ATTINGER Science Mathmatics Problems of Democracy Senior Advisor Professor Attinger is always ready to help in anything for the betterment of our school. He is especially interested in sports. He has the difficult task of advising the Seniors. His lessons will always stay with us for they are given in the way in which only he can give them. MARGARET J. HAMILTON English Sophomore Advisor Mark Twain Advisor Miss Hamilton is our highly esteemed English teacher. She has guided class after class over the difficult pages of text books and classics, finding for each thought some permanent place in the life of some pupil. It is with the deepest regret that the Senior Class must bid her farewell. THE FLAMBEAU HELEN G. BAILEY History Mathmatics Junior Advisor Librarian Four years in the service of Sandy High. That is Miss Bailey’s record. Yes. she has been helping Sandy “Highians” over the rough spots since ’20, ’21. She teaches in a way that leaves a deep impression on the lives of her pupils. Her willingness to help and her sympathetic nature have won her a place in the heart of every student. BEATRICE M. FISHER Mathmatics Science Freshman Advisor Strange flowers difficult problems, and brand new fre hies. are Miss Fisher’s specialties. She coaches basket ball and plays tennis too. Her classes are always interesting because she is always introducing something new. Her pupils will look back over the years and be glad to have been her friend. Page Number 5 ---------- f MERAB C. GAMBLE French Latin Whittier Advisor Miss Gamble came to us at the beginning of this term, to teach us the pros and cons of Latin and French. She coached the girls basketball team and in between times helps the pupils to put on a play. She is just the person from whom to seek advice on any subject. ANNA B. FREE Home Economic . Miss Free is always busy, but never too busy to say a word of encouragement or lend a helping hand. She is a wonderful instructor, as one may see by the work done by tho e who study under her. She has been with us four years. THE FLAMBEAU I'mro Number 6 (Cmmmutrnnrnt I wonder if we realize What Commencement really means; Is it the end of all our striving, And the end of all our dreams? Or is it the beginning of living, The Commencement of our Life? And must we carry Life’s burdens, Struggling against sorrow and strife? Yes, Commencement is just the beginning; So let us not hesitate now, Let us carry our banner “Excelsior” Till we stand on the mountain’s brow. And though we’re beset by temptations. Let us climb with unwavering heart; And. fixing our gaze on the shining star, Let us not from our pathway depart. And, oh. with what joy we shall listen When the victory at last we have won, When we bow at the feet of the Master, And hear His glad welcome.

Judges” chief enjoyment lies in teasing Bill A. He is very generous with his witticisms, and there is a mischievous twinkle in his brown eves. But behind all this there is a deeper and more serious nature. “Jlldge” is also a ;ood leader. We were very fortunate in having him as our President this year, as he has guided us through many difficulties. But. busy as he is, he still finds time to visit a certain residence on Forest Avenue quite frequently. “By George----------” Page Number 8 LAURA EVELYN ATWELL— Mickey” Quiet and faithful, yet jolly and mirthful” Vocational Course, ’21. ’22 ('lass Pessimist Academic Course, 23, ’24. Whittier Literary Society “Hoodoo” Love Pirates of Hawaii” V. (). I.. F. A. M. (Reporter) Evelyn never misses anything, which is the main reason for the specks. One day we thought she had gone to a Free land”, but I guess she thought Sandy was about as free as any place. When it comes to reciting, as she is first on the roll, Evelyn usually has the benefit of the first paragraph, and leaves it to Mickey” with her abundant supply of gray matter to answer it too. Evelyn is always in for a good time. While she is around one does not need to be afraid that melancholy will settle, because she will have a joke or something ready to liven up the gang. “Yuh big boob.” WILBUR AURAND— Eill” Mother calls me William, Father calls me Will. Sister calls me Willie, and the fellows call me Bill.” Athletic Association Whittier Literary Society Punkin Rollers Property Manager of Hoodoo” Vocational and Academic Course Bill conies strolling in about a half hour after nine o’clock, and is always deeply concerned about his studies, unless his mind is wandering in other deirctions. Bill is quite a iadies man, and is especially popular with the Freshman and Junior girls! He has always wanted to be a circus man. but now his aspirations have turned to that of a civil engineer. Bill always sees the bright side of life, and he has furnished much amusement for his school mates. Come on.

Vocational Course, ’21, ’22 Academic Course, '23, ’21 Whittier Literary Society Athletic Association V. (). L. Here’s Rufus, a loyal member of the Senior Class. She has been with us throughout the entire four years and has always proven faithful to her duties. Rufus is quiet, but when there’s a scheme or a prank to be pulled, there’s mischief in her eyes. She has a very pleasant personalty and never was known to have a disagreement with any of the kids. Ruth has prepared herself for the teaching profession. We’re sure she will be successful and that her pupils will be fond of her. “Oh! heavings.” EVELYN ARLENE BORING—“Tommy” “The best of Sports”. V. O. L. Mark Twain Literary Society Basket Ball, ’24 Athletic Association Vocational and Academic Courses During her first three years with us, “Tommy” was very reserved and backward; but during the last year she has won much fame and admiration by her skillful playing in basket ball. “Tommy” has a great love for all musical instruments, but especially “Reed” pipes and organs. She is also an active member of the V. O. L., always in for n good time, and does not leave a task undone, no matter how difficult it may be. “Tommy eccpects to be a school teacher, and we hope she teacher her children to “Reed.” “By George--------” GUY EDWARD BERTIAUX—“Birch” Birch is a guy who seldom talks (?)

B. team this term. We can remember Guy as a “green little Freshie” quite well, but now he comes forth in full bloom and has even been counted missing from home as late as 4:00 A. M., on several occasions. Guy’s being tardy as much as a half an hour is due to the shoe shining in the morning. You see he follows pretty muddy roads some nights. Hecks with it.” THE FLAMBEAU Pa � c Number 10 MARTIN STUART EOYER—“Biddie Martin, you sec is not made of lace, I or he is a boy who loves to race. Academic Course Athletic Association Baseball Mark Twain Literary Flambeau Staff. ”22 Biddie is one of these high steppers or rather high speeders, his chief delight being to break all speed limits. He also is noted for his mechanical ability, for he surely understands a car and would make a good salesman for Lizzies or Hudsons. If there are any clever little jokes floating around the class room, we may be sure that Biddie was the originator of them. He comes to school every day with a new line of excellent pieces. Please repeat the rear end of that again” CHARLOTTE CAR3AUGH— Pinkey” “Generally quiet, and not much to say.

If you should see her in the halls her arms loaded with books, yoj would agree that she is fond of study (?) Aside from her studies, she is a well known musician, playin'? in the orchestra all fou years. She is also fond of taking an afternoon vacation, quite often she and A1 are seen tripping to the Elks Theatre to spend an enjoyable afternoon.

Baseball Academic Course Athletic Association “The Hoodoo” Senior Play Mark Twain Literary Society Cable ,, one of the shortest and quietest boys of our class, hails from Main Street Extension. Whenever and wherever you see him you will find him absorbed in a book, but he is always too bashful to recite when called on. “Cable” has one hobby in which he excels. This is playing guard cleverly on our Basket Ball Team. . He sure gives his opponents a hot” time of it. We expect to hear from you in the future Cable. “I don’t know---------”.

The on'y thing in which he specializes is arguing with Miss Bailey. Friends with him are many, and he often says, “Oh, how I love the ladies, but can’t go back on the men. We don’t know what the future has in store for Le-I,and. but we are sure of his success. There is nothing he enjoys more than a party, especially when its time for lunch to be served. “Hey!

He and his pal. “Howdy” are usually managers of the business part of our plays, and entertainments. He is always on time at school and never misses a day. He and Howdy” have the job of passing out the song books each morning, as the students march to Chapel. Crow” is very studious and especially shines in Chemistry and Problems of Democracy “Come n Divy”. HOWARD ANTHONY DIVINS—“Howdy “Tn is tall lad hus just a few curls.

Howdy” lives with his father and sister on Wilson Avenue. He is the tallest lad in the Senior Class, and usually gets a seat in the back row (lucky boy), where the teacher can’t see him? ? We all know Howdy’s failure—he likes the girls, especially one who lives in Oklahoma. He is a shark in Chemistry and Geometry. If you need any help in Chemistry Lab. go to him. He will never fail you. He is quiet and studious and the teachers do not need to punish him very often. Hey!

S. in 11123 and chose Sandy as her next step. She always has her lessons perfect (?). It has been said that she intends to follow a profession, but the majority think that “When Knighthood was in Flour” would be more suitable. (Sam likes biscuits.” The one thing that has marred Mart’s happiness in 24 is that she has had to sit in the front of the room in P. D. and Chemistry and so has Mr. Attinger. Mart, thus being an easy one to call, envies those of the rear. Mart always wears a cheerful smile for everyone, and says “smile and the world smiles with you.” The world does smile with her too. (The masculine world at least.) “Oh! Bughouse fables.” MARIE JEAN DEVINE—“Ree This girl is Marie Devine, She’s always known to have a good time. Vocational Course, ’23 Academic Course, ’24.

We soon found tna. she likes dates, especially the parlor” dates. Marie being very studious (?) intends to take a course in Normal School.. We wonder if she is going to take up teaching or household accounting, and hope is she choose the latter, that she will be sure to make a family budget. Marie has been a first class forward on our girl Basket Ball Team. As Marie is peppy” you must know we had some snappy games. Marie is a girl who will not let anyone impose upon her.

Here’s Gris with the permanent wave. Who sees it believes it. Anna is a devout lover of nature, especially of the human nature. She must like candy even better than nature, because that is what she is continually begging. The kids can hardly keep her supplied with it. If you don’t know what that girl wants, leave that up to her. because she’ll mighty soon tell you. If you please she wants to earn a college degree some day. and vows and declares that she will, but the general opinion is that she will be private secretary to a ‘jude’. “Aw kids now quit.” THE FLAMBEAU Page Number 13 -------------f M.

He is a shark in Mathematics and P. D. He never fails to express his opinion about things, especially in English Class. His chief pastime is teasing the girls and trying to start an argument with them. He seems to favor the “Turks”, especially one that goes in the Freshman class. With his determination to “never give up , he’ll come through with colors flying. “Now, my dear child.” ALICE LOUISE GOCELLA—“Al” “As tall and stately as a queen.” Vocational and Academic Courses Whittier Literary V. O. L. Athletic Association Al hails from the popular city of Falls Creek. She says running for the car every morning” accounts for her lankness. AI is an all-round good sport, and very clever at school, when the faculty is not around. She loves to tease Charlotte C., but raves when the girls tease her about a certain “country gentleman.” AI has missed much school this winter, but has managed to keep up with the rest of the class.

His chief subject for discussion is, My Violin”. He is one of our excellent violinists. Lee loves to tell good jokes, but the worst part about it is, that no one sees the joke except himself. I eolin says he has a girl and her name is--------, well guess if you can. He says she is the nicest in seven states.

