Kiski Swimming Team

As the team sped rapidly on to the
monotonous clickety clack of the
wheels on the rails, the thoughts of
Carl Jennings were not interrupted
by the unusual scenes that passed his
window in the wonderful panorama
which nature exhibits in June.
H;e had recently left col:ege at the
end of his sophmore year and was
on his way to assume his duties as a
life guard on the beach at Atlantic
City.
The summer before, he had held
the same position, so whil e it did not
have the appeal of new work, it was
fascinating because of the nature of
it.
He would be in the best of condi-
The Life Saver
tion when football practice was called
in the fall and he reflected on the
keen competition the corning season
seemed to promise.
The dull uninteresting scenery of
the barren waste he passed through
from Camden to the Coast, seemed
to prolong his journey and he was
anxious to discover what new experiences
he would encounter on his
arrival.
When he reached Atlantic City,
he went straight to the home where
he stayed the previous summer, and
where he knew he was expected.
The hearty welcome he received,
made him realize he would again enjoy
the jovial hospitality that had
often driven away his lonesome
moods the previous year.
His work at the beach so far had
been rather uneventful, but as the
month of July opened, the crowds
seemed to· promise something of interest
even to a life guard .
It was a warm July afternoon.
The cooling, soothing breeze that
wafted in from the ocean nearly
lulled him to sleep as he sat in his
chair during his hours on duty.
Sudden y he came out of his day
dream! What was the cause of the
running and screaming? His trained
eye soon took in the s:tuation and in
a moment he was to the rescue.

Pep,-
w ell, fellows, we will soon be
reapy for our first baseball game.
tI'he candidates have been out every
􀄰fternoon w.;orking hard to make a
successful team, but to have a successful
team,. we have to have a sucEessful
school, and to have a successful
school we have to have school
spirit. This stuff about not having
any school spirit is the bunk. We all
have school spirit and we all know ·
l.ve have it, yes, bubbling over with
􀄱
t, but for some reason or other, we
on't seem to show it. Why not?-!
on't know, nd neither do you,
hone of us do. Of course there are
always a certain few who are all the
time growling about this thing, or
that thing . .f it isn't about six days
school, then it's because they think
they have to get up too early, it:s
always just one thing after another,
but they are the fellows who couldn't
get along no matter where they were
-why, they couldn't even get along
with themselves. You know as well as
I do that as soon as we hear any one
say that some other school is better
than Kiski-well- you just fly up
in the air, and you would stand and
argue all day to prove th"it Kiski is
the better of the two. Well, isn't it?
Sure it is, you're darn right. Now
when that team comes on the field
for their first game, and all the rest
of them, there doesn't want t,o be
any one in here playing tennis; '-􀄲r
golf-􀄳e want !yoq 11, e􀄴er,;.'last one

mighty discouraging for the team to
walk out to the diamond, and see half
of the fellows in here playing tennis
or any􀄸h:ng else, when they could be
out there in back of them. The team
needs you just like it needs its coach,
and the players need you just
like Uncle Sam needs you in time of
war.
Are you ready???

