Kiski On the Stage
On Monday night, ApTil 5, the -peo
·ple of Salts·burg were permitted to
view a perfq,rmance of a degree of
excellence seldom seen outside the
largest vaudeville theatres in the
country. The occasion of t;his marvelous
presentation was the annual
meeting of the Saltsburg Lilbrary Asso
·ciation.
As usual w:hen anything is going
on, Kis•ki was there, the center of attraction,
the focal po·int of all eye.s.
After a few prelimina•ries the ,boys
from school were bidden to do their
stuff and the show was on! Mr.
Marks was the leading figu,re in a
very original skit entitled "The Return
of the Glassies." 'Dhe s·cene was
the interior of the Saltsburg Library
wits Mr .. Marks as substitute librarian.
The first of the classli.3s to enter
was Julius Cea·sar, iiortrayed by
''ene Beardsley. who afte,r a few preliminary
remarks favored the audience
with a song and dance, aibly acco'mpanied
on the "hal'psichord'' by
the Giant P.olla·ck O lias Joe Cochran.
Next was presented Joe· Clark as

a few harmonious selections that
were warmly re·ceived by the audience.
Next the world famous tumblers,
Dumpty and ·Humpty (Vaugn
and Sever;,) entertained the spectators
with their remarkable feats. Now
ap.peared the notorious tragedian
Barrymore XIII who delivered, with
fervent· eloquence, the fi,rst eight lines
of the " Shootin<; of Dan McGrew."

Numerous ru,morts have ,been floating
around school concerning the
three brothers who recently returned
from the east; where they were on a
tour during the Easter vacation. · One
of the most prominent of these was
that they s;pent a night in the "jug".

·were we not so sure of our position
as the leading Kiski periodical
we would certainly take this o.pportunity
to t.dl tJhe world of our rapid
rise in the newspaper field. 'It would
be indeed hard for any newslpaper in
the counti·y to match our sensational
increase in circulation! In one issue
we expanded two hundred percent in
the num'b􀇲r of copies we distributed!
The issue ,vas of cour.se, our last, the
Alumni 1:s:;ue. Sponsored and published
by the principals, the issue
was sent out to the grads of Kiski as
an invitation to Commencement on
June 5 and as a word of greetinll
from the old school. A reminder to
them od' tJhe days and years 'they spent
at Kiski and a request to them to keep
in touch with their prep school Alma
.Mater. The alumni :sipirit is .fine
even before thi's Alumni Issue many
old grads had entered their names on
our sulbscription list to better enable
them to keep in touch with the present
activities at Kisk'i and to hear
some word of their classmates
through the alumni notes.
The issve was des-igned primarily
as a review of the events of the year
and probably set many a former Kiski
boy thinkiHg of the scrapes and incidents
that were so la·rge a pa·rt of
his life at Kfski.
We invite the Alumni to write to
us and perhaps enter their subscription
and keep in touch with us who
are here at Kiski now.

Y.M.C.A.
The weekly prayer service ,vas resumed
this week and the meetlings to
·come throughout the Spring term
promises to be interesting and instructive.
A new system was introduced at
the last meeting which wiH by perfect
attendance to prayer meetings
entitle a man to one vote and incidentally
make him a member of the
booster club. The vote which you
earn by attendance wiH ,be used in
electing the memlber.s to next year's
executive committee. Thi,s is your
chance to Le·co,me a booster and he!,p
to elect a competent executive committee
for next year.
The theme of Wednesday's service
was: "Men Who Have Made Good."
Henry Lewis and Bill :Pomeroy read
a short history of the life of David
Lloyd George as an example of a
man who has made g, ood and his life
proves that it is essential to live the
right k'ind of a life in order to make
good.
Whether the fellows feel the need
of a prayer service or not, .I'm sure
that these meetings are of some value
to you if for nothing more than to
learn to know the characters discussed
more intimately. The meetings
are impre•ssiv,e and I,cr:n sure that
many hearts were stirred when the
leader asl􀇳ed for sentence prayers
and suggested that the prayeDs be
asked for our mothers. Though there
were not many prayers uttered aloud
I'll venture that there was not a man
present wh'J silently, did not ask his
Maker to care for and protect, God's
greatest gift to mankind-'0.ur Mothers.

with us and give your soul a -sun-'bath.

