IE L1, F55 f L O F OREWORD WE, as seniors stand on the threshold of that trail of life which leads to success or failure. As the wandering gypf sies leave patterans by the wayside, so as we journey on from New Brighton High School we leave behind us our patteran the Alaurum of 1929. In it we have attempted to record faithfully the achieve' ments of the class of 1929 and of New Brighton High School during this year. This patteran records the happenings of the past but of the future none of us can tell. May we all continue our journeys in the insurmountable spirit of Brighton High! DEDICATION WE, the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-nine do with gratitude ded' icate this seventh edition of the Alaumm to Mr. E. L. Dawes, who has made possible the realization of a. long cherished dream- that Gymnasium. f- AX i Q, O O O Q1 v QIJN if i D I.glIf!I'H.'qf,f f v Y ' Y I , CONTENTS , I I DEDICATIOAN ,III ' VIEWS 1 I IADMINISTRATIGN MI SENIORS fjI7 JLINIORS II I SOPHOM ORES TRESHMEN LITERARY , ORGAN IZATION3 ATHLETICS VARIETY 7 fTifg,E7fQ5Mtiww5Ff -fl!

The first is that of a serpent entwined about an anchor, called Swastika. This is interpreted as a charm, a magical figure, or a religious token, and therefore represents good luck. The middle figure is the trident of Neptune, the mythical god of the waters, particularly the sea. This son of Saturn and Opis bears his threefpronged scepter as a sign of ruling power. Thus the second figure is interpreted. The last is that of Caduceus, and is that of a snakefentwined staff-the staff of a herald, originally the property of Mercury, the messenger of the mythical gods. The staff may be defined as a stick or pole for support or defense. Our school through its administrative officers and faculty is to prepare us for life. It wishes us all the possible good luck, hence the Hrst symbol. The knowledge gained here is our scepter of power for the future, therefore the second figure. Since know' ledge is power it will be our staff of support in future years.

These Qjllt ll members have always attended board meetings regularly and have , l Q y always been -present for the purpose of taking part in the direction if ll of the schools in the most eihcient manner possible. Two members of the Board of Education deserve more than ordinary honor 4 ' p through the fact that they have grown old in years through the V T service of this community, but have always continued to keep an xi i. .V .L1':I1i, upftofdate and forward outlook in the management of the schools. lmzxu These members are Mr. Thomas Kennedy, the present treasurer 3,913 of the board, who is now in his eightyffourth year, and lMr. john V P' I' H. Knott who is serving the board in the capacity of president and ' li who is seventyfiive years of age. Although these men are old in 5 years they may be said to be quite young in their upftofdate views ii? 7 H p on the problems of the day. All the members of the Board of Edu- L21 Q cation might well be lauded separately for the interest which they if if as have taken in various activities of the school. fi.

Amuaim F ' We Senior Class Farewell E, the class of '29, have closed our record of four high school years, and it seems as tho' we have come thro' them as gypsies on a long journey. We wandered thro' the Freshman and Sophomore years, reading the patterans at each crossroad, some heeding, and others ignoring them. Along this path we have dropped the undesirables, those who would not help, or those failing to make our tribe happy. Finally, we chose the play, The Gypsy Trail, for our Junior class play, of course, not fully realizing its significance in our trail. Reaching our Senior year we continued laying, or forming patterans for following tribes of '30, '31, '32. We chose, by popular vote, Harold Fair, for our chief and he has led us thro' wars and wrecks on our journey. Keeping a record of the patterans left behind was our secretary, Mary Morgan, taking care of the essentials, fmoney, of course, Darwin Iden. We have gained success also on our journey, for we produced the most successful play ever given, A Lucky Break. This last year our team has won the championship in basketball, and in the far history of our class we remember a victory over Beaver Falls High School in football, Our contests, our whole scholastic standing has improved. We, like all true gypsies, are glad that we have helped in attaining honor during several more years of the high school's history. Now, we must look toward the future, leaving our past acts as patterans behind us, and like true gypsies, drive on to the next camping ground. mx-sp., , X.,fN X 'Xfwskxu-6, ,f i U! vwr-v-qlprvua I-Ur, I I 1 A 'Qu ,114 .u .

OUR years ago, to be exact, we were alleged high school students, casting ourselves on the mercy of the institution-for better or for worse. In the fall of 1925 the upperfclassmen gave us the usual hair cut, colored our craniums and left us so dazed at the end of that hectic day, that they had to call the Hre department to put us out. You know we were the pests of the high school, the freshmen. Our social career was marked by the freshmen reception, which came late in the year. We thought we would never be formally received judging by the slowness of the upperfclassmen to pay our way. In organizations we did very little, being banned from most clubs, but we held our literary society meetings, and the last semester organized the class. Times change and we change with them: so another year revolved us into that great body of people which has puzzled the world so long-Sophomores. The puzzle is how one great mass of people can be so dumb and live. We immediatelv showed that we knew what was expected of us by performing the sacred task of the Sophomore-bobbing the freshmen's hair. Uctober came around and we dc' cided to have a Halloween party fwhich we didj. Having safely trod over the financial problem of that party, The Crimson and Gold Stag said we could edit the next issue of The Crimson and Golcl. We turned in so much material for that issue that they haven't used all our ideas yet. In fact, the issue contained so much about ourselves we bought all the copies just to read our names. The next round in the struggle for existence found us in the most enviable position in the high school life-Juniors. We liked our party of the year before so well that we held another. The Seniors were jealous because we didn't invite them, so they barred us from the freshmen reception. Spring came, and our play, The Gypsy Trail, was given. A better cast could not have been chosen, but we admired the different colored tickets so much that we wanted to keep them. As a result we did-and debt overtook us. Of course we had to furnish the money for the juniorf Senior banquet and assessed ourselves one dollar for the affair. A very sad time was had by allwjuniors. Again the earth spun around making us dizzier than before, if that is possible. and awoke us to the sad fact that we had obained our majority-we were Seniors. Un looking around to see who would be our last classmates we found that big business had depleted our ranks. Some had turned into big game hunters and returned to that wild section of Fallston for thrills, while others had gone into the nightlife of Eastvale for their lifels work, leaving us, still dazed going to school. We elected our oflicers to lead us through the last school year and settled down to work, for now we were the officers of most of the clubs in school. We surprised ourselves by giving one of the most successful plays, financially and dramatically ever put on in New Brighton. You remember the play, A Lucky Break, of course. We had one of the largest crowds ever assembled in the local auditorium. Thus the curtain closes. On looking back over our high school career, we are sorry to go, but proud of our record. We have one athletic championship in Basketball to our credit, and we have athletes who we know are true blue. We did our bit in scholastic activities trying with all our spirit. If we lost it broke our hearts, but it found us going down fighting. Today when we hear the Class of '29 mentioned we have a just right , 4- . uri. smaaas. ,-., .... .

Did you tackle the trouble which came your way With a resolute heart and cheerful, Or did you hide your face from the light of day With a craven soul and fearful, Oh troubles a ton, or troubles an ounce Or trouble is just what you make it And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts. T But only how did you take it. Fei mrhe Gypsy Trailv A -Robert Steinfeld HE GYPSY TRAIL! Who has not felt the urge to pack a few wellfloved articles in a red bandana handkerchief, and wander over the world, to see Mandalay, Bombay, Hawaii, Cape Town, Zanzibar, and all such places around which artists have woven a spell of romance? The Gypsy Trail is the story of a girl, engaged to a man with his feet on the ground at all times. She finds the desire to be unconventional stealing over herg and then, she meets a man who is a gypsy-wandering from continent to continent and from pole to pole. She decides to join him in his merry carefree rovings, but when: he demands certain unconventional things, she Hnds that after all, she doesn't want to be a wanderer over the face of the earth even with her adventurer. But the adventurer, who really loves her, gives up his wandering and proves that he is the son of a very rich man, and has a very nice fortune of his own. This fortune and his social position win the girl's father and aunt, and even her kid brother is won by the tales of his adventures. In one of the adventurer's escapades he meets the grandmother of the gir1's fiance, who turns out to be an old flame of his father. This motherly old woman points out to him the road by which the girl can be won. At the hunting lodge of the business man is his old nurse who philosophizes upon the strange ways of men and women in love. Of course you know the cast, but I'm going to put it here for future generations: Leroy Kaufman was the bold adventurer, Evelyn Anderson, the girl with the unconventional desires and the conventional background. The conventional business man who came in second in the race for the girl's hand was Darwin Ideng the m-otherly old grandmother, Wilma Knopp, and the nurse, Fredericka Wolf. The girl's father was Ord Blackledgeg her aunt, Rebecca Weeberg and her kid brother, Frederick Ripper. The kid, I might add, played choofchoo and soldier all over the stage, but he certainly was a great help to the adventurer. The play was successful because we gave the Seniors a good banquet, and we here dare them to deny it. The Gypsy Trail answered that old unconventional desire, and proves that at the end of every trail one follows with courage, is happiness. The most blessed happiness is that obtained by sacrifice.

I Page Fiftyffour 1 dA LUCliY Bfealin N the evening of January twentyffifth through peepholes in the curtain a motley crowd of Seniors were staring at the seats in the auditorium slowly being filled by citizens of New Brighton. The hands of the clock crept slowly toward eight. ' A busy young lady in a peach colored dress helrded the group into a dressing room for a final talkingfto. Then came the auspicious words from the mouth of Miss Hamilton. It is now 8:13. Take your positions. At 8:15 the curtain went up and revealed the office of the Hotel Mullet, situated in Matasquam, Connecticut. The Senior play, A Lucky Break, had begun. The story of A Lucky Break is that of a poor boy who leaves his home town and makes a fortune. His return, twenty years later throws the town in a turmoil. John Bruce was Wade Houk in real life. Martha Mullet fRebecca Weeberj operates a small hotel and dreams of a career for her daughter, Nora, who loves home life better and is just as sweet and as old fashioned as heroines are. Mary Morgan took the part of Nora. Several guests at Hotel Mullet add much to the general excitement. Jura Charente, interpreted by Elizabeth Tucker, is a French dancing teacher who under' takes to teach the spinster sisters, Alcheba and Alphecca, fBetty Druschel and Ada Powell, to dance the Lily and the Lamb. Belda McWatt-Irene Evans-is a widow who is dissatisfied with everything in general and Matasquam in particular. Abner Ketcham fPaul Bermonj, attired in the correct manner of the leading mortgage holder and tightwad of Matasquam, storms around the stage because Benny, his nephew, fin other words, Ord Blackledgel liked better to play on the trombone than to -sell cemetery lots to a lot of dead ones who didn't know enough to get buried. Benny and Abner are staying at the hotel to liquidate the debt Mrs, Mullet owes Abner. John Bruce wants to buy Strawberry Hill on which the cemetery is laid out. Mrs. Barrett and her daughter, Claudia, are also at the hotel. Mrs. Barrett has her heart set on her daughter marrying money. fMadolyn Reutter playeld the part of Mrs. Barrettj But Claudia-Naomi Boss-has another idea. She wants to marry Tommy Lansing-Darwin Iden-a painter. Can you ever forget Naomi and her Oh, Tommy as she and Darwin made love every spare minute. We mustn't forget Elmine Ludine Smith, the maid, as Wilma Knopp portrayed her. Do you remember Cigars and cigarettes! Cigarettes and cigars!? When John Bruce arrives everyone makes a big fuss over him and starts to ask favors of him. He almost loses his faith in humanity, but Charles Martin flidward McGuire-who could also dance the Lily and Lamb quite divinelyj his business manager, comforts him. And then John finds himself falling in love with Nora, who he thinks loves Tommy Lansing. Abner Ketcham discovers that Algamated Petroleum, a corporation in which John Bruce is supposed to be interested has smashed. Bruce however, owns only Hve shares. Everybody believes he is ruined. John decides to go through with the deception to find out just how his fellow citizens will receive him. To his surprise they all offer help, where before they asked favors. He becomes assistant manager at the hotel and as a result of a change in policy, business booms. In the meantime, through the aid of the unsuspecting Benny, he tricks Abner into selling Strawberry Hill. He secures for Tommy the commission to decorate the li Page Fiftyfflve :I ' alfa?

Petroleum Algamated is revived and John Bruce is saved the painful duty of revealing his deception. Tommy elopes with Claudia, but everyone thinks he has gone with Nora-until Nora walks in. Then, when the stage is cleared, Nora proposes, and the curtain goes down on the usual clinch. A Lucky Break ended as all good plays should. Miss Hamilton deserves much credit for the success of the play and We can't say enough to thank her. Surely this play is the funniest that has been played on Brighton's boards, and never was there such a splendid cast and coach. , ESQ Senior Class Song ffune: The Old Refrain Q Four years have passed and gone in Brighton High, And now old memoriesare lingering nigh, So to our teachers dear vve'll say goodbye But yet 'tis hard to leave without a sigh, The class of '29 will e'er hold dear The happenings of the past four golden years And as we start upon our separate ways Our hearts still linger on our last school days When first as Freshmen we did gain a name As Sophomores and Juniors spread our fame And so, at last as Seniors we retain The friendships bright that will for e'er remain.

