Although we have known Mr. Parke not quite two years. his personality is so likeable that we feel as though he has been an intimate friend for years. We have come to know him as a man of high ideals and good principles, traits which he has manifested to a very marked degree in his leadership of one of the Hi-Y Clubs. We like him better with every new association. LESTER lfl. CONWAY, B. S. Westminster. PR1No1P.x1, or 'rnE l1lGII Scnooi.. Mr. i'onway's advice and generous assistance in the editing' of this hook have been of inesti- niable value to the staff. Despite his many rules and regulations, irksome innovations, and num- erous Dont's.,' most of us realize that his fundamental purpose is the safe-guarding of our welfare, and his first thought. our future, In the years to come, when we are face to face with Life, we shall discover what a wise counselor he has been, and what a great power for good he has exerted on our characters. We feel sure that we shall come to the full realization of the worth- iness of his principles and precepts only as our years inultiplv. Eleven ,wks Q2241-E f fJ 'l' Al' V523 -gf- ..:f'ff Q MARY E.

Mrs. Peterson has a very great responsibility. that of instilling' into the ontgxoing' Senior Class l hristian ideals and ainhilions, the impoitanee of whieh she fully realizes. When it eonles to liatin-well, we're sure that she has lneniorized every bit of liatin extant. This volume of the Sewihi is dedieated to one well worthy of the honor. HAYMOND IJ.

Mr. Kline has been with us for three years and is still steadily gaining' favor among us. lle is noted for his exceptional ability in arousing pep, and when anything' goes over big, you eau he sure Mr. Kline has had something' to do with it. In appreciation of his llllfll'lIlgl' efforts as football coach for three years, Mr. Kline was presented with a gold football by the '23 team. He has proved more than helpful as a faculty advisor of this Yllllllllt? of the Sewihi. O l ltt. isiom lieoNoM1c.:s. ,gm vi kit, ' it nian from ii ic gzport.

Thru every year he has been with us, Jim has helped to win fame and honor for S. H. 2. He also has great drawing ability which he uses to good effect. H ELEN BEAUMONT Helen is noted for her hearty laugh and her ever-ready wit. She was voted the most popular girl in S. H. S. in the contest held by the American Legion, and any one who knows Helen or only knows of her, will agree that she surely deserves the honor. Talk about basket- ball! Our Helen can outplay 'em all. ROBERT BECKER When it comes to Chemistry Bobby covers himself with glory. What Russell doesn't know, Bobby does, and the rest of us trail along behind. IIe's another one of the bunch that comes to S. H. S from Leetsdale. CATHERINE BEGLY. Here 's a lass who comes a great dis- tance to schoolg Begly comes clear from Baden. Even though she is one the quiet members of our class. she always ready to do anything you ask of her. She has been an active member of the Spanish Club for several years. of is FRED BENZENHOEFER Bud is one of our musicians. He plays the saxophone. Fred is also very popular with the fair sex and takes every opportunity' to use his time sue- cessfully before ringing the buzzer at morning and noon. MARGARET BLU ME Peg is one of the gang who hails from Leetsdale. She is one of our pret- tiest and most popular girls. Peggy is noted for her smile and her friend- ship towards everyone. MARGARET BOYLAN Why does Peggy sit so near the door? It is because she has many oppor- tunities to run a race with the tardy bell. She may never be seen without her pal. Eleanor Malone. RUTH BROWN Another of our quiet members Cwhile ,the teacher is aroundl is Brownie. I suppose none of us has ever been lucky enough to have experienced the sight of Brownie in a hurry. No, she always has lots of time. For some unknown reason she just loves the cloakroom. EILEEN BURCHILL Burch is famed for her singing. She can also play the piano very well, although few of us have heard her. Her career in dramatics has been notable dur- ing her entire high school course. ALICE R. CHAPMAN This is another girl who has a twin. You rarely see her out of the sight of Louise Crooks. Alice just loves Chem- istry and hates to hear the buzzer ring while she absorbs knowledge in Mr. lVieand's class. Nineteen LOUISE CROOKS Pretzel is one of our lassies who is usually here before the first bell rings. No danger of getting demerits for being late. She is a good and conscientious student and expects to impart her know- ledge to others. DOROTHY E. DAVIS One of our basket-ball stars. Without her the girls would have seldom won. Dot,' is a very active member of our class. Dorothy is the President of the Girl Reserves. F. MAX DEAN Max is probably our greatest dramatic star. He not only is a fine debater, but has been the leading man in many of our High School plays. Maxie is also a football star. VVILLIAM R. DICKSON How rilany demerits has he been awarded for being late? Some believe Bill never thinks of getting up until the five minute bell rings. He is also one of Mrs. Pete's darlings. LUCY E. DODS H 'tLu is one of the girls from Hays- ville. She is the financial manager of the Senior Class. She is very well liked by all the members of the class although she never has much to say. JAMES L. FICKINGER One of our Latin sharks who has never come to Latin class without his lesson ll 'Zi' Jimmie also shines in his other school work. He never makes mistakes while experimenting! Also a friend of Mrs. Pete's . HILDA N. FURNESS Hilda is the youngest and smallest member of our class. She is a very fine student and has never been seen to take a book home except from the Library. She will soon have to put her hair up or people will misjudge her age! ELIZABETH B, GILLETT Red is known for her bright remarks. Mr. Conway wonders why she is in the office so much. D0 we? How- ever she is very popular and shines in the dramatic line. She is very fond of Chem, too?? MARY GOTHAM Mary is one of our very popular belles, especially with several members of our class. Lately Mary had her hair bobbed and is not a bit sorry. To say the least we like her any way she fixes it. ALICE GRATTAN Another shy and quiet girl who comes from Edgeworth. NVe understand that she helps maintain the law in that bor- ough. When you want any typewriting done, call on Alice. MARGARET HANABLE Peg is one of the best and most consistent players on the Varsity Girls' Basket-ball team. We are proud to have her in our class as she is anywhere a valuable asset. Her willingness to do a person a good turn makes her well liked bv all. WILLIAM HANABLE Long John as his nickname implies, towers above the heads of any person of common height. He is one of our promi- nent football stars and shines in high- jumping. An extremely active Hi-Y member. GLADYS WIIARRY. Gladys is another girl who is a com-- petitor in the race against the echo of the tardy bell. Her constant pal and companion is Spark Plug. EDITH O. HARRIS. Ophelia has always been one of our best students. She has written several clever poems fofr the Sewihi. Edith furnishes a great deal of amusement in Latin Class and also has a smile for everyone. LILY HATTON. Lily is another of the Edgeworth crowd. She is absorbing all the know- ledge she can so that she may become a teacher. She expects to go to Indiana Normal with several other members of our class. JEAN HAY. Jean, who lives in Glenfield, is one of our best students. She takes a part in most of our activities, being in the orchestra, our last year's play, and a number of others. Jean is well-liked by everyone. DOUGLASS IIAYDEN Another student who comes from a distanceg Douglass hails from Fair Oaks. Ile may be seen at everything which is going on no matter how hard it may be to get there. Also popular with the student body and teachers. MARION HOFFMAN. Marion is a very quiet little girl. She always has a smile for everyone and is most willing to help anyone out when it comes to typewriting. She is quite a shark in that line. MERVIN HUNT, JR. Mer is another popular member of our class who will be missed by many people next year. He takes an active interest in football, basketball, baseball, the glee club and almost all our other activities. MORRIS JONES. Another prominent athlete, famed for his football and basket-ball playing. Mor- ris used to be quite a bashful boy, too, but they all seem to flop sooner or later. However, we believe Morris to be quite popular. ':Avec qui? Twenty-three Twenty-four RICHARD JONES. What a quiet boy Dick used to be! Ilow changed he has become! I wonder why? Richard is probably Mrs. Pete's most talked about and favorite student. Ile is noted for his brilliant mind. Also a star in football, basket-ball and base- ball. KATIIERINE LOWE. Although Cass,' has not always come to our school we keep her in our minds as one of our prominent members. She is quite an apt student, and is noted for her dancing. KA THERINE LOVVERY. Kitty is in truth a belle. She is noted for her beauty and her ability to entertain along' with her singing and dancing. Katherine has taken an active part in dramatics, being in several of our school plays. ELEANOR MALONE. honey, though very quiet, is well- liked by everyone. Shes very pretty, too. Oh. those Irish eyes that charm us, and that clever shingle! ! A certain Senior has lately taken an interest in her? J! EZ? KATHERINE MANSFIELD. No wonder KayH is so thin. It is a cease of necessity, as it doesn't pay to get too many demerits for being late. Kath- erine is probably the best actress in school. She is very popular and active in school life. Ask C Ill. s JEAN MATHER. Jeanie is one of the most active and popular members of our class. She also is noted for her scholarship and talent as an actress. It is a pleasure to have someone like Jean to take charge and do things as they should be done. VVILLIAM MCCULLOUGH. One of the best athletes in school, Bill has starred in football, basket-ball, baseball, and track. Besides that he takes part in all other school activities. He is popular and well liked by everyone. GRACE MACDONALD. This is a little, serious girl who comes all the way from Emsworth. We wonder how many mysterious things she always carries in her Satchel. Grace has always been very quiet and a good student. Also a fine note writer! ! ! ELIZABETH G. MCFARLAND. The honorable secretary of our class. Also the buzzer operator. She is well liked by everyone and always has a smile in view. Betty is usually at the bottom of the mischief when it comes to talking. ELIZABETH MCFARLAND. Red TI's hair is shingled and while fixing it the other day she got a bad splinter in her finger. A fine debater and a talented poet. Shines at banquets when it comes to eating meat.

