ALMA MATER
Ours is a school to love
Loyal by her we'll stand;
Mountains tower over her,
Solemn and grand;
Long they have reigned above,
Those Alleghenies nigh,
May they ever shelter there
Dear old Tyrone High.
When we are old and grey,
Memories will linger still;
Happy hours we've spent with thee
Their mission shall fulfill.
Life will be sweet and fair,
Joy shall awake anew;
We will ever faithful be,
Dear Alma Mater true.

Superintendent
Mr. Eisenhart has been with us throughout our entire four years, and his
constant and successful efforts to secure for us efficient instructors is
greatly appreciated.
Ode to the Faculty
Here's to the people who've taught us
Through all of our doubts and our fears;
Teachers who've carefully brought us
Over our four long years.
Faculty, here are our praises
For all of your work and your pain
Taken to show us our pathway,
Time and time over again.
Now we are leaving so boldly,
Hoping to win in the world;
And though we may meet it coldly,
We're sure that we never will yield.
Watchers of joy and of sorrow,
Here are our praises to thee;
Builders today for tomorrow,
Farewell, dear Faculty!

CLASS PROPHECY
In a Library
A PLAY IN ONE ACT
CHARACTERS - A History of the American People.
A 1945 Encyclopedia of Famous People.
PLACE - A Shelf in a Library.
TIME - Midnight, 1946.
Hist. - I am so glad it's midnight. Ever since you have been placed beside
me this morning I've been dying to speak to you and now the time has come when I
may.
Encyclo. - I have been a little curious myself. You know I am just off the
press and it feels so queer to be up here on this shelf. Just think what will
happen to my nice new back if I should fall.
Hist. - Well, don't worry, I have been here a year and haven't fallen yet.
My name is "A History of the American People." What's yours?
Encyclo - "The 1945 Encyclopedia of Famous People."
Hist. - That sounds interesting. I imagine you are just full of interesting
stories. I have been so bored lately. There was an old dictionary beside me, and
he was always asking me for stories and could never tell me anything thrilling
in return. Do tell me a story.
Encyclo. - Oh, my dear Hist. I think you ought to tell me one first. You
are the older and should speak first. Age before beauty, you know.
Hist. - Very well. What shall it be? Something about George Washington or
Abraham Lincoln?
Encyclo. - (In disgust.) Ah, no! Something about someone not so well known
and more recent. Some little group of people who have become famous, then
perhaps I can tell you something about each one of them.
Hist. - I am afraid I don't have any like that. Just a moment till I
consult my index. (He consults his index, seems to have a little difficulty,
then at last.) Ah, here is one that is very good. "The History of the Class of
1925 of Tyrone High School," page 287.
Encyclo. - That's fine. I know I have something about Tyrone.
Hist. - All right, here goes. In 1913 there entered in the schools of
Tyrone, Pennsylvania, a class of young boys and girls that was to become one of
the most famous in the lives of the American people. There were 211 who started
to school that fall in various buildings. There was little of the unusual done
(except for the marks the members of this group received) until they reached the
fifth grade. It was at this time that the World War was in progress, and there
was a great need for supplies in the Red Cross department. The boys of Room 6,
Adams Avenue School, knitted two comforts for this cause and received a letter
of honorable mention. In the eighth grade they again came into prominence
publicly in both Adams and Logan. At Adams there were originated boys' and
girls' basket ball teams, something never before done. At Logan about eight of
the girls formed themselves into a "Wohelo" Club. They had rings made for them
by a Spanish girl in the school, gave a party for their mothers, and at
Christmas season gave baskets to the poor. The Logan Avenue section at the close
of their last year there gave a large party to their teachers in appreciation
for the effort expended on them. The parents were also invited.
Then began the most important part of their life. High school! For the
first time they were all united into one large mass.
Encyclo. - Oh, I say, isn't mass rather a poor word to use?
Hist. - No, it isn't, for as yet they hadn't become a body. One half did
not know that the other half existed, and it was not until after they organized
and elected officers that they became a real body.
President - Clarence Eyer.
Vice President - Harold Miller.
Secretary - Claude Smith.
Treasurer - Wilbur Ammerman.
Social Manager - John Sprankle.
Their Freshman year they sailed through with every social event a success.
They demonstrated an unusual amount of school spirit, but that was only to be
expected. The most tragic part of this year was the loss of members. The total
number of Freshmen in the fall of 1921 was 149.
The Sophomore year was started with 114 of the 149 remaining. The officers
elected this time were:
President - Arthur Ferrier.
Vice President - Claude Smith.
Secretary-Treasurer - James Gardner.
Social Manager - Adaline Hoffman.
This year the athletics were greatly participated in by members of this
class and three of its members were leading characters in the school play,
"Kathleen." Their social successes eclipsed those of former years and added new
laurels to their crown.
In the fall of 1923, eighty-six members of the original class began their
Junior year. This time they chose new officers, and used an entirely new system.
There were two parties formed, each with its own candidates and its own
platform. By this system the following were elected:
President - James Black.
Vice President - Chester Edwards.
Secretary - Harold Miller.
Treasurer - Earle Westley.
Social Managers - Alta Shimer, Arthur Ferrier.
Their participation in school activities was even more intense. They were
prominent in basket ball, football, dramatics, and debating. With the Junior
Oratorical Contest was inaugurated another innovation. Instead of having each
contestant write his own speech, and consequently having them rather dull, they
gave things of various natures by worthy authors. Then followed the most
resplendent Junior "Prom" ever given.
Seniors! The goal of each member since the fall of 1913. At the beginning
of the year there were 51 in the class. They had lost many since their entrance
into High School, some leaving school, some dropping behind, but with those
remaining they made a record in their Senior year to be envied by classes gone
by, and one to be aspired to by those to come. Their class officers were:
President - Morris Morgan.
Vice President - Robert Boyer.
Secretary-Treasurer - Adaline Hoffman.
Social Manager - Frances Sickler.
In June of 1925 this illustrious body of young people set out into the
world. It is only necessary to look up the following in any encyclopedia to see
to what heights they have attained. (To Encyclo.) Then there are a lot of names.
What did you think of it?
Encyclo. - Very good. And I just have lots about each member of that class.
Hist. - Oh, do you? Tell me? I have often thought I should like to know
what became of them.
Encyclo. - Well, I am not going to take them alphabetically because that
makes it so tiresome.
Here's Alta Shimer, the -
Hist. - Encyclo., you just give me the story of them very briefly because
it is getting near the time when we will have to stop talking.
Encyclo. - All right. Alta Shimer, the famous interior decorator. After
leaving high school in 1925 she studied dancing under Ned Wayburn and was for
two years in Ziegfield Musical Comedies and Revues. During this time she did not
give up her original idea of being an interior decorator, and studied during the
day at Columbia University when not rehearsing for a new production. At the end
of two years she almost finished her course, and had saved enough money to
finish without dancing professionally. When ready to work she took the "bull by
the horns" and opened her own establishment. She soon won a reputation for
herself, and her business grew enormously. She is now living at 1724 Riverside
Drive, New York City, Her private secretary is an old schoolmate of hers, Myrtle
Stonebraker. Miss Stonebraker was holding a very responsible position in
Altoona, Pa., when Miss Shimer sent for her. Since she has been with Miss Shimer
she has received several offers from numerous business men in New York, but
prefers her work with Miss Shimer. That is about all for her. The next is Jon
Davisky.
Hist. - Why, surely there were not Russians in that class.
Encyclo. - No. Jon is not Russian. When he went to school he was John
Davis. He went to the Denisshawn School of Dancing for several years, then went
to Europe where he acquired great skill and the Russian sound to his name. He is
now recognized as one of the greatest dancers alive. On his first appearance in
New York he received the greatest applause that has ever greeted a dancer. He
started on a world-wide tour with his own company in 1944.
Hist. - Is that all about him?
Encyclo. - Yes. (A pause.) Here is Clara Grazier, a noted kindergarten
teacher and authoress. She spent several years in preparation for this work and
has been a very successful teacher in Philadelphia. She has written numerous
books dealing with kindergarten work, among which are "Kindergarten Work and
Play," and "The Ideal Kindergarten." She has also written a number of stories
for children of the age with which she works.
Hist. - I have always thought that a woman who did things like that would
make a lovely acquaintance.
Encyclo. - So have I. The next one is Albert Shollenberger, a mechanical
expert. His name is usually linked with that of Lee Wagner because of their
collaboration in their many inventions. These inventions have resulted in
decreasing the number of employed in a factory fifty per cent. They have both
realized huge fortunes. Wagner specializes on electricity and Shollenberger on
the mechanical side of their work. They have gained their position by constant
hard work. They are both happily married. (Pause while Encyclo. hunts through
for someone else.)
Oh, yes! Lewis Berkstresser, editor of the "Pittsburgh Press". After ten
years as a reporter and specialty writer for this paper, Berkstresser was made
one of the assistant editors. Five years later, in 1940, he was made editor. It
was some time after his promotion that he married Virginia Garman of Tyrone,
Pa., his home town. They are living in the Squirrel Hill section of Pittsburgh.
(Another pause for the same reason.)
Elizabeth Dawson, a champion typist. Her first conquest was the amateur
championship. Then followed the professional award to her in 1930. Since that
time she has been employed by the Underwood Typewriter Company. It is rumored
that she will soon leave the public eye and become the typist for some lucky
man.
Hist. - Hum! Sounds like a scandal paper.
