A. iUrrkpUEtiirk Principal Mathematics and Science (•jntruiritr Cautlrr Latin and History tLhr di rr dLilii Greeting To the teachers, fellow students, and all the friends of cur school, we present this, the third annual number of “The Tiger Lily.” Because of the high standard and success of the previous editions we have felt that the task of improving on them was no easy one. Our past experience had convinced us that the expense connected with the production of the other books was such that we felt justified in increasing the price of subscription tho we fully realized that such increase would lead to much more being expected of us in this number. Determined not to be daunted, we worked hard and faithfully and now that the book is given over to you, we hope your expectations are not disappointed. We hope, too, that you will judge our efforts kindly and fairly. We have shown both sides of our school life, the serious as well as the funnier and more frivolous side. Nowhere have any “slams” been intended and we hope nothing in our jokes will be interpreted as such for all were published only in a spirit of good natured fun. We wish especially to call attention to the pages devoted to the interests of our advertisers. Every space deserves thoughtful reading and consideration. No small part of the success of our book is ciue the cooperation of these friends, the business people, and every loyal student and friend of our school will show his appreciation of this service by patronizing them and helping them liberally. We would also thank all others who have helped in any way to contribute to the success of the book: the encouragement and help of the teachers; the loyalty of the classes; the students who have given suggestions and literary contributions, and the people who helped with their subscriptions. ffhr Cilt aarii nf tEMtnrfi Kathari Evelyn Fulmer ’15 Arlene Holden ’15 Raymond Reznor ’16 Margaret Funcheon ’16 Cecelia Snyder ’17 Miller Ernie A.

Arlene Holden Josephine Welsh (Cnlnr Violet and Gold Jflmurr Violet rniur Fcur long Winters ago in the wonderful moon of the hunters, Into this quiet vale, the camp of the wise chief Berkenstock Came a crowd of many brave warriors and maidens; Many their numbers and strong, their hearts as the heart of the eagle, From the four corners of heaven they came to the tent of the Wise One, Came in their youth and their pride to learn the wisdom of old men. Peacefully dwelt they there in the wigwam of the Big Chief, Quietly sojourned they there till another season rolled o’er them. Some of their maidens were lost, their warriers slain in the battle, Still undaunted they strove to learn the love of the old men. Merry the lives they led in the peaceful camp of the Big Chief; Many the pranks they played, many the jokes on each other. Another season rolled by, again came the moon of the Hunter. Fewer their numbers now but older they were and far wiser(?) Sociable creatures were they, forever talking and giggling. When came the moon of the cold and the snow lay deep in the forest, Anon did they steal away and prepare to go for a sleighride. Many adventures they had and many good times on their journey. And when at last they returned, they had not lost a scalp-lock. Then when the warm summer wind came murmuring from the south land, The light-hearted warriors and maidens prepared a g”eat feast and a pow pow In the great public teepee, by the trail where the iron clad fire horse Shakes all the ground with its coming, and shrieks, and is gone in the distance, Great preparations they made and numerous viands prepared they, Then when the feast was all done, they summoned the Seniors and teachers, Even the big Chief himself who sat in the midst of the council. (Ehr ILijrr Lih When each of them had eaten his fill they smoked the peace-pipe together. Courteous speeches exchanged and wished each God-speed on his journey. Again the Moon of the Hunter has come ar.d gone in its glory; Agam their number has dwindled until they are now only fourteen; Fourteen warriois ana maicens, Siout-hearted, brave and courageous. Many the battles they’ve fought and many the times they have conquered ; Valiant are they in arms and wise in the learning of ancients. During the season now gone, two of their wise teachers left them. Far have they journeyed away, far from the tents of the Big Chief. Then in the place of the one came a warrior high as the heaven. lie walks with his feet upon earth, his head in the clouds like a giant. Ever the custom has been in all the tribe of the Big chief, That as they leave his tents they should journey away down the main track Over the mountains and lakes to the land of the Great White Father-Many the struggles they’ve made to get wampum enough for their travels Many the things they have sold they aid them on their long journey. Only a few sleeps ago in a tent in the midst of the village. The brave youths and maidens arrayed themselves in strange and unusual costumes, And acted out a story to please their friends and their kinsman, First of all their tribe who ever attempted such playing. Now is approaching the time when all must depart for life’s journey. Each one must go from the other and try his skill in new conquests, Each perhaps go far olf and seek new fields and new game trails. For over now are these days, and another Moon of the Hunter Will find them scattered and gone, away from the camp of the Big Chief, But all will be hardy and brave, and may Manitcu keep them in all things.

