If you find in it things to praise, we shall be glad of your approval; if you find in it serious faults, we ask you to be kind in your judgements. We shall also be very willing to listen to helpful criticism of our efforts. We have intended to show both sides of our school life, but if the lighter and more humorous element seems to predominate, it is not because we have not remembered the serious side, but because we do not want to forget the funny happenings in the daily routine and grind of our school work. We ask, too, that every one of our people be generous in their interpretation of the jokes, and little knocks upon one another- No malice whatever has been intended, but everything was given in the spirit of fun and kindly helpfulness. Again we w:'sh to call especial attention to the announcements of our business men. We feel that this part of the book has been attractively gotten up, and we would urge most earnestly that all the students and friends of the High School show their appreciation by patronizing especially those friends whose assistance by means of advertising has helped so materially in making this book possible- Finally to all others—teachers, students, contributors, graduates, subscribers,—all who have helped in any way to make the book a success, we wish to express our heartiest thanks, and our appreciation of their assistance. €hc (Eiip'r iil Katharine Miller Margaret Funcheon ’16 Ruth Meachem ’16 Frances Schoonover ’17 Martin McCarney ’17 Martin Larrabee ’18 Mildred Thoren ’16 Raymond Reznor ’16 Cecelia Snyder ’17 Joe Fulmer ’17 Grace Phalin ’18 Helen Thompson ’19 £hr Ci i rr Lily iHnarit nf tiUiratimi Mr. D.

Look hither! what have we here? Joe is one of our hen-pecked masculine members who handles our cash and draws our portraits free of charge. When Joe takes the floor to express his opinions on a subject, we all hold our breath and listen, for we do not wish to miss a word on these rare occasions. We must not omit saying that Joe is our Senior athlete and has done good work in both basketball and football, since entering High School. But don’t talk of girls to that young man. He doesn’t believe in them. flattie -iRritcnue “Shoo! Fly, don’t bother me.” Here is another of the bright, studious members of our illustrious class. Her note-books are models of excellence and, as frequently happens to models, they are used as such by her classmates. One of Hattie’s troubles, and not the least of these, is the governing of her “kid sister,” who tries her older sister’s sense of propriety sorely. But in spite of these domestic skirmishes, this member of our class manages to get her studies well and she may forever be seen translating Cicero or German. Our best wishes go with her as she goes through life for we know that she will find much in it that is agreeable and worth while. Haammth “Trusting to luck.” Raymond is one of the ideas of our class who is always very much concerned as to whether his socks and ties harmonize. He knows a “Lott” about his subjects, and one of his peculiarities is the way he recites German. Raymond’s avocation is drafting, and all of his school books are artistically decorated. He is short in stature, but he’s all there, nevertheless. Raymond has been one of the advertising managers of our “Tiger Lily,” both this year and last year, and in this work has been very efficient and successful. There is a rumor about that he is preparing for college, and w e hope he will succeed if he goes there. .itttlbrei) tDuirett “In arguing too she owned her skill, For e’en though vanquished, she could argue still.” Here she is! Our class president! Who knows where w'e could have found one more capable of holding the position? Mildred has a cheery disposition, but this picture must have been taken w'hen we had forgotten to pay our class dues, for the only time her temper becomes ruffled is when we forget those dues, or call her “Milly,” a name which she considers beneath her dignity. She believes in upholding women’s rights and airs her views on this subject whenever opportunity is offered her. One marked trait of Mildred is her convincing style of argument, used especially in U. S. History class. Her greatest ambition is toward a literary profession. but she intends to spend a year or tw'o in teaching. £i tta .Jfiiwtt “She’s just the quiet kind, whose nature never varies.” This dimpled, modest, little girl comes from Turtle Point, but brought none of the bustle and excitement of the city with her. She was with us as a Freshman in 1911, but spent her Sophomore and Junior years in Crafton High School, near Pittsburg, only to return to us again for her Senior year. Edna intends to teach and her quiet and dignified demeanor will, no doubt, impress her pupils as it has us. -ittarijaret Jfmtchetm “If to her lot some female errors fall, Look on her face and you’ll forget them all.” Margaret is the belle of our class, and a favorite with all. She came from Smethport High School to our school in 1913, and has since that time, taken part in our work and play with great zest. Margaret has held creditably many offices during her High School career, even going so far as to hold a seat in the Student Council, when that august body was in force. It seemed almost a miracle to see Margaret sitting very properly in her back seat, eyeing all culprits severely. But human nature is human nature and such an unnatural condition could exist only for a few days. Then she would again be enjoying herself in her whole-hearted way. She is thinking of a musical career and we know she will succeed if she enters upon it. Unfit jHcitrltitm “She hath an abundance of learning.” This is tl.e likeness of Ruth Meacham, our class secretary. She seems to be one of the few who comes to school merely to imbibe knowledge, but if you have the good fortune to be with her when her Physics experiments are written up, and her lessons for the following day studied, she is just as jolly as one could wish. Ruth entered our High School in 1912, and though she had to stay out of school for one term because of ill health, she worked hard and will graduate with the rest of her classmates who started with her in 1912. Her record has been one of the best throughout her High School course, and this splendid record will no doubt be continued through her teaching career. Che y.ii$cr iltlu s nttnr 0) Jims President....

But even a confirmed doubting Thomas must, sometime or ether, own himself convinced. And I am no exception to the ru!e. One of the many sciences of which I had always entertained my snspiciors was that of hypnotism. Frankly, I thought it a gi eat humbug to lure money from innocent and gullible people. And then came the chance to t st the truth of my belief, or rather disbelief. My home was in New York, that great metropolis where all things possible and impossible happen. One day in Spring, 1928, a friend called upon me and told me some very interesting news. A hypnotist by the name, Dr. Van Glyck, had rented the apartment horse on the corner opposite my bcard-ing-house, and was offering to hypnotize anyone for a very small sum of money. He also professed an ability to remove a person, in mind, to any spot they wished to visit, while in this semi-unconscious state- My friend was enthusiastic about it and wanted me to go with her to see this wonderful person. After some parleying, I agreed to go, although, I believed Dr. Van Glyck incapable of performing the miracle of mind-transmission. When at last a servant announced that Dr. VanGlyck was ready to re- ceive us, we v ere ushered into a large, darkened room, hung with oriental trappings, and filled with a strange, sweet odor. The Doctor, too, with his large, dark, piercing eyes, and yellow, slender, fingeis harmonized with the room. Learning that I was the one who desired to be hypnotised, he asked me to be seated in a large cushioned chair, facing a huge yellow disk, that hung on the opposite wall, and which glowed softly in the mellow light. Then the hypnotist began making, with his long, talcn-like fingers, strange passes before my face, all the time studying me with the direct gaze of his wonderful eyes. At first I did not feel any effects, whatsoever, but in a few minutes I grew drowsy, my head felt light, and I was only conscious of the great yellow disc before me, enveloped in blue haze. At last that too, was merged into the round face of a clock high upon the wall of what I soon perceived was a large room. This room was filled with high, polished, desks, at each one of which sat a girl, studying industriously. In the front of the room was a desk larger than the others and before it sat—could I believe my eyes?