S. pupils and accounts of the everyday incidents of the school life. It is hoped that it will be a factor in enabling the different classes to understand each other and in helping to make the school life profitable and enjoyable. It is the aim of The Spectator to help to improve the school life by pointing out faults that need remedying, and commending those qualities that are praiseworthy, in the school and in the student body. The Spectator will be the means by which the Alumni may follow the events of the school, and perhaps recall their own happy school days. It will also serve to give the townspeople, the fathers and mothers of the high school pupils, a concrete example of the kind of work the school boys and girls are doing. So it is with the purpose of helping to make the school life more enjoyoble and more profitable that The Spectator takes its place in our midst. ----oo---- THE NEW BUILDING Every pupil of the Vandergrift High School is happy, because we are now in the new building. And what a building it is! The old building compares with it as—but comparisons are odious, someone has said, so we shall refrain from making any. The heating system is not perfectly adjusted yet, but when it is, the temperature will be uniform in all the rooms. “Patience and perseverance conquer many obstacles—in time! The building has the windows arranged so that the electric lights need to burn only on very dull days. There is plenty of light for every seat. The seats themselves are of a comfortable and convenient type. The domestic science, chemistry, and physics departments are very well equipped, making possible a thorough course in the sciences. The location of the building, in a quiet part of Vandergrift, is unsurpassed. Situated at the summit of a hill, the building gets plenty of sunlight on account of its elevation. The view from the building out over the hill and valley, looking up the winding Kiski-minetas, is inspiring. With a gymnasium and auditorium, which we earnestly hope the future will bring to us. we shall have in Vandergrift one of the very best high school buildings in the state. ----oo---- A SUGGESTED TRIBUTE TO THEODORE ROOSEVELT. - In honor of Theodore Roosevelt it would be a splendid plan for each student to plant a tree or shrub that would live for years. It could be planted in a park or on the school grounds, where the public could see it at all times. As long at the tree or shrub lived, it would be a beautiful monument to him who so heartily loved the great out, of-doors.

Two of them are of gold, in honor cf two of our number who have given “the last full measure of devotion”—Charles I e Roy Felker and John N. Wherry, Jr. ' In behalf of the class of 1919 and the class cf 1917 we wish to take this orrortunity to express our deepest regret in the loss of these members, and to extend our sympathy to their immediate families, relatives and friends. Charles Le Roy Felker Several years ago, when his father moved from Vandergrift. Le Roy Felker remained to carry on his studies in the Vandergrift High School. He worked in Murphy’s Drug Stole for several years, where he came into contact with a great many townspeople and gained many friends. He was a lover of nature, and nothing appealed more to him in his spare time than to stroll out over the hills or to take hikes through the country. He was especially fond of studying plants and animals, and several of his friends had finally induced him to make nature-study his vocation. Had he remained in Vandergrift, Le Roy would have graduated from our High School, but the call of his country came first. War was declared on April 6, 1917 ar i Le Roy enlisted in the Marines the latter part of the month. He was among the first to go from Vandergrift. He was eighteen years old at the time of his enlistment. He was first stationed at Philadelphia and was later transferred to the Fifth Regiment, Fifty-fifth Company, United States Marines, which was reviewed in Washington, D. C. and in New York City before going to France. In June 1917, he sailed for France with the first contingent. He was a member of the first United States Army to set foot on foreign soil. Le Roy was in France a year before the United States started the final drive which ended the war. All remember the drive the Marines made about July 18, 1918, which opened the 11 way for the United States Armies. Le Roy Felker participated in this fight and was severely wounded on July 19. About the latter part of August, word was received that he had been wounded, but no further word was received until December, when his father learned through a Red Cross hospital that he had died on July 20. Thus ended the career of a young man whose future seemed most promising. John N. Wherry, Jr. John N. Wherry. Jr., was a member of'the class of 1917, and enlisted on May 7, 1917. He was eighteen years, eight months, and one day old at the time of his enlistment. He was sent from Pittsburgh to Columbus. Ohio on May 10, and from there was sent to Fort Sam Houston, San Antonio, Texas. From here he was sent to Fort Bliss. FI Paso, Texas, where lie was assigned to Ambulance Co. No. 3, of the Medical Department of the First Division. He was then sent with his company to Vicksburg, Mississippi, to the reunion of the soldiers of the Blue and Cray. From here his Company was sent to Fort Oglethorpe and then to a port of embarkation. John sailed for France about the fourth day of December 1917. The ship arrived in a French port the day before Christmas. He was in Europe a year, and his duties carried him through France into Luxemburg and Germany. On the eighth cf January 1919, word was received by his parents that John had died on December 26. 