'Y THE SEWIHI PUBLISHED BY THE STUDENTS OF SEWICKLEY HIGH SCHOOL i s 2 E SEWICKLEY PENNSYLVANIA VOLUME 4 1926 'vu' in KW 'W , History of the Sewickley Schools It seems difficult to realize that Sewickley 's Hrst school house was a small single-room log cabin, located on Division Street near Blackburn Avenue. In 1818 a larger cabin was built to serve both as a church and a school. Later a brick building was constructed at Centennial Avenue and Broad Streetg this was used for many years. The year 1862 saw the erection of a four-room brick building at Broad and Thorn Streets. Several additions 'were made to this building which was destroyed by fire February 1, 1893. The townspeople quickly arose to the emergency and the following year, June 5, 1894, dedicated the building now situated at Broad and Thorn Streets. Little did these energetic people realize that in less than half a century the building that they had provided would be incapable of accommodating the students of the Valley. But the steady growth of our beautiful community has made necessary the erection of the commodious building located on Harbaugh and Graham Streets. We have truly passed from log cabin to the White House. All loyal students of Sewickley High are proud of the new school, and grateful to the townspeople for providing such a pleasant and modern house of knowledge. W. K., '26.

She tries to quell the fresh Sophomores in her report room and she does it pretty well. The plays were a big success this year and it was due to Miss Kerr's wise coaching and careful guidance. Besides this she coached the debates, and although they did not win out, they made a fine showing. Last but not least she is an advisor for this excellent and famous book. She reads all the write-ups and censors the jokes. BESSIE S. EGOLF, A. B. Oberlin. MODERN IIISTORY, ll. S. IIISTORY, EooNoM1os. Mrs. Egolf is a good sport. What more need we say? We admire her standards and ideals. She should be congratulated for the splendid improvement shown in our orchestra this year. Mrs. Egolf conducts the Glee Club, and has established a Current Events Club in each of her history classes. She also has a half share in the Chapel Debates. KARL NV. SCHUCKER, B. S. Mr. Sehucker seems to be the only one of the teachers new last year, who liked us well enough to come back this year. Ile has always been a loyal supporter of all our activities, and is popu- lar with both the students and the faculty. Some of the girls even composed a poem about him. Thirteen THOMAS W. IIUUIJ. li. S. Westminster, Vniversity of l'ittshurgzh. BIOi,ooY, Puvsies. Of the new teachers none is better known or better liked than our prot'essor-llood. Mr. llood not only entered the school as a teaeher. hut entered into the life of aetivities as well. lle was chosen as our basket hall and tennis eoaeh. and eertainly was a sues-ess. Ilere's hoping: he sticks with us. RVTII Mol'ILRlCE. Penn State, indiana. llllMMl'IRClAL SI'B.n-tcws. One of our new good-looking teachers is Miss Melilree. Although she has not heen with us long she has proved to he a good friend to OVl'I'y- one. We owe lllilllf' thanks to Miss Melilree for her helpfulness to the staff in assisting in type- writing. As a ehaperone on various parties and sleigh rides she has won the reputation of a good sportf, SAMANTHA K ENT HILICY. li. S. Wayiieslmlgar. ANCIHN1' lllS'l'0liY, C'n'u-s. l'1Nui.isu. M-iss Riley ealne to us this year as an old friend, for most of us had her as a teacher in the grades. She is still as peppy as ever. and is always interested in everything that goes on. lt' all the Freshies know lots of quotations, it's not their fault. Blaine it on Miss Kiley. That 's her hohby.