--Ruth Meacham, one of my High School class mates, of 1916. I would not have known her had I not heard one of the girls address her. There she sat in £hr (Li rr Tiljt quiet dignity, with the stamp of nigh knowledge on her brow. She held the chair of English in one of our renowned women’s colleges, and she filled it well, both physically and mentally. For time had not changed her much, the same tantalizing dimple remaining in her chin, and the same germ of industry in her wonderful head. I should like to have stayed to listen to the erudite speech on “The Victorian Age of English Literature,” which she was about to deliver, but the blue haze descended, obscuring my view, only to give way again to a dim, yellow, light through which I could see the outlines of a large, enclosed stage. Soon objects became more distinct, and I saw that I was in a large theater, with tier upon tier of faces, ranged before me and off at one side of the great stage a large grand piano. There was a rustle of silken curtains, and out upon the stage stepped a vision in white satin. I was willing to believe anything now, and saw, without surprise, that this vision was none other than my former classmate, Margaret Funcheon. She added a few inches to her height and really looked quite dignified, standing there before the awed multitude. Then she advanced to the p:'ano, from which soon floated out strains of music, the quality of which in beauty and inspiration had never before been equalled, since the days of Beethoven. No wonder the crowd sat awed and silent, listening with strained interest to every exquisite note. How often had we seen those magical fingers of Margaret’s, skilfully twirling a forbidden note or snapping disdainfully behind a reprimanding teachers back, without ever dreaming that they would one day set a world afire with enthusiasm! Fain would I have lingered, enjoying the triumph of this young magician of music, but the relentless blue haze again enveloped everything, only to lift again, after what seemed an interminable period of time, to disclose a very different scene from that on which my eyes last rested. Before me stretched a long, sandy road, bordered with tall palm trees. On one side of the read was a round stone well, against which three dark women leaned, gossiping eagerly, forgetting to fill with the water the tall brown jars they had brought for that purpose. Opposite the well, on the ether sidp of the road, I saw a white brick building, bearing on a spire at its top, the white cross of Christianity. Before this building was a square plot of ground, partly enclosed bv a bamboo fence. As I regarded this building, the front dcor opened, and out came a young woman, leading by the hand several small, black children. As she approached, I had a faint recollection of having seen her before. Then suddenly it dawned upon me that this was Ilattie McKenney! She had become a missionary to the heathen! My doubts vanished completely when I heard her ejaculate, “My Conscience!” as one of the little dark charges performed some rebellious act. As she sat dowm on a bench in the yard she drew out a little green book, and opening it, began to Chr (Liqrr A.i!tt road. At first I imagined it was her Cicero hook, that inseparable companion of her high school years, but I soon dismissed that thought as erroneous. It was no doubt a primer in which she instructed the children gathered around her- I was anxious to question Hattie as to how she liked her chosen profession, and to talk over old times with her, but no time was accorded me, the transforming haze gradually shutting out this tropical view, and bearing me back to old familiar haunts. Again I saw a stretch of road, bordered with green and with rolling meadow's on both its sides, sloping upward gradually to high hills. On one side, shaded by tall maple trees, was a large, square, white farmhouse. I had seen that place sometime before. All at once I remembered. This was the farming community called Turtle Point not far from my home town of Port Allegany. Who of my old friends had flown so short a distance from our old High School? I was not long left in doubt. Hearing a Honk! Honk! behind me I turned in that direction, and there, steering a little Ford in a resolute manner, sat Edna Finn! There could be no doubt of it. After teaching in a country school a few years, Edna had consented to become the wife of a prosoerous fanner boy, from her own section of the country, and now she managed her husband and children in the same quiet, self-possessed manner, we had so admired in school. It seemed that she was the only one of our Senior quintet of girls, who had chosen a matrimonial career. I now' began to wonder about the fate of the two masculine members of our class, and was therefore relieved when the smoke curtain parted to show me R. K. Reznor, sitting in the private office of a large jewelry concern. Raymond had prospered in the business given him by his father, partly because of his genius for advertising. He was very original in this, printing his own placards, and adorning them with the graceful and fanciful curves and dashes w'hich he had practiced and perfected w'hen writing our Senior candy sale announcements on the black board in the study hall of the old beloved P. A. H- S. One old defect about Raymond that I was very sorry to notice was his propensity toward flirting. As a pretty girl passed his office window, he sprang up, ejaculating. “By George, there go -s a peach!” and followed her with his eyes until she turned the corner- I even found myself wondering if he still went to Coudersport to see his (boy?) friends there, as had been his custom when in High School. I was about to speak a few' admonishing words to him on this, his weak point, when the merciless blue haze again enveloped me. Again I saw an office, but of another descrjntion. It seemed made for work exclusively, having three desks in it. The largest of these desks w'as covered with all kinds of manuscript, and before it, deeply engrossed in drawing strangly shaped figures on a large sheet of paper, sat the last of our roll of Seniors- Joseph McCarney. Joe w'as the same Irish laddie he had always been, although his strenuous (Lite ILiurr i-ily mental labor had furrowed his brow and mad'' a small, round, white spot on the top of his head. After Joe had competed his drawing, he drew a leng, black cigar from his pocket, inserted it unlighted in one corner of his mouth, cleared a place for his feet on the top of his desk and proceeded to take his com-fort, first roaring threateningly at a small, weasel-faced office boy who had been sitting hunched up in a corner reading a dime novel. From the directions given the boy, I gathered that Joe was an illustrator and cartoonist for one of our leading daily papers. He had shown a disposition for this kind of work even in his early school years, so I wras not much surprised to see him engaged in it now. As I stood gazing at Joe and wondering whether that white spot on top of his head had been caused by hair tonic experiments tried on him, by his brother, Martin, I saw with wonder that it became larger and larger, until it was the only distinct object in the room. Then with a start I awoke from my trance and found that it was the round yellowr disc, opposite me on the w all in the hypnotist’s room that I had mistaken for poor Joseph’s bald spot. There beside me stood Dr. Van Glyck and my friend, looking at me with quizzical eyes. Do I believe in hypnotism? I would wager my last cent on it, for I have proof sufficient. M.

Well, What do you think of that! £hr Ciyer 3nsrjjh jflctarneji This is one of our youthful seven, who believes that “the pen is mightier than the sword.” If by any chance a pencil or a piece of chalk were left lying in a room where Joe was and in such a place that it could be reached by him, the walls of that room were found, in a short time, to be decorated in a manner never intended. Joe’s parents were much annoyed by this artistic bent of their young and promising son, and sought in various ways to break him of the habit. But genius is genius, though it may not always be appreciated by this cold, cruel world, and Joe now decorates his school-books and the pages of this annual, in the same way he used to d.corate the walls and furniture of his home. But who can hold him responsible for deeds done in childhood. -lHili� rri (Lhorrit Although this child has changed in many ways, she still retains some of her childhood traits. Her chief joy since the time when she was able to toddle around was to have everything her own way, and the neighbors’ ch:ldren had to bow to her royal will. If they d d not, woe to the dolls or crockery that happened to be within reaching distance of this domineering lass! This love of leadership is still continued, although in a slightly modified form, as can be seen in the way she rules at class meetings, and when engaged in a discussion with Frances Schoonover, denounces anti-suffragists. attic -±Hcatenaea This meek little girl always behaved herself and would sit contented for hours at a time if she were given a piece of paper and a stub cf a pencil. Then with painstaking exactness, she would draw queer little curves and dashes, that bear a very faint resemblance to the same figures in her German, Cicero, History, and Biology note-books. No rioubi, this love of writing was inculcated into Hattie while she was yet a child, and it is not an art to be despised, for what literature would now be in exhistence, had not men and women from time immemorial, put down their thoughts that the future generations night read and profit ’ y them ? Jttargarrt Jfititrhrnn This demure little lass looks as though she never did anything but me correct thing. She still retains the innocent and guileless expression of her childhood days. But how deceiving is the outward appearance of things! Margaret’s mother had to resort to severe measures to keep her daughter from roaming the streets far from Home Sweet Home. She even tied her to the table leg and managed in that way to keep her. But there is no keeping her in now, and she can be seen, and heard on the streets of our town, almost anytime of the day. But we hope she will outgrow this wandering propensity in time. llaoituiuii Hciunr How many would recognize in this infant the noble features of our vice-president? Although he has changed in outward appearance, he is still in many respects the same as in childhood days. We have discovered a reason for one of the peculiarities of this wonderful child, which used to mystify his mother, and at times even worry her. Raymond used to go around muttering in an unintelligible manner, as though he were communicating with himself. But the explanation for such a procedure is very simple. He was merely translating his future German lessons. Hath .iUcarham When this little girl and her brothers and sisters started playing school, Ruth always wanted to be teacher, and she would express her displeasure in a very decided manner, if she were refused the privilege. “As the twig is bent, so grows the tree,” and this maxim explains why Ruth is now planning to teach. With the experience she gained in childhood, and the experience she is getting now, Ruth will undoubtedly make a success of this, her chosen profession. Jf i� it From things seen and heard, we have drawn our own conclusions in regard to this little damsel. She had her measles, her croup, and her whooping cough in due season, and without more fuss than was absolutely necessary. She behaved in all ways as every normal, well-regulated child ought to behave, and she has retained this calm, selfpossessed outlook on life.

