We have worked long and hard to make this a book to be proud of and hope it will meet with your approval. Now the struggle is over and we can sit back and laugh with you over the funny little happenings of our school days. We do not desire any literary critics to point out the many mistakes which we have made. Nor do we wish anyone to think themselves unjustly criticised, for the little jokes were all written “with malice toward none and charity for all.” Readers, do not overlook our advertisements. There is something in them for you. And we wish to thank those business men who have so kindly assisted our publication. We are also grateful to our fellow students for their contributions which have added so much to our book. We wish especially to thank Miss Miller who has worked with us so faithfully from beginning to end. We ask all to join us in wishing success to last year’s Junior class, who are leaving us this year; to next year’s Junior class, who will be responsible for the next annual; and to all the faculty and students of the Port Allegany High School.

Some of the other classes may doubt this, but we know our class best and therefore are best qualified to judge. Even when we first entered High School, we were different than the majority of Fresh-menmen, we were not so green; or if we were, they tell us that we were more successful in acquiring the art of concealing that verdant color so common to Freshmen. Another event of our Freshmen year, tho not so much to our credit was the way we annoyed our istorp Class of 1UI4 teacher, Mr. Hannawalt. We justified our conduct by saying that the example was set by the upper classes. That year a Freshman, Carleton Kendall, broke the pole vault record at the county track meet. But misfortune came to us too, death took one of our classmates, Sam Crissy. The vear passed rapidly and then we were Sophs! Now we looked down upon the Freshmen and tried to make life hard for them. As a whole the year was uneventful. Mr Hanawalt, however, had left us and in his stead came Mr. Fetterolf, young, unmarried and welcomed by the girls. Now comes the year when we really showed the abilities, which have made alir aujrr CUtj our last two years so successful. Our staff of officers consisted of Esther, Harold, Pauline and Russel. Immediately we set to earning money. We have the honor of introducing the now popular Friday lunch counter, which is quite a money making scheme. So successful were we that all the classes since imitate us. We had many wajs of earning money and all were just as successful as the lunch counter. We bought our pins when we were Juniors, another thing no other Junior class has ever done. We helped give the Freshman reception another innovation. Our reception to the Seniors was given late in the year and we have the Seniors’ word for it that it was a success, but the crowning achievement of our Junior year was the publication of the first High School Anual in Port Allegany, “The Tiger Lily.” The other classes scoffed when we started to work upon it but we were persevering and so in May the book was placed on the market and was received with enthusiasm; so much so that the demand was great er than the supply. Well, that year ended and we were sorry to lose some of our class-mates. And then .ve were Seniors—Seniors! Oh how proud we were and yet how sorrowfully we watched the days pass that drew on to the end. But we were happy too and we have enjoyed this year more than any other. As we wished to take a trip to Washington, we set to work to earn the necessary money for this trip. Because we had been wisely economical, we had a nice nest egg. We had lunch counters, picture show benefits, an extra lecture number, and soap orders, soap or- ders and more soap orders. During the first part of our Senior year the events were few, just another Freshman reception and a Halloween party. But besides all the things we have told of, there is one other thing. In the eighth grade we got the habit of giving something to the school. That year it was a small but extremely useful book, “The Age of Fable,” but during our Senior year the class gave to the High School a statue of Mercury. Of this we are very proud because we are the first to do it, but we are also very happy to leave the gift to our beloved alma mater. During the latter paid of the year events moved swiftly; work and play were nicely mixed. Exams—their name was legion but so were the affairs of fun. Mrs. Ventres entertained at her home one Saturday evening and two weeks later we were entertained at the country home of “Uncle Eber” after a delightful sleigh ride. To tell of the fun we managed to have in school would take the rest of this book so you will have to imagine it or look on the Calendar. The days passed and the hurry and flurry of graduating began. But why should we go further with this tale. We cannot tell what lies before us nor how many miles of land and sea may lie between us in the coming yea.s. We can only hope that all will be well vifc'i every member of the class of 1914. We are sure that you will agree with us as you read this that our class deserves the name of the “wonderful class of 1914.” E. McL, ’14. A. 'Hera fcJtiHi “Confound that bell! scarce have I slept One hour since into bed I crept.” Vera, the belle of our class, never has time for anything except dances and lost sleep. Occasionally she studies very hard in Biology, and manages with difficulty to hand her note book in at the appointed time. Perhaps some day after endless years of study and hard times, Vera will be a librarian, as she is thinking quite seriously of this vocation; if so, she will have to accustom herself to early rising. iluaaeU fll. idiyar “Strange to the world, he wore a bashful look.” Bumpy, as he is familiarly known, was captain of the basket ball team and is a general favorite with his classmates. He and Bill see that the rnysics apparatus is kept from getting dusty. He is a shark in Physics and spends much time in trying to convince Mr. Fetterolf that he has passed a back test. He is also a “crack” in drawing Biology specimens but he has strict orders to label all of tnem. He is not easily discouraged, however, and will surely be a success in life. iFrcriia (£. SulfttBon “Maiden with the meek brown eyes, In whose orb the laughter lies.” Here is the baby of our class, she is only—ahem. She is our poetess and talented musician. We had a hope that she would some day write the great American Epic. But it is feared she will never make her mark in that way because she is devoted to another Art, and she blushes if questioned concerning her future. Freeda is a brilliant history pupil and one night had a dream of taking three histories at the same time. Fear not “Freja,” dreams