It was a hot, sultry day i-n the last
of July. For two weeks the inhabitants
of the tenements had sweltered
through the days and tossed restlessly
through the nights.
On the top floor of one of the poorest
of tenement buildings, were two
rooms,-rooms that were nea,t and
clean in spite of their sordid neighbors,
and in these rooms there was
a clamor of excited voices. 'Jimmy,
resplendent in his patched and worn
uniform, was going to camp, and his
mother and sister were saying goodbye
to him. '
Jimmy turned to his sister and as
he dropped a coin into her hand, he
· said carelessly, "Better go to the
Olympic, Sis, Heroes of the Frozen
North is a lot better show than
The Good Turn
r Hearts Entwined."
Never a word· said Jimmy about
the weary two miles he would have
to walk with his heavy valise, under
the scorching sun.
But Jimmy, you'll need this while
you're in camp. I can't take it.
Here, put it with the rest of your
money.
Jimmy turned his sturdy back on
her and walked over to his valise.
"Naw it ain't heavy, mother," he told
her in response to her query. He
went out and down many floors to
the street and as he climbed up to
the elevated station he saw the flutter
of handkerchiefs in the window.
In a big well furnished office in
lower Wall Street a white haired
young man leaned over a desk telephone.
He turned the dial and
looked again at the papers on the
desk. "Hello," he said abruptly.
"You Bancroft? I can't let you borrow
the money you ask for."
The old-young man left his office
and going to the street, stepped into
a long, gray roadster. He roared
into the passing traffic.
Bancroft sat in his office staring
at a little automatic in the drawer
which was open before him. His
hand reached for the telephone, he.
subconsciously twirled the dial.
"Marie? s'Joe, your boat leaves
at four thirty doesn't it? I'll be up
to say good-bye to you and the children.
Sorry I can't go across with