Although llob left us at mid-years, we will be very glad to welcome him back Class Night. lle is a. noted football player. It is said that Bob expects to start a hardware shop where he will vol- lect rusty nails. GEORGE M INICK. Did the Seniors enjoy that partyi NVell, I rather guess they did. George is quiet and is therefore not as well known as some of the others. He is noted for his batting average and his 1909? '! Uhevvv. I UHARLES R. Ml'l'CllElili, JR. Chuck came to us this year from Buf- falo--and from all we hear, that school in Buffalo must be grand. Chuck has had experience in plumbing and Hinter- ioredecoratingl' as well as--? We leave the rest to your imagination! RUSSELL G. NEALE. Our dignified president-ahem! ! Ile looks and acts ver much so in school . s a violinist he is unexcelled, and is very active in all school affairs. An actor, too. BETTY PARKE. Talk about dramatic ability-that's where Sparky shines. Everyone knows of her great ability to enter into class affairs and activities of the school in general. A Spanish shark-maybe. NV. ERXVIN SCHUETTE. Erwin is noted for his advice to the love-lorn, himself included. His opinions are accepted by most of us as the thing not to do. He is a track star, also. Runs a mile in -l CO5 minutes flat. WILLIA M L. S UTHERIN. Bill is one of the best liked members of our class. Especially by the fairer? ? Y sex. NVhen you want anything done just go to that good looking fellow who lives up at the HY. Another track star. MARIE NVARD. Marie is one of our belles who hails from Sewickley's beautiful suburb of Edgeworth. If you leave your dorine at home and your nose is shiny-see Marie, And that red car-Gee! FRANCES M. XVATSON. Our orchestra woulduyt be an orches- tra if it weren't for 4'Frannie. Besides playing the piano. she has a very useful car and often uses it to the advantage of old S. H. S. Very popular and active when there is anything to be put across. JACK XVATSON. Jack was captain of this year's foot- ball team. Also noted for his sight read- ing in Latin. He is very popular and an excellent dancer. His trigonometry recitations are quite unique, to say the least. l Twenty-seven fo' -- ,,f K . Class Poem Dear Friends and Students reading here, They made me poet for this year, You know that I can 't poetize, So please with me do sympathize. Russell, who fiddles the violin best, Rules, as our president, over the rest. Because of his dancing, his fun and his vim, Many a pretty girl falls hard for him. Altho Imp-ossible is her nickname, She has learned to express a lofty life aim. Listen and hear what she will beg A wonderful actress, no less, says she. Among our boys, Dick Jones you see, Athletic hero, a star is he, Dick proved himself a faithful guide To keep our team on the winning side. She's dark, she's slim, she 's kind, she 's sweet, We all are sure she can't be beat. I wonder can you guess her name? Jean Mather is this girl of fame. Red Gillett has flaming hair, For acting, she has quite a flare, At dancing, she is quite a star, '1'he judges not-e her from afar. Chuck Mitchell, brown-eycd, handsome beau, Came to us from Buffalo, He joined our class just last September, He seems to have always been a member. Grace MacDonald has brown hair, In her studies she 's quite fair, But wwhen it comes to being cold Grace is always, I am told. Frances Watson has played the piano For four wild years we know. But how she charms the fellows so, Is something else we want to know. Charles Hanlon is so very tall That 's why he's good in basketball. We predict for this young man The finest future in this land. Peg Blume is friendly to us all, She stands up straight, but still she 's small, Her beauty doth attract all Princes, She well doth fit her role of Princess. Puss Lowery can vamp them all, The boys come running at her call, She twists them round her little fingers, 0'er her books she never lingersl Bob Becker is our best chem shark, He looks upon it as a lark. He studies all things very well, The answer he can always tell. Twenty-eight Mary Gotham, so pretty and fair, Combs out the curls of her shingled hair. She was quite studious until Along came a Senior by the name of Bill. One person in our classsings well, Oh, here she comes! Eil-een Burchill. In opera we'll not hear 'her voice, For nursing now is her life 's choice. Fred wails around on his saxophone, He never gets a cheerful tone. We all know he'll do something great When he starts on his sax to ruminate. Dot Davis, guard in basketball, Altho' she doesn't score at all, gShe's rather wild, fearless, and free,J She keeps the foe from victory. Oh, here he comes, a dashing bird, Bill McCullough is the word. Bill plays football with never a fear, He got a gold bask-etbal-l this year. Every morning, sunshine or rain, Jean Hay comes from Glenfield on the train. I think she'll be a conductoress, But our liking for her will never be less. Bill Hanable, who 's seven feet high, Would never let a ball go by. When Bill gets the ball, it must go in, 'Cause the basket comes to about his chin. A laugh comes lightly in the class: 'Tis Helen Beaumont, most popular lassg She on the mandolin doth play, And at her feet our love we lay. Betty Parke, with eyes that dream, That answer jokes with laughter's gleam, Is always happy, never shirksg At school, home, play, she always works. Erwin, the prophet of the class, Has told the fate of lad and lass. The milk man of our group is he, We wonder what he next will be. Our Lucy has a secret passion For movie shows, as is the fashion. She is so quiet, sweet, and dear, We 're always glad when she is near. Alice Grattan, with eyes of brown, Who comes to us from Edgeworth town, Has proved a friend to everyone, 'Withher quiet ways and loads of fun. When there are football games to win, Jim Anderson must be counted ing We're sure he will make loads of moneys By- drawing pictures for the funnies. ny. K 1 , V Here 's a girl named Peggy Boylan, Always at her books she's toilin'! Our Peg is small but full of cheer, She 's always late but she 's always here. When Peggy 's shadow doth appear, It's Eleanor Malone, her class-mate dear. Eleanor has, from what we hear, The prettiest shingle bob of the year. Jack Watson is a man of might, He stays out late most every night, So when you see 'him at his desk Don't disturb him, he's at rest. The youngest maid among us all, 1s Hilda Furness, sweet and, small. To typewrite is t0 her real fun, As 0'er the keys her fingers run. Lily Hatton still has long hair, To cut it off, she cannot bear, As long as she has such a lot, She will not cut a single lock. Mervin Hunt-naughty boy- He is every Senor 's joy, He's not very big or awfully tall, But he sure can play the game of football. Marie goes speeding down the street ln her red car, so nice and neat, She really drives quite fast you know, She cannot stand it to go slow. The peacefulness that always lies In Marion HoH'man's quiet eyes, Tells all of us that she is kind, And keeps but pleasant tho 'ts in mind. Robert McPherso11 is here at last, He travelled from us far and fast, He finished his course at the half year, But belongs to our group, nevfr fear. Mighty athletes? There 's still one more Belongs to the class of '24. Morris' hair isn't really red, Carrot suits it better instead. Edith Harris, that 's a mouthful, With the teachers she must have a pull, She gets good marks in every attempt, And from all exams she is exempt. Catherine Begley, a studious maiden, Has come to our school from the wilds of Baden. She studies her lessons and gets them, too, A thing that we all have tried to do. VVe have a boy-his name is Max, He lives beyond the railroad tracks, He'.s commonly known as a woman hater, But goodness oh! he 's a great debater. Ruth Brown, who is a dear class mate, 1s fair, most tall, and very sedate. ln public she holds her dignity true, And always knows just what to do. Betty McFarland the buzzer rings, In the morning she starts things, She makes us all begin our work, A thing which she would never shirk. William 'Suthcrin was most o'ercome By one study and only one, He won a victory with glee Over Trigonometry. We find in our sweet friend, Cass Lowe, A pleasantness that is not slow, To draw us nearer every day That we might know her winsome way. Doug Hayden is a lad of parts, To him the maidens lose their hearts, A Shiek i-never, just a good sport, He 's a shark I hear-on a tennis court. Louise Crooks has very Led hair, doesn't care, when you fall of them all. And for the boys she Look out, Louise, for You'll ,hit the hardest Bill Dickson, hurry To be in school on time you 'll fail! He comes running, just gets in, No wonder that he is so thin. up, you snail, Alice Chapman is the loving kind, A sweeter girl one couldn't find, She keeps her eyes glued to her books, And at the boys she never looks. George Minick is from Glenfield bound, ln his Chevie rushes round. He does 11ot care for girls that 's plain, He's out for all that he can gain. Peg Hanable's a basketball star, She shoots and makes them from afar, She also is a chemist shark, And always makes th-e highest mark. Gladys Wuharrey gets her work, She never seems to try to shirk, And still she's time for lots of fun, She simply puzzles every one. Mrs. Peterson with gentle rule Has led us to the close of school, Altho we did not Angels seem, We- hope we've wion her high esteem. What I 'have said of everyone, Was -only said in merry fun, And if I've been unduly mean, Please from vengeful thoughts do lean. All the high school is a grievin' Just 'cause 24 's a leavin' s Try to keep from feeling blue, ' When we say good-bye to you. M. E. Mer., f24. Twenty-nine History of the Class of i924 At the opening of school in the fall of 1920, a large group of verdant Fresh! men gathered in rooms 25 and 18. We felt terribly insignificant when we saw the all-powerful Seniors stalking through the halls. Mr. Conway was traffic cop for the first few days but we soon learned to find our way about from room to room. Some of us got our first taste of studying in that never-to-be-forgotten year, but, sad to say, some of us, so it seems, have not acquired that taste yet. Dick Jones, as president, guided us through our Freshie year. Next fall, a somewhat diminished class entered the portals for another year's work. John McCracken was elected as our honored president. Sopho- more sounded like music to our ears after having been called Freshie for a year. 'We better appreciated the school and entered more fully into the spirit. About eight of our members secured berths on various teams and showed that our class was more than a looker-on. In June, ten of our members graduated from the two year commercial class. In the fall of '22, sixty-two proud Juniors returned to S. H. S. William McCullough was chosen president, Morris Jones, vice-president, and John McCracken, treasurer. We had a better time this year because we were upper classmen and could direct the Freshies and Sophomores along the straight and narrow path, and could be more friendly with the Seniors. Vile had a fine time at the Prom and even danced with some of the Seniors. In athletics we could show them all where to get off. After the mid-year exams we drew up a resolution to promote loftier ideals in the school. In the Sewihi Handicap we crossed the hundred per cent mark a close second to Room 17. For this we had a party in the pavilion, at whic'h all had a good time. Now fifty of us, having reached the Senior year, have come to the conclusion that we are not boys and girls anymore, but young men and young women whose example should be followed by future generations. This year, in Chapel. we showed the lower classmen how Chapel talks should be made. Mrs. Peterson must have thought that we were not good enough to be called Angels this year. At lllinnick's party, we all had a fine time, sled riding, dancing. and so forth. and came home, tired but happy. About fifteen of our members have earned their let- ters on the various teams, and some of these will receive gold emblems for representing their school for three years on a team. Now at the end of this, our last year with S. H. S., we bid farewell with many heart aches, to the school and the teachers. We hope moreover that the following classes will have as many good times as we have had. Thirty I-T-1 ' gi o The Class Will VVe the Class of 1924, recognizing our importance, and feeling, as we ought. that we have been a real credit to this school from which we are about to depart. do most sincerely wish to honor those classes whom we are hesitatingly but hopefully leaving behind us, by presenting to them our most useful and treasured possessions. Therefore, we, the class of '24, with our characteristic tact and modesty, being of sound and disposing mind and memory do, hereby, make, publish and declare this to be our last will and testament, in manner following:- To the class of '25 we bequeath our clever and independent nature, which we feel assured will help them to execute the responsible duties of Seniors, with becoming dignity and will aid them in attaining the high and unapproachablc standards which we have so deservingly reached. To them also, but especially to the out-of-town students, do we give the cloakroom mirror, knowing that it will be their salvation in the morning, after a breathless race for the train. VVe also Wish to bequeath to these incoming Seniors. that athletic ability which permits late arrivals to flop into their seats just as the tardy bell sounds, and thus just to avoid that fatal one-third. To the Class of '26, we feel duty-bound to bequeath the old ink bottles. which may be found anywhere and everywhere in room 18, to tide them over their coming Junior essays, and with these must be included the large ink bottle, which Cap will, to be sure, cheerfully replenish. To the class of '27 we give our graceful and wise use of authority which we feel will be much appreciated in their dealings with the Freshmen. To the class of ,28 we give our cheerfulness and good nature, which we hope will make their frequent enrollment in the G class, a real pleasure. To the whole school, we give our generosity, our knowledge, our pep and congenialityg and may these prove real assets. In conclusion, we may urge one thing-that all these valuables be transported.with the utmost care and considera- tion to the new High School. In witness whereof, we have set our hand and seal this 20th day of June, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four. ' CSignedD The Class of 1924. Witnesses: L. H.

But when,' after twenty-five years spent in wandering over Europe, I decided to come back, to my surprise I found It possible to book my passage direct from Naples to Sewickley. William Hanable. world famed engineer, was the man who had directed the construction of a huge canal and after twenty years of untiring work had realized his dream of connecting the ocean with the Ohio. As we passed Walnut Beach I recognized Morris Jones. His fame as a life guard had spread because he had a reputation for saving men and old women as well as flappers. The headlines of a newspaper caught my eye. Famous Actor Sued for Divorce. Reading further, I discovered that I knew most of the principals involved in the case. Russell Neale. then playing with his wife. Catherine Mansfield, in the latest musical comedy, was being sued by her on grounds that Mary Gotham, a chorus girl, was alienating his affections and that he was yielding to her tender allurements. Besides, Mrs. Neale said that the only time her husband kissed her was on the stage, when he had to. Judge J. M. Vtlatson, the Pittsburgh lawyer, was counsel for the defence, while Lucy Dods'was the prosecuting attorney. As it was over twenty years since I had been in Sewickley, I had seen but few of my old classmates. However I had run across Douglass Hayden in London. Douglass was the successful editor of an English joke and scandal sheet, similar to our Whiz Bang. As his jokes never had any point to them, he was very popular with the English. Kathryn Lowe and Margaret Ilanable were also in Europe gathering material for their next novels. Dr. F. Max Dean being the only member of the class of '24 with whom I had kept in touch, I decided to drop in on him. I called a Red Cap to carry my baggage and to my surprise, up came Robert McPherson. Noting my aston- ishment at seeing him in such a position he told me he was a detective after a bootlegger. Before I could get away he made me promise to visit him and his wife, Marion Hoffman. As I stepped into the taxi, I overheard the driver talking wit'h several of his pals about the big raid on their crap game the night before, made by Chief- of-Police M. Elizabeth McFarland and her lieutenants, Eleanor Malone and Margaret Boylan, I immediately recognized him as Charles Hanlon. Upon arriving at Dr. Dean 's residence on the Heights. I found the house rather torn up, but I soon learned that Brown and Begly, Interior Decorators. were busily at work. Doctor Dean told me that I was just in time for a tea with Madame Kikhyski, Famous Russian dancer, better known to us as Red Gillett. which was being given in honor of Robert Becker, noted jazz music composer. Mr. Becker 'had recently become popular with his latest hit, Carrot Top Blues. which he had composed in honor of his wife, Louise Crooks. The gathering was a very congenial group, all those present being members of the class of '24, There were Fred Benzenhoefer, saxophonist, who, with his orchestra, had made Becker 's songs popularg Jean Hay, violinist, and Margaret Blume, Shakespearean actress. We were kept in good humor by the witty remarks and jokes of Bill Sutherin, vaudeville comedian. Thirty-four eww- mi I asked about the others of our class and learned that Helen Beaumont. with a staff consisting of Bill McCullough and Betty McFarland, was doing wonderfully progressive social work at the World's Largest Foundry across the river. Miss Beaumont had just published her book, My Twenty-One and a Half Years at Stoops Ferry. Charles Mitchell was in his element as kindergarten teacher. Although having no children himself, he seemed to know how to handle the little tots. Dorothea Davis and Grace MacDonald had settled down and married after taking the prizes at the National Bathing Beauty contest the summer before at Walnut Beach. Of course, after so much publicity, the two had received hundreds of proposals but they both had chosen to marry Sewickley men. Dorothea's husband, Dick Jones, and Bill Dickson, whom Grace had married, with their keen understanding and acute knowledge of women, were very successful in editing a flourishing magazine whose circulation rivaled that of the Ladies' llome Journal. The women naturally talked about the latest spring and summer styles. The most popular seemed to be the snappy Alice Chapman models. llpon hearing Frances NVats0n's name mentioned, I asked who her latest victim was, for I knew that she was too tickle to have married. I was informed that after smashing all the hearts in Allegheny County, she and Marie Vl'ard had become missionaries to China. Eileen Burchill was a nurse. As she was also a singer, she entertained the inmates at her hospital at'Dixmont by going about the corridors yelling. Thus she helped them to forget their cares and pains. Jean Mather had also taken up nursing but had abandoned that profession to become an artist 's model. Edith Harris was holding revival meetings in the South. As two of the group were members of the school board, I heard about the controversy which the Principal, James Fickinger. was having with the board, on the question of permitting the girls to smoke in the dressing rooms and halls between classes. Dr. Fickinger's strongest argument against it was the increased cost of fire insurance rates. That night we motored out to Minnick's Road House. The main attraction was a musical show starring Catherine Lowery. The Sob Sisters, Lily Hatton and Alice Grattan, were also performing. On our way home the newsboys were selling extras 'tall about the big fight. Kid Hunt, Champion VVelterweight, had successfully defended his title in thirty-seven rounds. owing to his ability to stand up under severe punishment. Before going to sleep, I read one of Hilda Furness 's short stories in The lIerald.'l Glancing through the magazine, I saw several cartoons by Jim Anderson. I also came upon a testimonial of an actress, advertising Gladys Wharrey's Soap and VV'ater Treatment. Betty Parke, the most highly paid Dippy Doo Dad actress in motion pictures, told the almost unbelievable story of how she became beautiful and retained that schoolgirl complexion. This was enough! I had come to Sewickley that morning wondering how many of my classmates I would see, and here I had either seen or heard of them all. I put out the light and went to sleep wondering how many of my old teachers would appear to me in my dreams. W. E. S. '24. 'Lil-,Y ,W Thirty-Five i t Class Song Dear School of our youth and the pride of old age, It 's with sorrow we leave thee behind. As we journey forth now on the work of our choice, We will ever keep thee on our mind, Oh, the scenes that are here, Hold a place to us dear, Though we've often broke many a rule, And where 'er we may go, And whate'er we may do, We 'll think of thee, our own dear school. Now in life 's hard school we must take a bold stand, And will need thee as never before. And the things that we say, and the things that we do. Will reflect on this class-Twenty-four. We have all had a chance, To learn and advance, If we didn 't, think of it no more, But just look straight ahead. the worlds knocks do not dread, And accomplish great things-Twenty-four.

