Text from Pages 1 - 116 of the 1923 volume:

Ah, stately building, with thy columns tall! Like everlasting arms they heavenward stretch High toward the sphere clime, to strongly hold Exalted, overhead the sheltering roof; While massive walls arise to shut within Those scenes we love to call to mind. How like thy principles, thy high ideals That reach into the very folds of heaven! From thence alone can come such lofty aims And doctrines, giving to surrounding air An atmosphere of pureness and of reverence Which doth distinguish thee from evil dens That cowardly stand around thee on all sides. Stop, youth, and realize that these are things Too far beyond thy pen. Nor could a bard With rhyming words well sung to music sweet Praise such celestial principles that are Upheld within these walls. Then how much less C'anst thou? But think, dost not the noble work That is performed within these very walls Speak loudly for itself, nor needs thy praise? —James F. lidnie THE MUNHISKO THE STAFF Editor-in-Chief..................

The last issue appeared in 1918. In the interim printing costs arose so high that a temporary discontinuance of this year book became imperative. The class of 1928 attempts a resumption of its publication only after much enthusiasm inspired a confidence that it could surmount many difficulties. We have tried to place between the covers of this book the memoirs of our last year at high school, over which we may weep or laugh in the coming years. And if the reader does not find as much pleasure in scanning its leaves as we experienced in collecting them, may In at least be charitable. —The Editor Three THE MUNHISKO DEDICATION (En (Charles IF. 111. iHrCCrrahu principal and teacher, whose high ideals, practical philosophy, and love of honor will be our inspiration even when high school days are dim memories, we, the members of the Class of 192M. dedicate this number of “THE MUNIIISKO“ Four THE MUNHISKO == == = Table of Contents The staff ______________________________________________ 2 Foreword_______________________________________________ 3 Dedication ______________________________________________ 4 The School Board.................................__......

And carefully as we grow old The Potter’s hand the clay doth mold. It thus has been since ever we, As whining school-lads, first did creep Like snails to school unwillingly. The Potter’s wheel and Time did keep The lump in shaping as it grew; Tint now the finished pot we view. Ah, senior, note that metaphor, And think upon our past twelve years With all the joys and woes they bore! Cannot we see ’mid laughs and fears “The man in making”? Ah. we feel The work of Time and Potter’s wheel. Our school-days! We can find in them Much good, some bad; but do we not Their virtues love, their faults condemn? 'Twas then Ambition’s candle caught A spark. It brightly burns today To urge us on and lead the way. “A tale that's told” is life when done; A canto of our tale’s complete. The future’s page we scorn to shun; What it doth hold for us. we'll meet. Come fair or foul; with courage strong We’ll stoutly strive to right the wrong. Though dimly we the future see. Strong purposes our minds possess. And ne’er unmindful may we be Of Virtue’s crown as we progress. “Excelsior” we must attain! Our school-days have not been in vain. —James Ednie Sixteen DOROTHY LILLIAN AVERBACH Academic Course. Munhisko Staff: Business Manager. Dramatics (1) (3) (4). Class Play. Interclass Basketball (4).

From the very beginning our class stood out as one especially fitted to represent the school in scholarship. W e have led on the honor roll. Was a pupil required for a difficult or responsible task, he was sought and found in our class; and no one ever failed in his trust. In debating also we leave an enviable record. As juniors we won the junior-senior debate and were chosen in preference to the seniors to represent tin school in the Allegheny County debate; and in 1923 we triumphed over the juniors. Socially our class is among the first. We not only had more parties than the other classes, but all looked forward to them with eagerness. One peculiarity of our parties was the abundant supply of nourishment—something uncommon to most class affairs. Our class record athletically is one to be proud of. We have had more than our share of stars on the gridiron, on the floor, and on the track; and we have furnished a captain both for the football and the basketball teams. Now we are about to leave this institution wiser in the ways of the world than when we entered. We realize how much more we must learn before we approach those high ideals imbedded in our minds by the brave, conscientious teachers of Munhall High and acknowledge our great debt to them and to the school for guiding us upon the right path to attainment and to better lives. —Sarah Gustafson $ Twenty-four THE MUNHISKO 1 Class Prophecy Munhall, Pa.. May 31. 1933. Dear Helen: — Ten years since we left dear old Munhall High! I have just returned from France, where for the last six years 1 have been teaching English in a private school for girls. As I left the ship I bought a copy of The New York Times. But why repeat the headlines that you have ere this read! I immediately sent a cablegram to Kathryn .James, congratulating her for breaking the running broad jump record at the Olympian games. I have since heard that she has agreed to coach the Vassar track team next year. As I got out of the taxi at the New York Central Station. I met Sarah Gustafson. She had just returned from Chicago, where she has established a branch of her famous designing shops. She told me much about her flourishing business. I asked her the whereabouts of our classmates. She pointed to my paper and answered that 1 could locate one of them by reading the editorial page. I followed her suggestion and there learned that John Punzak is the editor of The New York Times and a political leader. On Sarah’s urgent invitation I postponed my trip home and spent a delightful week end with her. I am now wondering how much was unadulterated hospitality on her part and how much was business, for she persuaded me that I needed a new gown and that her shop was an ideal place to leave my order. That night we attended the Hager, Bridges, Metz concert. Before the hour set for the artists’ appearance the house was sold out. Lee is now known as a second Fritz Kreisler. Across from us in a box sat a rising young criminal lawyer, who bowed most graciously in response to our stares. It is said that Harold Grossman formed his inclination for jurisprudence in Mr. Walbert’s social problem class. His private secretary is none other than Clara Simmen. During the intermission Harold sent an usher to us with an invitation to breakfast with him the next morning at Sherry’s. Of course, we accepted! I was delighted with the breakfast, so I asked who the chef was. “Why,” exclaimed Harold, “don’t you know that he is an old classmate of ours who in 1923 won the Duquesne basketball game with his wonderful foul shooting? Cyrus Miller, of course.” We were recalling events of our school days when Harold informed us that Jennie Bythewa.v is private secretary to John Rockefeller. Jr.; and our class midget. Eddie Graff, who was known throughout the scholastic world as a clean sportsman, has iust completed a most successful season as coach of the Yale football team. I was surprised to hear that Oliver Gilleland is chief chemist in the General Electric Company of New York, and that Margaret Brownlee is teaching biology in the Brooklyn High School. What a surprise met me when I reached Munhall! No one had told me of the magnificent new station, and, as I did no. recognize the place, I would surely have been carried past had not a familiar voice shouted my name and asked me why I did not get off. It belonged to the station master. John Guidish. The next few weeks were delightfully spent renewing old friendships. One day Rebecca telephoned and suggested that we call upon Georgina Taylor and Fern Orris, who have just returned from Chicago, where they have their “Venus de Milo Beauty Shoppe.” Rebecca, I suppose you know, is head of the commercial department of Carnegie Tech. To Whitaker we went over the new suspension bridge, which was constructed by Francis O’Malley and James Ednie, now renowned engineers. I was very sorry that I did not return home two weeks sooner before they left for South America, where they are going to fill a large bridge construction contract. I was amazed to see the beautiful homes Twenty-five THE MUNHISKO and business houses in the new district. Saul Cohen and Isadore Schermer have both established large stores and are following in the footsteps of their fathers; and Dorothy Averbach owns the largest pharmacy in the valley. We made an engagement with Georgina and Fern to go to the Alvin Theatre to see Marie Timko, who is now a character analyst. I am sure that she is capable, as she has been practicing it ever since our senior year in high school. As we entered the foyer of the theatre we met Isadore Numeroskv, who is a successful judge in the Pittsburgh Circuit Court. During the intermission we went into Marie’s dressing room; there we found her in conversation with Marjorie Williams. Marjorie is the head nurse at the West Penn Hospital. But. Helen. I have been telling you about everyone else, it is time that we learned something more about you beyond that you are happy and contented in your little gray home in the West. Why not a visit to Munhail at an early date? Until we meet, CLARA COX Farewel 1 Add ress As we stand upon the threshold of manhood and womanhood, reminiscences of the past high school days crowd the memory. Reminiscences, cheerful or sorrowful, bring us to this question: “Was my high school career at Munhail worth the time and the effort expended?” High school is one of the most important stepping stones in the life of any person, if we may judge from the sentiments of both graduates and non-graduates. Any one who has not bridged this gap finds that he has suffered a loss which cannot be replaced it is a greater loss than a college career. For these years which we spend in high school are years in which a great change, a metamorphosis, takes place. The wise, mature counsels of prudent teachers stand us in good stead. Excellent traits of character, indispensable in future years, are developed. There is a chance to engage in recreational games which build the body and the mind at the same time- games which form habits of fair play and self confidence. It is true that there are successful men who have not had a high school education, but such cases are rare—exceptions, not rules. The great majority of business men and women in general are not geniuses possessing natural ability, but those who have built a firm intellectual foundation by attending high school. We. the class of 1923, as we look back with experienced eyes, possibly see now where, if we could begin over again, we should not make the mistakes we have made. And, if experience is the best teacher, most of us have a wonderful store of knowledge. So now, as we leave better prepared, we wish to make a public expression of gratitude to our teachers for their interest in us. As the years go by, we shall cherish more and more their devotion and patience; our obligation to them will increase day after day; we shall always recall their names and associate them with pleasant memories. The places we leave vacant will be taken by others, leaving to us only pleasant, but, nevertheless, valuable recollections. Truly all of us will answer in the affirmative. “Yes. Our high school days have been worth the time and effort expended.” But this is not the end. As Longfellow said: “Let us then be up and doing. With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing. Learn to labor and to wait.” —J. R.

