The book is published by the seniors, but the other classes and the teachers have furnished part of the material. We Wish to extend our appreciation and thanks to the business men and women for their help, to the undergraduates for their assistance, and to our principal and teachers for their interest. We are indebted to the preceding classes for the idea of the book, but just as each succeeding class endeavors, we have attempted to improve the former books. This year we are proud to say that the department cuts are not borrowed from former graduates but have' been designed by students now in school. In publishing our annual, We have tried to summarize the events of our final year and to make it a book which will be cherished more each succeeding year. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF.

When We see the cheering crowd at a basketball game, the happy gather- ing at a dance, the grade children at recess in the Winter, the expectant throng at an entertainment, or the beam- ing crowd at a supper, We are constantly reminded of Mr. Frear's untiring efforts in making our Community Building a reality, not a mere dream.

IN MEMORIAM lt is the purpose of this column to note the names of per- sons connected with the school who have died during this year. Mr. William H. Warner, an alumus of Montrose High School, died during the past winter. For several years he served very capably on the School Board. Since that time he has taken unlimited interest and had given unsparingly of' his time and effort for the benefit of the school. Mr. Warner filled a niche in our community which will not soon be graci- ously and acceptably occupied. The school was saddened by the death one of the facul- ty, Miss Thelma Button, and of a fourth grade pupil, Edward Rydzewski. Both were buried on the same day, February 8. The throngs of people at the funerals and the flowers spoke highly of the love and esteem felt toward these members of our school. We wish to extend sympathy to Arthur Bowen, '27, in the loss of his father, and to Dorothy Potter, '30, in the loss of her father. , 'llllllll lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll llllll lllll 16 I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I lllllllllllllllllllllll Illlllllllllllllllllllllll Illllllllllllllllllllllllllll EDITORIAL Student Government URING the last term of school the system of Student Government D was introduced in High School. Members of the senior class were the pioneers in arousing interest in this plan. Meeting with the approval of the majority of the students and faculty, the plan was soon put in force. At first two study periods were given over for student rule, but later another period was added. The governing body, or student council, consists of one repre- sentative from the faculty, three from the Senior class, two from the Junior class, and one from each the Sophomore and Freshmen classes. The study halls are in charge of monitors, who are chosen by the Presi- dent of the council. These monitors take the roll and give permis- sions. In case of a more serious misbehavior, the student is reported to the council for punishment. The advantages of student rule are easily seen, but perhaps they are more numerous in our school where the facilities and funds are limited. The teachers in high school all have a heavy schedule of classes, some of them teaching six or seven of the eight periods. If the study halls are conducted by the pupils, it means that much less work for the teachers. This time, then, may be used in helping back- ward pupils or in more thoroughly preparing their assignments. We cannot, in truth, say student government is one hundred per cent. eiicient in our school-any plan when first adopted is not ex- pected to be wholly successful-but the Seniors are proud of the fact that they were the class to commence student rule, and they are con- fident that in the future the undergraduates will carry the plan to success.

Our Library, outstanding in its attractive architecture, is a source of pride to every Susquehanna county citizen.