do not always come true. Esther fflrEaugtjlin “I love to wind my mouth up, I love to hear it go.” Esther is the most ambitious, talkative, flighty, brilliant, good-hearted and lengthy individual in the Senior Class. Still more adjectives are necessary to describe her complicated character. Esther is especially noteworthy in basketball; she gives her opponents no chance of beating for she has merely to walk to the basket and drop the ball in. Athletics, however, do not occupy her entire attention: in history and English she leads her class, and in all school afTairs can be depended upon to do her share. AUijn? arfft ‘‘When love and study clash, let study go to smash.” Allyne is the most popular girl in our class if we judge by the number of her beaus. That fact probably accounts for her having so little time to spend on her school work. Another reason may be Allyne’s fondness for sleighrides and parties. She believes there will always be studying, but parties must be taken when they come. Already rumor says that instead of Commencement invitations, she contemplates sending wedding invitations. (Oral A. GHfompaott “Small is the subject but not so the praise.” Oral’s greatest fault is not wanting to study; she is always worrying about flunking her exams and getting low marks, but when the quarterly reports appear in the local papers her name always heads the Honor Roll. She is a member of “The Corner” and always ready for a good time. Oral is our President and has endless trouble in the class meetings, for the Senior’s have very decided opinions. After graduating, she expects to teach. ffliirirl t. Hputrca “Oh, my hair’s like a red, red rose.” Muriel, the future suffragette, is considered the most pious member of the class of 1914, but to this we cannot all agree. She enjoys a jolly lark as well as anyone, and loves to debate on woman’s suffrage and the W. C. T. U. She is ambitious by fits and starts. After allowing her work to accumulate for some time, she then studies frantically for ?. few days, until at last she is overcome by brain exhaustion and is forced to take a rest. She is planning for past graduate work next year. ffiarulti UHppppr “As idle as a painted ship, Upon a painted ocean.” When younger and below the High School, he used to make two grades in one year, but now it takes him two to make one. He is a dreamer and has beautiful visions of dances, sleigh rides, etc., and says the visions of school grind are vulgar and monotonous beside the others. He has ability and can do good work. He has never gone in for athletics much. “The devil of procrastination is an easy boss, but he pays low wages.” Wake up Wiepper, in time. .Ijolftt 31. itlrfflahim “When he's good he’s very very good, And when he's bad he's horrid.” Much might be told about John, but suffice it to say he is one of the most useful and at the same time one of the most nonsensical boys in our class. He is always busy getting out the High School newspaper, writing for the “Argus,” working up a a play, or holding someone's hand. He is one of our singers and frequently appears on musical programs. He says the secret of his fine voice is his broken heart. We hope John will succeed—in getting someone's hand to hold. iflutui £R. Iflrrkrr “By diligence she wins her way.” Mona is a member of “The Corner,” that gay little group on Senior side. She has contributed her share to the fun and hilarity of the group and will miss the many jokes and whispered conferences which brightened the grind of study. As soon as she is able to wade thru the terrible struggle of translating “Wilhelm Tell” she will be a happy, care free girl once more. But as her motto indicates, diligence has helped her and will help her to win in her undertakings. fttarij ftlulralui “Cause I'se wicked—I is and I can’t help it.” There is our mary with her charming gr—er, smile. Mary has been with us only two years but enters all our fun with the enthusiasm of an old timer. Mary's strong point( ?) was history this year; and physics last year. Her chief diversion is annoying Bumpy, who doesn't seem to mind it, but another one just as diverting is writing soap orders. Mary will enter her father's office in Olean next year. JJaulutr Narijrlii “A young woman with an independent air.” Pauline, our overworked treasurer, is always ambitious but not always calm. A tempest arises without warning and those overtaken by it usually recognize their plight. Undoubtedly she wifi overcome this failing, and in the near future will probably teach the primary pupils of our schools. “Phene” also shines as a basket ball player but she never appears in public, playing only with a few others of her stature. She is certain to make good in whatever she undertakes. — William iB. Nargelu “Faith and I can cut a caper.” And he can too; just ask the teachers. But tho Bill loves a lively time and delights in teasing, he is one of our strongest students and has made a satisfactory record in his work. He has always been interested in athletics, especially track and basket ball. No small measure of the strength of the Senior team was due to his loyalty and hard playing. Next year will probably see Bill at State College. We know he will give a good account of himself and make us all proud of him. iEutuih lirllr (Olmstrati There’s nothing like fun, is there?” Just to look at Ennah’s picture is enough to tell what kind of a girl she is. She is the life of “The Corner” and anyone who sits beside her in class is liable to be disturbed by her antics or quaint sayings. Just at present she is interested in the planet Mars and her graduation clothes. But Ennah says she is not nearly as silly as she used to be and that she now has serious thoughts once in a while. SU'rtlta II. £ yrurrr ‘A quiet lass; there are but few ” Here is a very modest and shy young lady, though her picture may not betray that fact. She is very fond of studying, especially the books given out for reference work. She can blush charmingly, but she is more apt to sputter with great energy if the boys bother her. She is a member of “ Hie Corner,” and has helped in those famous conclaves held in their special nook. But she has worked hard too, and we all hope for her success. (Christim prakrr Alias Sprak, alias Aunt Leuphelia “Built mosquito like, long and thin.” Miss Dignity Decorum, our sedate classmate, is noted for her criticising speeches, old maidish attitude and everlasting hunger. Her special aversions are boys(?), soap orders and physics. Her usual occupation is talking, or trying to keep Bill in order. She is going to take a domestic science course in Rochester; then she intends to return to her alma mater and teach the students how to prepare beefsteak “smothered in onions,” or Welsh rarebit.