DULCY In this little comedy the authors, Messrs. George 8. Kaufman and Marc Connelly, have brilliantly expressed a “gay thought about some kinds of human foolishness.” It satirically outlines sketches of actual beings happily recognizable as human. Burns Mantle, play critic, in his book “Best Plays of the Year,” lists Dulcy as one of the ten best plays produced in 1922.

Anna Thirty THE MUNHISKO ■ = History of the Class of 1924 Three years ago we entered the Munhall High School as green a class as ever embarked upon tin4 sea of knowledge. We, however, did not retain the emerald hue very long, but soon became accustomed to our new surroundings. After Christmas we organized with Charles Moyer as president, and Mr. Mc-Cready as class advisor. True to ancient tradition we started our sophomore year with tin initiation of the freshmen. This duty over, we entered into tin sterner requirements of high school life, determined to make a better record than in the previous year. In social activities, in athletics, and in scholarship, we attempted to make a name for ourselves. Now we are juniors, probably more dignified, certainly wiser than we were two years ago. Mr. Stuempfle was elected class advisor, succeeding Mr. McCreadv, who took up bis duties as principal of the high school. Our junior year, thus far, has proved to be a banner one. Our social activities started with the freshman reception. This was followed by two class parties. Our class was represented in football by eight men and in basketball by two men and three women. We also presented several plays Ut the chapel periods. Too much credit for the success of our dramatic activities cannot be given to Miss Schillinger, under whose able coaching they were developed. Our junior days are almost over and we begin to look forward to the time when we shall be seniors. Although our class lias diminished in numbers, it still promises to be tin largest senior class in tin history of Munhall High School. May it also rank high in progressive leadership! —ROBERT GUINEY '24 Thirty-one THE MUNHISKO Thirty-three THE MUNHISKO The Sophomore Class Roll Albrecht, Edward Booth, Paul Bresko, Joseph Brownlee, Kenneth Busch, Edward Buterbaugh, Preston Davis, John Ednie, Thomas Elliott, Alan Gilchrist, Burton Grosset, William Jackson.

Alberta Thirty-four THE M U N H I S K O History of the Sophomore Class We began our high school career as a very large class. Indeed, so many did we number that about seventy of us were obliged to report in the study hall. Now, although some have dropped by the wayside, we are the largest sophomore class Mun-hall has ever welcomed. Nor is it a case of quantity, not quality. The upper classmen that last year called us “dumb Freshies seemed to possess such an opinion, but we showed them that a high percentage of the honor roll pupils were enrolled in outclass. This year many of our class members have played on school teams. One was on the football squad and played almost every game. Both boys and girls belonged to basketball teams. Indeed, in every school activity the sophomores have had a noteworthy representation. Only half the tale is told: the remainder is yet to be unfolded. But if the past foretells the future as truly as do the straws indicate the direction of the current, then may we predict for the class of 1925 leadership in athletics, in scholarship, and in the right. —ELLEN KKAM Thirty i(ix uo.vas-Xjamx 0 1 S 1 1 H N n IAI 3 H 1 FRESHMEN GIRLS—CLASS ROLL Alexander, Elizabeth Anderson.