Y. M. C. A. Meeting.
On Thursday evening, January 10,
the first "Y" meeting of the year
was held in chapel. Mr. McNary,
the pastor of the United Presbyterian
Church in Saltsburg, was the
speaker. Mr. McNary has been a
friend of all Kiski students for several
years. He is a real man, a
traveler, a speaker and a Bible student.
His subject was Egypt, and he
was able ,o give us some first hand
information on the life an 'l customs
of a land which many o.f UH know
very little about, because hu had.
lived there for several years. He told
us several very interesting things,
some of which were about the dress
and habits of the people, Lhe habits
of the Nile river, which the natives
worshiped many years ago, because
they could not understand why it
flooded the land all around it every
year. He also told us of how the
large cities over there d.ii'f'ered in
some respects from our cities, anJ
how they were alike in other respects.
Then he told us of the monuments
in Egypt which were built
thousands of years ago. Mr. McNary
finished by telling us of some of the
present clay conditions which exist
there.
There is no doubt that all who
were present, got a very clear picture
of what Egypt was like and also of
what it is like now. I feel sure that
we all have a greater desire to visit
the land where civilization started.
Death of Mrs. Gill Robb Wilson
Kiski was saddened during the
holidays to learn of the death on December
23 of Mrs. Gill Wilson, at her
home in Trenton, after an illness of
only a week, of pneumonia. Mrs.
Wilson was here in June, with Mr.
Wilson, when he delivered the Baccalaureate
address to the class of
1928, and charmed everyone who
had the privilege of meeting her.
The school extends its sincerest sympathy
to Mr. Wilson, one of our distinguished
alumni, who has been
ever loyal to his school.
KISKI NEWS
Norman Hall
During the Christmas holidays a
message came which told of the
death of Norman Hall, Kiski '24. The
ice on a skating pond in New Jersey
had given way and Norman had saved
all the others but lost his own
life.
The sorrow this message caused at
Kiski was deep, as Norman was a
universal favorite, owing to his high
character and capacity to draw others
to him in' friendship.
While here he was president of the
Executive Committee of the Y. M. C.
A. and a member of the football and
track teams.
He had the same standing as a
man and a friend among his classmates
at Yale and his future seemed
full of promise.
Kiski is saddened in losing one of
her alumni who was an honor to her
name.
( Continued from Page One.)
you, dear, business-Is everything
all set?"
"Got your stateroom tickets? All
right, I'll be up soon."
Bancroft hung up the receiver and
sat staring at the invitation the cold
little automatic held forth.
The highway stretching far away
before him, shimmered and danced
in Jimmy's eyes. His face was red
and his arms were tired from carrying
the grip which had grown heavier
at each step.
Big cars whizzed by but none of
them cared to stop and give him a
lift.
Jimmy stared through the heat
waves after them and tried to console
himself with the thought that
his sister was enjoying the show. It
was his only good turn so far that
day.
He plodded on, stopping now and
then to change hands on his valise
or to wipe the sweat from his face.
Thoughts of the ca.mp, of cool water
and great green fields and the tents,
filled his mind.
A long, gray roadster shot past
him, to come to a screeching stop
many yards beyond. A young man
looked back and beckoned, and Jimmy
ran in spite of the valise and the
heat. He climbed in and settled back
thankfully in the seat, as the car
started again.
For some minutes Jimmy sat thus
enjoying the cool sweep of the wind
as it hummed around the windshield.
Then he turned and looked at the
driver of the car. Young, as he was,
(and it was strange thought Jimmy)
he had white hair. The man did not
turn for some moments and Jimmy
scrutinized him.
"Where to, young fellow?" spoke
the old-young man, and when Jimmy
had told him, "why walk?"
And so it came about that Jimmy
told him why he walked and because
the old-young man did not understand
the "good turn" end of it,
Jimmy told him almost breathlessly
all he knew of the purpose and design
of "good turns."
A strange look had come over the
old-young man's face as Jimmy glibly
talked and when he had ceased explaining
an understanding light was
in the old-young man's eyes.
They had reached the lake and the
car stopped along the edge of the
road. The white tents shown sparkling
through the trees and the shining
crystal surface of the lake called
Jimmy. The young man drove away
in a rush.
Bancroft was bent over his desk.
, Again he had gone through resources
and again had tried to secure
loans.
Nothing-all gone-nothing but
despair left. Thank God Marie would
be safe enough and so would the children.
He'd fixed that, it was the
best he could do.
Well, stop thinking about it-must
go home. He rose and reached for
hat and coat. The telephone bell
called.
Why answer? Still, might as well.
Bancroft lifted the receiver and sat
down as suddenly as though pushed.
He spoke no word into the mouthpiece
but what he heard was "Bancroft,
I've decided to let you have
that money. Call in the morning."
Bancroft rushed home. "Marie!
Marie!" he called. She stepped into
the room a.ncl after he had explained
everything, he said. "So you see,
dear, why I couldn't take that trip
with you and the children. I thought
-but let's forget that.
Jimmy, rummaging through his
pockets as he sat on the edge of the
cot -that night, stared in perplexity
at a ten dollar bill.
"What'ed he give me that for?"
he said to himself.
But Jimmy did not fathom the
mystery for the cool air from the
lake and the Eound of the waves
softly washing the shore, had soon
1 ulled him off to sleep.
Football Coach Visits Kiski
In chapel Tuesday afternoon, December
11th, Bill Roper, famous
Princeton football coach, addressed
the student body. He was introduced
by our dean, Mr. J. L. Marks, who
is himself a coach of no mean merit.
One can easily understand why
Princeton has such remarkable football
teams, after having heard Bill
Roper.
He based the success of football
teams on two large factors. ( 1) Clean
living of players and taking unstinted
care of physical body and indulging
in no excesses. ( 2) AbilitJ
of players to concentrate on one sin
gle matter or play at a time. i. e. to
forget all about the last play or the
plays that are coming and to put
every amount of thought and energy
into the one that is about to be enacted.
These rules it is noticed,
helps wonderfully when applied to
life's game.
In the evening Bill Roper gave a
similar talk at the Duquesne University
banquet held in Pittsburgh.