As we cross its threshold the sunlight, streaming in through many windows and the cool restfulness of spreading palms lend at charm, an enchantment. The entire atmosphere is a benedic- tion. Since a book is man's best friend, ' we rejoice in the rows upon rows of book friends. A wonderful institution it is where young and old can find somewhere among those rows of books that which may increase his knowledge, or please his fancy. We have always felt the deepest gratitude to the donors for their recognition of our great need. The high school has found the library almost indispensable. Perhaps this value has been most emphasized in our work in history. In that course much reference work is essential. English courses require the reading of those standard books which too often are not found in the homes. How conveniently the library supplies our needs I How difficult such courses would be with- out a source of supply ! In debate work the library is very helpful. Here have been spent many hours in searching for material and securing data for argu- ments. The untiring eiforts of our beloved librarian, Miss Bunnell, are inestimable. The work with the undergraduates in instructing them in short cuts and securing needed reference material is of great value, not only in high school but in the years to follow. We, of M. H. S., fully appreciate the almost unlimited source of knowledge and pleasure that is so easily within our reach, and we will lend all help and encouragement to the support and betterment of our library. ASSISTANT EDITOR-IN-CHIEF. Symmetrical Development S CIENTISTS tell us that the perfect sphere has the greatest volume of any form of object according to area. By the same test, we claim that the well-rounded life is the full and complete life, and approaches perfection. There are multitudes of people whose train- ing has been such that their lives have no symmetrical form, being full of knobs and projections. They may not, however, be entirely without beauty. The expression, All men are created equal, is true only in law. Heredity and environment are inexorably hemming us in and lllllllllll I lillillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllll llllIllllIllllllllillllllllllllIllIIlllllllllllllllllllllllllIIlIlllllllllllllllllllllllll Ill ll'Il I lllllll I llllllllllIllllllllll-lllllllllllllnllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll binding us down. He who overcomes tragedies in these becomes a hero. Let us mentally apply the spherical test to lives of which we have knowledge. There is the wealthy man who has neglected his physical and spiritual development so that his muscles are like cotton and his disposition like tabasco sauce. An unsymmetrical develop- ment is his, surely. There is the athlete with the body of a Greek god and a brain that has rested in peace all through the years. What a pity I Then there is the religious fanatic, whose so-called soul has been feverishly overworked until it has become abnormal. He ne- glects everything except his religion. His life is a narrow, mis-shapen thing. It is true that we all have our particular talentsg some of us even have genius. It is our duty to train and use these talents to the fullest possible extent. But it is also possible, in these days of great op- portunity, for one to have the fully-rounded life along with specialized training. The people who are making this world a better place to live in today are those whose bodies, minds and souls are all wide-awake and working hard. Neglect any one of these three and the other two suf- fer greatly. The body needs work, play, food, cleanliness, etc. The mind may be trained by school, library, home-reading, radio, etc. The soul is shaped by the great Church of God in its various forms, by the Holy Book, by prayer and loving service to mankind. Shall we not resolve to see to it that our lives approach perfec- tion in their symmetrical development by neglecting nothinggood and important in this world of unbounded opportunity ? FRANK A.

The following officers were elected : President, Emily Rogers, Vice-President, Ethel Booth, Treasurer, Beverley Cooley, Cheer Leader, Raymond Allen, Class Adviser, Miss Lucy Bush, for the Hrst semester, and Miss Emma Reed for the second. The first social activity of the class was a Hot Dog roast, held at Lake Mont- rose. All that remains of our second party is a paper napkin, cherish- ed by Alburta Andre. This party caused considerable comment by its attractive decorations. In September of the following year the class organized as Sophomores and elected Edwin Gardner, Presidentg Edward Decker, Vice-President, Ether Booth, Secretary, Merritt Estus, Treasurer, and Miss Irene Pedrick, Sponsor. That year we entertained the Seniors and gave them twenty dollars to help with their Washington fund. There was also a memorable sleigh-ride to South Montrose, followed by refreshments in the domestic science rooms. In the Spring we had the first of a series of picnics at Elk Lake. The Junior year was entered upon with forty-five members. The increase in the knowledge we were attaining entirely overbal- anced our continually decreasing numbers. Beverley Cooley was chosen for Junior President, Merritt Estus for Vice-President, Edwin Dayton for Secretary, Edward Keough and Edwin Dayton for Treas- urerg and Miss Margaret Curtis for Sponsor. During the' year the school was retarded in its work by epidemics of scarlet fever and measles. 'Ihe principal party of this year was one in honor of the football team. Our Senior President is Edwin Dayton, Vice-President, Alta Preston, Secretary, Ethel Booth, Treasurer, Merritt Estus, and Spon- sor, Miss Marian Taylor. The first party of our Senior year was a wienie roast, held in the domestic science rooms, We are very grate- ful io the Sophomores for the party they gave us. April eleventh was the date set for our much anticipated 'trip to IfVashington. A few of the students spent Sunday night in Scranton, but the majoriy started from home Monday morning at the early hour of four-thirty by auto to take the train at seven-ten from the Jersey Central station. We need not remind the students who took the trip of the anxious moments nor the happy ones, for we shall not soon forget either. One of the great- est events of any Senior year is the class play. We have been proud to work on Pomander Walk, a classic among comedies, and as our year book goes to print we are hoping for happy results. At this mo- znent, the play, Commencement, Class Day are filling our minds, and we feel that no lengthy mention of them is needed, for the events them- selves will be stamped upon our memories.