Ralph Thirty-nine THE MUNHISKO History of the Class of 1926 Everything was in a grand state of excitement on that never-to-be-forgotten morning of September 5, 1922, as our motley crowd of “Presides” entered tin Munhall High Schooi. “Where’s our report room?” “Is he our teacher? “Say. I think we’re lost!” were but a few of the many questions for which we, in our confusion, sought answers. Our crowd was well seasoned with energetic young people from Munhall. Homestead Park, Franklin, and Whitaker. We ran around the halls like frightened rabbits, and acted very queerlv on the momentous occasion of entering high school. Judging from our report cards many found it difficult to get started in their work, for only four names of our enrollment of one hundred and twelve were on the honor roll for the first period. Subsequent reports, however, showed a vast improvement, and some teachers have even said that they are not disappointed in the least, but on the contrary, entertain great hopes for our future. One of the bright spots of this year was the “Preside” party, provided by the sophomores, juniors, and seniors. It was held in October, a short time after school began. This party gave us an insight into the social activities of school life of which we would be participants in the future. Needless to say, all enjoyed the affair, especially the upper classmen. (Ask some of the seniors who became acquainted with freshman lassies). Our class was represented on both the football and the basketball teams this year. A good showing was made. Consequently we feel certain that Munhall may look forward to winning more laurels in the future. In our estimation we have two capable representatives in the Student Council in the persons of Mildred Keltz and Harry Welsh. They have been doing their work as only freshmen can. Altogether our freshman year has been most enjoyable. We wish to take this opportunity to thank our teachers for the patience and interest they have shown. We hope to prove to them that their troubles in our behalf have not been in vain, for we aim to increase the honor roll in the sophomore year, to double its present membership: while in the junior and senior years we shall be the “Beacon Lights” in the Munhall High School, not only from a literary standpoint, but from the standpoint of school life and spirit in general. What may one not prophecy for the future history of the class of 1926, a class with such noble aspirations and high ideals! —ISZELLA BELL, ’26 Forty THE MUNHISKO EDITORIALS Student Co-operation in School Government Bv student co-operation in school government we mean that the students work hand in hand with the teachers and principal to develop better discipline with less coersion. In our democratic country we are brought face to face with actual participation in our government just a few years after we graduate from high school. If we are to become responsible, representative citizens, we must be brought into contact with the actual making and obeying of laws earlier than our voting age. The high school is a training school for our future citizens. It is a place where we can become accustomed to making our laws; there we learn to abide by them without feeling that we are held from our personal liberty. For surely we are morally responsible to obey the laws that we make. The high school is an ideal place to learn to make allowance for differences in opinion and to realize that our way is not the only way. It is time for us to learn to look at a question from the standpoint of the other fellow. We must not be too hasty; we must carefully consider our words and actions lest consequences unforeseen and undesirable result. The idea of co-operation among students must become firmly instilled in the minds of all before it will work satisfactorily. The under classmen should be taught by the upper classmen that it is a privilege. Very important is it that the upper classmen show exemplary respect for the constitution adopted by the student body, lest the under classmen decide that it is merely a scrap of paper, not to be considered as a set of laws which they must obey. It is generally known that some few attempt to run most affairs. They carry these ideas out into politics in attempting to turn measures Forty THE MUNHISKO to their own ends. They do not stop to consider whether it would he the best for all or only for their own benefit. In school we must learn to respect the opinions of others. If our own are not accepted by the majority, we should support the leaders for progress, although we do not agree exactly with them. We must play the game. Let us refrain from criticizing everything which seems to interfere with us as individuals only. Let us make student co-operation a success in our schools so that we can take away with us a desire to aid our state and our nation by helping to enforce their laws. In as much as we make the laws under which we live and by which we are protected, we are responsible for their existance. Therefore we should try not to violate, but to support them to our utmost abiilty. —Al. A. BROWNLEE Requirements for Graduation the unit system of accrediting is used. One weighted unit is given for the successful completion of five periods a week of prepared work of one years duration. Eighteen units are required by our school for graduation. Of these units not more than two may be earned in unprepared work, such as music, drawing, gymnasium, sewing and cooking. One of these units must be made in physical education unless the pupil is excused from the same by a doctor’s certificate. At the regular meeting of the Munhall School Board, held April 9th, the following changes were made in the weighting of units: A final grade of from 70 to 85 shall count 1 unit; from 8(i to 93. 1.1 unit; and from 94 to 100, 1.2 units. This change goes into effect in the school year 1922-1923. No subject giving less than 0.5 unit shall he weighted. Every subject taken two or more years in arrear of one’s class shall be counted toward graduation at the rate of 0.2 unit less than the earned value. Of the thirty-four pupils graduated from our high school in 1921. twenty-six entered college, normal school, or a technical school. This means that 79.4 per cent of our graduates that year are continuing their education. Of the twenty-nine graduates in 1922, fourteen, or 48.3 per cent, are at present continuing their education. That is, of the sixty-three gradutaes of the last two years 04.4 per cent are still affiliated with some institution of learning. E. R. CARSON Mr. E. K. Carson, wlio left at the beginning of this school year to enter a special field, was elected principal of the Mnnhall High School in 1919 and held that position for four years. Thus it happened that the class of 1923 passed through three of its four happy years while he was the high school head. The four years of Mr. Carson’s principalship were very trying, and much credit is due him for the able manner in which he conducted the affairs of the school during that period. In 1919 occurred the fire which destroyed the auditorium in the central building. This deprived the entire school of an assembly room other than the gymnasium, and never before was a loss so greatly felt. The school board was appealed to, and the result was the erection of the east wing of the high school, containing five class rooms and an auditorium which ranks with the best in estern Pennsylvania. Mr. Carson, while acting as principal, also taught physics and chemistry. His place in those two departments has been taken by Mr. Stuempfle. One of the chief factors in the upward climb of Munhall teams in various sports in the last few years was the wonderful encouragement which they received from their principal. Always a believer in fair, clean play, Mr. Carson inculcated the spirit into the Munhall athletes, and consequently they have many times been commended on their excellent sportsmanship. Mr. Carson’s interest in sports were second only to his interest in scholastic ability. He inaugurated the custom of posting the period honor roll, thus creating a goal for which every student might strive; he interested the students in debating, as a result of which interest the county debates were entered and several victories won; he sponsored every move which would enable, the students to become more familiar with up-to-date science. The entire school extends its thanks to Mr. Carson for all he has done and the interest he showed. It wishes him success in his new field of endeavor. —EI)I fOR Forty-three THE MUNHISKO Student Activities FOREWORD All students entering Munhall High School should learn at once that their status is not that ot' a slave or a puppet, but the standing of a citizen in a self-governing group. They must therefore govern themselves accordingly and recognize that the right to self-government carries with it the full responsibility for good government. This right should be so cherished by the present students of Munhall High School that it can be passed on as a rich legacy to all new students entering the institution and be a lasting proof of the success of student participation in school government. It is a trust to us. students, to be maintained and perpetrated as a means of our own personal growth as well as a monument to those who follow us. n Co-Operation Forty-four Do ' - THE MUNHISKO Forty-five = = THE MUNHISKO _ THE STUDENT COUNCIL Student Co-operation Within the last two years, the much-talked-of modern educational idea— student co-operation in the government of the school—has been inaugurated and adopted in the Munhall High School. Last year, in its incipient form, the official body was a student council, composed of the presidents of the four classes and a representative elected by each class. These eight, under the direction of the principal, constituted the council. Among some of the things this council did were the codifying of the regulations governing school socials and awards, the management of the annual football banquet, and the supervising of parades. This year the entire council was elected by the student body and faculty. Each class nominated not more than six members of its group. Of these six. two were elected to serve on the council. The date of the election was coincident with the date of the political election held in November. Two faculty representatives also were elected at this time. So far this council has revised some of the laws governing the awarding of letters to members of the teams; instituted the giving of two cups to the winners in the inter-class boys’ and girls’ basketball league; and drafted and adopted a constitution governing the actions of itself and those of the student body. Many an assembly period was profitably passed in discussing the articles of this constitution, in learning by practice, the rudiments of parliamentary law, and in giving youth a chance to formulate the rules under which it was to live. It must be said that a majority of the students always made sane decisions. These meetings have a very vital, intimate connection with the life, thought, and mode of action of the individual student. Here is given a chance for true, live leadership. The quibbler and the “chronic irritant” are and should be discouraged. Awards The following ruling was made governing the awarding of school honors: 1. Any person who has played in sixty per cent of the number of quarters in any regularly scheduled games for that season; who has practiced faithfully in at least two-thirds of the practices unless excused by the coach; who, after having played in sixty per cent of the games, did not fail in more than one study in school work nor drop that branch of athletics voluntarily; who has obeyed all training rules, put forth his best effort and has at all times been a clean, sportsmanlike player, is entitled to a letter in the line of athletics in which said played engaged. 2. Any student manager who has faithfully performed the duties appointed him by the faculty manager, and who has honestly taken care of all school property entrusted to his care shall, on the decision of the committee on awards, be given a manager’s letter. 3. Class numerals shall be awarded to all second team men on the football squad who have been faithful in participating in four-fifths of the practices. Such attendance must be strictly kept by the coach, manager, or by someone appointed by the coach. This ruling will go into effect in the school year 1923-1924. 4. Any person representing his class in inter-class basketball games shall receive class numerals providing he has fulfilled the requirements in Rule One above. Funds for Munhisko The funds required for financing The Munhisko have been raised by the following means: By requiring all individuals and classes to pay for their pictures, by subscriptions, by advertising, by the sale of candy, and by public entertainments. In the School Review. March, 1923, we learn in an article “The Cost and Financing of Student Publications.” that “the total amount spent for annuals in 159 high schools was $220,950 or an average of $1389.62 per school. Our annual is costing us about $600.00. Forty-six . 1'he Honor Roll The Honor Roll and the giving of some award to pupils whose names appear on this roll are the outcome of a principle. The principle is this —to recognize excellence in scholarship and to reward this excellence in some definite manner. It has become common in secondary schools to recognize proficiency in the various lines of athletics by awarding medals, school monograms, letters, and numerals to pupils who meet certain requirements in various athletic contests. Every secondary school of appreciable size has its quota of letter-men. football stars, sweater-men. track medalists, and what-nots, in recognition of its prowess in athletics. This is as it should be. Excellence in any line should be recognized and rewarded. On the other hand, not every school recognizes proficiency in scholarship to such an extent that it is willing to make a special award for high school scholarship. It is true that a diploma is given to the student at the end of his scholastic career, in recognition of his excellence. A meagre award this, when one considers that the same kind of a diploma is also handed to the athlete, who in many cases has to be petted, reprimanded. threatened, and cajoled to attend to the scholastic side of his school life, lest he should fail to obtain his diploma. In view of this fact, last year the Honor Roll was instituted in our high school. The roll, made up at the end of each report period, contains the names of all pupils whose period average of all studies is ninety per cent or above, providing no grade is below eighty per cent. There are six report periods in the year. This roll is posted on the door of each report room and is kept there until it is replaced by the roll for the succeeding period. Should a pupil succeed in having his name on the roll for the six periods, he is given a gold “honor roll” pin. If his name appears but five times out of the six, he is awarded a silver “honor roll” pin. In this way a definite award is given to those who have done consistent excellent work in scholarship. The aim of the whole matter has been tritely stated by the ancient Latins “Palmam qui meruit ferat.” Let him who deserves it bear the palm—whether in athletics or in scholarship or in life. The following were the Honor Roll medalists for the year 1922:23: GOLD MEDALISTS 1. Dorothy Averbach 7. Victor Magnuson 2. Irene Brownlee 8. Dorothy Parker 3. Margaret Brownlee 9. John Punzak 4. Helen Cox 10. Emma Weber 5. Ellen Keam 11. Julia Whitten 6. Esther Magnuson SILVER MEDALISTS 1. Sarah Gustafson 4. Alberta Stafford 2. Rudolph Janosko 5. Theodore Taylor 3.