· Juniors Win Close Game
Coach Seifert's aggregation of basketeers
succeeded in edging out the
snappy Avonmore outfit 21-22, in the
second game o:f the season.
Personals were frequent on both
sides. Ramsay distinguished himself
with four field goals and a little bit
of fancy footwork for the amusement
of the spectators. E. Marks scored
three field goals. Pesci starred for
Avonmore, scoring a total of eleven
points.
Excitement reached highest pitch
towards the end of the game, when
schoolastics scored four points in the
last minute, making the score 21-22.
At this point, however, MacNickoll
jarred for the final time the · ear
drums of the faithful few who saw
the game through with his cap pistol
(indicating the end of the game).

Thoughts of a, Kiski
Student In Study Hall
Alas! Woe is myself! Once more
I find this frame of mine bunched
into unbelievable angles on my cold,
hard seat in the midst of the dregs
of study hall.
At such times as these my mind is
apt to conjure up weird pictures fo-r
me to contemplate. I needs must
lull myself into a sort of stupor
(such as the Demon Rum can precipitate)
in order to rid myself of the
melancholy mirages. And mirages
they are. For first there comes to
me the vision ofa beautiful girl. As
I am about to speak to her the picture
changes. I find myself in the
throes of a drunken jag in the gutter
of some city. I flit like a butterfly
from sewer to manhole and
then alas!-I am hurled into oblivion.
When consciousness an:10unces its
return I look up to see a raw yokel
who cranes his angular neck and
gapes and gawks at me.
Verily, he is but a lean country
bumpkin. A veritable rustic. And
I, with my countless billions, the son
of the Bank of England, sprawling
with my bald pate in the gutter. I
ponder on the situation and deliberate
weightily upon the matter. Finally
I make up my mind to make me
deceased. As I raise the big horse
pistol (from whence it came I do not
comprehend) and just as I am about
to snuff out the earthly bulk of one
of the world's smartest, brightest and
incomparable men, a harsh voice
pierces the innermost corner of my
cranium proclaiming, "the period is
up." (Thank Heavens)!

Cage Season Opens
The varsity downed Juniata Y. M.
C. A. by the score of 3 5-3 3 in the initial
court battle of the season. The
"Y" outfit gained the lead several
times during the game, but was unable
to hold it for any length of
time. Both teams played a better
game in the latter part of the contest.
The last few minutes of play
would not have been amiss in the socalled
collegiate type of motion picture.
With three minutes to play,
the Altoona boys succeeded in making
the score 31-31 and bid fair to
gain the outer edge when Seifert and
Bryant dropped the ball through the
hoop for two baskets while the opponents
were held to one basket.
The game was hard and fast
throughout and the victory well earned.

The Four Horsemen
of the Apocalypse
1914-the Apocalyptic beast arose
from the depths of the sea. He was
like a leopard, with .feet of a bear
and a mouth 1like that of a lion. He
had seven heads and ten horns; upon
these were ten crowns and upon
each head the name of a blasphemy.
Blasphemies against humanity,
against justice, and against all the
goodness of life. The monster was
frying to govern the world and make
all pay him homage.
The mouth of the beast opened and
from it sprang a horseman on a steed
of white. He was Conquest to some
and the Plague to others. He was
dressed in a showy attire and his face
was filled with hatred as if he was
smelling out his victims. In his hand
he carried a bow while a brass quiver
filled with poisonous arrows swung
on his back. As his horse galloped
on Conquest bent low and spread
pestilence to all.
A second horseman came forth
from the mouth of· the Apocalyptic
beast. He was War. Peace fled before
him as he galloped alcng crushing
out human existence. He was
seated on a red steed and was waving
two enormous .swords above his
head. War was young and athletic,
but he scowled fiercely.
The next horseman that came forth
was Famine. Mounted on a black
horse and carrying in his hand a
scale that was the 1symboi of the
scarcity of food that was going to be
as valuable as gold. He bounced up
and down on the thin back of his
horse. Famine was bald, old, and
skmny and his legs clanked against
the flanks of his lean ste':ld.
Death, he was the fourth rider
and the power was given him to de􀄬
stroy with the sword, hunger, and
death. His knees as sharp as spurs
were pricking the ribs of his pale
horse. His thin skin showed clearly
the lines of his skeleton and his
skull-like face laughed a laugh of destruction.
He whirled aloft in his
arms a large sickle and a filthy
shroud hung from his shoulders.
These were the Four Horsemen of
the .Apocalypse riding onward like a
furious hurricane over the heads of
human beings. Horrible monsters
were swarming everywhere; people
crazed with fear were fleeing in all
directions. Men, women, young and
old alike, were knocked down by the
onward rush of the white, red, black
and pale-colored steeds.
All this thP world witnessed in
1914 and the eight years that followed.
Plague, war, hunger and
death stalked everywhere. It has
been said that these horsemen will
never disappear, sometimes lhey may
sleep , but after ten, twenty, or even
one hundred years they will again
awake and continue their terrifying
ride. Will nothing ·ever stop them?
Will Peace never reign and joy fill
the hearts of mankind?
KISKI NEWS
In 1914 it seemed as though God
were asleep, .forgetting the world.
Now he is awake; Peace and Contentment
reign at last. Long may the
Four Horsemen of Apocalypse slumber
so that happiness may remain
and peace exist forever.
Paul Liebenthal.