He generally comes in about fifteen minutes after the bell rings, his only reasonable excuse is important business on Wilson Avenue. He has been a real leader ever since he entered High, which can be seen by his record above, When the day comes that Art is absent from school, something is wrong in the Senior room. Oh Cosh.

Her hobby seems to be translating Cicero, which she can do perfectly. She is very quiet and modest, but Still Waters run Deepest”. She makes an excellent Literary Edition with her properties of good judgment, sound criticism and good taste for literature. She expects to be a teacher until she takes up the profession of a “Baker”. If you want to “get her goat”, ask her if she likes doughnuts “Gee Whiz!” Page Number 15 ------- -----+ J.

When we first entered High School, we were impressed by Jake’s bright locks, but we soon forgot this when he began to show us what he knew. He is one of the brightest members of our class. Jake’s favorite hobby is to try new experiments in Laboratory when the teacher i: n’t around. Well, Jake”, if we don’t hear of you as President of the U. S. in a few years we’ll be disappointed.

He uses a lot of hair grume and gets furious when someone accidently-on-purpose musses his hair. Phil has much ability when it comes to drawing, and playing a banjo. If some fine music you chance to hear on Main St. Extension, or Wilson Ave., you can be sure its Phil picking on the old banjo. Although, we believe he can give a more harmonious tune while on Wilson Ave. Can you guess why? “You big ham.” ADELINE JEAN LINDAHL—“Ad” Golden hair and eyes of blue, Has this fair maid so good ami true.

Honor Student Ad is a girl who measures up to the old saying that “good goods are done up in small packages.” She has become quite popular of late, and has secured numerous “beaux” for herself. This has been due. partly to her ability to skate and partly to her clever smile. Ad has ability to do much. As she has been blessed with naturul curls she can perform various duties more efficiently, because she doesn't need to worry about the curls coming out. “Holy Kanyme.

She is one of the most studious girls in our class, and seldom fails to recite. Mary is an expert mathematician, often sacrificing her time and pleasure to help some of her less brilliant classmates. She is the possessor of much dignity and will power, and no one can persuade her to disobey the dictates of her conscience. But, in spite of her studies, Mary is always ready for a good time, and is one of the best sports imaginable.

We were delighted when her health was restored to her and she to us. There certainly would have been a vacancy in the Senior Class if she could not have graduated this year. She has a remarkable talent in literature, especially for writing stories and composing poetry. Some day we will hear the praise of the world given to her. “Well., I’ll be Jiggered”.

Why we were so green that when some of us were on the lawn you couldn’t tell there was anything there. Never-the-less the true characteristic of the ones behind that green covering soon shone forth and the upper classmen saw that we were not as green as we looked. In spite of the green, we began our work with the right spirit. On Friday, September 17th, 1920, a class meeting was held for the purpose of selecting officers, They were as follows: President - - - Arthur Hand Vice-President - - Leland Clarke Secretary - - Alice McDonald Treasurer - - - Nell Gent We were now contented to settle down for the time being. However, we soon grew restless, and on Monday September 27th, 1920, another class meeting was held. At this meeting we chose Maroon and Grey as our class colors, the Ophelia Rose as our class flower and “Excelsior” as our class motto. Soon after this Arthur Hand, our Class President, resigned and we selected Leland Clark as our President.. In January, 1921, Florence Kopp was admitted to the class. Formerly she had been a pupil of high standing in the Luthersburg High School. We left school early in June, well satisfied with our first years work. SOPHOMORE YEAR Early in September we assembled again in the halls of Sandy High Schocl. The members of the class had now earned the title of Sophomores. We missed some of the familiar faces and welcomed a number of newcomers to our class. We also welcomed Mr. Stauffer, Mr. McNeale, Mr. Zeck and Miss Woodward to our teaching force. Two weeks passed, and on September 12th, 1921, Leland Clark called a class meeting. New officers were to be elected and from the nominees, the following were elected: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Arthur Hand John Crowe Ethel Wilson Nell Gent On November 1st, 1920, we were transferred from the Wilson Building to the new High School Building which offered us many more advantages. A month later the thoughts of Hallowe,en filled the air. On October 11th, the Sophomores met to decide on a masquerade party. It was decided that a THE FLAMBEAU Page Number 23 --------------j. masquerade party would be given in the school auditorium, in honor of the Seniors. An enjoyable evening was spent in dancing, games and fortune telling. Time passed slowly until the Christmas vaeati. on. We returned to school bright and happy, only to be saddened two weeks later by the death of Florence Kopp, our classmate. Time passed on without any more special events until we showed our appreciation for the caste which gave the play for the Athletic Association, “What Happened to Jones”. We entertained them royally. This closed our Sophomore activities. Our great ambition now was to become Juniors, which was settled favorably by our final exams. school at a Halowe’en party. This party was a great success and helped to develop the spirit of good fellowship among the students. In November, Prof. Spigelmeyer, gave the Juniors permission to give a class play. The “Hoodoo” was selected and when given by the capable cast, which was chosen, was a decided success. The rest of the year passed without any more eventful happenings until the final exams were given. Soon after this the Juniors entertained the Seniors with a reception held at the Acorn rooms. Here a pleasant time was enjoyed by all. Then we left school to return as Seniors. JUNIOR YEAR On September 6th, 1922, we entered Sandy High once again, with our heads held high. We were Juniors. The dewy freshness and softness had worn off, and we were now beginning to grow a hard shell. This was the beginning of a very successful year for us. We found considerable change in the executive force, with Professor Spigelmeyer as supervising principal, Mr. Attinger as assistant principal, and Miss Fisher as Biology teacher. On September 11, 1922, the Junior Class held a class meeting for the purpose of electing officers. The following officers were chosen: President - - Leland Clark Vice President - George Ashenfelter Secretary - - - Ethel Wilson Treasurer - - - Nell Gent On Halowe’en the Junior Class entertained the SENIOR YEAR Oh! how we longed to acquire the plane of a Senior in S.

They are: President Vice President Secretary Treasurer George Ashenfelter Leolin Hayes Ethel Wilson Anna Griesemer In October we decided to have a Christmas number of the Flambeau. A class meeting was called and a Flambeau Staff was elected. Our greatest achievement is the Senior Number of the Flambeau.