(Continued from Page 1)
Some one was drowning! Into the
waves he ran, battled his way thru
the surf and reached one in danger.
He grasped the almost lifeless form
to him and won his way back to
shore. It was a child he had rescued.
The little one had become separated
from its panic stricken mother when
the breakers had come in unusual-.
ly rough.
As the life guard laid the child on
the beach to give him first aid, he
little realized how carefully his efforts
had been viewed. Rising from
the sand as the boy was being carried
away by attendants, his gaze
met a beautiful and alluring pair
of eyes that seemed to say "what a
wonderful deed you have done."
For a moment he stood blushing
and concealed his desire to become
further acquainted with the owner of
those eyes. Then, as if to answer his
silent wish the g:rl reached forward
her hand say;ng, "I am Miss Shirley
Berry and would like to commend
your unselfish act."
Carl straightened, his heart turned
a flip-flop and he extended his hand
muttering something about "being
pleased to meetcha" which he was
not sure she had heard.
From this time on, they met again
and again, becoming better acquainted
with and appealing more to each
other. One day her father found her
talking to Carl on the beach. Mr.
Berry, quick-tempered, rushed up
to them, grabbed his daughter by the
hand and drawing her away, said,
"If we want any life-savers in our
family we can buy them by the box.
Carl started to reply, but her eyes
told him it was useless, so he maintained
an aloofness which did him
credit under the circumstances. That
night stro:l;ng down from the board
walk, toward his house, he was overtaken
by Shirley who tried to speak,
though breathless from running.
"Carl, something-t-terrible has
h-happened, father is leaving th-this
place tomorrow because of what has
happened. I just had to say goodbye."
Carl, deeply hurt by this unfortunate
change of affairs, told her
much as he pressed her to him and
tenderly kissed her. "Don't worry
dear," he said, "because true friends,
thq' they must part, are never separatted":"
,
1 Softly she replied "I must go
now, but I will remember", and
they parted.
'Tl\.e r rema:nder of the summer
passed rapidly and September found
Carl hard at work on the football
field, with their first game only two
days away. There was keen competition
for the backfield and he was
not sure of his p· ace yet. Fina1 ly the
last practice the coach played Yardee
at back position, thereby signifying
that Carl would not start the game.
The football season drew near tha
end with Yarder and Jennings a·ternat:
ng at half-back until the final
game with Middleburg. They always
worked the hardest to be in perfect
condition as they thought a victory
in this game meant a successful season.
The "morning" for the game
dawned bright and clear with just
enough frost in the air to give the
teams that added pep.
The crowd was gathering around
and gradually the stand filled with
the colorful array that inspires any
football team.
There seemed to be an altercation·
at the ticket gate.
"I'm sorry madam, but you'll have
to have your tickets."
"But I tell you my husband is an
alumnus, whey we're the Berry's!"
"I don't care if you're the Cat's
Meow, you cannot get in here without
tickets.'
Just then Mr. Berry came up
with the tickets and Mr. and Mrs.
Berry entered the stadium with their
daughter. Carl d:d not know they
were coming but he did notice Shirley
as they entered their box near
his bench. What a thrill coursed thru
his veins, what a palpitation of the
heart, how he wished he were starting
the game. But no such luck for
him, as the coach called for Yarder
to take half-back instead.
The whistle blew! The game started,
with Middleburg kicking to Cornell.
The fullback received the kick
and carried it only eight yards, when
he was tackled. An off tackle play
and a line plunge netted only two
yards and then an incomplete pass
forced them to kick. Middleburg received
the punt and went down the
field, making first down on three
plays. The ball zig zagged down the
field until the half was nearly ended
when Middleburg intercepted a pass
and ran for a touchdown and made
the extra point. The half ended disasterously
for Cornell, as the score
was 7 to O in favor of Middleburg.
As the team walked out toward the
field to resume play, Carl heard a
call. Was it for him? Was he to
have the chance he longed for?
"Jennings!" Yes, that was for him!
He was to take his place at half-back.
The game started with the third quarter
being uneventful except that
Carl was quieting down and gradually
getting his stride. The fourth
quarter he carried the ball on the
first p'ay on Cornell's 40 yard , line,
off tackle. He is down! No he is still
going-now through the secondary
defense-he was now almost flying
past the wh;te lines. Would he be
able to elude the safety-a flying
tackle-he goes down-no he warded
off the tackle and stumbling, regained
his footing and sped on to a
touchdown. The Cornell rooters went
wild. The extra point was made by a
kick. Score now. 7 to 7.
Middleburg receives the kick and
starts a march up the field. Why
cannot the Cornell line hold? Down
they go to Cornell's 50 yard line,
then 25, then 15, oh! oh! is it a
touch-no he is tackled-he fumbles
-like a shot Carl recovers---down
the field he goes almost before he
is noticed. A touchdown is made. The
game ends-Cornell 13-Middleburg
7.
From the stands surge the crowds
but a deep voice above the tumult
cried "Who made that run? I must
see that boy." It was the coach that
answered "Why right here. Mr. Berr
· y meet Carl Jenning."
What a look of surprise came over
their faces. Was this the boy whom
he had insulted. He must somehow
smooth this over.
"My boy" said Mr. Berry, "as an
alumnus of Cornell, I consider it an
honor to be a friend of such a hero.
"Oh, by the way, here is Shirley."
Isn't it queer how proud she was
of the muddy streak across her back
in the shape of an arm?

There are two spots on the Kiski
Campus dear to the hearti; of every
Kiski boy-present and past-The
Spring Path and The Glen-rarely
can one find such beauty, such interesting
rock formation, such a succession
of marvelous flowers, such a
variety of birds, as here. In the past
few years, the graduating classes
have added much to the beauty of
the Glen by aiding in the erection of
a bridge, a long flight of cement
steps -and stone pillars, the latter intended
.to be topped by electric
lights. Unfortunately, the faculty
and alumni _pr,0pose, so to speak,
and the student body disposes. One
'Yeek the pillars will be topped by
electric b-qlbs and globes, in sightly
array-the next by merely a socket,
surrounded by shattered glass. What
we would like to ask, is the big idea,
seriously interfering with the beauty
in !;Onstantly breaking those lights,
of tqe Glen, and rendering the passage
dangerous for those who must
pass_up and down after dark? It is
a cas􀃳 of vap.dalism, probably pu'i·e- ·ly
thoiight-les􀃴i but none the less.
very discredifable to the studen'e
bod-y. There are. certain: ills which
can be best cured by 'the boys themselves,
and this is one of them. Kind·

CIJecker Tournament
One of the great indoor recreations
participated' in by most boys
at 'ly.ski is the game of checkers. A
tournament to decide the champion
checker playel' of the school was
started in 'the midd!e of March and
fifty-two boys responded. The tournament
has progressed to the third
round with Gannon, Catalano, Gregg,
Glosser, Garner and Keck as the
most promising to come out as the
"champ."