1918. while with the army of occupation, in Germany. His death was caused by tuberculosis and meningitis, which were thought to have been contracted from a gas attack received while removing wounded soldiers from the Argonne Forest to Field Hospital No. 3. John took an active part in the affairs of the high school and was very much interested in high school sports. He was on the Varsity football team for two years. He was among the first to go from Vandergrift, and he lived to see the war brought to a victorious conclusion. 12 THE SPECTATOR LITERARY FIRST IN WAR, FIRST IN PEACE George Washington, the first President of the United States, was born in Westmoreland County, Virginia, February 22, 1732. At the age of sixteen he was n ode surveyor of the large Fairfax property in Virginia. He camped out in the forest and was in constant danger from the Indians. When the French and Indian war broke out, he was sent by Gorvernor Dinwiddie to warn the French, and his vigorous defense of Fort Necessity gained him, when only twenty-three years of age, the post of Commander-in-chief of all the Virginia forces. He later served in Braddock’s campaign, and at Fort Duquesne. After his vigorous campaign he married a wealthy widow and settled down at Mount Vernon, living the life of a Southern planter for twenty years. He was several times a member of the Virginia legislature, where his friend, Patrick Henry, called him the greatest n:an in the assembly. In 1774 he was sent to the Continental Congress. He was elected Commander-in-chief of the army when the Revolutionary War broke out. He hastened to Cambridge and took command of the army, July 2, 1775. When the convention met in Philadelphia. in 1778, to frame the Constitution he was its presiding officer, and when the time came, under its provisions, to elect the first president, there was only one choice in the country; Washington was made first President of the United States. His good judgment was needed in the forming of the new republic, and gradually with Washington’s aid the new government was constructed. He made his farewell address in 1796 and returned to his Mount Vernon home. When the difficulties with France threatened war, Washington was again called to the command of the army. He died amidst all these military activities and the entire country mourned hia death. These words of John Marshall’s, spoken in tribute of Washington at the time of his death, are well remembered throughout the nation. ’’First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.” Gladys Agnew—T9 ---oo---- THE GREAT HEART Among the great men of our nation's history, Abraham Lincoln stands out distinctly as an American who was in sympathy with, and who loved, his country. Lincoln started at the very foot of the ladder and won his way to the top. When his trial came, he knew intimately the class of people he was going to pilot. The first anecdote recalled, which gives him the name of “Honest Abe”, is the story of his starting out early one morning with his axe on his shoulder, his small sister, Matilda, following him, against her mother’s orders. The child slipped up behind him and throwing her arms about his neck, drew him backward to the earth. As he fell, his axe cut her ankle. While they were administering first aid,” the child wondered how she could conceal her disobedience from her mother, but her brother advised the simple truth. During Lincoln’s career as a lawyer he won the good will of many. If his client was poor, he often refused payment for his services. During the Civil War, it was a cause of great sorrow to President Lincoln to have to punish soldiers for misdeeds, and if no reason for pardon was evident, he was willing to find one. Whatever he was doing, the fate of the sentenced soldier was on his heart, and he pardoned many because of their tender age. On Friday, which was chosen as execution day, he was often heard to remark that a boy was to be shot that day, and he hoped he was not wrong in allowing it. Many instances, THE SPECTATOR 13 such as this, reveal his care and sympathy for the common soldier. He would say, “Perhaps the man is poor and friendless. If he has no friend I will be his friend”. But Lincoln also knew that trying to attend to the troubles of all the soldiers would be like trying to bail the water out of the Hudson river with a spoon. Because of his sympathy and kindness to them, the soldiers named him “Father Abraham”, and surely no one deserved the name more than he. Margaret Clawson—’23 ------oo------ CUPID’S VICTORY Mirandy was in the kitchen making cookies to take to Daisy Slocum’s party that night. She was all excited because Ephriam Jones, her sweetheart. was to accompany her to Daisy’s home. All at once she heard the dog barking and she