at present we use her types of art which have never heen excelled hy modern artists. Thus, although we consider ourselves modern and progressive we still use some ancient methods. Even the English language of to-day is founded upon Greek and Latin. Foremost among Greek achievements were their architecture and sculpture. Vice-President Coolidge, in an address hefore the .Xmerican Class- ical League, at Philadelphia, remarked Z- Modern civilization dates from Rome and Greece. lt is impossible for society to lrreak with 52 its past, for culture is the product of a continuing efiiortg the educa- tion of a race is never accomplished. Even government traces most of its basic principles back to Rome's political system. No nation before the Romans had developed a system of government s-0 well suited to maintain an authority over such a widespread territory and so many diiierent kinds of people. It is in her political system that we may see the special marks of her genius and her own original contributions to the progress of the world. Too, it was in the development of just and liberal laws by which the rights of her citizens were protected in their relationship with one an-other, that the Romans showed their greatest ability and have ex- ercised their most powerful influence upon modern nations. ln re- gard to the Roman law, Prof. Bryce says: Being studied by all edu- cated men, the poets, the philosophers, the administrators of the Middle Age, it worked itself into the thoughts of Christendom, losing the traces of its origin as it became the eommlon property of the World. Coolidge says, Rome gave to thc world the Erst great examples of justice, order and tolerable state of liberty under law. T ' l b ria y Jury is no new thing, for all citizens in ancient Athens were entitled to it. Next let us go back still further to the primitive age when men dug out ditches for shelter. Everyone knows that our boys did like- wise in t-his XVorl-d's VVar. Even camoufiage was primitive in the re- spect that the trees were used to hide men from the enemy. Evil tendencies as well as good 'have been handed down to us from the past. History tells us that Rome was threatened by divorce and tihe rural population seeking the city. To-day we contend with the same problems. The home life is most important to a nation, either making or breaking a nation. VVhen the home life of Rome be- came so corrupt that its integrity could not be maintained then Rome fell. Nations niow are urging better home life and the banishment of the evils of divorce. To the Middle Ages, which many historians call the Dark Ages, we owe little, for they simply preserved and handed down with slight 53 improvement the best of the ancients' civilization. These ages seem more like a bridge connecting the past civilization with the present. With all these inheritances we must not forget that when We can no longer use them advantageously then we must discard or improve them. If We fail to do so and cling too closely to the ancient types then we will 'bCCOI1'1lC similar to the Chinese with their ancestral wor- ship. It remains for us to be ever on the alert and keep up with the times. May We say with Whittier, And step by step since time be- gan, I see the steady gain of man. VVe have tried fwhether successfully or not is hard to determine at timesj, to carry over the best of each age's civilizationg improv- ing as time passes tha-t form or type we deem best suited to present conditions. Each age has the preceding age's civilization by which to profit and we, of now, are too experienced to discard all of the past but We aim to use the best of each age. At present the ties that link us to the pasft are numerous and valuable. We have reco-gnized their worth and put them to a use as long as they seemed suited. At the same time we must remember- The moon will Wax, the moon will Wane, Nothing that is can pause or stayg The mist and cloud will turn to rain, Tvhe rain to mist and cloud again, To-morrow be to-day. fLongfellowj The Staff of PEP express to the School Board, Faculty and students their appreciation for loyal support. The interest and skill of the'Art students are responsible in great measure for the attractivel- ness of the book. We were also helped by the Commercial students who typed for us. VVe feel tihat the year-book as a whole truly rep- resents the Work of the entire school. 