Alice Sanberg Slimiur ijitstnnj We entered in 1913 with a long roll of fifty members, but accidents and other calamities overtook some of our c'assmates in the Freshman and the Sophomore years, so we entered our Junior year with sixteen tried and true members. The class as now organized should be, in our opinion, the model for the whole school. The other classes may not think so but that view is due to lack of knowledge about us and as no one else knows us as well as we ourselves, we can speak with authority on this subject. We have had this year to contend with a hard problem, a problem too, not common to Junior classes; namely how to get to Washington. Our Principal decided that owing to the smallness of the Senior class, not in stature but in numbers, he would not go to Washington unless the party was larger. We then very promptly volunteered to go with him. Then came the problem of raising the funds which such a trip required. Of course, we tried the old stand-by (and bugbear), Larkin’s soap orders, Then too, we tried selling old papers, given us by willing friends. We also succeeded in raising some money by means of a local talent play, “Engaged,” given under the direction of Mr. Holden. We wish, moreover, to take advantage of this opportunity and thank all who helped to make the play a success. Among our ether accomplishments this year has been the record made in class basket ball. Tho the series was not finished, the Junior team was the only one which came thru without a single defeat in the games played. Another thing we are planning for is the annual social event of the upper classes, the Junior banquet. This is to take place in May and will, without doubt, be managed in such a way as to give credit to our class- That will probably conclude our career as Juniors but next fall will find us Seniors and probably one of the best classes to begin Senior work.

But tho our number has decreased, our knowledge and the old spirit of independence have increased and this year finds us as promising a band as any in school. At one thing we have beaten the other classes, and that thing is money making. But we have an object in getting a prosperous bank account for we hope this year to purchase our school gift, so long planned and hoped for, the flag pole. After that is successfully ac- complished, we hope to begin working toward cur Washington trip. We have taken no active part this year in a class scrap for there was none. We can easily account for this fact. Last year’s upper classes exhausted all then-spite and cruelty on us as Freshmen, so there was none left for this year’s class. Moreover, we as Sophomores were too kind hearted to make the innocent, unsuspecting Freshmen endure what was our portion last year, and so very generously refrained from annoying them in any way.

Then they lcok at our dear Phalin. John is our wonder from Williamsport, We surely find him a very good sort. All sports and studies he enters in And dees everything with vim, But for all this he has poor marks to report. Alice stands out among the best When our class is given a test, She is always sure to come Where she’ll have lots of fun, And she joins it all with zest. Carold is the fellow who has the ‘pep’ For all the good things he can get, He strives with all his might For each worthy goal in sight And with that spirit he will get there yet. Cecil is our country maiden, Both with brains and beauty laden On the piano she plays Songs, dances, and lays. So she is always our peace a raidin’ Our Rose is iike the flower so fair Whose name her people gave her to wear, In all studies she stands well And in some does excell, And at the appointed time you find her there. Louise is a shy little lass And one of the best in our class, That she studies you can tell For she always recites well. And there is no doubt that she will pass. Ivar is a lad with pretty red hair He is usually sure to be right there Always on time he comes, Among the boys he has good chums With whom he his good times does share. Lucy is our algebra shark, She is always sure to get a good mark, When in class meeting we are rude She says, “0 do be good!” And then follows it up with a, “Hark.” Ruth, our telephone girl, is always in a hurry.

T.-’19 vllu' Cii cr Ltlii £ tutorials (Ehr 2mu (Unttrap - Aurtrulturr Port Allegany High School is rejoicing over the new work to be added this fall, the State Department of Education having granted to us a course in Agriculture. With this addition to the curriculum, the usefulness cf the High School should be greatly ircrecscd. Many people have felt that the work of the High School in general has been too restricted, too narrow, serving the interest of the few rather than the many. T’m aim of our educational institutions should be to direct and develop all the available talents of the many. This aim, therefore, is being more fully realized when the opportunity is given our boys, not only in town, but in all the adjoining rural districts to take up a course in agriculture, a subject now becoming of so great importance in this community. Formerly this section placed agriculture second to lumbering, but now the reverse is true. This section is young, therefore, as an agricultural section, but it is coming mere and more into the agricultural ranks and so the opportunity here offered in the High School is most advantageous, not only to the boys by preparing them for their work ,but also to the community by helping it to adjust itself to the new life. The necessity for agricultural instruction in any community, as far as the schools are concerned, is detei’min-ed by the number of pupils to be served by such instruction. The expense for the establishment and maintenance of such an Agricultural course is not justified unless there are at least twelve boys who desire this type of training. Moreover the' co-operation of the parents of said pupils as well as the cooperation and interest of the majority of the farmers is desired. The State Department of Education in order to serve the interests of the different communities to better ad-xaitage has established vocational schools and also vocational departments in connection with existing high schools. The State Department requires that for an Agricultural Course there be at least twelve boys whose interests are centered in such a course and that there be at least one instructor cf Agriculture who devotes his entire time to this work. This instructor should have an equivalent of a High School education. He should be a graduate of an approved Agricultural College- He must have had sufficient practical farm experience to make him familiar with farming methods. Other desirable qualifications are: some experience in teaching in the public schools previous to his entering upon this work; ability to make and use working drawings; and a knowledge of the use of tools and the forge. The course of study is so arranged that at least fifty per cent, of the time of these pupils enrolled in the Agricultural course will be devoted to practical Chr Cigrr ililu subjects. The suggested course of study is rs follows: First Year English ............................. 5 History civics or other academic subject...........................5 Drawing .......................... 1 Shop...............................2 Soil ............................. 5 Poultry Raising................... 3 Farm Forestry..................... 2 Agricultural Projects Second Year English .......................... 5 Biology or other Academic Subject 5 Drawing............................1 Tarm Crops ..................... 5 Vegetable Gardening................3 Ornamental Gardening ..............2 Farm Bookkeeping...................1 Agricultural Projects............... Third Year English .......................... 5 Other Academic.....................5 Drawing............................2 Farm Animals, including Diarying 5 Fruit Raising .................... 5 Agricultural Projects Fourth Year English .......................... 5 Physics or other Academic..........5 Farm Mechanics.....................1 Rural Law..........................2 Fertilizers..................... 