Encyclo. - Yes, my author believed in putting a little of that sort of
thing in.
Robert Boyer, mining engineer of great note, because of this work in
Alaska. Having completed his college course, he was employed for several years
by different firms. In 1933 he took a position offered him by the government and
since that time has been in Alaska. Aside from the mere technical side of his
work, he has written a number of exceedingly interesting novels dealing with
Alaskan life. (Pause, just a short one.)
Ralph Hall, the noted millionaire. His fortune is almost uncomputable. In 1940
when he paid Norman Hazel, the best accountant available, $200,000.00 to go over
his books, records, and so forth. The more Mr. Hazel worked, the larger became
the figures. The total of his fortune is not printed here because the pages are
not wide enough to carry all the figures.
Hist. - He must have been wealthy! (Wonderingly.) How did he get it all?
Encyclo. - That is the queer part of it. My author doesn't say. But just
imagine getting $200,000.00. He must be a real accountant.
Now here is Adaline Hoffman, a prominent social worker. She and her friend,
Frances Sickler, have done a great deal of good in the city of New York with
their settlement houses and kindred good works. They have influenced a number of
the prominent New York business men to support this work. It is interesting to
note one of the ways they used of obtaining the aid of the greatest criminal
lawyers in the country, Morris Morgan, His private secretary was an old
classmate of theirs, Margaret Benson, and through her help they kept the matter
so continually before him that at length he came through and has not only given
them his own aid, but secured the assistance of a number of his acquaintances.
Hist. - They must be awfully clever girls to do that. And his secretary,
she must have been of invaluable help.
Encyclo. - You have no idea? Something occurred (it is whispered that an
old school friend, "Timmy" Garman, had thrown him over) that had embittered him
against life and so that made the job doubly difficult. What do you suppose the
next one is?
Hist. - I have no idea.
Encyclo. - A missionary. Her name is Ruth Rhodes. She is in China and is
very successful. Her articles that appear in "Home and Foreign Missions" are
looked forward to with great expectation by the readers. (Pause.)
Harry Wooden, an electrical expert of note, has been connected for the last ten
years with the General Electric Company of Pittsburgh, Pa. He has advanced
steadily and is now superintendent of one of the numerous divisions. Here is
another Davis. Seth his name is.
Hist. - Is he a brother of the dancer.
Encyclo. - I don't know. It is likely, though, for he is a theatrical
producer. He has taken the place of Ziegfield in the field of the sensational
revue. He began at the bottom and worked up to the position he now occupies.
Each year's production is more sumptuous than the last. He is truly a genius in
his line. (A long pause to get breath.)
Charles Ginter, the corporation lawyer of the Packard Motor Car Company.
Having finished his schooling at Harvard, he began his practice of law and soon
came into the public eye. It was at this time that the Packard Company lost
their lawyer, and in looking for another to fill his place, chose Ginter. He
steadily advanced and is now the Vice-president of the Company.
Leroy Williams, Cleveland's city engineer. Williams did not have a "drag"
or anything of the kind. He has won his position through merit and hard work
alone. It was only in 1938 that he received his present position which he is
filling so admirably. The city is honored to get such a competent civil
engineer.
Hist. - They seem to have scattered pretty well over the world, don't they?
Encyclo. - Yes. Now, there is one in California. Arthur Ferner is head of
the English Department at the University of California. He is the youngest
professor who has ever attained that position. His name has been mentioned for
presidency but has been rejected on account of his age only. His wife is Frances
Gordon, who taught music for a number of years at the University and gave
numerous recitals, before becoming Mrs. Ferner. They have a lovely home in the
California Hills. (The silent leafing of pages is heard.)
Sara Snyder, the noted physician. She has made some of the most remarkable
discoveries in the line of medicine that have been made in the last half
century. Her hospital in Baltimore is one of the best in the land. (More pages
turned.)
Margaret Woodring is a member of the Metropolitan Opera Company. After
leaving high school and studying for several years in this country, she went to
Europe and there, under the master hand of Manestro Piatre Carconatre, developed
one of the best voices ever heard. She appeared in several operas in Paris, then
went to South America, where she was wonderfully received. Upon her arrival in
this country, the Metropolitan Opera Company seized upon her. She has been
acclaimed one of their greatest sopranos.
My goodness, here are three of that class who are working together, Harold
Miller, Walter Thomas, and Earle Westley, a triumvirate of electrical geniuses
who are at the head of one of the most progressive electrical firms in the
country. Their large plant, located at their home town, Tyrone, Pa., is modern
in every sense of the word and their typists and secretaries - Alice Scruders
acting as office manager - are kept in a constant maze of work. Without Miss
Scruders' cool head governing each action there would be chaos. The owners
realize this and are kept in constant fear lest she should get married and leave
them in the lurch. They have tried to get her to sign a time contract, but she
refuses.
Hist. - That must be a big boost for the town.
Encyclo. - It must be. Now here is Vivian Weighaman, the famous pianist and
artist. She has just recently finished painting the frieze in the new library at
Washington, D. C. As a pianist she is universally recognized, having toured
throughout the United States and Europe. (More rustling of pages is audible.)
Edna Fink has won recognition as a court stenographer. It was in the famous
Stoddard vs. The State of Pennsylvania case when her faultless notes turned the
tide of justice.
Hist. - Would you think such a thing possible?
Encyclo. - No, I wouldn't, but such a thing has happened.
Viola Kephart is the author of "Comprehensive French" in three volumes, for
high school text-books. She is head of the French and Algebra Departments in
Peabody High School, Pittsburgh.
Joseph Gardner is one of the largest retail druggists in the United States.
He has several hundred stores scattered all over the country. From 1940 to 1944
there were two hundred new Gardner Drug Stores opened in various towns and
cities.
Janet Smith, a famous traveler. She began her career when she won an auto
race at Cincinnati, Ohio. This was the only venture of this kind and since 1932
she has been a representative of the National Geographic Society. She has been
in almost every quarter of the globe and her accounts of her adventures are
thrillingly told.
Hist. - That always seemed to me to be an ideal position - just
traveling.
Encyclo. - Here are William Gunter and John Hiltner, second Edisons. These
two men have filled the place left vacant by Thomas Edison. They believe that
"two heads are better than one" and so get a great deal accomplished. Every one
is familiar with their many, many inventions in every-day use. Their "Static
Eliminator" alone is worthy of undying praise.
Regina Moffet is the private secretary to the husband of one of her school
friends, Roberta Brower Lamborn. Mr. Lamborn is one of the most influential men
in the country and all of his articles for the press and his speeches are
criticized by Miss Moffet.
"The Mountain Heights Sanitorium" is one of the most famous rest-cure
resorts in the country. Situated high in the Allegheny Mountains, it is ideal in
location. Expert treatment for every malady is given by a very competent corps
of nurses headed by the owners of the institution, Elizabeth Chamberlain.
Dorothy Fleck, Helen Flenner, and Emily Mattern. This sanatarium has doubled its
size in the last four years and the owners are far from being in any financial
difficulties.
Hist. - What do you think of that kind of place? I think they must be
grand. Frequently after my back has been bent I feel as if I needed such a
place.
Encyclo. - I would like to spend some time there myself.
Ethel Hickes, author of the "Hickes' System of Shorthand." Miss Hickes, a
teacher herself for many years, developed her own system of shorthand and it has
been adopted in many schools, the number increasing each year.
John Miller, one of the most famous artists and cartoonists of the present
day. His painting, "Grey Dawn," received first prize at the Metropolitan Art
Exhibit three years ago, (1942) and his occasional cartoons are truly gems of
satire. He is one of the few artists whose works will remain, not for a time,
but for all time.
John Funk, the city engineer of Tyrone, Pa., received a great
responsibility when the electrical works went up, but he bore it splendidly with
the aid of Bonnalyn Price Funk, his wife.
Hist. - Did he belong to the Class of '25?
Encyclo. - No, but his wife did. After all, you know, it's the wife that
really counts.
Now, here is Edward Kelly, the actor. He became famous through his great
success in the title role of Rostand's play, "Cyrano de Bergerac." He has been
off the stage for some months resting at his summer home at Port au Prince from
his strenuous labors. The public has gone wild over his acting and his new play,
opening at the Century Theatre, New York City, in October, 1945, will probably
be given to capacity houses.
Kathleen Stover has become notable through her "Manual for Teachers." Her
book is full of practical suggestions that she knows from experience will have
effect.
Joseph Meredith, the head of the Directorial Staff of the Woolworth Five
and Ten Cent Stores, Inc., owes much of his success to the untiring efforts of
his wife, Gladys Stover Meredith. It was she who kept his eye always fixed on
the position just ahead. He started in as just a stockroom clerk and is now one
of the highest salaried men in the company.
Hist. - That just shows what perseverance can do, doesn't it?
Encyclo. - It certainly does. Now I have come to the last two of this
class.
Hist. - It is about time, for in a few minutes it will be dawn and then we
will have to keep quiet.
Encyclo. - These two are William Metcalfe and James Durham, the finest
mechanical engineers in the country. Their most notable work was the Providence
Bridge, which is said to be the most wonderful bridge in the world. These two
men are kept on the jump continually from one side of the continent to the
other. They -
(But the faint rays of dawn have crept into the dark corner of the library and
the two books close with a snap. As the light increases, the curtain falls.)

