It stands before us, this noble edifice, as a mausoleum to edu- cation, artistic, beautiful, the crowning work of art. Let us stand for a moment and View its massive structure. Behold how the twin towers loom into the sky, torn by enraged clouds of passing storn1s. Note the massive walls, loopholed by innumerable windows, thereby vouchsaiing light and air to knowledge-aspiring youths and maidens who dwell therein. The wide, spacious doors, too, add rather than detract from the unique picturesqueness of the building. l .-N... Now, fellow-lovers of the beautiful, our eyes have feasted copiously upon the exterior of this noble structureg let us enter and gaze upon the hidden marvels, obscured from the eye of the passing public, as all treasures have been since the beginning of man. Let us gaze upon the machine of education as it purrs smoothly thru the work of a school day. We are now within the sacred portals. This vast deserted audi- torium before you throngs with bright eyed students in the early hours of the school routine. Here they offer up their devo- tionalsg listen as the death knell of sluggard pupils dwell- ing in the danger line, is sounded: bask in the rays of glowing orationsg exchange conhdences on the latest fash- ionsg and try in frantic haste to cram the unprepared lessons into craniun1 vacuums. It is likewise the Inquisition for those hope-aspiring orators of the student body, who appear before their fellowmen in behalf of some object or 10 THE DRAGON other to find that the tortures of the ancient arena were mild, compared with chapel speeches. Yes, that elevated mass of timbers, gazing at you so serenely in its now de- serted condition, has witnessed the downfall of many high hopes. Below its rising side, you see many stands, groaning under the weight of great mu- sic. These are mute symbols of the High School's greatest organization, the Orchestra. In this organization, friends, you find the greatest of the school's musical talent, the coming genius for world musi- cians. Now they satisfy themselves in bewitching their school friends with their art: later, the world will bow down to their prowess. But let us tarry no longer, let us seek the still hidden gems. XVe will fol- low this twisting trail into the depths of the building and see the elves and fairies in their work and play. Lo! we are in the workshop of the busy gnomes. Softly now, lest thou disturb their rapt attention and break their scene of bustling activity. Is it not alluring, this chamber of strange contrivances? Note the efficiency of the place. Solomon in all his glory, had not a fairy land like this. Here the magic art of Aladdin reigns. You wish a thing and prestol the wonderful machines scattered here and there put your wish into actual existence. Obstacles are of no avail in this realm of activity. They are met and vanquished by the pervading spirit, I'll find a way or make one, and the work glows in its pursuit. Now that we have seen dexterity and ingenuity at its best, grace and strength of gymnasium work will take the limelight. A troop of High School lassies now hold the l floor, waving their wands with H the dainty grace of their early fairy ancestors. Gentle and angelic they look now, but in the strife of their inter-class basket ball games, THE DRAGON 11 this aspect is sadly lacking. More like the ancient Amazon is their demeanor then. But let us tarry yet awhile and await the coming of the youth- ful Apollos. A class is soon due upon the floor. Meanwhile, friends, let me remind you that you are in the lists where many a gallant contest has been fought. Varsity and Class teams have contended upon that Hoor and many memorable bat- tles have been recorded in the school archives. Aha, they come! the youthful proteges of the insti- tution. They too, are armed with the fragile wand but their aim is not to develop grace Qthough no boy regrets pos- sessing such a traitj but to develop their latent strength and obtain recreation from the monotony of their school rou- tine. Our wonder increases as we advance, friends, and will increase still more in the course of our tour. We are now in, what the pupils term, the hash counter. The peaceful sereneness of its pres- ent state is by no means the general aspect of the place. A rush greater than the famous gold rush of '48 can be seen any noon as the pupils issue forth, pell-mell in their search for grub. But if I mistake not, savory odors are already issuing from the regions of the kitchen. Let us descend upon the commissary and view the food in the making. Here you l2 'I' H li see the domestic side of school life. Here the feminine side of the house learn the intricate arts of cooking. The future women of America ply their art and discover that the bis- cuit can be made as an edible rather than as some newly invented missile to be hurled at an enemy to crush him with its weight. This discovery has led to better health and concord in the world at large and has been a great uplift to the cause l DRAGON of humanity in the past century. Now that we are viewing the domestic side of life, let us ascend this narrow causeway and visit the realm of sewing' machine and needle. Here you see the lass diligently seeking to learn the difference between the school-boy's stitch ands s ss. Oh well, you who are bettter versed in the art than an old bachelor like myself, know what I'm driving at. This science, I'll admit is beyond me. Hut come, we will assay yet further in our inspection. The next object of interest is this vast room which now lies before you. 'Tis known as the Study Hall and provides a convenient place for the tired student to forget his troubles in the enjoyment of an hour's nap. It is also a haven for general conversation and serves as a trystingg place for the enamored ones. Many exam- ples of these various pastimes can be seen if you will let your I N . 5 THE DRAGON 13 glance sweep over the spacious room. 'Tis true you may need a tele- scope, for they are all well versed in the art of of deceiving the average eye. We will leave them now, they enjoy not interruption. i Our next stop is an Eng- lish room. Here a scene of calm, peaceful study meets our view. How could it be other- wise? The class before you is of the Seniors, and completely enraptured they are, in their pursuit of Burke's jaw-break- ing words. Detract not their attention from their work, for 'tis the teacher's joy, this class of serious minded upper class men. One more flight of stairs lies before us and leads us to the myste- rious realms ofthe Black art. Fortune is good. We are in time to view a class at work. These are the would-be scientists. Some pur- sue Bugology, some Physics, but these before us are the aspiring chemists. Their work is alluring. Behold, we see them take a tube of brilliant- colored substance, pour in a liquid from a neighboring bottle and-hokus pokus, the liquid becomes transparent. Marvel- ous are the workings of this art. But cease! an alarm sounds. Everythingis forgotten in haste .LLL lp 1 and the pupils pour from the building. 'Tis a Ere drill, noble friends, well executed, efficient and orderly. T1 rr Our tour is now ended. You have beheld the wonders of twentieth century education and witnessed the smooth turn- ing of the wheels of knowledge. Treasure your experience, for, as I stated before, you have viewed the eighth wonder of the world, The VVarren High School. H. I. L. FHCUL Y R. T. ADAMS, A. B., A. M. Superintendent P. W. M.