After an appropriate program, which concluded with the singing of the national anthem. Mr. Stone removed the Hag from the tablet. The entire audience stood with bowed heads while the names of the thirty-two alumni who served in the World war and the thirteen in the S. A. T. C. were read. The cruel pangs of war were brought home to every student when Mr. Stone read the names of the two boys who made the supreme sacrifice that the nation “of the people, by the people and for the people” might not be insulted and disgraced. When the names of Ellsworth Davies and Wallace Mechling were read, those words of Addison rushed into the minds of the audience: Methinks I hear the drum’s tumultous sound. The victor’s shouts and dying groans confound. The dreadful burst of cannon rend the skies, And all the thunder of the battle rise.” The solemnity of the occasion impressed the pupils very greatly. Words failed to express their deep emotions, so great was the effect upon them. Nor was this a momentary impression for a heavy gloom overshadowed the school the entire day. It resembled a house where the “ . . . .air is hushed, save when the weak-eyed bat, With short, shrill shriek, flits by on leathern wing.” This Memorial Tablet was bought from the money contributed by the various classes from 1918 on. It is a bronze tablet, two feet by a foot and a half and contains the names of forty-five Munhall alumni who served in the World War and in the S. A. T. C. This tablet may now be seen on the left wall of the foyer in the auditorium. —FRANCIS OMALLEY ’23 Dedication to Those Alumni of Munhall High who answered the call of their country in the World War, 1914-1918, and in memory of those who gave their last full measure of devotion.