54 S HDEUT GCTIUITIES Qlibe 'literary Qutietizs The Literary Societies, both Senior and junior, have had a pro- Gtable as well as an interesting year. The loss after the holidays of Miss Bowman was regretted but the capable guidance of the Senior societies by Miss Hoguc and Miss Beggs and of the ,luniors by Miss Hundertmark and Miss Ryan has brought the year's work to a sue- cessful close. Among the interesting topics for debate during the year were the following: Resolved: That students should buy their own text-books. That apart from expense the small college is prefer- able to the large college for the man of average ability. That there are greater educational advantages in a Co-ed. school. That the Government should control telegraph and telephone lines. Musical numbers added greatly to the interest of the programs. Vocal and instrumental solos as well as choruses by both Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs have been pleasing. t-X Girls' Chorus from the French Club sang the Marseillaise in the original. The Stringers , a new stringed quintette was first welcomed in Literary. An attractive specialty was a Minuet by Freshmen girls. The splendid work of our Orchestra is always enjoyed and no literary program would be com- plete Without their selections. Unusually original and attractive were the holiday and special programs. Hallow'e'c!1, Thanksgiving, Christmas, St. Patricks llay and Easter had each its appropriate celebration. Contributing to St. Patrick's natal day were essays on the Shamrock lsle and St Pat- rick, a reading Trish Names, and a lovely cornet duet, Gems of lrt-land. An All-Shakespearean program was presented March 29. The subject for debate was: That Shakespeare-'s heroes are greater than his heroines. A sketch from The Merchant of Venice, the scene between Launcelot and Old Gobbo, was given. The music was entirely stmkts- pearean. l.ater in the year a similar Tennysonian program was ar- ranged. 56 The feature of the Christmas program was a comedy sketch en- titled Christmas at Hi Hopkin's. The characters were: Hi Hopkins, the grouchy farmer - James Hanlon Nancy, his nagging wife - Bella Bornstein Sister Allen, who knows the latest news - Thelma Corwin Percy, son of Hi and Nancy. a sailor lad - - James Schrading Rufus, his brother, a college graduate Phelps Sample Afllnlillfil l daughters Lucille Conti L Mary -lane iof Sister Allen Agnes Jacobs Anna Awkins, who got losted Anne Molnar Santa Claus Qalias Awkinsl father of Anna - - Francis Myford Chorus of youths and maidens who welcome the boys-Cilee Club 'llhe oratorical ability developed during the year will be displayed in the Annual Contest between the two Senior Literary Societies on May l2 and in the contest for a medal given by the XVoman's Club of Monessen on May 19. Fl Fl Fl le mls jfranrais A new club, l.e Cercle Francais , was organized at the beginning of the year. Its purpose is to provide students of French an op- portunity for practice in the use of the language. Under the able di- rection of Miss Irwin many interesting programs were given, consist- ingof dialogues, readings, orations and bon mots , all in French. At various times iniplace of a program a French newspaper, Le Petit Journal , was read and discussed. During the second semester plays were given in French during class period. 57 !1 its b anh ck thr Bla itaif of he G The Mark anh white Eleanor Knuuttila The Black ancl XYhite, our school paper, published weekly in one of the local newspapers, is one of the most interesting activities of the Monessen High School. lt is eflilerl by one of the pupils and its stat? is made up of pupils.

Q The Girls' lee lub Mildred craig This year, without a doubt, the Girls' Glee Club has come into the lime-light. At almost all the literary functions of the year the mem- bers of the club could be seen arrayed in their regulation costumes, white middies, ready to do their share towards making various pro- grams successful. All this has been accomplished under the direction of their in- structor, Miss NVilson. Although this is Miss VVilson's first year here, she has proved a capable director and an accomplished musician. This year the club members are planning big things. lt is their intention to give a series of concerts in the neighboring towtns during the coming spring season. They are also planning to give if concert in cooperation with the Boys' tllee Club which promises to be the most interesting ever given. Although the Club has been greatly diminished in size owing to the loss of several members, yet the remaining members have not permitted their small numbers to hinder them in their Work. They believe in the old saying, Quality not Quantity. No new members have been admitted this year and most of the number' are three or four year members.

