It is our opportunity to give our country some of the benefit which we have received from it. Now that we are in the struggle it is our duty to be of the greatest possible use ' it is the men’s privilege to aid the country directly by fighting or by carrying on necessary business. The women’s part is equally important, as they can relieve distress, release men, and economize in many ways. We believe that the success of the war depends upon every individual doing his part. Are we prepared to do ours ? Do we yet appreciate how deeply the war must affect us? The Seniors of ’17 are likely to be the first class of South to be broken up by war. A year hence we may find our fellow students much scattered and in various occupations. If the past four years have been spent profitably we should have the fortitude to shoulder our small part of the world’s cares. It is difficult to realize that the boys whom we have known so well for four years may soon be on the other side of the ocean. They are glad to be old enough to be of use to their country. Although their task is hard, in many ways it will benefit them. When they are no longer needed and return to enter college or business they will have experience behind them which will make them better prepared for serious work. We cannot help thinking of those who will never return. They will have proved themselves worthy of the land which our forefathers so stanchly defended. Our boys are just as patriotic as ever, and the emergency is all that is needed to bring out their manly qualities. 8 The girls have a part, too. Some, by acquiring a college education, will he better fitted to help reconstruct the nation after the war. Some will take posi- tions in order to release men. Others, who have spare time, may take Red Cross courses and help make necessary supplies. There are countless ways in which we may be of service, hut one excellent way is by practicing economy. In many respects we might be more saving. It would help the food supply greatly if we would cultivate available space, and, having the food, see that none is wasted. Economy in dress is also important. We need less change of style and less variety. In amusements we might cut down expenses. Our minds would not be injured seriously if we frequented the movies less, in fact, we might be driven to books for entertainment. The time of patriotic boasts and display is past. This is a time of true, practical patriotism. We are to be weighed in the balance, and if we are not found wanting, we shall be better because of the test. Although the war is neces- sarily full of horror, it is possible to benefit by it, and when it is over the world should have established truer standards. ifdpful iSfinta S OUTH is suffering a great loss in parting with the Seniors, and realizing that we have set a very high standard, we feel it is our duty to give a little timely advice to those who must take our place. First, remember that Seniors are always said to be dignified. This means that it is not proper for you to mount the banister at the third floor and ride to the first we never did. It also means that you should see that your dignity is respected by the Freshies. This is such a difficult task that I hardly know how to advise you, for we were never entirely successful. One can but do his best. However, with the new South Hills High to receive the surplus verdure, your task should be easier. Seniors are models in the matter of marks: they never strive for any- thing below an E. If you can get anything higher you will be the object of awe and admiration. Think of the grades of this year’s class ; you will have to make a colossal effort to surpass them. We realize that succeeding such a brilliant class, your path will be especially trying. Furthermore, Seniors are always punctual. We never had a tardy mark — • at least, if we had, it was because the bell rang before we arrived. Never talk in study period, (unless it is convenient) for even Seniors are occasionally sent to the D. T. You see, the objection to talking in study hour is that it sets a bad example to the Freshmen, who come to us so young that their little minds are very impressionable. To be brief, if you make A’s in all subjects, if you speak only when spoken to, if you use no slang, if you are never absent or late, if you possess perfect school spirit, you are an ideal student. But if you should be one of these rare specimens, we would extend our sincere sympathy. We do not see how anyone could ask for a more desirable class than we have been, so if you come up to our standard you will have a much better time than you would by being perfect students. 9 JtfamurU F ( n ' k y ears a K°- when we, as trembling 1 ’Veshies, saw the strange rooms of vSoutli, the stern teachers, and the sea of unfamiliar faces, we wondered whether we would live to graduate. I ut we u e no longer afraid of getting lost while passing from room to room; we have found the teachers very human and those strange faces belong to old friends. The years, which once seemed so endless, have passed quickly. In- stead of rejoicing in freedom we cannot leave without regret. We have had so many good times and formed so many pleasant friendships that we feel like a large family. We have the distinction of being the last class to graduate from South while the school is complete, for next year many students will he sent to the South Hills High. We have been asked whether we did not wish we might be the first class to graduate from the new building, but we prefer to be the last class to leave South before it is divided. After spending approximately forty-eight hundred hours at South High we naturally have great affection for it. We shall think fondly of even the portables, for what would we have done without the chicken coops to ridicule ? Crowded conditions have not seriously inconvenienced us ; in fact, they have made us better acquainted. In many respects our school life has been very enjoyable. We have found our faculty perfectly splendid. They have been most sympathetic in our trials, helpful in our difficulties, and interested in our activities. We are sure our friends are worthy of the name, for we have had opportunities to see the best and the worst of each other. Having so many fond recollections, we leave regretfully. We know that we shall part with many friends as well as with South, for as our ways part it will be impossible to see much of our classmates. We hope that the future Seniors may feel the inspiration of the schools lofty standards. Here ' s to South, may she live long and keep up her good work ! uUjank fxm T HE compiling of a Class Book involves much labor. We have been sur- prised and delighted with the splendid spirit of the Seniors. Many entered upon the literary work, so that the class did not rest while a few assumed the burden. We wish to thank our faculty advisors for their untiring energy. Though helpful, they gave us all possible freedom in the expression of our own ideas. The financial side is always important. Miss Baker kindly shared the pro- ceeds of the concert with the Class Book fund. We Seniors did not do our part in selling tickets, and we were the objects of so much ridicule that we went after advertisements with unusual vim. We appreciate the kindness of those who gave us ads. Why not turn to the back pages and make the acquaintance of our financial friends? They deserve our patronage, so that advertising in the “Oriole” may become a matter of business and not a favor. 10 ODC WINNING HIS STRIPES • at buSy ’ bustlm throng that hurried to and fro on Fifth Avenue hL -fTl k £ lty ’ a y° un f man ’ J ack Bradley by name, was walking briskly toward HornCompany 0 ” W S asslstant sales mana g e r of the “Clearout Auto of St ° kke sbor t an d found himself reading the sign in front He Join the Army — America Needs Yon. lanced around and saw that standing by the door of the recruiting- foil i ,-,-1-1 4- f _ O office was a tall, straight man in uniform. “Looks good enough,” he muttered to himself. Then with another glance at the sign he hurried on. But some unseen force seemed to be holding him back. He stopped and looked around. A very appealing look was on the face of the officer at the door. Nevertheless, Jack went on with a determined gait. Hardly another half square was passed when right under his nose was another sign — - Join the U. S. Navy — Help Your Country! , . , My, but (J id n t the Yankee sailor in the picture have an appealing look upon his heroic face . Jack began to feel that he was a slacker. “You are a slacker!” screamed a little voice in his brain. Reluctantly he walked on He entered the office building and stepped into the elevator. And all the time that little voice was hammering in his brain : “You’re a sneak! You’re a coward! You ' re a shirker and a slacker ' Hey everybody, this little pig stayed at home!” He looked around to make sure that no one was listening to the mysterious 12 WINNING HIS STRIPES voice. It worried him. lie heartily wished that he had not passed that sign. lie entered the office, hung- up his hat and spoke a polite good-morning to the stenographer. 1 le dropped into his desk chair and began to look ovei that huge, weary stack ot mail, — the first care of the day- Ah, there was Popular Mechanics , his favorite magazine. As he laid it aside his eye was captivated by the picture on the front. He picked it up and beheld, in bold colors, an aviator in his machine. It was Jack’s sole ambition. Like a bolt of lighting, an idea crossed his mind — “The Aviation Corps !” Lie leaped to his feet, grabbed his hat and dashed out the door — all in ten seconds, leaving the astonished stenographer to gape open-mouthed after him in amazement at his rude and unceremonious departure. Lie dashed down the street like a madman and disappeared into the door of the Navy recruiting station. “Do you take applications for the aviation corps!” he gasped. “Yes,” answered the officer in charge, “but why all the rush? Llere, Sergeant is a recruit for aviation. Sign here, sir; then follow the sergeant for examination.” Tack signed and then went with the sergeant into the next room. The conversation was something like this : “Excellent eyesight. Heart’s in good condition. Lungs all right. Dandy chest expansion. Best specimen we ' ve had in here for a good while. Wait here just a minute.” Jack sat down and the sergeant left the room. The next moment he heard behind him a loud crack of a pistol. Jack calmly looked around and there stood the sergeant, smoking revolver in hand, smiling. “Ha, I see you’re not easily excited. You’ll do. Report here to-morrow morning at eight.” .... . As Jack left the recruiting office, the little voice inside spoke again, but calmer and milder this time: “Now you’re a real man!” Five minutes later he entered the office. Hanging up his hat, he made a dash for the door marked “President and Manager. He opened the door, entered, and slammed it after him. Inside he grabbed his father by the arms, and pulling the old man from his chair, danced him about the office no less than seven times. “What th’, — Whassa matter, Sonny !” gasped the astonished parent. “Oh, Dad!” was all Jack could say. . . . , When Jack had gotten over his mania, the old man sank into Ins chair and mopped the beads of perspiration from his forehead. Apparently, by the way he took it, Mr. Bradley was used to this kind of treatment. “What’s hit you now, son ?” he said at last. Jack was thoroughly cooled down now, and was sitting on the edge of the desk. “Dad, I’ve joined the aviation corps.” “Glad to hear it, my boy, — congratulations!” Jack shook the extended hand warmly. 13 WINNING HIS STRIPES Non see. lie explained, “Grandpa used to tell me stories of the annv Tin r , 1 K navy : - w ™ 1 -� ££ zz lilt I ought to do something. !, ) ° ’ t ' y t0 a ' ,olo K ize - J ack -” “id his father. “I ' m , iroU( j of „ field on JilCk ,!ra ey left Wil ,he - — the aviation «� � Jack lira.lley stood by his airplane 11-14, a strong monoplane.

