M. JOHNSTON Supervising Principal Grove City College 1925, B. S. Indiana. Pa. Every man should have credit according to his merit. It has been a source of great pride to all living in this community to note the consistent raising of the standards in our schools. Mr. E. M. Johnston, the supervising principal, has set a high standard of life for himself, both scholastically and morally, and soon convinces the pupils in his school that only their very best is good enough. He is deeply interested in school work and has the hearty co-operation of those associated with him in the execution of his well-laid plans. His interest and assistance in the students’ work and his able advice for future plans leads them to understand that the obedience to law which he exacts is for their good.

You can judge a genius by his earmarks—and that’s the way we found Thomas! He has brows like Beetiioven, a nose like George Washington, and teeth “four out of every five” would envy. “He was genius for, take him all in all, we shall never see his like again. ’ SAMUEL DELISI “Sam” Vice President Class Basketball, 1; Debating, 2; Librarian, 1, 2, 3, 4; French Club, 4; Editor-in-Chief La Saltianna. 4. ’Tis a very ordinary name, but it doss not suit him at all. His real name, I am told, is Salvatore but h doesn’t use it—probably because it is too romantic. Sam has an undying sense of humor. He is always busy. He has also a very wide knowledge pertaining to Problems of Democracy. (Mussolini please take note.) “II parle tout le temps.” “Genevieve” Secretary Pollyanna Club, 1; Blairsville High, 2; Glee Club, 3; French Circle, 4; Alumni Editor La Saltianna, 4. A capable, cool, clever girl is Genevieve of the “Goldy Locks.” To be sure she was a sunbeam in our class for, at all times, she had a smile for everyone. “Good sense, which is only the gift of Heaven.” MARGARET LEARN “Peg” Treasurer Pollyanna Club, 1; Runner-up Oratorical Contest, 3; French Circle, 4; Class Historian La Saltianna, 4. “Peg” is a nice, little girl—and a good sport! She always helps a fellow in a pinch. We wish you lots of luck, “Peg,” when you’re a staid, old school marm. “No friend’s a friend till she has proven a friend.” Illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 19 2 8 IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIII GENEVIEVE LOWMAN Page sixteen IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHI LA SALT1ANNA |||||||||||||||||||l|l||llllllllllllllllll JOHN BORDNER Billy” basketball 1, 2, 3.

Earl is that type known as the ‘‘average man.” He can do everything from playing a ‘‘Moonlight Sonata” on his cornet to playing a monkey wrench on the kitchen stove. He is the one Shakespeare thought of when he said, “And one man in his time plays many parts.” FANNIE BYTHEWAY “Fannie” Pollvanna Club, 1; Glee Club 2, 3; French Club, 4. Amiable, ’appy and ambitious. That’s Fannie for she has a good nature and evenness of temper. “A ’appy ’eart makes a bloomin’ visage.” ROBERT DUNCAN “Bob” Treasurer 3. Such a shy, meek, little turtle dove is our Robert. What lofty ideals—what marvelous manner of speech— ----what gallant appearance! “Modesty becomes a young man.” EDWARD EDNIE iNNA Ted” Class Basketball, 1; Basketball Reserves, 2; Cheer Leader 2, 3, 4; Advertising Committee La Saltianna, 4. Sometime Ted is going to startle the world with some great invention for he has “it” when it comes to machinery—and if he doesn’t, he ought to make a splendid lawyer for he certainly can argue. “One mind needs but a single thought.” ALICE FENNELL “Alice May” Pollyanna Club, 1; Glee Club 2, 3; French Circle, 4. Here is one of those rare creatures that are a blessing to their fellow men. Alice is the very essence of modesty with her unassuming ways. “The mildest manners and the gentlest of hearts.” WILMER GOSNELL “Moco” Basketball Reserves. 1; Basketball, 2, 3, 4; Track. 2, (Capt.) 3, 4; French Club, 4; Mathematical Medal, 3; Advertising Committee La Saltianna, 4. Another big boy with lots of gray matter and plenty of ambition to back it up is “Moco.” “Moco” is a wonder on the basketball floor (and to the girls, too). “The noblest mind the best contentment has.” MARTIN STOCKDALE Skibby” Class Basketball, 1; Basketball 2. 3, 4 (Capt.); Treasurer, 2; Joke Editor La Saltianna, 4.

