SOB WHOLESALE Qroceries, Fruits and Produce BOB DuBois, Penna. Have You Considered Educational methods, facilities and personnel have improved and advanced to a marvelous degree during the last two decades. Many hundred millions of dollars annually, are being invested by the tax payers of to-day to improve and equip those who to-morrow, will carry forward the march of civilization. Have you wholly appreciated your good fortune in being beneficiaries of this improvement and this investment? Have you fully realized that none of the great thinkers, none of the great inventors, scientists, statesman and industrialists of the past have had such advantages and opportunities as are now within your reach. What is to be your return to society for these advantages and this investment. Will you be able to return dividends?— or be written off as a loss. No other person can answer this question for you; the responsibility is yours. Our experience and counsel may help you to become a dividend payer. They are yours for the asking.

Lincolns Americanism Just what Lincoln’s attitude was toward the Collective Will of the People is expressed emphatically when the Emancipator said: “Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well-wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution never to violate in the least particular the laws of the country, and never to tolerate their violation by others. As the patriots of ’76 did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, and so to the support of the Constitution and laws, let every American pledge his life, his property, and his sacred honor-let every man remember that to violate the laws is to trample upon the blood of his father, and to tear the charter of his own and his children’s liberty.” Applying that sort of test of Americanism to each of us as it relates to the Eighteenth Amendment quickly determines where we shall stand. F. M. TIMLIN 12 Itoicattmt Cj HE, the students of the Sandy High School in greatful appreciation of the ability and services extended to us, didicate to the Faculty, this issue of The Flambeau. 14 THE FLAMBEAU Wm.

He is very bashful around the girls but not in the Study Hall (especially when Miss Fisher is around.) We don’t know what Jimmie intends to do but we wish him success in whatever it is. “What’s the big idea.” -o- Amelia Chick—“Chick” “Here is “Chick” the tallest of our girls. For down her back, hangs two artificial curls.” Mark Twain Literary Society V. O. L. Academic and Vocational Course Flambeau Staff—’23 Riley Programme—’23 Senior Play “Chick” comes from Brooks where they raise poultry. Amelia is the largest “Chick” they have but not for sale. Chick is naturally bright in Chemistry! Here’s all sort of good luck Amelia. Oh! quit it! IK THE FLAMBEAU Claude E. Cramer—“Ozzie” To be merry and jolly Is Claude’s favorite folly. Mark Twain Literary Society Baseball—’21-’22-’23 Academic and Vocational Course Track—’22 Elson Art Exhibit—’22 Maid of Plymoth Play—’22 Athletic Association Basket Ball—’21 Ozzie’s chief sin is making other people laugh (especially in time of school.) He is very kindhearted and is always willing to help his class mates. He has been guilty of being a lady’s man. We surely hope that he attains success. “Pm done with the girls.” o- Martha Dinger—“Dinger” She is quiet and good and very witty She hails from Oklahoma outside of the city. Whittier Literary Society Athletic Association V. O. L. Academic and Vocational Course Martha is one of our “home” girls and we know that she will make a neat, little, housewife. She has a smile for everyone. They have won her a host of friends. Don’t get married to soon Dinger! “Yes George, this is I.” .. .-.••••- � sj ' ' H§ • '� .- A v' I m itHi WKWpMH Vf9$$9 - • .Vv .

Whittier Literary Society Athletic Association Academic and Vocational Course V. 0. L. Elson Art Exhibit Athletic Play Basket Ball Captain—’23 Riley Programme—’23 Flambeau Staff—’23 Senior Play Crystal is very bright in Chemistry (as long as her book is open!) She comes from a little town, Sabula. We know where she gets her rosy cheeks. No wonder, walking seems to be in her favor. Chris is one of our youngest class mates, and she’s proud of it. Good Luck Dodd ! “Hey, there!” Florence Erickson—“Angel” When big words you chance to hear, You can bet your boots, Florence is near. Mark Twain Literary Society Flambeau Staff Secretary—’22-’23 V. 0. L. Academic and Vocational Course Miss Florence is the noted walking Dictionary of our class. Her high ideas make even the teachers think She expects to be a Confidential Secretary some day. I think she would rather be a true little housewife for Flanders. “What’s that?” 20 THE FLAMBEAU Ruby Ferrier—“F'erris Wheel” With long brown curls and deep blue eyes, Such a terror for her age and size. Flambeau Staff—’23 Whittier Literary Society Secretary of Literary Society Secretary of Class ’23 Athletic Association Basket Ball—’23 Academic and Vocational Course V. O. L. Riley Programme—’23 Senior Play Ruby knows how to get high marks. Real hard study! She is a favorite among many students, due to her pleasing personality. Her curly hair is the envy of all the girls. Ruby intends to be a nurse. “Success.” Pll smile! o- Paul Heberling—“Tussie” Oh! Tuss why make such a fuss Over things of no importance. Whittier Literary Society President—’23 Baseball—’21-’22-’23 Basket Ball—’21-’22-’23 Track—’22-l23 Captain Baseball—’21 Captain Protemporary Basket Ball—’23 Academic Course Tussie’s only worry is to keep his hair combed nicely. Paul likes to study (when he takes a notion.) He has a tendency to like “bobbed hair” girls but that doesn’t say much. “Work hard Tus and don’t be too hasty.” Don’t muss my hair.” mmmmm ■ jS'vs'S- illlP . THE FLAMBEAU' 21 Kathleen Heberling—“Jean” Sweet is this lass of seventeen years. Whittier Literary Society Academic and Vocational Course V. 0. L. Senior Play Jean has been one of the most faithful students of S. H. S. She has been a true friend of every one. She is very jolly and full of pep. She walks in from West Liberty every morning, which gives her inspiration for beginning her days duty. She will some day be a housewife. Luck to you, Jean. Oh! Gosh! o- Donnld Kiel—“Don” A more misehevious lad, you’ll never find. Whittier Literary Society Orchestra—’20-’21-’22-’23 Athletic Association Tomato Threshers—’21 Academic and Vocational Course Elson Ai t Exhibit—’22 Flambeau Staff—’21 Senior Play Don is one of the most jovial class mates that Sandy High has ever had. The only time that Don meditates is when he’s wondering what girl he will go with next. He and “Jimmie” are partners in mischief of any sort. We persume that he will become a great leader of a famous orchestra. “Outside” 22 THE FLAMBEAU Robert Kranitz—“Bob” “An artist of skill,” “He works with a will.” Mark Twain Literary Society Flambeau Artist Academic and Vocational Courses Tomato Threshers Maid of Plymouth Play “Bob” is one of the true artist type. He can entertain for hours with his clever cartoons. He is sometimes caught making “profile” and “full front” views of the members of the faculty, which are not always flattering. Bob loves a good joke, when played on some one else. We know he will be a famous artist some day. “Got your P. D. kids?” Harry Kaplan—“Kappie” “His virtues are many, his thoughts are few To those who know him, he’s always true. Whittier Literary Society Academic and Vocational Course Athletic Association Baseball—’21-’22-’23 Senior Play Harry is a very quiet student. Kappie is very studious and hansome. The boy’s like to tease him but he never loses his good humor on this account. The girls cast flattering glances at him but he’s too bashful to be attentive to them. We know that Kappie will win himself a name of fame. “That’s allright.” THE FLAMBEAU 23 Mvrl Kessler—“Toots” “A great lover when with right company.” Athletic Association Executive Committee—’22 Class Vice President—’22 Mark Twain Literary Society Mark Twain Secretary—’22 Basket Balt—’23 Track—’22-’23 “What happened to Jones.” Elson Art Exhibit Tomato Threshers—’21 Maid of Plymouth Senior Play Myrl is one of our class mates, who is a great promoter of new ideas. He is among those who rank in athletics. He has a very pleasant disposition and is among the noted Chemistry sharks. He is still a member of the “Bailey Transfer.” “Hope to tell you.” o- Claire Lewis—“Lewie” “A lover of sports is this handsome lad.” Whittier Literary Society Maid of Plymouth Play—’22 Elson Art Exhibit—’22 Basket Ball—’22-’23 Baseball—’22-’23 Class Treasurer—’23 Vice President of Athletic Association—’23 Academic Course Riley Programme Senior Play He is one of the few that are noted for their well prepared lessons. He has proven his ability on the various athletic teams. Little is known of Claire’s love affairs. Claire likes to tease the girls when they are studying. We predict Claire will be an orator. “How’s that?” § 2-1 THE FLAMBEAU Emily McCausland—“Emmy” “Truer than steel and better than gold.” Flambeau Staff—’22-’23 Secretary of Mark Twain Literary Athletic Play Academic Course Riley Programme Senior Play Emmy’s favorite hobby is reading romantic stories but we believe that she likes to work Arithmetic better. Emily expects to be a “school marm” and we know that she will make good at her profession. “Believe me, kids.” ■o- Eva McCutcheon—“Little Eva” Very small featured, True as a preacher. Mark Twain Literary Society Academic and Vocational Course V. O. L. Every one thinks, “Little Eva” should be a policeman, for she dearly delights in pinching. We know Eva will make a good nurse. She is a good kid to study, but does not tell all she knows. Good Night Nurse! She’ll fall in love with a patient. “How much do you know, kids?” THE FLAMBEAU 25 George E. Moralee—“Sis” “What