The ground was broken in the fall of igi6. but labor and traffic conditions prevented its completion until the winter of iqi8. However, Patience brings reward” and we now have one of the finest and best equipped buildings in the county. l or many years we have wished for a gymnasium. Now we rejoice in one with up-to-date dressing rooms, which contain shower-baths and lockers enough to accommodate ail the students. This building offers unsurpassed facilities for the teaching of chemistry and of physics. A common lecture room opens into laboratories carefully furnished for each study. A large combination study hall and reference room extends the length of the south side of the building. It affords a place for quiet study undisturbed by recitations. I he extra room made possible the addition of a new course in the high school. Ten typewriters have been installed, the incessant click of which emphasizes their popularity. The teaching of typewriting is only an experiment, but if it proves successful there is no doubt that it will be made permanent. Besides the rooms already enumerated, the new building contains four well lighted recitation rooms with adjustable seats. The corridors are not merely necessary passageways but are adorned with exquisite expressions of art. By the erection of this building, the borough has attempted to give us the best educational opportunities possible. Let us prove ourselves worthy! L. S. ■4 THE MUNHISKO C. A. R. STONE, A. B.

Mr. Bauman. In 1Q11 the Board of Education, realizing the true worth of the man, elected him to the position of High School Principal, which position he has most ably filled for the past seven years. Fitted by education to lead pupils along the lines of knowledge, and fitted by his own innate sympathy with and understanding of human nature, particularly of child nature, to lead pupils along the path of life, Mr. Bauman has been a teacher in the broadest, noblest sense of the term. His kindly sympathy inspired the confidence of pupil and of teacher; neither ever hesitated to take to him any question of school or of life. Each one felt that Mr. Bauman had a heart for him a personal rather than a class interest. He knew that lrom Mr. Bauman he would receive a clean just judgment,—no riddle, no equivocation, no undue commendation. Nor was any matter too trifling for this true teacher to consider. A pupil’s own words give best evidence of this esteem: We go to Mr. Bauman as we would to a father for advice and unsel. not only in regard to school affairs and troubles, but for everything; he is always fair and helpful.” Of su:h a tribute who would not be proud! Nor is the estimate in the least exaggerated. It is not the tribute paid by one, but is the consensus of the opinion of all—teachers as well as pupils. With this year Mr. Bauman voluntarily severs his official connection with the Munhall High School. Ilis friendly sympathetic connection with past and present pupils of this institution can not be severed; nor can the influence for good ’.his one man has sowed through this communin’ be measured. We cannot but feel that the Munhall youth who enters our school in future will lose much by not coming in personal contact with him. W herever he may go and in whatever he may engage, he takes with him our kindest wishes for success. Mav others be to him what he has been to us! Exit—A Man. Til E MUNHISKO '9 D. H.

He became a member of the school board in 1901 and served this community in that capacity most faithfully until he resigned in 1917. Much credit is due him for his seventeen years of service. He has been on the building committee for every school building except for the “Old Building” on Twelfth Avenue and Martha Street, which was taken over by the borough from Mifflin township; he was chairman of the building committee for the new addition and we are very grateful to him for the comforts and pleasures which he lias helped to give us: for twelve years he was secretary of the Board. Mr. Bell was one of the most popular men on the school board, lie possessed a keen interest in the school ac.ivities and all enjoyed his cheery smile when he paid his frequent visit to the school. Though Mr. Bell has retired from the school board, we hope he will not cease to be interested in our welfare. With regret we bid him farewell in his official capacity and sincerely bid him “God speed” through life. G. M. M U Mil S k O 23 EDITORIAL BOARD Society Editor Eleanor Parker Sport Editor Geo.

During his four years of attendance, he has gradually come to the front, not by intermittent spurts, but by a steady ami certain advance. Butch” reached the climax of his career at the beginning of his senior year when he was elected president of the class and he fulfilled his duty most admirably. On account of this faithful service he was selected to serve the class once more as associate editor of the Munhisko. THE M UNHISKO 27 Senior J tstorp “THEN ANI) NOW” Then:—a thousand memories come flooding into the mind of each of us Seniors as we in turn ponder over this word-memories of long, happy, carefree vears spent in M. II S. When in the fall of nineteen fourteen our large energetic class entered the front door of high school life, little did we dream what was in store for us. We all had brave smiling faces and heads held high; nevertheless, we were at times abashed at the stupendous tasks which opened constantly before us. However, the class of 18 was not one to be easily daunted. It worked together, became strong, and won a wide reputation for accomplishment, not always the orthodox kind. Our boys particularly were noted for their love of a good time. The girls thought Time was given all the love. I Iowever we won’t go into that. Many were the parties, socials, and dances arranged, oftentimes on a day’s notice. Our first year’s credit established us well into the trench of school life. Our Sophomore year was one intermingled with leisure, excitement, and hard work. Certain irresponsible ones broke out at intervals like measles and caused an epidemic of pranks. After this scourge the teachers would be left weak and shaken. The third year found us settled down into the dignity of upper classmen and attempting to win a grand and glorious reputation. The clever ones of our flock presented the best Junior play ever given. The historionic ability of the cast is recorded in the history of the drama. The next event was the annual Junior and Senior banquet, which will ever remain with us a happy memory. Let us pass from “Then” to “Now”. We are Seniors, some may not believe it possible, but. notwithstanding, the office cards certify this to be a fact. Our unsophisticated class of Freshmen has developed into broadened young men and women—if others see us as we see ourselves. No one will deny that we have tried the patience of our teachers, although they excelled Job in this quality; we have upset well laid plans, and have countless deeds to answer for. But these trials and petty grievances have drawn us into closer bonds of understanding and sympathy. Soon our “Now” will be “Then” when we go out into the world of real problems. We have meant to give dear old M. 11. S., our best efforts and she in turn has given us of her abundant store of knowledge. The future only will reveal where the balance stands. Margaret Menke. 28 THE MUNHISK O Class J)ocm The time has come when we must leave the walls Where we have spent so many happy days; With sorrow must we go from out these halls Tor now has come the parting of the ways. Our eager eyes would pierce the misty cloud That shrouds in dimness all our future life. Shall we of glory and of fame be proud, Or shall we weaken in the coming strife? In answer, then, this voice I seem to hear-. Tor liberty and honor ever seek, Strive till a just and worthy goal is near And ever with thy might uphold the weak. Be to thyself and others always true Then will the Master praise bestow on you. Eleanor Parker, ’18. THE MUNHISKO 2Q ELMER R. GIFFORD Technical; Capt. Football; Pres. A. A.; B.

