Senior Class History Hur class of lfliil in its four years in the High School has been drawn more closely together than any other class that we know. As we think of those Freshman days when we were one hundred and llllle strong, scattered over four report rooms, we realize how fully we have become identified with each other in the course of our lite together. .ln 213, the new Senior Room, this last year ot our days in high school. are left only forty-six brilliant students who have striven for eleven years to reach the twelfth and last grade. VVe seven who, starting into Kindergarten together formed the nucleus of our group, added ten to our number in the first grade. 'We greatly regret the loss of so many during the high school years. but such things cannot be avoided. From those dear old Freshman days until the very last of our school life we have shown our loyalty to the school and our class. VVe accomplished this in several ditt'e1-ent ways: - Our debaters upheld the school in both our Junior and Senior years. Last year we reached the county semi-finals-this year the hV6St8I'11 Pennsylvania semi-finals. llesides debaters our class boasts of an orator and a clarinet soloist, both of whom are champions of Allegheny County. A reader representing our school, too, has added to our reputation. Dramatic ability is very prevalent among us. The successes ot many of the school plays were due to members of our illustrious class. As salesmen we cannot be surpassed. We were once rewarded with a half day 's vacation tor selling the most tickets in the school. Then, too, we made the Sewihi ol' this year possible by our determined efforts. During the football season ot our Junior year, the girls earned seventy-six dollars selling hot dogs. This is the very best record known in the school 's history. The success of our Prom was inevitable, because we had no financial worries. Probably all our successes are due to the fact that taken as a whole we are a very intelligent group. This was proven by our intelligence tests grades, which ranked higher than average high school classes. Now that ctmmniencement is upon us, we find that it has not the lure and excitement we expected. On the contrary, it is with regret that we leave the life ot' which we for so long have been a part.

'l'he year was begun with a sincere and enthusiastic determination to make the 151131 -lunior Class one to be always remembered. NVith this as our goal, we have put forth our best etiforts, and now, as We look back upon the year, we are conscious of a feeling, not of self-satisfaction, but ot' happiness in a task well done. We l1ave been particularly fortunate in being endowed With a number of excellent students and athletes, who have brought honor to their elass. They have represented the Juniors in all branches of endeavor including' the football, basketball, and gym teams, dramatics, the stage guild, thc Forensic Contests, tllee Club, and tl1e Sewihi statt. Such tasks as the sale of play tickets were entrusted to us, and were taken care of in a most satisfactory manner. The girls sold hot dogs at thc football games, adding to the money in the treasury. Neither have our failings been few, but the faculty and the Seniors have always extended a generous helping hand, and so with continued courage, we shall do our utmost to be a Senior Class worthy of our school.

'l'he class was so large that it was housed in four home-roonis. However, home-room organizations made us feel quite well acquainted with each other. XVe were permitted for the tirst time to have some choice as to what We would study. The four courses from which we chose are: academic, commercial, mathematical, and general. Besides entering into new fields ot study, our social activities were increased. Room 103 entertained us at a delightful masquerade party in the gym, the only regret We might have is that llallowe'en comes but once a year.

Last September -1, Sewiekley High School was faxoied with another addition of about seventy-five pupils. It took us quite a while to get accustomed to the new ways, but we finally became quite well acquainted with the rules and regulations of our Junior High. - Vile held our elections in room 107. Priscilla VVelday and Richard Nauniin were elected as our representatives in Student. Council. VVe had been here only a few weeks when we took charge of a p1 ogram for the Junior High weekly assembly. My! we were proud of ourselves. XVe are really a very bright class, but our teachers do not seein to appropiate us.

For the most part we were inexperienced in ensemble work, but hard work and Miss Glenn's patient. instruction soon overcame that difficulty.

