Steele, Assistant Principal of our Alma Mater, and for many years head of the commercial department, this volume is affect- ionately dedicated. This dedication is prompted not only by the respect and admiration, but by the true friendship and affection of the students of P.H. S. for our big-hearted Daddy Steele.

THE RED AND WHITE ARKERSBURG HIGH SCHOOL is not a school of spontaneous growth, but like all glorious achievements it is the result of hard earned experiences and a period of struggle, the mastering of A situations, and the surmounting of opposing factors. Its in- cipiency is the direct result of the concentrated efforts of a group of splendidly intellectual men and Women, such as Ella, Flagg, Mr. R. H. Rice, Mr. Cox, and others Who, Way back in the isle of time, let us say about 1874, visualized the -necessity of higher education, the dominating force in present day life, and established the first Parkers- burg High School. For it was in this year that the State Legislature granted us the privilege of graduating students. , The high schol of today upon which so many speculative eyes are fixed is unmistakably the produce of a series of events and circum- stances arising Within the last fifty years. Parkersburg High School can only be appreciated after a rigid investigation of these particular oc- currences Which have served to mold it. My caravan of thoughts carries me along through the period of years to the intellectual oasis of 1926. Radical changes occurring during the space of fifty years are strikingly illustrated in the progress made in the last decade. A record discloses the fact that in every branch of activity highest levels were reached. The football team, always considered a sport cornerstone in every high school and collegiate circle, has produced such celebrities as: Joe Lidder- dale, Gilbert Welch, Pete Barnum, the Murrin Trio, McHenry, Hoben- sack, and various others Whose names are known to every football en- thusiast in the state. Yet, in looking over the school record, We find that until 1916 football was not placed on a sound basis and played no prominent part in the school life of Parkersburg High School. But Parkersburg now boasts a real athletic' significance and has erected a stadium Where all games can be witnessed in comfort and pleasure, a stadium which is symbolic of the splendid aggressiveness of our high school. Music is indispensable and has made its entrance as a permanent art, is one of the splendid mediums of intellectual advancement no phase being neglected. It is surprising to find that music had no place in the curriculum of the high school in the early years of P.H.S. We now have a band, one of the most complete organizations which is recognized as one of the best in the state. The orchestra bids fair to surpass any like organization in the state, having developed a taste for the most artistic and classical numbers. Their programs are an anticipated pleasure for the music lovers of the city. The Marcato Club has sung its Way into the hearts of the most discriminating audiences with interest in nothing but the highest type of music. Dramatics have not been overlooked, but such credible offerings as Polly With A Past, Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Be An Optimist, and l 'M Args?-di - ff! H. -4 fi? M, It Happened in June, have discovered talent which will again be heard of in various colleges. Last but not least is debating. This ac- tivity which has brought P.H.S. great honors is still in its infancy, but is now walking and talking, to the satisfaction of all has made a credible showing in all her interscholastic debates. Harvard, Columbia, Ann Arbor, and Cornell may yet boast of their proteges from P.H.S. I could go on and on speaking of the different phases, but I shall leave to the Parhiscan, whose christening has been one of the most recent events of the school, the task of exonerating each duty and achievement. Our school boasts one of the finest mediums of enlightenment in iVest Vir- ginia, and it has assembled the best talent available in our school in order that it may chronicle the events of each year in a most interesting and pleasing manner for the readers. True it has been very charitable, and in years to come we shall read where our acts of indiscretion were not recorded, but we masqueraded under the caption of the beautifully sublime, thanks to the Parhiscan staff, whose thoughtfulness shall ever remain a blessed memory. Comparison of the past and present will convince the taxpayer that he is receiving a real intellectual compensation for the maintenance of our high school. A survey will show that P.H.S. of yesterday taught such subjects as Latin, Literature, German, Algebra, and English Com- position. Students were not given the privilege of choosing electives, in fact there were so few subjects taught that there was no field of choice. But diversification is the slogan of our high school today, the curriculums are made up of a wide field of subjects, and it is not only the college bound student who finds his desired courses here, but the commercial student, the normal student, and the boy and girl who likes to do things with their hands. So today the student of the high school enjoys the splendid social and cultural side of life whi.ch gives him a prestige in his community, yet at the same time developing his intellectual life. Clubs of every description have a place, and these rob the daily routine of its monotony, stimulate interest, and awaken undiscovered tendencies. Parkersburg High School is symbolic of true greatness, creating idealists out of each student who believes in hitching ,his wagon to a star, and that the accomplishment of the altogether great is not beyond him, and to encourage him in his pursuits, our predecessors established a wonderful institution, standing aloof in its dignified beauty, surround- ed by a wonderful campus. There is about it a certain atmosphere, a majestic grace, which calls forth the best in each student. When he enters her portals he is no longer an individual, but a part of that in- stitution itself. It is in this school that genuine democracy is fostered within each boy and girl, and each meet on a common level for one common good. .

Odgers To the members of the .Tune Class of 1926: - During the years of my early manhood, I chanced upon three quotations which have influenced my life very greatly. I realized that I have fallen short in living up to the ideals therein emphasized, but there is some satisfaction in the thought that no mortal ever overcomes his ideals. The quotations are as follows: Where there is no vision the people nerishf, Be strong! We are not here to plav. to dream, to drift. We have hard work to do and loads to lift, Shun not the struggle, face it, 'tis God's gift, Be strong! Scatter your flowers as you go, you will never travel this road again. Never has there been any accomplishment that did not Hnd its creation first in a highly imaginative mind. To you, therefore, as you face life's realities I commend these words of great truth. Be not blind to the fact that the world needs at this time, men and women of abundant vision. To me the world is just entering upon an era of profound changes in its economic and social make-up. Upon the visions, there- fore, of the young men and young women of your generation will depend in a large degree the civilization of the future. You are fortunate in being born at a time when you can participate in these momentous changes. Above all things, therefore, I crave that you will be abundant in vision when meeting the problems that necessarily will confront you in the part you will play in the life about you. You are to be cautioned, however, as to the possibility of permitting your visions to degenerate into mere visionary dreams. To protect you from this great danger, I commend to you the thought of the second quotation. May you enter upon your activities with a willingness to do hard work, devoting the energy of your entire life to the service of humankind. Avoid idle dreaming and mere drifting by dedicating your life to sacrificial work. Life is full of joy to the one who learns the secret of scatering sunshine along the way of life. Greet your fellowmen at all times, everywhere, with cheering words, beaconing smiles, and scatter deeds of kindness as you go. May you have abundant health at all times to pursue successfully the highest ideals of right living. ji gi 2 X X MR. H. W. PIGGOTT, Principal Harold VV. Piggott was born in Tygart District, VVood County.' His connection with the Parkersburg schools began when he entered the sixth grade of the Willard School-this is the school now known as the Nash. He completed the high school course and was graduated in 1912 with high honors. a coveted reward then, as now, one not. conferred but earned by hard work. Ambitious and aggressive, his high school education acted as a stimulus to further effort and he pursued his higher studies at West Virginia University and at Columbia. He began his career as an educator by teaching one year in Grafton. Then he assumed the difficult position of Principal at Williamstown. Rising steadily, he be- came Superintendent of the Williamstown and lfVilliams District Schools, then Principal of Grafton High School. In 1922 he returned to his home city as Principal of the Junior High, while 1923 found him established at the head of P.H.S., where for the past three years, he has successfully directed its affairs. Mr. Pi,fzgott's interests have not been conlined to the several localities in which he has been engaged, but have spread over the entire state. For several years he was a member of the State Board of Appeals of the State High School Athletic Association, first as Secretary-Treasurer, then as President. Also, he has the very great honor of being one of the organizers of the West Virginia High School Prin- cipal Association, one of the most progressive bodies in the state. In this brief resume of H. W. Piggott, we can easily predict a wonderful future for one so capable, who links his ability with a splendid personality. As has been said, Honor to whom honor is due, and who is more deserving than the head of our school-Harold W. Piggott. i' K7 , f If f if , U FACULTY L N X 'i Q- GE.

MISS BONNIE E.lKERR Senior Class Sponsor Miss Kerr is a graduate of P. H. S., she received her A.B. de- gree from Marietta College, her M.A. in the French School of Middlebury College. For some years Miss Kerr has sponsored the affairs of the Senior Classes. Only those who have been intimately connected with this work have any idea what a task this is. In compensation for the direction of meetings, plan- ning of parties, distribution of a thousand and one minor necessi- ties, you find printed on some- thing , way down in the corner somewhere', the name, Miss Kerr, Senior Class Sponsor. We, the May Class of '26, wish- ing to contribute a mite of the compensation due her, do there- fore oHer our sincere thanks and gratitude to her. MISS SARA R. SMITH Advisor to the Parischan Staf Miss Smith is also a graduate of our own Alma Mater. She se- cured her A.B. degree at Ran- dolph Macon Womans' College, and her M.A. at Columbia lniver- sity. This is only Miss Smitl1's second semester at the helm of the Par- hischan, but. its development stands as impregnable proof of her capability. Success of this sort is to be expected, because Miss Smith believes in putting heart and soul into the undertaking and rightly expects those working with her to do the same. It is fitting therefore, that the May '26 Senior Class take this opportunity to acknowledge its obligation to Miss Smith and proffer to her its hearty thanks. 11. 4 f- Z!! l , Z , X, Arriving near to our goal, the trail's end i JP ij' ff l fi' F3-il - M Yet at the trail's end We only finish to begin Remember ending one trail four years ago That trail completing our grammar school. Yes, 'tis true, most of us, as a usual rule, Thought we had about reached the end, No! Fo ryet on that course to travel, just so, Was over the trail of trails P.H.S. to go. Remember how proud we were the first day We entered school as a class of freshmen. No doubt to the disgust of upperclassmen Was our entering on that memorable day. As tempore fied we learned what to say- X X X x xy And as freshmen we had our part to play. Sophisticated sophomores, proudly said We When We were no longer known as freshies. Gee, but to us that brings many memories Of that part of the trail called sophie No more. no more would we travel like a freshie- But as sophomores with assuming dignity. Traversing on that trail we came in time To that part known as fearless juniors. This trail was strife with stern seniors, But to them we gave a banquet most line We, as the host, our guest came to dine- i And merry was that evening in springtime. Xl X . In this part, seniors, we yet do contend 5 We seniors have only finished to begin. N All our faulty steps may we partly amend With the gift of love we hereby extend- To the school, the teachers, our friend. On another trail, the trail of our future Perchance now and then We'll meet again, And somehow or other we shall feel akin.