Q. a 0 JUN IOIILS ' .ef if dai' History of the Junior Class We, the Junior class, started our career as green Freshman in 1921 in rooms 18 and 25, with a very large enrollment in comparison with preceding classes. When school had sufficiently settled down to work, we duly elected our first class otiicers, Chester Challis winning out as l'resident. He was succeeded for the Sophomore year by Jack Barber. During our second year we were still numerous Qncugii to require two reporting rooms, 21 and 17 with M-r. Kline and Miss Babcock as our guardians. Now in our Junior year we number sixty-three and assemble in room 21 under Miss Hubbell. Forest McComb is our President: James Wolfe, Vice President, Marianne Dean, Secretary, and Chester Challis, Treasurer. Our class has always been well represented in all the activities of the High School during the three years of our existence here. Several of the fellows won letters in athletics in their Freshman year and several more as Sophomores. This year an even greater number, including girls have won the big S, ln football they are Forest McComb and Paul Jonesq in basket ball, Edith Thomson, and Betty McCullough. Since the baseball season is not yet over, letters have not been awarded but the following Juniors are on the team as regulars: James Wolfe, Jack Barber, Chester Challis, NVilliam NVheat, Edward Symes, Chester Cook, and Walter Beall. Four of our members: Donald MacDonald, Charles Hough, Paul Jones and Charles Diehl won letters in the orchestra last year. Before the mid-year exams we followed the example of the SQIIIOI' class in a resolution to be honorable and display good conduct in examinations throughout 1924. During the recent drive for the Bond Issue, by which we are to be provided with a new High School, the Junior class took a great part in soliciting votes, even though there is hardly a hope of our being able to use the new building. Several members ot' our class have been awarded prizes for scholarship in certain subjects: Ilelen O'Halloran received one in Civics for the year '21-'22 and for the same year, Marion Famous in General Science. and James VVolfe in Algebra and Civics. The following year prizes were given to James XVolfe for Geometry. and Marianne Dean for English and Biology. M. D. '25.

Un September lil, 1922, we held our first meeting at which time we elected as otilieers for the year, President-John Kindsqlatter, Vice President-- Alma Barber, Secretary-Marion Challis, and Treasurer-Leslie Morris. The class was well represented in the High School Activities. Edward Aston was awarded an S in Foot liall, Crystal Frev in Girls' Basket liall. and Barr Haines in Orchestra. To prove the educational end was not neglected, tive members were awarded prizes for their efforts, Jessie Thornton received one in Latin, Lucy Thornton, one in English, Alma Barber, one in General Science, Nathan Kerr, one in Algebra, and John Kindsvatter, one in Civics. The second year we were again divided into two section rooms, and the same friendly spirit of rivalry which appeared between our section rooms as Freshmen, again existed. The first meeting was held September 6, the following being elected as offi- cers: President-John Kindsvatter. Vice President-Charles Murray, Secretary -Marie Watson. and Treasurer-Marion Challis. 'l'hc class was again well represented in activities z-Edward Aston and Keefer Foye, were awarded an S in Foot Ball, Crystal Frey an S in Basket Hall, and Marian White, Pearl Richardson. Mildred Hockenberry,,Gilbert Parke, George Gregg, Frank Fickinger, and Bar Haines received letters for Orchestra work. We believe our class has done its part by contributing its services to the Social Activities, and we hope we have accomplished our aim in upholding the high moral standards of our school. J. K. '26. Forty-four 1--as ---1' . 7 A fx, li tins ffuf-inn 5' E .:x21im-'u hlll, Class History On September 2. 1923, about a hundred Freshmen were crowded into three reporting rooms. VVe all looked and acted just the way all Freshies should, in order to please the upper class-men. Most every one of us got lost the first few days but after a while we became accustomed to the High School way of doing things. We would ask some tall and fair looking senior the way to certain rooms. In football season, not many Freshies could find ambition to try their luck. There is only one who deserves mention-that is Donald Nibert. In basket-ball, we showed our real players. Among the boys, two were on the second team. These were Paul Barber and Donald Nibert. They both played well and will be good material for next year 's Varsity team. The girls out-shone the boys on the basket-hall floor. One of the girls, Eleanor NVatson, got her letter and two others, Grace McAvoy and Edith Mould, received numerals. Then came the baseball season. Paul Barber again showed his ability in playing left field. It seems no one else in the class was very much interested in this sport. Our officers, Gray McCord, president, David Murdoch, vice-presidentg Eleanor VVatson, secretaryg and Torry Wehrum, treasurer, were a big help. You see we 'have every FCHS011 to be proud of the class of '27. E. NV. '27.

The membership of the circle consisted of second, third. and fourth year Latin classes. The Circle had about sixty members, all of whom participated in the programs at various times. Mrs. Peterson, our Latin teacher, had charge of the Club. The Circle had a group of oflieers who eo-operated with Mrs. Peterson in a fine manner. The otha-ers for the first semester were Jean Mather and Richard Jones, alternating as president, at the meetings, llelen Beaumont. secretary and the Program Committee composed of Marianne Dean. llenrietta NVisner, Jessie Thornton, and Charles Murray, The oflieers for the seeond semester were Catherine Lowe and Erwin Schuette. l'resident, Chester Challis. secretary, and the members of the program committee. Norma llunt. Jean Mather, and Elizabeth Skeehan. The Circle met on the first and third Monday of each month. The programs of these meetings were varied, consisting of games such as Latin riddles. deriva- tion of English words from Latin. Traditional Roman history was given by a large number of the students. The topics of Roman history were stories of many of the Roman kings and their deeds. One program was entirely devoted to the discussion of Caesar and his battles and his methods in Roman politics. Another program was devoted to discussing the life of the great orator. Cicero. An interesting talk was given at. one of the meetings which related the benefits derived from the study of Latin. A Latin play, was given by the Junior and Senior classes entitled A Roman School' The play, given in Latin, was a great success. For the most part the programs were enjoyed hy the students, who were greatly helped by some of the information given at the meetings. D, C C. 25.

They were, -lanies Wolfe, president. Jack Barber. vice-presidentg Betty Parke, secretaryg and Erwin Sehuette. chairinan of the prograin eoininlttee The club members consisted of the second Veal' students and when later ln the year a third year Spanish class was begun, these students also joined the elub. Some very interesting and amusing pro,Q'rams have been H1'l'H1lgI0tl by lirwin with the help of Miss Hubbell and a very capable committee. These consist of plays and stories by the different students with current events mixed in. The entire meeting, from business to the motion to adjourn is conducted in Spanish. Here we would like to say a word about our sponsor. She is our Blain- stayn and a. very good one. All the pupils like her, a fact which accounts for the more than usual success she has had with her students. We hope that next year's Spanish Club will be as enjoyable as that in which we have partieipated this year, and under Miss Hubbell 's leadership. we are sure it will be. IS. P.

The purpose of the Club is to create an interest in French affairs and thus to promote an inter- est in the language. 'l'hc officers for the Hrst semester were: president. Douglass llaydeng vice president. Betty G. McFarland g secretary, Chester llhallisq and for the second semester: president, llenrietta Wisnerg vice president. Riehard Jonesg secretary, Elizabeth Skeehan. The attitude of the members to the Club is commendable. They are perfectly willing to appear on the program. and take part very well. A program generally consists of a reading. current events. and descriptions of historical spots in Franee. On one oeeasion, a play Le Medeein Rlystifien was given. in which Henrietta Wisner, Richard Jones and llelen O' Ilalloran appeared. Much credit is due to the various program committees. appointed each meeting: by the l'resident. These prepared the programs for the next meeting. We hope that next year our club will be even more delightful. for by then we will have had experience along that line. lint we think that we have a fine club for a first attempt at an organized French Uirele.

The cabinet has been long' neeclerl and is a worthy addition to the orchestra. equipment. During! the year the orchestra furnished music for the High School Plays, Soshells, and incetingrs of the Home and School Associa- tion. Mr. Cook, the clirei-tor, is to be erecliteml with making a presentable orchestra of green material and bills fair to construct an orchestra of greater and better quality in the coming year. R. G. N.

Cook, who directed the Club throughout the year. The efforts ot' the Club culminated in the presentation of a joint Orchestra and lllee Club Concert. which was given in l4'ebruary. Several numbers were sung by the lioys' and Girls' Clioruses, separately and jointly, and were evidently much appreciated by the fair-sized audience that greeted the pei'- forniers. Several times during the year, the Glee Clubs presented numbers in Chapel. also. and received considerable applause for their etforts. We hope that next yeai' will see even greater activity upon the part of the Glee Club in Chapel exercises. il' only to relieve the usual monotony of Chapel Period. Aside from the benefit dei'ived by the members of the Club themselves. the ensemble singing ot' the whole lligh School has been greatly improved, a fact which is no doubt due in great measure to the experienced voices trained by the activities of the Club. kitty-four The Oracle Sewickley High School has for years published intermittently in The Heraldu school news and notes. A brief history or resume of this activity might be interesting here. In 190-1, Lowell XV. Nicols, then a senior, lirst instituted The Oracle. The following year, a High School news column of varying length was published irregularly in 'tThe Heraldf, The third year after its inauguration, The Oraclel' dwindled in size and quality, and was finally discontinued altogether, and did not appear again for several years. ln 1912, however, Paul Cook caused its re-institution and for a. few years thereafter, it flourished again. only, however. to fail once more before long. Again, though, in 1919, Holton Bull and Harold Hertz reorganized the publication, each running it under the name of SpizerinctumH and The Stylus, respectively, After the final issue of 't The Stylus, these columns never appeared regularly again until the Spring of 1923, when the t'Sewihi staff re-instituted The Oracle. The past year has been a peculiarly successful one for The Oraclef' Organized under the direction of the publicity department of the High School Activities Association, it has appeared each week, beginning with The Herald of October sixth averaging three columns in length. Under the direction of the editor, Howard Weierliach, the aim of The Oracle has been to furnish all High School activities with due publicity, to make announcements to the students, and to let all know what the school is doing or intends to dog and through the editorial columns, to direct the thought of the students in the right direction. Betty M1-Farland was responsible for the general school news and activities. The interesting, highly entertaining accounts of all our athletic contests were w1'itten by Ted Wolf. Betty and Ted were the only members of the staff who stuck with the editor throughout the whole year. A few others helped from time to time, however. Eileen Burchill conducted a peppy joke column for the first few months, but unfortunately. found it impossible to continue her work for the following issues. During the Girls' Basketball season, Billie VVehrum furnished HThe Oracle with interesting, colorful accounts of each game. Fifty-flve '2i..4.:i-: 1.1, -:' ' .T-'-. -l in 1? bf- ' ' 'Z' ' ' if?

