V Q 9 I like to see a man proud of the town in which he livesg and I like to see a man so live that his town will be proud he lives in it. --A. Lincoln. 'Mid pleasures and palaces though I may wend, 1 find the home merchant a much valued friend. The mail order catalog woos me in vain, For to pay without seeing may bring me a pain. The home merchant credits till pay day arrives, He knows all the whims of his friends and their wives. His overalls wear like the buckskin of old. His buttons ain't brass if he tells you they're gold. Of every community he is a part- And even the kids know the path to his heartg He boosts for the chapel, the lodge and the school, Community uplift is ever his rule. And even the football and basketball team Look kindly on him in their athletic dream. I'd rather have him at my elbow each day Than to deal with someone furlongs away. Let's make the thing mutual, And stand by our friendg There's no place like home for the money we spend! -Courtesy of M. F. S. ., X! ' 2515, ft, J, 'rf' :A .

WILLIAM LUTHER MCDERMOTT i.Billy,, A clever young chap is our President Bill, When he works, he works with a will.f?l Presldent Class, Treasurer Athletic Associa- tion, Business Manager Flame , Civic Club Billy's greatest ambition is to be a Sheik. After seeing Rudolph Valentino he is crazy to imitate him. The only thing he now needs in order to achieve his ambition is to have Chuck Ross's wavy hair. Another aspira- tion of his is to become an architect. Here's hoping he designs our new auditorium. SARA JESSIE MCCHAIN ifilessn Brains and beauty are hard to find, But here they are side by side. Valedictorian, Flame Staff, French Club Civic Club Finleyville is noted for its beauty, so we can account for Jess being beautiful. How- ever when it comes to brains we're stuck. Jessie is a regular sport, with lots of pep and class spirit. Her present interests seem to be centered around drug stores? ? ? ? We are looking for big things in the future from our first honor student. WENDELL ROBERT CARLSON Hvveni, Editor-in-Chief Flame, Vice President Class, Fifth Honor Student, Ring Commit- tee, Basketball Manager, Assistant Foot- ball Manager, Senior Basketball, Civics Club. XVendell Robert first opened his eyes on this big world in Greensburg: in 1916 he came to live in Monongahela. His enthusi- asm for athletics leads him to follow up all sports, and he is present at all our games, far and near. His classmates think him kind, congenial and ambitious. Chuck Ross is his favorite pal at school and in the Ford. He may be a distant relative of Stonewall Jackson, who knows! Success to Wendell in his journalistic career. MARY LOUISE HOFFMAN nsuei, A versatile lass is our clever Sue How sweet you feel when she smiles at you. Captain Basketball, Secretary-Treasurer Class President French Club, Cheer Leader, Flame staff, Class Donor. Captain Sue is one of our best liked Sen- iors, and M. H. S. will surely be sorry to loose her from the basket ball team. Sue doesn't know what she is going to be but she cruelly declines to brighten the life of any would-be suitor. Look for Sue as captain of the Pitt Pantherettes a few years from now. E FLAME CHARLES EMMETT ROSS Chuck Charles E. Ross is' an industrious lad, VVith a vocabulary which would make any one mad. Fourth Honor Student, Baseball, Manager Football, President Athletic Association, Senior Basketball, Flame Staff, Secre- tary-Treasurer Civic Club, Debating Team, Ring Committee. Charles is one of our class hustlers. This was proven by the way he managed our foot,- ball team and helped prepare the new field for the first day of action. On top of this he was able to grab off fourth honors. His exemptions were only made possible by the overlooking on the part of a few teachers, of his recess periods with certain other dig- nified seniors. MARY VIRGINIA TAYLOR Taylor Here we have beauty and Brains combined 'Tis rumored that Ziegfield has her signed. Ring Committee, French Club Virginia is one of our class belles. She ex- pects to go to State where we expect her to be the Campus queen. Her future life is uncertain, but the crystal ball of the mystic sees a few ? masculine faces. Nuf ced. CLYDE BOWERS SNHTH Smitty Slick For our Football team t'was always a pity, To play a game without Captain Smitty. Captain Football, Captain Baseball, Basketball Smitty our old reliable kid, even if he does sleep through most of his classes. Some college is going to get a fine athlete and some girl- - a wonderful husband. Don't disap- point us Smitty. EMMA KATHRYN HARPER ..Kat,, A golden haired beauty, how she loves Tech Of success we wish her many a peck. Assistant Editor Flame, Cheer Leader. Operetta. This fun loving classmate of ours has the ambition to attend Tech where she may see him every day. She threatens to study journalism, but this will only be a means to an end: in a few more years she'll be bossing one of Carnegie's football stars. Best of luck, Kat. 5587 'f 'w?-prim.

Roy's poems To Altha make Bobby Burn's Highland Mary look sick. Roy's ambition is to become a great surgeon, but we think he had better stick to love lyrics. But with Altha for his inspiration how could he help but succeed in whatever Work he undertakes? ALTHA YEU RITH WALL Altha Altha VVall, tall slender and slim, Rides with Roy Coatsworth ln his big hunk a' tin. Altha is one of our dark haired beauties. She is seldom seen alone, especially in the halls at noon. We hear she is going to teach, but no matter what she chooses, We wish her lots of luck. SAMUEL HENRY KLINGENSMITH Sammy Sam, Sam, the sleepy man Sleeps the day through, whenever he can. Civic Club, Orchestra lt sure is lucky for Sam, that most of the teachers overlook an occasional nap, or two. Sam's philosophy is, Blessed is the man who invented sleep. However if there is mis- chief brewing and he's awake, he's always right there. lf Sam ever learns to go to bed at night like other people, we know his days will be full of success. ZELLA MARGARET STOY V Hzeun A sweet little Finleyville lass, Zella Within these four years has captured a fella: He prints very often, for us, our 'Flame, And we don't think it necessary to write his name. French Club Zella, the belle of the Chemistry Class, is another one of us. Altho her mind is usually at the other end of town, she is always ready to take part in anything that is going on. We wonder if she will be a school teacher or -what? ' :Sta gg V , KN 8 ., rig' . iff 3.15-:ll iv' X:-I-A . gh.

Football Manager, Senior Basketball, Cheer Leader Jimmy is a good all-round boy. His pop- ularity and willingness to participate in any activities make him an ideal class- mate. 'Tis rumored Jimmy intends to buy the Pittsburgh Railway Co., in order to save the forty cents a week Finleyville fare. Watch Jimmy make Pitt sit up and take no- tice next year. ELDA LOU ISE MERU SI Elda This black-haired lass New 'Eagle's pride At her wedding who'll be at her side? Civic Club, Ring Committee Elda has good taste as is shown by the rings the Seniors are wearing. She has her heart set on winning a certain Pitt lad, a last year's alumnus by the way. Her social and scholastic ability have been large assets in winning her a position of great influence in our class. NVQ wish her well. ROBERT EARNEST XVHITE r.B0b,, This straight boy from New Eagle hails, To get his work, he never fails. ? ? Bob has made himself an essential to our class. He has readily taken part in our school activities and athletics. Bob, as yet, has been able to steer clear of the girls. but we feel this can't continue. His good looks are only excelled by his love t?J for studying. M ,X RGARET COOKE SEAMAN Miss Peggy Seaman So YIHDDY and gay, Bzings pleasure to us ln our school work, each day. Peggy is another one of our blues chas- ers. She is always ready to laugh and add her little bit to what ever is going on. From the present and past, we may draw our con- clusions that some day she will make a cheerful pal to someone. QQ ME AE -. ., . Wi K ,Q ggi?