knew the postman was passing. She was going to go out, but her cookies were almost ready to come out of the oven and if she left them, they would bum. Her little sister, Dorothy ran to get the mail. She brought the letters in and laid them on the table near the pet parrot. Jerry’s cage. Among the letters, was one for Mirandy from Ephriam, but Jerry could not read and he seemed to be aching to get into mischief. He stuck his claw out through the cage bars and clutched the letter. Ah. what a tragedy! He drew it into his cage and was soon very busy tearing it into an infinity of shreds. That night. Mirandy waited and waited, but Ephriam did not come. She wondered why Ephriam had not come. Could he be ill? Could something dreadful have happened to him? Ephriam would not stay away without some good reason; but why did he neglect letting her know? Two days passed and still no word from Ephriam. Finally Mirandy’s patience was worn out and she declared she wouM have nothing more to do with Ephriam Jones. Ephriam. on the other hand, wondered what had happened to sever the relationship between them. Then he remembered that Valentine Day was soon to come, and decided to send Mirandy a Valentine. He flew out of the house and into the barn where he saddled his fastest horse and off he rode. The minutes seemed like hours, even though his horse broke all speed records of the countryside. He finally reached a store where valentines were sold. He selected one he thought most suitable to carry his love message. He did not notice the booklet attached to it until he was home, but decided it was just the thing to make amends for anything wrong he had done. Poor Dan Cupid had been at his wit’s end to know how to mend the broken friendship. He was soon put at ease, however, when he discovered Eph-riam’s plan. He simply guided Eph-riam’s choice in the selection of the little booklet, the verse in which ran. thus: “The little note I send to you. 1 was compelled to send by Fate. And though you are the one I woo. You have turned away in Hate. E’en though your love has wandered away, My love for you will never stray.” On Valentine Day. Mirandy received the valentine, which saved her from becoming a spinster for life. She sent Ephriam a note filled with love and forgiveness and Dan Cupid knew then that he had won the victory. Hazel Henry—’21 ------oo------ THE GREATEST AMERICAN It is a deep tragedy to America that the death of Theodore Roosevelt should come at a time when our country needs the help of its best trained minds. Therefore, it is the wish and duty of the American people to pay him tribute. Roosevelt embodied the American spirit. He was ever ready to respond when the call to arms came. He gave willingly to the poor, and never tired in his work for the progress or humanity. He would go quickly to the aid of a stricken enemy. He loved children. Roosevelt was in every sense a true American. Evelyn Swanson—’23 14 THE SPECTATOR THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A MOUSE Reading in the paper one day of a new building which had been erected, I decided to leave my peaceful abode in Shutt's Livery'and rent a suite of rooms in this wonderful building. So taking enough food to last the journey, I set out upon the inarch. The building, situated at the head of Franklin Avenue, is of white brick. I selected the most suitable rooms, considering the store houses, refrigerators, and all conveniences in general. These rooms are located on the third floor, fourth room to the right, front. There are six tables, three in a row and of course, two rows. Several cupboards are set in the walls and afford ample storage for all the food I may need. I enjoyed the privacy of these rooms for several days, but my bill-of-fare was very scanty and I was just about to depart from my happy home, when there arrived upon the scene of action fair maidens and boisterous lads, laden with many of the good things of this earth. They laid their burdens in one of the drawers of the table, and sallied forth from the room. Taking it upon my humble self to inspect the bundles, I had just reached the drawer when, alas, (but too late to keep the secret from me) the same boisterous lads and the same fair maidens entered, joyous and triumphant They set to work with a vim that was much unlike their usual mode of action. But this lasted only a few minutes. Then came the great issue of the day. Sandwiches, cake, popcorn, and candy were brought forth, all of it home-made except the candy. Then one tall slim young man furnished a quart of grape juice. I watched them long and silently, saying over and over in my mind, “Eat drink, and be m rry, for to-morrow you may die.” They ate and drank, and ate and drank, and I became worried as to whether there would be anything left for me. The first period passed; they still ate! The second came and went; and with it went that whole gormandizing class! Deeming it better that I should wait till evening, I partook of a few crumbs only. I. waited. The day passed slowly. Evening came at last and ’twas then that 1 feasted as I had never feasted before. Cake crumbs, bread crumbs, bits of chocolate candy, and grape juice that was left in the glasses—all were almost new to me, for I