2 Farm Management....................3 Agricultural Projects The project work is an essential part of the course of study. It is largely this work that places the Agricultural instruction on a vocational basis. It furnishes the opportunity to connect the work of the school with the life of the farm, fer the projects are usually carried out on the home farm rather than at school. This close co-operation of the school and heme increases the efficiency and service of the former as it brings it into clcse touch with the daily home activities of the pupils. These projects are carried out not by groups but by ca:h individual student. A careful survey of the farm and home conditions of each student should be conducted by the instructor of Agriculture before the selection of any project by the pupil. The hearty co-operation of the parent should be secured. One boy may undertake the entire care of a dock of poultry, having a definite aim in view in so doing. Another may set out and care for a small orchard- Another may choose the raising a crop of corn. The student is prepared for the work on his project by the work in the class room and laboratory and by careful individual study. The Vocational Division of the State Department of Education keeps in touch with this project work. A report covering the work to be undertaken in a project must be sent to the department for approval before it is undertaken. A daily record will be kept by each punil during the courses of a project. The daily record will show amount of labor and money expended, methods employed and results noted. At the termination of a project a complete record will be drawn up by the pupil and sent to the State Department for approval. The instructor in Agriculture is employed for a term of twelve months. ihr Cii r i.i 11 The most important part of his work is during the growing season. His summer work will cors.'st of supervision cf project work and instruction in connection therewith. His assistance should be ?s freely given to boys who are not enrolled in the school but are carrying on project work as it is to those who are enrolled in the school. He should circulate freely among the fanners of the district giving whatever information and help he can. Of course, this fall only the first year of the course can be attempted, the other years’ work being added as fast as the classes advance. In con- Arr fmt Suing When the “Tiger Lily” began its existence four years ago, the management and editorship of the bcok was undertaken by the Junior class. The first two editions were produced under those conditions. With our third edition, we inaugurated a change; instead of having the book issued by the Juniors, we turned it over to the whole school, choosing on the board of editors representatives from every class. We think the change was a wise one, for the book is one in which every student should take a personal interest. The book is one, too, in which everyone should take a personal responsibility. Every student should feel that he has a share in it, that on his own efforts with his fellow students’ efforts rests the success of the book. Tco many seem to have the impression that the board of editors is responsible for everything in it—all the literary material, all the jokes, the advertising, the subscriptions. Such ought not to be nection with this course, there is to be given an opportunity to boys in the High School who are not taking the regular agriculture course. For these boys who desire it there will be a class organized for shop work or manual training, the work to be given by the same instructor the boys in the agricultural course have. This will probably be taken advantage of by many of our present students. The boys of this section are being given an unusual opportunity by the new couise. It is believed that it will prove, too, one of the most popular courses in the school system- Ilnur i lmrr? fir the case. The editors do undertake to plan the book, to help organize all its work, but to the whole school belongs its success. There are many students who could give excellent suggestions and work out original and interesting ideas, write stories and furnish other interesting literary material, but they are satisfied to say, “Oh let the committee do that, that is their business.” The committee can do part of this work but the bcok will never be the success it might be if every student did what he could do for it in any of the different lines of interest. Begin thinking and planning now for work which will help to improve our “Tiger Lily” next year. We never have as many stories as we need; if you have talent in this direction, why not cultivate it? We need good drawings, good poems—many other things and we believe our students can produce these things if they will only try. Why not try? Thr Cii rr OIji Smnrstir rinirr All around us we girls hear that the boys need a new gymnasium, the boys need an agriculture course, the boys need manual training work. All the athletics is for the boys. We girls get tired of hearing what the boys need, why not give the girls a fair chance? Therefore I suggest there be introduced into the school a subject which will benefit the girls. There are many cf them who do not intend to go on further in school after their high school work is over. T1 at is one reason why they should have an opportunity to study domestic science. The only things we ask for are two rooms and a teacher. One room cculd be arrang- ed for cooking and the other for sewing. Other schools of the size of ours have the subject and have made a success of it. Why couldn’t we? We should like the chance to prove our ability in the work- We must be the future home keepers of our town; is it not essential we have preparation for the work? We think our influence in the future must be as great as that of the boys and we ask the people interested in the future development of our town to think of the p’an we suggest. E on the we may not be able to enjoy the advantages of the course, we should like to see the coming classes have it. M. B.—’17 u hr Hifrranj oruUj In High School this year, we have tried a new plan for giving the pupils self confidence and ability to express what they have to say, in as few words and as fitting a way as possible, whenever they may be called upon to speak before an audience. This is our “Literary Society,” composed of all high school people. A committee of five elected by the school people and assisted by the teachers make out programs which are partly literary and partly musical. These programs are posted usually two weeks in advance so that everyone who is to take part has had a chance for preparation. Every Friday afternoon the last hour of the session is devoted to this work. A chairman chosen from the committee takes charge of the af- ternoon exercises. The subjects, which have already been taken up by pupils are practical ones; for example, discussions have been given on Manual Training and Domestic Science in our school, value of an agriculture course in our school, ideas for improving our town, electric light system, and the explanation of our town water system. Besides the above mentioned, current topics are discussed and the students are thus kept in touch with world happenings and know a little something about what is going on outside of Port Allegany. Many of the pupils are entering into this new work with great zeal and are making the most of the opportunity offered them. So far our society could be ca'led a success, yet we realize that (Lhe Ciijrr Ttlv; there is room for improvement. It should readily be seen that this course is as valuable as any given in High School, for in whatever occupation the pupils may in the future be engaged, they will sometime be asked to speak before an assembly or group of people. Others have found this difficult and sometimes quite embarrassing because of lack of previous preparation or training. Would it not be so with us? Therefore, let us follow the Boy Scouts’ Motto: Be Prepared. £ tufcrut (Smirrnmrut Student Government is plainly not a complete success in our high school. True, great advances have been made from the system as it was a year ago-Then it was only in a primitive condition, an experiment. Now the experiment has been tried and we know that some part of our form of school government must be revised or it will go down in history as a failure. There are several reasons why student government is at present not a success. Too many offenders go unpunished, because they are not reported to the council. The attitude of the school as a whole seems to be, “I won’t report him this time,” and as a result he goes without punishment. We should see when such an offense is committed that the guilty one receives his just reward. Some people say that such reporting is tattling, but that is not a correct view. Such a matter affects the school and school dicipline; therefore, it is for the good of the school. Tattling is telling something that affects only the one telling it. You can easliy see the difference- Another reason why student government is not a success here in our school is that the Council have not always used their best judgment in giving punishments. Sometimes the first offenders are given the same punishment as the habitual offenders who have done the same misdeed. We should be careful, too, whom we elect to the Student Council. We should choose these whom we know are the best fitted to hold such an office and not those who happen to be the most popular in the classes at the time. It should be a personal matter for each of these elected to see that all who do not obey the rules are punished and that all matters of school government are as wisely handled as possible. For a third and most important reason, too many students fail to have a sense of honor in their conduct They will take any sly, underhanded means to break the rules and not to be caught. In endeavoring to make student government a success we should remember to profit by past failures and not make the same mistake twice. The pun'shment should be more varied and more severe. Habitual offenders should be severely punished and barred from study hall. If this were done and the offender disapproved of instead of laughed at, it would tend to have only minor offenses to be looked after by the council. Our experiment in self government is being watched by many people. Whether it is a success or failure will decide whether it will be established in other schools near here. Port Allegany is the only school in this section trying it. Let us both as a school and individual give our best efforts in behalf of a government by the people for the people.” 73 Chr (Liarr ihl ; djool StljleticS (Tlir (Track (Tram The annual track meet of the High Schools of McKean county was held in September and even tho Port did not prove very successful, the meet was very interesting.