The Girl Reserve Movement is an organization for the purpose of promoting a spirit of friendship, service, loyalty, and religion among high school girls. The Sewieklev Girl Reserves are mernbers of the inter-club council of the city of l'ittsburgh. The governing body of the club is a cabinet of nine members -President, Vice President, Secretary. Treasurer: and chairmen of the following committees, Religion, Educational, Social, Membership, Social Service. and Athletic. The girls meet every Thursday evening at the Y Annex where they have dinner followed either by Bible study or a social gathering. The plan of alter- nating the serious work with the light was taken np in order to hold the interest of all the girls. Four delegates from Sewicklev attended the annual Girl Reserve Confer- ence held at the Central Y. W. U. A. in Pittsburgh, l ebruary 7, 8, and Sl. These were Dorothea Davis, president of the cabinet, Ethel Shields, vice-president, Jean Mather, secretary. and Frances Watson, religions work chairman. Towns from all over Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia were represented there. April 26 and 27 an inter-borough conference was held for the elubs of liellevue, Avalon, Ben Avon, and Sewiekley. A group of about twenty-tive Sewickley girls represented the club. It is hoped that the second season of the Sewickley Girl Reserves will be as successful as has been the first. J. M. '2-1.

A program eonnnlttee was also elected. lt consisted of tln'ee members. namely: Doris Mather, llavid Murdoch and iXl2lI'Yfl'l'2ly Ander- son. lt is their duty to assign talks to different members of the club, whieh are to eonie under the general snhjeet of Radio. These talks or productions are intended to give the members a little knowledge of radios, their eonstruetion and care. There are also eertain rnles and regulations which must be obeyed ill the meetings. First ol' all, order mnst he kept during the meetings. When one wishes to speak, he must rise and address the president or presiding ottieer. Secondly. regular and prompt attendanee mnst he maintained. These orders are enforeed by the sergeant-at-arms who eolleets a small fine, levied by the president. for disohevingr any one of these requirements. The Radio l'lnb has proven a sueeess in every way, and we sineerely hopt that the student members are grettingz' ont of it that for which it was intended. lf so. we have at-eomplished something wlneh ni later years may prove a great help to each and everv student. R. B. '2-l. l-'itty-eiulit 1 L 1 The lnter-Scholastic Debates The inter-scholastic debates have been in every way a success. Sewickley was ably represented by Elizabeth McFarland Blltl Max Dean, with Miss Kerr as their coach. The subject for debate was Resolved, that the immigration policy of the United States should be based on economic consideration only. Our team drew the affirmative side of the question, and early in January, work was started. The tirst debate took place in our auditorium, February l-lth. Bellevue, well supported by two eloquent young men, went down before the convincing arguments of the Sewickleyites. The winning of this contest entitled us to compete with Aspinwall on March 17th. The debaters and several of their friends journeyed up the river with light hearts, and returned in yet better spirits, for had they not defeated the two young Aspinwall ladies V? This second victory made possible our entry into the semi-finals. What excitement! What anticipation! At last, the great night arrived! Again Max, Elizabeth, and Miss Kerr-accompanied this time by several earloads of rooters-sallied forth to do battle with the crafty tfraftoners. Everything was as sweet as candy, and Sewickley had a good chance until one of the Crafton debaters proceeded to read a. series of letters which he had received from prominent men of affairs, stating convincing arguments against basing immigration restrictions upon economic considerations only. He had evidently written to these men asking for their opinion on the subject, a very clever idea, for it spelled defeat for Sewickley. Thus ended our debating for this year. YVe, as a school, greatly appreciate the honor that our debaters won for us, by making the wonderful showing they did 3-never before has Sewickley stayed so long in the contest. Elizabeth, Max, and Miss Kerr worked faithfully and well, and they can feel rewarded for their efforts. J. M . ,Q-L.

December the twenty-eighth. the Ohio Valley' Fhapter 0l'flPl of De Molay was instituted by the Duiquesne and 'l'emplar Vhaipters Forty-one admitted from various other ehapters and a new 1-lass of forty-two was taken in. At present twenty-six are members of the lligh Hehool. The meetings camo on the Mondays which precede the first and third Thursday of each month. These meetings are hc-ld at the Blasonie Lodge rooms in the First National Hank building. The purpose of the De Molay is to better the welfare of boys between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one years. Devotional Day was observed on Sunday. the sixteenth of March. The Rev. D. li. Myers of the Methodist Chnreh prepared a special sermon. Every member of the Chapter is required to attend this service. to whim-h the chapter goes in a body. On February the twenty-ninth. the Chapter held its first dance at the Coraopolis Armory. lt was very successful and the Chapter is planning' to hold another as soon as a date can be arran,Q'ed, J. li. 25. Sixty-one ef -A Chapels Chapels this year have shown a vast improvement over those of former years, a fact which may be attributed jointly to two factors: first, that much more time was devoted to these exercises, and second, that a greater eifort was put forth to bring prominent speakers before the student body. , A new chapel system was introduced, whereby forty-five minutes each Tuesday and Thursday were set aside for Literaries, Senior talks, announcements. addresses, etc. Each Senior led chapel once during the year, and practically all of them showed great ability in this line. Greater stress was put upon the delivery of Senior talks this year with the result that by means of biographies. various poems, current topics, musical numbers. etc., the students heard the lives of great men lived over before them, comedies and tragedies vividly por- trayed, latest inventions and scientific discoveries capably explained, and present day conditions brought effectively to mind. All this was serious, but our ehapels were not without the humorous side, as a reasonable percentage of the Senior talks were full of fun. Mr. Kline did much to enliven the chapels by occasional slants on life which were not at all overburdened by the gloomy side of life. Among the speakers imported for special occasions was Pop Mace, who though extremely humorous, gave us something to remember about the object of M. U. F. Week, General Asgapetya of the Armenian Armies gave us an alternately fiery and gloomy picture of the Armenian life today, in behalf of the Near East Relief. Music Week was celebrated in S. H. S. by musical numbers given through the courtesy of the Music Club. Nor was music forgotten at any time during the year, for Mr. Cook 's leading put life into the chapel singing. Last, but not least among the regular incidents of chapel were Mr. Conway 's inspiration lists , whereby each student learned whether or not his presence was requested after school for the next week due to lack of energy in studying. Literaries Our system of Literary production also underwent a revision the past year. Each teacher was in charge of a group of students and each Tuesday, one of them produced a series of talks, poems, or musical numbers from among his group. These exercises were unusually interesting, consisting most frequently of seven or eight numbers. The most common of the Literary features were the piano solos and current topics. These last were reviews of political, domestic, or scientific operations. The poems and recitations as a whole, were more easily understood, since poor delivery often called for the repetition of a number. Saxophone and vocal solos, though scarce, were in great demand, and at times, the student-musician found that his audience refused to let him stop when he wished. The most unusual feature of our musical exercises was a saw solo by a member of our Freshman Class. One of our former Literary customs was dropped this year, It was found that the short plays produced last year were not as well delivered as are individual numbers. The student body owes especial thanks to the High School Orchestra for its valuable work in chapels and Literaries. Mr. Cook deserves separate mention for his untiring work in leading our singing and orchestra. As a whole, it is safe to say that Sewickley High School has just experienced her best year in the Literary line. ' J. T. W. '25. Sixty-two Q e i i The Bond lssue Sewickley High School had an exceedingly unusual experience in the way of school activity this spring. It is very seldom that any body of school students ever has an opportunity to take a hand in the administration of community affairs, but such was the case when our whole school put its shoulder to the wheel during the last election to obtain a bond issue for a new high school building. And suffice it to say that they not only succeeded but they put over the most overwhelming vote that Sewickley has ever polled. A review of our students' work will show not only enterprise and ambition, but also great political ability and foresight. The first thing to consider was the organization of a capable campaign management. We are largely indebted for this organiza- tion to Mrs. Todd, and the School Board, who were no less interested in our new building than were the students themselves. The first step was a meeting of the class presidents with Mrs. Todd and Mr. Conway to determine ways in which the students might aid in the campaign. The result of this meeting was the following plan of attack upon the hearts and minds of the voters of Sewickley: a. The evening before election day a parade was to be held with all students in line, led by autos and a band. b. Election day in the morning. The parade to be continued. c. Voters were to be notified of our desire to have them vote. d. Students to be placed at each poll to electioneer. And this plan was carried out well. Almost every student in Sewickley High School took part in the parades. The next morning before seven o'clock each house in the town had received a tag requesting them to vote. This was through the activity of the Freshmen and Sophoniores. The first hitch in the smooth running plan came up about eight o'clock when it was discovered that the bond issue ballots had not been delivered. But here the students showed their greatest enterprise by sending an auto load to town for the missing papers. And before very much delay had been caused, these students had returned and all was peaceful again. At ten o'clock thc Senior and Junior classes were dispatched to the various polling stations for the final bit of campaigning. And while this group was busying itself with electioneering, several poster-covered cars cruised about town, waking the late sleepers. Those at the polls met with another difficulty when some of the election boards denied them the right to stand in front and ask for votes. But were they stopped? They were not! Cards printed by the Home and School Association as a special request to each voter in town were delivered. Diplomacy and tact were shown when some of Sewickley is older generation were transported to the polls in automobiles. By seven o'clock on election day evening. Sewickley High School students were almost all ready to sleep after a hard day, but the results justified the means for the final vote was approximately 830-390, and Sewickley had earned a new high school building.

The play is a comedy from start to finish, revolving about at wealthy family, who are suddenly left without servants. The girls can not even light the gas stove, and the mother is just as helpless as they are. The one daugh- ter, however, goes to the city and returns with a Russian Grand Duke, a Prince, a Count, and a Princess, who have been reduced to the level of servants by the revolution. They are immediately hired. but the duties of servants get mixed with those of guests, and each of the Russians falls in love with one of the family. The mystery of some stolen old masters enters into the story and before it has been straightened out, it develops that the Russians are not Russians, but only college students and amateur actors working their way through school. Marie Viiatson took the part of the mother. Mrs. NVelby, supported by Catherine Mansfield, Gaye Dietrich, Catherine Lowery, and William Sutherin. as her family. Betty Parke, as Mary Mandsley and a cousin of the Wclbys, and Harry VVeiss as a detective are the trouble-makers and are responsible for the exposure of the bogus Russians in the last scene. The Russians were Max Dean, the Grand Duke Boris Igorovitehg Howard Weierbach, Prince Vladimir Dioniso- vitch Shooterotsky, Mervin Hunt, Count Ivan Andricoviteh Storogevneverwhat- sky, and Margaret Blume. Princess 'li-ina Petrovna. Charles Diehl as Miller Gutteridge, is the real villain of the story although a guest of the family. The stage setting and management was taken care of perhaps better than ever before by Raymond Nash, Fred Ilaushalter, James Hanlon, and Charles Diehl, in charge of properties. Elizabeth Gillett filled the role of prompter, and Jean Mather assisted in various ways, especially as assistant Property Manager. Mr. Cook was responsible for the excellent direction of the play. ' Sixty-five -ii,-l-1 -j-1 7 t -ff-Ha f t as 1 The Mid-Year Plays On December 19. the lligrh School students presented two one-aet plays. America Passes Hy and t'Sauee for the tioslingrsf' for the benefit of the SIGWIIII. The former was the story of an American girl. born and raised in Japan, and her struggle to aeeustom herself to the manners and eustoins of American life, after her red-blooded American sweetheart brings her to the l'nited States on a. pre-wedding trip. 'l'liey are planning to be married in Chicago. the very heart of the busy life of their native land. but when she find-s herself unable to appreciate or understand the jazz and overflowing spirits of the Chicago populaee. they both realize the tremendous gulf that exists between them and by mutual agreement. the engragrement is broken. Elizabeth Gillett portrayed the part of the quiet, little Japanese-mannered girl, and Max Dean played opposite her. Jean Mather and Douglass Hayden formed the baekgrrounfl of the play as the newly-weds. typical of Ameriean life and manners, who entertain the engaged couple in their home. where the agfreenient is finally arrived at. The seeond play was the story of the parents of ultra-modern ehildren who are highly imbued with the jazz spirit. espeeially in their speech. The parents, inspired by the elever grrandinother of the two children. devise a plan by whieh they hope to eorreet the manners of their offspring. By inimieking the younger 01108. when the latter are entertaining: eollegre friends. they shoek their ehildren into a realization of the ridieulousness of their overdone jazz spirit and sneeeed in etfeetingz a reform at the same time.

