How rapidly the semesf ters pass! Some enter, others leave, thus the ceaseless change continues. What have you ac' quired in your days in school? Visitors to the great city of Lonf don invariably go to that magnificent Cathedral of St. Paul. In the crypt of that building lies buried the body of that famous arcliif tect who designed that splendid strucf ture. Above his resting place upon a marble slab is this inscription: L'Si monumentem ref quiris, circumspicef' If you ask for his monument look around. Sir Christopher Wren has a monument more magnificent than any marble shaft or royal mausoleum in that wonderful edifice. After all man's true monument is his own work. You, members, of this class, have been writing part of your life's history and building the foundation of your future monuments while enrolled as pupils in this school. Some have done better than others. Many have Page Eight paid a higher price in earnest effort and constant devotion to their work day by day. Christopher Wren put the best of him' self into St. Paul's and his name is im' mortal. The best things of life are not se' cured without sac' rifice and effort. The work of the world is still done by men who think, and so in all time there will be a place for the work' er. If you have ac' quired definite habf its of work, and with this have the desire to labor though rewards seem remote, you have gained that which is most valuf able in all life. The world is full of people today who are afraid of doing something for nothing, but who are not at all sensitive about receiving something for nothing. Not all of these young people are outside the school. As you leave high school for industry or college you will meet reverses. Be patient, be earnest, be truth' ful, be honest, and monuments pleasing to your friends will remain when you have completed life's work. Sincerely yours, December 16, 1927. H. E. WINNER, Principal.

EDWARD ASHTGN- ED EUGENIA BERTONI- SIS We wonder what his fate will beg Not a vain and cold ideal, Will wealth and fame o'ertake him?

The South Hills High School Sesame I I I I Athletics at South Hills High School FOOTBALL The curtain has closed on Football, the King of all sports. While South Hills has not experienced what we would consider a successful season from the stand' point of victories, we give the team credit for their fighting spirit, which was evident during the entire season. With only three letter men, Captain Lambert, Davis, and Scott, remaining from last year, Coach iWashabaugh began to train a comparatively inexperif -eneed squad, teaching them the necessary fundamentals of football. South Hills, with high hopes, opened the season with Allegheny, only to see our hopes cast aside and to find Allegheny winner 12fO, after a hard fought battle. The Allegheny game gave Coach Washabaugh a chance to pick out the weak spots and to improve them. The fighting spirit of South Hills rose and from our rival, Langley, we gained a decisive victory 19fO. Page Thirty In the next game South Hills was again forced aside by the powerful Oliver team to the tune of 27f7. South Hills next tied Perry 6f6, in a very hard fought contest. On the following week, Carrick was our opponent. In one of the hardest fought games of the season, we defeated Carrick 2fO. Next came the fatal trip to Hurst High at Mt. Pleasant. The squad had been looking forward to this game all season. So South Hills lads packed their togs and traveled to Mt. Pleasant, only to be swept aside by the powerful Hurst Team, in the season's final game by a score of 63f0. Davis, Lambert, Price, Dague, Scott, Peitches, Waddill, Currie, and Poole were the most consistant performers of the team. Regis Davis was elected captain of the next year's team. We all sincerely hope that South Hills will be represented by a championship eleven. GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM GIRLS' SWIMMING TEAM Y BASKETBALL SQUAD GYM TEAM I -- -A-NX M.. Senior Publication February 1928 l SOCCER TEAM JUNIOR SOCCER The soccer team of the junior High School has finished the most successful season that any South Hills soccer team has ever enjoyed. The team won both the city and county titles. A thing never done by any soccer team in this school. Throughout the season the boys who were piloted by Coach Mazeski showed very admirable courage and a spirit of cooperation which was partly responsible for the team's success. Other factors contributing to their success were their size and speed which entirely out' classed their opponents. Vv'e, of the Senior High, congratulate the Juniors upon their remarkable team, and extend to them every best wish for success in their other sports. -A4 4. , GYM TEAM Mr. Mazeskie, with the able assistance of Henry Wheeler and Fred Werling, have developed an ex' ceedingly clever gym team this year. The boys comprising the team have proven that they are capable gymnasts, having scored victories over Carrick and Schenley. Mr. Mazeskie has taken advan- tage of these practice meets to pick out the weaknesses of the team, and with these faults rounded out, the team should make a very creditable showing in the championship meet. Kucera, one of last year's stars, is captain of this year's team. He has progressed very rapidly in the art of gym work, and has proven himself a very capable leader and an inspiration to the younger boys of the team. It is our wish that the gym team will bring due credit to themselves and the school. Page Thirtyftlwee mention should be given to Virginia Miller, who cap' The South Hills High School Sesame BASKETBALL The boys began a strenuous training program, early in the season, under the careful and willing guidance of Coach Washabaugh and Captain Irr.

SWIMMING The Girls' Swimming season of 1927 was very successful. Our girls defeated Langley, Oliver, Carrick, Allegheny, and Perry in the dual meets. In the Chamf pionship Meet, the Senior team stands second in the city, tying with Peabody for this position. Honorable tured the Breaststroke Championship, Genevieve Rose, who retained the Diving Championship of the city, and Virginia Miller and Helen Neschke, who placed first in Lifefsaving. Virginia Miller was unanimously elected Captain of the Girls' Swimming Team for next season. We wish you luck, Virginia. The following girls earned their varsity letters, and received them from Miss Beach in an Athletic Assembley on December 5: Genevieve Rose, Jane Doesch, Virginia Miller, Helen Neschke, Lois Shep' uard, Louise Brubaker, Margaret Redlinger, Helen Butcher, Helen Hinkley fMgr.j Page Thirtyffour L GIRLS' BASKETBALL The girls' basketball team of South Hills High School has always made a creditable record in this field. Judging from the work, enthusiasm, and good fighting spirit, this year's team will be no exception. There could be no better leader for the team than the Captain, Grace Emph. Through her leadership and the hearty support of the team, we are sure of a sucf cessful season. The girls selected for the team are: Grace Emph fCaptainj, Mary Walker, Genevieve Rose, Florence Seldon, Christine Ruoff, Mary Mulhalland, Margaret Forsythe, Katherine Taylor, Gladys McNutt, and Natalie Hagan. The first game was played on December 2 with Perry High at South Hills. The result was: South Hills 33, Perry 16. The next game was with Allegheny at Allegheny, on December 6, with a score that spelled defeat for South Hills. The score was Allegheny 44, South Hills 31. The schedule beginning December 9 will terminf ate January 17 with the following games having been played: December 9-South Hills at Carrick.