Her other distinguishing craracteristic is giggling, and at this she is highly accomplished. It must be a gloomy day, indeed, that does not produce something at which Alma can giggle. Even a flunk does not repress it. She is also a talker and her tongue is always so busy that she was not able to keep it in, even when she was having her picture taken. She has one more failing, her fondness for flowers and greenhouses. Ask her about it. tbutarb (£atliu “Jove knows I love—but whom?” Ed is noted for his loud ties, screaming socks and numerous girls, all of which create some excitement and are very much in evidence. All his classmates have given up trying to keep track where he spends his week-ends and why he misses so much school. The task was too complicated. He was chairman of tne committee on rules for student government and performed his duty faithfully. It is our sincere desire that throughout his life he have the same faculty in finding good times as he did during his high school years. Eiu’liiu Jfulmrr “A maiden, not too bright and good, for human nature’s daily food.” Evelyn is a busy girl with all her numerous duties and more numerous pleasures. She is our best student and sets the pace for the rest of us Seniors, notwithstanding the fact that she indulges in midweek parties. Her greatest difficulties are keeping argumentative Seniors quiet during class meetings and making us get soap orders in on time. She does not worry much however, and if she keeps on as she has begun, she will gain her place in the world. iKautmuti) (Tanlru “I wish the man who invented work had stayed here and finished it.” Here is a good natured fellow who is almost willing to do his share of work but never willing to miss his share of fun. He started the year with three ambitions: first, to keep his pompadour in place; second, to have a girl; third, to graduate. In the first he has been successful tho it has cost him many anxious moments and innumerable interviews with his mirror. In the second he has not failed, if we judge by reports and Raymond’s blushes when he is questioned on the subject. The third seems possible for he can almost catch sight of his diploma if provided with a multi-lens telescope!. However, once he gets his stride in life’s race, he will be sure to win. Aritrlln (£nrp?r ‘‘Perseverance wins the crown.” Ardella is a quiet country lassie who is oftener seen than heard. She has occupied a front seat all this year tho why we do not know. Her special delight is doing physic experiments at which she is quite a shark. She often entertins the Seniors at her country home,, for which we are very grateful as we always have such a jolly time. Ardella is planning to teach and we are sure she will make trim' ittanyuli) “Come, let me clutch thee.” Ernie is a corking football player. He expects to try for the Varsity when he goes to Bucknell next y ar and we think he will make it. One thing the rirls like about Ernie aside from his many attentions to them is the splendid looking blue suit he vvears. Occasionally we notice a long, wavy, auburn hair cn the coat sleeve of said suit,—an interesting 3 gn. Ernie’s motto is, “On with the dance, let joy be unconfined,”—and he lives up to it, especially when the dance is a Senior party or a sleighride. Delia iRumauifl “Laugh and grow fat.” This jolly, happy-go-lucky person is our poet and one of the inseparable Senior twins. Everyone knows when she and Alma are about by the noise taey make. First one giggles a solo, then both g: rgle a duet. Sometimes they have to giggle with a giggle, giggle, giggle; they don’t know why they giggle, but they giggle just the same. Della never worries about anything; a little thing like a flunk never bothers her. In some classes she has distinguished herself, especially Algebra. Of this she is so fond that she cannot drop it so she has spent four years on the subject. How she will miss it when she leaves school! Jflmifi ODstraniter “What he says you may believe and pawn your soul upon it.” Last year Floyd surprised himself and his school mates by jumping from the Sophomore class to the Senior class. We were glad to welcome him and he has made a strong loyal classmate, and also a good record in scholarship. He has proved himself an athlete being a valued member of the basketball and track teams. He is a jolly fellow and despite quick temper, we have learned to admire his good qualities and have found him a splendid friend. Arlrtir ifinlilrn “Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast.” A glance at her picture tells you what sort of a gin Arlene is,—good natured as shown by her twinkling black eyes but with a will of her own as shown by her chin . She is the secretary of the class and not the least of her worries is making the Seniors get their soap order in on time. Tho Arlene has been in our class only this year, she is one of us and enters with a zest into anything which is going on. Arlene is brilliant in all of her school work es-pcciaTy Geometry, in which her forte is demonstrations. She is a talented musician and expects to study at the New England Conservatory of Music. ffii'rluut iSa'lnilmry “Argue on forever you may, but I’m convinced that mine’s the way.” Herbert’s life seems equally divided between two aims: Never to be vanquished in an argument, and never lail the prey to leminine charms. He is always prepared for an emergency in either case and so far he has never been caught. He is a rather serious fellow given to a reasonable amount of study ar.d is sailing thru his senior year untroubled by tne things which harass a Senior less studious than he. We can wish for Herbert that he will be as successful in copeing with life’s problems as he is in mastering the problems of the class room. Sinac iflaher “Thy deeds would make thy ancestors blush in their graves.” As pretty as the flower that bears her name, as witty as the race to which she belongs, and as popular as the Irving Berlin rag which sne ptays. Rose is a valued and much loved member of High School. She is the musician of our class, and she has also shown remarkable dramatic ability in the class play. She has served her alma mater in many ways. She was a member of the first “Tiger Lily” board, and class president in her Sophomore year. She expects to study music in Philadelphia next year, and some day we expect to hear of her as a prima donna singer. UubbpU Iratty “All smiles and courtesy was he.” Russell comes to us from the district school and though he was a little slow getting accustomed to the work here, he has finally developed into a strong Senior. He devotes much time to study and it is probably due to this fact and the distance he lives from town that he could not give much attention to athletics. He has always been a loyal and reliable classmate and is now a Senior representative on the student council where he is doing good work for the success of student government and all other school activities. BROWN LEE-WELCH Tlic marriage of Josephine Welch and Louis Clyde Brownlee took place Wednesday afternoon at three o’clock at the home of the bride on Soijth Main street. ' t ; 3hiFPt� hitip Itiplr-h “Free Juniorsque mihi nullo discrimine agetur.” Josephine, our class treasurer, is one of the most beloved girls in the class. After studies are over, she is ready for fun and helps to make a good time for the rest. She worries much about, exams, our class finances, candy sales and the Washington trip. She is also kept busy keeping her corner of the room in order, especially Herb and Floyd, tho occasionally she enjoys a quiet confab with Esther. She was on our first Student Council and her work there made us all proud of her. tKalpli 2almir.fr “His cogitative faculties immersed in a cogibun-dity of cogitation.” As one can readily see, Ralph is a thoughtful lad, who thinks deeply upon numerous subjects. No one has ever been able to find out whether he is dreaming of some shy, sweet maiden, some by-gone athletic victory, or a long forgotten Gallic campaign. Whatever he is dreaming of, his musings must be pleasant, for he arouses himself only long enough to accomplish the superhuman labor of passingf?) a Caesar final, or to distinguish himself in some athletic event, and then relapses once more into peaceful meditations.

Evelyn Fulmer Priscilla Prim, the Squire’s housekeeper Rose Maher Ebenezer Ham, the country boy......... Ernie Mangold Job Hardy, the stranger,.............. Edward Catlin Ike Johnson, the constable,........... Herbert Rhenborg The play is a comedy in two acts dealing with the simple hearted people of Old Acre, a little village down in Maine. The first act takes place in haying time. Jaff asked the Squire fer his daughter, but was angrily refused. Then ’Lisbeth Ann comes and encouraged by her he tells of his love thru a letter which she herself writes while he spells out the name. Then comes trouble. Jaff is accused by the Squire of stealing and the money is found in his pocket, where Job Hardy, the jail bird, had put it. The scene closes when the deacon tells the Squire he will stand by his son to his last dollar. The last scene occurs in winter. It is the night before court sets for Jaff’s trial. Nothing has been heard from him since that summer day when he left to search for Job Hardy. But his parents believe he will come, even after the last train brings no Jaff. The deacon finding ’Lisbeth Ann unconscious in the snow, brings her in, and learns how her father drove her away because she loved Jaff. Job returns to confess his crime. Then Jaff comes and marries ’Lisbeth. Everyone is happy now save Mary Jane who wants to marry her beau, and the Squire who has lost his daughter. Russell Strang was a decided success as the honest hard working farmer. Muriel Ventres fitted splendidly into her part, the kindhearted, overworked iN'ew England housewife. Floyd Ostrander, as Jaff was the leading man of the play and astonished ad by his splendid acting and the earnestness he put into his role, nearly bringing tears in the tragic parts and with skill and grace acting the sincere young lover. Evelyn Fulmer was the pretty and winsome object of his devotions. Arlene Holden, as Mary Jane, the irresponsible country girl, and Ernie Mangold as Ebenezer, the country gawky and her beau, took humerous roles. Again and again they brought down the house with their antics. Rose Maher played to perfection the role of old maid. Priscilla Prim with her cork screw curls, white face and gessipy way was one of the hits of the evening. Even the way she chewed her gum brought a laugh- Raymond Cauley, as the penurious, hot tempered old Squire, Edward Catlin as the villian of the play and Herbert Rhenborg, the co nstable, did their parts very well. Che (tiger Lil i ntuir (£laaa Will Know all men by these presents that we, the Senior class of Port Allegany High School, the county of McKean, the state of Pennsylvania, considering shortness of life, and being of sound mind and memory do make, declare and publish this our last will and testament.

