COMET NOTES After many years of cold inaction, the West Pittston High School Comet' once more burst into flame and went hurtling its meteoric course through another year of school life. The staff and reporters worked long, hard, and faithfully, and the resulting publication was thus better than it had ever been in former years. The new and inexperienced editors had what is wildly termed a hectic time in getting the first number safely to press. The second number was not so hard to manage, as the staff and the reporters had more of an idea as to what they were to do and how to do it. Then came the Year Book. First regarded as a mere dream, the editors would talk and speculate endlessly upon this thrilling subject. Fate was kind, and the printer was lenient, and one glad day it was announced that we would have a fine big year book, the best that West Pittston High School had ever seen. And so we did. You have all heard of the man behind the guns, and how necessary he was to the success of those guns. Well, the man behind the guns for the Comet was Mr. Robert Conahay, Jr., Manager of the Advertising Depart- ment of the LaBarre Printing Co., and without his wise help and advice, the Comet would never have been the success it was. We are glad of this opportunity to publicly thank Mr. Conahay for his services. 7 sf? WW iw, I. Q 'IIN' GERTRUDE AUSTIN CGertD Gert's a shark at basket ball.

FOOT BALL NOTES West Pittston launched its 1923 foot ball season on the local gridiron with an overwhelming victory over Larksville with a score 56e0. A crowd wit- nessed the game and saw W. Pittston's decided superiority over the visitors. A week later Forty Fort and W. Pittston met in their dash which resulted in a 7-0 victory for the high school. West Pittston played its first out of town game at Kingston, losing to that team with a score 7-O. A break in the game gave Kinsgton their lone score. Plains was the next in line to go to defeat at the hands of W. P., suffering at a score of 13-63. West Pittston showed unbreakable firmness when they invaded Plains. The time finally arrived for the annual clash between W. P. and Pittston. This was undoubtedly the biggest game of the year for a decided rivalry exists between the two schools. One of the largest crowds that ever witnessed an athletic game in Pittston turned out to see W. P. defeat the Pittstons in a closely fought contest. A single field at-the last minute decided the vic- tor, Score 3-0. I West Pittston played in hard luck during the next few games. Score with Scranton 7-0, St. J ohn's 13e9, and Newport 28e6. The season closed with a contest against Dunmore, resulting in a defeat 6-O. Without a doubt Dunmore could have been defeated.

Out of the nineteen games played We Won twelve. On our schedule were the leading High School teams in the state.

The team was coached by Mr. Lynn and Mr. Robertson and a great deal of credit is due to both for our successful season. The team Will be Without the help of four of its stars in Henshall, Burke, Beiderman and Willia1nso1 who graduate. Betmett, Booram and Briftain will be the only members of the squad left.

Horne 8 aoation Thoughts The school year is almost at an end and the long summer vacation is just as near at hand. Many boys and girls are wondering how they will spend their ten weeks' vacation. When we spend money, we always try to get adollar's worth for a dollar and so when we spend time we should be just as careful for time once lost can never be recovered while money if lost may be recov- ered. If while students, you learn how to spend your vacations profitably, you will have solved one of lifels most perplexing problems-how to spend leisure hours. While a student, school work determines very largely how the hours out of school are employed. In addition to home study and home duties, inter- est in athletics, the Comet, music or some other activity occupies your time. But after you get to workethe regular routine of almost every business or profession is so exciting that many people waste the after business hours trying to find pleasureg indeed, in many cases, too many business hours are wasted in planning how to while away the evening hours. But if you have acquired the habit of spending your vacations profitably you are more likely to have a definite plan for your leisure than the person who has learned to loaf all through a vacation. To be a successful leader you must first learn how to direct yourself. Of course we must all have recreation, but at the same time we must always beware of the deadly play habit. Real pleasure and happiness are by-products which cannot be purchasedeor the rich would be very happy and yet know they are not keeping busy at something worth while--doing well whatever is attempted is more likely to insure a pleasant vacation than planning for a ten week's loaf. Now, in other words, the point is this. During the summer vacation plan to do something besides playing baseball, eating ice cream cones and sun- daes, and attending the movies. Visit the library often to cultivate the habit of reading good booksg keep up your musicg take hikes into the country so that you may observe and appreciate the beauties which nature has provided - you will discover a new world if you get close to nature. But above all, let me urge you just as early as possible in your life-there is no better time than this summer eto do something that in some way will bring you into contact with strangers. This year in soliciting ads for the Comet and funds for athletics, you had an opportunity of trying to do business with business men and the public in general. Take advantage of every similar opportunity for all your life if you have to earn your own living you must be a salesmang you must know how to meet people and do business with them. Many people have a mistaken notion that mere knowledge is power and that to be wise is to be successful. Hut this is not the whole truth. Your knowledge is worth very little unless intelligently applied. Many honor students in high school and college are either failures or only partially suc- eessful in life due largely to the fact that they did not learn early in life how to apply or, il' you please, how to sell their knowledge. On the other hand many mediocre students become successful because they apply the little knowledge they possess and gradually increase their store of knowledge. Now, today, is the time for you to plan your summer's vacation. Dont idle away a month before making a plan, and when you have formed VOU1' plan carry it through to a successful conclusion. May your 1924 vacation he profitably spent! R. J. W. 'l'ElNlPLIN. 31- .