After the selection of the main characters, choruses and dances were picked and practice progressed rapidly. The action takes place on board a ship, which is used as a. school by the Middle Maids. Adella Minick made the part of the stern Captain very realistic, while Elizabeth Hegner played the Admiral with great dignity. Gwendolyn Kirk, the Engineer, felt quite lost on the ship until the authoress, Marion Siekeler. discovered that she really belonged to the Oshkosh Limited, and wrote a. song to comfort her. The authoress was dragged otf by Margaret Handy, the pastry cook, while the instructress. Alice Purvis, confided her troubles to Molly Maloy, the heroine, played by Virginia Wynn. Garnet Buck, as stage manageress, had a hard time keeping her properties straight. A divert- ing trio, Ulumsy Clara, Careless Carry, and Sympathetic Susan, respectively Betty Schuler, Mary Roche and Helen Ford, united in an eccentric song and danceg Helene Smith was Mademoiselle Pom Pom, the poor French miss who wished she were back in dear Parcef' The chorus of Middie Maids vented its feeling several times by Hornpipe dances, Ensembles, and numerous songs. Those who took part in the Hornpipe were Virginia Rhodes, Mary Roche, Dorothy Ohlman. Jane Tiernan, Hazel Norton and Mary liorrimer. The ensemble was Dorothy Fisher, Marion Richards, Garnet Buck and Alice l'urvis. The pastry cooks, led by Margaret Handy, were Mary Egler, Sara, Scott, Dorothy Fisher, Marion Richards and Ruth Robinson. The dances were under the direction of Miss Lila Copeland, whom we wish to thank for her timely assistance and willing cooperation. Mrs. Egolf, who taught and coached us, certainly deserves much of the credit for our success. MARGARET YEAKEL, '31.

This year the Stage Guild hecaine a part of the Thespiau Club which niade it more interesting. Mr. Stroup, our capable leader, gave ns many interesting talks on draina and the stage. which helped us out eonsiderahly. The nucleus of the eluh was eoinposed of lieo Meyer, Richard Morris, -lack Hanlon, Paul lialles, Charles Stone, and Donald Stein, stage manager. The new inenibers for the year were James Crooks, Ralph lllay, Charles Halles, Robert XYise, Donald Stotfel, George Purdy, liohert Cochran, and Russell XVright. At the heginning of the year the 11ew inemhers were instructed in the fundanientals of stage craft. The first project completed hy the Guild was the reconditioning and painting of all of the stage sets. The ineinhers of the Guild her-ame very proficient in their work and handled the plays presented during the year with a. pleasing and excellent efficiency. The feats of stage setting, seenery construetion, and seenic lighting aceoniplished hy the Guild in the High St-hool productions ealled forth eonsideralile favorahle eoinnients.

Nowhere could he find the desired type, until one evening he found his object in one of the night courts. lle called her the Brat, and when the Brat made her appearance on the stage, We were all satisfied that she had been properly named. The play was interesting, lively, and well acted due to the more than excel- lent direction of Mr. Stroup and the conscientious eitorts of those taking part. NNe are very fortunate in having Mr. Stroup to coach our plays not only because of his wide experience in dramaties, but also because of his unstinted efforts to make the play a success. Great care was exercised in the choice of the east for the Brat as we wanted a really good play for our Thespian presentation. Marion Rand played the anxious mother, Worrying over her Wayward son, Stephen, yet finding exquisite joy in her brilliant son, Maclllillan. Jack llettron, as Maelllillan Forrester, gave us a good interpretation of the wealthy, sophisticated author. He became more than casually interested in the Brat to the great concern of his mother. Ile showed a decided dislike for the somewhat. reproachable conduct of his younger brother, Stephen. Jack Schroeder played Stephen, the fun-loving younger brother of MacMillan, to the satisfaction of all concerned. James Fullman gave an equally line performance on Thursday night. Helen Carroll and Anna Opuda, as the Brat, certainly had to work hard to play the part of a 'Brat. Those of us who know them realize that they are anything but the part they played. Yet they worked hard and entered into the part with fine grace. Edward Ruff, as the jocund Bishop, often pepped up the dreary rehearsals by his Well timed wit. We all enjoy lCdward's com- pany. Jane Mitchell played Jane, a co-author with lllaeMillan. Jane displayed a decided liking for Mac, which, however, did not arouse any similar feeling in him. Mary Thorne XVhite gave a very fine interpretation of the sophisticated, look-me-over type. She seemed successful in ensnaring Mac into a proposal. Paul Balles, as Timson, the Butler, and Elizabeth Rye, as Margot. the chamber- maid, showed us just how a butler and a chambermaid should act. Shirley Campbell, as the Bishopls wife, with Jean Emmert, as Dot, her young daughter, also ably aided the production of The Bratf' Every member of the cast promised Mr. Stroup and -lane Mitchell, student directress, before rehearsals began that they would work hard, give their best and not skip rehearsals. We feel satisfied that the east kept their pledge, and Sewiekley High School is proud of its able dramatic director and of those students who so willingly gave their time and effort to make the play Worth- while. Certainly, we all enjoyed the plays on the evenings of April twenty- third and twenty-fourth in the High School Auditorium. ALEX GRAY, '31 .