And now that winter with its bitter cold is coming I long with a sad heart for the old gatherings of our family when we were all younger and perhaps a little happier. As I sit here tonight in my room, lighted only by the flames of a smelly gas stove, I seem to forget my surroundings; the present seems to vanish and I am again living in the glories of my past life. The snow is falling fast outside and there is a bitter wind howling as it rushes round tin house; but this does not bother us. for we are a happy family sitting around tin roaring flames on the great stone hearth. The sweet fragrance of burning wood fills the room, and soft shadows falling here and there seem to eliminate everything save our family group before tin fire. In an old, comfortable arm-chair is grand-dad—tin picture of perfect contentment with his snowy white hair, his long stemmed pipe filled with his favorite Virginia tobacco, and his open Bible in his lap. Beside him is dad. resting from his tiresome day at the office, lie is reading in some current topic magazne. the “Literary Digest perhaps, about the chaos of the Orient, which is his favorite subject. My sister Ruth, wearing a blue dress of some soft material, is playing chess with Lester, our oldest brother. They are both intensely interested in their game. Granny is also there with a bright red scarf around her shoulders, her gray hair piled high on her head, and her glasses on her sharp nose to relieve the strain on her eyes, for she is knitting a pair of blue and white socks with her ever busy fingers. Mother is sitting in a low chair, rocking gently to and fro with Buddy in her arms. She is humming him to sleep with an old fashioned melody and a look of contentment and happiness creeps over her careworn, but lovely face. Ah yes, I too, am there, sitting on a low stool, popping corn. How 1 love to listen to that pop. pop of the corn when as if by magic, the little seeds turn into white puffs of pop corn which crack under the teeth when one eats them. Jerry, my angora cat, is purring lazily, cuddled up close beside me. Then suddenly this picture of complete happiness vanishes and I come back to the practical reality of what life is today. And with a sob 1 realize that which is past can never be again; for. as we grow older, life loses much of its magic charm of happiness and contentment. —DOROTHY PARKER 22 Forty-nine Scraps from the Senior Barmecide Banquet TEAM WORK ISADORK NUMEROSKY AS CHAIRMAN The next speaker on this evening’s program will discourse on the subject of “Team Work. .Judging from the support given our teams at all times, I am certain that this subject will prove of keen interest to each and every one of us. Kipling understod its importance: “It’s not the guns or armament Or the money they can pay. It’s the close co-operation That makes them win the day! “It’s not the individual Or the army as a whole. But the everlasting team work Of every bloomin’ soul.’’ TEAM WORK FRANCIS O’MALLEY Team work is a queer thing. One time it is permitted, another time it is prohibited. It all depends upon where we are and what we are doing. “L’union fait la force —in union there is strength—is the motto adopted by the senior French class. But the instructor has an aversion for it and compels us to follow. “Chacun pour soi”—each one for himself. We do not like this motto so well as the one that we adopted, for we believe that two heads are better than one, even if one is a cabbage head. Our Principal has been endeavoring to install in our minds the principles of co-operation. But when we attempt to put them into practice in our classes our instructors object. Now what are we poor unfortunates to do? One teacher tells us to be co-operative: the other says each one for himself! If we help one another we disobey our instructors; if we do not work together, we run afoul of the Principal. Truly, it is another Scylla and Charybdis. We boys go out on the football field in September to try to make the team. We are told that it is our own individual showing that will determine whether we are successful or not. Then it is every one for himself. About two weeks later, after we have learned the motto fairly well, we have a scrimmage and we are told that each player must work in co-operation with his team-mates. Now we are all mixed up again. Is it any wonder that we have throbbing headaches and grow thin like Cy Miller. Even when we graduate we shall not be through with this puzzle. We shall have to provide our own livelihood and maybe someone else’s! Many will probably go to the mill to work. Here we must earn our own living. We must tend to our own work and affairs. But at the same time, we must be co-operative. If we are not, some fellow, working in a crane and attending strictly to his own work, is likely to give us an ungentle touch and phooey—we are in Paradise! And so it is all through life. TIIE REFEREE OLIVER GILLELAND The referee is the king of all, the supreme judge, and high potentate. At least that’s the way he appears to me at a basketball game. He steps down on the floor with a brisk, authoritative air, calls the two captains together, tells them lie’s boss, and they are not to argue with him. With a condescending air he lets them choose their baskets and get their teams ready. Then he starts the game. From his actions one would think that all the men on the floor were escaped convicts. He runs all around watching their every move to see that they don’t steal the ball or kick their opponents in the shins. If he thinks the game is becoming somewhat slow, he blows his whistle and tosses up the ball to watch the players jump for it. If there is any question as to who jumped the higher, he brings the ball back and makes them jump over again. He always stops the game about the middle, chases both teams off the floor and takes a rest. MORALE HAROLD GROSSMAN When I was asked to make an after dinner speech, I felt somewhat like the young Norwegian who was asked to write an essay on the frog. Although he didn’t know much about frogs, he decided that he would take a chance, and so he composed this: “What a wonderful bird the frog are! When he stand he sit, almost. He ain’t got no tail, hardly, either. When he sit he sit on what he ain’t got, almost.” I don’t know much about after dinner speaking, but I shall take a chance and try to give you a little clearer idea about morale than the Norwegian did about frogs. I shall try to tell you what it is and what it will do for you. The dictionary says that morale is that spirit that makes a soldier advance in the face of great danger. Morale is that, and more. Morale is the “do or die” spirit—the spirit that makes a fellow go on after he can go no further. If the players on the teams are determined to win, they can win. In all phases of life it is the same. If you are determined to reach a certain goal, nothing can stop you. If you have morale you become an irresistible force. Acquire morale. Make yourself into an irresistible force, and you are bound to succeed in the school or in business. ATHLETICS AND SPORTS CYRUS MILLER I might ask, what are athletics and sports? They are activities in which are exercised physical and mental strength. In them every qualified student should take part and attempt to excel. But, above all, it must be clean and fair competition. These activities occupy a prominent position in our school curriculum. They have a great educational and moral value which does not come from all work and no play. If high school athletics are to serve the highest purpose in the school, the observance of a rigid code of eligibility rules is absolutely essential and should take in every branch of sports on the school curriculum. OUR CHARMING BOYS MARIE TIMKO My subject is charming. I can see on the face of all unanimous agreement. I hope this unanimity will continue to the end. Gladly have we Munhall High School girls helped some of our classmates in their school work. But what was our reward for imparting our scanty knowledge? Only a mechanical “Thank You!” Sometimes even a grumble because they were too careless even to copy our papers correctly. Is that all we deserved for saving you from a disgraceful red mark and for keeping you on the football or basketball teams? Are we only to be remembered when we are needed? Why do you boys forget that we enjoy dancing and other pastimes as well as you do? Oh, if you would only remember that hearts like doors will open with ease when you know how—and have the keys. Say, boys, with girls it’s jus the same. The keys to their hearts—a few I’ll name: Parties and dances, and spend with ease. Your money on sodas and lemon squeeze. Boys, do you realize that if it were not for our teachers and chaperons we would never be able to hold any social affairs at school? Then why ignore these people when you are in their presence? Must they sit there and stare like statues? It is needless to say that it is your duty to make the evening for them as delightful as possible so that they would be only too glad to come again. And since it is your duty, why not do it pleasantly? Tonight is your opportunity. I have been given the privilege not only to roast you. but also to toast you. Fifty-one 1 ■ THE MUNHISKO Here’s to the men. God bless them! Worst of their sins—I’veconfessed them. I’m loving them all, he they great or small. So here’s to theboys, God bless them. And just a little advice, boys. Remember that Wherever you roam, wherever you roam, You nothing will meet half so lovely or sweet As the girls at home, as the girls at home. TIIE MODERN GIRL AND HER FASHIONS SAUL COHEN I am a supporter of the modern girl and her fashion, but I acknowledge that I am puzzled as to the best method of approaching the subject or the fascinating reality. I find myself in a position similar to that of the frecklefaced youngster who had his first essay to write. He walked into a public library and approached the reference librarian rather timidly, standing on one foot and then on the other. Finally he summoned courage and said, “Say, boss. I’ve got to write an essay on women. Where’ll I begin?” Once started, I know how I could speak to you for hours. Perhaps it would be better if I did not start at all—just merely rambled. Compare the appearance of the modern twentieth century Venus with that of her hoop skirted great-grandmother. Imagine her competing in athletics with a Victorian maiden. Not only in athletics but in her daily walk of life the modern girl is neater and can accomplish more in short skirts. Of course this mode is at times carried to an extreme. This reminds me of a little incident I witnessed on Eighth Avenue where a policeman was addressing a lost youngster. “Lost your mammy, have you? Why didn’t you keep hold of her skirt?” questioned the officer in his gruff voice. The frightened youngster replied: “I c-c-couldn’t reach it.” THE ANNUAL FRESHMAN PARTY DOROTHY AVERBACH Every rose has its thorn, There’s a fuzz on all the peaches. There never was a dinner yet. Without some lengthy speeches. I assure you that I was not any more pleased to learn that I must make an after-dinner speech than are you who must hear me. My subject is “The Annual Freshman Party.” Every year the seniors, juniors, and sophomores give a party to welcome the freshmen. This may sound easy, but they find it really difficult to make the acquaintance of these shy newcomers, so formal are they in their very newest frocks. But to understand these freshman initiation parties, let us attend one of them. First, at seven o’clock on a Friday evening, the members of the various committees arrive. Every one is in a hurry, all is hustle and bustle to make this party a success. When the doors open at seven-thirty the freshmen girls are waiting outside, all in a flutter. They are dressed in their best, breathless and excited because they have hurried to be on time. A block away are the freshman boys. They are wearing their Sunday suits, hats, and smiles. After the girls enter the building the boys will venture to approach the door. They argue as to who will proceed first. After debating this serious question for a few minutes they settle it by all entering at once. After all the classes are assembled, various groups of freshmen stand around in corners, viewing everything with watchful and eager eyes. They are bashful and afraid to do anything lest they make a blunder. The members of the entertainment committee try to interest them in games or a Paul Jones; but their efforts meet with luke-warm returns until the signal for the lunch march is sounded. Then the first time in the evening the freshmen become enthusiastic. Fifty-two — = THE MUNHISKO = — A Typical Moving Picture Show On Friday night, November 17th, 1922, many people gathered in the auditorium to see “Nanook of the North,” a picture portraying the every day life of an Eskimo. The entertainment was scheduled to start at eight o’clock. At five minutes before eight the doors were closed with a capacity filling crowd within. Everyone was eagerly awaiting the picture. Five minutes after eight and no images had flitted across the silver screen! Oh well, perhaps the operator was having trouble to start tin machine. The spectators were good natured, the admission price was small, and impatience would be of no avail. A quarter after eight. No picture and much restlessness accompanied by sufficient neck turning to reduce all the double chins in the auditorium. At eight-twenty the superintendent of schools answered the inquiries and set the minds at rest as to when the picture would begin—just as soon as the operator could find the first part. Eighty-thirty brought a darkened house and a sigh of contentment for the long-awaited picture appeared. Then, just as every unselfish child in the auditorium was concocting a plan to send his family's supply of castor oil to the little Eskimo boys, who, in the picture, were not only drinking it, but begging for more, the figures abruptly disappeared from the screen. The film had burnt out. The spectators sympathetically waited while the superintendent rubbed alcohol upon the operator’s elbow which he had bruised while making repairs. Another happy sigh of anticipation as the adventures of Nanook were revealed to the eye. But why the irregular speed—now rapid, then slow? When the superintendent went up to the projection room to investigate, a remarkable sight met his eyes. The operator was turning the crank with his left arm and almost breaking his neck trying to lick the alcohol off his right elbow. With haste the superintendent stopped the machine and prevented a possible tragedy by wiping the alcohol from the operator’s elbow with a wet cloth. Then the picture resumed. Five minutes later it stopped again. With many such interruptions part of the life of Nanook passed before the eyes of the spectators. During a lengthy pause the superintendent brought the glad news to all that the film and machine were at last so well repaired that no more interruptions would occur. But in a few minutes, a new difficulty arose. ,Just where was the end of the picture? The operator could not find it. The movie fans were forced to return to their homes without seeing it. Should anyone chance to locate it, kindly return it to the high school auditorium. —FRANCIS O' MABLE Y Fifty three YE REMINISCENCES (With apology to K. C. B.)