N MY WONDERINGS the other day I chanced upon a group of high school students. They were talking and seemed very much excited over a certain ,i event about to take place. This scene immediately brought back to me memories of my school days and the dear old class of '26. Oh! those were the happy days. ' We entered that great institution known as P. H. S. on a lovely September morning. We came into it having the honor of being the largest fand, of course, we thought the bestj class ever to enter those doors and we certainly did feel proud until we arrived in the auditorium and were surrounded by that large mob fl say mob, because thats the way we small, green, creatures felt? of upper classmen, all of whom were making sly remarks about us. At last we were settled and could go about the building without. getting lost. We then began to take stock of the other classes. The Sophomores who continued to guy us and compare our complexions to the color of grass earned our ever-lasting hatred, the Seniors, in our secret hearts, we held as superior beings and thought and worked for the time when we should obtain that position. It was in this year that our athletics made such a fine showing under the supervision of Coach Thomas. Then came our first freak day to which we had been looking forward for quite awhile, and we counted the times we would witness the others before our turn would come. When the second semester' began we breathed a little more freely and sometimes the braver members of our class gave a little advice to those that had just entered. The first year passed and having shared the bitter with 'the sweet we found ourselves on another such morning as the first seated in the auditorium as Sopho- mores. We had the big head somewhat when we saw those small green and insig- nificant children coming in but our flightiness was soon brought to earth when the Juniors flast years despised Sophomoresb began to call us Softies. Nothing much happened this year' except the changing of principals. With all our hating to loose Mr. Stewart, Mr. Piggott soon endeared himself to us by the manner in which he cooperated with us and his fair dealings along every line. jr , 'gf if lui- ' A 1 jf -T, ,, Before we could realize it the year had come to a close and we found our- selves Juniors. And now may be we didnit have a pleasing sensation when we at last found ourselves upper classmen even if we were only the lower half of the upper classmen no one could deny that. Then we began to look forward to the Junior II semester when things would really begin to happen. But first I mustn't forget our class election and how all puffed we were when Mr. Pig- gott told, us that being such a large class we should organize. We didn't do much but it was just the idea of being allowed to organize the same as the other three classes. Finally came the 'time to prepare for the Jr. Sr. Banquet. We said it would be the best ever and of course it was because we had the capable assistance of Miss Sarah Smith. That alone tells those who know her why it was a success. Of course, I musn't forget 'the hard work of the officers and committees and the wonderful help of Mr. Patton in planning and supervising the decorating. Ah! at last we found ourselves on the home stretch or should I say we had reached the lofty heights of Seniors. It sure was great to know there was only one group above us and that we would soon have them out of the way. First came the election of officers and the sponsor Miss Daisy Waller' who guided us so ably. Then in January came the Tea given by the Sr. I girls for the girls in the Sr. Il class. This proved a wonderful success fas of course everything else did that we und-ertookJ It was given at the home of Miss Anita Prunty on Wash- ington Boulevard. Presiding at the Urn was Miss Bonnie Kerr Sponsor of the Sr. II Class, ' Arrived, at last, and if ever there was a feeling of walking on air we certainly had it as we Walked down the aisle and took our places in the front seats so recently vacated by the January Class '26, This semester was the busiest and most wonderful part of our school career. Being a large class and there being no room large enough to hold us all it was arranged that we should meet in the auditorium three times a week. Many of us wondered what we could possibly have to do to take up so much time. We were soon to find out. After the election was over we found ourselves headed by the best looking boy in high school, Jack Holden. There were many committees to be appointedg this done things began to get along nicely. Then came the time for our pictures to be taken. After this work on the annual began, which fto quote those gone before usb is the biggest and best ever. And then-shall I ever forget it-came the wonderful skating party which was held in the gym. A splendid time was had by all, aside from falling down some and up setting the lemonade every-thing went along smoothly. After this came the class picnic which took place at Masonic Park just above Marietta. If the skating party Was a success the picnic was more than a success. Goodness! time was flying fast and before we realized it comenncement week arrived bringing with it the Junior Senior Banquet of which this time we found ourselves the guests, then class day, and last, but not least, because it was the greatest event of all, commencement night. How glad, yet how sad we were when we received the parchments which ushered us out of those dear old doors into the seething' sea of life. Thus ended the happiest and best stage of our lives.

' 1749 F 'J V1 K,,'E?Zf , X I Fellow Students, Members of the Faculty, Ladies and Gentlemen: This auspicious occasion brings us together collectively as a class with the stu- dent body and faculty perhaps for the last time. It completes four years of service, each year denotes a cornerstone of our life's foundation. This is but the beginning which is conducive to further intellectual effort. This the supreme moment in the life of every boy and girl of the Senior Class of '26. We have reached at last that goal towards which we have been striving, hoping, and working for the past four years. And at last we stand on the horizon of a new world, a new life with only the lamp of very little experience to guide us. Human experience, like the stern lights of a ship at sea, illumines only the path which we have passed over, the future is veiled, it remains for us individually to pick up the thread of Destiny and follow it to the end. Today we pass from the hands of kind and gentle masters into the hands of a sterner and more severe master, that of Life. The pendulum of time swings back and forth and each moment is given to us for the accomplishment of something worthwhile, real service, and for the expression of our own individuality of thought and action towards some special goal. Since time is the raw material of life we must know how to mold and handle our hours in accordance with our ends. The Potter of France, eulogized by Jean Aicard in his story The Vase of Clay, who strived day after day and hour after hour to give to the world the most beautiful vase failed, and why? Because the various clays with which he worked refused to respond to his hand. True it has been with some of us, we have been under the direction and guidance of a most sincere! and noble corps of teachers whose every effort has been expended to mould this Human Clay. In many cases the student took the beginning of the greatest work in life, that of mastering his intellectual situation, too lightly. It is in this school that the 'tHuman Clayv of life's most beautiful vase has its inception. The skillful potter knows that in order to attain the best results he must have varied clays. One kind gives the elasticity, another acts as a cohesive agency, another gives that most needed element, Strength. The three combine to make a responsive clay which yields perfectly to the touch of the potter. Pathetic indeed that we as poor clay should be cast aside as failures in making up the ,47' C ff! 7' . . 51? ,fag proper consistency for the potter's mould. For it is here that the various kinds of clay are to be found. Each should have, its place in the vase to add a distinctive touch to the finished product, for each one of us is a distinct wee bit of clay. But fellow classmates if we have been found in the discarded heap of the potter's clay and if we have been the direct destroying agency in so many attempts to use us in this beautiful vase we can blame no one but ourselves. But the future will find us more alert and aggressive. To you the parents, I wish to say that no effort has been spared on the part of our teachers to put into Life's rarest vase, a part of your boy or girl. I know of no more fitting place for these lines: The saddest words of tongue or pen. It might have been, it might have been. We all know ere this where our Weak points have been, nor have we at all times responded to the potter's touch. But this by no means determines that We shall continue to be lifeless Human Clay. We shall benefit by our errors of the past four years and determine within ourselves to take on the various properties which will be conducive to symetry, beauty, strength and success in the coming years of competitive undertakings. We have taken inventory of our assets and find we have much to learn. We stand into Life's Programme as deficits to a certain extent because of the bigness of the programme of the World today. But the future will findevery member of the 'Class of 26 contributing to the world's. worthwhile works and shall be found on the per- sonnel of Who's Who, in order that you the taxpayers of Parkersburg may have been benefitted by your investment. Every member of this class is going to yet discover himself and perfect himself to that degree that he may give to the world a life of splendid usefulness which will contribute to that Human Clay a beauty which will endear it to the hearts of all that behold it. As a vase tried in the kiln life's hardships and trials will make this Human Clay the finer for the splendid guidance of God who through the generosity of our citizensl and teachers has made is possible for us to enjoy the glorious privileges of the finest High School in West Virginia and the United States. Every student is asking himself the question as of the modern world, what is the supreme good? Our lives are 'before us, only oncei can We live them. What is the noblest object of desire, the supreme gift to covet? If we discover wherein we may be of supreme use and then fulfill it we'shall then have struck the keynote to Life's most important task, that of service. We shall then be pleasing to God and humanity and all our works, all our efforts shall be factors in determining our worthiness of a place in the p0tter's clay. The world rolls on, circumstances vary with every hour and we have no time to lose. We must be able to cope with every situation arising in our lives in order that we may reflect our goodness morally and spiritually as well as intellectually. And the first requisite in the accomplishment of all good is Love. Love is the synonym of God, it is the ability to give assistance to others Without any expectation of reward, being absolutely unselfish, patient and sincere in our purpose and working for one common good to all mankind. Our lives move on to the command of a higher power over which we have no control. Its forces seem confused to us without cohesion, often-times antagonistic. Joy and sorrowg health and sickness, prosperity and adversity all move along in their ap- pointed paths to their appointed ends. But behind it all we see the one will, the one power, the Divine Potter, who gradully overcomes our imperfections by adding here and there a bit of clay, to render the finished product a thing of symmetry, strength and beauty. fr fir! fi? if M For every joy 'there is a sorrow, which is characteristic of everything in Life. ' One may pluck the coveted rose but in plucking the rose he also encounters the thorn. This is to remind us that attaining anything worthwhile necessitated hard and painful X experience. Our four years in P. H. S. represents the rosebud gradually developing X into the full blown rose. Graduation represents the thorn, for 'perhaps it shall be the last time the Class of 26 shall meet as a whole. We have been happily associated with the student body for four years but today our paths divide, each to pursue his own course. Destiny has so decreed that we know not what the future holds for us, for were it not so life would hold but little interest. But let us hope that the future will picture a pilgrimage of the Class of '26 returning to her Alma Mater, P. H. S., the greatest shrine of intellect, coming as portions of Human Clayn which having been tried in the kiln of life's heartached, sorrow, and untiring endeavor shall be worthy of our place in this rarest vase of Human Clay. The Human clay of life to be ' We mould in fashion all our own, And in the field of destiny, we make a vase which shall be known, By Him who is the Judge of all, A , So shall the Potter around him call, The clay which he has gathered here And moulded into the Eternal Vase, , xx' The past shall reappear. , A X A VIRGINIA SHEPPARD X X i Qi' . a ff' 4, 8,7 1 F ,iQ , R , Class Poem i I 1 ' l P'.