Flower— 38 T 11 E M U N H I S K O tgtorp of Junior Claste Three years ago we entered Munhall High School, an unorganized and unsophisticated class. The least critical could scarcely discover one minute atom of graciousness in the reception tendered us by the more numerous and huskier | Sophs. Though we presented ourselves with immaculate collars and faces brightly shining from soap, they immediately prescribed a hydrant water bath. Our physiognomies also seemed to displease their erratic tastes. So they attempted to metamorphose us into Indian warriors by the application of iodine and red grease paint. The success achieved would not warrant any of them to apply for a job j as an expert camoufleur. After the Christmas holidays we organized our class. Leo Patterson became our president. At first, mob rule reigned supreme at our meetings, but not for long, i and we soon became orderly citizens. As soon as we were Sophomores, we decided to follow the golden rule: “Do unto others as you have been done by”,—literally speaking, to initiate the Freshies. | But on Mr. Bauman’s suggestion, we agreed to determine superiority by a football game. We won and this proved ourselves worthy of our Sophomore position. Patterson’s popularity as Freshman president placed him again in the chair. We are Juniors now. How swiftly the three years have passed! But one more year of high school life! Miss Rankin, who had won the love and respect of all by her wise advice and good counsel the year before, was again unanimously chosen class advisor. Social activities began with a happy reunion at the Municipal Hall. With the first good snow we chartered Mr. Hayes’ bobsled and borrowed Mr. Averbach’s ! horses. Altho it was a very snappy night, we managed to keep warm. In fact, when twenty people are packed into one sled, the amount of space unoccupied does not admit the most slender breeze from Aeolus’s cave. The ride in the open whetted our appetites for the fine lunch awaiting us at Dorothy Schaup’s home. The Junior Play, “Mrs. Temple’s Telegram,” under the excellent coaching of Mr. McCready was not only histrionically a success, but also financially. Raymond Gilleland, business manager, and Herman Saron, stage manager, took care of the business end of the matter very capably. After the play the cast and managers were delightfully entertained at the home of Catherine Allen. That they were loath to depart is borne witness to by the grey eastern sky and the crowing roosters as they trailed homeward. We have always played an important part in athletics and have been well represented on the varsity. I he climax of the Junior year has always been the Junior and Senior banquet but in foregoing this pleasure and giving a hundred dollars to the Red Cross instead, we have received more pleasure than our three years of anticipation of a banquet ever conceived. We also followed the custom introduced by the class of “17” and presented to the school the picture “Dante Meeting Beatrice.” As soon as the new building was finished, the Junior class got a room for itself. We were handicapped before by being separated most of the time. Now since we are all united we mean to work together and to try to make our class the best and to leave nothing undone that will benefit the school. Edgar Cowen.

Tis the honorable class of 1920 with i:s| giggling girls and noisy mischievous boys who are constantly getting in and out of scraps. When we entered M. H. S. we did not remain unnoticed, for if we were not greeted with smiles, we were well supplied with frowns from everyone. In classes we were very quiet and timid as you know all Freshmen should be. Only a short period passed before we showed M. II. S. a little ol our class spirit. We had several social functions which are too important to pass by, and we especially enjoyed the one held on St. Patrick’s Day. We have one lad in our class who is quite remarkable, known as the school midget. Let us pass from Freshman to Sophomore year which is by far the most important. We have not yet fully recovered from our foolishness as it is called by everyone, but we have lucid intervals. The Sophomores have the reputation of being the greatest gum chewers and it was softly whispered that our tonsils are visible at times. We must not forget the good work we have done. The Sophomore Class was the first to conduct a Cafeteria Luncheon for the benefit of the Soldier’s Book Fund which was followed by the other classes. The girls also have a noteworthy basket ball team. We were defeated by the Seniors, but were victorious over the Juniors and Freshmen. Our social functions have been few, much to the annoyance of our President. who tries to bring business matters belore the class, but all in vain, all in vain. Although we had few socials, we had a jolly sleigh ride which was enjoyed by everyone. But aside from all this we are the congenial bunch of Sophomores who hope to leave behind us a most startling career to he looked back upon with pleasant memories in the years to come.

And what do you there, my saucy maid?” Have a spluge good time, of course,” she said.