Nevertheless, the team proved that they were capable of fighting hard under some of the most hopeless circumstances and proved their mcttle by never quitting until the final whistle blew. ln many cases the Red and Blue outplayed their opponents, but when the punch was needed to put the ball over, a something lacking caused the loss of much hard-earned ground. The student body gave their loyal support and cheered the team well throughout the entire season. Remembering the close, hard-fought battle with Crafton last year, Sewickley was ready for a fight and a victory. After continuous line bucks and end-runs, the half ended 7-0 i11 our opponents' favor, and in the remainder of the game the fast halfbacks of the foes cinched the game with a score 19-0. After a good practice Sewickley challenged McDonald, but in this game our team was outclassed, Zlllll the fast game ended in our defeat. In our next clash Beaver, using a perfect aerial attack, won 20-0. More hard luck! Tony Bova injured his shoulder and was out of games the remainder of the season. The Bellevue game came and went leaving us only sad memories. lmprovements could be seen as our coach Mr. VVinne emphasized tl1e early training more strict, Mr. Thome's special coaching began to show more definite results, and Messrs. Stroup and Conway acted as advisors. All set for a real battle. Sewickley showed Ambridge some tough opposition and surprised them by driving them down field, but after a good tussle, Ambridge won 19-0. Since the last game proved to be a practical victory, our team expected to win over Avalon. NVhen one of our lineman recovered the ball on the goal line, our hefty fullback, Bob lVise, made our touchdown, but on two consecutive inter- cepted forward passes which counted as goals for Avalon our chances of winning were destroyed. Again it happenedg Coraopolis enjoyed another victory at the expense of our squad. but led by our courageous captain, Joe Cook, every player fought hard. The last game with Ben Avon likewise proved a defeat. lVe owe thanks to Mr. lVinne, Mr. Stroup, and Mr. Thome for their patience in coaching the team, and to Donald Slem, as manager, Robert Cochran and Charles Mclieen as capable assistant managers. The substitutes, Cly, Stoifel, Bova, Meyers, Mays, McConnell, deserve a great deal of credit for their fine wo1'k. The members of the 1930 football team leave Sewickley High School with the hope that the squad of 1931 will bring victory to the Red and Blue.

Much can be said in favor of these quick, peppy players. They went into the game in earnest, determined to win if they could, and they did. There was excellent cooperation among the girls. They were quick and accurate in their movements, and points were gained rapidly and easily by their excellent forwards. The forwards' success depended largely on the wonderful playing of the guards. All in all, the Sophomores have a splendid record for this year, having won every game they played. The other teams who suffered greatly at the hands of the Sophomores took their medicine like good sports. The Seniors did their best, but did not aiford much competition for the other teams. The Juniors, most of the girls being tall, made quick work of the Seniors and Freshmen, but they could not stand up against the fierce attack of the flashy, little Sophs. The Freshmen defeated the Seniors in one hard-fought game but came out on the little end of the score in their other games. They fought hard and did their best to hold their heads above water, but in the end they were forced down. The season, as a whole, was made successful only through the efforts of all the girls, who played the game fairly and were good sports, whether they won or lost. HEI.,EN ITEGNER, '3l.

Aside from having our regular class entertainments. the students had the pleasure of meeting many of Sew1ckley's prominent citizens, who spoke on choosing a vocation, also other speakers who kept us in touch with outside events.