We, therefore, declare void all former wills or promises made by us, declaring this to be our last will and testament.

To Robert Rarick, we leave a box of rouge, which we expect him to use, so his blushes won't be so noticeable. To Clara Russell, a diploma, we know she has worked very hard to get one, and we would not like to disappoint her.

A. M. Corkan's knowledge to save exertion of her own power of research. Mr. Corkan was all the numerous volumes of the books of knowledge boiled down into one We asked him anything we wanted to know and never bothered to read it or study it out. Thus, we received any desired information in condensed form from our contented prof, So instead of hunting up a social register and reading it for myself, I held a session with Mr. Corkan and, as usual, wasn't disappointed. He knew everything necessary to judge whether or not they had been successful in life, and, strange to say, he was still able to talk as much, as fast, as long, and as loud as when he used to talk in our sleep at school. This is indeed remarkable considering the fatherly lectures he delivered to us while we put our feet under desks in his class room. We always felt that at some time in the near future his powers of speech would be impaired, but I've just told you otherwise. To add a personal touch, I'll tell you Mr. Corkan still takes a decided stand against companionate marriage, still wears black ties, and still feels highly insulted if he has any competition in the way of talking in a class room. I'm glad I didn't try to read all he told me, for I probably would not have believed my own eyes. He started with our hero- Firp Dyson. It seems that Firp had a rather heavy schedule. He was playing professional football by day, and was a floor walker by night. By a floor walker I mean the type who walks the floor and sings Rockfafbye Baby. 'Way back in High School days it took no occult power to prophesy matrimony for Firp Dyson and Mildred Sheets. Eyes of blue were Firp's weakness when they belonged to Mildred. Victor Yeager had been offered the candidacy for president on the Socialist ticket, but he had refused to accept. He had followed in his father's footsteps and was janitor in N. B. H. S. Here's the reason-He figured that there was nothing as interesting as getting to read all the notes discarded by boys and girls who are interested in each other. Since that is a janitor's privilege, it accounts for Victor's chosen profession. Marion Cobbs who was always so sympathetic with people who couldn't get Virgil has written a Virgil pony, and, needless to say, she had retired on the profits. Bertha Boren, Anna Gacesa, and Winifred Hurley were teaching the seek and ye shall find method of typewriting in several prominent high schools. George Shields who was christened Fair Weather Shields by Coach Heider because he never showed up when the weather was wet, had decided that he wasn't supposed to be a football player anyway, because mud and spikes are too hard on a complexion like his. But he just simply had to have publicity, so he decided the next best thing to do was to pose for Arrow Collar advertisements. The sudden shock of graduating after spending so many happy years within the four walls of this building proved too much for Clara Russell. She is the victim of a broken heart. It is to be hoped that the faculty will realize their mistake in graduating Clara because they will never find another student who will take being kicked out of class so good naturedly as Clara did. Our class certainly felt honored that Clara chose it instead of her own class with which to graduate. VV g ,in gb K ..

Men believe they have at last found a champion in Gwenith because she has proved to them why women will not speak to them from one pay day until the next. This had been Rebecca Weeber's fate: She was just a farmer's sweetheart And she loved her farmer lad But he left her hoeing turnips To play poker with her dad. Before we left high school we became conscious of the oratorical powers of James Mansell. Five years after graduation found him an able successor to William Jennings Bryan. He was even more successful than Mr. Bryan in proving that man and the ape are neither brothers nor first cousins. Robert Rarick, who operated the Tumble Bug at Conneaut had graduated to the proprietor of amusements at Conneaut Lake. He had changed the name to 'LBachelor's Heaven. Robert, I was told, had absolutely no patience with women, and naturally it seemed strange that women were not barred from Bachelor's Heaven. Some of the star boarders were Steve Burke and Edwin Shaffer. Margaret Verbanc and Elizabeth Hamer were doing their best to keep their school girl complexion-on some one's coat lapel. Bertha Boettner was matron in an orphan asylum for little boys only. Pauline Sidler was running a fashion shop for women. We fear for Pauline's chosen profession, and wish to extend our sympathy to her, if women decide they need to wear any less. Lillian Kelly and Ida Frishkorn were still sending for samples of toilet preparations to make themselves beautiful. In their spare time they were running a beauty parlor and lifing faces to get the postage to bring the samples. Ralph Nippert had invented an alarm clock minus the alarm. He seemed to think alarm clocks are the source of ruining the religious morale of this country so he is classed as a religious reformer. Melvin Yard owned a junk yard which was very popular among those who wanted to junk cars that were wrecks, because they had been driven with one hand. Fredericka Wolf who had a powerful voice as well as a powerful name, had gone to the Canary Islands where she was doing her best to teach the canaries how to sing. Amelia Carothers had been married by a Quaker minister. She had chosen to be married by a Quaker because there is no word obey in the Quaker marriage ceremony, and Amelia thought it best to be on the safe side. The Quaker minister was Calvin Rosenmund, who was still waiting for the 'LSpirit to move him. Robert Hildebrand was promoting industry in New Brighton by managing a very successful glue factory. He was doing all he could to stop the frivolity of youth by manufacturing something to make them stick together. Velma Householder who had seen quite a bit of Red while in High School was rocking little Red's to sleep. The reason I have to call them little Reds is that even Mr. Corkan didn't know his last name.

'.,:.if--Y-QJQE'-I 1 f Page Sixtyfonel Madolyn Reutter was editor of the Advice to the Lovelorn column in thc Fallston Daily and was rendering Hrst aid to those wounded by Cupid's darts. Margaret McQueen and Beulah Thompson personify our idea of unselfish women. They were devoting their lives to the proof of the saying that Gentlemen prefer blonds, but they marry brunettes, so Beulah and Margaret never married. Robert Steinfield was doing his best to overcome his childish impulses. Shortly before we were graduated from High School, he graduated into long trousers. He is now manufacturing long trousers for little men. Olive Mae Korn, who was one of our dancing daughters, had found Blue Jay Corn Plasters very effective for relieving corns acquired by teaching the allfknowing males how to dance. She had retired on a fortune she had received from signing testi' monials for the Blue jay Corn Plaster Company. Edwin Miller, who, during his high school career, had been very fond of the fair sex and even gone so far as to choose a girl friend with the name of Fair, evidently still thought Evelyn was fair, for he hadn't done a thing about changing her name from Fair to Miller, but he was still rushing her, with lots of competition. ' Evelyn Anderson was a famous movie actress. She always was the type who just couldn't make her eyes behave. Ralph Trout was playing opposite her as leading man. Ralph had earned John Barrymore's title The Perfect Lover. Fay Morrison was married, but evidently not very happily, because she said her husband was so much like a horse that every time she asked him for money he said, Nay, Nay. Pauline Lutz and Alan Wells were rocking the boat on the deep and dark sea of matrimony. Pauline was always our idea of just the kind of person one would like to have around the house. Evidently she was Alan's idea of that too. Raymond Morrow had gone into peaceful hermitage, because he could not stand the amorous glances of the fair sex without blushing a brilliant red. Since he could offer no explanation as to why he blushed, he was determined to suffer alone. Elizabeth Tucker had written a book on How To Remain Singlef' but people couldn't understand why she didn't put her own doctrine into practice. Evelyn Shelar had just completed a very original book entitled Sinful to Flirt. It seems that she couldn't fool the public, though, since they knew she didn't practice what she was preaching. The public seemed to think she was just trying to get them to stop the base practice of flirting so she would have a larger field in which to work. Paul Liebold had been offered the presidency of the United States, but he had declined the honor, giving as his excuse the fact that there was no chance for promotion and he preferred to start as a bell hop. Doris Holliger, who was our class poetess, was composing verse in the form of imitation Mother Goose Rhymes, which she used in singing her offspring to sleep. Bill Gordon had joined the Navy. The only way we can account for this is so that he might have a sweetheart in every port. Rose Shuster and Bessie Neeley were sorry for boys who lived in Eastvale, because there wasn't any florist shop in the city, to help the boys to say it with flowers, so they were running a florist shop. Now boys, you know where to get your peace offerings. f Page Sixtyftwo 1 Frank Florik was gradually perishing in a worthy cause. He was endeavoring to teach Geometry in New Brighton High School. Leo Murphy and Clarence Garen were the proud possessors of a pawn shop. It was especially popular with those who had bought a diamond for the wrong girl friend. Ada Powell was still awaiting the golden opportunity to become a dutiful wife. Edward McGuire was driving a bus from Oak Hill to N. B. H. S. Eddie felt that having to run up and down the hill every day was what made him short of breath, and he was too sympathetic to see the youth of New Brighton injuring their health, because they got up too late to walk to school. V Irene Evans, had picked up her hat, locked up her flat, and was out under the Honolulu Moon keeping Earnest Yeager company. Ralph Merriman, whose greatest ambition was to control his necktie, was doing his best to control the ties that blind. Every class has its heartfbreaker, and the class of '29 is no exception. Donald Watts was on the third corner of most of the eternal triangles that were brought up in Beaver Court. He was our heartfbreaker, lady-killer, and homefwrecker, all rolled into one. In case you don't remember it I'll tell you that we used to sing a song that started out-i'Fair is the name we love. Well, we are just a little timid about saying we still love that name, because Frances Harris has a monopoly on it and has requested that we refrain from singing it. And that's been Harold Fair's career. Louis Ziegle, whose greatest ambition had been to grow up and be six feet tall, was still living in hopes and suffering in silence. Chester Lockhart was a hard, grasping business man who was still selling sweet cider to the students of N. B. H. S. to moisten their Halloween parties. Mr. Corkan informed me that Ditty Herrington was quite a tough football player. In one of the games that Mr. Corkan witnessed Ditty saw what he supposed to be grapes scattered all over the field. He wanted to know just why the grapes were there, but it seems that they weren't grapes at all, they were eyefballs. Inez Barkley, who always had a great desire to see louder and funnier teachers gracing the class rooms of N. B. H. S., was doing her best to ill that bill. She was instructing young America in the three R's, which in high school are Rah, Rah, Rah! Wade Houk, who was a born womanfhater, was a lawyer and was famous in divorce courts. We wonder how long he can remain a womanfhater in this environment of weeping women who insist upon telling him their sob stories, and weeping on his shoulder. Fred Lummas was devoting his life to spats, monocles, and high hats and the dropping of 'is haitches fh'sj. Finally, I thought it was about time to hear from the matrimonial venture of Mary Morgan and Frank Scott, so I said, I suppose Mary just worships Frank. Mr. Corkan said, Yes, I hear she places burnt offerings before him three times a day. Ord Blackledge had refused to consider the liberal offers of Henry Ford concerning the trading of his 1909 Lizzie for one of the Fords that Henry has made a lady. This proves that Ord's weakness is not women. He was still earning tires for his antique by pushing it in Halloween parades. If Page Sixtyfthree J . 1' av -7,5 ,g-.

Mr. Corkan felt quite bad, because he was in the dark as to whom they had married, but he knew that Merle Bush, who we used to call Deacon, and had became Rev. Bush, had performed the ceremony. Leroy Kaufman, whose besetting sin was women, had gone to Utah where he hoped to become a Mormon and thus get as many of his heart's desires as possible. He had taken his Chevrolet along and also Louis Myers, who was his excess baggage, except when the car needed cranking. Louis will probably be another convert to Mormonism. james Shingleton, who was built for endurance rather than speed, seemed to be speedy only when it came to rushing Elanor Wilson. He and Eleanor were trying out the companionate marriage theory but were having an unsettled time, because they wouldn't let each other have enough companions. This won't be any surprise to you, but you may as well be reminded of it any way: L'Poe Circle and Myrtle Hayden were married, and Myrtle was bringing up father- in other words Poe --in the way he should go, so that he might never depart therefrom. Kenneth Bonzo, who during his High School career, was our idea of Leander, Apollo, and Rudolph Valentino all rolled into one, had been sued for Heart Balm and was working it out on the streets of New Brighton in the employment of the Borough. Instead of going swimming to get his summer sunburn, he simply went through the daily routine of dragging his shovel upside down and drawing pay for it. Darwin Iden whose vocation, as well as avocation, was women, had gone to India where he could have a harem. Since he had Darwin for a name, we can't see how he can have so much faith in mankind, but it seems that it's women kind rather than mankind in which he has the faith. We were always annoyed by the childish pranks of Fred Ripper, but he decided to do something brave and desperate. He went to Alaska, and we are afraid we have driven another man to destruction. We haven't heard from him for quite a while, and the only thing left to' conclude is that he is probably one of God's frozen children. And last but not least comes Paul Bermon. He had an art studio in the traditional third floor attic. Because of the distance of his studio from the ground, we conclude that he was a rising young artist every time he climbed the stairs. He was eating sarf dines, with no preference as to oil or mustard, in order that he might pay his threc beautiful models, Francelia Crowl, Naomi Boss, and Elizabeth Druschel.