That was also the consensus of opinion in Monessen I-ligh School. whenlthe news went forth that we were to have a regular Boys' tilee Club. This was in the later days of 1920, and up to this time, our boys, as exponents of the vocal art, were considered absolutely N. ti. However, with bold face and weak heart we sallied forth upon the adventure, and at the close of that school year decided it wasn't so bad after all. At any rate, we had acquired a little experience which was to prove helpful to us-'for our next advent into the realms of melody. XVhen school assembled for the beginning of the present term, a new directress, Miss Veerna XVilson, was found at the head of our musiical organizations. Through her enthusiastic ellorls, we all im- bibed new zeal and ardor, so that, when the initial meeting took place twenty-four young fellows gathered together to form the best Glee Club. of our as yet, youthful history. livery Monday evening we congre- gated for a fervid, pep-spilling meeting. Not much has been obtained in the way of public exhibition: yet from the standpoint of benefits derived, and from t-he fact that the roll, for the most part, comprised novices in the matter of singing, we feel and rightfully, that this sea- son's Work has been a great success. The Club lined up as follows: President - Vice-President Secretary - George Baka Bernard Cramer Andy Dobo-sh james Hanlon Herbert Luce John Miller Theodore Olson Tony Parnelli blames Pasquale Prosper Pilette VValter Harper George jones john Kopp Millard Logan - Cha1'lesl.ayton T .lohn Pilette Joseph lfieco Dwight Ramage Phelps Sample Morris Samuels Perry Schaffer blames Schrading jesse Symons Robert NVilliams Fifteen of these members are accessible for next year's chorus. This all goes to prove that the Boys' Glee Club of l923 should be quite an accomplished one, and win mruch favor by its deserving attainments. M. H. S.

It has been as active, as industrious and as pleasing as ever before and has endeavored to make us more appreciative of good music. In this purpose it has to a great extent succeeded. Although the lack of a variety of instruments during the hrst semester combined with irregular practices for diverse unpreventable reasons constitute the main difficulties the orchestra has had to cope with, there was no abatement of that perseverance and enthusiasm which has always marked its work. During the latter part of the school year, members of the 'Iunior High School Orchestra greatly helped ours by supplying the wind and brass instruments we lacked. The orchestra has furnished music for Institute VX'eek, the Senior Play, Contests and for all our Literary meetings. As it seems to progress yearly we may safely prophesy that our orchestra is an organization with a future. lts members are: Piano-Elma Passoja First Violins Yienna Campana Raymond Celli Gertrude Eisenberg Russell Forrester .lay Schumm Second Violins Sylvester Constantine Marie Gardell Harry Krieger Comets Arvo Hankala Flutes Edwin Laatu Elsie Vllilman Clarinet-Reino Ruuti Oboe- XValfred Saxberg Trombone-Carl Parnella 65 Estelle SHGCIA Lois Fohl James Keenan Robert Sherwin Helen Cook Esther Johnson Emma Patton Joseph Pokorny Reino Patti-niemi fllfbz high Ecbnul 3BaniJ 42,1 HL .- 1 1 19 ' 1121 S D r V if if to i l 'if or 40 ,- EC w'n'L W' ' A ', -L! ...J lf s illlnnessen ilaigb School Bank Carl Parnella 'l'he Monessen High School Hand which was organized last fall has made quite a hit in town.

Barn- hart who has used much time and patience in making the band a suc- cess. It has been rumored that if the band sticks together they may possibly be supplied with regular band uniforms.

