ARUNDEL Assistant Principal In token of the esteem in which he is held by the student body of East Night High School, this book is most respectfully dedicated. Preface N undertaking the work of x preparing the 1917 ROSTRUM, we were not unaware of the high degree of excellence at- tained by our predecessors in previous years. We began the year with the ambition to maintain the. honor of East Night High and. if possible, to contribute to her glories. This book is the result of our endeavors to chronicle the events of a most interesting and happy period of our lives. We are not unconscious of the imimrtant part which our principal and teachers played in bring- ing about this joyful result and we are deeply grateful to all who aided in making possible our pursuit of knowledge at old East Night High. h5e CHOOL 8 EAST NIGHT HIGH ALBERT SCHWARTZ Prime 1' 11 a1 Greetings to the Class of 1917 The splendid spirit that you have shown, the time and energy that you have expended, night after night, through all these four long years, in order to reach the goal of graduation, proves again that 110 plan of the Board 'of Education deserves greater encouragement and commenda- tion than that Which is worked out in the evening schools. Because of the quality of your courage, your perseverance, your sacrifices, in attaining your ambition in these schools, you have laid a fine foundation for becoming intelligent, efficient and happy members of society. Therefore I feel great pleasure and honor in being allowed to congratulate you on what you have accomplished, and to wish you the possi- bility of the further cultivation of just such traits; traits that develop characters whose great- est joy is in the dedication of those talents to the highest service to the community to which you may belong. Sincerely yours, ANNA E. LOGAN, Assistant Superintendent of Schools. g.I 70L AOL 76L IQI ALBERT SCHWARTZ, Principai JOHN ABUNDEL E. F. ALEXANDER W. H. ALTAMER E. C. AULICK J. W.

Fledderman CHESTER H. DISQUE Class President, Art Editor, Rostrum, Encos Chet has not quit smiling since he has joined us. Full of energy and with a heart overflowing with kind- ness, he has led us through a year of continuous, pleas- ure as our Class President. His artistic contributions to the ANNUAL-in connection with the Art Staff will long he remembered, and the school extends its heartiest wishes for such success in the University as he has attained with us. F RANGES S. BRAC KETT Clues Vicc-President, Annual Staff, Progressive Club If we only had a few more young ladies like Frances, what a different world this would be! Her grades are always among the highest. She is pretty, refined and quietly humorous. If some one should ever ask us for the iIdeal Girl? we should certainly refer that person to Frances. The A grade showed its appreciation of Frances by electing her to the oiiice of Vice-President. MARIE BURBIGE Class Secretary, Septendem Club, 0. I. T. Marie is an excellent scholar, especially in Snanish. In addition to maintaining a high average in her regular academic studies, she has distinguished ability in the culinary artsP This, added to her beautiful character and kind disposition, should prove a big asset to Marie aS'queen of a happy home in future days. JERRY P. KUYPER Class Treasurer, iEncos Secretary, Dramatic Club Q. I. T., Minstrel Show Secretary The spirit of ambition rushes through his very veinswhe loves to aspire to the highest. He desires most of all to make friends. in which art he has at- tained great results. When Paco is around everybody is happy. lVe wish you all the success possible. ttPocofl and we do not doubt that success will be yours. hjgh LILLIAN BAUER Septendem Club Lillian is one of our best looking girls, and during her four- years at East Night endeared herself tp all who were fortunate enough to become well acquamted with her. We areisorry we did not all have the chance. She leaves us with our best wishes for her future success. SAMUEL BAUMRIN G December Dance Committee, Oratorical Contest Sam came to us from KVest Night. He was com- pelled to leave day school very early in life to help keep the proverbial wolf away. East Night is proud of boys like Sam. He has been an excellent student, espe- cially in languages. His proficiency in Spanish earned him the sobriquet 0f iiSenor Don Samuel. He is ambi- tions to attenq the University, where we wish him much success. EDlVIN BERGELT Room Executive, Progressive Club, German Club llEddiei' has been With us only two years, having spent his Freshman and Sophomore years at VVood- ward. Diligence and zeal, good fellowship and friend- liness are his strong qualities. These enabled him to achieve a high standard in all his subjects and to be proclaimed a jolly fellow by his classmates. Ed plans to devote himself to the gtudy of medicine. CARL J. BEST Encos Club .Carl has earned the distinction of being one of the quxetest boys in our class, but in spite of his retiring manneris, he has gained a host of friends. His records In all 1115 studies have been excellent. ngnn. LENA BLAIR Miss Blair came to us for the Senior year, having attended the high schools of Newport the three pre- ceding years.. There she attained splendid grades, whlch she mainlained during her year at East Night. We smeerely regret having been deprived of her pleas- ant company during the other three years. ROBERT BLISS Encos, President L. C. E. 1916-17, Room Executive Joyi, came into our midst in the Fall of 1915, hav- ing previously attended 0. M. I. The I... C. E. has been greatly benefited by his vigorous work. While he has not revealed to us any of his future plans, we are sure he will be successful in whatever he undertakes. LEAH BOYD Sepiendem Club, December Dance Committee, L. C. E. Club Leah has attended East Night two years, having pre- viously attended W'oodward High School. Some day in the not very distant future, we expect to read in the papers of a famous classical dancer and to recall our former East Night acquaintance. Even after reach- ing the height of her ambition, Leah will never forget her old school friends. She has a host of them. We might add that in order to attend our school she has traveled to and from California, Ohio, each night. iiNuf ced. CHARLES E. BRODBECK Sepfcndcm Club, Encos Charlie possesses one of those pleasing personalities for which the students of East Night have become famous. Besides being a faithful and conscientious student, it is understood that Charlie is somewhat of an athlete. hglh JULIA E. BUCHNER Septendem Club Juliais four years at East Night were marked by faithful attendance. She is a very qulet young lady and we have not all been able to make her acqualnt- ance. We feel assured, however, that Whatever course she follows in the future, she will be successful. WILLIAM C. BUSCH Track Team, Encos, Dramatic Club, Forum Debating Club, Q. I. T. Bill has attended East Night for the past five years, during which time he has created quite a name for himself as an industrious and energetic student. He intends to continue his studies at Law School and is get- ting practical experience in this line at the present time in the service of one of Cincinnatiis leading iudges. We hope to hear some day of llJudge Busch. JAMES CARMICHAEL Seplendem Club, Encos, April Dance Committee ttJim has been with us since the beginning. Al- though small in stature, he is large in heart and mind. He is a very quiet young chap, who devotes the greater part of his time to his work. We are pleased to note that he will return to East Night next year to take up the commercial course. ABRAHAM COHEN Abe spent his first and part of his second year at Woodward. This industrious and enthusiastic youth deserves our special praise, for he both toiled and at- tended School at night. Abe never hesitates to ask a question and is always ready to answer. He intends to take up some professional course. eggs MARGUERITE CONDON L. C. E. Club, December Dance Committee Having done her best she allows nothing to worry her. A part of that best is that she has attended E. N. H. S. for four years without missing a night, and Peas- lee School the two years prior to that with only one mghtts absence, working faithfully all the while. After inch 3 record as that, East Night can hardly give er up. ROBERT L. CREEK Encos, L. C. E. Club Bob came to us from the Norwood High School, and he certainly was a welcome addition to East Night. Bob is contemplating taking up the study of law. From the arguments we have heard him make in Mr. Gamest class in the defense of Norwood, we feel positive that should he enter this profession he would make a de- cided success of it. JOSEPH K. CRUTE April Dance Committee Joseph is modest and seldom speaks of himself, leav- ing his friends to find out his good qualities for them- seres, and to think the more highly of him for not lauding his own merits. He intends to return to East Night next fall to take up a commercial course. We wish for him unlimited success. DAISY DAUGHERTY Pin Committee, Rostrum Staff Daisy has attended E. N. H. S. two years. She has been one of our best students, carefully noting all that is said in the class room. Daisy also attends the cook- ing class and we are told that the cakes and pies she ha-kes are delicious. Her ambition is displayed by the fact that she has spent many a wearisome hour travel- ing to and from California to gain knowledge. -23h EDWARD DOYLE Encos, Q. 1. T. Edward has been with us for three years, having taken his Freshman year at St. Xavierts College. He applied himself so diligently and studiously that we seldom heard from him except in recitations. .H.0.W- ever, he showed a willingness to join in all actlvmes which were for the good of the school. For sqch men as Edward the world holds unlimited opportunities. EDITH EDRICH Septendem Club, Art Staff Edith came to us in her Junior year, after taking her first year at Hughes and her second at XVoodward. Al- though somewhat reserved, she has always been ready to offer a helping hand when interests of the class were at stake. Her work on the Art StaH' is worthy of note and shows she is apt in many directions. ESTELLE FELL Pin Committee, Q. I. T. Estelle has made a great name for herself as a stu- dent. Her thijee years in the commercial academic department have been Characterized by good grades secured by earnest application. She is very unseliish with her knowledge, always ready to help a friend in need. KVhatever her future activities may be, we have no doubt of her success. MORRIS C. FERSHTMAX Progressive Club Morris is truly 'not the lastn in his class. especially in Latin. As a recent immigrant from Russia, he knows well the value of education. Morris therefore foresook his material interests for the sake of graduating from E. N. H. S. We are proud of having him in our class and wish him good luck in all that he may undertake. -24- NEAL L. FESSENDEN December Dance Commitlce Little did we think that night two years ago when Neal decided to join East Night, how much joy he was to add to our school life. Although he always applied himself very earnestly to his studies, especially mathe- matics, he was never too busy to offer a helping hand, or a kindly word, to a struggling brother-or sister. XVe hope his career as an electrical engineer will prove successful. hVILLIAM FLEDDERMAN April Dance Committee, L. C. E., Encos After spending the first two years at Woodward and Vl'est Night High, William came 10 East Night and has shown his ability to learn his lessons and still have lime for the social events of the school, as his record shows. He.expects to continue school work, probably at U. C., and he carries our heartiest good wishes for his future. MINNIE FOEHR L. C. E. Club Shels quiet, but we like her. Her inclinalion to silence is not due to inability to talk intelligently, but she evidently believes that she can learn more by listening to what others say. A pleasant smile atones for a vast amount of silence, and Minnie certainly has the smile. She intends to take a special course in Span- ish when she completes the regular course. MICHAEL FOLZENLOGEN Encos, Scptendem Club Michael is little, but he is a hard worker in his studies! Not satisfied with only the general course, he also studies chemistry, which further proves his ambih tion. XVe wish him success at U. C. next year and know he will attain it. -25.. ARTHIIH FRATZ F ootball T eam, Track Team Arthur entered East Night High two years ago, hav- ing spent his first two years at St. Xavieris College. He is attending the College of Pharmacy during the day time and, with night school work, has a good deal to do. His abilities, however, have mastered all dimcul- ties, as is shown by the high grades he has attained in his studies. He will probably go to U. C. next year. FRIEDA FREUND Septendem Club, Progressive Club, Q. I. T. Frieda deserves a great deal of credit for the re- markable showing she has made during her attendance at East Night, having completed the commercial and academic courses in four years. She expects to go to U. C. next year, and if success is the reward of earnest effort, we predict for her a brilliant future. JOHN FULLMER Encos, Pin Commitlee John is as quiet as the proverbial mouse, but he doesnit get into quite as much mischief as that little animal. His quietness has been extremely unfortunate for Johnts classmates, as one has to know John to ap- preciate him. HERMAN DEWEY GAMBS Herinan modestly admits that during his career at East Night he has made hordes of friends, and that every gne of them is very solicitous about his future. As he 15 a namesake of that illustrious hero, Admiral Dewey, we naturally expect great things from him in the future. hm;- ALPHONSE GARTNER L. C. E. Club During his attendance at East Night this young man has woh many friends by his gentlemanly manner and congeniality. He expects to continue his studies at C. next year, and we are sure he will be a credit to our school. HARRY GEBT Vice-President Encos, L. C. E. Club, December Dance Committee, Minstrel Committee What, music in the air? Oh, no; Harry is just humming a liltle tune, but, somehow, we have become so attached to him on account of his many pleasing ways that we have. cultivated our ears to the apprecia- tion of his voice. The many friends that he has made during his three years at East Night will agree that he is a loyal school ttbooster? His work on the Dance Committee was surely commendable. LENA GOLDBERG Progress me Club Behold the second Sarah Bernhardt. Lena is theat- rically inclined, and. the Dramatic Club, recognizing genius when they see it, promptly admitted her into their midst. She will probably take up studies to fur- ther her talent and we are saving 0111' pennies so that we can buy tickets tat advanced pricesl when she con- descends to appear in Cincinnati. M ARTHA GRAF Martha attended the Realschule in Switzerland and then came to us to finish her high school education. She proved to be quite a valuable acquisition to the school, ranking exceptionally high in all her studies. Her pleasant ways and sweet disposition made fox her a host of friends. . ANNITA V. HARBAUGH April Dance Committee, Sepfendem Club As some one was heard to say, Anita is a iicharac- ter? Has anyone ever seen her cross or without a ready answer? They say she is rather iikeen on candy. At any rate one seldom meets hei- Without a bag or box of it. I wonder if that explains some of her sweetness? Hereis to her sure success when she leaves East Night. THOMAS J. HENNEGAN February Dance Committee, Track Team, Encos, Progressive Club, Minstrel Show Tom is one of the most popular boys of the class. Compelled to leave day school for the same reasons as most of us, he wisely came to East Night. His efforts have been amply repaid. He states he has been able to increase his earning power, besides acquiring an education. Weill always remember him as being iiOf manners gentle, of affections mild. RICHARD HOFFMAN Chairman February Dance Commitfee, Business Manager Rostrum Staff iiDickii has served his four-year term in the ranks of E. N. H. S. students both faithfully and conscien- tiously. As a Dance Committee chairman he was a huge success. His teachers will always remember him as a good student, his classmates as a splendid leader in all school activities. L'. C. will find him among her students next year. FRANK E. HOFFMEISTER Q. I. T., Rostrum Staff, Encos Frankis sojourn at East Night was marked by faith- ful. attendance, untiring effort and splendid scholar.- Shlp: As Literary Editor of the Rostrum he rendered servxce of inestimable value. That success may ever be with you is the wish of your class, Frank. n28... CLARENCE HOLOCHER Septendem Club, Minstrel Show, Encas Clarence is an enthusiastic exponent of learning for learning? sake. Unlike many students, he did not con- 51der a diploma his goal, but attended East Night incre- ly because of his love for learning. LUCILLE HOPKINS She is just a quiet sort of a girl and very sweet. Coming to us from YValnut Hills High in September, she has for the past year been an unassuming but mighty faithful pupil. Her cheery manner gained her friends from the first. KVe are sure all who made her acquaint- ance have been fortunate. May success crown her strivings. CHARLES H. HUCKE President Progressive Club, German Club, Encos, December Dance Committee, Boat Ride Committee Charlie'i has well earned his popularity at E. N. H. S. His loyalty to the school, his participation in all school activities, his genius as an organizer and leader, his progressive spirit have caueed him to be in the foremost ranks of the Class of '17. XVe trust that these merits will bring him into prominence in his future life. Charles intends to take up some professional study. CHARLOTTE HUNEKE Secretary L. C. E.C1ub Charlotte has not yet decided what to do when she leaves school, but with our knowledge of her persever- ance and previous success, we can confidently predict a useful and brilliant career for one who has been so nfaithful over a few things? h29h CHARLES ITKOFF Sepleizdcm Club, Eucos, February Dance ' Committee Those acquainted with Charlie will agree that space is too limited to describe him adequately for those un- fortunates who do not know him. In the space allotted we can merely mention the earnestness with which he carried on his studies and his sincere, open dealings with his classmates at all times. We are glad he is our own? having spent four years at East Night. ABRAHAM JACOBS Abraham did not come to us until his Junior year, having attended Woodward High School during the previous years. Abraham is regarded by his friends .as an animate encyclopedia. His stock of information is marvelous. Should you ever be in doubt Vabout'any- thing apply to Abraham and assistance will be forth- coming. ' EDNA JOLLY Well, yes, shels jolly, but that isnTtiall. Oh, no! She believes in cheerful labor, and ispreparing herself to become a primary teacher. And how could she lay a better foundation for such important work than by the faithful, earnest efforts she has been putting forth at East Night Persevering, capable, willingewhat more could we ask? FRANK OTTO KAPPEL Progressive Club, German Club, Encos Frank is a reel example of an ideal American youth. His lofty ideals of life, his knowledge of political econ- omy, and .his interest in social reforms have won for him our admiration and respect. XVe are proud of his ?eford in the field of study and wish him success in his 11 me. -- 30 - RUDOLPH H. KIENAST Sepfendem Club, Art Staff, Encos Rudolphlentered East Night in his Freshman year, having prekusly attended school in Berlin, Germany. Even though he has not told us very much about him- self, his many good qualities, nevertheless, have come to the surface. His excellent work in his studies, espe- cially Latin, is proof enough of his faithfulness there, and his art contributions for the ANNUAL indicate his loyal school spirit and his willingness to help 'tthe cause along at all times. CARL KLINGENBURG Vice-Presideizt Septendcm Club, February Dance Committee, Encos Carl has attended East Night two years, having prep viouslv studied at St. Xavieris College. itCuteylt shines most when there are a bunch of girls around him. At a certain party he had 'em all going? His popularity does not interfere with his studies, and he tells us he expects to attend night classes at the University next fall. We all wish him success. BERNARD KLUBER Humor Editor of Rostrum, President Forum Club, Dramatic Club, Debating Team, Encins A man of energy, Ben has already seen over three and one-half .yearsi service in the U. S. Navy.