January 10-Carrick at South Hills. January 17-South Hills at Oliver. GIRLS' TENNIS Under the direction of Miss Stevens, Christine Ruoff and Jessie Meisel were selected from a group of candidates to represent South Hills High School for the Tennis season. Tennis has never been an outstanding feature in the sport activities among the student body of South Hills. The girls worked diligently in spite of the fact that they were handicapped by the lack of convenient courts on which to practice. Christine Ruoff won the championship of Section II. Although she was defeated by a member of another Section in the city, she deserves the hearty commendaf tion of all. r .auL..,... .

A Y , .. in 'uf- N 1' WW! x, The South Hills High School Sesame l I CLASS PLAY STAFF DULCY-OUR SENIOR CLASS PLAY The Glass play was given but one night, to everyone's sorrow, for Dulcy was a great success. To begin with, Dulcy was just right. No wonder Gordon loved her so, in spite of her interfering ways. Her brother Bill said she had never learned the difference between a surprise and a shock. Was ever anything more romantic than an elopement and especially that of Mr. Forbes' daughter, Angela, with Mr. Leach, a scenario writer who thrilled the ladies and bored the men? Instead of returning with the expected groom, she came back with Bill, who acted as chauffeur for the elopement. Dulcy did not plan this move, but it was pleasing to Forbes and united him and his wife once more, so as usual Dulcy took the praise. The cultured financier, Van Dyke, provided the crowning surprise by being the possessor of an hallucf ination that he had millions. Mr. Forbes ceased to be jealous when he realized his rival's condition so he 'Lswallowed his greenfeyed monster. The latter- being a feat which Forbes' advertising man, Sterrit, was not able to accomplish. He must have been lucky at bridge, for he certainly was not with Angela. Of course, it all Page Forty worked out right, for Gordon and Dulcy were in Forbes' good favor since Brother Bill married Forbes' daughter, and the business deal ended with success. The cast did excellent work. Miss Ruth Francis as Dulcy, played her part as no other could. Mr. Wil' liam Getty was just the type which Dulcy thought she could manage, perhaps rightly, too. Miss June Slater, as Angela, was declared worthy of a romantic abducf tion, while Mr. Dale Roth, as Bill, was the chauffeur' groom and Dulcy's little brother, Willfee. The Forbeses, Angela's parents, were played by Miss Ruth Allwes and Mr. Horace Trautman. Both were typical, being a young wife and an old husband. Mr. Van Dyke's part, played by Edward Bonner, was well car' ried, the latter's musical ability being a valuable asset. Mr. Warren Schnabel had his opportunity to be dram- atic in the part of Mr. Leach, the moviefwriterg we'll all agree he took it. As a disappointed lover, Mr. David Brown, as Sterrit, surely was disappointed. And the butler, could Mr. Hugh Mullen buttle? You'll never find a better. Who was the lawyer, Blair Patterson? None other than Mr. Rodney Snodgrass, whose painful duty it was to remind Van Dyke that he had a home. L-...-, . 'N....l....

To begin our career we planned a picnic at the usual place of fun and frolicfEichaley's farm! Slides, swings, happy faces, joyous cries, filled the atmosphere. Oh, me! Oh, my! What fun! We soon lost our dignity and our pride in the spacts of children. When do we eat? Such cries, and pleas were heard from all our healthy, vigorous, and growing youngsters! And how they def voured that food. Then followed the divine of music, rhythm and dance, and Hnally when slow creeping, solemn shadows descended upon a beautiful sunset, we bid all au revoir and agreed we had had an ideally successful time. SENIOR B PROM The longed for and expected day came, and with it a hustling, bustling, and nervousness. A day for which great preparation had been made, following the precedent of other classes. On June 17, 1927, we gave a Prom in honor of our friends and schoolmates, the june Graduating Class of '27. The predominating colors on the joyous occasion were scarlet and silver, following the color scheme of the Class Book which was carried out in Louis XIV style. Scarlet panels lined the walls of the ballroom. Panels with gracefully curved tops, and a small oval placed in the center of each, these ovals being designed in black and silver silhouette depicting artistic scenes of the period of Louis XIV. Overhead hung many leaves, singly and in bunches, to give a fresh, summery touch. In and about the foliage hung numerous lanterns, also decor' ated in the same style as the panels. The jolly dancers Page Forty-four glided in and out, really giving themselves up to a def lightful evening, in the period and reign, of the great King, Louis XIV. OAKHURST oUT1NG qsa. AJ Spooks! Ghosts! Haunted House! Barbeque! What have wc berefwhat can all this mean? The Senior A picnic of course, and those bold Vikings braved all such scares and taunts and chose the very lair of the mystery men for their gayest, jolliest, and last merry making outing. They feared not these superfbeings, nay, they instead enjoyed the fascinating sports of foot' ball and baseball. Then the juicy, licious dinner, which steadily and quickly disappeared, for our brave Vikings do justice to all food. Then dusk crept upon these loyal braves and a fire was kindled-they huddled about it in a group. Then to break the stillness of the darkness-Screams! Shrills! Agonizing cries! The warriors were up and off, brave indeed were they! Villians and Rescue! Happiness to worried hearts and safety to troubled victims. Ask Noel! Then again around the great cheery fire, pitch darkness beyond, penetrated only by the lirelights flickering shadows. stories, dreams, and contentment. JUNIORfA STEAK BAKE A Steak Roast-savoring of a nice juicy steak and a good time. That's it folks, that's just what we were treated to. On Saturday, October 9, 1927, some thirty not' ables of the February Class of '28, traveling by inter' urban cars, or automobiles, arrived at Dickson's Farm. It was an ideal spot for our rarin' tearin' friends. . W Senior Publication February 1928 gggg SOME OF THE PRIZE COSTUMES HALLOWEEN DANCE UR, AND SRJ Spooks! Cats!

