Pep
Well, fellows, the school has really
started, and no doubt we are all
pretty well acquainted; at least we
should be. Now let's get together
and stop the horseplay and demonstrate
some real pep, and school
Rpirit. Every last one of us are good
red-blooded citizens of this wonderful
old country of ours, so le.t's be
good red-blooded citizens and defende1
·s of the traditions of dear old
"Kiski.." Why? Weil, I will attempt
tc- tell you, even tlrn􀎋gh you all ·
ought to know without being told.
You see we are all here in school together,
living next door to each other,
constantly coming in contact with
our neighbor. Naturally we all want
to get along well together. In order
to do that we must have unison, a
friendly feeling toward each other,
therefore. we must have school spirit.
Are not the fellows on the teams
cur friends?· Yes, some of them our
very best friends. Consequently it is
r,ecessary to boost our friends and
when we boost oi.ir friends we are
boosting the team, and that can't
help but develop school spirit which
u; the most essential thing in ::my
well organized educational institu-
1 ion. So let's go now!!! Get out
l,ere at the next game, every last one
o.: you, and just cheer till your throat
hurts, and you ha,·e to get a drink
d water to help it. It will do you
lots of goorl as well as every one else.
Alpha Gamma Sigma
Alpha Gamma Sigma is looking
forward to a profitable year through
tl1e return of five of its old members:
Camp, Tonkin, Yerdon, McCallister
:md Black. To add to these we are
fcrtunate in having Syberkrop, St.ein
and Clark as transfers from the Warr€
n chapter. At the present time
£ve new men are serving their
pledgeships and show promise of
good material. They are Siefert,
Leadbeter, Buckley, Conrad and Foster.
A. G. S. is gratified with this
nembership and desires to take this
0pportunity to extend to the other
fraternity of the schooL its sincere
w1ehes for a successful year.

.Kiski Wins Second
Overcoming the ill-boding auspices
<•I Lady Rumor the Varsity succeederi
in walloping Tech Frosh to the
tune of 20-0.
Kiski kicked off to the Freshmen
who, unable to make their clowns.
kicked and intercepted several Kiski
vasses and made sever;., I passes for
their own account for substantial
gains. However the boys in plaid
were chc!.:ked at the thirty-yard line.
Responcl;ng to a bounteous penalty,
K1ski pushed the pigskin and boote<l
tv .the twenty-yard line. The plebes
fumbled, paYi'.lg the way for the !lrst
touchdo1n1 of the game for Kiski. To
1:ontgomery goes the honor of es<:
orting the ball across the final line.
Tech opened the second period
with a much better brand of playing.
Startiing from the five-yard line,
tl,ey ad ·,ancecl to mid-field. At that
pc,iut, howeYer, Kiski interc:eptec\ a
pass and the ball was sent zooming
precariously near the home goal
pc,sts by Captain McMurdo's punt.
Under the shadow of the goal posts
, ti€. Tartans succeeded in returning
the ball to the center of the field via
,i kick. Kiski advanced to the twenty
yard iine by a series of passes,
t '.!en Tech retu rued the ball to the
ether end of the field, giving it up on
the thi,·ty-five yard line. Tim Tartan
tyros blanked a Kiski offensive,
bioc:ked a kick, and started a rush
01: the goal posts which ended within
a few yards from the final line.
Then th'l plaid was penalized fifteen
􀎌ards, s'lt back by two incomplete
pa􀎍:es and deprived of the oval by
a fumbl'c!. Kiski advanced the ball
t"c· the teu yard line and the whistle
blew, enil.ing a quite colorful half.
