He is the fun-maker of the Senior Class. He delights in teasing the teachers, but nevertheless he is al- ways at the top. Rodney is the smallest boy in the class. VERNA KATHERINE CRAWFORD She is neat, not gaudy. When it comes to studies Kather- ine outshines them all. She partici- pates in all social affairs and is the leader of our class. SUE WELLS FREDLOCK If to her sh,m'e some female errors fall, Look on her face and you'Il forgive 'em all. Tall and erect, she always makes her presence known among others. She is a friend to everyone in school. MARGARET WILNETTA JENKINS Good stuff comes in small packages. She takes part in all class activi- ties and says, I'd rather belong to P. H. S. than any other school. She was a little bashful girl, but since she has met Willie she has changed. Page sixteen lea! NELLIE KEPLINGER Fools 'rush in where angels fem' lo tread. Nellie is the gossip of the Sen- ior ass. Her tongue is always a W n. She is so short she can't step far, but by her quick motions she gets there just the same. EVA GRACE KNOTT Deeds, not words. Grace is always peaceful and stud- ious. She is the quietest girl in the Senior Class but not the most ignor- ant. ROBERTA MAE MORRISON At whose sight all the stars hide their diminished heads. We think everyone is acquainted with this prim maiden because of her ability to vamp. Roberta takes part in social events and for that reason we chose her as social editor of Tris. Although she is active she never neglects her studies. -' SYLVIE NAZZARIO 'fBuilt for endumnce and not for speed. Sylvie is a quiet boy who possesses much class spirit. Say eats to Syl- vie and he is certain to be there. Page seventeen . new MARY VIRGINIA OATES Her ways are 'ways of pleasantness, and ull her paths are peace. Mary is always in for a lark. She sticks to her studies but is al- ways on hand when she hears of a party. She travels clear from Luke to become one of the merry Seniors of P. H. S. ENID GENEVIEVE OURS 'A A clear consciemfc is fl sure cm'd. In the school activities this year Enid has proved very active. She is poet of the class, and is always will- ing to work. HORACE HOFFMAN RICHARDS Greater men than I may have lived, but I d'on't believe il. Ritchie's ambition is to become a movie hero. One of his favorite requests is for a dime, as he has the habit of forgetting his money. ELIZABETH SCOTT My heart is as true as steel. Elizabeth is always ready to argue. She would have the last word if it took her all night. You can't get ahead of Scotty. Page eighteen I Jaime ' l CHARLES EVERS SMITH Talk to him of Jarob's Ladder and he , would ask how many steps. Evers is a good little boy for his size. His greatest ambition is to be a second Rudolph Valentino. Bub- bles is our star player on the bas- ket ball team and he is well liked by all who know him. CHARLES MELVIN SULLIVAN Suddenly ai thought came like a full grown rose, flushing his brow. Melvin is the champion forward on our basket ball team and the chief amusement in Salesmanship Class. He has the reputation of being the stubbornest boy in the class. Page nineteen ' 'x, HS 1 I H 4 V 4, Jw i H 1 My E i m N V I Vx K W?

As one looks back over the noll of the Class of '26, one will see that a large number of our class members have dropped out during our Sophomore and Junior years. We entered as Freshmen into P. H. S. in September 1922. The main event in our Freshman year was the reception which was given in honor of us by the upper classmen. At the end of this year we had a grand yelling as We passed from the Freshman year into the next year. Our Sophomore year was more eventful than our Freshman year. In this year we looked down upon the Freshmen with scorn and pity. When the examinations were over several of our members dropped from the ranks. Our Junior year was the biggest of all. Our thoughts turned to the Junior Fair, which we hoped to make better than any one else ever had. At the end of our Junior year we took the Seniors to Romney, where we enter- tained them with a chicken supper. In September, 1925, we entered P. H. S. with the expectation of publish- ing the best Tris ever published in the history of P. H. S. During our four years of school life, the members of the Senior class have worked hard toward their goal. We have now reached the point Where we must say good-bye to all our teachers, friends and school chums who have encouraged and helped us to reach our goal.

This year we entered P. H. S. as jolly Juniors. And jolly we are. Our pranks and tricks cause our teachers many a sigh. Yet, we have learned in former years that high school life isn't all play and no work. So, therefore, we cast our capers aside at times, and get down to brass tacks. After getting organized this year we set to work on the Junior Fair. It was our determination to make our fair surpass all of the Junior Fairs of previous years. And we are positive that we succeeded in our enterprise. The fair was held in Laughlin's hall on Friday the thirteenth of November. The crowds of previous years were a warning to us that the P. H. S. gym- nasium would not have the capacity to hold the crowd that we believed would be present at our fair. Laughlin's hall looked like the fairy dell on Friday the thirteenth. Thelma and Louise presided at the novelty booth. They declared that they had enough confetti to last them until next Hal- lowe'en. Bus thought that Margaret and Lorna weren't sweet enough so he gave them the candy booth. Ida and Laura Belle certainly did shine when it came to hot dogs and hamburger sandwiches. Beatrice and Ruth superintended the ice cream and pop booth. 'Tis reported that they ate more than they sold, but that's neither here nor there. Of course, Thelma Coddington was at her best in that gypsy costume. All the boys flocked to her booth to have their fortunes told. They thought it was so thrilling to have such an attractive girl holding their hand for a few minutes. On the whole the Junior Fair was a great success. Since the fair the Juniors have been very quiet. They are working hard so that the Senior year will be as successful as their Junior year has proved to be. We are looking forward to our Senior year with many hopes, expectations and dreams. We want the J. C. Rhodes class to be the biggest and best class that has ever graduated from P. H. S.

