Text from Pages 1 - 160 of the 1927 volume:

V THE CLASS OF 1927 lovingly dedicates this Commencement Number of the SPECTATOR to MISS ESTHER McDOWELL Who has been a patient and thorough teacher and a kind and faithful friend to the students of Vandergrift High School. Editorial As we see the term of 1927 drawing to a close, we, as a graduating class, cannot but view it with sorrow. What the oasis is to the desert with its freshness and verdure, so will our school days he in our lives, a pleasant oasis of memory. In our days together, we have had many pleasures with some sorrow, but we have learned to take the hitter with the sweet. We have had our triumphs and our failures, our victories and defeats. But out of all our associations, may we carry into the future only the most pleasant of memories. We must realize that up to this time we have been only playing with the realities of life. But soon, ah! too soon must we realize that “Life is real, life is earnest and that the future of life is hidden as with a veil. Could I but call up before us “the future that each one of us might know his or her station in life, it would not be well for us. As the pioneer goes forth into the wilderness to brave the difficulties that confront him, to hew out and establish a home, so has it ever been that each young man and woman must bravely enter the future that he or she might carve out a career. American history stands replete with such names as Washington, Lincoln, or Roosevelt, who met and conquered the problems of life. As we come to the close of our school days together, to enter the activities of life, seldom if ever, to meet, let us take with us the words of the poet— Like ships that pass in the night And meet each other in passing. Only a distant light. Then darkness again and a silence. So on the highway of life We meet each other in passing Only a distant voice Then darkness again and a silence. —Ella Crossan, ’27.

WINIFRED VON ALLMAN, Elkins, West Virginia. 14 Our Faculty These teachers of nineteen twenty-seven We think were sent right down from Heaven. Maxwell shines in all these three: Biology, Physics, and Chemistry. Nixon is the General Science ring. And he never misses a single thing. Larson in history is pleasing to most. And he has had an amazing acquaintance with ghosts. Scott combines History with melody, And leads the orchestra quite capably. Kurtz is head of it all you see. And also expounds plane Geometry. Van Valin teaches drawing and manual training— That he is successful goes without saying. Younkins has charge of the hoys while at gym, And they seem to be in pretty good trim. Mr. Diehl has drawing ways— For a knowledge of art he aptly displays. Miss McDowell is Queen of English three and four And of all the classes not one is liked more. Miss Ray in three different branches holds sway: Trigonometry, solid geometry, and algebra. Miss Stahlman has four subjects to depict: Caesar, his associates, and Business Arithmetic. Miss Bain is a wonder in figures, you see By thaf we mean figures like lOx and 6b. Miss Couch has Latin I to portray, And she does so in a most effective way. Miss Campbell makes English I quite clear. And we hope that she may long be here. Miss Chessman makes'French and Spanish explicit— And dependence in her is quite implicit. Miss Von Allman has Business English, and Arithmetic And she makes typewriting an easy trick. Miss Baker is supreme in cooking and sewing: Her classes are making a very good showing. Miss Miller is instructress in the girls gym; She makes sure that they are all in the swim. Miss McKee teaches Shorthand and Bookkeeping too: She makes it quite simple and easy for you. Miss Gwynn has charge of the eighth grade class— She gets them all ready for old V. H. S. Miss Rugh unites us in harmony. She teaches us to sing quite well you see. Now that I have had my say— I’ll stop and call it a day. —Helen Pud Olinger, ’27. 15 2 Fork in Road In the pioneer districts where roads are not well laid out one will often come to a fork in the road and is puzzled to know which way to proceed. There seems to he little difference as the road merges into the two trails, but one with experience knows that though the two ways may at first appear close together the one leads to the desired destination while the other may take the traveler miles out of his course. In the journey of life one sooner or later comes to the fork in the road and success or failure lies in the choice that is made. There comes the important time of life when one must strike out for himself. Sooner or later the arms of protection are removed and one finds himself alone, at the fork in the road where he must stand or follow his own power and determination, or the lack of it. Honesty is a noble characteristic, the lack of it is despicable. Honesty is the characteristic by which you win the confidence of others. Honesty brings happiness. the joy of knowing that one has been sincere, the peace of mind that only those who have been honest in their efforts can enjoy. You may never startle the world with your achievements, but you will certainly make progress on the sunlit way while the trail that leads to the lower shadowy ground will take you through the slough of despond, and across the pitfalls of fear. —Helen Jones, '27. 10 PETER PASQUALO AIELLO “Pete” Captain of Plymouth ’24.