R. ’15. junior |3oem Here is a class in our school Which I will long remember, They come together every year When school starts in September. Joseph O’Connor, about six foot two, Is the wisest fellow we ever knew. When it comes to the girls, he makes quite a hit But he doesn’t seem to mind it, not even a bit. Ai'de’la Cooper one and no more, Altho like her, we wish we had four. She is so quiet and yet full of fun, When she’s sure that her lessons ara done. Ernie Mangold, fond of green socl s. Is as stately and strong as the Gibraltar rocks. He is fond of drawing all sorts of scenery, Thus he gets his nickname, ‘Machinery.’ tTItr etgrr Ctlg Charles McRae, our Algebra shark. Has a voice that resembles that of a lark. He always has been a jolly good lad, And wearing a red tie is his latest fad. Rose Maher, What have we here! To her the sunshine throughout the year. She has a nickname it is quite rare. Polly Beelzebwog Maher. Russel Strang, the Latin translator, Someday he’ll be a great dictator. He usually gets up all in a muddle And if anything’s doing, he’s the toad in the puddle. Edward Catlin with meek brown eyes Every morning in bed till nine o’clock lies. Of course we are obliged to excuse him for this For every night he is out with his dear little Miss. Evelyn Fulmer, the smartest of all Is always busy in the Study Hall. Her cheeks get flushed with a delicate pink And yet they look mighty nice, I think. Herbert Rhenborg, a boy of the class, Is always supplied with a looking glass. He has combed his hair in pompadour style And is looking at himself most all the while. Howard Catlin, a Junior of fame For two or three years has born that name. But may he only trust to kind fate Then perhaps some day he might graduate. Gretchen Black, with very poor health Throws her books upon a shelf, But in love stories, she’s right there For she has her own way to prepare. Ralph Zahniser, “Reverend” for short Certainly is an all around “sport;” He always has an nice little smile Ever ready a girl’s heart to beguile. Alma Anderson, with cheeks so faint I’ll warrant you, she uses no paint. She usually remains for a four o’clock session The reason why to me is a question. Fred Baker, a German Scholar Is as bright as a half of dollar. But he does not believe in German much For he thinks the Irish can beat the Dutch. Josephine Welsh so delicate and thin Looks to me like a walking pin. She is always so quiet and very still She never says much, but works with a will. Raymond Cauley, so big and burly Has a girl whose hair is curlv; From her he finds it hard to ra t For one can sec him towards the Freshman dart. Della Romanio, good natural and jolly, To be serious always she things is folly, So with Evelyn and Alma she has a good time, And many of their larks she puts into rhyme James Newton, right in the rhyme Always gets to class on time. He is as little as seven cartridges But all good goods come in small packages. Now I have come to the end of my rhyme, Tho' I could keep writing all the time; But we have no other members just now So I’ll close up this jingle, with a stage bow. —D. A.

They tell us that we were pretty green: that it was so evident that they sent us green invitations bidding us to a party at the Gymnasium in our honor. At that time they deemed it their duty to deliver to us many instructions as to how we should behave. But with our Sophomore year we lest some of this greenness; we also lost some of our members so that at the present time our class numbers only sixteen. This year we joined our school mates in giving a reception and instructions to our successors, class of 1917. With the passing of the year we (UlatfH Beatrice Buckley Mary Beckwith Margaret Funcheon Arlene Holden Randall Laymon Ruth Meacham Gertrude Mulcahy Hattie McKinney have grown in wisdom and dignity. The other classes envy us these qualities so they try to retaliate by calling us “slow.” It did take us longer to decide to have our picture taken; that was due, however, to no lack of inclination but to the fact that we feared the pictures of the others would suffer by comparison with ours. In athletics we stand in second place, a position of which we are very proud. We hope to raise it during tne track meet as all our five boys are athletes and jealous for the honor of 1916.

We were honored by the usual Frshman Reception but they tell us we acted with becoming humility. At the Hallowe’en party we won the meet and since then our prowess in all athletics has been undisputed. We won first place in the basket ball series and that fact probably accounts for the “sore” feeling the others cherish toward us, nad for the flings they throw at us because we are Freshmen. We feel confident, however, that we have a great future in store for us and that the years will add much to our honors and dignity. Freshman, Freshman, don’t you cry.