We entered on our first year of high school with a determination that the close of the year would find us full-fiedged Sophomores. We were rather timid at first, but we gained cour- age as the year advanced. The Freshman reception was the first real fear we experienced, but we stood the test all O. K. and had a delightful time. The class was divided equally between the Yorkist and Lancastrian Literary Societies. - . We entered on our Sophomore year with the same enthusiasm as we had when starting our first year. We had become acquainted with our teach- ers and the high school ways, and felt more at home, therefore we anticipat- ed no trouble. We have taken part in all the activities of P. H.

After a few days we learned it was not going to be such an' easy time. Now, I hope the majority of the class is trying to succeed in their Work. Our first great worry in high school life was the Greenies Reception. When the night of this fateful event arrived We gathered in P. H. S. to be led into the mysteries surrounding the high school. After the ordeal was over we found we were not injured in any possible way, only a little Wiser. Pjcrotin there on we have become better acquainted with both teachers and s u ents. We are participating in the various activities of the school, and hope to keep the same spirit throughout the coming years. GLADYS L.

She was about five feet five inches high, had dark hair, and blue eyesg in other words she was a very pretty girl. Having finished eight grades in a country school Kate decided that she wanted to finish high school. As a result she came to Scottdale to stay with her Aunt Sarah while she went to Scottdale High School.. Kate got along very well in her studies and was a member of the basket ball team at Scottdale. Having told you about Kate, let us go on with the story. At this time we find Kate in her room trying to study for her last exam- ination that is to take place the following morning. She had got a letter that day from home saying that her mother was ill. In her mind she was fighting a battle. Should she study for the examination or should she go home to see her mother? This was the question that confronted her. At last she decided to go home and stay all night. Kate lived ten miles out of Scottdale. She told her aunt and was soon on her way home. It was half past eight when she arrived at her house. She stayed with her mother all night and started back to Scottdale early in the morning. She arrived at her aunt's house just in time to get breakfast and to arrive at school on time. On her way to school Kate happened to remember about the examina- tion that morning. She had been :so excited that she had forgotten to even look at the book. The examination was to be on a subject that Kate always fell down in, English. But 'she decided to say nothing about her trip the night before. At last the examination was over. It was the last one too, but Kate knew that she had failed to pass the course, because she didn't have good dai- ly grades and had failed to know the material asked for in the examination. She felt so bad about this that she had to tell some one, so she confided in her best friend, Alice Robinson. She told her about her trip home, but made Alice prom.ise to keep it a secret. The girls on the Scottdale basket ball team were to play the next week for the championship of the Eastern Section of the State of West Virginia. The star forward on the team was Kate. But now she would not be allowed to play because she had failed in one study. There was a rule in Scottdale High School that if a person on the team failed to make at least seventy in every subject he or 'she would not be allowed to play on the team. Scottdale was the only high school around that section that had such a peculiar rule. Many attempts had been made to change this ruling but at the time of our story it still stood. At last the night for the big game came. Many students had gone to the superintendent, Mr. Brookes, and asked him to let Kate play in the game. Page fifty-one ,. Pa 1926 1 But their visits were in vain, because he always gave the same answer, A rule is a rule. As a result Kate was not put in as forward. The substitute for Kate missed basket after basket that Kate would have made. In fact, she couldn't even hold the ball. So we can readily see why the score at the end of the first quarter was four to eight in favor of ScottdaIe's opponents. As Kate sat on the side line watching Scottdale's Wonderful record be- ing ruined by incompetent players she fought a battle with her conscience. Something within her made her want to tell Mr. Brookes her story but still her pride kept her from saying anything to him. Then the whistle blew. One half of the game was over. The last quar- ter had been worse for Scottdale than the first one because they had not scored one point the whole quarter. Everybody realized that if Kate would be put in the game, Scottdale would have a chance. Alice knew that if she would tell Mr. Brookes Why Kate had failed to make a passing mark in Eng- lish that Kate would be put into the game. Still she hesitated. She had promised Kate not to tell anyone. When the whistle for the first half blew, Kate was still undecided. But as soon as she saw the score, which was four to fourteen, she made up her mind to tell Mr. Brookes. She told him and he said that she could be put in the game immediately and that she would have another examination in English. So when the third quarter started Kate was put in as forward. The crowd yelled because they knew that Scottdale had a chance now. No sooner had the game started than Kate began to make baskets. She could get away from her guard, so this made scoring, for Kate, an easy job. At the end of the third quarter the game was a tie, fourteen to fourteen. Such yelling had never been heard in Scottdale gym- nasium. The fourth quarter started out with first a basket for Scottdale and then a basket for their opponents. This kept up until one minute before the game ended. The score was twenty to twenty. Kate realized that there was but a moment to play and she roused her already exhausted body for one more attempt. With cat-like agility she caught the pass from the cen- ter and evaded the ever-present guard. Just as the ball left her hands the referee's whistle shrilly sounded the end of the contest. The ball