The Class of 1926
This marks the close of a very successful year for the Junior class of
Tyrone High School. Our class has diminished but little since we have been the
Class of '26. As is true of most of the Freshman classes now entering the high
school, we were, at the time we entered, the largest class ever entering the
school. Of course it took then more room to accommodate the class than it does
now, but after all we feel like the same old "bunch" and we certainly have not
lost our spirit.
No one can truthfully say that we have been inactive in school activities
because a good number of the players in both football and basketball are
Juniors. All three of the cheer leaders are Juniors and that is saying quite a
lot because every one admits that the cheer leaders this year were especially
good.
As for socials and other class activities we have not fallen short. To
begin with, the officers were very efficient and have handled class affairs with
the attitude of experienced men. On Monday, September 8, 1924, the class met and
selected the officers to serve for the school year.
Then came the question of who should be our Dean. By a unanimous vote Miss
Bayle was chosen to help steer our class successfully through the year. Miss
Bayle has had, shall we say, the privilege of being home room teacher of the
Junior boys and they in turn have enjoyed her fellowship and helpful
suggestions.
We felt quite proud of our class rings this year because they were a little
different from any other style ring of any previous classes and the day they
arrived there was no containing the Juniors. So great was the excitement that
the rings were not given out until after school hours.
Peggy Miller proved herself to be a very good social manager in the one
party that we gave. All the class strove hard to make the party a success and
they surely did. The party this year was quite different from any other party we
had held before, and also different from any of the previous class parties. The
corridor of the high school was decorated with floor lamps, carpets, pennants,
large comfortable chairs, and all sorts of fancy decorations. The entertainment
was well prepared and was enjoyed by all the guests. The eats were served with
the usual good style which the Juniors are capable of displaying.
The sledding party was a great success. Some say it was a hike, but
everyone proclaimed they had loads of fun, so we cannot complain if everyone had
a good time. Myra Miller, an accomplished Junior, held numerous parties which
were attended largely by members of our class.
At this time we cannot say as to how the "Prom" will turn out, but we are
hoping to make it rank among the best and think we may safely say that we will.
Mr. Slaybaugh frequently reminds us that we will soon be Seniors, and so we
will. It doesn't seem possible that three whole years have sped around so
quickly, but here it is 1925 and we graduate in 1926. So let us hold together
and keep the old spirit until at last we depart from the halls of our beloved
Alma Mater.
JAMES L. GRAZIER, '26.
A JUNIOR SONNET
When in disgrace in mom and papa's eyes,
I all alone beweep my bum report,
And trouble-deaf teachers with my bootless cries
To change my grades, they only stand and snort.
I wish me like to one more rich in A's,
Able to bluff like him, like him with brains possessed,
Desiring this boy's luck and winning ways,
With the D's I always get contented least.
Yet in these thoughts, of passing clean despairing,
Haply I think of thee, dear Tyrone High,
Of all the fun and friends, athletic daring,
Which I shall miss when I have left thee, why
Then I'm glad to flunk and linger here,
To have more fun and cultivate good cheer.