Treasurer THE M L'NHISKO 46 Ifhsstorp of tljc Class of 1921 The Class of 1021 has hardly had time enough to make for itself a very long history but what it has made is a forecast of its future greatness. When we entered High Sch(x l we felt rather insignificant but we tried very hard to pretend we were quite important. We tried to imitate the Seniors bv attempting to look much at ease: all the time watching their every move out of the corners of our eyes to be sure we were doing just the proper thing. After we became better acquainted with them we found they were not such superior beings as we supposed, that they sometimes made mistakes like the rest of us. and instead of the feeling of awe with which they inspired us at first, we began to realize that they were just human. It is customary for the Sophomores and the entering class to fight for supre-macv. In this fight the Sophomores won the football game but the Freshmen had not yet become accustomed to the feeling of being a High School class, and the habit of pulling together had not been established. The way the Sophomores felt about the remainder of the struggle was shown when they retired to one of their classmates home. Our social life began with a party given by the Juniors and Seniors in honor of the Freshmen and Sophomores. At this social most of the Freshmen played games but some of them danced. At a suitable hour refreshments were served. S(X)ii after the Freshman and Sophomore classes returned the compliment by giving a social in honor of the Juniors and Seniors. After these parties the Freshmen felt more at home. When the school set one period a week aside for knitting we found that the Red Cross would not be able to supply all the wool necessary for our use. So with the energy characteristic of our class we decided to earn the money to buy our own. We gave a Cafeteria lunch and realized the monumental sum of $2Q.OO. Nor have we neglected our scholastic duties in the midst of our other activities. In closing I can not refrain from quoting those touching words of the Immortal Bard: I’ve got a weensie. teensie kitty-cat. What’s got the biggest, loudest most normous meouw I wonder where he keeps it at. It’s big enough to b’long to any cow.

Bieb itlap 17, 1918 T II I£ M U N II ISKO 40 THE M UNHISKO 51 JfootliaU Munhall High School’s outlook for a football team at the beginning of the season was not very bright. Most of the material was new and coach Davis saw that he had a hard job before him. Very few worth while practices were held, and the team in very poor condition opened the season September 22 with the Alumni. This game did not bring out any brilliant playing and ended in a tie score 6-6. The team now got down to some hard practice and on September 20, traveled to Monessen. Here it was welcomed by the whole town. A parade was held in its honor and the game began with half of the town in attendance. The heavy Monessen boys plowed through the Munhall line time after time, but they only managed to run up 19 points. On numerous occasions the Munhall line was shifted to find the best defensive combination, as the coach did not yet know the value of each player. Patterson, Munhall’s end got his ankle sprained. Davis showed up well for Munhall by his end runs. On October 6, Turtle Creek defeated the boys by the astounding score of to to 6. No one has yet anali .ed this defeat. The Turtle Creek team was heavier, the day was cold and the Munhall squad did not seem to have any spirit. Capt. Gifford tried to put pep into his team but to little avail. After this game the team was completely changed around. Backfield men were put on the line and linemen were shifted to the backfield. On October 12, the team came back stronger and held Duquesne University to a 14-0 score. Jester led the team at quarter and the first half Munhall played like a whirlwind. Duquesne was kept on the defensive and a number of times Munhall was only held on the five yard line. In the second half Duquesne came back strong and ran up 14 points. The Duquesne game restored the old pep to the boys and on October 19 their spirit caused them to defeat N. Braddock 20 to o. Taylor played his usual hard game at center and fullback Davis starred on his long end runs. October 26, found the locals at Edgewood. 11 ere they were met and defeated by a team much heavier than themselves. Grecco and Thomas showed up well for Munhall. The game ended 19-7. Irwin journeyed to Munhall on November 2 and were administered a defeat. Grane played his old position of quarter back and Mathieson made his debut as halfback. At this time Coach Davis resigned from physical instructor and Oliver Frankin was secured to coach the team. After practicing hard for two weeks it was badly disappointed when it traveled to Knoxville and found that their team had disbanded. The Knoxville manager had gone to France and had not left any data showing he had secured a game. THE MUNHISKO 52 With lots of pep the team got ready for its game with McDonald on November 16. This team had not yet been defeated and Munhall players marched on the field with a hard task before them. From the start Munhall played veteran football. The line held like a stone wall and on the offense the backfield made consistent gains. McDonald was handed a 33-0 defeat, the highest number of points that had as yet been scored against them. Over enthusiasm over their McDonald victory led the boys to drop their game on November 23 to Ben Avon by a 6-0 score. The team had not played any real football and down-hearted, slunk to the clubhouse. On Thanksgiving the team lined up against its old opponents. Homestead. The field, except that it was frozen was in fine condition. The first half of the game, Munhall had little pep and Homestead rolled up a high score. In the second half Munhall began playing football and scattered the Homestead line as if they were graders. The game ended by a 33-13 score, but Munhall was satisfied. It had proved by the second half that it had the goods. THE MONESSEN GAME THE MUNHISKO 53 SUMMARY M unhall o.................................................

The boys had been practicing there some time previous to the opening game, and thus had an advantage over previous Munhall teams which had to practice in the library. Under the leadership of Captain Krane, the team displayed some excellent ability in the floor game. Early in the season Krane proved his worth by his foul shooting and all around team work. As the season advanced Thomas and Johnson developed into excellent forwards and caged many goals from the floor. Although not successful in winning many games the school was satisfied with the brand of ball the boys had displayed. Most of the games were scheduled with teams out of their class, but this did not deter their determination to have a successful season. SCHEDULE Munhall 38' abroad.