Alumni An organization of her alumni has long been a crying need of Sewickley High School. Such an association was started last year and so far it has done splendid work in getting and keeping the interest of the S. H. S. Alumni centered in their Alma Mater. The Class of 1923, aided by a few alumni, keenly interested in the affairs of the High School, was largely responsible for the organization of this body. which has sponsored various activities such as dances, which tend to mix the students and the alumni, and contests between the school teams and those of the alunmi. The alumni have shown their spirit and thc strength of their teams. this year by defeating the Varsity football team and by giving the High School basketball team a tough fight. Alumni support has been shown in the purchase of subscriptions to the Sewihi, the High School Annual, a number of books having been sold to the Alumni or through their efforts. In this High School activity, however. their support. however good, could be improved and accentuated. The Alumni showed their loyalty to the old school by influencing to the utmost possible degree the passage of the Bond Issue for the erection of a new and better school building. The Sewickley High School Alumni Association now has enrolled about 100 graduates, all of them, even though living in distant cities, true and loyal to the Red and Blue Standard of Sewickley High School, All members of the Class of '24 are urged to join this organization which has at heart the betterment of conditions in the High School, and which is interested, primarily. in sustaining the interest of Sewickley High School Alumni in the activities of old Sewickley High.

WI IH l LI TEDA HE ,Q .J Q. .J 1 A 'ai 5 I f '-'- ' J The Vacation of William ones, Esq. Now in the tl1ird year i11 the reign of good President Wilson, William Jones, Esq. of Jones l urnishing Company, New York, said, I am wearied with much work and think l need a rest. Ile called in his physician who felt his pulse. Ten dollars. tOath by which all physicians swearj. You must have rest. Fly with thyself into a valley of quiet, or you will be a candidate for the asylum in two weeksf, So he put his business in the hands of a clerk and went to llnele I5en's, where he had not been seen for fourteen years. 'Now Uncle lien lived on a farm and was rich and as strong an onion crop. NVhen he reached 'hiis Uncle Ben's, they received him with great joy and piled well-cooked viands on his plate like the wreck of a box car. After supper they sat up witl1 him and asked him about the relatives. He said he had received a letter from Vnclc Ezra last week, but they knew that Vncle Ezra had been shot in the neighhorls chicken coop three years ago. So at one, they shoo-ed him to bed. Now the spare room in which he slept was right under the roof and there were bundles of corn which tickled him in the ribs. And the four boys slept with him, for the bed was wide tNuf Ucdj. At about the fourth hour after midnight llnr-le Ben slapped him on the back and said. Hustle out of it. for the liver and baeon waiteth. NVhen they had eaten, his Vncle Hen spoke, saying, NCome, let us stroll about the farm. And they walked about eleven miles. And his llncle Ben sat him on a wagon and taught him how to load hay, Then they gathered themselves together and walked four miles into the woods to chop trees. And they walked back to supper. And the morning and the evening were the first day. William Jones wished he were dead. Then l'ncle lien wished some fun. so they 'hooked up a team and drove nine miles to Belcher 's ranch and danced until the second hour in the morning. NVhen the next day was come-which wasnlt long for already the night was far spent-his Uncle Ben took him out and taught him how to make fence rails. And that night there was a wedding and they danced and made merry and drank and ate and when they went to bed at three o'clock, XVillian1 Jones prayed 'heid be dead before breakfast. Hut breakfast had an early start and got there first. That night they went to a spelling school, and they got home early, fone hour after midnightt, l'nele Ben sat and smoked. And when William Jones went to bed that night he bethought himself of Seventy-one a dose of strychnine he had with him, and he said his prayers wearily and took it. But the youngest boy was restless that night and kicked all the poison out of him in less than ten seconds. And in the morning when it was yet night, Uncle Ben taught him to dig a ditch. And when evening came there was a revival meeting at Ebenezer Methodist Church and there were t'hree regular preachers and two exhortists and a Baptist Evangelist. And when midnight was over, they went home and sat up and talked until bedtime. Now when Jones was at home, hexleft his desk at the fifth hour in the afternoon, went to bed at the third hour after sunset, and rose not till the sun :was high in the heavens. So the next day Jones got himself home, sent for his physician and said he was tired to death, then he turned his face to the wall and died. And the physician and his friends mourned and said, Alas, he did not rest soon enough! But his Uncle Ben said it was a pity, but Jones was too awfully lazy to live. But Jones cared not what t'hey said. He was dead. lil. ELIZABETH BICFARLAND, '24, The Last of the Nancy Lee Jim VVest had been on the staff of reporters of the Herald for about five months, but so far it seemed to him that the editor did not even know he was alive. However, on opening his desk one morning, he discovered, with a nervous little thrill, a note from the Shipping News Editor. Underneath it was a ticket and a roll of bills. Take the 8 :43 train for the docks. Report to Capt. Vileatherby on board the 'Nancy Lee.' She is taking her last trip. You are to go with then and report the voyage. Ticket and expenses are enclosed. SHIPPING News Eorron. The Nancy Lee was a wooden pilot boat of the old type. and was making her last trip between Baltimore and Boston before a. new steel one was eoln- missioned. Any of the other reporters, cub, or with twenty year's experience behind them, would give a week 's pay to get this assignment. Jim knew t'hen that he had not been entirely overlooked. He looked at his watch and saw that he had only five minutes to make the train. An hour later he stood on the deck of the Nancy Lee, gazing around him with unconcealed curiosity. Hello, sonnyg I saw your hat coming over the edge and came up to meet you. My name's Vyleatherby, what's yours H? A grizzled old sea dog as Jim would have termed him, greeted him heartily. VVest introduced himself and with a proud little feeling accounted for his presence. What! exclaimed the captain, You aren't the Jim NVest we were expecting. It looks like there has been funny business going on. However, he said, as he saw a look of dismay come into the youngster's face, if there's Seventy-two been a mistake, we can't wait to change now. Come along, and get introduced to the rest of the boys. Jim was forthwith introduced to 'fthe boys, whose welcome however. was not overwarm. He could see that they had not been expecting Jim West, the cub. Clearly, they had wanted Jim West, the Herald's veteran shipping news reporter. The cub fervently thanked someone for blundering. Later he wrote in his diary, 4'Someone made mistake. Jim VVest, the greatest writer of sea stories in United States, just got back from South America last night, and his assignment got into my desk by mistake. But Captain Weatherby has promised to help me, and we 'll write such a story as YVest never dreamed of. When supper time came he ate with the pilots. Their talk was rough and he could not break into the conversation. After slipper however, he tried desperately to enter into the talk. How do you know when a boat needs a pilot? he ventured. Last voyage, answered one of the men, we had two trained parrots that flew over and asked them, but we ran short on provisions and had to cat them. This time we intend mailing postal cardsf, Don't kid the poor boy,'l said Captain VVeatherby, he's new to this game and feels bad enough already. Just come into my cabin and you can ask me all the questions you want, Jim. Jim went with 'him and after awhile the Captain fell to reminiscing. The cub, true to his paper, got out his note book and took down notes. At eight bells Jim rolled in. He slept dreamlessly, and about four bells he was awakened by the heavy rolling of the ship. It was so heavy that he had to sit up and hold on to the sides of the bunk to keep from rolling out. Then there came a wiolent lurch and he was flung to the middle of the tloor. He heard the sound of inrushing water and quickly made his way up to the door leading on to the deck. The door was partly open and Captain VVeat'herby was forcing his way through. Jim helped with a push and then followed to the deck, where a scene of wildest confusion met their eyes. One mast was broken and was dragging overboard, the sails were blown to tatters, the braces were flying everywhere, and worst of all there was no one to be seen. We are the only ones left, shouted the Captain. The others were all on deck and the waves must have swept them off. Come over here and hang on this hatch cover. VVe will go off with the next wave! Jim made his way to the Captain and both fastened themselves to the big, wooden cover. Then a big wave came and picked up the men and cover bodily and carried them far from the Nancy Leef' They floated for several 'hours in silence, conserving their strength. Then the Captain said: I don 't believe Illl get through this. There is something inside of me that hurts, where the wave knocked me against the doorf, After a time,-it seemed like days to them, they were picked up by a steamer bound for New York. The Captain was unconscious by this time and had to be put under the care of a. doctor, but Jim, after a sleep and a drink of coffee was able to sit up and tell his story. ' The next day the Captain sent for Jim. W'ell, Jim, he said, You had better write your story now. XVrite it now so you can read it to me. Illl not live much longer. Jim went to his room and started to write. He wrote for two hours and then came and read his efforts to the Captain. Seventy-three .5-+-. ,. No, said Captain Weatherby. that doesn't sound right. It has too many big words and common people like us would not like it. This is something like it ought to go, .... He started on the story. He talked as if he were inspired, using common words, and the result was a story that would go straight to the hearts of the people. When he finished he sank back in his chair as if weakened by his effort. His breath grew shorter and shorter, and then it stopped entirely. Captain Weatherby was dead. Several days later Jim walked into the office and there met Mr. Vilest. Hello, youngster, Mr, West said, you can give me your notes and I'll write up the story.' ' No, thank you. I'll write it myself. said Jim as he walked to his desk and began to write. When Jim wrote the story, refusing the help of the veteran Vtlest. he told the Captain's story. With all the appeal of simplicity of word and idea as it was given to him he wrote straight into the heart of his reader. g JAMES L. FICKINGER, '2-le. Cheerfulness Cheerfulness is a state of mind which causes good-nature, happiness, and untroubled thoughts. It is the most easily discerned of all characteristics. One sees it in a person 's actions, hears it in his speech, sees it in his appearance, and even feels it in his very presence. One is not blessed with this happy quality when he does his work sulkily, whining about his hardship or oppression. Nor is it to be found in one who exaggerates or continually speaks of unfortunate conditions. It is rather to be discovered and felt in the optimist with his happy outlook, his pleasing and comforting speech, and his easy, almost happy-go- lucky, although not careless, manner. His appearance, never neglected or dejected, seems to breathe eheerfulnessg he is a friend of man. If we wish to have as a friend one who will help us. one who will inspire us to greater efforts, raise us to greater heights, yes, make men and powerful men of us, let us select a person who is himself blessed by cheerfulness. His effect on us will be marvelous. His spirit will radiate to and become imbedded in us and we will be better off for the experience. Cheerfulness cannot be kept down, cannot be held wit'hin any given bounds, therefore a single optimist may change the crestfallen spirits of a whole group and produce from a number of dejected beings a collection of happiness and content. This collection is far more valuable than the greatest art collection in the world, worth far more than any gold and silver. Cheerfulness is no less beneficial to the owner than to his neighbors. Let us contrast .it with grouchiness. Cheerfulness produces ambitiong grouchiness, dejection. Cheerfulness gives good health through a clear mind, while grouch- iness makes the habits grow lax. Cheerfulness raises confidence and optimism, grouchiness implants doubt. And finally, while the cheerful man is a blessing to his community the grouch is a black spot on its reputation. TED WOLFE, '25, Seventy-four T-l c What's ln 'a Dream? Bob VValker felt exceptionally happy as he left school. There were two weeks of Christmas vacation ahead of him, and this joyful anticipation was greatly increased as he remembered that in his pocket was a tive dollar bill which had come that morning in a letter from his uncle. I'll have to break it soon, so there is no time like the present, he declared to his friend. His companion offered no objection to the idea, so a banana split apiece was stowed away. The enticing window of a bakery presented another idea which sent half a dozen cream puffs in pursuit of the banana splits. Candy served to take up more space and helped put in time until the evening dinner. The dinner at the Walker 's that evening was a little out of the ordinary. Starting out with a fruit cocktail, the meal proceeded with a rich meat loaf with mint sauce. French fried potatoes, lobster salad, creamed asparagus, stuffed celery, pickled peaches, and a few other side dishes. Naturally Bob had a full and somewhat unpleasant feeling. However he always had room for dessert, and 'he decided the question of whether it would be caramel ice cream or mince pie by liberally accepting both. The cheese balls and nuts, he nibbled at rather feebly and automatically. After a necessary rest he went in search of his chum and they went to a movie. Then they took a walk which seemed to revive Bob somewhat. 'tGee, I feel kind of hungry, said John suggestively, 'A lf' you like mince pie, come up to my house and bring your nose-bag,'l was the reply. Oh boy, lead me to it. 1 Although far from being hungry himself, the sight of John 's great enjoy- ment of the pie prodded Bob into similar action. Soon after his friend 's departure he went to bed. but he did not immediately fall asleep. When troubled slumber finally came upon hm, he experienced a, falling sensation similar to that of 'his childhood dreams. He found himself sitting in al desert of hot sand. Setting out in the direction in which he hoped to find the Nile, he chanced upon a picnic party of the W. C. T. ll.. who allayed his t'hirst with a can of evaporated grape juice. Farther along he stopped to chat with a hilarious group of Eskimos who were fishing from the top of the Sphinx. After talking with them he learned that they were going to take a special course in skiing in interior Africa and they would work their way by selling ice to those unfortunates who lived there. When he came to the Nile he would have liked to have taken a swim but he was afraid of the walruses. . Then he was surrounded by a band of winged monkeys who with unneces- sary roughness crowned him-as a k.ing probably, and carried him away in triumph to the heart of the jungle. Each time he tried to escape. they stren- uously objected and punished him by taking him up in the lower branches of the trees and letting him dangle close to the ground. Then they would wait until a leopard or a lion would creep up and just as the animal sprang, they would jerk the boy out of reach. However, they were foolish enough to try it on an elephant. He seized the bait with his trunk and hurled him far over the tree tops. Unable to move, he lay where he fell and listened in terror to the noises around him. As night closed slowly in. he could hear the .increased activity of animal life-its crashings, grunts, roars and snarls. He seemed to hear something creep towards him, and he waited in agony for it to leap upon him. Yet it did not. Suddenly he felt something near him. A huge hand crept up his body and closed about his throat. Another powerful hand seized him by the hair and he Seventy-five -l--- l -.' jiil v J was lifted slowly upwards. A scream burst from him, and he awoke--to stare into his brother's face. Gee, I thought you were a gorilla, he gasped. You must have thought you were a burglar alarm, was his brother's reply. Cut it out, and give the rest of us a chance to sleep. RICHARD JONES, '24. Like Father, Like Son Rrrrrrrrrrrrring! He1lo! Wuzzat? Yes. No! ! Dad, I think that call was for me, wasn't it? Don Burke stood behind his father, every feature displaying wrath and aroused stubbornness. There was something in Burke, Sr. 's face that answered Don's question without verbal corroboration. HI think, Dad, that from the standpoint of courtesy, at least, I ought to be allowed to answer my own phone calls without any insulting interference from the family. If that was the call I was expecting, it 'll take flowers and candy or theatre tickets, all of which will come out of your pocket, to explain after your insulting answer. And furthermore-. Say, are you my son, or aren't you 'Z Since when can you talk to me like that? Yes, it was that cigarette-smoking, whiskey-drinking, peroxide-blond girl of yours that asked for you. And as soon as you learn to hold your head up and run with respectable folks instead of disreputable soaks, I'll let you answer your own phone calls. Flowers and theatre tickets, out of my pocket, is that so? NVe'll see when you get any money from me to drag my name in the dirt ! Dad! You can 't talk that way about Lollie when I'm around. I don 't know where you got such an opinion of her. Why, Dad, she's a dandy girl, she 's more like Mother than any girl I ever met. I never saw her smoke, and she's only taken one drink, and that was on New Year 's Eve, and most anyone would excuse her then. Boy, why are you talking so loudly? Donnie, you know you shouldn't talk to your father like that. What is it all about, not Lollie again, I hope? Mother Burke appeared at the head of the stairs. Representative of the highest type of modern mother, without a single gray hair or a wrinkle, and still able to dress like the young married kids, she, unlike her husband, had not lost the viewpoint of youth and usually in such arguments as the one now in progress she tactfully sided with her son. So to him now, she addressed her question. Yes, Mother. Dad 's just cut me off and insulted Lollie as well. I don't think I care to discuss it further. Clapping on his hat, Don made for the door. The two parents regarded each other anxiously, each aware of his own responsibility in the matter, yet both endeavoring to excercise it in exactly con- trary ways. Mrs. Burke broke the expressive silence. Don't you t'hink, Father that you've been a little hard on poor Donnie? l think Lollie's all right, and it's his first love affair, you know. You 've never even talked to her, have you? I think, as Don does, that you are jumping at conclusions. Your opinion of her is not based on fairness, at least. Huh! Well, I'll tell you why I don 't like her. I found a note Donnie hadn't finished yet, addressed to thadt Lollie. Mush, mush, mush, all the way through. 