had spent the greater part of my days in the Livery Stable. That festive day is past but ’twill never be forgotten. Every night I pray that these same men and maidens may soon decile to feast again. Not till then shall 1 be happy! Paul Long—T9 -----oo------ GUIDING HEART STRINGS The Queen of Hearts leaned lovingly over Anne Martin this fourteenth day of February. But the Spirit of St. Valentine shook a warning finger at her, as she flipped Ann’s heart from suitor to suitor then let it slow up dangerously near the heart of Donald Roger. Anne, sitting before the fire in her cosy sitting room, made a beautiful living picture. The leaping flames and dancing lights from the coal fire lit the big room dimly, and threw tantalizing shadows on her bewitching little face, with its glowing brown eyes and fluffy hair. The soft clucking hisses of the burning coals sounded surprisingly like the faint sighs that escaped her gently-routing lips, and the dreamy atmosphere of the room was conducive to just such thoughts as troubled Ann's pretty head. Should she or should she not accept Donald Roger's proposal? Of course, Don’s future wife need have no fear for the more material comforts of life. He had everything a girl's heart could wish in money and position. But had she really forgotten John Wentworth? Was the love of that manly, blue-eyed soldier gone completely out of her life, just because of that foolish quarrel? Surely, surely he coud not really have forgotten the wonderful hours they had spent together in that faraway June two years ago. But he had not written; and her proud little head straightened resentfully at the thought. Furthermore she did THE SPECTATOR 15 rather like Donald, the catch of the season—and there was no doubt of his liking her. But she could not think cf Donald at all, when the laughing, six-foot John seemed so near. Strange, the tricks memory will play upon us, when we think we have forgotten and been forgotten. If she refused Don the girls would think her peculiar— but with a wee tightening of her heart, she felt that surely one more day of freedom need not matter. As if in answer to her thought the clatter of an express wagon told her that here at least was some positive proof of Don’s caring,—roses, red and white, in such profusion that their heavy fragrance weighted down the air in the room and banished her mood of reverie. They were everywhere a-bout her. They seemed to typify what her life with Don would be—roses and luxuries in such quantities that they stifled all the happy, homey thoughts she had. And then she knew—knew she could never forget the old love, now in France, and that roses cannot make love. The Spirit of St. Valentine nodded approvingly as the Queen of Hearts drew Anne’s heart closer and closer to John’s gallant soldier heart. And Dan Cupid chuckled and clapped his hands as they settled slowly down beside one another. In the last mail that evening Ann received a tiny red valentine with the words: “Just a kiss from France For a love both old and new. Won’t you be my Valentine And let me come to you?” Louise Bortz—T9 ------oo------ OUR THREE GREAT WAR PRESIDENTS Our three great war presidents nam'ely, Washington. Lincoln, and Wilson, are put down in history as among the nation’s greatest men. When we stop to consider what it must have meant for these men to be at the head of the nation at such critical times, when the country was in turmoil, we shall not hesitate to consider that they were fully worthy of the honor which is bestowed upon them. Washington, our first war president, was elected to this office just at the time when our government was being formed, so was naturally called The Father of His Country—a man such as our country needed most at this time. During his whole life, Washington did all he could to help the country along, especially after he was made president. When it was said of him that he was “First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen”, a great truth was uttered. When the Revoutionary War broke out, he was one of the first men to organize troops. When peace was dawning Washington was one of the first who was in favor of establishing peace among his coun trymen. Lincoln, our second great war president, was elected to this office just before the Civil War. Unlike Washington, Lincoln was reared a very poor boy an,d had a hard struggle all through his life. But in spite of all these hardships, he rose to be one of America’s noblest and most honored men. It has often been said of Lincoln that he had the kindest heart that the world has ever known, and if we stop to reflect upon this statement, we shall find it to be true. During the great war, in spite of his anxiety, his worry, and many other troubles, he would take time to visit and comfort the wounded soldiers, as well as to give aid and comfort to the mothers who came to him concerning their boys. All through his life. Lincoln showed great kindness to everyone and performed his duties so well that when he was assassinated, it was no wonder that the South as well as the North mourned his death. Wilson, our present executive, is our last war president. When we consider what he has done for us in the present war, we do not hesitate to say that he