They had completed their second years work, hav- ing lived up to the name of Wise Fools and they were now ready to take up the work of dignified Juniors. Twenty-eight pupils are enrolled in the class, thirteen of whom are taking work in the Com- mercial Department, the others are still following their work in the academic and general courses-following, some near, some far. The Juniors have been silently at work during the past year on different projects, making a little money here and there, despite the fact that the Seniors had the monopoly on the sale of candy. The class sold refreshments at the school dances which were held during the year. The class has upheld the reputation of former classes in the number of athletes. We were well represented on the football team by Robert McLaughlin, Frank Chilletti and Robert Birchard. Lillian Mack, as captain of the girls, basketball team, led the girls through a fairly successful season. Anne McDermott, Kathryn Dodge, Harriet Titman, Hazel McLaughlin, Alice Melhuish, Dora Horton and Edith Darrow were of the girls' basketball squad. Robert Brown, Robert McLaughlin, Frank Chilletti and Lewis Brown ably represented the class on the boys' basketball squad. The class entertained the football squad and their ladies at a party in November-a happy occasion. The class extends its best wishes to William Searle, who was formerly president of the class, but who was forced to leave during the year on account of illness. He was succeeded by Harriet Titman. The class officers for the year are z- President-Harriet Titman. Vice-President-Gladys Birchard Treasurer-Kathryn Dodge. Sponsor-Mr. Sipe. Secretary-Pearl Brugler.