Mccurdy, formerly of Kiski, opened
the second half with a thirty-five
ya,·d gallop but beyond that the Tech
aggregatwn found that they were
unable to budge tl,e defense of the
Kiskians. Penalized five yards they
bcked to the five yard line, from
,,hich point Kiski gained twenty
yards by means of two penalties, lost
1 he ball by a furn ble, and held the
'Tartan juniors to downs. The remainder
of the period was spent in a
ir1decisiv'l struggle to extricate the
hall from the middle section of the
gridiron
In the final Quarter Kiski opened
fire from lite twenty yard line, boostE:cl
by auother pe,1alty, covered the
twenty yards in five stops for anothN
touchdown, scored this time oy
Mittler. On receiving the kick-olT
the Tartans attempted an aerial at(
1,.ck with very little success. The
Black and White replied with a
counter aerial offense which carrietl
Coach n-Iitinger's Iron Men within
􀎎coring distance, where they plunged
tnrough for a third tou<.hdown, scort
d by Schmidt. Almost a whole new
team was put into action during the
last minutes of play by the Kiski
coach. When the final whistle blew
the second string Kiskians were en:
oute for what would have ultimated
iin another touchdown had Father
Time permitted.
I The game was remarkable in the
profuseness of the organized cheer.

Sheep Invade .Kiski Links
Early Monday morning golfer.3 of
tl!e school were rudely interrupted in
1heir game of hide and seek by a
herd of wild animals Ythich recogn
;zed no creed of golf etiquette.
This flock of beasts, headed by a
black, shaggy monster, plunged down
from the hillside above number two
green during the forenoon and were
,,11 intent or. splitting the carcas of
Dong Campbell. Fortunately for t!lis
luckless lad, fellow golfers were near
n t hand. Armed with jiggers, putters,
machies and various other
makes of golf weapons they swoop•
·Cl down unon the foe and under the
sterling leadership of Jack Landahl,
succecled in routing them. As far as
we know, never in the history of the
school's golf course have the players
I;een attacked by such ferocious
t rutes.
Dr. Ma'.:Coll has been advised to
:,ppoint a committee of protect'on
which will 􀎒tand guard during golfing
hours. All he-men of the school
who are fighters and wish to apply
fur this committee, see Dr. MacOoll.

How About It?
Without doubt the nen student
has heard of the school songs, "Kiski
Tuen F0re7er" and "The Hymn to
Kiskiminetas." And, by this time,
he shoultl have realized that, :1s a
true son of Kiskiminetas, it is his
c'11ty to learn, appreciate, and •·evere
th€ songs. With a little cons1dera-
1 Jon we find it an easy task to fulfill
these obligations.
. ''.Kiski "Then Forever" was writ-
1.en in 1891, three years after the
f.Junding of the school. The music
;􀎵 the work of F. D. Glover, now a
l'iltsburgh broker, and the words by
'N. E. Forgy, at present a California
lawyer. Both men, at that t'me,
were teachers at Kiski. The •,ong
.:,pens in spirited ruarch time, ancl at
(he chon1s it. changes to a beautiful
w&.ltz. We dare say that the chorus
is one of those catchy, little bits of
music and song that are easily learned,
and if once learned, never forgotten.
It is hardly possible io not
be impressed by its gentility and
high feeling, the result, evidently, of
1rue inspiration.
In 1910, Helen M. Fair, a graduate
of t.he Boston Conservatory of
Music, r.md Ethel M. Fair, a graduate
of Vassar, composed "The Hymn
lo Kiskiminetas," the former writiug
the music, the latter the ·,yords.
Both are daughters of the late R W.
f<'air, one of the founders of the
fchool. The song is intended to be
,;ung at commencement, and is used
o.s a processional at that time. One
who has carefully interpreted the
hymn masters the true spirit of Kiskiminetas.
The composition is in
d,gnified march tempo. The poet,
1·epresentlng the graduating class,
1akes a look beyond to "see wh?.t the
dawn of day betokens." He sees
that many opportunities, girts of
God, lie before them. The music
tben becomes Yery soft, and the voet
makes ar, invocation t.o the Spirit of
Light to be their guide. Finally a
iast requ·􀎶st is made for truth, youth
and strength to conquer all.