He led his team to vic- tory in the midyear debate and did excellent work in the title role of the ttlonahf, He will, continue his studies to fit himself the better for the public career to Which he aspires. ELIZABETH KRUMENACKER Rostrum Staff, Progressive Club, German Club, February Dance Committee And now comes Betty, our Evening Star. Descrip- tion is inadequate, but we know she is lovable. willing and ready to help others, and capable of accomplishing whatever she undertakes. Of her it could truthfully be said, uShe has done splendid work, she has finished the course, and deserves her diploma? A fine sense of humor goes with her studiousness, and makes here delightful! H31h BERTHA KULLEB Progress 1' ve Club Bertha came to us from West Night during our Sophomore year. It is indeed a pleasure to meet some one of Miss Kullerls lofty ideals and optimistic view of life. Her ambition, which we are sure she will realize, is to become a journalist. She will attend U. C. next year. LEO H. LANGEN Progressive Club Lee does not believe in superficial knowledge; he always tries to get to the root of things. As a result, he has attained fundamental knowledge in all his studies. Being very industrious, he was able to com- plete the course within three years. We are greatly in- debted to him for his advice in all school affairs. Leels ambition is to continue the study of physics and chem- istry. J OHN WILLIAM LEDFORD Those who are fortunate to number him among their friends greatly appreciate his quiet and gentlemanly demeanor. He is a baseball player of no mean ability, filling an important position on the L. B. Harrison team. John no doubt possesses other talents and has high ambitions, but he studiously conceals them with a broad smile. GRACE LEWIS Secretary Progressive Club, German Club Grace attended Woodward for two years and then she graced East Night with her presence; She is very popular, as is evidenced by the fact that she holds the offices of Secretary and Treasurer of the Progressive Club. The pupils in the astronomy class all say nGrace when they enter the room. We wonder why Grace is studying astronomy. ttThere's a reason. hgzh FRANCIS LIEBENBOOD December Dance Committee, Scplendem Club, German Club, Encos Francis came to us in his Senior year, having for- merly attended Loveland High School. During his one year he has shown his willingness at all times to par- tielpate In school activities, besides keeping up a high standard in his class work. The winning smile of this young man has made for him many friends and we all sincerely hope that life's rough pathway will not mar h1s sunny disposition. J . THERON MCCLUBE Theron came to East Night from Vx'oodward, having spent his first two years there. Though we had the privilege of knowing him but for a short time, still we found him to be intelligent and industrious. We hope that these qualities will enable him to become a success- ful lawyer. ARTHUR J. MARTIN Septendem Club, Treasurer Encos Since 1911 Martin has been laboriously plodding away at Night School. He began with the eighth grade elementary work, completed the first year of high school, then took up law and has now completed his high school course. Yes, he did ask a great many ques- tions in class, but then he learned a great deal, too. Martin has our best wishes for a successful future. CHARLES G. MEAD Charles came to us from Norwood High School two years ago and has made an enviable record in his studies. Success must attend a young man like him in any chosen field. We do not-know your plans for the future, Charles, but we wish you luck. LA URETTA MEINEKE Septendem Club Lauretta is one of the belles of Madisonville, who won many friends by her smile and happy laugh. She has always ranked high in her studies, but has been a little lax in attendance. OVe wonder what the at- traction wasJ Listen, boys, she can cook! Her pies are veritable works of art! What more do you want? She expects to attend night classes at the Ilniversity next fall. Best wishes for continued success. HARRY J. MEYERS Encos, Boat Ride Committee Harry is a decidedly ambitious fellow. After com- pleting the commercial course, he took up the commer- cial academic course, which he faithfully and satisfac- torily completed. Besides attending school on the four regular nights this year, Harry has taken chemistry on Friday evenings as a preliminary preparation for the study of medicine. JOHN MOESTA Room Executive For the past two years John has been one of our tlhustlers. He came from Woodward in 1915 and got right to work for East Night. Because of his interest and pep he has been made one of the class executives. When he leaves East Night he will attend U. C., where he will take up the study of law. LUCILLE MOORE Rostrum Staff A cheerful disposition and a sunny smile are Lucille's prominent attributes. She has only attended night school during her Senior year, but we have learned to know her as a jolly, good-natured classmate. Her work in English is especially commendable and no doubt accounts for the fact that she was chosen as 011;? 0f the Rostrum staff. May success crown her e orts. -34.. ADA MUELLER Septendem Club, Q. I. T. Winsome Ada, with her ready smile and pleasant greetings, has caused many to fall victims to her charms. Ada is always in for a good time, but never shlrlcs her studies, as is shown by the excellent grades attained by her in all of her subjects. Her conscien- tious work as a student assures us that she will be a credit to her class and school. EDWARD J. MULLANEY Room Executive After two years of commercial work at East Night, Edward joined our academic class in the Junior year, having had two years at Woodward. His virtues are too numerous to mention here, his faultsewe canit think of one. As a student he ranks high, his work in German being especially creditable, and if you have ever seen him dance, you will realize that his ability runs in various directions. ELMER J . MURRAY Encos For the past four years Elmer has been a faithful student at East Night. His commendable grades show his interest in his studies. He is especially active in the civics class. Law is Elmerls aim, and we predict a successful career for him. CLARA NADEL Vice-Presidcnt Progressive Club, President German Club, Septendcm Club We take great pleasure in presenting to you Frau- lein Nadel, President of the German Club. Next year she will study domestic science at U. C. She says she wants to become a domestic science teacher, so, of course, we will take her word for it; but we calft help thinking that this ttscienceii always comes in handy, especially when a girl is as attractive as Clara. MARIE NEAGLE Dramatic Club Marie might appropriately be called ttthe girl with the eyes. She just cant make them behavehalthough she tries and tries. She is so serene and smlhng that there is a responsive smile on every face as she passes. MARIE NIEHAUS L. C. E. Club, Septendem Club, December Dance Committee Marie has attended our school for four years and in that time her sunny disposition has won for her a host of friends. Her bright and winning ways have made her one of the most popular girls at East Night. We all hope that her future will contain as much sunshine and happiness as her past. ROBERT E. OSTENDORP Encos Robert is one of the faithful. For four long years he has been pursuing his studies at East Night. He has proven himself an earnest, interested student. He is a jolly, good comrade and has surely done his part in the work of the school. JACOB PATRUKOF Septendem Club, February Dance Committee If Maddylsl, perseverance in seeking all the other goals of life equals his persistence in attending school regularly, we are sure that ,his future career will be marked with success. He comes from Hamilton daily to be with us. As to his popularity, just attend a dance and everywhere you hear the voices calling Maddy. ewe EVA PILDERWASSER German Club, Room Executive, Progressive Club, Septendem Club Eva is one of those quiet, gentle people who, like the sunshine in spring, give you an indefinable feeling of peace. She is everybodyis friend. Her quietness isnit due to lack of an opinion, or will power. The members of the Progressive Club will never f orget how she expressed herself in debate and discussion, e. 9., til believe women should be allowed to vote? HENRY A. PILLEN Athletic Editor of Rostrum, Dramatic Club, Encos, Septendem Club, Q. I. T., February Dance Committee, Boat Ride Committee ttSure some busy man, but he couldnit help it; he was so saturated with the spirit of East Night. Before joining our ranks he studied at St. Xaviefs, Ohio Me- chanics and one of the local busineSS colleges. Henry was very popular, especially with the girls, but that didn't spoil him. He ranked high in his studies and for two years his attendance was perfect. IRMA POETKER Irma, with her rosy cheeks, came to us from Wood- ward in September, 1916. With her jolly laugh and friendly manner she has been a welcome comrade. She has done her part in making all occasions festive. Whatever her ambition in life may be, she will surely attain it, for she is noted for her stick-to-itiveness. BLANCHE POLLAK Although quiet and unassuming, this young lady is' an earnest and sincere worker. She has not taken an active part in class affairs. but has shown her loyalty by her regular attendance at school. We are not able to tell what her plans are for the future, but we are sure she intends to go on with her education. -37h SARAH POSNER Sarah has been with us for three years and has made the evening, no matter how gloomy ontstde, plea;- ant with her cheery smile. She has been faithful-m attendance and persevering in her efforts, and we Wlsh for her every success. JESSE lY. POTTER Seplendcm Club, December Dance Committee, Encos During the four years that Jesse has attended our school he has gone on in his quiet, unassuming way, mastering his lessons. As we all admire the trait of faithfulness, we must show our admiration for Jesse, as his attendance during the four years has been ex- ceptionally fine. He has missed only one night. We wish him success as he continues his studies next year at East Night and then at U. C. ALICE E. PURCELL Social Editor of Rostrum, Class Essayist, President Dramatic Club, December Dance Committee, Septendem Club, Q. I. T. Optimistic Alice surely was a busy girl during her Senior year. By her unlimited patience and persistence she knocked down all the barriers which confronted her and concluded her work at East Night with a record of which she may feel justly proud and to which she may look back with satisfaction in future years. Having completed the stenography, bookkeeping and academic courses in six years, Alice will, next year, board the train for U. C. NANCY J. PURSELL L. C. E. Club, Septendem Club, February Dance Committee ttNance has spent four years with us. Until a few months ago she had to travel to and from California, Ohlo; 1n order to attend school. She is gifted with a sweet soprano voice, and expects to continue her vocal studies next fall. It is said a certain football player on Inn East Night team of some years ago has captured our fair lady's heart. We wish her happiness. h38h EDWARD RASCHE A Grade Boysi Club, Q. I. T. He has been attending E. N. H. S. for five years, so we hardly need to introduce him. He is very studious, but never too engrossed in his books to give a cheery greeting to each of his friends as they enter the class- room. Maybe he will be a lawyer, but he isnit sure. CLARA REYNOLDS Q. I. T. Everyone knows Clara as one of the sweetest girls at East Night. She always has a smile for everyone, and her modest, quiet ways have won the favor of her classmates. SOL RICHMOND This busy individual hails from Russia, but is a true lover of America. He came to our country four years ago and in that time has done some remarkable work. As an astronomer he is unequalled. We have never been able to determine just why he takes such interest in the subject. We extend to him our best wishes for a bright and successful future. FRANK RISSOVER Frank is very ambitious and is always busy, making extra credits. He does not hesitate to make himself heard in the class. We believe that his fine character will find him as many friends in the future as it has.in the past. ..39n SAMUEL ROTTER In the class room he compels attention by his elo- quence. He sees humor readily, probably because .he himself is humorous. However, if one is not famllier with him, his jokes must be explained becausepf their depth. Judging from the knowledge of law displayed by him in the civics class. we have no doubt of hls future success as a lawyer. SAM RUKIN Business Manager of Rostrum, German Club, Septendem Club, Dramatic Club, Oratorical Contest, Football Team, Encos, Minstrel Show The noblest Roman of them all. The English lan- guage gets in our way as we try to describe Sam. It is no exaggeration to say that we have often held our breath in wonder at some of his fine recitations in Class. He surely carried on his work as Business Manager of the Rostrum in an admirable manner. Not to mention Sam's Wit would be an injustice. His humorous sayings will remain in the memory of all who knew him. ESTHER RUTHS April Dance Committee, Q. I. T., Essay Contest, Room Executive, Septendem Club To describe Esther, one need only to say, ttmodest, simple and sweet, with the ability to keep her sunny disposition unrullled? Esther is one of our shining lights. She was appointed Executive for Room 75 and fulfilled her duties to perfection. East Night and the Class of 1917 are proud of Esther and extend their best wishes for her future happiness. WALTER SAGMASTER L. C. E. Club, Encos Walter has spent four years at East Night, and we are proud to number him among our' classmates. We have observed that he is particularly fond of music. We have not been informed as to his plans for the future, but we are a unit in wishing him unbounded success in whatever he may attempt. h40h CHARLES J. SANDS Chairman April Dance Committee, Encos, Q. I. T. Charles is one of our industrious chaps and his sterling qualities beam out radiantly from his affable countenance. In his studies, HMueho was always among the first and was ever ready to put his shoulder to the wheel when necessity called. His work on all occasions, especially as chairman of the April Dance Committee, was done with a will and determination. ESTHER SCHEAR Progressive Club, German Club, Septendem Club. Room Executive Esther is one of our pretty ttfashion plates? Her clothes are the secret envy of all the girls. We have a sneaking suspicion that when she doesn,t know what Herr Schrader is talking about she is planning a new dress or hat. This probably explains why she will study domestic science next year. MATTHEW SCHEINHOF April Dance Committee, Encos Close application seems to be his motto, and the results show in his nightly recitations. Virgil has few terrors for him East Night has been blessed by his presence for four years, and he has been kept so busy that he has not yet decided on his future career, bute wetll hear from him, and hope it will be soon. JOE SCHLARMAN February Dance Committee During his four years of school Joe has established himself as a true friend and an earnest scholar. He has recently joined the marital ranks and- is happy indeed. Good luck, Joe! e41; RUTH SCHLOSS Septendem Club Chatter, chatter, chatter. Thatts Ruth again. Al- though this talkative maiden spent three years at Woodward and did not join us until her Senior year, she is by no means a strangenin our midst. Does Ruth ever become serious?I Oh, yes; we overheard that her cherished ambition is to become a missionary. We hope she will realize her ambition. ARMIN V. SCHMAL L. C. E. Club, Septendem Club, Cheer Leader, Encos, February Dance Committee, Track Team, Boat Ride Committee, Dramatic Club Armin,s sunny disposition and pleasant smile have won for him many friends during his four years at East Night. He is a very enthusiastic chap, as was shown by his excellent cheer-leading at the football games. He has always taken an active part in athletics, having been on the East Night track team for the past three years. Next year we shall greet him at University. WALTER SCHMOLL Walter has been with us since the beginning. His standards of work during his four years at East Night were always very high. After graduation he intends to take up a course in pharmacy. Dr. Schmol, in the future, if you please. WILLIAM NOALES SCHNEIDER Septendem Club, Encos, Pin Committee Noales is one of the most earnest members of the 1917 class. He came to East Night in February, 1916, from the high school at Williamsburg, Ohio. His grades show evidence of great ability. He has practical ideas, too, and in a few years we expect to be riding on rail- road trains protected by the Schneider safety device. u42e WILLIAM J. SCHRIMPF Editor-in-Chief of Rostrum, President Septcndem Club, Encos, Class Orator Will is able, affable and ambitious, one of uOld Eastis leaders. The school never turned out a better student. .His classmates will long remember him as tta soul as full of worth as void of pride. These pages are evidence of his ability as Editor-in-Chief. He hasn? formulated his next yearys plans, but we feel that whatever he may undertake will reflect credit upon himself and ttOld East? EDWARD SCHROOT Edward is a serene,unassuming and gentlemanly fel- low. No one appreciates his gentlemanly characteris- tics more than do the students at East Night. There is only one thing that we have been able to discover that disturbs Edwardts serenity and that is to be asked to translate ttWilhelm Tell? Notwithstanding this fact, his fellow members of the German class are some- what envious of his linguistic attainments. SAMUEL W. SCHVVABTZ Track Team Coach, Encos. Q. I. T., December Dance Committee, Septendem Club Samts open-hearted and generous ways have won him many friends throughout the school. He has a pleasing, optimistic disposition which shows itself readily in wit and good humor. We can well be proud of Sam as one of the best athletes in the city. He has been a hard-working student throughout his career here at school. Keep it up, Sam, and your success is assured. MEYER F. SIMKINS Progressive Club, German Club, Forum Debating Club Simkins was our ttclass philosopher. We have al- ways been glad to learn his views, though they were radical. Simkins has striven hard and has honestly earned the harvest,e his diploma and our friendship. He has been a booster of E. N. H. S. His enthusiasm and willingness to do his bit for the common good has convinced us that egoism is foreign to his character. H43 MEYER SLUTSKY Dramatic Club, Encos, Seplena'em Club, April Dance Committee Meyer left Russia four years ago. He certainly real- ized that the United States is the land of opportunity. Meyefs efforts were not in vain. He is greatly interi ested in music, art and literature and also possesses considerable dramatic ability. We believe that the tree has been transplanted in fertile soil and will yield good fIC'luit. Meyeris aim is to study for the sake of knowl- e ge. ALMA SPELBRINK Septendem Club, Progressive Club, German Club, Rostrum Staff, Girls' Cheer Leader, Chairman December Dance Committee Alma is a iilive wire.', The enthusiasm she dis- played in all the school activities is proof enough, but this is not the only reason she is entitled to the above appellation. During her four years at East Night she has maintained a high standard in all her classes, her work in mathematics being especially worthy of com- mendation. This active worker surely deserves the crown of success. EUGENE STARK Eugene came to us in his Sophomore year, after tak- ing his first year at St. Xavier. He is a very quiet young man, and also one of the handsomest in the class. He has not disclosed his plans for the future, but Whatever they be, we all unite in wishing him success. J EANNETTE STRIKER Rostrum Staff, February Dance Committee, Septendem Club We never saw Jean when she wasn't chattering mer- rily. She is very popular among her classmates, and makes it a point to attend all the dances and social affairs given by the school. She expects to go to U. C. next year, and our hearty good wishes go with her. h44h. HERBERT L. STRUBE Herbertls youthfulness does not interfere with his studies; in fact, it seems to be a decided advantage. His exact answers hear testimony to this. He is one of the most brilliant students of East Night. Herbert is greatly interested in all branches of science. ALAN R. STUNTZ Septendem Club There is nothing wrong with friend Alan when it comes to night school. He knows how to get the most out of anything, and his course at the 0. M. I. next year will bear witness to his ability. NELLIE E. SULLIVAN Secretary Septendem Club, Rostrum Staff, Progressive Club, German Club, April Dance Committee Woodwardis loss is East Night's gain, as Nellie, dur- ing her two years with us, has been an active member of our class. Her translations in German were the envy of the whole class. Her work in English is also worthy of commendation. We have not been able to ascertain her future course, but feel assured that she will win success. MARY TASKE February Dance Committee Mary is a very quiet young lady, whom one never sees outside the classroom. During her four years at East Night she has always attained high marks in all her studies. We have not been able to ascertain her plans for the future, but feel assured that she will give a good account of herself. nigh LOUIS W. TENNER April Dance Committee, Q. I. T. Our acquaintance with this young man has taught us to always expect a friendly greeting and a smile Whenever we meet him, and it is surely a pleasure to know him. His grades indicate that he has taken a deep iritia'rest in his studies and that he possesses great ability. We predict a bright future for him. MARIE UCHTMAN Septendem Club, Progressive Club, German Club, April Dance Committee Marie has graced our school for four years, having begun in the Freshman class. In vain we have sought for a word to iittingly describe this maiden, some word that will denote sweetness, amiability and sincerity combined. To all who knew her, Marie will be a pleas- ant memory in the years to con1e,ewhen East Night times are called to mind. iVlLLIAM VORDENBORG William is a quiet, industrious chap, who has little to say, but Who is always doing his share of thinking. He came to us in his Junior year, having taken his first two years at West Night. He is considered one of the best scholars in the class, and will attend University next year. May success attend him. FRED WEICK Encos, Track Team, Football Team, Pin Committee Fred has been nin the runninglt for three years, has carried off honors as a member of the track team, and at the same time has been diligently preparing himself for a future in which there will be more important things than even athletic events. If he maintains the same steadfastness of purpose he cannot fail in his future career. ....46: GEORGE VVERMES Septendem Club, Encos, April Dance Committee Everybody knows brother George! His congenial ways have won the approval of all the boys, but his popularity among the fair sex, we believe, is due to his unfailing courtesy at all times Brother George is the sgrt 0:1 fellow one likes to shake hands with and call IS rien I ELSIE WETTLIN Septendem Club, December Dance Committee Elsie devotes most of her time to her studies, as her high marks during her four years will indicate. She is held in high esteem by all her classmates, who will remember her when East Night days are a memory. We have all felt her good influence, and the future home over which it will be extended will surely be blest. F RANK W'ETZEL Frank is one of those individuals that one likes to meet after a day of strenuous work. It certainly is soothing and refreshing to have the pleasure of asso- ciating with this mild-mannered and smiling young man. RUSSELL E. WHITE Progressive Club, Encos, Septendem Club, Minstrel Show, Track Team, February Dance Committee Russell came to us from West Night, thereby bring- ing to our midst a valuable man for the track team. He tells us that he left day school for the reason that an unusual opportunity presented itself and that he has been successful. He is ambitious to be an electrical engineer, and expects to enter U. C. in the near future. May he make as many friends there as he did at Old Eastf' FREDA WIEBE Septendem Club, December Dance Committee Freda has been with us for four years: . She is a very quiet young lady, and her sweet diqus1t10n Ixiarks her as a girl whose friendship is to be highly prized. We are sorry we all did not have the chance to become thoroughly acquainted with her. May her future life hold all that is good. DENA WILANSKY Progressive Club, Essay Contest West Night lost another of its jewels when Dena came to us in our second year. There is never a sub- ject brought up for discussion but Dena has a decided opinion on it, and her aptitude in expressing herself is the envy of the class. In the Spanish class it is also difiicult to find her equal. . CLARENCE WILMINK Annual Staff That tta sound body has a sound mindi, is true of Clarence. Though he resides at a distant suburb and his work has often kept him away from school, Clar- ence, nevertheless, has always been able to maintain a high standard in ,all his subjects. We do not doubt that his perseverance will also help him in his future studies. Clarence intends to take up civil engineering and we predict for him a brilliant career. JOSEPH WOESTE Treasurer Septendem Club, Room Executive, Encos We suppose you have often noticed this handsome young man in the halls and wondered who he was. If you haventt had the opportunity to become acquaint- ed with him, you have missed a pleasure, for- Joe cer- tainly is a favorite with all who know him. Did you ever see him collect dues for the Septendem Club? We believe he would make a most successful tax-gatherer. h48hs. FLORENCE WOLF April Dance Committee All hail the Belle of Kentucky. She is in all proba- bility the post popular young lady in the school. All of us like her because she is always laughing and full of fun. The boys simply can't resist her smiles and laughter. HARLEY YOUNG Minstrel Show, Football Team, Encos, Septendem Club Harley joined us in his Senior year, having previous- ly attended West Night. His congenial disposition and good looks have captivated the hearts of our fair damn sels. Harley took a leading part in all of the school activities and was a star on our football team. Colum- bia University is the' goal for which he is striving. There he will pursue studies leading to the medical pro- fession. L. E. YOUNG Chairman Boat Ride Committee, Sepfendem Club, President Encos, Business Manager Minstrel Show Lawrence has been a booster for two years, coming from West Night, where he made things Hhum. We can assure you he has not been deficient here, as 13 'shown by his election as President of the Encos, and -by his excellent work in all his studies, especially chemistry. He tells us he is going to U. C. next year. PAUL A. ZAEH Encos Paul is credited with being a good student and quite a favorite with many of the girls. We know, because he has been with us for four years. The girls seem to realize that most iigood things come in small packages. We donit know PauPs intentions for the future, but we wish him well in whatever he undertakes. h49-e SARAH M. ZELIGS Progressive Club, German Club, April Dance Committee How fortunate it was that West Night changed Its location in 191-1! Buttfor that change, we should prob- ably never have known Sarah. She may be. small, but she certainly has the capacity for a551mllatlng lmowl- edge wholesale. We wonder where she found time to read all the books she evidently has read. Sgrah W111 continue her studies in the night classes of U. C. next year. STANLEY ZIELINSKI Scplendem Club, Encos, . February Dance Committee Stanley has been a student at East Night for seven years, taking one year of mechanical drawing, two years of pattern making, and four years of academm work. He has always taken an active part in all school events, especially the dances. In the terpsichorean. art he excels, as none of the modern steps are too difficult ,for his nimble feet. East Night claims him for another year in the commercial course. ELI ZUCKERMAN Progressive Club, German Club, Forum Club Eli is certainly one 01' the most ambitious students of the Class of 17. Though he has been in this country only a short time, he succeeded in completing the course within three years. Eli has been rated'as an excellent student, especially in mathematics. He is always glad to share his knowledge with his fellow classmates. Eli will continue his studies in the field of engineering. Success to you, Eli! NEASON ZUCKERMAN Rostrum Staff, Progressive Club. Forum Debating Club, German Club East Night has many ambitious students, but few come up to Mr. Zuckerman. A clear and deep thinker, he W515 always in the front ranks. Loyal to the school and Its organizations, he could always be counted on to do, and do well, what was asked of him. Not only did Mr. Zuckerman gain the reputation of being one of the best students, but he did it while compressing four years, study into three. +50-- A Graduatefs Regrets It is with mingled joy and pain XVe say, at last, G0od-bye To friends we mfer may meet again, And to thee, dear East Night High. YVe leave thy friendly shelter now, But, ere the chance departs. W611 place the wrvuth upon thy brow - WeWe crowned thee in our hearts. Full many an evening we have come T0 quaff thy sparkling springs Of knowledge, and to carry home Xtht honest effort brings. Our Freshman you 1' we much enjoyed, The Sophomore better still; Our Junior pleasures never cloyed; XVe worked with right good will. And now thefre past, those four short years, But still thy worth wdll tell; Sweet memories almost bring the tears Dear East Night High, Farewell! Frances Bracken. 01 Class 17 01' East Night High Schoolls Masterpiece. Have you ever heard of Class '17, That entered East Night School back in ,13,r- That is, the most of us did, I meanke A self-coniident class, ltwas easily seen. But our poise was disturbed quite a little, I ween, By lessons that drove us into fits, And exams that frightened us out of our wits. Such, then, was the wonderful Class 17. Now, in entering Night School, I tell you what, You will be attacked at the weakest spot, Which spot the Seniors always know; For haventt they been there themselves? And so They tried their hardest to make us toe The mark, and train us the way we should go. lTwas very thoughtful of them, no doubt, To try thus to help us our fears to rout; But, sometimes, we Freshmen were slightly put out. At first we vowed las Freshmen dol There was nothing liclo-ablelt that we couldnit do. tlAw! thatls easylh uWho couldnlt do that? Were phrases that each of us had down pat: T tYouWe hearld many a Freshman talk through his hatl. l We since have learned we were like all the rest Who had gone before; but we never guessed It then, but cherished within our breasts The belief that of all classes we were the best. The end of our first term came and found That, despite our trials, wetd gained some ground; At any rate, when the next year came, We assured ourselves, we would play the game On the hapless Freshmen,eand we rather guessed Weld invent some new jokes to add to the rest. And so time flew. But I mustntt forget To tell you about-have I mentioned it yet?e How we valiantly slew all the dragons we met? There were Algebra, Latin, German and such; English, of course, didnlt count for much, : tWetre accustomed to murder that every dayl; Then thereis History, we had it tomebut, say! ' No doubt youhre heard of them all before, And therels really no need of my going oler Them all again, and mentioning more. So I will pass on without delay, And finish the little I have yet to say. When nineteen seventeen at last arrived, We realized that soon we would be deprived Of the social pleasures we had enjoyed, While with earnest work we had been em- ployed. The termts nearly over, -without a doubt In a few more weeks we will be turned out To boost for ourselves, and fill our places; And at all times now, unmistakable traces Of regret may be seen on all our faces. But we canlt complain; We have had our share Of the work and the fun, and itls only fair That we should, now, with best possible grace, Resign, and give Class 18 our place. Itls hard, of course, tjust try it yourselfl, To lay our beloved books on the shelf; But, no matter how far away we roam, Weill fondly remember tlthe school back home. hFrances Brackett. ..52lh T0 the Class of 1917. HE achievements of the present graduating class i of the East Night High School are so remarkable that their teachers feel that they call for a word of congratulation and commendation. The requirements for graduation from the school are more exacting than ever before. To meet these increased requirements meant numerous inconve- niences and countless sacrifices of greater or less moment, but the present Senior class made these sacrifices and met these requirements with grace and cheerfulness. No class sent forth from East Night High School has made a more enviable record in scholarship. And this is their crowning pride. Intellectual attainment has always been the aim the class put above all others. But besides maintaining a standard of scholar- ship excelled by no class passing forth from the school and being faithful in the performance of regular duties it has found time to carry on many undertakings in social and literary endeavors. It provided highly enjoyable dances and social functions; it organized able Debating and Dramatic Clubs; it conducted a highly successful boat ride; it has compiled and published a school annual of more than usual merit. In all of these things a notable spiri of unity and coaperation has been consistently manifested. This array of accomplishments would be creditable t0 the graduating class of any school. vWhen one remembers that the young people who did these things have, besides their evenings, very few leisure moments and that these were snatched from exacting hours, their efforts have a double value. Because the members of this yeafs graduating class have been earnest in their purposes, faithful in the accomplishment of prescribed tasks, loyal to their school and class. we gladly offer this appreciation of their merit.