He said he had just had an interview with her and that she had given up her stage life falthough she had been quite successful at this even in the plays at schoolj and had entered the movies. He informed me that if I desired to see her I should go to the Regent Theatre that evening as she was appearing in person along with her picture Why Women Prefer Preacher's Sons. -Mary Morgan '29 ...sh ' . h Z.--x, M - ..,a f l - N - tx . .- ,N i,. , .

J ohn Thompson The HEN we returned again to our Alma Mater in September, 1928, we entered her doors as upperfclassmen, and very proud of the fact. Quite a change has come over our class, since as a group of Frosh we received our share of the plaguing of the Sophomores. Junior Class During our second year we were accepted as one of the student body, passing a very uneventful term, save for doing our readin', 'ritin', an' 'rithf meticf' But now, as the proverbial jolly Juniors, we are striving hard to keep the seat of our wagon, hitched to a star--the star of graduation. We now realize the responsibility resting upon us as a class, and have chosen a capable leader from our midst-Kenneth Kester, to help us in our undertakings. President Kester is assisted by the eflicient secretary, Belva Douthett, and treasurer, John Thompson, Raymond Withrow iilling the office of Vicefpresident. With such officers to advise us, our class will easily solve our difficulties. We have acquired a new attitude toward school and all its activities. Members of our class are prominent in all fields'-athletics, literary, music, and scholastic activities. They have worked nobly and well, and we are proud of them all. We meet all obstacles as they come, but we don't worry, as a frown is frightfully unbecoming to a junior. It is with such determination and spirit that our Literary Society was carried on, and we began working on our class play, which was a huge success. lll -.Y, , l ,im I: Page Sixtyfeightl Q yw Y E, Page Seventy Aiken, Marthe Alexander, Lester Atkinson, Robert Abend, Frances Bermon, john Bradley, jack Braden, Edna Brandenberger, Grace Barber, Viola Beitsch, Thelma Book, George Blinn, Laverne Barkley, Rex Bartchy, Eugene Bosworth, Vernard Bingham, Florence Beane, Malcourt Bedison, Vincent Beitsch, Clifford Boehm, George Brown, Woodrow Cook, Gaylord Carlson, Paul Charles, Treva Correll, Arthur Caughey, Margaret Clinton, Bertha Cook, Florence Craig, Georgia Crowl, Jean De Vinney, Charles Dunham, Robert Duvall, Nile Eaton, Virginia Ecoff, Jay Enslen, Robert Evans, William Fisher, Mary Elizabeth Feits, Frank Florick, Catherine Frederick, Kenneth Frishkorn, William Green, Ivy Groves, Edith Gacesa, Mirko Graham, Melvin S OPl'lO1T101'C C1388 Godlewski, Anna Hall, Olive Harlan, Anna Mae Herron, Gale Hildebrand, Grace Hurley, Thomas Hendricks, Elizabeth Holzworth, Hazel Hays, Robert Hum, Elmer Harris, Frances Hayden, Myrtle Heible, Beryl Hall, Charles Holliger, William Horstman, Willis Hughes, Elmer jenkins, Harold jackson, Grace Jones, Alice Jakovac, Mary Karr, Evelyn Kane, Sidney Kelbaugh, Karl Langnecker, Thurman Leibold, Charles Lombardo, Lucy McGinley, Jean McKenzie, Mildred Moody, Margaret Mooney, Amanda Morall, Marna McCarty, Helen Miller, Elizabeth Maybray, Victor Miller, Burton Moody, Robert Myers, Eugene Miller, Marie McKenzie, Howard Nelson, Robert Newlon, Robert Crtelt, Howard O'Neil, Mildred Pfleghar, Dorothy Pardoe, Mary f Page Seventyfonej R Rarick, Betty Roberts, Ro Jean Ruff, Dorothy Robinson, Welton Romine, Clifford Reech, Christy Rothart, Stephen Russel, Richard Reed, Charlotte Sipe, Maynard Steinfeld, Wilfred Stanyard, Eleanor Santelli, Charles Steed, Richard Stewart, Dale' Shoaf, Gweneth Smith, Norma Stobart, Louise Smith, Dorothy Shaffer, Kathryn Schofield, Virginia Sager, Betty Sabol, Pauline Shuster, Nicholas Tinstmani, James Umlauf, Evelyn Veiock, Flora Wilson, Loyal Weidman, Fred Webb, Randal Weeber, Carol Wurzel, Kenneth Wooley, Lawrence Willard, Elsie Wilson, Dorothy Wood, Stina Woodling, John Wiley, Martha Wells, Robert Weiskopf, Thomas White, Bertha Yard, Wilbert Zink, Mary Ellen Wallace, Robert Thomas, Duwaine Richard, Ralph ' M111 'Sim' aiu, x S-,fx Ai 1 A I ':i'rfl1fief-s-V ...hr ,mil x -' -1+-.var-4 is ' , 3, ' ,Tay , .

S. We have made the present high school classes watch our record and we intend to leave it undimmed for future classes. We resumed our studies in September, 1928, as Sophomores, not Freshies. It surely is a trial to be an upper classmann and to watch the green ones hurrying through the halls. Cn October 5, 1928, we held our first class meeting as Sophs. At this meeting we had an election of class officers. The results of the election were as follows. Pres' ident, Wilfred Steinfeldg Vice President, Robert Wells, Secretary, Myrtle Hayden, Treasurer, Robert Wallace. We are surely proud of our officers and they are well suited to their positions of class leadership. We held another meeting with our new president presiding. At this meeting, it was decided to have our oHicer's pictures in the Alaurum. We also voted for a class party which was held Friday, November 23, in the junior High School Building. It surely was a delightful event. The program was arranged in menu style. Most of us are looking forward to our Junior year when we may have a class play of our own. We have had a most successful year as Sophomores. We have the largest number of Honor Students in our class every month. We are active in every school affair, in the band, mixed chorus, glee clubs and all other organizations. We even have four cheerleaders to help keep up our Pep and Spirit. Our selected colors are rose and silver, quite pretty, don't you think? Our appropriate motto is: Never Backward, Ever Forward. The class flower is the beautiful pink American Beauty Rose. The Trail Blazers are slowly moving on their way to leave their signums to coming classes. A s...... - . . JT, :F , ,ry N .,' N, I .Ju gy LR .

This may be applied to the classes in High School. Each leaves behind, a patteran to direct and guide the classes which are to come after. Our tribe of '32 is one of the largest that has ever started out to form its patteran in New Brighton High. Our camping ground is the floor which we monopolize entirely, except for a small band of Sophomores. Because of our extreme youth we were not at first allowed to elect a chief, but have to be content to be under the supervision of an elder counselor, Mr. Hazlett. However, we did elect society oHicers who performed their duties faithfully and efficiently. By their aid the literaries have brought out local talent which will help our class in forming its patteran. We must not suppose that the first journey of this new tribe is especially easy. Despite the patteran left by the other tribes for us to follow, the journey has its trials and hardships. It is natural that the older and more experienced tribes should feel a little superior toward us and would laugh at all our mistakes. They even went so far as to brand the male numbers of this new tribe with an unusual style of hairfdress. It is not easy to start out on an entirely new path of life, and even with guidance and supervision, the journey is sure to be hard. The other tribes have their own duties and interests and so the new tribe is left to follow the patteran left by the preceding tribes, of course with the help of a more experienced leader. We have had a part in a new organization in our high school, 'LThe Pep Club. It was during the meetings of this club that we were permitted to descend to the lower regions and mingle with the more mature tribes. Throughout our whole class year we have been forming our patteran. Although not permitted to participate in some of the organizations which included the others, we have taken part in all activities open to the Freshmen, for that is the name given this tribe of '32. Some of the tribe have shown interest in musical activities, some in various phases of public speaking, and some in athletics. 1928 was a proiitable year for our tribe to start upon its journey as it was during this year that New Brighton had attained high rank among the other schools. We won first place in essay, second place in extemporeg our debate season started out well, and we had an exceptionally iine basketball team that won the championship of Section III. We, the tribe of '32, have taken part in various organizations and in some cases, the contests. Band, orchestra, Girls' Glee Club, and music memory are included among these. We hope to have been successful this year in forming our patteran and hope it will be a help to the classes which are to follow. NVe wish success to the tribe of '29. The patteran they have left has been a help to us as well as to the tribes before us. If all the tribes will try hard to leave a helpful and instructive patteran, New Brighton will be a very successful school.

H. Wylie of the Education Department of Geneva College conceived the idea of a contest among the high schools of Beaver County. This competition was to include athletics, tests in school subjects and all phases of literary work. It is to the latter that we wish to call attention here. At the start, each school was scheduled to meet every other school, competing in one evening in essay, oration, extempore, declamation and debate. The original plan has been changed and modified until we have our present system, whereby all the essayists meet in competition on one evening as do the orators, declaimers, and extempore speakers. In debate this year each school had a schedule of six contests. New Brighton has consistently enjoyed unusual success in this phase of the contest, this year proving no exception to the rule. The first of the contests was that of essay writing held at Elfwood early in Def cember. There were three assigned topics, from which that of World Peace was finally selected. Rebecca Weeber deserves a great deal of credit for winning first place and several points toward the big cup. lwfiss Monroe, of the English department, was her coach. Those of us who attended the declamation contest at Rochester High School were well repaid. The performances of the evening were unusually ine, and received much hearty commendation from the members of the audience. Alice Jones, our New Brighton representative chose for her selection, Gentlemen, The King! Although she did not win one of the first three places, Alice is deserving of a great deal of praise She worked long and faithfully with Miss Sutton in preparing her selection. When we realize that all the other contestants were Seniors, we have some conception of the keen competition. We are looking forward to big things next year. The county extempore contest was preceded in Brighton High by an unusually close contest for the right to represent N. B. H. S. Paul Carlson, Melvin Graham, and Raymond Withrow worked long and hard with Mr. Corkan, with Raymond as final choice. The selection was more than vindicated when Raymond placed second. When Miss Sutton announced plans for oration this year, quite a number of students began work toward securing the position of high school orator. After the preliminary tryouts, three were retained, Robert Wells, John Graham, and James Mansell. Making a final choice was a difficult task, but james Mansell was selected. He has been practicing steadily with Miss Sutton in preparation for the contest held at Geneva College. The delivery of his oration in chapel was received very favorably by the student body. James represented New Brighton High School very worthiiy, securing first place and four points toward the big cup. , The contestants mentioned thus far have had a rather difficult task, in that they worked all alone, with no teamfmates to advise and encourage. We can scarcely appreciate, unless we ourselves have experienced it, the sort of bravery that a contest of this sort calls for. The students in general can do a great deal by a kind and friendly word, or a show of interest in these contestants. The only literary group that works definitely as a team is that composed of the debators. We were represented in debate this year by Wilma Knopp, Elsie Bermon. Miriam Lindsey, and Alice Gore, with Mary Ellen Zink and Anna Mae Harlan as alternates. Early in the year work was begun on the question of a Federal department of Education. We were fortunate this year in having a team of experienced speakers. The team has been most successful. Only one of the six will be lost by graduation, so prospects for next season are bright. Miss Curry and Miss Heineman coached the teams. The enthusiasm and interest of the student body in our literary teams is increasing rapidly. Cooperation will do a great deal toward bettering our record. Be a booster! f Page Seventyfnine I ..-.-...v YV.V ..................-......4.- The Geneva u.ACaJC1'l'1iCS,, HE ACADEMICS, as they are popularly termed, are tests given to the students of the Beaver County schools as a part of the annual contest sponsored by Geneva College. The goal toward which all the schools are working is the winning of the big cup, the coveted prize which represents first place. If any school wins the big cup for three successive years, it becomes their permanent possession. New Brighton High School possesses one such cup. Beaver Falls has won the big cup for the past two years, and must win again this year to retain possession of it. The plan of the contests has changed from year to year as experience has been gained. At the outset, several outstanding students from each of the different classes were chosen to represent New Brighton High School. For example, some students were selected to take the History examination, others French, still others English, and the same was true of the other subjects. These students went up to Geneva College where the examinations were conducted. However, it was felt that the results did not always represent the work of the school as awhole, so it was modified in such a way that all students taking certain subjects are examined. The subjects are determined by lot through the Schoolmen's Committee. Because the contest material varies among the high schools, it was deemed wise to draw up syllabi for the various courses. The teachers of the valley met in committees with Mr. Newpher, the director of the contest, and classified the material to be covered by the tests. Once the subjects were chosen, the teachers submitted to the college questions from which the examinations were made up. Most of these comprise what we know as objective tests, since they can be graded in a uniform manner, and fairly evaluated. Last year New Brighton succeeded in ranking first in Caesar and Biology, second in Plane Geometry, and third in American History, thus securing first place in the county. It is hoped that this year's record may be even better. The Pitt Contest The University of Pittsburgh sponsors each year a contest among a large number of high schools in academic work. Each school sends to Pittsburgh one or more students to represent it in almost every course. The number to be sent depends upon the number of students in the class. Last year most of the students competing were chosen from the Senior class. This was done because a test in general information was taken by each student, in addition to the test in the particular course from which he had been sent. The examinations were given in Memorial Hall. The finals held after dinner took place in Carnegie Music Hall. At this session, too, medals and ribbons were awarded. Although New Brighton High School did not succeed in placing as a team, several of its students won individual places, for which they are to be heartily congratulated. The Commercial Contest The first State Commercial Contest was held in May, 1922, at the State Teachers College, Indiana, Pa. It was open to any regularly enrolled student in the Commercial Course, of any high school in the State. Within two years the interest throughout the state, had grown to such a point that this plan had to be changed. In the year 1923f24 each county formed its own organization and held a contest earlier in the year M.- .-4-ni-4...-an-i f Page Eighty :I .. ft.ff 4ZTa ' ,.',h in I ':w'iT TE'i'J'!'i',f-'3 -1 '--V .