We have been enjoying ourselves so much during the four years we have spent here that it is with the greatest of regret that we have to waste time coming out here to these exercises this afternoon. At this time I am reminded of a little incident which took place on a bright summer day in the middle of May. The sun was beaming down on our gay institution of knowledge, it was a beautiful day, but we Seniors were all so busy on our books that we were unaware of the fact until Ronald Hale came tripping in on a light fantastic toe sweetly calling, Spring is here, Spring is here. Jack Holden was heard to say that being president of the class had completely changed his plans for the future. He doesn't know now whether he wants to run for mayor over in Belpre or buy a bicycle. VVe feel sure that due to Jack's ability as a leader he could easily master either of these tasks. Dixon Dudderar was engaged in a little serious talk with Janet Bennington the other evening and he said to her: Do you think we could get along in this world on my fortune, dear? You know my intelligence is my fortune. In reply to this Janet said: Dixon, poverty isn't a crime. William, Bud, Tuffy, Horse, Dead Eye Loue Evers said outside being the best athelte in school he can chew more chewing gum than any other bozo in town. Prac- tice makes perfect, so the the battling kid says. Myron Lowther said to Phill Mead the other night, Give me a little kiss will you, hun? And Phill said, Why no, Myron, I don t kiss men. That's all right, I'm only a boy. Ruth Livingston told Gordon Johnson the greatest thing wrong with the average sheik is that his head is usually as soft as his hands. Martha Mann recited this little poem in dramatic class the other day: These Hotsy Totsy lads are great, But when I want a running mate I'll seek no sheik of ArabY-- A big, red track man will do for me. Edgar Heermans said to Alice Wilson, I hear Jack Miller is leading man at the Lnicoln Theatre this week. Alice replied, Yes, he is the head usher there. ,fin , ff ,-Z ff g Z' fi By the way, .Tack Henson suggested a great cure for dandruff the other day. All you have to do to get rid of it is cut your head off. Imogene Thomas exploded this illusion at a recent meeting of the Press Club. She said, An itching palm signifies that you are going to receive something. An itching head shows that you already have something. Submitted by a gawking Freshman: Fourteen Seniors on a Freshman's chest, Yo ho, and a paddle or two! Oh, they tore his pants and ripped his vest, And gosh! what they didn't do! Charles Martin says a thing of beauty keeps you broke forever. Speaking of beauty. I have been told that beauty is a gift of God. Guess some of us Seniors must havelbeen left out when he was passing it around. Eugene West, a Senior guy, Who drives a flying Hivverg No knight of old was half so bold Or such a reckless liver. This jest is just one darned thing after another. Next- In our class we have Howard Statts In the words of the girls, he's the Cat'sg At dancing Howard is sublime, He does his waltz in a fox trot time. Strange things have taken place in this auditorium on various occasions and this evening a still stranger thing will come to pass-Thomas Gaskill Slater is going to receive his calf skin. They ought to give him two, one for additional service. George Dennis says most girls with a strong line usually hook some poor fish. I guess by the report handed out by Edward Devlin there were quite a few ups and downs at 'the Senior skating party. Irish didn't fall much, he just couldn't stay on his feet. All good things must come to an end, and so it is at this time I wish to express the feeling which prevails among the most honorable heads and feet of our class. I say feet because I feel that due to the way some of them use their heads their brains must all be in their feet. EMMETT A. MARSHALL WILILIAM EVERS , fi' ff' i 'I +A ea' ff! jk , -lf? Class Prophecy NE bright morning, in the year 1936, while sitting in my New York apart- rt ment, I picked up a newspaper and the first thing that attracted my at- tention was a photograph of the June graduating class of the Lincoln High School. Being in a pensive mood I let my mind wander back to P.H.S. and the June class of '26. A desire to know what time had done for my L,g,,..bl . . . ' classmates seized me. All connections with former classmates having been broken I knew not where to find the address of any of them. But wait! I re- called having read a story in the Who's Who' section of the American Magazine some time hence. I recalled with pride and pleasure my reading of the success of my former classmate, Elizabeth CoHman, in the movies. In reading this article I had noticed that Elizabeth's address was given. Feeling that my years of toil had justly earned a reward, I immediately decided to make a tour of the States and gather all possible information concerning my classmates and Alma Mater. Having recently purchased a new Chrysler car I felt that my means of transportation was ably provided. My first stop was Buffalo. While registering at a hotel I looked up, and to my amazement beheld the smiling face of Bernard Le Goullon. Our first topic of con- versation was, of course, the June class of '26. He told me that at the corner of Fourteenth and Main Streets, Marion Black was stationed as a traiiic cop. Probably his experience in P.H.5. gained for him this noteworthy position. The next morning while waiting for the traliic to change at Fourteenth and Main Streets, I summoned Marion to my car. To my surprise he told me that he was married to Fanny Caldwell. He told me that Cecil Garrison andPaui Frankhouser were the proprietors of the hot-dog stand across the street. Traffic change! I bade Marion good-bye and pro- ceeded on my way. On the outskirts of the city I stopped to purchase gasoline and found the salesman to be Keith Brinninstool. For a while we discussed mutual friends, and then, time pressing, I moved on. Arriving in Schnectady, New York, l entered a restaurant and there I found Anita lrrunty and Jack Henson. Anita is broadcasting over the radio, and Jack is the announcer at this station. Leaving them I started on my way to Philadelphia. There I found Paul Reece as the chiel of a detective agency. He directed me to a part of the city in which Janet lsennington could be found. Ile merely gave the address and did not tell what occupation she was engaged in. Much to my surprise I found that she and Dixon Dudderar had ioimed two partnerships, one being drawn up by a minister, and the other only verbal Ior they were the managers of a skating rink. Not having time to take advantage of their hospitality 1 moved to another part of the city where I found Christy Wildt and Vvllfgll Harrison putting on a minstrel act. Having never D6IOL'e been in rhiladelphia l decided to visit Sears and Roebuck's headquarters. 'Lhere I found Don Lemon engaged as advertising manager. lVIy next stop was Pitts- burg. At Carnegie Tech I found William Ellis as head coach of the track team. I-le has produced a young man who now holds a wor1d's record. Coach Ellis ac- companied me to the zoo where another great surprise was in store for me. For there I found Irish Devlin feeding the monkeys. While in Pittsburg I made the amazing discovery that Virginia Ball had been presented with the Nobel Prize for unexcelled work in mathematics. Arriving in Toledo, Ohio, and desiring to see how the mail service was conducted, whom should I see but Captain William Waitenight, in charge of the Hying squad. From there I made my way to Cleveland. There I met Arlie Zinn, who is now a prosperous physician. Amelia Gale is now a reporter on - 51- ff, .4455 f-flfg' the Toledo Times. Ora Gainor is posing as a fashion model in an exclusive modiste's shop in Cleveland. Through other classmater I learned that Evelyn O'Dell and Paul Kellar are married and Paul is a successful auto salesman. Reynolds Matheny is an instructor in a world famous Art School. Walter Kesterson is a sport writer for the Nea Service. In Cincinnati Martha Mann is instructing in expression in the Univer- sity of Cincinnati. The race track in Indianapolis attracted my attention and there Edgar Heermans is a dare devil driver with the following slogans written on his car: Danger-20,000 jolts, Pray as you enter. An accident looking for a place to hap- pen. But Edgar doesn't know that the part of a car which causes most accidents is the nut that holds the steering wheel. My next stop was Detroit. There I found a number of old classmates en- gaged in constructing Fords. William McEvoy, Claremont Hoyt and Harold Eaton are mechanics in the Ford factory. Lawrence Devol is one of Henry's traveling sales- men who has New York State as his sales district. Also Mary Monroe, Alice Wilson, Elizabeth Davey and Helen Baker hold important positions as secretaries. In Chicago, Virginia Sheppard is a prominent judge. I discovered Kermit Amos smoking Swift's delicious hams. Raymond Archer is manager of this packing depart- ment. James Jenkins has charge of the printing of all pamphlets for the factory. Leaving the factory I decided to look through the Hart, Schaffner and Marx build- ing. Posing for advertisements of the well known firm was Gordon Johnson. In St. Louis I attended one of the World Seris games between the St. Louis Americans and the Pittsburgh Pirates. In the line ups appeared three names of mem- bers of the class of '26. They were Paul Price, Victor Wentzel, and Kermit Nofsinger. From St. Louis to Kansas lay my route. The Kansas plains are vast in extent, with corn tassels and yellow ears of corn overspreading the landscape. And oh! How hot is the summer in Kansas. Not a pop stand in sight and thirsting, I let my eyes wander out over the waving corn to rest on a large farm house to which I made my way. After knocking at the door I waited for the owner to appear. A regular farmer dressed in overalls and blue shirt, with his Wife, opened the door. And who were they but Helen Warren and Lyle Baker. I was forced to stay for the night as no wouldn't do for an answer. However the next morning, not to be deterred in my purpose to reach the other coast I proceeded on my way. Determined to make this trip a source of pleasure as well as an informational one I decided to see the Grand Canyon of Colorado. Asking for a guide a tall fellow was presented to me. He was none other than Carter Withers. I also learned that two other travelers were going with me. I was not the only one to be lured by the tales of the Grand Canyon, for I met Dorothy Christmyer who had just married a Spanish nobleman, was spending her honeymoon there. No one could take a cross country trip and think of avoiding the great Yellow- stone National Park, so with all other tourists I headed in that direction. I stopped at an inn for lunch, and to my utter surprise saw Freida Newlon, Oleda Cooper, Olive Fleming, and Freda Marshall seated at the next table. They were taking an excursion trip to Yellowstone Park under the auspices of the B. SL O, Railroad. I spent several days with my friends while inspecting the Park. In Helena, Montana, a great sheep raising section, were Willard Logsdon, Harry Posey, Howard Staats, and John Spencer, who had formed a partnership in the sheep industry. , ,. I A' 'ff - 4.,, fl' ff!! Clara Meintel is engaged in the real estate business in Boise, Idaho. Also in the Salmon River mountains Where gold has been discovered in great quantities, Phil Hamrick, Virgil Balderson, Gordon Wolfe, Harold Wilson, Kenneth Weekely, and Hubert Thornburg are seeking their fortunes in the gold regions. In Oregon, Herbert Alexander is a metallurgical expert. He is now head of one of the large plants in the manufacturing of coal products. At the University of California, in Los Angeles, Maude Murrin is the librarian. A desire to see famous Hollywood caused me to neglect the other parts of California for that whim. Arriving there my first move was to locate Elizabeth. Hollywood is a large place, but so prominent a character as Elizabeth is not difficult to find. I told her of all my experiences so far and she listened with much interest. Also other members had made themselves famous in the movie world. Louise Allen was taking the leading role in a recent production, The Lady or The Tiger. Jeanette Marsh, Edith Wolfe, Ruth Livingston, and Virginia Hayman, inseparable as ever, Winifred Woods, and Dola Harless are all famous actresses. Bud Martin has replaced Maurice Maviet, who is now too aged to dance, and is continually searching for a dnacing partner. While passing through San Francisco, I was dazed to see flashing in brilliant lights from the front of an opera house the words: Thomas Gas- kill Slater. My curiosity was aroused to see what it was all about. Tom was singing in Grand Opera. After the performance I talked to him for some time, and he told me Chi Dulin was directing an orchestra in Brooklyn, New York. One-half of my cross country tour was completed, and half of my classmates found. Surely the other half must be in the southern states. Arizona is noted for its desert lands. However in Phoenix, the state maintains a zoo. The famous Dennis brothers, George and Frank, are the official dentists, and are extracting molars and bicuspeds from Rhinoceroses. At a missionary school ln a small Arizona village Colbert Brown is the teacher. In the great state of Texas, while stopping at a hotel, I spent an enjoyable evening listening to Hazel Beach and her orchestra broadcasting from Cuba. This being their first night to broadcast, the names of the various members were an- nounced. Among them were those of Marjorie Bee, Bob Bryan, Myron Lowther, and Francis OBrien. Just outside of Sand Hill, Texas, Dorothy Arnold is running a great cattle ranch which she had inherited from her father. She was entertaining as her guests for several months, Winifred Butcher, Blanche Davis, Ellen Dye and Dale Cline. In Oklahoma a great deal of excitement was caused by and oil well which was producing 1000 barrels a dav. The producer of this well was none other than Brad Wells. Bob Shore was the driller. Pearl Fluharty, VVilma Grible, Lora Kirsck, and Virginia Lang were employed as secretaries in a large law office. Anna Page, Ruth Grandon, and Mabel Morehead are featurewriters for The Evening Star of Little Rock, Arkansas. In Yazoo, Mississippi, I gave way to a childish desire to see a circus. Imagine my consternation upon seeing Edgar Pratt suspended from a trapeze high overhead. Later during the performance it was announced that as a feature act, Eugene West would give an exhibition of the Charleston He now retains the name of Single Charleston Champion of the World without a rival. Montgomery, Alabama brought me more classmates. Selden Humphrey, who is president of the First National Bank has many able assistants in Helen Wilson, Bernice Welsh, and Katherine Willis as tellers in his bank. l l 1-if 47 W l ff gf 11 1 'ip M XX, L Xi X X On my way to Tallahassee, Florida, I saw the McConnell Drug Stores highly advertised. I stopped partly for the sake of curiosity, and sure enough Charles Mc- Connell, sheik of P.H.S., with his wife, Roberta Flinn, was the proprietor. At Palm Beach the National Beauty contest was being held. The honor was finally awarded to Frances Trout as Miss West Virginia. Robert Powell was one of the judges. Be loyal to your state and comrades Robert. Earl Sutherland and Richard Smith now raise your Florida sweet oranges. Edward Sheehy and Charles Slater own a large cotton plantation in Georgia. It is hard to belive, but Georgia's largest cotton mill is owned by Essie Hichman, Virginia Flanigan, Kathryn Johnson, and Ada Mae Pickens. Earl McPherson is superintendent of their mill. Here I was informed that Emmett Marshall directs a jazz orchestra in a local cafe. In North Carolina, Albert Strimer owns a large hotel. Albert told me that Charles Scholl conducts a large printing establishment in the next block. Blackford Camden is a prominent lawyer in Richmond, Virginia. Benton Lan- 1'itt and Warren Miller own the State Theatre there. Russell Leach controls a chain of ten creameries in Virginia. At the University of Virginia William Evers is Head Coach of all sports. A A ' A ' In Parkersburg once again, myfifirst-step lwas to locate the secretary of the Alumni Society. A great change hastaken place in and about the city. Parkersburg now has a population of 500,000. Mr. Quickis prophecy has come true according to dope! ' Our worthy president, Jack Holden, is now Mayor of Parkersburg. Jack Miller is manager of Smoots Amusement Company. Roy Hannaman and Artel English hold important positions in- the'Vitrolite plant. Merle Riggle has taken Mr. Slateris position as flunking math teacher in P.H.S. Ed Rutter is the much admired principal of the high school. Richard Ratekin is the survivor of Mr. Steele. Elizabeth Thrash has taken Mr. Quick's position, and is now saying contrary to dope when a losing team comes through with-iiyin-g colors. ,Anna Lou Bickel is secretary of the Alumni Association. She told me what had happened to a great number of our classmates whom I had notmet in my travels. lVIary Bowser is singing in Grand Opera. Ora Gainor and Frances Edmonson are' clerks in Dils Bros.