hit the backboard, twirled around the edge of the basket and then swished through the net. The crowd hardly realized the significance of the shot but they rose in one mighty yell to pay honor to Scottdale High School and Kate. EVA ABRAMSON '27 Page fifty-two IRHSQI 192-6 y illilarjnrp wins It was one of those beautiful June evenings. The stars were beginning to twinkle like diamonds in the sky. Marjory wandered across the fields and through the meadows until she came to her old resort, the river. Flinging herself on the ground she began to think of the many disappointments and failures in her life. Even now her mother and father had gone to Wash- ington and had taken with them her two sisters, Betty and Jane. Yes, she reflected, they always take Betty and Jane with them, but I am always left behind. But that wasn't her only sorrow. There were many, many more. Her mother and father would never allow her to go out at night unless they were with her, while her younger sister, Betty, who was only fifteen years old, was allowed to stay out as late as she liked, and was even allowed to have beaux. Yet, these were mere trifles compared to the one other sorrow of her life. The face of Jack Preston passed through her memory. Jack had been the snly boy for whom she had ever cared anything-yet, she had fail- ed to secure his love. Marjory was a beautiful young girl, seventeen years of age. She had black, curly hair and dark brown eyes. The next season she expected to en- ter her last mile of high school life. As the moon beamed down on her it made her more beautiful to look upon. While she was sitting there by the river, dreamily looking over it and thinking of Jack, she heard a rustling of a bush back of her and upon turning around she came face to face with Jack. This is indeed a pleasure , Miss Brown. I hope I am not intruding, he exclaimed. No indeed ! Marjory responded. This is an old resort of mine and I came down tonight because I was feeling rather lonely. Mother and father are away. If that is the case I am going to take the privilege of talking with you for awhile. You don't mind, do you? Marjory answered that she didn't so they began to chat like old friends. The conversation drifted from one thing to another. Finally, they ceased talking and looked over the river wondering what to say next. Marjory, said Jack nervously after a few minutes had elapsed, there is something I would like to tell you to-night. Do you remember the first day you entered high school ? That is a day I will never forget. Well, Marjory, do you remember that I was standing in the hall when you went into the assembly room and that you looked at me so shyly ? Yes, hesitatingly, yes, I remember that very well. Jack's voice began to tremble as he said in husky whispers, Marjory, Page fifty-three tell rl from that day I have loved you. You do not know the agony that I have un- dergone because of my love for you. Marjory, everyone knows the way in which your mother and father treat you and that has held me from telling you what is in my heart. But to-night I could stand it no longer. I had to tell you my real feelings for you. Marjory, please don't be angry with me because I would never have spoken this, had it not been the truth. My love for you is not what is called puppy-love, mine is the real, genuine, old-fash- ioned love. After a moment's pause he added tenderly, Marjory, dear, do you thing the same of me ? For a few minutes Marjory was silent, then without raising her eyes she said, Yes, Jack, I do love you. In fact, I have loved you since the first time I ever saw you. But-well, you know, Jack, that I am too young to think seriously of any boy, yet somehow, you are so different that I can't help loving you. Marjory, will you be true to me until-well, this time next year you will be eighteen and I will be twenty-one and then-? his eyes looked questioningly at hers. A lot can happen inside of a year but if my affections are the same as they are now, I will be true. The couple walked slowly toward the gate at the end of the BroWn's property. When it came time for them to part Jack asked, Marjory, may I lliiss you good night? It may be the last I'll see you for quite awhile, you now. Marjory reflected for a few minutes before she answered, No, Jack, I feel that a kiss would bind me to you. So they parted with the assurance that they loved each other. The summer months dragged slowly by and at last the school days be- gan. Marjory, as usual, was at the head :of her class. Still with it all she was not happy. In her heart she had resolved to win, to make her mother and father proud of her and to make them love her as well as they loved her other two sisters. But how to do this was the next question. After Christmas the basket ball season started. One night there was a big game between a rival team and the high school which Marjory attend- ed. On that particular night Marjory noticed one of the boys of her school, who had always tried to play on the first team but who had always seemed to fail, sitting on the bench with the players. When the first half was over this boy was called in to play and he played so well that he was considered the star for that night. All the way home Marjory was thinking, If he wfon, I can win too. And from that night on she tried harder than ever to win the love and confidence of her parents. She became more obedient and considerate and did many little loving deeds. A few nights after Marjory had made the resolution she met her lover, Jack Preston. She immediately confided her secret to him and when they Page fifty-four Vial parted she said, Jack, I am determined to wing I must win, for if I Win Mother's and Father's confidence, they will consent to my going with you. With these words and a winning smile she left Jack who stood looking after her with a puzzled look on his face. She's a dream, a reality, and a treasure, was his only comment. By the time commencement day came-and it came on Marjory's eigh- teenth birthday-Marjory was considered the sweetest tempered and the most loving and attractive girl of her graduating class. She carried off all honors. She was valedictorian of her class and she received the medal for being best all-around student. When she reached home, after her gradua- tion, her mother took her in her arms and said, Marjory, you are the pride of my life. Her