Not only pretty but-ask the Girl Reserves what they think of Alma. She always has a smile and a kind word for every- one. As president of the Girl Reserves she has made a wonderful leader and is known as inthe sweetest gnirl in the world -not only to us but to a certain other person fill. And all that 's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes. BERNARD BESTERMAN. Bernard admits that he isn't strong for the girls but we are not so sure. VVe notice he is always willing to play the piano when some fair lady requests it. Bernard is a real musician. He also likes shifting scenery. He is very quiet but far from unnoticed. Music ever hath its charms, To sooth the savage breast. GERTRUDE BONSEY. Gert is very much admired with her blonde prettiness and her fun-loving dis- position. She is always willing to lend her home for class parties and is a very popular and gracious hostess. Gert likes everyone, but of course there is always one. Her lips were red, her looks were free Her locks were yellow as gold. MARGARET BOW ER. Peggy is a real girl in spite of her shorn locks. She is always right on the spot where there is anything doing- with her eyes snapping and her tongue going. We all think Peg is a very fine girl, but a certain masculine member of our class is particularly emphatic. My Peggy 's worth, my Peggy 's mind. Might charm' the first of human kind. DUANE BREITENBA CH. Tully and Parkie are always on hand, together, when there is anything going on. Duane almost rivals Dempsey as a boxer, but not quite. In the morning he rings the buzzer. Isn't it nice to be so prompt? 0 why should life all labor be? VIRGINIA BROWNE. In this class noted for its musicians, Virginia will not go unnoticed. Every- one enjoys her playing in chapel and Virgie seems to like to please us. She has the real spirit of our school and is always ready and willing to help. She is to be sure Quiet and demuref' ARTHUR CANNON. How Arthur has changed! We have heard how love can alter people but it certainly has broadened Arthur. Arthur is quite a football hero, proving that all stars i11 that capacity are not big and ugly. His hair nearly drives the girls to distraction because it is so curly. VVith lokkes crulle as they were leyd in press. JACK CANNON. Ah! Enter our hero. Jack has never been seen with his hair mussed-not even when he is in overalls. We have decided that he would make a wonderful movie star-just watch him some day gliding gracefully through the latest dance steps dressed in the height of fashion. A smile or kiss, as he will use the art Shall have the cunning skill to break a heart. MARIAN CHALLIS. Marian is dark and lovely and seems to like them dark-at least at present. She never has much to say so we do not know what she intends to do after she leaves school, but we have our own ideas as to what she could do. Marian 's influence carries a lot of weight. And she as fairest is her form She has the truest, kindest heartf, KATHRYN CLAY. Kathryn is never noisyg she has a light sweet voice that doesn 't carry above the noisy din in room 18 before school, but she isn't overlooked in anything. We have been told that Kathryn does not spend all her time on her lessons, but she never fails in anything she undertakes. Yet graceful ease and sweetness void of pride Might hide her faults, if belles have faults to hide. i Nineteen Twenty MARY COOK. Mary is another girl whom Mrs. Peter- son's little book simply cannot suppress. She always must get in that last word or giggle. Her pep is everlasting and she is usually on hand when anything's doing. Mary is equally proficient in three of the arts, playing the piano. pounding the typewriter and wielding the powder puff. For she looked with such a look And she spake with such a tone That I almost received her heart into my own. SAMUEL DALLY. VVe'd like you to meet Sam. one of the class celebrities. If you haven 't read his fascinating novel, Desert Love, be sure to do so at once. It deserves all the critics say about it. Sam has also become a great authority on chemistry. That in black ink my love may still shine bright. M ARIAN EM-MERT. We wonder why they call such a. pretty girl as Marion Spuds. ' ' Marian is a very tiny person and is very popu- lar with a certain member of the Fresh- man class. She is an accomplished actress and is also famous for her clever readings. The proper study of mankind is man. KEEFER FOYE. Kee has been a very important mem- ber of the class for all four years. Ile can inspire plenty of class enthusiasm, especially for any social events. Keefer is the class financier and also plays foot- ball and basketball, as well as the piano. He has helped win glory for the school in many ways. A lovyere and a lusty bachelor. CRYSTAL FREY. Crys is our all around girl. Always busy, but she is ready to do anything for anyone. She was Captain of the girls' basketball team and certainly merited our trust in her. She has been one of the finest and most enthusiastic players that Sewickley has ever had. With your clear, keen joyance Languor cannot be. WALLACE GILLELAND. Wallace always has something cheer- ful to say. Look for a. big fellow and listen for a big voice. You can 't miss him. He plays in the orchestra and is a handy man behind the scenes for the plays. Ellwood City seems to have held some attraction for Wallace all Winter. Journeys end in lovers meeting Every wise man 's son doth know. GEORGE GREGG. NVe call your attention to the aub- urn haired boy who plays the cornet in the orchestra! ! He is very much in evidence at the dances and other social events in this capacity. It pleases him to pose as a woman hater, but we're not so sure. Shall I wasting in despair, Die because a woman's fair? SIMON HAHN. He is our explosive chemistry shark. His most famous effort this year was an electric furnace, which he made and demonstrated to the class. Sometimes Simon gets an extra holiday and then we all envy him ,and wish we too had another New Year 's in the fall. His speech is a burning fire. MARIE HANLON. Billy is always there when there 's fun to be had. She's quiet at school, but you should hear her sing at the Girl Reserves. Chemistry is Marie's spec- ialty they say. She is a great lover of dogs, and picks up every stray canine she secs. She's as fond of Chemistry As a maiden ought to be. MILDRED HOCKENBERRY If you want to locate Mildred listen for her laugh. She is one of our musi- cians, playing the saxaphone and the piano, and singing in the Glee Club. Mildred showed her ability as an actress in the Irish play last year. Within the glance of one small maid There lurks a dangerous glance 'tis said. Twenty-one i I ly-t RUTH HUTCHINSON. Ruth is always willing and able to do whatever she can to help. If there is anyone who dislikes Ruth, we have yet to find him. She is also an actress and was intrusted with the very difficult part of Hulda, a Swedish maid, in the mid- year plays. Judge me then by what I am So shalt thou find me fairest. NATHAN KERR. This is Nathan Kerr who took our money at the gates for the athletie games. Nathan's Ford usually beauti- fies the front of the school by its pres- ence. It is very collegiate, and a coat of paint would certainly ruin its beauty. A lad for glo-ry seeking With forceful way of speaking. JOHN KINDSVATTER. John has so many activities that he is kept constantly on the jump. For four years he has made a capable and like- able president of the class of '26, Ile is a letter man in basket ball and was the manager of the foot ball team this year. So much can one man do, That does both act and know. WILLIAM KUIPERS. For he's a jolly good fellow. It seems to be Bill 's mission in life to hold the Senior class together and keep things going. It isn't every boy who can be a football hero, a musician, a heartbreaker and be popular with the teachers at the same time, but Bill seems to have aeeom- plished the impossible. And to uphold and cheer the rest I ought to do--and did my best. ROBERT MCCANN. Bob seems to be more interested in steamboats and River News than he is in his school work. When he wants to cross the river all he has to do is to pull on his number C215 rubbers and he is across in a jiffy. With a smile that was childlike and bland He was wont to gaze o'er the land. ELIZABETH MCPHERSON. Elizabeth amuses the commercial classes with her clever remarks. But her greatest interest lies in playing bas- ket ball. She is a brilliant and depend- able player. Elizabeth is always ready to help and to lend her Scotch deter- mination to a good cause. I know that virtue be in you, As well as I do know your outward favor. MARTHA MITCHELL. Martha has been in Sewickley High School three years and everyone knows and likes her. She has always been a prominent member of the social com- mittee and is always willing to miss English or French to help decorate, or fix the Heats. As center on the basket ball team, Martha surpasses them all. A daughter of the gods, Divincly tall and most divinely fair. CLARA MOORE. Clara is the shadow of Elizabeth McPherson, and the two are always to be seen together. When it comes to giving pep or aid for any affair you can always bank on Clara. She is also another of our feminine chemists and is always will- ing to help any one along this line or i11 anything of which she can be of assis- tance. Favors to none, to all she smile extends Oft she rejects, but never offends. CHARLES MURRAY. Charles comes all the way from Cora- opolis Heights to school. NVe have often heard how Lincoln walked live miles twice a day in pursuit of an education, but Charles brings Lizzie to school and finds her an excellent companion. Charles is well known at an athletic star. He was of quick mettle when he went to school. NEVIN M-UZZY. Nevin seems to be a very quiet sort of boy but remember the time he got excited in chapel and outblew every other mem- ber of the orchestra? He can draw any- thing from steamboats to dinosaurs. Nevin keeps the French class in constant lnerriment over his poems a la francais. lie lessons right severe There 's wit there, ye 'll get there. Twenty-three l Twenty-four RAYMOND NASH. Raymond is the class Sphinx. Ile must tell all his secrets to the Beautiful Ohio for he spends most of his time on its banks. Ile has even built himself a motor boat and intends to navigate it to New Orleans. Another competitor of the Lady Bell is this future Robert Fulton. On the shore of the wide world, I stand alone and think. DAVID NEELY. Mrs. Peterson doesn lt have any trouble keeping him quiet after the buzzer rings. Sometimes he is so still we hardly know he is there. But Dave has plenty oi' school spirit and enters into many aetiv- ities. He stars espeeially in basket hall and tennis. Dave is always ready to drive any of the teams wherever they are going. A gentleman makes no noise. HELEN OITTEN. llelen is the third member of the Browne-Outen-'l'oliver group, sinee they are very seldom seen apart. She is of a very quiet nature. but is a line student and a loyal rooter for Sewiekley lligh Sehool. She's fond of fun and yet she's true. To every single duty too. Gllil5ER'l' PARKE. If you think you are the first one to see a joke just listen fora little ehuekle from Parky and look for a twinkle in the eorner of his eye. l'arky's failing is the weaker sex. But he is a firm follower of ambition. An actor, football player. musician and student is Parity as well as a handsome Romeo. HI eould not love thee, dear, so much Loved l not honor more. ROBI+1R'l' RITCII l-JY. Bobls a. great boy! Ile's continually trying. unsueeessfully of course. to blow up Mr. Stewart in chemistry elass. 'We hope he won't succeed because we 'd hate to lose Mr. Stewart and Bob too. Well like to know what is his greatest attrae- tion in Wilkinsburg C'?j. Bob should know but he w0n't tell. To argue was joy To this little boy. RUBY ROSE. Ruby has a natural poise and grace which have won her many admirers. She is a very good student and takes her lessons more seriously than most of us. She was editor of one staff of the Oracle NVe often wonder if Ruby hasn't broken someone 's heart. She's stately like yon youthful ash. REBECCA SACKETT. Becky is one of our prettiest and most popular girls. Unfortunately for us she likes out of town boys. Just ask her and shc'll tell you all about them. Becky was a very efficient manager for the girls' basket ball team. t'She's gone like Alexander, To spread her conquests farther. EVA MAE SCOTT. Eva Mae is a girl that men ought to like because she docsn 't talk very much. She is a very proficient typist and when anyone wants any typewriting done, Eva Mae is always ready to help. She and Katharine Winters are almost always together. Silence, beyond all speech, a wisdom rare. J ESSIE THORNTON. Jessie often reminds us of one of the lovely Roman girls of whom we hear so much, who combined 'beauty of mind and face. But Jessie is very modern when it comes to having a good time. And she is an artist, an orator, and an actrew as well. To equal young Jessie you seek it in vain. LUCY THORNTON. Lucy is our authoress. Stories and poems just seem to flow from her pen. She is very studious but is always willing to share her knowledge with others. Lucy usually has a crowd around her desk listening to her latest literary production or learning how to translate that hard passage in Latin. I hear it vouehed The Muse is with us still. Twenty-hve LOU ELLA TOLIVE R. One in our class who is noted for her singing is Lou Ella. We see a bright future for her if she keeps training her voice. She also can use her fingers to a. great advantage, for she is a commercial student and a good one at that. You always will find, She knows her own mind. THOMAS TOIA. Tom was the star defensive man on the 1925 football team. He left us at mid-year, but he'll be right on hand for graduation. Tom and his dear class- mate Kuipers, were as brothers to each other. ' He hath the strength of ten.. And something over them. CHRISTY VON GUNTEN. Although Christy does not live in Sewickley he thinks Sewickley High School needs his excellent support. Beside his many activities, he leads us all in scholarship, having taken many prizes during his four years and this year won the second prize in Latin at the Pitt scholastic exams. He reads much- He is a great observer. BARBARA WEIR. Barbara has only been with us two years but in that time she has done as much as if she had been with us four. She was in the High School play last year and has had charge of all the liter- ature that has gone into the Sewihi in two years. If she isn't an actress When she grows up she will be an authoress. Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look, He thinks too much. WILHELIINI-INA VVEHRUM. Billie never leaves out the deQuill- feldt when she writes her name. It sounds so-ah-aristocratic. Billie is the class artist. She is partly respon- sible for the lovely illustrations which almost make the Sewihi. She is also very pretty and popular. I can do with my pencil, what I know, What I see. U- MARGARET WHARTON. Everyone knows Peg's lovely smile because she carries it with her wherever she goes. As class donor she surprised us with a most original performance. Peggy is a charming actress. Peggy's personality has won her many friends and will win her much in the future. Where Peggy 's charms I first surveyed When first I felt their power. MARIAN WHITE. Marian is our musician. She is the pianist for the school orchestra, and to hear her play is one of our greatest treats. Most of Marian 's time is given to her music and learning to drive Bill 's Ford. Her symphony and song To such delights would win me. KATHARINE WINTERS. Katherine is quiet but- you'd be surprised. We've just about decided that she knows how to behave at school for at parties she's right in the midst. Katharine will be a successful modern business woman if she takes her life's work as seriously as she does her com- mercial work at school. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Class Poem The poet of our class is Ruth She'll do her best to tell the truth Of '26 the roll she'll call And you shall meet them one and all. The first in our great Hall of Fame And one who well deserves that name Is our class president and friend as well We all like John we're glad to tell. The next in this illustrous line Right beside John qwhich suits them both iinej Comes Alina full of joy and fun And with a smile for everyone. Now we come to another great one Noted for his jokes and fun For its' Bill who gives us lots of pep 1 And helps us to keep up our rep. And here is one endeared to all A perfect star in basket ball- Crystal is a friend indeed To each, no matter what his creed. If you want a hard worker, Christy 's the one, For when he has a job he gets it done. He writes for the Oracle and does his work well 'Ti-s believed that he's here before the first bell. Twenty-leveu , 1 I 1 I Peg Bower is Chemistry 's ardent fan And stays in lab as long as she can For she likes to work with iron and zinc And knows more about them than you think. But if more about Peg you would like to know Straight to Sammy you must go For Sammy, as we have heard whispered above Has experienced a new kind of thrill-- Desert Love. Have you heard Marian her music play? Slow, fast, sweet, thrilling, sad or gay. She's a musician of whom we are proud She'lI some day play often before a large I crowd. Nathan Kerr has a nice little Ford But its knocks are always in awful discord Wherever he goes he can always be heard For the noise of that Lizzie is almost absurd. Lucy 's our authoress whom we 're sure some day Will attain great fame and receive good PHY For she writes such poems and interesting stories That listening to them you forget all your worries. Robert McCann is our water man For he likes the river, the boats, and the damg And whenever he has a moment to spare He goes down to the lock to observe what is there. Bernard 's the quiet one of our group You never hear him give a holla or whoop But he tends to his business, and nothing goes wrong For he never allows things to worry him long. George is another musician of ours He toots on his trumpet for hours and hours But we 're sure this is not his only delight Rumor declares he goes home late at night. Have you forgotten what measles are like? If you have just ask Ruby, she'll tell you all right For the memory of that and of chicken pox too Is fresh in her mind, she 'll quickly tell you.

Billie Wehrum's an artist fine Her drawings in this book you find For she can draw anything one might ask For her 'twould not be a very hard task. From over the hills and far away Charles Murray comes traveling every day Sometimes he rides, sometimes he walks, The latter only when Lizzie balks.

Wallace loves to tease the girls And pinch their cheeks and pull their curls And take their dorines, scarfs and hats 'Til they 're so mad they fight like cats. Whenever you see Liz McPherson You know that you 're in for some fun For with many a joke both witty and sly She can make you laugh till you almost cry. And Liz has a shadow that doesn't need the sun To insure its presence in the midst of the fun For where 'er you see Liz you 're sure to find That her shadow, Clara, is not far behind. Simon Hahn has a nice little truck And with it he certainly ha good luck For he drives it morning, noon, and night Yet somehow it manages to stay upright. Keefer really belongs to our class But his heart interests lie elsewhere, alasl For class '27 claims his attention It has an attraction which I shan't mention. Next comes Mildred, blithe and fair Smiling, dimpling everywhere She is very sweet of will Except, of course, when teased by Bill. Let us bring in Parkie here Not too fond of school I fear Yet we End him full of fun Fond of girls- Peggy for one. Marian Challi comes in next Happy and charming, eldom vexed Fond of school and parties too Whatever she does she rings true blue.

