Ross Edmiston, ’19 ’19 ’19 ’19 T9 T9 T9 T9 T9 T9 Published by the Senior Class of the State College High School Owing to war conditions, four members of the 1920 class were given the privilege of taking the four-year course in three years. It has meant a lot of work for them, but they have shown themselves equal to the task. It is hardly necessary to explain to anyone who the handsome and illus- trious-looking body on the left side of the page are, but for the benefit of those who perhaps are not very well acquainted with us we shall be glad to give the needed information. We are the class of 1919! We are always mod- est in thinking of our life’s prospects, but humble though we may be, we can- not help but know that we will give the world at least a little jolt when we all make our debut in the Hall of Fame. They speak of rising to heights of glory. For 1919 that will be a task of no great difficulty for with so many young giants in our number we could reach as far as Mars if necessary. A substantial foundation also could be readily supplied. Therefore, Sir World, we are at last ready to fdl that position you have kept vacant for us and we assure you that we shall perform our duty creditably. CLEO DID IT LL have to go—and miss the dance!” mourned Nelle Skene to a number of sympathiz- ing friends around her. “But you can’t—its the Class Dance”, objected her chum, Marian Oliver. 1 he Class Dance!” echoed the other members of the group. “Of course”, lamented Nelle; “don’t you suppose I know its the Class Dance? That makes it all the worse. But you can see for yourself how it is”. And then she added in a tone of hoplcless final- ity, “I must go”. “Read it again. What did she say?” asked one of the boys, and Nelle, obeying him, slowly drew forth a letter from her pocket and read: “‘Dear Daughter:’ (that’s mother you know) ‘Dear Daughter: William’ (that’s Uncle Bill, you know) ‘Dear Daughter: Will—’” “For pity sakes!” cried one of the girls in exasperation. “Are you ever going to get beyond ‘Dear Daughter?’” “‘William has asked a number of his college friends out’ ”, proceeded Nelle mildly “ ‘the very same night that your father and I had planned to entertain the Country Club, so I fear I shall have need of your salad forks. I‘m sure, dear Nelle—’ ” “That’s you, you know”, interrupted one of the boys, michievously. “ ‘I’m sure, dear Nelle’ ”, continued Nelle, “ ‘will not mind riding out with them. She will have to stay over night, of course, but William will show her a good time. I shall expect her on the 4 :30 train. Very affectionately, Your Moth- er’ ”. After this reading a heavy silence fell upon the group and they looked as dismal as could be expected when a class favorite was to be absent from a class affair. Suddenly Ray Williams, who w as noted for his optimism and also for his prefer- ence for Nelle to any other girl, placed his forefinger at his forehead and a look of inspiration spread over his counten- ance. The group looked hopeful; Ray’s post- ure w as familiar to them, and they knew it usually meant something interesting or some way out of a difficulty. “Friends and countrymen”, said Ray, slowly and decisively, “I know' how to solve this problem. Why not let Cleo do it?” “Cleo!” they exclaimed in a chorus. “Never!” “The very idea!” “Can you imagine anything so ridicu- lous?” “W ait!” interrupted Ray, authoritative- MAROON AND GRAY 7 ly. “Of course she can do it. She can dress in Nelle’s clothes—” “Cleo in Nelle’s clothes! Mercy!” cried Marian. “Never would I wear clothes after a negro had worn them”. “Perhaps not”, agreed Ray, “but you are not Nelle, and anyhow Cleo is above the common—” he paused in search of a suitable word “—type of negro. If she was not black—” “She’d be white or some other color, I presume”, finished Marian scornfully. “Go on, Ray”, said Nelle, I'd do almost anything to go to the dance”. “We would get her ticket, of course, dress her in Nelle’s clothes, put a thick veil over her head, give her the salad forks, and the necessary directions, and—presto —all is complete”. “But the salad forks”, objected Nelle, “neither grandmother nor mother would think of trusting that centuries-old silver to anyone but one of the family. Grand- mother distrusts absolutely everyone”. “She need never know that it was not you. Cleo won’t mind coming back on the trolley after she delivers the forks, whereas you would never be allowed to come back alone at so late an hour. our grandmother will think that you have de- cided to spend the night with one of your friends in the city instead of with her, and she will never suspect”. The ejaculations of the group now- changed from derision to commendation and they all agreed it was an excellent plan. They talked for a little longer, dur- ing which time Nelle’s fears and objec- tions were overruled and the plan was per- fected. Then Cleo had to be interviewed. This Nelle and Ray agreed to do. Cleo was detained in the assembly hall after school was dismissed, and, after an hour s ses- sion, the three emerged, Nell and Ray, tired and triumphant, and Cleo, perplex- ed but determined to “do or die”, and with her mind a jumble of admonitions; such as, “Don’t let go of the salad forks one instant!” “Don’t lift your veil on any account!” “Don’t miss the trolley!” and so forth. To tell the truth, Cleo was not much in favor of the plan, but Nelle had always treated Cleo more as an equal than had any other one of her school friends. It was she who first stopped the teasing about Cleo’s name—Cleohatra Brow-n. How could Cleo help it if Deacon Jones made all his p’s like h’s, and that the Rev- erend Mr. Johnson, never having heard of Cleopatra, had baptized her Cleohatra in- stead? Remembering these things, Cleo re- solved anew’ to help Nelle by delivering the salad forks safely at their destination. As the trio reached the school grounds the good news spread abroad, and with one accord the young people shouted: “ ‘Ray for Cleohatra Brown !’ ” The following Afternoon Nelle, Ray, and Cleo started for the station in plenty of time for the 4:30 train. It was only a twenty-minute ride from their towm to the city and Cleo had her ticket and was so well attired that no one, unless her veil were to be lifted, could have sup- posed that it was other than Nelle Skene herself. “It’s going to rain”, observed Ray. “Just look at that black cloud”. And even as he spoke a couple of rain drops touched them. “You must have my raincoat, Cleo”, said Nelle. “We’ll go back for it; and if we hurry, we can still make the train”. They hurried back, changed coats, and rushed out to the station. They w’ere a few minutes early so they bade Cleo a 8 MAROON AND GRAY fond farewell, and left her with the final warning “not to lose grandmother’s salad forks”. Cleo paced back and forth a couple of times and, as the train puffed in, put her hand in the pocket for her ticket so she would have it ready. She reached down once, and then another time, shifted her salad forks to the other arm, and reached in the other pocket in horrified haste. Then she remembered she had left it in the pocket of the other coat. Cleo was not the girl to hesitate, how- ever, so she quickly took the money that had been given her to pay for her ride back on the trolley, and rushed in the station to get another ticket. This she procured, just as she heard the conductor outside call “All aboard”. “Run, run!” shouted the ticket seller, and Cleo did not hesitate. Just as the train was moving slowly, she reached it and would have climbed aboard had she not suddenly missed her salad forks. “Lawsy. Grandmother’s salad forks!” she exclaimed, much to the amazement of the conductor who was helping her aboard, and she fled back to the station again. There on the ledge of the ticket seller’s window was the box containing the precious salad forks. Snatching that up, she ran out again, but the train had disappeared around a bend. “Missed the train—the only train—and grandmother’s salad forks simply had to be at their destination by nine o’clock that evening”. Thus ran her thoughts as she stood there a couple of minutes, a picture of despair. Her melancholy reflections were