The Sophomore Class
The Class of 1927 was organized last year and from the day that it first met
as a class until the present time it has been prominent in every branch of
school life. During the Freshman year the class gave evidence of unusual
strength and ability, causing its more sturdy opponents to wonder if they had
not met their equals.
Shortly after returning to school last fall a new group of officers were
elected, and under their guidance and leadership, 1927 has been developing
materially, not only in class work but also in school activities.
With the election of class officers came the choosing of class colors -
blue and silver. Of course with the selection of colors came the demand for
class caps. And, when they arrived, the upper classmen were much surprised to
find that the originality of our caps showed that we did not need their ideas to
help us with ours.
But best of all! "Sopho's Circus" proved to be the hit of the season. Upon
entering the building that night everything seemed to be in a turmoil for it was
Circus Day. The corridor was so well camouflaged that one thought that he was
not in "Make Believe" but in "Reality." The first event was the parade,
consisting of the Siamese Twins, rope walkers, minstrels, clowns, wild animals,
the fat lady, smallest and tallest men, and last of all poor Cinderella (Betty
Moffet) drawn in her coach by her two favorite horses. The gallant Prince
Charming and Noble King were portrayed by Ken Lewis and Rowdy Miller. The Orange
and Black Orchestra furnished the music throughout the evening. The fortune-
telling booth, side shows, clogging, and last of all - the eats, helped to make
"Sopho's Circus" a real success. This may sound too boastful - but we are proud
of our Class of '27. And why not? Never before in the history of T. H. S. was
there ever such a successful party.
If you will look over the cast of players for "Princess Bonnie" and
"Fleurette" you will notice that some of the best dancers are members of our
class. Not only that but you will find a large number of us in the different
musical organizations.
Our class does not lack in athletics. The Sophomore Class has been well
represented in the major sports of the school, football and basketball. We are
proud of our athletic record up to this time and there are still two years ahead
of us in which we expect to achieve greater things.

The teacher's mercy is much strained;
It droppeth as the frozen hail from heaven
Upon the place beneath (pretty hard);
It curseth those that give and those that take;
It is the cruelest ofthe cruel; it becomes
The throned teachers better than their specs;
Their red ink shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of pupils.
Mercy should season our marks. Therefore, teachers,
Though justice be thy plea, consider this -
That in the course of justice, none of us
Should see graduation. We do pray for mercy.

The Freshman Class
The history of the Freshman Class began with its organization. On February
2, 1925, a meeting was called and a fair representation of the class, with Mr.
Bell as moderator, met to organize into a single unit the largest, (and we think
the finest) class of boys and girls ever to enter the Tyrone High School. At
this meeting the officers were elected.
The Freshman Class has firmly resolved to work together with such vigor
that the time when they became a unit shall mark an epoch in the history of
Tyrone High School.
A few days later Miss Ash was appointed our class dean. We feel sure that
with Miss Ash as our dean, to direct and encourage us, we will accomplish great
things toward the betterment of ourselves and the school in general.
Several days later a meeting was called and Miss Ash was given a standing
vote of confidence and thanks. A few announcements were made concerning our
future activities and the first real meeting of our class was adjourned.
We met for the second time about a week later. At this meeting we had some
real business to transact. The selection of our class colors was discussed. Many
were suggested, and the final vote taken showed our selection to be cherry and
white. The committees for the year were appointed. They stand as follows:
Social Committee - Chairman, Betty Hepler; Geraldine Gingerich, Christy
Albright, Joseph McWilliams, Mary Kessler.
Lookout Committee - Farran Zerbe, Phyllis Kinkead, Arthur Moore, Lorraine
Batchelor, Marjorie Garman,
Then as a grand finale to this meeting it was announced that the Freshman
Social would be held Friday, February 27, 1925. So the Social Committee with the
aid of Miss Ash worked untiringly to make our first party a success. On Friday
at 8 p. m., about 75 Freshmen assembled in the lower corridor to enjoy the
party. The party was held in the form of an entertainment for the King and Queen
of Freshmen Land.
The following program was given:
Selection - Orchestra
Spanish Dance - Nineveh Kirk, Josephine Kanour
Eating Contest - John Grazier, Albert Freeman
Selection - Orchestra
Sketch - Freshman Girls
Uke Selection - Mary Kessler, Betty Hepler
Class Prophecy - Elizabeth Van Scoyoc
Song - Mary Kessler, Marjorie Garman
Selection - Orchestra
At the completion of the program, refreshments were served. Needless to
say - they were "enjoyed by all." About 10:30 p.m. the orchestra played "Home
Sweet Home." We took the hint and left, everyone saying he felt the party was
the very best ever. We've heard it rumored, too, that it was the very best of
the season.
This is only the beginning. We intend to do much more, but as the FALCON
goes to press early, we can only record the first of the activities of the Class
of 1928.
GRAHAM CHARLES, '28.
TO A FRESHMAN
(With Apologies to Shakespeare.)
Is this a Freshman I see before me,
His back towards the wall? Come, roll this eraser.
I clutch thee not, yet I see thee still.
Art thou not, most ungracious rubberneck,
Going to come to papa; or art thou going
To dodge me? I see thee still;
And on thy bib are spots of egg
Which were not there yesterday.
I see this still; thou takest me the way thou are going;
Mine eyes are made the tools of mine brain,
My feet also. Aha! At last!
Kneel, thou beast, roll that eraser, thou brute.
Dost thou like it? Well, like it.
Or like it not, roll it, I tell you.
(Pause to indicate lapse of time.)
I go, it is done, the bell summons me.
Hear it not, gummie, for it invites thee to thy doom,
Which will be met pretty soon.