So, of course, he'll give us the money for her, I heard the end of the conversation. So, they were about to hold me for ransom, I thought, thor- oughly frightened. I was getting desperate. I must do something to save my father from ruin. Ah ha! I spied a gun on the table. Could I get it without their seeing me? I gently crawled along the floor. A board ereaked beneath me, and-no, they hadn't heard. After crawling a. frightfully long distance, I reached the table. I quietly slipped 1ny hand up the table leg.

Pulling myself up I set about to find a way of escape. In the darkness I discovered a door. Quietly I unlatehed it, quickly I bolted it shut again. I had narrowly escaped death. Behind this locked door was a hungry lion. Thoroughly frightened, I l1u11ted for another means of escape. I must get out. At last after a long search I discovered a tunnel leading to the outside world. The tunnel was more like a cave because of the moisture dripping from its roof. As I neared daylight I became excited and began to run. My foot hitting a. stone in the way, gave way to a. big boulder which pinned my foovt under it. At this I gave up in distress. Above me the earth was shaking as though an earthquake was going on. Oh! a big rock was rolling towards me. Any minute it would hit me-which meant death.

The indomitable spirit of Clemenceau seems to live on its pages, and the incidents and conversation related give an insight into the primitve, yet cultured, nature of the man. Mr. Martet's volume is written in a novel, entertaining manner. No dull facts of birth, childhood, and early life except as they are brought into thc book in Clemenceau's own conversation, but vivid, surprising scenes into all of which he strides with masterful action do we find. This book is a history of France, before, during, and after the great World VVar, history presented at such close range that it seems like a drama., but in history or drama, which ever it be, always we find Clemenceau stalking majestically across the stage, swaying us by the very power of his will and stamping irrevocably upon our minds the force of his colorful personality. All else fades beside his glorious story, other personages pale to insigniticance in the face of his moving ability. Clemenceau the statesman, Clemenceau the philosopher, Clemenceau the worker, above all, Clemenceau the man lives again between the covers of this book, a fitting memorial to the Tiger of France. M.XRG.KRET YEAKEL, '31, The Strenuous Life Theodore Roosevelt Theodore Roosevelt 's name stands out in American history as one of our most prominent statesmen. Besides being a great man in governmental affairs, Roosevelt was loved because of his strong character and clever mind. The strenuous life, as most of us think of it, is one to avoid. Yet how many of us would really desire a life of leisure and pleasure, a life with no aim, with no troubles or tribulations? I dare say that we would all choose the strenuous life. By that life I mean one marred by unhappiness, as Well as happiness, and misfortunes along with fortunes. If we did not have various difficulties to overcome, we would never feel that glorious satisfaction and peace of mind which comes after accomplishing something great. This is what Theodore Roosevelt tried to reveal to his country. Of course they could turn away from the responsibilities that confronted them in directing their possessions, Hawaii, Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines, but this was not living the strenuous life, this was the easiest way. The United States must not shrink from its duty and leave to their fate these islands which they have acquired. They must confront the problem with a strong mind and solve it.