Seninr Eingraphieu ELIZABETH .ToHNsToN- Laugh and the world laughs with you, is her motto. That is Why she is as Happy as the day is long. ELLA CAMPBELL-Ella came from Clarendon-that far away town, so we know her little. Perhaps it is because she is so quiet. ALICE FAGLEY-Alice is a faithful worker of a quiet and unassuming nature. She attends most of our parties and is a loyal adherent of the Senior Class. AMELIA EDIN-Amelia graduated at Sugar Grove with the class of '16. The merry twinkle in her eye betrays to us that she is full of fun even tho' she is rather quiet. HPIKEH HULTMAN-A solitaire in a fourteen carat setting, but they left some soap in the prongs under the skin. Pike is one of the finest chaps We have, but it is hard to get him out of his shell. LEON SIGGINS-TO the Senior Class, a lad there came, ' Who in a year acquired fame. In all athletics very fine, And also in the cooking line He acquired art, and so now he Is as popular as he can be. RED PHILLIPs-Happy-go-lucky-a man to the heart, When Uncle Sam beckoned, our Red did his part, And joined the navy to fight for his land. Now here's a true Senior, let's give him the hand. l 34 THE DRAGON Sveninr Eingraphiva FRANZ CLIQUENOI- Well, who is this bean-polish stick? He doesn't resemble St. Nick. He's a Wonder at football, Oh! List' to his footfall. It must be our own Click, Click, Click. LEONARD CRANDALL- Lenny Crandall's a guy Who aims Way up high-- Has a gift they call shooting the bull. He tells stories galore ' And makes puns by the score, He does things without aid of pull. GEORGE BUTTERFIELD- George is now S1eeman's beau, He keeps track of our dough And we take him wherever We go. He can handle a hoe, But you don't hear him crow. He's a chap who works steady and sloW.' TOM MOONEY- Tom Mooney is quiet, He lives on a diet Consisting of beefsteak and nails. He keeps on a-working. Nor once thinks of shirking. He surely will not rob the mails. H. LILJENBERG- He's a fair sort of chap With a good enough map, But he's there with the goods it's a cinch He's the sort of a guy That 'you like to stand by. He's the kind that don't flunk in a pinch THE DRAGON 35 D. PHILLIPS- Has a form like a Britisher tank, They call him the Seventeen Crank. But the things that he's done, Why he's there on the run. You'1l admit he's outspoken and frank. H. RoBER'rsoN- Though a shy sort of fellow, Hugh doesn't know yellow. He's white to the core--a true blue one. Has red blood in his veins, Goes indoors when it rains. He's a man's man if I ever knew one. WILLIAM GARDNER-Here is Willie of the loud laugh. A terror to every teacher, a menace to a study period, a perpetrator of das- tardly plots and a general nuisance is William. He is fat and if he were caught at a time when he wasn't laughing, it would be the first time. .Tust the same, Billious has us all stopped when it comes to high marks. LEON TARBOX-The smallest fellow in the class and one of the most popular. Wherever little Leon is sticking around you can watch for a good time. He has worked hard this year and deserves all the good marks that he gets. He will leave Warren the week after Commencement to join his parents in St. Marys, W. Va., where they moved recently. We will all mourn a good friend. MARSHALL HANSEN-Goodnight! Here's Fat. Suffice it to say that if it weren't for Fat the Senior Class couldn't run. He is certainly the biggest asset we have. WILLIAM BURKHART-Bill has just lately taken to parting his hair in the middle. Isn't he sweet? However, he is another of the kind that win their way in this world by a pleasing personality, and, despite the horrible offense of splitting his hair on top, he is a much needed Senior. CLINT DENSMORE-He is nearly as short as Tarbox, but not quite. A sunny disposition and a keen sense of humor go hand in hand to make up Clint. He has taken a minor position in one of our lead- ing Banks and is rapidly nearing the Presidency. Here's to you, Clint. 36 THE DRAGON BYRON KNAPP-Everybody likes Bub . We sometimes wonder why but we waste our time. We just like him anyhow. He has two great and unpardonable faults. One is, that he always chooses an inopportune time to shave 'and then appears as he himself says unshaven just about the time that a party is being planned: another is, that he tries to bluff his German. Tut! tut! Byron, naughty, naughty. LEWIS SIGWORTH-WTHII, lanky and good natured. A first-class scout and a first-class fellow, although he not very good at bluffing Virgil. ABE GLASSMAN-Everyone likes Abe for his sunny disposition. He always attends the class parties and adds to an evening's enter- tainment. ' EDWARD DENIGAN-Although Edward is quite sot in his ways he is a favorite with everyone. The only trouble he has had in grad- uating has been training his hair to stay down for Commencement night. REBECCA GEALY- Diminutive but-oh my! Rebecca is one of the busiest members of the class. In fact, she gets up before break- fast to get to school at 8:30, that she may crowd in one of her many subjects. PEARL LUND-Her character shines out in her face--sweet, loving, and pure. Our class couldn't exist without our vice-president. She hopes to become a nurse, and we know she'1l make a good one. ELIZABETH WEAVER-Elizabeth is a shark. She's always busy-if not at school, why at the store where she is fast learning to bake. Some day she may become a Baker , who knows? MARIAN B. SMITH- Laugh and grow fat is Marian's motto. Al- though she is very jolly, she can be serious too. Marian's execu- tive ability, especially on refreshment committees, has been greatly appreciated by hungry boys. REBECCA GLASSMAN-- Better late than never. We don't see Becky very often for she is so very busy with her music. We hope that when she gets thru school she will have a lenient boss , because it is so very hard for Becky to get up early. FLORENCE PETERSON- Hail fellow, well met is the way everyone feels when Pete's mischievous face appears. THE DRAGON 37 EMMA THELIN-Emma has never quite grown up, tho' we did see her hair up on her eighteenth birthday. It seems that at about that time she tried smiling at the boys! She is a perpetual grind and we suppose that is why she is so thin. Em's motto is, Do your duty or your duty will do you. ANNA BRoUGHToN-Anna came to our school last fall from Sugar Grove. She is very pleasant and ever ready to help those in need. Anna is sure to make the class of '17 famous by her culinary art. MARIAN LIND--Marian is a good sportg but, because of her work both at school and at home, she is always too busy for foolishness. Her aim is to be a nurse, though she is a proficient stenograher. MILDRED OHMAN--She graduated at'Russell last year, but because she wishes to be a perfect school mistress she is graduating with our class of 'l7. She seems very quiet, but had she been here longer we could have coaxed out the fun which dances in hereyes. LEAH SIRES-Leah is tiny but she's all right. We are glad she is in the '17 class, for we haven't any twins besides her and Pearl. ESTHER SELANDER e- To be sure, she is modest, but we need her just for that-to balance the more vivacious ones in the class. ANNA NIELSON-Active in all the school affairs and always trying to do her best for herself and for others, Anna has been especially useful in her capable handling of the Girls' Y. W. C. A. Club. FLoRA BARR- She may be a terrible flirt, But she won't treat a fellow like dirt. She's a regular kid, And I take of my lid To the girl Education can't hurt. LEPHA COOPER-Lepha first made her appearance in Warren this year. We are very glad she came, for she is a girl of sweet and lovable disposition and one of the most capable in the class. We hear that Lepha's smile has turned the head of one of our Senior boys, and we blame him not for deciding to become a farmer. FRANCES KLEPFER-Frances, alias innocence, is an admirable type of girl. She is pretty, but not conceitedg merry, but not boisterous. These traits, coupled with her genial manner, make her a general favorite. 1 V .IW e 38 THE DRAGON RUBY STRICKLAND-There is an intrinsic value to most jewels, and we have found it in Ruby in her literary ability. Her motto is, Follow the Gleamf' but we know that she always carries the gleam with her. KATHYREN HUBER-To know her you must go more than half way to meet her, but we all like her because we know the smile is there- in her heart. MILDRED KLEPFER-A most important link in our chain of virtues would be missing if Mildred were not with us. She possesses that rare talent of loving everybody-even a Clie. MAYBELLE BAIRSTOW'-XIVC agree that Maybelle's voice lives up to her name, as we can always tell when Maybelle is approaching. She is one of our few blondes. Her only real fault is her love for herself. ADDA BRooKs- She has black hair and is tall, W With the prettiest cheeks of all. Shy and modest is her way. Could you imagine Adda gay? ETHEL SUTTER-Ethel is an experienced graduator. Last year she finished her musical education, and so was rightly dubbed our class musician. She is the capable accompanist of the orchestra. FANNIE KORNREICH-Vivacious, ambitious, auspicious, sanguine Cshusj. Fannie likes to read: but not book reports. She has an ever-ready shrug and smile for all. MORA SMITH--A stranger sees a merry, boisterous, athletic girl. A Friend sees, beneath it all, the heart and mind of a Philosopher. FLORENCE DALLAS-Twinkling eyes and sparkling dimples. Flor- ence likes gum and the boys, perhaps it's because gum and the boys like her. PEARL DOVE- Where was Pearl when the lights went out? -at the skating rink. Pearl shows her loyalty to the class by attending all our class parties. She is happy as the day is long. CLARABELLE WILLIAMSON-' 'Of their virtues, modest men are silent. We admit that Clarabelle is one of our modest men, and none of us but Smithy really knows her virtues, but we know she has them, for how else could she be in the class of 'l7? THE DRAGON 39 ANNA SWANSON-A fine combination of sense and humor. Others may think her quiet, but we know Anna as a mighty fine all-round- scout. HAZEL SCHWING- A gentle maid of modest mien. Although the Schvvings are as alike in appearance as two nuts, the hazel-nut is the most retiring. Nevertheless, our Hazel is not always so meek: every once in a While she goes off on a little Schwing of her own. I MARION SLEEMAN-Kind and helpful, loyal and friendly. Father's advice to .Marion is My child, be a man. And Marion follows his advice even if it leads to a man's clothing store. ALICE SCHWING- You're a great big, blue-eyed baby. Although Alice is champion mischief-maker, she has a talent for winning hearts. DOROTHY HOSKINS-Dorothy is kind and helpful to all, and has been valuable as a committee member. At our parties, she plays the important part of little girl and chief jester. MARGARET HOLMBERG- Faith, Hope, Charity. Those who have missed winning the intimate friendship of this maid have missed one of the rarest jewels Fortune will ever offer. ETHEL OLSEN-Ethel isn't very big-perhaps that accounts for her tiny voice. Her cheeks are pretty, And her thoughts far from empty. So just you listen and watch out, Or you won't get what she's talking about. ANNA MARY HULING-Although Anna Mary has been with us but two years, we have learned to value her common sense and good judgment. She is a shy, young maiden, who always has a smile and blush for everyone, and her cool disposition proves that people with red hair are not always quick-tempered. EsTER OLNEY- What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice And everything nice. That's what little girls are made of. HELEN ARMsTRoNG- Stately and tall and dusky of hue. The Seniors extend best wishes to you.