The winners of first and second place were then sent to Indiana to compete with the winners of the other counties. This plan was followed until the current year. Instead of the winners being sent, each high school will be allowed to send one student for each of the seven subjects in the contest. New Brighton High School has always ranked high in both the county and state contests. We have taken first place in the county for the past five years. With the exception of one year we have always placed students in the final contest ranking, high lpoint being reached in 1925, when Gladys Bixler '25 placed first in Ereefforfall Book' eeping. We sincerely hope that New Brighton High School will continue to hold the high place which it so rightfully deserves. K Senior Literary Society Gur record as a literary class still stands as high as ever, we may repeat truthfully the statements made in previous Alaurums, the class of '29 ranks high in Literary work. The success of our four years in our literary career has been due to the ability of our class members and their persevering attitude. A great deal of credit is due to our faculty advisors who have ever cooperated with us in our work. The one in charge of our programs this year, has been Mr. McNitt, to whom we extend our appreciation and thanks. Our first officers were Robert Steinfeld as Presidentg Evelyn Anderson, Secretaryg and William Gordon our dignified Marshall. Bob worked with the program committee: Naomi Boss, Fredericka Wolf, Rebecca Weeber, and Paul Bermon, with a vim, making our programs for the first halffyear worthy of Seniors. Our second president, Edward McGuire, has not been one step behind, for as- sisted by Elizabeth Druschel as secretary, he made the last halffyear just as good. The dignified place of Marshall was held this time by Louise Ziegel. Edward's consisted of Mary Morgan, Elizabeth Tucker, Wade Houk, Ord Blackledge and Francelia Crowl. As we close the book on the last page of literary history we seem to see a gold star appearing to mark our honor there. Junior Literary Society The latter part of September the class of 1930 met in Mr. I'Iill's room and elected their Literary society officers for the first semester of their Junior year. Mary Ellen Coene graced the office of President, Alice Gore being the efficient secretary, and Eli Soodik our Marshall. Their term of ofiice began in October, and ended, very success' fully, in December. Immediately after the close of the Hrst semester, we elected Eli Soodik President: Raymond Withrow, Secretary, and William Frederick, Marshall. These ofhcers handled in a very able manner the remaining literary meetings. The class sincerely thanks all those holding Literary offices and taking part in the programs. Sophomore Literary Society Shortly after we, the class of '31, resumed our duties as Sophomores, we held a meeting in Room 2 under the supervision of Miss Lytle for the purpose of selecting our literary officers.

Literary programs are given once a month. These programs are educational as well as entertaining. They consist of extempore speechs, orations, essays, debates, music and declamations. Our programs have been successful and pleasing. Their success depended upon teachers, students and all members of the student body. Everybody has done his part exceptionally well in order to carry out our programs. The election for literary officers for the second semester was held with the result that we discovered we still had good oiiicials. . We have had good debates, and in one, two varsity alternates, Anna Mae Harlan and Mary Ellen Zink showed their skill along that line. Their work was exceptional and we are looking forward to great things from them in the future. We will soon be Juniors and we hope we shall continue to have successful literary programs.

I ..........,., Robert Grant Secretary ..,..........,..,............,. Ruth Pollock Vice President .......,.,.........

The program committee for the first semester was composed of Richard Dunkerly, Alberta Kendrew, Bernard Leuin, Mary Elizabeth MacPherson, William Roush, and Anna Srmeg. This committee made its selections with great care and found that the class of '32 had many talented individuals. The second semester officers also proved themselves worthy of their positions. Much is expected from both semesters' officers in the future. The second semester program committee proved that the Freshmen had an exceptionally large number of unusual students. The literary programs showed that they worked hard and made their selecf tions wisely. From all persons who took part in literary and from the entire class of '32 much is expected in the future. The Freshmen literary programs for this year have probably been among the best ever given by a Freshman class. New Brighton High School should be proud to have such a class. Perhaps in the near future the present Freshman Class will show their interest and enthusiasm by helping to win the Big Cup. From Freshman work so far, it seems that they will very capably ill the vacancy left by the noble Sophomore Class. Too much praise and credit cannot be given to Mr. Hazlett, their very capable adviser. He proved most faithful and helpful at all times. His work is partially shown by the success of the literaries. None of the Freshmen will ever forget him. He will remain a friend always. ' ,V . 's..., ,,.,,.L., 4 , ., f HY ,, .,,.

Then, in November we published an issue in honor of Mr. G. L. Dawes, who made possible Brighton's Gymnasium. In December we published the usual Christmas number. In January our readers received an issue dedicated to the Scotch. But we weren't Scotch with material! To show the world that our twenty years of life hadn't made us oldffashioned, in March we issued 'iThe Modernist And how! Our teams which have been so successful this year were honored in our April issue. And then to end our labors with a fitting climax the staff of 19284929 published a Senior number in May. In Miss McComb we found a most able adviser, and to her is due much credit for the position our magazine has reached. We were honored at Christmas time when the Pennsylvania School Press Associaf tion asked the Literary Editor to preside at a Round Table discussion. Rebecca Weeber was the delegate. We feel that this association will mean much to us in coming years. We who are Seniors, are sorry to have to end our efforts in this direction, but we leave to those who follow the task of carrying our torch and the torch of preceding staffs, undimmed through the years.

Surely no one will forget the time when the Mixed Chorus travelled to Pittsburgh, Octoher 20, 1928, to sing for the music teachers of the Pittshurgh Institute and to hroadcast over the radio at Gimhels Numerous people from New Brighton listened in. The contest chorus has heen selected. XVe must win this year to maintain the precedent cstahlished hy the memhers of former classes, that of first place for five years. Our motto is:4L'For New Brighton, first or last. She's always first. Special credit must he given to Miss Snyder, our music supervisor. We wish her the best of luck this year along with the promise of our hest.

But, alas, here is where you were mis' taken for music memory is just a pleasant association of music and names of pieces and their composers. When school hegan we heard gruesome rumors that there would he no music memory. At last much to our relief Mr, Wiley announced that those interested in music memory should meet in the auditorium. We met hut were told that the lists hadn't come yet and to please stand hy. We waited for ages, it seemed, when we were called hack again. The lists had arrived and much to our joy they contained quite a few pieces similar to last years' and the numher of records was reduced to forty. We hegan work at once hy studying the lives of composers and the peculiar traits of their music. This took quite a while and as the time hefore the contest was getting shorter, Miss Snyder decided to omit the lives of the composers until after the contest. We then worked with full speed ahead toward the contest. The fatal day, March 4th, arrived to see the class cut down to the ten contest' ants and two alternates. Special classes were arranged to give more time for studyf ing records. Miss Snyder arranged special means to help us rememher records. VV'e are working ahead toward the contest and guided hy our never tiring super- visor, Miss Snyder, we are hoping to win.

Every patteran that they left behind was an admonition to those following that happiness lay ahead. Music was very necessary to every camp. Through our High School lives the orchestra has always left a patteran of lightfhearted happiness. It is constantly helping us to be cheerful. This year is no exception to the rule. The orchestra has been working very faithfully under the capable instruction of Mr Benf jamin Phillips. Although the people studying in the White Property are suddenly disturbed by some unheard of sounds, it just shows the tireless efforts of Mr. Phillips and those who are under his supervision. The orchestra has played both in the High School and Junior High and was received favorably at both places. The night of the Senior Class Play it made an unusually fine showing. With all this in its favor, we are sure that the N. B. H. S. orchestra will take high honors at the contest. Therefore, we say screech, bang, and toot, as much as you wish, if that will be of any help to win hrst place in the contest. We have to win this contest!

It is un' der the able management of Professor Phillips. We didnlt have much hope at the beginning of the year but the more we practiced the better we became. By having practices on Monday and Thursday mornings and frequent rehearsals after school, we were ready to play at the football games when the weather permitted. The school bought us uniforms in time for the Beaver Falls game and we showed our rival's band up so much that they bought Capes like ours later. The fellows, with Crimson and Gold capes and caps and white trousers surely made a flashy picture. When playing, the band is led by the band master, George Thorne. We accompanied our championship basketball team to Pittsburgh where they played in the W. P. I. A. L. elimination contest and we made a big showing at the Pitt Stadium. We also played at several of the games at the Armory, besides taking part in the Musical Concert held in the spring. The band isn't really a High School organi:ation as many of the mem' bers are in the grades and Junior High. Some of the instruments are owned by the school so when one of the band graduates someone else takes up the instrument. The band was good this year but we expect it to be better next year.

The club consists entirely of Freshmen and Sophomores, but proved to be able to sing. At first Miss Snyder didn't seem to have much confidence in our vocal ability, but the girls worked hard and soon were able to harmonize well. We decided to make it a real organization, so at the beginning of the year, we elected a president, Betty Rarick, and as secretary and treasurer, Alice Jones. We thought it would be very nice for each of the girls to have a Girls' Glee Club pin. This question was voted on, and it was unanimously decided to adopt one. The girls sang Christmas Carols in chapel one morning during the Christmas season. They also sang at the VJomen's Club one afternoon. A concert was given in April by the musical organizations of N. B. H. S. in which the club took an active part. The organization was quite large consisting of about twentyfseven girls, and by the end of the year everyone of the girls knew a great deal more about music, bc- cause of the unusual ability of Miss Snyder.

With this goal in view, the club is divided into three units, the tenors, second tenors, and basses. The music is not too difficult and the boys are progressing in the art of reading music. We have become fondly affectionate of the little back room in the library to which we retire every Wednesday to pursue the elusive 'LMiss Harmony. The final triumph of the year is the musical concert given by the musical organif zations of N. B. H. S. This club had an important part in the entertainment. Although the club has not accomplished wonders this year, bright hopes lay in store for the future since a very few of the members are seniors.

VVe had a meeting on Snobs, on Rersonality and on Etiquette Miss Snyder furnished us a feast on music. Our parties were wonderful, a Spook Party at Halloween, and a Christmas Party. One of our outstanding events was a joint meeting with the HifY in February. We discussed the whys and wherefores of Lincoln's char' acter and Washington's leadership. Later, we had a joint meeting with the Beaver Falls Girl Reserves with Miss Withrow of Pittsburgh as the speaker. Back in Sep' tember we had a corn roast and swimming party at Darlington Lake. This was made possible by the kindness of Berry's. Sarah is the vice president of the Club. By no means do we restrict ourselves to having a good time in the Girl Reserves Club. We have been selling candy at Teachers Institute and games. We plan to send two delegates to Kiski this summer. Last summer Mary Morgan and Bertha Boren attended the conference there, and came home bubbling over with new ideas. We have a serious side to the Girl Reserve Club, too. We try to live up to the purpose, To Find and Give the Best.