T , llC stood looking with pride upon his great bird, when his chum, Glenn Jameson, sti oiled up and slapped him on the back. “Gave you seen her yet, Jack?” inquired the newcomer. “Seen who?” “Why Colonel Zane’s daughter, Gillian?” “Why I met her yesterday.” “Good for you. What is your opinion of her?” “Well, as far as I know, she’s a very nice girl.” “Here she comes now with her dad, said Glenn, turning around ZaTC and 1,15 dal, S hter approached and our two friends saluted 1 have good news for yon, sir,” said the colonel, addressing Tack “In throwing 5 GeW T ’’A “ ““ y ° haVe b “ P ick « °“t for bomb- 8 Get zeady ln the meantime.

He anxiously waited for the report. “Third line!” was shouted through the megaphone. T Le TT hC heard the reports of the contestants,— then Glenn started Jack watched the arrow fall and then came the report : 14 WINNING HIS STRIPES “Second line !” . . Then came Jack’s chance. As his machine swept up to the required altitude, he felt sure that Lillian’s eyes were fastened upon him. Me also felt sure that she was anxiously wishing him success. Hovering over the target, and taking as careful aim as lus moving machine would permit, he dropped the arrow. He heard the .lull (hud below and then he turned back. As he descended into the lutes, he was greeted by loud cheei ing from the spectators, for his report was : “Between bull’s eye and first line. He had made the record so far. As he watched the last airplane mount the air he saw Colonel Zane and his daughter approach. “You have done well, sir,” said the colonel, answering Jacks salute “More than likely you have won in to-day’s practice. Do so to-morrow and I have a surprise in store for you.” Then they walked away. Jack was wondering what the colonel had meant by ‘ surprise when he heard the startling report of the seventh and last airplane : “Bull’e eye ' Jack sank back in his seat with a look of shame upon his face. He had been defeated ! “Mr. Bradley?” Jack looked up and beheld Lillian standing beside his machine. “I’m so sorry, Mr. Bradley,” she said, sympathizingly, “I’m sure that last shot was just luck. ’But surely you’ll have better luck to-morrow.” He said he would, and he meant it. . Half an hour later Glenn strolled up and found Jack bending impatiently over his motor. “What’s the matter now old top? “Confound the luck!” exclaimed Jack, angrily. “That doggoned feed- pipe’s busted !” “How’d it happen?” “I don’t know. Flaw in the material, I guess. Glenn hurried away and brought back the mechanic from the shed. “Feed-pipe ' s busted somehow,” explained Jack. “Can you have it fixed in time for the contest to-morrow?” “I don’t know, sir,” returned the mechanic. “You see, I have so many other repairs — ” , . , . . “Here’s a five-spot,” interrupted Jack. “See that you have it done uptime. Jack did not realize that a rushed job is done by halves and that things done by halves are never done right.” The day for the big test dawned at last and the whole aviation field was in a bustle, being cleared for the afternoon performance The morning sped by swiftly enough and the afternoon found ack fidgeting about the machine shop, urging the mechanic to hurry the job. W ien it was finally finished, the machine was pushed out to the lines. 15 WINNING HIS STRIPES It will he remembered that on the previous day a twenty-foot target was used. A different target was to he used to-day. For nearly a week previous to the day of the test, workmen had been employed in building a conical tower about fifteen feet in diameter at the bottom and fifteen feet high. At the top was a hole two feet wide. In the center of the bottom, directly beneath the hole was placed a bomb, sufficiently large to blow up the tower. haeli aviator was armed with an iron ball about three inches in diameter. The object was to drop this ball through the hole at the top of the to stmek, the bomb below would explode, blowing up the tower. ower. When At three o’clock sharp, the first airplane shot up to the sky. In his machine, awaiting his turn, Jack distinctly heard the clink of the hall as it hit the side of the tower. 1 he first has missed ! lie watched five more planes mount to the sky and he heard five more clinks on the side of the tower. No one had suc- ceeded so far. Now was his chance. Beside him with his word of encouragement was Glenn Jameson. In the audience he caught sight of Lillian waving her American flag. He opened the throttle, the two great propellers began to revolve, and his machine glided up into the air. He could still see Lillian with her flag. He knew that she was earnestly wishing him success. Her wish would not be in vain. No, far from it. He would succeed. Far below he saw the gray stone tower. That black spot was the hole through which he must drop his ball. Twice he circled over the tower and, then he dropped the fatal ball. Far below he heard a muffled explosion. He heard the increasing shouts of the spectators. He had zoom ! But hardly ten seconds had passed when, quite close, he heard another explosion. Like lightning a message passed through his panic-stricken mind “The feed-pipe ! — and then all was blackness. Below in the grandstand, Lillian saw the explosion in the monoplane. She saw the disabled airplane fall rapidly to earth ; then she fainted into her father’s arms. Had she watched a moment longer her alarm would not have been so great. Colonel Zane watched with horror the rapid descent of the wrecked air- plane. But his horror turned to unspeakable joy when the disabled airplane and its rider fell crashing into the branches of a large oak. He saw the unconscious form of Jack drop from limb to limb until it dropped into the arms of two at- tendants, who had run to the rescue. Late in the afternoon, Jack opened his eyes. He found himself in a hospital bed. His right arm was hanging limply in a sling. It was shattered. At the foot of the bed stood Colonel Zane, and at the side, on her knees, was Lillian, who had long been watching him with anxious eyes. “Jack,” she said, softly, “Father has given me the honor of presentin°- y°u with these.” And she handed him the stripes of a lieutenant! “Thank you,” he whispered. 10 Dan W. Frye, Jr. AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW Being- a lover of nature, 1 am fond of taking long- walks and rides into the country to get in touch with her. It was on one of these rambles last summer that I came upon an open, grassy space in the woods, with a rocky cliff to one side. As it was about noon, I decided to stay in this pleasant location, and, when it was cooler, return home. I ate the lunch I had brought with me, and lay down in the shade of a large chestnut tree at the edge of the clearing. The sun was hot, the bright, blue sky was cloudless, and there was a pleasant fragrance in the air. Crickets were chirping faintly, and the bees skimmed over the ground in search of flowers. I felt drowsy, and was soon dozing . I was aroused by the patter of raindrops, but while I was deciding whether or not the chestnut was sufficient shelter, the sun came out, and I looked for the rainbow. Imagine my surprise upon seeing that one end of it was actually forming around the cliff of which I have spoken. Instantly my childhood dreams of the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow came to my memory, and looking at the cliff, I saw a cave which to my surprise, had escaped my notice before. I deter- mined to investigate. As I approached it, I suddenly wondered whether the gold was not at the other end of this rainbow, but remembered that that end was in the ocean. I entered the cave. It was lighted in all the colors of the rainbow, which were produced by seven lamps in a wide semi-circle, each of a different color. Under each sat a tall, stately figure, so draped in a garment the color of his par- ticular lamp, that his features could not be seen. At the feet of these seven personages was a pot of burnished gold, about the size of a small caldron, filled with gold coins. The figure in red, who sat at the left of the semi-circle, addressed me thus: “Mortal, although many have sought in vain for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, you are the first whose search has been successful. We, the seven guardian spirits of the rainbow, have kept watch in this cave for six thousand years, waiting for someone to relieve us. We will now leave you for tlnee hours. At the end of that time we will return, divide the gold with you, and rest from our long vigil. Are you honest ? “Honest!” I said, “I pride myself on my honesty.” “Very well, then ; keep watch over the gold in our absence. So saying, they disappeared. I sat down to watch for the three hours, and after awhile questions like these ran through my mind:— “Why did the spirits leave? Why had they kept watch for six thousand years? Would there be a rainbow when they ‘rested from their long vigil?’ Did they trust me? If they divided the gold with me, would they give me half or an eighth? Even an eighth would be a good sum of monev ! But a half would be a fortune ! 17 AT THE END OF THE RAINHOW I ht ' ii I began to think thus: If a half would he a fortune, how great would the whole of it be? And I wondered if I could carry it away. Could I lift that pot? It looked heavy! J tried it, and could hardly raise it from the ground. Hut if 1 had time I might drag it away. I looked at mv watch. Two o’clock. It was only an hour since the spirits had left. There were two hours, then, in which to carry the pot away. 1 lifted it and took three steps. Then I set it down ; I took a long breath then two more steps. On the last I stumbled, lost my balance, fell ; the pot turned over, and the coins rolled over the floor of the cave in all directions. “A,” 1 thought, “it will take some time to collect these and put them back into the pot. Yet there might he time.” I looked at my watch. Two o’clock. It had stopped ! What time was it then ? Perhaps the three hours were almost gone. I sank down in despair. Suddenly I turned around — there were the seven spirits sitting under their lamps. The red one rose and addressed me in a thundering voice : — “What, mortal? You thought you could steal it! And you pride yourself on your honesty ! We have found that we cannot trust you for three short hours. See what you have lost! We had intended to divide the gold equally, and then give you all our shares, as a reward for freeing us. But you have been tried and found wanting! Out with you!” The spirits disappeared a second time; the lamps went out, and the cave was left in darkness. There was a rumbling, then a wheezing sound, the floor of the cave trembled, and I was brushed out as if by a mighty wind. I found myself sitting- under the chestnut tree. The sun was low in the sky, and a light breeze had sprung up. I looked toward the cliff, but could not find the semblance of an opening. Cyrus Dunkel. 18 TWO JACKS lack Hammond was just home from college and he had with him a donkey which he had won in a freak bet while at college. And the question in the Hammond home was, “What shall be done with it? Dad simply roared when he heard about it, but I couldn ' t sell it and they wouldn ' t let me leave it there, so what was a fellow to do? argued Jack, as he talked with one of his friends. But as usual Dad, not Jack, thought out a scheme, for Dad was determined to o-et rid of it. There was Uncle Cy ;— he would just ship it down to the farm and let Uncle Cy have it. So he proceeded to write a letter and tel his _ brother of the donkey. He also said in the letter that he would telegraph when it would arrive at Hayville. Tack sat on the porch of his Chicago home and fussed and mused ; “What ' s the use of living in summer, anyway, especially when all one’s friends are out of town and one is being pestered by one’s people to get to work and do something. Gee whiz don ' t I need a rest after all that hard cramming to get thiough the finals?— I have it !— I ' ll just take a real rest for once I ' ll go down and see those country relations of mine and have some fun. Havino- come to this conclusion, he put the question before his father and, telling him to telegraph Uncle Cy that he was coming, Jack proceeded to pack his grip. The next afternoon, Uncle Cy was cultivating the potatoes when Aunt Mirandy waved a yellow envelope at him and cried, Oh Cyrus, here s a telegram. Cyrus opened it and read : “Am sending Jack down as I don ' t know what to do with him. Meet the 2 :05 prepared to take him home wl ° ammond „ “Waal, if that don ' t beat all! Now I’ll have to hitch up and get down in time to meet that train.” So saying, he sauntered towards the house and got rear y to go. .... Uncle Cy arrived at the station, (if it might be called a station) in his wagon with one horse harnessed to it— where there ought to have been two— just in time to see the 2 :03 pull into the station. He looked around to see them unload a iack but no jack was there. So after talking for awhile with the men who had come down to see the trains come in, he started for home. But the :05 flyer from Chicago, which was several minutes late, was just arriving, so Uncle Cy stayed to see if any one got off. ‘ ' ' ’ ’ g it in quickly started for the platform, but not before Uncle Cy had seen him As he stepped from the platform, Uncle Cy grabbed his hand and cried Waal, ifit .am t John ' s boy! My but you’ve grown! Waal if this am t an e = t ‘came in to °-et a jack which your Dad said was coming on the 2 03 and was just about oin away when I saw you on the 2 :05. Waal, if that don’t beat all ! I guess Mirandy’ll be mighty glad to see you, all right ; and say, I think I orge that donkeys are called jacks. By gosh, I just think I will. Tack looked with embarrassment towards the tram that was just pulling out i ust in time to hear a giggle and see three laughing girls slam the window. ■ 1 “ Well TtLk ftat I will be called John after this, he exclauned, as he climbed into ' the wagon which was pulled by one horse when it should have bee pulled by two.