Samuel Feree Marks
Kiski was saddened deeply by the
death of Rev. Samuel Ferree Marks
of pneumonia on the morning of
April 10, at his home on the Campus.
The memorial services were held
Thursday afternoon, conducted by
Dr. George M. Ryall of Saltsburg,
Prof. Robert Dick Wilson of Princeton
Theological Seminary and Dr.
Francis Hall of Cleveland, Ohio. Interment
was in the beautiful Edgewood
Cemetery at Saltsburg.

Harvey Marks, Providence, Rhode
Island, Miss Sarah Sansom, Mr.
and Mrs. Harry Bartley, Indiana,
Pa., Mr. and Mrs. Robert Mullen,
Winber, Pa.,
It was a matter of regret that
several close relatives were in California,
Arkansas, Texas, and other
points so far distant that their presE?nce
was impossible.
Mr. Marks is survived by his wife
to whom he was united in marriage
in October, 1883, his daughter, Miss
Mary Helen Marks, dean of Pennsylvania
College for Women and by his
son, James L. Marks, dean of Kiskiniinetas
·. Besides hi􀃵 immediate family
there are his five grandchildren,
Wilson F., James L.; Sarah F., Mary
Lynn, and Robert W., to all of
whom Mr. Marks was deeply attached
There are also three brothers, John
N., of Cheyenne, Wyoming, Harvey,
of Providence, Rhode Island, and
Lafayette Marks of Springdale,
Arkansas, and two s:sters, Mrs. W.
H. Crighton, Ft. Wayne, Indiana,
and Mrs. A. M. Olds of Dallas, Texas.
Mr. Marks was born 73 years ago
in Chester, West Virginia, and was
familiar with the development of the
Ohio river country from Civil War
times up to the· present. The early
part' of his life was spent on his
father's farm and as a student and
teacher. He attended Washington
and Jefferson OoHege and was graduated
in 1879. He then -entered West-
Page Three
ern Theological Seminary, ending
his course in 1882, and beginning his
ministry at Ft. Wayne, Indiana. In
1889 he was called to the First Presbyterian
Church of Tidioute, Pa.,
where he remained until 1923, when
he resigned on account of advancing
years. Since then he has made
his home at Saltsburg and Kiskiminetas
an honored and beloved figure
in the life of the community.
During his long membership in the
Erie Presbytery he became a leader
of great influence and his friendship
and counsel were sought and
prized. The educated were attracted
by his learning, the uneducated by
his wisdom. The years since his retirement
were spent in quietly doing
kindnesses for his friends. He seemed
to radiate a spiritual current that
made it easier for others to be happy.
He had translated the thirteenth
chapter of first Corinthians into a
working philosophy of life.
Swimming
The Athletic Committee has awarded
the varsity K to the following
members of this year's swimming
team: Abbott, Beck, Blanchard, MacKinnon,
Werts and Mac Coll. The
team this year experienced great
trouble in scheduling meets. The
four they did have were two duel
series of meets with downtown Y. M.
C. A. and Uniontown. The results
weer as follow:
Kiski 30; Downtown Y. 29.
Kiski 18; Downtown Y 41.
Kiski 28; Uniontown Y 31.
Kiski 26; Uniontown Y 33.
The Relay Team only lost one race
but the pool record was broken by
the winning team.
The "Y" Boosters
The first meeting of the Y. M. C.
A., under booster rules was held
Wednesday evening, April 11th, in
the lobby.
Under the booster rules, those who
attend every meeting or every meeting
but one, during the Spring
Term, have .a right to vote and hold
office. They qualify as boosters. The
attendance was good, as slightly
over one hundred were present.
John Bryson was the leader and
after read:ng the parable . of the
prodigal son in a clear and impressive
way, he called on Estrada and
Tilson for the opening prayers.
The leader next introduced Sandy
MacColl, who addressed the meeting
on the subject of the recent Y. M.
C. A . Convention, at Sewickley.
Lloyd Roberts then started a series
of sentence prayers which increased
the devotional spirit of the meeting.
After the closing hymn had been
sung, the Executive Committee voted
this meeting one of the best of
the year.