'It always gives me a thrill to put my arms around you, dear Lollie,' Seventy-six and 'How that last kiss lingers on my lips.' tYour presence turns night into day. When you leave, you leave me with the bluesf Bunk! Bosh! I hate to be pessimistic, but I can 't help thinking what this generation 's coming to. Father, are you getting old? So old that you've forgotten when you courted me 'V' Then abashed at her own forwardncss, Mercy, I smell something burning! And Mrs. Burke rushed from the room. K Taken rather by surprise and a little indignant at his wife's intimation, Burke, Sr. retreated behind his newspaper. But Mrs. Burke, in several little trips past the door, found that the paper remained in the same position for some two hours or more, as mute testimony that her incidental allusion to their own courtship, had taken the desired effect. Humming a gay little tune, she ran upstairs to the old garret and opened one of the old. old trunks. Revcrently, she handled each garment. What sweet, quaint old memories they aroused! Dainty, pretty, little things that had so thrilled her when she had been a girl. VVhen she had been a girl! She sighed and laughed to relieve her emotion. Yes, there they were, still held together by that little blue ribbon which she had tied herself so many-oh, how many-years ago. Reverently she lifted them into her lap. Yes, these were the ones. Out of the pack. she selected two very worn envelopes and slipping out the letters, read them, read each again, and then re-read them. For half an hour she sat there, smiling, eyes closed, only her lips moving occasionally. Tying up the packet, still keeping out the two letters, however, Mother Burke replaced it in the trunk. Very subduedly she walked downstairs, and left the two letters in a conspicuous place on her husband 's dresser. Dinner will be ready before long, Mrs. Burke called in to her husband as she passed the doorway once more. A few minutes later, she heard his footsteps on the stairs. She hoped he would find the letters and read them. She wondered if Don would be home before his father would come down. It would be so much better if he did. Lo, Mother I That was Don now. Evidently he was feeling better. Upstairs, within Burke, Sr's. breast, Conscience and Prejudice were waging a battle for supremacy. For hours. Burke had been weighing his wife is allusion to their own youth. After his talk to Don, it made him feel a little guilty. Just a little, Prejudice still had the upper hand. But the discovery of the letters on his dresser, turned the tide of battle for Conscience. Surprised and wondering as to their origin, Burke, Sr. opened them and recognized them as his own courtship. Sheepishly, he began to read the first one. Sunshine of my life read the salutation. He was almost afraid to read further. Had he really written such a thing? There was even some poetry: My heart was like a desert Until one happy day The thought of you took root and grew, And blossomed like the May. Hastily, he picked up the other one, it might not be so bad. Flower of my heart, it began. And down further, My love is like the sung may you bask in it :-like the rain, may you iiourish in it: my love is like Niagara, may you perish in it! Evidently, when it came to writing love-letters, Don was just a chip off the old block! But Burke, Sr. was thinking. How unjust he'd been. how wrong he'd been! He had never even talked to Lollie, how unfair of him to form an opinion under the circumstances. And if Mother thought she was all right, she must be. He had been no worse a lover than Don, anyhow! If parents Seventy-seven would only remember their own youths, perhaps this generation wouldn't seem so bad after all. It was certainly a revelation to Burke, Sr.l Prejudice had fled, Conscience reigned. He heard Don 's voice downstairs. Right now was the best time to make an apology. He found his wife and son waiting dinner for him. Don, my son, I want to apologize right now. I want you to forget every- thing. I'm sorry I've been such a bear. How much money do you think you can get along on a week? Make it high because I deserve some sort of punish- ment. And say, bring Lollie around some day, I want to see what kind of a daughter she 's going to make. She'l1 have to go some, though, if she expects to beat your mother here, when it comes down to being the original helpful wife. Thanks, Dad. It 's mutual g I knew you 'd come around. Mother Burke smiled contentedly. HOWARD WEIERIBACH, '25, A Literary Light Oh, fellows, listen to this! Bud 0wen picked up the letter he had been reading and read it aloud to the two other boys in the room-Jim Thorpe and Bill Todd. Dear Buddy, Am writing in a hurry, but I just wanted to let you know that your cousin. Sarah Fox is going to Sanford and I want you to meet her at the train and take her to Mrs. Crewes' boarding house. Of course, Buddy, you don't need to pay much attention to her after that-I know how you are with girls-but please be nice to her. Her train arrives 5:10 P. ill. VVednesday. The two boys looking at each other, then at Buddy. burst out laughing. Gee, Bud! Shels probably tall and gawky and an old maid! Jim exclaimed. UAW! you fellows don 't need to laugh! Think how you'd feel. I-- Bud 's sentence was cut off by John Travers talso called Budl. Bursting into the room, waving a telegram in his hand he shouted, For the love of Pete, Bud l Bill ejaeulated. XVhat's the matter? Bud sank down in a chair, throwing the telegram on Bill 's knee. Read that, will you! he said, breathlessly. Out loud,iBill read the following message: 'Cousin from Albany, arrives 5:10 train Wednesday. Meet her at station. Is writer. Mo'rHER.' VVell, that 'S just about as bad as me.l Bud Owen exclaimed and he gave his letter to John to read. Well, isn't that funny! Tell you what, we ,ll be having some time. Oh! Bud groaned. I've got to go, kids. I'll leave you two in your misery. Come on, Jim, and Bill and Jim went out of the room. Guess I'll go, too, Bud Travers said. Have to get ready, I suppose--- it 's about 3:30 now. Well, when do you expect to go-today ? Bud asked. Seventy-eight el Why sure, this is VVednesday 1 'l John looked at Bud. YVell, so long I ' ' and he left Bud fussing over the fact that it was Wednesday, not Tuesday, as he had thought. Five o'cloek found Bud Owen down at the station, pacing up and down the platform. He looked around for Hud Travers who had apparently not arrived. After what seemed an hour to Bud, he heard the whistle of the train. In a few minutes it arrived, puffing and snorting. Only a few people got off, but Bud saw immediately, a tall, thin lady with a long sharp nose, pinch glasses and a. pointed chin. Bud walked over to her and with a gulp, said: Are-are you Sar-Sarah Fox? Yes, I suppose you 're Bud, aren't you? she asked. Wh-er yes, er-we'll take a taxi to Mrs. Crewes'. Shall we? Bud asked as he picked up her baggage. 'WVhy yes-certainly. Miss Fox seemed to stare at Bud through and through. So this is my cousin---Sarah Fox. Oh boy!', Bud said to himself. Just as they drove oif in the taxi, Bud saw Bud Travers get out of his ear and go over to the station. VVish I'd looked around and taken a peep at his dame, Bud thought. Wonder if she 's as bad as this? and he looked at the straight and stiff form of Sarah Fox beside him. They soon reached the boarding house at Mrs. Crewes, where Bud deposited Miss Fox and her luggage. He hurried off but not quickly enough to miss seeing Bud Travers whiz by in his machine with about the cutest girl he had ever seen sitting beside him. Bud gasped. Could that be l3ud's literary light as the boys had called her? Of course a writer could be young and pretty, but-- Bud had rather imagined she would be-well, different from that! Bud didn't see Bud Travers until after dinner when he spied him in a corner with some boys, his coat on a11d holding his hat i11 his hand. Bud hurried over to him. Come here, I want to see you--up in my room,', he pulled at his sleeve John turned around and then walked along with Bud. Now tell me all about it, Bud said as they sat down,- and where are you going, all dolled up ? About what? I lm going out with my cousin--she 's a, peach l John added this last to tease Bud. Oh, I thought you didn 't care a rap about this literary lightli' Bud snorted. John looked up. VVell-I ,ve sorta ' changed my opinion-you see.-I guess she isn 't so much of a writer, seemed rather funny when I asked her about it. John paused then, looking at his watch, jumped up. Gee Whiz! I 've got to go-it's getting late, and before Bud could say anything, John had gone. Well I'll beg- The next day Bud went down to the Palace or Pal, the drug store where all the college boys went. As he was standing there, Bud Travers' literary light came in. She looked at Bud, hesitated a moment, then walked over to him. ' You're Bud Owen, aren't you?l' Bud' sta.red at her. Why-er, yes! he stammered. I thought so. You see. I've seen your picture-but tell me-who's Bud Travers, and how does he make out that I 'm his cousin ? Bud only looked-then- Seventy-nine ...-il-i Wha-what, er-let's sit down ! They went over to one of the tables and sat down. I 'm Sarah Fox--you know, she went on but Bud interrupted her. Then you're my cousin and--fand you're not the literary-li- Bud stopped. What would she think if he called her a literary light? Literary what? Then Sarah laughed. There must be some grand mistake here! So Bud told her about the letter he had received, and the telegram Bud Travers had received, and of what had followed. Then this other Sarah Fox must be Bud Traver's cousin and-the literary light ! Sarah said laughing. Bud looked at her. So this was his cousin. She was a peach ! That night it was Bud Travers who saw Bud Owen all dolled up and going out, and who saw him later with Sarah Fox at the Pal, He walked over to them and with a glance at Bud started to say something to Sarah. Wh-Won't you meet my cousin-llliss Sarah Fox Bud said mis- chievously to the astonished young man. Mr, John Travers. By the way, Bud, your cousin is staying at Mrs. Crewes' boarding house if you want to take her out! She 's our-your literary light! VICTORIA WEHRUM, '27. Disappointed Willie was hurrying home from the village just as fast as his fat, little legs would carry him. He had some very exciting news for the family and felt. oh! so important, to be the bearer of it. He took the short-cut through the orchard and tumbled in at the kitchen door, all out of breath. His sister was too busy with the baking to pay any attention to his breathless burst of information. It was too regular an oceurence to excite her, and she said, impatiently, O, Buddy, go away. Can 't you see I'm busy? And, anyway, Paw told us last night that they'd decided to have the fair on Saturday, if it didn 't rain. Willie was crestfallen. That must have been after I was in bed, he reiiected sorrowfully. He missed every thing by going to bed so early. No one ever paid any attention to him, it seemed. Oh, well ! He'd go out and tell Hattie. She wouldn't find any fault with him. Indeed, nog for Hattie, you must know, was Willie is pet pig. There were pets enough of all kinds on Mr. Randis farm. Dogs, eats, guinea hens. and even young calves had been bestowed on Willie in his infancy to keep him out of the pig-pen, but that alone held an attraction for him. Hattie was a very small pig, with a very long pedigree. Grandpa Rand had told Willie all about the first Hattie that had won a Blue Ribbon at a country fair when he was a. little boyg and just to think that his own Hattie was the descendant of so noble a pig. It was certainly very interesting. So Willie found his way slowly to the pen where Hattie was enjoying her daily mud massage. As he clapped his hands and whistled, she slowly emerged from the mire and thrust her snout eagerly through the slats of the'pen. He gazed at her in an abstracted way. He had an inspiration! He would take Hattie to the Country Fair! She could not help winning a blue ribbon. He had her pedigree in the very topmost drawer of his dresser and-further proof of her Eighty ega- e a worth,-the family album contained a portrait of Grandpa when he was a boy. proudly holding the first Hattie on his knee, the Hattie with the Blue Ribbon. VVillie was no longer thoughtful. He had two days to get that pig in first class condition for the fair. He realized that first of all she must have a bath, which would mean getting her into the house. His mother disapproved of such action, so there was no hope from that quarter. His father always enforced such laws very vigorously, as VVillie had often discovered to his sorrow. He couldn't depend on Nellie to keep his secret because he had told on her for borrowing Ma's one pair of silk hose-no, indeed, Nellie wouldn't help him. He'd have to do it all himself. That evening when the coast was clear he went out to the pen and got Hattie. He slipped back to the house and opened the front door cautiously. Ah V they were all in the kitchen. He took Hattie upstairs and thrust her under his bed and then went, as unconeernedly as possible, to the kitchen, where he announced his intention of taking a bath. His mother dropped the kettle she was scouring, with a clatter and stared at him in astonishment. NVhy, VVillie Rand, this is only Thursday. What is the matter with you? Nuthin ' Maw, only I kind a thought I was dirty after playing all afternoon with Hattie. VVell, I s'pose so. Go ask your Paw. VVillie readily got the consent of his Paw and hastened upstairs, where for half an hour, he painstakingly scrubbed the ofended Hattie, whose squeals were growing louder each moment. At last the trying ordeal was over and Willie, to disarm suspicion, washed his face and hands and back of his ears. He then went to bed, first putting Hattie in his closet till after his Maw should come up to kiss him goodnight. Everything went splendidly and on Saturday morning he got up very early with the rest of the family, who were all excited. but none more so than Willie. His Maw was taking a huge tub of creamy butter, his sister, Nellie, had a cake, and his Paw was taking a young calf which he expected would take a prize. Willie wasn't going to be left out, so he appeared at the breakfast table with Hattie-such a nice white Hattie that no one recognized her. The family were duly surprised and pleased and gave him permission to take her along. They made an early start for the village and VVil1ie became so inter- ested in giving Hattie a comfortable place in the crowded wagon that he forgot the most important thing, the pedigree! They got to the fair and everything went splendidly. The big show arrived when VVillie discovered his loss. The Pedigree! at home, safely hidden in the dresser drawer! XVith sinking heart he spoke to the judges, determined that Hattie should receive the award. I-iravely, he rattled off the pedigree from memory, but alas-in his excitement he forgot half of it and could only retire to the stall to await anxiously the final decree of the judges,-waited anxiously and in vain. The coveted Blue Ribbon went to some other white pig without nearly as many manners as Hattie could boast. HENRIETTA WISNER, '25. Nearly a King As I was hurrying through a street in St. Louis someone took hold of my arm and stopped me. VVhat do you want? I cried, I must Catch the next train. Wait! commanded the man quietly. Eighty-one me fa For the first time I looked at him. What was my surprise to find an old man clothed i11 rags staring at me. But what rags! Anyone could tell that they had once been royal robes-now royal rags. But at that moment even the strangeness of his appearance could not attract me. Hold off. I commanded, but as he did not seem inclined to obey, I demanded angrily, Who are you? Vilhat do you want? Hurry! I must catch this train to Chicago. ' You must wait, 'he said quietly withdrawing his hand but holding me with his eyes. It is very important. Nearly losing my mind I yelled at him, Let me go! I do not know you. You can have nothing to say that will interest me. The old man hesitated no longer. You must listen! You shall hear me? he cried in a tense low voice. I 'have come clear from Memphis to tell you. That is the reason for this, he said, indicating his tattered garments but never removing his eyes from me. Then he began his narrative in a voice, low, but full of excited yet sup- pressed feeling. My name is Rhuba. Years ago the grandfather of my late master disowned his only son, Rupert. Rupert was the rightful prince of- Yes, yes, I cried, But what has this to do with me? Be patient. Rhuba is slow but- I should say he is, I muttered. Yet I could not help listening to the old man. When Rupert 's father died he left his son only a beautiful ring of gold set with a solitary ruby. A peculiar inscription was engraved on the jewel which none could read. However, the disinherited prince was found to be missing from the country. So- I looked after my departing train with longing eyes. There goes my train. I sighed but the remark went unheeded. So the ring was put in the Royal Treasury. Ever since, the wise men of the land have been puzzling over the mysterious inscription. Until three months ago it remained a secret. Now, however, it has been read and- What did it say? I demanded excitedly, entirely forgetting my belated journey. It said, Rupert, if you remember the vault of your grandfather in the hidden room, go there. You will find a document addressed to you. You may not have this, however, unless you vow before witnesses to worship our sacred emblem, the wild boar, for the rest of your life. If you will do this I will leave you my throne. But not long before the message was discovered we had had word of Rupert 's death. As you are the son of the so-called Rupert Huynon. I present you with this beautiful and valuable ring. He drew from his pocket the ruby. I gasped. I had never seen anything so exquisite in my life. It was almost indescribable. I snatched the ring from the fellow 's grasp and gazed at it almost hypnotized by its beauty. At last I looked up and the old man spoke again. We regret that we cannot oHer you the throne which is yours by right, but no one except those native-born have ever risen to that great honor. Since your great-great-grandfather's hidden vault was a secret to all but Rupert, I am afraid you will also be deprived of the hidden legacy. God keep you. I looked dazedly around to thank the old fellow but Rhuba was gone. It rather bewildered me to think that in those last ten minutes I had come into the possession of a beautiful ring, probably not to be duplicated in value and I had been nearly a king!