THE ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN The most successful advertising- campaign known in South High, was conducted by the Class of ' 17. It has been a characteristic of each class of our school to excel in some line. Our fame will rest on our ability to secure adver- tisements. In order to secure enough money to publish the Class Book, it was decided to hold a campaign which would last one week. The entire senior class was divided into seven teams, the captains of which were the members of the advertising committee. It was the aim of the class to raise $400.00. This amount seemed like a great deal and many people thought it was foolish to suggest such a sum ; but at the end of the week $430.00 had been raised, and by the time the Class Book went to press this sum had been increased to $500.00. This success shows that “where there ' s a will there s a way.

As an examination of the benefit derived from the course, short sketches had to be presented, the first of which was given on May 11 in the Lecture Hall. It was Lady Gregory s play entitled “Spreading the News.” It was presented very well and afforded a pleasant entertainment for the school. Mrs. Tarpey. . Magistrate. . . .

This, however, is not alto- gether the case, for the debaters showed an increasing improvement throughout the period. In the first debate they lacked force, but later this defect was reme- died This shows that if the debaters had turned out for practice during their sophomore and junior years, we might, this year, have had a team that would have been on a par with those of other schools. Let South High learn her lesson and win the debating cup in the near lutuie. In the past season the decisions were all close. Four debates were lost by a 2 to 1 vote of the judges. One was lost by a vote of 3 to 0, and one was won bv ° to 1. The fact that a cup was offered made the competition much stiongei. In the first set of debates. South ' s Affirmative went to Fifth Avenue and the Negative stayed at home to debate with Wilkinsburg. The question was: Resolved: That the Federal Government should establish a system of compulsory arbitration on labor disputes — constitutionality conceded. Affirmative Negative Henry Frank Hlla Messer William Probst Francis Barnes Catherine Healy Frederick Agnew The second debates were with the two teams from Peabody. The Affirma- tive went to Peabody, while the Negative stayed at home. The question was : Resolved : “That interscholastic athletic contests should be abolished in secondary schools.” Both debates were very close. Affirmative Negative Mildred Evans Frederick Agnew Ella Messer Ruth Wigman Henry Frank Catherine Healy won. The last debates made the school rejoice, for the Fifth-South debate was The question was : Resolved- “That after the war the United States should join with the leading nations of the world to form a league of nations to enforce international peace.” The Negative team won. Affirmative Negative Henry Frank Catnerine Healy Frederick Agnew Francis Baines Ella Messer William Probst In recognition of the effort put forward by the debaters, letters were given to the following: Catherine Healy, Ella Messer, Frederick Agnew, Henry trank, Francis Barnes, William Probst, Mildred Evans, Ruth Wigman. - LEAGUE STANDING IV on Wilkinsburg Peabody 9 Fifth t South Lost 1 2 4 5 27 SOUTH PREPARES FOR FRENCH COMMISSION One of our students became enthusiastic over Dr. Davidson’s address I ' riday, May 4, and went to Mr. McLaughlin to see whether he could get up some demonstration on the part of South in honor of the French Commission. Mr. McLaughlin appointed him, Albert Gough, chairman, and Mr. D. E. Miller, faculty advisor. Gough, Marker, YVerling, Mr. Miller and Miss Disque met in the latter’s room to decide what they would do in the matter. They decided to buy material and make a French flag and a banner bearing the motto, “Vive La France.” Miss Goldie Neely promised to take care of the banner and through the kindness of Miss McIIale the flag was finished Monday morning. At lunch time, Monday, word came that the French Commission would not visit Pittsburgh, so the work was stopped. Monday evening, it was announced that the plans had been changed once more and the Commission would come, so Barker, Gough, Nearing, Mac- Gregor, Jack Evans and Goldie Neely came down to the school and finished the banner. On Tuesday morning, when word came again that no French Com- mission would visit Pittsburgh, you know how they felt. Albert Gough, - . THE SENIORS HAVE A HIKE On Saturday, May 12, a small group from the senior class hiked out to Brookside Farms for a sort of basket picnic. The weather, though a bit cool, was ideal for walking and, despite indications to the contrary, the roads were dry and wind not strong enough to make walking miserable because of the dust. Shortly after nine-thirty the crowd, numbering fifteen, started from the end of the Beech- view car line. At frequent intervals on the way, group pictures were taken as well as snapshots of the bunch in action. About twelve o’clock, we turned off the Wash- ington pike and after twenty minutes on the Brookside road, entered the grove, a spacious wood of different kinds of stately trees which tried in vain to shut out the warm sun, with their canopy of leaves and branches. While the plates were being arranged on the table, the boys built a fine big fire and then we sat down to the sandwiches and other delicacies the girls had packed. No relishes were needed to stimulate the appetites, as the long tramp made the best sauce. After the last crumb has disappeared and we had rested sufficiently, Marie Frederick’s team staged a ball game with Gizella’s all-stars, the latter winning by the score of 10 to 2. Margaret Greenlee broke up the game by hitting a home run with three on base. The ball soared high in the direction of Castle Shannon and disappeared near Mary Albert’s town. We think it was a put up scheme between these two as Peggy left early with Mary, presumably to see how far she had knocked the ball. Towards two o’clock we said farewell to Brookside and started homeward. Again on the main road we were overtaken by a large auto truck bound for Dor- mont. The chauffeur was hailed, gave his cordial consent, and we soon found ourselves speeding rapidly in the direction of Mt. Lebanon. Once more at the junction we alighted and changed “cars for Mt. Washington, Knoxville, South Side, and all other Pittsburgh points,” the last “hiker” reaching home before five o’clock. Needless to add, the day was a great success, the only regrettable feature being the fact that more of the seniors weren’t along to have the time of their lives. F. W. A., 12-2. 28 BOY SCOUTS “The great aim of the Boy Scouts of America is to make every boy scout a better citizen. It aims to touch him physically — in the campcraft and wood- craft of the outdoor life in order that he may have strength in after days to give the best he has to the city and community in which he lives. It teaches him chivalry and unselfishness, duty, charity, thrift, and loyalty; so that no matter what should happen in the business or social life, he may always be a true. gentle- man, seeking to give sympathy, help, and good cheer to those about him. South High’s Troop of the Boy Scout Movement was organized early in the year, and has a membership of forty. Meetings were held every Tuesday afternoon. The activities of the year were varied and numerous, and were keenly enjoyed by the boys. . , . During the latter part of the semester the student body, with due respect, observed the daily flag raising ceremony conducted by the scouts. Out of this activity alone, we feel sure that the students caught the spirit of our organization. ‘‘Every Scout to Feed a Soldier, is the slogan foi the summer. 29 FIFTH ANNUAL CONCERT One of the most successful of the South High concerts was hchl March 30 iu (. arnegie -Music 1 1 all. In the words of a prominent music educator of the city Fhe concert was extremely good. It showed fidelity of effort in the partici- pants. I he orchestra had a fine tone, correct intonation, and was exactly in time. I he chorus, also, had a fine tone quality and extremely good ensemble. The original compositions showed remarkable ability in creative work on the part of high school students. It was a high class concert in every respect.” The school and its friends certainly appreciate Miss Raker’s work. P R O GRAM Fatherland’s Psalm Grieg Chorus and Orchestra a.

