VERMILLION GOES THROUGl-I KISKI
On Monday, March 5th, Earl Westfall
entered school in an ·Essex ,Super
Six with a flat tire and no spare and
a ·bandana handkerchief for a gas cap.
He interviewed Dr. Mac1Col1l and
was aksed what he would like to take.
iHie hesitated a good deal, but indirectly
let it be known that he would like
to take an automobile and a fur coat.
To prepare for such a heavy sched•
ule .he was given a square meal and
introduced to a number of his future
fellow students and a few of the
faculty.
He was a ,little shy about going to
class :but began his studies in Ed.
Armibruster's wardrobe where he
solved his rfirst problem and put the
answer under his arm.
He next attended exercises in the
River Breeze garage where he led the
class and took the first prize.
When 1Dr. MaoColl came back from
·his trig class he took one searching
look in the garage and exclaimed 'my
!George that new student has graduated."
It was thought at 1first that he had
left the Essex as a souvenir of his
course at Kiski but the Essex belonged
to a citizen of Wheeling.
The telephone compang, rfive detective
:bureaus and the po,lice of several
cities then snapped into action
but nothing was heard from our graduate
until Tuesday night.
At that time the School received ,S.
0. S. signals from a citizen of Aspinwall
that the full back of the Kiski
football team had carried off his
sweet sixteen daughter.
The police then surrounded the
house, but Lochinvar brought his
young lady back five minutes before
the trap was sprung.
By this time the River 'Breeze Huick
and the Armbruster coat had become
famous and all the traffic cops in
three states were on the a1lert.
Several cases were reported where
the eye balls of the cops were knocked
off by passing cars.
In the last act of the drama the
Buick had a flat tire and was abandoned
in ·Highland •Park.
W estfall's pocket book next had
the same trouble and in seeking to
borrow something to inflate his wallet
the ·hero stumbled into the net of
the Wheeling podice, with the coat
still ,o:􀂪 him. As he hit the bench he
was heard to remark "The way of
the badguessor is hard, I wish I had
one of those nice soft seats in the
Kiski Study Hall."

Mr. Halstead Addresses Boys
Mr. Gordon Halstead, a !Syracuse
graduate, and now a Y. M. ,C. A. ,Secretary,
gave the boys a splendid talk
on last Wednesday night. He presented
to •us the fact that ever since
the creation of life and animation,
man has been going through the process
of loo·king ,u,p and getting a
·broader view of life. He emphasized ·
the theory of evolution as an exampile.
Man as a being, as a ,class, and as a
race have gone, are going and wili
continue to go, through this process
of looking up .and up. The -ones who
Jive in valleys get only a narrow outlook
on the life of the surrounding
world while th-0se who have reached
the hilJ, tops look down and back on
the valley. He applied this simile to
the progress of man; after rea,chino·
the pinnacle, every man looks back
and down on his former state.
' IMr. Halstead spent the night with
::pr. MacColl and after •breakfast next
morning went to Indiana to meet the
·boys there who are in the "Y" work
at the Normal 1Col1lege.
Professor Ealy Speaks
A practical talk on engineering was
,\"iven in Chapel on the evening of
February 23 by Professor Ealy former
engineer of the U . .S. :Steel Corporation,
now head of the !Department of
Engineering at !Carnegie Tech. Aft2r
a short introductory talk in ,which he
spoke of possibi,lities in the engineering
!field, he showed, by the ·use of
slides, some of the incidents in the life
of an engineer. There were pictures
taken in the work shops at Carnegie
Tech, others showing th= metallurgical
laboratories of the big steel mills,
and still others depicting the work of
structural engineers. The last shown
was a chart, showing the possibi•lities
of remuneration in the profession.
The talk, much enj-0yed by all present,
no doubt helped some toward a
more definite decision as to the line
of endeavor they intend to follow.