ALUTATCRY PUBLIC HEALTH WORK UBLIC HEALTH WORK is a movement which had its origin P many years ago when visiting nurses, especially nuns, went among the poor, caring for the sick and needy. However, no real progress in organized nursing was made until the Crimean War, when Florence Nightingale gathered a band of nurses and established a hospital in Crimea. On her return to England she founded a training school for nurses, and brought before the public the need of trained workers for the care of the sick. A few years later, similar schools were establish- ed in the United States. The National Red Cross Society, founded in 1881, was for many years under the management of Clara Barton. She extended the scope of the relief work and arranged for giving as- sistance to the needy in public calamities. The Rural Nursing Service of the Red Cross was inaugurated in 1912. Later this organization was known as the Town and County Nursing Service and during the World War period became the Bureau of Public Health Nursing. The relief work carried on by the Red Cross during the World War is familiar to all, but the health work which has taken place in American communities since the war is not known and the importance of it is not fully realized. The nurse who goes to a rural district as a public health nurse is confronted with many problems very different from those of the IlllllIllIllIlllllIlIlllllllllllllllllIIVIIlllllllVIIlIIVIVIIllllVIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIlllIIlIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Illlllllll I I I I I IVIVI lll I I Ill llllll I I Illllllllllllllllilll lillllll ll Il Illl lllll Illlllll llllllll Il Illl ll ll IHI Illll I I I I I I lllllllllll lllll I Il Illl Il I I nullwmmmwmmmulululuIummwlummmuw:wmmmululumuwmmmuuummummmuzlulnllrlumllxxlzmllnlxmmmulullmmlulululululululn city. Almost always her territory will consist of scattered villages and small towns, isolated farm houses and country schools, connected by poor roads which become almost impassable in certain seasons of the year. Transportation becomes a large problem. The nurse soon finds that physicians are scarce and, in addition to this, that there are no organized social agencies, she is the only worker with any training or experience for handling social problems of material relief. All these problems seem insignificant when one realizes that in many districts, continued financial support cannot be assured. The lack of good financial backing is perhaps the largest and most serious handicap the rural nurse has to deal with and in most cases it is large- ly due to the fact that the people do not know the extensive work which she does and the necessity for it. With these problems before her, the public health nurse com- mences her work which is of a wide and varied nature. In the fall she visits the rural schools in her districts, weighs and measures the children, gives health talks, and in many cases makes home visits to urge the correction of defects and discuss the welfare of the children with their parents. Here lies her largest opportunity, for she must make the mother realize the importance of the health work. In the country where it is hard to get medical aid, the mother must be ready to meet all emergencies. She must recognize the con- trol she has over the family's health, not only in nutrition but in 'the sanitary conditions of the home and in the care of the sick. To give the necessary information to the housewife, the nurse forms classes in Nutrition and Home Nursing. Many parents regard the school work of the public health nurse as a fad rather than a benefit and some of them feel 'that the matter of over weight or under weight children is unimportant. On the contrary, the reports of the Anti-Tuberculosis Society show that a large percentage of under weight children are very susceptible to tuberculosis, and as the purpose of this society is preventive, they heartily endorse the work of the nurse. The public health nurse plays an important part in times of epidemics, which frequently occur during the winter months. Not only does she send out information for the prevention of the disease but she assists in the actual care of the sick in homes where other as- sistance cannot be obtained. 7 Besides protecting the health of the community, the nurse par- ticipates in campaigns for raising money, gives lectures at public meet- ings, takes charge of the rest room and Red Cross booth at the Fair, aids disabled soldiers of the World War, and at Christmas time spreads cheer among the needy and unfortunate. 7 IHlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllIllIlllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIlIIIllllIIIlllllllllllllllllllllllI I I I llllllllillll I lllllllllll lilll 57 I Il I ll ll ll llllllllllllll lll Illl I IllIllIllllKllIIll!1IlllIllIlllllllllllIlIllllllllIllllllllllllllIllllilllIlllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllIllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllll Public health work was started in Susquehanna county in 1921 under the direction of a group of public-spirited citizens who had been deeply interested in Red Cross work during the war. Health work has been efficiently and vigorously carried on ever since, until the re- cent resignation of the nurse brought the work to a temporary stand- still. It will probably be resumed in the fall, for surely no progressive community, knowing the demand of such a trained worker, would ever take a backward step in so necessary and important a work. Everyone knows that health is one of the first requisites for a happy life, but few remember the old proverb that says, An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of curef' MILA CARLETON, Salutatorian. VALEDICTORY HEALTH IN OUR SCHOOL HE world never has had greater need of rugged, intelligent citi- T zens than it has at this moment. To every citizen in our country comes the call to be fit for his best service to his community, to the nation, and to the world. The health of the school child directly af- fects