Doctor Montgomery of Muskingum College, who came in December, discussed the importance of advertising. He said, “Hang out your si°-n if you want to do business. It’ll bring folks within talking distance every time.” Doctor Charles William Wallace gave a lecture on “Shakespeare at the Schenley High School. This was attended by Miss Tillotson s English class. On Washington’s Birthday the Honorable Wm. H. Graham talked on. Washington and how Pittsburgh became a city.” This was especially interesting because it concerned our city and the man whose birthday we were celebrating Several ot the Pittsburgh streets are named for men who were connected with the history of Pittsburgh at this time. Doctor George H. Bradford, ex-Chancellor of the University of Oklahoma, delivered a very impressive lecture. He left the class somewhat awe-stricken. He made us feel as though we had never done a thing to make the world go on. His subject was the “Key to Success, or Know Your- self ” Judge Buffington, who spoke to the seniors on Convocation Day asked each one to promise to “Give the best he had to the best he knew For the benefit of those who were going to see the play,; Mr. Maurer lectured on He y VIII Doctor Davidson spoke to the school at different times.. In a forcible a impressive talk given early in May, he urged every one to do his part in this ; great crisis of the world’s history. All who heard these lectures enjoyed them and will remember the valuable lessons throughout their lives. SOUTH HIGH FRIENDSHIP CLIJH During (lie past year the friendship Club has been very prosperous. In order to create a personal interest, each member was put on some committee. Each of the five committees has in the course of the year done something of importance. The Social Service Committee, with Mary Albert Riley as chair- man, provided shoes for a needy family at Christmas time. Each month the Social Committee, under the charge of Edna lligbce, served a supper at which there was a large attendance and much fun. Mary Grella and her Membership Committee succeeded in stirring up the old members, in securing a few new ones, and in interesting many other girls in the work. Lillian Davis was chairman of the Finance Committee. This committee worked under great difficulties and therefore did not succeeed in getting much money, but intends to give a play very soon. Ruth Wigman and her committee planned the year’s work and had the program printed in booklets, which were distributed among the girls of the school. Wednesday afternoon was chosen as the time for the meetings. On the first Wednesday of the month the council meeting was held. The third Wednes- day was chosen for committee meetings and the second and fourth were the general meetings. At the general meetings the subject, “Christian Citizenship for Girls,” under the leadership of Mrs. Hopkins, was studied. Mrs. Hopkins made the discussions exceedingly interesting and enjoyable. At one meeting, Mrs. S. Willis McFadden spoke on “Our Dress and Manners.” Because the president, Fannie Cipperly, and the club representative, Doro- thy Davy, were among the February graduates, it became necessary to hold a mid-year election. Edna Werner was chosen president and Freda Schuetz as representative. Following the resignation of the vice-president, Marie Frederick, Mary Grella was chosen for that office. Our club, together with the other High School Friendship Clubs, held several joint meetings. In November, we attended the banquet given at the Central Y. W. C. A., at which Doctor Davidson and several other prominent educators spoke, and, during the winter when Miss Seesholtz, the head of girls’ clubs in three states, was in Pittsburgh, we joined with the other clubs at a dinner in her honor. We also had an open meeting at which we entertained the Union High Club. At this meeting Helen Gross and Stella Espy gave interesting talks on their trip to Camp Nepahwin, the Y. W. C. A. conference camp. One of the purposes of the club is to prevent cliques and to encourage friendship between the teachers and pupils. This was very successfully accom- plished. Some members of the faculty were always at the club suppers. The guest list included Miss Marts, Miss Tillotson Miss McCutcheon, Miss Schaffner, Miss Campbell, and Miss Rose. We hope that at our club suppers next year, all the women members of the faculty will visit us. The last supper of the season was held on Wednesday, April 25, at the club house. Owing to the storm that came up suddenly, the supper was delayed until nearly seven o’clock. This made it necessary to have the business meeting during the meal. The reports of the committee chairmen were given and the secretary read her report and the commission reports. A discussion as to whether the “Honor System” should be adopted or not, followed. This would mean, among other things, giving and receiving no help on tests. All present promised to try the plan. The meeting was ended with the annual election of officers. The following officers were chosen to carry on the work for the ensuing year : President Mary Grella Vice President Alice Beck Secretary Edna S. Klein Treasurer Louise Riley Club Representative Betty Boots We wish success to the girls who leave us this June and hope that they will visit us occasionally next year. 32 JUNIOR CLASS NOTES The largest junior class in the history of South High is this class of 1917. Four very successful socials have been held since September, 19 1(1, a noticeable feature of which was the preponderance of girls. The officers of the Junior A class are: President. . Elmer Osswald rice President Paul Kerin Secretary Mary P. Grella Treasurer Kathryn Rohrkaste The officers of the Junior B class are: President Howard S. Evans Vice President Leo Durish Secretary Edna S. Klein Treasurer .

It is trying to make this the most successful of all the Junior “Proms” given since the founding of the school. The committees in charge of the affair are : Refreshments and arrangements — Mildred Challis, Nelle Parshall, Curtis Dawes. Invitations and dance cards — Marion Garland, Stella Reid, Waldorf Sacks.

After climbing ' one hundred and twenty steps from the tunnel and walking up Ruth Street, we reached the new South Hills High School. We could not help feeling at home, for Mr. Zeller met us and gave us directions for reaching the lockers. After disposing of wraps, Mr. Stark told us to travel the steps once more to reach the gymnasium. Down, down, down we went, until the basement was reached. The gym delighted us, for from the track of the balcony to the parallel bars, ropes, ' mats and ladders of the floor, we saw the promise of many happy hours. To think of living in a school with a real first-class gym in the basement . The first morning we were assembled in this large, well ventilated hall. to become acquainted with our teachers and new; surroundings. We found old friends from South — Miss Schmitz and Mis s Griffith, Mr. Allen. Mr. Sdver Mr Stark and Mr Zeller There were strange faces — Miss Jacobi, Miss Stahl, Mr. Melon, Mr! Doyle! Mr. Davies and Mr. Darner. After an interesting- program, Mr. Winner assigned us to report rooms. We. were then dismissed for the day, but instead of g-oing- home we made a tour of inspection. We started in the gym. After examining it carefully we found lockers and showers adjoining. Being accustomed to South, this seemed the height o luxury. Across the hall is the club room, which, though now used as a mere store room, will some day occupy a more dignified position. . On the street floor there are lockers which will be ready for use in Septem- ber Nearby are the kitchen and lunch room. The lunch room, which seats six hundred, is unusuallv attractive. If you wonder how the food is, just come around some day shortly before lunch and smell the most delicious odors a kitchen ever On the second floor are the classrooms. Each room is of medium, size and is well lighted by windows on one side. Each room contains two spacious cup- boards and two doors. One door is used as an entrance and the other as an exit, preventing confusion in passing from classes. . .. The domestic science department is the largest in the school and is wel equipped. The sewing and cooking rooms have all imaginable conveniences, i lie model apartment is not yet complete.. Large store rooms, the office, the medica inspector’s room, and the manual training department are features of this floor. The commercial department occupies the third floor. The typewriting, shorthand, and bookkeeping rooms are thoroughly equipped, but only two rooms of this floor are in use. Music and art are on the fourth floor. Every pupil is required to take chorus The conservatory is on the same floor. Tomato plants are growing there now but in the future it will be of great use to botany students The chemical laboratories are being furnished so that work can be started m them next term The new school is a decided benefit to South High, as it relieves crowded conditions. The South Hills High means much to the students. As the classes are small it is possible to give more individual attention to the pupils. A modern building has many advantages. We the students from South High and Riverside, intend to. make our colors, our yells, our athletics, and our school stand for something m the high To the students and faculty of South High we extend our sincere wishes for a happy, successful future. 1 A South Hills High Girl. 35 SENIOR CLASS PLAY The 1917 players are planning to present a comedy, “Her Husband’s Wife,” written by Mr. A. E. Thomas and published in the Drama League series of plays. The story tells of a young married woman who has decided she is about to die, although six doctors have told her she is not ill. To assure her husband’s happiness, when she is gone, she selects from among her friends, a second wife for him. The friend agrees to the arrangement for reasons all her own. Com- plications arise because of the unexpected attractiveness of the “wife-to-be.” After many difficulties the wife decides it’s safer to live and “Her Husband’s Wife” becomes his sister-in-law instead. The first “try-outs” have been held and these seniors are hard at work : William Clark, William Probst, John Doming, Norman Werling, Wilbur Cunningham, Hugh McMurray, Virginia Denison, Mildred Evans, Ruth Doming, Ruth Kessler, Marie Frederick and Helen Gould. From these twelve six students will be selected later to present “Her Husband’s Wife” to the South High friends on Friday, June 22, in the Schenley High Auditorium.