History of "The Spokeman" for 1925
A few days after the beginning of the school term, 1924-25 the "Spokesman"
staff was appointed by Miss Bayle, faculty advisor. As soon as the staff had
had a meeting to lay plans, its members with the help of a few other students
waged a campaign for subscriptions. The first sign of the drive was seen in
Chapel where a play was staged which emphasized the fact that everyone needed
the "Spokesman." Two teams, Orange and Black, were then organized and through
the rivalry a large circulation list was obtained.
The first issue of the "Spokesman" was an introductory edition, the first
one of its kind of which we know. This issue was of course small, having been
published so early in the year, but it truly represented the excellence of the
numbers to come.
The next number was dedicated to the Freshmen, which is more recognition
than Freshmen of other schools usually receive. True to the class it was
dedicated to, it was published in a bright green cover.
The next number of note was the one given over to the campaign for a Junior
High School. In this issue the school body was awakened to the inadequate
facilities for education in our present building.
During the year the old custom of setting aside a day of each month as
"Spokesman Day" was discontinued. Material suitable for the "Spokesman" was
obtained from the regular work of the English classes.
The Staff has been tireless in its efforts to publish a good paper. "Art"
Ferner, Editor-in-Chief, added to his already endless labors by serving as
Editor for several departments during their regular head's absence. Robert Boyer
with his assistant, Josephine Kanour, worked hard to make the Literary
Department interesting and succeeded. Edward Kelly with his force of reporters
made the School News Department bigger and better than ever. Morris Morgan,
assisted by Clara Grazier, very ably wrote up the football and basket ball
games. Adaline Hoffman should be commended for the efficient manner in which she
kept us in touch with the Alumni. And in like manner the heads of the other
departments, Roberta Brower as Joke Editor, who although she left school during
the second semester made an enviable record with her assistants, James Black and
Marlin Stewart; Alta Shimer, and Ernest Weyant, who later took her position, as
Exchange Editors: and Josephine Derr as Music Editor, did their utmost to make
their departments measure up to the ideals of former editors.
Jack Miller and Gerald Flenner gave the "Spokesman" a classy appearance
with their original cuts. We were to be congratulated for having artists of so
much talent on the staff.
Lee Wagner as Circulation Manager. the Advertising Manager, Joseph Cady,
and James Durham, his successor, with their force of assistants, and William
Metcalfe as Business Manager, saw to the delivering and financing of the
"Spokesman." By their labors, especially in advertising, the Spokesman was made
possible. Much appreciation too is due to the business men of the town who
advertised in the "Spokesman."
The school contributed some very good material to the "Spokesman" this
year. A box was placed in the lower corridor for collecting jokes and stray
news. In this way everyone could be a "Spokesman" reporter.
May the students of T. H. S. in the future be as successful with the
publishing of the "Spokesman" as we have been in the past year. And may the
staffs in after years excel in that in which this year's staff has failed. We
hope the day will come when the "Spokesman" will have the honor of being the
perfect school paper.
ERNEST WEYANT, '26.
Gen Three Club
The Gen Three Club had their first meeting at the beginning of this school
year for the purpose of electing officers. Sam Thompson was made President. The
other officers elected were Vice President, Ethel Hickes; Secretary, Jo Kanour;
and Treasurer, James Gwin.
The aim of the Gen Three Club this year, as it has been for the last two
years, is to present the Commercial Department with some article of equipment.
Last year the Club purchased a filing cabinet for the department. This year it
contemplates purchasing an adding machine which is much needed in Commercial
work.
We planned another Christmas party this year, but due to the scarlet fever
epidemic, school was closed earlier than anticipated: the result was no party.
At the next meeting it was decided there would be a debate: the question
was: "Resolved: That Pitman Shorthand is Better Than Gregg." The judges of the
debate were Mr. Eisenhart, Mr. Bell, Miss Bayle. Dr. Farrand, and Mr. Elwood
Snyder. The debaters for the affirmative were Charles Ginter, Margaret Benson,
Jo Kanour, and Wilbur Schaul. For the negative, Chester Edwards, Jo Derr, Albert
Shollenberger, and Ethel Hickes. The arguments of both sides were fine in fact,
so equally matched that the decision was 3-2 in favor of the affirmative. This
debate was especially interesting because there has been a possibility of
introducing Gregg Shorthand into the high school. Many interesting features of
each system were brought to light.
"Gee Three" is a strictly Commercial club, organized three years ago. The
members must be Juniors or Seniors. Every person in order to be eligible to join
the club must have a good scholastic standing or they are dropped from the roll.
This tends to keep a membership of interested workers. All Commercials are glad
to be members of this organization and we feel sure we shall always be proud of
the "Gee Three" Commercial Club, and the work it has done in the school.

The "Hi-Y" Club [photo]
Early in November Mr. McFeaters and the Boys' Work Committee of the Y. M.
C. A. met with about eighteen boys with the intentions of organizing a "Hi-Y"
Club in Tyrone, and, after sending eight boys to the Lewistown Older Boys'
Conference, we organized our club.
Now it is in full swing with a full roll of thirty members of the three
upper classes of Tyrone High and of the Y. M. C. A. The officers of the club
are:
JAMES L. GRAZIER - President
EDWARD KELLY - Vice President
JOSEPH B. CADY - Secretary and Treasurer
Their work is already being noticed. They have had several social and
religious events which have benefitted the community and they are living up to
the purpose for which they organized - "To create, maintain, and extend
throughout the high school and community, high standards of Christian
character."

Glee Clubs
It is impossible to say that Tyrone Hi does not have a good "ear for
music," as the saying goes, and for the year '24-'25, Orpheus seems to have
showered an unusual amount of melody into our midst.
Miss Zimmers, the very able director of the Glee Clubs, led us into new and
interesting channels, and it must be admitted, that it was more or less
fascinating.
At the beginning of the term, it was decided that the one-quarter credit
would not be given to members who missed more than three practices without legal
excuses. This was in accordance with the state laws, and the clubs did very well
in observing and upholding the regulation.
A great amount of money was spent in buying music for the Orchestra and
Glee Clubs, and many hard but worth-while hours were spent in practicing such
masterpieces as "Meditation," based on the Bach-Gounod "Ava Maria;" "Serenade,"
by Schubert; "Amaryllis," the fanciful French dance song, and lighter melodies
such as "To a Wild Rose." by MacDowell. The Girls' Glee Club contributed these
lovely songs, while the Boys' worked long and faithfully at the "Beduoin Love
Song," "Absent," "Soldiers' Chorus" from Faust. and the "Invictus." All these
are to be presented to the public some time in April, but at the time of this
writing, the event has not yet occurred. However, if it is as successful as the
short concerts have been, which were given in chapel, we can be sure of an
extremely artistic recital.
During the year. many of the Glee Club members gave short sketches, sang or
played in chapel, and it surely did improve the assembly period, which would
have often lacked in pep otherwise. Some of these people were:
Ed Kelly - Singing the lovely Chinese melody "No Tickee-No Shirtee:" for an
encore, the passionate "At Dawning," ("I Love You"). Both of these were rendered
in a highly brilliant manner. Harold Miller "dripped" the accompaniment.
Margaret Woodring - Singing first "By the Waters of Minnetonka," and then
"In an Old Garden." Peg has a good voice and it surely was beautiful. She also
played several of MacDowell's numbers.
Frances Sickler - Sang "O Sole Mio," and "A Kiss in the Dark." During the
rendition of the latter, a noticeable "Oh" went over the boys' section of the
assembly.
Mildred Berringer-Playing several beautiful compositions. One was by
Rachmaninoff, and one by Rubenstein. They were both lovely.
"Sally" Taylor played "Valse Arabesque" and "The Rosary." Both were done
splendidly. She also played a duet in company with Peg Miller.
John Davis sang "Memory Lane." Due to the short length of time, an encore
was prohibited, but we enjoyed what was sung.
Margaret Campbell played several very pretty selections and they were
greatly appreciated.
"Jo" Derr sang "The World is Waiting for the Sunrise" and "Moon Dream
Shore."
Dick Hamer, John Davis, George Eschbaugh, and Art Ferner sang several songs
as a quartet.
All these participants are very talented, and for their share toward making
chapel interesting, Miss Zimmers thanks them.
Much of the material for the John B. Rogers play this year was supplied by
the Glee Clubs, and we are sure that much of the success of that production is
due to the trained talent which forms the membership of these organizations. The
singing both of the principals and of the chorus members of "Fleurette" was
indeed excellent. We feel certain, however, that had it not been for the fact
that the voices were trained and developed in the Glee Clubs that the musical
numbers would have been much less effective.