the everyday life of the community and the nation. With the great power that it holds for good over the present and the future, over the homely affairs of daily living and the large affairs of man- kind, it becomes an issue of tremendous importance to your family, your school. your community, and your race. Most parents remember the courses they had in physiology as most uninteresting and uninspiring. Now the child enjoys his educa- tion in health. He does not spend his time memorizing the names of all the bones in the body, parrot-fashion, but instead learns how to promote his own growth and health. Health lessons are taught in many class room activities. For example, in the Primary Department of our school, the pupils draw pictures of bottles of milk and of vege- tables. They sing the songs of health and act in simple health plays. A short time ago the parents and friends were invited to a grade pro- gram emphasizing health methods. In one grade a tooth brush con- test has been inaugurated. In another grade each pupil is a citizen of the land of health and must abide by the rules of that land. Similar work is carried on in other grades. It is surprising to see the interest the children, even in the higher grades, take in successfully accomplishing the requirements of these contests. Posters, placed in conspicuous places, remind the children that they should brush their teeth, have fresh air, and eat the proper food. lllllIllIlllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllllllllllIllllllllllIlllllllilllllllllllllll Ill I I ll'IIIlIIlIIIlIlI I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I Ill I ll KI I IHIIllllIlll!lIllIIlIlIIIIIllllllkllllllllllllllllI lllllllllllillllllllill il I IKIIIIIHI llllllllilllllllllllllll IlllllIllllllllIllllllllllllllllll llllllll Ill The State of Pennsylvania provides for the medical inspection of all pupils in the fourth class districts at the expense of the state. Each of the medical inspectors must make to the principal or superin- tendent of schools a written report concerning all pupils found to need medical or surgical attention. According to the law, any board of school directors may employ one or more school nurses, who shall be graduates of reputable training schools for nurses, and the board shall define their duties. Medical inspection of the present day includes four fields : Pre- vention of epidemics, discovery and cure of physical defects, provision for healthful surroundings, and formation of correct habits of thought and action in regard to health. If Montrose had a school nurse she would be of assistance in each of these fields. The greatest part of her duties would be the supervision of the life habits of the well rather than the curing of diseases. During the epidemics of scarlet fever and measles in the school last year, the work of the state nurse and the Red Cross nurse greatly aided in controlling the diseases. But due to the typhoid epidemic in New Milford, the nurses left Montrose. The resulting increase in the number of cases might have been prevented if we had had a school nurse. The teachers agree that the work accomplished the last two periods in the morning and afternoon is greatly inferior to that done earlier in the session. This condition would be eliminated to a great extent if physical exercises could be given in the middle of each ses- sion. But we have no one qualified to direct these exercises. The school nurse would be the real health officer of the school. At every opportunity she would emphasize the value of proper health habits, conduct drills, and organize health exhibits. This does not mean that her presence would relieve the teacher of her duty and re- sponsibility to her pupils. The nurse and teacher together should con- stitute a health team. If the nurse had proper training in teaching methods, she could give health instruction in the school. The rational place for health education is in the public school where large percentages of the popu- lation can be reached for instruction at the age when it is most likely to have a definite bearing on their future. The girls 'taking the domes- tic science course are the only pupils to receive any health training in high school. Is it right that the graduates of our school should go out into the world many not knowing the simple rules of health ? We must remember that we are not producing mechanics, teachers, or doctors, but men and women to whom making a living will be of little value if they do not know how to live. An important phase of the nurse's work would be the health examinations and the follow-up work. There are three general divi- I I Illlllllll I Ill Illllllll llllllllllll I I I Illlllllllllllllllllllllllllll I I I I Illlll I I Illlllllllll I I Illlill I III I III llll 59 IlillllllIllllllllllllllllllillll I I ll II I I I' lllllllll.. llllllllllllllllllllIlllllll lll IlllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllIllIIHlIll1llllIlllllllllllllllllllllilllll sions of follow-up work : The notices of defects sent to the parents, conferences of parents and nurses, and visits of the school nurse to the children's homes. It is true that once a year the state nurse and school doctor make the routine examination for physical defects. The re- ports of these examinations are given to the children to take home,- and this is all that is doneg no follow-up work is undertaken. It is of little value merely to discover defectsg and it is of immense value to see that such defects, as are discovered, are remedied. Would not a school nurse be of great service in this field alone '? The following quotation is taken from the Syllabus for Health and Hygiene : lt is the obligation of the people generally to give full support to the business of bringing as near one hundred per cent. as is humanly possible the health of the children who are being edu- cated in the schools. After this brief discussion, I should like to feel that I have left one question in the minds of this audience. That question is, Can Montrose afford to have a school nurse ?