Grethel Parks, Bernice Sayre, Grace Potter, Norma Rutter, and Mildred Stealey are clerks in Baltimore's largest dry goods store. f With many sighs and goodbyes I left my old home town and wended my way to Baltimore. Bernard Haught conducts a show troupe which had just come back to the states from a tour of the world, playing in all the large countries. At Annapolis, Fanny Devine is head coach ,turning out a successful team yearly. Much' pleased with my journey'I returned to New York, happy over my class- mates' fortunes. IMOGENE THOMAS WILLIAM E.

Of course, they're starting their long career, And must to their superiors yield. Sc-phomores are just a little farther, But still quite ignorant as is seen. They think themselves quite big of course, And love 'to be to Freshies mean. Juniors, well, at last, they are, After two long years of work and worry, Ready for the great delight Of always being in a hurry. And then we come to Seniors great, Staid, and wise, and dignifiedg And, true, they have a right to be For working hard and having tried. This is our high school life, you see, Made up of work, and pleasure, too. Now let us in the span of life Try ever to be good and true. ff- f!: , li' I 5 ' 0 F 5 n-1 a-1 Z 4 E I In lil nc u.

Q X l l 5 X 1 l X N X 0 ONTRARY TO CUSTUM, only one debate was held this year: a triangular x xl X0 affair between Parkersburg, Cambridge, and Marietta. Other debates Nl 4 were scheduled but were cancelled due to the many other events, such X235 as the State Literary Meet and the West Contest in which the same group of students were participants. i' I For years Parkersburg, High School has been noted for the excellent debating teams it turns out, thanks to Mr. R. S. Souleg and this year, in that respect, is not to slip by unnoticed, for the present teams, through their untiring efforts in repre- senting and upholding the reputation of their beloved school, have doubly earned this title and it is ,sincerely hoped that P'. H. S. may have as many successful ones in the future, as it has had, in 'the past. While the local teams were not successful in every way, as far as winning was concerned, they most certainly were in upholding and maintaining the good reputation, honor and glory of their school. Those who f had no small part in this are: ll K Affirmitive Team Negative Team l 1. Elizabeth Coffman 1. Paul Steer 2. Charles Martin 2. Dixon Dudderar 3. Virginia Sheppard 3. Darrel Hamric Alternate-Genus Bartlett Alternate-Bernard Haught l F - l Q I Y X' 5' if 5' X 5 I ,K 2' :.,,:. 1 Y, C 117 J? so fa! - f r ,Z Resolved, That the Air Service of the United States Should Constitute a Department of the Federal Government was the direct question for debate. The local Negative team went to Marietta, and that of Cambridge came here. The Affirmitive won from Cambridge by a score of 90 to 87 2-3, while the Negative lost to Marietta by a fraction of one percent, after a procrastinated deliberation of the judges and all concerned. I could scarcely expect the question to a better debate in college circles than was here evidenced tonight, stated Judge Asa E. Ward, prominent Marietta attorney, having witnessed the local debate held on February 17, 1926. Those individuals prominent for their participation in other activities as well as debating work are: Dixon Dudderar, who aside from his debating work and being proclaimed a master of reasoning, is prominent in Y. M. C. A., Dramatic and Athletic circles. Among those greatly interested in Dramatics and Hi-Y as well, is Paul Pete Steer, president of the local Hi-Y club who will attend an international meeting of that organization in the summer. While Bernard Haught is: a prominent member of the Dramatic club and played a creditable part in It happened in June, he is also president of the Executive Speaker's Club. This is the first year Darrel Hamric has been out for debate and he deserves more than the usual praise, for it is very seldom that a debater makes the team upon his first trial. An excellent speaker and actor is Charles Bud Martin, who is prominent in various activities of the Senior Class and is a member of the Executive Speaker's Club. Virginia Patrick Henry Sheppard has carried off all kind of medals for P. H. S. and herself, due to her extensive debate and Oratorical work. Virginia will probably enter some well known Law School soon-Good Luck, Ginny, Noted for his excellent work in the VVest Contest is Genus Bartlett, who is also an enthusiastic member of the Dramatic Club and a member of the Executive Speaker's Club. Due to her untiring efforts, and being an alternate last year, Gwendolyn Matheny has turned out to be a true debater. As the debate, which she was to appear in was cancelled she is, nevertheless, a debater in full standing. She is also an outstanding member of the Dramatic Club and president of the Jr. II Class. Three years have gone by and at last Elizabeth Coffman has landed a place on the team an occasion for which great singing, rejoicing and feasting should take place. A debater is eligible to Torch and Scroll, Society, a National honorary or- organization of Debaters, and Tap Day, when they are elected is a day looked forward to with great anticipation.

West Contest F Because of the large number of participants this year it was necessary that the West Contest be divided. The Junior-Senior events were held last semester and the Freshmen-Sophomore events were held this semester. This plan was followed in all events except the essay, which, by the rules, is open ot the entire school, and was held in conjunction with the Freshman-Sophomore events this semester. The events in the contest which were held this semester are as follows: FRESHMEN-SOPHOMORE DEBATE. Question: Resolved, That all students in Parkersburg High School should Wear uniform dress.

W. Va. High School Literary Contest One of the annual events in which P. H. S. participates is 'the State Literary Contest. This is a. contest sponsored by W. Va. University, for the purpose of promoting literary and forensic work. The interest always runs high all over the state about the time of the contest. The system followed is: Q15 The tryouts in the school for those who make the team. There are four events: debating, essay, oration, and extemporaneous speech. The winners of the tryouts in these events represent the school, as a team, in the district contest. C21 The district contest was held at Parkersburg. The winner of each event in the district go to Morgantown for the finals. Q31 The semi-finals and finals are held at Morgantown. This year they were held on May 15. The winner of each event is awarded a scholarship to W. Va. University, a gold medal, a wall placque to be the permanent property of the school, and a cup to be held for one Year. The team representing P. H. S., in the district contest this year were: Oration, Virginia Sheppardg extemporaneous speech, Glenn Jackson, essay, Freda Newlon, and debate, Genus Bartlett. However, Freda. Newlon was the only Parkersburg representative successful in this district meet. She went to Morgantown for the State meet. G a 3 XF! 0 x 4 l X XX H i..4f2f'V I I ff The Art Department l? l NDER the S ' ' f V X! upervision of Mr. C. E. Patton the Art Department has X H been showing considerable progress. '11 The Art I classes have been doing object drawing in charcoal and pencil block printing in one or two colors and some tie-dying. The Art II classes have been doing tie-dying, batiking and leather work to some extent. The Art III classes are doing numerous things in craft work some what the same as the Art II classes only more extensively. They are also doing things in decoratine design such as painting wall pockets and mail boxes and 'they are having some problems in interior decorating. The Art IV class is speding two davs a week on 1Ht9l'10I' decorations, drawlng floor plans and elevations of roo '. Th ms e other days are spent on free hand drawing and craft problems chosen from leather work, batiking and painting of scarfs. Under the capable supervision of Mr. Patton who has recently been to Europe . 1. . . . . specia 1z1ng in interior decorating, the students are rapidly progressing. The art department has only been organized for about two years but never- theless it h ' ' ' as grown quickly and expects to do better in the future than in the past The Senior Class of May '26 wished to thank the art department for the suc s ces of this Parkischan as the numerous illustrations found within were contributed by the members of this department Dorothy Arnold ff? .159 The Parkersburg High School Orchestra ROBABLY NO OTHER ORGANIZATION in the High School is more active 'than the High School Orchestra. This organization has been under the direction of John R. Swales who is an Associate and Licentiate of the College of Violinst's London, England. This year it was thought advisable to give major credits for orchestra ' ' V work, and September last 1925 the orchestra started with a membership of forty two. The present semester which commenced in January of this year found our orchestra with a membership of seventy. From the beginning it has played for nearly every indoor activity 'that has taken place in the High School, including about thirty Assemblies. It very ably supported the Dramatic Club with music for all it's presentations, which brought forth much favorable comment. The entire score of the opera In Old Louisaniajl was played by the orchestra, the first time the orchestra of the Parkersburg High School attempted anything of this sort. Among other affairs it has played for are: The Opening of the new Neale School. The Art Exhibit at Neale School, The Debates under the direction of Mr. R. S. Soule, The lectures of Mr. Barnes, The Graduation Exercises, and many other activities. The Rotary Convention which was held in April was entertained by the orchestra at the two Luncheons held at the Maso-nic Temple. Mr. Swales being highly compli- mented by the Rotary members for their fine performance. In addition to the above, the Orchestra has given four of it's own concerts which were attended by over a thousand people on each occasion. The music played by the Orchestra consisted of the Standard New York Theatre arrangements which are played by all the leading Orchestras of the United Statesi It is hoped that the good work of 'the Orchestra will continue, and that the membership will be One Hundred next semester. Lots of luck to every member and their untiring director.

Dietz the band has made more progress in one year than it made during its entire previous existence. Mr. Dietz came ,f to P. H. S. a year ago last September. Since then he has built up the 4 personnel of the band from twentyito sixty members. Our band is well 'se ' 'lf' ' equiped, both in instruments and uniforms. 'Phe band played for all the home games during the Football seasons. They also took an active part during the Basketball season. They have given several concerts in assembly for the benefit of the students. Last February this organization gave a cc-ncert in the auditorium, which was very greatly enjoyed by the large crowd which attended. Besides all the work it does for the school, the band played for the Rotary Convention, and gave a concert at the City Park for Music Week. Our band is the best in the state.

'l ,-diy' Marcato Club ARCATO CLUB of Parkersburg High School is composed mostly of upper- classmen, especially interested in voice, and meets every Tuesday at 3:20 f P. M. The club has taken part in several programs this semester, assist- V ing in the second concert of the Parkersburg High School Orchestra at which time the girls first appeared in their Red and White uniforms. Later they appeared at the regular noonday luncheon of the Rotary Club of Parkersburg and at the State Rotary Convention luncheon at the Masonic Temple. Only one out of town performance has been given, that being rendered at the Williamstown High School Assembly in response to an invitation extended by them. The Marcato Club joined the Junior Choral department of the State Federation of Music Clubs and took part in a contest held at Huntington, April the 23rd. Much time was devoted to 'the study of the three numbers, Wind Fairies by Choffin, a Dreaming Rose by Harris, and Down in the Devey Dell by Smart, presented at that time. The Marcato Club gave their annual concert March the 9th in the Parkersburg High School Auditorium and the proceeds were used to defray the expenses to Huntington. The club is very much indebted to Miss Boette, our club sponsor and director for any success we may have attained. Every girl has worked with the club and Miss Boette and We hope our club will continue to progress in the future as it has in the 'Fifi 1 is .19 Past- Q A i Uliili The officers and members of the club are: President ........,..,...,i,,...,...,,.,.,.,. ,.,r,,r,,. ,,rrr..., ,......,..,,,,,.,,,., M a r y Bowser Vice President ,,..,.......,i,.. ,. ,,.,. ,..,rY.... ,.............