Without “Red” our class would be very incomplete and dull. He is one of the German members, too. “A merry heart doth Rood like a medicine.” FRED HART “Billy” Class Basketball, 1; Reserve Basketball, 2; Debating:, 2; Secretary. 3; Runner-up Oratorical Contest, 3; “Bits O’ Blarney” 3; Glee Club, 3; Basketball Manager. 3; Librarian 1, 2, 3, 4; Business Manager La Saltianna 4. A bally chap, I say; and all imported from England. He is Americanized now, though, and he’s going to be a doctor. He has a certain attraction for ladies, I hear. “A corking good doctor he’ll be.” HAROLD HART “Muggins” Basketball Reserves, 1; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Glee Club, 3; “Bits O’ Blarney,” 3; Advertising Committee I a Saltianna, 4. “Muggins” is the longest pupil in the school. Hartie is also a good student, but ah—you should hear him sing. Harold isn’t a bit shy with the fairer sex, but he likes things that rhyme with trees. “Kind thoughts, contentment, peace of mind, and joy for w’eary hours.” ERMYNTRUDE SMITH “Pawny” Pollvanna Club, 1; Winner Oratorical Contest, 3; Glee Club, 3; Class Editor La Saltianna, 4. “Smitty’ can be said to be our class spokesman. No one can be pessimistic when she’s around. She has a marvelous vocabulary. “Smitty” is inclined to be a little artistic, too. “A lot of ‘it’ and not so few' brains.” Illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 19 2 8 l|||llllllllllllllllllllll!llllll|lll|||llllllllll!l Page nineteen llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllilliilllll la saltianna iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii WESLEY SNYDER “Wes” (Post Graduate) Elders Ridge Vocational 1, 2; Basketball 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Glee Club, 4; “Bits O’ Blarney,” 4; Orchestra, 4, 5; Basketball Coach Reserves, 5; “A College Cinderella,” 5; French Circle 5; Art Editor La Saltianna 5. “Wes,” in the one brief year he has been .with us, has made us admire his clever personality, his artistic ability, and himself. “Art thou hast in abounding quantities.” FRED GRAHAM “Diddy” Greensburg High, 1; Basketball Reserves 2; Basketball 3, 4; Track, 2, 3; President, 3; Glee Club, 3; Circulation Manager La Saltianna 4. What an actor on the stage of Life is “Diddy” with his vibrant voice, amusing manners, and unique personality. “He doth indeed show some sparks that are like wit.” ETHEL WADDLE “Ethel” Pollyanna Club, 1; Glee Club 2, 3; Activities Editor La Saltianna 4. The only true blond of the class, and how! She has a quiet, reassuring way about her that speaks for itself. Ethel never says much, but when she does, it’s worth listening. (She prefers gentlemen!) “She has the winningest ways with the beaux.” SENIOR CLASS COLORS: Red and Black SENIOR CLASS FLOWER: White Rose SENIOR CLASS MOTTO: “To the Stars Through Difficulties.” Illlllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll I 9 2 8 llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Page twenty IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIH LA SALTIANNA |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| SENIOR CLASS HISTORY On September 1, 1924, the class of 1928 entered Saltsburg High School with an enrollment of 43. As ambitious Freshmen, we organized our class and carried out successfully our few business matters. We elected Howard (irassell as president. Edith Black as secretary, and Aimee Grassell as treasurer. Our class was well represented in the Glee and Pollyanna clubs, and in the various athletic teams. Vacation time came, but the months sped swiftly by, and soon again we were in school to resume our tasks. In returning we found that only 27 scholars were in the Sophomore class. This year we were no longer unfamiliar with the ways of high school. We were encouraged by the thought that we had passed that dreadful stage of our career known as the Freshman year. We again organized our class with Thomas Mine as president, Marie Thunhurst as secretary, and Karl Morton as treasurer. That year debates stood foremost in our class activities, three members being on the team. Our class was also proud of the fact that we were represented in the girls’ and boys' basketball and track teams, and in the girls' glee club. We did not feel cpiite so little this year for we were beginning to be, at least, noticed by the upper classmen. We were gradually climbing the ladder to success, and we feel that it was a year well spent. Finally the day arrived when we could call ourselves Juniors. e could hardly realize that we were really Juniors. Even the sound of the name made us feel good for now we were upper classmen, and we knew that our presence was felt, seen, and heard. We were sorry to find that our number had dwindled to eighteen, but we, who remained, had taken another step toward the goal, which we were striving so hard to attain. This year we felt our responsibilities somewhat greater, and organized our class with care to elect an efficient body of officers. As a result we chose Fred Graham as president,' Fred Hart as secretary, and Robert Duncan as treasurer. As Juniors we played a great part in the various activities of the school. Our class made up the greater part of the basketball and track teams; several members were in the glee clubs, the high school orchestra, and in the oratorical contest. We had the honor of helping the class of '27 present their class operetta. “Bits of Blarney.” We feel proud of Wilmer Gosnell, who received the mathematical medal, offered by the Alumni association, which was open to the entire school. We had the privilege of being the first class in S. H. S. to get our class rings during our Junior year. Our Junior year passed much too soon. It was slowly dawning on us that we had only one more year of work and good times to spend together.