What fun, gayety, and dance! But the great fuzzy, wierd and vicious looking spider above us made the air feel creepier than ever and we suddenly realized we were all within his web and clutches. Oh, mercy, but nay, how can one ask a miserable creepy, clawing, monster for mercy? Ah, he chooses one, two, three, four of our dear friends. What are his plans? Erma Staas, Edward Bonner, Ruth Allwes, Lee Castog Kath' erine Yost, Paul Ferrerog Helen Sisenwain and Fielding jukes. Oh, how sad their fate! But no, the witches to our rescue, and with mysterious whispers and glances, softened his anger. Lovely presents he bestowed upon those mentioned above, and then he regained his old position above us, and watched our gayety--vigilant to the end. P. 1 SENIOR PROM One of the happiest events we SeniorfA's have to look forward to is the coming party given in our honor by the Senior Class under the guardianship of Mr. Mc' Cready. We have learned of their plans for decorations which promise to rank among the foremost of the beau' tiful proms. These arrangements are to be in two colors, orchid and silver, and the whole is intended to symbolize the instructional purposes of the modem high school. Arranged beneath the balcony will be sixteen pillars, giving the effect of support, on which will be inscribed the subjects taught in our school, together with the names of some of the persons who have made these particular subjects famous, or who through these subjects have themselves become noted. Unique lanterns are to be hung between the pillars, and through the transparent sections of these gay lanterns the numerals 1928 will shine gloriously forth. The Center piece is to be a large copy of our school's seal and motto. Then there will be balloons, streamers, banners, and music to insure a happy, en' joyable entertainment.

After securing full equipment in the rich storefhouses of Latin I and II, and preparing exf tensively, we set out for the shores of Gaul. Stormy winds and shoals threatened our craft, but we finally sailed safely into the harbor. There we encountered brave Caesar with his legions, who taught us much of ancient military lore. We had to hasten away to our next port which was Italy. Cicero came forth to welf come us, and acquainted us with the affairs of the Roman government. We might have lingered there l .5 -.-15 Y GRO indefinitely absorbing knowledge and culture from the noble inhabitants, but thedistant citadels of Carthage beckoned. After a clear passage we disembarked at the most alluring place in our travels. It was made so by great Virgil who enthralled us with his marvelous tales of Aeneas and the Trojans. It is with regret that we are Hnally sailing away from Carthageg and yet we have proven ourselves able sailors, for out of the vast throng who began the voyf age we are the survivors. - SPANISH CLUB The Spanish IV Class recently organized a club and elected the following olficers: PrCSidC11t ........................ ...........................

W allace Hull Last year Der Deutsche Verein , the German Club, made its debut in South Hills' circles. It was the pioneer organization in that language department, for German had never been a major subject before its inf troduction within the last three years. The German Club became immediately popular, boasting a member' ship of over forty students. The graduation in June took its toll of charter members, and when the call for organization went out this semester the numbers were greatly decreased. Instead of hampering the club, this helped it, making possible a greater scope in discussion and material in club programs. The German Club provides a source for the Gerf man student from which he may gain a wider and full' er knowledge of the cultural and intellectual life of Germany. The great statesmen, the immortal poets and composers, the great generals that Germany has given to the world are discussed in the programs given at the meetings. Games and songs lighten and brighten the programs and make them enjoyable. So in combinf ing all these elements, the German Club is both con- structive and instructive, the discussion of these sub' jects familiarizes the student with the language, and in turn broadens his view point and heightens his culf ture. If the student leaves the German Club with these things accomplished, the Club has truly accomplished its purpose.

Martha Torner The French Club, which is not as well known to the student body as some of the clubs, is of great inf terest to its members. The meetings were held during the French 4 class period, and we had four very suc' cessful gatherings this semester. Instead of presenting the entire programs in French, we decided to have the most important topics given in English in order. to offer variety, as we spend the regular French period talking French. This semesf ter each program dealt with a different phase of French life. At our first meeting we discussed the French Edu' cational System, and at the other meetings we learned about our French neighbor, Canada, and about French art. These programs proved very interesting and value able to the members of the club. THE RED CROSS CLUBS Tuesday - President ..........,,............ .....................................

Gladys Moore The Red Cross Club is organized primarily for the purpose of teaching its members the fundamentals of Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick. Under' the supervision of Miss Hepler, the girls of the club learn to do much of the work of a graduate nurse. They learn to make a patient comfortable which includes, not only propping up the pillows and straight' ening the spread, but also placing the patient in the position most comfortable to his ailment, and arranging the applications correctly. Reading a thermometer and taking a pulse are also in the club schedule, besides many other things necessary to a patient's comfort and convalescence. Caring for babies and dressing them correctly is one of the most interesting things the girls learn to do. Perhaps the work that is of the greatest value to society is the care of infectious diseases. The girls learn what to do when a disease breaks out and spreads throughout the community, and how to care for them' selves to keep from taking the disease.