All of the classes were represented, both boys and girls. Numerous surprises were sprung but this only added to the interest. All of the games were hard fought and because of the numerous candidates for each position every player did his best. The boys league was won by the Seniors, through their superiority as tossers.

At the end of the game the score was 12-12. Unfortunately there were some misunderstandings and as a result dissatisfaction arose on both sides. Homestead expressed its opinion very caustically in the daily paper without attempting to investigate the other side or to verify its information. Munhall did not reply as we do not consider it a matter to be settled by argument. Our reputation for fair play will naturally cause all readers to question the aforementioned article. There are always two sides to a question; we confidently believe ours is the right and prefer not to air athletic differences in town papers but rather to be game sports. JBasebaU So early in the season little can be said about baseball. Some very good material is available and although no practices can be held in the open, the pitchers and catchers are already working in the gymnasium. Suits are to be ordered and Coach Colonious has high hopes of a successful season. Munhall won from Turtle Creek, 4-2. THE MUNHISKO SENIOR CLASS TEAMS THE M U N II I S K O 58 ©rcJjestra The I Iigh School Orchestra has played an extensive and praiseworthy part in the high school entertainments. This organization, although purely non-professional and composed merely of students of a musical temperament, has accomplished surprising results. These musical prodigies possess unusual talent which has been accentuated by careful training. Their repertoire is being continually enlarged by the addition of new members, both of a popular and a classical nature. Since each player is, in himself, a good musician, a combination could not be otherwise than harmonic. . Never-the-less, it is generally conceded that it is the director who is the moving spirit of any orchestra. Therefore to Miss James, who has so patiently guided the young musicians to such a perfect harmonious accord, belongs the honor. As long as Miss James continues to direct it, our orchestra will rank among the best. The orchestra consists of the following members:—Sarah Whitten, pianist; violinists, Harry Wilson, solo; Herman Saron; Joseph Grecco; Esther Ramsey; Andrew Docherty, Agnes Gallagher; cornet, Harry Lasdusky; drums, Rhoda Wilson. THE SENIOR’S LAMENT At twenty-eight minutes, after eight I gulped my breakfast off my plate; ’Twas twenty-nine when snatched my books And ran for school with worried looks. But sad to tell, when I got there ’Twas thirty-one by the clock on the stair. So late again to the office I crept, With beating heart my excuse I wept! “The bed was so snug,” I just can’t see Why school doesn’t start later for me. E. P. THE M UNMISKO 60 foetal €bents As befits their position, the upper classmen welcomed the return of the Sophomores and the arrival of the Freshmen by holding a reception for them early in October. At first the Freshmen were quite shy but they soon overcame this and became imbued with the spirit of the place. The under classmen were determined not to be outdone by the Juniors and Seniors, so they united in giving a masquerade in honor of the upper classmen. Never before had such apparitions been seen in the high school as appeared that night, and woe betide the one with a guilty conscience when such terrifying witches and hobgoblins were about! At the end of the football season a banquet and dance was held in honor of the football players and their ladies fair in the Munhall Municipal building. It is sufficient to say that this seemed ample compensation to the noble players for the defeats they had suffered during the season. The Juniors, ever ready for a good time, were inspired bv a heavy snowfall to indulge in a sleighride. They set forth that very night, well equipped with all the well known accessories. That sleigh-ride will go down in the annals of the class as “the best ever.” Emulating this good example, the dauntless Seniors prepared for a sleighride soon afterwards. Dauntless Seniors?” because in the face of such hardships as the collapse of the desired sleigh and the almost impossible task of getting horses, they persevered and were rewarded in the end by a most enjoyable ride. The Freshies and Sophomores also engaged in this delightful winter pastime. I Iowever, as all sleigh-rides are much the same, it is not necessary to go into details, though each class proclaims its own the best. Upon the resignation of Mrs. Baker from the teaching statf of the high school, the upper classmen held a farewell party for her. which was truly magnificent. As a token of their esteem and appreciation of her efforts among them they presented her with a silk umbrella. The Juniors, however, led all the classes in patriotism. They developed wonderful historionic talent and gave a play, “Mrs. Temple’s Telegram.” Former Junior classes used the proceeds of their plays to defray the expenses of a banquet, the class of iqiq preferred to eliminate this festivity and give a substantial money gift to the Red Cross Society. On March twenty-second was held the formal dedication of our new school, to which the general public was invited. Guides directed the visitors about the building; exhibitions of work were shown, both in schoolrooms and in the gymnasium; and last of all there was dancing for these who cared to indulge In it. Thus, our parents and friends as well as we ourselves, enjoyed a pleasant social evening. Eleanor Parker. THE MU N S KO 61 The teachers will be glad at heart, When we, the seniors, do depart; 1 is true we cannot quite conceive, Why they like to see us leave. We own we’re not what you might call Glittering stars among them all; Hut still we strive to do our best (?) And let Hate” care for all the rest. We own sometimes we are quite gav, And frequently do not obey; Hut youth is queer, as you all know, And sometimes lacks respects to show. E. G. JUNIOR PI THE MUNHISKO 6 3 ©ramattcs JUNIOR PLAY The traditional Junior play was presented by the Junior Class on March the first. “Mrs. Temple’s Telegram,” a comedy in three acts, was selected. The play made a decided hit: in fact, it needs no laudatory tribute for the