he knows is valued high.” Mark Twain Literary Academic and Vocational Course Class Historian Tomato Threshers —’21 Sandy’s Clown Senior Play “Sis” believes in reaping what you sow. That applies to business arithmetic. George thinks that he will go to college and if he says so, we know that he will. He wants to be a Professor of some large school and we hope that he will be successful. “Oh Cats” Orville Nupp—“Nuppie” “He would rather eat than sleep.” Class President—’20-’21-’22-’23 Mark Twain President—’23 Athletic Association—’22-’23 Manager of Basket Ball —’22-’23 Maid of Plymouth Play—’21 Athletic Play—’22 Senior Play—’23 Academic and Vocational Course Flambeau Staff—’21-’22-’23 Basket Ball—’23 Executive Committee—’22-’23 Elson Art Exhibit—’22 President Tomato Threshers—’21 Baseball—’22-’23 Nuppie’s been a very good president for the dear old class of “23”. He may be the president of the U. S. for all we know. Nupp likes to dance and he certainly makes his shoes look sick. He expects to go to Pitt University next year. Keep up the good work Nupp. Be quiet Kiel 26 THE FLAMBEAU Mildred Phelps—“Betty” “Deeply in love is this lass.” Mark Twain Literary Society V. O. L. Vice President Elson Art Exhibit Flambeau Staff—’22 Riley Programme Senior Play Betty has pretty chestnut brown hair and blue eyes. She is a lover of nature and novelties, especially, Teddy Bears. She is very modest and has queer ideas. Her main delight is to settle arguments pertaining to love affairs. We know what she will be but we’ll not tell. Fill a position that your heart desires, Betty. “Just my luck.” Edna Russell—“Teddy” A lassie seen, but not often heard.” Whittier Literary Society V. O. L. Riley Programme Academic and Vocational Courses Senior Play What would we do without smiling Teddy? She brings a ray of sunshine to our Senior Class Room every school day. She is going to Clarion Normal this summer and wishes to be a teacher. She’s got the talent allright, also big brown eyes. We wish to find you teaching six years from now, Teddy, with best of luck. “Helloa, Old Dear.” . a ■, ■ ' m ■■■■■ fflt'W _ _ THE FLAMBEAU 27 David Rupert—“Bud” “Sports afford this lad many pleasures.” Mark Twain Literary Society Vice President of Athletic Association Executive Committee Athletic Play Maid of Plymouth Track—’22-’23 Baseball—’21-’22-’23 Basket Ball—’21-’22-’23 Flambeau Staff—’22-’23 Bud likes to play basket ball and he also likes to argue with the girls about their success in p’aying that sport. Bud says that he wou'd like to go to College and if he wishes to,—Well he will keep his word. “Lend me two bits” o Mary Talasky—“Talasky” “As a humorist she is unsurpassed.” Whittier Literary Society Academic and Vocational Courses V. O. L. She will run five mile to hear a joke and she’s very clever with some of her own jokes. You cannot make Mary angry. To her everything is a joke. I wonder why, she likes to read billboards? She always studies when she’s not watching the rest. In years to come she’ll be nursie. Don’t fall love in love, Mary. Luck to you. “Ah! Shutup!” THE FLAMBEAU Vera Shaffer—“Freckles” “She’s every bit a jolly good girl.” Mark Twain Literary Society Academic and Vocational Course V. O. L. Treasurer She had pretty curls, but now its bobbed. She’s a very studious lassie, and is going to be an old maid school marm, like some of the other Sr. girls. Vera, especially, likes Problems of Democracy. She’s not crazy about boys, but some how or other she likes to read the Bill Boards. We wish you the best of luck, Vera. “I do not.” o Vera Mae Waggett—“Vig” “When she laughs, the world laughs with her.” Mark Twain Literary Society Flambeau Staff—’22-’23 V. O. L. Reporter Academic and Vocational Course Class Prophet Riley Programme Senior Play Vig’s hearty laughs are worth a million dollars. If you hear any one laughing, you may rest assured that Vera is handy. She can tell jokes and they are oftimes original. She likes to talk French but not to any person that knows anything about it. She’s going to be a school marm. She’ll be a good one allright. Don’t get lonesome when at Clarion. “I’ll surprise you some day.” THE FLAMBEAU 21) Besse Belle Whitmore—“Slats” “With dimples in her rosy cheeks, she smiles throughout the day.” Mark Twain Literary Programme Committee—’22-’23 Secretary Sandy Township H. S. Club—’22 Athletic Association Play—’22 Elson Art Exhibit—’22 Basket Ball—’23 Athletic Association Academic and Vocational Course Flambeau Staff—’21-’22-’23 V. 0. L. Senior Play To have “Slats” around means a jolly good time but she can work when she sets her mind to it. Bessie says she’s going to be “an old maid school teacher” but we know better than that. “No trouble about her succeeding at Clarion.” “You make me so mad.” Ruth Wilson—“Ruthie” “Neither bashful nor shy When she rolls those big eyes.” Whittier Literary Society Programme Committee—’22 Treasurer of Whittier Society—’23 V. O. L. President “What Happened to Jones—'22 Class Poet Orchestra—’23 School Pianist—’23 Academic and Vocational Course Flambeau Staff—21-’23 Secretary of Class—’21 Senior Play Ruthie should remember the old proverb, “Early to bed and Early to rise.” We advise her to practice it. She is our school pianist (whenever she is on time.) She is a lover of music and her talent is well seen. She also is a lover of Boys. “Keep up the good spirit Ruth.” “I know I’m late—but- 30 THE FLAMBEAU (Class Tfiomx I often think of the future And the years, that before us do wait— When our happy school days are ended, And we’ve parted from each dear class mate. ’Tis then that we’ll cling to each memory Of school days, happy and free. And remember each friend, especially the ones Of the Class of ’23. We have in our class a lad so shy The girls he just seems to shun. With eyes of brown, and heart so true That’s James E. Anderson. And then Claude Cramer—O my stars! He certainly raises a fuss! But we don’t mind it, indeed we don’t We like him to entertain us. And Ruby Ferrier—she is a gem, Like her name, she’s brilliant and bright, With her curly brown hair, and big blue eyes, She’s surely a shining light. When you need some help, go to “Gene” Heberling, She’ll never fail you—no never. She’s jolly and gay, the same every day, And surely the best friend ever! And Paul Heberling, our basket ball star, In study hall studies so hard? ? He’s popular with all, especially girls, And “yarns” he tells by the “yard.” We’re proud of “Bob” Kranitz, our artist, He’s so very skillful, too. He draws the students, (and the faculty too!) That’s all he likes to do! Now here’s our genius, who knows everything. In P. D. he’s surely a wonder. I’ll tell you his name, it’s Harry Kaplan, I’ve never known him to blunder. Of “Tony” Kessler, theres a tale to tell To tell all, would surely delay me, But I’ll tell you this much, its about two girls Who are known by the name of Bailey! THE FLAMBEAU 31 Don Kiel is a vamp, a regular “boy vamp,” He surely does like the lasses. He lets them know it, and really does show it He has girls in all of the classes. When you look at Claire Lewis, you see in an instant That he’s very studious and bright, He’s a very “good sort,” and a jolly “good sport” And never does what isn’t right. Oh! Emily McCausland’s a girl we admire She’s a girl in whom we all trust You can tell her your secrets, and she never will tell. So eulogize of her, I must. A dear little Scotch lass is Eva McCutcheon, She’s so bonny, gay and free. Sh! Listen! I’ll tell you—she sits back of Paul And hides from the Prof, in P. D. You may look where you will, but you’ll never find A student like George Moralee! He loves to start arguments, especially with girls, And giving his lectures, he’s free. The President of our class is a reliable young man, To him we have always looked up. He likes to tease Eva, but we forgive him for that His name is Orville Nupp. Of Mildred Phelps, there is so much to tell, She’s so cheerful and sunny all day. When she enters a room, the sunshine comes too And she’ll prove a true friend in every way. I’ll tell you now of our dear “Teddy” Russel She has wonderful eyes of dark brown, I know who she likes, but she won’t let me tell, I’ll tell you he lives in this town. Who is it who always has something to say? And who to his foe won’t give in? It’s David Rupert, a very bright lad, Does he flirt? No, he thinks it a sin! With dark, curly hair, and red, rosy cheeks Our Vera Shaffer, so sweet Has won many hearts, and will make a good wife, When the “right one” she chances to meet. 32 THE FLAMBEAU Then Amelia Chick, you surely know her She’s stately, kind and true. In Chemistry Laboratory—sure as fate— She knows just what to do! There’s a cute little blonde in our dear old class, She’s sure to gain glory and land. For she studies so hard, and never gives up, Her name is Crystal Dodd. We all acknowledge that Martha Dinger Is a girl who’ll ever be true. She can cook and sew and—O dear me— There’s nothing that she can’t do! A girl whose chief sin is using “big words” Is our Florence Erickson And you’d better not mention “Flanders” to her If you do—prepare to run! A wee little girl is Mary Talasky She sits in the very last row. She and Eva are “buddies,” and she has many friends But she does’nt even think of a beau! Nowhere else in the school will you find a girl With dimples, like Bessie Whitmore. She’s a very nice girl, and seldom gets cross When she does, there certainly is war! Almost last but not least, is Miss Vera Wagget, She also has dimples, so sweet. She never complains, not even when it rains, Another girl like her, you never will meet. The last on the list is the author of this poem She from care and sorrow always was quite free. But this she wants to add, that she’s surely very glad She belongs to the Class of ’23! Ruth E.