Now their fears they scarce can quell. They’re afraid their ' .animations May for them most irksome be And for this reason they are spending Most their time on bended knee. Some of us. we do assure you. Have no apology to give. Our work itself will speak for us And be otir pride while we shall live.

May 29, 1927, Fred Graham, representing the Class of 1928. accepted the Class Chain from Dale Carnahan, president of the Class of 1927. W'e, the Class of 1928, promise to hold this chain as a sacred trust until we are ready to add another link. No chain is stronger than its weakest link, and we believe that as our class passes this chain on to the Class of 1929 we will not have weakened, hut rather strengthened the bond of friendship and unity, which we hope will ever exist between each graduating class oi the Saltsburg High School. A few words may be said concerning the history of the chain. The Class of 1921. the first to graduate from the Saltsburg High School with a four year course, placed the original link in the chain. The chain was instituted. as we have stated above, to strengthen the bond of friendship and unity between the Alumni of this school. Each graduating class adds its link and passes the chain on to the next class. The chain at the present has seven links, and the Class of 1928 will add the eighth.

Our cargo is one of great value, obtained through hard and earnest work; it is what we call Knowledge. W'e embarked in 1925 with a passenger list of fifty-three. W e chose as pilot for that Freshman year one of the most popular boys of our class to guide us safely through the reefs and shoals that threatened our journey. Others were elected to assist him; first and second mates (vice-president and secretary) and purser (treasurer). On Hallowe’en we cast anchor and participated in the high school party. Later we discovered that some of our sail ors had voices pleasing to the ear and so they offered their services to the glee club. At the end of the year we had advanced several knots and now we set out full sail for the Sophomore harbor. Our previous pilot and his assistants had served so well that they were re-chosen for another year. An orchestra had been organized and our pilot brought to light a banjo player, a guitar expert, and two violinists, who had been modestly effacing themselves on shipboard. They enrolled and added greatly to the harmony and “joyful noise.” The next term we entered the port of the Juniors. Two milestones on life’s pathway had been passed and we looked forward eagerly to the time when we should be Seniors. W’e broke the ice for the coming year with a hilarious “weenie roast.” Another Hallowe’en party enabled us to regain our familiar footing with our classmates. As usual, our sailors were in the thick of all school activities: we were ably represented everywhere. As our ship advances, we strain our eyes to catch a glimpse of the Golden Gate of our hopes—Commencement, when we will bid good-bye to high school and set out on life's troubled sea to distant ports of endeavor. Let us hope that for each member of our class it will, indeed, be a “Bon Voyage. Alice Guthridge.