French Club Have a smile for every one you meet, seems to be Jessie's favorite song. At least she suits her actions to these words. We as yet do not know what he has chosen as her life work but whatever it may be we wish her success. JESSIE RUTH NEIDERMEYER Jessica The smallest miss that's in our class, But we all like this jolly lass. Jessie hails from Catsburg. 'She's another of our bright Commercial students. She helps them run the bank every day or two. VVe wish her good luck whether it be stenog- raphy or matrimony. PAUL JESSE HILL Hades', Passions which seem somewhat calmed Civic Club An angel from blazes. Hades is quiet but popular. He is one of the best known students in our school. His perpetual smile and quiet nature betray his mischievious character. Hades is going to camp this summer to receive military instructions and we're sure that he would make a good officer. VIRGINIA IOLA MINGER Minger, Skinny, T0ots French Club Virginia has little to say, but actions speak louder than words. Her sympathetic smile accompanied by a kind word disperse our worries and make us happy. If the earth were populated with people of this nature, the ancient dream of a Utopian would be realized. me SUSE? his .... , W E - - .ei . Z' ' .w 5. H lf: if 'Qi' .

She doesn't feel hurt when someone calls her shorty. W9 know Laura will make a hit when she teaches the kiddies in a rural school. Good luck, Laura. LILLIAN ESTHER KATHERINE ZANOTTI ..Li1,, Lil is the quietest lass She'll be missed by the whole class. Lil hails from the wilds of New Eagle, Pa. Judging by the way the weaker sex falls for her she will not remain alone long. Lil hopes to be a school marm some day. We all wish her success. ALBERT HENRY ANGERMAN ..Rab,, Ever happy full of fun, Rab's a pal for every one. Here is another of our Catsburg Commer- cial students. We expect to see him as the stenographer of the Catsburg Coal Co., so don't be alarmed when their bills come to you all wrong. This king of the typewriter has the well wishes of the Senior class in his fu- ture work. MILDRED ANNETTA DAGUE r.Mid,, A quiet lass who does all her own work Not a bit the kind who is likely to shirk. Mildred is one of our bookkeeping sharks. She and Jessie work at the First National. Also they both like to skate, and now they like to stay in every night, to see Mr. Crane. In the future, Mildred, we wish you success. qi' R xg 5 ,:.:k,,x,.,,.. , f ..-f- . .ii h fi.

But maybe there is some attraction in both. She thinks she will be either a school teacher or a dancing instructor, but you never can tell? ? ? We wish you luck, Virginia. LLOYD THOMAS DEVORE Thomas Edison Ready to do his best at all times. Honor student, Civic Club, Class Lawyer This scientifically inclined classmate of ours is bound to make a name for himself next year at State. Lloyd's youth and size pro- nounce him the class child. But such a pre- cocious child! He is active and ready to do any school activity. The class of '25 wishes him success in his future work as a chemist. JOSEPHINE FAITH MIALE .,J0e,, Our dearly loved classmate, so fair and petite, Was there ever another so clever or sweet! 'Honor Student, French Club My, how the class of '25 will miss Josie, who is always helping someone with a dif- ficult lesson. No one has ever been known to see her frown or get angry. Therefore, she never lacks friends. VVe do not know what Josephine is going to do, but we are sure her winning ways will gain her success in what- ever she undertakes. SAMUEL JOHN BENEDICT Hsamyn Hsquawo, HMOCOH Across the bridge at break of day One sees Sammy making his wayg Through the wintry blasts that blow down the river, N It wouldn't hurt Sammy to ride a flivver. Captain Basketball, Football, Baseball Squaw hails from Axleton but this has not kept him from starring on all our teams. 1-Ie's a very modest boy in class, but you can't tell a book by its cover! ' PAULINE VIRGINIA SUTMAN Pauline 'iFor nature made her what she is, Ann' never made anither. French Club Pauline has been one of our faithful and willing workers throughout our four years. Pauline is ever-ready to do anything-even get her lessons. We will never forget her. A :i i A man ' Wag E L E -'Kass . ..., ..A..:, .R t 'stu EVELYN EDITH JONES Evelyn A quiet, demure little belle, Not much for men-yet, but who can tell? Evelyn is going to tap the keys on a type- writer. She is a good natured kid and is al- ways silent except when she gets mad-then, -well, she is not, We wish her success in the future. BLANC HE CLARK PARKINSON Blanche To know her is to love her French Club This charming lass is quite an asset to our class both by her looks and her activities. Somebody will have a nice name some day. We wonder who will be 'tpapa? She is conscientious in her Work, and we expect her to continue such in l1er future endeavor. ETTORE EUGENE SILVAGNI Chick This young man from Park Avenue hails, Success to him where e'er he sails? Senior Basketball This product of the Commercial class is a hard-working, earnest youngster, but this does not prohibit him from having a good time. His ambition is to be cashier in the Park Avenue Trust Co., so you'll know the reason why the bank may have to close its doors. XVe sincerely wish Chick a happy, future life. CLIVE ANN KESTERSON Ollie Peppy and alive is our good natured pal, Always ready to helpg just a real nice gal. Olive has assisted in the cafeteria all year. She and Dot have slipped us many an extra bean now and then. She and Dot spend most of their time thinking up new pranks to play on a few of the teachers. She is another of our good business women, and the class wishes her success in whatever she takes up. ri 2 N' ,..,. . 4 A 5,5 pgs 'M . neu an LAME s i R' ,, , f s - gigs any .. gnu , , A VIOLA BELLE MclNTYRE Wee-0la Here is another of our classmates, too, Success to you, whatever you do. Viola has never been late once this year? ? We were going to have her and Ardelia play a duet in chapel, but sad to say we never had the chance, because they quit having chapel. The class wishes you success in the years to come. MARIE PEARL ARMSTRONG Marie Silence is golden. Here is another of the Finleyville bunch. Marie has worked hard for four long years and now has her reward. She stands well up to the front in a class of eighty five, which is some accomplishment. Success to her. , RACHAEL MILDRED NAYLOR Silence is golden This creed is believed and well carried out by Rachael. Although her ambition is yet unknown to us, it will most certainly be achieved. Good luck to you. VICTORIA PATERLINI Uvicn As quiet, as she is small, We hardly know she's here at all. French Club Victoria's highest ambition is to be a school teacher. Whether this is her idea of taking revenge upon the human race for past years, or whether she wishes to impart her knowl- edge to willing listeners, we do not know. No matter which it is, we all feel the same way, Victoria! egi,L giiffffiif ' , . .. use 4.

When it comes to work there is never too much nor too hard work for her. It is our opinion that Jean would make a good politician as was shown by some of the discussions in P. O. D. Jean's ambi- tion is to become a teacher but we think that there are some farmers out the pike who would prefer to have her cook their grub. MARY KATHERINE VVY ETH llMaryf, Mary and Beryl are as twins, you know, They never have 'trouble in finding a beau. Altho' Mary is small, that has not kept her from keeping right up to the rest of us, in our senior activities. Mary always seems to be in a hurry, especially about 8:45 a. m., when she is unusually so. It has often been wondered how she and Beryl could possibly find so much to talk about. HARRY EUGENE POWER uuyuggyy, Right is might. Football, Senior Basketball Juggy hails from Fourth street. He is always ready to dispute when he feels he knows the truth. His bright and shining head is an emblem of superior intelligence, and acute perception. Juggy is not only well known and liked in school but he is a prominent farmer. We predict that a coun- try inhabited by farmers as keen as he, would soon remedy the farm problem. BERYL DEWALT YOHE uBeI,y1n A carefree miss is our friend Beryl, Fond of the boys, and a peach of a girl. Debating Team Beryl has been a member of our class off and on for four years, when she hasn't been sojourning in Atlanta, Cincinnati, or New Eagle. One of her greatest characteristics is the ability to find countless subjects to talk over with Mary. Wonder what they find so much to talk about. We predict a bright future for Mrs. Beryl -. eeeeliciiglvfssr we pf H AME. ,2, 'few-.. , 4-alll A , A . zffsu z-, m aif P22 2 H l . .. - fi gs L, W v RED i an if 'felfi Q , 1 . . f 5' RWM J .