Pers'Onals
Homer J. Taylor, Kiski '97, has
been chosen a director of the new
$25,000,000 pottery merger recently
formed at East Liverpool, Ohio. Mr.
Taylor was president of the large
pottery company, Knowles, Taylor
and Knowles, which is the largest
unit in the new combine.
Charles Armand Paxton, Kiski '25,
who is now a student at the University
of Virginia, has been on the Varsity
honor roll every semester since
he entered. We expected it of him,
but are none the less proud.
Louis Van Rooten, Kiski '24, was
a welcome visitor during the holidays.
He is making good with an
architectural firm in Cleveland, and
at the same time keeping up his
work with the violin.
Mr. Marks made another of his
good speeches in Bradford, Pa., Monday,
Jan. 14, at a gathering of the
Rotary Club.
Coach Roper had some very fine
things to say concerning Chuck
Howe, Kiski '25 .. As a leader and as
a player he rates him among Princeton's
best.
Paul Arnold, '23, and Lyman Rogers,
'23, announce the arrival of junior
members of their households, who
will be ready to enter Kiski about
1'!142.
Arthur Campbell, '26, is taking
high honors at Slippery Rock Teachers'
College. He stands among the
first eight out of eight hundred.
Charles Messerly is attending Marietta
College, Ohio, doing pre-mnd
work. Hence that nick name, "Doc."
Warren Haymon dropped in for a
short visit at the beginning of the
tolidays. He is enjoying Bucknell,
and keeping in touch with Joe Clark,
'26. who is a Junior in the same college.
The honor rolls grow longer and
longer. Since we have not noticed
that the Faculty is suffering 'from
softening of the heart, we must conclude
that Kiski students are doing
better and better work:
William Rumbaugh, representing
Drake University, visited the campus
seve-ral times while he was at home,
and reported favorably on the Kiski
contingent at Duke. He says they
are going to send us a photograph
of the club-and if they do we will
make it a front page feature. Watch
for the extra edition.
Dr. and Mrs. Wilson on New Year's
day attended a reception given by
Dr. and Mrs. James Kelso of the
Western ·Theological Seminary, of
which institution Dr. Wilson is a
trustee.
Princeton has discontinued all traditional
:F'reshman customs except
the wearing of the black cap and tie.
Lack of interest on the part of the
Sophomores inade the enforcing of
the old customs impossible. By tllls
change at least half the "thrill" of
being a Freshman must be lost, and
a good deal of the fun besides.
The faculty at W. and J. have dealt
Cupid a mean blow by declaring that
any man who marries while enrolled
in the college is automatically expelled.
We call that interfering with
higher education.
Miss Blair, of the Presbyterian
Hospital nurses' staff, has been engaged
to assist Miss Kunkle in the
infirmary. Miss Blair is a native of
Scotlann., and was in overseas service
during the war.