And yourself shall keep the key of it.” 42 Senior Poem Another year has rolled around, And finds a new Commencement Day; Another Senior Class has come, Another class goes on its way. Once more the Seniors say farewell. To hops and proms and books; the school Will miss us for a while we know, And then go on as is the rule. It does not seem so long ago, (The latter part of twenty-three) When we with looks of frightened awe. The freshmen books and rooms did see. Our Sophomore, and Junior year. Went quickly by with work and fun. And now as school draws to a close We realize our day is done. Our day is done, we sadly leave, And some are seen to shed a tear. We hate to go, but still we’d hate To have to stay another year. —W. James Ruth, ’27. 43 The Class of ’27 When the flowers bloom in the Spring, We’ll be like those of yore; For as they die in the autumn, We’ll be with you no more. Oh! How can we leave you, The home of our happy days, And oh, how we’ll miss you, In more than a thousand ways. On September 6, 1924, something important—yes, very important—was added to V. H. S. Now, don’t laugh, because you know it is true. No, it wasn’t a swimming pool or a gymnasium. It was just our class entering V. H. S. for the first time. I suppose we did look dumb. Listen : Girls with long dresses—Imagine long dresses! How absurd!—and most all girls with bobbed-hair. But oh, that hair! All curled and made to stand out like wires. Nowadays it’s marcelled. And as for the boys,— short trousers! Imaging seeing a Freshman with short trousers. It surely is a curiosity. But nevertheless we lived through it all and now we are dignified Seniors. When we were Freshman we were looked down on by everyone. As we would go through the hall they would say: “Let the Babies through.” We are not unforget-able. We remember all those things. But we fooled them because we had others to look down on—the Eighth graders. We were not allowed to organize in our Freshman year but we did have a party, and the hall was decorated in green. When we were Sophomores we thought our “razzing days” were over. But (as everyone says) we had another thought coming. We were allowed to organize and our Class Colors were Blue and Gold. The officers elected were: President ....... Howard Klugh. Vice President......Ward Shirley. Secretary .......... Ella Crossan. Treasurer .......... Muriel Barr. Also this was the first year we were being entertained in Chapel and having the use of the Gym and Swimming Pool. The next fall we were classed in the Vandergrift News as Juniors—and proud we were. During this year we had operettas entitled “Love Pirates of Hawaii” and “Crimson Eyebrows.” The Juniors took active parts in both. The class selected Maroon and Gray as their colors for that year. The following officers were elected: President ..... William Carnahan. Vice President.....Merle Turney. Secretary ......... Winifred Love. Treasurer................. Lucille Means. On May 7, 1926, the Seniors entertained us at a party. We returned the compliment by giving a party and dance in their honor.. Both occasions had excellent programs and delicious refreshments. And now the best and happiest year of our life. How w'e will want them back! The latter part of October we held our first Senior Class meeting and chose the following officers: President ............. Bill Paul. Vice President ........ Joe Silvis. Secretary .................. Hazel Stoops. Treasurer ....... Lucille Means. Purple and Cream were selected as the Class Colors. We then had many class meetings which were necessary in order to get the caps, rings, invitations, etc. On March 14. 1927, we held a meeting and selected Rev. Meyer of the Lutheran Church to deliver our Baccalaureate sermon, w'hich will be given the last Sunday in May. We also elected Mrs. Kurtz as coach for our Class Play. For the class flower we have one of the prettiest, the Iris. Our Class motto is “Nothing is gained w'ithout work.” We have learned that by four years’ experience. And now we are going to leave our wonderful home which has sheltered us for the last four years. —Crystal McKinstry, ’27. There was a young man named Garber, Who went to work as a barber; One day in his shop The mayor he did chop, The jail this man now does harbor. —Byron Campbell, ’29. 44 (Baby Pictures—Page I.—See page 79.) Lovelearn (Conducted by Winkie Winnel ) I. Dear Miss Winkie Winnels: I am a young man of culture and wealth. I am in love with an old maid. Can you suggest the kind of money that old maids like? Coddy Gai'us. The kind of money old maids like is matri-money. II. Dear Miss Winkie Winnels: I am a young girl twenty years of age. I go about occasionally with the boys, but I love pets. I have a cat of which I think a lot. The other day I found him in time to see him devour a mouse head first. Can you tell me if it will hurt the cat and what I can do? Donna Smeltzer. There is no need to worry. It is one of the ways of nature to care for her children. Cats always eat mice head first so they can use their tails for toothpicks. III. Dear Miss Winkie Winnels: I am a rich young girl, not bad looking, but I am so terribly knock-kneed that whenever I am in company am much embarrassed. Can you suggest a remedy? Thanks. Jean McClellan. Advertise that you are an excellent Charleston dancer, then step out. You are right: the ability to sing does add much to one’s popularity. Since a term in voice culture has failed, the only thing I can sugges’t would be a strict menu of Bird Manna. V. Dear Miss Winkie Winnels: I am a young girl about to be married to an Awning dealer. People talk about it with bated breath. Do you know why people say it is risky business to marry an Awning dealer? Any information will be greatly appreciated. Blanche Waugaman. The only risk, my dear, is that he may be a little shady in his transactions. VI. Dear Miss Winkie Winnels: We are two young business men, have been in business for some time, but do not seem to be progressing very rapidly. We are married and the responsibility upon us is great. We have done everything we can think of to make business a go. We recently erected a sign “We aim to please.” Can you suggest anything that would be beneficial to us? Mutt Thompson. Bill Floyd. Take time off and have target practice. IV. Dear Miss Winkie Winnels: We are two young High School boys. We are popular with the girls, but we might be more entertaining if we could improve our voices. We have taken a term in voice culture but that did not seem to have much effect on us. Can you help us? Everett Hines. Tony Calderone VII. Dear Miss Winkie Winnels: We are-two young boys, sixty-five and sixty-eight years (respectively). We loved two young girls, LaVilla. aged eighteen, and Ella, aged twenty-one. These girls were fickle and in time gave us the air. To forget our sorrow we moved to Ala- 46 You are an author, not a tattoo artist. Keep within your profession. IX. Dear Miss Winkie Winnels: We are two elderly girls who have moved to the country to live quietly by ourselves. We have been happy, but in the early evening and at night something bothers us. Upon inquiring from Marlin, and Elmo, adjoining farmers, we learned that it was Cow Frogs. We are respectable girls and do not want to be bothered unless they are nice. Can you tell us wThat Cow Frogs are? Lucille Means. Francis Risher. Cow-Frogs are Bull-Frogs Sisters.

Now the only thing that has bothered us since we came to Alabama is how to get the water in the melons. Can you help us? Dale Adams. Miles Willard. Plant them in the spring. VIII. Dear Miss Winkie Winnels: I am a man of middle age, married, and very comfortably settled. I am an author and love my work. The only thing that imbalances my equilibrium is that I cannot keep anything on my stomach. Can you help me? Best wishes to the department.