Never before in the history of the Monongahela High School did anyone come so near being a martyr for the sake of school athletics. Ruth works hard and has earned the popularity she now pos- sesses. We attribute the recovery to her am- bitious, persevering nature. H AZEL BELLE M-ILHOAN This little miss, in a Ford, rides from home, And you always can see her riding alone. XVhether it is Hazel's or her Ford's fault that she is so often one of the 8:47 a. m. ar- rivers, we do not know. However, we are willing to excuse such a quiet little miss. We haven't heard what Hazel intends to be, but nevertheless we wish her luck. HARRY FOSTER GILLIE Carbon No farmer he, tho' from a farmer's town, lf kings were good-natured he'd wear a crown. This fun-loving chap is a never ending source of delight to his Chemistry classmates and a constant annoyance to Mac. He has a Buick which he hardly ever runs? His highest ambition is to be Mayor of Courtney. NVe have no doubt but what he will achieve it. Good luck. AMANDA REBECCA SCOTT ..BeCkyn Sort of Frenchie is she, For setting styles for Mon. City. Altho' we do not see much of Rebecca, we have learned to like her and appreciate her occasional visits to school. She has taken a prominent part in some of our dramatic plays, and we are sure that we shall sometime hear of her featuring as a leading lady on Broadway. RWM uv' , 'FE W 4-an ALBERT PETER TOSI Ake, Al, Coach. Here's to Al , from Catsburg town, NVho never was known to worry or frown. Honor Student, Baseball Al is a member of that now famous duo, the Tosi brothers. His red hair is the teach- ers' only means of distinguishing him from his younger brother. This leader in fun- making among the Commercial students will be sadly missed by his teachers. Luck to AL ETHEL MATILDA HARGEST Ethel Ethel is small, with not much to say, We all feel sure she'll succeed some day. Ethel comes clear up from Pittsburgh every Monday morning so she can come to school in M. H. S. That shows .what she thinks of us. She is always talking about him-we wonder who he is? ? ? The class wishes her good luck in whatever she does. JOHN SELMEN PLVMMER YOUNG Johnny Let others have their Pegs and Sals, I'll take one of the Riverview gals. John lives in that live city, Riverview. His greatest ambition is to become mayor of that said city and also hubby of the said Riv- erview girl. Luck to you, John. DOROTHY HAYVVOOD ROBINSON ..D0t,, Jolly, Winsome, little Dot, VVhenever you need her she's on the spot. Flame Staff, Debating Team Dot is one of our best commercial stu- dents. She expects to keep books, but we have our doubts because Wib might hire her to keep house. Dot is popular with all of the boys, but we all know that she is a man- hater. ? ? '? She is one of the girls who has helped save quite a few from starvation dur- ing the winter. We wish her good luck. , ' A,'L .. 31 , - ' A i fn' 'T ' ... fi .i Q - ...

He seems especially interested in Nel. His greatest desire is to become a shiek like Billy. Nevertheless they all fall for him sooner or later. Luck to you, Pip. LULA ELDRED MOUNTAIN Lula Lula is one of our fairest lasses, Whose greatest desire is to become a Mrs, Lula is our tall blonde classmate from Courtney. From appearances her ambition will probably be reached. Eh, Charles? We all wish her success anyhow. WILLIAM MATTHEW GAMBLE Ivory One of our true blue friends, IS blushing Bill. Bill is a firm believer of that adage, Speak only when spoken to, which accounts for his quietness. A certain dark haired girl of the Senior class seems to occupy a good bit of his time. How about it Bill? Luck to you. MARY ELIZABETH GATES upouyrt Speaks when she is spoken to And never- out of turn. Mary is one of the numerous quiet girls ftry and find themj of our class. As she never has much to say we really don't know so much about her.

VOL VIII Commencement Number No. 3 FAREVVELL The time has come for the Class of '25 to leave M. H. S. In bidding farewell, we wish to speak first of our highly esteemed faculty members. They have afforded us so much assistance, that we owe to them respect, gratitude and admiration. They have helped and guided us over the difficult places in our high school course. That we are leaving as graduates and as proud possessors of our diplomas, is in a great measure, the result of the faculty's efforts. We sincerely regret to leave our friends, the lower classmen. They have made up a. happy part of our school life, and through our association with them we were often spurred on by their cheerful, good-natured spirit. We have tried to be an example to them so we hope that they will follow in our footsteps and succeed in reaching the goal of high school life We have a kindly feeling for the Board of Education and the citizens of Monongahela. They have made it possible for us to have this wonderful new school from which we are very proud to be the first to graduate. Although graduation day is one of the hap- piest times in our school life, it is also one of the saddest times. Now we must separate from our classmates and depart from our happy-go-lucky ways, to take upon ourselves the more serious burdens of life. Classmates: We are leaving high school together.. Each will choose his own vocation and some of us may never meet again. We shall have our own interests and experience our own defeats and victories. But, the memory of these happy carefree days will al- ways go with us, and we will be better equipped for life's experiences because we have known each other. . As a last farewell, we extend to you, towns- people, classmates and faculty, our sincere thanks, together with our greatest apprecia- tion for all that you have done toward mak- ing our high school life a happy and success- ful one. -JESSIE MCCHAIN '25 FAREVVELL, SENIORS The time of parting is here. It brings with it a deeper realization of the loss which the school will suffer when you are gone. The task of refilling the vacancies which your class leaves will be a difficult one. You have done your full share in upholding the tradi- tions of M. H. S. in athletics and studies. Now you have your way to make in the world. You have as a foundation for your future life, the knowledge which your teach- ers have endeavored and succeeded in giving to you, you have youth's hope, energy and ambition. , . .Q r w-ff f.xx'- New-A N ' I I R LAM E ' STA FF 4414 I1 athry K tt, I'IIlO Q D Mc XVillia1n Mcfihain, Ross, Jess e Charles iightj -- L01 Left C 0 VV R ttom Bo hart.