SCHRIMPF War, Peace, and the United States ......................................... . SAM RUKIN Cincinnati and the New Charter ................................. . . .SAMI'EL BAUMBING HELD APRIL 25, AT WOODWARD AUDITOHIUM Wm: BY WILLHM J. SCHRIMPF Graduationis Inspiration HERE are times in the life of man when thoughts of the most searching, inquiring nature assume the ascendeney in his Conscious- y ness, and, if he be seriousdminded and so disposed, they may en- . gross his attentions for long periods at a time. On such occasions, h: frivolity and gayety being laid aside, he enters into the deepest and 7' innermost recesses of his mind and heart, seriously and alone. Discarding the shanis and the hypocrisy, the make-believe with which he is wont to gird himself, he endeavors to awaken his sensibilities t0 stern, actual reality, to genuine truth. l - l l To the student, graduation or commencement is one of those occasions. Graduation is an event in his life, singular and by no means unimportant. It marks the completion of the first laptin the tlight of his ambitions toward success. It is the first resting-place on his way to ultimate achievement. And Well may he stop to take account of his possessions, to examine his equipment, to search out and bring to light hidden, latent weaknesses. Well, indeed, may he ponder the questions: What have I accomplished? What am I going to do now? The graduation of the night school student is not exactly commencement. He has long ago laid aside the accoutrements 0f boyhood; years have elapsed since first he enlisted in the great army of daily workers. While at night he has been sequiring technical and theoretical training in the rudiments of the arts and sciences, studying the histories of peoples and seeking accomplishments in the foreign languages. his days have been spent in office, shop 01' factory, rubbing elbows with his fellow-workers, gaining practical experience and seeing condi- tions as they are. Every picture tells a story; and, on the serious, every story of humanity, be it one of frailty or weakness, 'one of tyranny or oppression, or, on the other hand, one of benevolence or achievement, it makes its impression. The man in the world today needs no one to tell him that there is social unrest, that there is dissatisfaction and strife not only between nations but be- tween the individuals and theclasscs of individuals that make up the nations. In this our day the reflection of Robert Burns, ttManis inhumanity to man makes countless thousands niournf is only too applicable. T here is the perpetual controversy between capital and labor. Just why a mutually satisfactory agree- ment as to what is fair and just is so difficult of attainment perhaps loses some of its puzzling character when we reflect that the tendency of men today, as in the past, all protestations to the contrary notwithstanding, is toward the epr diency that might is right. As in the wars between nations, men seek to impose their wills upon others regardless of justice. As to charity, which is second only to the supremacy of God, why. that is left to a few men and women who are supposed to be profes- sionally engaged in that kind of work. n57n There are those going about us today who seek to undermine and who would destroy the very hopes upon which mankind has been leaning for centuries, aye, and finding peace and consolation and strength. There is the ugly specter of religious prejudice which, ever and anon, makes its hideous appearance on the horizon, even in this enlightened twentieth century, even in this land of liberty and independence, even in the home of constitution- ally guaranteed religious freedom. This truly un-Americanism which must create misunderstanding and suspicion in the minds of people who have every right to be permitted to live in peace and harmony, surely has no place in our fair land. We are living in an era when events of world-wide importance transpire with amazing rapidity. At home and abroad momentous questions are waiting to be answered. They concern each and every one of us, and none will be immune from their effects. As Americans, we are beginning to realize that we are no longer a disinterested nation, isolated from the other peoples of the globe by the broad oceanic expanses. Oh, that we might see and understand the full significance of the signs of the times! In this great land of liberty, of opportunity, of abundance, let us not forget that the blessings which we have inherited from the gallant and honored founders and defenders of our country and its institutions, will be ours only as long as we are willing and able to defend them. Eternal Vigilance is still the price of liberty, and, in return for the glorious prerogatives which are ours, surely men should exhibit enough manhood to shoulder their fair share of the re- sponsibility in maintaining the honor, the dignity, and the integrity of our beloved country. l ' In the pursuits of peace, no less than in war, leadership, cooperation, sym- pathy, and, finally, efficiency are of vital importance. It has been well said that he alone is fit to rule who has learned how to obey. The millions of human souls who make up society are looking. and, of necessity, must look, for able, high- minded, constructive leadership in men of ability. When gifted men combine their talents with those qualities of the heart and soul that make for disinterested- ness and unselfishness, they become the Washingtons and the Lincolns of the day and future generations will rise up to praise and bless them. To those of us who make up the great mass of the people, the least that we can do is to take an active, intelligent interest in the affairs of our government; to concern ourselves, where possible, with the important movements of the day and to make use of the means and agencies of enlightenment, education and ad- vancement which are Hours for the asking. The graduate, with youth still at his command, with ambitions high and the star of his hopes beckoning him onward, ever onward, is thrilled and inspired not so much by the little success he has just gained as by the prospect of future achievement.