Class Prophecy The visitors gallery was packed. The crowd murmured with one steady continual rumble. Suddenly a hush came over the throng. Silence reigned supreme. ln the Senate chamber a person of majestic bearing arose and addressed the chair. lt was the Right Ilonorahle John Fernon Kindsvatter. eminent states- man and politician in all his dignity. After the Senate had adjourned for the day we met and clasped hands in the corridor. We were very glad to see each other. lt was getting late so the Senator invited me to his home for the night. On our way home -lolm told me that Nathan Kerr, the celebrated dancing instruc- tor with his latest partner, Billie Wehrum, has gained much notoriety as the instigator of a movement to revive that good old-fashioned dance-the Uharleston. We arrived at the house and hardly had the Senator walked half-way up the walk when Mrs. Kindsvatter came rushing out and greeted him. I looked hard enough to recognize Alma llarher, of course. ln the companionship of the evening our conversation drifted hack to those never-to-he-forgotten days of '2ti. Alma. told of -lohn having received a letter from Martha Mitchell, thanking him in behalf of herself and her manager, Elizabeth Mcl'hcrson. for his support and influence in her recent successful campaign for the gubernatorial chair of the State of Pennsylvania. Uharles Murray had dropped in a few days before and paid his respects. We nicknamed him farmer a long time ago. and he has made himself worthy of the name. Ile is now watering stock-on Wall Street. Ile had just come from a business conference with Jack Cannon, who is a hig power in financial circles. They also had heard that Keefer Foye is a high tlyer now-in the government air serviee. We talked until bedtime. ln the guest room I found a copy of a magazine edited hy Christy von Gunten, called Nutty Cracks. This is a magazine similar to C'ollege Humor, only better. On the tahle was a hook. the title of which caught my eye. It was Love By The liakesidef' written by the dis- tinguished American novelist, Samuel C. Dally III. It will he remembered that he began his career some twenty years ago hy writing Desert Love. Ile began with the desert and thus far has reached the lake. Ile is now busy writing a novel, soon to be published, entitled A Courthouse Calamity. That is where it always ends up. l read until l fell asleep. Morning C2lllll'. and with it breakfast, when l had the pleasure of eating a luscious orange direct from Thomas Toia's extensive t'alifornia fruit orchards. The morning paper divulged some very interesting things. I will tcll you some of the important things that were in it. The first thing that caught my notice was an article, the headline of which went like this: Alz'i'i1i'nU.xNNoN Revs AIOONSIIINEU Mi-. Arthur Cannon. one of the most prominent me11 in horse racing circles, buys 'Moonshim-,' the speediest race horse in the world. which recently won the Kentucky llerhy. The consideration is in the neighborhood of a quarter-million. The next was of not a little interest. HY. W. C. A. Arnia-:'ric lJmse'roR Gives lli4:e'ri'Ri5 Miss Urystal Frey, the renowned Y. W. U. A. athletic director gave a lee- ture last night on tllow to use Dumbbells to the hest advantagef The talk was very enlightening. For thirty years Miss Frey has had experience along her line. therefore she speaks from authority. Ilere is another that held my attention. Thirty Mr. R. H. M-cCann, president of McCann 's United Steamboat Fleets Cor- poration, left yesterday in his specially constructed airplane, for Alaska, for the purpose of establishing a steamboat line along the Yukon River. Recent North Pole developments have made it necessary for better methods of transportation. Here is another: Mr, David Neely, one of the foremost men in baseball, has bought the Pitts- burgh Pirates. The consideration has not been revealed. Under his able control the team is sure to win the pennant. The advertisements were by no means uninteresting. The first one I saw proclaimed the wonderful qualities of Kuiper's Kosmetics, manufactured by the firm of William P. Kuipers and Company. Spurred on by a certain sad experi- ence of his youth, Mr. Kuipers has, after years of experiment, perfected an ideal rouge, just the thing that everyone has been wanting for years and years. It is called The Stuff That Won 't Rub Off. The next went like this: - THE GILLELAND-RITCHEY HOT-AIR FURNACE CO. Guaranteed to make enough hot air to maintain thc temperature of your home at a proper level. Warehouses all over U. S. A. Another announced itself as follows: EMM-ERT, WINTERS AND SCOTT. INC. CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS Offices in all Principal Cities. The Biggest Firm of its Kind in the World. As I turned the pages I came upon an article especially written by Marian White for a well known newspaper syndicate in which she describes her rise to fame as the greatest and most accomplished pianist of all time. She uses the Cook piano exclusively and heartily recommended it as the most perfect piano in every respect. It is of the design and manufacture of Mary Cook, who has the controlling interest in the Cook Piano Corporation. I also read an interesting installment of a travelogue., describing the life and customs of the people of Argentina, written for the United Press by Helen Outen, who is touring the world. The Society News told that Ruby Rose, prominent club woman and organizer of society, entertained recently in honor of Barbara Weir, the celebrated dram- atist, whose recent production, A Married M-an's Misery, met with great favor among lovers of plays. I turned to the pictorial section and the first thing that caught my eye was that of a scene in Becky Sackett's ranch out West. It shows Gertrude Bonsey and Kathryn Clay, well-known screen stars, expending a vast amount of energy in their vain attempts to milk a prize cow, while Becky stands close bv, her hands holding her sides, apparently in a sonorous manifestation of joy. I was so deeply absorbed in the paper that I had almost forgotten myself. I looked at my watch to find it was almost time to leave. Before T bade my hosts good-bye they told me to be sure to visit Jessie Thornton. I took her address and went there. Instead of finding the conventional style of a house, T found a huge magnificent building with the following legend carved over the main entrance: Miss THORNTON,S Sonooi, Foe Gurus I walked in and who was there but our friend J essie! We greeted each other and began talking of old times. T asked what became of Lucy, and she replied that Lucy is the haDDY mother of a happy family. In her spare time she writes scenarios for the movies and has made quite a success at it. Jessie offered to show me through her institution, an offer which no one would have refused.

And first, we do direct that our final services shall be conducted by our superintendent and his wise and ever-competent faculty, who for so long a time have been the guardians of our minds: asking only, as a final injunction, that the obsequies be carried on with all the dignity and honor that our worth, our merit, our accomplishments and our positions as Seniors of haughty and reverend mien must certainly have deserved. Secondly :-As to such possessions as it has pleased fate, our own brains and strong hands to win for us, we do dispose of these same as follows:- Item I.-IVe give and bequeath to our dear and honored faculty, a relief from restless nights and unpleasant dreams. May they no longer lie awake over the disturbing thoughts of whether this one is doing his night work, or that one will remember every iron-clad rule in thc preparation of her essay. It has been a hard strain for them, but they have all accemplished their duty to the highest degree of perfection, and now they shall receive the greatly-deserved reward of their kindness and patience. Item II.-VVe give and bequeath to our highly-esteemed Superintendent, M-r. Parke, and also our much honored Principal, Mr. Conway, our sincere affection, deepest devotion, heartiest gratitude, and the whole unlimited wealth of our eternal memory. In an attempt at partial payment we make over to them. here and now, a heavy mortgage on our future in the World lying in wait for us-The Great Unknown. Item III.-We give and bequeath to the Junior Class our dearly beloved M-rs. Peterson, hoping that she may guide their footsteps through the coming year as firmly as she has guided ours and those of the classes preceding us. Item IV.-To the Sophomore Class we give and bequeath our dear friend and teacher, Miss Hubbell. May they love and appreciate her as she has been loved and appreciated by all her former students. Item V. 'To the Freshman Class we give and bequeath the forgiveness of the Seniors, if. at any time, they have failed to treat these most high and dignified beings with all due and proper respect. Sixthly:-We here dispose of our most valued holding. To our successors we must leave our places in the hearts and thoughts of our principal and teachers who will love them, unworthy as they are, even as they loved us. We trust the class of '27 will appreciate this as deeply as we have done, that it may be their most precious possession as it has been ours and the one which we are most loath to give over to them. Seventhly :-We do hereby appoint our loved Principal as executor of this our last will and testament. In witness whereof, we, the testators, have to this our will, written on one sheet of parchment, set our hands and seal, this twenty-second day of June, Anno Domini, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-six. Thirty-three Senior Class History Of eourse eaeh class which graduates thinks it is the best class Sewiekley lligh School has ever produced. XVe, too, are of the same opinion, but then we do have some right to our somewhat exalted stand, as we really have been a most distinguished group over since we entered High Sehool as Freshmen on September 2, 15322. To begin with, we had the honor of being the largest Freshman group that has over entered the sehool. only to be most cruelly divided into three sections, so that we did not seem so numerous. At first we were as all Freshmen are: but a little later we accustomed ourselves to our surroundings and ber-amo more like the upper elassnlen. Our first meeting was hold September 10. and the following officers were elected: President, John Kindsvatterg Vieo-President. Alma Barber: Secretary. Marian Challis, and Treasurer. Leslie Morris. - The next. year, 1923, we ascended to the position of Sophomores. leaving a good example for the new Freshmen to follow. The outcome of our meeting hold September ti was as follows: John Kindsvatter again elected President: Uharlos Murray. Vice-President, Marie 1Vatson, Secretaryg and Marian Challis. Treas- urer. Our representations in school activities was increased, and there were many now Ss awarded in athletics and orchestra. NVe entered upon our Junior year with fine spirit and enthusiasm. which was perhaps augmented by the fact that our class was not divided but was assembled in one room, a most unusual thing. for it was for the first time sinee we had entered High School. At our meeting held September. 1924. John Kindsvatter, being the only nominee for President, was unanimously elected. The offieers were: Charles Murray, Vice-President, Alma Barber, Secretary: and Koefor Foyo, Treasurer. This year was full of social activities, and the Junior Prom given May 15 was a great sueccssg both Juniors and Seniors declared they had a wonderful time. April 17 we showed our unbounded pep by receiving a halt'-holiday that was not soheduled. This was given to us because we averaged the highest percentage for the sale of tickets for the High School p-lay Clarence, Needless to say we earned that holiday, for we were out selling tickets up to the last minute. The year 1925 saw us installed as dignified Seniors in Room 18. At our meoting. hold early in September, the same officers who had served us so faitlifully in our Junior year were again elected. This year we showed our greatest ability as students when in the Pitt Academic Contest. Christy Von Gunten took second place in Latin, Barbara XVoir reeeivod honorable mention in English, and Nathan Kerr received honorable mention in two subjects. Advanced Mathematics and Problems of Democracy. No doubt this work of the Seniors did a great deal toward winning Sewiokley sixth plaeo in the contest. ln the Civie Club Contest, also, Christy Von Gunten and Jessie Thornton were on the list of those receiving awards. and Lucy Thornton, Nathan Kerr. and Ruth Hutchinson received honorable mention. NVe were also busily engaged in social activities, an enjoyable sleigh ride being given this winter. and many rollicking parties on toward the Spring. We have shown pop and enthusiasm too, as nmch as in the years before, we attained the glory of Seniors, and we hope we will show it throughout life. Now we are about to fare forth into the world and face ditiieulties that will make the ditfieultics we encountered in our school work seem as nothing. NVe know that our four years in Sewickley High School will help us play the game fairly and faee life with a smile. R. G. R. Thirl y-four Q Qi 'Q QQ nw-A-1-avt.L..,,... IUNIORS -,-,,, l History of the Class of '27 President - PAUL BARBER ' Vice Pre.s'ide'nt WESTON CLAY Secretary Vicroina WEHRUM Treasurer EDITH MIOULD As Freshmen, '27 was the largest, peppiest class that had been in S. H. S. for a long time. In football Donald Nibert starred for the Freshmen. In basketball both girls and boys were active, Nibert and Paul Barber playing well for the boys and Eleanore Watson receiving a letter, and Edith Mould and Grace McAvoy receiving numerals for the girls. In baseball, Barber again showed his athletic ability. The Freshmen also helped to support the baseball team under Miss Reniers' leadership, and showed the High School their pep and school spirit. The officers were Gray McCord, President, David Murdock, Vice-Pres- ident, Eleanore Watson, Secretary, and Torrie Wehrum, Treasurer. In our Sophomore year Nibert again represented us in football along with Aston and Leeg they all received letters. In basketball Nibert and Barber starred for the boys and Watson, Mould, McCullough and Mcllvain received letters for the girls, while Sands and E. McPherson were awarded numerals. In the winter we held a class sleigh ride and afterwards went down to Alice Pettee's where a fine time was had by all Cto say nothing of piano benches ll This year the Juniors were more widely represented in athletics than they were before. McDonald, Alexander, Hunt, Nauman, Duncan, Nibert and Lee offered a strong aid to the football team. Barber and Clay starred in basketball, Barber being captain of the team, and Challis manager. On the girls' team Watson, Mould and McCullough were stars, while Dean and McPherson made good side centers. Although we have not held any important social events this year, we had a large number at all the socials, and our Junior Prom was a great success. '27 has a year to look forward to, and as Seniors we will take our place as leaders in High School, not only in activities, but in studies and scholarship as we .