Of course it is perfectly unnecessary to mention who this clique was, as for four years the signatures of the individuals in this assemblage were So-and-So '17, Just as an example of what we were to do in future years, we gave a demonstration of Class Spirit and had, in our Freshman year, one of the biggest parties that was ever held at Marion Sleeman's farm. This party was held in the early Fall and took form as a corn roast. As to the other events of that year, they grow dim, outlining however, an entertainment in the High School by the Seniors. In our Sophomore year we were a divided faction owing to the semi-annual promotions. For the tirst half of the year we mingled with the regular Sophomores and for the second half had the Juniors for our companions. As the things we did were many, and as the affairs were divided between classes, allow me to mention just a few of the most notable occurrences while in the Junior class proper. On December 29, 1915, a sleigh ride to Elizabeth Johnston's home was participated in, during which, one member lost his reputation tl mention no names, possibly you rememberj. January 28, 1916, was the date of the great Junior-Senior party. It was held at the High School, and beyond the regular good time, J. Anderson Scho'deld's movie play, shines like a star. That was a great entertainment. Our St. Valentine's Party was held at Rebecca Glassman's home March 3. Say, Bub, do you remember the little heart cakes, the heart shaped helpings of ice cream that we had, and the Arrow collars that all the fellows wore? A week after this party, a sleigh ride to Russell was in order. VVe journeyed to Hotel Adams where we danced and ate to our heart's con- tent, then saw Warren again in the wee small hours. THE DRAGON 41 The first Outing Club party was held April 28. The article in the Blue and White in regard to the party says that the most notable features of the party were Mr. Junkins' four-in-hand tie and Mr. Lei- dig's safe arrival. Now to our Senior year. The first act of note was the placing of our 1917 pennant between the towers of W. H. S. on October 12, 1916. The results of this act led to the second Class scrap in the history of the High School. I fear I am ambiguous. It was a first class scrap even if it Was the second Class scrap. The Seniors, of course, came out the victors, all honor to Fat Hansen. On October 27, one of the best parties of the year was held at Byron Knapp's home. It took the form of a Masquerade and was what might be called some party. Phillips will testify as to the quality of the cider and we'll testify as to the quantity he drank. The Class suffered a relapse from then until December 9, when we again hied ourselves to the Outing Club and got sick on some Hibernian stew concocted by our most horrible cook, Bub Knapp. Some new dances were demonstrated that night and also some new dancers, much to the misery of the girls. January 19, again found us journeying to Elizabeth .Tohnston's on a sleigh ride. After being entertained, as only Elizabeth can enter- tain, we started for home, but we were having such a good time fespecially Knappj that we bribed the driver to take us past Warren and on to Starbrick. I don't think any of the Seniors on that ride will ever forget it. Now comes into our history the banner day for the Seniors, Feb- ruary 22. On that day, the Carnegie Glee and Musical Clubs gave a concert at the Theatre under the auspices of the Class. A dance was given at the .Conewango Club immediately after the concert. The whole affair, concert and dance, was a tremendous success, and after paying for the Theatre and Club, we were able to place over eighty dollars to our credit. Following this great event, the February program was given. The selection of the double quartet, while slightly off color, was hugely enjoyed by everyone. The Senior boys and girls always endeavor to please. The next three parties are the last ones recorded in our history. Y :f 1,1 ' i 42 THE DRAGON The party at Hoskins'. the one at BairstoW's, and the one at Crandall's. All these affairs were highly pleasurable and We are now looking for- ward to the last party at Cooper's at Lottsville. After an eventful four years the Seniors are leaving. We hope they will not soon be forgotten but be remembered as the very best class ever graduated from Warren High School. -L. I. Crandall. Swim' Superlatinea Bugs Girls Class Crank D. Phillips R.

Olney THE DRAGON Qllaaa Harm. '17 A ship has sailed the boisterous seas Has ploughed through waves and surfg With flag unfurled to catch each breeze, With marvelous strength yet splendid ease, Has held its own on earth. just four years has it kept its course. Four years since, quite unseen, It ventured out with growing force To sweep the deep and and find the source Of all that glittering sheen. One last and lingering look the crew Must needs spend on the past, Ere it should vanish with the dew Of childhood's morning, pierced' through By youth's glad noon at last. For, though the harbour lights grew pale, And glimmering pierced the spray, The wind that filled the shrouds and sail Was but the power to avail A world of promise, gay. So on and on the breakers bore The craft of seventeen If angry seas should round it roar They hindered not, but helped the more To reach the final scene. And as the ship sailed e'er afar Upon its golden quest, A One aim allured, one guiding star Shone in the zenith o'er the bar Of conquered trials, blest. Upon that star each eye was turned And, 'board the vessel there, Each heart with vague desires burned To master all, that all concerned Might reach the vision fair. At times, 'tis true, the Gleam grew dim And more than once was lost As youthful Folly, with a vim Enticed the crew to follow him Nor count the fatal Cost. Thus, days and weeks and months sped by, And months grew into years. The years were fourg the time was nigh When they would reach with cheer and sig The port of joy and tears. h THE -DRAGON The port of joy and tears and sighs, For fate has deemed it how The nearer we approach the prize, The brighter it seems to our eyes, The more we shade our brow. Brave HSeventeen', has reached the goal, Has anchored safe at last. But it is the harbour shifting shoal? The star, mirage, to take the toll Of lives lost in the blast? The harbour is the hungry sea. No sheltering arms await. Have all these years proved but to be Mere chains to waste and bind the free Then, leave them to their fate? No longer can the threadbare sail Propel against the blast. The ship has weathered every gale Fulfilled its aim, nor did it fail, But death has come at last. The waves will wash above its deck, Will seize its very heart. Four years it answered every beckg But, from the ship without a wreck, The crew, at last, must part. And so each sailor, all alone, Must launch his tiny craft, And out upon the world-wide zone Must sail the sea of life, be thrown Where'er the wind may waft. Then here's a tear and here's a song And here's a cheer and sigh For 'iSeventeen of three-score strong, Who reached the goal, but bore along Gloriously to die. But here are more, both songs and cheers, That leave no room for grief t For those who face the coming years Who launch their crafts, nor hold to fears Of grounding on the reef.- And as they sail the sea of life, Wherever they may roam, Our prayers will follow, e'en tho rife With woe, that they, when through with strife, May anchor safe at home.

Uhr Bug Srnuta nf Amerira In America the Scout movement was not legally incorporated until February 8, 1910. Since then it has progressed with marvelous leaps and bounds until now, in less than one year there are 3,000,000 Boy Scouts in the United States and 4,000 leaders of Troops called Scout Masters. That Census of the Boy Scouts was taken in 1912. Bands of Boy Scouts can be found in every state of the Union, in Panama, in Cuba, in Hawaii, in the Philippines. The movement is sweeping over the country with an enthusiasm and impetus, even greater than in England. In fact, as General Baden-Powell stated, The vast stretches of territory, woods and streams-ideal camping grounds, give the movement a greater future in America than ever l .Cr THE DRAGON 59 England can hope for. Yet wherever the movement spreads, it is the magicians wand that turns boys into upright, honorable, chivalrous, kindly, self-reliant, useful, and patriotic men. We should have many more troops of Boy Scouts in VVarren, itself. -Richard Smith fSub-High J.

Earl Ward The Alumni Association of the Warren High School has nearly one thousand members. These are scattered all over the United States, with several in foreign countries, while many of the leading citizens of our own city can look to W. H. S. as their Alma Mater. Of the younger members, about lifty are attending higher institutions of learning. Several of our illustrious Alumni have taken time from their busy lives to write us letters describing their various activities or giving advice to those who are following in their footsteps. All of these let- ters, which are printed in part below, are extremely interesting. From the Pennsylvania College for Women we have a very enter- taining message from Martha Crandall, 'l3: It has been a wonderful experience, attending college for four splendid years. Would you-could you-believe it, the work has been positively interesting. Through a wide choice of subjects which it is the privilege of a college curriculum to oifer, fields of knowledge, hitherto unsought, are opened up, new powers are gained, higher ideals are formed, and a democratic spirit is developed. And the association with girls from all parts of the United States, not to mention one from India, has been influential and broadening. Q' 'll ll Dramatics play a vital part in college life. I should dislike to frighten you by telling you that our combined Dramatic and Classical Clubs presented a Latin play in the original, but if you could have heard such a comment as 'The best I have ever seen by amateursf by no less a critic than Dr. Bennett of Cornell University, author of our own delightful and thoroughly beloved CPD Latin Grammar, you too would have felt that this supreme effort of singing 'Arma virumque THEPADRAGON 61 cano' in absolute rhythm would not have been in vain. CN. B. Dr. Bennett is ever so much more attractive than his book.j if if if fEditor's Note-We regret exceedingly that three-fourths of this refreshing message had to be eliminated for lack of space.j Several of our Alumni have seen active service on the Mexican border. Among them, Ralph Clicquennoi is back in harness again at the University of Pittsburgh, and sends us the following interesting information : When it comes to a consideration of the preliminary training I received I cannot speak too highly of 'Good Old Warren,' for I honestly believe that, upon entering the University of Pittsburgh, I was better grounded in fundamentals than a majority of men from the best of the so-called Prep Schools. In this instance I think I was no exception for, I believe, all of my classmates, who took up College or University work, made good without a single exception. Besides myself there are two other Warren men at Pitt. Ray- mond T. fBaldyj Briggs is making his mark in the Medical Depart- ment and has a year of varsity football and basket ball to his credit. .Iames H. Messerly is a comer in our Engineering School. 'Mess' is a member of the editorial staff of 'The Owl,' is President of his class in the Engineering School, and was also a member of the Swimming team. Modesty forbids me to say much about myself, but I have not fared so badly. I will graduate next spring if I cannot get into any branch of National Service. It was my good fortune to be selected president of my class thruout the University beside being two years on the varsity football squad. I hold the Sporting Editorship of the Pitt Weekly and was chosen by the University Authorities to head the Em- ployment Bureau upon my return from the border last year. Besides my Collegiate Fraternity it was my privilege to be elected to our Hon- orary Activity and Scholastic Fraternity. Warren is not the only patriotic place in the countryg so we learn in this letter from Edith Newmaker, who is a successful student at Allegheny College: Since the declaration of war, Allegheny has been all patriotism. Our curriculum has been changed in many waysg courses have been added, and others modifded, so as to include subjects necessary in mili- tary training or Red Cross work. ll if if if Most of the 62 THE DRAGON fraternities have given up their formal parties, and the money Qabout 5575.00 from each fraternityj has been given instead to the Red Cross Society. 'Q if 'G The unusual stir and unrest among the students has much less- ened the interest in regular college work. A similar condition seems to be true in many of the colleges. Last Saturday, a Conference of College Presidents, called by the Government, was held in Washing- ton, D. C. President Crawford of Allegheny, who attended, reports that they were urged by the Secretary of War to keep in college all men under conscription age and also those pursuing technical or scien- tific studies. The need of keeping the colleges and universities in op- eration was emphasized, and they were urged to seek the enrollment of an unusually large number of High School boys next year, to H11 the vacancies being made by the older college men. We have one letter from the University of Pennsylvania, in which Harold C. Putnam, W. H. S. '13, gives some unusual views upon high school courses. He says in part: From my own experience I may say with assurance that the col- lege students who are overworked, or who find in a short time that college life doesn't 'suit' them, are the ones who have loafed in High School and who consequently are handicapped at the start by inade- quate preparation. Anyone who works reasonably hard in High School, especially in W. H. S., will have no difliculty in college, provided he possesses normal intelligence. 1' 1' 'K 'F 'K I don't wish my successors in W. H. S. any bad luck, but I strongly advise them to take four years of Latin, even if they don't find it as easy as hammering nails or sewing on buttons, those exceed- ingly stimulating mental CFD exercises. High schools are supposed to be devoted to education, not to the training of carpenters and seam- stresses, and Latin in my estimation is the most valuable subject on the curriculum when its study isn't vitiated by 'illigitimate aids'. I heartily subscribe to the statement of a prominent college president that there is too much training and not enough education in American schools. The Editor-in-Chief of the 1915 Dragon, Florence M. White, '15, is preparing herself to teach, at Clarion State Normal School, and sends us her impressions of her new surroundings: If a person wishes to become a teacher, I think there is no place THE DRAGON 63 Where he can get the spirit and enthusiasm except at a Normal School. Here We are born and bred to teach, and plan for the school We will have when we finish. All our subjects are adapted to methods work, and we are forced to change our view point from that of students, to teachers. It is hard-for While We are student teachers, we are still students. While I think a Normal School is tine for those planning to teach, it is not worth while for anyone to miss High School training, experi- ence and life. Often times I long for the days I spent in W. H. S. I did not realize at that time that they were happy days, but when you come to a place Where social life is limited, you begin to know you were not so ill treated in High School as you sometimes thought you Were. Appreciation of the value of High School education is the dominant note also of this moralizing letter from Stuart L. Sonne, '14, who is in the midst of a successful course at the University of Michigan: At the beginning of my Junior year at college, I realize what the training I received in High School has meant to me. Education is life, We are told, and life is experience. But that is not allg for one must have a solid foundation if he is to breast the Wave of life. I have found that it pays to study and understand a subject. Master your High School studies, my friends, and you will find it easier to attack the Work of college, or the Work of any branch you may in- tend to follow. Every person should aim at a higher education. This is an age of specialization. Try to find your place in it. Then 'dig' good and hard, for competition is the spice of life. Make use of your scholastic opportunitiesg they are many a gold mine. I can frankly say that only in doing this, will you be prepared to enter into a new life.