enthusiastic manner with which the large audience received it was a true verdict of its worth. Such an excellent display of dramatic ability was shown by all who took part, that it would be impossible to discriminate in favor of any one person. An important factor in making the play a success was the high aim of the Juniors, which inspired them on to their best efforts. This aim was the donation of a hundred dollars to the American Red Cross. Too much credit cannot be given to this class, not only for entering so whole heartedly into the business of securing the money, but also for unselfishly forgoing the long precedented banquet. Besides the dramatic personal a special word of appreciation must be given to Mr. McCready, under whose capable direction the play was presented. Although this was the first play Mr. McCready had ever coached in our school, it was the general belief that with him as its guide, the play could not be otherwise than good. The high degree of perfection which the actors attained was proof that our expectations were well founded. Mrs. Temple Mr. Temple Mrs. Fuller Mr. Fuller CAST OF CHARACTERS Mrs. Brown - Mr. Brown Wigson “FUN ON THE MONONGAHELA DIVISION” Another initial success was added to the many splendid dramatic performances put on by the students of our High School when the sketch, “Fun on the Monongahela Division” was presented. It was a side splitting, rip snorting comedy. The lunny antics of the actors brought forth continual outbursts of mirth from the audience. A generous share of the credit must go to Miss Rankin, whose patient coaching and capable management made the play possible. On the same evening a charming dance'was given by the pupils of Miss Alberta Schill-inger’s class. The proceeds were given over to the Victorola Fund. SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Senior Class play which will be presented probably on May 24th, is being coached by Professor McCready. The play which is a comedy entitled “An American Citizen,” promises to be very entertaining. This play is not of the ordinary type usually given by High School Students but is of a more difficult nature. However, owing to the way in which everybody is working, it is sure to satisfy the public and also to uphold the reputation won by the Junior play given by the present Senior class. The play consists of four long acts which contain very difficult acting, but it is fast being mastered. The principal characters portray their parts well enough to be mistaken for the original actors themselves; while the frequent appearances of the less important ones add amusement and characterization to the play. As this is the last time the present class will have the opportunity of showing its ability in dramatics, it particularly desires that this play shall meet with the approval of those who patronize it.

How’s this for egotism; ITeshie nominating committee names itself for office. “Sleep at home, not on the football field,” goes in the school room also. The tardy excuses of many tardy girls, like their fair complexions are ostensibly made up and not warranted to stand investigation. Did you ever see a fellow with nerve to burn on most occasions but never nerve enough to dance on any occasion? If one could get drunk on school spirit, some fellows would never need to camouflage their breath. Rufus Rastus Jonsing Brown, What shall we do when reports come ’roun’? The only time some fellows show pep is at dismissal time. Some students who have jaws that work 3000 R. P. M. on chewing gum generally have brains that work 650 R. P. M. on studies. If chapel singing is better with you quiet, then be quiet. Now you- say, “Aw, what’s the use of learning that?” But in ten years. “Oh, why didn’t I learn that!” Some football heroes show that they have more experience at spooning than tackling. If some fellows made as much noise on the football field as in school our cheering would be par excellent. ■ -i ■. R. L. r H E M UNHISKO (Sranbnta’S patriotism Grandma Sidney looked proudly at the socks she had just finished. They were well knit socks and she had worked hard. Once again she read the note, then she folded it neatly and placed it in the toe. She wrapped the jocks carefully and addressed the package to a certain lonely, homeless recruit, whose letter she had read in the paper. There were many more days of knitting and Grandma Sidney sent away more socks with little notes of cheerfulness tucked into the toe. Grandma was very patriotic and the only way she could serve her country was by knitting socks for the boys who were fighting. She always had a hope that she would meet some of the boys she was knitting for. About a month after she had knit the first pair, she was reading the evening paper when her eyes saw these words:—“A soldier at Camp H— is extremely thankful to a certain Grandma Sidn—the remainder ended in a blurr. It seems that Private Irwin had gone out on a long hike wearing a pair of newly received socks. After miles of weary tramping and complaining he was sent back to camp to do guard duty. His one foot was badly irritated, so when unobserved, he removed his shoe and then his sock. There tucked in the toe was this note: “God bless your dear tired feet.” The company had a hearty laugh when they learned the reason of Private Irwin’s discomfort, but he has since made the acquaintance of Grandma Sidney and in the future she is going to put her name on the outside of the package only. George E. Jester. T 11 E M UNHISKO ©ur Class Eleanor Parker ’’I was one bright day four years ago, We came to school with footsteps slow. We Freshies green and bright and gay bought all should happen our own wav. But Sophomores soon made us see That such a thing could never be. With awe, we looked at Seniors haughty Who told us never to be naughty. Next year as Sophomores we came So wise and proud and full of fame. I he greatest class in the whole school! ( 'hough Sophomore does mean wise fool) We looked down on the Freshies small And caused them to respect us all. Obliged were they to bow and say, We’ll always follow in your way.’’ As Juniors grave we settled down And on frivolity did frown; We were so serious and wise. We even did ourselves surprise. At times we did a foolish act I must admit that is a fact. But all good people sometimes stray From off the straight and narrow way. Now we’re Seniors old and hoary Greatly praised and full of glory; A good example we must be For others young and yet carefree. We must be dignified we’re told A nd shun all deeds both rash and bold. No doubt ’tis so, but this I know. We’ll all be sad when out we go. 72 THE MUNIIISKO l.eabes from a Senior ©iarp February 14, igi8. ’Twas moving day in Jungleland. T he new building was anxious to be occupied. Seniors started through the halls with books stacked twenty high, coats thrown over shoulders and hats hanging on the left ear. It was slam bang all the way! Our books aged ten years in this one morning. Their backs were broken and some of their knowledge cruelly torn from them. Such scuffling and noises got the Awe-Inspiring Ones on their ear, and we were greeted with raging expostulations. We made ourselves comfortable in the back seats; the front ones were conspicuous for their emptiness. After we were all settled, our books et cetera put away, we were politely informed that the front seats were especially intended for us. Can you beat that! February 28, igi8. Mary Bluff, one of our Seniors, was summoned to watch the office for a period to see that it didn’t run away. We noticed in the study hall that one by one the Other Sex was quietly slipping out. Someone was sent to investigate; one glance toward the office door brought to mind a run on a bank. The Other Sex was lined up in a long row, waiting their turn to call upon the bewitching one. They deny it but they can just tell it to Sweeney. March 3, 1 g 18. We had an auction sale to-day. It was this way. Since it is still wintry and slushy, rubbers are in style. At noon everybody made one bee-line for coats, hats and the like. Rubbers were nowhere to be found. Diligent searching discovered a corner heaped with said valuables. Some piker, after removing his, had dumped them together like a wagon load of coal. Oh woe and sorrow! We knew not where to begin fishing them out. After we had spent almost our whole noon hour in routing, all departed with rubbers not mates, one old and one good, and two for the same foot, and believe me there is no hope of ever straightening them out, and no canning about it either. March 6, igi8. When I got up this morning my mind began wondering all over creation, to such an extent that I became quite oblivious to surroundings. For several minutes, at the breakfast table, 1 had been calmly munching my toast when my eye suddenly fell upon the clock. Holy Mackerel! Eight twenty-seven! Yours truly grabbed books and sweater and made one grand rush for school. At the top of the hill I bumped into Mary, my chum and companion in distress. When we breathlessly tore into our room the crazy bell had just rung. The principal’s office was next on the program. To our horror and dismay there were just seven other seniors awaiting sentence. Of course, we were told that there were entirely too many late people. To make it worse, all the time we were being scolded other tardy ones came trooping in until the office was almost full. We all lost gym- THE MUNHISKO 73 nasium privileges and were all banished to room seven, there to remain the whole blessed morning while our classes went on calmly reciting without us. Now as for having to miss class and take a zero we didn’t care a rap. hut we balked at having to spend a perfectly grand morning shut up in that one room, when we might he out having some fun. The temptation proved too great for two of us so we quietly exited and were tiptoeing down stairs when we came face to face with—the principal. I will draw the cloak of charity over what happened next. March 21, 1918. I wo Seniors in the German class to-dav aroused the teacher’s anger on account of their talking, giggling, et cetera. The All-Inspiring One made a raid, anti excused these mischief-makers from the class, with the command to proceed to the principal. hen the door closed after them, they, unable to restrain their mirth, found a convenient window sill in the corridor and there took refuge. The teacher became suspicious, spied them out there and escorted them up to the ogre’s den. Alas! I can go no further for tears besmatter the page. I was one! March 23, 1918. We have been studying a book ol essays in English class. The teacher required a daily outline to be written in our note books. We complied for a while, but how under the shining canopy could we take time to do all that high falootin’ stuff every niter Well to-day some of our extraordinaries, whose names occupied the lower places in her grade book, lacked their outlines. All went well until she began to go up the line instead of down. Ye gods! They were swamped. And now the Dutiful One mixes the names all up. No intrigues can get away with it. April 1, 1918. This sure does seem to be my Jonah day. Was almost sent home for being late again, and really it was all the clock’s fault for being an hour earlier than it should have been. Was dismissed from chemistry class, bawled out about sixty 'leven million times for giggling, had my seat changed because 1 talked, and dear knows what else. Shucks. I don’t see why the teachers let little things like that bother them. If the world were chucked full of seriousness, and everyone was demure and good et cetera, we all would soon be morose and morbid and melancholy, wouldn t we? And I certainly don’t believe in worrying oneself sick over the pardonable sins when there are so many unpardonable ones to think about, so there! I. S. T II E MUN II ISKO -t ®fje ®0odi isn’t so large Utter 3U The great clock in the hallway of the old Ainslee homestead struck the evening hour of eight. It was the only sound which disturbed the stillness of the house, except the click of Mrs. Ainslee’s knitting needles and the occasional dropping of the ashes from the great fireplace, which afforded the only light in the spacious living room of the old Southern home. Mrs. Ainslee breathed a deep sigh and then resumed her work on a large sized pair of socks. Suddenly the door of the room opened and on the threshold stood a stalwart young man of about twenty-four attired in olive drab. At the sound of the familiar step, Mrs. Ainslee hurriedly laid aside her work and ran across the room to meet him. Tom!” She cried as she clasped her arms about his neck and gazed admiringly into his honest blue eyes. “Mother, I have news for you to-day,” he