inter- rupted by a commotion behind her, and turning, she beheld a portly old gentle- man gesticulating wildly in the direction of the departed train and talking in no gentle terms to her brother, Mose, who was a station porter. “Get a racer, 1 say, get a racer!” the old man commanded. “I must go to the city. Why do you stand there like a-a-?” Cleo did not hear the rest. She was be- ginning to have hope. If she could in- duce the old man to take her with him— then she heard Mose answer: “In five minutes’ time, sah, the cah’ll be waitin’ for yuh at de odder side of the depot, sah”, and Mose hastened away. Cleo hurried after him without attracting the attention of the old man who was still raging. “Mose!” she called and raised her veil. Mose turned and stared. “Cleo!” he managed to gasp. “You must help me, Mose”, said Cleo, and hastily outlined her difficulties and the only possible solution. “But he won’t take yuh”, said Mose. “Don yuh know? He’s dat big manufac- turin’ man, Mistah Caldwell. He’ll not take no niggah gal wid him”. “Then I’ll go without him knowin’ it” declared Cleo. ‘Tse jes’ gotta, Mose. Think of them grandmother salad forks”. During periods of excitement Cleo paid more heed to meaning than grammar. Mose scratched his curly head and said nothing. Cleo did not stand idle. Is that the racer.''” she asked pointing to a long, low car standing a short dist- ance away, the driver asleep in his seat. “Ye])”, said Mose, without showing any inclination to move. Cleo stealthily approached the car and climbed up on the back part without mak- ing any noise. She beckoned to Mose and he sidled up to her in a terrified man- ner, following her whispered directions, he adjusted the top so that it partially covered her and then fixed the robe about MAROON AND GRAY 9 her in such a way that she looked like a |;,rge bundle. Mose had hardly tucked in the last corner of the robe before the old man made his appearance and, taking out his watch for the hundredth time, angrily demanded if he could soon start for the city. Mose gave one nervous look at the seemingly inert bundle on the rear of the car, then he awoke the sleeping chauffeur, the pompous old gentleman took his seat, and off they went. It was a queer ride. I he chauffeur was still too sleepy to pick out the smooth portions of the road, the old man mutter- ed to himself continuously, and Cleo gasping for breath, clutching the top with one hand to keep herself from sliding off and with the other tightly grasping the precious salad forks, did not obtain much enjoyment from the situation. On they went, the road, seeming to Cleo, to get rougher and rougher. A number of miles were traversed in this manner before Cleo’s robe showed any signs of parting company with Cleo. In vain did she at- tempt to hold it at the imminent risk of rolling off, and at last the whole thing de- tached itself and sailed off into space, and with it—horror of horrors—went Cleo s hat and veil! Concealment was no longer possible. At every bump she was lurch- ed a trifle nearer the edge, until at her wit’s end, the extremity of her misery. Cleo lost all patience and shouted: “Bloody Murdah, mistah! Help me quick!’’ The portlv old gentleman started up in amazement, and, beholding a terror-strick- en black face so close to his own, seemed on the point of quitting the car immediate- ly. The chauffeur also seemed undecided whether to swerve into the fence at the side of the road or to make the car go all the faster in the hope of fleeing from this strange phenomenon. Suddenly Mr. Cald- well found himself holding a box with this peremptory command: “Hold ’em, sah—I can’t another min- ute; I’se coming over—stop there, you (this to the chauffeur)—l‘se coinin’ ovah”. Phis last information seemed to be re- ceived with some alarm from both men, but the chauffeur stopped the car and Cleo proceeded “over the top’’ in a man- ner somewhat more gymnastical than dig- nified. A couple of seconds more and Cleo found herself between the Honorable Mr. Caldwell and the chauffeur, both evident- ly trying to push out the opposite sides of the car. “I will take grandmother’s salad forks now”, said Cleo sweetly, and relieved the old man of the box which he had been clasping very gingerly. Then, addressing the chauffeur as haughtily as though she were Nelle Skene herself, she said: “You may start now. I am ready”. The chauffeur saw nothing better to do so he obeyed her instructions and on they went. Cleo turned to Mr. Caldwell, “Don’t be frightened, sir , she smiled affably and spoke in her best manner. “You are in no more hurry to get to the city than I am. 1 missed the train, so I was forced to impose upon your hospitality”. “So?” Mr. Caldwell seemed interested, “And what may be your particular rush?” A gleam of sly humor crept into her large, black eyes as she haughtily lifted her head and said : “I am going to Madam Skene’s reception”. The pompous one was duly impressed: “W hat a coincidence”, he said. “ I hat is also my destination. A waitress, I pre- sume r And thus it was that Cleo began an ex- planation and soon Mr. Caldwell was ac- 10 MAROON AND GRAY quainted with all the particulars regard- ing “grandmother’s salad forks”. Since Nelle’s hat and veil had been blown away it was impossible for Cleo to follow the original plan and impersonate Nelle. Cleo did not know what to do and in try- to help her out of her difficulties, the old man forgot his own troubles and soon they were busily making a plan for future movements. By the time they arrived at their destination the plan was complete and both were entirely happy. As Mr. Caldwell stepped from the car Cleo gave him the box of forks and enjoined him to be exceedingly careful of them. This he readily agreed to do and then ordered the chauffeur to take Miss Cleo back to her home. A short time later Cleo entered the ball room in her own home town and was im- mediately the center of an excited audi- ence. A dozen questions were asked at once, but through it all Cleo retained her serene demeanor and replied to only that of Nelle. “Did you do it, Cleo? asked Nelle anxiously. “Yes”, said Cleo innocently, 1 did it”. And that was all she told of the affair. Some time later when Grandmother Skene was visiting Mrs. Skene she re- marked upon the success of the reception and said: “Thank Nelle for the trouble with the salad forks. Mr. Caldwell, my most distinguished guest, said they were sent with him—by the by, my dear, Mr. Caldwell made the most amazing state- ment that night”. “Really”, exclaimed Mrs. Skene, eager for a bit of gossip. “What was it?” “He said”, continued Mrs. Skene, Sr., in her most impressive style, “he said that he had taken a particular fancy to a little negro girl—negro, mind you—named Cleohatra think of it Cleohatra—and he is going to send her to college!” L. N„ ’19. GHOSTS ON THE FARM ELL, Momsie, I’ve dont it”. “Done what, Babs?” asked Momsie, as she busily knit- ted at her socks. “You sure- ly didn’t run into the garage door again with Daddy’s new roadster?” “Oh, no!” replied Barbara, as she seat- ed herself in' the arm chair opposite her mother and gave a sigh of relief. “I’ve enlisted. I’m going to be a farmerette this summer and develop a coat of tan and some muscle, so that when brother Bob comes home from France he can’t say that I didn’t do my part. I’m tired of after- noon teas, receptions and dances, and those will constitute most of the sum- mer’s program. Geraldine Martin and I decided that we would do something worth while this summer, and Gerdy has an uncle who owns a large truck farm in Maryland, and he said that we could come there. He had two sons, but both are in France now, and he really needs help, so we’re going”. But, Barbara, you have never done any hard work and you couldn’t endure farm toil”, replied Mrs. Harding. “Mother, can’t I get used to it? Other girls do, and so can 1”, Babs definitely responded. e will see what Daddy says about MAROON AND GRAY 11 it. Run along and get ready for dinner now”. At five o’clock Barbara entered the liv- ing room where her father and mother were engaged in a deep conversation”. “Hello, little farmerette”, called out