The Home Economics Club
The first meeting of the Home Economics Club was held this year Monday, the
first of December. The following officers were elected:
President - CATHRYN HARDY
Vice President - ELIZABETH VAN SCOYOC
Treasurer - ELIZABETH WALKER
Secretary - FRANCES CADY
Press Agent - DOROTHY BROWER
Corresponding Secretary - HELEN GOSS
Under the efficient directing of the Club's advisor, Miss Lucas, several
very interesting and instructive programs have been given. In February a
"Children's Party" was given and proved a great success. The following program
was presented
A Solo - Margaret Gates
Violin Duet - Janet Hepler, Adelaide Gingerich
Vocal Duet - Mary Kessler, Frances Cady
Reading - "By Courier" - Frances Sickler
"Recreation in the Home" Miss Luella McAllister
A "Dumb Play" - A Lighthouse Tragedy
A "Stunt" - Gervis Hoover
The guests came to the party attired as children, and refreshments in
keeping with the idea of the evening were served.
The members of the Club intend to give a play some time this spring. We are
sure that they will make as great a success of this as they have of everything
else that they undertake. They are an enterprising group, and since they are the
only Freshman Club in high school, they hold a unique place in our
organizations.

The French Club
(LE CERCLE FRANCAIS)
In an effort to further the study of the French language, a French Club was
formed on November 3, 1924, by the second year French Class. To speak things
French, to do things French; in general, to be French as nearly as an American
can be, was the idea the club wished to carry out at its meetings.
The first thing done was to elect officers. Those who are guiding the club
through its stormy first year are:
President - ALTA SHINIER
Vice President - VIVIAN WEIGHAMAN
Secretary and Treasurer - ADALINE HOFFMAN
Chairman Program Committee - CLARA GRAZIER
Miss Lovelass acts as the advisor of the club and to her it owes the
success of everything it has undertaken. The club is very grateful to her for
her splendid help.
It was decided that no first year French students should be taken in until
they had completed at least a half year of French; however, as this copy goes to
press no action has been taken in connection with the admission of members other
than the original Seniors.
The members of the club realize that only through speaking and hearing
French can they attain the highest degree of perfection. For this reason the
program committee takes great care in selecting programs that the members, at
the present, are able to handle and understand.
Speeches, readings, and games in French, as well as solos and songs by the
entire club, are a few of the things that have made the club meetings
entertaining and at the same time beneficial.
It is the sincere hope of the club that the work it has started, will be
carried on from year to year by the French classes who follow them.

ATHLETICS
Football [photo]
About September 1st a call for football material was sent throughout the
high school. About thirty-five men came out for practice. Coach "Buck" Skean
divided these men into teams and hard practice followed. Eleven letter men were
back but some of these were scrubs on last year's team. The team lost Benford,
Thomas F. Stonebraker, Woodring and Waite. However, their places were ably
filled by other men. The team practiced from the close of school till dark and
stuck to it. "Buck" gave the men a slogan which was: "A Team That Won't Be
Beaten, Can't Be Beaten." The men used this slogan and it worked wonders on
them. The team won nine games, tied one, and lost none. It was truly a
championship year.
The football season opened on September 27th, the opponent being Saxton
High, the place at home. Saxton lost to the tune of 69-0. Tyrone scored almost
at will upon their lighter opponents. Ammerman was the star of the game, getting
over half of the touchdowns. At least two touchdowns were made in every period.
The next game of the season was played with Lewistown at Tyrone. Tyrone was
defeated last year by Lewistown by a 21-13 score. Tyrone got revenge this year
by handing them a 12-0 defeat. The game was mostly fought in the center of the
field but Tyrone, by clever forward passing, succeeded in scoring two
touchdowns. Ammerman again starred.
The third game was played at home with Philipsburg the victims. Last year
Philipsburg held Tyrone to a 21-21 tie. This year Tyrone won from them to the
tune of 33-7. Philipsburgs' lone tally came when a forward pass was intercepted
and a Philipsburg man ran 90 yards for a touchdown.
The next game was also played at home with Mifflintown High. Mifflintown
came over with a good reputation. having won all of their games played up to
that time. Tyrone sent them back with the short end of a 55-0 score. Ammerman
again did some brilliant playing.
Tyrone journeyed to Roaring Springs on October 25th and crushed the Springs boys
under a 61-0 score. Although Tyrone was outweighed both in the line and
backfield, Roaring Springs did not know football as Tyrone did. Every man in the
backfield scored touchdowns. Ammerman led with 36 points. Thompson was next with
12.
On November 1st Huntingdon, our old rival, came to Tyrone. The game was
scheduled for 3:00 but due to a delay at the "Y" the game did not start until
3:30. The game started off with a rush, Tyrone receiving the ball, and, by
straight football, marched right down the field for a touchdown, Ammerman
carrying the ball over and kicking the extra point. Huntingdon held the rest of
the first and also the second period. At the start of the second half the game
was fought out in midfield but at the beginning of the last period Tyrone took
the ball and with Hessler's line plunging finally arrived near enough to the
goal line to have Ammerman take the ball over. Final score was 14-0.
On November 8th, State College High football team came to Tyrone expecting
to take home the bacon. They went home on the small end of a 7-6 score. If it
had not been for Ammerman's educated toe, the score would have been 6-6.
The first quarter was a punting duel between State College and Tyrone,
Ammerman having the edge on State. During the second quarter Tyrone broke loose
and Ammerman carried the ball over for 6 points. He kicked the extra point;
score 7-0, Tyrone. During the third quarter State came back and got a touchdown
but failed to kick the extra point, due to nice blocking by Stonebraker, our
guard. Score 7-6, Tyrone. So it stood at the end of the game. State College last
year won from us by a 21-0 score. This shows that Tyrone has improved.
November 15th, Tyrone went to Altoona where they were held to a 6-6 tie
score. Tyrone outplayed Altoona in all points of the game and if it had not been
for penalties which amounted to 120 yards, Tyrone would have won. The game
started with a bang. Altoona received but fumbled, Tyrone recovering on
Altoona's 30 yard line. On the next play the diminuative Charlie "Peewee" Ginter
took the ball over for six points. Ammerman's kick was blocked. Altoona with
straight football coupled with penalties against Tyrone took the ball over. It
was at this point that Stonebraker probably saved the day as he blocked their
kick. Score 6-6. In the third quarter Ammerman tried two field goals but they
both failed. In the fourth quarter Tyrone marched steadily down the field until
they reached the 35 yard mark. Ginter received the ball and was over the goal
line but was recalled as the referee accused Stonebraker of slugging, which
Tarzan declared was false. Tarzan was put out of the game and the team penalized
45 yards. Tyrone was again making a determined march down the field when the
whistle blew thus ending a 6-6 tie.
November 22nd. Juniata came to Tyrone. The Tyrone scrubs were out in to
start the game. Owing to a fumble Juniata made a touchdown. The varsity was
then put in and before the end of the game Tyrone had piled up 74 points. Score,
Juniata 6, Tyrone 74.
November 27th, commonly known as Turkey Day, the Tyrone team motored to
Hollidaysburg where they downed Hollidaysburg by the score of 20-0. Tyrone early
in the second period and again later went over for a touchdown. The extra point
was added both times. In the last period by hitting off-tackle Tyrone went over
again. Ammerman was the star, scoring the entire 20 points. Thus ended the most
successful season Tyrone had ever had in football. Tyrone is again tied with
Altoona for the Blair County Championship.
Ammerman is the leading point scorer in Pennsylvania, making 210 points.
The team is ranked as the fourth highest scoring team in the State and Tyrone
thinks it is the best of all teams.
Too much credit can't be given to "Buck" Skean.
Tyrone will lose Wagner, Wooden, Ginter, Shollenberger and Davis by
graduation this year.