P. ’23 Fifty-four THE MUNHISKO —— Munhall music, both vocal and instrumental, has had a successful year under the leadership of Miss Van Scoyoc. It is due to her efforts that Munhall High School has now a fine orchestra composed of fifteen pieces. This organization frequently performs at such school activities as assembly, moving picture shows, plays, patriotic affairs, and commencement. On several occasions it has traveled from home and pleased its hearers. Also a double quartet has been organized, which has rendered delightful entertainment for numerous school functions, both private and public. The high school chorus consists of the best voices in the high school.

Some one suggested an operetta. Unanimous for the affirmative. And thus it happened! “College Days” was the vehicle chosen as worthy of displaying our talent. The principals were chosen not without difficulty because of the many songsters aspiring for stardom. Then a difficulty arose in regard to rehearsals. The boys were not excessively eager to remain after school. “Oh. what’s the use of practicing,” one of the boys mumbled. “It isn’t fair. They’re demanding too much of cur time. Aren’t eight hours long enough for any fellow to be in school?” The gentlemen seemed to think that only a glance at their book was necessary—plus a dress rehearsal. Conceit? Oh no, just supreme self-confidence! At last the long looked for night arrived! All was hustle and bustle behind the scenes. Everyone was getting not only his nose powdered, but his entire map as well. The auditorium was filled to capacity. Anxious eyes peered to and fro hoping to find at least standing room in some unoccupied corner. At last the curtain arose. And in a few minutes the play was in full swing. At the close of the first act a roar of applause assured us that the audience was well pleased or at least entertained; and we felt encouraged to continue. Although Lee Metz, the dignified professor, had found much difficulty to keep his voice out of that terrible monster, the Cold, during the rehearsals, on the night of the performance he burst forth into melodious eloquence. If Marcel Journet could have heard him, he would have been green with envy. Louise Robert, his daughter Dot. acted her part with a demure tenderness characteristic of her. When she sang “Just You and I Together” every heart in the audience stopped beating while the memory wandered back to the days when love and romance were its only thought. William Szepessi as Tubby Ccles, was so bashful and shy that we still wonder how he did it. And when he held Helen’s hand in his and said, “Dream on little girl,” every man in the audience attempted to follow the example. Lucile Hough portrayed the character of the piquant, lovable Helen with the ease that is characteristic of only one who possesses such a nature. She was the ideal sweetheart who did not lack the courage to stand up for a friend whom the odds were against. Catherine Lergenmiller as the unsophisticated botany teacher brought a laugh from everyone in the audience. Her demonstration of her love for the professor was always followed by visible palpitations of the heart. She knew much about love and the language of the flowers, and when she murmured, “Oh, professor, the heart was made to love. Wasn’t it?” she had Rudolph Valentino beat to thin air. The Dude, played by John Punzak, and the poolroom proprietor by Harold Grossman are worthy of note. For while we do not love villains, we may admire their art. And now for our hero Bill Carson, played by Homer Gifford. He por- Fifty-eight % THE MUNHISKO ■■■ = ■ trayed the emotions which come once to every man—complete success followed by utter ruin with only Hope left for a beacon to guide him on. To have won the game of the season, to have secured a yes” from the only girl in the world, to have gained the love and admiration of every classmate—that was success. But to be disgraced through no fault of his own, to be expelled because he protected an enemy, to be repulsed by the girl whom he thought had the utmost confidence in him—that was ruin. But truth crushed to earth will rise again, and so Carson returned after a two years’ absence to regain all that he had lost. But the best of all was the Chorus—if the Chorus may be judge. It was composed of veritable Apollos and Hebes. The blended voices were reminiscent of the sweet twittering of sparrows in winter time; the cheers resounded like peals of thunder! Indeed, it were the vital part of the operetta. MARIE TIMKO 23 College Days THE CAST Tubby” Coles..................... Davy Carson....................... Dot ..............................

The cost of this course approximates eight hundred dollars. The Munhall public now has an opportunity to secure some excellent entertainment at reasonable prices in one of the most beautiful little auditoriums in the state. In October White's Light Opera Revue will appear. This group of five New England young ladies stages a program of song hits from eight of the current light operas. In addition they will give readings and standard, solos for the voice, violin, and piano. “There is no company like it in the field, and we doubt if you can find anywhere in the United States an entertainment which will give better satisfaction than White’s Revue, 1923.” The November attraction is Uarveth Wells, F. R. G. S. He will offer a lecture on “My Six Years in the Jungles of Malay. This is a thrilling, fascinating. and humorous narrative of Mr. Well’s personal experiences while surveying a railroad through the Jungles of Malay. The lecture will include colored slides, wonderful Malay costumes and Malay music. It is by this lecture that the name of Uarveth Wells has become well known throughout the United States and Uanada. He has delivered it before the most prominent societies and clubs in America. Early in December Miss Hardy will bring her company of plantation players to present “Ole Plantation Days.” Miss Hardy is from North Carolina, a descendant of a long line of prominent Virginia and North Carolina ancestors. The colored people with her are from her old home town, many of them from her own plantation. This is tin only troup north of tin Mason-Dixon line presenting old plantation music just as it is really played on tin old plantations way down South. For January Oskenonton and company will give a unique concert. Osken-onton will appear in his grandfather’s ceremonial costume of the Mohawk tribe. Oskenonton will be assisted by two excellent artists. Miss Margaret Wilder, violinist, and Miss Ella Flanders, piano soloist and accompanist. The program consists of Indian songs described by Oskenonton and presented in Indian costume accompanied by the tom-tom—and standard concert numbers in evening dress. The crowning number of the year will be offered in February, “(’otter's Saturday Night is a musical and dramatic production enacted by six leading Scotch singers. The evening program follows very closely the famous poem by Robert Burns. During the play these songs are sung: “John Anderson. My Jo,” “Laddie,” “Hurrah for the Highland,” “Bonnie Mary,” “O’ a the Airts,” “Wert Thou in the Cauld Blast,” “A Man’s a Man for a’ That,” “The Auld Hoose.” “The Lord’s My Shepherd.” “Auld Lavng Syne.” The Cotter’s Saturday Night” should be heard by every club and society in this country, says the New York Scottish-American. From every viewpoint “Cotter’s Saturday Night” has been pronounced a triumph of song, a masterpiece of acting. Such is the course of evening entertainments for which I, as your district superintendent, am largely personally responsible. I have great faith in the people of Munhall School District. This attempt of mine to serve you in a wider capacity I trust will receive a cordial response. C. R. STONE. Sixty — =— THE MUNHISKO An Introduction The success of the dramatic entertainments as attested by the favorable comments of students and townspeople calls forth a commendation. For a number of years the dramatic endeavours of Munhall have demonstrated to capacity audiences that a high school can present first class professional plays with a pleasing degree of skill, and that the drama is one of the most beneficial and interesting forms of entertainment. A great deal of our success is due to the excellent directing of casts by Miss Olive Schillinger, who gives much of her valuable time to see that every detail of each play is perfect. At present dramatic entertainments at Munhall are divided into two classes: One act plays given before students during chapel periods by Workshop No. 8,” and the senior class play. WORKSHOP No. 8 Membership in Workshop No. 8 is limited to the juniors reporting in room 8. It was organized last year by the (’lass of 1923 under the guidance of Miss Olive Schillinger. Its purpose is as follows: “We shall endeavor to make it possible for the pupils of this room to interpret plays that are within their range of ability and that are written by representative authors. By this means we hope to acquire a more intelligent appreciation of drama and to become familiar with the best writers.” Munhall has earned an enviable reputation in dramatics and the six one-act plays which were studied this year did credit to the class and to the school. The following is a list of the plays which were read with the casts: Sixty-one THE MUNHISKO NEVERTHELESS By Stuart Walker Thp liny Prank Loadinan Tlu girl Lucile Hough The hurclar TTarolJ Onuds MARRIAGE BY ARRANGEMENT By Alfred Sutro Aline Hilda Gustafson Mr. C’roekstead Melvin Rutter THE TRYSTING PLACE By Booth Tarkington The widow Marie Holosuyav The mother Hilda Colev Tlte danvhter....