Our team though not quite as formidable as tne one the year be-foi'e made up this deficiency by its variety of plays. The season as a whole was more successful; more games, too, were played. The first game of the season was p’ayed with Coudersport October 13, a id resulted in a victory for our school. Our team played well and succeeded in making one touchdown in the first half and two in the last half, running up the score 19 0 The next game was played away from home with Smethport, October 31, and was an easy victory for Port. Our team outclassed Smethport’s and the game ended with the score 13-0 in our favor. The third game was with Emporium High School on the home grounds, November 2, and was one of the most interesting games played. The teams were about evenly matched. Although the ball was in Emporium’s territory most of the time Port did not succeed in scoring because of the opposing team’s stubborn playing. The score at the finish was 0-0. The fourth game played was the return game with Emporium on the latter’s grounds, November 9, Emporium had a heavier team than the one they had brought to Port and although our team held them scoreless the first half, they succeeded in making a touchdown in the third quarter. The home team made a valiant effort to tie their opponents and advanced within 10 jards of their goal but did not have time for a touchdown before the end of the game. The score was G-0 in Emporium’s favor. In the next game with Coudersport November 13, we were more successful. Our team and Coudersport’s alternately made touchdowns and toward the close of the last quarter the score was a tie- In the last five seconds Port made a field goal winning the game with a score of 16-13. On November 20 we played a return game with Smethport on the home grounds. This v.as the last home game and resulted in an easy victorf for Port. All of the points were made in the last half and at the finish the score was 18-0. Our Thanksgiving game with Bradford was most disappointing to us. The main cause of our defeat was the condition of Bradford’s grounds. The weather had been very rainy and Port, unprepared for holding a swimming contest out of season, was defeated by a score of 60-0. This was the return game for the game which we had won the year before on the home grounds- On the whole, the season is regarded as having been very successful; not a little of the success was due to the splendid coaching of Mr. Kennedf and to the many new' plays which he gave us. BASKET BALL TEAM First Row, Calhoun, M. McCarney, Kennedy (Coach), Larson, O’Connor. Second Row, J. McCarney (Captain). £hc Cigtr Lily Daskrt Wall The Port Allegany High School was represented during the basket ball season of 1916, by one of the strongest teams in the history of the school. This was due to the fact that our tram had one of the best ccaches in this part of the slate. From practically inexperienced men he developed a skillful team, a fact proved by the team work and basket shooting exhibited during the season. Mr. Kennedy, our coach, is held in high esteem by all students for the interest and patience he had in developing such a team. When the first call for candidates was given about eighteen appeared and after about two weeks practice the varsity five was selected. Coach Kennedy also spent a great deal of his time in working with substitutes; for he believes in preparing for future teams. The team played seven games and won six. The schedule called for about twelve games but two or three out of town teams cancelled their games at a late hour. The first game of the season was played at home with Smethport, our old rival, with Port the victor by a score of 35 to 24. At the second game Port realized its strength by defeating one of the strongest teams of Olean by an overwhelming score of 69-21. The WHAT THE TEACHER TAUGHT HIM The small boy had just returned home after a most tumultuous day at school. third game was disastrous to our boys when they were defeated by the Olean Bachelors. The fourth game was played at Ccudersport with the strong high school team of the place- Port having recovered from the previous game, gave one of the best exhibitions of the season, especially in its team work, final score being 24 to 16 in Port’s favor. The next game was played at home with Johnsonburg, which is supposed to be the strongest team in Northern Pennsylvania, but it met defeat at the hands of our team, due especially to Larson’s floor work and J. McCarney’s shooting. Score 49 to 41. In the sixth game Port inflicted an overwhelming defeat on another cf her rival high schools, namely Shinglehouse, by a score of 68 to 10. On the following Friday night, Port closed her successful season by again defeating the Coud-ersport boys, with another high score of 56 to 22. The same team with the exception of J. McCarney will represent our High School on the floor next year, M. Me Carney having been elected captain for the season of 1917. With the present foundation Mr. Kennedy expects to turn out a much stronger team next year. Let us all co-operate and give him our hearty support. M. G.

About eight o’clock guests began to arrive at the gymnasium, where the reception was held. When nearly everyone had come the Freshmen were sent out into the hall. The upper class-men formed in two long lines and the Freshmen were forced to march single file between these lines, while the upper class-men shouted: “Yell! Yell! Everybody yell! Freshmen, Freshmen well, well, well!” Now the ten commandments were read to the Freshmen by the president of the Junior class. This is a sample of them: “Freshman boys, thou shalt not lift thine eyes unto the Freshman girls until the upper class boys have had a chance;” “Freshmen, thou shalt not presume to hold thy class-meetings until after four o’clock.” After listening to these, the Freshmen were each forced to do some special stunt in turn and then the initiation was over. All now joined in the games which the amusement committee had planned. A mock track meet was carried on with great fun for the participants as well as for the spectators. Representatives were chosen from each class. Rolling-beans across the floor with a toothpick was the two-mile race. Throwing a paper bag filled with air was the shot put. Chewing a string to one end of which an animal ccokey was attached, was the hundred yard dash. Dropping beans in a small necked bottle was the hurdle race. Eating crackers was the relay and carrying potatoes across the gym in a spoon was the mile race. A pie eating contest concluded the track meet, which was won by the Senior class. Refreshments consisting of sandwiches. pickles, cake, and lemonade were served at half past ten. At half past eleven the party adjourned. All who attended reported a most delightful time. ijfiallnutr’i'u Jartif Perhaps the joiliest affair of the year was the Hallowe’en party, which was held at the gymnasium Friday evening, October 29. The gym was decorated with cornstalks and pumpkins and dimly lighted jack-o-lanterns- About eight o’clock mysterious personages began to arrive. Of course there were ghosts, some with pale cheeks, some with rosy cheeks; fortune tellers,anxious to reveal for you your future; Gypsy maidens, eager to dance; clowns, annoying everyone with their foolish prattle; even Little Bo Peep who had carefully locked her sheep in the fold for the night and Little Red Riding Hood, who had escaped the clutches of the wolf, were present. A gentleman in a dress suit was promenading with a bell boy in white uniform; Spanish dancing girls lent music with their jangling ornaments; ILhf (fiprr 4_ilw a cow-boy and an Indian brave added some excitement with their noisy whoops; Indian maidens were conversing with the long pantaletted dames of a Turkish harem; one tall youth with garb of a skeleton and death’s head pursued a dainty sheperdess and a matter of fact cow-girl. Much time was spent trying to find out, “who was who.” This was difficult because when any one spoke it wts in an unnatural tone. Squealing voices, gruffy voices, and voices half way between the two could be heard about the room saying, “I know who you are,” “I could tell you anywhere,” “I know you by the color of your hair,” “If you don’t wan’t to be known you better change your walk.” etc. By this time the candles in the lanterns were about burned down so the lights were lit and everyone unmasked. It was really funny to see the expressions on the different faces when they found out the mistakes they had made. The usual games were played until ten o’clock. Then Hallowe’en refreshments were served and disposed of by the hungry merry-makers. It was growing late when the guests departed and all declare they had a most enjoyable evening. Sljimhlr JJartit “’Tis sweet to remember And a pleasant thing to find That tho you may be absent You are still kept in mind.” This little scrap of rhymed verse came to my mind, when on December the twenty ninth, nineteen fifteen, I received a card inviting me to a thimble party to be given by the girls of T6 and 17 for the girls of T4 and T5 in the High School building. Would I go? Well rather! Wasn’t it just what 1 had been wishing for—to see once more in the dear old school my classmates and my old friends? So.I gladly accepted the invitation. A blizzard was in progress when the hour of the party arrived, but this kept only a few away and altho we missed our absent friends we were all pleased to see those« who did make their appearance. We had a pleasant time but I am afraid our tongues flew faster than our needles—knowing this would be the case I didn’t even bring a needle. We taled of the days of “auld lang syne” and then each girl gave an account of herself and any absent friend she could. Some were away at school, some were teaching and still others had other employment. One of the girls of T4 had to leave the party early and when next seen by her friends had changed her name from Miss to Mrs. The girls of T6 and ’17 very kindly gave us the latest news from High School and answered all our questions. How quickly the time passed and soon our charming hostesses served a delicious and refreshing lunch—and then all too soon our party broke up— not however before Mr. Moses had called and wished us a Happy New Year. I am sure I voice the sentiments of all the girls of T4 and ’15 when I say that we all appreciate and enjoyd their efforts to make us feel we were “Still kept in mind” and we all hope that some day when they have left the dear old Chr iltyrr 4_ilu Alma Mater that they will be called back to attend a thimble party given in their honor and that they will enjoy it as much as we did. D. E- M.