Mr. Newport, Reverend Smith, and Professor Phillips were elected as advisers for the ensuing year. The club decided to hold its meetings every Monday evening at 7:30 at the Y. M. C. A. Leroy Kaufman was sent to the Setting Up Conference at Camp Konfofkwee on September 7, 8, and 9. In December Leroy Kaufman, Thurman Langnecker, Orville McKenzie, Prof. Phillips, and Mr. Newport attended the North West Older Boys Conference held at Coraopolis. Some of the activities which aroused the interest of the members of the club this year were a church service, an interfclub Girl Reserves and HifY social meeting held on Lincolnis birthday, a Halloween party, weiner roast, suppers the last Monday in each month, a Bible study contest and attendance contest with other HifY's of the state, Several outside speakers and a well arranged program for the year helped to make the meetings more interesting. After the meetings the fellows could go swimming or play pool, checkers, or a number of other games. The club printed basketball schedules in which were the HifY program and a writefup of the organization. Two induction services were held-one early in the year and the other toward the last of the season. The HifY has done good work this year and we hope next year's club will do as well and better!

That is the name of a new club organized in New Brighton High School this year. About one hundred and Hfty seniors, juniors, sophomores, and freshmen belong to this club. It is sponsored by Mr. Heider, Miss Ham' ilton, Miss Koontz and Miss Heineman. The cheerleaders, Sarah Berry, Anna Mae Harlan, Bob Wallace, Edith Groves, Bob Wells, and Evelyn Anderson lead the cheers, and conduct the meetings. At the first meeting we were told why the Pepper Club was being formed- we're to go to every game, cheer our heads off in all kinds of weather, and back all athletic teams. We heartily agreed to meet all the requirements and stand by them. After this we gave a few yells, and then adjourned much delighted with the rosy outlook of loads of fun during the athletic seasons. At our next meeting we decided to select an aim, a motto, and a song. We decided that our aim should be, To outfpep the peppiest schoolf' and our motto, We're percolating with Pep. And this is our song that we Peppers sing. It is to the tune of Brighton Will Shine. We are the Pepper Club We have the Pep We are the Pepper Club From N. B. H. S.

It is conceded that the chief aim of education is character building. If this goal is to be reached, then the school must train its pupils not only for gainful occupation, but for his leisure hours as well. It is to develop in the student an interest in worthfwhile activities for his leisure time that extrafcurricular activities are organized. They are gaining in number and interest with each succeeding year. We have seen several added during this past year in New Brighton. Under the direction of Miss Houk, the Senior Art Club was organized. Its out' standing accomplishment was the art work for the Alaurum. Of even more recent organization is the Audubon society made up from the Biology classes. Its members received from the National organization bird study material that they will use in their spring hikes and Held trips. A distinctive inf signia is worn by its members. The Senior English classes, under Miss Monroe's direction, have been organized with capable officers in an effort to further interest in the course, and to develop originality in English composition. At Mr. Heider's suggestion, the Pepper Club was organized early last fall, so that we might have a nucleus who could be depended upon to support the various teams. The plan was acted upon with enthusiasm and the spirit of New Brighton High never failed, even in the face of discouragement and defeat. The Girl Reserve Club is the junior Y. W. C. A. organization which attempts to introduce to its members different worthfwhile leisureftime occupations. Our meeting on Hobbies this year told of a number. Discussions of music, books, and personality stimulated thought and interest. The HifY club under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. has for its objective the development of Christian manhood among the high school boys. New Brighton this year for the first time supported a high school band, dressed in uniforms of crimson and gold. It led parades, appeared in chapel and at athletic events, and did its best to tone up the spirit of the school. The orchestra has appeared at the school plays and in chapel. Their big event, as always, was the county contest, in which they did quite well. The mixed chorus has been receiving vocal training in its practices looking to' ward the Geneva contest in which New Brighton always makes a fine showing. The girls' and boys' glee clubs are the recruiting station for the mixed chorus of future years. They have entertained us several times in chapel services, and were warmly received by the student body. The music memory group has been studying the lives of composers and the recognition of standard works of famous musicians. They have been learning to really appreciate good music. The athletic activities of the year cannot be overlooked. The boys of the football squad, in the face of disheartening defeats, kept plu-gging away, winning comimendation for their courage and perseverance. The basketball team, more sucf cessful, is deserving of honor, and is to be congratulated for its spirit of fair play, and good sportsmanship. Our literary teams have been unusually successful, and have kept New Brighton on a par with any other high school of the county. From all of these activities, the participants have learned the lessons of poise, courage, perseverance, and fair play, that should assist them in years to come. rp ,fill-lf ...f f -f ky .

'11, I: Page One Hundred :I 3 COHCLCS KENNETH HEIDER HREE short years ago direct from the halls of Waynesburg college, Kenneth Heider took over the reins of head coach of New 1 Brighton High School. Himself a naturally gifted player both on the gridiron and gym floor, big things were expected from him. Taking practically green material, he welded together each year a for' midable machine of which any school might be proud. Beginning in 1928 with practically no material, he fashioned an aggregation in football upon which no one looked as an easy mark. 'Then taking the same kind of material in basketball, he molded tof gether a team which won the sectional title, a dark horse, conceded no chance at all at the beginning of the season. Wheii you're looking over the list of successful coaches, don't pass up Kenneth Heider. He gave Brighton a team that did what few other teams have done, and what is almost more important-he gave us a team that beat Beaver Falls twice in one year. For coaching ability we should be willing to back him against any high school coach, old or young, not only in our county, but in our state, and concede him a fifty' fifty chance of winning. KENNETH HEIDER Assistant, DENVER GIBSON Coming from Grove City College with an excellent reputation in both athletics and school work, Denver Gibson has proved himself to be a very fine assistant coach. having almost full charge of the lines of the football teams since his arrival. You need only glance at the lines he turned out to see that his coaching ability is only surpassed by his ability as a player. He was picked on Evan's AllfEastern Team in 1925 and 1926, and received honorable mention on the AllfAmerican Team of 1925. When such a man has the ability to impart his knowledge to his proteges, and the personality to make them willing students of the art, success can be the only result. Gibson has both these required qualities, and the school and town, as well as the op' ponents of his well drilled lines, will vouch for the fact that he was very successful indeed. He also assisted in baksetball, turning out a very good reserve team.

Although not placing within the first three places in football, the team had what might be called a fairly successful season. lf the fact that they won only one game might influence you to believe otherwise, glance over the remainder of the games, and observe that they tied three, with some of the strongest county teams, and even in defeat, always put up a battle of which no one could be ashamed. Starting rather slowly at Midland, they surprised everyone by tieing the highlyftouted Aliquippa team. Then after a tough loss to Butler and two even more disheartening defeats from Rochester and Grove City, they began to recuperate rapidly, and developed a forwardfpassing attack surpassed by none of the opponents. They then tied the bunch from Freedom, defeated Beaver, tied a very strong Ellwood City team, and wound up the season with a hard-fought loss to their old rivals, Beaver Falls. Injuries hampered their activities throughout the entire year, and they deserve much credit for their holding together as well as they did. Never during the season, in victory, or defeat, was that old New Brighton spirit lacking, and never did anyone stop trying and fighting when he was down' and out and his body refused to answer the courageous call of a neverfsayfdie, heart. After the excitement of the football season had worn away the fans discovered they also had something in the way of a basketball team. With practically a full veteran team back, they early showed the fans and opponents that it would take a pretty good team to set them down. After several preliminary fracases with outside high school teams, they entered on their quest for the championship of Section III. At first, conceded little chance by sport writers, they attracted litle attention, but when the end of the first half found them perched securely on top of the League, they began to take notice. The only defeat of the first half of the season chalked against the Crimson and Gold warriors was that at Butler, to the tune of 17 to 16. Continuing their steady march of victories, the team swept aside all comers, till finally with the league lead almost cinched, they took one on the nose at Ellwood City to the tune of 21 to 14. In order to win the chamf pionship now, they had to win from both Butler and Beaver Falls. The Butler game at the armory was a walk away for our team. Then the final game came, with Beaver Falls at the Beaver Falls gym. The season could end in a tie for first place, or a 10096 clean slate for first place, according to the result of that game. Somehow, the old nemesis failed to work and our boys emerged victorious, champions. We had put over the trick of beating our old rivals twice in the same year. For the first time in years, a Brighton team headed the league. Completing the season in a thrilling tilt at the Pitt Stadium, we were defeated by the strong Uniontown team, and the team laid away their uniforms after the most successful season in years. fPage One Hundred Tbreej xr K '. a-v7ah'!w?sL,,,-.EQ Page One Hundred Four u , 4..

Handicapped somewhat by injuries, he nevertheless turned in a number of such exceptional perform' ances that he was practically the unanimous choice of all critics for the position of full' back on the allfcounty eleven, and was named on the second team for all W. P. I. A. L honors. As this is his last season in high school competition, it is needless to say that next year's team will miss the passing, punting, and ball carrying of the best triple' threat man turned out at New Brighton for many years. He wound up a very success' ful high school career in a wonderful exhibition against our Thanksgiving rivals. Though gone from the team, his name will always live in the New Brighton Hall of Fame. Fair HAROLD FAIR Left Erzd Prominent in the ranks of athletes of N. B. H. S. is a friendly but somewhat solemn person by the name of Fair. He held down the position of left end very elhciently, and was right there when it came to nabbing passes. He suffered numerous injuries during the season but showed his spunk and loyalty by playing every game. He also was drop kicker and would always put the pigfskin between the bars for the try for point, if given half a chance. He was hard to beat on his offensive and defensive work and when he played, he gave everything he had. Having played last year, he was a seasoned hand at the game and many are the opponents who have felt his prowess on the Held. The team of 1929 will be greatly handicapped by Fair's graduation. Bill WILLIAM GORDON .Quarterback Winding up his high school career as signal barker, Bill proved himself one of the steadiest, most capable defense man and ball carriers in the 1928 backheld, his perf formance being second only to that of Dyson. Almost as large physically as Dyson, he made a very capable substitute for the fullback position during the captains absence from the linefup, playing an exceptionally fine game in this role in the Beaver game His performance grew steadily better as the season progressed and reached its climax in the Beaver Falls game. His absence from the lineup next year will leave a gap hard to fill. - Louie Louis ZIEGEL Halfbark Handicapped somewhat by size, but more than making up for this in grit, Louie was one of the most dependable men in our backfield. More than one over confident opponent learned to his dismay that Louie could tackle and tackle hard, and was not holding down the position of safety man merely as an ornament. He proved a regular ball hawk when it came to grabbing passes and punts out of the air, probably gaining as much ground by receiving passes as any man on the team. It will take Z1 mighty good man to 611 the position left vacant by his graduation.