Hypatia Charles Kingsley Hypatia was a Greek philosopher, renowned for her knowledge of mathe- matics and philosophy, her teaching of which at Alexandria drew students from all over the East. She was a very beautiful woman but met a tragic death, as did so many of the women of early years. Being accused of influencing Orestes, prefect of Alexandria, Hypatia was attacked by a mob led by priests, dragged into a. church, stripped of her clothing, and killed. This romance, t'Hypatia, is a story of life in the fifth century and deals with the struggle to establish Christianity in the countries of the East. As well as showing the evils that were done in those days, it also portrays some of the good things done, for example, Hypatia 's teachings which were beneficial along educational lines. Mr. Kingsley wrote this romance about the year 1853 and has the following to say about it: Hypatia was written to set forth Christianity as the only really democratic creed and philosophy, above all, spiritualism as the most exclusively aristocratic creed. He also says that Hypatia is a most vigorous sketch of Christianity. ln my mind, the most interesting character in this romance was Philammon, the monk. He was such a brave and courageous character, always wanting to do good, but in the end, he turned out to be a coward and a murderer in his sister's eye, because he had murdered her lover. It seems to me that almost any senior in high school would enjoy reading 'tliypatiaf' It helps one to realize more clearly the evils which existed on this earth before Christianity was adopted. The book contains some history, and for this reason, was very interesting and enjoyable to read. SARA Soofrr, '31. Quality Street James M. Barrie Have you ever wished that you had lived back in those romantic years when ladies wore hoop skirts and peeped coquettishly over little lace fans and read by the light of a flickering candle-when meek little ladies lived on quiet little streets and loved with a quiet little love and occasionally dared a bold little deed to express their love, thus subjecting themselves to much criticism? James M. Barrie gives us such a picture in his play Quality Street. The plot is sweet and delicate, and yet fascinating enough to hold our interest untiinchingly until the curtain drops over the last scene. Sixty-two ll ll ll ll ll il ll ll ll ll ll ll l ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll ll The play is pleasantly amusing, for the care and anxiety of the three little ladies of Quality Street stirs one's sympathy somewhat and yet thoroughly amuses one. The utter helplessness of Miss Phoebe as schoolmistress of the pitiful little school, the reproach and anxiety of Miss Susan when Miss Phoebe exposes her plan of fooling Captain Brown, the sudden and very unexpected climax when Captain Brown tells Miss Livvy of his love for Miss Phoebe-all these things help to make the play quite convincing and interesting. It is a romantic comedy, and yet it is not entirely a comedy in the general sense of the word. The philosophy of life which lies behind this light comedy is a sweet one. It shows one how worth while it was for Miss Phoebe to be gentle and patient and work faithfully, trying all the while to overcome her disappointment and heartbreak at Captain Brown's departure and yet loving him with all her heart, and when one discovered that he really loved her it made one want to clap like children do in the theater when the hero kills the villain. Barrie's characters are very realistic, and his dialect is charming. MARY THORNE WIIITE, '3l. The Bridge of San Luis Rey Thornton Wilder The Bridge of San Luis Reyn is one of the best books I have ever read. I do not understand all of the author's philosophy, but therein lies half the beauty for me. I have read it twice, and I think I could get some more out of it if I read it again. If you like a good study of characters and emotions, you will enjoy this book. One day a bridge broke and precipitated five people to their deaths. Brother Juniper, who witnessed the tragedy, wondered why these five should have been taken. He gathered all the material he could concerning their lives and habits. He found that it was a blessing that they had died because they were all unhappy. People loved them a little more after they had died than when they were alive. Therefore there was more victory for them in death than in life. Uncle Pio is, to my mind, the most interesting character in the book. He works and strives and Hghts in order to help a girl to success and all he gets in return for his labors is scorn. The Marquessa had tried by every possible means to win her daughter's love and, respect, but her efforts were also in vain. Repeated failures drove her insane. Maybe it is just as well that she died. Esteban, who could not live without his twin brother, Pepita, who would slave for hours for a slight nod of satisfaction from the abbessg and little Jaimi, lonely and without any playmates, all died when the bridge fell. Although the scene of the story is laid in Peru, the book depends for little or nothing upon the setting. However, there are some interesting sidelights in the chapter about Uncle Pio on stage life in Peru. And maybe the truth of the theme will impress you as it did me. ALEXANDER IIAMILTON. Uncle Tom's Cabin Harriet Beecher Stowe Slavery-what thought is immediately produced! Uncle Tom's Cabin, a very impressive novel by Harriet Beecher Stowe, depicts the deplorable condi- tion of the slaves at the time of the Civil War. It is judged by the usual literary as an inferior book, yet taking its intluence upon human life as a measure, it must be rated one of the great books of all time. It was very popular at the Sixty-three ll ll il ll ll II ll II ll Il Il 'll1'lI ' ll ll ll ll ll