Suggestion is a phase of the social mind that is associated with imitation. Suggestion has the influence to add or detract power to and from any in-divdual whose mind may be either weak or strong. Our country is in need of stabilizing influences that will harmonize with our needs. The three great features which are affected by suggestion are political, economic and social affairs. It depends upon the motive of the individual whether or not that the influence has a good or a bad effect. The affect that exists to-day is mostly the latter. One great danger to our country is the radical influence of irresponsible and vicious character in the political and industrial life of the nation. No better illustration of this fact can be found in the deplorable conditions which exist in Russia at the present time. In our land the annual loss through strikes which might be easily a-verted if the principle of arbrita-tion is followed, is another illustration of the danger already noted. No true American Citizen can afford to ignore these facts and we believe that the High Schools of to-day are giving to our young people, a vision of the importance of recognizing the right sort of influences. Besse Whitmore, ’23 .Scluuil Spirit HAT is school spirit? Can we as a first class High School reach the goal of success without radiating the fundamentals of this spirit? Does school spirit only depend upon the students attending that institution or does it include the alumni and the community as a whole? What can we do to liven this spirit? School spirit is that attitude of feeling that is given towards all school activities which give helpful inspirations to the student body. In order that a High School may be prosperous, the students should work in harmony so that all interests wou’d be based upon a good, lively, spirit. The student body should co-operate with the community in helping to make their school one of the most successful in their town or state. The feeling of this spirit should not die when a graduate leaves the institution of learning but should always do their best for the good of their Alma Mater. We seldom take an interest in any project unless we realize how closely it is associated with our own success. The larger amount of capital that we invest, the more carefully we will scrutinize the methods employed. The same principle holds true in school life. If we regard with indifference our daily class work and shirk the responsibilities which every student should realize, the spirit of the school will decline. On the contrary if the individual scholar endeavors 36 THE FLAMBEAU to make each day a little better than the last and is willing to sacrifice personal pleasure for the good of the school, it will surprise us how rapidly the school spirit will prove an inspiration to all. Such being the case, it is very easy to see the importance of strenuous efforts on the part of every individual. Besse Whitmore, ’23 Jfatrhu'll HE Senior Class will be leaving us soon, never to return and we the Junior Class wish them all a very happy successful journey in life. May success crown their every effort. As we bid them farewell we will extend to them our most hearty good wishes. We the Class of ’24 appreciate their support which they have so readily given us and the school in general. With their most efficient help they have given us lower Classmen much assistance in all our school activities. Though we regret that we are losing them, we feel that there are great opportunities awaiting their future lives. They have gained desired knowledge for which they have so faithfully worked. They will, after this publication, leave the responsibility of the “Flambeau” in our hands, which we will try to make a success in every way. Arthur Hand, ’24. •o- § inmn (Class Jruphmi FTER purchasing my ticket I boarded the train to N. Y. After five minutes, the train started on its long journey. It was a warm sultry day and the breeze that came in through the open windows was very refreshing. My wind was at ease as I gazed on the many pleasant scenes. The farmers were busy with their grains and bountiful fruit. The breeze from the forest of pine and hemlock filled the air with a sweetened scent. A tap on the shoulder aroused me from my gazing. On turning around I was asked, “Do you want to buy any candy, peanuts of pop corn.” It was a small boy of eight or nine carrying a basket full of goodies. Who does he remind me of, I thought. “Here, Buddy, I’ll take some candy,” said an elderly man across the isle. Buddy, the name, where have I heard it before. He returned to me and I paid him for my peanuts. Is your name, Buddy ? I asked. “Yes,” answered the small boy, and my Daddy is conductor on this train. Just then the conductor came in the door and the boy eagerly cried, “This is my Daddy.” I then solved the problem. I was very much surprised to see David Rupert, one of my old class mates. But yet there was a resemblance of blue THE FLAMBEAU 37 eyes in the boy, which I could not place. After talking to David I found out he lived in Birmingham, N. Y., the place where I was going. I told him I was going there and he invited me to his home. “Crystal will be glad to see you,” he said. Crystal! The blue eyes had solved the mystery. The resemblance of Crystal Dodd could easily be seen. He told me of an avaitor in Edlen-ton, a short distance from Birmingham, who was offering his service to the public, giving quick service to Europe. As I intended going to Europe, I told him. I would call around and see him. The train then pulled into Birmingham, and I bid David, Goodbye. Taxi! Taxi! was the cry that greeted my ears as I stepped off the train. I quickly got in the first Taxi and told the taxi driver to take me to High Ridge Hotel. “Yes mam,” he replied. He looked at me and smiled as if he knew me. I was just on the verge of calling him a flirt, when I recognized Harry Kaplan, another one of my class mates, I sure was glad to see. He told me he had been a taxi driver since he left school. He was still single and I thought he would sure make a good husband for some woman. I told him of meeting Bud on the train and he said, that he and David had kept in touch with each other since leaving school. I bid him Goodbye and descended the hotel steps. Arriving at the hotel I ordered my room and soon felt refreshed after my long journey. I went to a small restaurant at the corner of High and Law Street, for my supper. I was hungry for I ate very little on the train. The waitress brought my supper and nobody else was it, but Mary Talasky. She said, she liked the work very much and hoped to keep it. We talked about our class mates and from her I heard about Eva Mc-Cutcheon. She said, she could not tell me about the rest. I told her of my going to Europe and she gave me a hint I might see Eva VIcCutcheon and her husband there. She would tell me no more and kept me in very much suspense. I told her as I was tired, I would go back to the hotel and get a good night’s rest, before beginning my next day’s journey. I bid her Goodbye, wished her luck and went back to the hotel. I had a good night’s rest and felt frisk and fine next morning. I got an early start next morning and found the avaitor with his aeroplane just as David had told me. I talked to the avaitor, who was Orville Nupp, another one of my class mates. He told me as I was one of his class mates, he would give me my ticket at half fare. He said, we could start the next morning as he was not rushed with his work just now. Wednesday morning bright and early we bid all friends at the Landing Field, Goodbye, and started on our trip to Europe. The air was not too hot or too cool. It was just right for a p’easant starting. Our trip proved very successful to Europe, without any trouble. All that was w’rong was that our eats were running low. Safely in Paris, we arrived the ninth day. I wished very much to see the sights, that I long yearned to see. I secured a good room at the Hotel De Paree. The next morning, I got up at sunrise, so eager to see Paris. After dinner I went to the Opera De Chapeau and took in a good Operetta. The music was very beautiful and melodious and the actresses very pleasing. On later investigation I found the vamp actresses were 38 THE FLAMBEAU Vera Shaffer and Gene Heberling and the pianist Ruth Wilson. I happened to get in touch with them and have a short talk. They all were much interested in their work and had proven a great success. They were much surprised to hear about their class mates, whom I had told them about. Being very much pleased with my beginning I wended my way back to the hotel. As evening came on I thought a walk up street would do me good, so I went up street and I had not gone very far when I came face to face with husband and wife, James Anderson and Amelia Chick. I was much surprised to meet so many old class mates in Europe, being there only one day. The little fair faced Amelia was the picture of her mother and baby Jr. with his blue eyes and curly hair, a picture of his father. We had a very pleasant talk and they invited me to their home. James was a noted editor of the Paris Gazette and had won success. They had a new Star Car and promised to call on me next day and take me around Paris. I bid them Good Night and retraced my steps to the hotel. I was overjoyed with my trip to Paris and looked forward to tomorrow’s coming with pleasure. The morrow came with greater hopes dawning and it sure proved an excitable day. It was Amelia with the children, who came after me. She said, “James worked till 3:10 in the P. M.” I jumped in along side of her and we started on a short ride. She took me over the town and around the Industrial Centers. It was a busy city, people to and fro. At 3:10 we called at the Gazette office and who was the Confidential Secretary but Florence Erickson. She had won her heart’s desire and had proved a success; at it. She was liked as a secretary by James, but soon he would lose her. She was engaged to be married to Kenneth Flanders a noted musician from N. Y. I had a very nice talk with Florence and by that time we were all ready to go car riding. I met no more of my class mates in Paris and at the end of the week I started on my way to Scotland. I had a very good time in Paris, and hated to leave it. Mr. and Mrs. Anderson had shown me a very good time, especially on the short trips we had taken. Many beautiful bridges, Cathedrals, water fronts and beautiful sights I saw. I bought a pack of cards of Paris as a souvenier before I left Paris. I got the service of the aviator quickly and we set out for Scotland. Scotland was a beautiful country and was visited by many travelers. I reminded Orville of often hearing Eva McCutcheon speaking of Scot-and and I wondered if I might meet her here. The highland plaid was a different way of dressing, from the Parisian Styles. We made a short trip around the country in the aeroplane as flying was enjoyed very much at this time. We landed on a Landing Field which was a very good landing place, called the “Delta Slope.” As I wedged my way through the crowd of people, threw off the suspense of my mind. I had not gone far when I ran into Mr. and Mrs. George Moralee, the latter formerly Eva McCutcheon. They were enjoying their visit to Scotland, on their honeymoon. They had left Paris a week before I had and they were very sorry that we had not met in Paris, to enjoy the sights together. They asked me THE FLAMBEAU 39 to dine with them and as Orville and I had planned to dine together, we four had our supper at the Bar-lowe Hotel. We enjoyed the evening very much taking in a lecture at the, “Keep Moving Theatre.” The lecturer was a missionary from South America. He was introduced as Dr. Claude E. Cramer. One of my old class mates,” again sounded in my ear. I was more than surprised to find so many of my class mates with different professions having won success. This was a surprise to we four, as being fortunate in having him speak. He was a very good speaker and on further investigation we heard he had his wife with him. As we went forward to congratulate him, we were introduced to his wife, Bessie Whitmore. We congratulated him on his success in becoming a missionary and as having won smiling Bessie as his wife. They were very much surprised to hear of their old class mates being in different parts of the country. They both liked missionary work very much and had made a good hit. We bid them Good Bye and left them. The view from my room in the hotel was very good and I quickly took advantage of it. I decided the next day to see a little of Scotland. Just as I was ready to leave my room, a rapping came at my door. I opened the door and awaiting me were Mr. and Mrs. George Moralee. They had planned a nice trip with Orville in the aeroplane. The people had not yet been to the Landing Field and we had no trouble in getting started. We had a very nice trip and came back to our rooms very tired. While in Scotland I had the pleasure of visiting the grade school. It was in the suburbs, situated by a very nice lake. As I was a school teacher, I thought I would like to visit the schools in the different countries. I went to the school alone. I enjoyed the sights very much on the way to the school. The buildings appeared to be very high. I looked up at the top of a high building and read, “Kessler, Lewis and Co. Furniture Store.” I wondered if it might be any of my old class mates. I received information from a newspaper that I bought from a newsie. At the top of the newspaper in large letters I read, “furniture at half-price at Kessler Lewis and Co. To satisfy my curiosity, I walked in as one of the customers. The building was an up-to-date model. A clerk came to me and asked, “if she could do anything for me.” I asked her kindly, if the managers were in. “Yes,” she replied, and showed me the way to the office, I climbed two flights of stairs, rather than taking the elevator, and walked in the office. Just as I expected, it was Claire