announced as he picked her up bodily and seated her comfortably in her chair. “Our battalion leaves for France in two weeks, and I am to receive a commission as Captain.” Tom waited anxiously for his mother’s approval but she did not raise her head and great tears began to stream down her cheeks. “Mother, you surely will not weep and make my two remaining weeks in the good old U. S. A. unhappy!” “No, Tom,” she answered as she tried to smile. “I’ll try to make everything as pleasant for you as possible, but you know I will be very lonesome. If only I had my little girl here to comfort me when you are gone!” “Mother, dear, you must not grieve so over Alice. It is true, she has been lost for nearly seventeen years, but we may find her some day, for they say that the world isn't so large after all.” Alice Ainslee had wandered away from home when only four years of age and although the most competent detectives had been employed to search for her had never been found. Tom, a waif, had been adopted the year following in an effort to mitigate the mother’s grief and take her mind from her lost daughter. After Mr. Ainslee's death, the hearts of the mother and the foster son were bound, if possible, even closer together. He had nowmatured into ideal manhood and had answered his. country’s first call. For several months he had been stationed a short distance from the Ainslee homestead. When he sailed at the end of his furlough. Mrs. Ainslee was almost broken hearted at the thought of his possible loss and the lonely dreary years before her. But her patriotic soul was cheered by the knowledge that she was serving her country by giving her all. Alice Ainslee, the pride of the base hospital at B-, sat beside one of the cots in her ward and fanned its restless occupant. She had had a hard month as the toll of the war had been high in that part of the country and she had spent night and day constantly at her post. As she sat, she heard the rumble ot several T II E M UNHISKO 75 ambulances on the driveway and the doctor’s step in the halls. There was one empty bed in her ward and a motionless form in a blood stained blanket was laid between the snowy white covers. Miss Ainslee, we have a very serious case here. You have proven yourself an an8el 01 mercy and a marvel of endurance. I have brought this young officer to your ward, knowing that he would receive the best of attention,” said Dr. Brown as he removed the blood soaked bandage from the wounded man’s head. “ 1 hank y°u,” she smiled as she quickly and quietly began to care for her new patient. As she watched the motionless figure of the young officer on the cot. her eyes caught the name on the identification card: Captain Thomas Ainslee, Oakdale, North Carolina, U. S. A. She wondered for a moment at the similarity in their names but so much was required of her that she thought little more about it. Through the difficult night watch Dr. Brown assisted her. Occasionally he would leave the ward and return with a worried expression. finally he said, '1 am afraid our patient is ‘going west’. The only thing that will save his life is transfusion of blood and I am not able to find anyone to undergo the operation.” Dr. Brown,’ replied Alice, “I did not know you were looking for someone to do so. If you will accept me, I will be glad to sacrifice my blood to save one of these brave men.” “No, Miss Ainslee, I cannot let you risk your life for you are the very soul of this hospital.” But Doctor, when I enlisted I did so with the intention of giving myself to my country.” Dr. Brown sat for a moment in indecision. Finally he agreed and she prepared hastily for the operation. It proved a success and when at last both were in a state of convalescence they frequently met in the sun room of the hospital. Each had been given a lengthy furlough for recuperation. Captain Ainslee planned to spend his in America as soon as he was strong enough to travel and wondered at Alice’s determination to remain in France. As their acquaintance ripened into friendship lie remarked one day: “Is it not a coincidence that an Ainslee should give blood for an Ainslee. Will you pardon my curiosity if I inquire after your full name?” “My first name. Captain Ainslee, is Alice.” “Alice?” he asked in amazement, “surely not Alice.” “Why, what is the matter with Alice for a name?” “Nothing is the matter—only the sound of the name A Tee Ainslee startled me. Who are your parents? I have no definite memory of my parents,” she answered, “and the only home I remember was an orphan asylum and it was far from being a home— tour bare walls and food. I he only friend I had there was the old gardner who used to call me his little girl because he had found me one day in the forest THE MUNHISKO 76 when I was a child. He had passed a band of gypsies before meeting me and thought 1 had strayed from them. He believed life in an orphan’s home preferable to gypsy life and so made no effort to find my parents. A ring I wore when found was inscribed with the name by which I am known. One day when I grew older a desire to know the world and to live came over me. I slipped out of the garden into the street unnoticed. All day I tried to get work but was unsuccessful. By night I was frightened and faint. I sat down to rest on a park bench and fainted. On regaining consciousness I found myself on a hospital cot. As soon as 1 recovered my strength I entered training there; when our country called I enlisted and here you found me.” For a moment Tom bowed his head. He felt that he had found Alice— Alice Ainslee whose mother had been more than a mother to him. A faint breeze blew back her hair from her face as he looked up. There on her left temple was the diminuitive diamond shaped birthmark that Mrs. Ainslee had been convinced was the one sign by which “her little Alice” could be recognized. “Alice,” he said when he was able to control his emotion, “I have a confession to make to you. I have lived the life of which you have been deprived. Your mother has been mother to me since I was ten years old. She is waiting for you now and she has waited long.” He took a small mimiature from his pocket and handed it to her. “My mother?” she questioned as she kissed it tenderly. “Our mother.” he corrected. She looked up. Tom was waiting for her—Tom who would soon be dearer than her adopted brother—Tom for whom she had