Basketball [photo]
About twenty-five men came out for basketball practice.
The coach dwindled these down to about fifteen men and then worked hard,
handicapped as he was, with only two nights of practice a week, to turn out a
good basketball team.
The season was opened at home with Reade Hi. Tyrone won 65-10. Wooden was
high scorer and star of the evening. The team was composed of Wooden, Smith,
Stonebraker (Capt.), Ammerman, and Epstein.
The second game was with the Alumni and the Alumni even with the help of
"Heine" Stewart, and "Murph" Candy had to dip their colors to the Hi varsity.
The score was 33-21. Smith was high scorer with Ammerman and Giles tied for
second place on the varsity. "Heinie" as usual, led the Alumni.
Tyrone High won the third straight victory when they downed State College
High by a 35-13 score. Tyrone was in no danger at any time but it was a fine,
clear game of basketball.
On January 10th, Altoona humbled Tyrone by giving us a 33-10 defeat. The
floor was about twice as big as ours and Tyrone could not get their defense
working. A fair crowd of rooters accompanied the team.
January 11th, Tyrone won from Renova at home by a score of 33-24. It was a
very fast and exciting game and well played. Tyrone was too much for Renova,
however.
Tyrone journeyed to Jersey Shore on January 23 and in a rough, but exciting
game of basketball, Tyrone emerged the victor. Ammerman saved the score from
being a tie by a field goal in the last minute. Score 29-27.
Westmont came to Tyrone on January 24th and were defeated 47-29. The game
was poorly attended but well played, Tyrone showing lots of pep at all times.
Tyrone again lost to Altoona in a hard fought battle. Tyrone and Altoona
were evenly matched and the score was tied many times. Tyrone was leading 20-19
when with about thirty seconds to play. Beach dropped in a basket, putting
Altoona ahead, 21 -20. Tyrone was without the services of Ammerman, as he had
left school to go to a New York Military Academy. Epstein was also out, so it
was no disgrace to be beaten.
Tyrone went to Du Bois on February 13th and lost by a 35-17 score. The game
was hard fought but Du Bois clearly outplayed Tyrone.
On February 13th, Jersey Shore came to Tyrone and were defeated to the tune
of 21-14. It was a cleanly fought and hard played game. Epstein got back in the
game and helped the Orange and Black to win. The result was in doubt until the
final few minutes when Tyrone dropped in three field goals in rapid succession.
On Saturday, February 14th, Tyrone again met Du Bois but at home. The game
needed an extra period to decide it. The score was tied 25-25 at the end of the
game. Tyrone then run the score up 28-25 but Du Bois broke loose and won 30-28.
Wimber came to Tyrone on February 20th and lost by a 26-18 score. The game
was very clean. Wimber was leading at half time but Tyrone came back in the
second half and won.
February 28th, Tyrone went to Lewistown without the services of "Abie"
Smith. They lost 18-33. Lewistown promised Tyrone a return game as we did not
have them on our schedule.
We were again defeated at Wimber. The team played hard but were unable to
overcome them. The game was clean and well fought. Tyrone showed a better brand
of basket ball than Wimber but was not able to pierce the loop.
March 7th, we were picked along with seven other teams to be in the P. I.
A. A. eliminations. We drew Lock Haven to play at Bellefonte. Tyrone went by
auto to Bellefonte on Wednesday, March 11. The game looked easy for us as we had
five points before Lock Haven got started but after that we were nothing. They
had three men who just leaped up and dropped in the ball. We were defeated by a
39-18 score. However, we did our best and played cleanly. Lock Haven won the P.
I. A. A. eliminations, beating Altoona in the finals.
March 14th, we went to Renova where we were again defeated. They had
improved greatly since we won from them earlier in the season, and the floor was
not as good as our own. However, the team fought hard, going down to defeat
before a team which was better than they were.
The last game of the season was played on March 20th with Lewistown. "Abie"
Smith was back and celebrated by getting eight points. Berkstresser tied with
him while Epstein took honors with eleven points. Tyrone outplayed Lewistown and
won by superior skill.
This ended the season for Tyrone High School. Out of 17 games played 9 were
won and 8 lost. Tyrone was not in the Mountain League this year; but played
Lewistown, who won in it, and beat them once. This shows that if we had been in
it we would have been high in the standing, if not first. The team will lose
Wooden, center, and Berkstresser, forward, by graduation. We wish for a
successful season in 1926.