Standardizing the Sewihi The first questions facing the 192-l staif were the general characteristics of the book they were to publish, such as the dimensions, color scheme, number of pages, and arrangement of the ditferent departments. The greatest of these were undoubtedly the first and third. The former was settled by the printer who showed the staff the impracticability of resorting to any other size than their predecessors had used. The latter, however, was more difficult of solution. lt Eightylfive , -1,1 'W' was decided to increase the number of pages to a hundred and sixty by adding a page or two to each of the existing departments, or by adding another section to those already established. llowever, after more careful consideration, the thought suggested itself of standardizing the High School Annual, and the old plans for enlargement were abandoned. lt was deemed much better not to outdo preceding staffs in elaborateness or size, which after all, amounts ultimately to merely cost, but to try to surpass them in the quality of the material between the covers. And this, we hope, will be the sentiment of each succeeding staff. NVe have said sentiment, for it would be unwise to attempt any definite standardization, since, at some time, it may become imperative to enlarge the Annual by a few pages to accomodate the steadily lengthening Senior section. No specific price could ever be established, since a higher than usual fluctuation of cost, might necessitate the lowering of the quality of the annual to keep within the specified bounds. So, for these reasons, it has been deemed wisest to make the matter merely one of precedent, and not of compulsion. We feel sure each staff will realize the added value of a standardized book in regard to size, simplicity of cover and other art work, and comparative cost, and to them we extend our best wishes and heartiest hopes for their success. May they profit by our mistakes! School Spirit During the past year, probably no question of school life has been the subject of quite so much discussion as that of school spirit. From the first of the year, when the sale of football tickets fell to an alarming leveljscarceiy a week has passed in which each student has not been reminded of his duty to the school in regard to his own individual display of school spirit. You have heard it quite frequently in chapel talks, you have often heard your friends discuss it, your teachers have lectured you concerning it, and you have read it many times in The Oracle. And now, after all this discussion, just what is school spirit? School spirit is undoubtedly the unanimous participation of the entire student body in the various activities of the school. lf you will reflect for a moment on the successes of the present year. you will realize that they have been successful only because the whole High School has entered into them. The football season, when the student body was finally induced to get behind the movement, the basketball season, when by continual chapel talks and constant reminders, the student body supported the team magnificently, the wonderful way in which the benefit movie was put over, and the High School's excellent work with the Bond Issue, all prove that spirit is not lacking in the students, but that they must be given some incentive before they will give their unanimous support to any activity. But school spirit should be unanimous and spontaneous. There are always some few in every class who are leaders and to whom school spirit means more than anything else in their High School life, and you will find that these same students receive the greatest benefit from their High School course. So School spirit is only another name for whole-hearted and unanimous support and parti- cipation in the High School activities. By displaying school spirit, you are not only benefitting S. H. S.. but you yourself are deriving the most from your education. Is it not worth while to sacrifice a little of your personal time to engage in High School life and its activities?

There are probably three causes to which this can be attributed, a sudden change of coaches in the fall, green material. and a lack of confidence in themselves. The decision of Mr. Kline to quit coaching and continue his studies was followed by the appointment of Mr. Wieand as coach. Due to this change, prac- tice was started about two weeks later than usual and the boys missed a very valuable part of their training. It also wrought the handicap of a strange coach and strange players, as of course it took some time for the coach to discover what each man could do. The late start and new coach were a particular handicap this year as the material was green, that is most of them were not regulars from last year who could be put into their places and be expected to play a good game. We were especially short of old players for in addition to those lost by graduation. 3lcCacken and Mould had left school. and Hanable and Watson, although in school, were unable to play due to injuries received the previous year. Over-contidence on the part of a team is a serious drawback but lack ol' confidence in their own ability is just as serious, if not more so. Due to the loss of so many men and constantly being told by outsiders that they would have a poor team, the boys came to the point where they actually believed it. I think I am justified in making this statement for in every game with one exception, it was the first part of the game which was the most poorly played. After finding that the other team was not so much better than they were, the boys would settle down and play the type of game of which they were capable. The material as a whole was green but was not as poor as was expe.-ted. Several of the new boys developed fast and by re-arranging a few of the vet- erans, a fairly strong team was developed. If Sewickley had had the advantage of the first two weeks of training the result of the season would no doubt have been much different. Also if the season had had a few more weeks to go, Sewick- ley would probably have surprised the football world for in the last few weeks of the season her progress was marked. The Bellevue, Avalon and Coraopolis games were the best played, from a Sewickley view point. The Bellevue game was lost through poor judgment, the Avalon game by hard luck. The Cory game was so well played that it deserves a paragraph by itself. Every player was out to win the tinal game of the season, and every one went about it as if he knew exactly what to do. The mud alone kept down the score. Eighty-nine fo- ,xr- L 'FA - fi ,, - 2- f 0 Ly Ninety RL i f 1 Every man played brilliantly in this game, and to mention any one in particular would be to miss one equally as brilliant. Following the Beaver Falls game, Mr. Wieand gave up coaching and Mr. Kline returned with Mr. Stewart as his assistant. The return to Mr. Kline's system of coaching brought about a new spirit among the boys and practice was begun with as much spirit as is usually evident at the beginning of a season. That the work was not in vain is shown by the improvement noted. There were but two players injured during the year. Haley, after a brilliant start in the Ambridge game, suffered a broken collar bone and Mitchell so injured his arm in the Dormont game that he was unable to play for the remain- der of the season. Injuries received last year kept Jack Watson, our captain, and Hanable out of most of the games and needless to say, the line missed their weight and experience. The squad was banqueted at the Seventh Aivenue Hotel and entertained at the Davis Theatre, following the close of the season. McComb was elected captain for next year at this time. The boys presented Mr. Kline with a gold football in appreciation of his efforts at the close of the season. The men receiving letters were as follows, Watson, McComb, Aston, Gillian, M. Jones, Foye, P. Jones, Murray, Dean, R. Jones, R. McPherson, Beall, llluegge, and Haley. The squad and season 's record follows: Backs-McComb, Aston, Gillian, M. Jones. Foye, Hunt, Haley.