Three years ago the junior High School Library Association was 'organized with dues Fixed at one cent a week. Out of the first funds of our treasury we purchased eight books. These eight books were the neuclleus of our library. The all-absorbing question then, was how to equally distribute eight books among approximately three hundred and fifty Jr. High School students. But that is getting somewhat ahead of our story. You possibly have wondered why we needed a hir. Library. Isn't there an extensive public library in the west wing, upper floor of the High School Building? This we grant beyond a doubt, but how much more interested we are in an organization when we know that we are stock holders in it. Practically every student in Jr. High wanted to become a stock holder in this new organization. lt was not long before we were able to double the number of books. No doubt many of the Seniors will remember the beginning of our library when the only available shelf for our books was the one extending 'across the front of the stage in the Auditorium. Soon our library grew to such proportions that it was necessary to move it to new quarters. Shelves were then built in Room Four, which was then made and is still, the head quarters of the Junior High School Library Association. VVith the cost of booksgradually increasing it was necessary for us to increase our dues. They were raised to twenty-five cents a term which makes the assessment about one cent and a half per week. Had we depended entirely upon our dues for the purchase of new books our library would not have grown so rapidly. It has now become the custom for the Junior High to give an entertainment annually. The proceeds from these entertaniments are used to buy more books So ouir library continues to grow. There are now over six hundred books on its shelves, another order in the .hands of the pub- lishers and lover one hundred dollars in our treasury. Did our boys and girls ever take care of books as they do now? I feel sure that can be answered in the negative. The following library rules is a gentle reminder that they must Handle with Care . If with torn or dirty book you come, Dog ears turned down five cents the sum. Each finger mark that is made brand new, You must pay for with pennies too. Thus we have learned with little care Our Library books much longer wear. The girls of junior High do a large part of the library work. This year the distribution of books has been largely in the hands of La Verne Yengst who has proven herself to be a very capable assis- tant. 70 '-'AN 5 f-X, JL.,-f .QS XP, X4 g The Svteam uller Charles Yengst lVlonessen's l92l footluztll tertm was without question the but i . n the history of the sehool. .-Xfter playing the hztrclest seheclule in their history this team stzmcls ztlon- ' l - ' - ' ' ' t in tit nulnlmtr of points seorecl against them.

The Hrst game on Monessen's schedule was with Rochester High on September 24. This close battle resulted in a 7-6 win for Rochester. U The second game was played with Uniontown at Monessen. Although Uniontown had scouted the Rochester game they were not able to stop the Black and Vtfhite and at the end of the game saw a goose egg on their record while Monessen had collected twenty-Five points. Duquesne was next met at Duquesne in which the Steam Roller collected a-nd ironed out twenty points. McKeesport had a big team and many thought they would cop the VV. P. T. A. L. title. They came to Monessen full of confidence and fight. But 'the local team' had more Fight and began the game by scoring. This, however, ended the scoring although Monessen did have the ball on her opponents 20 yard line six times but lost the ball on fumbles. McKeesport, like the other opponents, were unable to go through the Black and VVhite defense. The Fifth game of the season was' with Monessenis bitterest ri- val, Donora High. Donora had lost but one game, that to NVashing- ton High, by a 20-I3 score. Donora was placarded with banners bear- ing the inscription Beat Monessen . The game was a thriller but the team work and physical condition of the Monessen players far surpassed that of their opponents. The game ended with a score of 19-0 on the right side of Monessen's ledger. The Donora game was followed by that with Monongahela City, the team of giants. At this time Mon. City was one of the lead- ing contenders in the race for the trophy and had also beaten McKees- port. Boasting the best backfield in the league they came to Mones- sen expecting to Wipe out the sting of the former defeats. However, they had not counted on Monessenys hidden attack. Leading 7-0 at the beginning of the fourth quarter, Monessen opened up on a series of passes fHanlon to P. Pilettej that they had kept under cover all year and scored tvwo more touchdowns by the aerial route. Monessen 21, Monongahela 0. 74 Although Connellsville had defeated Peabody High of Pitts- burgh, Monessen outclassed them by a score of 42 to 0. South High of Pittsburgh was the Black and White's next op- ponent. South had held the champion Xkfestinghouse High team to a score of 7-0. The local team literally slid over the Southsiders in a sea of mud to the tune of 61-0. Monessen officials made several attempts to play the Champion VVaite High team, but were unable to 'come to terms. Oil City, champ- ions of Northwestern Pennsylvania for three years, accepted terms and Monessen at last ended her season with an overwhelming victory, 42-0. The l92l team must be honored for their splendid team wonkg also at no time were there any of the men out of the line up on account of Scholastic standing.