Exchange Our exchange is limited to a few publications due to the fact that we publish the “Spectator” semi-annually. All of the papers received were fine publications, having a decided tendency toward a peppy school spirit, combined with good literary taste, love of sports, seriousness and fun; showing good, clean-minded young American school life. The following selections are taken as typical of the publications: Blue and White Newport High School. He told the shy maid of his love. The color left her cheeks, But on the shoulder of his coat, I: showed for several weeks. Trotty Veck” Leechburg, Pa. Woman to little girl—My, but that’s a nice dolly you have! Does it say “mama” when you squeeze it? Little Girl—Oh, no! You this is a modern doll. You squeeze it and it says Oh, boy!” Slippery Rocket Slippery Rock State Normal School. Stude—You told me to file those letters. Prof.—Well ? Stude— Don’t you think it would be easier to trim them with the scissors? The Dawn” Connecticut School for Boys Meridan, Conn. Judge (sternly)—Why did you brutally assault the manager of the cafe? Pat (wrathfully)—Sfure an’ oi’ve been eatin' his pie for six months, an last noight the dentist told me I had pierea. Red and White” Kittanning, Pa. Edward, why ary some women called Amazons?” Well, Anna, you know the river Amazon has the largest mouth—” But she went out apd slammed the door before he could say any more. “Gleaner” Pawtucket, R. I. Frosh—“Prof., what was the favorite recreation of the old feudal lords?” Prof.—“Riding the serf.” A bachelor from far-off Lucerne Had bushels of money to burn; He met a young shaver— His money he gave her; Why she left, he cannot discern. —Byron Campbell, ’29. 55 John Adams ............................President Alfaretta Myers ..................Vice President Dorothy Brayshaw ......................Secretary Murray Stewart ........................Treasurer Junior Notes The Juniors have been working hard since Christmas, for next year will be the last and the most important of our four years. We are trying to make the grade so that we may fill the vacancy left by the Class of 1927. The Juniors have taken part in several activities. In the inter-class basket ball games the Junior boys won from the Senior boys. This was a great day for the Juniors. The Junior Girls won from the Senior girls. For several weeks before the mid-term examinations, the chapel exercises were discontinued, but afterwards they were again resumed and as usual a great many Juniors have participated in these programs. The English classes taught by Miss McDowell and Mr. Thompson are now studying some of the classics. Every two weeks both classes give literary programs which are greatly enjoyed. Every year we have an operetta, so this year it was called “Folderols of 1927.” It was sponsored by the Girls’ Glee Club, but there were others in the cast who were not in the Club. The Junior Class was well represented in this play. The party which is to be given by the Juniors will be held in May and at this time the Juniors will entertain the Seniors. The class set one dollar and twenty-five cents as the dues for the year. And now we are ready for the fourth round, the Senior Year. —Pauline E. Klingensmith, ’28. Just Poetry We study Bookkeeping. Because wisdom is our aim; Though by just keeping books, We’ll never get any fame. Some students want to work (When they’re out of school) you know, And Bookkeeping will be handy, If over the world they go. I'll never be a poet, - Nor by drawing get any merit; And if I can’t be a Bookkeeper— Well, I’ll just have to grin and bear it. —Martha Richard, ’29. 57 I Carrie 3ane 1 Carrie Jane Stitt was born on January 7, 1910, at East Vandergrift, Pennsylvania. She attended East Vandergrift grade school for seven years. Upon her removal to Franklin Avenue she attended the Lincoln Avenue school for two years. She entered High School and continued there until the time of her death, which occurred on December 16, 1926, at the St. Francis Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She was the first member of the Junior Class to be called away by death. Friendly and kind to everyone, she is greatly missed by those who knew her intimately. 58 Law Law is the monarch of our land. Who rules us with unrelenting hand, Whenever we fail his rule to obey; He makes us how to his power and pay. So long as we do only that which is right, We do not feel the force of his might, Hut, through weakness or folly we dare transgress— He is quick to demand that this wrong we redress. Although he may rule us with hands that are stropg, He also protects us from those who do wrong. Protection for life and property— For obedience he offers us safety. —Edith Hildebrand. There was a young girl from Quebec Who would never wash her neck; A young man once met her, And then went to pet her, But left in a hurry, by heck! Byron Campbell, ’29. Down Memory Lane I wander To look for Mary Jane; So sweet was she that she melted When caught in a shower of rain, —Byron Campbell, ’29. 59 Sophomore Notes Vandergrift, Pennsylvania, May 28, 1927. Dear Mary, It has been some time since you left Vandergrift. I shall try to tell you as best I can what has happened in those five months. The Sophomore class elected officers in March, 1927. Kenneth Kriedler was elected president. You remember him—he made a hero of himself in football. Lee Prescott was chosen Vice President, Martha Richards secretary, and Frances Roush treasurer. Mr. Nixon helped us conduct our first meeting. You remember Frank Shirley? He started an orchestra, and from what I hear, it is pretty good. Frank plays the saxophone, Frank De Villing the drums, Howard Bod-well the banjo, Theodore Love the cornet, Homer Doutt the trombone, and Charles Halloway the piano. We had a class basket-ball tournament in March. In the first game the Junior boys beat the Senior boys by one point. The Freshmen girls beat our girls, but our boys made up for it and beat the Freshmen boys. Murray f’atton, Theodore Love, Bill Mohney, and Lowell Jones played forward. Frank De Villing, Ira VViant. and Howard Bodwell played guards. Last of all George Burkett and Dick McGarvey were centers. “Mid” Fritz is as popular as ever. She made a big hit one morning in a chapel-play in the part of a little kid. As a whole, we are just about as usual. Only, Nellie Martin is going with Dick Johnson now—a hard case. We expect to have a party sometime soon. We have not done much about it as yet. The years in High School are like a flower. We are now past the green stage and next year we hope to be in bud. As ever, Naomi Branthoover. Dash and Dot (Direct from England) Even if a girl is as sweet as sugar she may not be refined.