While we regret this, we cannot keep from thinking however, that, considering everything, our year has been far from a failure. In the first place, the system of athletics in Pittsburgh has been radically changed by the addition of gymnasium and swimming for all. Now there are instructors at each school in charpfe of nothing: but athletic work. The aim of the new system is to combine the beneficial efifect of teamwork with a training for each individual, that was lacking under the old system. Considering the miserable working conditions at South, we congratulate Miss McCutcheon and Mr. McLean for the spirit in which they went to work, under, without a doubt, the worst working conditions in the city. Their smiling faces have put much spirit into the athletics at South, and we sincerely wish for them the best of luck in their future activities, which we hope will be under better conditions. Our gym was so crowded at the beginning of the year that one student could not move without stepping on another student’s foot. But, since the South Hills High has been occupied, the congestion at South has been relieved somewhat. The advancement made in athletics in Pittsburgh High Schools has been a feature during 1917 . There have been entered two new sports — hockey and swimming, in which South has been well represented. There has been a tendency at South, on the part of the students, to allow a certain group do all the athletic work. This state of affairs must end this year, and every boy or girl that can do anything in athletics must report for practice. Of course all cannot make the team the first year, but each will be that much advanced for the next year. May the day speedily come when South can boast of a fully equipped gym. Then and not till then will the full benefit of athletic training be realized and appreciated. 38 FOOTBALL IN 1916 The football season for 1916 was poor if judged by the scoring done by our team. The best results of the year will be shown next season in the men who were developed this year. There were nine games played and no team we met was lighter or as light as our inexperienced eleven. To act as a nucleus, we had seven letter men from last season. A quit- ting streak hit our boys and the result was that in mid-season we had only four of these men left. In spite of these difficulties, Coach McLean started work in preparation for the Tarentum game with a large squad of new material. Because of the lateness in opening the schools, we had just two weeks of practice and so were not in good physical condition when time came for the first game at Taren- tum. In this game the newness of our men against the well trained and heavier men of Tarentum was plainly visible. 1 he South High fighting spiiit pievailed but to no avail, and we were defeated. The backfield was made up of Hughes, Callahan, Trautman and Smith, only one of these boys had had any experience playing ' in the backfield. Burke played at center and deserves much credit for the way in which he worked. He was rewarded by being elected Captain of next year’s team. The guards were blocked by Styers and ' Jones, both new men who learned rapidly and were soon playing the game like veterans. Werling and Captain Morgan played good games at the tackle positions, but in mid-season these men quit for reasons of their own, and their positions were filled by Douglas and Clark. The ends, which weie the weak spots, were guarded by new men, Gross and Cunningham, who were soon broken in and did better work than was hoped. At times this eleven showed really ao ' Q ' ressive form by rushing the ball down the field, or passing their way to victory —only to fumble within reach of the goal ! Again they would hold a very good team to a low score, and in the next game play so poorly that they would let an inferior team defeat them. At the end of the season we had not won a game, but had developed good material for next year. Let us remember this in football season next year . Candidates, come out — do your very best and STAY out, and above all have confidence in yourselves, fight for every inch of ground either way. LINEUP Gross Morgan Styers Burke Jones (L.E.) (L.T.)

We had but one letter man left from last year’s squad and not a floor on which to practice. Before a floor could he obtained the hoys worked hard in the Recreation Park, hut the weather changed and further practice out-of-doors was impossible. The first indoor practice was held on the Community Center floor, but it was much too small Then the Ormsby Gym was secured, hut it was just as small. Later the fellows went over to the Forbes School to practice, but it was too far away from our school. This certainly was a great handicap, but the team went to work in earnest and with minds set on developing a winning team in spite of conditions. Time for the opening game approached, but still we could not secure a flooi. lhe bio- schedule of sixteen games was started and the first eight games were played abroad Out of these our boys won three. Consider then, — a team without prac- tice. contesting in eight games away from home and victorious in three! After the’ sixth game abroad, the Department of Hygiene decided that we needed a floor, and started to prepare the Market House for basket-ball games. When time for our ninth game was at hand, the floor was completed. The first game at home was one of the best of the year, but Peabody seemed to have enough luck to beat us in the last few seconds of play. This was a bit discouraging, but Coach McLean set the boys to work with new zeal, and the team fast approached a standard for the year as was proved m the few remaining games on the schedule. The next game Allegheny visited us, and our loyal rooters filled the big Market House to watch Callahan’s men avenge their defeat at the hands of Custard’s men at Allegheny. But all in vain. With but a few seconds to play, Custard tallied a foul goal which broke a tie and won for Allegheny by the score of 33 .32 The remaining games at home were mostly m our favor and we reo-ret that the (boys had had no practice floor earlier m the seasoon. The team was developed funder very hard working conditions, and credit must be given Coach McLean for the work he has done. The forward positions were well taken care of by Gross and Swyers. Captain Callahan held down the stellar position in a fine manner Our goal was o-uarded in the persons of Lecollier and Harrison, two new men, but they promise some good work for next year. With Lehner, Noble, and Challis as extra men, this aggregation is ready for next year, and the season of ’18 should find this five the contenders for the championship.

However, some retrospection may always be profitable. The season was disappointing from the standpoint of games won; but when viewed as a whole the results were more encouraging than those of previous years, for the girls showed marked improvement in teamwork and held their opponents to smaller scores. The outstanding difficulty, however, still remains the same the lack of a gymnasium, or a place sufficiently large for basket-ball near enough to the school to insure the attendance of the girls. This will be remedied as soon as South High has the addition that is already planned for; until that time our success wilfhave to depend upon the enthusiasm and loyalty of the girls who are willing to struggle against these difficulties. Our coach has o-iven us excellent training and the year to the girls on the team has been a most enjoyable one. After all, when one hears of the school spirit and the sportsman- like manner with which the team accepted defeat, they have been successful m the bigger issue. Perhaps the most interesting game was the one which was played with the Alumnae. The score was frequently a tie and when time was up the score was 10 10 The Alumnae were successful in scoring the next basket, which won the game for them with the final score of 12—10. Our Alumnae always did do us credit ! One of the most ardent and dependable “fans,” Lillian Solof, gave a ver ) delightful party at her home for the team at the close of the season. The girls took this occasion of showing their appreciation of Miss McCutcheon s patience and hard work by presenting her with a silver purse. The social gatherings of the girls who have been associated together throughout the winter are always part of the attractive features of athletics. We are optimistic for the team of 1918. This is the first year that gym- nasium work has been extended to all girls, and many have become interested m the o-ame In addition to this, not a member of the team will be lost by gradua- tion And so we are looking forward to the coming year with confident hope for greater success.

This sport, nevertheless, proved to he an activity that attracted attention, and the number of specators at each game was very large ' and easily filled the big Duquesne Garden. Because of the newness of the game, there was arranged a series of practice games which were played before the regular league games started. 1 his was to give the teams some chance to learn the principles of the game. In addition, the teams weie allowed to piac- tice on Saturday mornings, provided no game was scheduled for them on that Saturday afternoon. At the call for candidates at South, many fellows reported for the tryouts and after the first Saturday’s work there were some very sore boys at school. Captain Doming played the center position and he filled it well, outplaying his opponent most of the time. Clifton, at rover, showed lots of fight and well deserved his position. McQuaide played a very good game_ at goal and many times stopped the puck from entering the net. Seifeith, Zieglei, and Elliott played °-ood games at point and cover and more than once they broke up the teamwork of their opponents. Smith, Barker, and Wakefield played creditable games at the wings and often tore up the ice with the puck, only to lose it by an off-side play. . , . . , The team did strong defensive work, but it did not seem to be able to work together so well on the offensive, and therefore no games were won, although many games were tied and all were closely contested. Theie has been some fine material developed for a hockey team next year, as Doming and Barker am the only two men lost by graduation, and there are plenty of men who can be trained to fill their positions. We hope that these men will play as well as Barker and Doming did, and succeed in bringing South out at the top. BASEBALL FOR 1917 The opening of baseball season found South with only three letter men from last year’s squad, but after the call for candidates a very large squad re- sponded. From the letter men, Gould was made Captain and fills the position with his usual ability. Coach McLean took his squad of twenty-five men to the Ninth Street grounds and there they had their first workout. In this practice some good material was uncovered in Boff, Callahan, Gioss, Waid, Durish, Gough, and Ryman as fielders, and Hunt, Noble, and Jones as a pitching staff. There is a fine schedule of games to be played, from which the boys expect to come with credit. One ' game on this schedule has already been cancelled by Schenley, they having discontinued baseball because they have no grounds on which to play. To our team we wish the best possible luck. May they win most of their games! This they should do, judging from the way they practice. A complete schedule follows : May 11 South at Peabody. “ 15 Fifth at South. “ is Westinghouse at South. “ 22 South at Allegheny. “ 29 Peabody at South. y une i South at Fifth. “ 5 South at Westinghouse. “ 8 Allegheny at South. 45 TRACK FOR 1917 Ti-ai-k is not such a popular sport at South as it might be, although the ■I n, « ls y ni 4 ' ui(l the team lias much chance for development. There is not one letter man left at South from last year’s squad, as both Irish and Oorsuch have left school. At the call for candidates about fifteen men reported, but several have diopped out since practice started. ' 1 here are about ten men out every night and the boys do some starting, running, jumping, and throwing weights. There seems to be some good material in Marker, Lecollier, Smith, Mally, and Nearing, while Werling is trying hard to use the weights to greater advantage. There are several meets to be entered in which these men expect to annex some points. MEETS Press Meet Pitt Meet P. H. S. Meet W. P. I. A. L. INTER-SCHOLASTIC SWIMMING MEET South High had the honor of entertaining the first high school inter- scholastic swimming meet for girls in the city at the Oliver Pool on April 13. All the high schools in the city were invited to attend and seven entered into the vaiious events. South High was twice successful in winning ribbons, once when Miss Davis tied with Miss Price of Schenley for first place in diving; again, when Miss Weber took third place in the 40-yard side stroke. The events were closely contested and much excellent form in both swim- ming and diving was exhibited from all the schools. This was especially sur- prising, since aquatic sports were introduced only this year. 80-Foot Breast Stroke: First, Miss Wilson, Allegheny; second, Miss Price. Schen- ley; third, Miss Peterson, Peabody. 160-Foot Relay: First, Schenley (Misses Kerr, Levy, Todd, and Gillespie); second, Latimer Junior High (Misses Davis, Maxwell, Isengard, and Zoller) ; third, Business High (Misses Levy, Schultz, Kutsnak, and Glad- stone) . 40-Yard Side Stroke: First, Miss Wilson, Allegheny; second, Miss Matthews, Schenley; third, Miss Weber, South. 20-Yard Back Stroke: First, Miss Zoller, Latimer; second, Miss Wilson, Alle- gheny; third, Miss Peterson, Peabody. 20-Yard Free Style: First, Miss Gillespie, Schenley; second, Miss Zoller, Latimer; third, Miss Todd, Schenley. Diving: First, Miss Davis of South, and Miss Price of Schenley, tied; third, Miss McTighe, Peabody. The total points scored by the schools are as follows : 1st. Schenley High 16 Jd 2nd. Latimer Junior 9 3rd. Allegheny High 8 4th. South High 314 5th. Peabody High 3 6th. Business High 2 7th. Westinghouse 0 Officials: Starter and Judge of Diving — Harry P. Blair. Judges — W. W. Shook, Wm. A. Wood. Scorer — W. G. Moench. Referee and Clerk of Course — C. L. Walsh. 48 I wish I were a great big worm, Then I could squirm and squirm and squirm. No teacher then could say, “Sit Still!” Or “Tell about the Espionage Bill !” Or if I were a great big fish, . I wouldn’t have to take English, But all day long I’d swim and swim And never even think of “Gym. Or if I were a porcupine, You’d never see me in room 9, But I could roam around all day And be so happy and so gay. Or if I were a big brown horse, I wouldn’t have to take a course In Mathematics, Art, or Physics, Nor even have to study Civics. But I’m not even one of these, I’m just a girl whom all do tease, Who shouldn’t ever want to speak ' Cept once or twice within a week. So now I’ll try to be content, And if I’m bad I’ll just repent, And never more I’ll make my wish To be a worm, a horse, or fish.