-’14 1314 Sdruthriftr au Uruttiou “Good bye until next year” were the words the class of ’14 called across the snow to each other as they rrade their way to their respective homes in the gray light of dawn, December 30, 1915. So it was because of the promise to meet again that eight cf the class gathered in front of Gallup’s store and after much asking for absent members of their class, piled into a big sleigh and were carried joyfully on their way. Perhaps we were a little silent at fi. st—only eight out of fourteen had made their appearance, and we had only left our alma mater eighteen months before- Did this falling off of members hint of future days when we would be even more dispersed? This feeing couldn’t, of course, last long and soon we rrade the night air ring with our school songs and yells. Our chaperon was Mrs. Wm. Howell and since she knew only a few of us we enjoyed making her feel at ease by tilling her little tales about each one. We told her of Bill and Bumpy’s antics in our Senior year, of the “Corner Club,” of Christine’s fondness for physics “lab” and many other “auld lang syne” tales. By the time we had made Mrs. Howell familiar with cur histories past, present, and future, we had arrived at our destination, the little white school house where our “Mona Darfeather” teaches “the young idea how to shoot.” It was cold out side but here in the school everything wrs warm and “comfy,” thanks to Mr. Hazen. After removing several layers of outer clothing, we toasted our feet by the warm fire, talking reminiscently the while. Then for entertainment we pretended we were school childrn once more and Mena taught us. Bill and Bumpy were as noisy, and Pauline and Oral as chummy as ever. Mary poked Bumpy for the sake of old times. Christine slammed seats for the same reason. One of our classes was a drawing class—subject, the horse—the finished picture was a very good example of cubist art school, was finally dismissed and lunch served—the coffee was delicious. After singing a few songs we bade farewell to the school house and were soon on our homeward way. We premised to have a reunion the following year, but I fear that as time passes our number will dwindle away until only two will keep the tryst—in a one horse, one seat cutter. D- E. M.-’14 1913 Urumim The class of ’15 were united once more at the heme of Arlene Holden December 27, 1915. The evening was filled with “Do you remember?” and “Wasn’t that a joke” and “Recollect the day” interspersed with the magic words “Prof,” “Fetterolf,” “Ward” and later in our reminiscenscs “Hanniwalt!” We rssure you that every thing we ever did or thought of doing or thot the faculty did to or for us was discussed pro and con. Of course the first Senior class play had its share and the ILhr (Liner Lily Washington trip with all its inconveniences and fun was also brought back into being for the hour. Games had been planned fer the evening, but our tongues kept up such a continual clatter and chatter that there was no time for anything so ordinary. After a lunch was served to the hungry Seniors, I beg your pardon— alumni, we dispersed with many a good night and rash promises for the future. Jluttuir “3T burial Entering study hall Friday morning November 20, for the usual day’s proceedings, we were greeted by the following sign, which seemed to be causing many a forbidden whisper: Junior “J” Social to be held At Gym. To-night Everyone Welcome. Well, the Juniors wei’e known as an energetic and enterprising class, so all awaited expectantly for the good time. Oh how the hours dragged that day! The lessons had never seemed so long before. At last the old bell in the tower struck the hour of four. Books were hastily put away, wraps were thrown on and homeward we went, to prepare for the evening festival. At eight o’clock, a crowd had assembled at the Gymnasium and we began to play games such as “Polly put the kettle on,” “Skip come aloo,” “Bingo,” “Pop goes the Weasel,” and many others. In the midst of a game of “Farmer in the Dell” the Juniors announced that it was time for refreshments. We all sat down on the seats, which were scattered about the room, and made ready to give our order. Im- agine our surprise, when the following menu was handed to us: Junk of a Jolly Jew Jamaica Jarred Jam Jointed Jelly Fish Trip to Jupiter Jumping Jack Rabbit The unique menu offered no end of amusement. The evening passed all too quickly and we regretfully left the serne of merry-making shortly after we finished our lunch. Ualrnlm? The Sophomore Valentine Party held in the gymnasium was a complete success. People began to arrive at eight o’clock and were met at the door by policemen who fined them if they looked like old maids or bachelors and fined them if they were too gay. It seemed impossible to suit those Sophomores for they were always ready to. fine a person as soon as he moved. And if he didn’t move he was fined anyway. A stern and severe judge presided in a gayly decked booth and before him the trembling victims of Sophomore vigilance were arraigned. This judge pronounced the fine and gave a receipt for the same. When ten cents worth of receipts had been obtained, the guest proceeded to another booth in which a “Clerk of Cupidity” held sway. This a.ugust personage presented the offender with an “Immune Card” which told to the public at large that that person could be fined no more. Another of the booths that was well patronized was the one from which the “Professor of Prcposalosophy” proclaimed his learning, which consisted mainly in matching hearts. The young man who y.lir (Eiqr r Lily got a heart of a certain size and color ate luncheon with the young lady who had a heart like his. This luncheon which was served at ten o’clock, consisted of cocoa, sandwiches, and heart-shaped cookies. After luncheon everybody joined in the games which were played and had a good time. At eleven o’clock the party came to an end. A generous amount was cleared by the industrious Sophomores. U?t. patrirk's Day Varty The Freshmen held a St. Patrick’s Party at the Gym on March 17. This was the first social event attempted by the Freshmen and well did they acquit themselves- The Gym was appropriately decorated in green, as were also the tables- Even the waitresses wore green aprons to carry out the color effect. There was a large crowd present, and all “fell to” and enjoyed themselves. After the games and singing a lunch was served. The menu was as fellows: Boston Baked Beans Paddy’s Cake Irish Bananas Tipperary Stew St. Patrick’s Pudding Dublin Salad Mike’s Standby i’Hrfisaricii hat hall 31 fclrrt In answer to a request from the “Tiger Lily” editors I am sending this message to you. 1 think their idea was that since I had been a short time ago a student at the HighSchcol, 1 could understand the conditions there and the sentiment that prevails among the pupils; and that now being a student at a higher institution of learning, I could know now from experience some of the student needs to look forward to and prepare for. Hence I have chosen my subject, What Shall I Elect? We hear the question at the beginning of every term- Of course, high school offers fewer electives than colleges, but at high school cne should be very careful about choosing with reference to what one expects to do in the future. Our high school offers a short course in bookkeeping; this course everyone should take, for in all lines of work, bookkeeping can be used to advantage. The choice of languages, advanced mathematics, and agriculture depends upon the length of time one expects to stay in school, the preparation for more advanced work, or the immediate use to be made of high school training. In my chcscn course, Domestic Science I have found that no ot..er subject has been of so much service to me as Physics. Girls nearly always have a horror of it and if possible, do not elect it but if they expect to go away to school, they will need it. If they wait to take it there, there are bound to be innumerable conflicts. Moreover, your work then is made harder and you rarely can take it there for credit as the subject is included in entrance requirements. If a girl expects to take vihr (!lii;rr 4_il«� Domestic Science she should, by all means take Physics. Chemistry without Physics is doubly hard and chemistry is practically the basis of all food chemistry and dietetics work. As in college, so in High School, a student should choose the subject which is going to do you the most good and pertains especially to your chosen work. From what 1 have learned now, I should advise that a subject should not be chosen because it gives the m s; credits for the least work. Credits are not the most important things to work for. Just because a certain number is required, we should not limit our classes to that number. Take as many more as you can handle with justice to yourself and your work. We people away at school have learned, too, that State Normal School, West Chester, Pa. April 4, 1916. Dear P. A. H. S. Students:— Time for the publication of the “Tiger Lily” already! I can hardly believe it! I can just imagine the atmosphere of the school at this time. The publication of the “Tiger Lily” always seemed to me, “The Event” of the year and I was never so happy as when 1 was in a staff meeting. The staff, this year will agree with me, that tho it is hard work to get all the material ready and to plan a successful book, it is also loads cf fun. Some of you don’t know where 1 am or what I have been doing since I left dear old High and for your benefit Pll say, “I have been working hard and having a glorious time.” I came here one is wise if he gets those subjects to the best of his ability. It pays in the end. In conclusion, let me mention another thing we have learned, the we may not have realized while we were at High School: the wise student will make the most of his time and get the best possible out of his work, and will not hug the delusion that we get work simply because of compu’sion- Fortunately, cur school offers us some electives so we may take the work which interests vs- How much more far sighted we are if we now choose wisely, not only for our present, but for our future. Mechanics Institute Rochester, N. Y. Christine Spraker, ’14. is the fall of ’14 alone; can you imagine what it feels like to be alone in a crowd of boys and girls, numbering almost to a thousand? Homesick? Well rather! One dosen’t stay homesick long, tho. Friends are easily made and it is great fun to make acquaintences and then try them out to see if they will make worth while friends, for “Friends are like melons, shall I tell you why? To find one good one you must a hundred try.” and there are hundreds of people—not melons—here to choose from- The friends “back home” furnish a standard by which all of us choose our friends. Thanks be for the friends “back home ” Another reason why one doesn’t stay homesick long is because there is Is - tliurr ililit sj much to do. There are new things to do, new places to go, new habits to form—such as rising at six and retiring at ten—a very nice habit indeed! Our normal catalogue provides for the banishing of homesickness by laying down this rule—“Every student shall take enough studies to keep him busy” and they provide for the carrying out of that special law. Now I s p-pose you think I’m worked to death. Well I’m not, or I wouldn’t be writing. You see I am a graduate of a fi'-st class High School, (Hurrah for P. A. H. S. and the man who made it what it is!) and besarse graduates of first class High Schools ave given credit for a great many elementary subjects, my program is lighter. So you see how it pays to take all the subjects one can in High School, especially in the line of mathematics. I always hated “math” and consequently I am very handicapped here. It pays to take such subjects in High School not only for that reason, but also because the student gets more individual help in the small classes of High School than he does where he is only one of forty-five or