ETHEL WILSON, ’24. Page Number 26 THE FLAMBEAU A Semor Goes Crystal Gazins Spring had just bursted into its sweet young beauty. The flowers were peeping from among the protective green folage of the leaves, the trees were putting on their new spring attire of gorgeous, luxurious verdure, the grass was fresh and green, the birds were calling to one another and pouring forth sweet tuneful melodys, while the clear blue sky was over all. I had just stepped out to enjoy this fresh enticing atmosphere of spring when two figures became apparent to my eyes. You should have seen them. They looked as if they had stepped from some far away land. They were dressed in gay figured prints, which enhanced their swarthy complexions. On their arms were many wide bracelets, while various colored beads in long ropes were about their necks, and long brass ear rings dangled from their ears. As they came nearer 1 noticed that they had their arms full of beautifully made baskets in various shapes and sizes. They came slowly up the walk, laid their wares on the porch, then one of the Gypsies, for so they were, said in broken english: “Mum, you buy basket. See this one nice. You buy?” When I told her I would have no use for any baskets, she looked discouraged, turned and dragged herself a few steps, then she stopped, turned and said lightly: “You go with us. Pay money. Get fortune told She stood there waiting with her companion. While they waited the wanderlust of Spring enveloped me. I assented eagerly. I followed these strange people until we had left the houses far behind. We were now travelling along open fields. As the sun grew bright and hot 1 became warm and tired. The spirit of wanderlust began to grow cold. I wish I had not come. Just then I noticed a small group of tents in the distance. As the Gypsies began to increase their pace, I became so excited that I ran on ahead. In a few minutes I reached the outskirts of the Gypsy camp. Men, dressed in gay attire were seen sitting on the ground bargaining with visitors about the horses, which stood on the outskirts of the camp. The women, also dressed in strange attire, went about performing various tasks, in a crude manner. Children, with their long, straight hair, their flashy black eyes, and their dark complexions were playing and shouting in all parts of the camp. I was so absorbed in the various scene; that I forgot about the Gypsies which came with me until one came up to me, touched me on the arm, and said: “This way. Get fortune told.” I followed her obediently. She threw back the flaps of a large tent. Immediately I stood entranced in a dimly lighted tent, which was draped in a rich THE FLAMBEAU Page Number 27 --------------4. � ■ -.................................—--------—— - red material, while curiously woven rugs covered the ground. . As I became accustomed to the darkness I could see a small, low, lace covered table at one end of the tent, before which a figure sat on a large, red cushion. As I approached this queer, mysterious figure, she moved her hands slowly, and gracefully over the table. Immediately the odor of a sweet smelling incense filled the air. There was another wavelike motion of the hands, then a voice came that sounded strangely loud and far away. “Come nearer. Cross my hands with silver. I will reveal the mysterious future.” I walked up to her, dropped a piece of silver in the outstretched hand and sat down on a cushion opposite the mysterious fortune teller. Immediately the Gypsy put a large glass crystal before me. Over this she waved her hands, muttering queer words all the time. As I gazed into this crystal intently the dim outlines of a rural seen could be seen, which grew clearer until I could see a narrow, dusty country road winding through fields and woods. A large dusty limeousine was drawn up at the roadside, which appeared to be deserted. Suddenly something appeared from under the car. First came the head, then gradually a dusty man came from under the car. The man got up and opened the limeousine door. Then a huge, bulky woman emerged to stand beside the chauffer while they both gazed helplessly about for aid. When the chauffer turned I was shocked to see the face of “R. E. P.” Postlewaite, a former classmate and automobile fan. Just then a man came strolling slowly down the road with a large knap- sack strapped to his shoulders. This knapsack had the words, COAST TO COAST, painted on its surface. Here was John Wall, a former class mate, renoun for disliking work. He stopped, conversed with “Rep”, then they walked over to the limeousine and began to repair it. Soon the huge bulky woman climed in, “Rep” and John took their places, then there was a whirl of dust and the crystal became clear. Again the crystal before me held a rural scene, which was a broad, open field near a cool, green wood. There people could be seen deeply interested in something being taken from the ground. One a tall man whom I saw was Howard Divins, the famous Biologist, was taking up a spade full of earth, taking out some large, red bugs and putting them in a specimen case. He absent mindedly put some of the specimens in his large black silk hat near by. Immediately a sweet, little woman whom I recognized to be Alta Naugle, his wife, grabbed the hat and shook the specimens out violently. Another man had taken three red bugs, laid them on a glass slab and poured a liquid over them. Immediately to my amazement the bugs turned blue. Surely this was the renowned chemist, John Crowe. There were low, muttered words from the fortune teller and the scene changed. I could now see the large stage of a theatre, magnificent in all its showy splendor. A fairy dancer dressed in a cloud of silvery chiffon, danced (it seemed to me) as if on air, to the melodious strains of a violin, accompanied by the soul stirring notes of a piano. Suddenly the music ceased and as the shower of applause grew into a roar, the three performers came forward to answer the curtain call. I saw the dancer was Nell Gent, the violinist Charlotte Car- P« c Number 28 +------------- THE FLAMBEAU baugh, and the pianist Ethel Wilson. The curtain fell and the scene vanished while I sat in amazement thinking of the future of my three class mates.. Again a new scene appeared in the crystal. It was a large, sunny school room, containing a class of high school girls and boys, to whom the tall, commanding teacher was illustrating a complicated Algebra problem. When she turned around I was shocked! the teacher was “Kate Pifer, the shining mathamatic star of my class. At a few muttered words from the fortune teller I was gazing into another sunny class room, where a short, little teacher was attempting to sooth the crys of a curly-headed little tot. When the teacher glanced around, who was she but Wilda Kiel. The fortune teller waved her hands gracefully over the crystal in which a scene formed. It was a large gymnasium where a large, girl class was performing complicated exercises at the command of my golden-haired classmate, Martha DeVine. Just as she was about to begin a new drill the crystal became filled with a hazy grey smoke. Gradually the dim outline of a large hall, which grew clearer and clearer, shaped itself in the haze. Soon I saw this was a large hall where an orchestra concert was being given under the leadership of the great violinist, Leolin Hayes. Another violinist in th,e orchestra attracted my attention. Who do you suppose he was? I’ll tell you, he was Jake Jones. These were both members of the Senior Class. I was so amazed I forgot all about the crystal gazing until the fortune teller whispered: “Look at crystal”. Again I was gazing into the crystal, where a large, double house could be seen. As the two name plates bore the names Mr. Thomas Reed and Mr. John Harris, I was not much suprised when the two doors opened and Evelyn Boring and Clara Williams came out, walked to the middle of the porch to stand there in earnest conversation. Suddenly clouds of smoke rushed from the door bearing the Reed name, and as Mrs. Reed rushed into the house followed by Mrs. Harris the smoke clouded the crystal and the view disappeared. Soon the crystal cleared and held a view of a large manufacturing district, where great factories could be seen everywhere. One of them soon attracted my attention, because the sign covering the entire front of the factory, which was done in black and white, read: SEVEN COME ELEVEN DICE HOME Owner LELAND CLARK Soon another factory sign which was very unique, attracted my attention. It was in the shape of a huge tin can and read: ARTHUR HAND CO. HOME OF TIN CANS The crystal gradually grew clear, but a view of Long Avenue soon formed. Two people, wheeling a baby carriage, soon attracted my attention. As I gazed at them closely I was surprised to find they were Anna Griesemer and George Ashenfelter, my classmates. As they went slowly down Long Avenue they stopped at a hot dog stand, as they stood the proprietor, Wilbur Aurand, came from the interior They exchanged a few words then Wilbur went THE FLAMBEAU P-K Number 29 back into his stand from which he soon reappeared, ready to accompany the Ashenfelters home, so I inferred he boarded there. Gradually a large, palatially furnished office room could be seen in the crystal. Over the desk could be seen the words, Secretary of the United States Treasury; while at the desk sat Charlotte Peterson, who had been a very efficient “Flambeau Treasurer”, reading a letter whose print seemed to stand out so clearly I could not help reading it. Kongo, Africa, Mar. 10, 1928. Dear Charlotte, I am enjoying my missionary work among the heathens of the Kongo very much. We have had remarkable success with our work here. I expect to be home soon for a years furlough and expect to come and see you. Your friend, OLGA PEARSON. Olga Pearson, a missionary! I sat there thinking of Olga in far away Africa until the fortune teller called my attention to the view in the crystal. What do you think I saw? The United States Senate Chamber, where George Gifford was talking convincingly and forcefully about the passage of the Soldiers Bonus Bill. The scene changed very quickly to another large office room, where, I saw by the inscription on the door,was the president's office of the Mercy Hospital. As the door gradually disappeared, I saw that my former school mate, Mary Malasky sat at the desk. So this was the future of the most conscientious and efficient member of the class. Another room of this Institution soon appeared in the crystal. Here I found Evelyn Atwell, Adeline Lindahl and Jennie Keller, attempting to make the patients as comfortable as possible. Just then the scene vanished.. But an entirely different scene appeared, immediately in the crystal. It was the stage of a large theatre. Here the great tragedy “Macbeth” was being given, with Dorothy McCausland, our star elocutionist, playing the role of Lady Macbeth admirably and Alice MacDonald, playing splendidly the role of Lady Macduff. Again another view appeared in the crystal. It was the view of a large rolling plain. Slowly a tractor appeared in the distance, as it came nearer I recognized the driver to be Guy Bertiaux. Soon the tractor disappeared from sight and the scene vanished. Yet another view of a farm appeared, but as it was the view of a truck farm it was much different in character. Here could be seen what I thought to be, two men rapidly picking red luscious strawberries. As I gazed more closely at the pickers I saw to my amazement they were Ruth Bundy and Alice Go-cella, as I gazed into the crystal it became clear again. Soon an entirely different view formed in the crystal. This view was the interior of a large grocery store where Martin Boyer, with additional avoirdupois, was dispensing groceries over the counter, assisted by Harold Cable, who was as short as ever. Just as a new customer entered the store, banging the screen door, the scene vanished while a much different scene appeared in the crystal. Page Number 30 THE FLAMBEAU At first the scene was very dim, but it gradually grew more and more distinct, until the outlines of a beautiful Southern landscape with its tropical pal ns and bright colored flowers could be seen. In the midst of a large group of palm trees nestled a Spanish bungalow, with a rustic arch bearing the words. The Perilla—Kereseno Studio, over the small entrance porch. As I stared in amazement, a group of people appeared on the velvety, green lawn. Soon two people detached themselves from the group and began a graceful dance, while the camera man “shot” the scene quickly. As I gazed closely at the dancers I saw Marie DeVine was Sarsa Perilla, while Philip Kranitz was Philo Keroseno. Just then the fortune teller waved her hands over the crystal, which became clear again. Then she spoke. “No more fortune. Go now.” So I stumbled out into the old every-day world again, amazed at the future of mv class mates— Yet with my future still locked in the hands of destiny. Hazel May Huller, ’24. clas: 5 POEM Sandy High will always be famed, As it has been in days of yore; But there never will be another class As fine as old ’24. There is one thing Guy Bertiaux can’t resist, And that is a good love story; When he is with Miss Peterson, He sure is in his glory. Our President helps to make this so; His name is George Ashenfelter, And when he comes into the room, Everything goes helter-skelter. Evelyn Boring is fond of “dates”, And sure gets all she needs; She says she’s going to Japan to live In a little wee house made of Reeds. Evelyn Atwell is the clown of the class, Her middle name is “Laughter”; And if there are any eats around, She never lets them go past her. If you want to have a jolly good time, Just call on Martin Boyer; And if you have any questions to solve, We’ll recommend him as a lawyer. Wilbur Aurand is our “ladies man”, His delight is vamping Freshmen; And he’s always trying to give advice To some of the under classmen. Ruth Bundy is a quiet little girl, Who sews a very neat stitch; She seems to favor all the boys, But especially one named “Rich”. THE FLAMBEAU Page Number 31 Harold Cable is a short little lad, Who hails from Main Extension, But we’re quite sure that in a few years He’ll make a great invention. Our golden haired Anna Griesemer Is a genius at making fudge; And when there are any court trials She greatly favors the “Judge.” Charlotte Carbaugh is so quiet and shy That sometimes we don’t know she’s with us, But if her violin you should hear her play, You’d surely know she’s a genius. Nelle Gent is so clever and full of pep, That sometimes we call her the “Jester”; When she and Lee Clark get in a debate She calls him Lester de Pester. The shortest boy in all the class Is our bashful Leland Clark, He always does as his mother says, And never stays out after dark.? ? George Gifford is a human talking machine, It’s impossible for him to keep quiet; And if there are any girls around, He always starts a riot. We have with us a Chemistry shark, Whose name is John W. Crowe; And if you ask a question There’s nothing he doesn’t know. A young lady comes from Falls Creek each day, Whose name is Alice Gocella; And this we have heard, that once in a while, She goes with a cute little fellow. Martha Devine is as sweet a girl As ever you could find; She’ll be an old maid school ma’rm Unless Sam changes her mind. “Happy-go-lucky” is a name, That applies to Arthur Hand; If he keeps playing on his saxaphone, He’ll soon be in Sousa’s Band. Now her sister Marie is our basket ball star, She does nothing against her will; She’s very fond of candy and dates, And we hope she gets her fill, (Phil) Our Orchestra leader is Leolin Hayes, He resembles Edward the Confessor; But you just wait—in a few more years He’ll be a college Professor. Howard Divins has curly brown hair, And sits in the very last row; And though it may seem strange to you, He loves to sing “Alto.” Hazel Huller is bashful and shy, And quiet as a Quaker ; But from all appearances, it seems to me, That she’d make a very fine “Baker”. Page Number 32 the flambeau From West Liberty hails a sweet little lass, Who comes to Sandy High; She is no other than Wilda Kiel, Whose motto is “do or die.” Jennie Keller is short and sweet She lives near Mountain Run; She is a friend so faithful and true, And is always ready for fun. Philip Kranitz, the “Sheik” of Sandy High, Is always annoying the teachers; He admires the ladies, but best of all, He likes the “Devine” creatures. Adeline Lindahl’s golden curls Are the envy of all the class; And the weapons that she uses most Are a comb and a looking-glass. Alice McDonald is our “movie star”; She dearly loves to act. When she is playing on the stage She shows both cleverness and tact. Who’s always ready to help us out When there’s something we can’t do? That’s Mary Malasky; and a truer friend Can’t be found the whole world through. Now Dorothy McCausland is a little girl Who says she will never grow old; If Elocution she decides to pursue, She’ll be worth her weight in gold. We like to have Alta Naugle around, When the days are dull and cloudy; She’s playing pranks from morn till night, And her favorite by-word is “Howdy.” Charlotte Peterson, who’s full of fun Is a walking dictionary; She delights in making Olga laugh, And is never a bit contrary. We have in our class a shy young maid, Whose motto is “Love Thy Neighbor.” That s Olga Pearson, who will surely gain fame By her hard work and labor. The musical genuis of our class Is Eve Katharine Pifer; She’s bright as the sun, and has never been known To get from her teacher a cypher. Earl Postlethwait, better known as “Rep.” Is always chewing gum; His chief delight is teasing girls, And he’s always making things hum. Clara Williams was surely a wise little girl When she chose the Vocational Course; But she’d better be careful what she cooks, Or Jack will get a divorce. John Wall is the most studious boy, That you will ever find; He’s in love with all the Freshmen girls Especially the “Florence” kind. The author of this, as you may well guess Will surely be proud evermore; That she was a member of the dear old class Of Nineteen Twenty-four. Ethel_Mae-W41son.

With bleeding hearts, tear stained eyes to say nothing of the quivering lips, we seal this our Will with a kiss, and send our dust to the high winds. This comes to pass the 29th day of May, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nineteen hundred and twenty-four. As executor of this our Will, we appoint the President of the Class of ’25.