Yes, we say. We know that you will do your part for the sake of your school. Live up to your motto: Not finished but just begun, Life is now our school. Your motto has the right spirit for a class. Will you keep it up when you have left M. H. S.? Keep up your class organiza- tion, make yourself examples to the pupils in future graduating classes. Again we bid you farewell, we will not for- get you but hope that you as a class will make your mark on life's record and that we may in some measure fill the vacancy which is left, with as much spirit and ability which you did. -LEANORA O'NEIL '26, BITS OF ADVICE TO: S-uccess of life may depend upon one wise choice. E-mpty vessels make the most noise. N-ever too old to learn. l-ll news comes apace. O-ne flower makes no garland. R-ome was not built in a day. S-ell' praise is no recommendation. O-ne bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. F-ools despise wisdom and instruction. M-any are called but few are chosen. H--onesty is the best policy. S-uit the action to the word. T-he tree does not fall at the first stroke. W-ell begun is half done. E-very question requires not an answer. N--o one is born a master. T-he end crowns all. Y-ield not to temptations. F-ear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge. I-ts easier to pull down than to build up. V-ice comes from idleness. E---mploy your time well. -LILLIAN ZANOTTI '25, Susquehanna University, I Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. Greetings to the Class of '25: I take this means of conveying to you a few thoughts on your graduation from old or rather, I should say new M. H. S. You are about to close one of the doors of Yes- -terday. On Commencement Eve it will have closed forever and then, you will see it swing outward, will find emblazoned on it in 1 huge aurora of .light-TOMORROW. Tomor- row, which means opportunities, new ideals. a new understanding, a renewed hope to ad- vance and to succeed. You are now facing the big and vital problem of what to do with your life. Every one of you has equal opportunities to make your life worth while. You, each one of you, canie into this world like the rest of us-no better, no worse. lt 1i's dormant within you, you say, to rise to unscaled heights or to wade through the deepest mire. And it is this same you who shall account to yourself and God alone, whether you. have done well with your life. To have failed is no dis- grace: not to have striven-therein lies the shame. . The ideals of the future shall be no more the ideals of the present, than those of to- day resemble the out worn ones of yesterday. He who cherishes the self-same ideals his life long, is a poor creature indeed, stagnant, in- capable of growth, of expansion whatsoever. It is well to have ideals but one must allow them to grow and to expand into greater and better ones. Let not your bark keep to the shore but sound the depths of mid-ocean. Rather that, storm-tossed too tempestuously, you would sink gloriously, than that you would gradually decay and rot and fall to pieces in the stagnant breakwater. At the close of this somewhat rambling letter I wish to leave this last thought, that my conception of an adopted ideal of a great man or woman is one who does not con- demn what he does not understand. With heart-felt wishes for your success, I am, Sincerely yours, Holger H. Henius, '22. THE ANNUAL PLEA About this time of the year, it has become the annual custom of the departing staff members to recommend compulsory contribu- tions as the only solution to the problem of securing material for the s6hool magazine. They realize, after passing through a year of lean contributions, that the only way to make The Red and White Flame representative of the school, is by requiring some contribu- tion, however small, from every student. Each new editor throws aside the question with a shrug of his shoulders, thinking perhaps, that his own efforts and those of the staff members will be sufficient-to fill every page in the book. He soon learns, however, that this thought is as misleading as it is selfish. In the first place he and his staff cannot afford to put an exceptional amount of time on the writing of the material, for their stud- ies are more important than their magazine. In the second place, it is not the staff mem- bers' business to prepare every bit of the copy for each issue: the Flame is a student publication and each student reserves the right to have something of his own in it. The carrying out of the plan should be simpler than one would suppose. Each Eng- lish teacher could require some written work to be handed in every week, and they would select suitable material from these contribu- tions. With a system such as this, no worry will be felt about the contents of each issue and Monongahela High could rest content that her student publication ranks with the best in the state. It's worth trying, anyhow! I N.,. A x ' 'RED A - -A ,.,Q 1 'Biff . ' LA W 5 t - 'Y' nl. ' 1 9 3-14 , xx' QE? ob VE W em U nr- Il Jeff? G fi? X X: ff ff H I . ffolf, .L 'J , K nl Q KQWETQ Ti ?

H. S. We were enrolled as the Freshman Class. We had passed a big milestone on our path of life. After we were duly initiated by the Sophomores we began in earnest, studies very different from those that we had had in the grades. In October we paused from our labors and together with the Sophomores held a Hal- loweien party. After struggling diligently with Latin and Algebra for nine months we were given a much longed-for vacation. After three months of leisure we were again assembled in M. H. S. but this time we were Sophomores. Of course, we felt it our duty to initiate the green Freshies on their faces and hands with a red liquid. Our num- ber had dwindled somewhat but we were still the samg old carefree crowd. After fighting a doubtful battle with Biology and History that winter most of us were informed that in the Fall of 1923 we would be Upper Class- men. As Juniors we first became recognized as important factors in the daily life of H. H. S. Many of our classmates have reached the highest point of success in high school athlet- ics and have received the much-prized school letter. A new system of clubs was organized and we as Juniors took an active part in them. Two plays were presented by the class, Souvenir Spoons given to the Parent-Teach- ers Association in the High School Auditori- um, and Miss Oliver's Dollars presented to the student body in Assembly. After playing our part in the graduation of the Class of '24, we ourselves became digni- fied Seniors and immediately entered upon the duties of that august body. On Septem- ber 26. 1924 the Class of '25 met and or- ganized. VVilliam McDermott was chosen president. Then followed the general routine of affairs, the selection of rings, colors, flow- er, banner and motto. A very enjoyable party was given on February 20 by the class in the new gymnasium. We, the Seniors of 1925, are the largest class that has ever been graduated from the Monongahela City High School and we, also, have the honor of being the first to be grad- uated f1'om the new building. --lean Pieper. FRICSHMAN HISTORY Two hundred enthusiastic boys and girls entered old M. H. S. in September 1924. They were known as Freshmen and surely lived up to their name iso the Seniors thoughtl. After the long dreaded initiation had been passed they attempted to settle down to the High School routine. This however they found difficult as the jump from the grades to a class where the work was almost entirely different caused many to drop by the wayside. Many were dis- couraged at first but stuck to it with a. will and managed to come through. We were fortunate in securing such capable teachers to instruct us, or the now large list of failures would surely have been larger. Miss Wilkinson, Miss Richardson, Mr. Hawk- ins, Mr. Bleiler, Mr. Harvey, Miss Kline and Mr. Weirman proved very great helps to us in mastering our subjects. It is very difficult to divide and classify the various individuals in a Freshman class and point out the merits of each as bright, athletic, etc., so we will not venture to do so but we may say that We have many promising lads and lassies to qualify for every position and we will endeavor to show it as Sopho- mores next year. Sophomoreship is our present goal and the one we expect to reach next year. We are all ready dreaming of waging Caesars battles for him, to hunt the lovely creatures of na- ture ibig snakesl in their native haunts, to learn that there ain't such a word as ain't and several new things in History, also to up- set the dope and shine in Algebra. Like all others we will patiently wait for September 1925 when we hope to gladly wel- come tl1e coming Freshmen into the secret phenomenon of the organization Freshmen, At present we are all trying to figure out the questions: Why do so many Freshmen like to take English from Miss Wilkinson? Why Mr. Harvey is so unpopular with the gi-ils? Where does Mr. Weirman go in his new Chevrolet? etc., etc., etc. There has been much interest in the mak- ing of a successful banking year in old M. H. S. Two rooms: Nos. 101 and 103 have staged two contests for the largest banking percent- age for a given time. The loser was to treat the other class to a dinner. lt ended n Miss Kline's class buying the feed. The use of the Literary Digest was intro- duced into the History and English class by Mr. Hawkins and Miss Wilkinson, respective- ly. and has proven a great success, as it en- ables students to see what their own govern- ment is doing and not what Babylon did 2000 years ago. Mr. Harvey introduced inter-class basket- ball to the various classes. It was greatly en- joyed by the majority and we hope to have it next year. It helped to develop some future players who may bring the sausage home in years to come. The examinations are coming and most of the present Freshmen hope that they will come out on the big end of the count CE and Al just once more and to advance one step closer to that wonderful year '28. We can almost picture ourselves as Seniors already. RED AM E H - . 1. ff ,1 .i 1'g.E:1i. 5' ' snags F wr ef- - 3 .. - A . HISTORY OF CLASS OF '27 Over two hundred enthusiastic girls and boys entered old M. H. S. in September 1923. lt seemed a glorious accomplishment for us to enter the Central building, which had 'turned out so many honor students. Of course, you all know the famous name we were given- The Freshiesf' After a regu- lar initiation with iodine paint, we looked like cousins of the Great Indian War Chief. We were assigned our various rooms, but found it difficult, indeed, to find them a sec- ond time. To tell the absolute truth, we were lost in the large building. When we were introduced to our opponents in the battle, they were as follows: History, Civics and English we must take but we had our choice of Algebra, Mathematics, Latin or Science. Our first step in social life was a Hallow- e'en party given at the Waverly School build- ing. The evening was spent in dancing, and playing games. At the late hour of eleven o'clock, the dainty refreshments were served: then we journeyed home. Success for this party was due to the efforts of Miss Tarr, Mr. Fagan, Miss Kline, Mr. Mclsaac, and Mr. Kahle. In January we had to encounter our final exams in which our opponents failed to win The second semester passed quickly, as we spent most of our time aggravating the teach- ers. But on September 1924 we rose to the height of pride in our class. ln other words we became full fledged Sophomores whom we thought. could rule the whole school and would, if we wished. We did rule all Freshies but they never received the famous initiation which goes to all new students for Mr. Crane had forbidden the use of iodine in school pranks. Most of our Sophomore students went bugs in Biology fpardonia ma-as the Jun- iors say-went after bugsj. Under the ef- ficient guide of Miss Bailey we have come more and more to understand and appreciate the wonders of nature. Miss Miller had aided us in getting a better understanding of the languages of the An- cient Romans and has prepared us for a firm- er foundation for our future work in Caesar, Virgil and Cicero. Miss Steel has taught us to appreciate the physical, intellectual, and moral progress of the world. Miss Graver has given us a deeper insight into the beauties of English literature. Mr. Kahle has taught us to reason more clearly in Mathematics. W'ith the great aid of our teachers we have been able to advance in our high school work. We are now over two hundred strong and next September we will take our places as Juniors. Speed the day! JUNIOR HISTORY 26 On Monday morning, September 2, 1922, a group of green looking Freshmen assembled at the Central building. We were given our various rooms and schedules. The two big events of the year were the initiation ivia the iodine methodl, and the Freshmen Hallowe'en party. The majority of us got through and were back again in 1923-24. as Sophomores. We were more used to High School routine and consequently were more studious. During this year school ulcbs were introduced by Mr. Crane and other members of the faculty. These provided much entertainment and at the same time taught us the fundamentals of parliamentary law and the general manner in which the clubs were carried on. It would not be right to pass on without mentioning of the organization known as the N. O. B. B. This club had as members s tudents of the High school but were not connected with the High school. The members were always out at any athletic events to cheer our favorites to victory. The name is still a mystery to those who did not belong. Then came our third year. VVe were back over a hundred strong. This time we had the pleasure of entering the new High school. With almost everything we needed for study we went to work with out much of an effort. We will not be disappointed fro the time we have spent on our subjects this year. After the second semester began Mr. Crane allowed us to elect officers and also to have a Junior party. The election resulted as follows: George Howe, the well known saxaphonist, was elected to the presidencyg next came Rob- ert Carr as vice president. Helen Perry was selected as treasurer and Wayne Donahue as secretary. Class colors of cerise and yellow were de- cided upon for the year. ' It is needless to say anything of the Junior party, except a word of thanks to the com- mittee who worked so diligently to put it across. And under the direction of the faculty ad- visors, Mr. Mclsaac and Miss Richardson, we hope to put a real treat across to the Seniors whose place we shall take next year. --Wayne Donahue.