PURCELL Success in Life? ...................................................... . ESTHER RUTHS The Road of Life ,.' .................................................. . DENA WILANSKY HELD MAY 2, AT WOODWABD AUDITORIUM WON BY ALICE E. PUBCELL 60 ttChivalry Of The Twentieth Centuryi, Y SOUL TO GOD, my life to my king, my heart to my lady, and my honor to myself?! This was the old knightis vow. In days of yore a knight gleried in his mission of redressing human wrongs; the m'odern knight without vow or vigil unconsciously devotes himself to the same purpose and livesnp to the same high-souled motto. What is modern chivalry? Have we chivalry today such as we had in the days 91 goqd ttQueen Bessm? Has not the world grown too matter of fact and ma- terialistic tor the display of such useless though beautiful sentiments? Has not religion lost its hold on the people in general? Has not the spread of democracy made them unwilling, not only to offer their lives or service to their ruler or gov- ernment3 but even to show proper resPeet to those in authority? Has not the de- mand of woman for equal rights and her gradual entrance into the industrial yvorJd killed off practically all that chivalrous feeling that men formerly held for ier. . Many there are, no doubt, who will answer yes to every one of these ques- tions. They will cite for you the beautiful story of Sir Philip Sydney on the bat- tlefield at Zutphen. Sir Philip, severely wounded, was being borne gently off the field. He called for water and it was brought to him. Just as he was raising it to his lips, he observed a dying soldier looking wistfully at him. Immediately the wounded nobleman offered it to the poor soldier, saying, ttTake it, friend, and drink, for thy need is greater than mine? ttWheref say they With a sigh, ttwill You find such men today? Have they forgotten the act and words of that old Confederate hero. General Wheeler, wounded at the battle of Santiago? When attendants attempted to place him in the ambulance to hear him to the rear, the bluff old warrior, pointing to some sorely-wounded privates, said, ttPut them in the ambulance; Iill ride in front? Possibly they will call your attention to the self-sacrifiee, heroism and chiv- alry of the Crusaders. Are not their heroism, self-sacriflce and chivalry matched, yes, more than matched, by the deeds of thousands of young Americans who for almost three years have been helping fight the worldls battle in the cause of de- mocracy in the blood-soakcd trenches of France? In telling the story of the Cru- sades writers especially love to dwell on the many acts of chivalry ofiRichard the Lion-Hearted and his brave Saracen opponent, Saladin. Was the sentiment that prompted the acts of Richard any finer than that which animated Captain John Philip on the battleship Texas? After the shattering of the Spanish fleet, when the sea was littered with sinking hulls, floating bits of broken vessels, yea, and bits of broken men, he said to his crew, HDon,t cheer, boys, the poor devils are dying? The deeds of brave Saladin are no more beautiful than those of the British and French aviators who circled around the grave of the noted German airman, Captain Boelke, dropping a wreath and two letters, one in memoriam t0 Boelke and the other a letter of condolence to German aviators. Although the present war will go down in history as one of the most desper- ately fought and most terrible of all times- a war in which greater hatred was aroused than ever before, and in which there were many unnecessary, brutal and inhuman crimes committed, yet we often read of soldiers in the trenches ex- changing greetings and bits of news with their enemies in their intervals of rest. .-61- In the days of chivalry it was only a few superhuman knights who performed these deeds of heroism, chivalry and courtesy. These deeds were so few and far between that the world could readily remember them. In the present worldis war, acts of heroism, chivalry and gallantry have become so frequent not only among the officers themselves, but even among the men in the ranks, as to attract only passing notice. Nor is it always necessary to seek for chivalry on the field of battle. It can be found manifesting itsell' today in every walk of life. Who is there who has had the privilege of witnessing the annual Yale-Harvard, Army-Navy or other noted intercollegiate football games, or who has had the pleasure of being a par- ticipant in any of the different forms of interseh'olastic contests prevalent among the colleges, that doubts that courtesy and chivalry still exist? Who is there who had the good fortune to live his life In America and has had the opportunity of witnessing the gradual emancipation of woman and her entrance into the indusa tries and professions, that feels that courtesy and chivalry are no longer shown to woman? Working shoulder to shoulder has been of immense benefit to both men and women, for thus ttEach fulfills defect in each, and always, thought in thought, purpose in purpose, will in will, they grow. Let us cite one other instance of chivalry as it manifests itself today. At noon on April 10, 1912, there sailed from Southampton, on her maiden trip, the Titanic, the largest, finest, strongest and best-equipped passenger boat that had ever been built. On board the vessel there were more than 2,000 people, some of whom were among the wealthiest and most distinguished in England and Amer- ica. On Sunday evening, April the fourteenth, the vessel was off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and in the region of floating icebergs. Suddenly, just a few minutes before midnight, there came a loud crash. A moment later could be heard the shrieks and pitiful cries of women and children, mingling with the hoarse shouts and commands of oHicers to the crew. Immediately the cry arose, ttWomen and children first? The cry was unnecessary, as every man stepped aside. Men whose wealth could have purchased almost anything on earth, men whose value to the world was inestilnable, stenued aside that some child or woman, perhaps a steerage passenger, might save its life. For about two hours, more than 1,500 heroic and chivalrous Souls waited on board the doomed vessel for their certain fate. About two in the morning the ship gave a sudden lurch and snnk from sight, carrying down With it millionaires and steerage paupers, men of note and humble members of the crew. Where, in all history, can you point to a finer display of self-sacrifice, heroism and chivalry? Chivalryi dead? Could anyone after reading the account of the heroic end of these 1,500 men of peace suddenly called upon to face the acid test, help feel- ing that chivalry is as prevalent today as it has ever been, and still is one of the vital factors in the Worldas progress. Nine men out of ten today, although they may never have given voice to a heroic sentiment, will respond without one in- stantls hesitation to the Cry of distress. Chivalry wedded to truth and righteousness. From such a union will always spring a larger light for the whole world, a truer outlook on human success, a deeper faith in the immortality of the human soul. ALICE E. PURCELL. n62- Success in Life HAT is success? Is it something that can be achieved with- out an effort something that can be had simply lorthe asking? No. Success is the child of drudgery and perseverance We all would like to succeed, but this is not enough. Is there anyone who would be satisfied with the success which may be had for the wishing? Born in an age and in a country in which knowledge and opportunity abound as never before, how can we sit with folded hands and ask God,s aid in work for which He has already given us the necessary faculties and strength? And as we look around us and see the wonderful development which has taken place in the last half century, it is evident that the world never saw such vast and unlimited Opportunities fox making life a success as now. Let us compare the advantages now with what they were in the times of our forefathers. What was the compensation for work done then and what is it now? What were their'means of education at that time? If we note the development of the country and its agencies, we shall readily find that there are thousands of vocations where fifty years ago there were none. Science has perfected many important inventions and openings for occupa- tions are numerous, for America is only another name for opportunity. Hun- dreds of enterprises have been developed for which young men are needed. The vast extensions of tour railroads has added to our resources and our internal com- merce is immense in its proportions. These changes have given employment to men in the mines and factories and created positions undreanied of in the days of our forefathers. The ambitious young man is most earnestly sought, for the business of the country is looking for those who are honest, industrious and trustworthy. The principal drawbacks to success at this particular stage of our national existence are luxuriousness in social life, pride, extravagance, over-ambition, un- due devotion to politics, and, above all, the aceursed hunger for riches. A man may make millions and still be a failure. Money-making is not the symbol of success. A well-known millionaire had but one ambition. He coined his very soul into dollars. The almighty dollar was his sun, and was mirrored in his heart. He strangled all other emotions and stifled all nobler aspirations until the scythe of death transformed him from one 'of the richest men who ever lived in this world to one of the poorest souls that ever went out of it. On the other hand, the necessary qualifications for a young man to possess in order to succeed are faithfulness, honesty of purpose, courtesy and correct habits. With these essential qualities the field is open and victory assured. No man is a failure who is upright and true. No cause is a failure which is in the right. There is but one failure, and that is not to be true to the best that is in us. We get out of life just what we put into it. The world, has for us just what we have for it. It is said of the slave, Fred Douglass, that he elevated himself into an orator, editor and statesman. Then what ought the poorest white boy do, who is rich in opportunities compared with Douglass, who did not even own his own body? As a being of powers intelligence and master 'of his own thoughts, man holds the key to every situation and contains within himself that transforming and regenerative agency by which he may make himself what he will. There can be no progress, no achievement, without sacrifice, and a mants worldly success will be in proportion to his sacrifices. The higher he lifts his thoughts, the more manly, upright and righteous he becomes. the greater Will be his success. He who cherishes a beautiful vision, a lofty ideal in his heart, will one day realize it. Our vision is the promise of what we shall one day be and our ideal is the prophecy of what we shall at last unveil. The thoughtless, the ignorant, and the indolent, seeing only the apparent ef- fects of things and not the things themselves, talk of luck, of fortune and chance. Seeing a man suddenly grow rich they say, ttHow lucky he is? Observing an- other become intellectual, they exelaim, uHow highly favored he is? Noting the saintly character and wide influence of another they remark, ttHow chance aids him at every turn. They do not see the trials and failures and struggles which these men have voluntarily encountered in order to gain their success. They have no knowledge of the sacrifice they have made, of the undaunted efforts they have put forth, 'of the faith they have exercised, that they might overcome the apparently insurmountable and realize the vision of their hearts. They do not know of the darkness and heartaches, they only see the light and joy and call it ttluekfl They do not see the long and arduous journey, but only behold the pleasant goal and call it gtg'ood fortune? They do not understand the process, but only perceive the result and call it ttehanee? In all human affairs there are efforts and there are results, and the strength of the effort is the measure of the result; chance is a negligible quantity. What we are to be finally we are now potentially; as the future oak lies folded in the acorn, so in the present lies our future. Our success will be, can be, but a natural tree developed from the seeds 'of our own sowing; the fragrance of its blossoms and the richness of its fruitage will depend upon the nourishment absorbed both from our past and present. ESTHER RUTHS. hallh. llllllllllllIllllllllllllllllll P ' t e r s 1 s e n c y . EIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIJE ERSISTENCY is the key to all success. It is that quality which impels a man : to continue steadfastly in the pursuit of an aim, in spite of all difficulties, trials and opposition. Through it men have performed seeming miracles and for lack of it some of the most promising youths have turned out mis- : erable failures. Genius will dream and plan, but it requires courageous per- EiIIIIIIIIIIIII:IIIIIIIIImIIIIIE sistency to carry those dreams into noble actions. The world cannot be conquered in a day! Ask any successful man to what he attributes his success and he will tell you ceaseless industry. Are your inventions often brilliant intuitions? asked a reporter of Thomas A. Edison. HDo they come to you While you are lying awake nights? HI never did anything worth doing by accident,n was the reply, nor did any of my inventions come indirectly through accident, except the phonograph. No, when I have fully decided that a result is worth getting I go ahead on it and make trial after trial until it comes? And so it is with all great men. Genius without diligence is of no avail. We owe it to the world and to ourselves to be persistent. It has justly been said that an unsettled person can never help to settle anything. Great problems require thorough studying, and how can we hope to solve them if we have never trained ourselves to stick to our task until it is completed? The world needs strong, persistent men today, as it has needed them from the begin- ning. True, it is easier to get along with a so-called broad minded man and it may sound accomplished to have a smattering of a variety of sciencesand occupations; but where is there a person who does not prefer a man who has the courage of his convictionseeven though opposed to our owneto one who has no settled convictions, and a man who is master of his occupation to one who has tried and failed in a score or more. It is far better to haVe accomplished one thing than to have wasted one's time and energy in merely beginning a great many and leaving them all undone. Lloyd Jones says: ttMen who try to do something and fail are infinitely better than those who try to do nothing and succeed? It takes courage to be persistent. The coward may start an enterprise or undertaking With the best of intentions, but gives up the minute some unexpected obstacle confronts him; but the brave man will only be the more determined when he faces difficulties, and will gather strength in overcoming them. It is only in the struggle that Nature develops the man. KVe would all be famous if fame could be procured by one great effort; but it is the steady grind and the daily disappointments which prove whether we are cowards 0r heroes. The swift torrent, rushing over a rock, may leave no trace behind; but the continued falling of a drop will finally bore its way through. There are some men who have a wrong conception of persistency. These men, once they have decided on a certain course, whether right or wrong, wilt adhere to it against their own better judgment, simply because they will not concede that they have made a mistake. This is the stubborness of a coward, ashamed 0r afraid to confess his error. But when a man knows that he is right; when he knows that the end he has in view is a noble one, and then sets about attaining his object, bravely and confidently, in spite of discouraging oppo- sition, sufferings and the ridicule of his friends, all the world will recognize him as a suc- cessful man. You say youtre tired, so tired tonight; The way so rugged and so far the goal; No one to help you see the light 01' smooth the way; no balm for wearied soul. Oh, shame! This is no time to mean! What matters it how darkly fate may frown; Your heart, how badly bruised and torn; Look up; fight on - tomorrow holds the crown. ELIZABETH KRUMENACKER. h 55 h Die moderne Deutsche Literatur. IE moderne deutsche Literatur ist so verschieden von Schillers und Goethes Dichtungen, wie die griechische von der hebraeischen. Ob- wohl Schiller und Goethe die besten dcutschen Dichter, die so gennanten Fuersten der deutschen Literatur sind, waehlten sie doch meistens Edelleute zu Helden in ihren Werken. Sie lebten in eincr ; Epoche, in welcher die wichtige Rolle der Massen im nationalen Leben noch nicht uebcrall anerkannt worden war. Nicht so liegen die Dingc heutzutage. Die Welt ist ueberzeugt dass die Wohl- fahrt der Massen fuer die Existenz einer Nation wichtig ist. Die Literatur, die nur ein Spiegel fuer das Leben ist, erkannte das zuerst an. Die modernen deutschen Dichter behaupten, um die Welt zu verbessern, muesse man das Leben in den breiten unteren Schichten der Menschheit kennen. Hauptmaun und Sudermann, zielbewusste deutsche Dichter, welche noch jetzt leben, haben mehr als andere Schriftsteller, diese Tatsachen zu Geltung gebracht. In ihren Werken schildern sie die sozial'e und oekonomische Lage der deutschen Pr'oletariat. In dem Werke nnDie Webef, malt Hauptmann die furchtbare Lage der armen schlesischen Weber, welchc, trotz ihrer langen Tage und Naechte von schwerer Arbeit kaum genug verdienen um Brot zu kaufen. Die verhungerten Weber leiden viel und bitter, aber ihre Geduld ist endlich erschoepft. Sie lassen ihren Zorn gegen den Fabrikanten aus. Die Weber zerstoeren die Fabriken, viele fallen in einer Schlacht mit den Soldaten, aber cndlich sind die Weber siegreich und ver- treiben die Soldatcn. In nFrau Sorgen, schildert Sudermann die Resultate der Sorge bei den Menschen. Dieselbe verursacht das Trinken, die Armut und sogar den Tod von Mann und Frau. Maurice Reinhold Von Stein in seinem Gedicht Frau Amrei schildert die schreckliche Tragoedie einer Frau. Nachdem ihr Mann, welcher aus Arbeitslosig- kcit und aus Verzweiflung stiehlt, etwas V011 geringem Werte sich angeeignet hat und ins Gefaengnis geworfen wird. geraet Frau Amrei in schreckliches Elend. Sie verkauft sogar ihr Kopfkissen an die Nachbarin. Mit diesem Gelde kauft sie Ess- waren und Kleider fuer ihre fuenf Kinder. Frau Amrei bereitet ein Fest fuer ihre Kinder; dann schickt sie dieselben in ihren neuen Kleidern schlafen. Aber frueh am Morgen erweckt Frau Amrei ihre Kinder eins nach dem andern, damn zerschneidet sie sich die Pulsadern, schneidct aber nicht tief genug und Wird in ein Spital gebracht. Nachdem sie gesund wird, wird sie vors Gericht gefuehrt. Frau Amrei wirdzu lebenslaenglicher Gefaengnisstrafe verurteilt. Der Dichter endet mit den Worten: nnSo siegt die Gerechtigkeit. Und ist der gutc Staat gerettet? Auf dicsc Wcise schildern des Lebens dunkle Seiten diese genialen Dichter der modernen deutschen Literatur. Sie tauchen untcr auf den Grund dcs gesell- schaftlichen Meers und sehcn dort furchtbare, aber wahrhafte Scenen von Hunger, Not und Armut. Sie schildern dicsc Bilder in ihren Werken wicder, um die Augen der Geschellschaft zu oeffen. Die Gesellschaft ist verantworllich fuer diese Zu- staendesund es ist ihre Pflicht dieses zu acndern. Gerechtigkeit, das Becht wie anstaendige Menchen zu lehen, mehr Licht muss den Arbcitern gegeben werden und in diesem Sinnc schreiben unsere modernen deutschen Dichtcr. hgon Class Auto Philosophy. Sweet flowers are slow, but weeds make haste. WW Environment invariably reflects upon the char acter of man, whether it be good or evil. T0 thine ownselt' be true. Whatsoever thou doeth, consider the end. Truth and honesty is the shortest way to our end, carrying us thither in a straight line. One purposeful action is worth more than a thousand idle dreams. Give to the world the best you have and the best will come hack to you. We live in deeds and not in years. Never waste time. Today comes but once and never returns. Think only good. A thought indulged but for. a moment may leave an influence for good or 111 Which can never be effaced. Effort and determination go a great way in mak- ing one successful. He conquers, who conquers himself. The richest people in the world are those-Who have learned the joy of sharing their happlness with others. Life, however short, is made still shorter by the waste of time. Speak the truth at all times; be sincere in word and action. He who chases two hares at one time ac- complishes nothmg.