We have been hearing the term repeated so often but just what do we mean by it? Does it mean the cheering, the “Port Allegany! llah! Rah! Rah!” all that frenzy of practicing yells before a game? Some say, “School Spirit means loyalty to our school; sometimes it takes the form of cheers, or it means defending our school when we hear anything derogatory to it or to our teams or to our students.” All these are time but is there not more to the term? Is school spirit the cheering so lustily, or the singing with great feeling “The Orange and the Black” or shouting so enthusiastically, “Our High School it is one of the best, ve always stand the test. And always loyal we will be” Is this genuine school spirit? No, no, school spirit means more than cheers; more than noisy demonstrations ; more than professions of loyalty, tho all these things have their p’ace and undoubtedly help to foster a love for our alma mater, but the real school spirit which is to count the most, goes deeper and is finer than any of these things. School spirit of the right kind finds its best and truest expression in school service. Now how do we explain service? Service is often defined as labor performed in the interest and under the direction of others, or is any work performed for the benefit of others. This plu.se of the definition, the idea of helping or promoting the interests of another, is the meaning to be considered here. Taore are many ways of school service. Loyalty is one and a very important one. But loyalty of the right sort doesn’t mean that you go about telling that you believe your school is the best in McKean County, that your teams can not be beaten; it means that you will perform that kind of service which will he p co make the school the best in Me Kean County, that you will work to keep your teams strong and invincible. Ic of ceil means subordinating your own personal grievances or your personal preferences, and standing by the people or plans which will elevate your school. It may often mean voting a-gaii s. your most intimate friend as candidate for team captain or class president or some other office, if that friend is not the best person for the position. If your school has athletics, school service mear.s doing your part toward making athletics worth something. If you can’t make the team, you can be a “scrub” and help the other fellow to become a better player. If things are not managed to fit your notion, school service forbids your playing the aljr aigrr tCilu part of a “sorehead” and quitting because you can’t have your way. If some thoughtless student forgets and disturbs the order of a class or of the study hall, here is your chance to help by frowning on the disorder and seeing that the offense is not repeated. It won t be if the students take the right stand. Are any of thfse things beyond the ability of any of us ? And everyone is a help toward promoting the interests of the school. Bnt some of us are saying “I thought we were not here to help the school, but that the school was here to help us.” So it is and all the more reason why we should help that institution. Excepting our homes, to whom do we owe more for what we are and what we hope to become than to our school? From a selfish standpoint only, it would be to our interest to make a school to which we could point with pride, a school of such a high standard of conduct and work, and such a splendid reputation that we are proud to announce, “I belong to the Port Allegany High School.” It is the duty of every student to take upon himself such a JUtfjletic The matter of athletic training is a subject which has aroused considerable discussion this year in our High school. But strangely enough, many of our boys cannot be induced to see any value in such training and cannot be convinced that in order to produce a winning tpam, or even a strong team, much at- share of the responsibility that when we sing so heartily: “Name the school whose sports are clean, The school that stands for nothing mean The squarest crowd in Pennsylvania, Easy guess —Port Allegany” our heads are proudly lifted, our hearts beat faster and we can say; “That is true; our sports are clean and fine, our students are honest and square, and our school is a school worth belonging to.” You say this view is too idealistic? Not necessarily. We have ambitious and responsible students who could do these things. A better condition always comes as a result of idea’s. Every individual needs only to become convinced of the value of the ideal and then to work toward its realization. This will not come in a day nor in a week, but come it will when every student determines that as least as far as he himself and his service are concerned, the school and student body will become stronger and finer and better. At least it is worth trying. draining tention must be paid to th;s very question of good physical condition, secured by proper training and regular habits. There has been special difficulty here wdth regard to smoking and the keeping of late hours. Some of the boys seemed to be under the impression that Mr. Borkenstock was unreasonable to im- alir umvr iLltltr pose such restrictions upon the team men, and that observing such rules was unnecessary. The fact that in colleges, where the men are mature and more developed and- can better stand dissipation, they are kept in the strictest training, should convince our students that such training is necessary for successful athletics. A word about the nature of the training enforced at some of our colleges might furnish some interesting light on this subject. Many of our students are interest-ted in State College athletics. Here the coaches have determined that the primary aim of all training is endurance. To this end they insist on training tables and the fellows are restricted to a proper diet which shall produce the best physical condition. They must keep regular hours; it is not unusual, but rather required, that they get twelve hours sleep the night before the game. Intoxicants are absolutely forbidden, as is smoking. The reasons for the former are obvious. For the latter the reasons are various: first, smoking hurts the wind; second, it injures the digestion and thus prevents the stomach from performing the services necessary to good physical condition; third, it is the foe to endurance; fourth, it induces an abnormal nervous excitement. As a result of such training, State has brought out some strong, winning teams in football, baseball and track and is showing a schedule of games with the strongest eastern Colleges and Universities. All of us marvel at the wonderful endurance and playing of the Carlisle Indians. It is due not only to their na-ural ability and physical perfection, but also to their training. Here as at State College they are required to eat at training tables, to keep regular hours and to abstain entirely from smoking. Thorpe, one of the greatest athletes of this country never drinks or smokes, but keeps himself in perfect physical condition. The necessity of proper training is better shown at Bucknell than any of the other institutions