Our Class started out bravely enough with thirty-five members in the Freshman year but misfortunes and matrimony have pursued us until there are but six left. Two became so brilliant while staying with us that they were able to skip a year and go into the Senior Class. Some of the others thought they could learn more outside of school than in so they deserted our ranks. So now our new band is few but tried and true. The size of our class has offorded much fun and comment for the other classes, but the very fact that it is small has its advantages . Where will we hold a Class meeting? is a question that never worries us. We can hold one anywhere,—on the stairs, around the fountain, around the president’s desk or even by the telephone. Noisy Junior classmeetings are something unknown for we never have disputes or disagreements, because as the result of good, practical judgement to discern between wise and unwise suggestions, albldecide one way. Our class officers were easily chosen and when the Student Council was appointed, there arose in our class no such trouble in electing members as ini the other classes, for every Junior could be a member. Ijiatory We are big in enter-prise, ambition, and class loyalty. Our banner has been flying from a school-house for three months. The Seniors’ did not fly more than three hours, while the Sophomore’s banner hasn’t been flying to the breezes at all. ine basket social given by us at the Gymnasium was reported a great success by all who attended. We were especially delighted to find a new way of raising money, as the old method of having candy sales has been quite overdone. The Freshmen since have been congratulating themselves on how much they were able to raise by a social, but the original idea came from us Juniors, who set the pace. One thing yet remains this year in which to distinguish ourselves; viz, the Junior banquet. To this the Seniors are looking forward eagerly for they have leaned to appreciate the abilities of the Juniors and are anticipating with pleasure this most important social event of the year and because the Juniors will take the responsibility for it, they will not be disappointed. To anyone but a Junior this may sound like too much self-confidence but by working together faithfully and unitedly, we have had a successful year, accom-• plished much and have learned the truth in the old statement, “In unity there is strength.” Che Cii cr Alii (Ihr fflaruriana With S turr This was the third time I walked around the block in a vain attempt to summon up enough courage to enter a dingy, evil smelling little shop with the sign, “Bird Store,” over the door. “It was no use getting scared,” I argued with myself,” now that you are here in this part of the city walk right in that store and buy your bird and go home before someone kidnaps you. Again I was walking past the shop, and glancing up, saw two such villainous looking Chinamen coming towards me that I turned and rushed thru the door, in my fright and haste falling over a great fat Angora cat. Picking myself up as quickly as possible, I looked around for thi propi ;etor. No one was in sight so I stopped to make the acquaintance of pussy and try to summon up a little courage. But instead, a cold shiver ran down by back as I looked at the the sleek, purring friendly sort of cat- These cats eyes were positively uncanny, they looked so human. And the way she grinned—it reminded me of someone I had seen recently. Why, yes, Esther, of course. Who but Esther wore such a perpetual smile and had such a comfortable slow and easy kind of manner? But what could this cat have to do with our Junior class President? “Nothing' my common sense told me, “you are simply over excited.” So I turned my attention to the birds who all the time had been making a great racket. A little bantam cock dressed in a fawn colored coat came strutting down the aisle, crowing arching his neck and looking around very coyly. Suddenly he darted away under cages and over boxes now and then appearng at unexpected places only to run off out of sight again, crowing and chuckling all the while. “Hew very funny,” I laughed, but then came the thought, “How like Lot Reznor he does act! He even looks like him!” The Angora cat gave a big “meow!” and my terror came back afresh. “Nonsense, there is nothing to be afraid of, said my common sense. And I went over to look at a little magpie, who was keeping up a ceaseless chatter. But again that spooky feeling came over me for a little bird sounded just like Margaret Funcheon cackling and those eyes had a familiar look too. “What wouldn’t I give to be home”! groaned,“If the owner doesn’t co.ne scon, I'm going.” Just then a shrill squeak made my hair fairly stand on end. But it cane from a droll little screech owl sitting up in one comer. Hardly knowing what I was doing 1 commenced to giggle hysterically, “How do you do, my lady. What pray, is your name?” I addressed her. “Everything seems possessed with likeness of Juniors, so you must be one. Let’s see—who was a wise one in the Junior Glass? Ah yes! Hattie and a talkative one too. Sense, you’re getting to be a regular heathen talking of Lirds with human souls.” The shrill voice of a parrot rose above all the other noises and I stopped to listen for he really seemed to be talking English. “Want-cha-pict-chur drawed ?

The Magician enchanted me. We are all enchanted. The Junior class is under a spell. Run!” he cried shrilly. The cat arched her back and hissed. The magpie screamed . The cock cackled loudly and the owl skricked. Filled with terror, I tried to run but there in the doorway stood a little dried-up, bald headed Arab with a queer wand in his hand. He raised the wand and my limbs grew stiff. “So you have come to join your classmates,” he said in a sepulchral voice. “It is well for I have wanted a heron.” He waved the wand and 1 felt, feathers beginning to grow. I tried to scream but my voice was a shrill cry-I raised my arms but to my horror they had already turned to wings and a long bill projected from where my face had been. With my heron cry still ringing in my ears, my eyes slowly opened and saw, not the magician’s bird store, but my own little room. “Thank the Gods! that was only a dream, I sighed with relief, “It seemed so real and natural for all its grewsome-ness. I wonder why,”—but here the clock struck the hour to arise and hurry for school- O. L.

Altho we are a jolly class and seldom object to having a good time, we are hard (Elaflfi Mabel Anderson Marcella Boland Harry Calhoun Joe Fulmer Kathleen Hardes Hilding Larson Martin McCarney Edmund Sullivan Cecelia Snyder Alice Sanberg workers and we feel that no other Sophomore class has gained more knowledge in one short term than our own. In argument and oratory our class may be numbered with the best. No doubt some of the great orators of tomorrow may be from those known as Sophomores this year. Our well filled treasury proves our success in financial matters. This money has been raised by class dues, forfeits and numerous candy sales.

The clauses, the phrases, all dressed in their satin, And every loved ending that makes us feel blue; The high-sounding doo-dads and outlandish diet, The slave with the spear and the Roman who fell, The verbal gerundive, the noun crouching nigh it, Are hidden in Latin which I love so well. Chorus That time-honored Latin That iron-bound Latin, That moss-covered Latin Which hangs on so well. The subject, the verb and the bow-legged compound, The flexible gerund and subjunctive mood, The clauses of purpose encourage the pronoun To take the possessive and silently brood; The loose-jointed supine and verbal declensio' s Join hands with conjunctions and joyfully dwell In temporal clauses of Gothic dimensions And e’en in the Latin which I love so well. This moss-covered Latin I hail as a treasure, Its magical value brings peace to my soul; It raises old Ned with my fleet-footed leisure, And hurriedly causes the moments to roll. How gladly I seize it with hands that are eager, And quick to my study I scamper pell-mell; In scanning its pages I dodge all the fever. The measles, the shingles and smallpox -is we’.i.

Grace Phalin (Enlnr JFlmurr Brown and White Rose “By Diligence We Prosper.” IFrealiman ijiistury When school opened in the fall and the Fr shmen trooped into the High School, the upper classmen stood up in astonishment. There we came— Freshmen to right of them, Freshmen to left of them, Freshmen behind them, Poured into Study Hall. As they filled up the rows of seats, the other students kept moving over, until the upper classes thot they would have to sit on the window ledges, or betake themselves elsewhere.. But matters were finally adjusted and everyone found a place. The upper classmen decided we looked quite at home and seemed to have taken possession of things very calmly, so they gave us no Freshman reception. But we soon became acquainted and did not mind such an oversight. Not only are we strong in numbers, but we have proved ourselves just as strong in better qualities, and all the others, teachers included, have been moved to admiration by our push and energy. (Tho the upper classes don’t admit this, they think it so we dare say it.) When the class scrap came on in February, the Freshmen proved themselves formidable opponents and it taxed the ingenuity and resources of the other three classes combined to keep us in proper subjection. To us, too, belongs the honor of having our banner fly from the clock tower the longest and then the brown and white was not taken down without a hard struggle- The Freshman have won other honors which we might publish, but to spare the feelings of the Seniors, Juniors and Sophomores, we will save the telling of them until another year, when the story will be more kindly received. Here’s wishing that all of our class may stay together, united and loyal, until 1918 brngs us to our graduation.