I leakers that bounce, for, sad to say, When they hit the floor they usually stay, kilters that do not split in twain, And put your temper to a sudden strain. Ground glass stoppers that will not freeze; But are ready to turn with perfect ease; For these as yet we are hunting in vain, Waiting for someone to use his brain. By X. Plosion, 11-3. EXPERIMENTAL CHEMISTRY Bill, in search of something new, Poured a pint of hydroflu Tn his father’s Oxford shoe; Just to see what it would do. As research work it was not bad, But it was rather hard on dad. Johnny, in his careless glee, Mixed up I with N H-3, When the stuff was dry and thick, Johnny hit it with a brick. Johnny is now in Heaven, they say, At least he surely went that way. Little Jane was happy when She found a lump of K C N, “Pa likes lots of sweets,” said she, So she put it in his tea. Strange how “died” and “suicide” Rhyme so well with cyanide. James put AgNO-3 in his Ma’s perfumery, Saying, “She’ll be pleased, I hope, With this fine expensive dope.” But when she used it, strange to say, She did’nt feel a bit that way. By Sue. I.

My dear Friends at South: I should like to tell you just a little about the University of Wisconsin, and the student life of that institution. Wisconsin, one of the most noted schools of the middlewest, if not the best known, is located in Madison, one of America s prettiest cities. This city is bounded by four large lakes and these afford much pleasure to the student, in the spring, however, they are often a source of much discomfort to the freshmen, because of such things as “lake parties. ’ If a ‘ fresh does not behave properly or if he violates one of the traditions of the school, then it is certain that he will be thrown into the lake some evening, and this is known as a “lake party.” I have been very fortunate so far in that I have escaped a plunge into Lake Mendota, but I suppose I will get mine, sooner or later, as it is very rare for a freshman to escape it. As I have said, the lakes do give pleasure. . in the winter, there is ice-boating and hockey ; in the summer, canoeing and swim- ming are the pleasures derived from the lakes. Around the lakes are many very beautiful walks and drives, and one seldom sees a more beautiful sight than sunset on Lake Mendota. Across the lake, there is a large picnic ground, and picnics, held by students, are very frequent here. There is also a large dance hall on the picnic grounds and dances, under the supervision of the University, are held every Friday and Saturday evenings, when the weather permits. The students really have good times when going to school. It may be inferred from what I have said that attending Wisconsin is just one round of pleasure. This is not at all true, for we work very. hard, m addition to our good times. The standards of the University are high and the training one receives is thorough. The Commerce School, m which I am enrolled is one of the very best known in the country. The Agricultural School is second to none. The College of Letters and Science has a nation-wide reputation, while the Eno-ineering School is recognized as one of the best of the west. There is one feature of Wisconsin that one must admire and this is its completeness m equip- ment of all departments. Wisconsin being a state school, has military training, and this is a very interesting part of the school life. Each male student (incidentally, I may say there are about twelve hundred co-eds) is obliged to take two years of military work. The benefits derived from military training are too well known to be men- tioned, but one thing is certain — that it tends to keep, a student m fine physica condition, and this is the first essential to good work in the class-room. The war spirit has already entered our Alma Mater and about two hundred and fifty students, who have had previous military work at Wisconsin, have de- parted for Eort Sheridan, to train for commissions in the United States Army. Their departure was very affecting, being accompanied to the train by the entire cadet corp and the ’varsity bands. There was a solemnity about their departure, for all realized that many of these fellows would perhaps never come back to Madison. While I have not told all that I could, I believe I have mentioned those things which were of especial interest to me. In concluding, let me say that Wisconsin is a great school and one that does things.

ZIMMER “Reden ist Silber” The story is told; But he is worth millions If “Schweigen ist Gold.” lass roe “What is so rare as a day in June” — That last day spent in old South High? It’s rare to us; — unknown to you. Dear friends to whom we say “Goodbye.” Four years ago, the time seemed long — We scarcely thought ’twould ever come; But now we know that we were wrong, Since this last day is almost done. Three-seore and fifteen, with but one thought, — That we must leave South High today. And all the joys the years have brought Seem lost or fallen in decay. And though the Future shines before us, Its lighted path we cannot see, For our thoughts have turned back to the Past To the bright days that used to be. Those days when we were timid Freshies And roamed the halls with puzzled stare, And looked with wonder at the Seniors As they came down the third floor stairs. And then as bolder Sophomores We felt at last we owned the earth, And walked in and out the great old doors As though the hall were our own hearth. But ah, that first day we were Juniors, — How high our heads went in the air. And the old school could hardly hold us For our world seemed all a sunny glare. Then that happy ' morn when we were Seniors With petty ' Junior pride all gone — And a greater glory surrounding us Telling that we could never be wrong. But now ' the hour has struck to leave, And we must say our last goodbye; But let us add to you. Old South, That we vow allegiance ’til we die. And in the years that are approaching. When South much better days has seen. We’ll not forget the time we spent With the orange and black, — in ’17.

Wc were a group of Freshmen deserving of the pity of almost anyone. As we stood in the halls wide-eyed and frightened, we wondered where we were to go, and how we were to get there. Finally, we were separated and sent to our various report rooms. The portables were not connected to the building that year. One day, when the class of 9-6 were to go to study in one of the portables, it began to rain in torrents. Of course it was impossible to go out in the rain. The Freshmen then made use of our time by making all the noise we could in the halls, while others were trying to recite. The portables surely were the source of much trouble to us that first year. They were, we thought, a good excuse for tardiness, and coming late to classes got to be a daily occurrence. As there was no Detention Room then, we thought there was no means of punishment. We were doomed to disappointment, how- ever, when we received an invitation from our teacher to remain with him for half an hour after three o ' clock. About April, we were beginning to think that high school life was very monotonous. A visit to McKinley Park on Arbor Day broke this monotony. That day most of the Freshmen had biology the last hour. We were therefore dis- missed an hour earlier than the rest of the school. Instead of going to get flowers for biology, we — the teacher, also — went to the swings. So taken up with our childish pleasure did we become that we missed most of the Arbor Day Exercises and were hardly on time to plant our tree. Our vacation that year passed all too quickly. Before we realized it we were back in School as Sophomores. Of course we thought that now we had a perfect right to make life miserable for the Freshmen. Before that year was over, however, we learned that Sophomores couldn t run the school any moie than Freshmen could. Do we remember the welcome party the Seniors gave us that year? Oh, my yes. At this party we learned that dignified Seniors could be as foolish as Sophomores ; for there we saw our Senior friends carrying toy drums, pans, and sticks in imitation of a band. After the band concert, each Sophomore girl had the pleasure of meeting the Senior girls. It was this year that the system of marking was changed. Some of us found, to our sorrow, that it was not so easy to fool mother and father as to the failure mark. Oh joy! September again. Now we were Juniors. Flow patiently and eagerly we had waited for this year. We could now have socials, dances, and entertainments of our own. Very early we held a meeting to organize our class. The first meeting was orderly but rather slow — maybe because we weren’t accus- tomed to class meetings. But those meetings after the first one, surely were lively. The Senate could not have excelled us in our desire to debate and quarrel. We knew so little about “Robert’s Rules of Order” that our guardian put us out of one meeting, telling us not to come back until we had consulted it. 73 CLASS HISTORY I lie pleasure of the socials, dances, and house parlies will never be for- gotten. Remember, Seniors, how you felt when you saw the last car pulling out, leaving you with walking as the only means of getting home that night! In the history of South High, the Champion Basket-ball Team was the most important feature of 111 Hi. I he greatest help we Juniors could give was to strain our voices and everyone’s ears by yelling and rooting for the South hoys. A little later, however, our class had a chance to be proud of its own athletic prowess. I lad you come into our report room on a certain morning and found Marie excitedly entertaining all of us, you might have learned that our Junior Girls Team had just won the class basket-ball series. The extra seventh period was a feature of the second semester. Goethe and Victor I lugo would turn in their graves if they had heard us trying to speak German and French in our clubs. Will you ever forget the day we were left in our report room, without a teacher, and thereupon proceeded to attract the attention of every one on the first floor? The Juniors in ro6nr four ended the year by making the best record of marks ever made. Again the hands of time pointed to the opening of a new school year. We very soon learned that although we were Seniors the world did not revolve around our little orbit. We were very business-like this last year. We organized our class early, and tried hard not to quarrel. Of course, we wanted to renew those pleasant socials of last year as soon as possible. As all girls do, our girls began to get their heads together and talk about what they should wear at Commencement. How angry the girls were when they heard the boys whisper that they were going to spoil the girls’ appearance by wearing Palm Beach suits. May 18 — “Boys Wanted!” The ratio of girls to boys in our class is almost two to one. In order to make our last social a pleasure for all, the girls were allowed to apply to outsiders for escorts. In doing this we broke the long established custom of restricting socials to students in the school. Talk about breaking customs, rules, and records ! In selling “ad” space for our Class Book we beat all records, raising five hundred dollars. We are now a very busy class of Seniors. Rehearsals for the class play are being held almost every day. Plans for Convocation and Commencement are being discussed by teachers and pupils. A few more weeks and we shall no longer be counted as students of South High. ’Tis true, we have had many pleasures that we shall always remember, but the instruction, the inspirations, and ideals we received at South will be the treasures of our entire future life. Ella Messer, 12-2. 74 CLASS PROPHECY One bright afternoon in May I was leisurely wandering through the wilder- ness with a copy of “Macbeth under my arm, when I came to a large roc . . ere I sat down, and opening my “Macbeth,” read the first scene in which the witches dance about the caldron and weave their magic spells. I was just meditating how vague and weird this scene was when, at a short distance, I heard the words, “Double, double, toil and trouble.” Immediately I rose and started toward the place from which the sound seemed to come. On reaching the spot I found three witches sitting around a large caldron. They did not speak, but one of them had a magic wand, which she waved over my head. Then to my surprise I was m a large? cavernous cave. There, half-frightened, I stood amazed, thinking that I was undoubtedly in the realm of Pluto. Then one of the witches moved toward me and presented me with a mysterious document with an equally mysterious sea . She then waved the wand over my head and I was again in the blissful air o forest Holding the paper in my hand I quickly broke the seal and found that the document revealed the future of the class of June of nineteen hundred and seventeen. The document was as follows: ,, r “The class will not be powerful enough to set the world afire, but fi n their midst one will rise to the most conspicuous and also most responsible posi- tion in the United States.