LITERLKRY THE HOUSE OF SEVEN STABLES Many decades ago, there was situated in a desolate place, on the side of a gorge, which is now known as Coon Hollow, a house of sev- en stables. This house was perfect in design, being constructed of soft aluminum bricks. The house was inhabited by no one, since ev- ery family which formerly lived here, had ex- perienced a tragedy. One day, a prosperous speculator, by the name of Gus Gum, appear- ed on the estate, and thought it would be profitable to invest in this property, since the price was exceedingly low. The deed was duly recorded and Gus Gum took immediate possession of the estate, not knowing it was haunted. The legend goes that, so far as record is concerned, every family living in this house had lost the elder son, by some ill omen which was cast upon the' estate. Now, Gus Gum had a very notable character in the per- sonage of his son, Bopatch. Learning of his plight, and also considering the fact that the last three families to live here had left in destitution, Bopatch was inclined to find out for himself the cause of the tragedies-with- out his father knowing the fact. So inclined, he went to stable number sev- en to spend the night. The next morning he was found lying directly below the second story window with his skull cracked. When Gus Gum was appraised of the fate of his son he was aroused to avfit of anger. He com- municated at once with a world renowned de- tective from the boardwalks of Chicago, one Mr. Boswald Phillips by name. Phillips took up the case immediately and was aided by his colleague, Eightball Balas, renowned throughout New Eagle, Courtney, Black Dia- mond and other large cities. There was no clue whatever, The two in- vestigators proceeded upstairs to the window from which the victim had some how de- scended. The situation proved most baffling. The glass in the window was broken on both sides, a condition which was never before known to exist. Phillips had solved many mysteries, but this topped them all. Eight- ball was amused as Boswald remarked that clues were as abundant as butterflies in Alaska. The two investigators worked and ponder- ed and could attain no results. Finally they decided that the only thing left to do was to spend a night in the stable. Accordingly they prepared for the eventful evening. The night came and they adjourned to the stable, jjust as Boswald's watch struck nine. He en- tered the stable, followed by Eightball. As they settled down, strange noises were heard coming from up-stairs, and Boswald urged Eightball to proceed up the ladder which led to the second floor. Eightball was prac- tical and an ambitious young man, so he hes- itated not. He ascended to the second floor, first persuading Boswald to follow him close- ly, since he was beginning to feel a cold sweat behind the ears. Boswald suggested that they both station themselves in opposite corners and wait for something to happen. This they did. Every thing was now quiet and nothing heard but the watch, which rang out 10 o'clock. Soon it became eleven and finally thirteen. Nothing had happened to the two investifators, but the seconds flying before their eyes seemed like weeks. They remained in their corners until the rising sun of the next day revealed them. They were safe and nothing had happened--but they had not yet fulfilled their mission. There were still six other stables, which meant six nights of ter- ror and darkness. They were brave young detectives, so they were willing to spend the next night in stable number six, and, if noth- ing happened they would spend an evening in each stable until they discovered the cause of the tragedy. The next night came, and, as they were quite unwilling to be termed pikers, they pro- ceeded to the stable. They were beginning to get up a little courage however, since they had had one night's experience. Their plans were the same as the night before. However, when they tried to get to the second floor, they found there were no means by which to get up. This stable was some what dilapi- dated ancl really had only one floor, as they soon discovered. They spent the night on the ground floor in much the same positions as they had the previous night. Again the watch caused a disturbance by clapping its hands, indicating the early hours of morn- ing. Finally the sun threw streams of light through the cut glass windows. The detec- tives were disgusted,. but stayed with their job. It is unnecessary to relate the experience of the next four nights, since they were some- what similar. But lo! there was one stable which seemed to be most haunted of all. stable number one. It was in perfect condition when built, but, was now past recognition. However, it sup- ported itself, since it was well constructed of hemlock, stone which has never been known to rust or corrode in any way. Still the roof was bad, and the atmosphere indicated rain. There were twenty-one windows in all, and about seventeen doors, but the hinges on the windows were so rusty and the glass so com- pletely broken that admission by this means was impossible. The doors were all bolted but one, and this one was not there. Boswald examined all the doors and finally found one made of glass which was easily melted by Eightball with the use of a cigar stub, which he always carried with him. They glanced around a little while and prepared to return that evening. The night came as usual, after the day left. It was very dark, except for the lightning which now and then flashed a dim light. By the time they lead reached the sable it WHS RED ' LAME ...xxx 2 ..,,,Q. , F A r 'Q A Q - 4 .... . se:-ff i , .. : mil A Vk,L: V V35 N-s, JNMRQN-I , A I Y w Q- Y .,., . ' M x - we , 3?,,e,-1 W .