Invitations to the party, instead of bearing the letters, R.s.v.p., had the words in one corner, Require Silver Vedding Presents.” “Can you give me a good description of votir absconding cashier?” asked the de-i tective. “I believe he is about six feet, two inches tall and about 1,000 Eng. tbs. short,” replied the hotel reporter. 1 •: n ' 1 .' •� � 1 • . . - • .

See page 79.) They’ve What a WOW of a success the Commercial Class of ’27 have made of their department this year. Never before have they attacked their work with such vim and vigor, and spontaneity as well, and never have they put the Department on the map to such an extent as now. You ask—Why? There is a reason, not hard to find: it just requires a little thought. Wi:h the help of the preceeding years that started the building of Success the Commercial Students have almost finished the work. Oh. yes. the work was planned, before they started on this rocky uphill road of Commerce, but. with it all they won out in the end. They surely have done a great deal for their school. All the members of this graduating Commercial work seem to get a lot of fun out of it. When handed this work with commands to finish the tasks quickly and well, you never hear them grumbling and groaning about it. To see them rushing around through rooms and halls with their Shorthand notebooks. Greeg Writers, and wearing Silver and shiny Gold Medals for speed Done It in typing, you would think they were men and women of the great Business orld instead of students of the subjects which make them such. They never have time to get blue over the fact that they have so much to do; they’re much too busy for any such thoughts. Sometimes when the rest of us watch them smiling over their hard tasks we wonder if their motto for the year hasn't been. Smile while you work! ’ It's wonderful! I mean the fact that they have accomplished such a great deal in only nine flying months of a school year. They say they want to give credit to all who deserve to be credited for helping them. The students of these subjects owe their success to their Business Teachers who have tried hard to teach them some good Business fundamentals so they will be capable of becoming great Commercial or Business men or women. e don’t doubt they will become such. The rest of us, wish them a lot of success, a happy business career, and a great deal of luck. —Margaret Lindqvist, ’27. More Proof Than Poetry Why do I have to go to school Why must I keep the Golden Rule Why do I have to go to bed Why can’t I stay up all night instead Why does the teacher have to scold Why is Ancient History so old Why do I have to wash the dishes Why is candy so delicious Why do some people put on airs Why can’t we all just fly upstairs Why can’t I always be myself Why are best things on the highest shelf Why must 1 always have a beau Why can’t I go where I want to go? If you can answer all of these “why’s” Then you will get the Booby prize.” —Martha Richard, ’29. 65 Typewriting A Commercial Department is not complete without the typewriting division, which is necessary in the business course. Typewriting is what you make it. If you are merely taking Typewriting to get the credits, your valuable time is nothing but waste. There are eighty-six students in the typing classes—two advanced classes and two beginning classes. Typewriting I Classes or beginners, learn the keys on the typewriter so as to be able to type without looking at the keyboard. The different parts of the typewriter are then mastered and the students are ready for drills. Next are the lessons with exercises and models for letter-writing. Each letter written must be perfect before it is accepted. These beginners are advancing rapidly, for as soon as one exercise is finished, they start on the next till the lesson is complete; then these lessons are marked to their credit. Drilling is very essential, for drill aids ability, ability aids in speed and accuracy, the theme of typewriting. Accuracy first, then speed will be the result. The Typewriting II Classes or advanced students still follow in the steps of the beginners, but with more accuracy and speed. The main issue of the advanced classes is transcription. With the patience of Miss McKee and Miss Von Allman, we are making the Typewriters ring with “Dear Sir” and “Yours truly.” Everyone likes to be rewarded for his efforts, so do we typists. Award tests are given each month, and the awards go to those who deserve them. The first award is a certificate of proficiency, which is the aim of all typists just as soon as they learn to type. Higher awards consist of bronze pins, gold pins, and jewelled pins. We are proud to say that through perseverance and determination the awards of gold pins have been the highest of proficiency in V. H. S. The awards are as follows: La Villa Orr—gold pin for writing over 60 words a minute on an Underwood typewriter. Ruth Walker—gold pin over 55 words per minute—Remington typewriter- Rosececil Fitzsimmons—silver pin. over 50 words per minute—L. C. Smith typewriter. The following Remington typists were awarded silver pins, and Smith and Underwood bronze pins for writing over 40 words per minute: Violet Burnheimer Ralph Claypoole Ella Crossan Mabel Hardman Margaret Lindqvist William Luther Erma Taylor Margaret Slaugenhaupt Johanna Yakawonis Anelia Machnowski The following students were awarded certificates of proficiency for writing over 30 words per minute. Catherine Bartos Elzo Coleman Alberta Cooper Gertrude George Ralph Klein Lena Bricker Lucille Means Arabella Paul Lucy Smith Dorothy Stuchell Violet Shook Mary Schall Though we advanced students are leaving the realms of V. H. S., we leave our typewriters to the underclassmen, and hope they will cherish them and break a record for old V. H. S. 66 —Ella Crossan, ’27. Battle of The Keys V. H. S. Typewriting Championship. The (lay had come for the speed test in Typewriting Two class, the third period in the morning. Machines were dusted and oiled and keys cleaned. Papers were handed out and original copies sent by the companies were given to the pupils. Papers were put in the machine, indention marks placed, margin spaced, stops placed, and everybody made ready to go. Miss Von Allman, the teacher, got out her time-clock and whistle—and by the first tick of the next minute the whistle blew. Just like a shot out of a gun the machines began to roar for a continuance of 15 minutes. La Villa Orr ran down her first line like a shot, pulled back her carriage, started down the second. Rose Cecil Fitzsimmons was close behind while Ella Crossan was seen to go at the same rate of speed, with the exception of going back every once in a awhile to strike over where no letter was printed the first time. Looking around we found Dody Landau burning his machine with speed, while Mabel Hardman was so low that it looked as if she were trying to use her nose on a couple of keys to save time and get more speed. Violet Burnheimer was having rather a hard time with her machine but followed close behind. Back to the first we found La Villa Orr had completed her first sheet of paper and while the paper was being removed another was put in mechanically, and before the first sheet was down she had completed the first line on the second sheet. Rose Cecil Fitzsimmons, Mabel Hardman, Ella Crossan, Johanna Yackowanis, Ida Marino, Lucy Smith and Mary Jenchini by this time had completed their first sheets. Gertrude George was having it easy with her machine for she had just completed her first sheet without an error. Alex Kissel was just changing papers. Lena Bricker and Catherine Bartos had enough time between changing papers to laugh about something. Violet Shook and Elzo Coleman also had time to have a chat between changing papers on their machines. All the rest taking the test followed closely behind, when a shrill sound was heard, then silence —it was the whistle. The finals were as follows: Name Words Errors Medal Machine La Villa Orr 62 5 Gold Underwood Rose Cecil Fitzsimmons 58 6 Silver L. C. Smith Mabel Hardman 43 3 Bronze Remington Johanna Yakowanis 47 4 Silver Remington Violet Burnheimer . 40 5 Silver Remington These girls are just High School Students but we hope that in the future they may contest with the world’s champions, who are: Name Words Errors Machine George Hossfield 132 51 Underwood Albert Tangora 130 65 Underwood Barney Stapert 125 48 Underwood Minnie Regelmeyer .... 121 26 Underwood —Peter Aiello, ’27.

