Vol. 111 FEBRUARY 1928 No. 7
The Gym Stripped for Action by the Dance Committee February II th
The Mid - Year Prom
The Annual Mid-Year Prom, held
on Saturday night, February 11,
has been voted the best dance within
the memory of the present Kiski
generation. About fifty couples attended,
the music was excellent, the
decorations unusually lovely, and
everybody in a mood to have a good.
time.
Saturday dawned with the "Annual
Mid-Year" snow falling, and
hopes ran high that by night we
would be so completely snowed in
that no trains could run on Sunday.
(Condition contrary to fact). By
twos and threes the fair sex arrived
and were escorted to their alloted
quarters, proceeding thence to th!)
Swimming Meet. At 4 :30 tea was
served at Mrs. Marks, when every
one had an opportunity to meet the
patronesses, and to become acquainted
with everybody elses partner. It
was a most delightful occasion and
the Dance Committee wishes to thank
Mrs. Marks and her aides for their
share in making the afternoon a
success. A formal dinner was served
at 6:30, and what a dinner it was!
Chicken and the best of everything
that goes with it. The tables were
lovely with yellow candles and spring
flowers. At the close of the meal,
ouvenirs of the Prom were presented
to the guests, with their programs-
necklaces of Japanese Mother-
of Pearls. These seemed to meet
with great favor, and nearly every
girl wore hers to the dance.
By 8 :15 every one was in the
gymnasium, and after one general
number, the ball was opened by
Sandy MacColl and Miss Hallowell,
who led the Grand March. A program
of twelve numbers and one extra
filled the time until midnight which
arrived all too quickly. Between ten
and eleven refreshments were served
and a new element of fun introduced
with clever paper caps and much
confetti. Music was furnished by
"The Purple Derbies" 0£ Pittsburgh.
A Chinese color scheme was carried
out in the decorations, red and
yellow streamers being used to work
out an elaborate canopy which covered
the entire room. The lights
were cleverly arranged so that one
danced from shadow into light sevei
·al times on the way around, the
effect being that of spot lights in
different colors.
The Dance Committee deserves
much praise for their work. We understand
that a great rleal of vaudeville
talent was uncovered during
the decorating, since balancing, trapese
work and contortion were all
necessary. These were accompanied
by music and much wit. Dick Gibson
was chairman of the decorating
committee. The ensemble respon3ible
: er the good time was as follows:
Sandy MacColl, chairman; Dick
Gibson, Howard Blaine, Richard
Camp, Clifford Aultman, Harry
Hough, Frank Finsthwaite.
The ladies of the faculty acted as
patronesses.
Guests from out of town included:
Miss Margaret Van Nort with Ben
Beal.

What America Needs
We do not need more material development,
we need more spiritual
development. We do not need more
intellectual power, we need more
moral power. We do not need more
knowledge, we need more character.
We do not need more government,
we need more culture. We do not
need more law; we need more religion.
We do not need more of the
things that are seen, we need more
of the things that are unseen.

Mr. Hund Speaks To "Y"
On the night of February second
we had the privilege and pleasure of
listening to Mr. Hund. He addressed
the prayer meeting of the "Y", on
"Choosing a vocation ·and suiting
oneself for that calling." It is time
that we should be thinking over the
future with reference to a choice of
occupation. We have so many opportunities
that we do not realize and
grasp, that we are sleeping and leting
slip by many chances of success.
After Mr. Hund's good talk we wer3
entertained by two violin solos by
Kenneth Werts. The meeting was
led by Evan Moon.

