' s cven teen t X Q Freshman Play Acclaimed by an audience of parents and friends as the best appearance ever made by a Freshman Class in dramatic entertainment, Mark Twain's immortal classic, HThe Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Charles George, was enacted by members of the class of '42 on their Freshman Night Program, October 25, 1938. In the course of the play, the house ascertained that Sidney, portrayed by lack Mair, was an incorrigible tattle-tale spoiled by Marion Williams as Aunt Polly. Tom Sawyer, alfable though barefoot, was played by William Rusch. He fell in love with adorable little Becky Thatcher, performed by Ann Robinson. Mrs. Harper, played by Ruth Blumhagen, her two children, Susy, portrayed by Betty Orts and Ioe by George Slater held supporting roles. Dorothy Lyne as Mary, Tom's cousin, and Dominic Bianca as the supersti- tious Negro Iim concluded the cast.

Members of the class taking part were William Vander Muelen, Mary Virginia Burns, Grace Mayers, VVilliam Kane, Virginia Phillips, Dorothy Cullis, Clare Burchett, and lean Orts. Eighteen r 5 Bai. . libel A Q l i .ca SENICR CLASS OFFICERS ALLEN McFARLAND ------ President IEAN LOCKER - - - Vice-President VVINIFRED HAYES - - Secretary ROBERT ANDERSON - - Treasurer Class History In our Freshman year, we started through Dunkirk High School, which looked to us large and foreboding at first. We then elected Allen MacFarland president, never realizing that he would retain that OH:lCC for all four years. Up until the Iunior term, the building looked immense, the subjects were difficult, and the teachers strict. We soon discovered that we were a small cozy group after all. Day after day brought us in a closer companionship with our teachers and a more revealing idea of the Ways and means of the school as a Whole. As Seniors, We were rather conceited but then We had a right to be, hadnlt We? We had almost finished four years of studying, dancing, party- ing, and sporting together. Four years of such successful accomplishments are something to be happy about and we were truly so. As, our thoughts go back on all the self-conscious mistakes made, it all seems so very quaint and humorous now. Our president, Allen McFarland, and treasurer, Robert Anderson, showed their popularity by retaining their positions for four years, and lean Locker and Wini Hayes as vice-president and secretary, held their odices for three consecutive years.

Dunkirk sent Fredonia home in a barrel this season, both in football and basketball. After twenty-five years of faithful service Mr, Frederick R. Darling has retired to a well-earned rest. A new maroon and white bus has been purchased by the Board of Education to carry the students to and from school. For the First time since the school was established, the Senior Class received their rings for Christmas. The membership of the Boys, Glee Club has leaped to the astonishing Hgure of thirty-seven members. Gertrude McNeight and Allen McFarland surpassed all other members of the class in the sale of tickets for the Senior Play. The lvy Tower Dance was the most successful in many years, making enough money to actually contribute to the support of the Ivy Tower. This year's Ivy Tower is the Hrst in the school's history to be covered in brown leather. The Citizen Staff for the first time held a banquet at which next year's members were introduced to their future positions. This year's Senior Class was the largest in the history of the school, the number being 191. The History Banquet was held at the Shorewood Country Club for the first time since the league was organized. The Senior Play more than pleased a capacity crowd when it presented its play Spring Dance, making it one of the best in history.

The theme of the story concerned the efforts of a group of New England college girls to force Sam Thatcher, Yale Senior, played by Allen McFarland, to marry vivacious Alex Benson, portrayed by Dorothy Williams. Although they sometimes used questionable methods to do this, it was accomplished and the play Hnished with the inevitable happy ending, not only for Sam and Alex, but also for their friends who played Cupid. The play was of the gay, youthful type and was most suited for high school students. The underlying current was always scintillating Wit and the production was said to be excellently cast and masterfully directed. Both Financially and from a viewpoint of dramatic ability, the play was pro- nounced a success. The cast of the play included, in order of appearance, Mildred, the house- maid, Irene Sek, Iohn Hatton, Yale student, William Myers, The Lippincot, Yale's Walking Encyclopedia, Gordon Nichols, Buck Buchanan, Princeton student, Frank Kane, Doc Boyd, Princeton student, Frank Schulenberg, Mady Platt, House Comedian, Doris Vlachos, Frences Fenn, younger house member, lean Locker, Alex Benson, Thatcherls girl, Dorothy Williams, Kate McKim, Alex's roommate, Mary Ann Feser, Walter Beckett, Professor, Everett Carlson, Sam Thatcher, Yale-man, Allen McFarland, Sally Prescott, college girl, Shirley Beebe, and Miss Ritchie, housemother, Margaret Pentecost.