father entered the room just then and added, Yes, and Marjory, We haven't appreciated you enough, We haven't been good enough to you so tolnight we are going to do a little spontaneous celebrating. You Will please walk into the front room and wait until we put the eats on the table. Marjory picked up a book and with a glad and happy heart she walked toward the front room. But on the threshold she stopped. To her utter as- tonishment she found herself looking into the happy face of Jack Preston. Marjory, they've consented, exclaimed the happy boy. Oh, Jack, I've won. It was too much for Jack. He came forward and taking Marjory in his arms he asked tenderly, pleadingly, May I please, Marjory ? She dropped her eyes for a moment and then raising them to his she softly answered, Yes. MARY K. LOVENSTEIN '27 E ,N '27 WA Q1 .11 2 YQ., Page fifty-five IRHS u 19262-H baping Guuhhpe We always have some feeling of dread when we say parting words to our friends and there is even some disagreeable trait in watching others go through the ceremony. , We have dozens of ways of saying good-bye: There is the heavy, heart- rending farewell uttered between sobs that somehow stirs in us some inner emotion. The son leaving the farm says farewell or good-bye, never Au re- voir. His leave may be long and the parting words said really are serious But here is the flapper getting on the train. She jumps aboard, blows a light kiss to whom she is leaving and her high-pitched voice throws back her Ta-ta, old chapf' and no tears take place. We Watch two college young men, one boarding the train, the other standing on the platform. There is usually a handshake, determined by the station .of the young men, or, in other words, whether they are in for foot- ball or Shakespeare. After this scene there is some parting such as Car- bolic acid, or otherwise. By the way, carbolic acid means good-bye in any language. There is the good fellow that crushes our fingers to-gether so that we must pry them apart, and he calls a so-long and we feel not sad at the parting, but perhaps glad that our hands still contain the regular number of fingers. We meet the chap who has read Zane Grey. He says Adios, doffs his hat and in regular Spanish fashion leaves us. The girl we meet just back from finishing school always departs with Au revoirf' We see them all at the station, at school, everywhere in fact. we smile perhaps, but when we, ourselves, have to say good-bye to someone, we take it all back, and have the same old feeling of dread, and what we would like to say is Jump in the lake or something meaning an' absolute good-bye. Then we have the Seniors, the class of 1926, bidding good-bye to the school loved by us so long. We have reached the ideal toward which we have been plodding for four, short, happy years. In these four years there are many things which we may look back upon, always recalling pleasant mem- ories. There are pals and sweethearts and teachers, all associated with our greatest dreams, but yet we must leave them, cease to lean upon them for encouragement, provide our own initiative, learn by our own mistakes, and at last come through life's journey scathed, but able to look back on a better world. So now we say this farewell to old P. H. S. May God give you the best, may your teachers enjoy life's richest blessings, and last in this hour of good-byes, old school, keep that clean fighting spirit-the spirit that fights to the end. ENID G. OURS '26 Page fifty-six X fa Z1 jaigbt nf Ztaurrur The night was calm and still. The owls with their weird hoots occa- sionally broke the stillness of the night. The moon had been shining, but a passing cloud came between this orb and the earth, causing a dense black- ness. A dog somewhere in the distance howled ominously. At this moment a cry broke upon the air-such a piercing cry that would have caused one's blood to run cold. :F is X SF The Sabbath dawned calm and clear. Duncan I-Ball, the hall which had been the scene of great festivities the previous night, lay peacefully dozing under the warm sun. But presently the castle took on a more active ap- pearance as the inmates began stirring around. Lord Duncan, the beloved master of the castle, was a handsome man of forty years. He and his wife and one son, Albert, lived happily in their castle. Lord Duncan was a descendant of one of the oldest families in Eng- land, and he and his family were loved and respected by all who knew them. Duncan had one secret from the world and that was his brother, Geor- ges. Georges was a lunatic from birth, and Duncan kept him in a room in the top of the castle, Where he was secluded from the world. No one ex- cept the family and the servants, whom Duncan trusted faithfully, knew of Georges' existence. He was not a raving maniac, but if excited he would be dangerous. He was fascinated by any sort of jewels and would never rest until he had a number of them, so Duncan kept him well supplied with imi- tations. The previous night Duncan had celebrated the sixteenth birthday of his son by inviting the nobility of England to be present when he bestowed upon his son a certain valuable ring set with brilliant and costly jewels. This ring had been passed from generation to generation to the oldest son in the family on his sixteenth birthday. Thus when Albert reached this age the customary ceremony was celebrated. This morning as Lord and Lady Duncan sat in the dining room discuss- ing the night's entertainment, Milly, a faithful old servant, rushed toward the-m, her face deathly white and her eyes amazingly wide. When she re- covered her breath she exclaimed, He's dead! Who ? came from Lady Duncan as she sprang to her feet. Oh Albert, my poor, poor boy I wailed Milly. Wha-What's that ? stammered Duncan. He stood staring at Milly, and wondered if he didn't have two lunatics in the house. Oh, when I passed Albert's room this morning I saw a smear of blood on the door, and when I went inside there lay Albert in a pool of blood, with a slit in his throat. Oh! Oh l A little cry broke from Lady Duncan as she sank to the floor in a heap. Page fifty-seven l ,. I Fllll5 I 1926 j Her husband sent for all the servants and, after attending to Lady Duncan, rushed up to Albert's room and saw a scene too horrible to describe. My boy! My boy! To think that your life is cut off just when was beginning to have