Daddy, as Babs entered the room. “Oh, Daddy, you will allow me to go, won’t you? I’m strong and healthy, so why couldn’t I work on a farm?” “Tell me more about your plans, Girlie, and then we’ll decide”, said Daddy, as Babs perched herself on the arm of Mr. Harding’s chair. When the dinner bell sounded Barbara had succeeded in winning her father over to her way of thinking. Mr. Harding believed that girls were meant for nature and that they should be butterflies Hitting about in the fields and meadows and not always flitting about the reception rooms and dance halls. He realized that truck farming under the supervision of Gerdy’s uncle would not harm his daughter, and it would at the same time be a good ex- perience for her. He was proud to think that she was willing to give up her sum- mer pleasures and respond to what she felt was her duty. If only more of her friends would respond in the same way, Mr. Harding felt that the cosmetic deal- ers would have fewer customers when Nature could use her painter hand. «� � � Two weeks later Babs and Gerdy were sitting on the porch steps of their new abode. “Babs”, began Gerdy, “This is the night of Mable North's big dance at home, isn't it? Don’t you wish we could be therei “No, I don’t”, replied Babs somewhat peevishly. “I would just as soon sit here on the steps and listen to the rippling of the little brook and watch the moon- beams dance over the water. I think we’re mighty lucky to have this exper- ience of farm life, and 1 wouldn’t doubt but that the majority of our crowd envy _ � � US . “Perhaps they do”. Oh yes, Uncle said we could invite the crowd down for a week-end sometime. They could make the trip in automobiles and have a joyful time”. “Let’s not invite them until we know a little more about trucking. I want to be able to tell the different kinds of vege- tables apart and show them that we real- ly are good farmerettes. Today your uncle told me to pick the peas and when I got out to the garden I wasn’t sure which were the peas and which were the beans. So I broke open the little case . “You mean pod”, interrupted Gerdy. “Oh yes—pod; well, I broke open the pod of one and then it just dawned upon me that peas were little round green things, so I hunted the garden over to find some plant with little green balls growing on it. Your uncle thought that 1 had lost something and came out to see if he could help me. He thought it was a good joke when I told him what I was looking for—but I know better now . “Be still, Babs. I thought I saw a black shadow over by that large elm tree”, whispered Gerdy. “I overhead my aunt telling uncle Joe that she though she heard someone prowling about the last two nights. Uncle Joe told her not to speak so loudly because if the girls heard about it they would want to leave. I slipped away because I thought I had heard enough”. “Oh, Gerdy, isn’t that fine now, we can be detectives as well as farmerettes. Let’s hide in the hammock and see what happens, because I do believe that shadow belongs to a living being. The house is all dark; I suppose your uncle and aunt 12 MAROON AND GRAY have retired, so we’ll have the pleasure of greeting the visitor”, said Babs, as she crawled into the hammock. Be still Gerdy. The shadow is moving —it’s a man! He looks as if he has over- alls on, and Gerdy, 1 do believe it is neigh- bor Jones’ hired man. What do you sup- pose he wants?” asked Babs. ‘T wouldn’t doubt but that he is com- ing over to sing love ballads to Miss Bar- bara , answered Gerdy in a relieved voice. “Nonsense! What do you mean?” hen 1 was at the post office the other day some of the men were teasing him about dreaming of the light-haired farmerette, and it must be you, for my hair is dark brown. 1 wouldn’t doubt but that it was he whom my aunt heard”, whispered Gerdy. e'll fix him so he won’t dream about her any more. Gerdy, you slip through the open window on the side porch and get two sheets that your aunt just washed today. They are on the top of the clothes basket in the corner of the kitchen. Be quick and I’ll watch here”, finished Babs. In a few seconds Gerdy was back with the sheets. By this time the “dreamer” was within a few rods of the porch steps, so that the girls were compelled to lie quietly in the hammock and wait for the next move. Slowly and quietly the man walked around the front of the house and at the side the footsteps ceased. The girls conjectured that he had stopped be- neath their bedroom window. Now was the time for their work. Quickly they draped the sheets around themselves and stealthly slipped from the porch to the op- posite side of the house from which their guest was located. “Now Gerdy, you slip over by the elm tree and hide behind it until I send my friend over in that direction. He will likely come in a hurry, so be on the look- out. I hen if he seems inclined to hang around, which I doubt very much, make your appearance and follow after him un- til he is off the premises. Now hurry, and be ready for action”. With these words Babs started around the house. It seemed only a few seconds to Gerdy until she heard a muffled scream, and then a dark figure, followed by Babs in white, darted towards the elm tree. Gerdy was ready for action, and as she heard the panting near her. she made her appear- ance. Another groan of fright and the poor hired man made another dash for safety. The girls now heard sounds with- in the house, and glancing at the fleeing man and deciding that he did not mean to stop until he reached his farmhouse, they hurried back to the porch where the uncle and aunt were standing wrapped up in bed clothes. Babs was the first to regain her breath, and she gasped, “ e—thought we’d—have —some fun, but didn’t mean to frighten you”. Gerdy then came to the rescue and explained the affair. The uncle and aunt, after hearing the story, looked serious. Uncle Joe was the first to speak. “I’m afraid, girlies, you have had too much fun. I don’t like to have ghosts around my place, and if you are going to attract all the young men around here to come prowling around my house at night as you have in this case, I would suggest that you give up being farmerettes. Neither of you are much good as farmers and I can’t afford to waste my time show- ing you how to do things. Babs looked at Gerdy and Gerdy looked at Babs until their auntie said, “Let’s go to bed now and we’ll talk about it in the morning”. The procession slowly climbed the stairs to their rooms. When the girls were MAROON AND GRAY 13 again themselves, they looked at each other in amazement. “Well, what will we do?” asked Babs; 1 won’t go home and tell the folks that we weren’t a success”. “Neither will 1”, responded Gerdy. “Something will happen to help us, so let us go to bed and perhaps uncle will feel differently about us tomorrow”. At six thirty the girls appeared at the breakfast table in their garden clothes. Nothing was said about the episode of the night before, so the girls went out with Uncle Joe to the garden plots. At ten thirty he told the girls to go for the mail and perhaps they had better send a card to their parents telling them that they in- tended to come home. “I guess Uncle Joe didn’t change his mind”, said Gerdy, as they walked toward the village post office. “No, and I suppose we may as well go home and face the rebukes of our friends. My, but I hate to do it!” exclaimed Babs. When the girls arrived at the post of- fice they heard excited voices within and also this exclamation, “Hush ! The ghosts are coming”. “Oh, Babs, they know about our fun”, whispered Gerdy. “I won’t go inside”. “I will”, said Babs, walking defiantly to the office window. In a moment she appeared with a letter. “Oh, Gerdy, I’ve got a letter from home”, and Babs hastily tore open the envelope and glanced at the written page, then read aloud as follow's: Dearest Daughter: Father has to make a business trip out west and will be gone for a month. He suggests that we accompany him and take the car. He says that you can get tan- ned driving the car and also get muscle fixing blowouts, so wouldn’t you like to come home? Babs stopped. You were right Gerdy, something did happen”. R.