Irene Carriek Sixty two THE MUNHISKO Dulcy With commendable pride each class pronounces its play the best. The class of 192.1 has chosen to champion “Dulc.v” with the desire for our patron’s pleasure ever in mind. In this little comedy the authors, Messrs. George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly, have brilliantly expressed a “gay thought about some kinds of human foolishness. It satirically outlines sketches of actual beings happily recognizable as human. Surely everyone numbers among his acquaintances a Duleinea, childlike in irresponsibility, yet withal lovable. Her tedious platitudes as “When in anger, you should always count ten amuse; her crediting herself with the happy ending of that which her meddling almost ruined annoys; but her habitual cheerfulness attracts. Perhaps in his being brought to the verge of ruin by an incompetent wife, Gordon Smith is representative of more men than in his being snatched to affluence by the same means. Modern business ideals are incorporated in C. Roger Forbes and in Tom Sterrett; those of prison reform in Henry. Indeed each of the eleven characters is a real human being of distinctive type.

Therefore we must go back to the debating contests of 1920-1921. In that year Munhall High School entered the county debate for the first time. The county officials selected a proposition which was very apropos at that time: Resolved, That the United States government should have permanent control of the food and fuel prices. To represent Munhall the faculty chose Helen Reed and Alvin Hough. In the senior-junior debate preceding the county debates the juniors were victors over the seniors. Mr. McCready efficiently coached the team; and he is, to a great extent, responsible for its success. In the first debate with Sewickly the Munhall team, upholding the negative side of the question, won a unanimous decision. When the debaters went to Crafton, however, the debate was so close that it was doubtful as to who had won. When the votes of the judges were read, it was found that two had decided in favor of Crafton and one in favor of Munhall. Thus Munhall was eliminated from further participation in the county debates for that year. The following was debated in the county debate last year: Resolved, That the Chinese Empire should have complete and immediate automony. From the tryouts Francis O'Malley and Harold Grossman with Oliver Gilleland as alternate were selected. In the inter-class debate the juniors won from the seniors. Mr. McCready again coached the team which represented Munhall in the county debate. Munhall’s first interscholastic debate at Edgewood was easily won, but at Turtle Creek the debaters met their Waterloo. Both decisions were unanimous. This year the Munhall debating contests were intrascholastic only. In former years there had been interclass debates 1o decide the championship of the high school, but these were in addition to the county debate, and in them the debaters gained much experience for their verbal clashes with other schools. To represent the seniors, Francis O’Malley and Isadora Numeroskv were chosen as regulars with Elizabeth Ilager and Oliver Gilleland as alternates. The junior class was championed by Marie Ilolosnyay and Melvin Rutter. with Robert Albrecht and Mabel Jackson as alternates. Mr. Walbert coached the seniors and Miss Franklin the juniors. The question was: Resolved, That the Monroe Doctrine should be abandoned. An old folk-lore says: So long goeth the pitcher to the well until the ear breaks. The juniors won in the preceding two years, but at the debate this year the ear broke. This makes the class of 1923 the champion debating class of the high school for it defeated the seniors last year and the juniors this year. In addition to the honor of representing their school and class, the debaters in the county debates and the winners in the interclass debates are rewarded with a more tangible recognition in the form of beautiful gold medals. Fp to the present time, that honor has been conferred upon the following: 1921— Helen Reed and Alvin Hough. 1922— Francis O’Malley and Harold Grossman. 1923— Francis O'Malley and Isadora Xumeroskv. —HAROLD GROSSMAN ’23 Sixty four Junior Debating Team MARIE HOLOSNYAY MELVIN RUTTER Sixty five THE MUNHISKO . — Scholastic Records This is an age of making and breaking records. Every day one reads accounts of new records made in various fields of endeavor, some meritorious and others unworthy. In the mills men strive to increase the tonnage output in a specified period, on the athletic field contestants are eager to break former records and to establish new ones. Recently the newspapers have given much prominence to individuals who have made records in the number of consecutive hours of dancing they can endure; in England not so long ago some mothers set out to push their babies in perambulators over a given course, thus establishing a record for that feat. It is not so often perhaps that we see much prominence given to scholastic records, unless it be some unusual case like that of the fifteen year old boy, a senior at Columbia University, who was recently elected a member of the Phi Beta Kappa fraternity. Yet why should not each student of our school, at the beginning of his course set out to establish a record scholastically, which in the future he will be glad to contemplate in retrospection. We are too prone to point out the one who has won his athletic letters and to ignore the one whose grades were always of the highest quality. There is this to be said of a record of any kind, good or bad. Once it is made it is there to stay. Opportunity is not afforded in many instances to change it in any way. The records students leave behind them in high school or college are used either to their credit or discredit years after these records have been made. There are students who, bcause of an indifferent attitude, leave a record of which they can never be proud and which they may have cause to regret at some future time. If more students would intend, at the outstart, to make high scholastic records. and to break those previously established, the standards of the school would rise proportionately and be an incentive for better work to succeeding classes. To bring this to the point in our own high school, we give some of the records established in our school since 1918. Honor grade average for four years work—Eleanor Parker; class 1918; score 94.8 per cent. Otis Test (intelligence)—Mildred Guiney; class 1921; score 201 points. Plymouth Educational Test of Literary Works and Authors—Dorothy Averbach; class 1928; score 48 out of a possible 47 points. These records are set down in t he hope that they will tend to challenge the best efforts of pupils in the present classes. They should act as a stimulant to every freshman entering high school to exert himself to his putmost. Students, how do your records compare with those above? Are you proud of your records? Can you break your own record from year to year? Can you break the records already established? Can you set a record for our school in any other line of scholastic endeavor? —F. F. Sixty-six THE MUNHISKO Sixty-seven Sixty eight THE MUNHISKO ■ Football, 1922 Munhall High School completed a fairly successful season on the gridiron last fall. Through hard work anti thorough coaching we produced a team second to none in fighting spirit. Coach Stuempfle had his prospects out early and put them through stiff workouts. The time and patience necessary to develop this team were rendered much more difficult from the fact that many veterans of last year’s squad were lost by graduation. The home games were played at West Field, and the large crowds were regularly in attendance. The season was opened at Swissvale. The squad showed its fighting spirit. When the game was over, the Maroon and White was leading 10 to 0. Sabo was the real hero of this game, for he picked up a fumble and ran twenty-five yards for a touchdown. Then came the contest with North Braddock. Munhall was the first to score when Matty kicked a field goal from the thirty yard line. But this was not sufficient to win, for North Braddock came back strong and, with hut a few minutes to play, scored a touchdown, thus defeating us 6-3. We met Avalon next. The game was close throughout, when the final whistle blew Munhall was on the short end of a 13-7 score. During the second quarter GrafT made a spectacular run of sixty yards for a touchdown after receiving a forward pass from Miller. The following week Munhall met and defeated McDonald on West Field by the score of 12-6. Thompson received a pass from Miller for the winning touchdown in the third quarter. The following game with Aspinwall was bitterly contested throughout, with Munhall losing 15-13. During this game Baclia and Thompson, who had been playing an exceptionally fine game, were injured in the last quarter and both had to be carried from the field. Miller, Munhall’s husky fullback, showed that he was capable of playing real football when he carried the ball twenty yards for a touchdown. Our next opponent was Oakmont, whom we met and defeated 14-0. Credit must be given to the line men for this victory, for they opened holes in the opposing line large enough to drive a team of horses through. It is no wonder, then, that the backfield gained ground as it did. Flushed with this victory, the Munhall aggregation met and defeated Clairon High School on West Field 10-0. Captain Moore must be given credit for the great defensive game which he played. Time and time again he broke up Clairton’s plays before they got under way. Pitcairn was the next outfit to be met. The game was fast and furious throughout; when it ended Munhall was on the wrong side of the score card, for Pitcairn had piled up 13 points in the first quarter while Munhall could score no more than 6. The game ended at 13-6. The season was closed at Homestead Park on Thanksgiving Day, when we were defeated in the annual classic by our old rivals. Homestead. During this game the squad showed the fighting spirit for which it is famed. Though Homestead outweighed us we fought hard throughout; when the final whistle blew we were on the short end of a 19-3 score.