Attempt the end, and never stand to Cloubi; Nothingis so hard but search will iind it out. Forget injuries, but never a kindness. Dead friends cannot appreciate yo'ur laurels. Life consists in learning, earning and saving, in order that we may be happy and contented and helpful to our neighbor. Time past, is gone; thou canslt not it recall, Time is, thou hast, improve its moments small, Time future, is not, and may never be, Time present, is the only time for thee. Be a friend and you will have a friend. Let us unite with peace the lands and all remain forever friends. The desire of knowledge, like the thirst of riches increases ever with the acquisition of it. Success is only a short method of spelling ilsticknto-itiveness. Waste no time; idle moments bring no returns. He conquers, who overcomes himself. Persistency rather than genius is the pathway that leads to success. He most lives who thinks most, feels the nobles;. acts the best. Do right and fear no one.- The will to do and the soul to dare. Live your life to the satisfaction of yourself and others. Who steals my purse steals trash; but he who filches from me my good name, robs me of that which not enricheshim,but makes me poor indeed. To him that believeth, all things are possible. All good mottoes are good, but-I must not copy only. -68... Life is what you make it. A word to the wise is sufficient, but a thousand speeches profit not the headless. Education enables one to derive rpore pleasure, enjoyment and satisfaction from llfe. To help my fellowmen, who are not as fortunate as I, is my ideal and aim. The reward of a thing well done is to have done it. Live true, speak clean, right wrong and be happy. A true friend is one that knows all about you and loves you just the same. Errors like straws upon the-surface flow; He, who would search for pearls, must dive below. Self-confidence, the path to success. Love and respect, thou shalt not strive in vain. Either never attempt, 01' else accomplish. Count that day lost, whose low descending sun, Sees at thy hand no worthy action done. If I cantt speak well of a man I wontt speak ill of him. W H ldm A soft answer turneth away wrath, but, a griev- ous word stlrreth up anger. Today well lived, makes every yesterday a dream of happiness, and every tomorrow a vision 1 of hope. Our spare moments are as numerous as the g - g sands of the sea, and we can make them as prec- ious as the pearls of the ocean.