Campus Notes
Several members of the Kiski Faculty
took part in an old tyme concert
given in the Presbyterian church on
Friday, the 13th. In spite of the date,
the affair was well attended, and a
great success. Mr. Hund was a close
under study in appearance to David
Warfield and Mr. Lawson scored a
big hit in a banjo and song reportoire
which included Negro Spirituals
and some of Harry Lauders songs.
Mrs. Myer and Mrs. Hund, charming
in old fashioned costumes, took part
in the singing, and Mrs. MacColl assisted
at the piano.
If you see any of the upper-class
men looking particularly wild and
distraught, lay it to that senior oration.
Robert Stewart Greenaway, April
13, 1928, is the latest Kiski student
to place his name on the roster. The
Kiski News welcomes him to the

Andy says it's a poor fire that does
nobody good. He likes the new Bake

his good rolls and bread once more.
Dr. Wilson, Mr. J. L. Marks, Billie
and Jimmie drove as far south as
Durham in the spring vacation, to
meet Mrs. Wilson and Mrs. Marks.
They came back full of enthusiasm
over the climate and Duke University,
which latter promises to be one
of the greatest educational centers
of the world-it has the endowment,
all it needs is time.
Mrs. Wilson stopped at Baltimore
on her way home to consult specialists
there, and after two weeks of
treatment reports that she is much
improved. We shall all welcome her
back again.
At a mock political convention
held in Saltsburg recently, Dr. Wilson,
nominating Al Smith and Major
Daub nominating Thomas Walsh,

that a similar program would · make
a lively entertainment at Kiski some
night.

Baseball Outlook
The baseball season will soon be
under way again and another sport
will create new stars. Some very
good teams have been booked with
West Virginia Freshmen, St. Vincent's
College, and Shadyside Academy.
The team itself with its new
coach, "Jock" Sutherland, has a very
good outlook. Among the veterans
are Hornyak, "Shorty" Frowen, and
Abbott. Hornyak, last year's stellar
pitcher, has been named captain for
the ensuing year. Rabenstin, R.
Daugherty, Eisaman, Brown, Wertz,
and Werner, among the newcomers,
look like coming stars. With a week
of practice before the opening game,
much good work can be done.

Romeo and Juliet.
Romeo went into debt,
'Cause Romeo owed for what Juliet
Abbott-"! once saw a man dive
from a 100 foot tower into two feet
of water without striking bottom.
Aultman-"That's nothing, I saw
a man dive from a 50 foot tower onto
a damp wash rag. Beat that.
Mr. Lawson-"How would you
punctuate this sentence? "I see Jane
a pretty girl!"
Clark-"l'd make a dash after
Jane!"
Mr. Marsh-"What is the meaning
of density?"
Jack Keifer-"! can't define it,
but I can give an illustration."
Mr. Marsh-"The illustration is
good. Sit down."
Moon-"May I print a kiss upon
your lips?"
Girl friend-" Yes, if you don't
publish it."
l\lfr. Culp-"Yes, I have confidence
in Jim. He will make his mark whereever
he goes."
Dr. Wilson-"Yes, I believe that.
I've seen his initials carved on the
desks."
Sid Stein-"! can go with any
girl in Niles I please."
Bud S.-" Yeah, show me the girl
you please."
Messerly-"Dear there has been
something trembling on my lips for
months. I've-ah-"
The girl-"Yes, I can see it. Why
don't you shave it off?"

The Snow Bat tie
Wow! what a place that battle
ground was when the snowballs were
flying thick and fast. A snow fort
had been built the night before by
the students in the shape of a triangle.
The attackers were boys from
Paradise and Main Halls and the
other boys in the school were the defenders.
One boy was chosen from
each hall as leader. Aultman and
Tiny and Gibson on one side and
Roberts, Daugherty, Gregg and
White on the other side. While the
charge on the fort was being made,
a Pathe News photographer took
pictures of the tliickest of the fight.
I rather concede that the defenders
were victorious, but the other
side put up a wonderful fight and
from the most accurate tabulation
obtained, I believe the defenders had
the greater number of casualties the
next day. All will agree the battle
was a grand affair and will never be
forgotten by the participants.
The Oration
What a bother is are Oration!
Seniors can be seen running around
with all sorts of pained expressions.
One has sent his in to Congress as a
valuable treatment on flood control
-another expects to get a place in
politics by boosting Hoover-some
are aiming to break into print in
various other ways. Subjects go from
treatise on "Beauty" to "Baseball".
What a life. Pity to those
poor seniors who have to say them,
but more to be p;tied is he who has
to listen to them.