It was raining water with great rapidity, and by the flickering light of the moon they could see around the setting of the stable very dim- ly. There were some queer noises in one end of the room, but you may be sure this was not the end through which they came. They found themselves in a miserable situation, just as the watch rang twenty-one, indicat- ing nine-thirty o'clock. There were all kind of things happening throughout that night-- as they do every night. The stars were shin- ing brightly and the rain was coming down in torrents, but nothing unusual occurred. They remained throughout the night and the next morning were just about to go to sleep but the sun came up and awakened them be- fore they closed their eyes. lt must be stated that the mystery was not solved, nor has it been solved yet, since they all lived very hap- pily after they moved away from this resi- dence. However, since it is not unlawful to enter- tain theories, Eightball was quite confident he had figured out how Bopatch met his un- timely end. It was his sneaking suspicion that the victim had bumped his head against some hard substance, unconsciously stagger- ed out the window, and finally ended up in the condition in which he was found. Any- how that's how Eightball solved the mys- tery when he wrote a book on it, sometime later. -Harlem Snyder, '2S. THE REST UE It was a dark night and raining hard. VVe lived along the bank of a creek that flows from the mountain thru densely wooded for- ests. VVe had started our fire and were sit- ting arours-l it eating apples and making candy, when out of the air came a sharp gun- like report. VVe rushed out, but as we could see no one, returned to our tent. That night everyone went to sleep, but I could not help thinking of that gun report. The next morn- ing I told my buddies about it and we decided to search around. VVe packed our things and, with our guns loaded, set off for the moun- tain trail. Going up we spied a giant moose and started in pursuit. It led us across the woods and into a stream. We did not want to get wet so We went around the island way. There were the moose prints plainly showing he had already been there. As we widened our search Roy called our attention to a piece of wood he had picked up. There was an inscription carved on it and it read, HELP, We were puzzled for a while and did not know what to do since the only way it could have gotten here was by way of the stream. This gave us a little hope of finding the one who fired the shot, so we started up stream. VVe followed a path, not knowing where we were going but which fin- ally led to a cave half way up the mountain. We entered it and found inside a flowing stream. Here we quenched our thirst and re- filled our canteens. As we turned away I noticed something coming down the stream. It was a block, with the same inscription up- on it. That night some of the boys built a. fire while the rest of us busied ourselves in pre- paring the eats The meal over, the night was divided into watches, each of us taking turns watching the fire. About 2 a. m. something alarmed Joe, and awakened us. He showed us the thing and Roy told us to be quiet. With trembling hands, we made torches from fire brands and inspected our nocturnal visitor. A great, shaggy wolf glared defiance at us through the friendly fire screen but finally disappeared. We could here something dripping from its body on the leaves and on the ground, and, after getting our seachlights working we found it out to be blood. For two hours we trailed the blood marks, emerging from the cave and leading to the bank of the stream. On the other side of the water we found the third message with the same inscription. Now we started to search harder than ever. After hunting for some time, Roy again spied the wolf but with a. boy's frail arm around its neck. The youngs- ter was so surprised he fell into a swoon. We rushed to where he was and after giving him first aid he opened his eyes, smiling wanly at us. His first question, naturally, was how we had come to find him. After explaining to him how we had heard the shot, found the blocks of wood and of our search for him, he sn1i'ingly inquired if we should like to hear his story. A boy friend and I came up here to keep from going to school. We built a shanty and got provisions. My boy friend thought he would attend to the trapping business. One night he took sick and I had to go for help, so he gave me the directions. I started out and did as he said and after about an hour's ride I thought I was on the wrong road so I started back. The next thing I' knew I was laying down a hundred yards from here. I tried to get up but I couldn't for my right leg was broken. After trying to find shelter by pulling myself along I saw that it was too much for me and I had to lie down. As I slept I felt something sniffing around me so I kept perfectly still. The thing lay down be- side ine and went to sleep. I opened my eyes and there in front of me I saw the giant wolf. I didn't know what to do and I don't know how I did it but l' trained it to bring me things to eat. Now, he said, I sup- pose you would like to know my name, and we all said yes, James Ring, my father, is the owner of a large factory and president of a ralroadf' We were amazed but told him we would take him back to our Camp, and later to his father. He took all our names and a few days after we all received a reward whch we were mighty glad to have. -Howard Keenan '28. ...in ..', ,G f 1 ss -V if .-pf. fi ye... W A R an U' 553 ff' 9' ' A-5.

Towner, Editor of The Daily Republican and Representative from this district in the State Legislature at Har- risburg. The latter is not a bona-fide mem- ber of the M. H. S. Alumni, but because he, like many another respected citizen of this community. graduated from the school of hard knocks, worked his way to the top and is now greatly interested in the work of the schools, we have adopted him and others like him, into our group. For this reason we so- licited an article with which he willingly complied. Robert Albright is well known to all M. H. S. students and lest he should forget that he is an alumni, in the worries of his daily rou- tine at the Municipal building, we requested that he say something to the graduating class. The years 1924 and 1925 will long remain as memorial years for Monongahela High School. During this time our new High School and Athletic Field have been com- pleted and today stand as a monument to the Wisdom and far sightedness of the citizens of Monongahela City. Situated as it is on a high elevation, it is the first bulding a stranger notices on enter- ing our city from the North and what could be more advantageous to a city than to ad- vertise to the world, that we place the educa- tion of our children foremost? Secondary to education, do we place the physical well being of our future citizens and with this in mind, an athletic field has been constructed, that will guarantee them for years to come a place to romp and play- something that was denied many of us a few years ago. This field was made possible, only by the co-ordination of every civic organization in our city and when this co-ordination can be secured, it has been proven that nothing is impossible in Monongahela that pertains to civic betterment. In behalf of the officials of Monongahela City, I want to congratulate the editoral staff of The Flame for the able manner in which the paper has been edited and also ev- ery member of the 1925 graduating class. Hoping that this is just a beginning of a life full of success and happiness. R. B. ALBRIGHT, '14, To the Graduating Class of 1925:- Heartiest congratulations! You have reached the first goal of your ambitions. You have finished the first lap of life's prepara- tion task. No matter how much of fame and fortune you may attain in the future, you will never be happier than you are today. The joys of High School life are the keenest joys that will come to you anywhere along 1ife's journey. XVith the abounding zest of youth, you will mark this-not as the end of the journey-but as a new starting point in education. Most of you will, I hope, be able to enter some higher institution of learning. But even there you will look back on the days when you so proudly wore the letters M. H. S., and your love for the old High School will deepen and sweeten as the years go by. Set your mark high. Do not be satis- fied with anything but the best. Hold a lofty vision. Bite off more than you can chewy Tackle more than you can dog Hitch your wagon to a star, Crack your whip-and there you are! ! Sincerely, CLAUDE E, TOWNER. Greetings, Graduates:- It is with extreme pleasure that the Alumni welcomes thelargest class that has ever rep- resented M. H. S. into its ranks. The mem- bers of the Class of 1925 will also have the honor of being the first class to graduate from the new high school. This class should indeed be proud of its achievements during the four years which they have attended the local high. Since matriculating in the local institution the members of the class have constantly en- deavored to reach greater heights until as the time draws -near for them to forsake old M. H. S. forever, they will have the satisfaction of knowing that, while as members of Mon- ongaliela High they did their best and that at all times they were constantly striving to reach the highest attainable pinnacle of per- fection. The Members of the Alumni are exceeding- ly proud of the Class of 1925, and of the rec- ords which they have made as members of the local school. We are indeed pleased to welcome these new members to our realm, and to tender to each individual member of the -class, our sincere best wishes for a long and happy career in whatever branch of endeavor they contemplate pursuing. Congratulations, Seniors. CHARLES YOHE, JR., '21 Fluslied with successes achieved during twelve years in school, particularly in the last four years, when they were High School students, eighty five members of the 1925 graduating class are eagerly awaiting their first real tussle with the world. Assured of a hearty welcome when they enter the Alum- ni, and, believing that the world is anxiously awaiting their arrival so as to heap honors upon them, they chaff under the apparent de- lay that comes at this time of the year when Class Night and Commencement exercises are Le ng held. They wish to be off, to do . , . nm AM E ' ian F' X . .'m,,' Q aa , ,...t,Lh -,. rg I 1 A something. Their's is the conception that the world is for them to conquer and they are anxious to be about it. They.do not realize that this firmament has withstood the as- saults of many like them, and that it still stands triumphant, although occasionally sat- isfying the most persistent of those who would subjugate her, with a success, that to her is insignificant, but which to the individ- ual and his immediate group, is all-surpass- ing. The idea that they are invincible has become a part of the mental makeup of the graduates but they will find that their mot- to, Not Finished-Just Begin. Life is Now Our School is more true than they realize. Success will not be denied them if they strive for it. But the hard knocks and the bitter lessons that they will learn in their new school will drive out all fancies and wonderful futures that they now picture. They will find that the ideas they now con- sider mature are but an embryo that experi- ence ill their new school will build into deeds which will compel the world to give the suc- cess that they now imagine is their's for the asking. The maturing of these ideas will come with work, push, grit, sticking ability and experience. Many will fall by the Way- side each year when they find the multi-col- ored futures, that they built like castles in the air while in school, fading under scowls of the grim spector of life itself. But those who have the ability to persist, to demand 8 success and who will not say die, will in the end come to a realization of the dreams, dreamed many years before, when they awaited graduation. In conclusion let me wish in behalf of the alumni, a success for each and every individ- ual member of the Class of 1925. May every one reach the goal they are now setting, however high it may be.

