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.

A jolly gang of bright faced girls and boys eagerly climbed into machines, street cars, trucksgand it is whis' pered some of them even walked-bound for Neville Island for the annual outing of Pittsf burgh Acadmy. This picnic was held on the Dravo Country Club grounds, Tennis, baseball, swimming and hiking filled the greater part of the day: while the evening was most enjoyably spent in dancing-music furnished by the Pittsburgh Academy Orchestra, A baseball game took place between the Academic and the Commercial department during the morning. The Academics won. Due to the very high wind the game was called early. It was unanimously decided by all who attended that the students who were not present at this outing missed one sparkling, longftofbefremenibered time. SENICR PROM JUNE is, 1926 Of all the social events of Pittsburgh Academy during the year 1925-1926 the Senior Spring Dance for outshone all others in the minds of the majority, This dance, given in the Blue Room of the Vifilliam Penn Hotel, june 18, was attended by the faculty and a large part of the student body as well as by many alumni members and friends. Many there were who proclaimed the Bal Masque of the fall the most brilliant affair of the year until the un' doubted success and splendor of our spring dance. Here all the hues of the rainbow were depicted in the lovely evening gowns of the ladies. their beauty enhanced by the conventional black attire of the gentlemen. Special feature dances by Edna Fleishauer added to the attrac' tion of the very excellent music which was furnished by The Techsonsf' masters in that art made famous by Paul Wliitenian. CLASS NIGHT JUNE 22, 1926 , In the history of the Pittsburgh Academy, the class night of '26, held at the Congress of Women's clubs on Tuesday evening, june 22, must be recorded as a distinct achievement. A wellfbalanced program of particular interest to P, A. graduates and their friends was pref sented. The Class History, Class Prophecy, Class Poem and Class Will-all of which are printed elsewhere in this book-were wellfdelivered and equally wellfreceived by the large audi- ence. In addition to these features, the program contained a wide variety of pleasing num' bers-solos, specialty dances, readings, etc. The P. A. orchestra also contributed in a large degree to the success of the evening. The following members of the Dramatic Club assisted in the production of the Class Night program: Catherine Winter, Elsie and ,lack Hearns, Nellie Gray, Gunard Hedburg, Beatra Winkle, Melda Milde, Anna Snyder, Mary Louise Wagner, Betty Milde, Lucille Yeaney, Anna Lynn, Esther Smith, Ruth S. Stuclcrath. Little Miss Muffet, Edith Stone, Rose Baker, Bcggig Cox, Betty Evans and Horace Neals, Amelia Rust. George Noye, Gerald Hodgson, Harriet Monks, Hilma Sutter, Eva Krepps, F, -lacqualine jackson, Red Horan, Speed Hodgson, lack Sisler, Bugs Moorehead, and Red McLaren. The class is indebted to Miss Catherine Wiiiter. also a member of '26, for the success of the Class Night. She arranged the program and directed rehearsals. Her competent criticism and kindly interest endeared her to all those associated with her and served as an incentive to other members of the club to put forth greater effort. ln this work she was assisted by Mr, Grady, faculty advisor of the Dramatic Club.