Lewis and Myri Kessler two more old class mates. They seemed to have pretty good business. I was surprised to see how well they managed things. As I had not much time, I talked with them a short while and bid them the time of day. I then proceeded to the school. I enjoyed the walk very much. I ran up the steps and tapped on the door lightly. In my mind I pictured a very cross looking woman but I did not think long till the door was opened. On the contrary it was a sweet smiling lady of twenty three years, no other than Edna Russell. She proved to be a very good teacher and could handle the scholars with good tact. We had a very nice talk and I heard from her that she was to be married to Paul Heberling, another class mate, 40 THE FLAMBEAU We walked to town together and got our supper at an up-to-date restaurant, later taking in a show. Another day of unforgetful joy. I enjoyed myself very much in Scotland and a week later again sought the aeroplane. I thought I would like to see the country of Belgium, so we turned our journey there. It was a small country with a large population. The people were kind and hospitable. I my short stay in Belgium, I visited one of the largest hospitals there. The matron was a very small kind lady with curly hair, Ruby Ferrier. She had worked herself up to gain the position as matron. She made a wonderful little matron. I had an hours talk with her in her private office. She was very much pleased to hear of her class mates as I had told her. I spent a few days in Belgium, making several calls on Ruby. One of the chief amusements there was rowing on the river. I enjoyed myself immensely while there. As )ur time was getting short we made our voyage back to U. S. A. We had a successful trip both ways for which we were very thankful. After arriving in N. Y., I immediately sought out Mr. and Mrs. David Rupert. I found them all well and happy. Baby Nellie with her shiny red curls had sure won my heart. She was a fat dimpled baby of two years. I told them as my time was nearly up and I wanted to make a visit to Ohio yet, I would seek out my long engaged room at the, “High Ridge Hotel.” I rested for two days, amusing myself by visiting the parks, museums and Cathedrals. On the third day in the early morning I was on my way to Ohio. I arrived at Canton, Ohio, feeling good as ever. I arrived in the P. M. got lunch and went to a movie. The name of the show was, “The Highway Dame.” The show was very good and the music beautiful. I lingered a little longer than usual and as I was ready to leave who came up but Don Kiel. He belonged to the, “Cutaway Eight.” I had the pleasure of walking to the hotel with him. I bid him Good Bye and sought my room at the, “Palm Hotel.” I rested for one day as I was very tired. The third day being Sunday, I went to Church. It was a very beautiful Methodist Church. The congregation was large and also the choir. The leader of the choir was a young lady magnificiently dreseed. Her hair shown with an auburn tint as the rays of sun fell on it. I immediately recognized Mildred Phelps. She seemed to love her work very much. After Church I had a short talk with her. She was very glad to hear of her class mates, as I had to’d her. I bid her Good Bye and again sought my apartments. I visited the towns in Ohio for three days. The homes in Ohio were very beautiful. I bid Good Bye to my friends there and again found myself in N. Y. Quickly! Call the ambulance were the first words I heard as I stepped off the train. I saw a small boy with his leg hurt who had been hit by a truck. He had dark hair and dark eyes. He rolled his eyes as if in misery. The ambulance arrived within five minutes and .rushed him to the hospital Later in the evening I called to see how he was getting along. As I was asking him some questions, the nurse came in to give him his medicine. Emily McCausland was this brave young nurse. She told THE FLAMBEAU 41 me she soon would graduate. We talked about our old school mates and were both pleased with everyone’s success. As time was fleeing my mind drifted back to the little boy. Oh! Yes, said Emily. This little boy is a Kranitz. His Daddy is Robert. Another one of my class mates I was more than surprised to hear of. Yes! said Emily. Robert owns a block of buildings on Dealer Street and is now living on his income. I then bid Bobby Jr. and nursie Good Bye, and walked down street. I went to my room and was in deep thought for one hour thinking of my class mates. I sure would have plenty to tell when I got home. As I had only tiil the end of the week for my visiting, I decided to go home and rest the days remaining. I took the P. M. train and as I got on the train, Martha Dinger and her husband got off. His name I shall not tell you. I arrived in DuBois very tired, after my long trip. I sure had a good story to tell my friends. But the next trip I took I was a school marm teaching country school, 'low Johnnie, rise and toe the mark. By Vera Waggett, ’23. ■o (Class Ijistnru ON September 8, 1919, we as Freshmen knocked for entrance to Sandy High. We then numbered forty seven. Well can we remember our first day. We were timid, nervous, almost afraid to move lest some of those whom we were to know as upper classmen would trample us underfoot. This feeling lasted for one week. Then there was a great change. Some of our own male members became brave and began to annoy the upper classmen. They considered us green. We thought ourselves smart. In the first week of October we had our first class meeting. Officers were elected. They were: President, Orville Nupp, Vice President, Margaret Simpson, Secretary, Mae Smith, and Treasurer, Alice Heberling. For class colors maroon and white were selected. Our motto was “Climb though the rocks be rugged.” Well they were rugged. But to return to something of more interest. Our teachers found us willing workers. Indeed Don Kiel was so bright that in Algebra class he used to take a front seat every day. Ae the request of the teacher of course. He wasn’t the only one that was bright. Claude Cramer could eat apples without getting caught. On thru the fall until Christmas we wended our way. We were always happy. We enjoyed everything but our examinations. When we returned from our Christmas vacation we found Mid-Term examinations staring us in the face. Somehow we managed to wade through them. It took more than examinations to down us. We were soon on our feet. Then came Commencement. Such Sunday School faces that were seen. Guess soap helped. 42 THE FLAMBEAU We ended our first year by uniting with the Sophomores in giving a reception for the departing Seniors. Some of the boys bashfully asked the girls if they might take them home. Harry Kaplan was too bashful. He went home on a bicycle. Sopltntnre Vmv ON September 13, 1920 we entered Sandy High with a bold step and a pugnacious attitude toward the incoming Freshmen. What fun we had in calling them greenies. But alas! Our number had been reduced to thirty. Of course this was just the sifting out process. Only the best were left. In the fii'st class meeting Orville Nupp was re-elected President and Alice Heberling Treasurer. Mildred Phelps was elected Vice President and James Anderson Secretary. In the Sophomore year three new teachers had been added to the faculty. Two od ones had been retained. Miss Hamilton remained the English teacher and Mr. Heffle-finger the principle. Miss Bailey came as teacher in History and Mathematics. Miss Free and Mr. Harmon took charge of the Vocational department. We were overjoyed when on November 4, 1920 we moved into our new high school building. Such exploring that took place during the next few days. We soon had to cease our exploring. Mr. Hefflefinger explained that it was work not exploring that was needed. His orders were followed v uite meekly. Except when he wasn’t looking. In the fall two Literary societies were organized. They were the Mark Twain and Whittier Literary Societies. How important we felt when put on the program. We enjoyed everything but speaking from the stage. As is always the case we had to take examinations. As always though we came through with flying colors. We continued thru the year happy and carefree. Jimmie Anderson surprised us all by alwrays wanting to talk before the teacher. In the spring one of our favorites Mr. Harmon left us. In his place came Mr. Gearhart. He introduced us to the art of tree planting. The grounds of our high school will demonstrate this art. Thru the glorious months until June our hearts remained light. Of course all of us were wishing for vacation. We left on June 9, 1921 fully qualified to return as Juniors. THE FLAMBEAU 43 3) tint nr Hear ET it be understood that in September 1921 we re- j turned to Sandy a trifle concerted. You see we now had two classes to look down upon. We found that Miss Hamilton, Miss Bailey and Miss Free had returned to brighten their class rooms. Mr. Stauffer came as our new supervising principle. Mr. Zech became the new agricultnral instructor while Mr. McNeal took charge of the Science department. Mr. Stauffer was found to be very strict. When the first months reports were given out there were some excited children in Sandy High. Behavior marks hovered around seventy. A good many resolutions were made. At our first class meeting officers were elected. Orville Nupp was again re-elected president, Alice Heberling, Treasurer and James Anderson Secretary. Merle Kessler was chosen as Vice President. In October a social was held at Salem. This was a decided success. As usual the only things that worried us were our examinations. But then we always came thru with flying colors. As to class work our teachers always said we were exceptionally bright. David Rupert was the shining light in American History. When it came to “not” reciting Vera Shaffer held first place. In English David Rupex-t again did honors for the Senior Class. Ruby Ferrier came a close second. It is best not to discuss the other classes, became you see the author himself has never done any sewing or cooking. In the Vocational Room the boys always tried to do •.heir best. Sometimes Merle Kessler would get so excited he would try to answer Mr. Zech’s questions before he asked them. In the spring our thoughts turned too a class play. Mr. Stauffer thought otherwise. He refused to allow us to have a play. We felt that we had been cheated out of a right that was ours. For the second time since we had entered high school we saw a class graduate. Onlythis time we were Juniors instead of Freshmen. To us was given the Mantle. We felt rather proud of our presidents response to the Mantle oration. June the fifth found us ready to take our summer vacation. We were now qualified as Seniors, the object for which we had been working for three years. 44 THE FLAMBEAU Senior Hear £9 O be a Senior wasn’t as nice as it had looked to us when we were underclassmen. We no longer had upper classmen to look upon as leaders. Rather we were to be the leaders. We did not relish the idea. The first week was spent in renewing old acquaintances. We had three new teachers with whom we must become acquainted. Mr. Spigelmyer won us instantly with his ready smile. Miss Fisher also won fame thru her smile. Mr. Attinger was liked by all because he was so good natured. Miss Bailey was no longer in position to teach us anything (we knew to much already) so she proceeded to give us behavior marks. Miss Free and Mr. Zech remained in charge of the Vocational department. We were mote than glad to have Miss Hamilton as our English teacher. Of course we entered upon our Senior work with interest. We were anxious to show our teachers how much we knew. Instead we showed them what we had yet to learn. In chapel is where the Senior boys shone. They had possession of half the song books. They were so willing to sing it was not uncommon to see some of the boys with two song books. Of course they were not always so foolish. They were capable of making brilliant recitations. If you don’t believe it ask Mr. Attinger. If examinations worried us we didn’t show it. Of course after were used to them. Nevertheless examinations for three years we the Mid-term examinations worried some of us. But then Mr. Attinger did not keep us in suspence. He soon told us we had all passed. We received the surprise of our lives one morning in March when it was announced that Alice Heber-ling our Treasurer had quietly slipped away and taken unto herself a helpmate. She left the class money wdiich was our chief worry. Well—Spring always brings thots of love and matrimony. It got Alice. There was nothing left to do but congratulate her. Because of this un'ooked for “accident” we had to elect a new treasurer. This was in the person of Claire Lewis. The rest of the class was elected to hold him. In March we ordered our invitations after Mr. Spigelmyer had told us the date of Commencement. Another event was: We had our pictures taken. You see we all wanted our pictures in the school paper. During the first week of April the cast for the Senior play was selected. There are sixteen characters in this play. We hope our play will be a success. We are sorry to leave Sandy High. The four years we spent here have been happy. We only hope that the incoming classes will uphold the high standard of Sandy High School. George E. Moralee, ’23 THE FLAMBEAU 45 (Lite (Class of 23 V Lune “The Capital Ship” I know a class so bright and gay. It’s the class of ’23. The best you’ll find in many a day, So full of hope and glee. “Climb tho’ the rocks be rugged.” Is our motto of loyalty! The “white rose” is our flower true, A symbol of purity. A class that’s always sure to win, Is the class of ’23! With “maroon and white,” her colors bright, She’ll ride to Victory! We’ll never let her colors fade, Nor let them touch the ground. We’ll strive to keep them up on high, And let our toil be crowned. CHORUS Then—heres to ’23! The best you’ll ever see. The best of the day, we’re proud to say, Full of pep and loyalty!

