'1' HE MUNHISKO 5 THE HIGH SCHOOL BANQUET The annual High School Banquet, held this year, was a success from every angle. No one went away wishing he had his money back, and everyone felt that his money, as well as his evening had been well spent. This banquet is held every year to award the letters to athletic men and medals to debaters. It has always been the aim of Mr. McCready to make this a success. This year s banquet, held in the United Presbyterian Church on Thursday evening, was better by far than any we had ever had before. The banquet was started promptly at 6:30 p. m. During the periods between courses, many songs were sung. By the time the dinner was over, everyone was in a merry mood. A few more songs were sung while the dishes were taken away and then everyone was ready for the speeches. Before Mr. McCready introduced the toastmaster, he told everyone to turn his chair so that he would be comfortable. He then introduced Mr. Scarry as toastmaster. Mr. Scarry responded to the introduction. He said that this was the first time he had any direct connection with Munhall High School pupils, but he hoped it would not be the last. Then the toastmaster introduced Mr. Wherry, who took the place of Mr. Stone, who had been called away. He said his “kick-off was a typical one. He wanted it to start off the program. He gave an instance of a kickoff he had once witnessed. He told us how the referee asked one captain if he was ready, and he answered Let er Go!” But when he turned to the West Point captain with the question, “Are you ready”? the answer was, We are ready, Sir”,—courteous and direct. Following Mr. Wherry’s talk was a talk by Mr. Jawelak. He spoke of the “Siprit of Athletics”. His speech was Act One of the subject. He spoke about training, stressing this point more thoroughly than the other points of his talk. The toastmaster then introduced Miss Albright. Her talk was “A Word of Praise”. She told of the honor roll now used in our school. She wanted to praise those who were able to attain an average of ninety and no mark below eighty, but particularly did she wish to express our appreciation of the work done by Marie Frankofsky in the recent contest at Tech. Athletics were important, but she was concerned about those who were bringing honor to their school in a better and greater way. The girl’s quartette then sang a couple of songs which were rendered very well, as was shown by the applause of the audience. Following the quarette’s selections, Miss Miller gave Act Two of the topic, “The Spirit of Athletics”. She spoke of the requirements of a captain. She said if she were playing for a team and the captain, before the game, came up and told her they didn’t have a chance to win, no matter how much better the other team was, she would feel like going back and changing clothes. She said the captain should always encouarge the teammates. Next was a piano solo, rendered by Miss Beltz, who showed she could handle the piano as well as direct music. The pupils only hope they will hear more from her. The last speech on the program was given by Mr. Pruger, our debating coach. This was the first time some of the pupils had seen Mr. Pruger. He suggested a new way of conducting debates in this country. He said the eight teams should be divided into two leagues of four teams each. This would give each team an even chance. He also praised the debaters and awarded their medals to them. Albert Frantz followed Mr. Pruger and awarded the football letters. He said the reason so many had not won letters was because every one was given a chance to play on the team. Edward Busch awarded the basket-ball letters to the men and girls. He had some witty saying for each award. He proved that in the future he is going to follow Patrick Henry, Cicero and others. Mr. Scarry used a novel way of introducing the speakers. For everyone he introduced, he spoke a fitting quotation. They were so apt that they won the admiration of the audience. He proved he was a fine toastmaster. Some of those attending, later went to the Alumni Association dance, while others went elsewhere. The banquet ended at about nine o'clock . Harold Richards, ’25. OUR ALUMNI ASSOCIATION In the year 1924 there graduated from Munhall High one of the best classes in the history of the school. Previous to that year, when students graduated from school they seem to forget about their Alma Mater, and about the wonderful and exciting times they had while there. This class was different. It didn’t forget. It was so interested in staying connected with it that it formed an Alumni Association, which has patronized everything the school has put on. The association not only patronizes, but it also has its own activities to be patronized. When the Senior Class of 1925 graduates I hope it will join the association and help it to carry on its work. Thomas Reed.

4 THE MUNHISKO JUNIOR - SENIOR FAREWELL It is supposed that the Junior-Senior Farewell this year will take the form of a banquet. The Juniors have been discussing ways and means for some time now and are looking forward to this event with much interest. We trust it will be an occasion never to be forgotten by either the graduating class of '25 or the Junior of the same year. MUNHALL HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY The Man Higher Up ... C. F. W.

THEY LEAVE US THIS YEAR Mrs. Lewis Miss Price Mr. McCready Miss Baldsberger Mr. Jawelak Mrs. Elliott Mrs. Elshoff Miss Cowen Miss Albright Others have not been heard from. We wish success to those teachers leaving us and hope that they will be prosperous in their new lines of work. THE EXTRA CURRICULAR POINT SYSTEM At the beginning of this year the Extra Curricular point system was decided upon. The system is to give points for all extra work done by high school students. This special work m?„y be in athletics, debates, school entertainments, school journalism or any other worthy enterprise for which the pupil does not receive regular credit. Then in their Senior year a prize will be awarded to all graduates getting their hundred points. Since the system was just planned last year the Senior class of this year was required to have only fifty points, owing to the fact that there were two years in which to gain these. The school board has decided to give to all graduates having fifty points a block-letter gold M. All the Seniors are working very hard in order to receive these pins. Since the school board is giving this pin to us for something that should be a pleasure to all of us we should strive to gain as many points as possible. Katherine Kramer.