A., being of sound mind and memory, do hereby publish this our last Will and Testament. No doubt some articles we bequeath may seem small, but their actual value can be measured only by the joy, peace, content, misery, amusement, sport, enter- tainment, etc., they afforded certain members of the 1919 Class or the Faculty. Some of these gifts have been our best friends for only a few months, while others were born in our infancy four years ago. (lather near. then, all of you, and receive your bequests from our dying hands with our last wish, namely, that you make the same use of them as we did. We give and bequeath unto the insignificant members of the class of 1920 the row of seats commonly considered the rightful property of the Senior class; the aforesaid seats are to be NEXT to the eastern wall but not AGAINST it. Also all the regal privileges understood to go with the said seats, enumerated below ac- cording to their intrinsic value: First, the “Animalistic Tendencies”, usually thought of by Miss Buckhout to be the property of Ernest Royer, together with the parrot language and similar barn- yard noises. Second, the Physic’s apparatus, broken, lost, confiscated and otherwise dis- qualified, to be utilized in their futile search for the ever-forbidden fruits of that science. Third, to those students of Miss Jones’ hobby, namely, the gentle art of type- writing. the Seniors efficiency of placing the shields on the machines upon the un- expected appearance of the said member of the faculty. Fourth, to the girls of the 1920 class, the privilege of loafing in the library en- joyed by the present Senior girls. Fifth, to the Sophomores and brilliant upper classmen who may be exposed to Caesars’ Commentaries we give this warning: “BEWARE of Miss Buckhout’s long- ing, craving and capricious appetite for the acquirement of an additional volume of the same in English”. Sixth, to all succeeding classes, especially the 1920 class, we give the great re- sponsibility of always keeping the Maroon and Gray up to the high standard to which WE have raised it. M A RrO ON AND GRAY 15 Seventh, to our dear faculty, for their future use and perusal, all useful bits of knowledge and otherwise with which we may have enlightened them during our four (?) years’ association with fruitful imaginations. We also wish to dispose of the following educational elements: 1. To James Rupp, Ivan Erb’s privilege of paying weekly visits to our school. 2. lo Mary Reno Frear, the privilege of utilizing McDowell’s renowned ob- servation course. .V lo I.uther Krebs, Ellen Hassel’s role as player in chapel. 4. 1 o Joseph Neff, Ross Edmiston s business-like manner of conducting things in general around S. C. H. S. 5. To Ronald Robinson, “King” McDonnell’s talent as a “lady killer”. ( . To Dean Kennedy and Russell Tressler, Helen Woodruff’s ability to read Cicero. 7. To Helen Musser, Ernest Harper’s whimsical laugh. 8. To the 1920 Class, our ability to sing in chapel—may they bring out the same mesmeric harmony that we did. i 9. Io all the boys in S. C. H. S., Dewey Krumrine’s promptness in paying athletic dues. 10. To the lower classes, George Frear’s brains—do not scramble as there is no demand for it. 11. To Cornelius Houtz, Ernest Royer’s duty as monitor and chief adviser to his majesty, W. O. Heckman. 12. To Miss Buckhout, the unique sum of 13 cents to be used for the purchase of Victor Record No. 64360, namely, “In the Gloaming”. This record to be played in the rest room by the aforesaid party continuously from nine to nine fifteen A. M., so she need no longer endure the harmonious harmony of the angel-like voices of future Senior Classes. 13. To Clifton Pearce, Ernest Royer’s privilege to walk all over the building at any time of day or night. 14. To the 1920 Class, our dignity, for their unsophisticated cerebral jelatine would be at a loss as to how to fill our former places without it. In witness whereof, we hereunto set our hand and seal this sixth day of June, in the year of Our Lord Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen. The Class of Nineteen Nineteen. 16 MAROON AND GRAY THE JUNIOR PROM HE JUNIOR PROM, which was held in the I. O. O. F. Hall on the evening of April 16th, was one of the most enjoyable events of the school term. The greater part of the evening was spent in dancing and play- ing games. A sthort time was given to speeches by several members of the School Board, teachers, and also some of the boys and girls of our class. How- ever, the best part of the entertainment was the presentation of gifts to each member of the Senior Class. The verses which accompanied the gifts were com- posed by Miss Gallagher. The Class of 1919 congratulates the Junior Class upon their successful en- tertainment and feel sure that you will be rewarded by the members of the suc- ceeding class.

A trS E arc graduating from High School, with all our lives be- fore us, full of hopes and as- pirations, and each of us with a great resolution to make his life a success. We may go to college and we may not, but that determ- ination to be successful still remains. For some of us our goals are quite clear- ly and definitely determined, but in many of us success is an obscure thing, some- thing that many desire, but few obtain. Perhaps it would be well if we think a moment what the word success” real- ly means. Just what is it? Does it mean fame? Edgar Allen Poe and Robert Burns both obtained fame; but can we call the life of either a success? Countless other examples could be mentioned such as Lord Byron; yes, and even Xapoleon; though, of course, people would differ in their opinions concerning the life of this great general. No; a life cannot be term- ed wholly successful if fame is the only incentive for labor and fame is its only result. Is it wealth? Many people start out in life with the primary desire in their minds to earn a fortune. But the people who cultivate this sordid desire find it a passion that never can be quite gratified ; it always desires more and more, until the mind forgets all the finer sentiments of life in the one great overwhelming lust for gold. It is true we read a great deal about our wealthiest men in the news- papers, but how much do you think will be known of them a couple hundred years from now? Nothing—if their wealth is the only thing that has brought them to the attention of the public. How much do we read in history about the rich men who must have lived years ago? At this moment, Shakespeare's character of Shylock comes to my mind and who would be envious of him? No; then wealth does not constitute success. Can it be social position? But this ques- tion needs no answer. We all have heard of the failures of the petted and pamper- ed rich. That does not mean to say that those of a high social standing never at- tain success, for on the contrary, many have done so. Nevertheless, a social posi- tion is always waiting to welcome the successful, while success never waits for anyone; rich and poor alike have an equal chance to toil and win the prize. Per- haps someone may disagree at this point and say that a man of high birth has such a pull” with the big men in the indust- rial field that success figuratively jumps at him and he has nothing to do but grasp it with his hand and be gently pulled” along. But success, as I think of it, gives every one of us an equal opportunity. It is a word that includes more than any one of these. A man may be successful and yet have none of the things stated above. We have heard of Florence Nightingale, have we not? Was she a sucess? Indeed, she was. Xo Englishman can speak her name except in reverence. Xo soldier en- joying the comforts supplied him by the 20 MAROON AND GRAY Red Cross during the recent World War can give enough thanks to that first woman who endured all the hardships of the Crimean War for her fellow man’s sake. And, taking an example that we have studied from childhood on, recall to your mind Abraham Lincoln. It is say- ing a great deal for a man when, as we can say of Lincoln, at his death even his enemies wept for him. These two people did only what seemed to them their duty and yet (and here is a very essential point) were never will- ing to believe that they had done too much, so they worked on. 1 heir best was not quite good enough and they worked to make it better. And because they faithfully continued doing those tasks which they knew to be right and good, fame, honor, wealth, and all else came to them. And the last exhortation we can give to 1919 is only this, but it means a great deal. Select sound principles; test them carefully; then, remain steadfast to them ; work for them; weave your life about them, and all other things will come to you. Then men will say of you “Truly, his life was a success”. Another school year is drawing to a close and soon the classes will experience “moving up” day. New responsibilities will be thrust upon the present lower classes, but we feel sure that they are cap- able of bearing them. On account of war conditions, as a school, perhaps we ha c not been able to accomplish as much as in previous years, but it is our hope that the school term next year will not be so handicapped. The responsibility of pub- lishing the Maroon and Gray will rest largely upon the present Junior class. Of course the support of the other classes will be expected, but do not all the classes look up to the Seniors as leaders.’' 