mentioned here. When Bucknell had paid coaches, who insisted on their observing strict training, she had winning teams and her athletics commanded respect. But now when, with the exception of foot-ball, the coaches are elected from the stu-ent body, the members of the team do not train praperly; the result is that Bucknell is now putting out losing-teams. More instances might be given, but these are sufficient to prove our statement that proper observance of rules for getting into the best physical condition is an abosolute necesstiy. If this is true for the mature and more developed college man, it is most certainly true for the High School athlete. —W. II. N. ’14. aljr (iutrr iCiUt ££ tuDent (©otoernrnent The Juniors and Seniors have been very much interested in the topic: Student Government —Is it possible in our High School ? The question has been vigorously discussed pro and con, in connection with our English work, and has brought out some spirited arguments. While some took an optimistic view of the matter, others were inclined to be pessimistic. One argument advanced agairst our trying student government was that there would be some who would take advantage of the method, and because the students held the government would persist in disobeying the rules, or in annoyances of another sort. We concede that readily, but if the remaining students—the reliable, steady and worth-while people would frown on these who lacked self-control or self-respect, the disorder could be stopped. For what else do the “smarties” cut up if it is not to cause a laugh or get attention? Another argument, which our pride ought to prevent us from accepting is that in other places student government might be successful, but not in our school. Some of us object to believing that statement. But if we do think it is true, and several were inclined to that belief, then it is high time that we see that such a condition is changed. Is our town worse than others? Do you like to think that our High School has more irresponsible students than others have? Loyalty to our parents and to our school forbids our allowing any such assertion to be possi- ble. Counting up the ‘sheep” and the “goats,” I think the unruly ones are not as numerous as might be supposed. Thoughtless people we have but thoughtlessness can be corrected. The argument that the students would not assume their responsibilities in the right way, but that partiality, popularity, and so forth, would have too much influence in the management and control of affairs, was one of the most serious ones brought up. There would be that danger, but the students must realize that the success of student government to a very large extent depends on the students themselves. They will realize that genuine merit and not mere popularity should determine a person’s fitness for responsibility. The right-thinking students can offset any tendancy toward nutting the other kind in power by taking a determined stand on the right side and thus help to control the situation. Of course difficulties will arise, but we surely ought to be willing to try to settle them as the occasion comes up. Our Principal has expressed himself as being heartily in favor of this form of government and if a majority of the students would promise to support it, why could we not try it? The Seniors have been anxious to have it tried this year before they leave school, but it is now rather late. We do believe, however, that it could be done, and certainly feel that our school by so doing would have taken a long step forward. A. H. ’16. ehc diiirr £ihi GDur Prutripal, R r. Iterlmtatnrk Since Mr. Berkenstock has been principal of our High School, he has rendered many services to the school and the town. When he came here the school was in a run down condition, the course of study was in sad need of alteration and the text books needed changing. Reference books there were none. Now, under his regime, things have changed; our High School is ranked among the first class high schools, several record breakers have been produced from our athletes, and though often meeting with discouragement, he still is teaching the doctrine of winning out in any struggle by having a clean, healthy body and a clear and quick brain. Our course of study has been changed and only those whose work reaches the required standard are allowed to graduate. A Port Allegany High School diploma now means something. Plenty of good reference books are on hand, a good part of them belonging to Mr. Berkenstock. Mr. |Jrntpat Against thr We take this means of reaching the school board with our protest a-gainst the oiling of the floors in the school rooms. We can see that it lightens the labor, and expense, and saves considerable time for the janitor, but it can not be said to do the same for our parents For instance, the soles of our rubbers blister and then fall out because they are placed on the floor. One girl bought three pairs before the cause Berkenstock is interested in the boys and girls socially too and has often planned a social evening for them. He wishes to have club rooms to which boys and girls can go and thus keep them off the streets and away from evil companions. This plan has not yet matured but he is working for it so we can expect it at any time. Mr. B. is wrapt up in his work, and is very jealous of our school’s reputation and because of his own spirit toward his work, he has imbued many pupils with the same fel-ing. Nor have his services been to the school alone. To a certain extent it is due to the lecture course which he has brought here and made successful that the people of our town have been ready for the Chautauqua. We can safely say that only by looking back over his past labors can a true estimate of his service be taken; and possibly not then, for the influence will be felt in the lives of our bo: s and girls in future years. (Dtliuu nf thr Jfflmira of the trouble was found out. It is impossible to wear skirts of the proper length and keep them clean because they sweep up the oil mixed with dust and this is almost impossible to wash out. If heavy skirts are worn, the oil rots them and they soon fray out. We ruin the rugs in our home because of the oil we carry home on our shoes. We will admit that it makes the floors look cleaner, but we also say that where the Slir (Tiiirr ICilu oil has oozed up the wainscoting or has been splashed on by some careless worker, it looks anything but neat. Moreover it has caused several accidents. One teacher and several pupils have fallen, and been exceedingly embarrassed because they have stepped in- to a pool of oil. On the stairs the least misstep is liable to throw some one to the bottom, for they are very slippery. We hope the school board will see our side of this affair and refrain from oiling the floor more than once a year any way, and then a light application. QIIuhh Utottnga One thing in our High School which is in sad need of improvement is the order in class meetings. Every time a class meeting is held, every one in the building knows it unless some teacher intervenes and insists upon quietness. So