H. S., auditorium on Friday, May 21, 1926. The curtain rose at 8 o'clock and disclosed 'the living room of a California ranch house. The story is of a family whose home is mortaged because the father has used all the family funds on a patent. There are two daughters, 3 1 Helen and Mary and a son George. Besides the immediate family an old aunt and uncle of Mr. Ridling reside at the ranch. Mary the younger daughter, along with a playmate, Jimmy Anderson, decide to make orange marmalade. This venture causes the sale of the patent and the Ridlings are rich but 'the father and Helen, who is somewhat of a 'thigh Brow, wish to live in the city and the mother and Mary wish to stay on the ranch. Finally Mr. and Mrs. Ridling separate. Helen goes to Europe to study and Mr. Riddling goes to the city to live. VVhile in Europe Helen meets with an accident and as a result becomes blind. Her father brings her home 'to her mother and to her lover, Ernest Hadley a young engineer, whom she has cast aside for a rich friend of her father's. On the same day Helen is brought home the father and mother are reunited and all ends happily. This play which was run on the two-cast system was ably directed by Mr. William E. Slater' who presented this play as his last effort in drama in P. H. S. The double cast was as follows: Mr. Ridling, the father-Tom Slater and Gordon Johnson. Mrs. Ridling, the mother-Kathryn Connolly and Essie Hickman George RidlingfDiXon Dudderar and Arley Zinn Nita, his wifeWwEvelyn O'Dell and Helen Wilson HelenEJanet Bennington and Dorothy Fisher Mary-Virginia Sheppard and Anita Prunty Jimmy-Christy Wildt and Reynolds Mathney Ernest-Don Lemon and Charles Martin Aunt Martina-Imogene Thomas and Jeanette Marsh Uncle Jasper+Bernar'd Haught and Jack Miller Carter Boatwright-George Dennis and Charles Dulin Marjorie, his sister-Martha Mann and Marcella Collins gf- I f X 'X X lj- 3 X X pi? X. tx Review of the Dramatic Club HE DRAMATIC CLUB OF '26 has just passed through one of the most progressive and advantageous years that the club has ever witnessed. IQ? is Just a little history from our book would read something like this: The first meeting' was taken up in electing officers of the club after the election the reins were placed in the hands of Anita Prunty the newly 5 1 elected president, assisted by Dixon Dudderar, vice-president, and Glenn Jackson, secretary, and Gwendolyn Matheny, treasurer. Plans were then set for the production of Be An Optimist. After which try-outs were held and an excellent cast was chosen from the abundant material. The cast and director spent much time in working this play in shape, and when it was produced they were well paid for their efforts as the play went over in Grand Style, so to speak. The next few meetings were spent in discussing club business and other matters of importance, The programs for these meetings were furnished by the Public Speaking III Class in the form of one act plays. These plays were directed and presented by the students of this class who displayed wonderful ability as dramatic artists. , The next project of importance that the club faced was the production of the well-received play IT HAPPENED IN JUNE , a production that will not be for- gotten soon. Under the direction of Mr. Wm. Slater the cast was soon put into first class shape, as a result of this the play met with the hearty approval of every- one. Too much cannot be said of this cast for they deserve it all, being composed of so-called green material , but displaying the ability of an experienced cast. This article would not be satisfactorily complete without a space donated to our competent leader, Mr. Slater. He has worked exceedingly hard with this organi- zation, and much has been accomplished through his efforts. Some of the main head liners under his name are: Director of Be An Optimist , and inventor of the DOUBLE CAST SYSTEMg director of It Happened In June , and last the Joy of the Victors the famous PIE FEEDS, which resulted from the organ- ization of ticket selling teams. We regret very much that Mr. Slater will not be with us next year in our work, due to his acceptance of a position at Lewisbury W. Va., as head officer of Military at Greenbrier Military Academy. Hats off to you Mr. Slater we appreciate what you have done for us and wish you the greatest of success in your new field. By GLENN JACKSON fb X5-f I AZ , fl- f 7 X I 4 1 A niiiff g I l 4 ACH YEAR NEW FEATURES are added to high school life, and some of these features prove very valuable, and some almost indespensable i high schools of West Virginia in the past few years, and has grown by OSC leaps and bounds recently, is the issuing of student publications, such as year books, newspapers and magazines, by the students themselves. And Parkers- burg High School has not been in arrears in this movement. At the present time she has three popular and worthwile publications-the Parhischan , issued by the graduating classes, a weekly newspaper the Quill , and a magazine, the Quest,' 'which is published occasionally during the school year. Although the Parhischan is managed and edited by the Senior II classes, it is not made up of the class alone. It represents the whole school, and members of the' Senior II class, and their activities, articles on different subjects of' interest to the school, pictures of all the clubs and organizations within the school, with Writeups describing them, and athletic section, pictures of representative students Q ' after fair trials. One of these features, which has reached great importance in the ' 1 The Quill is P. H. S. newspaper, and it is all that a high school paper should and two but will many other sections of interest to all the students. In the past several years this book has been issued twice a year, by each of the graduating classes, but after much considera'tion it has been decided to issue one copy each school year, and that to be in the spring. The January class make up their section. The June class will add theirs and publish the book. Much expense will be eliminated in this way, and a much better annual produced. This change will go into effect next year. be. It contains the usual front page newspaper form, H. S. news, the society col- umns, the athletic sheet, personals, and all 'the rest that go to make up a real school newspaper.. It is published weekly, by the news writing classes, under the super- vision of Mr. E. S. Shannon. Just recently it won 'third place in an inter-cholastic Press Association Contest of all the high school newspapers of West Virginia. , ':, ..Y '4, I I If 1.7 ,Q lj-7 A JA, x X Nl The Quest , a magazine, is published occasionally during the school year, by the news writing II classes. Next year it will probably be published monthly. It contains poems, feature stories, clever articles by the students, cartoons etc., and is a really good school magazine. This brief sketch cannot do justice to 'the merits of Parkersburg High School's student publications, and the way to prove it is to find out for yourself, by getting a Parkeischan , subscribing for the Quill , and buying a Quest every chance you get, and reading them all through. Then no one will have to be hired to boost our representatives So three cheers for P. H. S. publications, The Parhischanu, The Quill , and The Quest . X Freda Newlon X X THE PARHISCHAN STAFF Xi .

They are chosen on the basis of scholarship, leadership, character, and service. To ' be chosen as a member of this organization is, perhaps the greatest honor that can come to a high school student at the close of his Work here. Scholarship alone will not admit one to its ranks: participation in all sorts of school activities, an upright and honorable character, and the right attitude towards teachers and fellow students are necessary also. The choosing of the members is a weighty matter and the faculty committee chosen for this feels the responsibilityg after selecting the members of the class whom they deem worthy of the honor, they submit the list to the entire faculty for approval. So the twenty-six members chosen this semester may well rejoice over their admission to the worthy company and be proud of the little pin which acclaims their membership to the world at large.

Executive Speakers' Club C, -j CLUB DOING MORE or a greater service than the Executive Speakers yn, Club, would be hard to find in P. H. S., for aside from being composed of the leaders about school, it is a source from which one may obtain a speaker for any or all occasions, and for this reason it is not unfrequently called upon. - The club brings together the leaders of P.H.S., such as the Presidents and Vice-Presidents of the Junior and Senior classes. Representatives of the Fresh- man and Sophomore classes, oiiicers of the Dramatic Club, Big Red Council, Hi-Y, Let's go, Astronomy, Travel, and other clubs, all of whom are eligible for membershfp, to say nothing of the Debaters, West Contestants, State Forensic Team and Torch and ations for a party to be held by the club. This semester the club has been under the wise leadership of Bernard Haught as President, ably assisted by Vice-President, Robert Powell, and Secretary and Treasurer Gwendolyn Matheny. Mr. Soule has acted as sponsor of the club. Among other things the club has acted as a student council council meeting with the facul'ty to aid in solving the old problem in regard to the Limitation of Activities and it is highly probable that next semester the conclusions, at which they have arrived, will be put in to practice, with every reason for believing that they will be successful. Aside from aiding greatly in solving school problems, the benefits, derived by the individual members of the club are not to be overlooked. Debates are held in the club meetings, parliamentary law is applied as well as discussed and studied. The club has also aided greatly in creating a favorable attitude concering Senior Privileges and helping launch Senior Projects so that they will go over and be and be successful. Now this club is not occupied in work only, but also finds time for recreation, and the chairman of this committee is Martha Mann, who has made extensive prepar- ations for a party tobe held by the club. f At presenttheclubhas a membership of over forty, but due to the wide in- terest being created in this activity it is hoped that many other students will find time to join this honorary organization next semester. lrflii Q1 k W A r'f gil fl l in if li in Latin Mythology Club IW HE LATIN MYTHOLOGY CLUB is composed of about 38 students interested N some of the Greek and Roman myths and have also had subjects discussed .

S. Shannon sug- V gested to his News Writing classes the formation of a press club. Some iii' Za students in each of the two classes were interested in such an organization, td 'A so a meeting was called. Though the club was not fully organized at this first meeting, it did prepare to take care of the coming delegates, and to sponsor the meeting at which the W. Va. H. S. P'. A. was formed. At its next meeting it proceeded to draw up its constitution and by-laws and to elect officers, and at once cooperate with the local executive officers of the W. Va. H. S. P. A. to put that organization over. Since then it has been working for the Press Association, and planning for the first annual convention of that organization. The following are the present members of the P. H. S. Press Club: Walter Kesterson, president, James Williamson, vice-president, Harold Gallo- way, secretary and treasurer, Wilma Gribble, Emmett Marshall, Marcella Collins, James Kenkins, George Dennis, Edgar Pratt, Freda Marshall, Imogene Thomas, Kate Ringer, Kermit Miller, and Edward Ecker. Harold Galloway ,f if af V - 52 ff! ' Travel Club Aw HE TRAVEL CLUB -sponsored by Mr. H. M. Quick, was a great success again this semester. The increased membership of forty-nine once more IQ? constituted one of the largest clubs in school. Travelers speaking at the Monday meetings were: Judge J. W. Van- dervort, in a description of his trip to England, Mrs. Ben Nathan, visit to f Mexico, Mr. Edward Nelly, journey to the Land of the Midnight Sun g President M. P. Shawkey, of Marshall College, Traveling through West Virginia , Principal H. W. Piggot, Impressions of Washington, the Capital , as received during his former residence there, Mrs. H. D. Price, Yellowstone Park , showing colored slides, Mr. Chas. E. Patton, lately returned from European art study, in Odd Viewpoints of the Parisians . Student speakers Were: Charles Dulin, who 'told of his hobo trip from Kansas to Kalifornyvg Carlyn Nathan in an account of her South American travels, and Charlotte Anderson, just graduated and former club president, who contributed a travel talk on her experience of this winter in Florida. At a general assembly, Mr. L. H. Ashby, representing the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, appeared under the auspices of the club, entertaining and instructing the entire student body with an illustrated lecture of The City of Washington . Rev. A. B. Withers has promised a Palestine number and Mr. Chas. Smoot is booked for The Florida of the Business Man . At some of the meetings, Mr. Quick gave interesting and instructive talks on Practical Details of Travel , accompanied by demonstration of the use of railway guides and time-tables. Slides and postcards, brought by several speakers were thrown on the screen by the projecting machine. These were enjoyed by the members of the Club and Visitors present at many of the meetings. I 1 Astronomy Club A EW ORGANIZATIONS have more enjoyable times than the Astronomy i Club. Pure fun joins hands with interesting instruction. gli, The members learn to recognize the constellationsg they study about 'the huge magnitudes of many celestrial objects and the tremendous dise tances between them, and they gain much other information about the iii, niarvelous things of the universe. This semester the club has again had the good fortune to have the frequent services of Rev. A. B. Withers, who has a very entertaining way of presenting as- tronomical facts and theories. Mrs. Withers, however, who also often addressed the club in former semesters, was prevented by illness from doing so this semester, and was greatly missed by the members. Mr. C. J. Quick and Miss Laura Moore favored the club with interesting talks., V 4 On April 30 the club went in automobiles to Marietta College, where Prof. Coar showed the members the large telescope, explained its operation to them, and assisted them in viewing some of the stars through it. Q The club met on Monday afternoons after school for instruction and the tran- saction of business and had fortnightly meetings on Friday evenings for star observ- ing and social enjoyment. The latter' were held at the home of Mr. A. C. Taylor, the sponsor of the club. Y Officers , President .,.,.,....,,..,.... ...............,........ ...............