We held a class meeting and elected our oiii- cers as follows: President, Robert Crutchfield, Vice President, William Faderg Secretary, Martha Lowery, Treasurer, Percy Jones. At once we began to take an interest in school affairs. In athletics we were not behind in spite of our lack of experience. Three of our classmates received the much longed for S : Stanley Cook for both football and basket- ball, Joseph Flora for football, and Jean Mould for basketball. Those that were not able to play were there to root for the team. lVe reached the rank of Sophomore successfully and returned to claim our place in September, 1925. We found we had lost several members and had but eiglity-tive left. At our class meeting we elected the following officers: President. William Faderg Vice President, Jean Mouldg Secretary, Susan Hamilton, Treasurer, George Garrett. This year we fared better in athletics than last. Several members received S and three classmates made the varsity baseball team. Our class shows its life and spirit in other ways also. In our Freshman year we were known for our ability to sell tickets. Freshman room 25 received a half holiday for their sale of tickets for the High School play and this year room 19 received the same holiday for selling over two-hundred tickets, and the other Sophomore room sold one hundred and thirty-five tickets. We entered in all High School social affairs and decided that wa,sn't enough so we had a Sophomore sled ride out to Minicks, where we had a jolly time. Vt'e are interested in our studies also. In our Freshman year We had quite a high standing as a class. Llda Jones, Elsie Rapp and Paul Meyer received prizes in various subjects. This year we feel we are holding our own in scholarship and that we are coming into a larger relationship to the life of the school in general. A. MCP., '28.

We were divided into three sections, each reporting to a different room. Our first class meeting was held late in September. The following were elected as oflicers: President, Andrew Blackg Vice President, John 'lIcElwaing Secretary, Dorothy Famousg Treasurer, Franklin Hiteshew. One cold night in January the class had a wonderful sleigh ride, chaperoned by Mr. Stewart and Miss McElree. After the ride refreshments were served in the home of Andrew Black. Letters this year for sports were awarded to James Porter, Stanley Cook, and James Lee for football, to James Porter and Stanley Cook for basket ball. J amos Porter was elected manager of the tennis team and 'William Boyd on the base ball team. The class is proud of its efforts in helping Sewickley High School by sell- ing tickets for various occasions. We have been working hard in our studies, too. several receiving holidays for good work. We hope we will make good Sophomores. l 'IB r Forty-three me .i lull-x yum- 'f r g . ,Nl , 1, Z' - I -1:-:uw - -- Frederick Besterman Andrew Black Robert Blackwell William Boggs William Boyd Edward Burkert Charles Butler Melvin Carter Arthur Clark Ernest Cook Stanley Cook Frank Czillinger Lynwood Diggs Arthur Frazier William Gray George Green John Haines John Hamilton Eugene Harrison Frank Hiteshew Roy Hegner Stanley Hunt Glenn Hoffman Herbert Hosking William J anosik George Kirk Henry Karp George Kuipers Glenn Kautz John Lutz James Lee John McElwaine James McCracken Herbert Merz Sherman McPherson Ross Mechlin Carl Musgrave Frank Nicholas David Pearce James Porter James Reno John Ridley John Rosenfeld George Schofield Albert Smith John Swoope James Turner Wilbur Trudell Gilbert Wagner Jacob Weber George Wharton Frank Whitlock The Class of '29 Edwin Young James Zipparo Dorothy Aston Florence Baumgartel Marie Brush Rose Callaghan Phoebe Campbell Erma Clay Clide Collins Jane Connelly Mary Virginia Cooper Mary Dempsey Ruth Doig Jane Doughty Dorothy Famous Elizabeth Ford Patricia Geary Edith Greney Rosalia Hammer Margaret Hennessy Kathryn Hetzer Helen Hellman Louise Hicks Dorothy J etter Olive Johnson Catherine Lutz Gladys Lothian Virginia McKibben Frances Minick Charlotte Merz Margaret Magee Mildred Mays Marie Mays Louise Neely Mildred Ohlman Elsie Patterson Viola Pluechel Elizabeth Pollinger Iris Reese Hester Reese Virginia Richardson Laura Shaffer Anna Sickeler Gillen Smith Mildred Smith Marie Steup Ella Stewart Helen Stoifel Ethel Vinall Nancy Walters Nancy Watson Mary Young Forty-tive .i.,.. .- 'in-LAM AUTOGRAPHS I ' 1 lm ,, , Ns!

Fiftyvnine Chapels and Literaries The forty-five minute period set aside on Tuesday Conce a weekj for Chapel Talks, and Thursday Conce a week for Literaries, has certainly proved itself worth while. Besides being instructive, interesting and often humorous, these productions serve several good purposes. First, they tend to give the speaker more confidence in addressing the public, second, since this work is compulsory for every student once a year, it teaches us that the unpleasant duties of life whieh we would rather avoid, must be performed by everyone for justice 's sake: and last, but in no way least, these programs help to divert. our attention for a few minutes from our studies and when they are over we go to our last morning class feeling much more like using our brains once again. For this last reason we welcome Chapel as the Arab welcomes an oasis on the Sahara. Besides the regular programs several interesting chapel debates have been given, the glee clubs have sung for us and speakers from all over the country. even one from Poland, helped to vary the monotony of our everyday existence. The orchestra and Mrs. Egolf, its leader, have given splendid and very necessary aid making our Literaries enjoyable. There is one thing, a big thing, kept to the last because of its importance, it is the Music Club. The Sewickley Music Club, under the auspices of Mrs. Clarke and M-rs. Muzzy, has been kind enough to provide the students of our high school with some really good music once or twice a week. Their efforts have not been in vain, for the majority of the student body have both enjoyed and appreciated these efforts. The Chapel talks and Literary programs have been given more smoothly than previous years, with fewer people forgetting and more people with better posture and greater self-confidence.