NEW MEMBER OF THE FACULTY
After the Christmas holidays, Mr.
Howard R. Long, B. S., and a graddate
of Waynesburg College, joined
the Kiski faculty. He is conducting
<'lasses in French and, for the present,
has taken over lVlr. lVlyers' work
in physical educ,at10n ana swimming.
The News welcomes Mr. Long and
hopes he likes us.
Mr. Myer On Enforced
Leave of Absence
Every one at Kiski is sorry to know
of Mr. Myer's illness, and to face
the fact that he will have to undergo
hospital treatment of several weeks'
duration. It is encouraging to know
that there are already signs of improvement
in his condition, and we
hope that his recovery will be as
rapid as possible.
During his absence Mrs. Myer is
conducting his classes with the Juniors,
and Mr. Long, who joined the
faculty after Christmas, is looking
after the gym work and swimming.

Kiski Fire Farce
One of those cold, crispy nights
which were in vogue shortly after
Christmas vacation "Kiski kids"
were rudely jolted out of their midwinter
night's dreams by cries of
"Reese Hall's on fire!"
No red blooded American wishes
co miss a fire, so naturally everyone
hastily donned suitable clothing ( as
pajamas are nil). Two short seconds
saw the better half of the school
plus evening clothes, jogging, dogtrotting
and even running out the
walk in the direction of Reese Hall.
From a distance it looked as
though the entire building was
aflame and every youth's heart
jumped up in his throat as he visualized
the blazing edifice.
However, the vision, for it was
only that, was abruptly blotted out
on arriving closer.
What appeared at a distance to be
a roaring furnace of heat was merely
an optical illusion enhanced by a
P. R. R. red light which had been
lighted and thrown on the soil near
the building by some prankish fire
bugs-who are believed to have their
abode in Reese Hall.
The scores of disillusioned students
withdrew to their domiciles
muttering many unprintable condemnations
and imprecations on the
heads of the said bugs.
The usual swift hand of justice
and punishment meted out by the
"Big Five" was working but was
not brought into action. They probably
realized that boys will be boys.
One escapade like this is enough
however, and we (representing profs.
and students) wish to have no more
mischievous thrills of that nature
provided by the bugs. Let them lean
their ingemous brains more towards
the art of education and learning.
Off!cial Spelling of Kiskiminetas
After rummaging through dusty
pages of history, the Pennsylvania
Geographical Board has decided to
change the s,pelling of Kiskiminites
to Kiskiminetas. This investigation
was conducted with the aid of the
United States Geographical Board,
and the latter commission is expected
to approve spelling the word with
an e. Some of the various forms
given are "Kiskeminetoes," "Kisscomenettas"
"Kiscominatis" and
"Kee-ak-rsheemani ttoes."
We don't know where any one
found ,an excuse for the latter form,
unless he had been up all night hunting
ground hogs. Kiski has always
used the form now approved by the
Geographical Board, and that ought
to make it right, anyway-How
about it?
Mr. Davies-Why don't you answer
me?
Musser-I did. Didn't you see me
shake my head?
Mr. Davis-You don't expect me to
hear it J'attle up here do you?
Musser-You might if-but I
guess I hadn't better say it.

As it is not customary that the
vanquished receive as much publicity
as the victors let it suffice to say
that Kiski came out at the little end
of the deal, so to speak, in a court
battle with Greensburg High School
on the latter's floor.
Brooks piled up seven field goals
and two fouls for the opposition's
benefit. Incidentally the score was
41-23. The lineup:

Swimming Captain
The captain of the swimming team

10th. Malcolm McKinnon carries
the honor. Kiski captains are selected
on the merit system and McKinnon
abundantly won this captaincy.
He has been a mainstay and point
winner for two years and knows the
swimming game. The candidates and
team members will all be glad to follow
in Mac's lead.

By the shores of Cuticura,
By the sparkling Pluto Water,
Lived the Prophylactic ChicletDanderine,
f.air Buick's daughter.
She was loved by Instant Postum,
Son of Camels .and Victrola;
Heir apparent to the Mazda;
Of the tribe of Coca Gola.
Thru the darkness strolled the lovers:
Thru the Shredded Whea.t they wandered-
Lovely little Wrigley chiclet;
Washed by Fairy, fed by Postum.
No Pyrene can quench the 'fire,
Nor any Asperin still the heartache
Of my Presto-lite desire,
Let us marry, little Djer-Kiss.
Snappy Comeback.

you can't arrest me. This isn't ml
car and, besides, I haven't ,a driver's
license."