X ago It was a very rare thing for any high school to have one, but in our day n Q - - - 3 4, '-...' f- and age lt 1S different. X ,A K 4 The first aim of the library, of course, is to supply sufficient refer- ' ence for the studen'ts and a quiet place to collect the material. It is a X H 9' great advantage to have some place to go where one may be sure of enjoy- ing quiet and undisturbed concentration. Then, too, along with this, students are taught how to use a library-the Readers' Guide in particular. Regular library instruction conducted by Miss Peters, the P. H. S. librarian, is given once a semester to students until they reach their Junior year. This proves very valuable when they need matrial on a specified subject and the librarians are occupied, Teachers, especially those whose subjects are English, History, or Public- speaking, say that they do not see how they could carry on their courses without the library, where they quite frequently take their classes for a period. The P. H. S. library contains almost five thousand books. The best books of authors of many nationalities are attainable. In addition there are magazin and most worthwhile reading. newspaper racks on which my be found mny recent numbers, those c if !'Z',4,-v A cc fi! ,fi g ' yFii, d I The students who assist Miss Peters in the library must be given considerable credit. Those serving as student assistants are required 'to have an average of eighty- five per cent in every subject carried. The task of serving as an assistant is not an easy one. Each one has his or her special duty to perform. For instance, some Work in the stockrooni, charging and discharging books, mending them and the like. Others may have charge of the magazines. Besides working one period each day, the help must work one evening a Week after school hours. There is always plenty to do and no 'time to waste. Mention must be made .of the new addition to the library, arranged this year. The library room was becoming too small for the number of books, so it was decided 'to use another room also, This is known as the reference room. Here are kept all the biographies, encyclopedias, dictionaries, and old magazines. This room is now used as much as the main one, and is proving very beneficial to everyone concerned. . Although many of the students never consider it, if our school were to be de- prived of i'ts library and its departments, the loss of such an important factor in educational circles would be very keenly felt. 4 T i- ff? 1'fZ gl' f . Jack of All Trades N TUESDAY night, the night which the orchestra class set for practice, 'F di found Jacqueline Starr in her place with her violin. She prized her violin I very much for it was not only an old and very fine one, but had been kin, fl' given her by her fa'ther shortly before his death. She could play it very well and could also play a number of other instruments which the other ' A , f girls played in the orchestra, and so in case of need she could take any of their places. It was because of this that she received the name Jack of all trades. Mildred Bennet was the last to enter the room as she took her place, the direc- tor, Miss Warner, took her place on the platform. A brief announcement girls, and then we will get down to work. It has been decided to take a part of the orchestra upon our glee club tour. We are taking one first and one second violin, together with a selection of other instruments. Jacqueline knew that one of these would be none orther than Mildred Bennett, for although she and Jacqueline both played first violin, Mildred had had the most practice. She longed very much to go but did not see how she could under the circumstances. There was but one thing for her to do, and that was to do her best in the concert which was to be given at the high school in order to finance those who were going on the tour. For the remaining time before the concert Jack practiced faithfully for the part which she would play in it. Once at rehearsal she took the place of another girl, but when 'the girl returned she again took her old place. Between hehearsal she studied with all her might. At last the hour arrived for the concert. Every girl was dressed for the occasion and in her right place Jacqueline's was beside that of Mildred who was to take the main part that night. She had noticed that on-e of Mildred's violin strings was get- ting very thin and had caustioned her beforehand but the girl seemed to believe that it would be all right, so Jack said no more about it. Again and again the glee club sang and the girls realized that they were succeeding beyond all their hopes. The next number was the one in which Mildred was supposed to show her talent. The other violin girls had settled comfortably in their seats, but Jacqueline was not so much at her ease for she knew of the circumstances under which Mildred would play. It did not seem to concern the violinist very much at thef time, however. She played very carefully, but Jacqueline knew that in another moment she would take 'the rising scale, for she had practiced it with her many times because she loved it very much. Before Jack realized it she had grasped her own violin and her fingers seemed to- seek the right position. Just as Mildred began to play something snapped. It was not very loud but Jacqueline had heard it and looked over just as Mildred's face went white. But Jack was ready with her own prized instrument in place, just in time to join with the voice of the singer. The concert was a great success but without the wit of this one girl it would not have been so, and this fact was realized by the instructor as well as those who took part 'in it. It was this little incident which caused the realizing of Jacqueline's desire to go on the tour, for it was arranged that she should accompany them. Although she was called Jack of all trades, she was master of one-the art of saving the day.

HE MAN that we will take first is by no means the best or the worst man on the team but just one of the gang that went to make up that team that was so glorious to us. It was none other than Lyle Dawson the peppy little forward who used his gift of talking the opponents out of their fouls Vifigffllx and what ever else he could. Dawson is a man who could be depended . , X I N 1 .4 gn upon at all times, he is a good shot from and around the charity line, with the form of a pro. Next, the little man from Cedar Rapids comes to the writer's mind. Eddie Hines, the man who came to us with Coach Novak, was by no means to be triiied with on the hardwood or on the gridiron as you all know. Hines was a man that was ready at all times to make the best of any offered opportunities and displayed great skill and headwork on the regular five this year. With the latter in mind no other comes more close to him or excels him than Scrubby Gordon, the Red Grange of Parkersburg High School. Scrub played ex- cellent Basketball throughout the season and was a very valuable man to the Crimson warriors. Scrubby could fill 'the place of the best and we all know it, he could play the floor and any position on the team. Scrubby will be back with us next year and with a couple of others P. H. S., should be well represented. in the state High School circles. It is with the greatest of pleasure the writer takes the next man into considera- ation. He is a member of the Senior Graduating class and a man who has earned his letter in every sport that is offered in P. H. S., he is known on sixth street as Horace, and by others as Van Elmer, Dead Eye Loui, Little William Bud'. By these names the reader of this article if from, or, a member of Parkersburg High School will recognize at once William Bud Evers. Bud is the Nevers of our school and class. He deserves all the honor that can be bestowed upon him. The June class of twenty-six, is expecting great things of Bud when he leaves the dear Alma Mater this spring. He played forward on the Big Red quintet last winter and showed great ability at this position. While the June class of twenty-six are having their say we can not help from giving our little Lefty the next place on the list. Lefty is known better to the Seniors probably than to any other class or group in the school unless it would be the men who played with him on this years basketball team. The nickname at once tells the reader that the next man was left handed, but that was not all, he could and did use that left hand to great advantage in the engagements last winter. Albert Strimer, known and referred to as Left, was the smallest man on the regulars and participated in every game that the Big Reds played. We can still see that left hand straighten out and the ball go into the air, and later drop through the loop for that much appreciated two points. What Bohl was to Marietta, Strimer was to Parkers- burg. f 1' g XZ 1 3 I-jz 4' Y The next man to whom I will endeavor to give due credit is a freshman who came to us last September. This man was a most welcome member and has proven himself worthy of all the credit that can be given him. He is one of Coach Houseal's former proteges of Parkersburg Junior High School. Marchi is the man whom I am trying to give an account of but due to the late coming of this great center it is impossible to do him justice without knowing more about him. Marchi was regular center on the quintet and also played football on the Varsity squad last fall. A member of the Junior class comes into the writer's mind wi'th much praise due him, This is none other than Cotton Welch the classy forward who could be depended upon at. any time to step in'to a hot basketball game and fill any members shoes, Yes, and more than fill some of them. Welch is the image of his older brother who is lost to P. H. S. in body, but not in soul. When we see Cotton we remember Gibby but that by no means gives our little forward the due credit that he so well deserves. Welch will be with the Big Reds next year and the June class wishes him all luck in the world for a bigger and better year. As the old saying goes, last but not least, we will give another alumnus brother's brother the hand in the person of Holmes Backwith. We cannot forget when we were freshmen and Holmes' brother Bill was a dignified. Senior, playing on the Big Red basketball team. Who thought then that we would have another member of that family on our elgibility list to represent Parkersburg High School in Athletics? Nevertheless we have him and are proud of him. l X ,gif I ff ,-if Little Reds Basketball 3 , ' BOVE PICTURE is of the little Red, Basketball squad and those Who 'psf won little red letters or the second team monogram. The little Reds were very successfulf last season. They went through a hard schedule to break l -A ',' ' 1 even with two teams and win from eight others. Under Coach Young the seconds did-very well and a great deal better than was expected of them. The Little Reds was made up this year entirely of lower classmen. The fresh- men and Sophomore classes therefore had a much better chance to be represented on the hardwood. The greatest draw back at the beginning of the season was to teach the fundamentals of the game to most of the youngsters. This was not such a difficult job but took time and patience which Coach Young sure has. The schedule of the seconds was a hard card but these fellows took up the work and put it over with only two defeats after which they went back and defeated them over. In their schedule you will find such teams as the Junior High aggregation, . Scouts local independent team which the little Reds defeated 'three times with out any trouble. They also contested with the strong Marietta. Reserve team and then played them to one each. The other teams that they played are Ripley and other class B high school teams around this section. The following boys earned little red monograms: Gallagher, McCusky, Fink, Black, Hubbard, Wiggins, Stephens, Frame and Wix of the, regular little Red basket- ball squad. While the bottom row in the above picture are members of the big red squad which did not participate in enough games in the big games to win their Big Red monograms. They are: Stump, Rutter, Daugherty and Powell. 1 . Walter Kesterson f 1 if ,azz Lineup of the Class Teams Seniors- Hazel Barnum-C-Captain .