But this question is most outstanding: “Does a college education pay?” Yes and no, depending on many circumstances. Some of these are: The individual, the goal sought, the quality of the college, and the nature of the course. Will a classical education pay us? For law, for journalism, for the ministry, yes; for a civil or electrical engineer, no. Generally speaking there is no one who appears more helpless than the college graduate who has no aim in view and is compelled to begin the battle of life without special preparation. We must see the value of his general development and what a vast advantage this is to him in learning something well. But for the time being he is all at sea. He comes down from the mountain top where he has been delivering his commencement oration, vainly attempts to stretch his hands far enough to touch the sides of his head as he thinks of it himself, and vainly awaits for some keen-sighted individual to come along and invite him up into a position commensurate with his importance, and finally sufficient light reaches him to enable him to see that he has not yet discovered himself; he must set about learning how to do something. Had he set his goal and then in his college course marched toward it he would doubtless have derived the same mental discipline and laid the same broad foundation and at the same time been prepared to do something definite. The individual should seek to discover who he is, where he is going and how he is going. Do you know who you are in the sense of knowing your talents? If you do you have a mighty good start in life. If you do not know yourself, make it your serious business to discover yourself, and when you have succeeded set your goal in the light of that knowledge. When you know yourself and know the end sought, you are then in a position to know yourself and know the end sought. You are in a position to know how you are going to travel, whether by way of college or not and if so, what kind of a college. Success, magic, word, it appeals to us all. What does it mean, position, power, wealth? It may lead to more or less of some of these. But success is simply the development and unfolding of the best that God has given. In the process of bringing out this best, difficulties arise, but in overcoming each one more strength is developed for the next. —Helen Jones, ’27.