FAILS T0 PLACE IN PITT CONTEST V -..... Monongahela's scholastic team, entered in the Pitt Academic contests, May 2nd, met with even less success than her county de- bating team did. A hurriedly formed team of ten members, failed to win a single point. The contestants, however, are unanimous, in agreeing that the experience gained and the fine time enjoyed were ample payment for any trouble or expense in making the trip. The following persons were included in the team: Arnold Bautz, Wendell Carlson, Robert Carr, Wayne Donohue, Lloyd Devore, Jessie McChain, William McDermott, Albert Pacini, Dorothy Emmerling and Jean Peiper. It may be of nterest to local students to note that Samuel Weissburg, who attended M. H. S. up to the present semester, but now of Latrobe, won first prize in Physics and second prize in American History. CHAPEL NOTES The Music department provided the enter- tainment for the student body at chapel, April 30. The band and orchestra, directed by Mr. Replogle, each rendered several fine selections: the girls, boys and mixed chorus, under Miss Wilkinson were enthusiastically applauded. The male chorus, especially, with such superior singers as Sam Klingensmith, George Howe, John Zurlo and others, were highly honored by the weighty volumes of handclapping which rolled their way as they concluded each number. It is, indeed, a pity that lack of time pre- vents another such program. School was dismissed at 2:30 April 29th, out of respect to the late Dr. Becht, super- intendent of Education of Pennsylvania. Chapel service, lasting for twenty minutes was held immediately before dismissal. A short biographical sketch of the deceased ed- ucator, by Professor Crane, followed by a minute silence concluded the day's school. The speaker dwelt upon the peculiar situa- tion concerning public education in Pennsyl- vania and the difficulties each state superin- tendent has had to confront. Dr. Becht car- ried on the work and made his contribution to education in the commonwealth. Dr. Becht held several educational posi- tions of importance including the principal- ship of Clarion State Normal School and' su- perintendency of Lycoming County before go- ing to Harrisburg as deputy state superin- tendent. His efforts in the establishment of the teachers' retirement system and building up of a teachers' library were noteworthy. TEACHERS CONCLUDE MCKOWN COURSE The local teachers have finished their course in Education with Dr. H. C. McKown of the University of Pittsburgh. The good- natured, smiling professor has won a place in the hearts of teachers and students alike who are as one in regretting his departure. His frequent visits to class rooms, terrorizing the more timid, but sources of delight and enter- tainment to the greater majority, will be sad- ly missed. The Seniors in particular consid- er themselves as special frends of Dr. Mc- Kown since the day he and his handker- chiefs taught P. O. D. We can only hope he will be with us next year. VVASHINGTON COYNTY CONTEST On April 18, Monongahela sent her debat- ing team to the annual scholastic contest held at Washington and succeeded in win- ning one point. Our candidates were, for the most part, well drilled, having spent the preceding weeks in earnest practice. Finally, to give the most promising of the team some real experience, Edward Brady, Beryl Yohe, and Pauline Pieper delivered their pieces be- fore a very interested student body April 16. Jean Pieper won our only point, third place in extemporaneous speaking. Besides the above mentioned members of the team, Charles Ross, Arnold Bautz and Mary Dunmire made the trip. The following, contrary to all appear- ances, is not a puzzle. It is the outcome of a Latin letter writing contest among Miss Kline's Freshmen classes. Anyone wishing the English version of the same, would do well to see Miss Kline or the author. Monongahela Urbs, XV Dies ante diem Calens Maius MDCCCCXXV A. D.

The success of the play was largely due to Miss Edwards iwho has charge of the said rooml, and the girls, altho the boys put on their part of the performance with some suc- cess. Every one in the room was represented in the play. The play was made up and carried out by the actors and actresses in the following order. Slamsome the I-A typical strong man- Archie Caldwell. The Mechanicos-They imitated French, Mechanical Dolls-Miss lda Barkby, Miss Dor othy Emerling, Miss Virginia Graham, Miss Mary Haggerty, Misses H and S. Punchur. Madam Humane Schank-The marvelous operetta singer-Charles Yates. Miss Lotta Talent-An imitation of the modern girl of America, England, France and the Bowery of New York City-Charles Jones Each deserves high praise for their suc- cess, which in turn made the play a success as a whole. Through out most of the performance the Play Loud Band did their stuff directed by Mr. Great Effort alias Harry Hank. Every- one that did not make one of the named per- Kazoos were formances was in the band. their instruments and they surely added greatly to the entertainment. We extend our gratitude to the Scott boy who helped put Slamsome on the ladder of fame. He was the only person outside of our class in the acts. Helen Perry and Dorothy Myers acted as clowns through out the whole performance imitating each act as it was being played. This aided greatly to the successful effect of the play. CIVIC CLUB Inspired by the teachings in P. 0. D., and American History, the two upper classes of Monongahela High decided to organize a Civ- ic Club. Progress were made along this line till the U. K. Civic Club now holds an im- portant position in student activities. Several meetings were held during which a constitution was devised and the following officers were elected: President-Arnold Bautz. Vice President-George Howe. Secretary-Treasurer--Charles Ross. Mr. Faculty is the faculty advisor and un- der his competent supervision muc his being done in acquainting the members with thc responsibilities of good citizenship. RU-OM ECHAPEL EXERCISES This year chapel services were mainly in charge of the individual rooms. Room 2 was given the first chance to entertain the other rooms. As we were first, and had to perform on such short notice our entertainment was not worked up as well as it might have been. We knew it was up to us to set the pace and having this in mind made the pupils of Room Two, work all the harder. Our program consisted of three parts. The first part consisted of a doctor stunt in which short and fat people were made tall and lean and tall and leant people were made short and fat. The people who took part in this did very well. This was something different from the usual stunts that are gone through. The second part of the program was in charge of Prof. Roomtwovian, who gave sev- eral selections on the human pipe organ. This organ walked out of the museum at Pitts- bungh. The third and last part of the program consisted of a Mosaroni ceremony. This was the hit of the program. The participants were dressed in their Sunday best. This is a way of assisting pupils to act be- fore an audience and the students in Room 2 as well as the rest of the rooms are to be commended for their work in the programs. UNUSUAL SENIOR FEATURES This year's Senior class has several dis- tinctive features not ordinarily seen in a graduating class. First, it contains eighty- five members, by far the largest class to ever graduate from M. H. S. Among these eighty- five members, there are no fewer than five sets of sisters or brothers, the Gregory twins, Mary and Homer Gates, Alfred and Albert Tosi, Lillian and Linda Zanotti and Jean and Pauline Pieper comprising this unique list. The two Zanotti sisters, together with Ken- neth Shaver, were unusually honored by com- pleting their courses in three years. Lillian Zanotti is the youngest girl in the class while Lloyd Devore holds a similar distinction among the boys. Finally the greatest honor that could come to a graduating class is ours -the first to have ever graduated from the new High school. May the fame and honor of the glorious Class of '25 never be dimmed! ... -'w- -. an a - bi' ' ' A haf ..