fifty or more. The only time one gets much special attention here is when they are especially good or bad in any branch. Even the MAKING THE PUNISHMENT FIT THE CRIME Noticing one of her small boys nibbling at some luncheon in school one day the teacher called the culprit to the desk. “You know,” she began sternly, “that you must not eat during lesson hours! Now as a punishment you must stand here in front of the class and eat former gets very little and the latter isn’t very thankful for what he does get. So Freshman and Sophocores take all the “math” you can in the time left to ycu, for it is a case of “eventually, why not now?” I must stop writing to you in a few minutes and study. By the way, that's another thing you ought to learn to do now, while there is time—to study, because when you go to a higher school vou wont have time to learn and it will be very hard and up-hill work. There isn’t much time in the periods devetod to study and concentration is an important factor if you would make good. So be a “w’se virgin” and also be what every cne is talking about, in a state of preparedness. Now I really must stop and do some of the things I have been ad vis--ing you to do. I wish ycu all success and I hope the Tiger Lily Staff will bring out the best book published so far- My pri ate opinion naturally, is that the first was the best, but that is my heart and not my head speaking. My lands! This is becoming a newspaper instead of a letter. Sincerely yours, Esther McLaughlin ’14. every bit of it.” The small boy did as he was bid, a curious grin overspreading his face. The teacher misunderstood that grin until the lsst scrap had disappeared, then from the class, a small voice wailed in tearful accents: “Please, teacher, that wasn’t his lunch he was eatin’; it was mine.” vLhr Citjrr ilihi Hlhal fmt (£att Du llltth Ilnur JOill JJmun This essay is intended to be a resume of an article having the above name, written by Dr. Russell H. Con-well and published in the April number of the “American Magazine.” Dr. Con-well in his article strove to emphasize the fact that success is within anyone’s grasp if he only wills to be a success. Many of the most important parts of his writing are here quoted. The article is something like his famous lecture “Acres of Diamonds.” It begins: “There has been alto- gether too much talk about the secret of success. Success has no secret. Her voice is forever ringing through the market place and crying on the wilderness, and the one burden of her cry is one word—Will. Any normal young man who hears and heeds that cry is equipped fully to climb to the very heights of life.” He continues, “The message I would like to leave with the young men and women of America is—this: Your future stands before you like a block of unwrought marble. You can work a into what you will- Neither heredity, nor environment, nor any obstacles superimposed by man, can keep you from marching straight through to success, provided you are guided by a linn, driving determination, and have normal health and intelligence ” “Determination is the battery that commands every read of life. It is the armor against which the missiles of adversity rattle harmlessly. If there is one thing I have tried particularly to do through these years it is to indent in the minds of the young of America the living fact that when they give Will the reins and say ‘Drive they are headed toward the heights.—Determination has the properties of a powerful acid; all shackles melt before it. “Conversely, lack of will power is the readiest weapon in the arsenal of failure. The most hopeless proposition in the world is a fellow who r,hinks that success is a door through which he may stumble if he roams long enough. They loaf about and trust in their lucky star, and boldly declare the world owes them a living.” “As a matter cf fact the world owes a man nothing that he does not earn. In this life a man gets about what he is worth, and he must render an equivalent for what is given him. There is no such thing as inactive success. As soon as a man determines the goal toward which he is marching, he is in a strategic position to see and seize everything that will contribute toward that end.” Dr. Conwell then pauses for a little suggestion about making a choice of life work and says: “This brings to my mind a certain stipulation which the ambition of youth must recognize, You must invest yourself in a known demand. You must select an occupation that is fitted to your own special genius and to some actual want of the people. Choose as early gs possible what your life work will be. Then you can be continually equipping yourself by reading and observing to a purpose.” Returning to the subject of deter- Chf diycr JZiig mination or will power he continues, “ ‘Where there’s a will there’s a way!’ but one needs to use a little common sense about selecting the way- A general may determine to win a victory, but if he hurls his troops across an open field straight into the leaden sweep of the enemy’s artillery he invites disaster and defeat- The best general lays his plans carefully, and advances his troops in a way that will test conserve their strength and numbers. So must a man plan his campaign of life. “No man has a right, either for himself or for others, to be at work in a factory, or a store, or anywhere else, unless he would work there from choice, money or no money—if he had the necessities of life. “ ‘As a man thinks, so is he,” says the writer of Proverbs; but as a man adjusts himself, so really is he, after all. One great trouble with many individuals is that they are made up of all sorts of machinery that is not adjusted, that is out of place; no belts on the wheels, no fire under the boiler—hence no steam to move the mechanism. “Some folks never take the trouble to size themselves up—to find out what they are fitted to do—and then wonder why they remain way down at the bottom of the heap.” He further says, “True will power also predicates concentration. Lincoln one of the greatest men of the world, owed his success largely to one rule: Whatsoever he had to do at all he put his whole mind into, and held it there until the task was all done. That makes men great almost anywhere. “Too many people are satisfied if they have done a thing ‘well enough’ That is a fatal complacency. ‘Well enough’ has cursed souls. ‘Well enough’ has wrecked business enterprises. ‘Well enough’ has destroyed nations. If perfection in a task can possibly be reached, nothing short of perfection is ‘well enough.’ “Governor Talbot of Massachusetts get his high office because General Swift made a happy application of the truth, in saying to the convention, ‘1 nominate for governor of this state a man who, when he was a farmer’s boy, hoed to the end of the row.’ The saying became a campaign slogan up and down the state. ‘He hoed to the end of the row. He hoed to the end of the row.’ When the people discovered that this was one of his characteristics, they elected him by one of the greatest majorities ever given a governor in Massachusetts. “George W. Childs, who owned the Philadelphia “Ledger,” once blacked boots and sold newspapers in front of the Ledger building. He told me how he used to look at that building and declare over and over to himself that some day he would own the great newspaper establishment that it housed. When he mentioned his ambition to his associates they laughed at him. But Childs had indomitable grit and ultimately he did come to own that newspaper establishment, one of the finest in the country. He concludes his article with this paragraph: “Everyone has within himself the tools necessary to carve out success. ihc Cii rr d_ili Consecrate yourself to some definite mission in life, and let it be a mission that will benefit the world as well as yourself- Remember that nothing can withstand the sweep of a determined will—unless it happens to be another will equally as determined. Keep clean, fight hard, pick your openings judiciously, and have your eyes forever fixed on the heights toward which you are headed.—If there be any other formula fcr success, I do not know it.” J. H. F.-’17. £ ftttnr HUwrira Do you remember, O Senior, that time, four short years ago, when you entered upon your High School career? IIow on that occasion ycu and your comrades trooped into the study-hall and were enrolled as Freshmen? What high resolves you made then—to study industriously, to mind your teachers, never to be tardy, and, in short, to behave in such a manner as to win the respect of those dignified Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors, who appeared to be so mature and experienced! Every thing about the new routine of work seemed so strange. With what awe did you not gaze at the statue of Victory, in the front of the room? You even wondei-ed why it was minus a head. But of course it must be all right. Else why should it be there? Then you turned in open-mouthed wonderment to regard the teachers. How hard it was going to be to slip forbidden notes, if so many teachers were there to watch you! It had not been so in the grades. You were positively relieved when you found out that they each had a class room and only one would be in the study-hall. But the last feelings of strangeness and unfamiliarity were effaced at the Freshman reception. How could those stern upper-classmen unbend enough to notice such small fry ? They were really magnaminous and tried not to remind you that you were a Freshman any more than was absolutely necessary. So you decided that perhaps life would not be altogether intolerable in tiiat atmosphere of wisdom and therefore you settled down to work. You even found out before many months had passed that you would not be tortured or executed if you did not have your lesson. And those infallible upper-classmen! The first time that you discovered that they did not always have their Algebra or Latin lesson, you could hardly believe the evidence of your eyes and ears. Your ideals were shattered. And then you began to know that even they were human and had their faults. And then you became a Sophomore- Who has not felt a thrill of confident pride and hope when the first rung of the ladder leading to a prized goal, has been ascended ? Already you began to feel and assert your superiority over the Freshmen, who really were more rustic in look and behavior than the members of your class had been the year before- When these successors tried to infringe on your authority you lifted your eyes and hands in horror, and resented the infringement m w w k p a i: IX o C| fe 0 ? •v g 1 I l I § I l! i t« C C| C) •{ i Preparedness Is one of the big questions of the day. It applies to SCHOOL LIFE as well as the LIFE of the NATION. The man who tells you that UNCLE SAM “can whip any of the other GREAT NATIONS with one arm tied” is in the same class as the student with the purple socks who boasts about “putting one over on the Prof” and sucks a cigarette to show you who he really is. Preparation requires the use of time, keen minds, healthy bodies and MONEY and, like the joy derived from honest toil, there are no substitutes. The fellow who is bluffing his way thru is in reality only fooling himself—not his parents nor the faculty. What better preparation than an Interest Account to assist you after your High School course is over?