' Thus ended the scroll and I. exhausted by my attempts to realize the whole sio-nificance of these weird and weighty prophecies, vanished into thm air--a o-host destined never to speak to human kind again except as now through the medium of the ouija board. The shade of Shakespeare rescued his beloved Mac- beth from the possibility of further desecration. It was also too much for the scroll for it blew up with a loud report clue to the hot air which was in it. Mildred M.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1 91 S • )iH ' beauli fill day in I ' ebruary, l!)l I, a group of grade school graduates (.line to South to register and begin their high school career. After we had regis- tered, we departed to return again in a few days to begin school in earnest. We tell very important as we came up the steps that first day, for everyone stared at us. We learned later that they were watching to see how “green” the J ' reshies” were. We were assigned to rooms in queer sheds outside the building, which we learned were “portables. We sat down to rest and were dismayed to find that we had to go to a different room every fifty minutes. It took several days to become accustomed to changing and finding rooms, and to being laughed at. Then we found our schedules were different every day and as a result we were always getting into the wrong classes. We learned all these things in time, for “experi- ence is a good teacher. 1 he days and weeks passed by quickly and we began to hear rumors that a school “Journal” was printed and that the school had “teams. By summer time we had learned about these things. Not long after this, we departed for our vacations in which we earnestly endeavored to forget all we possibly could. In September we came back, only recollecting what a schedule, a portable, a Senior and Mr. McLaughlin were. Our teachers soon made us understand, however, that we were supposed to remember other things also. We worked so bravely that at the end of January most of us became Sophomores, though we lacked one or two of our former classmates. As soon as we were Sophs we thought we too must slam the Presides, and some of us also thought we had graduated from all studying. Some were sadly disappointed when their reports showed E’s. We discovered that high school was neither all work and no play, nor vice versa. We were highly honored by being invited once in a while to- the Junior or Senior dances and we began to feel that life was brightening. During the following vacation we discreetly remembered a good deal of what we had learned. When we returned, our ranks were sadly diminished, but the remaining ones were as energetic as ever. We subscribed to the Journal, went faithfully to the games, and helped the upper classmen when we had a chance. It was during this year that the first “Oriole” was published. Be- fore, we had published our stories in a Journal supported by Fifth Avenue High, Central High, and South High. Now we had a school paper of our own started, and prospects for its long life were promising. We were advancing in styles, also. The girls began to turn up their hair and the boys began to wear long trousers and to be more particular about their personal appearance. First of February again and we were honorable Juniors. Oh, what a rise from green Freshies ! We could now go to all the dances, and, in many cases, boss the lower classmen around. We were pretty good to them, though, except for a little teasing. We went through a strenuous election and came out none the worse with a president, secretary, and a treasurer. The boys learned from the former Juniors how to say sweetly, “May I have the pleasure of escorting you to the social?” From the remarks made the following mornings the students cer- tainly enjoyed these socials for which their officers worked so hard. We departed in June for a two months’ vacation, but to our delight it was lengthened into three months on account of the infantile paralysis epidemic. As most of us were past sixteen, we thoroughly enjoyed that extra month, but we had to work doubly hard in the next four months to catch up. In this year our basket-ball team won the championship of Western Pennsylvania and we were awarded a beautiful trophy which was placed on view first, at K and K Hall, and later, in the office. Four short months and we were Seniors. Our class was very much smaller than it had been. In the beginning we formed three report classes. Now we made one of the smallest Senior classes that had enrolled for some time. We felt wonderfully dignified. It was really pleasant to have the lower class- men say, “There is a Senior.” But to our surprise we found out we were 94 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1918 not nearly so stiff and dignified in the role of Seniors as we had tried to be as Freshmen. W e had jolly good times at noon. Things began to become quite exciting when we became so attractive as to draw mice to our room. Soon we began to talk about the Class Book in which we were to take part for the first time. Viter an elect ion, some of us were on committees and some of us were not ; but all of us were willing to work. Then came the ticket and advertisement competi- tions and we began to realize our school life was drawing to a close. We are very proud to be able to say that our class has given one boy as a soldier to fight in our country’s service. Though we regret his absence from out- class, we are very proud of him because he has answered his country s call. Now as we stand at the entrance of our last five months at school, I think none of us can regret the time we have spent here, time mixed with joy and sorrow but always bringing us happy memories. I am sure we will stait on out last semester ' with a determination to make it the best and happiest period of our school life. Harriet V. McCancc, 12-3. CLASS HISTORY (Commercials) Of course all of the classes, except the Commercials, were fortunate enough to commence their Freshman year at the Main Building of the South High School. _ If you have never heard of the Knox School you will hear of it now. I liat magnificent building on Brownsville Avenue was the place wheie we commercials began our high school career. We occupied the third floor of the building and the fire escape. Ve were not allowed to use the entrance of the building, but had to g o up the fire escape and through the window. At noon the combatants of both rooms got together and had their daily apple-core fight. They were of very poor aim and the non-combatants were the ones who suffered most. Sometimes we would play chasers on the hillside and sometimes we would walk the ties on the railroad. Coming in on time after lunch was out of the questi on. Sometimes we were twenty minutes late and sometimes more. When we did reach our room there was always a lecture waiting us. Our teacher always emphasized the fact that if we came in late again we would have to stay in after school. After severa of these speeches, but no “staying in,” we began to come in on time He thoug t he could scare us by saying that if we did not have our algebra problems worked out he would throw us out of the window; but he never practiced what he preached. During the day we were greeted with. the pleasant noise of passing trains and had the pleasure, which we somewhat enjoyed, of smelling that delig t- ful odor, called smoke. When there was “something doing” at the main building we had to “hike” up and see what it was and “hike” back again. We enjoyed this because it wasted about an hour of our time. Well, times changed and im- provements were made. We were shifted to the other “palace, called Bedford. Our fun at noon no longer continued. To be serious, we had to work, i re expression, “Detention Room,” and what it meant was the question tnat no one could answer until several were sent there to find out. We were again trans ferred to the well known “hot houses,” and we had the pleasure of going to the main building for a drink when we were thirsty or when we wanted to get cooled off. The saying, “The Worst is Yet to Come,” did not apply to us when we at last were moved to the main building. , , As Seniors, we look back over our high school course, mainly to our Fresh- man year when we “knew it all.” We also look to the place where the Freshmen are now going and wish that we had the same opportunity as they. We will never forget the happy days we spent together at the Knox and Bedford schools as long as we live. Thomas Kustes , 1 -3. 95 PROPHECY OF CLASS OF ’18 One lovely spring day in the year 1924, I was sitting on our porch thinking of high school days and of the many events that had transpired since my gradu- ation. It was just six years since I had left dear old South High and had said good-bye to the “Smoky City” and all my old classmates and friends. My family had moved to Akron, Ohio, where we were still residing that spring day in 1924. During the intervening time we had three years of war, but America had finally come out victorious and the Stars and Stripes continued to wave triumph- antly above the gold dome of the capitol ! Three years of peace followed this upheaval and in all that time I had had no news of my classmates, except an occasional letter from one of my closest chums. During the war I had seen in the paper that John Spielman had led an attack ag ' ainst a powerful army of German soldiers, had won a great victory, and upon his return received the title of Captain. This made me feel very proud of the fact that I had once known him. I had, also, a letter from Catherine Hahn, saying that she and Mary Leitch were in an army hospital, where they had found one of our former classmates, Lee Stahlman, and had nursed him back to health. He had then gone home on a furlough, with his handsome form covered with medals, but with one sleeve of his army jacket hanging empty at his side. As I sat there thinking of all these things, a sense of loneliness crept over me, but it did not last long, for the postman soon came, bringing an envelope on which I recognized the small, neat hand-writing of Esther Patch. Can you imagine my surprise when I tore it open and read that she was going to marry a real live cowboy 1 and wanted me to come to Pittsburgh to be maid of honor at her wedding! Of course I couldn’t refuse such an ofifer, and in a few days I was on my way. 96 PROPHECY OF CLASS OF 18 As I sat viewing the living landscape from the car window, my mind was so busy with pleasant thoughts that 1 did not see the conductor enter the car, and so the first that 1 was aware of his presence was when he said, close at my side, “Tickets, please. Something in the deep, melodious tones of his voice caused me to look up quickly and recognize Allan Johnston. When our greetings were over, he said, I just met an old friend the other day. “Who was it? I asked eagerly. He wanted me to guess, but I told him that I wasn’t a good guesser and begged him to tell me. “Do you remember Elma Trautman, that light haired girl in our class?” he asked. Yes, I