risked her life. No, the world is not so large after all. Lillian E. Sigley. I 11 E M U N 11 I S K O HERE AND THERE 7« THE MUNHISKO )t Circus 23ap Irene Snyder ’Twas the time for the circus and all through the class The desire was quite great the parade to see pass. So we all became cross when forbidden to go Down to view the performance of that mighty show. By some one was the brilliant idea conceived To play hook on that day and so do as we pleased. So out on the front corner we all met at one To forget about school and for once have some fun. Well the ground was quite crowded. There were tents galore All exhibiting what the big show had in store. First we visited elephants with their long trunks And we fed them on peanuts we bought by the hunks. Then we saw bears and lions and monkeys in line, Who in common agreed that our peanuts were fine. After animals all we had long inspected We hastened to the tent for the circus erected. Now dear Reader you know how the seats go around About two inches wide and quite high from the ground. We decided up to the last row we would ctimb For the view down from there was exceedingly fine But how di y we got! We began soon to fear That our feet would all slip and we’d fall on our ear. For we seemed to be stationed so terribly high, That our heads were protruding quite into the sky We were finally fixed. There we sat in a row And threw peanuts at people whom we did not know. Then we named all the clowns in white paint as they’d pass And the donkeys and “monks” for some one in our class. From the man we bought all his bright colored balloons, And some cute little whistles on which to play tunes. Sticks of candy and popcorn and gum we all bought, Also every ice cream cone a funny man brought. Well we certainly spent quite a gay afternoon, And the time passed so quickly—in fact all too soon. But next day the cross Principal lectured and raged, We had all disobeyed so, we ought to be caged. ’Twas a crime; we should all be expelled for he said, We were dreadfully sorry. Too great was temptation And we blamed the show for its sad fascination. THE MUNHISKO 79 ®fjc t!jool Slacker With Apology to George Ade Don’t ever get it into your thought rece er that there is only one Species of Slackerus Vulgarus. There are loo bloomin’ many different Varieties. One Common Species of Parasite is the School Slacker. He is that big Stiff who dives into a Movie to see “Diamond Dave” or “Desperate Dan” every P. M. about 4:00 instead of going to a football game. He never misses an Episode of “The Yellow Pincushion” but seldom doesn’t miss a simple Problem in Math. But I will have to give you a longer line about this Horsefly. He bites Faculty, Football Team, Coach, and all Blowouts, while his incessant earsplittin’ “Buzz” rivals a Compressed air Riveter working over time. Any Fellow who could Rope him into a Cheering Practice after Hours would make Hercules and His Twelve Labors look like a Pigmy. Even when he thinks to honor a Game with his Presence the sickly Strength of his cheers sounds as though he were storing his Voice for Grand Opera. In fact the only time he has been heard to open his Yap and Yell is when a teacher has called his Bluff, and given him a Mark as Diminutive as his Knowledge. Does he ever play Football? No, his Yellow Streak is fast Color and will not bleach. Is he physically unfit? Not if the Force of his Kicks is an Indication of his Strength. He will roar like a Battery of “Jack Johnsons” about some, in his opinion, rotten Players on the Team but is blame wary about keeping off said Team. He doesn’t have enough Pep to give a Roach a hot Battle. In School Work he is Fierce. He is about the Laziest Loafer that ever befouled our bellicose Sphere. He never cracks, a Book until he gets a Crack on the Dome. He would just as soon study as a Tramp would take a Bath. A Flv-Swatter at the North Pole puts in more work Hours than he. He thinks he is a regular German Ambassador when it comes to Bluffing. By means of his never missing an opening to crib and his 4 leaf Clover Talisman against getting caught, he muddles along through School. His High Ideal in Life is to get it into the Cocos of his Fellow Students that he is Clever, while as a Sneak Thief he makes Raffles green with Envy. His idea of Humor is pounding a desk with a Ruler till the whole Bunch feel like taking a slant at his Beak. Then when the Teacher bawls him out he thinks he is a smart little Animal Grabber. When his Class pulls off a Dance, does he come? Does he come! Yes, after knocking the Dance for Weeks, he stags it, “The Members of the Social Committee are Fatheads, the President is a Ham”, the Girls are silly Fools, but when the Calendar announces the date of the great event he is there with his Silk Handkerchief, Red Necktie and India Rubber Stomach. He monopolizes the Chickens all Evening and in Von Hindenburg style attempts to elbow out the Fellows who have been Men enough to bring Girls. 8o THE MUNHISKO Did somebody ask the Antidote for this Incarnation of Poison Gas? Smash his Ugly, Deceitful, Egotistical Face as if he were a Hohenzollern. Ostracize him until he ceases to howl. The time has come to give All Slackers the Boot and don’t I looverize on the School Slacker. Moral: Don’t let anybody in dear old Munhall High be a Slacker. Richard Lincoln. Were fighting hard this war to win By watching close the wheat in our bin. Hat buckwheat cakes, corn meal and rye, And do without the apple pie; Observe your meatless porkless day, Then butchers none you’ll have to pay. Soon will the boys grow strong and fat, And Kaiser Bill will be smashed flat! Lois Zimmerman, ’18. THE M UNHISKO 81 Alumni Sppartumtf CDttrii iProf. JSauman 82 THE MUNHISKO aiumttt 1906.

You form a group of stanch, loyal friends such as few men can hope to attain. I have seen most of you come into the high school bringing with you the hope and cheer of eager childhood. I have seen many of you go out, carrying with you new hope and new cheer into the higher schools and into the greater school of affairs. The world expects more of you than of those who quit school at the end of the Eighth Grade. The world has bigger things to give you to do. Go into the world and do them. — ■ T II E MUNHISKO 87 Oud advertisers have not only made this “Munhisko” possible, but enabled the Class of ’18 to promote such a project.