U ff 04 A055 ART CGMMITTEE The Art Committee is quite an active body and is of importance to the school. It works for the school, helping in such matters as the following. The 'LSesame is largely dependent on this group for the cover design, various plates throughout the book, and for cartoons. The committee is responsible for many posters used during the school year for various purposes. The class play scenery always represents a large amount of work by the committee as also do the decorations for the prom. In return, the opportunity to do such work as the above, gives the members much practical and entertainf ing experience which will likely prove valuable to them in later life. The committee is sponsored by Mr. McAdow, who does the most work and is deserving of the thanks of his cofworkers and of the student body. The memf bers are advanced art students numbering about twelve. No regular meetings are held. It is simply a working organization of workers who are enjoying themselves at the same time that they are learning. Page Fiftyftwo CIVICS CLUB Officers: President .....,.......... .,,,,, W in.

Miss McKinney and Miss Hobbs Purpose of the Club: To maintain an ideal of good citizenship in school and community. To become familiar with community activities by visits and reports concerning them. Many reports have been given and visits made, among which have been those to the Federal District Court, Common Pleas Court, Traffic Court, Juvenile Court, The Police Court, The Thornhill School for Boys, and the Parting of the Vxfays Home. Other visits are planned. By means of actual visits, the members of the club hope not only to become intelligent about various phases of community life but to acquire an interest and be helpful in promoting and fostering all that makes. for general Welfare. lilill CROSS CLUB CIVICS CLUB I A MATHEMATICS CLUB STAGE CREW 96010 leciric, SHOP Print SHOP 'wood pfint The South Hills High School Sesame CLASS KNOCKER Ladies, gentlemen, and you too, Sophomores. Alf though most people do not realize it, a Knocker holds a very prominent position in this old world of ours, Some one knocked the old route to China and Go' lumbus set out to find a new one. The women Nknockf ed the way men ran the country and obtained wof man suffrage. Tunney knocked Dempsey and ref ceived a half a million for it. And I am about to knock these illustrous Senior A's and take a chance of getting mobbed! Let us first look over this Senior A class. It is a joke! The smartest ones in it are kids who have skipped several grades, while some others, mostly football play' ers, have been here so long it's just a second home. All the work is shoved on to the shoulders of Edward Ashton, whom everyone knows is hardly capable of third year Spanish. Speaking of Spanish, do you know 'lPink Fitch? Why hevbut let us pass on! Have you seen our German hounds? Oh, my, yesflluth Allwes and Peg Accipiter-very good! After being associated with people for four years, one gets to know them pretty well. I have known this gang for some time, so I will tell you some of their shortcomings. Thus, by the exposure of some of the worst cases, we can assure a successful evening. I think that the' majority will back me up in my suggestions. And although Eddie Bonner firmly denies the report that he was the inspiration for that famous old song hit 'iBeside a Babbling Brook, we have our doubts. Bumps Schnabel is a star football playerggrantedg but as a ladyfkiller he's just another CrossfRoads Romeo. Let us glance at the wardens of this institution, the faculty. They are the real cause of our failures for they are the ones that give the low grades. Do we all agree that some should be named Marcus Loew ? ? And the way they treat us-but what can we expect when their minds are Hlled with thoughts of-well, you know, in the spring, the young man's fancy and all that. Each member of this noble faculty has some pe' culiarity, It is said that the students who laugh loudest at their jokes receives the highest marks. This is the only way we can account for Meredith's high grades. South Hills High without Miss Heenan would be just like ham without eggs, or Miss Griffith without Miss White. As for Mr. Winner, he controls the skin you love to touch, the sheepskin, sometimes known as Page Fiftyfsix a diploma which I hope to receive twentyffour hours hence. The Glass Play was a great success in spite of the cast. Bill Getty took the leading part, and how! Ruth Francis, our prominent actress and singer, is probably wondering what to do with her voice. It might come in handy in case of a fire. June Slater, an' other member of the cast, some of us think her a total loss to romancers, but not jack I could continue indefinitely concerning the faults of our brilliant class, but time flies! Do others before they do you, as Ben Frank' lin said, or was it Euripides? Speaking of the Junior Highwit is just like a new baby. The school board has forgotten there is a Senior High. They have lavished presents, and praise on the little brother, while we older ones have been sadly neglected, and little by little are being forced out into the cold, cruel world, and in fortyfeight hours we will all be digging for ourselves. It is not fair for the school board as our foster parent to pamper its Youngest but then personally I am in favor of getting along without a school board anyhow. Alas! I am afraid to say more. Even now I see the storms of wrath gathering upon your brows and flashes of fire darting from your eyes. And now, pa- tient audience, I will not weary you further with these endless thrusts, ridiculing the Vanities of my class. If my loud and presumptious knocking has opened the door of your minds, and has permitted new and better ideas for improvement of S. H. H. S. to enter, I shall consider my task well done. It has been well said that the best place for a knocker is outside the door. Hence, I will go to my proper place. RUTH HOUGH. KEY TO NAMEOGRAPH HEMPH -Basketball. 'isoHNABEL -Football.

S T I NQ: 4.4.23 0 V w Senior Pmblicatimll-iebmmry 1928 , Er OUR BAND TO SENIOR A'S The training which you have received in South Hills is merely the foundation or equipment which you bring to your life work. When you leave school, you will be standing on the threshold of life and you will need faith and courage. You will need the courage to have ideals and the courage to be true to them. Do not be afraid of life and its problems. If you have the right ideals and the will to work, your mission in life will be accomplished. It will bring you happiness, joy and con- tentment. Have faith in yourself because faith is a wonderful thing. Faith works wonders. If you do not have faith in yourself, you will limit your own capacity to succeed. Do not let this faith, however, develop into arrogance or conceit. Modesty is essential if one is to be truly successful. Keep your mind clean and active. Be awakeg observe things. Do not think that success is at the beginning of the road. Remember the road to success is very long and steep. To win in the business game or any game, includf ing the game of life itself, you must enjoy it. To enjoy business, to enjoy life, you must be in good health. The future of this country is given to us, the children of America. How will we fulfill this trust? THERESA PALERMO. THE STAGE CREW The stage crew is organized solely for the purpose of service to the South Hills High School, and not for individual benefit. It is composed of nine boys selected from the Senior A, B, and junior A classes, who take either Electric or Wood shop, and they must stand high in their academic work. Additions to our equipment are being made each semester, in order that South Hills have an installation comparable with that of a modern theater. The follow' ing equipment has been purchased and installed this semester: Three spotlights, four 1000 watt wing flood lights, and one interior set of scenery. Mr. S. L. Everett of the electrical department is the director of the stage crew and the following named boys are members: Noel Emanuel, Howard Sheriff, Fred Smith, George Stewart, Paul Sorg, Jack Hewitt, John Harsh' barger, and George jones.