How'ever, as the season wore on, the jinx must have been left behind for the team turned in victory after victory until at the close of the season the records showed that Munhall had ten victories and only five defeats to its credit. The prospects for a fine team next year are not very bright because of the loss of three regulars by graduation, but with two veterans and almost the entire second team from this year Mr. Stuempfle will doubtless mold together a team that will hold its own against its most formidable opponents.

Coach Stuempfle decided to have an inter-class league. He appointed the members of the varsity squad to act as coaches to the different teams. Eddie Graff was assigned to the seniors, John Bridges and Bob Guiney to the juniors. Les Thompson to the sophomores, and Cy Miller to the freshmen. A silver loving cup is awarded to the winners of this league and this put great interest and zest into the games. The cup was finally won, aft the juniors.

Munhall High School’s soccer team came through the season with a most creditable showing. The team’s greatest deficit perhaps was that of a coach. Mr. Wieand's time was so taken up with the grades that he could give tlu team but an occasional suggestion. The team had no grounds on which to practice regularly. The Nineteenth Street grounds were occupied by tin football teams. Maple Avenue grounds by grade contests, and West Field by Homestead teams. Accordingly the team had to get in a few minutes of practice here and there whenever a vacant place was found. The team had no soccer uniforms. In the contests played, sweaters were borrowed from the football team, and basketball trunks were used. Nothing less than real esprit de corps could have held together a team under such circumstances, but hold together they did. Five games were played, Munhall winning two and losing three. The three games lost were all to Homestead. When one considers that Homestead was the champion in this district and that the scores were remarkably small, MunhalUs record is tin more impressive. Those of the team who received the soccer M are: Marshall. Loadman. II. Douds, James, Lances, J. King, J. Burke, Brockie. Ulrich, Magnuson, T. Ednie, Riley.

It meant hard and serious work for the home team, for Knoxville was the only team in the league that had previously been included in Munhall ’s schedule. Half of the 11)22 team graduated last June. This left four positions to be filled: the centers and the guards. But the splen- did coaching of our instructor.

As the latter won two games out of three from Munhall. it received the cup as champions of Section Seven. This season only three teams entered the league: Munhall, McKees Rocks, and Sharpsburg. Munhall was adjudged the winner and carried home the cup. Much credit is due to the efforts of Miss Bochelman, the coach. THE REGULAR LINEUP Katherine Kramer Loretta Mooney Madeline Lacey Katherine Lergenmiller Alberta Stafford Beulah Sigley Substitutes: Bertha Cook, and Mildred Boot Seventy-six “EDDIE” GRAFF' With the graduation of the class of 1923 there passes one of the biggest “little athletes that Mun-hall has ever had. He is “Eddie” Graff, diminutive quarter-back and star forward. “Eddie” started in athletics immediately upon his entry into high school. Although he lacked weight, he had the pep and stuff that gave him a berth on the football squad. He also played basketball the first year, and here also his stellar work secured him a place on the team. Besides his activity in these two major sports a: Munhall, “Eddie belonged to the baseball and the track teams. He has both a football and basketball “M” for each of his four years in high school. He was elected football captain in 1921 and basketball captain in 1923. He has won not only the admiration of his school fellows, but the commendation of his opponents for his sportsmanship and ability. He was a clean Player and accepted the glory of victory only when it had been earned. In basketball circles his work was recognized to the extent that he was placed on several All Section VII Championship Teams of the W. P. I. A. L. by Pittsburgh newspapers. Athletics is natural to “Eddie.” He played most of the seasons through without suffering any severe injuries, although he was always in the thick of the battles. He has encountered no difficulty in maintaining a good record in his scholastic duties, and very seldom, if ever, was he kept out of a contest on account of poor scholastic work. We are sure the entire school appreciates “Eddie’s work in athletics, and the class of 1923 heartily thanks him for the honor he has brought to it as a result of his athletic endeavors. vau - TRACK With the advent of the bright sunny days of spring comes also the call of the track. Track, the first of the outdoor sports after the long confinement within doors of the basketball season, is usually answered by many anxious and ambitious athletes. On the first day of outdoor practice about twenty-five boys reported to Coach Stuempfie. Among these were a few of last season’s champion team, including Rutter, last year’s captain: Mathieson, captain-elect for this year; Miller, the husky fullback of the past football season; Moore. Douds, and Albrecht. The others have still the task of making a name for themselves in track at Munhall. In order to decide who shall fill the places on the varsity team and represent Munhall in the different meets of the year an inter-class meet will be staged. The boys who make the best showing in this meet will be selected for varsity try-outs. The Munhall track team will participate in about five meets during the coming season. and hope is running high that a commendable showing will be made. The season will be officially opened May 5 at the Carnegie Tech Meet. After this gruelling contest the wearers of the Maroon and White will take a hand in the Allegheny County Meet. This affair was won last year by Munhall, and the hardest efforts will be put forth in order to keep the cup in our trophy case. On May 19 a Triangular Meet will be held at North Braddock between North Braddock, Homestead, and Munhall. During the next week the dual meet between Homestead and Munhall will be staged. This is an annual affair and brings forth much good-natured rivalry. This meet was also won by Munhall last year and the performance is expected to be repeated. The track season will probably be closed on May 26 when Munhall enters the W. P. I. A. L. Meet. Seventy-seven THE MUNHISKO = 'The Athletic Banquet Various are the occasions upon which Munhall proclaims the glorious deeds of her athletes; but the crowning event of the year is the athletic banquet. Here the athletes are feasted upon choice viands and panegyrics. Here they receive the envied M, emblem of merit. The memory of bruises is obliterated by the pride of possession and the paeons of praise. May her athletes make famous the fair name of Munhall!