'I o have a successful paper, however, every member in the High School must give it his loyal support. We are familiar with the saving that “united we stand, divided we fall”, and we are confident that it is the desire of all interested that the Ma- roon and Gray shall stand, so let us be willing to work earnestly when the school doors are opened again for another year’s work. We are all anxious for vacation days and especially those who have not been taking a vacation during the year. In every school there are always a few who are indifferent as to doing good work. Some think that to go through High School means only getting through on a passing grade. Why not however let it be the aim of every pupil to do his best and then at the end of the school year he will feel that he has accomplished some- thing and fair grades will be a proof of it. Our High School work is simply a step- ping stone into our future and if we are willing to take a firm and steady step now we will be sure to have a good foundation on which to build our future. We hear so much about High School Spirit”. Do we all possess that quality? If we do not we should, if we expect to have a successful High School career. Everyone should be interested in at least one of the different activities. The boys, whether they intend to play football and baseball or not, should at least show their interest by joining the Athletic Associa- tion. This year is the first year the girls MAROON AND GRAY 21 have had athletics and we are confident that the loyal support from every girl will keep alive this phase of activities for them. In every High School there are pupils talented in music and why should they not take an interest in the High School orchestra? The Y. Y. C. A. is also an organization that can accomplish much if the girls show their interest and support it. There is a chance for every member in High School to help in some- way. There are additional ways of in- creasing our education other than from books and what better way can we ac- quire this knowledge than by working together and associating with each other in school activities? Each year brings us new opportunities of service and let it be the resolve of every pupil in High School to take advantage of these opportunities and to make the most of his High School career. 22 MAROON AND GRAY John Cole “Colie”, “M.D.” College Prep. Course Football (4), Baseball (2), (3), (4) “Colie’s activities lie along two lines—eating and sleep- ing. As a mile-a-minute speaker he is never very successful, but he has risen pretty high along oratorical lines. Before “Colie” discovered his ability in elocution he decided to be an M.D. (Mule Driver), but now he intends to become a preacher. He already has had experience since he has been superinten- dent of the Lutheran Sunday School. Whenever Colie” is called upon to write an essay he is sure to choose a very deep and philosophic topic which is beyond the grasp of most of our minds. “Slow to speak, and slow to act, His wit is ne’ertheless a fact”. Helen Cleaver “Clever”, “Grandma” College Prep. Course M. G. (4), Librarian (4), O. 1. M. M. S. A profusion of brown curls, big blue eyes and a deter- mined little carriage are the first characteristics that we notice when we first see Helen coming towards us. She can form just as strong friendships as she can form aversions to indi- viduals, and that is saying a great deal. Helen is “caressingly- inclined (?)” (you are referred to Clay and Tommy for par- ticulars) to only the select few—names not given. Neverthe- less, Helen is a faithful and sincere friend and is also one of the best students in the class (?). Although she has been with us for only one year, she has shown great High School spirit and we are sure that she will make good in the world, for pluck and perseverance are two of her most noticeable qualities. “For if she will, she will, you may depend on’t; And if she won’t, she won’t, and there’s an end on’t”. Ralph Dale “Shorty” College Prep. Course “Shorty” entered our class with a good reputation and he has certainly lived up to it since then. He left Boalsburg High to come to a real institution. His pride seems to lie in the fact that he is not a lady-fusser. “Shorty” is naturally a busy man and spends his time studying and tinkering with his “tin lizzy”. “He has common sense in a way that’s uncommon” MAROON AND GRAY 23 Ross Edmiston “Essen”, “Whistle”, Billikens” College Prep. Course Football (3, (4), M. G. Staff (3), (4), Vice President A. A. (4) H. S. Play (3), (4), Football Captain (4), Track (2), Star Literary Society. A whoop—a bang—a crash—and a couple vociferous out- bursts, which vary with the time and place, announce the arrival of Ross. He is perhaps the best example of perpetual motion that the 1919 class can contribute to the world. Among his accomplishments are those of comedian, football player, jazzer, and tailor. Ross is a champion arguer—he has never been convinced yet. (Ask Miss Buckhout). He is always optimistic, and is a friend worth having. Keep it up, Ross! 19 is sure you’ll make good ! “He draweth out the thread of his verbosity Finer than the staple of his argument”. Ivan Erb College Prep. Course V. W. C. A. (3), (4), O. I. M. M. S. Ivan might well be termed the class visitor. Although her stays with us for the last four years have been at frequent intervals, we all would be sorry if we did not see our dainty little Ivan among us. Ivan’s size does not interfere with her independence or her desirability to us. The same little fingers that write up physics experiments so industriously can draw— oh. just see for yourself! It might also be mentioned that Ivan is evidently very desirable to—(that's a secret)—as is proved by a certain little pin she wears. Congratulations, Ivan! '19 wishes you all kinds of happiness always! “Neat as a pin and blooming as a rose . George Lewis Frear “Gorgo” College Prep. Course George has been upholding 1919’s flaming torch of bril- liancy for the last four years. In classes, he refuses to recite only when he has a cold. 1919’s only worry for George’s future is that we are afraid he will never allow his brilliancy to shine upon the fair sex. “Do not let thy youth decay in the fossil-like pages of deep literature, son”. Take sage ’19’s advice and “laugh” and be merry while ye may!” George Lewis is a brave little bov except when it comes to bears—take a gun next time, Gorgo! “And still they gazed, and still the wonder grew, That one small head could carry all he knew”. 