F N71 F Nil F il TO Tl-lllE CLASS OF FEBRUARY 1928 VERY Class, when it goes out from the high school on its Com' mencement Day, leaves a definite impression on the minds of its teachers and fellow students. This impression is an ac' cumulation of the many judgments that have been passed upon it, and the opinions that have been formed of its four year course. Perhaps you are interested in knowing what we think of you. As we review your history, we shall probably not remember you as a brilliant class, though there are some keen minds to be found among you. But we shall appreciate the fact that you have never once failed to give uncomplaining obedience to the commands of your principal and teachers. We shall note also that there has never been any serious diff ference of opinion within the class, the minority having always deferred to the majority. We shall discover, too, that you have contributed worthily to the various athletic teams, to the clubs, and to the governing body of the school. ln short you have always been characterized by quiet achievement without ostentation or display. The history of a school is made up of the lives of those who pass in and out of its doors every day. You have written your chapter well. May you go out to write just as well the line or page of the history of the world which may be allotted to you. We shall miss you. STELLA A. PRICE.

Dear Pop, You remember when you .were starting for Africa to the diamond fields you made me promise to write you at least one letter each year while I was in High School. My Freshie year is over-did I have a good time? Hey! hey! They haven't finished the building yet, but the noise, like pity, covers a multitude of sins terrors in recitationj. But, Dad, I was awfully disappointed! I thought that I would be razzed to death when I arrived here. But everyone was so nice and sweet to me that I thought I must be an excepf tional child. I soon found out that they treated all the Freshies that way. The Senior's gave us a reception in the girls' gym. We regarded them all as though they were gods. We finally found out different' l . Y We got our reports-and oh, my! Of course I passed everything. Well, Dad, I'll write you again. Your son, jimmy. June 1, 1926. Dear Dad, I surely do wish that you were here as I'm now a proud Sophomore. You can't realize how much nicer being a Sophomore is than being a Freshman, until you've been one. I'1l surely be glad to be a junior, for then I'11 be able to take part in the social life of the school. At last they have finished the school. Now no more noise with the exception of what those Freshies make. We have everything right upftofdate now. I really can't write much as I want to play ball tonight. With love, Jim. P. S. Thanks for the moneyfcame in handy. June 1, 1927. Dear Governor, This surely has been one wonderful year for me. I'm a Junior now! There's a dandy crowd of fellows and girls in my class and we are gof ing to show the rest of this class what real Apep is. We had our first class riot. No one was hurt very badly, with the exception of two girls, that were trampled in the rush when the meeting adjourned. We elected as our officers-Fritz Ruoff, president, Dan Gee, vice president, Jean Wood, as keeper of the book, and Jessie Meisel as guardian of the lucreg of course we had to have a guardian, so we elected Mr. McCready who is the type of man for a guardian. We had a box social. Here Dot Bailey won the beauty rize. fLeave it to our class to think of something original., In May we went yatching. In other words, the school held its first boat ride on the Homer Smith. No one got sea sick or fell overboard. I hear though, that, that ride has imbued Ed. Spohn with the desire to be a gob. Then we had a picnic. A glorious picnic, with worms, ants, and everything. We went swimming, and played tennis. Talk about Flamf ing Youth, some of the more adventurous ones of the class amused themselves by plucking wild' flowers. Cf course we forgot to get lights for the dancing floor, so Chuck Cahill went home and borrowed some of his Dad's. Well, .Dad, I want to go to the show-and Dad, do you think you could advance me a little on my next allowance? As ever, James. June, 1928. My dear Father, It won't be long now! My Senior year is almost over, and I must confess that Ilm sorry. This last year has been so busy, that Old Man Time seems to have grown wings and flown. In the first half of our Senior year we dis' covered that the teachers really were human! At the end of our SeniorfB year we gave a Prom. It was held in the girls' gym, which was decorated very cleverly. These decorations rep' resented pillars, on which were inscribed names of great men. It was a true Hall of Fame. They made only one mistake-they forgot to put my name on one of the pillars! Our SeniorfA year was one hectic year. We were given a surprise on May '7 and 8. State exams! I haven't recovered from them yet. Soon our Class Day program will be given in Assembly. It's going to be very clever! Then one more Prom-and then-Graduaf tion. We surely will hate to leave good old South Hills. 5 Well, Father, I wish you could be here for Commencement, but will tell you all about it when I join you in August. I am watching the mail each day, as I am expecting your Commencement gift. With love, Your son, James Aloyious Smythe. WI? W N U UM A T J N i Senior Class Prophecy After long and careful search, it has been found that the future can be foretold in only one entirely satisfactory manner. This method has been hidden for centuries and has only been dis' covered recently. We, of the modern age have been too prone to sneer at the great science of Mysticism. We believe in nothing that cannot be proven. We mockwyea, actually scorn Friday, the Thirteenth. FOOLS! How long will we be blind? Thus it is that the great privilege of fore' seeing the future is now reserved to a very few. Only those who follow explicitly and entirely, the directions given, can hope to look ahead into the years that lie before them. The following directions are an exact translation from the ancient Ethiopian. Q11 Grasp tightly, in the left hand, one lead pencilg QZD Concentrate your mind on the subject of the third from last assembly speakerg Q35 Read the questions carefully, and intelligently Qif possiblejg Q45 Answer each question by the word yes or no according to your experience. Q51 Add the total number of yeses. Turn the page. Q61 Find the number corresponding to the total. THAT IS YOUR FATE! Qlf the total is zero, your prophecy is number nine' teen. QUESTIONS Answer Yes or No 1. Did someone take the last piece of cake just as you reached for it? 2. Can you quote the elastic clause of the constitution? QSaid clause not connected with the Wrigley Oorporationj 3. Can you stand on the table and touch the floor with your Hngers without closing your eyes? 4. Can you crawl through the window in an emergency? 5. Can you read moving pictures upside down? Downsidefup? 6. Did you cleanup , 'lpaintfup , and plantfup or simply Hpaintfupn? 7. Did you ever hear a lecture on Thrift? Did the speaker tell you where to get the money to save? 8. Should one tell the absolute truth at all times? Did you ever try it? Can you balance the Thrate equation? QThis question only for those who can re' cite the Declaration of Independencej Are you glad that May 7 and 8 are past? Can you prove the Therorn: One half the square of a dime equals the sum of the other two nickels? Do you know who said, Wayknee, Weedy, Weeky? Do you know who the little boy was who took his tooth to Paris in his pocket? Have you ever seen swans as big as the ones described in SO6? Do you know who was called Staw Nose? Did you ever notice that the teachers ask for an excuse rather than a reason for absence? Do you know the following people:-The Emperor of Americag Don Amaziog the Old Stagerg Herman Hemendaw and Pete, the porter? Did you know that Shakespeare's name may be spelled to suit space?