Anna Smith CLASS COLORS: Blue and Gold HISTORY OF THE SOPHOMORE CLASS The first day of high school for us Freshies of 1926-27 was one big day of jumbling, hunting seats that suited us. and becoming acquainted with the new faces that adorned our classroom as well as learning the name of our new assembly teacher, Mrs. Hodgess. and the names of the other teachers. On September 26, 1926. we elected our class officers who have served us very well for two years. We Freshmen were in great demand in many school activities; especially so were our pianists, violinists, singers, and our elocutionists. Of course, the main event of the season for the Freshies was the exceed-inglv successful party which we held in the Odd Fellow’s Hall with almost the entire class as well as the High School faculty and a few townspeople present. On our return to school in August of 1927 we saw that some faces were missing and that our class' had diminished to thirty-one. We were all very glad, nevertheless, to see Mrs. Hodgess in the teacher’s chair again. We are a popular set of young people. A great many members from our class helped to make the cast of “A College Cinderella.” We have members in the orchestra and in the basketball and track teams. The majority of the members of the History club are Sophomores. We also got caps in our class colors, blue and gold. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII LA SALTIANNA |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| Since we are only Sophomores we have not had such great opportunities to display our talent, but very soon we will make a name for ourselves.

A Freshman class could hardly he said to have a history: our high school career is at its beginning. In this particular, at least, we have an advantage over all the other classes; they have had many of the opportunities that come to high school students, and they have either improved or wasted them; ours are nearly all before us and here's hoping that we make the best of our four years. We became the Class of 1931 when on August twenty-ninth, nineteen twenty-seven, we assembled in the Saltsburg High School, fifty-four strong, consisting of pupils from the Boro school and from the township schools in both Indiana and Westmoreland counties. We have already lost five comrades from our ranks, but we're still a half hundred strong. During the first days of September we elected officers and performed the usual routine duties. Some of our members have enough dramatic ability to have had parts in the high school play, “A College Cinderella.” We have some singers, pianists and some promising athletes. To relieve the monotony of school routine a few jolly social events, which were much enjoyed, have been held. There have been a few things, such as Latin and Algebra, to take the jov out of life, but on a whole, our Freshmen year has been a happy and successful one. We have great opportunities before us. It but remains for us to take advantage of them. So let's go. Freshmen, and show 'em who we are! —John Hine, '31. PHILOSOPHISING A Freshman's life is the life for me, A schoolin' life's the sort; To travel 'round the bloomin’ halls With books of every sort. R. L. S„ '31.