AMa The thing that goes farthest towards making ' ' life worth while, costs the least, does the most good, is just a pleasant smile. Learning makes a man a fit companion for him- self. The world is but the vestibule of an immortal life. Every action of our livgsrrtouches on some chord that will' vibrate in eternity. ' .4 Life will be lengthened while growing, for thought is the measure of life. Do noble things, not dream them all day long. Say; do! The great thing,r in this world 'is not so much where we stand as in what direction we are moving. 'There is no eloquence without a man behind it. Lifeis a jest, and all lhings show it. I thought so once, and now I know it. It matters not how long we live, but how. ewe Pride goeth forth on horse grand and gay, But cometh back on foot and begs its way. A comforting word, a cheerful smile, Are really things that are worth while. For many a heart that has been broken, Was cheered again just by this token. Every man is the architect of his own fortune. Life is what we make it. Employ every moment. Tinie is too valuable to waste. Let us have faith that right makes might, and in thatdfaith let us dare to do our duty as we under- stan it. They are never alone who are accompanied by noble thoughts. Let justice flow like water, and righteousness like a perennial stream. Diligence is the mother of Good Luck. .Luck is the most overworked word in the English language in spite of the fact that there isntt any such thing. They look into the beauty of thy mind, and that, they measure by thy deeds. Much learning shows how little one really knows. A big smile and the glad hand never go amiss. Life is a fragmentea moment between two eternities, influenced by all that has preceded and to influence all that follows. Do not lay things too much to heart. No one is ever really beaten unless he is discouraged. Life is too short for logic; what 1 do I must do simply. ' Patience is a plant that grows not in all gardens. Whatever you do, do well. Why should a man whose blood is warm Within, sit like his grandsire carved in alabaster. Cheerfulness is a priceless treasure andtis with- in the' reach of all. The joy of living is in the giving our help to those who are in need. Discretion is the better part of valor. The occasion is no mask for character. Day by day, to do the best I can. He profits most who serves best. Life is not made for us, but for us to make of . life. my , A better mankind I wish to see, ' ' ' And one of it I want to be. The cause of liberty, justice and equality de- pends on the treatment it receives at our hands. Man is his own star and the soul that can render an honest and a perfect man, commands all light, all. influence, all fate. Constant persistence knows no failure. Do not look on your work as a dull duty. If you choose you can make it interesting. If you wish success in life, make Ambition your bosom friend, Experience your wise counsellor, Caution your elder brother, and Hope your guard- ian genius. Out of nothing comes nothing. Priceless indeed, but costing nothing and with- in the reach of all-a smile. It is faith in something and enthusiasm for something, that makes life worth looking at. Life is what we make it. KVe are the moulders 01 our own destinies. Build your life on principles of uprightness, and do not mistake pleasure for life. In small proportion we just beauties see, In short measures life may perfect be. Glory is the companion of virtue. I find that determination and consistency win half the battle. Speak a kind word at all times; forgive your enemy. True worth is in being, not seeming. One cannot always be a hero, but one can always be a man. Be honest first, then generous e never wasteful Life is half spent before we know what it is. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year. See how yonder liltle candle throws its light, thus shines a good deed in a naughty world. Failure grows where you let things go. Pose on no pedestal and you will escape falls. Success is attained by those confronting rough and smooth as they come. Study what you are going to do, then do it. A minute at study is an hour saved. Our life is but the twinkle of a star in Godls Eternal day. Life is a great gift, let us not hesitate to use it. All for each, and each for all. The world will cease to be a den, KVhen brothers will become all men. YVe must find our duties in what. comes to us: not in what we imagine might have been. Sticking everlastingly at it brings success. Be good, and let who will be clever. One Today is worth a thousand Tomorrows. Commencement Exercises $92919:ri 10. 11. 12. 13. 1,1.

I IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII ZOHHdNH24ame mmdqo mOHZDH Junior Class Organization ARLY in the school term a large number of students of the B grade met in Room 489 and formed the Junior Class organization. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Alexander, one of the popular teachers in this grade, and the following otiicers were elected: , . Dewey Reps, President; Iva Dacey, Vice-President; Myrtle Wilson, ! Recording Secretary; Henry Thurman, Financial Secretary, and George Wendel, Treasurer. The objects set forth in organizing were to promote friendships, sociability and cobperation; to arouse class spirit and enthusiasm and to be of service to the school in any way possible. These objects have been more than realized and a more soeiable and friendly lot of enthusiastic iilive wiresgl it would be hard to find anywhere. Coeperation is one of the secrets of the success attending their every undertaking. Each mem- ber is always ready to work with his neighbor to further the interests of both the organization and the school. Many happy hours have been spent together, and ties of friendship have been formed that will never be broken. And in future years as memory turns back the pages of time those happy hours will be lived over again. Probably the most pleasing social event given by this organization was the dinner dance at Phillipfs in Westwood 0n the evening of December 30, 1916, at which Principal and Mrs. Schwartz were the guests of honor. A sumptuous chick- en supper was served and enjoyed as only East Night Juniors can enjoy good things. T casts were proposed by the President, as toastmaster, and responses were given by Mr. Schwartz and a number of students. The tables were later Cleared away and the evening given over to dancing, which lasted till the stroke of twelve. Another successful event was the dance at the Walnut Hills Mansion on March the tenth. The hall was beautifully decorated with the school colors, blue and gold, and with wintergreens interspersed with flags and school pennants. The music was excellent, the crowd was jolly and a merrier time was never realized at any of our school dances. The club has been much encouraged throughout the year by its ability to ac- complish things, and we look forward to the Senior year with confidence, feel- ing that the experience gained this year will prove quite valuable to us in carry- ing out successfully the various school events that will be expected of us next year. In order that enthusiasm may not weaken during vacation, a number of events are being planned for the summer, to which all are looking forward with anticipa- tion. We are sure each member will strive to be back next year, ready to work for the good of the school that means so much to us. DEWEY REPS, 18. ROOM 477 ROOM 484 ..73.

According to the philosophy of Nietzsche the only way in Which humanity can ever reach the highest stage of mentality and development is by bestowing power and opportunity upon a ElllllllllllllllllllllllnllflllllIrlllllE privileged few, thereby creating a iiStmng aristocracy? By giving this class unbridled freedom and concentrating upon them every form of education, Nietzschels ideal of the ttsuperlnan is created. Democracy with its in- sistence upon equal rights and popular education for all is violently opposed. From the Nietzschean viewpoint, democracy is productive of only a middle class mentality and genius can not thrive under such conditions. We, the citizens of a democratic nation, must with one Voice condemn any system that concentrates power and privilege upon a few, who in turn will trample under foot the masses without regard or pity. The Creator of mankind never intended that one class of people should be exalted above another, or that one man should enjoy every op- portunity and privilege and baskint the light of knowledge, at the expense of an- other, who must grope in the darkness of ignorance, shackled with the bonds of Oppression. In the words of Jefferson, that great democratic American, ttWe hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal, that they are en- dowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? A system that takes away these inalienable rights is wrong, and, if for no other reason than this moral one, deserves to be ban- ished from the thoughts of men. It is no doubt true that by concentration upon a few the mentality of that few may he raised to a higher standard. But is it not many times better to raise the mentality of the millions to a certain degree by opening to all alike the door of opportunity and education than to raise the standard of the few many times high- er? If it were true that democracy suppresses genius, its condemnation upon that point might be justified, but we do not believe it does. It is a notable fact that democratic America with its ttmiddle class n'ientalityu has given to the world the submarine, the aeroplane, the telephone and the incandescent light, to say nothing of the numerous other inventions of the age. 0n the other hand we haVe but to point to some of our great men whose genius has flowered under our demo- cratic government. Our Lincoln! Think you Nietzscheis system could have given us a Lincoln? We of America can never entertain for a single instant any other than our democratic ideals. And we stand ready,a hundred million strong, to give the ttlast full measure of devotionn that, in the words of our great Lincoln, ttGovern- ment of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth?

ALICE MAY BRACKETT, e83h Junior Class History. l m'm ' lEN looking back over the past three years We have spent in striving for knowledge at the East Night High School, we realize that our efforts and persistent struggles, accompanied by a great deal of I sacrifice were not in vain. Success is the crowning result of perseverance. It was only E nmmummlmlmmmum perseverance, with the unceasing and tireless efforts 'of our kind teachers, that brought us through these past few years, and it is perseverance that will carry us through our final term. llIIIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIlllllll llllllIllIlllIllllIIIllllllllllllllllllllll Trying to prove triangles equal in all respects, has broadened our minds and made us more capable of absorbing the knowledge we have yet to grasp. Our study in history has been so vivid, that we almost imagined ourselves in the come pany of Washington and Jefferson, and could hear the commanding voice of An- drew Jackson, instead of merely studying of them many years later. The hours spent in studying Spanish, German or Latin have been very interesting, and last but not least, was the delightful study of English Literature. How we enjoyed the Scottish dialect of Burns HThe Cotter,s Saturday Night? made clear to us by our teacher, also the poems of Gray and Goldsmith, to say nothing of that memorable Sunday spent with Sir Roger de Coverly at his country home. We also learned to stand before the class without notes, and talk on different subjects. Preparations for and anticipation of these, caused no little excitement among us, but when all was over, we felt that we had been greatly benefited by the experience. Though we may often become discouraged and disappointed, because we cannot obtain better results, and trials and temptations cross our onward path, let us not forget that if we would succeed, we must persevere t0 the end. ttIf a task is once begun, never leave it till itas done, has been our maxim for these past three years and we mean to stick to it until we come out with high honors. It is hard to realize that three years of our course are completed, but, as Htime and tide wait for no man? we must seize our opportunities, now while it is time, and when new opportunities do come we shall be able to make use of whatever knowledge we may have gained. We part at the end of this term, only to spend a pleasant vacation and to meet again at the opening of the next term with light hearts tnot headsl, cheer- ful faces, ready to take up our tasks and reach the goal, becoming graduates of the Class of 1918. ttCome ease, or come travail; come pleasure or pain, My warst word isetWelconie and welcome againtl CLARA Coons, 318. ..34.. 85...

Eagerly we began our task and under the watchful eyes of tour able instruc- tors our progress soon became apparent. So day by day we continued to build mighty pillars of history, fastened securely by girders of geometry. After laying the floor with German, Spanish and Latin, we gave the entire structure a coating 'of English. Now that our task is completed, and we stand ready for promotion, we look back over the past few months and feel the thrill of joy that comes only to the victorious.