R.‘ ’23 50 THE FLAMBEAU S duut pimtiters uf J nrimt (ttifrilkatitm N reviewing the records of the developement of civilization we are filled with wonder to learn through facts that the so-called “Seven Wonders of the World” some of which exist at present, are the most remarkable achievements ever accomplished by man. Without actually perceiving them with the eye it is difficult for us to understand their grandeur and awe— inspiring character. Let us try to picture them in our minds. Possibly the greatest of these is the Pyramids, which for six-thousand years have thrown their shadow across the sands of Egypt. These continue in an almost unbroken chain from Cairo south for nearly seventy miles. They are built of rough hewn blocks of stone with a covering of white marble and are all so geometrically perfect that there appears on an average, an error of less than one in every in teen thousand of length and even less in angle. Their interior consists of chambers leading through dark passage ways to the openings, which are usually on the side facing North. The largest of these or the Great Pyramid which is situated near Ghizeh, originally stood on a base seven hundred and sixty lour feet long on each side, but owing to the removal of the outer covering it is now only seven-hun-dred-and-forty-six feet long. It’s perpendicular height was originally four hundred and eighty feet and nine inches, but at present is only four hundred and sixty feet. The building of this required the work of one hundred thousand slaves for over thirty years. Leaving Egypt for Babylon we come to the “Hanging Garden” which have been attributed to Semiramis, although Nebuchadnezzar is also said to have built them to please one of his wives, who, coming from a hilly country where flowers and green plants grew in abundance, sighed for some reminder of her old home. The Gardens were built so as to extend over seven-hundred feet in length and to rise to a height of seventy five feet in terraces supported on massive pillars. These were kept in almost perpetual verdure by a remarkable hydraulic system. This system consisted of a resevoir built at the top to which water was lifted from the Euphrates river. The third of these wonders to which we are attracted is the Mausoleum Halicarnassus. It was a monument erected three hundred and four years before Christ in memory of King Mausolus by his ardou Artemisia. The best and most noted architects of that time were employed in the execution of this enterprise. Artemisia died before it was completed, but the architects continued their work with all the enthusiasm of artists. In order to give us some idea of it’s size it has been said that it was surrounded by an esplanade which was over three hundred feet on each side. Its total height was nearly one hundred and fifty feet. This piece of art existed until the fourth century of our own era, when it was destroyed by the Turks. THE FLAMBEAU 51 Then, at Rhodes there was created a short lived piece of art called the “Colossus of Rhodes,” which was made, as nearly as can be learned about three hundred years before Christ. It was raised, a-long with a hundred other statues to the Sun God on the island called Rhodes, and was the largest of all these. It was dedicated to Appollo, the Sun God because the people thought that it was he who delivered Rhodes from Demetrius Poliorcetes, their enemy who had beseiged them just before. The material used in it’s construction was the spoils from the war with Demetrius. The sculptor was Chares, whose time was occupied for twelve years in the work. This immense statue,one finger of which was larger than an ordinary statue was over one hundred and twenty two feet high. It stood in the city on two hugh pillars. It was destroyed in two hundred and twenty four before Christ by an earthquake, which caused it to fall and become very badly broken. Even the pieces were regarded as treasures. We are in Ephesus, where is the “Temple of Diana,” erected by the Ionians to the Goddess of Chastity and hunting whom they called Diana. It took two hundred and twenty years to complete this temple and it measured four hundred feet in length and two hundred feet in width. It contained no less than one hundred and twenty seven Ionic columns which are nearly sixty five feet high. It was despoiled by Nero and finally it was completely destroyed by the Goths. Some ruins still remain. We are now appalled as we stand before the statue of “Jupiter,” which was wrought by the famous sculptor Phidias. It was erected in Olympus and measured forty three feet in height above the base. The body was carved from ivory and the drapery was of solid gold. There has never, as far as known been any other statue of such size of such perfection, and of such precious material. Nothing of the statue remains at present except a portion of the black marble base on which it stood. The seventh and last of these wonders was a light house on the island of Pharos, which was erected by Ptolemy Philadelphus two centuries before the time of Christ. This white marble structure, over five hundred feet high, threw it’s light, made by a beacon fire out to sea over thirty miles. This existed until the thirteenth century, although even by that time it was in a sad condition on account of the action of the sea and earthquakes. Although at present there is created or recently have been created, some really wonderful things, they do not possibly even begin to compare in grandeur with these ancient wonders. Katharine Pifer, ’24. 52 THE FLAMBEAU (Lite luuuancc nf 3lnlui(utiim HE man who increases the world by the process of trade, manufacture, min-material wealth of the ing, or agriculture does much for us. But in praising the successful business man we must not forget the man with the idea. Before any of these men such as the farmer for instance, or in fact before any of us can do things that seem vvorth while, we must first be shown the way by the inventor. The record of the advance of civilization shows that in the majority of cases the ability to invent and make a practical success of the invention is very exclusive. In most cases the inventor is so wrapped up in his idea, that he does not have a clear conception as to what to do with it. Sometimes we find a man who has the qualifications that lead him to make a great invention and carry it to a practical success. And by such men who overcome scientific and industrial obstacles the “Romance of Invention” is carried on. We Americans should be very proud when we realize that some of the greatest and most important inventions were by Americans. The first scientific invention of any importance was the cotton-gin invented by Eli Whitney in 1793. This invention aided wonderfully in the increase of the wealth of our country during the 18th and 19th centuries. But it also helped to establish more firmly the institution of slavery as more work could be done with it and therefore more slaves were required. But though this invention has it’s defects it is of great importance to our country. The next important invention was the steamboat by Robert Fulton in 1807. This invention was very important as it increased trade and much time and labor was saved in navigation. From this rude steam boat has sprung the great battleships which act in the defense of our country and the great trading vessels that carry on our commerce. The first commercial telegraph line was built by Samuel F. B. Morse between Baltimore and Washington in 1844. In 1896 the telegraph was brought to perfection when Marconi invented a method of transmitting wireless message. The wireless telegraph is a great benefit to our country and we could scarcely carry on our business life if we were suddenly deprived of it. It also prevents acidents and saves many lives. This is illustrated in the case of the “Seneca” a ship patrolling the North Atlantic. It found two great icebergs in the regular U. S. steamer lanes and sent out wireless warnings to all nearby steamships thus saving a great loss of money and lives. The first telephone was introduced to the people at the Centen-ial Exhibition in Philadelphia in 1876 by Alexander Graham Bell. At this time he was a very young and his elders laughed at him for squandering money in taking out a patent on his “toy” as they called it. However Bell was not so easily discouraged and one year later he THE FLAMBEAU 5!! improved his first invention and took out a patent on it. From these two patents has sprung a means of communication the world could scarcely do without. Dr. Bell is living today to see the great success of his invention which was not merely accidental but the direct result of experiment and investigation. The next time you lift the receiver and call a number think of the magic of the growth of the telephone since the first patent taken out by Dr. Bell in 1876, up to the present time. The next great invention was the automobile. The first American built automobile run by a gasoline engine was invented by Elwood Haynes of Kokomo Indiana in 1894. It is now on exhibition in the Smithsonion Institute Washington D. C. The rude carriage that was a curiosity twenty-six years ago was the beginning of the greatest transporation aid since the birth of ivilization. Because of it our standards of living have become higher and it has broadened the horizon of all of us. The first crude submarine was built during the reign of King James I. and about one hundred years later a man by the name of Day built another one. However little is said of the construction and success of these early inventions. The first really serious attempt at inventing a submarine was made by Busnell during the Revolutionary War. But he was so bitterly opposed by the naval authorities that he was forced to leave the country and was unable to complete his invention. The next man to take up the submarine was Robert Fulton the inventor of the steamboat. While some success was attained by these inventions it was not until about 1897 that any real progress was made. In 1897 Simon Lake invented the first controllable submarine that would navigate under water. This is the type that U. S. has adopted and to be built in their naval yards. The submarine played a great part in the World War and is also remarkable for its simplicity in construction. The next important invention is the aeroplane by the Wright Brothers of Ohio in 1908. Although there is little left of the original in the developement of the aeroplane of 1920 the fact remains that the heavier—than— air machine was first invented by the Wright Brothers. Their invention and patent are unquestionably the foundation of modern aviation. At the present time a New York inventor is working on collapsible wings for aeroplanes and if this invention proves successful many accidents can be saved in landing. The success of these inventions comes entirely from hard thinking plus hard fighting and this success cannot help but be an inspiration to everyone. Sprague said:—“If you want something ask for it. If you cannot get it by asking, fight for it. If what you have to offer is good, it will win in the end. But it will win against prejudice and inertia, only, if you believe in it, work for it, and fight, for it.” Paul Heberling, ’23. 54 THE FLAMBEAU Mtti the Class of ’24 c We, the class of ’24, Are very proud to say That, while we have our little faults, We’re the best class of the day. Perhaps you have not had the chance, To know each lad and lass, So we will try to describe to you The members of our class. George Ashenfelter comes first on the list; He is our president wise; He falls in love with all the girls, And Oh! how he makes eyes! Evelyn Atwell, who lives on a hill, By the “F. A. M.’s” is called “Pat.” She’s not one of our quietest girls, And is neither too thin nor too fat. Wilbur Aurand, who is tall and fair Adores his neighbor, Miss Lewis, He excels in History, English and French, And was bashful, when he came to us. Guy Bertiaux has the best seat in the room He always knows his lessons? ? ? ? He furnishes answers for Algebra class, And is late for morning sessions. Evelyn Boring, who has jet black locks, Can think of nothing but Johnny. We do not know what she’s thinking of him But ’tis said he thinks she’s quite bonny. Next on the list is a bashful boy, Whose name is “Biddy” Boyer, Altho’ we don’t know what is his aim, We think he’d make a good lawyer. Ruth Bundy is a studious girl? ? ? And gets good marks in History, We cannot guess who she likes the best, To us it has been a mystery. Harold Cable is a short little lad, He lives on Main Extension, He works so hard that we all think He’ll make a great invention. THE FLAMBEAU 55 Charlotte Carbaugh, who comes from Brooks, Plays the violin with skill; She has a smile for everyone, And does nothing against her will. The shortest boy in all the class Is jolly Leland Clark; Some day he’ll be in Congress, If he doesn’t miss his mark. Next on the list comes quiet John Crowe, Who sits all day and studies, He is the manager of all our plays, He and Howard are very good “buddies.” Our Basket Ball forward is Marie Devine, She helps make the score in each game; And if she keeps on at the rate she is going, She’ll gain both honor and fame. Next to Marie comes her sister Martha, Who is also on the team; She has long golden hair and bright blue eyes, And likes to sit and dream. On down the list comes Howard Divins, Who is very bright, indeed; He is tall and thin with a dimple in his