Common sense must be used in re,;
pecting t.he songs. We believe we
Xiskians know on what occasions
1hcy should be sung. We realize
tl.J.ey are not to be used freely, for
so employing them would be as apr,
ropriate as parading up and clown
the streets of Saltsburg on a Saturday
nighl singing "The Star Spangled
Banner." Indeed what the nat10nal
ant.hem is to our United
·States, "Kiski Then Forever " and
"'The Hymn to Kiskiminetas" are to
-our Kis!d.
Once more ,fellow students, we
urge you to learn, appreciate, ii.nd
l'evere the school songs as a true son
of "Kisk; on the River."
Improvements
Many improvements have been
made here during the summer
mcnlhs. A separate door and a walk
leading to it alongside the Gym, have
hE.en constructed as a new entrance
to the bowling alleys. This is much
more convenient and practical than
KISKI NEWS
the old way through the swimming
pool room. The pool, itself, has been
re-painted, and two new trapezes
l'.ave beea hung over ii.
The golf course has been improved
t,y the adJition of bunkers and the
altered position of the third and sevE,
nt h holes. A new well has been dug
on the golf course. lt is 135 feet
c1eep and will insure us a supply of
fresh, cle··tr water.
The roads and walks have been
i:nprov<!d by a covering of furnace
slag. Paiating and paperin&: have
teen done all over the school. The
r!ining room especially has been restained
aDd re-varnished and soon
nEw-cretonne curtains-will be lrnng at
1 lie windows. New rugs have been
placed in t!le first floor hall of Main.
The front room in Paradise has been
made into a classroom.
A new stone bridge has been con
􀎷tructed on the Spring Path, which is
a great improvement over th,'l old,
wooden affair which was formerly
1 hue. Vll1en one walks over this
liridge he need have no misgivings,
and surely H makes a much finer appt::arance
1.tan t.he old one.
The 1928 Class Memorial
Everyone has undoubtedly noticed
:.hE: be:i.utiful wall at the foot of the
pa th to town. This is the gift of
last year·s graduating class. It was
presented to the school at an inspiring
dedication service, soon after the
r 1 ass had been a warded their diplomas.
A better gift and a better location
for it could hardly have been chosen.
The wall Hself exemplifies strength,
F=curity and beauty. The rocks, take.
1 from t:ie bed of the river, had
been worrr smooth by the continuous
ilow of water over them and colored
a rusty brmvn by the iron sulphate in
the ril·er. The beauty of the Glen is
greatly en!rnnced by this gift. and it
could hardly be passed unnoticed by
anyone driving by.
The pat.I which, before the wall
was built, was either unnoticed by a
stranger or else seemed just like an
c·rdinary path, now holds the promise
<;f some􀎸hing worth-while and import.
ant at its end. For why should
;;l,ch a be:rntiful wall as that be built
!or a palh that just leads to some
t1nimportant spot?
In many ways is the gift of the
Class of 1928 helpful to the school
and we are all grateful to them for
Reserves Beat Norwin
The Appleknockers defeated the
ft.rong Norwin High School Aggrega-
1.ion, which has been invincible for
two years, by the score of 14-0.
Schaefer, at half, intercepted a
, J'􀎹.ss and ran thirty yards for one of
1lle two Kiski Louchdowns. Foster
niccessfully negotiated both of the
:::lacements after the touchdowns.
The Kiski backfield proved to be
especially effective in breaking up
the enemy's aerial altacks. Everett's
work al center was highly comrnendabl2.
The stellar roles on the opponents'
,;ide of the line were played by Kavel
and Humphries. Kiski's ground
was made mainly by runs around the
extremities while Norwin was unable
to advance except through center.

Orchestra Debut
At the show Saturday night, September
3(,rh, the Kiski jazz orchesira
opened its season by playing a
group of selections which were greatiy
appreciated by the audience.
Since then, with a few short practice
sessions. its members have developed
into· a sterling combination
nf rhythmical syncopaters.