Many I E heeded the call and thronged to the hall of learning. Among them 6 were experienced ones who had spent other happy years in the school, namely the A Grade, going into the auditorium with a .9999. superior air. After them came the B and the C Grades, all men and women who had come before and finding. the vast treasures which were cone tained within, had come again. Then in hordes uncountable came the D Grade. How new, how young and how inexperienced we felt! In quest of higher edu- cation we had come from all parts of the city to enter the Academic Department of the school. 4.641443. Now that the year is drawing to a close, we can look back and laugh at our confusion of the first few weeks. First we were assigned to our ro'oms and divi- sions. When we were settled to suit our varied tastes, we picked up our books, all new and strange to us, and began to dive deep into them to see what we could discover. Our foreign language proved the most interesting to most of us. To speak in a strange tongue was both a curiosity and delight to us. Of course it was hard at first, but our determination to master the foe brought us a speedy victory. English, Physical Geography and Algebra, our other studies, brought before us many new treasures which we heretofore had not discovered. The Thanksd giving Exams, Christmas with the Dramatic Clubts fine performance ttThe Jonahtt soon passed and January 4th found us again at work. Now as we await the final exan1inations,letus pause and consider. Has our year been worth the while? Perhaps we have not given our best on all occasions, but have we succeeded in obtaining that for which we came? A retrospective glance at our school work can tell us that. If we have succeeded then we need have no fear for the finals. Hard study and diligent application on our parts will pass us into the C Grade and we will be Freshmen no longer. But let us say before we part that our year has been a happy one. We thank each and every teacher and our kind principal, Mr. Schwartz, for their part in building up the foundation of our High School work. We hope others who come in and fill our places next year may enjoy their Freshman year as we have ours. When in 1920, we, who have persevered will receive our diplomas, we will look back and remember in gratitude what a large part our Freshman year played in obtaining them. Now that our days are numbered and this page of our life is almost spent, we bid you farewell; not without a sigh, for this year has been a pleasant and profitable one, but with trust and bright hopes for the future. May we all meet again next September is the parting wish of THE FRESHMAN CLASS OF 1916-17, L. MCDONOUGH. 9 95 .n Cheerfulness. 'nw'kg' F you are hungry, you either buy or beg something to eat. If you you need clothing and have no money, you can get that clothing, Q '1, provided your credit is good. But the one essential to human life Q which you cannot buy, beg or borrow is eheerfulness. C Cheerfulness is a state of mind which all people should 'AGTFQO- strive to attain; and eheerfulness can be attained by all. Live each day for itself, and greet each new day with a smile. By perseveriug. cheerfulness will be achieved. Then you can give your best to the world, and the world will turn its sunniest face to you. Have you ever watched the moon rise from behind a black cloud at night? Was it not a cheering sight. and did you not feel better for having seen it? So it is when we come in contact with a cheerful, happy person. No matter how heavy our burdens may be, they are lightened by such a person. Recently a magazine article told of a man who started in at a large steel manufacturing company as messenger boy. Twenty-seven years later that same boy sold the steel company for several millions of dollars. And he accomplished it by a smile! The Almighty made man erect so that he would stand up and look up and face the world with a smile. What a different world this would be if children were taught to be cheerful under all trying conditions! XVe would then live in a veritable garden of sun- shine. And if we would look at all people through rose-colored glasses, the world would be a much finer and better place in which to live. There is nothing wanted so much in the world as sunshine, and the greatest wealth is a cheerful, helpful disposition. Cheerfulness adds much to a man. It im- proves him mentally, morally, and physically. If the troubles of lif e are met with a smile, they do not seem so lar e or so hard to bear. If one is cheerful, he can think more clearly, and this ma es the burden lighter. The morals of life would be Changed if people were more cheerful. Cheer- fulness gives us the courage to do right and to think right. to be lenient in our judgment of others, and to accept bravely judgments which are pronounced on us. Even the Great Book commands us to iiBe of good cheer? uChrist did not conquer men with a sword, but by a smile. He did not win them by loud words, but by loving deeds? A wise doctor is a cheerful person. As soon as he arrives the patient feels better, even before any medicine or advice has been given. XYhy? Because the doctor comes in with a smile, and chases away much of the pain by the very force of his good nature. Healthy men are cheerful men, and cheerful men are happy men. Joyous people are not only the happiest, but the longest-lived, the most useful, and the most successful. A good, hearty laugh always makes one feel better. Then, is it not surprising that we do not laugh more than we do? gSmile and the world smiles with you? Remember this and wear a cheerful countenance at all times, then every living creature will be glad to meet you. itThe thing that goes the farthest towards making life worth while, That costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile. The smile that bubbles from a heart that loves its fellow men Will drive away the cloud of gloom, and coax the sun again.

At first we be- came excited, but were informed that this could also be passed if we did not lose our Lin-o-witz. We obeyed these orders and were finally landed on the shores of Graduation. Our passports tcertiticatesi proved satisfactory to the inspectors and we were then allowed to enter and explore the Business World, and learn some of the mysteries hidden there. LOUISE FREY. Why We Entered School. 1T has been said that book knowledge 1's all right, but it is practical, every-day experience that develops the efficient worker. There is much truth in this statement and hearing this in mind, many enter the office or factory with the intention of commencing at the bottom of the ladder and climbing. The result is that one usually learns 7. - a only that which is absolutely necessary to make headway in that particular office or factory, but in most instances progress is slow indeed, with- out any book knowledge. For this reason we enrolled in the commercial department two years ago Here we would become acquainted with the theory of commercial subjects as well as secure practical ideas. . From the beginning we realized that this course was not play and that ac- curacy and care were necessary to obtain the desired results. The work was in- teresting and with our teachers5 assistance we overcame many difficulties which arose from time to time. With patience the class was taken through the fields of commercial arithmetic, English and bookkeeping. To our instructors we are in- debted for their willingness to assist us at all times, and only by using to the best of our ability the knowledge gained while with them can they be repaid for their efforts. Now the school year is at an end and we part, each to face the realities of life. It is no doubt the ambition of each to be a success iinancially. This is neces- sary in order that we may,t0 some extent, realize our ideals. Upon entering the business world, however, we will find not all sunshine but many dark clouds, and unless ours are exceptional characters we are apt to be governed by the spirit of each one for himself. There can he no real pleasure in success achieved by unfair means. Therefore we should try to carry with us through life a feeling of kindness toward all and malice toward none, and make it our duty to assist and not to take advantage of our weaker fellow-nien. LOUISE FHEY. --101- .hhhh O. i ROOM 371 IWas onr Commercial Course Worth While? Q- AVE we made a success or failure of our lwo yearshcommereial h work? . t . Those of us who have devoted our time and minds faithfully for the past two years can answer this question with complete satisfaction, but others who have neglected their studies for the pursuit of unprofltable pleasure can not answer satisfactorily. Each and every student had the same opportunity when school began; some took advantage of every spare moment to improve their chances of success, while others neglected school for the movies and various other pleasures. Our aim in going to night school was to be prepared for our future in the business world. . ' ' To many of us, our future depends upon the education we received at East Night School, under our capable teachers, who have been patient and kindrin devoting their time and encouragement to us. When our senior year was a little more than half completed, and we seemed to be losing-interest in the work, we had the pleasure of hearing a very inspiring talk on ttPreparedness? , This talk caused us to take on new courage, and to realize what a glorious victory we would surely win in the battle of life if we would only remain loyal to our cause. Do we regret that instead of wasting our evenings in the pursuit of frivolous pleasure, we enrolled in the Class of ,17? No, for the day is coming when we shall look back with gratitude upon the years spent in preparing ourselves for a successful future in the commercial world. ' WM. A. BURGRAF, ,17. e102e- Special-One Year Bookkeeping Class. HE ttOne-Yearl, bookkeeping class was not overlooked by the throng l of the ambitious who, inspired by a desire to acquire knowledge, entered the East Night High School in September, 1916. Indeed, so many signified their intention of taking advantage of the oppor- tunities offered by this excellent Course that it seemed necessary , , -i for a time to form several sections. However the efforts of some were found to be of short duration and this therefore became unnecessary. The majority of us stuck to our purpose and devoting ourselves to this new work we rapidly acquired the fundamental principles as they appeared in the sup- plementary text, and successfully completed the work of the first semester. Greatly encouraged thereby, we entered upon the advanced course. This we discovered to be rather more complex than the preceding work, but having mastered the ele- mentary principles we found that,- by giving the work close attention and careful thought, we could overcome the difficulties as they arose in our path. As we look back over the year just passed several questions arise in our mind and demand to be answered. Have we profited by taking up the study of bookkeeping ?7 If so, in what way? That we have profited by the addition of book- keeping to our other qualifications for a business career will be conceded by all of us, for, employed in offices in various capacities as most of us are, the time and effort we have given to the acquisition of this additional knowledge will not be regretted by any. Not only has it opened up new possibilities for us but we have experienced the satisfaction of having acquired knowledge which will be 'of permanent value to us. , The necessity of absolute accuracy and of careful attention to detail has been very forcibly impressed upon us during the course of our studies. We also have found that, as prospective bookkeepers, we were to assume positions of responsi- bility, as our books must show at any time the,condition of the business for which we are keeping records. In mastering the principles of bookkeeping during the past year we feel that we have built a firm foundation upon which 'to construct a future career. and it is a source of great pleasure to us that we have selected and successfully com- pleted the work of this Course. Bookkeeping. What Ilve learned of bookkeeping and know beyond doubt, Is, that debits come in and that credits go out: Notes receivable stand for the notes owed to me; That interest must be figured accurately. To keep business running, pay when theylre due Notes payable and paper that I owe to you; That to discount a note, advance interest I pay; My cash should be counted and balanced each day. When I take a trial balance, I list my accounts, Showing debitsand credits of equal amounts; Gains and losses appear now on my balance sheet With resources I have and liabilities to meet. My financial statement shows all this in one, And, as this is final, my working is done; And the principles learned at East Night High School, When put into practice, will prove a safe rule. ANNA M.

N interesting performancd was recently given at the new EtObser- vational T heatre. It was a holiday hill, comprising seventeen acts. Two illustrated lectures opened the performance: nHow I Lost My Voice? by Miss Marie Uth, and nHow I Set the Record? by Miss 'Hilda Ehrlich, who holds the record for attendance. Next on the 7,:5 ti bill Was a delightful and amusing sketch presented by the famous ticket-agent, Miss Louise Potts, entitled tiBook-reporting Par Excellence? Then came a sketch, ttNinety-Words a Minute? played by the Misses Kohl, Caudill and Kennedy. This act went with a rush. The Blue Grass Girls, 3 Iieministic trio, consisting of the Misses Neville, Gindele, and Elsie Uth, proved to be one of the best of the evenings entertainments. The fea- ture of this act was a very touching sdng entitled HT he Troubles 'of Tuition Payers? The Helen ONeill-Bertha Schroeder Company then presented their well-known comedy, stThe Late Comersfi Constant repetition has not dulled interest in this act. The entertaining commedienne, Miss Cohn, had some very good songs, among Which, sW'hy Does He Call On Me First? was easily the best. The eminent Ina- gician, Joseph Sagmaster, followed with his mystifying illusion of turning the money of students into gold Class pins and rings. He also produced from the air, book-rep'orts, spelling matches, debates, etc. Much attention should be given to the talented pianistes, the Misses Bayer and Glaser, who were first brought into the limelight through their brilliant J anuary recital in the Music Room. The tt35lii Quartet, an organization of youngmale singers, was very well received. Mr. Renshaws 6Song of the Counting-Roomf Mr. Greenfield,s ttWhat the Spelling Book Sings to Me? Mr. Wendell's ttBig Four Balladf, and Mr. Wassonts ttRamblings of a Runner? were very commendable. A recitation of ccThe G01d-Bug55 was given by the famous dramatic actress, Miss Helen Naber. She rendered it in a manner which leaves no doubt as to her tal- ents. Mr. Lamping came next with a monologue composed and acted entirely by himself, ttFun in a Library? A most accomplished artist and poetess is Mrs. Dyer whose pictures and verse proved to be features of the evening. The Misses Shay and Santen, two young ladies with terpsich'orean aspirations, gave a fine exhibition of the latest dances. yMiss Shay,s ttDance of East Night? and Miss Santenis cTlanc'e 0f the Silent Sphinx? were. undoubtedly the best of all. After these diversions the painstaking actress, Miss'MaI-tin, presented her successful and praiseworthy production ttMak- ing Up For Lost Time? Next on the bill came the Fegelman-Krasnitzky Team, who'rendered their famous duetttWhy Wre Sit Together in English? The song seemed to clear up a great mystery in the minds of the audience. A dramatic sketch ttThe Desertersf was acted in pantomime by Miss 0,Connor and Mr. Bein. The audience, however, did not seem to fully understand the motive for the action. Character studies by the Misses Aronofl' and Harmeier, and the Messrs. Halley and Pieper closed the bill. Mr. Halley impersonated our well-known sailor friend, Davy Jones. Miss Aronoff gave a fine personation of Little Eva of :Uncle Tonfs Cabin fame, and Miss Harmeier of a girl at a Euchre Bazaar. Mr. Pieper took the character of a Scotch Hiland musician, a part for which he is eminently fitted. This great show, which covered a period of nine months, was so interesting and helpful that every one was sorry to see it come to a close.

