awfu- tv kb ' , f' THE EAGLE Q9ur jfatultp RADUATION, to some of us is the beginning of an epoch in life. It marks the fork in the road of our existence. Une road leads to the world .-W?-LQ of accomplishments wherein material things will be pursued. The other highway takes us to fields of greater knowledge, to achievement in professional, edu' cational and scientiiic fields through institutions of higher learning. ln this transfterrestrial hike, we have reached the point where ego may have thrust upon us a spirit of independence, Nice things are said about our ability to learn in school. Kind words are written about our mental capacity and accomplish' ments in our school year book. This all tends to make us forget those actually re' sponsible for the honors we now receive. Whether we run or walk along life's highway, our faculty is responsible for whatever success we may achieve, great or small. They have taken an abstract quantity and by dint of their patience, perseverf ence and dogged persistence to leave no enigmas in our minds, have molded and shaped our slightly developed brains into caches of knowledge. To each and ever member of the facult f we owe our eternal thanks for the Y 3 just methods, kind treatment and indelible impressions of both personality and knowledge that is ours as a result of our contact with them. Pages of appreciation could be written and dedicated to each one individually but unfortunately the mind of the writer is not equal to the task, We must therefore think only along the channels of highest thought. Every beautiful sentiment, every complimentary thought, every praiseworthy idea, every worthwhile expressiong if applicable to human beings, can and should be applied to our faculty, individually and collectively. They may go on in their line of endeavor and receive additional degrees of hon' or from universities and colleges, None however can be so well earned, so deservf ing as this degree which we, the student body now confer on each of our teachers: R. F. Regardless of sex it means the same: Regular fellow. A fellowship in no art or scientiiic body could command more respect from us. Whether our future is marked by success, large, or small, let us never forget that unselfish, untiring, faithful, sympathetic group who did their very best for usq our faculty, regular fellows. -H.

THE EAGLE During a convention in Pittsburgh a few months ago I met Margaret Qualters and her hubby. She is married to her former employer. the Director of Labor and Industry. Quite a romance. Also Helen Osterman. wife of the Chief Boiler Inspector at Harrisburg. They told me that Teresa Creahan. who is now a famous portrait painter, has a wonderful studio in Har' risburg. By the way. why don't you arrange with her to have her paint your portrait? While in Washington we stopped at the White House to see President Ralph J. Pat' terson. He was mighty glad to see us and introduced us to the VicefPresident, P. N. Smith, and to the Secretary of the Treasury. Charles Wine, Jr, The next day we went to the Court House, where we encountered Judge Earl Man' chester talking to John R. Coleman and Walt Hoffman. both certified public accountants. I understand that Fred Huebner and Chuck Lied are C. P, Afs too. with offices in the Farmers Bank Building at Pittsburgh. Judge Manchester invited us to spend the evening at his home as his wife was going to give a party in honor of the noted dancer. Mme. Leona Pforsich La Place. We were anxious to see Leone so accepted the invitation, Mrs. Coolidge Knee Henrietta CudaJ and Mrs. Myrtle Dolan Frick were there. All of a sudden there was a great confusion. One of the guests had broken off a piece of a tooth while eating and exposed a nerve, A dentist was called and within a short time Dr. Arthur Villinova appeared. I read in a paper the other day that Captain Earl H. Mason. of the United States Army. had instructed his sergeants to give their corps strict instructions to prosecute all violators of the Airplane Parking Laws. In the radio section I read that Mayor Agnes Veselini, our Hrst lady mayor, would announce several appointments, and that Joe Ruben was going to give a very interesting talk on How to do Good for Humanity. In another section I read that Vincent Spagnolo now has full charge of the Boggs fi Buhl Department Store. In the Society Column I read that Mrs. John D. Rockefeller. Jr, fnee Janice Winej, of Tulsa. Qklahoma, was the guest of Mrs. Edsel Ford fnee Stella Schwarzjf' I fear that I am taking up entirely too much of your valuable time. dear. I quite forgot myself. having become so interested that I d1dn't stop to think. Oh. by the way. you remember Ted Carlberg. He is a minister and is at present cam' paigning for foreign missions. If you have all your money tied up. pawn some of your jewels and turn the money over to him. Philip Nesvisky. the Wholesale Druggist. has subscribed 51.000 to the fund. Bob Troop is President of the Y. M. C. A. His office is at the corner of Third Avenue and Wood Street. Stop in to see him the next time you're in that vicinity, He'll be glad to see you. We certainly have reason to be proud of the fact that we were members of the Class of '26, So many of them are prominent people today. 'iDid you know that Angeline Casillo is married to a noted author. They make a good team. You remember how clever she was at editing. Bill Johns is Professor of Journalism at the University of Washington. I had a lengthy conversation with him. He told me that Dutch Ashtonfyou remember Elizabeth-became so interested in a rolling-pin that she decided to vamp the Principal of the school where she taught: and she did. He also told me that Robert Cober won the World's Parchesi championship. Some time ago. while looking through my relics. I came across the engagement announce- ment of Anne Qliver. an ardent social worker, to a well known New York business man. At the Commencement exercises of the College of Manual Arts, President G. W. Cox tripped while leading the class to the platform. but he delivered his address as though nothing had happened. Many distinguished speakers were there, among whom were Governor Bernard Freiland. Dr. Josephine Vogel Cuyler. and Mrs. Jeanne Wetzel McCartney. Wl1ile driving through Texas the first thing that struck my attention was a sign on the top of a large building reading 'AndersonfMcClintock Department Storef We needed a few odd articles so parked our car and walked over, not realizing what a surprise was in store for us. As we were about to leave I noticed a very stately lady coming in, who looked very familiar. NVe recognized each other immediately and just like a magnet were drawn into each other's arms. It was Emma Anderson. She told us that her name is 'McClintock' now. You remember Bowly Morrell. He was appointed Superintendent of the Plant Depart' ment of the Bell Telephone Company. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you that Hilda Becker got the man of her dreams. He's a model husband, Allows her to wash the dishes in everything. I must be going now. I enjoyed this chat so much, Please do not forget to wire me before you come to Pittsburgh. I wish that we could turn back the universe and live over those happy school days. Don't you. C-oodfbye. dear. -AMELIA RUST. THE PITTSBURGH ACADEMY I' Orty two S f N X