This was welcomed by the basketball girls The games which were played with Sistersville and Rev- enswood were scheduled and arranged by Mr. Carlsen athletic manager. 5 1 CLASS TOURNAMENT In order to- finid the best players for the varsity squad a. class tournament was held. The first evening about 100 girls appeared all anxious to make the team. It was decided to have four class teams: Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior and Senior with separate evenings to practice. At the end of about four weeks practice, the teams were chosen, captains elected, and preparations for the tournament began. On the evening off the first game of 'the tournament there were a great number of boys and girls of each class present to cheer their team to victory. The final game of the tournament was between 'the Sophomores and the Seniors and in this game the Sophomores came out victorious thus winning the silver loving cup. OUR COACH . The success of the Parkersburg High School Girl's Basketball team of '26 was due to the efforts of Coach Ethel VVoodyard who came to us from Grafton W. Va. This is Coach Woodyards first year with us and she has proven to us what she can do. Although her team did not win all the games they certainly did work anl showed a fighting spirit. Coach Woodyard is fitted for her work and liked by all her basketball girls as well as her other students. We certainly hope that Miss Woodyard will be with us again next year. l :A E9 'gs' 6i.'ffs'ix3 THE VARSITY Immediately after the tournament the squad was chosen and commenced working for they were to meet Sistersville on the night of Febrauary 20, at Sistersville. The team was that what you might call green each player being new but they were confident ofzwinning. The game was fast throughout but luck seemed against P. H. S. in not being able to pile up a higher score 'than 44-22 when the final whistle blew. Our next game was with Ravenswood, February 27, and the girls went into it with the expectation, of defeat but determined 'to fight. This game was a walkaway for Ravenswood. The final score being 55-10. Ravenswood had one of the speed- iest teams in the state and they certainly did prove to us what they could do. V C 'ff-J, 161 Mi Personnel 'l Ruth Nathan-Forward Ruth, one of the youngest members on the team has played basketball most all her life and certainly showed her ability in the Sistersville game. Ruth is an all round girl and a good athlete. Maragret Kirk-Guard Peggy, consistent and close guard, seldom fouls and, though this was her first year with the team, she played a good game and should be commended' for her faith- fulness in practice. Myrtle Wines-Center Myrtle played center this year and in our opinion outplayed them all. Myrtle is only a sophomore this year so we are sure to have a fast experienced player for next season. Frances Caldwell-Forward f Fanny came to us from Sistersville and We surely wish they would send more like her. Aside from being a dandy all around sport she was surely a valuable forward. This is her last year and we certainly will lose a good player. Virginia McManus-Guard Virginia,' playing her second year, put up the usual stellar game at guard in both games. The forwards who played on Virginia's side of the court had a hard time scoring. Essiei Hickman-Guard Essie is perhaps the steadiest and most consistent player of all. She is quick and can play all over the floor in an 'amazingly' short time. In addition to being a splendid guard she is the best natured girl on the team, always laughing, and never loses her head. This is Essie'a last year on the team and it will be difficult to ever find a player as cool headed to take her place. Edith Wolfe-Guard Last but not by any means least, comes our little brunette guard. Edith was one who made the life of the team. Aside from being a good sport Edith was a fast little guard. When she was with us on our away from homes games we were sure of a lively good time for, if 'there was no entertainment furnished, we were ably entertained by her. This is Ediths' last year on the team and we surely do hate to lose her. fl.. f ,f-' , ff- 45 gf ff? .4437 aff!! ! to Vfl 'L or 'PW Class Basketball Tournament LASS BASKETBALL TOURNEY STARTED this year with a game that will not be forgotten by those who were lucky enough to see it. It was played on Thursday evening after school in the big gym and many of the students from each class were there to cheer their teams on to Victory. The first game was between the freshmen and sophomore classes. The .....,.... game was a close contest throughout and the sophs won by a small score that would make any basketball game very interesting. On the following evening the juniors and seniors came together for the second game which proved very interesting throughout. The juniors won the contest by one point but the game was protested by the dignified class for the juniors played a man who was not in their class. The seniors won the protest and the game was played over with the seniors winning by a one sided score. It was on the following Tuesday that the sophomore and the senior classes met to settle the arguement between the two classes and the seniors were victorious by tWo or three points. The game was close and exciting throughout with neither team leading by a big majority at any time. It was the third time that the senior class of 26 won this tournament. kThe juniors defeated the froshs in the contest for third place which was the most in- teresting game of the tournament with many thrills in it that make one shudder. The idea of this class tourney is worked in through the intramural department which resulted in may boys who would otherwise not have participated in athletics taking part in the games. The boys who played with the senior outfit are as follows: Raymond Archer fCaptainJ, Lyle Baker, Dixon Dudderar, Desmond Rupple, Paul Keller, Arlie Zinn and William Davis. Walter Kesterson , 1 Z' X, - ff-V ... f' ' 5 s, W l X Football History fReprint From January Issue.D VK, .', FOOTBALL TEAM OF P.H.S. was never more strongly supported than it ' was during the 1925 season. From the beginning of' school in the fall up to the last game, on Thanksgiving Day every member of the school was ready , ug .vp m 'f -0 to uphold the team. 4 The football season opened with, vim, under the capable direction of Coach L Q Leo V. Novak. The first call for men and the support for them was answered with a spirit that showed that P.H.S. was determined to do something. And they did. Although the team did not win every game, they played good clean, hard football, Which is sometimes more glorious. than victory. Besides this the team was supported by a school which, regardless of victory or defeat, stood by and cheered them on. Too much praise cannot be given to Coach Leo. V. Novak, the greatest high school Novak has won the admiration and respect of every follower of the team. The team coach in the country, for the clean calliber football which the Big Reds played. Coach was built up of green material, boys who had but very little football experience. In fact, only three members of the entire squad had previously played on a Big Red Football team. ,From this inexperienced material, Coach Novak developed an ag- gregation capable of holding its own with the best teams of the state. In the first game of the season the Big Reds played a 0 to 0 tie with New Martinsville. On the following Saturday, the Williamstown team was defeated on the local field 7 to 0. Then, the Big Reds journeyed to Spencer, accompanied by 400 fans on a special train, and won 9 to 7. Next the team played Washington-Irving at Clarksburg and were defeated 30 to 0. Marietta, Parkersburg's rival, was met the following Saturday at Marietta. The first half ended 3 to O in favor of Marietta. With but thirty seconds to play and Parkersburg in the lead 6 to 3, Mariet- ta turned the table with a touchdown, the result of a long forward pass, and the game ended with the score 10 to 6 in favor of Marietta. In a sea of mud, Charleston next invaded the Big Red camp and carried of the bacon 20 to 0. Parkersburg played Marietta the second game and met defeat 18 to 0. A special train carried 500 local fans to Huntington on the following Saturday, where they saw their boys lose 18 to 0 after a bitter fight in the mud. Wheeling, state champions for the season, were held to a 6 to 0 score on November 14th. The Big Reds, led by the versatile Ed Hines, played a brilliant game of football and the state champions were held to their smallest score of the season. On Thanksgiving Day, playing the most spectacular game of the season, the Big Reds defeated Buckhannon 10 to 0. And, all agreed that the P.H.S. football team of the 1925 season had made more progress in the techinique ofthe game than any former Big Red team. Monograms were presented to twenty-three boys, including Bruckner, Williams, Powell, Defibaugh, Holden, G. Evans, Collins, Gilchrist, M. Black, Shears, Eber- hardt, B. Black, Hale, Fuller, Swyers, Hines, Neale.. Graham, Evers, Israel, Marchi, E. Rutter, and Drake. ma- -.,---- - - 'Y'-f A-H - ff! Br- - 'l ,l x Tennis By Frank Dennis I ENNIS was organized in P. H. S. in the spring of 1925. So great was the interest shown by the students that two tournaments were started, but owing to bad weather, they were not finished. B Least fall after rgaiiy tryouts, a tennis team was picked to represent WEN t e sc ool in intersc o astic matches. C3 fi Those making it were: Dixon Dudderar George Dennis Frank Dennis ' Evert McKean A schedule could not be arranged, however, because other schools did not have organized fall tennis. Another tournament was formed, in which the tennis team was not allowed to compete. This was won by Kermit Nofsinger, John Gallagher being runner-up. A round robin was also started but again bad weather intervened and it was not finished. This spring a regular schedule has been started and several tournaments are being planned. ' Games are also being sought with Point Pleasant, Clarksburg, and Charleston. The Big Red team won a smashing victory over Marietta, May 2., not allowing them a single set. Great form was shown for so early in the season. The tennis team could not have had a better coach and manager than Mr. A. C. Taylor. He has worked hard to get the team in shape and to tune up a program. A lot of credit should be gievn Mr. Carlson, who has helped in this branch of sport. It is hoped that tennis will be established as a major sport in P.H.S. So the outcome will be looked forward to with interest. BIG Fight fSt0Pl 1925-1926 Cheer Leaders DEDICATION YELL RED FIGHT SONG .fYeIIQ F-I-G-H-T F--I--G--H--T F-I-G-H-T Fight fpause for several secondsl FIGHT-FIGHT BIG REDS --By Kesterson and Wildt In the above picture are Christy Wildt and Walter Kesterson, two of the cheerleaders of the last school year. Much credit is due these fellows who were responsible for the cheering at the games last season both in football and basketball. These two, with the other cheerleader, Charles Drollinger, were on hand at all times and ready to go. The cheering at the games throughout the last school year was handled with great skill by these three fellows and the school is proud to say that they were three of the best cheer leaders in the state and are only sorry that the two will not be with us next year. Two graduates dedicate the yell to the school and hope that it will meet with their approval. It is with this yell that Punk and Christy bid the school adieu, and hope that it may help in the time to come to cheer the players and the school on to victory. Drollinger will have the burden to carry next year, and it is with all the luck in the world that the two grads hope he is successful. , 4 A lx X X5 'ji . g re ' ' ' to Track , ROSPECTS for Track this season were not very bright for Parkersburg High School at the beginning of the season. There were only two regulars left over from last year who could be depended upon. The outlook for the track season was far below the average before the first call. But when Coaches Klingensmith and Carlsen gave the first call for all felolws J :-' 'il' that wished to try out for the track squad there were more reported to to them than they could handle. It was decide then to hold a class track meet between each class in the school, which proved to be very successful. The Seniors won the meet easily, and thus upheld its record. The coaches thenpicked the most promising and started training for the different meets. Parkersburg is now represented with a capable team that will deliver the goods. In the' initial meet of the season between St. Marys and P.H.S., the Big Red tracksters carried off the honors and won the meet by a large score. Ruttencutter of St. Marys, was the high point man of the day. Parkersburg showed great form in the dashes and runs, but fell down in the weight events considerably. Keller and Evers looked the best in the dashes, while Hines, Ellis, Powell, Hogg, Keigwin, and Dye were the best in the runs. Wentzel and Rake took great care of the hurdles in this meet. Hamric showed unusual form and threw the javelin 155 feet. The other field and weight men showed up well for the time of the year, and will soon round into form. ,ffb , Z 1 93 P l ' HE TRI-CITY MEET was held here on May the Hrst, between Charleston, Huntington, and Parkersburg. Charleston won the meet with 7015 points, 'Isl Parkersburg second with 50, Huntington third with 33M. This was the annual track meet, and was held here for the second time. Charleston was strong in the weight and field events, which was predicted, While 5 1 Parkersburg scored consistently in the sprints and distance runs. The lack of noticeable weight throwers was the main drawback of Parkersburg. Two State records were tumbled when Heydrick of Charleston tossed the discus 124 feet and 2 inches, and Fontaine, a teammate made the broad jump 21 feet, 6 inches. The record for the discus is 115 feet, held by Woosey Lewis of Charleston, while Gibby Welch, former Big Red star is holder of the broad jump record. Although the records for the Triangle meet do not count the promise of new ones at the state contest should create some interest. x X .