While in school you have learned to reverence God, the right, and your duty, and may each of you so live that you will not betray the trust that has been placed in you by those who have gone before and those who are to follow. May you live so that no act of yours will bring shame, but that your lives bring honor on this institution that molded your destinies into manhood and Womanhood.

THE BASE BALL TEAM Captain, Elmer Morgan Manager, Earl Bierly This year our school joined the Northern Division of the lnterscholastic Athletic League. Our showing in baseball was more or less unsatisfactory. The team played good ball but either through nervousness or anxiety the Wild throws and errors doomed our team to defeat. However, if the students would give the team their Whole hearted support by attending the games, a new feeling of encouragement would result and defeat would be turned into victory. Regardless of our record, the new players have gained valuable experience, so that in next year we place high hopes for base ball success. This year, we lose three of our best men, Burke, Patience and Williamson, but with Martin as pitcher next season some proud showing should be made regardless.

The team was composed of Captain Williamson, Manager Patience, Henshall, Brittain, Burke and Davies. The team did Very Well considering the condition of the track and the other handicaps. Williamson, coached by Mert Hill, did very Well in the indoor at Scranton, capturing first place in the 440 yard dash and third place in the half mile. The relay team which was composed of Williamson, Henshall, Patience and Brittain entered in four races. One at Philadelphia, April 26, Where they took third place in a very exciting race. They took first place in the one mile and half mile at Scranton, May 24. They also took second place in the relay race at the interscholastic meet at Wyoming Seminary, May 31. Williamson also secured Hrst place in the 440 yard dash and the high jump at the Seminary meet. This meet was the last meet which Williamson, Hen- shall and Patience had an opportunity to run for their Alma Mater. 1 5gli'5'g2i'f 35314 gait? 5 Quail 4, ,.,, ,lm ,.:,,,Q s 39 ' iw iv 1 as-muff ,Q THE SE IOR PLAY CAST OF CHARACTERS From left to right, Thomas Lefferts, Statistical Poet ttt,,,tttttttt,,,,ttttttt, Vergil Jones Cora Falkener, Mrs. Falkener's daughter,..,Helen M ac Queen Mrs. Falkener, Tucker's sister ,,rttt.,,,,tttttt,.V,,tttttttt Jean Stanton Solon Tucker, Crane's Atty. and guest tt.,,,4,rttt Elmer Morgan Amanda, Olivia's Black Mammy tttr,r,t,ttt,,,,,,,, M arran Winters Olivia Dangerfield, alias J ane-Ellen ll,,,l,ll,.ltl Margaret Killian Miss Anna L.

Soon after reorganization the class took definite steps towards arranging for the play and after careful delibera- tion chose the play Come Out of the Kitchen a three act comedy written by Alice Duer Miller and which was so successfully presented on the New York and London stages. The story of Come Out of the Kitchen, is woven around a family named Dangerfield, members of the old Virginian aristocracy who, -finding themselves financially embarrassed, decided toureipt their home io it gchf Yangiee. t O e f the terms of the ease ca s or a competen s a o wii e servan s to ble eciigaged for six weeks.