much hope for you! Who could want to take your inno- cent life ? As the bereaved father mourned over his son, the cook burst into the room and exclaimed, Master Georges is gone! When I Went to take his breakfast this morning I found his room empty and my keys gone! Duncan jumped to his feet with Oh, I see now. Georges killed him to get the ring, for see! it is gone! But how did he see the ring, since he was- n't present at the ceremony? Sir, I couldn't find my keys to his room this morning. He must have taken them from me when I carried up his supper yesterday evening g then last night, hearing all the talking and laughing, he must have sneaked out of his room and in this way saw Albert receive the ring. Would that such a custom as bestowing that infernal ring upon one's son had never been established and I would still have my boy! But We will find that fiend Georges, and he shall pay, yes, he shall pay dear for my boy's death. So help me God I After a hasty meal and a tearful farewell from Lady Duncan, the be- reaved father and his seven faithful servants set out in search of the mur- derer. There was a dense forest on the outside of the Duncan grounds, and through this forest Duncan led his servants. They plodded on and on, searching every hiding place available, but not a trace of Georges could be found. Daylight darkened into night and still the little band kept on. A- bout midnight they stopped to build a fire and rest. As they sat there a faint noise rustled the leaves just outside the circle of light made by the fire. Duncan signalled the men to be on their guard, and the seven m.en sat ready to jump at another sound. Staring into the darkness one of the men perceived just behind Duncan a crouching figure with tousled head and shining eyes. The man sat transiixed, unable to speak. The figure crept sliowly up behind Duncan and with a triumphant snarl he jumped and - Wo e up. K.AfrHlER1NE CRAWFOIRD '26 '63 Page fifty-eight f ,, QH5 ' , 1926 ' l 3H1Iarie's Qliaster llaat Marie Simpson rushed into the kitchen where her mother was prepar- ing the evening meal and exclaimed, Oh Mother! I have just seen the prettiest Easter hat imaginable at Mrs. Hardy's shop. It's tan with pink rosebuds, foliage, and black velvet ribbon, and just think, it's only ten dol- lars. Ten dollars! I don't think that is cheap. Oh Mother, don't say I can't get it. Grace Meredith is paying twelve dollars for hers. Her father makes that in one day, where your daddy only makes half of that, besides she is an only child, and there are three of you children. But Mother, Mable can wear her old one, and George only needs a cap and suit. I think I heard a certain young lady say that she would be the one to wear the last summer's hat this year when Mable volunteered to wear hers a second summer last year, said her mother with a sigh. She felt very sad over her oldest daughter's selfishness. Oh but Mother, listen, I am invited to Grace's lawn fete and I can wear it then too. Well, help me with the supper and then we'll talk the matter over this evening with Mable, as I think she ought to have a new hat this season. After the supper things were all put away, the family gathered around the pleasant fire in the sitting room as it was a cold day in March. Marie waited for her mother to broach the subject of the hat. At last Marie couldxstand it no longer, so she said to Mable, Did you see that tan hat in Mrs. Hardy's window as you came from school? Yes, Mattie Wilson told me that you said you were going to get it. I thought y-ou told Mother you were going to wear your last year's hat two summers, said Mable with a smile. That was last summer, though you see. I positively can't wear it this year. What would a new dress look like without a new hat, and on Easter, too ? The one you want costs ten dollars. I don't think Mother can afford that much for one hat. As for me, I don't want any for Easter, but Mother can buy me one later. Who is this I hear doesn't want a new Easter hat? I thought all girls wanted a new one then, her father said. Mable says she doesn't, said Marie. , I And why don't you. if I may ask ? I have my reasons for not wanting one. I'll tell you after Easter, Page fifty-nine l l p ,g as l then I'll call on you for one. Don't think you are going to get off altogeth- er. Her daddy laughed. He was used to his younger daughter's ways, knowing from past experience that her tastes were simple and her demands few. Very well, I'll expect to hear about it all after Easter. Then turn- ing to his eldest daughter, he said, How much do I understand yours is to cost ? The one I want is ten dollars. Whoopie! you're going to make an expensive wife for somebody. Your Mother and you girls will have to settle this. It is not in my line of busi- ness. All right daddy, that suits me. Then turning to her mother she said, Do I get the hat ? No, I can't do as you ask unless your sister gives over to you as usual. Remember she wore her old one last year. I only have ten dollars left from the amount your father gave me for our Easter clothes, this was to buy you both one. If Mable will wait a few weeks later for hers? How about it Mable ? Well Mother, let Marie have the hat if her heart is set on it. But Moth- er, you ought to look at it first, for I don't think it is worth that much. Why people spend a lot of money for dresses and hats I don't understand. All I want is a pot of Easter lilies if I may have them. I Sure, you may have them. Two if one is not enough, said her father. Thank you, one is all I want. The matter was settled to the satisfaction of all concerned. The Week before Easter was a busy one for the two girls, each for her own pleasure. Marie made two or three trips to the dress-makers, and bought her hat, which her mother admired, but still thought too expensive, praying all the time that she would learn from her younger sister. Mabel's week was full of duties, but of a different kind. Her Sunday School Class, The King's Daughters, with a membership of eight girls, ranging from thirteen to fifteen years of age, were to sing Easter carols at the morning service, led by their teacher, Miss Alice West. The class reported for practice three afternoons. They also helped col- or eggs and make paper baskets for the Primary Department. Miss West told them it would be nice for each one to find a shut in and carry