Abraham Lincoln
We publish below the Essay which
won the medatl offered each year by
the American Legion for the best
paper on "Abraham Lin􀊉oln".
What He Means To Me
By Lloyd Roberts.
It is not possible for me to analyze
the processes and results of human
tho·ught, but I have always been certain
that one's ideals largely control
one's thoughts and immediate life and
have a definite influence on one's future
character. If a person is to accomplish
much he must have as his
example one who has been successfuil.
The Life -of Lincoln attraoeted my attention
when I was quite young, be_
cause of the romantic appeal of what
seemed to me to tie an interesting
fairy tale. As I grew older, and
learned more abo·ut this wonderful
man and the unusual conditions under
which he rose to fame; I decided
h1s was an ideal life to study as a
moral pattern.
T·he scant fundamental education
he gleaned from interrupted sessions
·at the country school wouild have discouraged
a dau· ntable spirit but of
his early hardshi:ps he made ·opportunities
and availed himself -of
:books as t'he 'Bible and "Pilgrims •Progress."
It takes effort to train the
mind and fill it with useful ,knowledge
and therefore Lincoln did not contaminate
his mind with reading of
little 'worth. This ai!one has helped
me to appreciate better literature and
realize that I· must not only read for
knowledge but must also have a
knowledge of what to read.
Lincoln's a.lbility 1o make friends,
lasting friends, I have .always considered
one of his most commendable
•and enviable characteristics. He had
a deep, uns-e'lfi.sh feeling of sympathy
that is clearly displayed in his
many kind deeds, personal letters and
even his state papers. He seemed to
welcome a tale of sorrow as a chance
whereby he might help someone, instead
of complaining of the burdens
·he already h•ad to bear. One -of the
greatest seecrets of his s·uccess was his
trust in :Divine 'Providence and the
fact that he turned to ,God in times
,"when adversity sapped his mo1'tal
strength. If a man of the ability and
resourcefulness of Lincoln needs the
hEJlp of God how much more must I
rely on Him for strength and guidance.
The sincerity of purpose with whi::h
Loncoln fought for a cause he thought
was right was evident in all his w-:irk.
IH:e always stood for the right ma:ntaining
honesty and integrity in all
his dealings, ever tho·ughtful of others
and forgetful of self. That is a good
exampie. tMake the work primary
.and the recogniti-011 of the w-:irk secondary.
This will inevitao,1 y develop
a production ambition. .By doing
work with no thon,;tht of re;vard, certain
qualities iwhich cannot be concealed,
will be permanently built.
Human history is full o.f the wre􀊊kage
of noble intenticns for social betterment
which failed because the visionary
quality was apparen'bly constructive
but the creative qi;ality had
a sel•fish motive.
Although the tragk death of Lincoln
ended the life of a remarkable
man and caused sorrow to sweep.
through .the land, we, of this later
day, who read .of the high aims, no'ble
thoughts, sympathetic feelings and
unse1fish purposes can more fully
than his contemporaries reailize what
he did for his country, for our co·untry,
a· nd that his influence will live
on as long as history is written, and
his words, his deeds, the good he
wrought, 1will live forever in the
hearts of his countrymen. H-e achieved
greatness IJ:>ut was ·ever humible and
the friend of the oppressed, advocating
the cause of human liberty. He
was sincere in every task and a faithful
servant of the people to the last.
His ·own words most truly describe
him to me: "1With mai:ice toward
none; with charity for all."
An ideal does not definitely establish
a goal b·i;t gives aim and airection
to one·s life. While I have chosen a !
lofty aim in having $0 wonderful a
a life as Lincoln's to emu1:ate, the
value of such an ideal is not so much
in its attainment as in the reflex influence
the study ·of such .a powerful•
character has on my life.
Debate
On Friday evening, March 9, the
most interesting debate of the year i
was held, the questing being: Resolved:
T,hat ,Capital !Punishment
tShould Not IBe Displaced By Life Imprisonment.
The debate was hotly f
contested an<l though both sides had
go-0d speakers, the judges decided in
the affirmativ:e, upheld ,by Rabenstein
and ,Moon, with Roberts in rebuttal.
On t'he negative side were R.
l.Jaugherty and Manuel Estrada,
with John Gregg in rebuttal. So
much interest was dis,played in this
meeting by clu•b members it must be
conduded that debating is a major
sport at Kiski.

Junior Basketball
The Juniors have completed their
basketball season with a record of ten
wins out ·of thirteen games. They
have played ag.ains•t some very good
teams this year, teams which in fact
were out of their class, but they managed
to pull through in nearly every
game. It might -be said that in every
one of the three games in which they
were beaten, they held the lead a-t the
end of the tfirst half.
The Juniors defeated the Varsity
Olub of 'Tarentum in the return game
here on Februarv 10. by the s,core of
·20-19. Ramsay led ,his team in scoring
with a total of •6 points. ,Sch'wartz

looks a good deal like an a via tor's,
and when he rwalked into the study
hall one day last week to take a look
at the old pla􀉊e, the boys thought
Lindy had suddenly dropped down in
our midst.
Richard Harlow
Mr. "Dick" Harlow was visiting
Kiski with Mr. Yeckley on Tuesday,
lYlarch 6. In Chapel ·lVir. iMarks persuaded
him to give us a little talk. He
is an alumnus of Penn State and excoach
of his Alma Mater; he was later
coach at !Colgate and is now puttmg
out some of the bast teams that ever
graced the gridiron at Western Nlaryiand.
1<·or this reason the talk which
he gave was rather unique. He is
very much interested in wild bird and
animail life and has managed to procure
some very valuable specimens
and information for the .Smithsonian
Institute. His talk was not on football
as we we.re anticipating, but on
the equally interesting subject of one
of ,his trips.
This ·expedition was up into the
northern pa1·t of rCanada m quest of
several very strange birds and information
about their nesting ha-bits.
The party traveled up into the northern
wilderness of !Canada, three hundred
miles beyond any railroad or
highway of any sort. lYlr. Harlow
described it as a rather 1barran
swampy country frequented by tal:l
pine trees; the worst mosquito co·untry
in existence. ·There are numberless
wild ducks around the many lakes
as well as lots of birds 1with which we
are not so familiar. 'Bear, wolves,
foxes and a great deal of other wild
game dwell in this secluded lair. We
were given a beautiful picture of the
glimmering northern lights and the
howling wolves on those cold, still,
frosty nights.
!Perhaps the most important point
that "Dick" wished to bring out was
the character of the true, full-·blooded
American Indian. The white traders
spread disease and unhappiness among
him, ta·ught him to drink and gambl·e,
stole his land and pushed him ba:k into
barren lands; but he remains today
pure, simple, clean, honest and manly,
one of the ,finest of 1God's creations,
the speaker said. Although the
white man has almost wiped out his
race, he remains a fine man.
The expedition obtained their
specimens and had some very thrilling
·experiences. Mr. Harlow said,
"it's a great country," and he certainly
created in me a desire to visit it
some day. We all enjoyed this tailk
about the wild open spaces far to the
north, a vast, uninhabited expanse we
hear very little about. Let us in the
future try to think more kindly of
o·􀇓r brother, the American Indian.