has fully done his duty. In spite of his desire to keep us from getting into the dreadful war which has just passed, when we did enter it, he did all in his power to carry the war through to a victorious end. In respect and honor to these three great war presidents, and great and noble men as well, we pause during these busy days to give them a tribute from our grateful hearts. Evelyn Love—’21 THE SPECTATOR 16 TO PHOTOGRAPHY Thou Blessed Art,—Photography— My heart and soul go out to thee. For though my friends be far away Thou bidst their image with me stay. Old Father Time cannot erase Youth and manhood from the face. Thy Art has pictured here for me The soldier brave, whom now I see. Who volunteered in Freedom's cause To prove the justice of God’s laws. To help the nations in distress And crush the one who would oppress. Through years. I gaze upon his face; Old Time no furrows there can trace; His noble brow will ever be Always young and fair to me. Though age may dim his piercing eye. Portraits won’t change as years go by. If future years bid him be old, No silver threads can streak the gold. O Art Supreme! my ravings hear— For keeping past friends ever near. Thou guardest them from Time’s rude theft. And Death takes toll;—yet they are left. Mae George—’1ft ------oo------ THE HAPPY MAN ‘‘Have you seen him?” “Who?” “The HAPPY MAN.” “Why where is he? I have not even seen him.” “You have seen him every day, for about a month. He greets every one with a broad and winning smile. He walks down Grant Avenue with his chest expanded and with an air of a generalissimo of the army. You would think to look at him that he had been fighting against the Hun for three years and had just returned to the family circle. Say, he is some big headed fellow, you bet!” “Ah, come ahead and tell us who you have been raving about.” “Well, this is some joke! Haven’t you really seen him? Why he is the fellow who passed his exams on 74.001%”. Margaret Patton—T9 RED TAPE If you turn around in school, you have to go through red tape to turn back again. When I want to speak to a boy or girl in the study-hall, instead of turning around in my seat to speak to him, I have to go and stanS beside him. I say this kind of business is not conserving strength. If I go’from one room to another, to speak to a person, I have to go to the War Department (Principal’s office) and get a passport. I must also ask the Commander-in-chief (teacher) to put the blinds down, if the sun is shining in the room. When I go to the guard house (study-hall) I go there to study, not to talk. I am not allowed to talk in the Barracks (reporting room) after the bell rings. My life is all tangled up in Red Tape. Woe is me! Frank Adams—’23 ------oo------ NIGHT IN THE FOREST The crescent moon hangs high in the sky O’er the velvety darkness of night: And the gentle breezes softly sigh, As they ripplingly make their flight. High in the trees the nightingales sing; Deep in the forest the wood creatures croon Of the wonderous glories of beautiful spring And the radiance bright of the crescent moon. While the towering trees stand a mighty guard O'er all the woodland flowers in sight: And the brook shows a ribbon of silver un marred To share in the beauteous joy of the night. Julia Beck—’23 ------oo------ Miss Griswold—Merle, construct a sentence using the word gruesome. Merle—I got tired of shaving so I gruesome w’liiskers. THE SPECTATOR ATHLETICS Review of Football Season Considering everything, the football season was a success. The closing of the schools caused by the outbreak of the epidemic of Spanish influenza seriously affected the season, causing the cancellation of our entire schedule and the loss of a month of practice. The first game was played at Saltsburg, October 12, where we were defeated by the Kiski Secoiyls by a score of 19-7. The second and last game of the season was not played until November 28, when V. H. S. held the heavy Tarentum eleven to a 12-0 score, on a wet and slippery field. Coaches O’Brein and Kurtz had a wealth of material to work with before the “flu” closing came, and if the same spirit is displayed next year as was displayed in the past season, a winning combination is looked for. No letters were awarded, because only two games were played. However, the following men earned for themselves a secure place on the Var- sity: Beck Calderone Clawson Craig Davis McCormick McNutt Olinger Parscns Paul Procopio Walters (Capt.) oo Basket-ball Notes The first basket-ball game of the season was played on December 20, 1918, when V.

S. team, accompanied by a large number of rooters, invaded Apollo to do battle with the local High favorites. Special street cars were on hand to convey the Vandererift rooters to the game. When the sa;d rooters got into the school gymnasium where the game was played, there was soarce’y room to breathe. And Oh! boy, when they started to cheer, under the able direction of cheer leaders Davis and Clawson, they made the exponents of the “A-p-o-l-l-o” yell seem as if they were whisrering. As for the game, the V. H. S. boys responded nobly, vanquishing Apollo by a score of 34-23. In the preliminary, V. H. S. Seconds defeated Apollo Seconds 25-12, thus taking two scalps in rne night. V.