Out of the whole schedule, there were only three teams that were able to cross Warren's goal, while Warren scored in every game. The following shows the score made by Warren and its opponents: 'lWarren Oil City... . Warren Edinbor0. . . fWarren Ridgway. .. Warren Olean . . . . . Warren ffWarren.. .. .. Oil City .... Olean .. .. . . X'Warren Edinboro. . . Warren Meadville . . Warren .Tohnsonburg 257 67 fGames at Warren. It takes but little pondering to arrive at the conclusion that the success of the team was mainly due to Mr. Leidig's splendid coaching. In him, Warren can boast of having the best coach that can be found in any other high school, for he has shown that he can produce a team out of practically nothing. His success is due to his personal char- acteristics. In the first place, he comes out on the field, clad in football togs, and participates in practice. He shows the candidates the fine points of the game by actual example, and before entering a game, he instills the players with a iighting spirit by a short heart to heart talk. Thus encouraged, the players work hard, each player doing his part until the final blow of the whistle. Another factor that contributes to our success is that the boys have never quarreled among themselves, but have always encouraged one another if a mistake has been made. But let us not forget that a great part of the success was due to the second team. These second string men deserve great praise, for it was they who had to stand the hard knocks of the Hrst team. Were it not for the scrubs, the Hrst team would be useless, inasmuch as 68 they would not have any team to scrimmage with, and scrimmage is what makes the team. The trouble in most high schools is that there are not enough men to make up two teams or that the fellows do not care to play, if they can't play on the 'first team. Not so with our high school, for every night throughout the season, there are from twenty-tive to thirty fellows on tl1e Held, ready to play on either side that they are placed. Generally, the iirst team man has had a year's experience on the scrub, for it is this experience that makes him worthy of being placed on the Varsity. The men who have won the letters and their respective positions, are as follows: Left Half-back Left Half-back Right Half-back Full-back Quarter-back QCapt.j Right End Left End Right End Right Tackle Left Tackle Right Guard Left Guard Right Guard Center Manager Gerald Phillips Tracy Nathan Lloyd Smith Harry Liljenberg Arthur Ostergard Edwin Hultman Harry Conroy Albert Knabb Frantz Cliquennoi Gurth Leonard John Berdine Albert Boynton Hugh Robertson Marshall Hansen .I.

Manager Kornreich secured teams that knew how to play the game and play it in such a way as to make matters interesting in the ensuing season. The following schedule bears witness to this fact: 38 K'Warren .. .. .. 30 Sheffield .... . .. . .

Opponents 310 fPlayed at home. VVarren, from the very start of the season, had to combat with many difficulties. The loss of Tracy Nathan, captain and veteran guard, left a gap in the line-up that was hard to bridge. Then as the season progressed, injuries, coupled with other adverse circumstances, withheld some of the best players from the game, thereby leaving the team in a weakened condition. Nevertheless, when the treaty of peace was finally signed after the decisive battle with Kane, it was found that the majority of the games were Warren victories. Credit, again, is due .to Mr. Leidig. Aided by the second team, he whipped into shape, a varsity, perfect by no means, yet a team capable, efficient, and speedy: a team that could add rather than de- tract from the school's honor. The first contingent was as follows: Forward ---- Forward - - - Albert Knabb QCapt.j - - Harry Conroy Center Arthur Ostergard Center Thorton Clark Guard Harry Liljenburg Guard William Gardner Coach - - I.

You were proud to possess a team that could hold its own, a team that could tight and play the game Mclean . Yet you did not stop to consider where the credit lay. You did not think of the six fellows who gave night after night of their time, to make that team proficient. - Be just. Give credit where credit is due. To these men who possessed real school spirit, who played day in and day out, to give you a team worthy of bearing your High School banner, who played the game for the love of the game, not for the glory derived ffor glory there was not, to these second team men 5--to these men give likewise a wreath of olive. They are the scrubs to-dayg your first team to-morrow. Give them a niche in your hall of fame, for soon they will be entering the lists in behalf of their school's honor. Therefore, add these names to your roll of honor, and when praising the Varsity, praise, likewise, the men who made the Varsity possible.

VVho is going to do the pitching? Who will be your first sackers? These questions really contained the problems which Coach Leidig had to face at the beginning of the baseball season. One must surely turn out a winning team in order to complete successfully the following schedule: April 23 Corry at Warren May 5. Warren at Kane May 12 Titusville at Warren May 19 Jamestown at Warren May 26 Warren at Corry May 30 Warren at Titusville June 2 Warren at Jamestown .Tune 9, Kane at Warren The five VV men who are back, furnished an excellent foundation for a winning W. H. S. team for 1917. The first weeks saw many re- cruits out for positions and some of them have developed wonderfully. At the very first it was evident to Leidig that he would not have to worry over the pitching problem, as Mack, Siggins, and Cosmano showed all kinds of speed and curves. The problem, which really was a diilicult one, was that of finding a competent Hrst baseman. It was thought for a while that Knabb would play first but as no one could be found to play third, it was decided to put Knabb back at third and de- velop some one at first. Hultman who seemed toshow the most promise of developing into a first sacker was taught the different ins and outs of the position and it was no time until he was able to play first in a creditable manner. The schedule which Manager Clicquenoi had prepared called for the first game to be played at home on April 23, with the Corry High School Team. 82 THE DRAGON Mack was chosen to do the pitching against the Corry team and it was through his fine work that the Blue and White was able to come out of the contest with an 11 to 1 victory. Hultman played a fine game at first and he came through with three hits out of four times at -bat. At third base Knabb was kept busy with difficult chances and he ac- cepted them all in a most creditable way. When May 5 rolled aiound the team was to journey to Kane but Jupe Pluvius decided that it would be better if we would rest, and so we did. The dawn of May 12 found the Blue and White warriors ready to encounter and vanquish the High School team of Titusville, Penn. Sig- gins was chosen to do the mound duty against the Titusville lads and he certainly made them sit up and take notice of the fact that Warren High School has a gold mine when it comes to good pitchers. He was rather stingy with his hits, as he allowed only a pair, and he also re- vealed to them the most dreaded of routes, that of the strike out variety, having eleven of them travel over that highway. Cosmano had a big day at the bat, as Well as playing right field in an O. K. manner. Second base was a target for most of the Titusville attack, but Smith was always on the job and showed them that we were well fortified at second base. During the week preceding May 19, the team worked hard to per- fect its attack, because every member of the team realized that the Jamestown High School team would be the hardest foe of the year, and worked with this thought ever in mind. Although Mack pitched air tight ball, a few of his team mates were erratic and presented James- town with the game. Liljenberg, our fast left fielder, had a banner day at bat, securing two hits in three times at bat off the delivery of Russ. Johnson who has caught the last couple of games in the absence of Koebnich, filled his position in an acceptable manner. Un the Saturday preceding Decoration Day, the team was sched- uled to play at Corry but the dear little sons of Corry High got a sud- den attack of cold feet and called off the game. Poor things. To celebrate Memorial Day fitly the representatives of the Blue and White hopped aboard the D. A. V. stage coach, rumbled into Titusville and proceeded to trounce the Oil Town lads unmercifully. The splendid manner in which the team played that great day made my hat band expand a few inches to think that I had the privilege of being their leader. THE DRAGON 83 On .Tune 2, the day that Hoff says he is going to accompany the team, we invade Jamestown. We all hope Hoff will bring her to the game so that she can watch her dearies go down to defeat. The last game of the season will take place on .Tune 9, and as this game will be played at home, it should be a line battle with which to close the season. I want to thank all those fellows who so kindly came out night after nightand practiced faithfully as a second team. The following members by their faithful service to the W. H. S. secured their W : Smith - Second base Connie fCaptD - Short stop Hultman - - First base Mack Pitcher-Centeriield Siggins - Pitcher Knabb - Third base Liljenberg - - Left field Cosmano Pitcher-Right field Johnson - - - Catcher -Harry Conroy, '18 fCapt.j linnnnr thv Erauiiful O beautiful for spacious eyes For amber waves of hair, For purple sheen of foreign dyes Which sadly change my fair, O beautiful for dainty feet Whose toes are held in stress No room is there for freedom's beat Inside the fashion's press.