Rehearsals began late, but the cast threw themselves into it and the results were as satisfactory as they would have been after long practice. The story deals with Mr. King, a millionaire Cplayed by William Duncan? who is very much imposed upon by his family of two daughters, Eva CSusan Hamiltonj and Julie fGeorgena Eckardl, his late wifc's sister, Abby Rocker, K Rebecca Sackett-Martha Mitchellj, his uncle Horace fRober1 Ritcheyj, and Julic's l1usba11d, Clinton De Witt QGilbert Parkei. Eva has two suitors, a Scotchman, Lord Andrew Gordon fCharles Murrayj and a fortune hunting doctor, Clienneth McClesterD. The lot of them with the help of the doctor. persuade the father to take a trip up the Amazon River. He goes, but not before installing his business manager, Adam Smith I Paul Barberj as father of the household. Adam has very high ideals concerning home life, but the only one in sympathy with him in the new home is Corinthia, the parlor maid, CMarygray Andersonj. Corinthia's interest. however. is somewhat of a per- sonal nature. The family suddenly goes bankrupt, and is obliged to move to an old farm in New Jersey where then Uncle Horace becomes an insurance agent, Clinton De VVitt, a clothing salesman, Lord Andrew, a riding master. Aunt Abbie marries and the doctor drops from the race for Eva's hand. Eva and Julie with the help of Corinthia who has become a partner in the business, take over the raising of bees and chickens on the farm which is supervised by Adam. Adam is in love with Eva and she with him, but Eva is engaged to Lord Andrew and must keep her word. Corinthia who cannot bear to see Adam unhappy explains the situation to Lord Andrew. immediately setting everything right for the lovers. Just as the farm is becoming a success. the father returns and is very much surprised to find himself bankrupt. Adam however explains that it was his plan of reforming 'the family and all ends well. A better couple for the leads could not be found, than Susan Hamilton and Paul Barber. Paul has had previous experience but his performance as Adam was best yet. This was Susan first experience and by her acting we know well that it shall not be her last. Georgena Eckard and Gilbert Parke, the very-mtuch-in-love De Witt 's gave an excellent performance. Gilbert, like Paul is an old hand at the game and grows better with each play in which he has a part. Georgena is another newcomer, and her part could not have been played better. Vfilliam Duncan, the father, Robert Ritchey. the uncle, Martha Mitchell and Rebecca, as aunts, made the best old people that Sewickley High School has ever presented. William 's rages were so natural that it was hard to believe that he was only acting. To say that Robert was one of the biggest hits would not be stretching the truth a bit. Every line he spoke was greeted with peals of laughter. Martha Mitchell appeared as Aunt Abby the first night, and Rebecca Sackett the second night. Both performances were so good, that it would be impossible to choose the better of the two. Marygray Anderson, as Corinthia, the almost-one-of-the-family'' maid, Charles Murray as the Scotch lord, and Kenneth McClester as Doctor Dilamater were exceptionally well suited to their parts. As a whole the play was a great success. This was largely due to the fine spirit of cooperation between the cast and the coach, Miss Kerr, the untiring zeal of the stage hands, Bernard Besterman, NVal1ace Gilleland, and Simon Hahn, and the resourcefulness of the property manager, Bill Kuipers. Sixty-one xlj hm The Sewihi Benefit Plays Friday evening, February 26, 1926, the annual mid-year plays. given for the benefit of the Sewihi, drew a crowd which left standing room only in the high school auditorium. Two one-act plays and one two-act play gave an oppor- tunity for quite a few new actors to make their appearance. As dramatic coach, Miss Kerr so endeared herself to her actors by her good sense of humor and her patience, as well as her success, that we hope she will continue to take charge of our plays. The Man in the Bowler Hat, the first play of the evening, was a comedy in one-act. Doris Mather and Gilbert Parke filled the parts of a middle-aged husband and wife admirably. Charles Singer, as the Man in the Bowler Hat, was the silent, mysterious on-looker who turned out in the last stage of the play to be a movie director, wherein lay the key to the whole mystery. William Fader and Lois Bradley, the loving couple, who persisted in meeting despite the will of the heroine's father. Nathan Kerr and Charles Day, the bold and bloody villians, thrilled the audience by their desperate countenances and the curious way in which they spoke-in riddles! It turned out all right, as such things always do. The second play had a mysterious name, The Unseen. Arthur Cannon, as the young architect against whom the unseen forces in the air seemed to bc Working, played his part very well. Marion Emmert made a very loving and sympathetic wife. The clumsy blunders of Hulda, the maid, played by Ruth Hutchinson, kept the audience laughing all the time. By her forgetfulness, Hulda unwittingly saves the life of the young architect, thereby inspiring his heartfelt gratitude, much to her surprise. A The third play also dealt with architects and weird things. Suppressed Desires are betrayed by dreams, queer actions and habits. Jessie Thornton played the part of the young woman who has become an enthusiastic follower of physco-analysis. She tries to persuade her husband, William Kuipers, to visit her doctor and find out his suppressed desire. He is disgusted with it, but goes to please her, and finds he has a suppressed desire for her sister, Margaret Wliarton, who has found a desire for Stephen, the husband. Mrs. Brewster is distressed at the way things have turned out, and deserts physco-analysis for- ever, much to her husband's satisfaction. The three plays furnished two hours of real enjoyment for the audience. The casts, as well as those in charge of the staging, worked hard, and deserve a lot of credit for the success. L. E. B. Sixty-three xl-x ATHLETICS The l925 Football Season Although the nineteen-twenty-five football season was not a success from the viewpoint of points scored or victories won, nevertheless the team and the school benefited more perhaps than would have been the case in a victorious campaign. The morale and spirit of both were tested time and again. The team held its courage under most trying circumstances and fought to the last minute in every contest, whether ahead or behind. The school gave loyally of their spirit and backed up the team well at all the games. It is indeed a greater thing to be a good loser than a good winner. The scores of the contests were not greatly in our opponents favor, and in a. majority of the games Sewickley out-punted and out- played their adversaries. The season opened with bright prospects for a winning team. However, hard luck followed, when injuries held Foye, Murray, and Libby lice from the early lineups. Despite these handicaps the first game with Dormont was success- ful, although it ended in a 6 to 6 tie. The final whistle stopped the Red and Blue's last march on the seven yard line. Over-confidence on the local e1even's part gave Ambridge the necessary advantage needed to win. They scored 6 points early in the first quarter and added another touchdown late in the game, The Scwickley machine rushed the ball over for a touchdown in the third quarter, but a penalty on the scoring play cancelled it. The final score saw Ambridge victorious, 12-O. The first home game, that with Ben Avon, one of the fastest teams in this section, saw Scwickley at her lowest strength. Ben Avon scored twice in the second quarter: their first touchdown due to a Sewickley fumble and the second to excellent footwork on the part of the Ben Avon safety man, who ran a punt back from mid-field for a touchdown. Sewickley played hard the rest of the contest and in yardage gained far outeclassed their opponents. who played a defensive game. The Bellevue game was also lost in the first half, Sewickley, although they hammered their way time and again into Bellevue territory. were unable to push across the goal-line. Beaver blocked a punt in the last two minutes of play to defeat the Red and Blue 7-0. The locals out-played their opponents in this contest but lost out when Libby Lee, their punter, was hurt. Beaver then blocked Nibc-rt's boot, which bounded over our goal-line, spelling Sewickley's defeat. The next game at Avalon saw Sewickley matched against probably the best team in this section. 'We were unable to stop the rushes of the heavier team, which swept us off' our feet to go down in a 13-0 defeat. The Mars game was cancelled to give the players a chance to reeupcratc for the big game of the year with Coraopolis. Coaches John Patton and Toder Mclllaster assisted by Mr. Conway and Mr. Stewart worked hard during the two weeks prior to the game to whip tl1e team into shape. The players entered into the practice sessions with a will and the team-work improved wonderfully. The Cory game was another of Sewickley's victories through morale. The Red and Blue onslaught during the first quarter could not be withstood. With the ball in mid-field the ball was carried four times by Libby Lee and twice by Cook, which placed the pigskin on the Cory two-yard line. Kee Foye then rushed it over for a touchdown. Cory scored in the third quarter but failed to kick goal, leaving the score at 6-6. Sewickley was on her way to another touch- down when the game was called on account of darkness. After the season all the fellows attended the annual Football Banquet. Herb McCracken, Toder McMaster and Prof. Parke gave interesting talks which Sixty-H ve 'El l e ll l 1 l ll . ll as Sixtyvsix should do much toward the development of the 1926 eleven. Kee Foye deliv- ered the customary farewell speech, introducing Art McDonald, captain for next year, who responded with tl brief chat about prospects for 1926. The Letters were then presented by Mr. Conway to the following players: CAPTAIN FOYE-Fullback. Noted for his forward passing ability. Kee', also called signals. JOHN HLIBYH LEE-Left Halfback. All opposing teams commented on the great all-around work of Sewickley 's little left halfbackg a dangerous man in a broken field. DoNALn NIBI-:ar-Right Halfback. Don was at his best at forward passing and long end runs. His punts were long, high, and with a twist that made them hard to catch. J AMES PORTER-Halfback. Jimmy gained many yards by knifing his way through tackle time and again. He gave promise of a great ground gainer for the 1926 team. WILLIAM DUNCAN-Half and Fullback. Pretzel was most effective on line plunging. He played all the backiield positions at different times. He was laid up at Avalon, and was missing from the Cory game on that account. STANLEY COOK-End and Fullback. Chickles was one of those men on whom one could always depend to play a brilliant game at any position. He was a deadly tackler and always got his man. HIOWARD FoH'r-End. Fohtie has the distinction of being the smallest man on the team, as well as the fastest end. He was always down the field under punts to get the receiver in his tracks. LoUIs HUNT-End. Huntie broke into the lineup at Dormont and played aggressive football all season, also a good tackler. CHARLES MURRAY-Tackle. Chuck was injured in early practice and forced to watch the first games from the sidelines. However he came back strong near the end of the season and strengthened the team a great deal. We'll miss him next year. VVILLIAM KUIPERS-Guard. Bill or Jangles was the star lineman of this district. His opponents regarded him with anxiety as he was a dangerous opponent. always in the thickest of the fight. THOMAS ToIA-Guard. Firpo, due to his great weight and ability, was a good defensive player. Opponents seldom come through his position. - ARTHUR MCDONALD-Center. Art is our captain for 1926. Starting in with a rush at the first of the season, Art steadied the line splendidly. Much is expected of him in 1926. The Varsity as well as the school owes great thanks to Devine, Parke., G. Kuipers, Connelly, Wharton, Wells. Myers, McCracken, Cannon, Alexander, Carter and Nauman, who worked hard all season to put the Varsity in shape for the Inter-Scholastic games. The Squad then enjoyed a trip to Pittsburgh and the Davis Theatre. Fond memories of this trip will linger in the minds of all present for years to come. Let 's make 1926 the bwt season Old Sewickley High ever enjoyed! Sixty-seven Sixty 1-ight 1 The 1926 Boys' Basket Ball Season In the latter part of December the first call for basketball candidates was issued. One of the largest squads in the history of the cage game at Sewickley responded by turning out for the opening talks by Coach Hood. Early practice sessions as well as inter-class games gave a good prospect for a winning season. Every class in the school was represented on the first team during the year and every man always gave his best for the good of the team. Paul Barber, the captain, played left forward and led the team in scoring. He was one of the best men in the valley in taking the ball through what seemed an impregnable defense to score. His cool judgment made him a real leader. The other forward berth was held down by Stanley Cook, the best long shot on the team. Cookie, due to his size and speed, scored many a point where another larger fellow would have failed. A real lighter, Chickles always encour- aged the team, whether ahead or behind. At center Nibert starred. His pantherish leaps, when on the defensive, saved Sewickley from defeat and held down the enemies' totals. Murray substi- tuted at the center post and showed time and again his ability to shine in a pinch. His great height made Chuck a dangerous man in close to the basket shots. , Perhaps you 've wondered who the little right guard of our team was. We'1l tell you a secret. It is John Kindsvatter. Superb in all forms of defensive tactics John played the game fair and square, and ever to the advantage of the Red and Blue. A freshie held down the other defensive position. Jimmy Porter, always alert and on the jump, roved over the court, ever turning up at the right, moment, either to stop a rally of the opposition or to start the local quintette on the road to victory. Weston Clay subbed at guard. The coolest man on the- floor, Wes became the best man for stopping a hostile dribbler or to break up fast passing team- work. His return next year will be watched with interest, as he promises future glory for Sewickley High. Dave Neely played a steady game and at times brought the stands to their feet with a thrilling field goal. The second team composed of Ritchey, Parke, Brand, Challis, Foye, Cannon, Fickinger and Myers, developed the first team to its highest proficiency and deserve credit for their faithful work. The W. P. I. A. L. season opened with a victory over Avalon in which Sewickley held their opponents at bay at all times. The first half of the schedule closed with Sewickley having won 5 and lost 5 games. Our rivals Coraopolis, who won the championship in Section VII were not able to cope with the locals and fell in a close game 19-16 on the Cory fioor. The season ended in a game with the Alumni in which the Red and Blue held their opponents well in hand finally to emerge victors 24 to 21. The local lads had a chance to show their superiority over the Ohio High Schools, when they engaged the Mogadore High School of Akron, Ohio. How well they demonstrattd this ability is shown in the score 26 to 0 at the end of the first half, and the final score of 54 to 4. The season as a whole was one of the best in recent years. Coach Hood deserves credit for the fine teamwork and sportsmanship of the Sewickley teams, which resulted in the closest and most exciting games yet played in Sewickley. As assistant, Stan Challis filled the office of manager well at all times. Si xty-ni ne Team VVhere Played Sewickley Opponents Ambridge .... ..... A mbridge . . . . . 21 19 Avalon ..,. ....

Great interest in the league was shown by the whole school. Pupils were kept posted as to the results of the games, the stars. coming games, etc.. by the establishment of a Junior Bulletin Board in Room 21. From the first game to the last the race was close, some of the contests being above the average High School mark. The Junior team taking the name Orioles, under which they had won Baseball honors in 1925, started out with a fast attack, literally sweeping opposi- tion from its path. This team was composed of Paul Barber, Captain, Donald Nibert, VVeston Clay, Stan Challis, William Duncan, Art. McDonald. Louis Hunt and Frank Fickinger as regulars, and John Stewart, Jack Warner. and John Alexander serving as auxiliaries. It was well worthy of being called the cham- pions of the school, losing in all only one game and that by but two points. The Senior team, alias the High School Seconds, finished second and gave the Juniors a hard run for the bunting. This team was the largest in the league and tlashed some of the best teamwork of the year. The Sophomores were the surprise team of the league. Time and again they would stage a comeback to win out over the most powerful teams of the league. They reached the crest of their excellence when they defeated the league leading Juniors 27 to 25, being the only team to turn the trick. The Freshmen displayed at times excellent teamwork, but due to inexperi- ence and lack of material showed to bad advantage as far as victories won are concerned.