He was greatly handicapped by an injury received last year, yet it can never be said that he didn't give his best at all times. Those who saw the Beaver Falls game can realize that, along with the three other graduating backs, Ditty's leaving will throw a wrench in the wheels of next ygar's grid machine, and will prove that a man's worth is brought out most by his a sence. Eli ELI SOODIK .Quarterback Qur captain elect for next year, Eli has a job on his hands, with practically new backfield to do his bidding. In addition he must lead the team, direct their plays, both on offensive and defensive. If his past work means anything we should have a great quarterback next year, and if he can give the team the fighting spirit that he himself posses there is little left to ask. He showed up well in every encounter this year, and in spite of his lightness, never lost that fight that goes a long way toward making foot- ball players. We look for great results from him during his last year, and wish him all possible luck in captaining a winning team. jay JAY ECOFF Halfback Only a Sophomore, Jay certainly looks like a find for the next two New Brighton grid aggregations. Playing halfback, he made a capable relief man for either Ziegel or Herrington, and needs only a little more experience to take on a regular berth. We expect great things from him in the next couple of years, and if his performances this season are examples of his future work, he will not be found wanting. Tom THOMAS HURLEY Right End Tom is another of our Sophomore letter men, holding down the regular berth at right end all during the '28 campaign. He turned an exceptionally steady game all season, and was seldom found wanting in the crisis. He showed great versatility in that he could receive passes, carry the ball, and also bear the brunt of the punting during Dyson's absence from the line up. He can claim the honor attained by few Crimson and Gold warriors, that of making New Brighton's only touchdown against Beaver Falls. If his work this year is .an example of what he will do in the future, he should attain the height of athletic fame before he concludes his career at New Brighton. Greer BURDELL GREER Left 'Tackle Where silence is golden, this warrior would be a millionaire, but if silence makes all players like him, we sincerely hope more Brighton fellows acquire the habit. Few and far between were the plays that went through this warrior, and those who came in contact with his rushing tackles seldom tried it a second time. Rather retiring and shy on the street, he more than made up for it on the gridiron. We are very sorry to see him leave the team, but Father Time and W. P. I. A. L. rules decree that as he will pass his twentieth birthday before next season, he must go the way of all stars, leaving a gaping hole to be filled next year. Poe GEORGE CIRCLE 5 Right Tackle Coming back against physical odds, after having been seriously injured in a game last year, Poe made an excellent partner for Greer. The tackle positions were well cared for, as opponents soon found out, when a curleyfheaded lineman, and his taciturn partner stopped play after play before it was well started. Poe received a dislocated shoulder as a present, in the Beaver game, which laid him on the sick list till the Beaver Falls game when he came back, in spite of his injury and turned in a whale of a game. He is a senior, and will leave our ranks this year, having left his name the last of a line of three great football players the Circle Brothers, Johnny, Bud and Poe , in the ranks of Brighton's best. T if Xxx... ' S-V a .: A ., 3 V ' V ' v ' . a ..,. fPage One Hundred Sixj Freddie FRED GRIMM Right Tackle When Circle was injured and a man was needed to fill his place, Fred forged to the front, and won compliments of all by his stellar work. A big man physically, it took' a mighty hard line buck to go through his territory. Although only a junior, his performances stood out in every game, and it is only natural to predict even greater success for this lad next year. He will be one of the main gears in the Heider machine, and remains as sort of a consolation for the loss of his partner tackles. Woe be unto the opponents who try to drive through him next year. They'll probably learn by the hard bumps of experience to seek diversion elsewhere. johnny joHN GRIMM Right Guard Holding the distinction which few New Brighton Athletes hold, Johnny earned his letter in the first year of his high school course. Though only a Freshman he is one of the biggest men of the squad and playing side by side with his brother Fred, makes going plenty rough for opponents. If this Grimm combination doesn't make a hard one to get through, and does not attract the notice of critics next year, we'll miss our guess. With three more years of high school competition, we predict that johnny will become one of the best guards New Brighton ever turned out. Kenny KENNETH KESTER Left Guavd Making a determined bid for a varsity position in his Freshman and Sophomore years, Kenny reached the height of his ambitions in this, his Junior year, and became not only a member of the varsity, but a man worthy to partner john Grimm at guard. He made, with Greer a strong left side, through which few gains were made. His performances this year were enough to cause his opponents plenty of worry, and with another year to go, he should be a big factor in New Brighton's defensive and offensive front line. Always giving his best, it is little wonder that his playing earned the attention of all. jimmy JAMES SHINGLETON Center Jimmy was our snapperfback during the first part of the season, being very accurate in his passes. He was one of the best defensive man on the team, his work in backing up the line being very commendable. His absence will be very noticeable next year. He will complete his high school course this year, and graduate with the coming Senior Class. He always gave the best he had to the team, and this best was enough to cause discomfort to many opposing backs. Few realize the difhculty of this center position, or they would realize that any person who can fill it as capably as Jimmy must indeed be worthy of attention. Ufohnnyl' JOHN SUTTON Center Stepping into Jimmy's place about midfseason, John assumed his new duties very capably, playing a fine game in every phase of the game. Accurate passing, cool judge ment, and good defensive work earned him his right to wear the coveted N. B. He is only a junior and should show up exceptionally well next year. With an experienced man in the pivot position, and such veteran linemen as Kester, john and Fred Grimm and Hurley, there should be little to worry about during the season of '29. Bob ROBERT STEINFIELD Manager All a spectator ever sees is the men on the Held, yet hidden away among the muddy uniforms and jerseys after every game is the manager. The cheers are not for him, yet he works faithfully, on forever cleaning shoes, jerseys, pants, repairing shoes, and taking care of every detail that excited players, and worried coaches forget, Bob took care of all this very efliciently this year, and with the hardest job any manager has had heretofore, on his hands, seldom faltered, or hesitated, never forgot, and on the whole, filled the position as it has seldom been filled before. fPage One Hundred Sevenj Page One Hundred Eight , - .1 --Y. in 1 7 4 .4 J Y , ,Y fx. fa - r m it , FW., - if f'-A A-:gig , V Y ., A .

ALAURUN L lr A .gr-in Basketball HAROLD FAIR Fair Forward Fair was our captain and leader throughout the season, piloting us successfully through many a hard fought game. Playing a forward position he fought hard and silently and seldom missed the basket, this being shown by his tying Tom Hurley for first place in Held goals. He carried the battle to the Opponent and very seldom failed to come through with a victory. He leaves us after a most successful year and Mr. Heider will look far to find a player of equal ability. THOMAS HURLEY Tom', Forward Tom was one of the most consistent scorers of the team this year, standing very high in the rating as one of the best forwards in the Section. His neat Overfhand basket from almost any angle on the floor marked him as one of the most dangerous players on the team, his field goals helped win plenty of ball games this year, and were very numerous, as is evidenced by the fact that he tied for first place in section scoring with Fair. He has two more years Ofhigh school competition, and should develop into one Of the best forwards produced in New Brighton in recent years. Although only a Sophomore, Tom has received the additional honor of piloting the Heider crew next year, and well deserves the position. Louis ZEIGLE Louis,' Guard Louis was our diminutive running guard, and stands out as a glaring example of the old adage that all good things come in small packages. He was always there with the goods in a pinch, and it was, his coolness and iron nerve that pulled the team through to many a hard fought victory. To those fans who saw him in action the memory of how he scored twenty points in the first Beaver Falls game, and then came through in the crucial moment of the second Tiger fray with the deciding points, will always stand out as a record of his greatness. His graduation this year leaves a gaping vacancy in the line up, which coach Heidler will find very hard to fill. People will remember Louis for a long time if only for his great work against Beaver Falls. WILLIAM GORDON 'KBilV' Guard Bill started Out rather slowly this soason, having some bad games and some good Ones, till suddenly he seemed converted from a player of varying playing to one of the steadiest, most dependable guards of the section. His position as still guard didn't Offer very great Opportunities for much scoring on his part, but he more than made up for this by his great defensive tactics. Although not playing the spectacular type of game, Bill probably deserves more credit than any man on the team for stopping opponents from scoring and starting the ball toward the Brighton goal for the team to score. Very few Opponents got the ball from our banking board when Bill was in there. It is needless to say that he will be missed next year. Graduation takes him along in its clutches and leaves Mr. Heider minus one of the best guards in the district. g r I --g, bi ' X -,x gi Ji 214- 'X'-J-1-gg ,LM-5-.,-,,...S tu sf.

I ..-... , : , RALPH DYSON Firpo Center Handicapped greatly by injuries received during the football season, Ralph filled in consistently at the pivot position, and ranks with the best centers in the section. Although not playing in all the games, he rolled up a personal score column not to be overlooked. Not at all small in size, it took a very good man to Outfjump him, and if he started on one of his dashes down the floor, it wasn't what you might call safe to get in his way. His ability to follow up shots aided the team greatly, and his work on the defense can not be passed over hurriedly. The eight semester rule takes his services from the team next year, and needless to say, he will be missed. Players of his caliber can never pass on from high school competition with out some coach wistfully wishing he had a younger brother or some one else to ill in where he stopped. LEROY BURFORD Roy Center Roy very capably filled in at center when Dyson was out with an injured knee, and showed great promise for next year. Although a trifle nervous, he played a good brand of ball, and fitted in nicely into the team work of the quintet. With a little more experience, Roy need not take a back seat among the centers in the section. He is tall enough to cause any opponent to worry and should develop into a very Hne shot next year. Only a Junior we expect to see him holding down Dyson's job next year, and would not be surprised at all of he became as good a center as Dyson himself. JOHN SUTTON johnny Guard johnny proved to be very good reserve material for the guard position this year, giving Gordon a hard battle for his varsity berth. Very long physically, he is adept at returning the ball from the banking board, and is a hard man to score on. He worked very well with the other varsity members, when injected into the game, and played a leading role in the success of the Reserve team this year. He has an' other year left to do his bit for the high school, and should be one of the main cogs in the Helder defense next year. He should be one of the outstanding guards of the Section if his development of this year continues. H ELI Soonnc Eli Forward Although not very tall, Eli makes the going hard for any opponents. Not afraid to rough it with anyone to gain possession of the ball, his speed and accurate shooting makes him very dangerous to any opponent. He plays a hard scrappy game, never ceasing to fight hard, whether he is winning or losing. He broke into the line up very frequently this year, and fitted in very well in the offense of the Heider crew. Eli should be one of the outstanding candidates for a varsity berth next year, as he is at present only a Junior. We will follow his progress with anticipation that he will become an exceptional forward, and look to see him and Hurley high on the scoring column next year. ROBERT HERRINGTON Ditty Forward Starting the season as a guard, Ditty was moved to a forward position, due to his speed and his tenacity in going after the ball. Like Soodik, he was also willing to ' ' . W X '-sm , I:Page One Hundred Tenl rough it with an opponent and generally got the ball when he went after it. He broke into quite a few of the games, and won recognition by his accurate shooting, clever dribbling, and excellent passing of the ball. When not playing on the varsity he played on the reserve squad and was one of the mainstays of that team, helping pull them through many a tough game. His graduation this year will leave a gapping hole in the reserve list and will deprive the varsity of one of the most capable reserve men of the squad. LESTER ALEXANDER UI-CSN Guard Starting the season as a rather unknown quantity, Les early proved thc 'Ldark horse of the team, and won for himself the position as reserve guard. His excellent showing when injected into the various games won for him not only the acclaim of his fellow players, but also of the fans. He has the makings of the best guard we have seen in this district in a number of years and should he continue to perform as he has in the past, is almost certain of obtaining a regular berth on next year's team. As he is only a Sophomore, he has two more years in which to do this develop' ing and should become one of the mainstays of the Heider machine for the period during which he competes. GEORGE CIRCLE Poem Manage-r When you're looking at a game, you seldom think of a certain person who has a great deal to do with the working of the basketball team. Who keeps the uniforms in tip top shape, takes care of the materials, binds the bruises, rubs the sore spots, and does the hundred of other odd jobs so important in the season's work? It is the manager and his group of assistants. Never proclaimed on the lips of fans, never cheered for his spectacular exhibitions he does as much work as any of the players. Poe carried this job very successfully, with very little complaint from any one, and left in his wake a coming manager, the present assistant, johnny Thompson, to carry on where he stopped. THE RESERVES Never considered of very great importance, and seldom noticed, there is a group of everftrying, everftraining fellows, always plugging on, with no hope of gaining a position on the present varsity. From these will come the varsities of the years to come. You will cheer them then as you cheered the present varsity, and even then there will still be another group of unseen hardfworking individuals in the same stages of development as these are now. Among the reserves of this year the following stood out prominently and deserve all due credit for their hard work and cooperation with the coaches in sticking through the season: Cliff ord Bietsch ..... ...Center Wilferd Steinfeld .,..

This building is to be erected on the property recently purchased from the White heirs. The location is admirable and with the completion of the gymnasium, New Brighton will have a group of high school buildings the equal of which very few third class cities can boast. Physical education and physical training will be required of all high school students. There will be a double gymnasium floor so that boys and girls may be trained simulf taneously. The seating capacity will be adequate, for spectators. The architecture of the gymnasium will be in keeping with the present high school building. The furnishing will be of the latest and best equipment. II'ltC1'C13SS B2lSliCtlJ2l11 The first game of the elimination games was between the Freshmen and Seniors. The game started with the Freshmen in the lead, both teams playing good ball. At the halfftime the Freshmen had lost the lead but the Seniors were only two points ahead, the score being 18 to 16.