THE FLAMBEAU Pnge Number 35 THE PESSIMIST Sandy High cn the top of the hill, To go there, has been against my will; No difference what I’d do or say I've been forced to go there day after day. Walk up that steep old muddy hill, Of rain and snow I ve had my fill; I carried my umbrella when it didn’t rain That’s enough to give a saint a pain. When you enter the reporting room, You can well prepare for your coming doom; If you stop to gaze around You hear the greeting, ‘please sit down’, Just when you re busy with your work Quickly the bell rings with a jerk. Then to the next class we must go, There we are told how little we know. We just sit and look at the floor, Hoping and praying they’ll say no more. Finally that period has passed, And to the Study Hall we go at last. It is a large room that is generally cold, The floor is greasy, and the seats are old. Some of the window blinds are faded and torn, The black-boards are dusty and the erasers are worn. The walls that used to be so clean and white. Are now so dirty they are an awful sight. The pictures we have are but a few, And the best of them have disappeared too. The reference room is not much good The pupils don’t use it when they could. The door has been locked for days and nights That has been the extent of a Senior’s rights. We have no library to speak of Our books are few and mean, And many of the pages are everything but clean. The teachers walk around to see what we,re doing, If it don’t suit them they begin their chewing. But after we have studied, and looked about, We soon forget we’ve had a balling out. Then when we have saved enough to see a good show, We are told of the debts we owe. Whether we pay, or whether we refuse, Our conscience says, ‘pay your dues.’ But my sad old school days now are gone, And brighter days are about to dawn. So here is to the teachers, school board, and all, Sandy High wants a larger auditorium and a gymnasium this fall.