Besides affording entertainment at
':he Saturday night shows they also
render music for dinner two or three
times a wE:ek.
Skee Simmons is still the capable
leader.. He is assisted by last year's
regulars: Mc:Callister, at the banjo;
Gill, trumpet; Jones, drums; Lowry,
􀎺ax; Hudson, flute and Volkwein,
nolin . The newcomers include Evrrett,
Higgins, Schaefer, Cousins,
Simpson and Scully. All in all a
peppy bunch of entertainers.
A couple of dance engagements as
well as a radio concert have already
been booked and we are sure that
tl1ey will afford some Yery good p,·og
􀎻 ams. •
Our Buddies
Gee! it's great that we have buddies,
Just to come and hang around;
To help a fellow in his studies,
And cheer him up when he is
clown.
Honest I'ellows, lasting friendships;
Something money will not gain.
Tackling problems, facing hardshirs;
Pals togelher in life's game.

Omega XI
The Mu Chapter of Omega XI has
resumed activities for its seventh
year of participation in the fraternal
circle of Kiski. The new year has
brought renewed effort on the part
of the members to extend the influPnce
of the organization throughout
the various activities of the school in
·1 way which will reflect credit upon .
the name of the fraternity. The ren,
nt membership drive has resulted
in the pledging of the following five
,.nen: Sam Gill, Donald Manley, Merl
,tt Moore, Robert Moore and Kenneth
Smith. With the added strength
d these men, the fraternity has the
r,ssurance of a successful year in
competition with the other groups,
to which it extends its cordial wish
for similar good fortune.
Minor Sports
The Fall Tennis Tournament !ms
011ened and a number of good playcrs
luwe entered it. Also some of our
b<>st players from last year arc bad,
aild will put up a hard fight. Black
and Conrad had a very spirited
match. Both were getting their
,,E-rves in most of the time and were
r,laying an exceptionally good brand
of tennis. However Conrad looked
as if he hadn't been playing much
this summer. Many of his drives •
that should have been good failed to
!and in the court. The final score
·was G-,1 ;n favor of Black. Th,􀊀 fact
1 hat Black had more practicci gave
Iii.m the ecig-,.
The two courts behind Gymn have
been fixed up and are now rea1y for
use. Quite a number of boys have
teen playing tennis in the afternoon,
m􀊁d these courts will probably relieve
the congestion.
The Fall golf tournament is also
m progress. The competitors are divided
into two sections: one for the
best players and the other for-well,
sa:i, any kind. Both seem to be getting
along finely. Unless an exceptionally
good · new boy turns up a
f,lirly sure guess can be mad·e as to
the winner.
The Junior football team startP-d
practice last week. They are uncl
er the very capahle leadership of
Mr. Marks and therefore ought to
have a very gooct team this year.
1'1.ey are not in top notch form vet,
but they have been practicing only a
\ ery few days a'nd show every indic
·;;,tion of having a successful year
if they keep on fighting the way they
have been.
A hor:,eshoe tournament is being
rtarted this year. This may be something
novel and exciting for some of
the boys but no doubt there are
some wh ') know something of th8
game. \Ve :ne sure that everyo1H
that enters will have a good time.
Gamma Delta Psi
The year's outlook for the Gamnrns
is verr bright. President Stineman,
J. Jones, Campbell, Volkwein;
KISKI NEWS

fellows have been taken in but some
of the "Neophytes" who are under
surveillance are: Montgomery, Port,
Sayenga, Tves, Lutz, Kimora, Murdoch,
Morgan, Petruzzi, Newman and
Mark.
Brother McCurdy visited us when
the Carnegie Plebes' football team,
of which he is captain, played Kiski
11ere.
Jack White, last year's president,
i3 attending Duke University, and
all reports from him are favorable.
The Gammas wisl to extend the best
oi luck to all students and to all fraternal
organizations affiliated with
the 3chool for the new school year.