chin, In whatever he tries he’ll succeed. Anne Griesmer is a bright sunny lass, Whose hair has a permanent curl; She says she does not like the boys, And is a very modest girl. Nelle Gent is a girl who’s full of fun, And most always eating candy; She makes a good bluff in History Class, And for Literary comes in handy. George Gifford is a quiet boy, Except when he’s making a noise; He gets his lessons and is never late, Working Algebra is one of his joys. Alice Gocella has dark bobbed hair: She comes from Falls Creek each day; She is teasing Charlotte from morn till night, But never has much to say. Next on the list is Arthur Hand, Who talks the livelong day; He’s an artist with the saxaphone, Oh! you should hear him play! 5fi THE FLAMBEAU Now here we have a very bright boy, Whose name is Leolin Hayes; He’ll do something great for the world some day, And show that studying pays. In the front row sits Hazel Huller, Who is very, very bright; And in the ladder of success we’re sure She’ll reach the greatest height. Next comes Jake Jones who is full of fun, He’s always cracking jokes; His hair is as red as red can be, And he’s brighter than many folks. Wilda Kiel comes in on the car, She’s always bright and gay; She’s just the person to have around, On a dreary rainy day. Jennie Keller, with manner so sweet, Is very bashful and quiet; She likes a little boy named John, And never starts a riot. Philip Kranitz, who is sporting new “specs,” Looks just like Dr. Jack; He often plays hookey with the other boys, But never fails to come back. Adeline Lindahl, who lives at Clear Run, Has golden curly hair; And all the boys are after her, Because she is so fair. Mary Malasky is a girl we all like, Because she is so kind; A girl whose conduct is better, We don’t think you could find. Dorothy McCaucland can surely recite And in Literary shines like a star, She’ll teach elocution when she graduates, Her fame will be known near and far. Alice McDonald, who studies so hard, From Eriton comes; but hark! I’ll tell you a secret if you won’t tell; She goes with a boy named Mark. Alta Naugle has learned to play The violin with skill; She has a beau in the Junior class, Against her mother’s will. THE FI AMBEAU 57 Earl Postletwait has a very bad habit Of smoking cigarettes; He is very popular with the girls, And greatly favors the “Wets.” Olga Pearson is a girl Who is always giggling in school; She likes a boy in the Junior class, But treats him rather cool. Charlotte Peterson so bright for her size Is always talking to Dan; She’s always merry, cheerful and gay, And gets her lessons when she can. Martha Stanton, who as “Shorty” is known, Is very short and slim; She has bright red cheeks, that are nature’s own She likes a boy named Jim. A girl who always has a smile Is Clara Williams so sweet; She plays the piano with very much skill, And is always dressed so neat. John Wall is a fortress for our class, As his very name suggests He sits in the last row in Caesar class, And in Caesar is among the best? ? ? ? The authors of this, as fate has decreed. Will be old maids ’tis said; And live in a cottage tiny and wee, Although this fate we dread. Ethel Wilson, ’24. Katherine Pifer, ’24. 58 THE FLAMBEAU lUtlit iLifc uf liuutsijlliania HEN William Penn first appeared in Pennsylvania, nature lavished with wild animals, both bird and fish life. Deer, bears, and even panthers were killed in what is now the city of Philadelphia, buffaloes roamed between the Great Lakes and the State of Georgia. The Moose which came to Pennsylvania from the North during the severe winters were almost exterminated at this time. At the present time all these curious forms of wild life are gone. And are we any better off without them? The older people enjoy telling of the flights of the wild pigeons, and their migration in the Spring and Autumn in uncounted millions, which even darkened the sun. In 1878 a law was passed for their protection, but it came to late. The Golden Eagle is occasionly seen in our Keystone State, but always rarer than the American Eagle, commonly known as “The Bird of Freedom.” It is said to be an inspiring and even thrilling scene to see these birds soaring over the waters, as they foamed over the rocks of the Delaware River and today, they are but a memory. The smaller birds of prey, such as the owl, are becoming scarce in our state. The raven is a thing of the past, partly due to the commercial value, their pretty little nests have been cruelly rifled for so long that the older birds have become discouraged and they have left for other climates. In past years when a hunter shot a deer and lost it, the deer was located by the circling of ravens. Herons, Cranes and King fishers which once added so much to the harmony of nature along the picturesque waters, have been killed by gunners. Through the efforts of Bird Clubs and conservation Leagues, our song birds are fairly well protected by law and by public sentiment. What would our orchards, forests and gardens be like without these cheerful songsters? It would be like the earth without its sunshine. The search for bee trees is still a fascinating sport in our forests. A Clinton County Naturalist said, that the first bees brought to this Country were black with a single white spot on their back. I think that our younger people have lost much of the joy of life, by the absence of the forest, birds, and animals. The forest fires are being fought with great zeal by the Forestry Department. Also Boy Scouts, and civic organizations. And every effort by the Game Commission has been put forth to conserve our game supply, and certainly bears and deers are increasing. Fisherman’s license laws help increase the propogation of fish, and is a benefit to our state. We need forests and wild life to keep alive the spirit of our forefathers and to train the younger generation to appreciate natures beauty. Conservation is now in the hands of every citizen, and why not save beautiful Pennsylvania? We can have the hunters paradise as described by William Penn. The Penns Woods which we see in our dreams, and that which instinct has taught us to love. Let us all help to re-create the tall forests, overflowing with animal and bird life. And the pure waters above all help check the forest fires and conserve natural resourses for the coming generations. Evelyn Atwell, ’24 THE FLAMBEAU 59 (the iU'lu'kipntintt of the IHest N the sisteenth century the King of Great Britain gave grants of land to certain corporations. These grants extended for a small distance along the Atlantic Ocean in length and to the Pacific in breadth. Little did they realize the possibilities or size of this vast part of the continent, inhabited by the Savage Indians, or the great nation which in three centuries rose to be the greatest nation in the world. They knew only that this was a lone land, barren of everything except the primeval forest and the barest necessities of life. People, persecuted in England, settled in these colonies, the forerunners of civilation as it were, and after a time began to move westward. This, however was not a very general movement, the first great wave of westward expansion ocurring just after the French and Indian War. The pioneers led by Boone, Sevier, Harod and others poured into the forest lands of the Ohio, the Tennessee and the Cum-to observe that migrations usually berland Valleys. It is interesting to observe that migration usually follows a war and this was no exception. The second wave of Westward migration followed the War of 1812, filling the Indians, the Illinois, the Mississippi and the Missouri territories and bringing the states of Indiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Alabama and Illinois into the Union. The third and now wonderful era of Westward expansion occured chiefly after Mexican War and reached to the Pacific Ocean. The West had been settled, gold had been discovered and now the problem was to develop it. The West which was the hunting gi’ound of the Indians was conquered by civilization. The game was being driven out, exterminated. Starvation threatened and the Indians, always warlike, in desperation now resorted to War. But their fight was in vain; they could not resist the tremendous wave of civilization. They were pushed back slowly but always backward. Again in desperation they made their last stand-----and lost. On May 10, 1869 the Union Pacific railway was completed. This was one of the greatest factors in the developement of the West, opening it to commerce. The Reclamation projects inaugarated by the late Theodore Roosevelt was also a great factor. By this thousands of acres of land in the West were converted into fertile farms and ranches which produce the finest fruit and vegetables in the United States. The West is almost fully developed. But the vast, lone, forested land, laden with treasure and waiting for man to reach out his hand and grasp it; the magnificent scenery with a strange grandness even in its lonliness is a fitting place for the birth of so ideal and powerful a nation. Jake Jones, ’24. THE FLAMBEAU Oft (llic ifmtrh Krluilutinn j i HE French Revolution was caused by the abuses and extravagances of the Bourbon monarchy, the unjust priveleges enjoyed by the nobility and higher clergy, the wretched condition of the poorer classes of people and the revolutionary character and spirit of French philosophy and literature. The American nevo.utionary and its success also drove the French people to a revolutionary against the nobility. The Revolution began by the people of Paris storming the Bastille, the old state prison, and set-ing free the prisoners. When the messenger reached the King and told him the news he exclaimed, “What, Rebellion!” “No, sire,” was the response: “it is Revolution.” The great French Revolution had indeed begun. The French cities now copied Paris’s example and stormed the meal bastille. The National Assembly was threatened but it managed to ward off the angry mob by promises, which they kept upon pain of death. Many lords and lobles joined in rivalry to see which one could pay the most taxes and give money and land to the commons. Thus in one day much of the rubbish of the broken down fuedal system was cleared away. After the abolition of the fuedal system the National Assembly drew up the Declaration of the Rights of Man, which made all men free and equal, recognized the sov-erignty of the people, making the law impartial to none, and that no person could be arrested or imprisoned save according to the forms of the law. The people of Paris marched to Versailles and captured the King and his families. They brought them back to Paris and p aced him under guard in the Fuileries. He afterwards tried to escape but was captured before he reached another country. On the 14th of September 1791, the new constitution was framed. The National Assembly which had sat for two years then adjourned. The enemies of France conquered Paris but the common people soon drove out their enemies and massacred the Swiss guards who were defending the nobility. The people of Paris urged by the Danton massacred the Royalists so they might strike terror to the army that was marching upon Paris. The number of victims is estimated between eight hundred and fourteen hundred. It was the greatest crime of the French Revolution. The monarchy was abolished and France became a republic on Sept. 22, 1792. The King was soon afterwards executed to the cries of “Vive la Re-publique.” The convention reorganized the Great Committee of Public Safety, suspended the constitution and gave this new body of twelve men, executive authority. Its rule is known as the “Reign of Terror.” Everyone who spoke a word against the new government was slain. The Queen was killed and most all of the nobles. The worship of God was not allowed, the French worshiped the Goddess of Reason. This was soon done away with after a short time. Many of the places removed from Paris had no quillotine so they kill- THE FLAMBEAU 61 ed the nobles by drowning, flaying them alive or by other means. The Reign of Terror accomplished what the Terrorrists had aimed to produce, it left no opposition in France. A new constitution was framed and the representatives in the new legislative were two thirds old and one third new. A mob of forty thousand people attacked them but a young artillery leader, Napoleon Boneparte, trained his guns upon them and they retreated. The government was now made up of the Directory, consisting of five members, in whom the executive power was in. It also provided for two legislative bodies. Napoleon was now given command over the army, so he determined to make Italy a republic. He formed Northern Italy into the Cisalpine Republic and Genoa was formed into the Ligurian Republic. He defeated the Sardinians and Austrians after having crossed the Alps. Napoleon crossed the Alps again, having heard that the other commanders needed help in Germany. Austrian capital that Emporer Francis II. sued for peace and the Treaty of Campo Formio was arranged. Austria ceded the Belgium provinces to the Frensh Republic, •eorganized Rhine as French boundary line and acknowledged the Cisalpine Republic. Austria received the Venetian dominions save the Ionian islands. Napoleon then conquered Egypt so that he might strike England. The government offered resistance so he set sail for France and overthrew the government. He was then made Dictator, or head of France. The French Revolution was over.