There vvas a total of twelve schools scattered in various parts of the district. The buildings were all one room frame structures. Some are still in use, including Brooks and Cross Roads. The most important schools of that period were Liberty, Brooks, Hetrick, Sabula and the Wilson, which was on the same plot where the present building now stands. No hign qualifications were required from the teach- ing force and the proudest boast of many scholars was that they could work the questions the teachers couldn’t get. The first school added was one at Clear Run, built in 1885. This school was opened to relieve the crowded condition at the Hetrick. It soon won a leading place. As the industries were developed, new schools were built to take care of the increased population. This was done at Oklahoma, Shaffer, Liberty and Edgemont.. From about 1895 the district began erecting THE FLAMBEAU P� � c Number 40 brick buildings. This plan has been followed with very few exceptions since that time. The plan has had much to do with giving Sandy the best lot of school buildings in Clearfield County. After the present Wilson building was erected, the desire for a high school became an issue. It was started with fifteen pupils, and a two year course with one teacher in charge. In 1910 this was changed to a three year course. In 1913 another teacher was added to the teaching force. Since that time the growth of the High School has been remarkable for a Township District. Today, Sandy Township has a first class high school. It is situated on a high hill, where one can get the good fresh air, in about the central part of Sandy Township. It is built of beautiful red brick. The building is equipped with all modern conveniences. Sandy Hi School offers a four vear course, which can be chosen from either the Vocational or Academic. We have a very fine Home Economics Department in our High School. Sewing, Cooking, Art, Nursing and Home Planning are the important subjects taught. The Board of Education has given four nicely equipped rooms for this department. Several new subjects were added to the Academic Course. The important ones are Biology, French and Chemistry. We also have a very fine and well equipped laboratory in the basement. The very best teachers, that can be employed, constitute the faculty. We have at present six members on the faculty, which very wisely and efficiently conduct the affairs of our school life. Last year, a library was started under the supervision of Miss Bailey. Several students, which are now Alumnae, donated books. A few volumes were purchased including, The Stoddard Lectures, Histories and Fiction. A movement is now on foot to secure more books for our library. At present in the Grade Schools, the teachers receive a salary averaging at $85 per month. The teachers must have certain qualifications to teach. There are at present about seventeen grade schools including Wilson, Oklahoma, Shaffer, Brooks, Gil-nette, Sabula, Osborne, Wayne, West Liberty, Shaft No. Two, Cross Roads, Adrian, Falls Creek, Clear Run, Pine Grove, Brown and Edgemont schools. Altho the schools in Sandy Township have greatly increased, there is much room for improvement in the future. A still better system and better conditions could be found in the rural schools. And the High School—many improvements can be made. In a short time, we expect to have another course, which will make business men and women of our students. The Commercial Course is much needed and will be a great addition to our School. The new Gymnasium will just revolutionize our school. Many more students will be able to participate in the Athletic Activities, when this much needed addition is made. Both the boys and girls will have much better basket ball teams and then—Sandy will keep that loving cup forever. The increasing number of students will necessitate a larger auditorium for Assembly. Then the students will be able to give plays and entertainments, they are capable of giving, and the size of the stage need not be considered.. We as students of Sandy High School appreciate the privileges, which we have today given to us by our parents and the taxpayers. We hope they will continue to support the Board of Education in their plans to make our school still better in the future. M. J. M„ ’24. THE FLAMBEAU Page Number 41 OUR MOTTO “The heights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight But they, while their companion slept, Were toiling upward in the night.” —Longfellow. When we were first given the distinguished name of Freshmen, and first entered the portals of High School, how our hearts thumped, and how we looked forward into that dim expanse of time called the Future, and wondered what it had in store for us! And oh, how impatiently we waited for that wonderful time called Graduation, when we should receive our much longed for Diplomas! Then, we thought, all our work and trouble would be over. But, as Graduation gradually approached, we began to realize our mistake. We had become older and wiser by this time, and now looked upon Life in a different light. How small and insignificant our Diplomas seemed now! But, had we really been working and toiling those four long years for this small bit of paper? No. We were being prepared for our Mission in Life. And, Class of '24, let us not fall below that Mission. Let us, as Emerson said, “Hitch our wagon to a star”, and put forth the best that is in us for the fullfillment of that Mission. But above all, Seniors, let us not forget our motto, “Excelsior,” but be ever guided by it. May we climb “Ever upward,” till we stand victorious on the top of the mountain, where Success waits to welcome us. Then, but not until then, will we have fulfilled our Mission. Associate Editor—E. Wilson, ’24. “THE FLAMBEAU” Four years ago, the Senior Class of nineteen hundred and twenty, very humbly and timidly undertook the publication of a High School paper, at the advice and suggestion of Miss Hamilton. The students were very hesitant and doubtful about publishing it. Their first attempt was a decided success, and all expenses were paid in two days. The paper was given the name of “The Flambeau”, symbolical of a flaming torch. The succeeding classes have efficiently followed the good example of the class of nineteen hundred and twenty. This year the publication of “The Flambeau” was made a class affair. We have striven earnestly to keep up the high standards for which it has been noted. We hope our efforts have not been in vain. Now, we respectfully submit this duty and honor to the incoming Seniors of nineteen hundred and twenty five. May they, too, strive to make it a still better paper, and may the Alumnae not lose the vital interest that has made it a success. M. J. M., ’24. Rape Number 42 +•—----------- THE FLAMBEAU Literary Department “COMMENCEMENT” Jt was a beautiful, warm day in June. The birds warbled their lyrics of love to the wide world. The rose bushes were full of half-open rose-buds. All nature was at its best and everything seemed full of life and happiness. From an open window of an old-fashioned, vine covered cottage, a young girl, Mliss Addison, looked out upon this scene. In her sweet, blue eyes was a serious, far-away look.. Tonight was Commencement. Tonight she would leave the dear old High School, forever. Many happy days had she spent in the old, brick school house,—days of work and pleasure. It seemed but a little while since she started in as a Freshman. How time flies! Her life work was planned,—yes, she was going to labor in the harvest fields as a Missionary. She was leaving all, Mother, home and friends. Her Maker had called her and she had answered the call As these thoughts came surging into her mind, a tear fell upon her cheek, but hastily wiping it away she turned to greet her mother, a sweet, refined lady of perhaps forty years. Never had her home life seemed so dear as now, when she was about to leave it.. But she put these thoughts aside as she and her mother prepared to go to the Commencement exercises. The little, old church was packed to the limit. Everybody talked to their next neighbor and there was a ceaseless buzz of many voices. But suddenly the old pipe organ broke out into a slow, solemn march and a hush as of death fell upon the audience. Marching solemnly down the aisle came the graduating Seniors in their somber caps and gowns. Mrs. Addison’s heart thrilled as she saw her daughter leading the procession and taking the seat of honor as Valedictorian. When all were seated the orations began. Seven inspiring messages were delivered by the finest orators of the class. Last and best of all came the oration of the Valedictorian, Mliss had chosen for her subject, “Service to Our Fellowmen.” It was delivered in a way that none could help but feel it’s impression upon them. The speaker was forceful and with a purpose behind her words. With cheeks aflame and eyes aglow, she tried to make her audience see that service was a duty for every one. Woe, unto those who shirked that duty, but Oh—the joy and bliss, after a life spent in service to hear these words, THE „ .. —---- -------------- ................ - ■■ ■■ “Well done, good and faithful servant; Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” When Mliss sat down a great applause fell from the audience. They realized that this girl, who had grown up among them, she, who was always so sweet and humble, was a wonderful speaker. Then came the giving and receiving of the well earned diplomas. All the relatives and friends came crowding round to congratulate the graduates. When all was over and Mliss was free at last she went to her mother who stood waiting for her with happy, shining eyes. The walk home through the beautiful starlit night was a quiet one. Each was busy with her own thoughts. Mliss was thinking of how, in the days to come she would put into practice her oration Service to Our Fellowmen”, and of God’s wonderful promise to all who consecrate their lives to service. Jennie Keller, ’24. THE MYSTERIOUS CAVE orma Louise Alden was the only daughter of the millionaire Jack Alden (the banker), although surrounded by wealth and luxury, Norma was not a spoiled child. She was an optimist, always cheerful and gay. She was a great lover of nature. Norma was a beautiful young girl. Her large tender, wistful brown eyes so pitiful, could almost melt a heart of stone. Although at times when in a passion flashes of fire could be seen smoldering there. She was very tall for her age. Her tall graceful form; her dainty feet and hands; her rosebud FLAMBEAU Page Number 43 lips parted slightly revealing two rows of pearl, white teeth; her abundants of auburn curls falling in a mass of ringlets over her shapely shoulders was a picture an artist would love to paint. The Aldens were one of the most prominent families in the city of York. They lived in a spacious, low, rambling brick bungalow, which was furnished beautifully. It was surrounded by a large lawn, with a dainty flower garden in the rear. On an old, rustic seat, under a large elm tree was Norma. She was lying with her face down-wards crying softly. Her silk embroidered handkerchief was drenched. “Darn it, anyway”, she sobbed, “I don’t see why I can’t go with the other girls tomorrow night.” She was a Senior at Y. H. S., and her classmates were having a moonlight picnic. Her father, who had always yielded to her wishes, had for the first time in her life, forbidden her to go. They were having the picnic in a little pine grove about five miles from their homes. They were going to hike up, but a truck would come up later to bring them home. Near this grove was a cave. It was a very mysterious place, and no one knew anything about it. There were many rumors spread over the country that it was inhabited by cruel, cave men. There had been several people missing, and it was said that they were captured by these men and in many different cruel ways were tortured to death. It was believed that these men still lived, and because of this Norma was not allowed to go to the picnic. The night of the picnic arrived. Everything was in readyness. It was a glorious night for such an occasion. In the little grove the moonlight glimmered through the leaves of the trees forming golden lat- THE FLAMBEAU A WINTER TRAGEDY Pa � e Number 44 tice work on the long, green, soft velvety grass beneath. From behind a large tree trunk came a young girl. It was Norma. She had decided that she would go to the picnic, but not with her father’s consent. She had run away. She did not think of the terrible thing she had done until she arrived at the grove and found that her friends were not there. She grew frightened. But, surely they would come soon. She decided to wait. As she sat on a large rock enjoying her beautiful surroundings, she heard the sounds of approaching foot steps. Some one was coming. What should she do. Before she could run or hide there loomed up before her a large hairy man, who resembled very much a gorilla. He was very strong and powerful and his several followers looked very much like him. When Norma saw this she shrank back, covering her face with her hands. She tried to scream but couldn’t. She grew cold and rigid. The leader picked her up and carried her to that dreadful cave. What should she do. How should she get away. But, this was impossible, she was helpless. In the cave she could not see a thing. Before her was nothing but a mass of inky blackness. She took a step forward, and, what had she done? she was falling, falling, falling; would she never reach the ground. She awoke with a start to find that she had fallen from the old rustic seat, in her little garden. She was sitting on the ground beside it. Her handkerchief which was drenched when she fell asleep was now wrinkled and very dry. After this funny dream she now resolved that she would obey her father. Her ideal thoughts of the glorious picnic had fled. Jt was a cold winter day; a storm raged outside. Gray clouds hovered threateningly in the sky. The thermoneter read below zero, and the chill wind cut to the bone. Window panes were coated with frost and the ground was covered with a thin blanket of snow. It seemed impossible for human beings to exist in weather like this. The man shivered; his clothing was not sufficient to exclude the cold, and his body felt numb. He was in a reclining position and soon he sank into a deathlike stuper; perhaps he had only gone to sleep, but it seemed more like death. And still the storm raged. It was merciless toward mortals. It caught all who resisted in its icy grip and froze the life out of them. This man was no exception. It seemed as if another of natures tragedies were about to be enacted, when the man, with a convulsive effort, roused himself from his stupor: slowly he rose from his arm-chair, then he went down into the cellar and fixed the furnace. Jake Jones, ’24. THE PLAN THAT DIDN’T WORK Qne dark, dreary, rainy evening a sweet little girl of about five, was watching anxiously out of a small window of a little house along a much travelled road. Little Janette was watching for “papa”, who had gone away to fight for Washington. They had not heard from him for many months. That was the reason Janette was watching the road so anxiously. Also they had heard that Washington THE FLAMBEAU Page Number 45 The men stayed at the house all night. Very early the next morning, long before the sparkling dew-drops were gone, she arose and securely locked their door. Then she awakened sleepy little Janet and took her to a neighbor to leave her there for the day. She then started on her long weary way to the quiet little valley where Washington’s forceswere encamped. As she had to go on foot, the bright sun was high in the heavens when she finally reached the little camp. was encamped in a little valley about ten miles from their home, so Janette thought maybe he would come home to see them. As she watched she saw the dark outline of four horsemen loom up out of the fast falling mist.. Mamma, Mamma, shrieked Janette, Here are four Red Coats. The woman calmed the frightened child, then went to meet the British men, who had rudly walked into the house. Mrs. Allison, a woman of about forty, very pleasantly asked the party to take a seat. But there was not a gentleman among them to arouse any respect for this trim, neat, pleasant looking little woman, so one insolently commanded her to get some food, “And be quick about it old woman, and stay here all night, get!” She obeyed his command because there was nothing else to do. She brought all the food available that she could get in a short time, because she had sent much of her winters supply to Washington at Valley Forge, the winter before. She received no thanks for the food, just stony silence as they bolted down the food. At 8:30 that night the British men demanded that Mrs. Allison take them to a room and lock the door. Then she was given specific orders to go to bed and stay there until they called her. She was forced to do what they told her, but---not all. She locked their door, then went to her own bedroom and undressed. Mrs. Allison wishing to know the plans of the enemy, tip-toed quietly down the hall in her stocking feet and listened at the key-hole, until they arose to leave. She then quickly and quietly slipped into bed. The men began to call on her and pound on the door. After they had pounded for some time she arose and sleepily answered them. When they came out she pretended she had just been awakened, and acted very sleepy. The General and several of his trustworthy men rode quickly to the Allison home and made the men their prisoners. The sleepy heads were not even a-wake when the General arrived. The rest of the army marched to where the British were and captured every one. Thanks to Airs. Allison’s ingenuity. Mrs. Allison had walked very rapidly and was very much wearied, so she decided to rest at the camp for a time. She fell asleep at the camp and was awakened by the tramp of returning soldiers. As she stood watching the happy faces of the soldiers as they marched by she gave a little startled cry and rushed into the midst of the crowd, for there was Mr. Allison, who had been a British prisoner for some time. The Allison home was very happy that night with Mr. and Mrs. Allison seated around the open fire and Janette on her fathers knee listening to tales of a British prisoner. Helen Smith, ’27 THE HILL OF DIFFICULTY John Bunyon was a great worldly painter. He gave to the world the greatest moral picture gallery found in Literature, outside of the Bible. In THE FLAMBEAU his “Pilgrim’s Progress”, he paints for us the picture of a Christian, with a preat load on his back, trying to climb the hill to Difficulty. The Pilgrim does not hesitate, or turn back, or grumble about the load, but undustriously and cheerfully presses onward and upward. As he approaches the House Beautiful, at a very narrow part of the road, he suddenly sees two lions in the way, one at each side, croaching as if to spring upon him, if he advances. He hesitates as if afraid to go forward, and just at the critical moment, hears the encouraging call of the porter in the House Beautiful: “Fear not, the lions are chained”. In this nicture of human life, drawn with such truth and clearness by the immortal thinker, there are three important lessons for us. First, every life has its hills, its loads, its hard problems. It is burdened with trials, tribulations, discouragements, dangers and difficulties as represented by the lions, the load and the hill. Longfellow expresses this thot in his lines: “Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary.” Thus this load is personal and individual as it is universal; no man can escape it. The second lesson is not elss important. The House Beautiful typifies the rest that is the recom-pence, and reward of him that overcometh difficulties. Rest and reward naturally follow, rather than precede, struggle and effort. The third lesson in Bunyon s great picture is equally important. The encouraging call that ,‘the lions are chained,” coming to Christian at the critical moment, when fear assailed him, indicates the value of the word of sympathy and encouragement that every burdened soul needs, and no true porter in this world so beautiful will withhold. Life is sometimes spoken of as a voyage, but there is not a sea without storms. It is sometimes called a battle, but there is not a battle in which there is no danger of defeat. Every view of life reveals its song and its sunshine, its beauty, its rewards, but it also reveals its trials, its tribulations, its dangers, its defeats, its obstacles, and its difficulties. No period of life is free from difficulties, but youth is the special time of preparation for struggles that are sure to come. In youth we strive to develop the strength of body, the discipline of mind, and the decision of character that will enable us to successfully fight every battle and overcome every difficulty. Most difficulties can be overcome; most hills can be climbed. The problems in your algebra lessons are difficult, of course they are, if they are worth anything— but they are not impossible of solution. Great souls are developed by the stress and the strain of conflict. Struggle against ignorance makes the great scholar, struggle against the current makes the great swimmer, and an effort to solve the great problems of state makes the great statesman. Heat tempers steel, the grindstone sharpens the axe, discipline makes an army efficient, rough seas make good sailors, and the storms of winter give strength to the oak. So he who struggles valiantly to overcome the difficulties of life, is not only likely to succeed, but his success will in a large measure be due to the strength that comes from patient and persis- THE FLAMBEAU Page Number 47 tent effort. The difficulties of life have been wisely placed in our pathway in order that we may develop the strength needed for our work. Men should not seek the easy problems of life which are now able to solve; rather should they seek the difficult problems that will test and develop strength; for life’ greatest soldiers are trained on the firing line and not in its hospitals. Extract by Samuel Hamilton, Supt. of Schools of Allegheny County, Pa. WRITING A COMPOSITION The class comes filing into the English Room all smiling and happy. Miss English teacher wishes to make an announcement before beginning class. The pupils hold their breath. She proceeds. A composition of five hundred words must be in before the end of the month, or your mark will be below passing. Then teacher goes on with class. Sighs are heard from the girls; groans from the boys; and a despairing smile can be seen on the faces of “the smart pupils.” Then all is forgotten until the twenty-ninth day of the month. The school library is crowded with pupils bending over books, that the janitor has to move with a crow-bar. Parties are put aside and even the worst boys forget to rumple the girls pretty marcelled hair. After leaving the library the pupils flock to the candy kitchen, forgetting in their hunger the dreadful composition. In comes three joy-killers, but goodness knows they didn’t mean to be. “Oh, folks, have you finished that dreadful composition” ? Spoons rattled on the marble topped tables, Excuses and pardons are asked of one another, till at last peace reigns in the Candy Kitchen once more. Nine o’clock lights are burning brightly, eleven o’clock they are brightly burning, one o’clock they are still burning. One five, at last they are out. Next morning as the pupils file into class, some are walking in their sleep, the girls look as if at last they had given their dressing tables a rest. The boys look as if the drug store had run out of combs. But the Dreadful Composition was clutched tightly in each hand. A. C. H. THE IDEAL HOME LIFE 'I'he first question that arises, in considering ideal home is this: “What is it?” Ideal home life consists of three things. First, love for each member. We must have love to succeed in a home. If we do not love each member of the home, we can never hope to succeed. THE FLAMBEAU P« � e Number 48 Second; help for each one. We must help the weak ones in order to gain their confidence. If love is present, we will gladly help each. Third; we must have comradeship. We must be a loving, helpful, comrade. The other members will not hesitate then, to tell us their troubles and cares. Well then, how are we going to bring all this about? The first step will be unity. We must unite as a family should, and work together. Next we must enjoy our home enough to stay in it once in a while. An English woman once said of the American home: “The Americans have fine homes, everything that money can buy. But they are seldom at home, always at a theatre, banquet, ball, automobile driving or somewhere”. Shall we allow a foreigner from some other country to tell us, that we have no home life? No! We must build up our homes. If we stay in at night, we must have something to amuse us. We must have good friends, good books, music and games, that will make a home attractive. Last, what influence will an ideal home life have upon our future lives? We will know, in later years, what our parents, brothers and sisters meant to us. We will then be glad to think we enjoyed, obeyed, loved and helped the different members of the home. We will also know what a good home really was. All these things taken together, make up an ideal home life. We will understand and appreciate them more when we go out in the world. They will influence us a great deal in business, as well as in the home. Florence Waggett, Class of ’27 THE + ,---—---------- - - Poet’s THE BROOK Over the meadow, circling the hill Cheerily winds the murmuring brook; Taking a course wherever it will, With never a backward look. And although it flows unwittingly Its course leads always at last to the sea. But not with us, we stop and look, Back to those days to which we can never return, Not like that busy and murmuring brook. But with those by-gone days our sympathies burn. We make our courses wherever we be, Although they may never lead to the sea. Jake Jones ’24 WINTER SPORTS Music of the steel on ice, Bobsleds flying swift and nice, Snow balls flying through the air Aimed at you, but you,re not there. Children screaming loud with glee, Happy and singing merrily. Building castles in the snow, Busy folks with cheeks aglow. Stella Rhodes, ’25 A M B E A U Page Number 49 ----------- ■� Corner TO OUR TEACHERS Then here’s to our English teacher, Miss Hamilton is her name, She teaches us all learning features, So we will all be classed in the hall of fame. Here’s to our Algebra teacher, Miss Fisher I guess she is, The Freshmen are all very eager, That nothing they may miss. I almost forgot our Civics teacher, Miss Bailey so fair and yearning, But it is very hard to reach her Lofty ideas of learning. Of course Mr. Attinger comes Among the very best, He really is the best one Of all the rest. Yes there is Miss Gamble, She is our Latin Teacher, We don’t let our thoughts ramble, Because she can tell by our features. Florence Waggett, ’27. Page Number 50 THE FLAMBEAU A NIGHT IN MAY Softly fades the fleeting day In the golden west, Quietly comes the silent night When all in peace May rest, The little flowers look up from the grass, Fresh in the starry night, To welcome the little birds As they wait for the coming of light. Then gently to the darkened woi Id, Tell tidings of the coming day, And all the world is fair to us, In the month of May. Evelyn Atwell, ’24. HIS DREAM He was sleeping bv the river, Dreaming of his Childhood days, Over him the sun was shining, And the air was filled with misty ha .e. He dreamed he was back in school, Sitting in the very front row, At her desk the teacher stood, Her face as white as snow. The pupils seemed so frightened, The very floor seemed to shake, The windows rattled every way But not a noise did those pupils make.. They hardly dared to draw a breath, For fear they should be heard, The building was so crowded, that the air was even warm, It could be plainly seen, there was a thunder-storm. Evelyn Atwell, '24. SURPRISED The cabin was near an Ancient wood, Where many a beautiful tree had stood, And wild flowers of every hue, In that mysterious valley grew. It was here at the close of one hot day, A group of children began their play, But not a one remained to boast, For the valley was haunted by a ghost. Evelyn Atwell, ’24. PADDLE YOUR OWN CANOE Paddle your own canoe, Do what others can’t do, Make yourself a name, One very full of fame. Work and fight for success, Climb the ladders of happiness; Make the others stop and look, When they see the road you took. Be kind and helpful to all the rest, And help them also to build their nest, Make others proud when they mention your name, Saying “He helped me to my fame.” Do not be of the dependent race, Having others work to feed your face, Just paddle your own canoe. Mayme Minns, '25. THE MUSINGS There is something about the twilight, That makes me feel so lonesome and sad; As I sit alone in the fast coming night, While in thought and sorrow I’m clad. It is iust the end of another day, As many others must end; It is just the parting of the way, As twilight and darkness blend. I think of the mysteries of the world, As I idly dream of the day; And wonder how they’ll be unfurled, When the earth has passed away. The world seems so vast and big to me, And I dream of the coming time; When I shall be as happy and free, As the birds at the twilight time. Margaret Smith, ’25. THE SPRING The Spring—she is a blessed thing; She is the mother of the flowers; She is the mate of birds and bees; The partner of their revelries; Our star of hope through wintry hours. The many children, when they see, Her coming, by the budding thorn, They leap upon the cottage floor; They shout beside the cottage door, And run to meet the night and morn. AMBEAU Page Number 51 They are soonest with her in the woods, Peeping, the withered leaves among, To find the earliest fragant thing. That dares from the cold earth to spring, Or catches the earliest wild birds song. The little brooks run on in the light, As if they had a chase of mirth; The skies are blue, the earth is balm; The very hearts have caught the charm; That sheds a beauty over earth. Let us breathe the fresh and balmy air; The bird is building in the tree, The flowers have opened to the bee; And health and love and peace are there. SUCCESS The way to success is to work, Do you do it? Do you sit down and shirk, You will rue it. Do others go climbing by, While you tarry? There's no use to frown or to sigh, You must hurry. Success you will reach at the top, If your daring; A word of cheer you may drop, To others despairing. Margaret Smith, ’25. THE FLAMBEAU Pa c Number 52 There was never a school like Sandy High, For school notes, jokes and stories; And may their Flambeau never die; But keep increasing year by year. Everybody got through the mid-term exams alright, but some had a pretty hard pull. How about it, kids? Anyway, we’re glad they’re over, but—just wait—finals are coming soon. Then,—be sure that which is in the book is in your head. The literary societies have given some fine programs during the last few weeks.