II Il ll ll ll II ll time of publication, and must have l1ad a. considerable effect in winning freedom for the Negro race in America. The horrors of slavery are painted in bright colors by tracing the history of Uncle Tom, a. faithful old slave, who is sold because of his master's loss of fortune. First he goes to a kind master and he has a happy life. After' a few years he has the misfortune to be sold once more, this time to a cruel master, Simon liegree, who tyrannizes over him, and finally, while in a burst of wrath, has him so severely tlogged that he dies from his wounds. The escape of Eliza, a fugitive slave, from the blood-hounds, the death of liittle Eva, daughter of one of Tom's masters, and a slave auction of the most heartless sort arouse your emotions to the highest degree. NVe, the people of the North, fought victoriously for the abolition of slavery. VVe thought that we understood all the sufferings of that terrible menace. The cruel treatment which the slaves experienced was nothing more than feudalism in full bloom. One eould not help feeling sorry for these afflicted people tin their attempts to escape. The breaking up of families and the selling of them is one of the most emotional scenes 1 have ever read. Although l hope this horrible and deploring situation remains i11 the background forever, l enjoyed reading this novel, for it made the state of affairs so real. Your emotional feelings are very much aroused in the course of the book. ELIzAnE'ru HEGNER. Birnam Wood Hllntil great Birnam VVo0d to high Dunsinane hill shall comefl NVhen one takes tl1c literal meaning from this quotation, it is an absolute impossibility-but, it happened, not in the literal sense, of course. The sentence arouses much wonder and curiosity in this manner-I wonder how this will be accomplished? or how will Shakespeare deal with this statement when the time comes to make it clear? or how could one justify such a rash statement? This is how all these questions were answered. As you know, Malcolm is marching, reinforced by the Scotch army, to Dunsinane to avenge the murder of his father, King Duncan. On their way, they come to liirnam NVood, where, to hide the number in the army, they hew clown branches to carry before them. Then they march on again toward Dnnsinane, where Macbeth is, carrying the branches from the trees of Birnam VVood. VVhat other practical solution to this problem could be given? The way Shakespeare solves it gives one a. surprise, because all through the play, one looks for a. miracle to be performed to bring together the two permanent fixtures mentioned. lint it is explained so easily and so naturally that it really is a miracle. This little touch of the extraordinary creates an interest throughout the play, and it is characteristic of all of Shakespeare 's work. One can read any of his productions with the conviction that, somewhere, there will be some catchy, little phrase to stir and stimulate the interest.. N.xoM1 HUNTER, '31, The Mysterious Disease There were six strong, healthy looking fellows. The first clay went wel! and they all stood a good chance of living. The food we let down to them was eaten with little complaining. On the morning of the second day the terrible 7 Sixty-four il ll H Il ll ll Il It ll ll -il ll The Ideal Boy of the Class of '31 ll ll II Il ll ll ll ll II ll II ll disease came upon them and by night two of them had died, leaving behind no clue as to the nature of the disease. The next day at about noon the third victim passed away. It was a pitiful sight to see them standing around waiting to see who was going next. They died without a sound, giving several deep breaths, and that was the end. On morning of the fourth day, there was only one of the six still living. He had been the strongest and best looking fellow in the group, but during the afternoon he became very hysterical, knowing that he would be the next victim of the mysterious death. VVe could not make him eat a thing. The following morning we went to see how he was getting along, but alas, he was dead, though not by the hand of the mysterious death. He had strangled himself on the wire mesh that covered the front of the coop. Thus ended my first experience at attempting to raise baby chicks. VICTOR Rossi, '31. Alfred Flora's ..

A4 One day, during a lull in business, two bootblacks, one black and one white, were standing idle, when the white boot-black agreed to black the black bootlilaok's boot. The black bootblack was willing to have his boots blacked by his fellow bootblack, and the bootblack who had agreed to black the black boot- black's boots went to work. VVhen the bootblack had blacked one of the black bo0tblack's boots, this bootblack who had agreed to black the black bootblackis boots refused to black the other boot. of the black bootblack unless the black bootblack, who had C011- sented to have the white bootblack black his boots, should add five cents to the amount the white bootblack had made blacking other ll16I1'S boots. This the bootblack whose boot had been blacked refused to do, saying it was good enough for a black bootblack to have one boot blacker and he didn't care whether thc boot that tl1e bootblack hadn't blacked was blacked or not. This made the bootblack who had blacked the black bootblack's boot as angry as a bootblack often gets, and he vented his black wrath by spitting on the blacked boot of the black bootblack. This roused the black bootblack, and he proceeded to boot the white bootblack with the boot that the white bootblack had blacked. A tight then ensued, in which the bootblack who had refused to black the unblackened boot of the black bootblack blacked the black bootblack's eye and the black bootblack wore all the blacking off his blacked boot in booting the white bootblack.