The leader of the Clan was bold, And many stories oft' were told How he had won full many a fight Without using e'er half his might. How in single combat fine He had killed an army, line by line: How he held kings upon their thrones How he made mad monsters moan. How with a trumpet and a heave of his breast He roused the crag-eagle from its nest, How he without harm to a. hair Had bearded a lion within its lair. Klansmen also did relate Stories of his awful hate Of Douglas of Firth, an Irish lord, Noted for his wealthy hoard. Of how with vengeance he had sworn To attack this lord and burn his corn, To deprive him of life and land, At a single stroke of his mighty hand. But,,this Irish lord was Very wise: He rented a castle up near the skies, Commanding that narrow pass WVhere Douglas I' had met his last. Our noble leader, tho bold and brave, Swore and cursed and cursed and raved, In now way shape or no way form Could he do this lord great harm. Till at last, he conceived a plan, He summoned together all his clan, And. with speeches short and brief He let them know that he was chief. He gave them orders, when and how They were to mount the castle's brow, In words of a savant, learned and wise He spoke to men of huge bulk and size. In this castle, food is stored Along with this wealthy hoard, Now Easter's coming and so's the rent, And just before Easter comes Lent. During Lent his soldiers must fast, Then we will attack if you but dast, For then his soldiers will be weak and spent From fasting through the season of Lent. The plan was tried and worked quite Well, The lord was killed--sent to-, From the food was made an Easter cake, Which was passed around from face to face. The wealthy hoard the leader kept, And one nght while Clan Theroll slept The money and he did disappear, No trace was found, far or near. R. A. C., '25.

I will not work-be paid by the hour, A poet, giddy, but with gladness gay I want to pass the hours away. Not in tedious toil or haste, Not in pleasures shall I' life waste, But by some small and plain brook, Let me'be found beside my book.

'Tis Spring. and Love is here Life's greatest gift lurkes near, Come ye all and join the fold Where love reveals it's joy untold. ln all our life, no gift divine Surpasses love, His gift sublime, Not the flowers that bloom in spring Nor the gleeful birds that sing, Nothing ever, from the hour of birth Till Death leads us from this fitful Earth, Can surplant this quality so filled With plea- sure. Just Love,-Countless joys without measure. Dreams are dreamed, Care cast aside, Aims are high, with Love as guide, Love gives us his tender, smile He shows us kindness all the while. Love whispers soft of bliss new found, Our heart in ectasy abound. Hope, Thoughtfulness and Sympathy are -gifts of Love, What greater gift is 'ere bestowed by Him who dwells above? Love makes this world worth living in, It lightens the sorrow and the sin, It takes away the frightful things And in their stead bright beauty brings. Love helps us through the trials we meet, It strengthens us and steers our feet. He who misses love in life, Must suffer unrest, pain and strife. Put Love in your heart, and enter the fight, You'll win the Battle of Evil for Right. For the greatest gift from God above, Is Llfe-When in Life, the1'e's Love. B.

While he has been with use for but two short years, yet a feeling of friendship has sprung up between this esteemed athlete and the student body which cannot easily be dispersed with. Coming to us from Carnegie Tech two years ago where he gained wide fame as a football star, he has made athletic history in M. H. S. Under his competent tutelage, athletic teams which upheld the standards of M. H. S. to the finest degree were turned out. As a departing remem- brance he was unanimously elected to honor- ary membership in the Mm club. The well wishes of the faculty and student body go with our departing friend to his new position at Monessen. INTERCLASS BASKETBALL After an absence of two years, interclass basketball has again taken its place as a High School athletic activity. The season this year was a genuine success, as was evidenced by the well played games and well filled stands. A series of twelve games was played, which resulted in the Seniors winning the championship, with six victories and no de- feats. The Freshmen surprised the students by putting a splendid team on the floor and winning second place. The Juniors finished third and the Sophomores last. Much of the credit for the success of this interclass sea- son was due to the efforts of Coach William Harvey, of the faculty, whose interest for the students and the game caused him to take up- on himself the arduous task of coaching all four teams. The spirit and enthusiasm with which the games were received by the play- ers and the students clearly show that his splendid work was well appreciated. At the end of the season Coach Harvey picked two all star teams which in his opinion repre- sented the ten best men at their positions in the league. They were as follows: First Team Booth. S9Ili0I'S ............ F .......... Carlson, Seniors Barkby, Junors .......... F ......,. Ewing, Freshmen ROSS- SGHIOFS ..... . ...... C ...... Thomas, Freshmen Second Team GGG, S6I1iOI'S ..............,. G ....,,,,,,,, Griggs, Junigrg Powers, Seniors ..... ..... G .......... C oulter, Juniors The plan of conducting an interclass bask- etball league is meritorious to the nth de- gree, for it provides the greatest good to the greatest number and it helps in bringing to light future varsity material. It should be en- couraged and the successful season just con- cluded should provide a basis in the future, for many pleasant winters of class basketball. SPORT NOTES , At a meeting of the basketball lettermen Kenneth Abbott, star forward of this years varsity was elected captain of next years teams. His election was received with great approval by the student body. Such M. H. S. track candidates as make a favorable showing in the early workouts will be taken to the annual W. St J. track meet at Washington sometime this month. While M. H. S. has no baseball varsity this year, yet baseball men are not letting this sport lay. Many of them are playing with various independent teams of the city. Num- bered among these are found Smith, Bene- dict, the Gregory twins, Carlson, Ross, Bark- by, McCurdy, Abbott and the Tosi brothers. Plans have been formulated for construct- ing a diamond on the athletic field. Home plate has been located, at least temporarily, and is to be placed in the northeast corner of the field. It is expected that the field will soon be in readiness for play. At a meetng of the M Club, April 12, a number of the Senior lettermen joined this organization. The final standing of the interclass teams were as follows: W L Pct. Seniors ......,.. ..., 6 0 1.000 Freshmen ..... ..,. 3 3 .500 Juniors ......... .... 2 4 .333 Sophomores .... ............... 1 5 .167 LETTER AVVARDS In a chapel session called for that purpose twenty-seven letters were awarded to the athletes and student managers who had earn- ed them.

As the train was pulling out of Elrama, the conductor announced Monongahela City as the next stop. Now all trains going either direction stop las the faculty member well knowsl at the Shire Oaks railroad yards, for some purpose or other. As this train was just like any ordinary train, it also halted at the common resting place. Our math expert, noticing a large number of men emerging from the train, bestirred himself and hastily made his exit. What was his consternation and, chagrin to find himself standing, after the train had pulled out, in Shire Oaks, a good seven miles from home! The bulletin which conveyed the above in- formation to the local publication failed to state how the figure shark escaped from his dilemma without Uhoofing it or waiting for another rattler. Mr. C. G. is the pal of the high school stu- dent. You meet him in the school cafeteria and he is with you until school is dismissed. Sometimes the other students are so nice that you have to share his sweet company with them. By the time every one has a share you only have about one-fifth of Mr. C. G. left tthat is a stickl. Well he might be a good pal who will stick to you Cespecially if you touch him with your fingersl b'ut 1' have seen him get many a good man in trouble. I myself have had some experience with him, for that matter. He is especially an enemy of Miss Graver and Mr. Kahle and he is continunally being placed in a small basket in the corner of the room for safe keeping. VVell I guess he will always be M. H. S's. greatest pal until Mrs. Stewart quits busi- ness. He will still be as popular but about as hard to get as the real stuff ANXl0l'S ANSXVERSH CAs recorded by the Facultyl Careful Student:- The googs were im- ported. fMeaning goods...