Crystal Frey, the captain, deserves the most credit. Although Crystal has hurt her back and was able to play only part of the season, when she did play she played a hard, fast game and played to win. She has pep, spunk, speed and skill all combined. What more could we wish? We regret to say that the chances are you can 't witness Crys in a game because she goes too fast. But if you're quick, perhaps you'll get a glimpse of her between quarters. Vile also regret that Crys is among this yearls graduates, for we will be lost without her. Her basketball career has been a brilliant one so far and we wish her luck wherever she goes. Eleanor Watson holds the position of forward on our team, but it doesn't seem to hinder her from playing guard at times. Do we need a whole team? Why not let Sonny meet the opposing teams single-handed? I'd bet on her to make a fair showing. Here's good news! We expect her back next year. Nuf cedl The McCullough 's seem to love to come up from Leetsdale to show Sewickley what they can do. We don 't mind a bit, and last year we gladly welcomed Sara, only sorry because she is the last one forthcoming. The baby, so to speak. But Sally 's not the baby on our team. Leave it to her to make the opponent 's side- center sprint. Owing to illness she was only able to play part of the season, but we'll have her with us 11ext year and therefore needn't worry about our position of side-center. It is not necessary to say much about Edith and Jean Mould. Actions speak louder than words as some wise person said once. Everybody knows them, and likes them and is aware of how much they mean to the success of our team. Neither Mouldy Sr. nor Mouldy Jr. are spectacular players, but they can be depended upon every time. They are our Old Faithfulsn and we sure will be glad to see them both back again next year. Edith is a Junior and Jean a Sophomore and they have been on the team three and two years respec- tively. lt is not often Freshmen make the varsity, but you can't stop those Mould kids! Elizabeth McPherson is also one of our reliable guards. This is her second year on the team and she plays a very good game. We 're sorry to lose her with the rest of the graduating class. This is Martha Mitchell 's first year as a basketball player. She plays cen- ter. It's tough luck that she is going to leave us this year too, for we think another year would make her perhaps the best center Sewickley has known. Martha is a little bit shy and therefore plays at a disadvantage. Anna McPherson is our little fighter. On account of her size she has not had much chance to play in league games but when she does she doesnlt let the opponent's side-center forget she's there. It doesn 't take her long to get the ball but you ought to see her get rid of it! She and Crys and Sally remind us of lightning. The future looks bright for Anna. Helen Minick, a Sophomore, has had several chances to play substitute guard this season. She 's a. good one and with a little more practice is bound to make the team next year. Eleanor McPherson plays forward quite well and has a share of her sister, Elizabeth 's grit. We hope to see her out for the team another year. Seventy-one willy I .- .. .H Cynthia Dean, Loi Bradley and Ruth Doig came to practice regularly but did not get much opportunity to play in the games. However, it was not because they were not good enough, but on account of their smallness, they did not stand a chance against their opponents. Rebecca Sackett, although she did not actually play ball, was one of the team, for she showed her ability as manager. She is lots of fun and easy to get along withg consequently she has many friends. There are no worried frowns on the brows of the coach or the team when Becky has charge of things. At the end of last year when Shorty'7 Reniers bid us good-bye forever we thought we could not get along without her for coach, but now we are wonder- ing what we would do without Miss Copeland. However, we hope we 'll not have to worry about that for some time to come. Next year 's team promises to be a good one, and if Miss Copeland comes back to coach us again, can we help but win? D Seventy-three W FE --A, ,Quant x1 The 1926 Baseball Season Once again Sewickley has turned out a championship team. Starting the season with only four lettermen from last year's squad, the team developed under the watchful eye of Coach MeMasters into a good all around machine. The hitting, while not of the slugging variety, was impressive by its effectiveness. The team shaped up with Neely, Carter and Kindsvatter as catchers, any of whom is capable of playing good ball and steadying the team. At first base Brand and Murray scoop up all throws to the initial sack. They also field and bat well. The smallest player on the team is Bill Wharrey, who, due to his hard and consistent work has landed a berth at the keystone sack. He is fast becoming an outstanding performer. At shortstop Paul Barber is covering more territory than a big leaguer. A standby of last year 's team, he is now playing far above that average. In Hunt Sewickley has the cog which has been missing in past years, a third baseman who stars both in field and at bat. The outfield is composed of Challis, a natural ball hawk, in left, Bassett, a steady player, in middle, and Ritchey, our first home run hitter of the year, in right. Myers and Boyd also subbed in the field and played well. The team was strong in the box with Duncan, a righthander, and Singer, a southpaw, going along in great style. As manager Frank Fickinger did excellent work. The first game was a practice contest with Sewickley Academy. Singer twirled well and without much effort the High School won out 4 to 1. Several new players were tried out in this contest. The next contest and the first game of the County League was played at Sewickley. Falling on the Avalon pitcher, the Red and Blue scored nine runs in the third and three more in the fourth. Avalon was held well in hand by steady pitching and excellent fielding. The final score was 12 to 7. The feature of the contest was a home run by Ritchey with three men on base. Ben Avon was met and defeated to the tune of 11 to 5. Sewickley hit three Ben Avon twirlers hard to win out easily. Our next game, that with Bellevue, was twice called because of rain in the fourth inning. In the first contest we led 1 to 0, in the second, Bellevue had the edge 6 to 2. Duncan twirled nicely in the first game having nine strikeouts in three and two-thirds innings, while Singer, after Duncan 's removal in the second contest, mowed down the enemy in great style. Our first defeat of the year came from Ben Avon 10 to 5. Singer starting his first league game, was given poor support and removed in the third inning for Duncan, who finished the game. This left Sewickley in second place. one game behind the leaders, Bellevue, who were to be played next week. April 23 ........................................