often a classmeeting degenerates into noisy, disorderly confusion. The chief aim of each person seems to be to make more noise than anyone else. Much of this is due to thoughtlessness. There are times when good fun and jollity among classmates is admissible but a classmeeting is a place for business and not for general jollification. It is not fair to the presiding officer, to your classmates, or to yourself. It is difficult, if not impossible to carry on business under such circumstances. Many cases have been brought to light in this very school, where a vote could not be fairly taken because of the uproar. Tho it is probably mere thoughtlessness, still it is neither mannerly nor just. Even if you do not agree with what the speaker is saying, give him your attention. Perhaps he has a valuable point that you may profit by in the end. We are sure there is not a person in this school who is lacking in class loyalty and when you realize that it is for the good of your class and classmates to have quiet, orderly class meetings, we arc sure that you will do your best toward this end. •Pnmram Jflnrk This year Miss Lillibridge has inaugurated the custom of having a program consisting of music and recitations on Friday morning. Some have availed themselves of the advantage and have derived much benefit therefrom, as well as having given to their schoolmates some pleasure. The prac- tice is surely valuable and many prove of use to them in after life. It is hoped that more will feel like availing themselves of the opportunity and that if the programs are continued next year many new ones will appear before us. Don’t refuse; at least, try it and see what you can do. Ahr u-irirr iCUtj i SJtfjlctic Cup The Port Allegany High School was the recipient this season of a beautiful silver loving cup. the gift of one of our generous and interested citizens, Mr. L. J. Reznor. The cup has been on display for some time in the window of Mr. Reznor s Jewelry store and has called forth considerable admiration, especially from the students. It is very attractive both in form and appearance. It stands about twelve inches high; on one side is engraved the figure of a runner; on the other, the figure of a basket ball player. Below the figure of the Basket Ball player is engraved the following inscription : CHAMPIONS in Basket Ball and Track 1913-1914 Won By Class of 191— The conditions under which the cup is to be won are these: First, the points to be divided between two sports, Basket Ball and track, each one counting ninety-nine points; Second, in basket ball each team is to play nine games, each game counting five and a half points; Third, in track the points are to be given as at the county meet—first place five, second place three, third place one; for the four mile the points are eight five, three, two and one; Fourth, the team whose total points from both sports is the highest is to be called the champion and awarded the cup. As a result of the contest the season has been unusually interesting and helpful. The contest has aroused a great deal of enthusiasm and produced strong class spirit and class loyalty. Moreover, the fellows have come to respect not only their team mates but their opponents. This fight for the cup, with the persistent efforts made this year for clean, manly sport has raised our standard of athletics. All the students and the faculty join in thanking Mr. Reznor for his kindness, and express through this book their appreciation of his interest in our boys and our High School. C. M. ’15 itlfp (Tiger Silo atijletics The athletic life in the High School started as usual with the tra k meet at the McKean County Fair. Port sent a track team that really had the ability but lacked training. Consequently we did badly and finished only fourth, tho we were not last. Next on the program comes football. The fellows were picked out and Joe O’Conner was elected captain. Later he resigned on account of ill health and Kenneth Kendall was chosen in his place. Again we lacked preparation in the line of practicing and as some of the team would not keep in good condition, the season was disas-ti-ous. The football lineup was as follows : O’Conner, full back.

We did have tho, a very interesting and hotly contested series of inter-class games. Many thought the season far better with only class games than other seasons with out of town games. All were working and working hai'd for the cup. SENIORS The Senir’s were handicapped in having three fellows in the class and having to go to the grades for the remainder of their players. Out of nine games the Seniors lost seven and won two. The Senior lineup was as follows; C. McMahon, Zahniser W. F. Naegely W. F. Buckley W. G. Naegely E., Greer G. Edgar, Captain. JUNIORS The Junior s for some reason had a very disastrous season tho they came out one game ahead of us. They had had very little team work or rather used very little if they had any. The Juniors lost six and won three, and finished with 16i s points. Their lineup for the season was as follows; lows; C. Mangold, Baker. F. Newton, O’Connor. F. Zahniser R. G. McRae, Captain. G.

We have a varsity team this year and have games scheduled with several teams of the surrounding High Schools and have also an exceptionally good High School team under way. The opening game was played on Friday April 24, 1914, with the Smethport High School. The game was very intex-esting for the first game of the season and our fellows showed up well. Baker twirled the sphere and really thex-e was nothing to it. The game was 11-8 in Port’s favor. Let us hope that the rest of the season will be as successful and that we ihc (i-uvr ICthf can be winners in baseball. Our lineup is given below. Baker, Pitcher. Zahniser, Catcher. J. McCarney, First Base. VV. Miller, Second Base. Calhoun, Short Stop. Laymon, Third Base. Naegely, Left Field. Manager. F. Miller, Center Field. Newton, Right Field. And in conclusion, there is another thing to be suggested. Our fellows are much interested in all sports and seem now to be honestly trying to gain a reputation for good clean athletics. In track, football and baseball we are handicapped by a lack of a suitable practice field. Always there comes the question: Where can we play? Always we have to go around to get permission for this field or that place and so on. How would it be if the School Board or an Athlete Asociation or interested friends could secure for the use of the athletics the boys ball field next to the Mississippi factory and use it entirely for athletic purpose? A baseball diamond is there already; a football field could be made out of it and with enough funds a track could be constructed for running teams. At least the idea deserves consideration and should be worth trying. I have endeavored to give the readers of the Annual as complete a record of High School Athletic Activities as possible and hope that they may be interested in reading the records. There may be some mistakes and if there are I hope that they may be overlooked by all. —J. J. M. T4. «PRll. 1H.I5IH-I SMLTHPORT H. S-V PORT HIGH V -. -M- 3 PA.H.S.