DRAMATICS [photo]
THE ADMIRABLE CRICHTON
On the evenings of January 30th and 3 I st the Senior play, "The Admirable
Crichton," was very successfully presented in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium. The
play was excellently given and the manner in which it was presented reflected
much credit on Miss Bayle's training of the characters. Miss Bayle is especially
deserving of praise because this play was such a departure from the Senior plays
which have heretofore been given.
The play opened with Lord Loam, a peer of advanced ideas, giving a tea to
his servants in the drawing room of his home. Lord Loam believes that all men
are equal and in order to carry out his theory he gives a tea to his servants
once a month. We are introduced during this act to Mary, Catherine and Agatha
Lassenby, Lord Loam's daughters; Ernest, his nephew; Lord Brocklehurst, who is
engaged to Mary Treherne; a clergyman; Crichton and Tweeny, butler and between
maid; and the other domestics.
The second act takes place on a desert isle where the yachting party of
Lord Loam, consisting of Ernest, Treherne, Mary, Catherine, Agatha, Crichton,
and Tweeny have been shipwrecked. They believe Lord Loam to be dead, but during
the act he comes upon their party. Nature selects Crichton as their leader, but
Lord Loam tries to assert himself. They finally give in and Crichton becomes
their natural head.
The third act, two years later, shows us the party in their island home.
They have many modern conveniences which the genius and skill of Crichton have
evolved. By this time Crichton is ruling like a king over his subjects. In a
very passionate scene he tells Mary that he loves her and asks her to be his
wife. She consents, and as soon as a bridal skirt can be prepared, they are to
be married. They are rejoicing over the announcement when they hear a ship's
gun, but it seems too late; the boat which the ship sent to the island,
apparently for water, is going back. Crichton, realizing all that it would mean
if they were saved, and torn between his desire and his belief in playing the
game, ignites the signal fires and the boat turns back to the island. Lord Loam
again assumes leadership and Crichton shows his return to servitude in his
obsequious bow to Lady Mary as the curtain falls on the most touching scene of
the play.
In the fourth act we see Lord Loam and his daughters in their home. They
are reading newspaper comments on the book Mr. Wooley has written about their
adventures. Ernest, we find from their reading, was the hero on the island. It
was HE who saved the ladies from the tigers, killed wild beasts and so on. The
ladies are surprised, but they let it go, for it would not do to let anyone in
England know that Crichton was their head or even on the same level with them,
while they were on the island. Mary, ashamed to make her confession of her
affair with Crichton on the island, asks her father to tell Brocklehurst. Her
father is also ashamed of it and does not tell Lord Brocklehurst. Lord
Brocklehurst comes to see Mary, and she, believing that he knows of her affair,
is not surprised when he starts to make explanations. It turns out, however,
that during the two years that Mary has been away Brocklehurst has had an affair
with Fisher, Mary's maid. Mary, hearing this does not tell him of her own lapse
and so Brocklehurst is none the wiser. Lady Brocklehurst is then announced and
she starts to question George, her son, about Lady Mary's actions when he had
told her of his affair. He tells his mother that Mary took it very well. At this
time Agatha, Catherine, and Treherne come in and Lady Brocklehurst also
questions them about the island. Ernest arrives and she continues her
questioning. Lady Brocklehurst has sent for Crichton and Tweeny. The family is
very much worried that Crichton or Tweeny may say something which will reveal
Crichton's leadership on the island. Crichton answers her questions in such a
way that Lady Brocklehurst learns nothing of their life on their island. The
play ends with Lady Mary telling Crichton that he was the best man among them
and begging him not to pity her weakness in leaving him for one of her own
class.
The costumes of the ladies were very beautiful and those used in the second
and third acts very appropriate. The scenery also was extraordinarily good,
especially the scene used in the second act. In that act one saw, in the
background, the ocean; before the ocean, the trees; and in the foreground, a
camp fire built of logs. It was hard to believe that this was not a true isle.
Taken altogether it could plainly be seen that it was arranged by one who had
much experience in putting on high school plays.
The play was very profitable to the class, for after paying all expenses, a
profit of about $300 was left. The money was transferred to the treasury of the
"Falcon" and it has gone into the presentation of this class annual. All the
future graduating classes will look up to the play "The Admirable Crichton" as a
standard for the production of their Senior plays.
It is impossible to give the acting honors to any one person. All of them
perfectly fitted their parts. It has been said that it was the best cast play
ever given here.

FLEURETTE
The John B. Roger's production given by the High School this year was even
a greater success than those presented heretofore. Mr. and Mrs. I. Merle Ward
were the efficient directors and as a result of their combined efforts, the
leads and chorus groups attained a professional ease.
The scenery and costumes this year were much more elaborate than in past
years. There were four different drops used and many variations of lighting. The
stage furnishings were rich and tasteful. They were obtained through the
kindness of Mr. Templeton and other Tyrone merchants.
The scene of the first act was the home of Sir Newton Wickham, Long Island.
In this act, the character of Sir Newton, a nervous English gentleman, was well
portrayed by Gilbert Smith. His haughty American wife, enacted by Sara Swartz,
and a clever maid role carried by Frances Gordon, were highly pleasing to the
audience. The title role "Fleurette" was splendidly taken by Margaret Benson,
and her fiance, Arthur Ferner, a young lawyer, drew the sympathy of the
audience, because Sir Newton's brother-in-law (Dick Hamer) concocted a plan by
which he hoped to cure the spoiled wife of Sir Newton of her indifference.
The plot was: Fleurette should pretend to the Englishman that she was much
in love with him. Being thus flattered, of course he lost his head and began to
pay marked attentions to her. The bribe by which "Fleurette" was lured from her
loyalty to the young lawyer was the stock broker's promise of a position on the
stage to fulfill her greatest ambition. Humerous situations develop soon and
Dick is in despair as his plan has worked too well. However, all ends well in
the third act when Lady Anastasia discovers that her brother had laid the plans
to cure her of her ungracious manner. So she gives her latest flame, David
Dillingham (Eugene Johnson) to his little actress "Billy" (Peg Miller in real
life), and declares her love for Sir Newton again. Fleurette had, in the
meantime, been found by an eccentric but rich uncle Pierre Du Prey, most
dramatically reproduced by John Elliot Davis. As riches are now Fleurette's, the
poor young attorney also gains happiness and his cottage for two.
The play is enriched throughout the three acts by many charming musical
numbers. In Act I we see first a striking group of girls in lovely afternoon
dresses and hats who try to prove by song and dance that "It's the Hat, Not the
Girl." Next we have a group of Fleurette's admirers who sing and dance with her.
The closing scene in which Dick and Fleurette sing of their cottage of dreams is
prettily encored by the two with a group of dainty little "Carpenterettes" who
sing and furnish the cottage lights with electric torches.
Act II is introduced by the "Frolic Ensemble" which tells us of the ensuing
numbers which are extracts from the "Frolics" in which Fleurete is starring,
First we see the peppy octette, led by "Billy." They bid us "Dance Away the
Blues" and they suit the words of "Billy" and the Ensembles' song to the action
and fling their heels at care. The great Fleurette sang a Chinese song next
while a picturesque group of Chinamen danced.
"The Snow-flake Ballet" closing the act. This was perhaps the most
elaborate scene of the play. As Jack Frost (Ward Myers) sings of the snow and
ice and sports of winter they appear and dance. At the conclusion of the number
there has been formed a gorgeous pageant in silver and blue and white.
Perhaps the most touching bit of the story is found near the beginning of
the third act when "Dick" accuses "Fleurette" of a breach of faith and refuses
to listen to her explanation. She then sings "Poor Painted Rose" in so pathetic
a manner that the lawyer sees the injustice he has done, and they are reconciled
before her party begins. The party proves to be a very lively affair on the Roof
Garden of the Ambassador Hotel and this event furnishes two most delightful
specialties, the one, an "Eccentric Dance" by Marlin Stewart and Harry Miller,
and the other, one of Sara Taylor's professional and far-famed toe dances. The
play is brought to the usual conclusion with a very spirited "Grand Finale."
Much credit is due these others, aside from the cast and the able
directors: Frances Walton, the accompanist throughout rehearsals and
presentations; the High School Orchestra with its additions; Miss Bayle and Miss
Zimmers for their splendid choice of talent; Edward Kelly, general chairman of
committees: William Gunter, ticket manager; Janet Smith for her work as
publicity and property manager; and the program committee, Margaret Woodring and
Charles Ginter.