Martha Richards is escorted to and from school every day by Ken Kriedler. Mr. Nixon has dedicated his two gold fish Mike and Jim” to the High School Pool. Grimes Gourley attends all girls’ swimming-practices so he can write up articles on ‘Fashions for Women.’ Miss Von Allman likes ’em syncopated. Ask Miss McKee why she is struck on Carnegie Tech. Joe Silvis sewed his athletic ‘V’ on his pajamas. Joe is going to Palm Beach this summer. Helen Jones is an Editor for the New York Times. Helen gained her experience writing for the Hi-Newsette. OUR PURPOSE This is the first attempt at such a paper in our schools. The purpose of such a publication is of two fold value: to keep the public in touch with the school, and to make the students more interested in the activities of their classes and organizations. There is only one way for the Hi-Newsette” to have a successful further and a worthwhile paper, and that is for the school and the public to sincerely support it. —Lawrence Thompson, ’27. DO YOU KNOW? That our High School edits a weekly paper? That this paper is called the Hi-News-ette? That the first issue was published December, 1926? That there is an editor and five reporters on the Staff? That certain members of the faculty help with the paper by giving their time? That all the school should contribute to and read the Hi-Newsette? —Maxine Cuthbert, ’30. A SPORTSMAN 1. He must be absolutely clean in his play- ing. 2. His habits must be irreproachable. No one admires a man whose habits are not clean. 3. He must be a good loser. No one likes a fellow who bellows when he is down. 4. He must respect the ability of his op- ponents—whether they are amateurs or professionals. 5. He should always give his opponents an even break. —Grimes Gourley, ’28. 71 Laby Pictures—Page IV. See page 79.) Industrial Arts We are glad to announce that Cecil Long has been sober for the last three months, since Mr. Van Valin stopped the use of pop during school hours. Dale Adams, one of the industrious students in Drawing, treats Fitz as it she were a hre plug, always parking about ten feet away from her. Gene McCoy, our “Dribbling Imp, is now drawing plans for the future in College, where he intends to take up Domestic Science. Joe Breiter, our modern “Strangler Lewis,” has just signed a contract to wrestle Bill Floyd. This is to be given for the benefit of the “home for disabled wood butchers.” The new class anthem “Who Hooked the Thumb Tacks” has been sung all year by Mr. Van Valin, and of course the class joins in on the chorus. Oliver Tomlinson sings a very high bass, which has proved a surprise to every one. The cool-headedness that Kenneth Roush has shown this year in Drawing has been accounted ior by the fact that he has been without a hat all winter. Ronald Claypool seems to be having a lot of trouble with the plans ior his house, as he cannot find a place to put the chimney. Sherwood Cyphert started to make some blue prints in the girls' cooking room tne other day, but got so much interested in what the girls were cooking that he had to give it up as a bad job. (We don't blame him.) James Elwood, the study hall cut-up, has just entered the County Tournament for paper-wad shooters. Edwin Hetrick, our star center in basket ball, has just finished making a smoking-stand. It is rumored that he expects to use it himself in the near future. Merle Riggle, under the direction of Mr. Diehl, has just finished some wonderful models in soap which he expects to enter in the National Contest. Coddie Gailus, our class “Sheik,” is drawing up plans for his future “Love Nest,” a fine six-story building. Paul Riggle, John Briefer and Leland Balsinger have all joined the “Woman-Haters Club and expect to take an active part at the coming banquet. John Adams is preparing for a trip to Frozen Hollow this summer where he expects to spend two weeks in hunting, fishing and shooting rats. There are thirty-six men taking drawing, twelve of these being advanced students. In manual training there are one hundred fifty-one pupils enrolled. Lee Prescott, Bob Earhart, Bernard Brown, Roger Walcott, Ward Shirley, and Jackie Crossan are all making clocks which Mr. Van Valin hopes will help cut down the tardy marks. Harold Cummins is making a beautiful table which he expects to have finished by exhibition. Book-racks, hall-trees, foot-stools and pedestals are the popular projects being made by the beginners this term. Fay Beighley, who was in the hospital for several months, is back on the job again. Harold Heckman, one of our brother draftsmen, has just finished his study of music in America, but expects to make a trip to Morning Sun where he will finish his training —Harold McClelland, ’27. 75 Fashion and Beauty Hints The secret of the intense and enduring charm of the woman of today, lies largely, I believe, in the masculine influence that makes itself felt in her manner of dress. Use your beauty and make it serve you. Bid it carry out your desires to complete fulfillment; the real individuality and elegance of a woman are revealed not through the dress as she so often thinks, but through the accessories. Woman may dress so as to “play a veritable symphony” on her clothes; she may also be so tasteless as to suggest by her garments the “sound of tin cans.” In this case she would do well to hire a hall for demonstrating her musical talents. In these “corsetless days,” clothes are '.he “main-stays” of every feminine mind and the “daddies” should be well “mined” in order to carry out these purposes. With some of them looking like this ( ), and with some of them looking like this ) (, women continue to wear short skirts. In the case of the obese ones they should try l)r. McCoy’s orange juice diet. The new velvet is so light and thin it is called “ring” velvet, because when rolled up it may be passed through a ring. The really “chic” woman is one whose pastimes are used in home sewing, and original designing of garments, suited to her particular type. Real individuality lies in choosing details, carefully, especially colors; reminding me of a short story of the fellow who met a young lady, whom he addressed as follows: “Hello! you look like Helen Brown.” She: “You ought to see me in green.” Domestic Science should be considered thoroughly and made a study for those about to become brides, which brings to mind a sketch heard in medival days: “What did Romeo?” “It depends upon what Juliet.” So—Never depend upon the can-opener when attempting to prepare a meal, girls. Eve handed Adam an apple and all the girls have been handing the men folks a lot of applesauce ever since, making them feel like the symptoms on a patent medicine bottle. —Lucille Means, ’27. Kature’s Eeauty Parlors—Offers Rouges. The blush of an apple; rouge for your cheeks that won’t come off. The paint of your carrot lipstick that stays and stays. Cow’s Vanishing Cream. Of greatest importance to all girls who want to keep their youth and beauty—as well as health —is her choice of a way to care for her skin. Use it every day. Restful Sleep. One of our greatest assets to happiness, beauty and healthfulness is an eight-hour bedful of sleep mixed with a wide open window 365 days every year. Sweet Scented Perfumes. No perfumes are more wholesome, no sweet scented odors more alluring than those squeezed from fresh, luscious fruits, used in varying quantities every day. Dressing Tables. Everyone uses our dressing table, which is your dining table. Use Nature’s cosmetics and beauty preparations in big quantities and always keep the table well supplied. Face Powders. There are no better complexion powders available than those extracted from whole grain cereals. These are guaranteed to be equally as well suited for blondes and brunettes. Beauty Mirrors. Let a pair of scales reflect the height and weight of your beauty. For Bright and Sparkling Eyes. Imbibe liberally of milk—Nature’s most positive and successful eye sparkler. You should use this at least three times daily for the best results and accept no substitutes. —Selected. 77 Baby Pictures Page 1. 16. Arthur Baker 30. Crystal McKinstry 1. Fred Whitehead 17.

The club consists of 82 girls, who have taken part in the Arbor Day program, Christmas program, and the “Folderols,” an operetta, in which nearly one hundred characters were portrayed. This operetta proved to be a success, and by this, those who took part in the “Folderols were well rewarded for their effort and work.

MERLE HE-LET US GO UP TO THE 8ELFRY? SHE-- NO' I WAS UP THERE LAST NIGHT AND IT TOLLED ON ME! ------- M.C. si Band and The Band and Orchestra are finishing a very successful year under the direction of Mr. Scott. After re-organizing and practicing faithfully, the Band attended all the home foot-hall games of this season in uniforms, and one out-of-town game, that of Apollo. In addition to foot-ball and basket ball games, including the Tournaments at New Kensington and Pittsburgh, the band has played for the Town Hallowe’en parade and street dance. Through the courtesy of Mr. L. M. Orchestra Jones, manager of The Arcadia Theatre, and the aid of the High School students, the band staged a successful “Band Benefit.” The orchestra has played for chapel each week and for the Lyceum courses in addition to social functions throughout the. year. The members have enjoyed working on the variety of material covered. The orchestra and band combined in a last concert on May 6 at the High School Auditorium.