The Prodigal Father
by
Gill Robb Wilson
Raising a son is a great big job,
Much bigger than most men know.
So there's bitter tears and many
fears
In reaping the seeds they sow.
Now John J. Jones had a son he loved
As much as John J. could,
Whom he supplied with the things of
life
Like money, clothes and food.
And John J. Jones, who had never
learned
To think in terms of a son,
Sent him away to a high priced
school
And felt that the job· was done.
His mind was filled through all the
years,
With finances, bonds and stocks.
A fortune Junior Jones might spend,
When he stood in his father's sox.
But sonny was out in a different
world,
Treading a different path
And his only thought of old man
Jones,
Was scheming to dodge his wrath.
Till at last in some foolish escapade
Poor Junior came to grief,
And only got out when the name of
Jones
Had taken an awful reef.
So the old man yanked him out of
school,
And took him apart by bitsFlaying
poor son to his hearts content,
And throwing a thousand fits.
Oh sonny knew he had spilled the
beans,
But deep in his boyish soul.
He felt that the sentence was passed
on him,
By the one who had caused his
fall.
For the vnly time that the old 11".an
came
To spend an hour with him
Were the times in which he laid h'm
low
F'0r his mu!t.itude of sins.
Now old man Jones, with his eyes bedimmed
Will talk of his P1·0digal son,
But a ,prodigal father is old man
Jones
For the kind of a job he's done.
And though he has builded a vast
estate,
His wealth is a poor alloy
Since old man Jones left someone
else
To train him a Prodigal Boy.
Raising a son is a great big job,
Much bigger than most men know.
So there's bitter tears and many
fears
In reaping the seeds they sow.
KISKI NEWS
Kiski Knocks Off Ancient Rival
It was too bad when the Pitt
Freshmen made their appearance before
the famous Kiski five on the
school floor. Kiski, after having lost
two varsity men during the mid-semester,
had no chance against the
highly touted University team in the
eyes of many sport followers. The
score 52-34 was almost simila!· to
that of last year when the Frosh of
Pitt had the greatest freshman team
in the country, and defeated Kiski.
After the first period, Kiski wa:;
entirely out of danger, leading the
old rivals the rest of the tilt, and
continually running in substiti1tes
during the last half. The score at
the half was 22-14, in favor of the
. prep school lads, but that is no comparison
of the two teams, for Kiski
simply covered each and every move
of the first year men.
It seems as though Pitt had serious
intentions of defeating the
supposed "patched-up" Kiski outfit,
but they certainly did find themselves
stranded, hounded, and guarded
in a way they haven't experienced
this season. But credit must be given
to Cohen, the only shining light 0n
the Pitt team, who was responsible
for most of the points chalkea up
against the school boy dribblers.
It has been said that the speediest
exhibition of basketball c>ver played
on the Saltsburg floor was credited
to this year's varsity. Brown was invulnerable
in every move he made,
making four field goals in rapid succession
and playing with lightning
speed. The Panthers didn't know
whether they were coming or going
during these sixty seconds.
Tom Fisher, "Jock" Sutherland's
new find, came through in fine style,
making four two pointers and playing
head-up basketball all through
the fray. Cliff Aultman played one
of the finest games of his career,
making eleven of the teams points.
It was difficult for the Frosh to
pierce the stonewall defense, Bartell
and Aultman. McCurdy's shift
from substitute center to varsity
forward seemed to be a move all for
the best.

nesday night, January 11. The game
was very close the first quarter, bui
the Juniors opened up in the second
quarter and their lead was never
threatened throughout the rest of
the game. Miller, the newly elected
captain of the Juniors, again led his
team in scoring, caging six goals
from the floor. Douglass was the
high scorer for Elders Ridge with a
total of eight points. During the last
quarter the score was large enough
to allow Coach Bartell to put in his
entire second team. The Juniors
have won five straight games this
year and are again headed for an
undefeated season. The score:

Alumni Notes
Glenn Warner ,publishes an eleven
made up of the best men he ever
coached and our own Tom Davies
holds down one of the halfback assignments.
Hall Blair of Kiski and Yale has
taken high honors in the recent examinations,
and is recognized by
the Yale authorities as one of the
out-standing men in the Junior Class.
Frank "Pie" Williams of Kiski and
Pitt paid us a short visit Wednesday,
February 15 and accompanied the
basket ball team to Pittsburgh.
Billy Bell our old varsity forward
who threw 16 field goals in one
game·, visited the school Sunday,
February 12th, after an absence of
15 years. He didn't think we would
recognize him but we did.
Mr. Marks is becoming so mnch
the vogue as an after dinner orator
that he has had to stop eating between
meals to keep in condition for
fast travelling.
Ernie Bartell who is graduate secretary
in charge of the Princeton
Y. M. C. A., has succeeded in recovering
much lost ground for that
organization. He is arranging a conference
of school associations at
Princeton and sent Kiski a cordial
invitation to send delegates.