THE YEAR IN ACTIVITIES The school year, 1927-28. witnessed a great improvement in the social activities of Saltsburg High School. Three new clubs were organized, namely: the French Circle under the supervision of Mrs. Hodgess; the History Club conducted by Miss Ewing; and, lastly, the Boni Gives Club sponsored by Mr. Johnston. The high school orchestra, under the capable guidance of Miss Carson, has become an asset to our high school. However, to the regret of many, the glee clubs were discontinued. A remarkable improvement has been made in the curriculum. A much needed course in Chemistry has been added. The English department under Miss Irwin has grealty advanced. Music is now compulsory. The High School Library is steadily progressing, but the lack of room handicaps a larger and more efficient library. A good; collection of books and reference works is now almost indispensible. Our greatest stride in social activities has been our weekly assemblies. The assemblies are two: the Thursday assembly, consisting of the seventh, eighth, and ninth grades: and the Friday assembly, consisting of Sophomores. Juniors, and Seniors. Each week one class presents a program. It is easy to say that these have all been of a high standard. We have been fortunate to have had with us some very good speakers, such as Rev. Bayha, Ke . Lutz, Rev. Peacock, Mr. Stewart Robinson, Mrs. 11. C. W. Patterson, Mr. F'rank Guthridge, and others. Let it be hoped that these assemblies will be continued for the benefit and entertainment we have derived from them. At the time of going to press it was announced that the music classes will celebrate Music Week, May 7-12 inclusive. THE HALLOWE’EN PARTY Did you know we had a Halloween party? Well, we did, although it came on November the fourth, and everybody else was getting settled down for Thanksgiving. The party was opened by the grand march, in which everybody took part. Then the prizes for the best costumes were given and guess who got the girl’s? Why, Genevieve Lowman. She was dressed as a little country milkmaid, and the costume was very appropriate. Joe Scott as a bold, bad Spaniard received the boy’s prize. They were graciously presented by Mr. Johnston with a tin whistle and three handkerchiefs. Then came the stunts! The Freshmen gave us acrobatic stunts, which were very clever. The Sophomores had charades, and the Juniors had a play. It was IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIH LA SALTIAINN A ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||il|| the greatest mystery drama of the season. The mystery was: what was it all about? All we could hear was frequent mention of Miss Lwing's new ring. The Seniors had a play, too. And it was really good! The title was “Wild .Veil. The cast was: Wild .Nell, Krmyntrude Smith: Handsome Harry. John Bordner; 1 ady Vere de Vere, Kthcl Waddle: Sitting Hull. Edward Hdnie; his accomplice. Hull Durham, Samuel Dclisi; Medicine Woman. Alice Fennell. It was presented in movie form with Fred Graham reading the titles and Wesley Snyder accompanying the brilliant actors with his masterful playing. It was a rip-roaring comedy, and poor Nell dies at the end after her hated rival. Lady Vere de Vere, steals her lover. Handsome Harry. Of course, the prize was awarded to the Seniors, and it was a lovely bag of candy. We then danced a little bit, and sighed a little bit when we had our fortunes told at the back of the hall for five cents (5c), but—now came the refreshments; we drank plenty of cider, and ate many apples and doughnuts. About eleven o'clock everyone departed for their homes after having a good time. THE ARMISTICE DAY PROGRAM The Annual Public School Armistice Day Program was a decided success. It was, as usual, presented by the entire public school in the Town Hall. At 1 :45 P. M. school was dismissed, and the pupils marched to the hall according to classes. The program was under the direction of Miss Carson, with Mr. Johnston presiding. The afternoon was a fine relief from the daily routine of studies and was appreciated by everyone. The program was as follows: Song: America......................................... School Selection: March.

December 21. 1927. All the school was represented and many visitors were present. This year the program was a variation from the ones previously given. It was in the form of a Dramatic Carol Service, which was under the supervision of Miss Carson. The program was opened by a suitable selection played by the High School Orchestra. Then the play began, the title being “One Christmas Eve. The story centered around the adventures of two little waifs in search of the Christmas Spirit. They met le Shut-eye. a fairy, who led them into foreign lands, and showed them what Christmas is like in other nations. First, they went to Norway, where the children hang out sheaves of wheat for the Christmas elves,—and place their shoes in long, neat rows, toe to toe. to guard their household. Next, they traveled to ole Merry England- to the land of good King Wencestas and his merry crew. The mummers made merry here and all was a riot of fun. Then the dream faded, and the Angel entered. She talked to the little ones, who were yet asleep, and told them the story of t hrist’s birth. The three kings of the Orient entered and sang their song, Then Angelic music was heard, the babies awake and find their Christmas Spirit. We, too, were full of Christmas Spirit and sang the old Carols lustily. We left the Auditorium with the sweet strains of the age-old song, “Oh, Come All Ye Faithful.” ringing in our ears.

H. S., aims to secure information concerning the language, literature, history, institutions. and contemporary affairs of the French people with whom we are so closely bound by international relations; to further our moral and aesthetic ideals through the study of foreign literature; to obtain enjoyment through singing, reciting, playing games, and dramatics; to inculcate skill in pronunciation. It is less a question of imparting information than enlisting the interest by pleasurable exercises, thus creating interests and habits of noble enjoyment. We aim not only at the study of the language, but to bring the students together socially, and acquire a spirit of friendship for all things French. At the first meeting of the club on November 29. 1927, we elected the following officers: President ...................................... Wiltner Gosnell Vice-President Samuel Delist Secretary ........................................ iola '1? Treasurer .........................................

THE HISTORY CLUB The History club was organized in the Saltsburg High School in the Year of Our Lord nineteen hundred and twenty-seven. The purpose of this club is to make it possible for the pupils of the high school to accpiire a broader historical knowledge, not only the events of the past, but those of the present. The History club gives its members an opportunity to study more minutely the facts in history, which cannot be so thoroughly discussed in the regular class period. The first History Club was composed of twenty members. These are all of the Junior and Sophomore classes.