Cintorials 3flmitbaU iJtarala A football player recently was ruled out of a game for slugging. A little later a man was sent out from the side lines to take the place of another player. This new substitute’s face was almost covererd with strips of adhesive plaster. It was noticed that this new man played with special skill, and it was later discovered that this fellow whose face was so well covered was the one who had been disqualified. Sharp practice of this sort might in a certain period of the past have been ignored and even considered praiseworthy. What happened in this case, however, shows that that time is gone. As soon as the fact was discovered, an investigation by the athletic authorities of the institution which the disqualified player represented was at once begun. It was discovered that the captain of the team was disabled for the time being and did not know what had happened, and that the student manager of the team was in the field house. The coach of the team, however, not only knew of it and acknowledged it, but said that he was responsible for it, and justified himself because it accorded with his standards as a professional. The Athletic Committee, consisting of three members of the Faculty, acting in conjunction with the Student Council, immediately dismissed the coach. The big game of the year was yet to be , played—the game with Rutgers; but there was no hesitation on the part of the authorities or the representative undergraduates in this action. This happened at Stephens Institute, the well known technical college at Hoboken, New Jersey. The undergraduate paper, in the course of its comment on the game, had this to say under the title; A Protest. “Steven may not be able to have a winning football team. She may not be able to have many victories in lacrosse, baseball, or track, or be rated as a power in the college athletic world. But there is one thing Stevens can have as long as the red and gray is worn—clean athletics.” In the course of this action Dr- Humphreys, President of Steven Institute, put aside his class-room work until the thing was settled- The occurrence has b en of greatest credit to Stevens Institute. In connection with this we cite another instance which we like to believe is expressive of a growing spirit in American athletic. In the game between Ford-ham University, an important Catholic institution in New York City, and the University of Vermont, each side made a touchdown. To the uninitiated it should be explained that after a touchdown, which is reckoned as six points, the side that makes it is allowed the privilege of a try at goal, which if successful, adds one more point to the score. After the touchdown made by Vermont the goal kicker was successful, £hc (Lijrr Tibi and seven points went to Vermont’s credit. After Fordham’s touchdown, however, there was a difference of opinion whether the goal kicker had sent the ball between the goal posts or not. One of the officials declared that he had the ether that he had not. Most, if not aU, of the reports of the game gave the score as a tie. At the first opportunity a mass meeting of the Fordham students was held, and it was unanimously voted that the game should be recorded as a victory for Vermont. The Ford-ham students preferred to accept defeat than to have recorded against them any discourtesy to a visiting eleven, or any uncertainty as to their right to a point credited to them. Minor matters these, perhaps, from one point of view, in the news of the day; but they are really not minor in any real sense. The men who follow sharp practice in athletics are the men who are willing to escape moral obligations in business provided they can avoid legal compulsion, the turn sharp political tricks provided they can do so without penalty, and who make of treaties “scraps of paper.” The men who follow the other practice, illustrated by the undergraduates and authorities at Stevens and Fordham, are the men on whom must depend business confidence and busines morals, from whom alone the country can expect any progress in political honesty and public service, and to whom the world has to look for the substitution of international confidence ;',n 1 co opeiation in place of war.—The Outlook. tud?ut Okutmumnit Well, it is here. No longer is it a mere fancy, a dream, a topic for class discussion. It is a reality, it is in the process of experimentation, and now we a 'e governed by ourselves. No teachers to tell us what to do, or what not to do. We try to do it ourselves. Perhaps we had better give a histoi y of the matter and toll how it all came to be. Of course you know it was the Junior and Senior English classes last year who first began to think seriously of student government in this High School. But conditions did not seem favorable so the class of 1914 graduated, disappointed in not being able to have it while they were still here- However their class discussion and interest bore fruit and culminated in our first form of government which began along in the fall. In order to do away with the class usually reciting in Study Hall the first and second periods in the morning, we were thrown on our own responsibility, with no one in charge. But this scheme was a failure, because of the lack of organizion, and the fact that there was no one who was responsible for conditions. The classes came back in Study Hall then for a few days, but soon our “natural desire for popular government,” as Mr. Ward would say, asserted itself and again we tried student government for the first two periods. But this time we had a student committee, composed of one Senior, one £ltr Cigrr Lilli Junior, one Sophomore, and one Freshman, and one chosen from whole school. Each period had its own committee, whose membres were supposed to keep order, but this proved again impracticable, because they had no real authority and no method by which they could punish offenders. This went on for some time and while the order was good some days, on other days it was unsatisfactory. But finally, the day came, that wonderful day that is still oiscussed so much, that day when the melee came in the morning and our hot discussion in the afternoon. You remember, don’t you, how the Freshman opposed everything, an upper classman proposed ? Also the rousing meeting in classroom 1 ? How we obtained equal representation? How the teachers stood and looked on, amazed at our sudden ferociousness? How we got out at 3.20 without having a recitation? Lest you forget the date of that eventful day, it was the twenty-third of December in the year of our Lord, nine-hundred and fourteen. It was upon this day that our committee for making rules was selected and soon after Christmas vacation, the rules were submitted, voted upon, and accepted. Here they are as they were posted: 1. Number allowed to talk, not to exceed three at one time. 2- Time allowed to talk, not to exceed two minutes. 3. No one is allowed to speak twice in a period. 4. No sitting together. 5. Anything that is a detriment to the school to be abolished. This includes eat- ing, whistling, whispering without standing, throwing paper, collecting in halls or cloakrooms, and talking in an undertone while standing. When we returned to school after the holidays, the new system began and has continued in operation, so now we have student government in Study Hall from nine until four with exception of the periods between bells. The first week, the list of offenders was long, about ten or eleven, the next, eight and now we have gotten to the point where we have four or five. Our present council have been quite lenient to offenders, but lately, the punishments are getting more and more severe. Of course, this is right for now student government should be such an established fact that the rules cannot be forgotten, as perhaps they were, at first. We should call it a success now, but yet there is much room for improvement. Here is where every student can show his school spirit and loyalty, by making a matter of personal responsibility and pride, the maintenance of good government and a high standard of conduct. Cannot we all try to improve conditions? Should we not, if we see that the misdemeanor is committed intentionally, report it; and if it is not, then keep silent? We should use our common sense about that, and not report people to “get even” with them, or because we ourselves have been reported. If each one will do his part the scheme will be an entire success ; if they will not, only a partial one, as at present. There are times when we cannot restrain ourselves as, for in- Che Ciger 3£il • stance, the week before Easter vacation, when April Fool’s Day came, and every one was more or less excited. That week the council did a wise thing. They did not meet. We concede that these times do come, but they are ex- (Elafifi Last Spring before graduating, the class of 1914, presented to the High School, a copy of Bologna’s statue of the “Flying Mercury.” Always an enterprising group ot students they finished their school career with this beautiful gift, a gift, too, which has been enjoyed by all this year. They left also an example which others are preparing to follow. The Freshmen have decided to raise funds now to purchase their gift to their alma mater and to try to present it soon as possible; at least before the end of their Sophomore year. Their ambition is to have a flag pole erected on ceptions and the council will treat them as such. Let us all try to do our best to make student government an entire success next year, and may it ever continue to hold sway in the dear, familiar old P. A. H. S! A.

Several have approved of the plan of purchasing the class gift, if one is to be made in the early years of the high school career. At that time as a rule, the class is large and better able to stand the expense. There is this point, too, to be considered, the donors themselves have the pleasure of enjoying the gift during their remaining years in school.

Tho the Freshmen and Sophomores had gained a big lead in the points won by the basket ball games, in the track meet they fell behind. The Seniors had no track team at all, and the real struggle was between the Freshmen and Juniors. Tho the Freshmen had good material and gave promise of proving a formidable team, they were unsuccessful, several of their contestants being debarred because of failure to keep the conditions imposed. The Juniors were the winners with a high score in points, Ralph Zahn-iser winning many of them Oy carrying of first places. The cup has been suitably engraved and is now in possession of the school, one of the most prized trophies ever won thru athletic sports. (Uir Clrark R nt The greatest achievement for some years in our athletics was the winning of the county championship banner by che track team. Altho our school has sent many good teams to Smethport and has held records for a time, this is the first meet we were able to win. We are highly encouraged by the victory and pleased w’ith the results of our training. We had little trouble this year with smokers and are proud that not a single fellow used tobacco while in training. It was a clean cut victory from the start, beginning with Baker’s getting second in the hundred yard preliminary. In the final he made a fine start and held his lead to the tape, outrunning the Kane man who had beaten him in the preliminary. The time was 10 seconds, a new record that may last for some time as this is unusual time for an ordinary school meet. In the Running Broad jump, Port won second. The half mile was an easy victory for Port, Miller winning in 2 min. 14 Vt sec. The pole vault was tied by Kane and Hazelhurst; another record was broken, and a new one of 9 ft. ¥■ w- £hr Cii rr iiil 8 in. established. Port was unsuccessful in making a point in this event as she had expected. But Port won in the Hurdle race, and also tied Smethport for first place in the shot put, taking also thii d place. The Half Mile Relay was an interesting and exciting race. In the confusion at the first Ralph got a poor start, but he reached Laymon second, who, tho he ran well, was outstripped in the second lap by other runners. Miller reached'Baker about third. By this time Kane had gained a good start, but Baker ran a beautiful race and won by a big lead. Ralph Zahniser won first in the Running High Jump. Then he tried for record, but was unsuccessful. The Quarter Mile was an exciting event. Miller was behind thruout the race but when within fifty yards of the finish, by a special spurt was able to reach the tape ahead of the Kane runner. The last event, the four mile was a hard race for the day was exceptionally warm and many runners had to drop out. Here Crooks won a third for us. and the meet was over. Port had won seven firsts, one second and two thirds, a total of 41 points out of a possible 100; Kane came second with 33 points. Each winner of a first place including all four of the Relay Race men, were awarded medals. Port won more medals than any other High School has ever won at a single meet before, and she also won the large banner which now occupies a conspicuous place in our study hall, and is the pride of all our students.