returned. “Where did you see her?” “She was on the train, on her way to visit some friends in Cleveland,” he answered. “She said that she is a stenographer in her uncle ' s office.” Did she say anything about the girls she used to go with, and that Sara Donehoe has married a wealthy southerner and is living on a plantation in South Carolina? I asked him. “Yes, he answered. “She said that Esther Koch had married an ordinary business man with a business man’s wages and they are living on love. Then he told me that Frank Slape had gone to California, where he had decided to remain and live on sunshine and oranges for the rest of his life. I was rather sorry when the train drew into Pennsylvania Station and our talk had to end. Esther was there to meet me and before I had fairly alighted from the train, I heard the old, familiar, “Hello, Floss.” With her was a former classmate, but I did not recognize her until Esther said, “I want you to greet an old friend, Iva Taylor. She and Elsa Riebling and Hilda Schwarm are to be my bridesmaids, so it will seem like old times.” Then I heard that Hilda had just returned from two years abroad, where she had won fame as a musician ; and that Elsa was a sales-manager in the large department store of the city, owned by Ernest Hillier, now one of Pittsburgh’s most prominent millionaires. As for Iva, she was staying at home and living on the good will of Dad. I related to them my experience on the train and also told them that Bill Hefeffinger was teaching chemistry in Carnegie Tech and that Harriet McCance, who had been studying to be a teacher, had suddenly changed her mind and married Herr Von Schlitz, who had taken her across the ocean to live. They were surprised to hear this and said that they must tell Edna Fischer, who was an heiress, and was going abroad the next year. All this was said on the way home from the station, so that it seemed only a few minutes until the conductor called out, “South Side University.” I looked eagerly out of the window, but the old high school building, with its row of por- tables, was not there. In its place stood a magnificent building over which, they told me, George Ference held full sway, as he was the head janitor. In a few minutes we arrived at Esther’s home, where all was bustle and confusion. Two days later the wedding ceremony was performed and with tears, rice, and old shoes, we saw the bride and groom off on their journey to their western home, where, as the story goes, they lived happily ever after. So let us hope ! I remained in Pittsburgh for several weeks visiting all my relatives and friends, thus killing two birds with one stone. During that time I either saw or heard of many of my classmates. The first person I met and had a long talk with was Vera Bell. Iva had told me that she was now “mayor” of Pittsburgh, and 97 PROPHECY OF CLASS OF ’18 that she was the first lady to he given that honor. So one day I went to call on her in her elegantly furnished office. She seemed very glad to see me, and we settled ourselves comfortably for a cozy chat. The first thing she told me was that Grace Bailey lived in Arizona and Norbert Albaugh was traveling with a circus as a clown. She also said that Ella 1 law was a grand opera singer, who daily charmed thousands with her wonderful voice, and that Edna Werner, contrary to general expectation, had not married hut had taken up dressmaking and was living by means of her needle. Also, that Alma Bellow was acquiring great fame as a newspaper reporter, and Minnie Eiebove was a popular movie star. The next person I talked with was Wallace Nearing. One day I had gone into the city to attend a fashion play at one of the large department stores, when just before entering the building some one rushed up and took me by the arm. In answer to my inquiring gaze, he told me who he was and said that he was a farmer in Dormont ! He then asked me what I was doing, to which I replied, “I am earning a comfortable living by teaching both vocal and instrumental music.” Then he told me that Abe Karp was president of a large bank, and that Tom Kustes was an agent for Ford cars. Also, that Stella Mentzer and Lillian Cloud were happy in their professions, Stella a kindergarten teacher, and Lillian a designer of note. While we were still talking, a very elegant limousine drove up to the curb and from it alighted a very elegant young man under whose high silk hat, a monocle and slight moustache, we recognized our old friend, Bill Carlton. We greeted him cord ially and asked him if he had any news. He proceeded to tell us that Helen Cronin was an artist in Boston and that Anna Hartzell was the owner of an exclusive millinery shop, the only one in the city where Parisian models could be obtained. When he had told all this and enjoyed our surprise, we noticed a gaily dressed young lady, under whose picture hat we recognized the smiling face of Isabella Bayer. She knew us and stopped to chat for a while. Then I bade them good-bye and hurried into the store, for I was late for the show. The place was crowded, but among the spectators was Jane Church, rival- ing the models in appearance. When it was over, I stopped on the main floor of the building to look around. While on this observation tour, my attention was attracted by a tall blonde who was fitting a pair of gloves on a good looking young chap and making eyes at him. When she saw me, she dropped his hand with a blush, and turned to greet me. You have probably guessed that the young lady in question was Carrie Moury. We talked for a short time, during which she told me that Terence Murphy had gone into the undertaking business, and then, seeing the good looking chap showing signs of impatience, I took my leave. Carrie’s was my last meeting with any of my school mates, for I soon left Pittsburgh and returned to my home, where I took up my work again. I was very much cheered by my visit and very grateful to Esther for getting married and thus making that visit possible. Florence Sedora Parker, 12-3. 98 SONG (Air — Old Oaken Bucket) IIow dear to our hearts is the dear old South 1 ligh School, As memories so fondly present it to view, It’s staircases three and its clustered up lockers, And e’en the Fhys. Lab. with its windows so few. Experiment table with force pump upon it, And the skylight so smudgy on which the sun’s rays fell, The chair of our teacher with teacher close by it, And e’en the waste basket, which served him so well. First Chorus: The old gray waste basket. The crocky waste basket. The heaped up waste basket That served him so well. As nearing the end, a dark Cloud hovers o ' er us, The toll of a Bell, doth our parting foretell, Though teacher has Kustes, we’ll always stand Bayer, And e’en when at Church on our knees we won’t tell. Though tears wet our Fellow and thoughts Schwann within us, Our Hartzell beat true, we’ll each give a hand, For Werner to the end and no Taylor’s loud Cronen, Will mar the sweet sadness which partings must lend. Second Chorus: The first class of ’18, The best class of ’18, Reporting in ’13 To you, all must bow. Our Teutonic section none better, more loyal. No Riebeling or treason has been found in its midst: Good humor and skill, and real earnest devotion, Koch, Spielman, and Heffy are in all that thou didst. Our Fisher finds Karp inter-Ferrence from Trautman. With easy dis-Patch is prevented by all, From thiS-tahlman indeed, in exact Menser-action, Might fall a bit short, for he’s really quite small. Second Chorus: The first class of ’18, The best class of ’18, Reporting in ’13 To you, all must bow. In Parker in grove, or up Bailey street Mowry, As the Hillier ascending or returning at eve, Methinks McCance (me can see) Slape-v growing brighter, As Johnson and Carlton our fortunes retrieve. High Hahn-ors we give to our President worthy, Made of good stuff, not afraid of a row; Let us give three times three for 12-3 of S. LI. S., And then with reverence to its colors Allbaugh. Catherine Hahn, 12-3. 99 REFLECTIONS The Exchange Department of the “Oriole” is too small. More attention should be given to this department. Maroon and White. “Oriole” — A nice paper. Come back again. Marsonian. “The Oriole,” Pittsburgh, Pa. — Your girls have been rather unfortunate in their basket-ball games the first half of their schedule, but we hope they will win every game in the next half. Keramos. “The Oriole,” Pittsburgh, Pa. — Your cover design and cuts are splendid. Your paper on the whole is neat and interest- ing. Opinion. “The Oriole” — An attractive magazine. High School Review. “The Oriole” — Your “Personals” are good. Sentinel. THE VALUE OF EXCHANGES We are all, or we should all be, willing to learn something through the criticisms of another. We learn new things or at least get new ideas which we can develop accordingly. The good which we gain from exchanges in school journals is sur- prising. We get an idea of the ability of the students along the lines of art from the cover design and cuts. We ob- tain hints for new departments and the way in which they are worked up by the different schools. We also learn what other schools are doing in Athletics, De- bating, and Class Work. Naturally we cannot always do what others think would improve our journal, for different people have different ideas; but we do make use of those suggestions which we think will be of advantage. AS WE SEE OTHERS The Ingot, Hancock, Mich. — Your jour- nal is neat and attractive, but very small. Where are your Exchange and Alumni de- partments? The Athletics have been neglected, also. Shamokin High School Review. — Wel- come to our exchange list. Your journal is somewhat small, nevertheless it is in- teresting. You might have had one or two more editorials, but this deficiency is made up in the Exchange department, which is one of the best we have seen this year, Peabody — In looking through the “Pea- body” we find it to be one of the largest and most complete journals on our list of exchanges. Each department has been well cared for. We reprint your editorial on “School Spirit Once More.” “School spirit is a mighty fine thing. Many editorial pages of school magazines have been filled with articles on school spirit. We have often heard speeches in the Study Hall about school spirit. But let us remind you of one thing. When students become so full of school spirit that they can see no worth in the stu- dents of another school, or when they are led to unfair and unjust criticism of the work of another school, or when they are led to unsportsmanlike conduct on the football field, on the basket-ball floor, or on the hockey rink, they are betraying the name of school spirit. We do not think that Peabody is affected in this way, but some high schools in Pittsburgh are so affected, and the disease is a contagious one. So be careful.” ALL BECAUSE OF A COMMA On a III A English paper: “And speak- ing truthfully for the first time in my life, I really enjoy poetry.” Exchange. 100 ERSG DAK ' S 12-1 A sign of spring in 12-1 was Wilbur Cunningham’s new suit.