The guests assembled at eight o’clock and were very pleasantly entertained by playing many and various games such as “Polly put the kettle on,” and “Farmer in the Dale.” Tnese childish games were played because the reception was given to the Freshmen and altho the other classes were too dignified (?) for such babyish amusements, they were anxious to please their young guests. After re-fresments were served, the Freshmen left feeling that they had been royally welcomed into the school by the other classes. Our Hallowe’en party took place in the Gymnasium October the twenty-fourth, and was an affair long to be remembered. Several innovations were in evidence, especially at lunch. This was served at small tables covered with lunch squares; candle light was used and the lunch served in courses. But the guests after recovering from their first surprise at seeing such dignified manners at a school party, behaved themselves very creditably. The entertainment provided was intensely interesting, especially the interclass meet which was won by the Freshmen. A fuller description of the function is given on another page. Mrs. M. E. G .Ventres entertained the members of the Senior Class February 14, 1914 at a six o’clock dinner in honor of her daughter Muriel. Covers were laid for eighteen. The table decorations were huge baskets of white roses and carnations, tied with maroon ribbons, the class colors. These ribbons led to each guests place and when pulled proved to be attached to corsage and boutonniere bouquets. The place cards were very unique and furnished no end of amusement. After partaking of an elaborate five course dinner, the guests betook themselves to the front parlors, where the remainder of the evening was very pleasantly spent in games, music and various forms of entertainment. At a late hour the gathering broke up, all the Seniors declaring it one of the most delightful events of the school year. On Friday night, February twenty-seventh, the Senior Class with Miss Miller as chaperon, a jolly bunch by the way, enjoyed their first slighride together. We left Port at eight o’clock, arriving at ten o’clock at the home of “Uncle Eber” about a mile above Burt-ville. By our shouts, shrieks and yelps we soon had the uncle at the door and he gaveus such a welcome as immediately made us feel as if we were indeed on a farm in the country and all his nieces and nephews. As soon as we nicely got our things ahr aiurr iCtlif off, we gathered in an empty room, which had been vacated for our coming. Here some had their first game of blind man’s buff and almost everyone their first square dance. Various other amusements followed and then delicious refreshments were served, consisting of sandwiches, pickles, cake, olives, salted peanuts, jello, cake and last but not least all the milk we could drink and several platters of home made candy. The old farm house fairly rang with mirth. We did not leave until after one o’clock, reaching Port at three. They all reported they had one of the best times of their lives and declare that they may surprise “Uncle Eber” and “Aunt Jenny” by accepting their invitation to come again. It has already been suggested that our class gather there next Christmas vacation for another good old fashioned time. (Reported by a Senior.) As the Juniors had been invited by Ardella Cooper to visit her home, a sleighride was arranged for Friday evening, March thirtieth. The crowd started about eight o’clock and made good time considering the sleighing. The Juniors were very merry and “carried on considerably, which action did not well become their dignity.” On reaching their destination they joined hilariously in “Bingo,” “Ruth and Jacob,” and other games of a similar nature. Soon came the greatest moment—the “eats” were served to the hungry Juniors. The refreshments consisted of sandwiches salad, potato chips, ice cream, cake and coffee. The reluctant Juniors started for home at twelve, a very early hour for such a seasoned crowd. The time going home was taken up by singing, and cheering. There were no mishaps except that Edward got lost in the bottom of the sleigh and Charles was left. Every moment was full of pleasure (and no.'se) showing that Ardella was a splendid hostess and that the Juniors fully appreciated and enjoyed her invitation. £ luutlh (Dili Aniuamtaurf hr IFnrgot Theron Hardes, Franklin Cook and Harold VanWegen are taking up post graduate work under Mr. Berkenstock.

CfKrf rh'INi a joke _ TOC rAT. ahr airier Cilu Zl ££ cl)ool Catastrophe High School Study Hall was one day the scene of a woeful catastrophe. Silence reigned everywhere; all the students were busily at work; everything looked peaceful and innocent; but in came Harold Wilson, head held high like a conqueror s In his eyes was that uncomprehending stare which has gained tor him the name of “Sleepy.” Little dreaming what fate had in store for him, he stalked slowly and majestically until he reached a portion of the floor which had been recently oiled. Then ne suddenly awoke to the fact that his feet were slipping. Valiantly he struggled to regain his balance. But alas! all his heroic efforts were in vain and down went our hero. “Behold! the mighty had fallen!” The students, startled by the deafening clatter and roar of tumult, saw with astonishment two stout arms madly clawing the air; a pair of long gray clad legs frantically waving above the tops of the desks. For a moment, breathless with suspense, they gazed at the scene of conflict. Then as our hero gradually regained possession of his scattered faculties and the various portions of his anatomy, lie slowly and painfully adjusted himself to an upright position. In spite of heroic efforts at self control, the students could no longer restrain their laughter. There in the front of the room,the usual dreamy look supplanted by one of dazed confusion, stood Harold.. One moment he sia.ed in amazed bewilderment at Miss Miller, then scowled vindictively at the offending floor. At last as the poorly suppressed mirth of his schoolmates impressed itself upon his benumbed brain he took refuge in a hasty retreat to a classroom. For a time the students wisely refrained from asking him the state of his injuries but later cautious inquiries produced the information that the greatest injury had been that to his dignity. —E. A. M. T5 ®f)e Jjallotoe’en $artj As that night of mystery and magic known as Hallowe’en drew near, the faculty and students began eagerly planning ror a school party in the gymnasium. The Freshman especially entered into the preparations with a zest, bent as usual upon having a good time. The eventful night arrived and, altho the weather was stormy, a large crowd assembled. They were met at the door with gay cries of “Come on and get your fortune told!” “Right this way to learn your fate!” “One at a time please. Don’t crowd!” On the first