Q . I X THE EAGLE MY CREED OE YOUTH DEDICATED TO THE CLASS OF 1926, PITTSBURG ACADEMY BELIEVE in the youth of our land. Yes, with all my heart do I believe in the young manhood and the young womanhood of the nation. I believe in the splendid possibilities and potentialities of youth, youth's vigor and vivacity, virtue and veracity. I believe in our youth of today, and see in them a prom' ise for tomorrow. They will make the future, even as we are making the present, and even as our sturdy ancestors made the past. I believe that they will inherit all our knowledge, all our experience, all our industry, all our wealthg and, in doing this, it is earnestly to be hoped that they will not repeat our mistakes. I believe the youth of today need our love, our symf pathy, and our human understanding oi their problems much more than our carping criticism. I believe we should love and understand our youth in all their activities and enthusiasms, in all their trials and triumphs. I believe that the youth of today will measure up to the requirements of the future even better, perhaps, than we have met the demands of the present. I believe that a bright promise awaits youth for the fu' ture, and that at all times they deserve our blessing and a Godspeed to the goal. Such is MY CREED OF YOUTH. -GEORGE W.

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.