24 MAROON AND GRAY James Foster “Jimmy” College Prep. Course Orchestra (1), (2), (3), Gamma Phi. “Jimmy glided into the '19 class as quietly as he glides about on a ballroom floor. We mention the lattter because, even if Jimmy is so quiet and inconspicuous, his presence is nevertheless as indespensable to a party as the music for a dance. He has also proved that red lights are not always danger signals; in fact, to say the contrary, we nearly always see Jimmy following in the wake of one. He is an industrious student, has a fine sense of humor, and that indefinable some- thing about him that makes him friends wherever he goes. “He is complete in feature and in mind. With all good grace to grace a gentleman”. Marian Harter “Marny”, “Cutie” College Prep. Course Class Secretary (1), O. I. M. M. S. Marian forms a combination that is rarely found in one individual—brilliancy, beauty and business. Her ambition is to become a social secretary, and we are sure nothing could ever interfere with her plans unless it might be cupid. He is a busy little man where “Marney” is concerned. Then, too, she is quite accomplished on the ukelele, and as for dancing—words could not express it. Xo wonder she is popular. Marian is a good “pal’ and socially inclined as has been shown by her frequent appearance at the Old Maids’ rendezvous in the library every afternoon. We are sure that she will be a success in what- ever she may do, and wherever she goes she will take the best wishes of the class with her. “Fair, kind and true, have often lived alone, Which three, till now, never kept seat in one”. Calvin Graham “Cal”, “Sidney” College Prep. Course Baseball (1), (2), (3), Maroon and Gray (2). When you see a gentleman, not very tall, not exceed- ingly small, wearing an overcoat when the south breezes blow, and with an “Ah-why-must-life-all-labor-be” attitude, coming up the hill, you can be sure that it is Cal. He has a faculty for “losing” books which has developed into a regular mania as the years have progressed and we fear that many were taken from the world by foul means. He has left numerous “foot- prints on the sands of time” in the High School which we are doubtful whether the succeeding classes will appreciate or dep- reciate. Cal has a sweet tooth and has always been generous to the similarly afflicted ones about him. “How doth the little busy bee” Improve each shining hour?” MAROON AND GRAY 25 Easter Gardner “Daddy” College Prep. Course Orchestra (1), (2), (3), (4), Football (4), Maroon and Gray (4), Quartette. This boy with blue eyes and wavy hair is quite a social lion. His musical voice has charmed the ears of many, and a certain young lady in particular. Easter has the ability to say the right thing at the right time and in the right way. When it comes to studies he never lets them interfere with his work (?). although he is quite clever (?) on the keyboard of his typewriter. He also put up a good fight on the football field and is now one of 1919’s letter-men. Wherever we place Faster he seems to fit in, for he is quite talented along musical, dramatic, literary and social lines. We are sure of a suc- cessful future for you. Easter. Such a diplomat has never been known to fail. “A mind serene for contemplation” Ellen Hassel “Pat”, “L-N” College Prep. Course Maroon and Gray (3), (4), Vice President Class (2), High School Play (2), Y. W. C. A., Orchestra (4), O. 1. M. M. S. There is no doubt but that “Pat” is one of our most talent- ed members. She has not only been our accompanist in chapel for four years, but has been one of the most loyal supporters of the Maroon and Gray. She also has considerable literary ability and several times articles of her writing have appeared in the county papers. Some day we expect to see Ellen’s name among the famous women of the world. We are sure that her smile alone would bring her success wherever she goes, and. judging from her popularity, there is no danger of her becom- ing a “superannuated spinister”. “She is pretty to walk with, witty to talk with, And pleasant to think on, too”. Ebert Hollobaugh “Holly” College Prep. Course Football (4), Baseball (3), (4). Perhaps you have seen this handsome young man taking a party of swell dames for a joy-ride in his “flivver”, since this is a rather frequent occurrence. 1 hree years ago he was one of the women-haters of the class, but in some unknown way he was reformed and now he is a champion lady-fusser. He rivals even Cal Graham. Although he does not look like a professional gamester, it is said that he is quite a card “Shark”, and that at least three nights of the week will find him playing a game of Five Hundred or Horse and Pepper. “Holly is a good student and is sure to make a good farmer or a civil engi- neer. t “He was not for an age, but for all time . 26 MAROON AND GRAY Ernest Harper “Muzz”, “Amos” College Prep. Course Orchestra (1), Football (2), (3), (4), Class Reporter (3). Just a little man; a quick step, a Hashing brown eye, a fiery red necktie, and a package of pep-o-mint life savers— you couldn’t mistake—that’s “Muzz”. He is always in a hurry and always in love (although the object of his affections is sometimes obscure). He is forever turning a corner too quick- ly and making a collision, forever flirting with whomever is handy (and willing to help), and forever disgusted and being abused by the ladies. His laugh is quite original and can be heard, both on account of its intense volume and peculiarity, at least three blocks away. He sometimes gazes moodily off into space for a varying length of time, but altogether, is a good ad- dition to ’19 and we are glad to claim “Muzz” as one of the ’19 stars. “In arguing, too, we all do own his skill, For e’en though vanquished, he can argue still”. Mary Kidder “Kidder” College Prep. Course O. 1. M. M. S. It has only been the last year that '19 has been honored with this maiden’s presence, and now that we have her, we cannot help wondering how we ever got along without her. Mary is a thoroughly “good sport”. She has a highly develop- ed sense of humor, a couple of high-powered ears which she can manage as well as most girls manage crochet hooks, and a smile of good comradeship for everyone. Modifying the statement that was once heard fall from Mary’s lips, we will say that she has been a diplomat and an excellent contriver to manage her affairs if not by “hook”, certainly by “crook”; but we are sure Mary’s “crook” was pretty straight at that. “Oh, blest with temper whose unclouded ray Can make tomorrow cheerful as today”. Dewey Krumine “Lazy”, “Duke”, “Deucy” College Prep. Course Baseball (1), (2), (4), Football (3). Here we have a man who is an authority on anything from how to box to how to be an expert bricklayer. “Deucy’s favorite pastime is bicycle trading and he has been very suc- cessful at this. He claims the authorship of several note- worthy essays on “How I made a Fortune Selling Chewing Gum”, and “The Ostrich as a Beast of Burden”. Not long ago he desired to become a farmer but he has since changed his mind and intends to become, instead, the proprietor of a second-hand store. Whatever he does he will be at the front of the line. “A rare combination of intellect, talent, and a pleasing personality” MAROON AND GRAY 27 Jesse Guy Klinger “Wop College Prep. Course Baseball (2), (3), (4), Football (4). Sometimes we forget where Jesse belongs, whether in the Junior or the Senior row. If we may judge by where he is seen more frequently we would say that he is a Junior, for that class certainly holds some attraction for him. On the baseball field we find him distinguishing himself as a second-baseman. We expect Jesse to become a famous short-story writer in the future, for he has had considerable practice during his last year. We could sympathize with Jesse when the French sec- tions were changed, for that deprived him of one practice period. Jesse is a fine fellow and is liked by everyone. 1919 has great hopes for Jesse, and we are sure that he will always be a credit to the class. “And I oft have heard defended— ‘Little said is soonest mended’”. Ruth Kapp “Pal”, “Rufus” College Prep. Course Maroon and Gray (2), (3), (4), Sec’y Crescent Lit. Society (2), V W C A Pres. (4), Vice Pres. Class (1), Class 1 reas. (3), (4). O. 1. M. M. S. . Pat and “Pal” are inseparable friends. Ruth is a friend of all a good student, and an enthusiastic leader in all school activities. Her work on the staff of the Maroon and Gray is especially to be commended, also her fine achievements as president of the Y. W. C. A. Ruth has a charm that is all her own which seems to attract all with whom she conies in contact, whether boys or girls. It has also been proved that this magnetism in her personality is able to hold an individual even if he is at a great distance from her; yes, even as far as Iowa! Besides this, as Ellen says, she has a rare sense of humor at times. We all have the greatest confidence in the futures of “Pal” and “Pat” whatever they may do. “None knew thee but to love thee, Nor named thee but to praise . Milton McDowell “Mickey”, “Innocence” College Prep. Course Football (4), Class Pres. (1), Gamma Phi Milton has always been a good scholar. Dependable, studious, and with lots of real High School spirit, '19 is justly proud of him. It has been only during the last year, however, that “Mickey” suddenly emerged from a sort of seclusion from general society in which he formerly had enveloped himself, and now bids fair to become quite a social lion. Rumor has it that he has been somewhat interested in “vamps ; indeed so much so, that he made a couple of experiments along that line. We must not censure him too severely, however, for curi- osity is characteristic of youth and “experience is a good teacher”. We are quite sure that Milton, with his persever- ance, good humor and “pep”, will make a success of his lite. “A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing . 28 MAROON AND GRAY William McDonnell “King”, “Rill” College Prep. Course Class Reporter (1). “King” is one of the slow but steady members of 19. Just a moment for meditation, and then Bill is ready. But when it comes to a joke, Bill is not slow. 'This young man has a rare sense of humor. Bill has at frequent times been an ardent ad- mirer of the fair sex, but since his affections have been unre- turned, he has endeavored to console himself with checkers. There is a story told of bygone days when “King Bill” went a courting on horseback—but perhaps that is telling tales out of school. He has three things that seem to be the bane of his existence, his hands, his feet, and his handkerchief. But all great men have their eccentricities—think of Samuel Johnson —and “King” should not be censured too severely for his. We are sure that ’19’s standards will always be upheld by William. “He is never less at leisure than when at leisure” Elizabeth Lowry “Betty”, “Lizzy” College Prep. Course Vice Pres. Class (2), Orchestra (1), (3), Y. W. C. A. Treas (2), Basketball, O. I. M. M. S., Maroon and Gray (2). Lizzy has taken the High School course in three years e have always noticed that she showed a special regard for the 19 class, and we suspect there is more than one reason for her desire to graduate with us. Betty’s career in High has been a very eventful one for all persons concerned. Many have been the hearts laid at her shrine and broken (?) at her whim, so she has acquired the distinction of being quite a vamp . Nevertheless Betty can do just about everything expected of a real up-to-date American girl—dancing, driving a car, playing basketball, the ukelele, violin, and piano are only a few of the things for which she is noted. She is a jolly friend to have; ’19 is glad to welcome her, but we fear a couple of lower classmen next year will find High School life rather drab without Betty. “Smiling, frowning, evermore, Thou art perfect in love-lore”. Chester Rupp “Chet”, “Rupp” College Prep. Course Orchestra (1), (2), (4), Boys’ Quartette. Hail! the conquering hero comes! Napoleon could not have a finer mien nor can Caruso even be compared with Chester. He can act, sing, play the violin, pray, give valu- able suggestions on any subject, and—talk fluently and copi- ously. That is but one side of Chester .On the other hand. “Chet” is a pretty good “sport”; he is a good worker and a good student. During his four years with us we have known him as dependable, practical, and with plenty of High School spirit. Anything that Chester takes up, you can be sure he will carry through. Here’s best wishes to you, “Chet”! Con- tinue with such policies and you are sure to be successful. “Knowledge is proud that he has learned so much; Wisdom is humble that he knows no more”. MAROON AND GRAY 29 Ernest Royer “Amos”, “Spider”, “Borax”, “Tiny”, “Lankey” College Prep. Course Baseball (1), (2), (3), (4), Football (3), (4), Class Pres. (3), (4), Maroon and Cray (4), Baseball Capt. (4), Pres. A. A. (4), Gamma Phi. Ernest has made a record for himself during his four years in High School that any young man would be proud of, and we are glad that he is a '19 man. hether in school or on the athletic field, Ernest has always stood for fair play. It has onlj’ been during the last year that Ernest really made the decision to whirl a bit in the social whirl. He is learning to trip the light fantastic toe with a rapidity that would aston- ish his Physics teacher. He is also especially celebrated for blowing—wait a moment. e must add—blowing his horn in the Pine Grove Band. Ernest is a good all-round boy and he likes a good all-round girl, although, we doubt if he has ever got all ’round her yet. Having brought out most of the phases in his character we conclude with thanks for all he has done for ’19 and the old High, and the earnest hope that his whole life may be as crowned with success as his career as a High School pupil. “The world knows little of its greatest men”. Margaret Ralston Commercial Course This little lady might well be likened to one of the pretty violets that grow in her father’s fields. She is modest and mild in all her actions and bright and industrious in her school work. But through all four years of her tarrying with us she has never been so lucky as to obtain a nickname. She has grown very necessary to us (especially to a certain young man in our midst) and we are sure that Margaret will always be a credit to 1919. “Slight the object but not the praise”. Samuel Ross “Sam” College Prep. Course Baseball (4), Football (4). Sam was originally one of the stars of the 1918 class who early in his Senior year went west to do war work. When Sani heard of the great doings of the '19 class, he decided to cast his lot with us. We cannot help but admire his good taste for doing this. We were in great need of a fellow like Sam since we had no baseball pitcher and he was capable of filling the position to a “T”. Sam has but one weak point (so they say) and that is found in the fact that he seems to spend more of his time in Lernont than in his own home town, Lin- den Hall. “They that govern the most make the least noise”. 30 MAROON AND GRAY Jesse Sarson “Jess” College Prep. Course Football (1), (2), (3). Jesse is a man with a mind and school spirit as large in proportion as himself. There is just one thing that he ad- mires more than the Junior Class and that is the Senior Class. We think that some day Jesse will be another Gallilco or some other great scientist, since he has shown such a great tendency to play and experiment with the Physics laboratory equipment. Sometimes we are inclined to think that he swallowed the com- pass, that kept us from laboratory work for a whole week, in order to see the effect of the experiment. It is needless to mention the fact that Jesse is a bright student since he was able to complete his High School course in three years. “A rare compound of oddity, frolic, and fun, Who relished a joke and rejoiced in a pun . Lois Pearce College Prep. Course This little girl has been with us only a short time, but when she came to town she could observe with unprejudiced eyes the superiority of ’19 to the other classes, and therefore she attached herself to us. She is indeed welcome—for her cheery smile and the briskness shown in all her actions, are qualities that no class could overlook. That we have noticed so much good in a young lady during so short a time is evi- dence enough for what she really must be if we knew her better. We are sorry that she could not be with us all four years, but we welcome her to the graduation. “F.’en the slight harebell raised its head, Elastic from her airy tread”.

He can even spell “surprise” with five letters and drive a team of horses. His name will be in “Who’s Who” some day if he will honor them by permitting it. Taylor’s ambition is to become a scientific farmer and raise cabbage and chickens. But it really makes no difference what he will finally decide to do, for he is a good, steady worker and is sure to accomplish whatever he undertakes. Optimism is his strong point, and '19 would not be complete without Taylor and his smile. “Life is a jest, and all things show it; I thought so once, and now I know it”.

'19 was glad to welcome this young man into our midst last year not only on account of his pleasant personality, bijt because he is a good team-worker and has plenty of that greatly needed quality “Pep”. Ham is a fellow whom anyone would be glad to claim as a friend for he is always willing and ready to render assistance where it is needed. Also, it might be added, at times was ready to obtain assistance where it was sorely needed. Further information can be obtained from a girl with curls. He sometimes is quite musically inspired, as is proved by the harmonious sounds that issue from—oh, whatever he chooses to play upon. He is especially attracted to the ballroom but whether it is the fair sex or the music that acts as the magnet, only Hammond can say. “And the best of all ways to lengthen our days, Is to steal a few hours from our nights, my dear .