table was the Book of Fate, which, so it was claimed, would truly tell the initials of your loved one. Passing on to the next table they found a place to bob for apples. The boys had a great deal of fun here and alie (Airier Cily when they were done some of them looked as though they had been swimming. At the end of the gymnasium hung a pumpkin upon which initials were artistically ( ?) carved and here again they had a chance to learn their sweetheart’s names. The next table held a huge sawdust pie in which were buried tiny fortunes in verse. After each nad learned his destiny, he passed to the next taole which held the Three Magic Bowls (imported from darkest India for this occasion.) Here the crowd learned whether they were to be married happily, or unhappily or not at all. After everyone had his fortune told to his satisfaction Miss Miller announced that they would have a “swapping contest.” Everyone had been told to bring something to trade, done up so that no one would know what it was. At a given signal each one “swapped” with the person nearest them. When the bundles were undone, some amusing articles wore brought to light: a lemon, a baby’s pacifier, a button hook, a ragged necktie, a pair of gym shoes, a bottle of castor oil, and so on. After everyone had had a chance to examine his own and his neighbor’s property, lunch was announced. The I'l'sehmen grew quite hilarious at the thought of “eats”but were promptly quoded by the upper classmen. The refreshments, consisting of sandwiches, pickles, potato chips, coffee and candy were served at small tables, each seating four persons. Each table bore a shaded candle and was covered with a lunch cloth. The gym certainly presen- ted an interesting sight, with all seated at small tables and the room lighted only by shaded candles. After supper Mr. Berkenstock announced that the four classes would contend in a class meet for the championship and the possession of an orange and black (cheesecloth) pennant. Each class rallied its members and the air was soon thick with such cris as— Rah! Rah! Rah! Sis Boom! Bah! Freshmen, Freshmen! Rah! Rah! Rah! One, two, three, four, Who are we for, Sophomores Boom chicka boom! Boom chicka boom! Boom chicka ricka chicka Boom! boom! boom! Rip! ray! rah! Rip! ray! rah! Seniors! Seniors! Rah ! Rah! Rah ! Oat meal, shredded wheat, cornmeal, mush, The Sophomores are dying Everybody hush! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, All the Juniors go to heaven, All the rest will go to—well! Are we IT? Well, I guess yes! JUNIORS After the excitement had subsided a little, the first event, a thirty inch dash, was called. Bill Naegely was the first to get his thirty inches of string chewed up and so won first place for the Seniors. u-hr auvr fCily The second event, the shot put, consisted of dropping a number of beans into a small glass. This came very nearly being a tie, but resulted in the Juniors’ gaining both first and second places. The third event was the hammer throw, the hammer being a small paper bag filled with air. This was a more difficult feat than might at first be supposed, for the harder you threw the hammer, the less distance you usually gained. The Freshmen, however, were fortunate enough to win first place in this event. The next event, the standing broad grin, furnished a great deal of amuse ment to the onlookers as well as the contestants. True to their reputation, the Freshmn proved their ability to grin broadest and carried off both first and second places. The most difficult event on the qro-gram (according to the contestants) was the potato race. They were required to pick up a potato in a spoon without touching it with their hands and carry it along the course and across the line without dropping it. Here the Sophomores proved their prowess by winning first place. The last event was the relay race. The relay teams each consisted of five persons. At a given signal the first person on each team began to eat a cracker. When the first finished, the second started in and so on. The Freshman team finished first and won first place in the last event. When the score was added up, it stood as follows: Freshmen .......................... 23 Juniors, .......................... 12 Seniors, .......................... 12 Sophomores.......................... 7 The victorious Freshmen carried off the pennant and hung it on their side of the study hall. After the track meet, the party broke up. Everyone declared they had had a gloriously good time and hoped they might have another as successful Hallowe’en party next year. E.

They went into the schoolhouse By way of the fire escape, And as the windows were all locked It was the only way to take. They fixed that old schoolbuilding As it never was before. There was hardly a book or tablet, That was not ripped or tore. When the Prof, came in the morning For he came at an early hour, It would certainly have been fun To see his face turn sour. Then Prof, and Fetterolf and Moses, Tried to clean up before school time, But they had an awful job on their hands For school began at nine. Gktrsfl There is a man in our school Whom everybody knows lie trots about the lower hall In a rather peculiar pose. He has sharp eyes and is quite short, By no means is he thin He formerly hau a long mustache Which partly hid his grin. A Senior knows that he knows everything; a Sophomore thinks that he knows nothing.” The books had been taken from the desks And thrown upon the floor, You could hardly get into the room For they were piled before the door. When they came to find the piano, They sure were up a tree, For the noble boys of the night before Had put it in class room three. The Bible and the bell were things, That Fetterolf could not find, And in the reading of the Proverbs, He got about two days behind. I cannot tell you all the things That were done that eventful night But I wish you could have seen them— That building was a sight. The Prof, said he was not sore And as pleasant as he tried to be Thai all day long he was quite mad We could not neip but see. J. L. N. ’15.

Why Leo S. “scraps” with his neighbors.” BARE FACTS The teacher of the class in English demanded the pupils all write for their daily exercise a brief account of a baseball game. One boy sat through the period seemingly wrapt in thought while the others worked hard and turned in their narratives. After school the teacher approached the desk fo the laggard.“I’ll give you five minutes to write that description,” he sternly said; “if it’s not done by that time I shall punish you.” The boy promptly concentrated all his attention upon the theme as the teacher slowly counted the moments. At last with joyful eagerness he scratched a line on his tablet and handed it to the master. It read: “Rain—no game.” Ex. OH HAPPY DAY When Nora gets her finger nails manicured. When Sleepy wakes up.