Ben Hur, A Tale of the Christ
The Chariot ;Race
Reading .Ben Hur is just like being
trans,ported baJck to the time of ancient
Rome, so vividly i.s the story
portrayed. It is puzzlirrg to the average
reader, such as I, as to how a!ld
w,here the author found the material
to ma·ke his novel so realistic. It is
almost like history; we see the proud
and conceited Ri=an the amazing
faith of the Jews, the ·customs O'f the
time,s; everything is brought out and
described in the manner as though
the author had actually been there.
In order to fully understand the
famous chariot race it wi11'1 ibe necessary
to tell an earlier part of the
story. We must know the reason for
Ben Hur's entering tfue race, why he
was so determ'ined to win, and what
measures hi> used to accomplish his
purpose. The tria-Ls and troubles 􀂰e
endured tel:'.ch an excellent lesson m
perseverence.
'Ben Hur was a Jew, and he Uve·d in
a Roman province. At that time
Rome rule:1 a1'1 of the known world.
When there were no new worlds to
conquer, and nothing to fight about,
Rome became indolent, conceited and
over .confident. 'This ,attitude ltastened
her d()(Wnfall. The country was
very wealthy due to the vast revenues
coming in from different defeated nations.
,As is always the case in such
circum.suances, dr'iniking and many
other vices quickly srprang up, and
Rome .became one of tfue most wicked
cities recorded 􀋎n history.
During his y,outh Ben Hur's dearest
friend wa-s a young Roman by the
name of Me·ssala. They . were inseparalble
in childhood but when they
became a Jitt1e older Messala went
away and entered one of Rome'.s best
school,s. When he returned, Ben Hur
paid him a vi.sit. Messala had oo-anged
very much; he was now educated according
to the RO'Illan standards. He
dis·played the 'bigoted attitude which
characterized the avera,ge Roman.
He praised Rome and aH of it's functions,
and hurled un'beara·ble taunts
at the Jew. Ben Hur heard all this
in silence, but a l'ifeiong enmity devel()l!)
ed from this conversation.
Some years after thi:s in the province
of Judea, where Ben Hur',s home
waJs located, a new Roman was coming
to take ch'ar.ge there. Ben Hur
accompanied by his sister was watching
the new governor's entrance with
his magnifrcent escort. Ben •Hur rested
his hand on a loose tile in loO'king
over the para·pet. 'The tile ibecame
di.sloged, and with incredi,ble force,
fell and struck the ·governor on the
hea'd. He fell from his horse as
though · dead. Naturally Ben Hur was
unable to prove his innocence, and .
wa.s sentence-d to the galleys for life.
His mothi,r and sister were taken
from their home and were Iost to Ben
Hur for many long years. It was only
'fiy a miracle that he ever found
them.
Fortune favored the young Je'w and
after serving :but frve years of his
KISKI NEWS
sentence he was restored. to freedom
and citizenship. He wais also vastly
wealthy. Of course, he immediately
be'(J·an a seal"c'h for his mother and
sister, but the effort was futile. 􀋏e
rightfully blamed Messa!a for this
misfortune. 'From that time on Ben
Hur had but two things to live for; to
try to discover the wJierea:bouts of _his
mother and sister, and to get fittmg
revenge on the Roman who had caused
it all. The chariot race .garve h1im the
revenge he .sought.
Iras, t'he Eg:yiptian woman, daughter
of Balthasa.s who Jiad 'been one of
the three wise men to proclaim the
coming of the Christ, was. another
reason for Ben Hur's determination
to win the race and hum·ble Mess,ala.
Iras looked on Messala with high
favor. Ben Hur was fascinated ;by
her charms and thought he could
hel'p his own cause by defeating the
Rowan.
The chariot race was a characteri.stic
s,port of Rome-dangerous and exciting.
In th1is, as in everything else,
the Roman thought himself invinci<
ble. IJ:t w'"as this spirit· which enalbled
Ben Hur to gain his revenge. H'e
had a Jewish confederate, ·Sanballet
by name, to go and make wagers witfu
the Romans on the outcome of the
race. The crafty .San'baHet W8Js very
successful--'Se.ssala staked everything
he owned that he would win.
'Ben Hur o'l:>tained the very fastest
horses, and ,his chariot was es·pecially
bulilt for the occasion; much lower
than the Roman chariot. The horses
were the s·pecial hobby of an Araib
sheik; one of the memheris of a race
whose p·as.sion is raising fine horses.
There were six contestants in uhe
race; each man driving four horses.
Messa-la, evidently by prearrangement
with the s,tarter, knew exactly
when the barrier would be lifited, but
Ben Hur also divined aH this. At
the very start Messa1a and IB-en Hur
plunged ahead, and during the entire
race the other contenders had no
chance. Purposely the Jew alldwed
Messala to keep ahead during the
greater part of the race; and Me,ssala
unknowingly tired his horses to complete
exhaustion. On the final lap
Ben Hur Jm.t his pl-an into execution.
Messala had tried in every way h2
knew to fowl his opponent-he had
even struck Ben Hur's horses with his
whiip. 'The horses had 'been gently
reared, they had ne-ver known the
sting of uhe lash, and if it had not
been for the marveloUiS streng'th of
Ben Hu,r, they would most certainly
ha'Ve destroyed ,him in their alarm
and fear Throughout the contest
Ben· Hur rema:ined the calm and coll
􀋐cted master.
The_ last la·p had been reached, and
it. was now time for Ben Hur to assert
himself. As !Messala slowed up to
make the last turn Ben Hur· increased
hi:s speed. 'Coming along<side of the
Roman's charfot. Ben ·Hur's iron shod
axle caught the Wlheel of the other
cha,riot. Messa-la was tramped underfoot
with his demolished chariot. One
of the ouher racers was so close behind
that he could neither stop nor

turn out. The wreck cost Mes,sala
the ra'ce, and made him a horrible
cripple for life. Ben Hur won the
race together with the revenge he
sought.