Campus Notes
On two different evenings Mr. and
Mrs. St. Clair entertained groups of
the boys at their home in a most delightful
manner. Competitive singing
was a feature of the fun, and
much unsuspected talent was unearthed.
Kiski's Chauncey Depew, Mr. J.
1.. 11'T.arks, always in demand, was a
ô€…¼peaker at a banquet given by the
[ndiana Chapter of th•) D. .1. . R. on
February seventh, and also addressed
the Lion's Club of Pittsburgh on
the 15th.
It was gratifying to ali the Kiski
people present at the Boy Scout banquet
in the Saltsburg Pre::;byterian
Church, on Lincoln's Birthday, to
hear so much said in appreciution of
the fine work done by Major Daub
for the Saltsburg Scouts. His troop
is· one of the finest in the countv and
not only the present members, but
those who have taken part in its
activities in the past, bear testimony
to the ideals and inspiration of his
leadership. Major Daub and Dr.
MacColl were both speakers at the
dinner.
The basket ball game between the
Juniors and Shadyside, scheduled for
the 14th at Shadyside, will be played
on the 21st instead.
Wedding announcements recently
received were those of Louis Miller,
Fayette City, and Miss Gater, of
Pittsburgh, and of Burress Moore,
Cumberland, and Miss Barbara Hazzard
of Gardiner, Maine. "Lou"
Miller is in business in Fayette City,
and Burgess Moore, after having
graduated from Dennison University,
sas settled in Cumberland.
The Kiski News extends congratulations
to them both.
The News wishes to commend the
boys for their fine behavior during
the Prom. It was voted a perfect
affair, and certainly the co-operation
of the students who had guests
in· observing all the regulations and
in doing everything in their power
to give the girls a good time without
over-sô€…½epping the bounds, was what
made 1t perfect. School and college
dances have not had a very good
name in recent years, but Kiski has
upheld a very high standard, and is
proud to have had at least one mother
say "I would not let my daughter
go anywhere else to a school ,prom,
but I know. that at Kiski everything
will be right."
Messerly developed appendicitis on
the Wednesday following exams, and
was taken to his home in Morgans
F.erry in an ambulance. Miss Kunkle
accompanied him on the··trip, which
he stood well, and left him in the
good c.are of his father, Dr. Messerly.
· On .Friday, March 2nd, the school
will have the .pleasure of hearing the
American Legion Quartette of Apollo
in a concert. Those Who heard
them wo years ago ·. will remember
how much enhusiasm their program
KISKI NEWS
called forth. As a drawing card they
are high among Kiski favorites. Two
members of the quartette, Messrs.
Aber and Arthur Shaw, are alumni
of the school.
The quantity of mail handled in
the school post office on February
14th would indicate that absence
makes the heart grow fonder quite
as much in this generation as in any
other.
The U. S. Treasury will use the
radio as an agency for selling bonds,
and the sum of $10,000 has been voted
into the Treasury supply bill.
Juniors Lose To Tarentum Club
The Juniors met defeat for the
second time this year when the Tarentum
Varsity Club took them over
in a fast and close game. The final
score was 29-26 in favor of the
High School boys.
Throughout the first half the Kiski
team was greatly superior to the
Valley lads, at one time running the
score to 8-2. At the half time the
score was 14-11 in favor of Kiski.
The Kiski team did not show to
their best ability in the last half and
soon lost the "safe" lead they had
held tlrroughout the whole game. A
last quarter rally was stopped by
Mercurio, the Varsity Club right
forward who accounted for 6 buckets.
Miller was the outstanding star
for Kiski while Ramsay and Eddie
Marks also p'.ayed their usual good
game.

The Kiski swimming team opened
their season by defeating the Downtown
Y. M. C. A. of Pittsburgh 30-29,
on Friday, January 20, in the K:ski
pool. The meet was very close and
it was not until the finish of the last
race that the ultimate winner was
declared. The Downtown Y. presented
a good team and was more
than enough opposition for our team.
The relay team repeated its good
work of last year and won the relay
in good style. Kiski won five out of
seven first ulaces, excelLng especially
in the diving which was won by
"Ken" Abbott and in the 45 yard
back stroke. The team looked very
good in their first meet and deserve
a great deal of praise from the student
body. Coach Michael Meyers
has been working hard with h:s team
and it gives promise of be:ng heard
from in the:r future meets. Swimmin
􀆀 is coming into its own as a real

In the shoot with Brooklyn Tech,

A triangular contest is being arranged

Here and There
Golf has bcome compulsory at
nnapolis, which looks as though
he government hopes that wars may
􀆋􀆌re, and the Naval Cadets, like
:;o!onel Lindbergh, may become emissaries
of good will and peace. Incidentally,
it takes the rnme sort of
eye to shoot ,a ball onto the green as
it does to h:t the bulls eye.
Williams College is stiffen:ng up
on Sophmore requirements. The
good o'.d days when a fellow could
loaf his way through college are
certa;nly gone by. If we don't look
out we'll be an intelligent nation after
all.
Not cheaper, but better medical
men is Dr. Hugh Cabots' answer to
the suggestion that medical courses
be shortened. "Even if the old family
physician were to return. The
very peop􀆍e who are demanding him
would al!ow him to starve," he says,
so great is the cry for specialists. Dr.

A summer session at Oxford Univers:
ty exclusively for Amer:can
Etudents is being considered. A survey
of colleges is to be made to determine
whether the response will
justify the expense o.f organizing
such a school.
When the swimming team spent
the n:ght in Uniontown several of
the boys were entertained at the
homes of Kiski alumni, and friends.
Mr. Allan Williams, whose son is
here now, was a classmate of Dr.
MacColl's· a.t- Princeton. Several boys
sta,·ed there and Alson Eggers, an
ex-Kiski graduate put a few more up
for the night. Pat Adams was one of
the judges at the meet. Pat is known
as a portly deputy while at home,
but we don't hold that against h"m.

head at a feast.
You 're fellow men find you a nuisance,

Why be a knocker?

Swing Along and Sing Along
When you think you're at the bottom
And it's black-as black as mud,
And your heart is pumpin' water
To your brain, instead of blood,
8tart a climb:n', sing a song.
Bluff yourself and swing along,
For the microbe dies in sun light
. And your t,roub!es flee with song . But they hatch and grow like w.i ldfire
When you let your thoughts turn
wrong.
Just place your mind on better things
And with them take a stroll,
And be "The Captain of your fate,
The master of your soul."