Various visits have been made and reported, among them the following: The Kingsley House and its Activities The jones and Laughlin Steel Mills Federal, Common Pleas, Traffic and Juvenile Courts The Morgue and the Weather Bureau. Two debates of interest were on The Coal Strike and Government Ownership and Conf trol of HydrofElectric Power Sites. Some type of outing will conclude the year's work. Le Cercle Francais Le cercle francais has always held a very prominent place among the clubs of the school. It still holds that former prestige and has inf creased its importance because of the increase in its membership. The purpose of the club is to increase the interest of the students in French in having a better understanding of the' French language. By means of this club, the students are able to learn many interesting facts about France and her citizens, which they are unable to attain in their regular French course. Mem' bership is limited to students of the French IV and III classes. The meetings of the club are carried on entirely in French. The meeting opens with the reading of a French Bible by the president. The pupils then repeat the Lord's prayer in French. When the roll is called, the pupils usually answer by the name of an eminent Frenchman, a French proverb, or a celebrated church of France. During the main part of the programs, legends about the French peasants and their customs and habits have been related to the club by different members.

I rma Stasz Stage Crew The stage crew consists of eight members selected from the various shops. It is sponsored by Mr. Everett of our electrical department and is divided into three groups: The property crew, the electricians, and the carpenters. John Harshbarger supervises the property crew consisting of George Carnes, Walter Jacobi, and Warren Fox. Lew Martin and George Jones represent the electrical department, and Paul Sorg is the stage carpenter, with Jack Hewitt as stage manager. The modern stage equipment is being inf creased so that the effects on our stage will be equal to those of a modern theater. This semesf ter the dimmer box or portable stage switchboard was rebuilt in order to increase its capacity for color changes. Four new 1000 watt flood lights were built and installed together with a new row of border lights so that now S. H. H. S. has the best stage equipment of any high school in the city. In order to properly care for our scenery, a new scene dock holding eight sets of scenery in addition to set pieces has been built by the crew. A second property room has also been built to care for draperies and costumes. TOP, STAGE CREVV: BOTTOM, SPANISH CLUB TOP, ART COMMITTEE: BOTTOM, GERMAN CLUB I N OTHER CLUBS RADIO JOURNAL! CO-TO-COLLEGE, The Art Committee The Art Committee, organized two years ago, was established with the object of promoting a keener interest in art in South Hills. One of the qualifications necessary in order to become a member of this club is that the applicant be an advanced art student. This group renders considerable service to the different organizations of the school. The posters of the various clubs and teams, some of the stage settings, the drawings in the year book, prom decorations, and similar projects are pref pared by the Art Committee. This yearis club work has included picture study, sketching from life, discussions on Gobelin Tapestries and Modernistic Art, and also a lecf ture about design in furniture by an authority. Mr. McAdow's capable VVO1'k in sponsoring and directing the activities of this group is a facf tor in the success of many affairs in the school. LAURA KREBS. Spanish Club This semester the Spanish Club was organ' ized in two sections on account of our numbers and time of meeting. The purpose of our club is to give its members a knowledge of Spanish literature, art, and history, and an insight into the social and political life of Spanish speaking peoples. Interesting programs have been presented during the semester on various subjects inter' spersed with Spanish games and playlets and Spanish songs. The oilicers of the two divisions are: .

Dramatics The desire of the June Class of '28 for dramatic culture was shown by the large group which elected Dramatics. This interest was productive of results too, as proved by the excellent plays presetned. The inaugural appearance of our Thespians was in Percival Wilde's Confessional , a onefact drama of character development presented in Senior Assembly. Following this was nThe Knave of Hearts , by Louise Saunders, which was offered in Junior Assembly. This play is a delightful little comedy based upon the familiar nursery rhyme, The Queen of Hearts. The outstanding success of the semester was the Senior Class Play, The Lion and the Mouse by Charles Klein, given May 11, in South Hills auditorium. The Lion and the Mouse is a comedy in four acts dealing with the conflict be' tween just government and powerful financial interests. Through the courage and diplomacy of Shirley Rossmore, justice triumphs, and Shirley feels free to marry Jefferson Ryder, the son of her father's former enemy.

