'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.

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.

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. McNutt—T9
