"Ads" and "Ends"
TO OUR ADVERTISERS
THE STAFF of the June 1927 "LIFE" wishes to express its sincere appreciation to
the business men of Pittsburgh for the support they have given in the
publication of this volume. We, in turn, earnestly desire that every reader will
show the same generosity by boosting and patronizing these merchants.
PITTSBURGH
Our city is a mighty place.
It covers such enormous space,
It has such riches and such splendor
That it is known both near and far.
What matter if there is much smoke?
We men must take that as a joke,
For smoke means work, and work means pay
To buy our food the live-long day.
We know the smoke is golden smoke,
Formed by resources----iron and coke,
They make the precious metal steel
That gives the fame, and pride we feel.
We have our beautiful places too;
Of grand structures we have not few.
A superb museum of great renown.
And shady parks all o'er the town.
----Leon Bluestone

Where Wealth Starts
The habit of saving regularly is the foundatio of Independence. Back of every fortune, no matter how large, will be found someone who saved money. It is a fascinating habit. Ask any of the thousands to whom the FIDELITY pays four per cent on savings deposits.

Perverted Proverbs
Absence (from school) makes the heart grow fonder - of more absences.
A Freshman can ask more questions in a minute than a Senior can answer in an
hour.
An "A" on the report card is worth two in a teacher's roll book.
People who live in glass houses, should move.
Marry in haste; divorce in leisure.
Too many teachers spoil the pupils.
You can lead a Freshie to books, but you can't make him study.
I can more easily enjoy ten jokesters, than be one of the ten to listen to my
jokes.

WHY DOES THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?
Why does the chicken cross the road? The question
perplexed me. Why does a chicken cross the road? I don't know, I answered and
went on my way. But I couldn't get rid of that haunting question. I racked my
brain, but my brain would not be racked; it absolutely refused. Here was a
problem which only a genius could work out. I determined to get the answer.
I began to go to libraries, to look in thesauruses,
encyclopedias, almanacs, I grew thin, a haunted look came over me. At times my
hair would stand on end, then get tired and sit down. I traveled, I consulted
philosophers, theologists, metaphysicists, but all in vain. At last I came to a
remote village in the wilds of California. The people referred me to a hermit
whom they regarded as an all-knower. I came to him. Shaking with hope I asked
the question, "Why does a chicken cross the road?" He sat thinking and then he
looked at me. "My friend," he said, "you have come to the right person, I can
answer your question. A chicken crosses the road because there is chicken-feed
on the other side." So that's it!
Good people, pray, forgive us for the awful suspense we
have created, and be kind enough to extract the moral we wish to bring out:
"Never cross the road unless you want to get somewhere."

A darky was painting a steep roof when suddenly he started to slip down.
"Oh, Lawd, please save this poah soul. I ain't harmed no one."
Suddenly something happened and he stopped.
"Never mind, Lawd," he said," never mind; my pants done catched on a nail."
Little Johnny went up to his rich grandpa and eyed him curiously. Then he ran
away, but soon returned with a bucket.
"Kick this bucket, will you, grandpa," he said.
"Why," asked grandpa surprised.
"Cause, " said Johnny, "mother said that we'd get a lot of money when you kicked
the bucket."

A SOLILOQUY OF TWO PARTING SENIORS
As we, the Seniors, leave this school
With thoughts our minds are full,
Why are some of the teachers short,
And why were some poor sports?
We wonder how dear Fifth would be
If short (5 foot 2) Miss Paul would be!
And if "Doc" Bonham were not a dear
Wouldn't some of us still be here?
And pray tell us why Miss young smiles
When she many English tests compiles
And why does Mr. Wilson loudly call
When we are boisterous in the hall?
And why does Mr. Masters hate noise
When he with his chemicals toys?
And can you imagine Miss Lewis with Bobbed Hair
And miss Dickey not "fair and square?"
And why did Miss Wolf
Quiet us when we had some fun?
And if Mr. Story were not a pal
Wouldn't there still be here many a gal?
And did you ever realize what music would be
If in Fifth a Mr. Demmler there would not be?
And how could Fifth produce such scientists?
If in our school "Doc" Ogden did not exist?
And can you imagine Miss Simmens teaching sewing
And some teachers not preaching?
And why is "407" on the last floor;
And why the office on the first?
And if you put on your thinking caps
(With these questions don't bother your paps)
If like this our dear Fifth would be?
Can you imagine what you would see
We don't know what Fifth Avenue
Means to you!
But this and that and P-L-U-S
Is what she means to US.
Hymen Solomen,

You hover o'er my bedside drear,

You know my every care and ill,

Business
The modern profession to which young men and women are turning. Training in the right school is the right route. Don't guess about the school; investigate, visit, and ask questions about experience, personnel, stability, responsibility, housing, employment, environment, teachers, course content, text books, and sociability.