How we had awaited this day with great misgivings lest the elements should forsake usfbut here the day was and mercury was neither too low nor too high, but had struck the happy medium. . What a time we had! Fritz Ruoif, Willie Glasgow, Raleigh Patton and Ed. Heil went through their paces in swings, and seefsawsfand wrought havoc with their spotless picnic attire. There was tennis, of course. Jessie Meisel, Janet Golmar, Dorothy Morse, Christine Ruoff, strenuously performed a labor of love ln fact, enthusiasm so tempered the winds in this quarter that Joanne Crum and Dolly Edwards actually went home to procure the necessary racquets. . The most popular sport of the afternoon was swimming. Genevieve Rose proved her mettle as a diverwremember our class harbors the diving champion of the city! Gne of the other features of the afternoon was a baseball game-and if the Pirates want to assure themselves of the Pennant this year, they should get in touch with some of the stars in that game, perhaps Claire Cryder, Jean Wood, Anna Gill, Everett Wilson, Dick Long. Next chronologically the eats , crude ter' minalogyg but the one word dear to the heart of picknickers. Somehow or other, the food dis' appeared. Odd how that phenomenon occurs even in the innermost circles of the elite. Then to forestall that after dinner lassitude, one of the most exciting games ever witnessed took place. To our bewildered eyes it became a cross between football and baseball. Even the girls displayed their prowness as ugofgettersf' The McCann girls were in the thick of the fray. Ida Johnson astounded us all with her dexterity, and Bobby Husted, for such a tiny girl, was a veritable human dynamo. Virginia Eichleay, Helen Neschke, Mary Golden, Betty Bartley McGaffin formed a round table telling ghost stories, but came to the conf clusion that all efforts that they exerted to render their listeners terrified were futile, for the single reason that the bright lights of the dance pavilion were not conducive to phantasms. Later in the evening our zeal ebbed and we became, as befit our station, ladies and gentlemen. The orchestra arrived and we danced. At ten o'clock we wended our weary way home, blissfully and ecstatically exhausted,- The Way of All Flesh! Senior Prom The time had at last come when we could show our reverence for the dignified Seniors. What shape or form would that reverence take? Why, we would naturally exemplify our feelings by the conventional Prom. The afternoon before the Prom found the committee in the gym, working with avidity. Harold Crissman worked conscientiously as is his wont. Natalie Schwan was here, there, and everywhere. Adolph Falk contributed his artisf tic genius. No casualities occurred with the lone excepf tion of the mishap which befell Edward Heil. Poor Ed. To think the day should ever come that one cannot even trust his best friend. You see, he was depending on the individual at the bottom of the ladder. The decorations were in lavender, silver, and green. Statuesque Roman columns arose from the floor, bearing the names of many of the notables in the present and past centuries and appearing to support the balcony of the girls' gym. This theme was most thoughtfully worked out by our guardian in conjunction with the art department. A gay note was struck by the bright lanterns suspended from the balcony. The Purple Derbies supplied the music. A Grand March was held. It was led by the officers of both the SeniorfA and SeniorfB classes. Favors were distributed by Vivian Crawf ford and Grace Gaul, Lavender morning glories were given to the SeniorfA's and water lilies to the SeniorfB's. At eleven o'clock the home waltz was heard. The moment of jubilant gayety had passed, and so marked another epoch in our school life-the Prom night-the occasion immemorial. .lunior B Box Social The first real bit of news in weeks-fthe june Glass of '28 was to hold its first social event in the form of a box social-one that would be an exact replica of those held when mother was a girl. The social fans of the class gathered in the everfpopular girls' gym-keyed up to a high pitch. There were the boxes. Good, substantial looking ones wrapped in brown paper, and fluffy befrilled onesAtempting to the eyes. The innocent victims, as is the way of men, paid scandalous sums for the exquisitely befrib- boned ones-and suffered the throes of a gnawing hunger. The practical minority became the sole owners of the stout ones, and their voracious appetites were satiated. There is a profound moral entailed in the above-observe! GIRLS' CHAMPIONSHIP BASKETBALL TEAM Girls' Basketball The girls' varsity basketball team of the South Hills High School showed their prowess by capturing city honors. The season looked exceptionally good from the beginning, not only because of ten letter girls from the preceeding year, but also because of the addition of seven letter girls from Knoxville. The girls got off to a good start in defeating Perry by a large score. However, the next game was lost to Allegheny. Not daunted by this up' set, the team defeated Carrick, Cliver, Cora' opolis, Dormont and Perry. The important game came on january IO, with Allegheny on our floor. At the end of the season, due to a timely upset of the Allegheny girls by Perry, our school flew the colors of the Section II Championship. The crucial test came when the varsity met Peabody, champions of Section I, on the Fifth Avenue High School iloor for city honors. The undaunted spirit and determination of our girls, coupled with the playing of clean intelligent bas' ketball, won the game and city championship for South Hills. H The Boggs and Buhl trophy, a beautiful mounted silver basketball, will be retained by our school for a year, after which it will go back to Allegheny, who has won it twice. Mr. Harry C. Brown, of the Oliver High School, gave the varsity another trophy, a replica of the Boggs and Buhl award. The six varsity girls, Grace Emph fCapf tainj, Mary Walker, Christine Ruoff, Margaret Forsythe, Katherine Taylor and Gladys McNutt, received small gold basketballs from the South Hills High School Athletic Association as a me' mento of the successful season. Girls' Volleyball Under the new plan of the Department of Hygiene, the varsity volleyball team was abolish' ed and replaced by four teams, made up of nine members from each class who competed against the same class from another school. ' The girls representing the South Hills High School made a creditable showing. The Senior team, captained by the able Gabriella Vachino, and under the excellent management of Imelda McCann, succeeded in defeating South here, but lost in a return game on their floor. Next year the system will not be strange, and, with this year's experience behind the girls, we are hoping for four championship teams. The girls of the Senior team who received letters are: Gabriella Vachino fCaptainj Margaret Watkins lu TOP, VOLLEY BALL TEAM: BOTTOM, LEADERS CLUB TRACK TEAM Leaders' Club The Leaders' Club in South Hills has always been known as an active, widefawake organizaf tion, and this year's members are proud to report that they have been up to their chin in activities all this semester. The first meeting was held on February 13, 1928, and was purely a business meeting for the purpose of discussing membership in general. On February 28, 1928, came that grand and glorious event, Initiation, We are proud to say that none of the wouldfbe Leaders hesitated for a moment at the command given them to dive into a gym mat. Efficiency Tests were given on March 27, 1928, and on April 17, 1928, the Leaders were given a little training as to how to take charge of their gym classes. May 1, 1928, finds the members broad jump' ing, and sprinting around the campus practicing for track. The President called a short business meet' ing May 15, 1928, at which Barbara Barns was elected as Superior Leader. For this Barbara is to be given a medal. To qualify as Superior Leader one must be an active member for two years. The medal signilies that the girl has been of most service to her school and Track Outlook May 11, 1928 Track, always an outstanding sport at South Hills High School, is especially interesting this year because of the schedule of events which calls for varied talent. The teams are divided into the Senior division or the eleventh and twelfth gradesg the Intermediates who are chosen from the tenth year, the Nines and the Junior team or the seventh and eighth grades. Track practice has been attended by many and great enthusiasm has been displayed by the girls. Several stars from Knoxville are showing much ability and many of our own girls are very promising. The competition is perhaps the closest in quoits. Bobby Husted, Bary Walk' er and L'Reds Seldon are equally matched. Bobby represented our school last year. Mary and Reds were runnersfup in the Junior championship a few years ago. The task of se' lecting this year's team is most difficult because of the equality of talent, but Miss Stevens and Miss Kelleher, the coaches, are most capable in weeding out the less efficient. The sectional meet to qualify for field events and relay races will be held on the Oliver High School grounds June 4. The meet to determine the city high school championship will be held on June 7 at the Pitt Stadium. VP fx! GJBGXVNG rw 5ALDw1fxMD SC HEUK 7DWWQ THRGUGV' H009 W5 RIMM SXQZCHUTE JUMP mo.