Mrs. Carlson, a musician of wonderful ability and talent, rendered a few piano selections. While Mr. Carlson, also an excellent musician, favored the students with some vocal selections. Rev. Habel delivered a short speech which was very much enjoyed. On account of illness, Evangelist Neighbor could not be with us. Mr. Allen, of Rochester, N. Y., a representative of the Curtis Publishing Company, of Philadelphia, visited the students of Sandy High School on April fourth. He gave an interesting talk on“Salesman-ship”, which proved to be very helpful to the students. THE FLAMBEAU Page Number 54 Sandy certainly was humming on March 13th, when the Athletic Association, under the direction of Miss Hamilton, presented The Arrival of Kitty”, a farce in three acts. It was a scream from beginning to end. Those who took the different parts deserve much credit for their fine acting. Miss Hamilton, also deserves much credit for the excellent manner in which the play was coached. County Superintendent Trostle visited Sandy High on April 9th. OLGA PEARSON, ’24 JENNIE KELLER, ’24 SENIOR SERIOUSNESS Well, here we are again. We aim to make this number of the “Flambeau” as much of a success as our former numbers. Steinberg to Phil K.—“Kranitz, if you have a face, turn it around.” Miss Ida S. Bentz, of Clarion State Normal, recently gave the Seniors an interesting talk on the Profession of Teaching. A few days later Mr. W. N. Drum, of Central State Normal School, gave a talk on the same subject. Martha Stanton got busy this leap year and surprised us all by marrying Grant Archibald, of this city. Olga Pearson—“I can’t think in my head”. Common sight in the Senior room:— Nell hunting for cooties in her comb, after George G. has used it. John Wall with his feet on somebodyelse.s chair. Bill Aurand and George Ashenfelter scrapping. Alta Naugle and Howard Divins exchanging notes. Ethel Wilson trying to write poetry. Anna Griesemer with her mouth full of candy. Leolin Hayes telling about a fishing trip..

George—(Blushing)—W-Well, I was just wish-in the teacher would stay away. Al. Macdonald—Is the “Ancient Mariner” a ship? Rep.—Don’t you read the footnotes on the side of the page? Which is that class so full of pep, Who with all good things keep in step; And in these things keep up their “rep” ? The Seniors. Who are copied by every other class, Who never trample on the grass; Whose temper is as smooth as glass? The Seniors. Who make up most all the school, Who observe the golden rule. And who never play the fool? The Seniors. Jake Jones, ’24. LEST WE FORGET. As I sat alone when my days work was done, I dreamed of my school mate’s one by one. Now if you will listen, I will tell you this dream, As it all came in a wonderful scene. First was Evelyn Atwell a bright little lass, We are glad she belongs to the Senior class. Next is Wilbur Aurand, a chemistry shark?? FLAMBEAU P.fC Number 55 —---------—r Of course we all know he goes to Narrows Creek park. George Ashenfelter, who is wise and gay, In the summer helps his father make hay. Ruth Bundy is a girl with dark curly hair, She hails from the mountain and really don’t care. Boring is one of our basketball stars, And always goes home in one of Tom’s cars??. Guy Berteaux, I guess you’ve heard of him, Sure don’t think fighting is a sin. Martin Boyer is quite a good pal, But he is forever teasing his gal. Charlotte Carbaugh, a bobbed haired girl. From the little red school at Gelnette does hail. Harold Cable, the shortest of all, Never does cry when he tumbles or falls. Leland Clark in P. D. does shine?? That s why he goes to the desert to pine. John Crowe is bashful and shy, He lives on Atlantic Avenue that is why. Howard Divins is a quaint little lad, When he is arguing, he never gets mad. Martha Devine is a fair haired girl, Who does not need a permanent curl. Marie her sister is very wise?? You ought to see her make those eyes. Anne Griesemer as yon all know, Never in her life did she have a beau?? George Gifford with freckles of tan, Whose chief delight is teasing Ann. Little Nell Gent who likes to fight, Never has tried to fly a kite. Page Number 56 THE FLAMBEAU Alice Gocella is bashful and shy, Nobody can tell the reason why.

Hazel Huller, the smartest of our class, Let's Baker come to see her at last. Jake Jones as you all know, Lights up the school when we have a show.

Philip Kranitz the shiek of the town, For Marie’s place he is bound. Adeline Lindahl with light curly hair, Never puts pins on the teachers’s chair. Alice McDonald the vamp of them all, Thinks she will go to “Steven's Hall.” Mary Malasky is tall and slim, And really don’t care anything for him. Dorothy McC’ausland a girl you should know, Has never in her life attended a show. Charlotte Peterson a bright little girl, Has eyes of blue and a golden curl. Olga Pearson a teacher will be, If you don’t believe it wait and see. Next is “little” Kate Pifer, Who has never made a cipher. Earl Postlehwaite the pest of them all, Is always talking in the study hall. Next is Clara Williams with jet black hair, Who hails from the Heights and really dont care. John Wall who is quite tall, Never does loaf in the study hall?? Ethel Wilson, the poet of fame, She can’t write enough, what a shame. The author of this an old maid will be, If you don’t believe it, wait and see. Alta Naugle, '24. V. O. L. TOPICS The V. 0. L. surely started the year out right by holding one of the snappiest initiations that anyone in for adventure could wish for. The first of the grand events was the weiner roast which we held out over the hills. Everybody being in the best of spirits, a jolly time of course was enjoyed by all. The saddest part of the thing was the breaking up. Well of course we had a kid party, for although we had grown to be dignified seniors we were not so very much past the “kid” stage after all. You, yourself would have thought we were only a bunch of kids, if you would have seen us getting into the theatre for half fare. The “Kid and Theatre Party” wras not the last time we were to disguise as children, and go out and fool the world. We had several kid affairs after that which we wish we could do all over again. The one at Wilson’s was especially enjoyed. What club would be satisfied unless they had put A: C, A Av m m rT- - • £ ‘ ' y 1 MXjf: - : r , A-OX X%Jrfe + .