It ranks with the best High School orchestras of the valley and through its large membership it has achieved great excellence and flexibility in playing. It has been playing the better class of music Which Mr. Williams sincerely advocates. The orchestra through- out the year has assisted in the chapel exercises every morning and has also taken a prominent place in the Senior play, Junior oratorical contest and other school functions. It has appeared in conjunction with the glee club and grade pupils in several concerts. The orchestra Will close its year accom- panying the commencement exercises. The orchestra has been greatly aided this year by the faculty, who have taken an active interest in the organization. Early in the year the orchestra Was supplied With an adequate amount of new music including many of the more difficult compositions to the study of which the orchestra has devoted itself all year. Much credit is due Mr. Williams for his expert handling of the organization especially as the membership changes every year. The orchestra hopes for even greater progress next year.

The club was organized in the beginning of the school term and since that time has developed rapidly into a credit- able organization under the excellent leadership of Prof. T. R. Williams. The club practiced faithfully Weekly with Prof. Williams and their efforts were soon rewarded by becoming one of the leading organizations in the school. The Glee Club appeared twice in public, both times during the Music Week. Their selections were greatly appreciated by the audience as Well as were the selections by the other participants. The Glee Club has appeared in the school to sing numerous times, taking part in the entertainments and programs. The establishment of the Girls' Glee Club Was the first attempt in our High School for many years to organize anything along that line. It is Worthy of much praise for the rapid strides of progress it has made and it is our hope that the girls Will continue their rapid progress in the years to come.

It was organized for the purpose of bringing the student in closer contact with the political, foreign, moral, social and domestic affairs of the country. The Word Literary, to a great many people is vaguely associated with dry discourses and long lectures with which We are familiar. This idea may be all right in some fields of activity but in connection with the Literary So- ciety it is absolutely erroneous. What the boy or girl of today needs to know is the facts that make or mar our present day history and this is just What the Literary Society aims to do. lt gives the student practice in public speaking and enables him to talk fluently on subjects along varied lines. It teaches him to be self-reliant, broad-minded and assists him in forming opinions of his own. Such an organization as this should be formed in every school and We the members of this year's Society hope, next year, to make each student a mem- ber and in so doing really benefit our high school. aieiiaigsgiieii lkbal Q W ,J wda LP 545 '7 vl The thletic Association A. A. NEWS One of the most successful social events of the term was the foot ball ban- quet held in honor of our team at the D. A. R. building Dec. 21, 1923. Stewart Henshall was efficient in his part as toast master and carried the role excellently. Short, after-dinner speeches were given by members of the alumni, school board and others. Prof. Templin presented letters and gold foot balls to the various members of the team. Following the dancing on the floor above, the foot ball banquet came to a close and everyone felt as though a successful evening had been spent. WP Then came our basket ball dance held at the close of our membership drive for the A. A. The big feature of the evening was a Paul Jones entered into with a spirit of fun and the hours seemed to pass unnoticed. WP Buy a tag! Buy a tag. What on earth do you suppose that means? That just simply means that our A. A. had a tag day to raise sorely needed money to meet their expenses. Members of the fair sex of our A. A. were our willing helpers that day and realized the sum of 95200. What person of the masculine gender of course could resist buying a tag from one of these fair damsels who stood on every corner arguing them into buying a tag. The closing event of the A. A. was the bazaar, the proceeds of which went to the A. A. and the Comet. The bazaar was held on the West Pittston Public School Grounds and was attended by a large crowd. Each class had a booth and the Comet, the A. A. and the musical organizations had booths, where novelties, hot dogs, soft drinks, ice cream and candy were sold. One of the largest attractions of the bazaar was the side show run by the Comet. The show was complete having a fat lady, a snake chariner, the missing link and the only man in the world who could live under water. It had all the wild signs on the outside that a circus ever had and our showman did credit to himself yelling Come in and see the fat lady. The fattest lady on earth. Come right in. Dont shove. Zaza the snake charmer, come in and see her with her boa constrictorf' The bazaar was conducted two evenings and an afternoon and those who worked untiringly were rewarded for their efforts by the success of the bazaar and the neat sum which was realized.