IFmitbaU The good fortune we met with in the track meet seemed to encourage the football players, for judged by victories it was the most successful football season we have had for years. In one thing we were disappointed and that was scarcity of teams with which to play, most of our neighboring towns having no teams this year. Our first victory was won over Emporium, October 17. The game was very interesting, and for the first half uncertain. The second half showed a decided change and tho stubbornly played by our opponent, resulted in a score of 20-0 in our farvor. The Port team was greatly disappointed, because a return game with Emporium was cancelled ; the latter had one of their players quite seriously injured in practice and tru. team was disbanded for the season. The second game was played on the home gridiron with Eldred High School. In 1913, this team had won the reputation of being the strongest aggregation of football players in this section and as they had lost but few of their good players, their 1914 team was rather formidable. The game was probably the hardest game of the season. In the first half, Port played brilliantly and scored well but in the last half, Port had to fight for every gain. The score at the close was 9-9. The third and last game was played with the strong Bradford High School team. The day was very cold and part of the game played in a storm but it was a steady hard-tought game, Port winning by a narrow margin. Of all the teams Port has ever played, Bradford was one of the cleanest and most sportsmanslike. There was no complaining and protesting and they expressed themselves as well pleased with the decisions of Referee McGonnell. We were unable t� play return games with both Eldred and Bradford; and were also disappointed in not being able to play a game with Kane High ILltr Ciijrr jlili School. If Fort could have won a game from them we should have held the football championship for the county. One thing more about the season which is satisfactory to us is the fact that the fellows kept in good con- dition and adhered more closely to rules of training than ever before. The result seems to have justified the contention, that such training should be kept up if a team is to be successful. • p Haakrt Hall The basket bah season has not been so successful. The team tho it worked hard, met with disaster from the first so the games with outside teams were given up, there being but four such games, two with Smethport and two with Shinglehouse. The school furnished as good material for teams as ever before but it seemed impossible to develop a winning mr . ■ tlcruj 111 fit ten by a iflrmbrr j .

I open my book with weary heart; The empty room re-echoes to my sigh. How fain would I from these drear walls depart, I watch the clock with eager, longing eye. Oft did I too, with happy heart and bright, Leave the dull school and the sadness there confined; But lo. last eve I studied not a mite Of that long hist’ry lesson Mr. Ward assigned. team. It is thought that no small part of the blame rests on the fact that our floor is about half the regulation size and that we were obliged to play teams accustomed to large floors.

McCarney rr o M • n 1 - £he (Eiger Lil i (Ujr Drnuut Just before sunrise in a little va'ley of southern Tyrol, as I was filling the water bottles preparing to start the ascent of the Sasso Bianco an old peasant, who had been eyeing me curiously came up to the well and asked whence I had come and whither I was going. When I replied that I was going up the Sasso Bianco he was greatly excited. “The castle,” he cried, “look for the ruins of the castle and the buried treasure.” “Buried treasure?” I exclaimed, whereupon he told me the whole grew-some history of the lonely castle from the time it was built in the fourteenth century by the cruel Visconti of Milan, to the story of its present day ruins. “But what of the treasure?” I interrupted impatiently. “The treasure!” he repeated holding up his hands in horror- Look not for the treasure. It is haunted by demns. My friend Hes-sel went up to the mountains in search of treasure and met a demon who chased him and brought his whole family misfortune the rest of their lives.” But I, not believing in demons was captivated by the idea of enriching myself and all my friends by hoards of long buried gold, precious gems and antiques from the time of the French Revolution, so I gathered all the information the old man could give, concerning the location of the castle, before Clementi, my guide, came with the mules. Then I secreted a spade in the pack saddle and we were off. At noon we stopped to eat lunch about half way up the mountains and leaving Clementi to watch the mules while they rested, I wandered off to get a better view and enjoy the scenery as I told Clementi. But the beauties of nature were lost on me that morning for as soon as I was out of sight my feet seemed winged as I sped on along the rocky ledge following the old peasant’s direction to the castle. At last my hopes were rewarded for there on the very edge of a precipice were tumbled piles of stone and rubbish. And running up I looked down upon crumbling walls of great deep dungeons and wonderful passageways- I chambered and slid down and began feverishly exploring them but found no sign of treasure. My how cold it was and dark and damp! There were some chains and oh horrors, near them lay some bones. And to my over excited mind the horrors ana suffering of the prisoners who had been kept there and perhaps died there, rose before me till I was possessed of a wild impulse to turn and run back into the sunshine to Clementi and the mules. Perhaps there were demons. It certainly was wierd and gloomy enough to be their abode. Hark! what was that strange moaning sound, like a soul in agony ? As I stopped to listen a tiny ray of sunshine shone through a ci-ack on to something bright and shiny. I made a dash towards it and immediately a waving dark thing in the shape of a man seemed to hover over it. This was too much! I turned and fled down the passage and turning a corner came directly upon an opening into the solid rock. A subterranean passage! surely this led to the treasure chamber. Demons or demons, I would find out; so getting down on my hands and knees I began to crawl through. It was pitch dark and the earth slipped away from my hands as if it was down hill. Some places it was so low that my head hit the ceiling knocking down dirt and sand in my eyes and down my neck. What was that queer rustling sound behind me! I tried to stop but here the bottom of the passage was wet mud and so steep that I began to slide faster and faster toward a light spot, probably where the tunnel opened into the treasure chamber. The rustling noise behind me grew louder and louder, filling me with terror, but just then my head hit a sharp projecting rock so hard that all my resistance gave way and 1 fairly shot out through the opening of the passage, not into the room filled with gold and silver but into the nothingness of empty air. Above was the ruined castle and below the bottom of the cliff. As I whirled over in the air a great black monster shot out from the end of the tunnel with a w'hirl of mighty wngs, and darting below caught me with such a shock that I cried out with pain. The monster had great red eyes which blazed like fire, a flat nose and huge grinning mouth with great ugly teeth. He had four arms and four legs with clawlike hands and feet and huge bat like wings which seemed to overshadow the whole sky. “Oh,” I thought as he held me in a vise like grip by the shoulder, “why didn’t I believe the old peasant ?” “Now! “said the monster, n a voice like the roaring of a great furnace and a breath like smoke so hot it burned. “Now! my term of captivity is ended. You dared to come here without the mystic sign and as a punishment you shall guard the treasure for five thousand years while I have a vacation.” And grinning, horribly he held a bottle of black, steaming mixture. “Drink this and you will have my handsome figure and I’ll be free,” he chuckled. “No! No!” I cried, vainly struggling to free myself. “No! No!” but slowly he was prying my teeth apart when a strangely familiar voice said “So you finally decided to come too after that tumble!” and looked up, not in the face of the demon but at thhe faithful Clementi, who was pouring wine down my throat. Far above me towered the cliff and away in the distance was a tiny black speck like a bird but I knew it to be the demon who guards the treasure in the lonely ruins ot the castle on the Sasso Bianco. —Olga Leora Snyder—’16. fyaipuya of thr (brrat Mr. Berkenstock;—“Do you catch it?” “Wait once.