Lmesfrzgm CHAMPS SENIOR WEARERS OF S Girls' Tennis During the season of 1927, South Hills lacked convenient tennis courts on which students could practice, yet two girls, Christine Ruoif and Jessie Meisel, played outstanding tennis and cap' tured honors in that sport for our school, Christine Ruofl, our versatile athlete, took sectional honors by decisively defeating repref sentatives from Carrick, Langley, Oliver and Perry. In the eliminations she lost to Peabody, but succeeded in winning third place in the city championships. Jessie Meisel, with characteristic zeal, took second place in the sectional playfoifs. Miss Stevens, the coach, will have a wealth of material from which to select the tennis repref sentatives for this year. For this reason we are expecting another team of championship calibre. A QQ LL Q15 f 1 1 4 TOP, BOYS' VOLLEY BALL TEAM: BOTTOM, BOYS' TRACK TEAM Boys' Basketball Up to February 10, the South Hills High School Basketball Team had not once been def feated in eleven games. Our team had been victorious over every other team in Section 2, and was well on the road to the championship of that section. That day, however, we met Allegheny High in our second sectional tilt with them and the battle ground of that game was to us what Waterloo was to Napoleon. The optimist of the school, however, still saw a clear path to victory as we were still in first place in the section, al' though Allegheny shared that honor with us. When in our next game, our team decisively trimmed Langley, even the pessimist began to look cheerful. What then? We looked forward hopefully to an easy victory over our next op' ponent, Perry, but our hope was not to be realf ized. Perry defeated us in the closest and most heartfbreaking game of the season by a score of 26 tO 25. The seasons results for South Hills were as follows: Games wonf'f13 Games lostf - 2 Total Points: South Hills- 539 Opponents 321 The number of points scored by each player is given below: lrr QCaptainj 144, Dering 133, R.

Phillips, Clark, Currie, and Sylvester QManagerJ. The other members of the squad were: Gee, Fitzgerald, Salamon, Price, M. Phillips, Vighetti, Leddy, Reit, and Dague fAssistant Managerj. Boys' Swimming Team Our swimming team this year made a better showing than any other similar team from South Hills had ever done before. While we did not, by any means, finish in first place, we managed, at least, to make our presence in the race known and to cause the other teams to look worried at the mention of our name. Cut of the season's eight meets, we managed to win six. We felt highly pleased when our old friend, Schenley, bowed to us, and later, probably to be sociable, we returned the compliment. The efforts of Grant and Carieo in diving, Black in plunging, Cupples in breastfstroke, Poole, McKee, and Betzler in freefstyle, Reeble in backfstroke, and Haas in managing, were not without favorable result and these boys were each awarded the varsity letter in swimming. Other members of the team were: Long, Waddil, Lang, Ferrero, Walrond, Barr, Taylor, Hoppman, Kline, Gowdy, and Stockdale. Much credit should be given to Coach Mazeski for the fine showing. Valley Ball Team The South Hills High Senior and Junior Volley Ball teams worked together much of the time under the able coaching of Mr. Washaf baugh. The season, while not a very successful one, was not either an exceptionally poor one. The Seniors won three out of live games and the juniors won four out of six.

The team, coached by Mr. Majeski, can be seen al' most any night in the week practicing at War' rington Playground. Through constant practice and playing together the players have now a spirit of cooperation that is hard to beat. The season is now almost over, and the results to date show our team among the leaders of Section II. The results to date are four victories, one tie, and three defeats for South Hills. Before the season ends, South Hills must again encounter Langley, Oliver, Carrick, and Allegheny Vocational. The members of the baseball squad are as follows: Currie, Davis, Dixon, O. Fitzgerald QCaptainj, Jones, Kennan, Lambert, Lanfrom, Miller, Parke, Pietscb, Scott, Steen, Clark, Irr, Cupples and Manager Frank Cshry.