A team which was considered one of the best in the history of the high school was rounded out to play some of the best teams in this section of the country. “Turk” Turney, as captain, led his men during a hard season, coming through with a very good record, winning six games and losing three games. On Thanksgiving, the Vans played their old rivals. Apollo. They beat Apollo to the tune of 14-0. This game was the “Hoo Doo” for Apollo. The “Vans” have beaten Apollo twelve games out of thirteen, which is a record. But will we beat them next year? The following are the 1926 football letter-men:—Kriedler, Paul, McCoy, Turney (captain), Blackson, Rising, Walcott, Varano, Begolly, D. Adams, Willard, Pagliarulo, Hawk, Rearick, Shirley, Gailus and Manager Silvis. Gold footballs were given to those who were letter men for the first time. Fountain pens were given to those who had gotten gold footballs before. Manager Joe Silvis received a gold football. Coach “Bill” Younkins received a fountain pen. In Chapel, February 24, 1927, the letter men, manager and coach were presented with sweaters as a token for their service in defending old V. H. S. faithfully this season.

A team was organized equal to last year’-s team if not better. Bill Paul was elected captain, and led his “boys” through an excellent season, winning 12 games and losing 6. Vandergrift was placed in section seven of the W. P. I. A. L., playing some of the best fives in this part of the state. Vandergrift, Kittanning and Ford City battled for first place at the end of the season as there was a triple tie. Ford City beat Kittanning 33-16. Vandergrift beat Ford City 25-24. This game was one of the most terrific battles fought on the Ken High court. Dale Adams scored the winning marker, but credit must be given to McCoy and J. Adams for the win.

The rip-snorting “Vans” won their first two games over Verona and Freeport, 39-23 and 25-19, respectively, only to be subdued by Franklin High by the score of 26-12, Teams were checked one by one until the only two that remained were Franklin and Blairsville. Franklin beat Blairsville to the tune of 28-16: thus Franklin won the championship of Allegheny and Kiski Valley. The Franklin team won the first place cup and each player was given a Gold Basketball. Blairsville captured the second place cup. Ken Hi ihe consolation cup beating Falls Creek 20-15. Falls Creek won a cup for sportsmanship. Springdale got a cup for having the best cheering section outside of Ken Hi. Holzapfel, Blairsville’s center, won a cup for being the most valuable man at the tourney. Some people went home happy. Inter-Class This year after the Varsity Basketball games were over, the classes of V. H. S. chose both boys’ and girls’ teams to play a class tourney to decide the championship of the classes. Persons whose ability was to coach a “winning team” were selected to coach the teams, especially Prof. Maxwell of the Champion Boys’ Team, the Sophomores; and Miss Julia Wagner, coach of the Champion Girls’ Team, the Freshmen. This aroused excitement among the several classes of V. H. S.; consequently the students and teachers came out after school to see the hard-fought games to decide the Championship of V. H. S. Every game was played with sportsmanship and lots of cheering took place in the gymnasium. The first game was played between the Senior-Junior Boys. The Juniors won 12-11. This game was fast and the Juniors got away with an early lead and kept a-head. After the game the Seniors protested Brown, the star center of the Juniors. He was put off the team but the score stood Tourney 12-11 in favor of the Juniors. The next game was between the Fresh-men-Sophomore Girls. This game was a walkaway, ending in the hands of the Freshmen by a score of 20-4. The game had little interest because of such a high score, but “that's the game.” The girls were too good for the Sophomore lassies. The third game of the series was played between the Junior-Senior Girls. The Junior Girls were victorious, winning by a score of 7-6, thus getting a right to oppose the Freshmen Girls for the Championship. This game was fast. The fourth game was played between the Freshmen-Sophomore Boys. The game resulted in a victory for the Sophomores, 10-5, thus taking a chance to oppose the Junior Boys for Championship. The game was slow and the Sophomores played away off form, but they won anyhow. Although the Senior and Freshmen boys lost the blue suits, the Sophomores tried their luck at the Juniors with the “blues.” 91 The Juniors were supposed to wallop the Sophomores off the map, but the Sophomores, the best players in the tournament, turned tables with the Juniors by beating them to the tune of 17-16. This game had to be played in an extra period, after a deadlock at the fourth quarter, 15-15. The Sophomores had gained an early lead right off the “bat” and were not overcome until the third and fourth quarters, when the Juniors forged their way ahead. Hopes were all shattered for the Sophomores until the basket by Burkett tied the count, 15-15. Captain Patton won the game for the Sophomores with a basket, making the score 17-16 at the end of the extra period. This game was the fastest and best played game in the tourney. Orr and Atkinson held the burden for the Juniors, while Burkett, Kriedler, Patton, Love and McGarvey supported the Sophomores. The last (but not the least) game was played between the Junior-Freshmen Girls to decide the Girls’ Championship. The Freshmen downed the Junior lassies by the Why the Girls’ “Did you see the game the V. H. S. girls played with the Kikano Five team?” “No, was it a good game?” “Good? I’ll say it was, although the girls did lose. They usually do.” Who played?” Jane McClure and Harriet King entered as guards in the first two quarters.” “Did they play a good game?” “Yes, they did their best; but you know Harriet’s hair never stays the way she wants it and in a game it seems to be in every angle but the right one. Just as she was ready to snatch the ball from her Forward, her hair came down, leaving her in a trying position. But her friend Jane McClure saw what had happened and went over to help her. Meanwhile the Forward shot a basket.” “Did those girls finish the game?” “No, they substituted Helen Olinger in Jane’s position and Henrietta Drake in Harriet’s.” “Who played Forwards?” “Betty Whitehouse and Louise Haag.” “How many baskets did they make?” score of 10-3. This game was very fast but the Juniors had tough luck although the Freshmen outclassed them. The Freshmen Girls’ team by the time they are Seniors will be one of the best girls’ team ever in V. H. S. if they stick to it and fight hard. The Captains of the winning teams were presented with Loving Cups. Capt. Scott of the Freshmen team received the girls’ Cup, while Captain Patton received the Sophomore Cup. These cups were presented to the Captains of the winning teams in Chapel Thursday, April 21, by Mr. Kurtz. Results of the Inter-Class Tourney Opening Games Junior Boys—12.........Senior Boys—11 Junior Girls—7.........Senior Girls—6 Freshmen Girls—20 Sophomore Girls—4 Sophomore Boys—10 ... Freshmen Girls—5 Championship Game Freshmen Girls—10......Junior Girls—3 Sophomore Boys—17......Junior Boys—16 Team Lost! “They didn’t make any the first quarter, and Betty made one in the second quarter. I guess they would have made a higher score but one of the opposing team played mean tricks on Louise. Just when she was shooting the ball she fell over a straight pin placed there by one of the girls.” “That was a mean trick! Who was that spry Side-Center that played so well?” “That was Grace Davidson. She plays a good game every time. Elsie Richen-baugh played Center.” “When Grace got the ball after the tip-off she remembered she didn’t roll her hose. Immediately she placed the ball on the floor and proceeded to do so. When the opposing team’s Side-Center made a graceful dive for the ball she was stopped by Grace who had started to fight with her. The Referee forgot it was a Basket Ball game and counted to 10 and proclaimed Grace the winner, while the Side-Center of the opposing team lay apparently unconscious. When he found out his error he called for the players to begin playing.” Elsie plays a game with the appearance 92 of being at ease and fresh in the game, doesn’t she?” “Of course! If you would do what she did in a game you would too. She had so many of her thoughts on the game and yet when she jumped for the ball she remembered something else. She reached into her pocket and pulled out her compact and began to powder her nose, while the ball whizzed by. Miss Miller took her out of the game and put in Julia Wagner. In our opinion we thought Elsie had a right to powder her nose.” “And Elsie really is particular about her nose. How did the Forwards make out?” “Just as usual they pulled off some of their tricks. When Betty received the ball Joanna wanted to shoot and so did Betty, and they held the game up for arguing. The Referee settled the argument by tossing up a quarter. Betty had the right to shoot.” “Julia passes the ball to the forwards at all times but they can't get the ball for some reason. Can they?” “Oh yes! But Julia was usually gossiping in this game. Our guard threw her the ball and she caught it and went over to the Center and seemed to be deeply interested in what she was saying. The game was delayed till they were through.” “Did Betty play the full quarters of the game?” “Oh, yes, you see when she got tired she handed the ball to her guard to hold till she was rested.” “Was there anything unusual about the girls in the team?” “Yes—Henrietta Drake was the one who found it out. She stood staring so long at her Forward until it attracted our attention, so we went over to see what was the matter, and really that Forward had the prettiest beauty mark right on the tip of her nose, you could ever imagine. We didn’t blame Henrietta for delaying the game.” “Helen Olinger was sick just before the game, wasn’t she?” “Yes, but she felt so healthy that she bet her Forward she could out-jump her and began to put her words into action by throwing the ball in the air and jumping for it. We have no doubt of Helen’s ability to jump.” “What did Miss Miller say during the rest period?” “Not much bf anything. You see, we talked to the opposing team and they gave us some wonderful points on this season’s fads, and all we heard Miss Miller say was: ‘Play more and Fake less’, or was it: ‘Play as much as you fool around.’ Really I can’t remember. We thought we played a wonderful game. Don’t you think so?” “Yes! And I think I’ll come to see the next game.” -J. J. Y., ’27. Gymnasium In the Gymnasium, instruction is given in games, marching, volley ball, basket ball, jumping, bar work and rope climbing. Coach “Bill” Younkins is in charge. Swimming A good many pupils are able to handle themselves in the water by this time. Some know the different crawls, diving, methods of swimming, and how to save a person who is drowning. —Murray Patton, 29. Tumbling With Tumblers Tumbling was organized before Christmas. A lively group are interested in this sport. They are instructed by Prof. Van Valin. He teaches the tumblers flip-flops, pyramids, rolls and other stunts. They practice Tuesday and Thursday evenings after school. A tumbling exhibition will be given at a later date. 94 “You gotta keep movin’ to get anywhere.’ You gotta You gotta You gotta You gotta You gotta You gotta You gotta You gotta You gotta You gotta You gotta You gotta You gotta You gotta You gotta You gotta You gotta keep keep keep keep keep keep keep keep keep keep keep keep keep keep keep keep keep movin’ to get Anywhere.