But they knew not, as he opened up the game by murmuring love That father was the umpire on the stairway just above. I like your face -he led off first- with me you've made a hit- You've got the curves, you've got the speed and you are looking fit- Now, if with you, my turtle dove, I make a hit likewise, Won't you improve your single state and make a sacriHce? I'll never play too far off base he whispered in her ear. My salary whip has got the stuff to put them over, dear: Just give the signal for a 'steal' and I'll no longer roam, And when I slide into the plate please call me safe at home. I've got to have the dope complete, the girlie softly sighed. Show me your batting average in Mr. Liedig's guide, It takes a lot of speed these days, With cunning and intrigue, To win a battle now and then within the High School's league. But give me errorless support -his heart here took a bound- And let me live in school league style and I may come aronndg Unwrap the tangle from the dope and you can cop the bet, We'll play a double header, pal, on any day you set. He started warming up at once and with a happy sigh, He whipped a fast one 'round her neck-the other was waist high: But here the umpire butted in--she said: Oh, father, please Don't call him out, he showing me the way they work the 'squeeze. He started warming up at once, and said, I'l1 help the fun By showing him another play that's called 'the hit and run.

There may be some in the High who do not think this organization worth while or of much importance, but, let it be said here that the Dramatic Club of 191647 far surpassed all similar clubs in the Work it has accomplished this year. The Club met semi-monthly, either at the High School building or at the home of one of the members, as best fitted the occasion, and took up for its work the discussion of present day dramatists and their Writings. In the course of the year's work, dramatists such as Sir Arthur Pinero, Stephen Philips, Israel Zangwill, Oliver Goldsmith and Booth Tarkington were discussed, while such works as Paola and Francesco by Philipsg The Melting Pot by Zangwillg Mr. Antonion by Tarkington, and She Stoops to Conquer by Goldsmith, furnished both entertainment and study to the zealous club members. By other accomplishments this Club will be remembered. It did not content itself with producing a minor play, requiring little time and expense, but gave the school a meritorious production. She Stoops to Conquer was acted in a manner that an1ply repaid the time and efforts expended in its representation. To the Dramatic Club that may follow this one the 1916-17 Club extends a hearty wish it-hat all success may come their way in whatever they undertake. May they enjoy tl1eir work and reap benelit from all they do. -Marion B. Smith.

Each member of the cast played his part exceedingly well. Miss Neville and Hastings were a charming couple, characteristic of Gold- smith's time. Hardcastle, with his long pipe and equally long-drawn- out accounts of battles, presented a very amusing spectacle. Mrs. Hardcastle with her latest London styles and her darling boy, kept the audience in an uproar. But it was left for Tony Lumpkin by all his foolish pranks, to score the uproarious success of the evening. Equal to the success of Tony Lumpkin alone was that of Young Mar- low. The contrast of the bold, daring, young fellow to that of the modest, very bashful gentlemen, was so excellently portrayed that it seemed like a veritable transcript from life. Miss Hardcastle, how- ever, was undeniably the star of the evening. She bewitched the whole audience with her smile and pretty ways, and conquered the hearts of everyone. An English teacher gave a test which required a description of the village preacher in poem. The question read, Describe the V. P. Louis Sigworth described Versal Pierce.

If the Warren High School could be transported to the heart of wildest Africa, it would have the country conquered in less than two weeks. Imagine the natives crowded around the strong old building, hurl- ing their spears and uttering uncanny war cries! See the threatening, virulent glances of their Hashing black eyes, the brilliant paint on their ebony skins, the gleam of the metal ornaments hung about neck, arms, and waist. Hark! The beat of the tom-tom, their war cry! They come,-a howling, shrieking, threatening mob! And then they pause. The first strains of Zampa ring out on the breeze. The savage eyes dilate, the spears fall to the ground, mouths, opened to emit some screech, are left open in astonishment and admiration. They are motionless,-until the music changes to Wearing Them Higher in Hawaii. Then the statuesque bodies begin to sway, the eyes take on a dazed look, the feet move, and the warlike company is dancing, each hugging the other in pure delight. Again the music changes. Native tears fall on native cheeks as the Glee and Mandolin Club play and sing some sweet, sad strain. And so it goes. After the last number of the program, the savages, beating on tom- toms and crying exultantly, coax for an encore. Miss Provin and Mr. MacGowan, appearing on the front balcony, bow and smile. But where is this savage band? Prostrate before the Great White Exalted Ones, their faces to the ground! 1 92 THE DRAGON But to speak seriously. Warren High School has organized a Glee Club, a Mandolin Club, and an Orchestra. The Orchestra was pronounced by the State Supervisor of Music Cwho, by-the-way, heard only the common chapel musicj to be surpassed by only one other high school orchestra in the state, an orchestra which has greater ad- vantages than ours. Mr. MacGowan has announced that the prospects of forming a violin class next year are very favorable. Next year will also mark the beginning of a credit system for music study pursued outside of school. Truly Warren is striding ahead in this study, and the High School has had no small part in helping her to attain the name of a musical center. +fDorothy Smith M. E. S. Gbrrhwtra Director, W.

The newest and the least known of the High School societies is the W. H. S. Camera Club reorganized in the Spring of 1917, after several years of inactivity. Although the members at present are few, those who have joined are enthusiastic. The club, which meets on alternate VVednesdays, began its Spring program with a demonstration of printing, followed by one of develop- ing, and the reading of a paper Written by Robert McConnell on the essentials of successful picture taking. The plan is to have dem- onstrations of blue prints, sepia and greenprints, enlarging. the relative merits of different kinds of papers. It was hoped that the time the Dragon went to press, there might be a complete set of of Faculty Snap Shots to publish but this could not be carried out, though there were some delightful possibilities, such as Miss Petheram's drinking pop from a bottle- on Decoration Day, or Mr. MacGowan's engineering a Wheel barrow. The Camera Club is always open to new members and it is hoped that by next year the membership will be greatly increased.

The Hi-Y Club tends to develop in our boys all those qualities which are manly, noble, honorable, uplifting and Christian and to dis- courage the development of those traits which lead to actions that are not in harmony with the teachings of Christ.

Ehr CEM Srnuia The object of the Girl Scout organization is to train girls to take their rightful places in life, first as good women, then as good citizens, wives and mothers. Every girl who becomes a scout, in order that she may have some definite guide to work by, takes the following oath :- On my honor, I promise that I will try to do my best 1. To do my duty to God and my country. 2. To help other people at all times. 3. To obey the Scout Law. The Scout Law is as follows: A Girl Scout is l. Trustworthy. 2. Loyal. 3. Helpful. 4. Friendly. 5. Courteous. 6. Pure. 7. Kind. 8. Obedient. 9. Cheerful, 10. Thrifty. Wzirren has in the neighborhood of one hundred Girl Scouts, all of whom are prepared to help their country and their fellow citizens during this crisis. Pledged to service by their oath, trained by Scout activities, they stand a ready band of strong energetic helpers, to Work where they are needed. But work is not all there is to scouting. .Tust as girls have their serious and frivolous natures, so scouting must have its work and play. No one except those who know from experience, realizes what fun camping, hiking, trailing, signalling, bandaging, knot-tying, and all other scout activities afford, aside from the fun of just being together. But the best part of this fun is that it is teaching the girls to become efficient, molding their ideals at the impressionable age, helping them to form healthy, happy friendships, and instilling patriotism into their very beingsg in order that they may be of value to their town, their friends, and their country. -Dorothy Smith. l I XX , RX xx I E .h ff. THE DRAGON 103 i Zllirat Path The first meeting of the First Aid Class was held March 15. There was then a membership of about fifty. At this meeting Doctor Durham gave a short talk, but no real work was done owing to the fact that the First Aid books had not been received. It was decided that the regular meeting should be held on Tuesday evening. The books had been received and distributed before the next meeting, which was March 20, so that the work began then in real earnest. Doctor Durham had charge of the first three meetings, after which Doctor Schuler gave the lectures. The first half hour was usually spent in bandage practicing. One must attend at least eight of the lectures in orders to pass the test.