No longer do we come to school and sit and shiver in half-heated rooms, or to feel the dirt crunch under our feet on the poorly swept floor. The very air of the school room seems more pure as a result of his work, and we all feel that many thanks are due our persevering janitor and his assistant. ,x 177-ll 7 71 .- -IA I -i 1 G 'll '1 7 - 1 avi E' I-lll-if 17 1 fri ' Q 'x i ' ri Absent-Minded School Teacher: Yes, Dear, What is lt?

This year the school was represented in 'two contests, Montrose upholding the affirma- tive side of the question, Resolved, That vocational courses should be made compulsory for all high school pupils in fourth-class districts. Worthy mention should be made of the time and effort expended by Miss Taylor, our coach, in organizing and assisting the team. The Montrose team was composed entirely of Seniors, the mem- bers being Lewis Dayton, Beverley Cooley, Edwin Dayton, and Merritt Estus, alternate. The debate with New Milford was held at Montrose, October 29, 1926. The members of the New Milford team were Arthur Wil- marth, Helena Hand, Vivian Ransom, and Doris Empet, alternate. The judges, Mr. Doherty and Mr. Lannon, of Susquehanna, and Miss Mary Donovan, of Lanesboro, decided in favor of Montrose. The team worked overtime in preparing for the debate with Harford. The time and work spent in preparation were in vain, how- ever, because the Harford team captured the judges' decision. Mary Brundage, Elizabeth Seal, Zelda Turrell, and Giles Adams, alternate, composed the Harford team. Mrs. May Miller and Mr. Stephens, of Hop Bottom, and Rev. W. W. Watrous, of Nicholson, were the judges. The award for the debate with Harford was possession of the cup for the Western half of the county for one year. Had Montrose won, the cup would have graced our trophy shelf forever, as it had al- ready been won 'two years by Montrose. I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill, but time and chance happiness to them all. .-Ecclesiastes, 9:11. Although, to quote our Principal, The way of judges is in- scrutable and past finding out, the class of '27 entertains high hopes that the class of '28 will return the cup to Montrose.

The object of the depart- 5 ment is to help students to say better the things they must say. E The course includes memory work, expository and argumentative 5 speeches, debates, speeches of introduction and presentation, after- E dinner speeches, practice in parliamentary law, and one-act plays. 5 The successful completion of the work adds one-fourth credit to the 5 student's record.

H. S., we heartily welcome our worthy successors to W the joy and advancement of a music ensemble. To get us 'to- gether is a task of a King, but give us the test and we're there every time. One morning in chapel we played our hearts out and were kindly rewarded with an awful din. Then soon after Christmas came the big operetta and they needed accompaniment, full strength and bold. VVe gave them a dose that was highly intoxicating, for soon the Juniors were there at our heels. They gave three charming plays fand-sh ! don t tell a soul-we played for our supper. J There's one thing most sure-we wouldn't slight anyone, and we do like the Seniors-they are so fascinating ! So in between Pomander Walks acts, we with the dear, dearv Leonard prophetically announced the trend of music. Then after all the hurries and flurries of this Senior display, we captured our own Paderewski, Bruce Payne, and were suf- ficiently able to renew our strength for the oncoming glories of Com- mencement Night, Chapel, and Class Day. Now we close with one final wish z- May the spirit of true service continue to be an inspiration to all those who give themselves in the cause of music.

The menus and market orders were planned, the marketing done, and the food prepared and served by the Sophomore girls. The six girls were divided into two groups, each group taking charge alternate weeks. Each girl had a special duty, to perform. A hot dish, cocoa and crackers were served to the children at a very low price. About forty-five pupils were served daily. The Child Care Class had as their special problem the children in the first four grades who were underweight. The Kingis Daughters very kindly furnished milk for them. The work began in September and at the end of January twelve children had reached their normal weight. The Sophomore cooking class was very much interested in its canning course. During ,this time plans were made for the annual ex- hibit at the Susquehanna County Fair. The work in design proved to be very interesting to the Fresh- men. They have hand-stenciled recipe boxes and book ends. A scarf and handkerchief were made by each girl. The duty of design as applied to women s clothing was studied with emphasis on color, suitability of style and material for each per- son. Free hand work on posters and wild flowers will complete the couise. During the year a hand hemstitched buffet set, a table scarf, candlesticks, four pictures, dishes, a four-burner oil stove and new curtains have been added to the department. Four times during the year the girls of the department served dinner to the faculty. This was very fine experience for the girls. The menus. marketing, and amounts to be prepared, as well as the methods of serving were very carefully studied. The aim of the Freshman Cooking Class has been the prepara- tion of foods, according to classes, with the ultimate aim, meal plan- ning, and serving. They have served a breakfast, two luncheons and an informal dinner and a basket picnic. One member of a fishing party was an Irishman who disagreed very badly with the sea. It's all right, old man, said another member of the party, you're not dead yet. True. moaned the sufferer, but it's only the hope of dying that keeps me alive.