her a potted Easter lily. It was Good Friday and Mable hadn't been able to iind a sick person among her circle of friends yet. This being a holiday, Mable thought she would take a walk to the West end of the town. Telling her mother of her plan and getting her permission she made her way out there. The streets were crowded with children playing. Their mothers work- ed by the day. Mable's attention was drawn to a little girl with yellow hair ' Page sixty l ltr! and blue eyes standing all alone at the curb. Mable was drawn to her by her wistful blue eyes. She went up to her and asked her if she didn't like to play. They won't let me, say I am too little. What is your name 7 Mable asked. Mamma calls me Flossie. What does your papa call you ? My daddy went away to be with Jesus, Mamma said so. Oh! I am so sorry. and where is mamma now, at work ? No, she is sick and told me to come out and beg something to eat. I can't find- Take me to your mother. Maybe I can help her. Oh, will you please. She followed Flossie up three flights of stairs and after opening the door at the left, Flossie said, Mamma here is a girl comed to see you. Her mother didn't answer as she was asleep. Don't wake her, said Mable, I'll wait awhile. She took survey of the room. It was bare of furniture except for the bed, one chair, and a small table with some empty dishes on it. Calling Flos- sie to her she asked, Has mamma had a doctor yet ? No, she said, Mamma ain't got no money. Just then her mother awoke. Mable went to her bedside and asked if she could do anything for her. She looked at Mable, and said, Did God send you in answer to my prayers? I expect He did if you asked Him to send someone. Now tell me what I can do for you ? If you would get Flossie something to eat, I would be glad. You would like to have some milk would you not ? I would rather Flossie had something to eat first as she is hungry. Well, I'll go and get something. Will be back in a little while. Going to a store near by she purchased milk, tea, sugar, eggs, crackers, and coffee with some money she had in her pocket. She also telephoned for Dr. Wallace to come out there at once. Gathering up her parcels she went back to the flat. Arriving there, she gave Flossie some crackers and milk 3 then she said to the mother, You wait a few minutes, I have phoned for Dr. Wallace to come out. Why did you do that? I am not able to pay him. Don't worry about that, he is a friend of mine, I'1l attend to that. A few minutes later the doctor arrived, a kind, good man. Well, Ma- ble, what is wrong and what are you doing out here? Oh, I came out to see this lady and found her ill. You do all you can ll lf CI C6 Page sixty-one V new for her and I'll see you are paid. That is all right. Now I'll see what is Wrong here. After a few questions he gave Mable a prescription to have filled, and said he would call in the morning. Mable followed him into the hall and ask- ed, What is the matter with her ? Starvation said the doctor bluntly. Good food is what she needs more than anything else. She'll get that all right, said Mable. She went back to the room thinking, Here is work for The King's Daughters. Then she prepared some food for the mother and told her she would call again that evening. Hurring home, she told her mother about it, and asked if she could carry her some food. M 5 Of course, my dear, I'll go with you. So Mable returned the same evening accompanied by her mother. They took a basket of food, and Mable had found a shut in to give her lily to. As soon as Mable entered the room Flossie cried, Oh, mamma, what a pret- ty flowerl and it is for us. Yes, it is for you and mamma, said Mable. After Mrs. Simpson had made the mother comfortable she asked her name. s'My name is Reed, my husband died four months ago and I have had a hard time since then. What kind of work can you do ? I can sew very nicely, she said. Well, I'll see what I can do for you when you get well. We We will go now, but I'll come and see you the first of the week. Mable told Flossie to look on the doorstep Easter morning. The bun- nies will leave you a basket of colored eggs. Now be sure and look and be a good girl. i I'll be good. Come again, please. I will, goodbyf' Goodby, said Flossie. Easter dawned clear and beautiful. Mable arose, and taking a basket of pretty colored eggs and bunnies, she left them at Flossie's door where she knew Flossie would be sure to find them. - She returned just as the family were getting up. Her little brother, George, ran to meet her, showing his pretty eggs and bunnies that had been brought him.. They are just lovely, said Mable. Is breakfast ready yet ? Yes, let's hurry. .After breakfast they all dressed for Sunday School and preaching. Marie came down stairs looking lovely in her silk pongee, new hat and ox- fords. Dorothy looked very winsome and sweet in her commencement Page sixty-two PHS ' , 1925 V f l dress of white voile and her la.st year's hat. The King's Daughters never looked so beautiful or sang so sweet as they did on this glorious Easter morning, all dressed in simple white and no hats, nothing but a white rosebud in their hair and surrounded by Easter lilies and palms. Mable's parents were very proud of her that morning. The class re- ceived many compliments during the day, but none pleased Mable more than the one paid by her sister, who said, You have chosen the better part and I know you have enjoyed your Easter more than I have. I am going to try your plan next year. Don't wait a whole year, commence today, said Mable. h That night her father said, Now tell me why you didn't want a new at. Well daddy, it was this way. There is one girl in our class who is poor. She told Miss West she wouldn't be able to sing with us today as she didn't have a hat and her mother couldn't buy one for a month yet. So we girls had a meeting and decided to wear just a flower in our hair instead of a hat. We were all glad and happy because there was not one absent. Now that is all. No, not all, for here is a ten dollar bill to get yourself a new hat. Oh, daddy, no ten dollar hat for me. Now I can get Flossie a hat, dress and shoes and take her to Sunday School next Sunday. And that is what she did, and bought herself a plain hat, too. Mrs. Reed recovered. The King's Daughters found plenty of sewing for her to do, and Marie helped to carry on the good work.