Both Scout Headquarters and the War Department have issued orders as to the Scout program during the war period, and in this way the country will be given a large body of trained young men for home duty and work supplemental to the regular army and navy. The duties of the Scouts will be somewhat as follows: 1. To help produce food to supply this country. 2. To train for guard or scout duty. 3. To specialize in Red Cross work, map making and signalling: the things most needed, if the Scouts should go into service. The Warren Scouts, consisting of three active troops, have entered very heartily into the working out of this plan. Nearly all of the fel- lows either have gardens of their own or are going to help in the work of the garden lea-gue formed at the Y. M. C. A. As to the guard duty, the Scouts are living in hopes of seeing some service before long. In troop I, a call system has been arranged whereby the whole troop can be assembled in a very short time, in case of an emergency call. Orders have been received from the War Department to have a few of the older Scouts well trained in their signalling, so that they may be used to train the recruits in the army, navy, and marines, if necessary. - In working out this War program which has been laid out for them, the Scouts are simply putting into practice their Scout Oath:- To obey the Scout law at all times. To do my best to do my duty to God and my country. To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake, and morally straight. --Wm. Burkhart.

The Warren Cadet Corps was formed last April be- cause of Uncle Sam's great need for trained men. The Cadet Corps is training the young men of Warren under military age, so that they may be fitted for service when called upon: some of the Cadets already have heard the call for fighters and have answered it, so that they are now in some military service. Perhaps some day every Cadet will have done the same thing, but the Corps does not intend to offer 'its service as a body. For doing home guard duty, however, it stands ready for the first summons, V The Cadet Corps has been divided into three companies, A, B, and C. These companies drill every Monday and Friday nights, at seven o'clock, and on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings, from seven until eight. At present, these drills consist of close-order work, but later on in the summer extended-order formations and skirmish work will be taken up. In a recent campaign, a fund for uniforms, guns and other equip- ment was raised, and almost two thousand dollars was obtained. Measurements for the uniforms already have been taken, but no suits will be granted to cadets whose attendance at drills does not come up to a certain standard that will be set later. The training provided by the Warren Cadet Corps makes a young man better fitted for both civil and military life, because of the strict discipline and splendid physical development obtained. If a cadet is drafted or enlists, this training will help him obtain a non-commis- sioned officership, owing to his knowledge of military drills and tactics. All young men of good character, between the ages of 15 and the draft age should enlist, not only because of the great personal benefit, but because to do so is nothing less than a patriotic duty. -Hamblin Eaton, Orderly.

My book,-the Odyessey-lay open before me, but my mind was not following the exciting adventures of wily Uylesses. Far from it. The scenes of bygone days passed ever before my eyes and loath was I to disturb their course for the sake of our dull friend Il Penseroso, or literally speaking, just study. Nay, I mused on and on and soon my senses were yielding to the general atmosphere, and drowsiness crept upon me, catching me unawares and holding me completely in his grasp. My head sank upon that ever-ready prop, my arm, and soon school and all worldly activities were lost in oblivion. My sleep was not a sleep of exhaustion, but of laziness, conse- quently it was troubled. Scarcely had I fallen into the pits of slumber when I wasuvisited by a wonderful dream. It is of this dream that I shall sing, as I endeavor to enchant you in the tale that follows. Thus we have it. A gray gaunt old man sat dreamily before his hearth, muttering and sighing, as scenes of a long-past but still remembered life presented themselves to him. A sad, dreamy, far-away look dwelt in his eyes as they carefully scanned the surrounding walls of his den, resting fondly upon the pictures of his youth that hung proudly thereon. Pictures of red blooded youth, they wereg some of baseball, some basketball but many of football. Football, yea, 'twas this very sport that caused such grief to our aged hero, causing him to sigh and yearn for bygone days. Bygone days, they were! Sixty long years had passed since he had donned his old togs, and stood in fighting trim for his last battle for the old school. Sixty long and bitter years had not been able to blear the vision of a gleaming past. Suddenly he was seized with a longing to see once more the armor of the gridiron. Rising, painfully from his chair, he tottered to a great chest in the far corner of the room and with a great effort, raised the lid. Then he drew them forth. The old Blue and White Jersey, mudstained headguard, and all,-all the familiar clothes of ancient conflicts. The sight of the old togs caused the pain of anguish to break forth anew, and yearningly he sent forth his plea, Oh that I might fight one more game with the comrades of '16! Hardly had his words been uttered, when the room was filled with a great light, and standing before him, crowned with a wreath of glory, stood a gigantic figure, the form of King Football. The vision stood THE Warren High School OFFERS FOUR COURSES TO STUDENTS AS FOLLOWS College Preparatory, Technical Commercial, General r . Mg ,L N me K 1 K X i , - 1 A it ' .

The Student Spirit is good and the opportunities here afforded to young people are Worth While. Tuition Rates for Non-Residents Are Reasonable THE DRAG-ON 115 smiling a smile of compassion for his age-stricken adherent: and, as he smiled, he uttered these words that echoed and reechoed like grumbling crashes of thunder, Your prayers, your sighs, your bitter grief, all have been recorded and now they shall receive their answer. You have tarried too long in this World, your friends are all gathered out yonder. There in the land of peace and concord, I govern a kingdom, Wherein the souls of bygone athletes gather once more to pursue the game of their love. There the team of '16 has already assembled and you alone are lacking. Come, renew once more the pursuits of mad youth. Thus it was spokeng and with the word-s of the spirit, came life anew to the age-stricken man. The bubbling spirit of youth again re- claimed him and sent him bounding in the wake of his unusual bene- factor. Through many strange lands they passed, soaring high on the very lightness of their spirits, until at last the golden gates of Paradise appeared in the distance. These, too, were passed, and now the strange pair were treading upon the sacred ground of happiness. Soon King Football stopped, and pointing his huge arm to a far away corner of the land, said, There where yon golden temple rises shimmering, is the beginning of my domain. In truth, yon temple shall be thy first pleasure. 'Tis the temple of recollections and therein are stored the golden books of time. Hither shall we bend our steps. So saying, he quickened his pace and they soon gained the temple and ascended the broad stairs by which access to the interior Was gained. Entering the pictured portals, they stepped within the sacred chamber of Time. It was a vast room, lined with great cases, in which reposed the golden events of yore. These books were guarded by the ever-vigilant Father Time who dwelt within the temple, writing dili- gently as the ever-flying minutes bore him new tidings of the strange doings of earthly creatures. Book after book, this ancient writer had completed and there they stood, arranged systematically in the vast cases along the wall. King Foot Ball led his companion past the cases containing the more modern happenings, nor did he stop until they saw 1916 staring them in the face. The King then opened the case and drew forth a book entitled W2 H. S. Foofball, 1916. Here we have it, spake the good King. This shall be your first pleasure within these new domains. Here you shall review once more the deeds of those comrades whom you so long to see. Take heed. Here you see the opening of that eventful season-Oil City 6-Warren 76.

THE DRAGON 117 along, as I continue through the season. 1 had intended to allow you an almost perfect season but the Fates did not so permit. Here for example, is Edinboro. I thought it best for them to nose you out by a small score on their home field, so that they might retain their reputa- tion. But later in the season I intended to allow the Blue and White to conquer. All went well at the beginning of the struggle and I waved strength into the team until the ball stood on the one yard line. Now I believed that a touchdown would be yoursg but, at this critical period, messengers brought me word that King Basket Ball, growing restless with the waning of Football, had infringed on my territory and severed all diplomatic relations. Consequently I was forced to desert my posi- tion and .set out to quell this rebellious monarch and put him in his proper place until his time was due- Giving my scepter to my prime minister, I informed him to breathe strength into the Blue and White warriors so that they might exult in the conquest of their huge oppo- nents. With these orders, I left and felt confident that all would be well. Imagine my chagrin, to find upon ,my return that my minister had made a lamentable blunder, waving the wand in the direction of the red-clad warriors rather than the Blue! I immediately deposed him and in reparation allowed the rest of the games to be the spoils of the Blue and White. There you see the events registered in the book of glory, and in fact it is an enviable record. Teams in later years have striven to surpass it, but in vain. But, come, now you shall join your comrades and renew your strife, again with my kingdom. The team is all assem- bled and ready to meet the crack team of the ancients. For this game I have borne thee hither. So saying the King descended from the temple, followed closely by his rejuvenated companion, and the two made their way beneath the towering goal posts that marked the en- trance to Footballdom. Over the much-chalked gridiron, the knights of the pigskin gamboled, finding sheer enjoyment in their pursuit of the sport. The King once more raised his arm and pointing to a squad of busily engaged youths said, Yon group are my comrades. There the goal to which I have led you. Go report to your old coach and be whipped into shape for the big game. With these words, the King vanished and I saw his former companion, picking his way past the many groups of struggling players, until at last, he had gained his former friends, and recognized once more the beloved colors of the old school for which many a battle 'had been fought, right cheerily. As he stood thus gazing at the old familiar plays, a startling revelation came to me in my dream. I recognized the figure of the enraptured youth to WHEN SCHGOL IS QUT THE CHILDREN SHOUT WHY should they not be pleased. It means .GAT . I ff-,X camping, canoeing and fish- ing.