Thoughts On College
Kis·ki once had a first baseman who
fumbled a ground baH and without
waiting to pick it up, ran to the base
witJhout it. He got there before the
runner but didn't have the 'ball. He
had an error instead.
There are some students who would
like to fumble a hard subject and run
to college without it.
The 'Dean. of the College will score
an assist and the student will get the
put-out.
The Colleges are a,ll sending notices
to the schools that rtJhey want the
best men from each graduating class.
Where are the other members of the
class going ? Lafayette is now accepting
the highest one-fourth of the
class on certificate. The rest must
take some examinati,ons. The list of
Colleges ha'Ving similar rules is getting
longer. Where wi,IJ we ·be pretty
soon. with a list of credits representing
grades just a'bout passing?
The new rule at Yale for 1927 will
select the whole entering class on the
'basis of the June exams, no re-exams
in September being gi,ven.
IPrinceto:1, Dartsmouth and many
others are requiring letters of re'commendati!
on from three •persons regarding
the character, industry and intellectual
promise before accepting a
student who has already satisfied the
entrance requirements in ·his •curriculum
studies. What kind of a letter
does the fellow get who is always
boasting that he and nearly aH his
friends and frat 'brothers would get
drunk every time a chance came
along?
Lefty Hill of Kiski and Pitt has
been accorded a'bout a dozen offices
of honor during his course and was
voted the best example of the kind
of man the University likes to produce.
He didn't win any of these
honors 'by half trying or being a cheap

Faculty Ballad
To Dr. Wilson! :He's the boss!
Of action he gets plenty.
You,d never think him sixty-'five
But just a kid of twenty.
The next in line is Pop MaoGoll
Who always is a joker,
Toast master of each jov.ial feast,
The life of every .smoker.
Now here's a golfer wise and true,
Who plays through foul and fair,
H'is goal ,out there is 35
Says he-F. D. St. Clair.
Tull J. L. is our footJb'all coach
His teams are on the top.
And he is quite a joker, too.
A runner up for PotP,
Captain Dau'b'·s our E'nglish Prof.
His sentences are right.
He .sentenced -one iboy ten and ten
Tur !being out at night.
Uncle Osc'lr and Aunt Grace
Live out in Wilson dorm,
Thev put their !boys to .sleep at night
And wake them in the morn.
IPaul Cully's out in Wilson, too,
A Kiski-Princeton grad.
He tries to keep his boys out there
From being rough and ·bad.
Mr. Wa.ssom rules the Annex bunch
And Mr .. Wassom's queen.
Their subjects are a brawny lot
But empty in the •bean.
Jock Sutherland's in charge of Fair
He never wore a Kilty,
His chiefest worry seems to be
The whereafbouts of Hilty.
Charlie Marsh, the Bowery's boss
Exhales great clouds of smoke.
The jewelry in his big ibook room
K􀄕p.s all the fella',s broke.
·Mr. Bevington holds a room
That's right below the !Bowery
In June he'll have a 'blushing ,bride
-'A wedding and a dowry.
Mr. Arnold-Kiiski gra:d
Is a teacher, safe and sane.
There is another Arnold now,
Three cheers for Mar'th'a Jane.
Mac MdCl'acken has the Gym
A quiet place in winter.
The stronghold of the swimming team
The tosser and the sprinter.
Mr. White chose Baradise
As a choice pla.􀄖e ito· park
For he'd heard that life in Paradise
Was just one live-long lark.
Now Davies on the other end
Is there, and not complaining
For when ht> ends this earthly life
He will have had good training.
",Bill" Greenaway is the fa.ther st1<ong,
And "Billie" is the baby
That kid will speak in Polyglot
And norw I don't mean maylbe.
An erudite and skillful man
Is our Professor Brown
He spends his days on Ki,ski's hill
But slumbers in the town.
Last, but not least, is Buddy Moore
We love him like a brother
"W·oll ·over on your write side! Now
Woll over on the other." '
Let "Bob'' & Doggie keep
that "Nonchalant" effect
in your clothes
We call every Wednesday
and Saturday evening