Thursday and Friday evenings. February 9th and 10th. Although there were no outstanding roles in the play, all parts were admirably portrayed by the cast. A large attendance was present at the opening performance, following six weeks of intensive rehearsal in which all the members of the cast worked long and hard on the interpretation of their parts. With another large house attending the last performance, the play was an unqualified success, insuring a bright future for dramatic efforts in Saltsburg High School. “A College Cinderella was directed by Miss Francis Irwin of the English Department.

At their Senior banquet held at Wilcox Inn on commencement night, a motion was made and carried that such an organization be formed. Vernon McCormick, with several other members of the class, were earnest promoters and they succeeded in getting together a number of the Alumni and electing officers for an association. These officers arranged for a banquet to be held in the Odd Fellows Hall in August, 1926. At this banquet about fifty Alumni members were present. The second banquet was held in the Presbyterian Church on the night of August 26. 1927. At the first banquet held, the association voted to offer a prize of five dollars to the student attaining the highest marks in Mathematics for the year. Wilmer Gosnell, a member of the Junior class, won the award for the year 1927. This prize is still to be offered. The dues for membership in the association has been fixed at fifty cents per year or five dollars for a life membership. Several life members have enrolled. A committee of five is now preparing a constitution and by-laws, which will be submitted at the next regular meeting of the association.

Smith MY DUTY AS AN ALUMNUS TO MY HIGH SCHOOL When we have recalled the days that we spent with our Alma Mater let us not only consider what they have meant to us, but let us consider what we. as alumni, owe to our Alma Mater. High school was a guiding factor when our lives were in the plastic age and, to it we owe great praise. While there we could do many things for it. but since we have graduated, the best way that we can show our appreciation is to become a member of the Alumni Association. Some say, I have little desire to be a member, I can not bother, for high school meant little to me. Has the fault been with the high school or the individual ? Someone has said that we are never in the pres- Pres....... Y.-Pres. Sec........ Treas...... IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIH LA SALTIANNA l||||||||||||||||||||||||||||llllllllll|l| ence of a good thing, but that we receive some lesson and inspiration. Does it not then seem that the individual was at fault? If the individual considers it now perhaps since he has had a taste of the world, he will see the folly of his idle talk. It is never too late to make resolutions so let each one of us resolve to do our duty and be a loyal and true alumnus to our high school, and in so doing strive to follow these maxims: 1. 1 will do my bit for the association when called upon by the president. 2. I am proud of my Alma Mater, and in my daily life I will so conduct myself that my Alma Mater can likewise be proud of me. i. As an alumnus I will strive to be a “go-getter.” interesting those who are not interested so that as an association we will be able to work together for the good of our high school. Helen Serene. ALMA MATER As alumni we often sit alone at even time when the hue of the sunset is fading and think of the “other days,” the days that we spent with thee, our Alma Mater. In our minds there are fond memories of our high school friends and the parties we attended with them. We think of the tricks we played on our teachers. Mean, weren’t they? But Oh! so much fun. Well, do we remember the enthusiasm with which we watched or perhaps participated in the athletic events. Since we have been out in the world there has come a note of seriousness into our lives and we think of the most serious part of our high school life. In our high school days the real foundation of our later life was laid. Little did we realize as we passed through those four years that the lessons then learned were to be the foundation stones of our later education. While we were within thv walls, dear Alma Mater, manv of our troublesome problems were solved under the careful guidance of our teacher. As the years go by our sense of appreciation deepens for thee, our Alma Mater, and we have but one wish, that we may ever be worthy of thee, and each one of us can truly say. “The days that I spent with you. dear pal. Are dear as a part of me. Helen Serene.