EY BOYS W W ET A H-J EJ 0-rue N I Boy's Basketball If we did not know that there is no such thing as fate or luck we would be inclined to say that athletics in Sewickley Iligh School are closely watched over by either the one or the other. The fate which apparently guides 01' directs our sports is not always unkind and neither is it always kind but it seems to delight in bringing about the unexpected. When we decide that our material is poor and we are p1'epared for a poor season and are ready to accept our defeats grace- fully we suddenly tind one or two athletes of whom not much was expected coming to the front, and our season 's record is much brighter than we could possibly have hoped. Un the other hand when everything looks bright for a successful season this same fate seems to decree that we shall have an unsuccess- ful or at least only a partially successful one. I am sure that if my readers will review the last several seasons in all sports they will see and agree with me that fate has played this trick on us on numerous occasions. These continuous sur- prises at least serve the purpose of keeping our excitement at fever heat and probably create a greater interest in athletics. Fate played a strong part in our past basketball season for at the start with all of last year's team in school we were looking forward to a very success- ful season, but the season had no more than opened when McCracken left school to go to Kiski and a few weeks later Haley quit school. This left both forward positions open and the team was forced to play with two inexperienced men in these positions. The season was opened, as usual, with the Alumni game and we were quite pleased with our victory, especially so when we note the number of stars who were in the Alumnils lineup. Our next game was with Duquesne and resulted in a defeat which was soon forgotten in our victories over Finley and Ambridge. The latter was probably the most exciting game played on the home floor. Although Avalon was not in our section of the league this year, the game with them, as usual, was hard fought and was much closer than the score indicates for it was only in the last few minutes that they scored several lucky goals. J. R. CToderi Mclilaster, physical director at the Y. M. U. A.. coached the team and deserves praise for the work he did under the handicap of losing two valuable men and for the new material he developed. The squad was composed of the following men: Hanable, McComb, NVheat. McCullough, J. Barber, Dick Jones, Morris Jones. and Hanlon. The Junior Ninety-two jxcvqp W 4 L- ,,.T.,l- 'i' ,! ,. Y TJ 1, .1 , 0 V slimy +2177 f - V- 7 .rfei Ninety-three varsity was composed of Challis, Murray, P. Barber, Murdock, Cannon, Hunt, and Beall. Hanable captained the team and played center, a position for which he was especially suited on account of his height and long arms. McComb was moved from a guard position to forward and became the team 's leading scorer. McCul- lough, playing his fourth year as guard, played an excellent defensive game and succeeded in scoring more points than he did in the other three years. Morris Jones played the other guard position in a majority of the games and was a con- sistent performer throughout the season. Wheat, Barber, and Dick Jones were the new men on the squad and each gave an excellent account of himself in every game in which he appeared. Much is expected of the former two next year as they will both be back in school. Challis was manager of the team.

L Y- ' E-.MW -J, Girls' Basketball This year's captain, Helen Beaumont, proved herself a consistent point getter. Helen 's total was fifty-three field goals. Handicapped by the size of her guards, Helen proved her ability by dribbling or juggling past the defense of her opponents and looping goals from almost any angle. Some of her shots were of the spectacular variety, but usually she was steady and sure. She proved a good leader by fighting her hardest and encouraging the girls when the odds were against us. Next to the Captain, the girl who deserves the highest praise is Dorothy Davis. Dofie played the most consistent game of basket-ball for a guard, that has been exhibited here for a number of years. It's easy to be a forward and get the glory for one's self, but not quite so nice to keep some one else from getting the glory. All honor to Dot, who has given her best in every game, and played the hardest, cleanest game of all! The team will lose a splendid girl when it loses her. Though Pegl' Hanable didn't get a chance to show her Hoor work at the early part of the season, she proved a. splendid manager. For once, due to her, the coach was not harassed by constantly having to remind the manager to do this, that, or the other thing. Added to this she played a line game at forward in the last two games after the loss of the regular forward. Betty McCullough at side center proved that when it comes to basket-ball, the twins can 't be beaten. She was here, there, and everywhere, out-jumping, outpassing and outplaying all the side centers we were up against. Betty is about the fastest player on the squad, and luckily for us, we will have her with us next year. Her speed and alertness has been a determining factor in many games. The other defensive job was held by Edith Thomson, another regular from last year. While Edith does not play the same type of basket-ball that Dot does, she works well with her. Particularly in the early part of the season, if it had not been for the splendid work of Edith, the scores would have been higher for our opponents. Edith has been chosen as the captain for next year. The most versatile member of the squad was little Crvstal Frey. She played forward or center equally well, sometimes even both positions in the same game. Outweighed and smaller than any center she played against, by sheer will power, our star succeeded in outjumping all of them. Every girl Ninety-tive ' 51.11 i that played against her knew that she was a real basket-ball player. Unfortun- ately, ill health forced her out of a few games. As a forward, while not so spectacular, she was equally eiective. With good luck she will be the best center in the county next year. Again a Freshman became a regular. Eleanor Watson proved one of the most aggressive girl basket-ball players that we have seen. Sonny invariably got the ball before her guard knew what was happening and either took a long shot or passed to Helen. Here again Fate was against us. Just before the two hardest games an unfortunate accident kept Eleanor out of the game. She was so good while we had her that we are looking forward to three more years of her playing. Two other freshmen made the squad-Edith Mould and Grace McAvoy. Edith proved herself a good understudy for Dorothy and Edith Thomson. While not aggressive she gets there and fights till the last whistle. Grace had a hard task to try to fill Crystal 's place, but she went at it with a will and did her best, which was good. The prospects for another year look particularly good. We shall miss those who leave us, Helen, Dorothy and Margaret. Some few other girls played and practiced, but not enough to earn either their letter or numerals. Shorty thinks they 're a loyal, fighting crew. During her first two years at Sewickley High School, Miss Reniers has proved herself a successful and most popular coach. By this time we have dis- covered that there is very little about the game that she does not know. Shorty, as she is known to most of us. has taught us some real basket-ball and we owe all our team work and any success we have had, to her. Our season this year, was no doubt less successful than last year, but we were handicapped by the loss of several splendid players by graduation and hard luck. VVith the exception of a few players our squad was much lighter than last year. In spite of this fact. the team pulled together and made some very creditable showings. The team takes this opportunity to make known their hearty appreciation for every minute Miss Reniers has spent with us.

Tl1e catching department will be ably handled by Beall and Hunt. In McCullough and llanable, the speed ball kings, and Symcs, the curvc ball artist, Coach McMaster, has a pitching department which will he hard to beat. Wheat at first, although small. is the cleverest man at this position we have seen in our section. Challis covers a lot of ground at second and is also a fast man on thc bases. J. Barber is the most consistent hitter on the team. turns in pretty stops and assists at short. VVolfe can sure knock 'em down, at third and hits the ball hard at bat. Captain Fickinger in center field is a real leader besides being a consistent hitter and an exceptionally good gardener. Cook in right, has the best arm on the team and gets everything that comes his way. t'DickH Jones in left, is a sure man on tly balls and his hitting can always be counted on. Paul Barber is a very capable utility man as he can play either the infield or outfield equally well. lf the pitching and team-work comes up to expectations, Scwickley ought to be a consistent winner. In Coach McMaster, we are fortunate in having a man who has played the game and knows it from start to finish. i' Schedule Friday, April 25 .... .....

The building was beautifullv decorated in colored autumn leaves, colored paper, and corn shocks, due to the work of the decorating committee. The snake walk and Grand March started at S 130, ending at the Auditorium where everyone enjoyed further entertainment. At the end of the program, Mr. Parke announced the prize winners for the prettiest and best costumes, which were worn by Gertrude Ronsey, Elizabeth McCullough, William McPher- son, Max Dean, Charles Turner and Ralph Kirk. O11 the first Hoor, The Novelty Six rendered some irresistible music and everyone danced until later in the evening, when refreshments were served. Following this was the prize waltz which was won bv Elizabeth Gillett and her partner, Mark Roach. A few more dances and the 'tliome Waltz finished a glorious and happy evening. Football Banquet Our Sewickley High School showed its appreciation of the work done by its football players by giving a banquet for them. This dinner was held at the Seventh Avenue Hotel, where a sumptuous feast was spread. Rules for football training were broken by all when they partook of that meal. After appetites had been satisfied, Mr. Kline, who had charge of the team for the last three games only, gave a short talk, regretting the poor showing for the season and expressing a desire to have it improved next year. Jack Watson, the captain of this year's team gave a short, snappy talk after the letter-men had elected t'Ding Melfonib, captain for next year. Dingl' said a few words which were followed by an adjournment to the Davis Theater, where all were entertained by an exceedingly good program. All the way home, and for some time afterwards, the boys were echoing the snappy tunes which had been rendered there. The guests were Mr. Parke, Mr. Conway, Mr. Stewart, tl1e cheerleader, and every fellow who came out to take the hard knocks. The whole affair was a great success. One llnndred Une 0 Senior Party at lVlinnick's On Thursday, February 15, the Seniors returned to school like a battered regiment of War heroes, all because they were at a party at Minnick's which was quite a party. The class met in front of the School on Wednesday about tive o'clock, everyone attired for a good timeg here they all crowded into a truck and were otf, singing and cheering. . After a delicious meal, some danced, others sang, and some, who had pro- cured a bob sled, made a wild dash down Mt. Nebo road, leaving some of their passengers in the middle of the road: but a broken arm or so is nothing. At eleven o'clock they boarded the truck, bound for home, declaring it was the best ever, and they extend their heartiest thanks to Mr. lllinnick and family for the wonderful time. The St. Patr1ck's Dance The St. Patrick's Dancc held at the Y, Saturday. March 15th. was one of the biggest and most successful school dances Sewiekley High School ever held. There were numerous novelty dances-and say, was it coincidence or otherwise that William Hanable and Cynthia Dean should draw each other as partners in the lottery dance? And if you remember. a great effort was made to break up the clique influence, which had for a long time borne the blame for every social failure. If the frequent favorable comments heard from every side, were any indication of the success of this movement, clique influence was undoubtedly lacking. The Cast Party After the last performance of 'tThe New Poor, a tired, grease-paint smeared crowd adjourned to Gaye Dietrich's home, wlierc dancing and a general good time were much in evidence for the next few hours, But after a very few moments-and especially after the refreshments were served-all that tired feeling disappeared and everything was forgotten for the time but the fun of the occasion. During a lull in the festivities, Marie Watson, as spokesman for the cast, presented Mr. Cook with a handsome fountain pen, in recognition of his services in the direction of the play whose last performance had just been given. This over, the crowd returned to dancing and did their best to make the most of the evening. From all reports, current the next day, they must have succeeded on a large scale. And say! Do you remember the June-bugs on the porch and the excitement Wattie caused? Junior Prom The annual Junior Prom was held May 9, l92-1 at the Parish House. The room was beautifully decorated in palms which formed a background around the Orchestra and colored crepe paper shading the lights. Corsages and carnations for the girls and boys were furnished by Edith Thomson and Evelyn Bonsey. . One Hundred Two me The music-it couldn't be beat, was furnished by Ralph Harrison is Orches- tra of Pittsburgh. The dance program was nothing short of a masterpiece. Every other dance was a novelty of some kind, and this sort of program, as something unusual made the evening more enjoyable by the very fact of its novelty. The prize waltz was more than exciting. It was a close match, but the decision was given to Elizabeth Gillett and her partner, Mark Roach. The evening was declared the most successful ever. Among those present were Mr. Conway, Miss Kerr, Miss Pettit, Miss Hubbell, Miss Elder, Miss Drynan and Mr. Stewart. The Soshells The Soshells, although not so numerous as those of other years, were just as much enjoyed by the crowd that attended them. There was only one difference between the soshells of the past years and those of preceding years, and that was the size of the crowd. However, those who missed those good times in the pavilion have much to regret. The music, as usual, was furnished by the High School Orchestra, which made a special efFort.to please the dancers, and it is certainly no fault of theirs, if the soshells were not patronized by the student body, as they should have been. A novelty program of dances was arranged by the Social Committee, in order to break up the clique influence as much as possible, which added still more to the general enjoyment of the soshells. Norma Hunt and her committee are to be congratulated on their handling of the soshells, for they made honest efforts to give everyone a good time. i One Hundred Three df W ,, JI Elutograpbs ' wvrvf.