J' x47 , ff 7 af ' i 1 Z Parkersburg-Marietta Relay qw J, EVERAL years ago, the Y. M. C. A., of Parkersburg, and that of Marietta inaugurated a plan for a relay race between the High Schools of the two .0 gl cities to be run during the Winter season. The race is run annually between M Marietta and Parkersburg or Vice versa, the race is alternated from year year, starting at the Y. M. C. A. of one city, and relaying the message 5 5 2 from the Mayor of one city to the Mayor of the other. It is something that points out what can be done in athletics at a trying time of the year. The trophy, a large silver loving cup, was to become the permanent possession of the school Winning' it for three consecutive years. In 1924-1925, a strong team under the leadership of Harold Morris, track captain for that year won the first victory, and Parkersburg's name was engraved on the cup. The next year another successful relay team gave us two-third'S right to the cup. School spirit and traditional rivalry aroused in Marietta the determina- tion to keep us from becoming entire owners of the coveted trophy. Their runners put up a hard fight, but Captain Ellis led his teammates to victory after a trying race. As a result of the victory another fine cup has been added to the rapidly growing collection of the school. , If: I Baseball Is History In Parkersburg High School ag, ASEBALL is a thing of the past in P.H.S.. due to the lack of the famous nines in the state. This year is the first that Parkersburg High has not been represented in this sport. The passing out of the game in P.H.S. is due to the fact that there were no other high schools in the state having baseball on their athletic program. A ' GAQEJF5 It was with great sorrow that this news was learnedrfrom the Prim-- past in P.H.S. - cipal Mr H W Piggot about a month ago It was then declared a thing of the In the past Parkersburg has been represented by good baseball teams, and many fellows looked forward to this activity. In recent years.. thenines that represented our school were of the highest calibre, and were very successful in their games and contests. C J Under the leadership of Coach Harvey Young last year's nine 'lost but one game, and that to a much more experienced team than an average with the last baseball team that will represent P. H. S. for a number of years at the least. It is hoped by the fans and followers of the national game that in a few years other high schools in the state will enter into this great old game again for the love of the game alone. When they do, I am sure Parkersburg High School will be one of the first in line for a good schedule, and will return to the diamond with the bats and equipment that P.H.S. has ready for use. The sight of the bat and water boy is half of the thrill when this great old game is introduced in the State of W. Va., for the second time. The history of baseball in P.H.S. stands out in our memory, and above all the other, the Varsity of twenty-two. On this outfit were the undefeatables such as we remember them. The lineup was as follows: Johnny Hushion, Captain, played the title role of short, Russ Hardman was the man on the mound, while Willard Trainor was on the other end receiving the ballg Skillet Wayne Funk was holding down first base with great workg Clarence King had the second bag of sawdust well under his command with Harold Dirty Ahner covering the third base which he did like a pro. Then We find in left field none other than George Joyce, with little Will Beck- with in the center, while Fluharty in right field was doing great work in Freshman year. Others on the squad were Mac and Walt McHenry, Jim Young, the sport writer for the Sentinel at present, and with these and several more, Parkersburg High School had an undefeated team in the State High School circles. The team that I have just mentioned was under the sponsorship of Mr. Mellick who installed in that team the knowledge of the national game and also part of his good nature. With this in mind we will stand by until that great old game of baseball makes itself known in P.H.S. again. ' ' 15.4-' Y 5 72' Intramural O -N 1925 when Mr J D Kibler was Supervisor of Physical Training in the ' ' little success on account of the time it takes to put it on a sound J'-isis Coach Thomas was xery busy w1th football and Mr Kibler had his hands ,cp 0 . . . , Parkersburg Schools, and in the high school at that time. It had very R -ul Q n I in . g . 1. . full putting on the program in the grade schools, where it was Very successful, however, during the fall season many boys took part in football, barrel- ball, volley ball, kitten ball, and cage ball. This year three definite football teams were organized, and class teams were formed in the above mentioned events. It was not until Coach Nessley came to us that Intramural was what it should be. Mr. Nessley came to us from Denison University, and understood the plan of intramural athletics and established it on a firm foundation. He alone deserves the full credit for this, and now, and her we, the Senior Class of June '26, wish to express our thanks to him and all of those concerned. The last year has marked the real good of intramural in Parkersburg, and to the members and participants that engaged in the different events. Mr. Nessley had a special program arranged between those teams that were the participants. Educators over the entire country have felt an urgent need of some type of games that would have a larger scope, and at the same time have lasting influence on the students. As a result intramural games were introduced in many high schools, colleges and universities. Intramural, translated means within the walls. Then, what we hope to ac- complish is to have every boy in the high school participate in some game of a recreational nature. As the idea grows, more and more equipment and facilities will be provided. Some of the outstanding objectives of intramural games are recreation and good use of leisure time, social contacts, which develop more self c0nHdence and better sportsmanship, promoting class spirit, better health, through the development of the large muscles and internal organs, the creation of a permanent interest in sports, bodily prowess, agility, and the development of varsity material. With better organization and with plenty of interest and enthusiasm on the part of the students, it is reasonable to expect that within two or three years seventy- five percent of the boys of P.H.S. will be participating in some athletic activity, at least twice per week during the entire year. The intramural contests staged during the fall season were tennis, horshoe, voley and speed ball tournaments, while this spring the class basketball tournament was the main go with wrestling and boxing next. We, the Senior Class of nineteen twenty-six hope that intramural athletics will develop into the thing it should be in Parkersburg High School. .gi 417 ff, V '-'-'semi The Big Red Council Eva UST after school started this year Coach Novak called a meeting of all Q letter men in the school. Q In this meeting he told them of what he-S wished to accomplish, and his means. He gave a short description of the letter club at Cedar gqgge Rapids, and its success along the athletic line. Next he presented the proposition of forming a letter club in Parkersburg High School. All fel- lows present at this meeting were in favor of' it, so a day was set for meeting. This day was Wednesday at noon, which was later changed to Tuesday after school. By this change the club had more time to do business. In the first meeting the oliicers were elected. Mr. Swyers was elected President, later Vice-President Holden took the chair on Swyer's resignation, Jack Holden, Vice- President, and Bud Evers Secretary. The constitution was started and in the next five meetings material was gotten together for it. The club now has a good constitution, and a very complete set of by-laws. ' The club has been very successful since its start. Anything pertaining to athq letics is taken before the club and is acted upon. The letter has been changed from a white ten inch letter to an eight inch red letter, with a narrow white band on the outside. These letters are quite expensive and much more attractive than the old ones. The absence of Coach Novak a few weeks ago was noticed in the club, but now it is progressing rapidly under the leadership of Mr. Carlsen. At the present time the officers of the club are: Jack Holden, Presidentg Robert Powell, Vice-Presidentg Selden Humphrey, Secretaryg and Ed. Keigman, Treasurer. With the start the club has after only one year's experience it is thought that in the next few years it will be the largest and best in the school. V - 'Ai g ff! 7 4 'X .

Are you trying to secure your share of the honors P.H.S. has to offer you? When you think of this just what kind of honors come into your mind? Prob- ably the honor of winning a prize of money is the one that is foremost in your thoughts. Let's think of this kind now. First are the Nathan and Prager Scholarship awards, open to all students under fifteen. Mr. Ben Nathan awards four prizes of thirty dollars each to the four girls in the city schools between the ages of nine and fifteen, who have the highest scholastic records: and Mr. Prager does the same for the boys. Second are the J. J. and Harriet C. West prizes for ability in debating extem- poraneous speaking, oration, and essay. All students in High School may participate in the West Contests every year, and the winner of each event secures the prize, and that which is even better-the honor that goes with it. The J. Madison Jackson awards go to the two Seniors, boy and girl, who have the highest scholastic records of any athlete in that class. These prizes are thirty dollars each. It is an honor to win any of the above prizes, as you stand out as the best in any one of the departments in which you are interested. Now let's put the honor of winning money aside for awhile and discover some other kinds of honor in our school. How about the honor of being respected, well liked, and looked up to by your fellow students. Is not that just as great. if not greater, than winning money. It is time that nothing comes to the man who doesn't work. Is it an idler who is elected as a class ofiicer? Is the Torch and Scroll Society and the debating team made up of those kind of students who take things easy? Is the oustanding football and basketball player the person who waits for the other fellow to begin? Are the students that graduate from P.H.S. with Honors and High Honors those people who go through school without any effort on their part to succeed? No! They are workers, striving for the honor that they have succeeded and done their best.

It costs no more than other locks and is superior in many ways. It cannot collapse or expand, is absolutely smoke tight and very easy to put together. Rivets and tools are'unnecessary :is with an ordinary screw driver and a turn of the wrist you have a perfect joint pipe, complete in every de- tail. It is not necesarsy to fold the two middle tongues when using the full length joint, and should fractional joints be required the joint may be cut at any point and each piece wil have at firm lock.

First are the Nathan and Prager Scholarship awards, open to all students under fifteen. Mr. Ben Nathan awards four prizes of thirty dollars each to the four girls in the city schools between the ages of nine and fifteen, who have the highest scholastic records: and Mr. Prager does the same for the boys. Second are the J. J. and Harriet C. West prizes for ability in debating extem- poraneous speaking, oration, and essay. All students in High School may participate in the West Contests every year, and the winner of each event secures the prize, and that which is even better-the honor that goes with it. The J. Madison Jackson awards go to the two Seniors, boy and girl, who have the highest scholastic records of any athlete in that class. These prizes are thirty dollars each. It is an honor to win any of the above prizes, as you stand out as the best in any one of the departments in which you are interested. Now let's put the honor of winning money aside for awhile and discover some other kinds of honor in our school. How about the honor of being respected, well liked, and looked up to by your fellow students. Is not that just as great. if not greater, than winning money. It is time that nothing comes to the man who doesn't work. Is it an idler who is elected as a class oiiicer? Is the Torch and Scroll Society and the debating team made up of those kind of students who take things easy? Is the oustanding football and basketball player the person who waits for the other fellow to begin? Are the students that graduate from P.H.S. with Honors and High Honors those people who go through school without any eHort on their part to succeed? No! They are workers, striving for the honor that they have succeeded and done their best.

It costs no more than other locks and is superior in many ways. It cannot collapse or expand, is absolutely smoke tight and very easy to put together. Rivets and tools are unnecessary :is vith an ordinary screw driver and a turn of the wrist you have a perfect joint pipe, complete in every de- tail. It is not necesarsy to fold the two middle tongues when using the full length joint, and should fractional joints be required the joint may be cut at any point and each piece wil have a firm lock. P8.1'k9l'Sllll1'g Fourlok Stove Pipe is packed in substantial wooden crates similar to the il- lustration-a method that has proven its su- periority in many ways over the ordinary paper cartons and round crates. The end pieces 2 inches by 7-8 inches, the side pieces 2 inches by 5-8 inches, all of clean dressed poplar, are put together with large cement coated nails, and reinforced Vl'ilH wide steel bands, which, combined with the heavy Kraft Paper envelopes with which the pipe is enclosed, makes a complete pro- tection against rough handling, dust and dampness.

By MARGUERITE STEPHENS There are fads to worry Mother, There are fads to worry Dad, There are lipstick rouge and powder, But they aren't the only fads. Sometime ago there was a fad, To have a book of autographs, And every time you turned around, Please write a paragraph. But the latest fad, No one knows where it was found, It might have dropped from heaven, Or sprouted from the ground. The fellows thought it terrible, When the girls all wore galoshes, But someone please tell me, Who invented those mustaches. 11101011131111:11o11ri01o1011xi1 1 3:1 10 201 101:01 1 1 in 1 101010101 10301111102 FREE A 4.00 Waffle Iron With The Purchase Of AN ARMSTRONG TABLE STOVE It combines in one Unit a Grill, a Toaster, and a Waffle Iron.

Our second year was the most fun of all For there we could the Freshmen maul, But still it Was a hard row to hoe Striving in intellect to grow. The third year was the hardest of all And some of us did by the wayside fall But most had the grit of a Boston Bull pup, And with goal in sight we didn't give up. Then came the most glorious of all the years But not without effort and trial and tears And a goal well worth working for we attained And none of us so much as complained. Now our study goes on in a broader field Where our tools for life's work we will try to wield Now We'11 try to make our dear high school proud That it helped to educate this crowd. 0590201010: inrinioioinioznioizli 3 xc 14111021 ,Q A I Zeer!