The first settlement was made about 1766, some miles up the river, and a year or two later surveys were being made and homes started on the present site of Saltsburg. The early settlers had often to retreat toward Pittsburgh to the older settlements to evade the tomahawks of the Indians. Since the name and rapid growth of Saltsburg came from the salt wells in the vicinity a few words about the salt industry in the early days is timely. About 1795 a salt spring was discovered, a few miles up the river, which contained enough salt to be worth the evaporating of the water. At that spot a well was sunk, before 1800, but it was not worked to any great extent. However, in 1812, William Johnston drilled a well near the junction of the Conemaugh and Loyalhanna. This well was a success and the owner easily disposed of his entire production of thirty bushels daily at a high price. Other wells were drilled until by 1830 more than twenty had been sunk within two miles of Saltsburg. 119 2 8 Page sixty-four IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIII LA SALTIANNA ||||||||||llllllllllllllllllllllll|||||||| The pioneers certainly showed patience and ingenuity in drilling their wells. The only implements were stone chisels, which were fastened to the ends of poles, and raised and lowered, at first by hand and later by steam engines. As the hole (which was about three inches in diameter) deepened, more poles were fastened, and so a depth of from five to eight hundred feet was reached. A year was usually required to dig a well. The salt industry grew and flourished, reaching its apex about 1840. The construction of the canal from Harrisburg to Pittsburgh through Saltsburg gave another impetus to the town. Canal boat construction, carriage shops, tanneries, a foundry, a glass factory, and many other industries that flourished and served their day. and then passed out of existence, prove anew that— “New occasions teach new duties. Time makes ancient good uncouth.” The long list of our soldier dead who served in the earlier wars of our country and the still longer lists of those, many yet living, who went forth from Saltsburg during the later wars, reminds us that our little town serves her country well, both in peace and war. At the present time we have seven churches, a public library and reading room, good doctors and ministers, and up-to-date stores of all kinds, managed by capable and progressive business men, who are doing well their part to make Saltsburg “A Good Place to T ’ M Live. Surely we should be better (though not braver) than those who were here a century ago. Our bank, mill, newspaper, garages, etc., would be marvelous in their eves. The Saltsburg Borough has not increased much in population in the last two decades, but we can philosophically say of ourselves as did Pat to Mike when they were making a long journey afoot: They had grown very tired and thought they must be near their destination. They stopped at a village to inquire. “How far is it to C----•’ “Five miles” they were told. It seemed a long distance and they trudged on. After a while they met a stranger of whom they asked “How far is it to C----------•' Five miles was the answer. Several more miles and they accosted a farmer with “How far is it to C------?” “Five miles was the reply. “Fine! said Pat. “We are holding our own! Thomas Hinc. IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIII LA SALTIAINNA |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| The Old Academy (From an original hand sketch by Mary J. Johnston. Reproduced through the courtesy of Myrtle Johnston.) SCHOOLS OF SALTSBURG-PAST AND PRESENT A study of local history shows us that the people who settled in this section of Indiana County were the first to show a desire for educational advantages, since the first school in the county was in Conemaugh Township, about a half mile from the Kiskiminetas river. Here, in an abandoned log cabin, James McDowell opened a school about 17N0. A school day—or shall we say a school night—was a three hour session every morning, each pupil bringing his own candle. Records are found of various other schools in this vicinity before our town was laid out. The first school in Saltsburg was a log building on Basin Street near the abutment of the old railroad bridge. Here almost a century ago f 1829) Abner YVhittlesy taught school. These early schools were all private or subscription schools not supported by taxation, but bv a charge made for each pupil. Some of the early school masters were worthy and capable; others had little education themselves, but in either case one of the most important qualifications of a teacher IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIII LA SALTIANNA |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| was his ability to “keep order.” A necessary part of a teacher's equipment was a bundle of well seasoned rods. At length by acts of the Assembly in 1831 and 1834 a public school system was established, and in 1854 the office of County Superintendent was created. Thus, the cause of education advanced rapidly. Probably nothing has done more for the promotion of education in Salts-burg than the Academy, which was organized in 1851. The two story academy building, familiar to most of us, was opened to use in 1852. The Academy or Memorial Institute, as it was later called, continued in existence until 18‘tO when the high school took its place. In the early sixties a log school house stood where the J. C. Moore Supply Company now is. I.ater a frame building, near the present United Presbyterian church, was used as a school house. Since 1860 there have been school houses at the present location on Market Street, growing from a two room frame building, to our present handsome, but already inadequate brick school house. The growth of our schools has been especially noticeable in the past decade. In 1020 we were using six rooms, had seven teachers, approximately one hundred fifty pupils in the grades and forty-nine in the high school. At the present time we have twelve rooms in use and a faculty of thirteen teachers. There are two hundred seventeen pupils in the grades and one hundred thirty-three in the high school. We have a good growing library, and this year are enjoying our recently acquired laboratory. In addition to our public schools we are fortunate in one that A. W. Wilson and R. W. Fair established in 1888 at Kiskiminetas Springs on the beautiful bluff just opposite Saltsburg—a preparatory school for boys. This school has grown until it now enrolls annually more than two hundred boys and young men from all parts of the country. Kiski has become one of the best known prep schools in the United States. It is interesting to contrast the log cabin, with oiled paper windows and split log floors: where boys and girls sat on rude benches and studied the three R’s using slates and pencils dug from the ground or quill pens and home made inks, and anv text books the home could provide—with our modern schools. What will the generation a century from now say of our schools? Thomas Hine.