This Spectator is- not the book we started out to make, nor the book we would compile were we doing it over again, nor the book we confidently expect anothers year’s to be. But if, after its first burst of ephemereal popularity and its stealthy but sure progress to attics-to-be, it is occasionally brought down and the charm of the quaint old book (for it will be quaint then) rolls the clouds away for a time, helps subside the jar of nerves, or gives renewed consciousness of power from basking again in the rosy light of that scholastic kingdom where all were kings, this Spectator has not been a failure. And for us all, this class of 1927, I can ask nothing more than that, as future classes thump this book, it may be said o-each of us as our pictures pass in review, “There is a worthy alumnus of V. H. S.” —W. J. R., 17. 115 THE SPECTATOR rht ©1ft Shop Class Jeweler 1927 116 THE SPECTATOR Not the Right Tense M iss McDowell—Is this sentence correct? I walk through the camp.” Chuck E.—No ma’am.

Howard K.—What do you suppose the scrub-team is for? Solicitor—Will you help the Ladies’ Home? Hank A.—Sure! Where are they? Freshie—Maw, they’re putting in an electric switch up at school. Mrs. Thomas—There’s no end to them new fangled ideas. The birch rod was good enough in my day. Merle—I hear he is a contractor. Jim—Yeh!

His wife—Yes, Si; you might bring me a few jars of that traffic jam I see advertised in the papers. Alex Kissel has accomplished wonders in Shorthand. The other day we were told to take down the least we could and get away with it. Alex handed in a blank paper. I saw a loving couple By a “short hand” note-hook screened I could not help but notice How Singular they seemed. Helen Jones—What makes you think it was quicksand?