McNutt—T9 ------oo----- A REQUEST Will some one please notify the architect in planning for another building like this, not to have windows that you can open, for the simple reason that they are to remain closed. Kingsley Hunger a former Vander-grift student is now studying in Indiana. Fritz Goldstrom will surely get out of practice since we have no orchestra. Mae Flood is kept so busy walking back and forth with the teachers that she has to bring her dinner to school. If things keep on as they are, V. H. S., will soon have some Basket B.all team because Merle Alshouse, one of V. H. S.’s studious students has been trying out for Basket Ball. Something very unusual happened last week, Kirk Beck was at school a whole day. Messrs. Arthur Davis and Perry Fox recently took a short furlough. Furloughs are not granted to every one. For particulars see Mr. Berken-stock. The Seniors have a class of 44 students and expect another student soon. We would like to have you with us “Bob.” It is reported that Edgar Allen Poe turned over in his grave from envy the other day when he heard the way in which the English IV Literary Class improved bis Black Cat. -------oo------ “ODE” TO OUR NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING I Noble High School we salute thee, Thou art perfect absolutely. Though we’ve not been with thee long. Still we praise thee in our song. II Many a year we’ve yearned for thee. Now you’re here, we’re full of glee. There’s naught on earth we wished so much. Except, perhars, to lick the “Dutch.” III And so, dear High School, don’t for- - get We love thee now; and we'll love thee yet When far from thee we’ve cast our lot. And begun our race for the “ill-begot.” A. M.

'r - — :i So far we have received only three exchanges. It is probablly due to the influenza epidemic that other schools have not started their magazines earlier. Greensburg “Brown and White”: Your magazine is interesting and well arranged. “By the Fireside” is an exquisite bit of description. The editorial on night work is a good idea. It would be well if more students took it seriously. “Entre Nous,” Stonington, Conn. Your magazine, though small, is quite good. There is a lack of editorials and athletic news. “Lafayette Oracle,” Buffalo, New York. Your school paper is splendid. It is well arranged and very much worth while. The editorials and cuts are good; the assembly notes are very interesting; and the verse is of unusually good quality for a high school Hildred Hayes is a student at King’s Business School in Pittsburgh. Martha Schall is attending school at Allegheny College.' Harold Richey, of the class of ’18, is now attending Allegheny College. Susan Hainley is a student at Grove City College.

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS—THEY’HELPED US THE SPECTATOR 21 CLASS NOTES SENIOR CLASS NOTES The Senior class welcomes to its a-bode its new members, Gladys McKee, Bessie Burkett, Ethel Burkett, Leah Armstrong, and Vera Hoffman. Two of these new members have been with the Senior Class through its four years of school life, but on account of entering as sub-freshman they were not permitted to report to the same room as the Seniors. Gladys McKee, Ethel Burkett, and Vera Hoffman are completing the term in three years. Now, as the first half of the year is over these pupils have secured the necessary credits for Senior classification. In the Fifth Liberty Loan parade the Senior class took an active- and prominent part. They led the school, preceded by their banner with the Large 1919 upon it. The boys then followed, each carrying a Liberty Loan ensign. Eight or ten girls, carrying the High School’s service flag and large American flag, were next in line. The girls were dressed in white, each one wearing a red cross veil. The most impressive feature of the Senior contribution was the float, which was decorated in red, white, and blue, and adorned with decorative posters. “Columbia,” “The Greatest Mother in the World,” and “Liberty” were represented in tableaux' by the girls on the float. The Senior class held a party in honor of the Junior class Friday evening, January 17. The Ford City basketball team and the V. H. S. faculty were also present. The entire class was present at the memorial services for Leroy Felker, one of our former classmates. The service was conducted by the Reverend Mr. Renton in the Methodist church of Vandergrift. Lillian Mclntire—T9 JUNIOR NOTES On account of the fact that the Junior Class is not organized, the usual class festivities have been few this year. On January 17, 1919, however, the dull monotony of our inactivity was broken by an entertainment which was given us by the Seniors. The party was one of the most successful ever held in V. H. S. and was given immediately after a basket ball game with Ford City, so the members of the visiting team were also guests of the Seniors. The Junior Class has been considerably diminished lately because several members have made up the points necessary for Senior classification and consequently are now enrolled in the Senior Class as candidates for graduation in May of this year. Vernon