I was living as a ghost in the upper regions and was well satisfied and contented with my lot and my surroundings. In tact, while pondering over this very thought of how free ghosts are from the cares and responsibilities of the lower world, I began to think of those earlier days 1 had spent on that troubled sphere called the earth. Then 1 wondered idly what had happened down there since I had left; wnat had become of my friends and the old familiar places of my girlhood. 1 had not met many of my schoolmates in this great abode of departed spirits, alchougn in the centuries to come I expected to meet and hold many ghostly conferences with them. But until that time should come I must satisfy the restless longing by visiting some of my old haunts, especially the old High School. No sooner did the thougnt come tiian it was acted upon and I was on my way back to earth. The journey seemed very short, for soon I found myself threading my silent way between the tombstones and out throgh the gate into the world wnich I had left some twenty years ago. Fortunately, the day on earth was bright and sunny, so I could betake myself unobserved to where our High School used to stand. I had no trouble in finding the locality; habit had grown so strong during those years I attended the school, that unconsciously, I started for the side entrance, as in the past days, when I suddenly realized things were changed. Looking around I Scarcely recognized the place. Instead oi the one corner lot, the school building and grounds now occupied the wiiole square. 1 could scarcely believe my gnost eyeys. 1 stood looking for oid laminar sights. The gloomy tomb-scones at which I used to gaze were gone; the church next door, the barn in tne rear, and the cheerful roosters who used to crow so lustily during the study period—where were they? All gone. The big red, brick building, the wooden fire escape, yes, even the basement stairs, roofed with tin and on which the boys used to sit and kick their heels against the poi'ch, and vanished. And in their place, covering a goou pare of an entire square, stood a magnificent grey-stone structure- This work of modern art was built in somewhat the same style as the for-mer structure, but the entrance was directly in front, and built under a high arch. On each side of the wide stone walk that led up to this entrance, and surrounded by velvety, close cut grass were fountains, representing classic figures, beautifully scu%l|ufStl. All of the details about the building had been arranged with the same careful observance of regularity, the iron fire escapes, with which each window v s supplied, harmonizing beautit y with the grey-white of the building stone. Jti So absorbed did I become in the contemplation of this pleasant picture l almost forget the object of my' But this was soon brought to my Chf ILirjrr Lihi by the appearance of what I took to be the Principal, hurrying along up the walk and into the building. So, plucking up my courage, I followed in his wake. The metamorphosis inside had been just as complete as outside. The large main corridor which I first beheld was light and airy, and groups of beautiful statuary rejoiced my eye. The lower story of the building was used entirely by the Freshmen for their study hall and classrooms. But I was in such a hurry to examine the other classrooms upstairs before the pupils arrived, that I passed on with only a glance in at the open doors. After ascending the broad and noiseless staircase, I entered another large hall, a duplicate of the one below. In this hall were hung the life size portraits of all the famous men and women who had had a hand in building up our great nation. But, alas for me, although I searched long and patiently, I could not find my portrait among them. Dismissing my grief at this lack of appreciation of my fame and ability, I repaired to the study hall of the Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. My glance fell at once upon our Nike, in a fair state of preservation, and I greeted it like an old friend. Then I looked around for Mercury, and there he was, still ■ t poised for flight. I even fancied that I saw a gleam of recognition in his eyes, but it was no doubt merely a prank of % mv active imagination which I still retained. Another friend was the frieze of Alexander, at which I used to gaze when - working some difficult mathematical problem- Time had not dealt so kindly with this as with the other sculptur-ings. Alexander’s nose had been shorn from his handsome features, a catastrophe due to some student’s skill in using him as a target, but he still sat firmly on his horse, which galloped on in spite of a missing foreleg and an abbreviated tail. These and other shortcomings, however, did not change my affection for the frieze. My time being limited, I new turned my attention to the desks and cloak-roams. The desks were upholstered with cushions and looked so comfortable and inviting. By each one was an individual drinking fountain and apparatus fer wireless communication with fellow students, a convenience which rendered unnecessary the old time whispering and writing of notes. At each desk, also, were mechanical pencil sharpeners, automatic carriers of waste paper and many other such improvements. As I looked at them, I could not help but remember some of my schoolmates and wonder what they would have done without the opportunity of making innumerable trips to the waste-basket, and of trotting around to all their friends to borrow a knife. These were popular diversions in my day . Tne cloak rooms were large and airy, and fui'nished with long beveled mirrors and padded coat hangers. There were also racks for holding overshoes, umbrellas, packages, et cetera. The l'inging of a bell now recalled me to my surrounding, and I hastened to the hall to watch the pupils enter, and the bell being rung. But in dhr din r —'lu the latter I was disappointed. I expected to soe the tail, intellectual looking ■ ydung man of my school days toiling ' peisistently at a rope which dangled from a hole in the ceiling. But such old-fashioned methods had been abandoned and the bell was now rung by means of electricity, adjusted to clockwork. The incoming students were another example of what time and environment can do to people. Equal suffrage now prevailed throughout the nation and even in the schoolroom could the changes brought about by it be seen. The girls were now dressed in plain, business like, mannish-looking suits, and they discussed the topics of the day and athletics together with the bo s, who did not now assume that superior “we know it all” air toward those whom they in former days considered their inferiors. But one important change which caused me to rejoice greatly was the subdued and submissive behavior of the Freshmen towards the upper-classmen. They now assumed their proper position, kept to their side of the hall, were very willing to do any favor required of them and showed in many other ways the higher degree of civilization to which they had attained, and made me blush for very shame when I thought of the impudent Freshmen of my High School course, especially during 1914-15. But it was a comforting thought that to the upper classmen of 2,000 was vouchsafed that respect for which we strove so long and mightily. Strange tho it may seem, those Freshmen we had so much trouble in subduing that memorable year, were the very ones who in 1915-1916 put the new Freshmen through such a rigorous course of training that all Freshmen since nave been more humble and submissive- With the ringing of the last bell, tho busi loss of the day started and the pupils all quietly took their seats and began to study. The system of student government inaugurated by us in 1915 had developed to such a high degree of perfection that no council now was necessary. Each student had learned to control himself and adjust himself to conditions without any system of correction and punishment. From the schedule on the wa’J I saw that many new studies had been added and the corps of teachers increased. Selecting one subject with which I was familiar, I entered an English class which was presided over by a solemn and fear inspiring professor. There were several stenographers in this room who did for the pupils all the notebook work required. All of the pupils had self-filling fountain pens, which were provided by the school board, ar.d with which they did what little writing was required of them. It was while in this classroom that I came very near betraying myself. Forgetful of the fact that ghosts are invisible only in the light. I had seateu myself in a dark corner. The girl in front of me suddenly turned around and gave a scream. The professor jumped and asked sharply, “What is the matter with you, young lady?” “I saw a ghost,” said the girl, her teeth chattering. “Nonsense! That is an extinct species of the vertebrates,” said the professor, “and it is beyond my com.- £hf (Eiijrr • 9? prehension how a young- lady of the twenty-first century can believe such nursery talcs. ’ After causing such a disturbance. I deemed it advisable to leave the danger zone, so I proceeded to the other class rooms. Of the many classes I visited that day, those most worthy of mention were the manual training class, the chemistry class, the domestic science class, and the class of aeronautics., All of the sooms for these were large, light and fitted up with all the apparatus necessary in performing the experiments required. In the manual tra.ning room each student had a table of his own, on which could be seen many models which illustrated the trade which he was learning. Among th'se wore models of a motor car, an electrical engine, a concrete house complete with all its details, and a torpedo boat with its periscope shining in the sun’s rays. The Chemistry class was engaged in testing some canned goods that had been sent in for analysis and I was particularly careful while there, lest some strong acid should fall on my beautiful bones and do them harm. For though invisible it is a well known fact that a ghost has bones as well as feelings- But I escaped from the class without injury, and went to the class of domestic science. Here a sight that would warm the heart of any housewife met my eyes. Rows of shining electric ranges were along both sides of the room, and down the center, one for each stove, stood two rows of kitchen cabinets back to back. This left two wide aisles on either side between the stoves a-id cabinets. This rcorn, as well as all the other rooms, was fitted up with electric lights. The kettles and pans and skewers and chafing dishes were all neatly arranged in their respective cupboards, and between every two stoves was a white eramelled sink with hot and cold water. The pupils prepared their food in a scientific manner, learning the amount cf nourishment that could be obtained from one dis.. in comparison with that obtained from another, and so on. This was so interesting to me that 1 would have liked to stay longer, but my time on earth bring limited, I continued on my tour cf inspection till I arrived at the plac-' in which aeronautics was taught- This was a lofty, barnlike structure and an addition to the main building, a miniature silk balloon hovered over a long table, covered with all sorts of instruments for measuring air pressure and the like. The balloon was held by means of sand bags which rested on the four corners of the table. The pupils were all gathered around this table listening intently to a little German professor wTith flaring side mustaches, who gesticulated wildly while he explained the workings of the balloon. From what I could hear, I saw that this was merely a beginners class and that the mere advanced classes wjere studying aeroplanes. One curious thing about this room wras the immense sliding doors at one end. Seeing that they were open a few inches, I glided out, determined to see what lay beyond them. Here was a great smooth field which I surmised was used for trial flights with the air- (Thr (Tnjt’r til’; ships. At the other side of the field 1 perceived a building with a dome on top, and found upon entering that it was a gymnasium equipped with all the latest methods for developing the human physique. One third was taken up by a large swimming tank, kept moderately heated in winter. One third was occupied by trapeezes, boxing dummies dumb bells, Indian clubs, mattresses, necessary for all exercises. I also learned that a person was required to do a certain amount of gymnasium work, and proficiency in swimming a s cified distance was a requirement for graduation. The remaining third of the room was used for basketball. At one end of the room was a stair-cas Following it to the basement 1 saw bowling alleys and some billiard tables. Tho new deserted, the room gave evidence of constant usage. Going up the stairs, I came to a very large room evidently used for dances, parties and such social affairs of the students. Following the stairs to another story, I found an observatory where astronomy was studied. It was dome shaped, and in the center was a large telescope adjusted to the angle at wnich Mars could be seen when night fell. There wee also evidences of communications carried on with that planet but I did not stay to decipher them. My bone head was in a whirl because of a;l the newfangled ideas and branch 3 of learning, so I bethought myself of a quiet looking room on the first fijor of the main building, which I ha i noticed on entering. So I repaired thither to collect my scattered thoughts. According to the sign on the door, it was a museum. In it were preserved many things which were of great interest to me. There hung, in a glass case, the very coat which Edmund Sullivan sacrificed in an attempt to quell some rebellious Freshmen in 1915. Carefully preserved in alcohol the last wad of gum ever cncwed by Harry Calhoun was here shown. Here also was a record for a victrola taken ot Mabel McKinney s melodious voice, This record was not played any more for fear ot damaging it. Slightly tarnished, but still an emblem of a pride that once was ours, the Track Team Banner of 1914, one won by the Port Allegany High School hung on the wall. The stuffed birds and squirrels that used to roost in the lower hall were still exhibited, together with many others that had been added from time to time. Reposing on a bed of cotton in a glass case and labelled “The one ar.d only specimen existing” was the identical paper wad manufactured and thrown by Joseph Fulmer, to commemorate the first and only time he ever broke a law of the school. While I was regarding these relics, two pupils entered the room, eagerly discussing seme evidently important event. I head one say, “Yes, he’s one hundred and one years old, the oldest alumnus living.” My curiosity aroused by these phrases, I followed them out of the room and into another, two doors beyond the museum. There I saw a long, richly set table with many people sitting around it. And at the head, In a huge carved chair, sat an old man with white hair. I walked around where I could obtain a good view of his face, and by my ten fingerbones! If it wasn’t Martin McCarney! He was the same old Mart, although he had gone through much since last I saw him. When 1 last heard of him on earth, he was away in Europe, helping the Irish fight the Germans. Just then someone proposed a torst to Martin, and 1 joined in. How coulu he, the good old soul, knew that one of his classmates of ’15 was toasting him to many more years of continued health and prosperity? Another important detail of the banquet was that Martin’s youngest grandson, a Senior, was there. By his resemblance to our old schoolmate, I immediately knew who he was. A clock on the wall of the room struck three and this reminded me of the fact that I did not have long to stay, so I looked hastily around me and prepared to go. I saw that the room In which the banquet had been held was a library with all the reference books for the different studies in separate bookcases. There were chairs here also so that when a pupil had any references to look up, he came in and looked them up without removing the book from the room. I thought of what an improvement that was on our old sys-t m oi having reference books in the study hall, where they would be sure to be any place except in the book case. As I was passing though the building on my way out, I saw all the classes being dismissed. The two things that surprised me were that none had to remain and no books had to be taken home for night study. The teachers had decided that they would not be kept in any more by delinquent students, and the study periods had been so arranged that no lessons hal to be studied at home. What joyful news that would have been to us in those days! Near me was a group of boys talking, and, as I was always interested In boys, I stopped to listen to them. They were discussing the coming track meet, in which they were to take part. I learned in this same conversation that the High School owned a fleet of airships in whch the boys made their trips for outside games. I suppose such a thing ?s an athletic deficit was now unknown. Once again did the fact strike me that it was well that I was dead, for I was too far behind the times ever to catch up with them again. I therefore decided to return at once to my proper sphere and only paused outside the door to say goodbye to the flagpole, the one exterior reminder of my High School days, for it had h-'en erected by the Freshmen of 1915. My visit was over. Tho bewildered by the changes, I thought as I passed back through space to the pale realms of shade, “What interesting information I shall have for my old school friends,” when I meet them in the ages to come.