This bright young gentleman came to us in his Junior year. He received his early education at the Shingletown Academy. He soon made a name for himself as an expert penny-matcher and a crack joker. He is noted for his usual greeting, “Where is that two cents you owe me?” Never- theless “Scrunt” is a fine fellow and is to be complimented for his brilliancy which has brought him to such an advanced position at such an early age. He says that he is going to be a lawyer when he begins his business career and at the rate he is going now we believe that he will make a famous one. “Oh Vs little, but Vs wise, ‘E’s a terror for ‘is size!” 32 MAROON AND GRAY Deane Webber “Weeny”, “Webber”, “Crust” College I’rep. Course Orchestra (3), Boys' Quartette (4). Deane believes in working hard and taking four years in three. We wonder why she wishes to graduate with 1919? There certainly is a reason and a good one. Deane is quite a musician( as is proved by his crop of hair), but musical notes do not seem to be the only notes that have interested him. This young man is very popular in all social functions, even in those of the younger classmen. He is always ready for a good time, although sometimes it has been noticed that the teach- ers are not ready at the same time that he is. But when it comes to work we can count on Deane also, and we are sure that no matter what profession he may take up he will be a success. “Still perceiving, still pursuing, I.earn to labor ami to wait”.

Miss Gallagher, Miss Foster, and Miss Buck- hout deserve special mention for their work in training the players. Mr. Heck- man very kindly consented to take a lead- ing part in the play. The operetta was quite a success and drew a large crowd. The proceeds amounted to about $245. We were sorry to have Miss Foster leave us on account of illness and we hope for her speedy recovery. At a re- cent meeting of the School Board Miss Pattee was elected as a member of the faculty to teach Miss Foster’s classes. The High School girls, under the direc- tion of the Senior girls with Miss Buck- hout as nominal head, are planning to give a Bake Sale in the Foster Building, April 28. The proceeds are to he given to the Maroon and Gray. Mr. Doner, V. M. C. A. Secretary, de- livered a lecture on Physical Culture to us on April 11 which was greatly ap- preciated by the whole school. We have at last found out definitely that we will have to make up the time we missed on account of the Spanish “Flu”. Therefore, school will close on June 6th and the Commencement Exer- cises will take place that evening. We were glad to welcome a number of the alumni as visitors up in High School, among whom were the following: Augusta Bullock, Mildred Ailman, Opal Chapman, Raymond Dale, Robert Hoy, Boyd Kapp, Musser Rupp, Harold Bren nen, Paul Heverly, Sheldon Homan and Thompson Foster. The High School Orchestra made its debut at the Parent-Teachers’ Association some months ago and starred (?) in a single night. At any rate they were call- ed on to play again. Luther Carl, who stopped school in order to go to war, recently returned from an aviation camp in Ohio.

FRESHMEN CLASS REPORT The Freshmen were organized into i class on September 6, 1918. At this meet- ing they were given an idea of the task they were preparing to face as students of State High, what school spirit is, and other information necessary for them to know for their success as future upper- class men, by the chairman, Ernest Roy- er, '19. The following officers were elect- ed at this meeting: President, Joseph Campbell: Vice President, Charles Light: Secretary and Treas., Anna oodrutt; Reporter, Eugene Pearce. The first social meeting of our class was a Hallowe'en party which was well attended and enjoyed by all. Although we are only Freshmen, some of us seem to have a large amount of at- traction in the upper classes. How about it, Mary Harvey? Some of the boys from our class who are trying to make the baseball team are: Robert Graham, Charles Light, Joseph Campbell, George Sarson, and Verne Gill. We hope that they have the best of suc- cess in their undertaking and that they may appear on the team next year as regulars. 38 MAROON AND GRAY Harry Winters—“Sir, will you please work this problem for me?” Mr. Wilson (drawing out his watch)— ell it’s getting late, class is dismissed”. ho are the following: “Smiling Sam”, Jaggers , “Uncle Neff”, “Pardeth”, “Mis- erable , “Lieut. Corl”, “Fatty”, “Sweet and Low”, “Humpback Lew”. It is with regret that we call your at- tention to the fact that several members of our class have left school. They are: Hilda Jolly, Kmma Johnson, Rose Wood, Homer Johnson, Mildred Coble and Bes- sie Kline. It is our earnest hope that they may return to our class next year. Some of the athletes in our class are: Mike Gill, the pole vaulter; “Fatty” Winters, the high jumper; “Johnny” Holmes, the champion pie-eater; “Joe” Campbell, the champion “fusser”. We are glad to know- that one of our class made the football team last fall. The unlucky one was Charles Light. Carrie Holter and Mary Wert deserve credit for making the High School Girls' Basketball Team. Due to the crowded condition of our school some of our members have been given seats in the English Room. In former years these seats were oc- cupied by members of the Senior Class. John HoLmes HArry Winters Thomas Watt Charles Light Joseph Neff George Sarson Mary Harvey Lingle David WAy Ronald Robison Luther Krebs Hilda HaycS — OR the first time in a good many years the girls of S. C. H. S. have facilities, and per- haps inclination for athletics, particularly basketball. I his is a result of agitation by the N . . C. A. girls last year, and was brought to a suc- cessful finish by the Parent-Teachers' As- sociation, who were instrumental in fur- nishing us with necessary properties. As a result we now have a fairly good out- door basketball court and ball, for which we are properly grateful. 'e organized basketball about the first of October under the leadership of Mrs. N orse, to whom we take this chance of extending our heartiest thanks. I he girls, too, have responded nobly and have shown the greatest interest. At the beginning of the year forty girls came out for basketball, and of those only five or six have dropped out. A fine re- cord ! We played among ourselves until cold and snow made it impossible. As yet we have played no games with outside teams. Several times we have almost played the freshmen girls of Penn State, but due to inclement weather we have been unable to practice on our out- door court, and have been under the necessity of calling the game off. We had intended to have indoor ath- letics during the winter, but owing to conditions which we were not able to control, that plan was impracticable. As soon as the April showers become less frequent so that the court can be lined we will start basketball again. S. C. H. S. has done fine so far in girls' basketball. She has plenty of fine ma- terial for a star varsity team and perhaps next year she will be able to play some outside games, and win them too. Keep up the good work, girls! The boys of the High School must be given credit for their grand support to the Athletic Association, since only a very small number failed to become members of the organization. Early in the term the A. A. purchased new socks and jerseys. ith this equip- ment on hand the football candidates were called out by Captain Edmiston, ’19. At the beginning there were a large num- ber who reported, but as the season ad- vanced, the number decreased until there were only a few more than enough for one team. The squad was composed chiefly of green material, but under the instruc- tion of the coaches, Rev. Harkins, Rev. Kratzer, and Ralph Loose, the new men developed rapidly, and a first class team was put on the field. When military drill took up the practice period, the squad came out at 6:30 A. M. and worked till 8:30 A. M. Even after all this faithful practice there were but two games played during 40 MAROON AND GRAY the season. One with Altoona at Al- toona, and the other with Huntingdon at Huntingdon. e were able to defeat Altoona by a score of 12-0, but at Huntingdon we were defeated after much hard fighting by a score of ( -0. 1'his was rather a set back to the squad as we went to Altoona half expecting defeat, but determined to make them work for what they got, and came back with the bacon, showing that de- termination had something to do with it. At Huntingdon all signs were against us although we fought stubbornly until the end. The warm spring days brought on the baseball fever which was caught by a goodly number who have been and are still hard at practice. However, when the diamond was to be fixed the Old Hollow was quite thinly populated with persons willing to lend a hand. MAROON AND GRAY 41 Le Mir |?