The only teams to defeat Monessen this year have been Duquesne, Melieesport, Lharleroi, and Connellsville. ,l,.1l.i..i-- - CHARLES YENGST Basket-Ball Captain Second Foul-Shooter in W. P. I. A. L. League Average for Season .769 Out of twelve league games they Won seven and loist five. The team this year is composed entirely of juniors so the outlook is good for the team to finish at the top next year and make a bid for the championship of the W. P. I. A. L. 77 'l'he team this year was captained by Yengst, our diminutive for- ward and star foul-shooter. His pluck has led Monessen through many hard-fought games to a victory. Chuck finished second among the foul shooters of the league this year. He has caged 282 out of 382 tries. This includes league and post-season games. Schrading, the best all-around athlete ever produced in the local High School, was also a star. He scored sixty-nine field goals, more than any other man on the team. He was also chosen All-Scholastic Guard for Section V. Dick, by his superior dlribbling and passing bewildered many of the opposing teams. Besides playing forward, Dick played guard and center. Chalfant and john Pilette, the two guards, caused many of the opposing forwards much worry and each scored quite a number of field goals, an uncommon 'feat for a guard. john Pilette, besides playing basketball, also plays football and he has been chosen Captain for that sport next year. Prosper Pilette, our regular center, is another all-around athlete. He has earned his letter in football, basketball, and baseball. Pro, was invaluable to the team this year for he got the tip on m-any of the centers and was also a fine point-getter. Bertinetti and Sichi alternated at forward. These two were the best shots on the team and it was Sichi's eagle eye that won many a g2l111C. Pete Bertinetti was handicapped as he was not eligible until the middle of the season. During the time he played he always played a good game and he earned his letter. The team of 1921-1922 was greatly helped by the valuable substi- tutes who helped them prepare for their games. The second string men were, Mowl, Hutchison, Janavitz, Destefano, Myers, Allison and M-oorej The following men earned their letter this year in basketball: Yengst, Schradin-g, Sichi, Bertinetti, Chalfant, John Pilette and Prosper Pilette.

The girls this year us that tlirls' llasket Ball is here to stay. season has been a successful one from the view-point of the number of games won, and also in view of the fact that only three girls from last 5ear's team were eligible at the beginning of the sea- son, and so it was necessary to build up an entirely new organization. The team was noticeable for their pep and good team-work. None of the girls tried to play individual games, but worked at all times for the team. Credit year's work for this team-work is due to Miss Davis who in her has proven herself a very competent coach. Prospects look favorable for a championship team next year. The line-up will be practically the same, with the exception of one I h ' payer w o will graduate, Bella Bornstein, guard during the seasons of I920-21-22.