IfPage One Hundred Twelvej 4 Am QTY it ,QV ,......, . 4-.- A Review of HE school year 1928-29, while not yet ended, gives sufficient evidence that it is one of the best years in the history of the local schools. Schools have as their primary object, the training of young people for complete living. To the extent that the school is successful in this aim, has it fulfilled its mission. In order that men and women may live full and complete lives, regardless of life's years, the training of youth must be broad enough to include the entire nature of man. In the beginning the physical welfare of boys and girls is of paramount importance. Without strong, vigorous bodies we spend life under extreme handicaps. The present year has been marked by an extended program of physical training and health education. This program has not only included youth athletically inclined, but has been mandatory for every boy and every girl. 'In athletics it has been one of our best years, while not outstanding in the annals of football, the team performed very creditably, ending a successful season. In basketball the team was the most outstanding that has represented the Crimson and Gold. Winning sectional honors the team met defeat in the Hrst round of the W. P. I. A. L. finals. As a well balanced team, the high school has never been repref sented by its equal. It has the distinctive honor of defeating Beaver Falls, New Brighton's age long rival, in two games during one season which no other team has been able to do in a seven year period. Education has its moral side. Without men and women of strong moral character, all nations fall. The New Brighton Schools have always stood for high morals inside the classroom and on the street. Two organizations of the local schools are vitally interested in character building. The Girl Reserves and the HifY have had much to do with character training. These clubs, during the present year, have been eminently successful both from the standpoint of membership and in their fine influence. In a literary way the school has had one of its best years. The four literary societies have given outstanding programs. In the literary contests our contestants have lifted their school to the top. . Academically the New Brighton Schools have set a high standard, as the numerous trophies in the cabinet in the hall indicate. Ordinarily we think of academic success as the prime measure of success in school life. Accompanied by good morals and blessed with good health, the academic success of any boy or any girl means an abundant life. The present year will prove no backward step in the struggle of the school for academic honors. It is to be hoped that when the Academic Contest is over, we shall have as good results as last year when our school stood at the head of the list by a large margin. God recognized the power of music to charm the human soul and lift man nearer to heaven. By creating singing birds and all the harmonies of the natural world for our happiness, He stimulated the soul of man with an intense love of the musical. Last year, for the first time, we failed to place first in music, losing only by a small margin. This year our musical organizations are the strongest we have ever had and unless other schools are especially strong, we shall again add distinction in a musical way. That this year has thus far been so successful, and promises to continue so to its end, is due to the faculty of the school. The untiring efforts of faculty and students in regular and extrafcurricular work are the surest guarantees of success. I congratulate the Alaurum staff and its adviser for the fine work they are doing and the entire school for an outstanding year, the year 192829. S. W. LYONS, Superintendent f' Y -s...,s. 9.4.

Sonny Boy then thought that he had seen A Rainbow Round His Shoulder, but instead it only proved to be the reflection of Carolina Moon on the Blue Grass. Suddenly- just like a melody out of the Sky came that Precious Little Thing Called Love which Sonny Boy had long looked forward to as actually becoming a part of a boy's life. At last it came! His 'LLittle Mother had told him that it would come some day and it did. Really it did. When Sonny Boy was a child, he used to Like to Blow the Horns on Automof biles that go-Whoopee! but sad to say-these days were now brought to a close and Sonny Boy was thinking of his Dream House in Avalon Town, Down where the Shy Little Violets Grow.

C. A. E. 'Twas on an early morning of October, nineteen hundred and twentyfeight that the New Brighton mixed chorus journeyed to Pittsburgh. We felt quite honored for two reasons, we had been selected to sing for the Music Group of the Western Pennsylvania Education Association at Schenley High -School, and, we were to broad' cast from W. C. A. E. The Ambridge High School orchestra was the only other school in the county who also had the honor of attending. After much fun, noise, songs, cheers, and gossip, we arrived in Pittsburgh. We raced up steps, through alleys and finally boarded a Toonerville Trolley, which took us to the school. Having uprimped up a bit, we were ready for our appearance. We sang several selections which were received with an outburst of applause. We then hurried again, rushed to the waiting taxis which took us to the broad' casting station. The girls wanted to ride alone, but of course those boys just wouldn't have it-so girls and fellows mixed--and we all managed in three cabs. And how we raced each other on the boulevard! just ask any chorus member. Shortly after coming on the air with Cousin Lora and Uncle Gimbie, they very graciously announced us, and then we broadcasted. We gave three cheers, led by Sarah Berry, that good old locomotive and a cheer for the Gimbie Family. We stayed for a part of the program,and didn't want to leave after seeing such lovemaking, Oh, as Uncle Gimbie and Cousin Lora do. Miss Snyder then took us to Kaufman's where she had reserved a private dining' room for us. Here we met Mr. Read who had secured our opportunity to sing at W. C. A. E. We expressed our appreciation by a hearty song to him. Having eaten a wonderful dinner and sung many pep songs, we started for the station as we were in a hurry to return for the football game with Rochester in the afternoon. With pockets stuffed with candy, peanuts, popcorn, and lollyfpops, we again boarded the train for New Brighton after having cheered ourselves hoarse, we arrived safely home a gay, young, happy bunch. Itwasaday! wk as as ae THE SOPHOMORE PARTY The dawn of November twentyfthird found almost every Sophomore in N. B. H. S. hustling about with a nervous air. This was the day of our party, which was held in the Junior High. At eight o'clock the guests began to arrive. By eightfthirty the party was well under way. Each guest went through the same handfshaking experience that the President of the United States usually does, via the reception line. The menu Qthis being the programj was well carried out. Each game or contest was given the name of some course on a Thanksgiving dinner. It consisted of every good thing to eat, among which were turkey, fruit salad, mashed potatoes-- If I continue to name them your mouth will water. The games were enjoyed by everyone including Mr. Wiley. During one game, about eleven o'clock, we heard the cry, Eats, come and get them! At this call every' one rushed for his share. They surely were good, too. Because I sympathize with you, dear reader, I will not attempt describing them. At elevenfthirty the guests began to depart, leaving the hall for the janitor to clean up. Each Sophomore reported to the committee a very good time, and thanked Miss Lytle, our faithful advisor, for her work and worries in making our party a success. . , .., H. . ,.,,.,..,. .. ....,,,,..,.........,a..J.--, .,.i.a,...J.r. .. -v .. -..H-. ..,.,4k fPage One Hundred Twentyfhvej 'r' 1,7 . ,VU 5-eff ' ' E , .g....,.w-xi...

BBHER STEP'HUSBAND', At last the Junior class has been given a chance to reveal its hidden talent in a play This is the story of a certain Mrs. Mary Marshall who assumes many airs to fool her Aunt Emmy and her cousin, Florence Ainslee, who come to visit her. Mary turns her husband into a butler and then engages a stranger to act as her husband. Mary's girl friend, Sylvia Allen, helps her out by bringing over practically all of her furniture and other things. Mary engages a maid, Stella, who throws you into fits of laughter by her Hard finish. Of course there has to be a crook so Limpy Lannigan is introduced, and since there is a crook, then Ofhcer Shea has to be supplied to arrest Lannigan. You will all be anxious to know that Mary Ellen Goene is playing the part of Mrs. Marshall and that Betty Townsend is her aunt. Harvey P. Marshall, Mary's husband, is our class president, Kenneth Kester. Florence Ainslee, Mary's cousin, is Sarah Berry. Gerald Niles, the stepfhusband is Robert Steward. Sylvia Allen, Mary's girl friend, is Miriam Lindsey. Then therefs Lawrence Murphy as the ex' convict, Limpy Lannagan, and Eli Soodik as Officer Shea. Stella, the hardfboiled maid, is played by Belva Douthett. Pk :ze is wk THE WHITE PROPERTY The students of New Brighton High School have enjoyed for the first time, this year, the advantage of a separate building for extrafcurricular activities. This building was purchased a year ago by the New Brighton School District for the purpose of meeting the needs of our rapidly growing school. This edifice has become known to us as the library, and it is a beautiful addition to our fine school plant. The ground adjoining this building is now being prepared for the erection of the Dawes Memorial Gymnasium which will be available for the students of New Brighton next year. The citizens of New Brighton have made an investment here which will pay dividends for years to come. ae an ak as FOOTEALL BANQUET In December of nineteen twentyfeight, a banquet was held in the High School Building in honor of our football team. The Domestic Science department under the supervision of Miss Koontz had charge of serving a most delicious dinner. The room was beautifully decorated in crimson and gold. After dinner some very good speeches were enjoyed. Mr. S. W. Lyons proved to be a very efficient toastmaster. Mr. Heider and Mr. Gibson gave talks on sports- manship. Also Mr. Garver of Beaver, who is a personal friend of Mr. Dawes, Mr. Creighton of Beaver Falls, and Ralph Dyson, our captain, spoke to us. The election of the football captain followed. The letter men retired to another room and chose Eli Soodik as leader of next year's team. Music was furnished by Miss Helen Douglass, Mr. Phillips, and Donald Wilson FK Pk ek FIG THE AUDUBON SOCIETY We, the Biology class of 1929, claim the honor of having started the first Audubon Society in New Brighton High School. Our aim is to learn about and protect all wild birds. In spite of the dues of ten cents, seventyffour members have enrolled. You know us by a bright button on which is a picture of a scarlet tanager. We also have a year's subscription to the BirdfLore, a fascinating magazine. .a . 1 .,-.r., , , , . , .. , ,, ,.N.,..n.i., E ,..........,..........4 fPage One Hundred Twentyfsixl ALLfScoTcH FOOTBALL GAME A very interesting event much appreciated by the sport fans of the city of New Brighton occurred here Saturday afternoon, September 23, 1950. An allfScotch team from New Brighton met an allfjewish team from Beaver Falls in a game of football. The strange part of this game was that both coaches were women and the teams were composed of both sexes. The score was 0fO since both sides held the ball so tightly that neither team could advance beyond the middle of the field. Coach McHeineman coached the Scottish team, and Coach Curreski, the jewish.

Rope jumping is considered a very good form of exercise and is used as a conditioning exercise for athletes. The value of rope jumping as a conditioning exercise is particularly significant in producing a nimbleness of foot that can be secured in no other way. Suppleness, strength and endurance of the legs are all developed by this exercise. The students entered into this contest with a lot of pep and enthusiasm and a marked improvement was shown in the records from week to week. Some very good marks were made in the onefhalf minute period allotted to each student. P14 vii Pk Pk CAST PARTY About two weeks after the successful production of the first Senior class play The Lucky Break, the cast and committee of this play decided to celebrate by having a party at the home of Eddie McGuire, on Fifth street. By nine o'clock every one had arrived and proceeded to make Whoopee. Each did as he liked. Our illustrious coach, Miss Hamilton, entertained us by reading our palms, and carrying us into the everfillusive and fascinating future. Some of the boys found a bag of marbles and tried to see who could skink the most. At an earlyf?l hour a delicious lunch was served, and shortly after we wended our ways home. fPage One Hundred Twcntyfsevenzl l - bs- A fffii-A ffirnzlmmxe XT-are ' f A it FOOTBALL FEEDS During the iirst half of the school year it was the pleasure of the football team and aides to participate in several feasts given by different members of this group. The first of this series was given by Ditty Herrington, whose mother initiated several of the boys into the delights of cornedfbeef and cabbage. Next was the supper given by Gob Kester whose mother illustrated her skill in making hot biscuits and creamed chicken. During the course of the meal, we were entertained by Coach Gibson who illustrated his skill as a quoit pitcher, when he gently plopped a biscuit in Poe Circle's gravy. Then came Abie Soodik's feast. Mrs. Soodik, with the aid of relatives, demon' strated that she is most adept in the art of cooking chicken. During the course of the meal an eating contest was begun which, much to the surprise of several, was won by the diminutive lad, Zeigle. Last was the feed given by Firpo Dyson, whose mother made a hit with her sandwiches and hot mustard. The mints and peanuts seemed to vanish as soon as they were placed on the table. As usual, Jimmy Shingleton was the last to arrive and the last to leave. These suppers tended to create a feeling of equality which is needed in all team work. May next year see another such series. ar as as as iiALAURUM,' STAFF PARTY The Alaurum staff party given by Miss Betty Heineman was a huge success, with a capital H. The party might be compared to a gypsy trail. We proceeded from one thing to another like the gypsies, who do so many different things. There were six tables, each with some different task to perform, some hard, some easy. Some of the things were putting large potatoes into a pan with the aid of a teaspoon, threading needles and tying a knot between each two, writing poetry, and putting puzzles together. After this brainfracking adventure we decided to edit a newspaper. We had a social column, book reviews, personals, athletics, and other departments common to every upftofdate newspaper. We read the different parts of The Evening Snooze while we partook of the delightful lunch served by our hostess. :ie an ae as BIG FIRE DowNTowN At 4:10 o'clock on the evening of January 17, a fire broke out in the only store in town. This store, owned by Benny Ketchum, was known all over the valley as Ketchum's General Store. The building being frame and old, it burned to the ground. In the prosperous days of this town, the building was occupied by Burkhardt's. The loss amounted to about 33,000 This included the building, the entire stock. It is believed that the loss was entirely covered by insurance, as Ketchum is of Scotch ancestry, and his uncle, old Abner, is remembered as the tightest man in Western Pennsylvania. Benny is known all over the valley as superfsalesman. He took corresf pondence courses in salesmanship, and has his degree. After the fire he was so over' come by the loss that they had to take him to jail and put him in a strait jacket to keep him from jumping around. During the night he almost drowned in his own tears. His clerk, who by the way, is Miss Evelyn Anderson, was so delighted by the news of the fire that she went into hysterics. The fire was fought by the Brighton fire ladies, namely, Captain Bermon and the bucket brigade, under the supervision of Leroy Kaufman. I shall have to stop writing as the only candle in the building has burnt out. -The Evening Snooze ' xxx f-AX.. - . F .. . A Xl.

