x f.k, ' U , 1 .w,.t. ,- i THE GLE The Alpha Theta Tau Fraternity was organized in November, 1923. Since its establish- ment it has grown into a vigorous organization which has given wholefhearted support to every school activity. Its members have contributed many interesting articles to the school news. Ref marquesf' and the assistance which they gave the Literary Society helped make the meetings of that body interesting and beneficial. But perhaps, its chief accomplishment has been fe- flected in its success in promoting goodfwill and friendship in the school, not only among its members, but throughout the various departments, ln March of 1925 the Pi Delta Gamma Sorority was organized. New members have been initiated from time to time until it has become a rival of the fraternity in size and in its activity in school affairs. Its motto is Look forward and not backward, and lend a hand. Theatre parties, picnics, and dinners planned throughout the year provide an outlet for some of the energy and pep of the Sorority and keep the members in close touch with one another. Our years at Pittsburgh Academy have been prohtably and pleasantly spent. and in leaving, we take with us memories to be treasured and friendships never to be forgotten. Most of us have had some experience in the business world, We are workers with a worker's realization of the equipment necessary for a successful hght in the field we have chosen to conquer. To secure that equipment we appealed to Pittsburgh Academy, knowing that they stood ready and capable of giving help wherever needed. Now we are ready to tackle the next job. We will win, and a large portion of the credit will be due to the encouragement and guidance given by our friends. classmates and teachers, of Pittsburgh Academy. --ESTHER M. SMITH. DAY SCHOOL AREWELL, and Hail! We come to the end of our short cruise at P. A. and now are about to embark on a long journey oler life's turbulent waves. Back in retrospect over the journey just ended, fondly and pleasantly, we may reminisce on our ex' periences. The crew was an inspiring and an earnest one, intent that the good old ship P. A. should have the proudest voyage in her career, and tenderly we now bring her into the port of our desires. to be entrusted to a new and faithful crew in waiting. iq -iff-...A .t.f'.-If ' .. it-.' -' r kc ..l-fm It is a pleasure to look over the way we have travelled. We have been students together and our teachings, our experiencs and our counsels have been full of beauty and of earnestness. Often we have regaled ourselves at the fountains of Botany. Historyr Shorthand and Book' keeping, or at the more enchanting, streams of travel, poetry. and wit furnished by speakers in our assembly hall, or by teachers in our class rooms. Our social activities were sponsored by the cordial spirit of our seniors. The Remarques Club has strengthened our mental muscles in tussel to think clearly. to write precisely, The Dramatic Club has developed in us poise and self command. and to it the class owes the success of class night, How the debates of the Forum Organization and the Civics Club have exf panded our vision, stimulated our thought in matters of civic, national and current interests! How many a bashful Scholar flung aside his habitual taciturnity and entered impetuously into the discussions, And finally, the Pi Delta Gamma Sorority and the Sigma Sigma Sigma Fraternity organized to create friendliness and social diversions among the P. A. students. The majority of the students in the Academic department have had at least two years, some three years of study at P. A. There is no sharp distinction between departments because many in the Commercial department take academic subjects. e, g., French, Spanish. English. etc,: there' fore the notable successes achieved in fitting men and women more fully to round out their edu' cational pursuits. Since its establishment in 1882 Pittsburgh Academy has grown steadily and has become a factor of increasing importance in the educational and business life of Pittsburgh. Students of P. A. have an honorable heritage, one which is both a source of pride and a stirring challenge to new students enrolling at the Academy. The Class of '26 has been conscious of this heritage, and feels proud of the accomplishments of preceding claims. and hails it. Alma Maternl We know not what scenes await us on our journey, but in whatever part of life fortune may place us, rich stores of knowledge will be ours to command and worthy advancement ours to gain, because of the inspiration and training received during our stay at Pittsburgh Academy. --RUTH A.