THE FLAMBEAU 67 to jBmrnte S a member of the Junior Class of ’24, I feel that it is my bounden duty to invent this essay. I will begin at the beginning by stating that htis is the first paragraph. It will be used in this case as an introduction, of which there is now enough. This is the second paragraph. It may be likened unto the first, in that it contains words and sentences This must be the first paragraph concerning the essay and, as it must be illustrative of the power of a Junior of ’24 to set forth in writing their ideas, shall strike fire into the brain of the reader. This is the third paragraph in which I shall do my utmost to portray to my patient headers the whys and wherefores of an education. In the first place, what is education? It is a number of qualities gained by a victim under individual instruction. In the second place, how may you gain an education? But it is the office of this essay to explain such a weighty matter. In this, the fourth paragraph, I shall launch into the depths of my subject. To gain an education, divide the number of rainy days in April, by the number of cats in the back yard. Subtract from this your telephone number to which has been added the number of bones in your right arm. Add to this one million dollars. This result will be the number of hours to be spent in study. To find the number of books necessary for said education, multiply seven thousand six hundred forty-nine and five tenths by the number of times Christmas came during the year of 1492 A. D. Apply yourself diligently to the a-fore said knowledge and you will become as wise as Solomon. This is the fifth paragraph and the conclusion. I now, my dear friends, do bow myself from your presence with many thanks to express my appreciation for your attention. Dorothy McCausland, ’24 68 THE FLAMBEAU (Lhe iVtght of Olnnh 3|uhgment f 'OMMY and Sally were left I- all alone. Mother had gone 11 to Club meeting and prom- ir ised to be back before dark, but it was now almost ten and no mother. Tommy and Sally were crouched under the kitchen table clinging to each other even afraid to move or even breathe. All the lights were out and the rain was beating against the windows in mad torrents, the wind howled with an awful crack every second it seemed and the whole thing seemed to Sally and Tommy like a band of angry bears ready to devour them. A hard knocking sound at the window broke the silence. “Whath that?” lisped Tommy. “I don’t know,” whispered Sally. Knock! Knock! Knock! three times that hard ‘Knock’ sounded. Sally felt hot tears streaming down Tommy’s face as he clung closely to her. The house seemed to rock, while the rain made small puddles on the window sill. Everything reigned in silence in the room when suddenly that awful ‘Knock’ sounded and everything rocked even Tommy’s hair stood upright. Sally could hardly breathe and Tommy was making little black dots in Sally’s arm with her sharp finger nails. Sally pictured a big man with eyes like balls of fire and a big black beard looking straight at them, while Tommy pictured a big black bear with open jaws aiming at them. Smash! Whats that ? Could it be the big black bear or the man with eyes of fire jumping through the window? No, it was only the window pane that blew in. The rain was beating worse than ever, the lightning flashed harder than before, and the thunder made harder crashes and Tommy could feel cold water creeping down her neck. “Oh what shall we ever do?” weeped Sally. The dainty curtains were blowing to the ceiling, the rain beat through the open window on the tiny rugs. All reigned in darkness except for the flashes of lightning every few minutes that lighted the whole house. After a good long hour of fright the rain seemed to die down and the wind did not have such a spooky howl. Footsteps were approaching. “Where are my darlings ?” echoed a familiar voice in the hall. It was mother. The happy hearts scrambled to their aching feet and were soon in the loving arms of their long missed mother. Alice Arlene MacDonald, ’24. THE FLAMBEAU G9 Jinlu tl]c JW (Hot it's Sthtqn LONG the quiet and contented little brook grew many beautiful flowers. The honey of the flowers was very sweet and attracted many busy buzzing bees. One little Bee made a visit to the brook every day, to gather honey and talk to the little brook. The Bee was always boasting to the brook about the races he ran and of his many brilliant victories. The Bee noticed that the brook never flattered him when he spoke of his victories so he became bold and challenged the Brook to a race. The little Brook was so startled it could hardly speak but at last said, “I will do my best but I know that I cannot win if you have won so many other races.” “Flatterer” cried the Bee in a pleased voice. “When will we start?” ask the Brook. “Tomorrow at break of day. Our goal will be the old mill pond,” replied the Bee. At break of day the Bee and Brook were off. The Bee having to make such an early start became hungry and stopped at the beautiful flowers along the way to gather honey. The Bee soon became a-ware of the time he had lost gathering honey. Knowing the faithful little Brook would never tarry a-long the way he became alarmed. “I wish” cried the naughty little Bee------ “What do you wish” demanded a sharp voice. “I am the prince of Cheaters and will help you if you wish.” “Oh!” cried the happy, blundering Bee. “I wish something would happen to hinder the Brook, wining the race which we are running. I have wasted so much time to satisfy my hunger.” The Prince waved his wand and the faithful, and gentle little Brook felt sharp stones pushing themselves through her smooth bed. The little Brook flew fast and gained the victory. As he waited beside the old mill pond he wondered what happened when the Prince waved his wand. At last the tired little Brook reached the mill pond. The Bee looked at the sharp stones in the Brooks bed and laughed. He knew why they were there. “I congratulate you on your victory” said the Brook. “Thanks” replied the Bee. “Now you know that I was not boasting of my victories. The Bee turned to go home but to his surprise a small fairy blocked his way. “You have not paid for your unjust victory,” challenged the fairy. 1 am the Fairy of Justice and am here to see that you pay your dues.” Oh! do not punish him,” cried the Brook, he won fairly.” “You do not know all gentle Brook” replied the fairy kindly. “This Bee wished that the stones would pierce your bed. He did not know then that they made your song more beautiful and made little ripples that children love to watch. He only thought of the victory he might lose. Now he shall pay for it.” At these words the fairy waved her wand and immediately appeared on the Bee a stinger, small but sharp. “Now,” exclaimed the fairy, “every one will hate you, even the flowers and little children will run from you.” This is how the Bee got its Stinger. A. C. H„ ’25. 70 THE FLAMBEAU ID you ever hear or see a ghost? A real live one? One summer evening, I was walking along a lonely country road, when I heard a terrible moaning sound, like the cry of something in pain. At first I could not locate the direction from which it came. I walked on a few yards, and again the moaning caused me to stop. Near the road stood an old, rambling farmhouse, almost hidden by trees and bushes. Opposite the house on the other side of the road was an old barn. I stood between the two, and I could not tell whether the sound came from the house or the barn. Suddenly I heard another dreadful, hideous shriek, and I did not lose any time getting away from the place. After I reached home, I told some of my friends what I had heard and as they thought I was joking, I offered to go with them to investigate. While we were still in the distance we could hear a dim moaning, but we were ashamed to turn back. When we reached the place, we took our flashlights and looked all around the house and barn. But finding nothing, we decided to sit on the porch, and wait until we heard the noise again. We chattered quietly for a few minutes, and then that unearthly, frightful shriek seemed to come from under our very feet. It wTas repeated again and again. We then knew that it came from the barn. Crossing the road and opening the barn door we held our flashlights high and looked inside. What do you suppose we saw? If I should live to be a hundred years old, I shall never forget that poor old deserted horse dying from starvation. It was the worst sight I have ever seen. We went back to the city and reported the case to the “Humane Society” who immediately took care of the horse. Do you believe in ghosts? Neither do I. Guy Bertiaux, ’24. o- IWks ROM the ends of the world; friends meet each other. And by their language sweet speeches float through a rare medium, each tells the mesage nearest his heart. Who cares whether it be a thrilling tale, of some pirate bold; a rovers lust for gold; a soft sweet echo wafted down from ages past, a story of lives remolded made full and free. Or just a simple harmony. Book thoughts bring joy to many a sorrowing soul. Books bring content and comfort even to a life ill spent. And as their leaves unfold we read from their pages of a world made new. Because someone had courage to shut his soul into a book---- Vernon E. Dixon, ’25. THE FLAMBEAU 71 E X C H A 1 N G E HIS is the fourth annual edition of the “Flambeau.” It is now the close of our school year. No more will we hear nor be heard of until the coming term.

Fifteen candidates reported. A team was selected from this group which gave a good account of itself even if it did lose the majority of the games played. The team was about the lightest team in this section of the State. The boys were greatly outweighed by their opponents but they never ceased playing until the final whistle stopped the game. Most of the games were played away from home. This was on account of not having a floor at the High School. The schedule was one of the toughest ever played by a S. H. S. quintet. Such teams as Clarion Normal, Philipsburg and Weedville being played. Out of the fourteen games five were victorious and nine were defeats. The Schedule was:— S. H. S. 33— —Alumni—6 Home S. H. S. 26 —Falls Creek—37 Away S. H. S. 28 —Big Run—10 Away S. H. S. 23 —Clarion—33 Away S. H. S. 19 —Beechwoods—25 Away S. H. S. 17 —Brockway—20 Away S. H. S. 17 —Beechwoods—33 Home S. H. S. 11 —Johnsonburg—18 Away S. H. S. 26 —Brockway—14 Home S. H. S. 28 —Big Run—12 Home S. H. S. 16— —Falls Creek—17 Away S. H. S. 18 —Philipsburg—38 Away S. H. S. 34 —Sykes—16 Home S. H. S. 19 —Weedville—25 Away Five members of this years team will graduate. They are Lewis, Nupp, Heberling, Kessler and Rupert. ILsc 1LU Hurrah! Baseball season is here again. The boys can hardly wait until the field gets into playing condition. Sandy will have the same team this year that went undefeated for three years. The boys expect to continue their winning streak this year. A hard schedule is being prepared. The first game will probably be played on the twenty-fifth of April. David Rupert, ’23.