S O MSU, High School Orchestra in REMINISCE T Still sits the schoolhousenfbut it doesn't, it has long since been turned about and transformed into a comfortable dwelling, the home for more than forty years of the late James R. Ehret. Only memories remain of the old structure, consisting originally of a two-story frame building, one room on each floor. From a small entry a door opened into the principalls room, and underneath the stairs leading to the upper floor the winter's supply of wood was kept. Neither shutters nor Heartshorn shades were in evidence, the sun's strong rays being shut out by blue cambric curtains, hung straight and plain from the window casing. When not needed they were tied in knots, not altogether artistic and thrown over a hat hook at one side. Fastened securely to the wall on either long side of the upper room, a desk was built extending its entire length, in front of which benches of different lengths were placed, to accommodate two or four pupils. This arrangement necessitated pupils sitting with their backs to the teacher. Crossing the room were rows of long benches, but not backless. A large stove in the center provided heat. On a very cold day considerable shifting was done, for those who sat too near the red hot stove were glad to exchange places with pupils farther distant who were as uncomfortably cold. It was no uncommon thing to find ink bottles burst with frost, unless they had been placed on the floor under the stove. Especially was this true on a Monday morning. A blackboard crossed one end of the room, and it was a really, truly board, painted and repainted until perfectly black with a surface very slightly rough. Lump chalk such as carpenters use for a chalk-line was the writing material, and a piece of sheep skin did the erasing. All class work was done on noisy slates, which were usually cleaned in a very unsanitary manner. The schools united for devotional exercises in the lower room. Then as the principal pointed on a wall map, the states and capitals were sung through, repeating each twice. The tune of Yankee Doodle made the multiplication tables quite inter- esting. With no Child Labor Law to interfere, and no Compulsory School Law, the responsibility of school attendance was thrown wholly upon the parent, and sadly irregular it often was. It was a long, long trail from such conditions to the first Year Book pre- pared by a senior class numbering not many less than the entire enrollment in the early days of the old brown school house on Yine Street. ee.-lim Oldtinzrr.

Coming amidst the bustle of commencement activities we have the pub- lication of the Senior Annual. This book has been published for the purpose of giving to the high school students and particularly the Seniors a record of the events which have made the year 1924 so gloriously successful. In gathering material for this Annual the Comet staff has been obliged many times to solicit from various members of the student body. The staff Wishes to thank those students together with the faculty, Pro- fessor Templin and the many business men in town who throughout the en- tire year have backed us in our endeavors. To the outgoing Seniors the staff extends the best wishes for success in anything that they may undertake and may this Annual serve to remind them of the happiest days of their lives spent under the Green and White. The Senior members of the Comet staff wish next year's staff the best of luck in their Comet work and to the faculty, student body and Alma Mater they bid a fond farewell.eThe Editor. HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATE He was as Dumb as a Kickapoo Indian after a Six Days' Spree. He was as Ignorant as a South Sea Islander is after a few days of Hula Hula parties. By this time, Oh Gentle Reader, you May have guessed that there were Two He's. Well, there Were! For convenience sake alone let us call them Jo and Bill. I think Jo and Bill are such classical fnczmes, dont you? Well, anyway, Jo and Bill both entered High School. Jo graduated at the end of his Freshman Year, and got a Job in the Steel Mill at 312.00 per week. Before very long the job was 320.00 per week, and by this time Jo was a regular Man Of The World. Meantime, Bill had plugged along in High School, at apparently 300.00 per. After four years of Hard Labor our young Hero graduated with Honors from his Alma Mater. By this time Jo was earning 325.00 per week, had about Ten girls, a car, etc., and Bill was starting off with Nothing but a Brain. At the end of Ten Years, Bill Smith was Happy and Contented with a fine, large Home and a Loving, Jolly Family. He eked out his existence as an expert General Manager of the Steel Works at 400 Plunkers each month, with plenty of time to play Golf, too. ' U Jo, he was earning 320.00 each week, lived in a 15 x 20 house down by the Gas Works, was Married, Ten children, and his idea of the reason he was Alive was so that he could get drunk Saturday night, sleep off his bangover on Sunday, and go to work at 320.00 per again on Monday. Even though you may not think so, the High School Student WILL win out.4C. C. U.

The tendency to Worry about things that cannot be changed or corrected. 3. Insisting that a thing is impossible because We ourselves cannot accomplish it. 4. Attempting to compel other persons to believe and live as We do. 5. Neglecting development and refinement of the mind by not acquiring the habit of reading line literature. 6. Refusing to set aside trivial preferences, in order that im- portant things may be accom- plished. 7. The failure to establish the habit of saving money.