And now you became interested in athletics. How lustily you took part in the game, or cheered the home team. How vital seemed the result of basketball and track contest! You wonder at it now, when studies have taken the foremost place in your consideration, and athletics, though important, are looked upon merely as affairs of the moment. And your Sophomore studies! Where in life can you expect to find such real enjoyment as when hunting for plant specimens with the Biology class, or when arguing with the teacher in Mediaeval History class, or writing notes in Latin or German class, Those are pleasures that are gone, never to return. And was it in your Junior year that Student Government was instituted? How strange it seemed to be able to move about without asking permission of an eagle-eyed teacher! You even went beyond your rights once or twice, just to see if it could be worked. But then, woe to you, for your name was sure to be on the list of offenders that was read before the school on Friday afternoons. And you were doomed to remain under a teacher’s charge in his class room, to remain a half hour after school every night for a week, or perhars to occupy a chair in a prominent position in the front of the room with your back impolitely turned toward the other students. If you were wise, one taste of student punishment was enough. And now you are a Senior. The study-hall seems to have become so small since you first entered it four years ago. A few more banners adorn the walls. A few more cobwebs festoon the corners where Moses’ brush has not been effective. Even the statue of Victory, at which you used to look with reverent awe when you were a Freshman, and the newer statue of Mercury have both become familiar friends. You smile when you remember how you as a Freshman wondered why that headless statue was considered beautiful and an appropriate decoration for the room. But why do you not feel so great and satisfied now that you are a Senior and have attained that goal for which you have striven four long years? You may even have a secret longing in your heart, that you might be a Freshman again, with those joyful, busy years before you. If some kind fairy were to offer to procure for you in one year that knowledge for which was ordinarily required four years, would you accept his offer? Would you forego those years of pleasant companionship and labor? No, my friend, since you are a Senior and knew what those years mean to you, you would not let them go from you. M. L. F.-’16.

Who is there who does not have the pleasure of knowing Frances Schoonover, a cheerful, jolly, easy-going Junior of our High School? Well, this well known lass prospers in her studies. W7e would not have you think otherwise. But there are exceptions to every rule and Frances and Plane Geometry are not on the best of terms. In fact, Frances is so careful with her Geometry book that she very rarely opens it outside the class room for fear of soiling it. And consequently she never has her lesson. Every day in class when Mr. Kennedy says, “Everybody close their bcoks and take their places at the board,” Frances, with the air of a martyr, advances to the board and writes down the proposition as Mr. Kennedy reads it to her. And after completing this stupendeous task she invariably takes her seat. Mr. Kennedy is not surprised at this. On the contrary, he expects it. But one day when Frances came into the class room with the most triumphant look on her face, everyone knew at once that some- - mt lliunn? thing had happened- Even Mr. Kennedy noted the change and wondered what could be the cause of it. When the class was told to go to the board, Frances quickly took her place and wrote out the proof without a word from Mr. Kennedy. Then she took her seat and kept her eyes steadfastly fastened on that once-detested Geometry book, never daring to raise them for she knew that every student in the room had his or her eyes on her. And the wonder did not abate when Frances explained her work without a mistake. Everyone tried in every way and manner to get from Frances the reason for her sudden brilliancy, but she was silent as the sphinx in regard to it. The class agreed unanimously that the phenomenon the class had that day witnessed should be kept alive in literature, that prosperity might see and wonder at it. Therefore we wrote down the wonder in all haste. And tho we waited expectantly for the reoccurrence of the miracle it never came. The inspiration had come and passed. But Frances still rests upon her laurels, and, as hope dies hard, we still believe that she may sometime pass Geometry. R. E. T.-’19. POOR Willie was a Freshman As green as grass and greener too, Not a thing in all creation Ever was so green a hue. One day as he was exercising, Across a field he chanced to pass, FRESH! And a brindle cow devoured him Thinking he was only grass. Little Willie is in heaven Vacant are two places now, In the class there is no Willie, In the field there is no cow. —Ex. “THE BEST SCHOOL OF ITS KIND.”—Timothy L. Woodruff, Lieut.-Gov.

It is used in rivers, brooks and wells, and at lawn parties ant church picnics. It is very soft and friendly when met, but frequently miss s many important engagements, espcc:'a’ly in your bade garden. But although it is very unreliable in keeping appointments with your garden, rain can always be counted on to appear at the right moment after you have taken your best girl to the theater without a taxicab. Rain comes in storms, sqra'ls, hurricanes and tornadoes. In April it is usually delivered in installments. It is used by mesquitoes in raising their young, at which they are very successful. Without rain we would have no canned vegetables or duck’s eggs; also John B. Kennedy, he Teaches Plane Geometry, He draws his figgers ez strait ez he can And tries to make us all understand But John B. Bryfogle, he Sez he don’t like Geometry. Rose M. C. Naegely, she Is always talking with her cousin, Lucy We wonder when she’ll not have things to say, If appearences are true it’ll be many a day. But Rose M. C. Neagely, she Sez she’s not worryin’ about things to say- there would have been no Noah and no bird of peace- Also there would be no mud puddles and the chiefest joy of childhood would fail. Rain is used on roads and, mixed with oil, produces a splendid combination which is a sure cure fer antique furniture and oriental rugs, also for ball dresses, white flannel trousers and point lace shirt waists. Rain is also used on roofs and umbrellas. There is nothing cn a dark night, after you have been out playing poker until the wee small hours, that soothes your tirer brain more than the Wagnerian music produced by the rain on the tin roof under your receptive tympanum; also, when you are holding an umbrella over your wife’s head, it is a pleasure to feel that her sixty-five-dollar hat is not being rained on quite as much as your eight-dollar stove pipe.