Qlihapel .iantes The school bells were ringing, children were laughing and shouting on a beautiful morning in September when the doors of P. H. S. were opened to a new school year. September 8. Our first chapel exercise for the year was opened by our superintendent, Mr. Neff. He gave a short talk on the importance of beginning the year right. He urged the choosing of the right subjects dur- ing high school. This talk was enjoyed by all and we were glad to have Mr. Neff address us again. September 25. Mr. Rhodes takes his place on the platform. The ex- pression on his face indicates he has something to say to us. He talked on the 1926 Tris and asked the co-operation of the entire high school to make this book a big success. To this the Seniors all agreed and we hope to carry out the advice given by Mr. Rhodes. October 12. Hurrah! The Seniors have charge of chapel to-day. Of course, being the first ones we wanted to make a good impression on the rest and set a good example for the lower classmen The pro ram . . g was as follows: Song - ..,, - - - Assembly Reading of the Bible - - Nellie Keplinger Prayer ---------------- Song ------------- Assembly Columbus' Life - - Grace Knott and Sue Fredlock Piano Solo - - ---- Katherine Crawford Recitation - ----- - Enid Ours Talk on Tris - - Roberta Morrison Violin Solo - - - 1 Horace Richards Talk on Athletics - - Horace Richards Song ---- ---- A ssembly March, played by ----- Katherine Crawford October 19. Much excitement was created when we heard that a speaker was in Mr. Nef'f's oiiice. The speaker was one of our friends, Rev. Gold, and we were very glad to have him with us. After the opening ex- ercises, Rev. Gold announced that he was going to speak on Preparedness For Life. In order to prepare for life you must fight such enemies as the enemy of the body, the mind, will power, the heart and the soul, he said. I am sure we all profited by this speech. Page seventy-three ll ei October 26. On this morning Mr. Neff spoke to us emphasizing the fact that the greatest mark of a truly educated man and women is an open mind. In order to have an open mind you must do five things. They are: 1. The habit of orderly thinking. 2. The love of books. 3. Acquaintanceship with other lands and ages. 4. To learn to face facts. 5. Have a tolerant mind. November 2. On this morning the Juniors were given the honor of presenting a program for chapel. Everyone expected a good program from the Juniors and they fulfilled our expectations. The program was as fol- lows: Song ---------- - - Assembly Reading of the Bible - - - - Ida Baker Prayer ----- -------- Recitation ---- - Thelma Coddington Song ----- ---- A ssembly Talk on Junior Fair - - - - Louise Dixon Piano Solo ---- - - - Paul Thomas Reading - - - - Mary K. Lovenstein Song ----- ---- A ssembly March, played by ----- Mary K. Lovenstein November 9. This morning Gill Traveler, a western preacher, spoke to us. He told of life on large ranches and gave a very good descrip- tion of a Spanish wedding. The speech was very humorous and was enjoy- ed by all. December 7. The Sophomores gave a very interesting program as fol- lows: Song ------ - Assembly Reading of Scripture - - Anna Butler Prayer ----- ----- Song ----- - - Assembly Reading - - Dessie Bever Piano Solo --------- Vivian Baldwin December 14. The students of P. H. S. were all delighted this morn- ing when the song books were distributed around the room. We were go- ing to have a speaker. Everyone was pleased when our friend Rev. Marsh entered the room. After we had joined in a song, Rev. Marsh gave a very Page seventy-four lrfll . LM interesting talk on Obedience.' The subject was very appropriate and all benefited by the talk. December 21. On this Monday morning Mr. Neff talked to us on bask- et ball, after which a report of the trip to Cumberland was given by Evers Smith. He told those things in an amusing manner, causing much merri- ment. Horace Richards then talked of the future game with Lonaconing and how the boys expected to come back victorious. Mr. Neff closed the meeting with a short talk on Christmas and he then wished us all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. January 1. Back again to school after two weeks' Christmas vaca- tion. Greetings were exchanged by old friends and acquaintances. The New Year was begun by a very delightful program given by the Freshmen. The program follows Song ------ - - - - Assembly Reading of Scripture - - Eldred Kight Prayer ----- -------- Piano Solo - - - - Edith Hutchinson The Junior Prom On May 22, 1925, the annual Junior Prom was held at the New Cen- tury Hotel at Romney. The Juniors, Seniors and Faculty left in automo- biles about seven o'clock to journey to Romney. Romney seemed quite sur- prised at the noise, as it is a very quiet town since the Deaf and Dumb In- stitution is there. Some of the Seniors had tire trouble on their way over, but a good time was enjoyed by them nevertheless, The supper was not served until eight thirty, so some of the students took it upon themselves to explore Romney. This was the first time in the history of our school that the prom was held there and for the faculty it was quite a relief, as everybody appreciates a change. When at last all the party had assembled at the hotel they were ush- ered into the dining room where the supper was served in courses. The tables were beautifully decorated, as the Juniors had the most helpful ad- vice of Miss Suter. There was no rushing for seats as the names of the occupants for each table were placed on cards in prominent positions on the tables. When everyone had satisfied his appetite the dishes and 'tables were cleared away and some of the party enjoyed dancing. About ten o'clock the students were advised by Mr. Neff to start on the journey home. The people of Romney were greatly relieved when they saw the party piling in- to cars to go home. After the cars arrived at Piedmont, each person Went to his respective home with the feeling that the Prom was a great success. Page seventy-five ll FHS t Mt The Freshman Reception The upper classes entertained the Freshmen in the high school audi- torium September 25, 1925. The Freshmen looked forward to this great event with anxiety, because they had read posters on the wall like this: Beware of the 25th. This was to be their real trial and if they could en- dure this they would be actual members of P. H. S. For a week the Freshmen girls were prohibited from using powder and rouge, and were obliged to wear one black stocking and one white stocking. This proved a terrible ordeal for some of them, especially Madaline Haines. The Freshmen boys were commanded to wear green hair ribbons, which were very becoming to their complexions. Everybody assembled in the auditorium at seven thirty. The main specialty of the evening was the Freshmen. The boys were initiated in the gymnasium and the girls in the class rooms. What the Freshmen were ob- liged to go through