'A' i LITERATURE T ' 'Pu vulgar' i 'M ' Desert Love In June, 1924, Dick Neilson graduated from the famous engineering school, Boston Tech. A week or so later he was lucky enough to secure a position with a Western railroad which was extending its lines into a newly developed section. Dick immediately removed to Arizona, and there took up his duties as con- struction engineer. As all college boys have, D'ick had a sweethea.rt whom he was reluctant to leave here in the East, so far away from' him, to fall victim perhaps to the charms of some other fellow. On the night of his departure, Dick went to see her. Although they were not actually engaged, there was a kind of understanding between them. When he said good-bye to her, she, had he only known it, passed out of his life forever, another soon to take her place. In due time Dick arrived at his destination after a long, tedious and hot journey. He took up residence in the small typical Western town which was the present terminal of the railroad, and which was to be his headquarters. For the first few days he felt a touch of loneliness, a longing for home, for old and well known associations. But this soon passed away and he beca.me absorbed in his new life. Dick was interested in his work, it was his first job and he was proud of it. In a short time the actual construction work began, with Dick in charge. The life of the great sandy desert was new to him, and he soon came to feel the lure of it. Hle forgot many of his old amociations, absorbed in the new. Happi- ness and contentment reigned. Thoughts of his sweetheart back East became less and less frequent, and finally ceased altogether, as new interests attracted his attention, new associations in which she did not figure at all. Barbara Sterling, young, beautiful, the spoiled daughter of a wealthy mer- chant, was angry. Try as she might, she could not gain her father 's consent to take a flight in a plane. It was the thing she most desired at present. She was not used to having her wishes opposedg all her life she had had her own way and she wanted it now. She was determined to get it this time. This unexpected opposition from her father who usually pampered her, humoring her every whim, bafficd and angered her. What had got into him to make him act thus? But, papa, said she, Why not? You heard what I said. You can not take a flight in an aeroplane. Besides where would the plane come from? Am I to buy one? No. I won't, thundered her father. But, papa, why not? I say why, why, why not? Babs stamped her pretty, small, well-shod foot in poorly disguised anger that her parent should resist her so in this perfectly reasonable request. It's not dangerous, if you are thinking of that. And you wouldn't have to buy a plane! No, No, No, No! ! ! ! I said no and no I mean. vociferated her father. Well, if you just won't listen to reason, there's no use of a reasonable person talking to you, and she fumed out of the room, her father's den, slam- ming the door behind her. This was but one of many similar arguments. To one of such a nature as Barbara, this unforeseen opposition on the part of her father merely strengthened her determination. And go up in a plane she did, with such results as would have been utterly impossible to foretell. The sooner the betterf' thought Babs. No more arguments for me, I'll just go and do it, and when it 's done, Dad can't undo it. Eighty-one Accordingly, early the next morning she was up, full of eager, yet grim determination for the thing she was going to do. Going down the steps of the terrace toward the garage, her golf bag slung over her pretty, well-shaped shoulder, she waved to her mother. Bye, mother dear. Just going over to the f'lub to play a few holes 'fore the course gets crowded. NVhat she didn 't mention was that at the Club also was a man with an aero- plane. who took passengers for flights, for the sum of ten dollars. Back for lunch, darling? asked her mother. VVell, hard to tell where I'll be at that time. I'll probably lunch with some of the crowd at the Club. And indeed such was her intention. Little did she guess where she would be at lunch time. Had her mother known she would have been terrified. But she didn 't know. and went peaeefully about her morning duties, little dreaming what was happening to her lovely daughter. Babs swung into her speedy roadster, tramped on the starter, threw the ear into gear and dashed away at a high rate of speed. Determination in her beau- tiful hazel eyes, the chestnut loeks of her perfectly shingled head flying in the cool morning air, she sped toward the country club. She tiew past traffic cops as if they were merely wooden statues. Upon arriving at the elub, she immediately searched out the aviator of the plane and stated her request. Why, I don't usually take flights this early, but--I might take you for a little spin out over the desert, he deliberated. Oh, please! said Babs anxiously. A short time later they were in the air, soaring high among the clouds, over the great sandy desert. Barbara was fascinated and enjoying herself immensely after the first sensations of fright were over. As they whizzed through the air at a high rate of speed, just when they were flying over some small black dots. which later proved to be the construction camp of the railroad by which Dick was employed, the motor of the plane coughed, wheezed, sputtered, gave one last gasp and expired entirely. The only thing to do was to at least prevent a wreck, if possible, to attain a safe landing. But it was not possible and smash up they did eareening madly to earth. No sooner had the plane struck the ground than it caught fire and began to burn fiercely. Barbara, dazed almost to the point of unconsciousness at the suddenness of the shock, squeezed out of her seat, somehow perceiving the great danger she was in, and jumped to the ground, very much frightened, burned and bruised a bit, but all there. The body of the aviator was wedged in between the motor and his seat, all the life crushed out. Only by the greatest of miracles had Barbara escaped the same fate. After her mind cleared, Barbara faced the problem of what she was to do, here in the midst of the desert, her only companion the body of the dead flyer. Then glancing up, she perceived on the horizon a small party of men. lt was the advance party of the construction crew viewing the ground. W0llld, oh would they come near her. This thought raced through Barbara 's mind. It seemed ages before they approached near enough that she was able to make out their forms. Something seemed to draw the little party toward Barbara. What was responsible for it is not known. Their leader was Dick. Hello, he cried. coming upon the burnt plane, beside which Barbara was standing, What's this I wonder? Looks like a wrecked plane that 'S burnt to me, replied one of the men. Eighty-two At this point Barbara stepped from behind the upturned cockpit. Dick drew back in astonishment. Boys, he said, turning to the men, Here's a young lady. Something must have happened to her.' ' Evidently, from all appearances, replied Babs rather sarcastically. Surely you weren't flying that plane? Oh no! I was just a passenger. Where 's the aviator then? He's dead, I'm afraid. Calmly and clearly she told exactly what had happened, even including the story of her father 's resistance and her determination to do it anyway. In a moment Dick saw her as she was-pampered, spoiled, high tempered and selsh. His momentary sympathy died. I suppose you know that you won 't be able to get back home for quite a while? said Dick. Why not ? I, nor any of my men have time to take you to the nearest town to send you home. You 'll just have to stay here till we go into town next time. The very idea! Me stay in a place like this? Well, I guess not. I demand that you find some way ,to send me into town immediately. Babs drew herself up haughtily. She was enraged to have her will opposed again by a man, and a young one at that. You'll just have to stay here, whether you like it or not. I will not. What are you going to do then? Walk back if you force me to it. You are too insulting for wordsf, Angered by his complete indifference, she started running across the sandy desert in her absurdly high heeled shoes, when suddenly she stumbled and fell sprawling, her ankle sprained. D'ick strode over to where the fallen figure lay and in spite of her kicks and struggles. he picked her up and carried her back to the camp. Here he placed her in care of the camp cook, a good old Irish woman. It was two days before Babs was able to walk again and five more before she left the camp. Dick. at the end of the third day was still as indifferent to her as he had been at first, but in almost constant contact with a thing so lovely and charming as Babs really was, he felt his indifference weakening. Though he would not admit even to himself he was falling slowly and surely in love with this beautiful victim of adverse circumstances. He secretly adored her. But admit it? No, not for the world. So hard as it was he kept up his mask of indifference till the very end. Barbara too, her pride piqued by his continued indifference, brought all the power of her feminine beauty and charm into play. His indifference merely spurred her on, made him more desirable. Never before had any man been com- pletely immune to her various charms. Such was the situation on the evening of the sixth day of Bab 's enforced sojourn in the camp. I'm sending some men in for supplies tomorrow, and I suppose I can send you with them, said Dick, thinking she would be glad of the chance to get away. He was reluctant for her to leave, feeling that he would never see her again. He knew her name, but that was all. But would that serve as balm to a heart full of love and adoration for her? About the same thoughts were passing through Babs' mind. It had been her purpose at first to merely captivate Dick and then spurn him in scorn. But she Eighty-three lifvf +1 +1 found it impossible to do so, for she too had fallen deeply in love and would not admit it. Dick slowly approached her, takiing her hand in his, Dearest Babs, I must tell you something before you go. I cannot let you go like this without a word, said Dick simply, not until this moment letting the mask of his indifference fall. lllii-!7 But I don 't need to tell you what he said or her reply., for of course you know what it was. SAM DALLY. Ramon's Reata PART I. When Ramon Mandalez came to Irving Prep School, he evoked much curiosity, but little enthusiasm. The curiosity was because of his nationality, Irving was situated very far East and few students had ever seen a genuine Mexican before. The lack of enthusiasm resulted from Ramon 's frank denial of any athletic ability. Stan Carlisle, the slim, fastidiously-dressed captain of the football team, was standing on the front steps talking to Jack Landers, the big fullback, the day Ramon arrived. Jack saw him first. ' Wow! he exclaimed. See what we have with us, Stan! Stan looked around. A low whistle of surprise escaped him, and it was small wonder. Ramon's appearance was unusual, to say the least. His huge straw sombrero, his shiny new blue suit, his square toed shoes, and his flaring red necktie all these went to comprise an attire that was enough to startle any boy who had never been west of the Rockies. But if Ramon was creating a sensation, he seemed entirely oblivious of the fact. He came up the steps as unconcernedly as anyone could have done, and. passing the two boys without a word or a glance, went into the building. 'Well, I'll be! grinned Stan. Snubbed us as nice as could be. Did you notice that hat? And those shoes? And that Fourth of July nccktie? Quite a make-up! Big Jack grinned back. What is he, anyhow- Spanish? It was Scoop McNeil, who sometimes wrote news items for the Irving Student, that enlightened them. Scoop came out of the building a few minutes later, and they pounced on him with a volley of questions. Him? Scoop said briskly, He's a Mexican. Names Ramon Mandalez. Comes from Arizona. They 've expected him for a week. Professor Phillips met his father, a rich old cattleman, when he was out West studying those cave- dwellings last summer. Old fellow took such a liking to him that he decided to send his boy here to school. You say his father is rich? asked Stan. Then why doesn't he spend a little money on clothes? Our gardener at home wears trousers like those of his-only not so new. You don 't understand. Where he 's from, those clothes are quite the thing. Fact is. Professor Phillips says he is something of a dandy inf the little town he lived in. They 're mostly Mexicans in the place, and- There was a sudden click behind them. As they turned, the door swung open, and Ramon Mandalez himself stepped out, followed by Professor Phillips, and eeing them, the professor came forward. Eighty-four .lf V . V mzwenj- I.:i 'xiii' V' V ii Boys, he said, I want you to meet our new student. Ramon thiswis Jack Sanders at the right. The other is Stanley Carlisle. You met Bob McNeil a few minutes ago, I believe. Jack stepped up and shook hands. Glad to knowryou, Ramon, he said heartily. ' I am also glad to know you, replied Ramon, speaking good English, but speaking his words awkwardly as Mexicans are apt to do. Stan came up more slowly. How do you do, he said formally. He eyed the other critically. You've got a good build, he approved. Ever play any football? Ramon shook his head. He seemed puzzled. Baseball? Can you run fast, then? No? Stan glanced over toward the river, plainly visible from where they stood. I don 't suppose you row either, do yon? Well for pity 's sake, you must do something, don 't you? He said this last good humoredly enough, but Ramon had been brought up in a land where, except among close friends, words were taken at face value. Stan 's bantering tone was entirely lost upon him. His dark face grew crimson and he drew himself up haughtly. T do one thing. yes, he said coldly, T mind my own business. Stan was too surprised to speak for an instant. Then he laughed. Gee, but you're touchyl he exclaimed, or are you just plain fresh. If that's it- Boys! Boys ! interrupted Professor Phillips. The idea! You misunder- stood him, Ramon. He was only joking. You 'll find the boys do a great deal of that here. The instructor finally succeeded in smoothing things over, and when the group broke up, everyone seemed friendly again. But as Stan and Jack started away, Stan frowned back over his shoulder. Just the same, he said, I don 't think much of him. Any fellow that flies off the handle so easily doesn't make a hit with me. With the football season beginning, Stan was kept pretty busy for the next two weeks. He forgot all about Ramon. Then, as the team was dressing after practice one evening, Scoop McNeil dashed in excitedly. Hi, fellows! he burst out. You're missing it. You know that Mexican kid, Ramon? Well he's out on the field pulling off a regular circus act. He's dressed up like the cowboys you see in movies, and he 's doing the greatest stunts you ever saw. HH Stan dropped a shoe he'd been about to put on. You say he's riding? he cut in. Do you mean he's got a horse here at school? Didn't you know? It came day before yesterday. His father sent it all the way from Arizona, and he's built a shack to keep it in over -back of the Physics laboratory. I'm going back. Better come on, you fellows. He hurried out. With the others Stan hurriedly finished dressing and followed. It seems to me they 're being mighty nice to this kid, he muttered. They raised a fine little row when I wanted to bring my motorcycle to school this year? The dressing room opened directly on the athletic field. As Stan came out, he saw that a crowd had gathered by the nearest goal posts. Up the field farther he saw Ramon performing. He reached the crowd and edged through to the front. Ramon was pulling off a regular circus act. Seated astride a nervous little black pony, the coiled end of a rawhide riata held with the bridle reins in Eighty-hve ,,- nu A ,,,..nun.,,,- .. M-, ,-, .M dau his left hand and the loop end in his right, the Mexican youth was going through a series of feats that held his spectators spellbound. He would go charging up the field with the loop spinning about him in a perfect circle-now high above his head, now so low that it threatened to entangle his horse 's feet, then he would rope objects yards away with apparent ease. and with an accuracy almost uncanny, then, with his pony travelling full tilt, he would slip to the ground, and while the watchers gasped, calmly bring the animal up on its haunches dozens of feet ahead. Stan watched the exhibition awhile in silence. Then he stepped out in front. Ramon was but a short distance away at the moment. He was holding his pony still-as still as it was possible to hold that fidgety animal-and coiling up his rope after a throw. Say, you 're pretty fair, Stan admitted. I saw a fellow do a stunt in a Wild West Show that l'll bet you couldn't do, though. Ramon looked up. Maybe I couldn't, he said, and then maybe I could. Suppose you tell me what it is that he did 'V' 'Well,', said Stan, he stood a man off fifty feet from him, and took his hat off so clean that he didn 't even spoil the part in his hair. Ramon finished coiling the rope. Let's see, he said, his dark eyes twinkling, you are about fifty feet from here, I think. Well- Here, you! cried Stan. I didn 't mean l wanted you to try it one me! I-J! But even as he spoke, he saw Ramon straighten up in his saddle, and an instant later., a wide black circle came floating toward him. Probably Ramon could really have done what he attempted. M-any spee- tators afterward declared that his throw had been perfect, and that the loop. while in the air, had actually been narrowing down to the size of Stan 's hat. lic that as it may, something occured just then which promptly turned the affair into a fiasco. Ramon's pony, bewildered by the strange objects about it, had been threatening to make trouble ever since the performance began. Now it suddenly decided to do more than threaten, With a quick toss of its head, it jerked the reins free from it master 's hands. Then it began to buck. and some mysterious force suddenly caught Stan up by the feet, carried him through the air for a space, slammed him down and dragged him along for yards and yards. When he finally disentangled himself and stood up. his usually immaculate clothing was a sight to be seen. And his temper had suiiiered little less. He swung angrily on Ramon. ,The other had almost succeeded in quieting his pony. Ile had dismounted and was stroking the animal 's nose. Stan gl,ared at him. I suppose that's your idea of a joke! he sneered. 'tYou think you've done something clever, do you? You think that to throw a fellow down and drag him around, and ruin his clothes- I'm very sorry, said Ramon. I did not mean to trip you up. For any damage I will be glad to pay you. lf Venturo,, here. had behaved himself- Pay me fl' repeated Stan. Ileck! Keep your money! Keep it and buy yourself some clothes-some decent ones. You need them. Ramon stood absolutely still for a moment. Then, asking a nearby youth to hold the now subdued Venturo, he calmly removed the canvas jumper that he wore. H' UI apologize to you. he said, advancing toward Stan. 'tThat should be enough. If it isn't then there is only one way to settle it. Eighty-six ., - . ..... ..... -...-.,--.. --.........,......... .. -.n f ....- . .-.,,,...-.... ,.....-. , . . Oh, you want to fight, do you? asked Stan. All right, Mr. Rowdy from Arizona. Come right ahead. They commenced to sparg but that was as far as they got. Just then big Jack Sanders took a hand in the proceedings. Cut it out! he ordered, thrusting his huge bulk between them. If you don 't, I'll lick both of you. Leave us alone! cried Stan. We're going to fight it out. and you can 't stop us. Can't I? Jack turned to the others, Take care of Ramon, he com- manded. Stooping, he picked Stan up and tucked him under his arm as easily as if he had been handling a baby. Despite the football captain 's efforts at resistance, Jack carried him outside the Held, there he put him down. Forget it, he snapped, in answer to Stan 's reproaches, you'll thank me when you 've had time to think it over. And he was right! Stan did thank him when he had thought it over. I'd feel quite ashamed of myself if I'd given that kid a beating, he said. He's as big as I am, but he must 'be two years younger. I'1n glad you inter- rupted us. That's the spirit! approved Jack. Now, I'll tell you what, I'll ask Ramon up to my room to-night. You drop in about eight and we 'll see if we can patch things up. What do you say? But Stan shook his head. No, thanks, he said eoldly. I don 't think Ramon 's friendship is essential to my peace of mind. No, I rather think I can worry along without it. PART II. A month went by. Ramon gradually yielded to his environment. He dis- carded his western clothes, substituting in their place the up-to-date apparel of the other Irving boys. He made friends. Time brought no relaxation of the tension between him and Stan, however. He avoided the football captain whenever he could, Stan ignored him entirely. Jack Sanders, peace-loving soul that he was, made a few more attempts to bring them together, but finally gave it up in disgust. Though Ramon assimilated the customs of the school, he did not give up his pony. Four or five times a week, he would go to the shack back of the physics laboratory, don a riding habit, saddle Venturo, and take a long ride. Usually he rode along the river bank, for there were few rivers in the arid country where he came from, and the stream charmed him. October passed. November came, bringing with it a chilly, drizzly rain. It was a week before the sun came out. Crossing the campus, the afternoon of the first clear day, Ramon ran into Scoop O'Neil. Scoop seemed to be in a hurry, but he paused a moment. Where you going? he demanded. I thought I would exercise Venture, replied Ramon. He's been penned up all through the rain. Let him wait till tomorrow. The river 's rising, and a lot of us are going over to Hickory Bridge to watch it. Ramon considered. T can go and exercise Venturo also, he said. I'll saddle up and ride over. Then he frowned. Listen, he said, you say you are going to Hickory Bridge. Do you mean you are going out on the bridge? ' ' Of course, ' ' replied Scoop. But-that notice in the hall- Oh, that! It says the bridge is old and rotten, and warns us to keep off Eighty-seven il-uQrI'P'-5 --M-' an -M H.....-,.,. .s...,,, ,saws -'l -.nf--.- it. But nobody pays any attention to that. We go out there all the time. Venturo was stamping around impatiently when Ramon reached him. The boy threw on the saddle, cinched it, and they were off. It was a glorious day, just warm enough to be comfortable, just cold enough to let one know that winter was near. Ramon drew in great breaths of the rain- washed air as he rode along. Mounting a little knoll as he neared the river, he came in full view of Hickory Bridge. Suddenly he jerked in the reins. What was going on over there? Why were they all running about helter-skelter? Why were they point- ing and shouting like that? IIe leaned forward in the saddle. A thrill of excitement went through him. That notice said the bridge was old and rotten. Was it possible that-that- With a muttered exclamation, he dug in his spurs. Venturo leaped forward. Toward the bridge they went at top speed, horse and rider alike, heedless of the treacherous wet ground. Ramon could see more plainly now. His eyes picked out what they had been searching for-a black object out near the center of the river. The crowd. he saw, had left the bridge, and was distributing itself along the bank. Someone was running in his direction. evidently headed for the school. Presently they drew together. It proved to be Jack. Ramon pulled up. Who is it? he cried, raising in his stirrups. It-It's Stan! puffed Jack. Board-broke under him. H93 fell in. I'm g--going for rope. Then his face lightened up. Say-you've got a rope therw-on your saddlwn But Ramon was already oif again. Hc reached the edge of the crowd. The fellows instinctively made way for him, and he galloped through. Only when the water lapped about Venturo's feet did he halt. He loosened his riata. Raising the loop, swinging it about his head, he studied the boy out there struggling in the storm-swollen stream. Stan! Stan! he called, hold up your hands! Do you hear? Hold up your hands, so you can catch the rope if I miss ! But Stan did not hear, or if he did, was too weak to respond. Ramon realized that he could not expect no aid from the youth he was trying to save. For an instant fear clutched at his heart. What if his lariat caught or tangled? VVhat if he miscalculated a foot or two? There would be no chance for a second throw. Once let that rawhide rope get wet and it would twist and coil and be unmanagable for hours. Then, gritting his teeth, he got a grip on himself. Fighting down all thought of failure, he carefully gauged the distance and with a quick flirt of his arm sent the loop out over the swirling water. Five minutes later, Stan was stretched out on the bank., with some three dozen of his fellow students crowding about him, explaining what had happened. G-ee! hc breathed, when he was able to speak at all. I'd stopped fight- ing, and stopped hoping, and almost stopped trying to keep my head out. I was about to shut my eyes and give up-and then some--thing caught me by the shoulders and began pulling me alomg, and the next thing I knew I was up here. He glanced up at Ramon. who stood nearby. To think, after the way I've treated you, it was you who did this! he exclaimed. Ramon flushed awkwardly. You've treated me as well as I could expect, he said. I don 't blame you for getting sore that day on the field. I didn 't mean to trip you up, but I was trying to show off. He paused, studying his feet. It says in the Student, he exclaimed, that you need players for the scrub team. I don 't know much l-Eighty-eight 'ir' 1 L Jw tw' - gn--1 IV M, K , V v. .1,. 1 i,:..e1zag t 1 , , ,see about football, but if you e an use me- With that build of yours? Let's hope I can use you. I'll put you in as end. The season 's almost over, but you 'll get some good practice. And next year-well, if I'm not mightily mistaken, you 'll give somebody an awful scrap for a place on the first tea m next year. And Stan was not mistaken. Ensm KENNINII. Women I. II.