To trust in God and heaven securely.” —Dr. Van Dyke. Che (Tii rr ilxly firutimsmtarB One day this fall I was visiting one of the oldest residents of Port Allegany, and during the conversation I asked him about the beginnings of the town. The story he told me was so interesting that I want to share it with you. “Between the Susquehanna and the Allegany rivers there is an unusually long portage, on the northern extremity of which is the locality which later became the site of Port Allegany.” The old man closed his eyes in thought and for a time the only noise heard was the gentle rocking to and fro as he attempted to recall the incidents to mind. Then slowly he opened his eyes and continued his narrative: “Remember, boy,” he cautioned, “this happened long before my time; in fact, when my father was a boy, but he has often told me the story, so I give it to you.” “This town used to be called Canoe Place, because travelers found the portage tco long to permit the carrying or canoes, so leaving them they continued their way on foot until they reached the Allegany river at this point, where they built new ones. This work generally took several days so in time there was built a large camp where travelers stayed until they were able to resume their journey. “For many years no one occupied this camp except the occasional travelers who were wandering from place o place trying to pick out the safest and best place for a home. But one fall a young man came this way enrouto for Red Bank, Pa., He recognized the splendid trapping grounds that the river and other streams made, and as a shelter was already built, he decided +o stay. There was plenty of game in the forests and fish in the streams, so the young fellow had no difficulty in getting along very comfortably and in catching, too, many fur bearing animals. When spring came, he built a canoe and went on with his winter’s catch down the river. The next fall he returned bringing with him a companion. Scon the fame of the section as a good trapping place spread, until a constantly increasing number of trappers came At last one of them brought his family and made his home at the camp. About this time my father moved towards Ohio, so he knew little more about the place until we returned about 1350. “Many changes had occurred in the meantime, and the population had grown. Some of the families here then I still remember. Hubbard Starkweather had come for lumbering and settled up Lillibridge Creek. Ludwick Lil-libridge, for whom the stream was named, moved here with his family. Others were Perry Manning, Goodwin, Daniel Dolley and sons from Maine, Gor-tors Stone, Grigsby, V- R. Vanderhule, Gideon Irons, who erected the saw mill, and A. S. Arnold. Arnold came from New York State and built the first store on the site where the Grand Theatre now is. The largest clearings then flir (finer iil were the Alva Lillibridge larm, the Red House farm and the place cf W. J. Davis, another settler from New York. Some of the old houses cf that time are still standing. One is the old Vander-rule home on North Main street.., the Arnold place near the station, and the Shurtz house up the river. The school house then stood near the cemetery. The Post Office was the back part of Arnold’s store. The mail came here by a stage driven by Elisha Burt who every week took the mail from Couders-port to Smethport. The living at that time was comparatively comfortable; corn was brought from Jersey Shore. Indians? Yes, the Indians came here often, passed thru every spring or fall on their way to and from their hunting grounds near Keating Summit, but they never molested anyone. “When the news came here of the trouble between the North and South, it was received very calmly only a few enlisting at first- The sympathies of the people were divided and tho most of the people favored the North there were some believers in the Southern cause Generally on Friday the people would assemble at the store to await the arrival of the stage and news of the war. If a victory for the North was announced, the men would smile but make no demonstration; if for the South, they would look grim and the next week w'ould find fewer men awaiting the stage. The others had gone to enlist. When news came that Lee had entered Pennsylvania, the number left here was few', the others had gone to defend their state.” Here the old man paused again. Finally he said, “The history of the town since the war is to be found in books now; maybe you had better go to them for the rest. This I have told you you is as my father told me and as remember it. Of course, years have gone by since those days and I may not have kept all the things distinct and accurate, so you are not to think of my story as authentic history but merely as the lemimslenses of an old man.” fHuttnlmj, linuiT uuui (Sirls tufty “Come on now; do let’s get busy, and work some of these problems.