THE V. O. L. CLUB Page Number 58 � ■■■■ —------- THE a “spook” party into the past? At least we weren’t but we were satisfied with the witches and spooks at Wilda Kiel’s party. That’s once more we had a hilarious time. Our pins will be arriving shortly and our fondest hope is that everyone will like them as well as we expect to ourselves. A time will come, shortly before the last of the year, when the Juniors, please don’t mention it to them, will find themselves worse off than they were before the initiation. The officers: President, Ethel Wilson, Vice-President, Kate Pifer; Secretary, Alta Naugle and Treasurer, Anne Griesmer, have proven competent, and hope that the succeeding officers will do as well. The crowning event of our activities was the party held in honor of Evelyn Boring’s eighteenth birthday, April 29th, A remembrance of the club was presented to her and a delightful lunch was served. This was a kid party, as we can’t get over the idea of being kids. Here’s hoping the ever increasing members remain true to the name. Katharine Pifer, ’24. JUNIOR JINGLES Hello! Dear Reader, we are back here again, to greet you. But when we greet you again we will be dignified Seniors. We are sorry to lose Gladys Em-erick, one of our classmates, who has gone to Washington, D. C., to train for a nurse. We wish her FLAMBEAU every success and happiness in the choice of her career. The Juniors are giving their Junior play, “Excuse Me”, a corned}' in two acts. The Cast: Robert Stetson—Jack Harter. John Harding—Charles Slattery Aloysius Darlymple—Daniel Lewis Pinkerton Bean—Julian Hayes. Elaine Stetson Harding—Nora Bailey Narcessa O’Keen—Eliza Kemp Martha Winthrop—Catherine Ellis Alice Lindsey—Dorothy Roberts Dora Atherton—Mary Minns Kate—Margaret Smith Our coach is Miss Gamble. It is to her that we owe much of the success of our play. Heard in the Junior Class Room Chuck—Dan with the girls again. Catherine E—Cut it out.. Judy—Oh! Miss Bailey. Mary G.—Josey Elva—Don’t. Neil—Where’s my knife. Catherine S—Oh! Sugar. Juniors—Hurrah for Miss Bailey. Stell Rhodes and Anthony Talasky—Two of a kind.

Dan—Hey kids! where's my hoe? (Ivanhoe). The “Cradle Robbers”—Chuck S. and Art Anderson. Etha—Hey, Melva! Melva—Huh! (chewing her gum) Etha—Only cows chew cud. Melva wondered why the girls laughed. Mable says she ran away only once. The Juniors are wondering with whom. Can You Imagine Chuck with a girl his age? Dot with black hair? Stoney being skinny? Mary Walton noisy? Florence quiet? Peg Smith not likening Chuck ? Elva married? Jack getting to school on time? Fred tall and fat? Nora cross-eyed? We can’t. Jack and Judy went to the carnival Wednesday afternoon. We wonder why? ? Freddie had better stay away from the D. H. S. Freshmen girls when there is a Social, if its going to make him an hour late every morning. Avis—I’m going to get a shingle bob. Dan—Yes, and when you get home your mother will shingle you. A M B e a u + 8:30 A. M. Juniors—Gee! Mary, how did you get here so early? Avis—Art S. brought her to school. Loud Cheers. Miss Bailey—What did the Progressive Party stand for? Chuck—They didn’t stand for anything. They were sitting down. Cath. S.—I wish I could join the carnival. Junior—Why not! you could be the ballet-dancer. Bronze is not gold, but Peggy Minns thinks HE is. The Juniors were teasing Dot about Vernon as usual. Dot—If you don’t stop teasing me, I’ll dye my hair black and murder Vernon. Mary—I wonder why Elva wore her pink waist this morning? Mayme—Oh! all insects (meaning boys) are attracted by light colors. Avis—I wonder why nearly all boys part their hair in the middle? Mayme—They are all water-heads and do it to keep their equilibrium. Mary G.—What can we put in between the acts? Mable—Dan will fill it up. The Juniors wanted to know why Mary W. is always so quiet at noon hour. She said her mother had taught her never to interrupt people while talking. THE Dorothy R. almost lost her-------. Well never mind, ask her about it. Dan, who is taking the part of a SILLY Botanist in the play asked: How shall I act? One of the cast—Natural. The next time you see one of the Junior Class ask them about the huge joke on Dan. Its great. Miss Bailey—Jack you shouldn’t call Mr. Alton Parker by his first name. Jack—Oh, that’s all right, we went to school together. Cath. S.—The first one who speaks is a monkey. Brief silence for thirty seconds. Cath.—Why don’t someone say something? Margaret S. became ill over too many kisses. Now, don't get excited, they were only candy kisses. Name Elva Florence Catherine E. Mayme Daniel Margaret S. Mary W. Called Skinny Josey Cath.

FLAMBEAU Page Number 61 SOPHOMORE SOFTNESS Here’s to the Sophomores of Sandy Hi! Their colors green and white shall ever fly, With the white rose as their flower true, They’ll gain honor, fame and glory too. “Do thy duty, come what may,” It’s the best class motto of the day. And I know that in the coming years, Class of '26 will have few fears. President—Smiley Griesmer Vice-President—Lileth Best Secretary—Bessie Griffith Treasurer—Melva Leach Reporter—Rachel Mark We are sorry to have lost the following members of our class, Pricilla Row, Helen Fye, Mary Gilnet, and Evelyn Griffith, and we think they have made a great mistake. The Sophomores surely did shine in the Operetta “Love Pirates of Hawii”. Allen Mark—Pirate Chief. Smiley Griesmer—Pirate Rachel Mark—Lillionel, Rich Hawiian Hawiian Girls:— Annette Dessy, Lileth Best, Edith Miller, Bessie Griffith, Bernice Askey, Margarete Atwell. “What would they have done without us?” Miss Fisher—James, how can we prevent small pox?

Walter Morgan to Miss Gamble—I never work when I eat. Miss Gamble—You must be eating all the time. Don—Lauretta won’t you give me a kiss? Lauretta—Sorry but it is “Lent” now. Don—May I have it when you get it back? Columbus Sperie—1 am sorry I didn,t go to that bargain sale, I understand some very lovely things went for a song. Bessie Griffith—Yes, but do you think your notes would have been high enough. We are minus one blonde in the Sophomore Class. Mary Simpson said blondes were a “mess” and dyed her hair black. Guess that's a hint for the rest of us blondes. Miss Fisher—Columbus, what products do we get from the Elephant? Columbus Sperie—Buttons from the bones. Isabelle Divins—Gee, do Elephants have boner? Miss Bailey—Douler, turn around. Smiley Griesemer—All “Dollars” are round. Allen Mark—A man’s a fool to marry. Martha Funk—Why add the “To Marry”. The only girl that will keep a date with Walter Morgan is Miss Fisher. I wonder if Bill Killila will send any more April fool notes in Miss Bailey’s room. How about it. Bill?? Annette’s will power is the strongest when she feels like crying. She wouldn’t for the world cry and spoil her pretty face. Common Expressions. Dolly Best—Gee, I hope Jimmie comes home for Easter. Edith Miller—Hey Kids, what are you going to get for Easter? Sylvia Hoover—Casting all your cares on him. (Wonder who she means). Lauretta Fauls—I was fit to be tied. Mary Simpson—Let’s get a ticket for up stairs and then go down. Smiley Griesmer—This is “Spring” and I can’t work. John Cunningham—Why I wasn’t doing a thing. Margaret Atwell—Hey, Bessie lend me your compact. Melva Leach—Hey, Smiley, I have something to tell you. All the birds and the bees, All the flowers and trees. Are singing “this is the day” That we must go away. But without the class of ’24, We’ll come back once more, As Juniors right in the fight, We’ll get the score. The Class of ’26, Will be the best on the list, With colors true, We’ll ere come smiling through. Rachel Mark, ’26. Pape Number 64 +------------- THE FLAMBEAU FRESHMAN FRESHNESS The higher classes think we’re green, But we’re a lot wiser than we seem; Some of the girls get the Seniors attention, But their names I dare not mention. So after all we’re a jolly good bunch, The other classes had better take the hunch, And here’s to the Freshmen of Sandy Hi, Long may their colors ever fly. The Freshmen Class is the best of the crowd, They’re not too quiet or they’re not too loud; They represent learning from Sandy High; All other classes take notice as they pass by. We have all sorts of things in our class; A Crook, a Kitchen, but no cut glass; A Badger, a Wall, and a pretty little Turk, Dear me, but the teachers surely make them all work We also have a Doktor brave, Who is funny enough to scare a bear from its cave. A Rose we have, and a bit of Cole, A Barker and a Burns are also on the Roll. The Freshman Class met in the Study Hall, October 14, 1923, for the purpose of electing officers. The following officers were elected: President—James Mark Vice-President—Cecil Walborn Secretary—Helen Howard Treasurer—Florence Waggett On October 16th, we held our first Class meeting. The class dues were fixed at eighty cents per term. The meeting was then adjourned. At the next meeting in the early part of November, our class colors were chosen for the coming year, and some matters of importance discussed. Our last meeting was held April 19, 1924, for the purpose of talking over the Flambeau requirements. The meeting was then adjourned. (Soph, at lawyer’s office) Lawyer—What can I do for you in line of advice? Soph—May I marry your daughter? Lawyer—No, your advice will cost you ten dollars.. Lost—A fountain pen by a lady one half full of ink. Laugh and the world laughs with you—Snore and you sleep alone. Mr. Attinger (in Science Class)to James—What is the composition of the air? James—Who do you expect to know that? Mr. A.—What did you say? James---------- Mr. A.—I didn’t think I heard anyone speak. Newlywed (just after being married a week)— Isn’t it a shame! Mother just sent me some wonderful furniture polish and I have mislaid it. Her Husband—(tasting soup suspiciously)— Are you sure you did? Garage Man—How much do you want? Driver—A gallon.

That’s Leolin, our leader. Who sits reclining in his chair, With jolly face, and well combed hair; While from his horn, Notes newly born, Go rumbling and tumbling into air? That’s Chuck, our Saxaphonist. Who at practice sits quietly in the first row, And skip over places they do not know; While on the strings The melody rings, Under the magic touch of the fiddle bow? Earl and Jake, our First Violinists, Who like twin cherubs take their places, With angel expressions on their faces; While up on high The wee notes fly; As they quickly speed over bars and spaces? Eddie and Orrie, our Second Violinists. Who sits in front and bangs the keys, And when she’s through, at idle ease, One hand goes “bind! the other bang”. While she hits the g’s and d’s and c’s? That’s Ethel, our pianist. Page Number 68 ------------- THE FLAMBEAU DRAMATICS Considering the handicap of a small stage, auditorium, and amateur performers this has been a very successful year in dramatics for Sandy Hi. The following plays went over the top: “Love Pirates of Hiwaii” Cast Dorothy Dear, daughter of a rich plantation Owner—Alice MacDonald. Billy Woods, Lieutenant of U.S. Navy—Arthur Hand Miss Prune, Dean of girl s Seminary— Gladys Emerick.. Pirate Chief, head of band f pirates—Allen Mark. Scary, a pirate—Charles Slattery. Daughters of Rich Hawaiians Karlaini—Nora Bailey Lilinoe—Rachel Marks Maile—Kate Pifer Lehua—Nelle Gent “Love Pirates” of Hiwaii, sure was a howling success. This was the first experience for Sandy High in Operettas, and they surely showed their skill along musical lines. Arthur Hand and Alice MacDonald, brought credit to the school in the skillful manner in which they carried the leading parts. . Art took the part of Billy Woods, Lieutenant of U. S. Cruiser Tenn., and was in love with Dorothy Deal-, who attends a girls seminary in Hiawaii. Billy tries every way possible to see Dorothy, but in vain. Finally Billy disguises as a pirate and comes to the school while a real band of pirates come and capture the seminary. Billy sends for U. S. Army and rescues the school, winning favor in Dorothy’s eye. Catchy little songs and dances here and there helped make Love Pirates of Hiwaii, one of the most successful plays ever presented at Sandy High.