with is too long to tell, but at least there were no fun- erals the next day. At the close of the program ice cream and cake were served. The Freshmen proved to be very delightful entertainers, and after their experience that night they felt themselves a part of P. H. S. The most outstanding result of the Freshman reception was the dignity which the Freshmen afterwards used toward the upper classmen. The Junior Fair On October 13, 1925, the Junior Fair was held in Laughlin's hall. There was a secret among the Juniors. This secret developed about the first of October and all the Juniors were so interested they didn't have time for anything else. Of course, there wasn't anything unusual about Paul Thom- as talking to the Junior girls, but when the rest of the Junior boys be- came interested in the conversation we did also. It was not long until the secret was a secret no longer, and it was all over town that the Juniors were going to have a fair on the thirteenth. The students in P. H. S., with the exception of the Juniors, were a- fraid the fair would be a failure as it was on an unlucky date, but we could have saved our energy. When the doors of Laughlin's hall were opened that night we thought we were in fairyland. The hall was decorated with crepe paper and the orchestra was in full swing. There were numerous stands where good things to eat and to drink were sold, a fortune telling booth and a stand where devices for making noise were sold. Everyone enjoyed the fair so much that the Juniors decided to hold it for another night. When at last the fair was over all rejoiced because they had all enjoyed themselves, but their pocketbooks were getting thin. The Juniors made such a success of the fair that we all feel sure they are capable of making a success of the events in the future. Page seventy-six rea That's One On Bill The comedy play, That's One On Bill, was presented by the Seniors at the Piedmont Opera House on Monday, February 8, 1926. It has been the custom of the Seniors in Piedmont High School to pre- sent a play every year. The Seniors of 1926, in order to keep pace with the Seniors before them, presented this play. The success of the play was due to the training and hard work on the part of Mrs. C. T. Neff, Jr. Those taking part in the play also worked hard at the rehearsals. The cast: Uncle Jimmy, a young bachelor - - Evers Smith Bill Haily, his nephew - - - - James Lewis Battling Benny Bozo, a pugilist - - Melvin Sullivan Harry Dover, engaged to Lil - - - Sylvie Nazzario Ned Collins tPuf'l'yJ too rich to work - Elvin Adams Patricia Niles, Patricia Pansy La Gloria - Sue Fredlock Lil Haily, her friend ---- Katherine Crawford Mab Allen, unc1e's choice for Bill - Margaret Jenkins Mrs. Haily, mother to Lil and Bill - - - Enid Ours Rosie, the maid ------- Nellie Keplinger Story of the Play Bill Haily objects to the efforts of his wealthy and youthful Uncle Jim- my to mate him with Mab, a sweet but quiet girl whom Uncle Jimmy has selected for a niece-in-law. The uncle has promised to leave part of his fortune to Bill if he will marry as instructed, and part of it to a prize fighter, Battling Benny Bozo, if he remains unmarried. Bill's sister, Lil, seeks to have her brother marry Mab as the uncle desires, and plots to make him tired of his romantic desire for a motion picture bride. So Lil gets her school friend, Patricia, to visit their home in the guise of a motion picture star, and Patricia loses little time in en- snaring the hearts of all the boys in the neighborhood. Bill so complete- ly loses his head over her that he takes money from Uncle J immy's trunk to make an impression on the 'movie queen. The theft is discovered, and Mab, knowing who took the money, pleads guilty to save Bill. Patricia adroitly saves the situation, but by this time Bill is not so enamored with the dashing visitor, and remorsefully begins to appreciate Mab. It develops that while pretending to flirt with the others, Patricia has confessed her identity to Uncle Jimmy, and she brings a sud- den end to her flirtations by announcing the marriage of the two, while the other romances are settled in equally satisfactory fashion.

Mr. Knode and Miss Miltenberger chaperoned the students, but a guide took them through the mill. The different processes of paper mak- ing were explained to them as they Went from one part of the mill to an- other. The trip was very interesting as well as educational and the stu- dents appreciated the opportunity to visit the mill as it is one of the larg- est pulp and paper mills in the world. Visit To The Ice Plant Mr. Knode chaperoned the general science and the physics classes thru the Piedmont Ice Plant on December 1, 1925. As both classes study the process of ice making, the trip was very interesting, and each student pro- fited by it. Margaret Pinnell Entertains Miss Margaret Pinnell entertained a few friends at her home on East Hampshire street, Piedmont, on New Year's Eve, Dec. 31, 1925.

Final Literary Contest The final contest between the Lancastrian and Yorkist Literary Soci- eties was held in the high school auditorium on May 26, 1925. After a selection by the high school orchestra, the debate which Was: Resolved-That Capitol Punishment Should Be Abolished in the United States, was upheld on the affirmative side by Eugene Paxton and Mary Powers, Lancastrians, while John Crist and Horace Richards, Yorkists, ar- gued for the negative. The debate was strongly contested, neither giving ground until the judges decided in favor of the negative. After another selection by the orchestra, the last selections, heavy and light readings were given. The first number was a heavy reading called The Golden Ingotf' by Sarah Crist, Yorkist, who was victorious over Enid Ours, Lancastrian, who read The Decision of Little Pat. Following these two selections, short stories were told by Lorna Cole, Yorkist, and Thelma Coddington, Lancastrian. Lorna told about Biddy Among the Yankees, and was triumphed over by Thelma, who read The Bull Terrior and the Baby. Page eighty an While the judges retired to make their decision, the last selection, which was a lengthy school paper full of school news and jokes, was read by Deborah Ord.

There was no doubt as to whom the victory would go. The Piedmont boys showed good passwork and shooting ability. Bruce staged a little come-back in the second half, but the lead that Piedmont had was too great to overcome. Richards was the leading scorer of the game, while Bowman lead the losers.

This game was played at Cumberland and was declared to be the best game on that floor for several years. The game was a thrill- er from the start and it had the spectators on their toes all the way through. It was one of the fastest games played on A. C. H. S. floor.

Central threw a scare in the Piedmont camp by tying the score a few times, but the Piedmont boys managed to get ahead. 'Ihey were leading by two points when the final whistle blew.