Girls' Glee Club THE Senior Girls' Glee Club can well be proud of its endeavor this year in the line of entertainment for others. In the course of events, came first the strenuous debate nights which gave fine op- portunity for the Girls' Chorus to divert the many minds in the spell of music. With weekly rehearsals the girls were ready for almost anything. Caroling was their next disguise. With the flickering candle light and their clear voices penetrating the crisp night air, the carolers were warmly greeted from one door to the next. Later in the year came the call for library funds, to which our girls gladly respond- ed. We think them a splendid Glee Club and to climax the year's work, the Boys' Chorus joined with them in song, helping to make Commencement time a glorious Hbeginningfy Members of the Glee Club.

At an examination aboy, asked to state why a tiger is striped, wrote : It is striped because it makes it better for circus proprietors. If a tiger escapes from a circus, it is easier to find him than if he had no stripes. He will not go far without someone noticing that he is not a horse or a dog on account of his stripes, and calling up and asking the circus people if they have lost a tiger. Some smiles gathered by E. V. Lucas, of Punch : As incon- spicuous as a new filling station 5 s thrilling as a phonograph record of a Liberty Loan speech, as welcome as a creaking floor to a bur- glar, as calm and collected as a man with St. Vitus' dance walking a tight-rope over Niagara Falls in a hurricane. Modern developments yield plenty of material, as Peaceably inclined as a heavyweight championf' his face was as red as a picture house exit bulbg ' no more eHect than another new law, as nervous as a jelly fish on a Ford fender, as necessary as the black squares in a cross-word puz- zleg as empty as an abandoned golf course. A man was brought to court for a crime he had committed. The judge asked what he had done. He said, My name is Sparks, I am an electrician, and I am charged with assault and battery. The Judge said, Officer, put this man in a dry cell. Miss Taylor-An anecdote is a short, funny tale. Dudley, give me an example of an anecdote.

Perhaps the students have not verbally expressed themselves often, but each player has appreciated and enjoyed the opportunity and the support, which has been exceptional. The second team played its first game January 18, 1927, and the last one April 9, 1927, at Montrose. The first team played twenty-one games, the last one being played April 9, 1927, at Montrose. Out of the twenty-one games, twelve were won. This team also held third place in the League. Perhaps two of the factors leading to the success of the team were Mr. Elbert Davies' coaching, and the excellent floor which was at the ser- vice of the team. In saying this we do not discount the ability of the team. The letter men for the 1927 season are : Wood, Allen, Mc- Laughlin, Tanner, Fraser, Rice, R. Brown. On December 1st the basket-ball season opened with about twenty-five candidates for the team. From this squad a team was formed composed of 1- 1. Captain VVood-forward. 2. Allen-forward. 3. McLaughlin-forward. 7. Rice-guard. 4. Tanner-center. 5. Brown-guard. 6. Fraser-guard. A second 'team was formed, composed of : 1. Stockholm-center. 2. M. Birchard, guard. 3. Noble-guard. 4. D. Chilletti-guard. 5. L. Brown--forward. 6. Gregory-forward. 7. Vxfarner-forward.

The thanks to the work of Paul Pross and two Princeton men in two weeks a team was formed from a squad of fifteen men. This team grew in quality each day and the squad grew in number as rapidly. After the first game Mr. Leonard OyBrien assumed the respon- sibility of coaching the team, while Ralph Beck acted as an assistant in Mr. O'Brien's absence. Our worthy manager, Leonard Smith, procured a heavy schedule of nine hard games. Some of these were with the Johnson City high school, The Junior Varsity of Binghamton Central High School, and Clark's Summit high school. Our always hopeful Captain Tanner, full back, urged the team skillfully through every game. Our fearless ends, Dominick Chilletti and Earl Rice, halted many a would-be ten-yard gain and caused the opposing team a loss, while Red Dayton and Bob Birchard at guard and Dobrey Allen and lVIac,' McLaughlin as tackles, and Lewis Dayton, the alert center, never failed to respond to the cry of every man on the team, Hold that line.