While we went to school everyone knew when they saw Ord leave home that they had about time enough to draw their breath before the bell rang. He usually had to go back home for his books, and his breakfast! Graduation is a good thing for the Senior girls. Girls from the lower classes are eternally complaining because Senior boys eat all the candy they bring for peace offer- ings. Ask Alice Gore! Abie is no longer a Freshman but he still wears lots of green. Lamp the hat, shirt, tie and socks. How does it happen that sleep and school both mean the same thing to Bill Gordon? How does it come if the Freshmen are so young and innocent that they can snore lounder than anyone else in the study hall? We wonder if some of our girls could get along without a boy friend? they can't seem to get along with one. What will such dashing young gallants as Leroy Kaufman and Darwin Iden do without the Sophomore and Junior girls to talk to in the halls? as :rf wk an We are beginning to wonder if Santa Claus isn't the most partial person in the world. He brought only one Senior girl a diamond ring. But I guess if he gave a diamond to more than one girl it would be polygamy! Now really wouldn't you consider this an insult? Mr. McNitt asked a Freshman if he thought the aisle was a canal just because his feet resembled canal barges. That's very discouraging. If that Freshman's feet are as large as canal boats now, what will they be when he's a Senior? Some of our very peppy Sophomore girls want to know why they varnished the bannisters if they didn't want us to slide down.

We wonder if the girl friends are gold diggers! Evelyn Shelar and Fredericka Wolf insisted upon proving that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach, so they treated the Senior English class to cake. Our captain Fair suggested that the next time they serve icefcream and pie! Mary Ellen Zink as a debator is all wet. Ask the waitress! The least thing that Mr. Heider can do is to get us a contract with the Zieglielcl Follies after all the exercises he puts us through, which only reminds us that Mr. Heider probably likes musical comedies and vaudeville. Pk Bk PF HK Memoirs ol a Senior ONE DAY AT SCHOOL USHING down Eleventh Ave., about 8:05 I encountered Bobby Steinfeld and Harold Fair playfully tossing snowfballs at each other. When I arrived at the building known as the High School, about 8:15, I noticed several students strolling into the building. Mr. McNitt was standing guard in his customary posture in the doorway of room 3. Clancing out of the window about 8:19 I beheld Ord Blackledge and Ed. McGuire hurrying to school. As the sidewalks and streets were covered with ice, they were experiencing some difficulty in maintaining their balance. After we had been reprimanded three or four times for talking, the bell rang and we marched to chapel two by two, while Pauline Lutz played Constantinople We sang Faith of our Fathers as usual even though there wasn't a minister there. Mr. Wiley conducted the devotional exercises and announced those who were to report to the office. Then the cheer leaders led us in the Siren, that being the only one the Freshmen can remember: and we sang Booster with Mr. Phillips leading. The second period the Senior English class met with the Dignified President William Gordon presiding and the equally dignified secretary at the desk. In Chemistry class Mr. Hazlett told us there wasn't anyone so dumb that couldn't remember an answer after having been told it twentyfive times. Well, we're not dumb -but we don't remember the answer. At 11:45 everyone began to watch the clock until time to go home. In Virgil Class we got Aeneas safely out of Burning Troy carrying his father and the Household God but that was as far as anyone translated. During Problems in American Democracy, Mr. Corkan laboriously attempted to convince us why we must pay out some of our perfectly good, hardfearned money as taxes to the government. In Algebra Class Mr. Gibson asked us to leave our chewing gum outside the room. He said we might leave it on the door frame but advised us to leave a slip of paper on it so that we would be sure to get our own. I must not omit the study halls. Chewing prevailed, books and erasers sailed swiftly through the air and notes passed from hand to hand Knot promissory notes, guiiing all this disturbance, Calvin Rosenmund and James Shingleton calmly took their ai y naps. At 4:00 the bell rang for dismissal. Everyone rushed from the building except those poor unfortunates who were detained because of scholastic deficiences, hockey, or various other reasons. -Inez Barkley fPage One Hundred Thirtyjl A Studentys Proposed Speech On Conciliation EAR SIR fimplying the principalj: as you have more than likely heard the story of the disagreement from the plaintiff fa teacher, I will endeavor to put before you my proposed idea of a good settlement. I have put much deep thought on this question and believe that I have prepared a plan that is very excellent. I will also try to prove to you by practical examples, all of my statements. Much time and study should be put on such an important case as this, not having slept all night for thinking about it. After a very few seconds of deep thought I concluded that no matter where, when, how, why, or what school attended a student should always have his constitutional rights. When our honorable ancestors constructed the Bill of Rights for the constitution, they did not go to all that trouble for the bootleggers, loafers, politicians, taxpayers and teachers alone, but also to help the students. I hold that it was a grave oversight on the part of our ancestors, though, not to have added a clause giving the students the right to sleep, when necessary, talk, and chew gum. Although there have been numerous attempts at adding an amendment to the constitution to that effect, so far nothing definite has been done. I believe that in the near future this will eventually come but you must remember that permanent reform is a slow process. This is at least one consolation. Therefore, because of this great oversight of our ancestors we must get along as best we can. As you have noticed, many students have left our rank in the last year. What caused this? I will tell you, it was caused by the student and teacher not being able to come to a good agreement in a dispute. Usually when a student leaves school before graduation he must go to work and because of his youth he smokes much tobacco to hold up under this strain. Therefore logically, we see that the tobacco companies are our greatest opposition toward this new amendment. To come to a good agreement it is not wise to have the weaker power make concessions, but you should have the stronger power do so. If you do not believe my statement on this, I refer you to Burke's Speech on Conciliation. The next logical point then is what the stronger power should concede. That is not hard to answer. Ask any student, he will tell you that he will be satisfied if he is given the right to chew gum, talk and sleep when necessary. If the plaintiff will not concede these things I honestly believe that a good settlement will never be made. To return to facts the teacher will profit in the end by this plan. For example if a student chews gum you can tell whether he is awake or not. It also keeps his teeth healthy and he is therefore better able to talk. If he sleeps he rests his mind and when thoroughly awakened he has a clear mind, sound teeth, and a good line. Are these not helpful to the teacher? Therefore I propose that the plaintiff concede the right to chew gum, talk and sleep when necessary in order to make a good settlement.

We will now present to you the first of the New York programs, please stand by. Good evening, everyone, this is the National Broadcasting Co., we will turn you over to our announcer Mr. Philip Carlinjwho is at New Brighton. Hello everybody, we will give you, the linefup for todays historical battle. It appears that Fallston pupils have been refuifed admission to the New Brighton Schools, and therefore they have mobilized troops tar attack New Brighton, who have likewise mobilized troops for the defense of the town. Everything is in good shape for the battle and generals of both sides are conident of a victory, so let's hope for a good fight. My friend, Joe Humphrey, who is next to me, will give you the ight blow by blow, and shot by shot. The Rev. james Mansell of New Brighton roused the home patriotism by his stirring speech on The Evils of Seccessionf' Mr. Mansell's words still ring in the minds of many New Brighton patriots, Shall we, members of this beautiful community, fall at the hands of these Fallston rat, no, no! The time is nearly here, only a matter of minutes, the armies are now getting lined up for the fight. Yes it looks as if General Dyson will be in the lineup, rumors were going around that he was undecided for today's fray, due to being busy at the plumbing shop. Yes, again I am right, General Leo Murphy will command the Fallston boys. He earned the title of Leo the LionfHearted in a previous fight with Patterson Heights Township. Naval activities on the Beaver River will be in charge of Captain Rarick of New Brighton and Captain Scott of Fallston. New Brighton's waterboy is Fred Ripper, while Falls' ton's is Bill Koble. The newspaper men, Mr. Steinfeld of the Spirit and others are now drawing to the place of meeting, namely, Fallston Bridge. Spectators are lined up on the railroad tracks cheering, I will let you hear them. Rah! Rah! sis boom bah! Beat Fallstonf' All is now ready-the judges are here so I will turn you over to Mr. Joe Humphrey for the fight. Mr. Joe Humphrey. at Hello everybody, Oh! how I wish you all were here to see the sights. General Dyson is at the head of his men, the judges gun has started them off, Fallston shoots the Hrst rally of bullets, no one is hit but things look mighty hot down there. Hello, what's this the Fallston boys have? It's a big gun on wheels, invented by Professor Florick. They are about to shoot at the enemy, listen, Bang! The cannon ball did not reach this end of the bridge, but most of General Murphy's men are knocked down by the backward rush of the cannon. They must have forgotten to put the brakes on. A last desperate rush on the New Brighton troops is made. The New Brighton boys are asking their General what to do-they come out of the huddle, ire their guns, and as the clouds of smoke clear we see the Fallston boys on the retreat, yes, the Brighton boys are retreating too. What is the matter? What's that? Oh! excuse me ladies and gentlemen, they all heard the twelve o'clock whistle sound. I guess dinner is served. Mr. Philip Carlin will now speak to you. This wonderful battle is coming to you through the courtesy of the National Broadcasting Company and Associated Stations. Well, it looks as if both groups are evenly matched, so let's hope the best team wins. No one was hit by the bullets that time. The only accident was when Leo the LionfHearted fired at Iron Man Dyson, and missed him. He killed a sparrow who was innocently watching the battle from his perch in a chestnut tree. What's that, oh, it's an airplane. We will now resume broadcasting from the air. The airplane is about to take us to another part of the battle field. We are now over the second battlefield, located at the Old Sharon Bridge. Captain Rosenmund is in charge of the Brighton forces, and Leo the Lion- rf 3 I Af ' ,.

Rosenmund advances, so does Murphy, they clash at the middle of the bridge, a cloud of smoke arises. What can it be, oh! the bridge is on fire. The men iight with their hands. Rosenmund is downed by Murphy, the waterboys put the fire out, the fight is resumed. Rosenmund retreats, yes, he is not a coward because he is rereating. He has just found out it is time to go home and milk the cows. We now return you to the Fallston bridge from where we see the two enemy boats oppose each other. Steam and smoke burst forth from smokefstacks, steam is up, whistles blow, they approach each other amid the loud cheers of the crowds on the railroad tracks. Captain Rarick and first mate Gordon get the crew in good shape and are joined by Commander in Chief of Marion Hill's navy, who has sailed down Block' House Run to help the New Brighton navy. He is none other than Mr. Melvin Yard. Scott has his crew well prepared and is helped by West Bridgewater's illustrious fleet. They clash. No doubt you radio fans will hear the guns as they bark oute- none so far have hit anything. We have just received a Radiogram from Scott's ship, the Excelsior, to say that Ralph Trout is its first mate. He has turned traitor to the home town. A cloud of smoke appears. As it clears we see Yard and the crew of the Golden Oak swimming to shore. Yard would have been killed by Leo the Lion' Hearted's gun except that Leo's gun shook just as he fired and the second sparrow of the day is killedw-another notch in Leo's Gun. Rarick's ship the Muskrat is still in the fray. They hit each other. Rarick and company board Scott's ship. The men are in a clinch-no, no, they are dancing, what does this mean? They start fighting again. First mate Gordon throws Scott to the fishes, and Rarick feeds the rope to the rest of the crew except to Trout, who is put in irons by Gordon, to await trial by Judge Shields for treason. The nurses, Misses Mary Morgan, Rebecca Weeber, Inez Barkley, Velma Householder, and others are busy picking up the dead and wounded who lic around. Among them are Jim Sparrow, john Sparrow, Harry Sparrow, Frank Sparrow, Fred Sparrow and other members of the illustrious sparrow family. Well it looks as if the war is over for Leo the LionfHearted is now praying for forgiveness, saying the officials of Fallston's government are responsible for the war. Frank Scott has reached shore and asks for peace. The judges decide nothing to nothing in favor of New Brighton so the war is over. fMr. Philip Carlin will now give you the high' lights of the battle. It looks like a nice ending for such a battle, I see the sun setting in the West with the beautiful roses in the garden of Mr. Ziegle on the Alum Rocks making a picture never to be forgotten. Mr. Ziegle stayed neutral as business was very good. We have word from the hospital that all but john Sparrow are dead. John declared that he will get even with Mr. Murphy for shooting him, by eating all the grassfseed on his lawn. In the distance we hear New Brighton ringing the bell in the old Central Building, givf ing everyone the news of the victory. joe and I are now by ourselves. It is getting dark so we will now turn you over to the New York Station who in turn will turn you over to your local station. This is the National Broadcasting Company at New York, please stand by for Station announcements. This is station KDKA of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company at Pittsburgh the pioneer broadcasting station of the world.