Hefelfinger—T9 --------oo------ SOPHOMORE NOTES The enrollment of the Sophomore Class is sixty-nine. Sixty-eight of the Class are taking French. About twenty-five failed to pass the exams of the first semester. The following persons of the class received certificates for selling Liberty Bonds of the Fourth Loan: Kirk Beck, Rose Beck. John Calder-one, Ted Henry, Howard Morgan, Le-Roy Levinson, David Olinger, Wanda Riggle, Robert Scott. “Dave” Olinger recently received a letter from “Tackle” Mclntire, one of the former members of the Class, and president of the class in 1918. “Tackle” was aboard the Battleship Indiana. From there he was taken to the Great Lakes. Now he is in Brooklyn, New York. He says, “I am awaiting my ship now, to go across the Atlantic. I am a first-class fireman. It is awfully hot down in those holes where I work.” We all wish “Tackle” the best of luck, for he was a great favorite a-mong his classmates. K. Thompson—’21 22 THE SPECTATOR FRESHMAN NOTES The Freshman Classes have been leading a high life this year. They each had a weiner roast last year, in October, at which time Owens’ grove was the scene of great hilarity. Reports have it that all would like to try it a-gain . With the exception of three or four boys’ being politely invited to leave the classes for the rest of the year, nothing more exciting happened until moving day. After going through the new building we decided to stay a while at, at least. After exams. Mr. Berkenstock evidently thought so much of the Freshman Classes that he wanted three of them instead of just two. Woman Suffrage reigns supreme In the A and B sections. The week of the fourteenth of February was a memorable one, for it was then that the “Freshman Classic” and “The Freshies’ Pride appeared. These are the A’s and B’s rival papers and you can expect some thrilling times. We think it will be almost as exciting as it was in Apollo after the Basket Ball game. Our literary program which is to be given every Wednesday, second period, will tend to smooth any hard feelings the papers may have aroused, for then the classes will be united. Carolyn Orr,—’22. ----oo--- JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL NOTES When “housecleaning” time came, the Jnior High School had very little to clean. Of the three classes, 8A had the least work to do—simply to clean their desks and wait for further developments—which came. There were some of the Sub-Freshman pupils who seemed to have evinced a liking for Junior High School and accordingly they were honored by demotion to that body, increasing our number of pupils from 90 to 124. Since we have moved into the new high school building we are having departmental work, which aids in giving us a diversion from the sometimes sordid moments of study, and also gives us the opportunity and privilege of exercising our muscular activity and chattering ability for a few moments. The Junior High School occupies the first floor, which is one of the best floors in the building, with its sanitary fountains ( which would be more sanitary still, if they were left solely to the use of the Junior High School. How mighty are the ceilings of these rooms! Of what wonderful construc-ture must they be— to hold all that weighty knowledge that rests above them! Horrible thought! What if it all started to descend! Mollie Beck—’23 -------oo---- SMILES It Really Happened in Class Soup: tin Solid Class)—Are we going to take the Appendix?

Let those who consider Algebra a pleasure, pay attention; but for me, I would sooner look out through the window. The weather to-day reminds me ot Algebra class. It isn’t cheerful. Well Alg—Oh! what is that Child running for? 1 see now; the wind has taken up his cap and tossed it about, while the child tries hard to catch it. There he has it. No, the wind was just playing with him. Oh! but he has it now!— now! — “Edna! What is the fifth power of three?” “Oh, er-um-343.” “ Next.” Well, that is over anyhow. The boy has gone out cf sight. There is a buggy with all kinds of interesting parcels piled in the back. There one slipred. It is torn and apples are rolling in all directions. Oh! um-that big, rc 1, juicy looking one! Alas! It’s gone into the gutter. The young girl is picking them, one by one. She has collected them all up and puts them back in the bottom of the buggy. She’s driving awa , but look, oh. how funny, the cord and the paper are hanging to the buggy, and the bumps it gets! Every bump it gets, the torn bag goes wigaling on this side and that, till one big bump comes and— there it goes, the wind has it now. There goes the ferry across the river with a load of people on it. They have reached the other side. One impatient man jumps on shore. Ah! there goes his foot into the water. It comes out with a jerk and the angry n an rushes up the steps and goes out of sight. There are several people on the road and also some automobiles. One has stopped and somebody is talking to a man, who was walking. The man gets into the car. It is going now. There’s the bell! How soon it rang! Well, looking out of the window is better than studying Algebra any day.