THE DRAGON 119 be the exact duplicate of my very self. When he reached the coach, I found by the salutation that I was not mistaken. Greeting me in the old brusque businesslike manner of the former football days, he ordered me to don mv togs and report for afternoon practice. .Toyfully I executed the command and ere the sun had turned his course, I was arrayed and ready for battle. Once more I stood with my long-absent companions. Osty was there, barking out the old sig- nals with his usual pep and inspiring his players with the desire for victory. Nate was on deck, champing like a spirited horse, at being restrained from his accustomed line plungesg Babe still baffled the striv- ing opponents with his turning and twisting through spaces of unheard- of smallness, and Red had lost none of his early cunning in advancing the ball. The line, too, looked as much like a stonewall as it had always looked in former days. Forming a bulwark of defense, almost a team in himself was Cherub Hansen, and following a close second in the heavyweight class were Long Iohn and Tublets. Sloughfoot was in a class by himself, forming a large portion of the defense on the right wing. Leonard still looked as hard as a nail and Connie, with Pike, formed the speed unit on the end positions. Clic, not to be forgotten, towered hugely as his early Kinzua ancestors, the American Indian. There I saw them ally all who bore the Blue and White to victory in the old days of '16 and who were now striving for their colors here in Footballdom. At last the great 'day of the battle with the ancients arrived, and the giant bowl was cleared for action. Early afternoon found the two teams on the field running through preliminaries, and early afternoon found the crowds assembling from far and near in Paradise Land. The ancients brought their cheering squad and their gods of luck to breathe courage into their ranks, should courage ever be wanting. Zeus was in the seat of honor casting his thunderbolts in a playful manner, as if they were mere billiard balls, rather than agents of destruction. Juno accompanied him, nor did it soothe her jealous rage to see the flirtatious glances cast by many a goddess fair in the direction of her spouse. Venus in all her beauty attended, nor was Apollo to be disregarded at any time. Now that you have an idea of the various fans, it might be well to glance over the team opposing our sturdy Blue and White. VVas it not an imposing array? Take note of their huge line. There at the center position was dread Polyphemus and on either side of him at tackle and guard positions were his brother Cyclops. Horrible monsters they QD O LP! I5 0 46 Q1 W6 STRONG .5 ow BANK QP: THE DRAGON 121 were, but they daunted not our warriors. Telemachus, swift of foot, and Hermes, god of speed, hold the end positions. But the backfield contained ther greatest strength, their fullback, Achilles the invuner- able, Achilles the mighty, Cleus and Enceledus towered in the halfback positions, and last but far from least was their captain and quarter- back, wily Uylesses. Now you began to quake and fear for your war- riors, but they, hardy fighters that they were, heed not the stupendous odds. The whistle shrilled in on our meditations, and now the game was on. From the initial kickoff, the fight waxed hot, the ball zig- zagging up and down the field, now Warren ahead, now the Ancients, yet neither side able to gain the advantage. Thus the first half dragged out. In the second half, however, luck favored the Blue and White by allowing them to score a field goal. 3 to 0. Warren's favor. The last and hardest quarter of the game began with Warren leading by a scant three points. Determination seized us warriors of the Blue and White. Could we hold them scoreless? Yea, we had to. Failure to our colors was unthinkable. With this do-or-die resolution we entered into the final period of play. VVith but these two minutes to play, Hermes, by one of their trick plays, secured the ball and started like a runaway express, down the field. Speed? Why the air sizzled, he was going so fast. Past our gallant line he raced, gaining more and more speed with each step. Red dived for those flying pedes and was brushed aside like chaff. Now he was speeding straight for me ! Not to stop him meant defeatg to stop him, six months in the hospital, or worse. As I was revolving such pictures in my mind, the impact came. Crash I Wonderful constellations! Mars, Jupiter, and other planets played tag for a moment! Then consciousness came slowly back. I raised my head, bewildered, to find that instead of the white-striped gridiron with its speeding Hermes, I was in the same old study hall, surrounded by many grinning faces. Then it dawned upon me that I had spent my precious time in slumber and that instead of a flying Hermes, causing such a beautiful, kaleidscope of scintillating stars, the array was due to the very commonplace fact that my arm had become tired of support- ing friend cranium, and therefore had removed himself and introduced my head--rather forcefully in my estimation l-to the unsympathetic edge of the desk. The result was that consciousness was restored and accompanying the awakening came several degrees of embarrassment, due to the fact that many fellow students had witnessed my fall. Resolutely, however, I turned to my work, comforting myself that at least I had had the satisfaction of contending with the wily Uylesses. , -'Harry Liljenberg.

Ave. East THE DRAGON 155 Uhr High Svrhnnl Animal Shaw Being a biology student, and therefore a scientist, my work in the laboratory consisted chiefly of experimenting with queer combinations of chemicals and organic compounds. Therefore, one day as I worked with various acids and nitro-organisms at my laboratory desk, my deep-thinking mind naturally turned to thoughts of the evolution of animal life to its present high state, the human being. Although I had been brought up to believe that man had, in the beginning, been made perfect, yet now, as I sat thinking, my mind revolted against such an illogical explanation, and I felt convinced that the process of evolution had wrought all animal kind. I became so sure of this, that, as I picked up a small mirror and gazed into it, I could see in the facial reflection there, a distinct resemblance to the ape. Now upon the desk at which I was working there were several bottles filled with chemicals. Suddenly it struck me that the greatest discoveries are sometimes made through chance, so without hesitation I poured several of these fluids into one bottle. Into this mixture I dropped what I supposed to be a culture of amoeba. Then I shook the bottle. Perhaps, I could produce one of the missing links in the evolu- tionary line in this way. , As I leaned over to smell this mixture a most peculiar sensation came over me. I felt faint and dizzy and the bottle seemed suddenly filled with a million squirming red bugs. I started for the other room, but the light glared into my eyes so that I could not see the doorway. An empty, sick feeling came over me as I shut my dazzled eyes, and I seemed about to sink into a fathomless space. This feeling was, however, as suddenly changed into a sensation of exactly the opposite nature: I became filled with gay life. My legs felt springy and I fairly jumped into the other room. In there, I looked at the clock to see what time it was. I saw that I was just in time for chapel, so I started out into the rotunda to go down into the balcony. As I hopped along, I was startled by the most unusual sorts of noises. It seemed as though a menagerie had broken loose in school. The honk-honk of geese, the squealing of pigs, the cackle of chickens, the hysterical cries of loons, the weird laughing of hyenas, the deep snarl of wolves, the high-toned shrill piping of birds, and the hungry sounding quack-quack of ducks, all blended together in an uproari- ous babble. At first I was puzzled and surprisedg then a realization of the facts dawned upon me. All this noise was merely the High School students, carrying on their regular assembly hall conversations.

Perhaps, thought I, this smell was of some chemical prepara- tion which some of the boys had scattered throughout the halls in order to demonstrate their ability as chemists, and thus gain the commenda- tion of the faculty. Yet, this odor smelled more like one which a person might come in contact with at a circus, it was an odor of ani- mals and hay. But I did not stop to ponder: my feet seemed light and I felt gay and happy. I quickly made my way to my accustomed seat in the assembly hall balcony and jumped up onto it, thankful, indeed, to be in plenty of time for chapel . ' It was not till I was seated that I realized into what sort of com- pany I had come. I was in the midst of a thousand varieties of animals. Next to me, in the place where one of my friends usually sat, there was a big hippopotamus. He sprawled out in his seat and when I said Hello , he merely opened up his huge mouth and let out a big Ha, Ha, Ha . This laugh sounded like the laughter of one of my friends. What does this menagerie mean? I asked of hun. Who let Ringling Brothers loose? I wished I had not asked, for he opened his mouth about a mile wide and roared loudly. I thought he was going to swallow me alive, but he merely bellowed and said to me, If you weren't so small I'd eat you. For once in my life I was glad that I was of so small stature. As I looked around me I saw that in the usual seats of my school- mates there were animals of all kinds, everything from the tiny mole to the mighty lion. Near by sat a cute little monkey, who was jabber- ing away at the top of his voice. He was a queer little animal, full of gay life and nervous vivacity. l Hello Fanny, he yelled. I was overjoyed at this. I could rec- ognize the voice of one of my dear schoolmates. Why, hello there Pete. How's the small one today? I answered. Oh, swell, he retorted. Then I again turned toward the front. Suddenly I was startled by a most fiendish laugh. I looked around and saw an old companion of mine, who was now a jolly laughing hyena. He was having a hilarious time. His laugh was a scream. I jumped back to where he was sitting. JE BAKER 81 JOHNSON'S STORE ls ready to serve you in your wants for your home and your- self.

Sure, said I, But keep your mouth shut so I can see for certain. Then a hysterical shrieking greeted my hearing. I looked behind and was greeted by the amused looks of two whooping loons. Hello, shrimp, they cried, and then burst into further crazy cries of laughter. ' Disgusted, I hopped back down to my seat. Then I looked across the aisle to see what sort of animals inhabited that side of the balcony. There I noticed many a beautiful fowl. There were ducks and geese and birds in abundanceg the whole side of the balcony looked like a big poultry farm, with its fluttering array of flapping-winged birds and quacking fowls. I noticed several bright colored birds flying around. They were singing their various songs and answering each other. I was surprised and delighted to find that I could understand what they said. Oh, Jennie, I have a new case on that handsome lion down there in the second row. He played on the varsity man-eating team last year. Oh, gosh, so have I, Thrashie, dear, was the little bird's answer. Now that you mention it, I've a case on him, too. I think he has such a handsome tail. I'm going to ask him for a lock of his tail for a souvenir. But, Jennie, we don't stand any chance with him. He runs and hides his face every time he sees a sparrow coming, answered the thrasher. Hey, kids, piped up a bluejay, we're going to have fresh lemon seeds for desert at the cafeteria this noon. Good, exclaimed a nighthawk. Won't that be just too sweet for anything? Oh, girls, squawked a sweet-voiced catbird, I'm just crazy over that walrus in the fourth row. He is so big and manly and has such handsome whiskers.