She played her position well, seeing' quicklv the weak points in the opponent's team and playing the hall in that sectio nof the floor. Elsie Roberts, the little bunch of speed and determination, was always just where the ball crossed the middle of the floor. ln all games she easily out-played her opponent. Florence Lebowitz, one of the veterans of last year's team, proved her ability as a forward by scoring Ill points of the season's total score of 186 points. Catherine Glasgow, playing her First season of Basket Ball, was truly a strength to the team, and was a dependable co-worker with Florence. Hella Bornstein, the veteran guard, played her part. She played with a determination to win. The team will feel her loss greatly. Emma Patton can he said to be one of the best guards Monessen Girls ever possessed. Wihenever the ball came to her end of the Hour, Demp gave her forward no chance to star. Anna Sandula worried her forward by her high jumping and close guarding. She will make a good partner for Emma next year. Her good-nature keeps the team in good humor. Anne Molnar, forward, and .Xnna lanavitz, side center, the two midgets of the team. Their size is completely overlmalanced by their speed and dexterity. 84 Alumni Qnnueili Thomas Preston, '13 I l have not as yet noticed their names in the police records nor in the obituary columns, but as house-breakers, a group of former high school students gave promise of requiring Sherlock Holmes .to sav to his assistant: Quick, XYatsonl the needlefl As for our mis- givings, Ii'ostum,' in fact, much Postumf So successful were these Apaches that had they cut a notch in a stick, for each entry into the High School Building, said stick would have resembled a wood-saw. The Apachial deeds of this band for one evening are herein chronicled. On such a night, when the sweet wind did gently waft the trees along McKee Avenue. the band scaled the High School wall and en- tered the building. At one end of the jefferson building was the chapel with a piano on the rostrumg at the other end, the chemistry laboratory with a supply storage of cloak-room dimensions. Observers next morning might have detected the paths of the piano casters winding from the chapel to the laboratory. An atttempt had been made to put the piano in the storage with the intention of bricking it in, but the instrument fitted the room too much. Odoriferous limberger was next brought into action, action which spoke louder than words. A generous coaning was placed in and on the desks, in the books: pieces were secreted in the ventilating system, a generous portion found temporary quarters in the piano, placed there no doubt to give a nasal quality to the bass clef tones. The culprits used t.his massage on their own desks and thus dest.royed a possible clue to the.ir identity. From the nature of the offense, bloodhounds, using their sense of smell, would no doubt have been success-ful in leading to a capture, although the human nasal apparatus was also affeoted by the foreign substance. Had the idea carried out been put to a student vote before the aot was accomplis-hed, we feel sure the voiced sentiment would have been Cheese It , which should have stiill left us in doubt as to their Wishes.

Bellerophon on Pegasus should have had a strenuous timic overtaking him. III 'Tis midnight on Hallow'e'en. Round the school house, not a Creature is stirring, not even a mouse. XVithin, Mr. XVilliams his vigil is keeping and thinks it now time to be home and a-sleeping. A last look around to assure all is well--then home. XVhat! Not yet? XVhy stay, pray tell? Beneath the maple trees across the way, the joiners left at close of day the saw-mill's product, plank on plank, to build the 'home of Mr. Blank. A dozen youths on mischief bent, swung the lumber all intent on causing trouble to the man who notes, unknown to them, their plan. Two heads peering over the hedge silhouetted by the moon ob- serve that all is still and make retreat to the bellicose group across the street. The worthy building custodian brings two buckets of water, a rifle and sings to himself as he reaches a place in a nook of the balcony over the stieps with a look of one who at last had come unto his own and has suffered in silence, confiding in none. Before the moon began to wane, had Birnam's XYood to llunsinanc been re-enacted. Immersed in glee each laden with his gallows tree, brings his offering to the door to lay it and go for more. A voice rings through t-he startled air with water flying everywhere. A shot and then another tends to speed the feet of the janitor's friends. So be sure if you would carry wood to the school that you reckon on that under- neath your own wool. IV To refiect on thesmany years of excellent discipline and inter- ested classes who have come under her care, must be a source of con- siderable satisfaction 'to this friend of all M. H. S. alumni, Miss Kings- ley. I do not know what the pedagogy book says about discipline, bult the iniculcatiing of it has appealed to me as being the foremost re- sponsibility of the teacher. Results may be obtained by autocracy or by an understanding of the psychology of the student. Miss Kingsley practices the latter method as witness an example or two from the many: An attempt at pulling something over was met with: Young man, you'll have to get up early in the morning to get by with that . During the lenten season -of 1912, the juniors were required to hand in original compositions. One story, bubbling over with amorous expressions was read by a young man. The recital invited consider- able laughter. Miss Kingsley closed fthe incident by quoting from Silas Marner: In Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of lov-e. 86 Ulu.. ,UI JEST IN PIECE Dear Readers: In view of what we have to contend with, as shown in the fol- lowing letters, which are only a few of many, we hope that before you begin to read the results of our 'honest efforts, you will be careful to be in the most good-natured frame of mind.