A. V. Trumpeter, pastor of the Lutheran Church of Saltsburg, at that time. Rev. Trumpeter organized a basketball team. The teams of 1920-21 were of no little importance, playing such teams as Freedom. Taren-tum, Freeport, and other larger schools down the valley. They won many big games and started the basketball era successfully. To Mr. H. E. Houtz the students of Saltsburg High School feel greatly indebted for our present high standing in athletics. Mr. Houtz took charge of athletics in 1922. He had nothing but practically raw material, but due to his own ability as a coach coupled with his own training at Slippery Rock Normal, he developed teams ol a very high standard. Held down Harry E. Houtz by the handicap of having an incompetent gymnasium did not cramp his prospects. The track team was so greatly handicapped, being allowed to use the Kiski track. From 1922 on the teams steadily developed. 1923-24 showed a still greater improvement over the previous years. Saltsburg High School grew incessantly in importance in the athletic circle, and the same year the track team carried away the County Championship. This, however, was not its last achievement. The following year, 1924-25, Mr. Houtz produced one of the fastest basketball teams ever known in Indiana County. It easily carried away the Championship. S. H. S. still surged forward, and by the excellent coaching of Mr. Houtz, it came to the foremost ranks and took the 1926 County Track Championship. The championships were not the only performances of note. If S. H. S. did not win first honors, its teams was always among the first. It is safe to say that Saltsburg High School turns out better athletic teams than any other school of its size in this vicinity. Mr. Houtz was not only a successful coach but also an excellent teacher. ‘‘Harry.” as he was called by the boy students, was very popular both in and out of school. He was a general “big brother to everyone. Here’s to you. “Harry.” “A jolly, good fellow and a pal we can ne’er forget.” Wesley Snyder. iiilililiiilililililiiiiiiiiilillliiiiiiii la saltianna iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii THE CHEMISTRY COURSE Chemistry is a new course this year in the Saltsburg High School. It has been needed in the past years, but was unobtainable. Through the untiring and eager efforts of Professor K. M. Johnston this has become a reality. It has been Mr. Johnston’s object through his three year’s service in the Saltsburg High School to acquire a chemistry laboratory. which in turn would provide a complete and up-to-date course in science. The students of chemistry and the student body wish to extend their sincere thanks to the School Hoard and the citizens of Saltsburg for providing such an efficient course in chemistry. Coupled with Mr. Johnston’s efforts has been the financial and material support from the Board and the citizens, which was most necessary. The School Board equipped the laboratory with all necessary apparatus and utensils. They also furnished each chemistry student with his first set of personal equipment. The laboratory equipment was purchased from J. V. Storandt Manufacturing Co. of Rochester, X. V. The tables are the first of their kind to be installed in this territory. The chemistry class is composed of twenty-one students, eleven of which are Seniors, and ten of which are Juniors. Chemistry class is conducted three times a week and laboratory twice a week. Mr. F. Y. Beers is the instructor.