Jack Harter taking the leading part, deserves much credit, and Alice MacDonald playing opposite him who took the part of an actress, had a lot of experience along this line, and carried her part nicely. Nora Bailey, and Arthur Hand portrayed some clever acting. Arthur, you can be a real lady. Our petite little Nora is always at her best on the stage. As a whole, the “Arrival of Kitty” was one of the most successful plays that was ever given at Sandy High.. “The Hoodoo” Brighton Early - - Arthur Hand Any Lee - - - Anne Griasmer Dodo de Graff — Alice MacDonold Dunn, the burglar - - George Ashenfelter Billy Jackson - - Earl Postlewaite Ima Clinger ....

The Hoodoo was a scream from beginning to end. Each member of the cast handled their part in an artistic manner. Nell Gent taking the part of Aunt Paradise, a colored cook, kept the house in an uproar and made every one take notice at her appearance. “The Hoodoo” marks another of Sandys most successful plays.

Page Number 74 THE FLAMBEAU Our Basket Ball season is gone, but will be long remembered by the Students of Sandy Hi, with the good standing that the team showed this year. It was stated by a lot of people and students that Sandy would not have as good a team as that of past years, but ask them what they think now. I think I’m safe in saying they will have a better team next year, but that remains to be seen.. There will be four “letter” men that will graduate this year, namely: Art Hand, George Ashenfelter, Guy Bertiaux and Harold Cable. Charles Slattery, Jack Harter, August Miller and Andrew Talaski are the “letter” men who will be available for next year, and with the help of the second team should develop a very strong Varsity for Old Sandy Hi. Sandy finished second in the Tri-County League this year, losing the most important game to Sykes-ville by a close score of 12-11. Sandy led Sykes in the last half of the game, and were beaten in the last minute of play. One of the players managed to slip through Sandys defense and score a lucky field goal that won the game. Sandy showed a wonderful season of Basket Ball, with the handicap that they were up against. I think you will agree with me. Sandy had two hours a week practice, while the other teams were getting from two to three hours a day, which is a great advantage for a Basket Ball team. The reason for this was that we did not have a “Gym”, and had to practice at the Central Y. M. C. A. Boys, if you get a “Gym” next year, I hope you will work and win the cup for Dear Old Sandy Hi, and show the people what you can do when you have the same advantage as the other schools. In behalf of the players that graduate I wish you a very successful season for next year. v- h V - ■ � -v mMwKkw S Mr mV mmmrnM mMm t SMMm M- ■ ri +• THE FLAMBEAU Page Number 75 ---—---------h BOYS BASKET BALL TEAM Page Number 76 +-------------- THE FLAMBEAU • Schedule for Season 192.3-24 Sandy 24 Alumni 14 Sandy 11 Beechw°ods 10 Sandy 28 Union Voc. 11 Sandy 11 Clarion 28 Sandy 24 Big Run 7 Sandy 2 Sykesville 11 Sandy 10 Sigel 26 Sandy 25 Brockwayville 12 Sandy 15 Union Voc. 22 Sandy 32 Sigel 15 Sandy 15 Beechwoods 12 Sandy 14 Big Run 13 Sandy 11 Sykesville 12 Sandy 27 Clarion 7 Sandy 15 Brockwayville 12 264 212 Sandy outscored theii r opponents by 52 points, having an average of 17 3-5 a game.

Zion Church, by the Athletic Association, the Faculty and School Directors being present with the two teams which made the occasion all the more enjoyable. Following the fine “Eats” a musical program was rendered that was well received. Following the music, gold watch charms in the form of minature basket balls were presented to the following players: Art Hand, Capt., Chas. Slattery, George Ashenfelter, Guy Bertiaux, Jack Harter and Harold Cable. The Directors gave short talks on the prospects of a Gym, all of them being in favor of building one. This ended the basketball season and also ended our basket ball days with Sandy Hi. The Track Team has been very busy, and track meet of the schools that were in the Tri-County League will meet at Brockwayville May 10th, 1924. Here’s Luck Fellows.

At the beginning of the basket-ball season everything looked bright, and girls of Sandy High thought we would have a first class team. Having no home gymnasium, where we could practice, we joined the It. R. Y. M. C. A. Here we could get only two hours practice a week. This was a great handicap to us because nearly all the teams we played against had gymnasiums, where they practiced practically every night. We started the season with Miss Fisher as our coach. Later Miss Gamble, former coach of the 1923 champions of Western Penna., took her place; but because of an accident, which occured at practice, she could no longer coach us, so we were without a coach the remainder of the season. In spite of these difficulties, we managed to put out a successful team, winning nine games out of sixteen. The schedule is as follows: Game Where Opponents S. H. S.

There in front of us on a large lot that we passed every day was a huge billboard that had just been put up that day. Why shouldn’t we stop for there in large black letters was Sandy Exchange. The first one we spied was: The Pattersonian—Mt. Joy, Pa., The exchange in it were first class and the cuts at the head of each department were quite clever. The Owl—Brookville, Pa., was the next. The jokes were excellent. The Red and White—Kittanning, Pa., came third. Their paper was newsy. It showed that their school is active. School Life—Buchannon, W. Va., then took our attention. From the amount of news in this paper we thought that the students must be well posted on school activities. The Beacon—Gloucester, Mass., then came to our notice. We were especially attracted to the clever poems and also the jokes. A few cuts would have added to the book. . The Last Lap—Alexandria, Va., by their book we noticed that their Literary Societies are working for an aim. They must be fine. The arrangement of the material could have been improved. The jokes were spicy, but their book did not state the location of their town.. The Blue and Gold—Johnsonburg, Pa., We were disappointed in not finding a Literary Department in their book, but the jokes were good. The Mirror—Punxsutawney, Pa. A good book. The poetry department was excellent. It was one of the best among our exchanges. The Jack ’O Lantern—The exchange department was very interesting. The cuts added greatly to their book. The Clipper—DuBois, Pa. The Literary Department was among the best in our exchange. The jokes were good. The Blue and White.—The poetry department would have been an improvement if increased. The Literary Department was good, and the jokes were snappy. As we read through the last book, I awoke and found myself sitting in a rocker with one of the exchanges in my hand. My dream had ended. Exchange Editor. Page Number 80 THE FLAMBEAU •+ Bill Slattery, 20-22, is principal of the West Liberty Schools.. Ruth Bailey, '22, who had been attending Business College this winter, decided she would change her course and keep house for “Kenny”. Claude Cramer '23, also decided he needs a house keeper, so he and Jessie Biers eloped, and went to Cumberland, Maryland. Betty Phelps, '23 and Ted Kied were married shortly after school closed last year. Ernest Ross is a traveling salesman for the Wilson Meat Packing Company. Merle Kessler, ’23, is employed by the Hibmr-Ho°ver Motor Company. Orville Nupp, '23, is employed in Ohio. Mrs. Gruver Calhoun, formerly Ethel Ghent, ’17, is enjoying married life in Warren, Ohio. Florence Erickson, ’22, has decided to be in style, and has had her hair bobbed.. Mr. and Mrs. Dodd, formerly Pearl Askey, T7, are rejoicing over the arrival of a baby girl. Adeline Lindahl, ’24.

Chuck Slattery—Soon you will change the name of your little Jane. Huh! Charley. Nora Bailey—Beware! young lady it takes “Morehead” than one to capture the Main idea. Ann Griesemer—Build your home n Cape Lookout and no Judges will interfere. Guy Bertiaux—You need not wind your watch, because your heart will keep perfect time. Who’s Guilty? Theres’s a lot of girls who like to pretend their mothers never have to advise them what to do. At least thats the way it was with Miss Fourclock. But listen! One day sissy Peggy asked her for a date. He’s the fellow Fourclok detested above all men; but still she hated to refuse since poor Peggy was so easily hurt. Now Fourclok please! I’ll call you up tomorrow Peggy; You see 1 always have to ask mother. (Poor mother sure helps out a lot in case when an excuse is needed.) Bashful bovs aren’t so shy this year. Why? Because it’s Leap Year, and the girls furnish the proposal. Boy—Don’t know what Im going to do, I don’t have a shirt on my back. Clever Kid—Certainly not, part of its in the front.

Mr. A.—See here! don’ let your mouth get away with the rest of your body. Phil—No danger, I have a brake on mine. I sent her chocolates by the peck, And roses red and yellow; But still that flapper had the nerve, To get another fellow. I took her to a dance one night, I’ll ne’er do it no more; That Flapper made me jealous, Danced with every fellow on the floor. I hired a car to take her out, Gee, I can’t forget that time; And mind, that little Flapper said, That, I wasn’t worth a dime. I thought we’d have a glorious time, Just be like two young wrens, But when I called for her that night, She had invited all her friends. I’ve called her mine so many time, My heart for her did pine; And so that little Flapper said, All boys have the same old LINE. FLAMBEAU Page Number 83 --- —------ ■+ You see, I’ve approached the subject, Many times since that, ’Till she got tired hearing it, And handed me my hat. Yes, and the boys both young and old, They think they’re pretty slick, But that little Flapper said, They surely made her sick. So boys stay away from the girls I say, And give them plenty of ROOM; For when your wed, they’ll bang you on the head, With the ball-headed end of the broom. Kate—(wading the mud)—Gee, I hate to get my new rubbers muddy, it seems a crime. Martin Boyers mother doesn’t call him son, because he only shines by night. I was so puzzled, she told me she loved lace, Well, what of it? You see, his name was Mr. Lovelace. Once, twice, thrice! Nice, Nice Nice! Bliss, Bliss, Bliss! Kiss, Kiss, Kiss! Boys, kissing may be naughty, but its nice. The porch of peace—When Art goes to see Ruth. Miss H—(speaking about Eng. literature)— People are getting away from the old idea of those common stocking shows. Men demand a better line of literature. p.,, Number 84 THE FLAMBEAU Jim—Say, Florence your a little dear! Florence—Insult! The idea of you classing me with an animal.