N , TE Cut Soshells There was only one sosl1ell this year, but in fun it was equal to a good many. ln the 'drst place it was open house and everyone came out. The orchestra was great-as our orchestra always is--and the short time allotted was crammed full of fun. No one was bashful and the Paul Jones found an absolute lack of the old clique spirit. Refreshments were served and the dancing continued until the orchestra refused to play longer, forcing us to leave. We did so, with good feeling for the Social Committee in particular, and everyone in general. Football Banquet Girls running everywhere but eventually ending in the kitchen,-tantalizing odors-and hungry boys, could mean but one thing-The Football Banquet! A king's chef couldn 't have cooked a better meal than that prepared by Miss Stewart with the assistance of Miss Hubbell and Miss Elder, and served to the boys by a staff' of girls only too willing to help. The dining room was very prettily decorated with colored balloons which our football boys couldn't resist breaking. Herb McCracken, a former Sewickley player, now football coach at Lafayette College, Mr. Parke. Mr. Conway and Ding McComb, were the speakers of the evening. Next year's captain, Arthur McDonald, received ii hearty welcome when introduced by this season's captain, Keefer Foye. Thoroughly satisfied with themselves and the world, the boys trooped off to Pittsburgh, where they proceeded to amaze the pedestrians by their many antics. - i 5 The show at the Davis ended a very enjoyable evening, and the school's heroes next morning were tired but happy. Thoughts of the Football Banquet may help next year 's team to keep training. for their efforts will be rewarded. Good luck to that team! Sleigh Rides The Seniors started it, ending theirs at Bonsey's. It was hard to get some of them in from the sled ride track, but when eats were announced they came only too willingly. Games and dancing filled the evening with Miss McElree and Mr. Stewart showing them how to do it. The evening was ended by sled-riding home. The same evening the Girl Reserves had their sleigh ride. Next came the Sophomore ride terminating at M-iniek's. When a sleigh ride ends at Minick's, it 's not necessary to say that the party had a good time,-the name says that. Well then, the Freshmen thought they 'd show them how it should be done, and a few nights later, away they went in a two horse open sleigh. From what we understand the Class of '29 is far from lacking in spirit. On this we congratulate them. The Juniors? ! It must have been too cold-or are they saving up that excess energy for the Junior Prom and their next year 's activities. They didn 't have a sleigh ride but just wait and see! Ninety-one it . at V 5 an-bf f ' -F. ..-s.- l 1 l l l-lalloWe'en Party lt was our first big party this year and was held in the pavilion as a change from previous times. After determining the beginning from the end of the line in the Grand March. we paraded before the judges who Cin the array of various costumesl had a hard time choosing the best. The march next found its way to the auditorium, where an exceptionally good program was given, leading us to believe that we have no little talent in Old S. H. S. After the prizes were given to those who justly deserved them, we again went to the pavilion where a part of our Hi School Collegiate Grchestra coaxed us to dance on Mr. Conway 's New Floor. The dances were interspersed with a peanut race, a pie-eating contest, and a trombone solo by Nevin Muzzy. The Prize Waltz was won by Keefer Foye and his partner, Marygray Anderson. Last but not least, the refreshments which took Sonny VVatson and her staff of assistants all afternoon to prepare, certainly did justice to the work of the girls. The many who went back the second time were not refused a second helping. With the strains of the Home Waltz, everyone vowed that it was the best Hallowe'en Party yet. All together now, nine rahs for the Social Committee! Tied-Victory Party To beat Cory didn't seem so hard when we were informed that if vic- torious, a dance would be held at the HY. However, the Cory boys also had some such thing in sight. When the hard fought game resulted in a tie, we decided that even that was a victory and the gathering that evening was a merry one. Much credit is due to those who furnished the music. We only hope that next year the dance will celebrate the winning of the game by a large score. Christmas Dance All out to the Y after school to see Santa Claus! Our little darlings all went trooping up and were not disappointed. The Freshmen were so excited that they could hardly wait, but after several dances Santa arrived. The things he gave! Many were rather embarrassed, but the gifts were very appropriate. Santa 's voice was rather weak, and he had shrunken in size since last year. but lie's still Santa. Dancing was resumed and the time allowed was only too short. hardly giving us time to greet those of the Alumni, home for the holidays. We must admit that the old clique spirit has been entirely done away with, and our good will is growing better and better with each dance. Ninety-two Senior Parties It takes the Seniors to do things and the party held at Billie Hanlon 's home was just the beginning of their many social triumphs. Others followed, one being held at Robert Ritchey 's and another at Jessie Thornton 's. Did they have a good time? Judge for yourself. Cards, other games and dancing made each evening one of the most enjoyable a Senior ever had. Each good time was crowned by refreshments, and when the dignified upper classmen left, it was always with the wish that the evening were a little bit longer. unior Prom There was no blare of bugles, but there should have been, for the occasion was worth it. The lack of pep which had been prevalent in the Junior Class throughout the year was overcome in no time. That so-active Junior Association, the Alerts, had a lot to do with its going, well, they had their own little parties. so those who didn 't know how to dance, learned, and were in good trim by the time of the Prom which was held May 7th at the Y, All that good music, pretty decorations and a lively crowd can do, went toward making the Prom the success it was. The old Y didn 't look the same, all dressed up in its rainbow decorations, with bunches of colored balloons completing the etfect. These balloons were later let down and the fun that followed went toward making this dance the merriest of the evening. Lucky was the lad or lass who succeeded in escaping with a balloon! Next was a Paul J ones-then a Tag Dance, and the crowd grew merrier! The distribution of confetti came as a climax. For some, remnants of confetti was the only thing they succeeded in carrying home. To top off the evening, Mr. Nirella, the orchestra leader, gave us a special number. From the Grand March to the Home Waltz, the Prom given by the Class of '27 was a huge success. Time, however, will pass, and at the chiming of twelve o'clock, our evening was over. Those who graduate can only wish next year 's class as good a time, and next year 's class can but look hopefully to the Class of '28.

Later, when the sun's rays furnish you free heat, is the time to think about your house heating for the next cold weather. The warmth that now pushes the thermometer up will not be avail- able then. The heat that warms you then will have to be bought with real money, and the question of how much it will cost depends entirely upon the effectiveness of your Heating Equip- ment.