S nrirtu jprutnr Jin j Siftr When Ardella invited us down to her country horpe for a wiener roast, of course we joyfully accepted the invitation because we knew from experiences what a fine hostess she is. After hiring the auto truck we started out one brilliant moonlight night in September. Our ride down had ncr especial excitement except that Ernie was so worried about “the dogs.” When we arrived a bonfire awaited us and we were soon eating buns and “hot dogs.” A quartet of the guests thought that apples would taste good, so retired to the orchard where they remained until it was time to depart. Our ride home was marked in the usual dignified (?) Senior behavior. rttiur lrigb tUiiir One clear, cold night in December the Senior class assembled at the school house for another sleighride. As usual they all got there about 9 o’clock and started on their happy journey. When they arrived at the Holden bungalow they spent the evening playing games. Refreshments were served and all too soon they started for home. dlttmnr Ulnx hartal.' ; Are you going?” What are you going to take to eat ?” were frequent exclamations heard in school on December the seventh. That night the gym was the scene of the Juniot box social, to which all students and friends were invited. It was carefully explained to the uninitiated that box social meant that the girls were to bring baskets or boxes of “eats” which the boys were to buy. A gay crowd assembled in the gym at the appointed time and with great enthusiasm plunged into such games as “Molly put the Kettle On,” “Bingo,” “Skip come aloo” and others. Between times we enjoyed Victrola music. Then came the exciting part of the evening, when the mysterious looking boxes, each of which contained the name of the owner, were sold by the auctioneer to the highest bidder. The girls eagerly watched to see who would be their lunch partner, while the boys f he (Tii rr 3Lrlij 1 • Che Cirri' — lu ‘grinned or looked resigned as they read •the nanie in their box. All too soon it was time to go home, so slowly and regretfully we departed from the Scene bf shch good time. iSruuimi of the (Class uf 1U14 True to their promise to each other, the members of the class of 1914 held their long looked-forward-to reunion. . .Last year one of the most enjoyable events of theih senior career was the sleigh-ride party at “Uncle Ebers,” so that night they decided that the next year all would try to meet again and have another such sleigh-nde and good time, at the same place. When the holiday season brought all the classmates home again, the reunion was planned for, and took place on December 28. There was but one thing to mar the pleasure of the evening and that was the fact that one or two members of the classNcould not be present. It was a perfect night for a sleigh ride and the happy crowd thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Besides all the fun and good refreshments there was the the association again with one another after having been separated for a time- There was the pleasure, too in listening to each other’s experiences w'hich had been many and interesting. The party had to break, up and all too soon for the classmates,, but they declared that they w.puld try to have another reunion in the coming year. Suttinr t lrigb tSi e On the invitation of Esther Seyler to visit her home, the Juniors again broke the monotony of school life by giving a sleighride party to which we invited the Seniors. After a delightful ride thru the snow' covered country the evening of January 21, we arrived : Esther s home and w'ere given a warm welcome. The evening was spent in piaying games, particularly “The Prince bf Waifs has lost hfs hat,” in listening to Russells skillfull?) manipulation of the harp and getting acquainted with the dog and the cat. Then came delicious refreshments and an abundance of them, after which Miss Lund w'as painfully aware of her duties as chaperon, so we played just a few' more games and started for' home hoping that the Junior president would invite „ ,. ] ■ i ')■ us again sometime. ■� - r ; JFrrHhmau ”(C” burial The Freshmen held a “C” social, Friday night, March 5th. The guests had to order from the following menu: ' Cured Cucumbers Cook’s Curious Composition Cuckoo Country Cousin’s Comforts Cock-a-doodle-doo Chopped Common-’taters Cereal Compound Cherona Complex Commodities No one knew what he w'as getting, so the making out of an order was a matter of amusement arid deep perplexity. It w'as laughable to see the bewildered looks w'hen the people were Served. There w'ere nearly two hundred present, so the Freshmen realized a good sum of money. £hr (Eiger Lilit rr� huum $Iarty On Wednesday, March 31, the Freshman class gave a party at the gym in honor of Dorothy Morgan, a former classmate who was spending her vacation in Port Allegany. All the Freshmen and a few others were invited. The evening passed very pleasantly in playing games and in visiting, after which refreshments were served. upt?unuirr ilir burial The all-powerful order of the Sophisticated Sophomores gave a pie social in the gym Friday evening, April 30. The event proved a great success, at least in the eyes of the above-mentioned Sophomores. A large number of people attended, some from out of town. The gymnasium was decorated in the class colors, blue and gold. When all had assembled and a few games had been played, the people were asked to go into the space partitioned off for spectators, there to await further developements. These soon appeared in the shape of Ernie Mangold and a chair. The chair was placed before the assembled people and Ernie mounting it, assumed the position probably taken by Cisero during his great orations. The hopes aroused by this oratorical position were soon blasted, however, for he proceeded, without more ado, to auction off a varied assortment of pies, which had been carefully prepared and brought by the girls. The pies sold for good prices, and after the auction, the different couples seated themselves at the tables and star ted to do justice to the pies. In addition to the pies, a lunch consisting of sandwiches. pickles, lemonade and cake were served. At half past ten Mr. Ward began cruelly to assert his authority as chaperone and to remind the merry-makers that it was time to disperse. This they did reluctantly. They determined, howev r, to come again and be the guests of he Sophomores. Up to date no bad results of this wholesale consuming of pies have been noted.