The team suffered four defeats and played two games to a tie. Serious and minor injuries together with bad breaks greatly hampered the efforts of the inexperienced but fighting team throughout the season. With several lettermen returning next fall, hopes are high for a success- ful e n. if Ili ik he Maroon and White carried on a comparatively unsuccessful season th an inexperienced team. Inasmuch as all of the varsity will return next year, prospects are brighter. This year the varsity was composed of Casey, elected season captain, Catalano, Schwertfager, Rozumalski, Iusko, Erickson, Smith, Dudek, Anderson, and Knoll. Although these men gained but two victories, both over Fredonia, they were in there fighting every minute. Basketball Volleyball With two teams picked from the largest group of boys to enter interclass volleyball, Dunkirk was proud to maintain its record by winning its tenth Chautauqua County Volleyball Championship, April 1. Sixteen teams from the county entered the tournament, and after a series of elimination games, Dunkirk and Bemus Point met in the Final playoff game and Dunkirk Won in straight sets. At no time during the tournament, did any team gain more than live points against the Maroon and White. Accounting for the team,s points were the kills of Knoll, Ranney, Casey, Repert, Schwertfager, and Wolfe, the spikers of the two teams. Anderson, Wilson, Catalano, Erickson, Iusko, and Rozumalski Were also of great value as setters. The team proved itself very efhcient on both defensive and offensive playing, with every player picking up difficult kills. C. Iusko, R. Anrlerson, W. W'ilson, A. Casey, I, Catalano, VV, E'ick, D.

Schwertfagur, Coach Aey i Seventy-two Track The greatest number of boys in the history of the school turned out for track under the supervision of Coach Aey this spring. At press time, how- ever, the ninety some men who answered the call, had not taken part in any competitive activity. The teams consist of but four lettermen: Comello, at the high jump, Madigan running the mile, Schulenberg the half mile, with Repert tossing the shot and discus.' Other members of the track team expected to come through with a good showing are E. and H. Wolfe and A. Straight in the sprints, H. Clifford in the quarter mile, and I. Schwertfager and W. Erickson in the hurdles. At the present time, the pole vault and broad jump are still open. The schedule includes meets with the Erie team, a meet at Lockport, and the District and County meets.

V- XX Mfr. 1 :ef x az : Junior Girls' Basketball Champions Defeating all their opponents for the championship by a margin of at least twenty points, the Iunior Girls' Basketball team Won the interclass championship, March 1939. The Iuniors, champions last year as Sophomores, defeated the Freshmen 40 to 3. They took the Sophomores into camp by a score of 46 to 5. In the final play-offs against the Senior Class team, the Iuniors under the leadership of Betty Mancuso, smashed their way to victory 31 to 9. The team's ,most difhcult opponents were the P. Gfs who were made up of three P. Gfs, two seniors and Miss Florence Erickson, physical instructor. The Iunior team fought a courageous battle and finally won the game with a score of 14 to 10. Next year as seasoned veterans, the Iunior Class intends to win the championship, making the number three consecutive years of straight wins. D. Szopinski, D. Rich, B. Mancuso, M. Polowy, M.

VVhen this edifice burned in 1924, a new, modern hall was erected, in which a great capacity of business is being carried on today. The FIRST SCHOOL of red brick was erected in Dunkirk May 10, 1879 for 33,000 by Scott. In 1890 the ground of our present school site was drained and a larger structure was erected to accomo- date more students. The present red brick building was built in 1896, and the new wing was added in 1928. The HOSPITAL became an oFF1cia1 part of Dunkirk when Mr. and Mrs, Horatio Brooks pre- sented their family residence to th-e city in 1899. ln Iuly 1399 the hospital was duly incorporated, subject to state regulation. In March 1899 the First patient was received and promptly recovered, contrary to public opinion. The LIBRARY was erected in 1904 as a result of Andrew Carnegiels generosity. This was not the First attempt for a public library, however. In 1872 a Dunkirk Library Association was formed for the purpose. As a result of the panic of 1873, it was left until 1904 to be actually realized. The BEACH was graduated from the rocky cliffs along Point Gratiot, to the sandy stretch of land at approximately the same location. Another greatly inhabited strip of sand beach is found at Harrysbourg. The WATERFRONT of Dunkirk came into its own in 1810 when Samuel Perry brought the first vessel into the harbor then called Chadwickls Bay. Slowly commerce increased, wharves were built, and with the extension of the Erie Railroad, lake traffic boomed. However, railroad competition has caused the freight traffic to decline.
