The Panther Call Eleanor Mull closed the door to the first little log cabin school of Allegheny County. She drew her coat more closely to protect her from the sharp October winds of 1802. Being the daughter of a pioneer, she had that strong impulsive nature of boldness. As she passed through the woods to her home, the calls of the panthers reached her ears. A daring and bold idea flashed into her mind. Having arrived at a small clearing in the forest, she raised a screaming cry that echoed from the deepest haunts of the woods. From somewhere far in the dark shadows came the reply that seemed to pierce the air with its shrillness. After a few hundred paces, Eleanor stopped and raised the catflike scream to the heavens. Again came the answering call clearer and closer than before. Quivering with excitement at her own daring and boldness, she once again raised the panther cry which echoed and refechoed through the forest. Once more came the call only a short distance from the path. As Eleanor Mull hurried over the hill in sight of her house, a sleek black figure, its green glassy eyes glowing, slunk behind her. Now, thoroughly frightened, she broke into a run towards the house with the panther bounding after her. She slammed the door safely between her and the panther, just as he agilely leaped over the fence. The above is a true incident in the life of the great' great grandmother of Mary Brazel, a member of the Senior class. Eleanor Mull was at that time a teacher in the little log school house which now stands in Mt. Lebanon Park. SENIORS School is doneg Sets the sun.

At the right are pictures of a few of the Seniors who were too young to know better. Note especially the absence of the careworn looks. Some are gurgling with pleasure as they watch proud mama and papa saying, See the birdie? Others act rather nasty, just daring you to ask them to act like good little boys and girls . A few toddle along and willf ingly smile for the nice camera' man g some even haughtily refuse to believe anybody is around. Ah, these babes of fourteen years ago! The scene shifts to three years later, school clothes take the place of rompers. Readirf, writin', and 'rith- metic keep the young strugglers busy trying to forge ahead. Each one tries to outdo the other-though some give up right at the beginning. The enthusiastic students unwillingly, we hate to say, take time out to pose for the middle picture. Top 1.