After reading a little of this, all were asked to join, in praise of Noah, whom the Professor Missing Link called The Father of our School. When this professor had finished, he sat down. Then to the front stalked a long-legged giraffe. ' There will be a meeting of the High School Chickens' Club to- night at the Y. W. C. A. All hens urged to be present. C Then he gave a short lecture on How to sharpen your nails with- out annoying the teacher. After this we all sang Down in .Tungle-town. Lusty voices made the air fairly roar as the animals bellowed out the beautiful chorus. As we sang I watched the faculty. A grizzly bear sat on the right side, while a big polar bear sat near the middle. The faculty seemed to be sturdy animals. I felt proud to have such fine-looking bears, giraffes, hawks and apes as my instructors. When the song was finished, the orchestra struck up a lively piece to dismiss us by. I recognized the melody as being, That Baby Baboon Dance, one of my favorite operas. The orchestra played it so well that I immediately became curious to see what kind of animals the orchestra was composed of. Therefore, I jumped upon the back of the hippopotamus beside me in order to see. I slowly crawled up to- ward his head. It seemed to annoy him. He raised one of his huge paws as if to strike me. Get off my head, you Heaf' he roared. I'm no flea, I cried in alarmed anger. And then the big animal let his paw descend upon me. I became da.zed, then dazzled, and my short existence as a flea in the animal king- dom ended. I awoke again in school. My heart sank within me. I had had such a nice visit in the animals' schoolg now I must again be at my work. But I felt weak and sick and the light dazzled my eyes. What time is it? I asked of someone who bent over me. What has happened, anyway? You've got the measles, was the answer. Measles! I cried in astonishment, Why, how can that be? Well, he explaimed, smiling, the gas from those chemicals you mixed up asphyxiated you and that culture you used was a culture of measle germs.

With the beginning of their final year, Seniors are prone to think that the restraint of former years is to be thrown off. They feel a little superior to any desire on the teachers part to curb their exu- berance or direct their energies. To use a slang expression, they feel their oats. They show a decided disposition to like to run 'things and if the teacher happens to have a similar desire, which not infre- quently happens, there results something of an electrical storm with subsequent clearing of the atmosphere, when all settle down peacefully and live happily ever after. It often seems in September that the new class will not be so re- sponsive and dependable as the preceding one, but with the sharing together of the responsibilities, work, and pleasure of the school year, there develops a feeling of mutual understanding and confddence, and by .Tune the teacher dreads the thought of exchanging the present Senior class for another one.

I'd revolutionize the whole system of affairs andinstall some rawther unique methods, don't you know. In football for instance, by the present system, the player is forced to hurl himself bodily at the ball as it rolls gently over the turf. The result is a terrihc contact with Mother Earth with a few extra jolts and jars thrown in. Now if I had charge of this branch of sports, I'd see that the School Board furnished feather mattresses for such an occasion. Then this torture would become a pleasure. I'd likewise eliminate the danger of a muddy field by erecting a huge awning above the field, high enough to act as no hindrance to the pas- sing ball. I would see that refreshments were served to the players between halves and that a book was supplied in which the plays were printed so that the players, instead of remembering a play, could look it up before the beginning of action. In basket ball, I would make a few changes as I would in baseball. I'd see for one thing that the baskets were enlarged, so as to eliminate the need of missing so many shots. Another improvement that would act as an aid to the guards would be the addition of Hy-paper to the game. This would enable the guards to stick better and therefore reduce the number of baskets made by a forward. A few other minor changes could be made, but I'll leave them for a later date. Consider, now, baseball. If fly-paper would help the guards to stick in basket ball, the same idea could be followed in base- ball. The fielders could encourage the growth of a heavy beardg then by the addition of molasses, they would be prepared to catch any Hy. To enable them to rope in deep held hits Fords ought to be provided. This car of universal fame could also be used in base-running. If, how- ever, Fords are not obtainable, owing to the war scare, at least the region neighboring second base should be thoroughly waxed, so that the runner can start his hook slide shortly after leaving the initial sack. The pitcher should be provided with a catapult in order that he might hurl the ball with greater speed and less exertion. To cap the climax of this series of much needed improvements, the umpire should be decked in a suit of impenetrable armor, provided with life insurance and means of a hasty exit before entering the held of battle. Such are a few of the reforms that I would have brought about, were I running athletics in the High School. -H. .I. L. -:-- ,K f - --:d 'T upyrxght 1911, A H. Kiriohbnum Co.

WARREN'S CLOTHING COMPANY THE DRAGON 171 Emu 31 mnulh illun the Srlinnl Morpheus, Pa.-The following extract from an article in the Dreamland Times might prove of interest to residents of the Warren High School. It greatly alarmed Little Nemo, Rip Van Winkle, Will Glassman and other residents of Sandmantown. The Board of School Directors of the Borough of Warren recognize the election of Don lVIcAlpin, as principal for the next school year. After due deliberation and a lengthy conference the following regu- lations, written by the new principal, were adopted to govern the con- duct of school for the coming year, in which he would have absolute authority. Ruins fur 1917-18 All the customary discipline must and will be preserved in the school. I The drinking of cherry wine between class periods by the girls, must cease. The orchestra will be obliged to play during all hard lessons, so that the teacher can be sent to sleep. The principal's salary will be 31011000 for the term. He must get to school in time to take lunch with the faculty in the cafeteria. He must get back from lunch in ample time to ring the closing bell. ' The faculty cannot eat at the West End Hotel any more. There will be a holiday on each pupil's birthday, so that lessons can be well studied for next day. Every day in fish season will be a holiday. On the day before a holiday there will be no school, so that the boys can get out their hiking clothes. There will be no school after a holiday so that the boys can rest up. The principal will be treated to a Rocky Mountain at least once a day, by the faculty. If a pupil does not know his lesson the teacher must recite it to the principal, for him, after school. During the social hour after chapel exercises, only the homely girls may be spooned with. It is to the girl to decide. Nobody must flirt with the principal, as he is very bashful. All teachers will be compelled to flirt only with the pupils and not look elsewhere for such sentimental amusement.

If too long speeches are made at chapel exercises, and also if the speakers are too slow, they must be drowned out by loud talking. Anyone who wishes to, may fool with the chemicals in the Labra- tory. The lenses from the microscopes which may be used to burn boles, may be taken home by the boys. All girls who attend football games must make a gallon of lemonade for the local players. These rules must be known to no one but the principal. llirhnrahag-Zllifth Hnrinh The air was clear, the sun shone bright, The world in stillness lay, At peace with men and with itself, On that calm winter day.

The Scene opens with the buzzing of an electric bell. A hurried scullling of feet is heard from outside. Enter, to the accompaniment of loud talking and laughing, a group of boys and girls ranging in age from sixteen to twenty years. Some, carrying books, seem anxious and care-worng others, burdenless, have an irresponsible air. A few hurry to their seats, open books hastily, and eagerly devour a portion of the day's assignment. Others group themselves about the window. Snatches of Conversation are heard such as Funniest thing I ever saw. Gee, that was great! I seen him. Yeh, that was him. Second dance, sure! Again the buzzing of the bell is heard, but not heeded. A few minutes later, the teacher enters, breathlessly. She appears disturbed and irritated. She pauses at the door sternly surveying the group at the window. There is a perceptible hush. The group scatters, obviously ill at ease. The teacher advances to the front of the room, gazing rather Wearily at the pupils. There is a look of indecision on her face. She passes to her desk, glances through her papers uncer- tainly, then again stands before the class. The pupils move restlessly in their seats. Some begin to whisper. It is now ten minutes past the hour. Teacher fsharplyl-- The class will please come to order. Pupils sit up with an air of expectancy. Teacher Copening her bookj- What is the lesson for to-day?

P.'s oflice and was vainly searching for the Study Hall, when suddenly I beheld a tall, dignified personage, with a book un- opened, slowly wending his way down the corridor and repeating lines of Virgil as if it were as natural for 'him to recite Virgil as for me to recite Arch Bristow's famous poetry. As he came nearer, I was awe-struck by his expression of deep in- telligence. He walked forward, neither looking to right nor left, but his puckered brow and thoughtful expression showed that he was con- quering all the obstacles that Virgil could present. When he got abreast of me, I shrank back into a corner and gazed at him, wishing the day might speedily come when I, a poor Freshman, could duplicate his wonderful feats. I became so interested in this haughty, learned Senior that I could not refrain from following him down the labyrinth of halls and corridors, in which he found his way without even taking his eyes from his book. .Tust then he went into a room over which the word Latin was inscribed. I glanced in and noticed that there was a Virgil test on the board. The Senior, who seemingly had not expected a test, did not notice that when he hastily tried to slide a little book into his pocket, that it fell to the floor. i The teacher now appeared and stooping picked up the book. Then with a sigh he held it up before the class and read the title aloud-- Correct Translations from Virgil. With a shamed face the Senior slowly walked toward his seat. Silently I I walked away with a revised opinion. Verily, All is not gold that glitters. -R. Elliott.