The team was under the most efficient coaching of Beatrice M. Fisher who deserves much credit for the post in which she played to give Sandy High a name. The team and officers selected were as follows, Manager Ethel Wilson was our strong center and showed great skill in out jumping her opponents. Captain Crystal Dodd played forward and was always on deck to put up the score with all her field goals. Marie Devine our other forward helped make the successful record with wonderful foul shooting. Mary Malasky our tall guard kept things booming with her strong guarding. Martha Devine our other strong guard was always on hand to complete our victories. Having Besse Whitmore and Mary Wengroski as substitutes they played their best to help the team win their honored name. The schedule is as follows: Jan. 15,—Home—Fourth Ward—Won—8—7. Jan. 25,—Home—Sykesville—Lost—4—3. Feb. 8,—Away—Sykesville—Lost—6—4. Feb. 27,—Away—Big Run—Won—12—2 Mar. 8,—Home—Big Run—Won—5—1. Mar. 15,—Home—Falls Creek School Marms—Won—7—6 Alice McDonald, ’24.

THE FLAMBEAU 79 j nttnr (Class Nates We Seniors have been very busy writing our essays and making time count. Let the other classes climb high and take a crack at it. V. O. L., the Senior Girls Club have had many delightful times during our Senior year. We hand our club down to the Seniors of next year, may they catch the spirit and keep up the good work. We were very much surprised when our Treasurer, Alice Heberling, became Mrs. Lawrence Sprague, Feb. 27 in Cumberland. “A mere baby only—17.” Monday Evening, March 5, the Senior Girls had a shower on Mrs. Sprague. She received many beautiful gifts, and all wished her luck in her married life. Born Yesterday. Married today, Divorced Tomorrow, Died next day. Emily Me. being kind gave Crystal a cookie from her lunch. Crystal—You cooked this cookie too long. Ozzie while sporting his girl out sled riding one nite hurt his knee. “Pooh-pooh,” sighed Ozzie. It wouldn’t be so bad but she was hurt too. Pronounce—Uwilbkladucum. Claire—I’m getting to old to mend my ways. Crystal—I’ll mend them for you. Gene looking at her 49 in Arithmetic. I’ll soon be Valedictorian. Claire Lewis in a tussel at the Election House. “And I landed him with a pop bottle.” Miss Fisher—Mildred, do you see England sticking out of Angleteere. Mr. Devine at a wee small hour in the morning peeped in through the parlor door. Say, young man, “light out.” Nupp—I immediately turned the light out. Mr. Attinger—How would you explain a problem like that on the board to a Seventh Grade Pupil. Vera W.—I would learn myself, first. Mildred—What is cahoots? Florence—I never heard of that word before either. Kathleen—Florence, if you and Flanders were going together, you would be in cahoots. 80 THE FLAMBEAU “Proposition.” It says, in Ben Hur that the Egyptian kissed the Greek under the awning. To prove:—That he kissed her on the lips. Proof:—Awning is a projection, nose is a projection. The nose is an awning. The lips are under the nose. He kissed her on the ilps. Vera W.—In helping make out the make ups, asked “If there were any B’s (bees) in our class. We had the pleasure of having Margaret Spigelmyer and John Spigel-myer, students in Susquehanna University, daughter and son of Professor Spigelmyer, visit our Senior Classes during their Easter Vacation. The Freshies are green, We all have seen. The Sophomores are slow, We all know. The Juniors in every way, Are getting worse day by day. The Seniors best of them all, They’ll miss us, when we don’t come back next fall. “Hobbies” Orville—I admire “Divine” creatures. Florence—I would like to see the “Flanders” field. Donald—Sweet is the song of “Alice.” Bessie—“Georgia” for me when I growf up. Robert—Oh, what a shame they gave you the name of “Mickey.” Mary—I like to read the “Bill Boards.” Harry—“Kellers” books are interesting. David—I’m going to “Maryland.” Ruth—I just love to “Buy.” Emily—I like to handle “Dividends.” Mvrl—“Ruth of Mine.” “Nora Some Other Time.” Edna—I love to watch a “Ray” of Sun. George—“Laurel” is my favorite flower. Ruby—A “Wood” Chuck in that tree. Paul—What is more pretty than an “Emerald.” Amelia—I admire “Taylors.” Claire L.—I’ll call her up, “Marie.” James—I wish my name was. “Josephine.” Vera W.—I like, “Lyle” hosiery. THE FLAMBEAU 81 Vera—I receive only, “Bills.” Claude—What a pretty, “Dolly” baby. Eva—I like, “Fredericks” Pianos. Mildred—I like, “Teddy” bears. Martha—“George,” for me when I grow up. Kathleen—What a torment is, Lester” DePester. Crystal—What a pretty name is. “Solomon.” Vera M. Waggett, ’23. Dear Seniors:— S. H. shall see our smiling faces no more. We studious, energetic pupils shall be missed by all, even though they don’t admit it. We are saying farewell to S. H. S. Our school days there, with our joy and glee have passed. Although, we start out in life with a new inspiration, we shall never forget our school days. We, may be parted from one another, but we shall not be forgotten. Vera M.

Even the Seniors were heard remarking about the good candy, so it surely must have been 0. K. In English the last semester we have been studying classics. “Lady of the Lake” and “Ivanhoe” were found to be the most interesting to us. Harold Cable who is one of our members is now seriously ill in the Maple Avenue Hospital. Arthur Hand and George Ashenfelter have also been among those who were absent quite a long time on account of illness. We all expected Adeline to have a bad cold on Mon. after the Whitcomb Riley Program on Fri. evening. You’d know the reason why if you had seen her acting the part of a four year old child. Lee Clark’s cry is still the same “Whose treat? I treated last time.” We all wondered why Ethel Winson was so sad for a few weeks but we discovered athat “Loyd” had been sick and that untangled the mystery. She went to cheer him quite a few times too. The reason for Guy B. being late so often is that he’s learning to use the powder puff and takes his lessons in the morning. Everyone wondered why Nell and Anne were late every morning. The reason: They both received an electric hair-curler for Xmas. A bright little lass of just a few years, Who wouldn’t think of shedding tears, But one bright, sunny day in June, Our little Kate set up a tune,— It was all in vain for mother said:— “Kate! Just get bobbed hair out of your head.” Sob! Sob! ! Sob! ! A Junior War Cry: Two in the “Moonlight”------Smack! Smack! Here’s to the Juniors of Sandy Hi Long may their colors ever fly.

We have chosen our class flowers “Blue Violets” and our class motto “Deeds not Words.” We are very proud of them and are doing all in our power to live up to our motto. We have had some misfortunes in retaining our officers. Our president Wilard Christ had to leave school because they were moving away. Our secretary Jack Harter resigned. The officers have been dutifully filled by August Miller as president and Avis Hetrick as secretary. We have held only one social but that is better than none. Miss Fisher—What seed is used by human beings for food more than any other? Neil W.— (absent mindedly)—Oats! Since the Sophomore class made their abode in the English Class room they are all learning to whistle. Of course Miss Hamilton is our teacher. The other day the boys had a debate whether Freshmen girls ought to go with Senior boys or not. But Gladys E. says they did not say anything about the Sophomore girls when Tuss Heberling is mentioned. Miss Free—How far did the tape go? Nora B.—It is still going. Mayme thinks the Freshmen boys are especially nice (Columbus S. is a Freshman.) Avis to Miss Free—If I open this skirt on the left side on the wrong side will it be on the right side on the other side? Fred Engell made a date with Adeline L. the other night but she stung him. Now we know why he looked so blue the next morning. Miss Bailey said that Vernon D. reads more books than anyone else in the Sophomore Class. Now we know why he never knows his History lesson. Dorothy R.—Miss Free, am I sewing this right? Miss Free—(absent mindedly)—Huh? Oh I beg your pardon. I wonder what she was thinking about? It’s no wonder Avis H. does not get her History lessons well lately. She is forever thinking of Paul F. one of those D. H. S. students. Prof. Spigelmver—Can you tell whether an apple is sweet or sour by looking at its blossem? Charles S.—No. But I can tell by tasting it. Freshmen—Who are you looking for ? Chuck S.—Nobody. Freshmen—Nora Bailey? Chuck—Yes. He has a good opinion of Nora hasn’t he. 86 THE FLAMBEAU Miss Bailey must be getting very poor or she is going to give a party and serve chewing gum for lunch. The other day she collected all the chewing gum in the Sophomore History Class and made the owner put it on a piece of paper after his name. Very particular whose gum she chews isn’t she? Miss Fisher—What time of the year are flys most abundant? Fred Engell—Dead ones in December and January: Live ones in July and August. Miss Bailey—Tell something about Cromwell’s “Ironsides.” August—He would allow them to neither eat, drink nor swear. I wonder how he expected them to live. Mable got her hair bobbed again. Gladys and Nora are sporting new ear-rings. Vernon D. says the earth moves from south to east. Dan Lewis says the equator runs through the center of the earth. But we don’t know whether to believe them or not. Do you ? Dorthey R.—I have no umbrella. What shall I do? Erma—Do without one. Miss Bailey will soon be having a rummage sale in her room. The other day she collected some pictures of favorite Movie Stars, knives, marbles, rings, vanity cases and a hundred other things from the Sophomores. She is always taking something from us. A great disaster happened in the Sophomore Class room. The large sliding blackboard fell down and wras broken in fifty pieces Dorthey R. said she counted them). We thought we would not have any English Class that day but Miss Hamilton made us use the other board. Chuck proved himself to be a perfect little gentleman. He swept up the dirt made by the broken black-board without being asked to do it. Who said he is afraid of work ? Fred must be going to start a second hand store. He is collecting all the rings, etc., he can get his hands on, and accidently-on-purpose forgets to give them back. Bright Sophomore—Oh ! I lost------- Junior—What? Let me help you find it. B. Sophomore—My balance and fell. Sophomore—Those people have retired---- Junior—When? I always thought they were anything but rich. Sophomore—their baby carriage. The Sophomore Class reporter for the “Flambeau” never tells fibs but usually puts a big frill around the truth. Please remember this when you think of what she has written hei'e. Well dear readers I am afraid this is the last time we will see you until next term when we are Juniors. Don’t you pity us when you think of the Exams we have to take before we become Juniors?