The Seniors who receive gold footballs are : Leonard Smith, Ed- win Dayton, Albert Wells, Lewis Dayton and Raymond Allen. The letter men of the team of i26 are : Tanner, Smith, L. Day- ton, E. Dayton, Rice, Wood, Allen, McLaughlin, Wells, F. Chilletti, D. Chilletti, Meehan, Gregory and Birchard. After the close of the season Robert Birchard was elected Cap- tain for 1927 and, judging by signs, he will be supported by a much larger squad than has 'turned out in many years. ALBERT WELLS, '27.

The third of November, 1926, candidates from the ranks of the M. H. S. assembled in the new gym for practice. Not many of the girls had ever seen a basket-ball before and it was a very excited team that walked onto the floor to face the Harford lassies, all of whom knew our winning ways. Though the girls were defeated, they did not give up. The next game was one of the best games of the season, being played with Susquehanna, a prize-winning team. We were again de- feated, but-only by one point. We owe considerable praise to our guards who held the Susky forwards from making baskets. We also owe considerable credit to our forwards who made the points for us. Our next game was with New Milford, another one of the lead- ing teams of the county. The score was 5-9, in favor of New Milford. This made three successive games the girls lost, but still they did not give up hope. On January 14 we played Hallstead on our floor, the score be- ing 11-4 in our favor. This first victory of the season seemed to change our luck for a time. The next game was also played at home on January 28th, with Factoryville, with a score of 9-5, favor of the Montrose lassies. On February 4 we journeyed to Springville and came home with the score 6-3, favor of M. H. S., most of the score being made during the last quarter. The next journey was to Nicholson on February 11, a very cold night,-thermomter thirty degrees below zero. The girls again de- feated, with a score of 11-3. This was merely a practice game to put us in better shape to meet the teams of the League. The next game was played at home with Springville, the score being 20-2 in our favor. This was the highest score of the season made by the M. H. S. girls and it seemed to instill in them new vigor. February 25 we went to Harford. This proved to be a very ex- citing game, the final whistle leaving the score 12-12. About 6:30 on March 11, two large busses filled with players and rooters left Montrose for Susquehanna. The girls' score was 9-13, in favor of Susquehanna. On March 4 we traveled to Dimock, making a score of 10, the highest which any team made on Dimock's floor, and keeping Dimockfs score down to 30, the lowest they had made. On March 19 we again went on a joy ride, this time to Factory- I ll IllIIlllllllllllllllllllllll llIlIIVIIIlllllllKIIIIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIllIllIllIllllllllllllllllllllllll llllllll llllllllllllllllllill ll ll I llllllllllllll I 82 llllllllllli I I I IllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIllHllllHIHIYIIIlllllllllllllllllIllllIllIlllllllllIllIlllllllllllll!lllilllllllllllIlllllIIlllIIIIlllllllllllllllllllllll IL ville. We came home very happy over our victory, the score being 28-17. As you all know, Factoryville is a championship team. On our own floor, March 16, we met and defeated the New Mil- ford sextet by a score of 13-12. ,This was the most exciting game of the season, New Milford and Montrose were a tie in the last quarter and only one minute to play. Titman and Burr did wonderful pass work in this game. On March 29 we played our last game of the season with Dim- ock on our own floor. This was another very exciting game, exciting because our guards were put out on fouls during the last quarter. The centers played their usual good game. The result was 18-11, in favor of Dimock. Varsity Team : Titman, Burr, Stockholm, McDermott, Bene- dict and Dodge. Substitutes: Mildred Birchard, Mack, Freeman, Rogers, Horton, Cooley, Vesta Birchard, Melhuish and Darrow. We owe a great deal of our success in basket-ball this year to Miss McDermott, who was a faithful and untiring coach. TRACK. The girls have commenced practicing for the Track Meet which will be held in May. The contests in which the girls participate are : Basket-ball throw, 50-yard dash, 75-yard dash and 220-yard relay.