ETURNING home one evening after a day that had been more trying than : usual, I sank into a comfortable rocker before the tire, feeling as one is likely to when physically weary,Lthat ttnothing was worth while? itNo, said 1, t1 shall not go to school tonightLor any other night! I added, itWhatts the useii Whats the use 7 said a quiet voice behind me, and I turned to find that 7L; .L .. I was no longer in my room but in the white- tiled wald of a children s hos- pital. The voice of the nurse who had spoken seemed familiar, and, much amazed, I recog- nized Flora, my night school chum. Yes? she said in answer to my unvoiced question, all this has night school made possible for me. 1 first realized its possibilities while in the com- mercial class of 1917, but I did not stop there? Just then a little child moaned with pain, and with a look of COInpaSSion Flora glided away. A soothing murmur, a gentle touche and the child slept. As in a dream I passed on through the wards to be greeted in turn by Ethel, Ellen, Anna and Adele, and to learn that they too were graduate nurses. As I watched them move with gentle dignity from one sufferer to another; here holding a glass of cool water to fevered lips; there shifting a pillow beneath an aching head; and again administer- ing a soothing potion to one whose pain was greater than he could hear; I thought of One who with pitying touch healed the deaf ears and blinded eyes and made the lame to walk. Next I found myself standing in awed silence in the presence of a great surgeon as he stood in immaculate attire, calm, clear-eyed, confident; with knife poised above the operating table. A few deft strokes, and I thrilled with the knowledge that within a few days a mother would be sent back with new strength to care for the anxious waiting little brood at home. There was triumph in his eyes as he turned toward me. i if'ou, Louis! I cried. tWes? he said with a smile, itand my work too is the result of time spent in the night school. It was hard sometimes; but it was worth while. ttYes,, I echoed, worth while? As I spoke the door opened and another physician entered. There was no mistaking that red hair It could belong only to Frank. itYou see, Louis and I are still chums, he remarked boyishly. The white-tiled walls faded away and I found myself in the holy hush of a great church. Soft music wafted down from the great organ and died away into silence. A minister arose and began to speak. His voice, tenderly pleading, rose and fell with perfect intonation as he uttered words which were as rare jewels. Under their influence one who had wandered in sin knelt in humble penitence at the altar and went forth to live a new life. I leaned forward eagerly. Could it be? Yes, the silver-tongned orator was none other than my old classmate Clyde. As I clasped his hand he read the wonder in my eyes and smiled. iiI took my first steps toward perfect English in the East Night High Class of 173 he said. Another change, and I stood in the private oftice of the President of one of the great business houses of our city. Under the instructions of this calm, alert man the work moved as if by magic. The quiet grandeur of his personality seemed to spread its influence to every part of the work. As he turned to me I gaSped in amazement. Surely I was dreaming now, for before me stood the laggard of our class. I was speechless. iiAre you thinking of the low marks I received on my 111id-year Exam in the old East Night High? he queried. Eyes twinkling, he said, That experience set me to thinking and I count it as one of the itn- portant stepping stones to the place which I now occupy. And he glanced with pardon- able pride about his perfectly appointed office. uPerhaps it would interest youf, he con- tinued, iito know that Herbert is vice-president of 0111' company and Walter is our chief sales manager? Then he touched a bell and a lady entered the office. I did not need his quaint introduction: ttMy most efficient eastern buyer-the jewel of our class? to know that this smiling, capable woman was indeed she. 1 next entered a pretty cottage, and as the dainty mistress came forward to greet me I recognized at once m3 old classmate, Frances. Looking about me I instinctively felt that I had entered not a house, but a perfectly ordered home. How do you do it? I questioned eagerly, and she did not seem to think me rude. ttOh, t, she said, nafter I finished my com- mercial work I took a course in domestic science. 'I'his, with m3 knowledge of bookkeep- ing has enabled me to run our home in a scientific and economical manner. Arthur says tyou remember Aithur, he was in our classl that my economy has paid for our home. At the same time we have lived well without struggling to make ends meet. Itts all in the knowing how, she concluded, iithanks to East Night High. On and on I went, meeting my classmates in the many vocations of life. Richard was a professor in the University; Earl an eminent lawyer; Abe and Meyer partners and owners of immense department stores; Isador a leader of great social reforms. In each face I could read the contentment that comes only to thosewho, having fought and overcome, are liv- ing happy and useful lives. I bowed my head in shame. I alone seemed to have thought it not worth while to strive. tiIf only I might have another chance! I sobbed eand opened my eyes to find myself in my rocker before the fire. The hour hand of the clock pointed to seven; and, somehow, I seemed to have forgotten that I was too tired to go to school.

It reaches hack to the hour when we were first impressed with the fact 01' the inadequacy of our preparation, and under the impulse of this knowledge there came the determination to better our condition 1; ;: and our expectancy. So this class was enrolled, a mixed group of varying ability and stability. Some there were, who, heeding the thought of the poet Pope, ctA little knowledge is a dangerous thing, Drink deep or touch not the Pierian spring, grew alarmed at the danger of having a little knowledge and promptly withdrew even before they had gained that little. But a fair percentage of the class persevered in attendance and work, and hopes to finish the year creditably. We have prosecuted our studies with the pleasure that comes through the accomplishment of work carefully planned and intently persisted in. The diffi- culties of Bookkeeping have gradually been solved, our ability in the art of ex- pression has increased, and we have gained both pleasure and profit from as- sociation with teachers and fellow classmates, and from participation in the broader activities of a great institution of learning. We know we have made but a beginning, and our class, a particularly earnest one, will go on in its effort toward the attainment of a proficiency, in our chosen work that will lead to success. And may this be our motto, ttI will? Mr. Newberry and Miss Tedesche's Junior Bookkeepers. Six would-be bookkeepers very much alive, Four little bookkeepers glad and light and free, Picture show got one; then there were five. A merry party captured one, then there were three. Five little bookkeepers seeking much lore, Three little bookkeepers pushing right through, One got too tired to come; then there were tour. A trial balance tripped one; then there were two. Two little bookkeepers having lots of fun, One failed in discount; then there was one. All too well this childish rhyme tells the story of the enthusiastic students who on a bright September night in 1916 fell into line with an embyro army which wended its way triumphantly to E. N. H. S. As we neared the building the ranks became more dense and excited. ttWherek the tire? piped the shrill voice of a street urchin above the babel. We-might have told him the tire was the fire of ambition kindled in each heart; but the crowd swept us on. At last we were sorted, registered and each one ready to begin the task of his choosing. How hopeful and earnest'we were! How we resolved to embrace the opportunities that were ours! We would tread no longer in the old rut, but would rise from the mediocre t0 the utmost round 'of the ladder. Alas! VVC forgot to reckon with trial balances that would not balance; with losses that should he gains and cash that refused to come right. For the first few weeks we worked with enthusiasm, then, some found the struggle too great, others were not strong enough to resist the call of pleasure or the comforts of home and One by one they loosened their hold On the ladder and we saw them no more. The long months have flown and they have been busy ones. We have found plenty of hard work, but also much pleasure. Now at the end of the term we find the faithful few of what was once two rooms gathered into one. The first term is finished, the race half won. If we have succeeded we owe much of our success to our teachers, Miss Tedesche and Mr. Newberry, in whom we have found friends ever ready With a helping hand and a word of encourage- ment.

J unior Stenography Class Historye1917. . egg: t1 AHLY in the fall quite a large number of young people gathered in the auditorium of East Night High School, anxious with the aid of a commercial education to better their condition in life, and chose Stenography as the subject which they should use as a step- ping stone in order to increase their chances in the business world. The first few evenings were given over to organizing and ar- ranging the many pupils in the proper class rooms, and in a short time we had become interested in our work and had begun our studies in earnest. Our work was, at first, a bit tedious and some of our classmates lost interest and fell behind. Before we knew it, the Christmas holidays were upon us and when we came back we found many of our classmates missing, but most of those who failed to return were those who had lost their grit. The English and typewriting were a benefit and pleasure to us, as well as a rest from hooks, circles, loops, etc. We were told that with practice we would soon be able to operate the typewriter with speed and accuracy. . hush The opportunity offered by the night high schools leaves the road to success open to every ambitious young person; and this class has shown its appreciation of this opportunity by regular attendance and diligent study throughout the year. The acquaintances and friendships made during our J unior year have indeed been very pleasant and we hope these associations will continue and that every one will return next year with greater enthusiasm for his work. Although discouragement may have come to us at times, anticipation marks our attitude toward the next term. We are deeply indebted to our teachers, for it is through their patience. encouragement and assistance that we have been able to acquire a firm founda- tion which will be invaluable to us for the next yearls work.

T439900 For the first few weeks as they voyaged through the sea of Review, the going was not so rough, but as they reached a higher latitude, billows of difficulty loomed upon the horizon. With patience, and vigorous concentration, however, they were reduced to mere ripples. Swiftly the Ports Of Decimal, In- terest and Insurance were passed and occasionally the anchor was cast into the harbor of Composition, so the crew could scrutinize the Fort of English. The ship traveled along the coast of Oratory and stopped at the Island of Christmas Holidays, where the captain entertained the crew splendidly, after which, they retired to Mother Nature to replenish their supply of energy and de- termination. After the holidays they returned to their posts of duty and with renewed vigor started on the last lap of their journey. The water was smooth and bright, because of the three weeksi recuperation which they had enjoyed, and not until they reached the choppy sea of Nouns and Verbs, did they experience difficulties of note. Huge waves of Case and Gender rolled over their bows, and they grounded upon the reef of Parsing Nouns. But with the ever rising tide of At- tention, the sturdy vessel floated off and gently entered the strait of Verb, where, by careful piloting, they picked their course safely past the rocks of Conjugation, and passed out into the doubtful seas of Bank Discount and Mensuration. They had little difficulty when the pilot was at the helm, but when the ship was put into the hands of the crew, while passing the shoals 0f Examination, it almost grounded, and would have done so, had not the winds of Diligence filled the sails.and carried them safely on to the port of Compensation, where they re- ceived a cherished award, their diploma. And thus let us all travel, until the time arrives, when we shall have entered and east our anchor into the waters of the beautiful harbor 0t HONORABLE SUCCESS. JOHN SPARKA, . CHEMISTRY CLASS PHYSICS CLASS H122 SCIENCE 7h EasiHNithiigh schooto . . :ue, 'l Chemistry. UITE a number enrolled in the chemistry classes at the beginning of the year, some taking up the Work on Friday night and others preferring Saturday afternoon. In many instances the students were taking this subject as an added study, desiring to increase their number of credits and to build up a practical education. Chemistry is an extremely practical study and no student should miss an opportunity of taking up this work. It is intensely interesting; it de- velops reasoning power, clearer observation and a greater interest in everyday things. An education is not entirely complete 1101' entirely practical without some knowledge of chemistry. Mr. Homburg lectured to us and illustrated his lectures with experiments, at times injecting humor into the work, as only he can. The work in the laboratory was taken care of by Miss Doerr, Who was al- ways willing to assist us in our observations, and ever ready to explain the phe- nomena. The two hours of iiLabii were always too short. It is with much regret that we realize that the year has come to a close. HOWARD M. WILSON, 18. e123m 124- 'EA5T ' N IGTTT'fHQH'SCHOOI: . r1317: HE EAST NIGHT HIGH SCHOOL has one department entirely de- T voted to practical education along industrial lines. This industrial work is along the same line as courses offered in trade schools. However, it does not seek to teach trades 0r vocations. It has groups of courses which give practical instruction in the various t occupations followed by its students. The object is to help the in- dividual enrolling in these courses to a better knowledge of materials and tech- nical processes used in his work. Every teacher in the industrial work must be a well trained man or woman because these teachers become companions to their students. They must not only impartknowledge of the special subject which they teach, but lend to the general education as well. The students of the industrial classes are from many occupations. Among them will be found apprentices, teachers, lawyers, college students and men at every trade and profession. Each has a different end in view in taking these courses. It therefore makes the teaching entirely individual. From the foregoing the idea has been given that the courses are very general. This is the case if the student so desires, but the practical is there as well. A student graduated from the four years course in machine drawing in June. 1915. Six months after graduation this young man became chief draftsman to one of the largest manufacturers of railroad stand-pipe valves in Cincinnati. The courses offered are all four-year courses, pursued four hours per week for twenty-two weeks per yea r. They are in mechanical drawing, machine shop prac- tice, cabinet-making, shop mathematics pattern making, veneering. foundry, h'ouse-framing, architectural drawing and wood-turning. This year there is a marked increase in the number of graduates over prev- ious years. For the first time the machine shop and cabinet-making classes have had graduates. The following industrial students have received diplomas for their earnest- ness and proficiency: Cabinet Making -- Machine Drawing e J ohn Murphy Frank Puls Machine Shop e Chas. C. Kaye Earl Martin Earl Mueller James Hauch Leroy Harlin Herman Wessel Gordan Clelnus e125e The Supper-Cooking Class. SUALLY the stronger sex is accused of being given the preference, but there is one thing in which the girls of East Night have the ad- vantage of the boys. While those young men who cannot go home for their supper find it necessary to eat in a down-town restaurant, the girls get a far better, more wholesome and cheaper meal in the supper-cooking classes here at school. The classes are usually divided into two groupsii those who come on Mon- day and Wednesday and those who come on Tuesday and Thursday evening; but any girl may attend all 01' only one of these classes a week, provided she enrolls accordingly. Miss Moorinan has charge of the Tuesday evening class, and 011 Thursdayr Miss Moorman and her assistant, Miss Hohson, teach. On Monday and Wednes- day evenings Miss Landnian has charge of the classes. The girls come to school at about 5:30 oiclock. cook their supper, eat it and wash the dishes, then they go up to their respective rooms, usually being in their rooms when the first bell rings. The average number 'of girls attending is twenty or over and the average cost of supper is fifteen cents for each. The following is a menu, selected at randoxm which we obtained for less than fifteen cents. Roast Beef Peas and Carrots Cole Slaw Browned Potatoes Hot Biscuits Lemon Pie Coffee Words cannot express our appreciation for the boon thus conferred on us. It gives us an opportunity of learning domestic science in the true sense of the word, under competent teachers; gives us an opportunity to make the best pos- sible use of our time between work and school hours, and it gives us a good, sub- stantial, wholesome meal at cost price, and, last but not least, it brings us into closer sympathy with each other.

IIE SNjT the music just splendidttt ttI had the best timelii These and similar exelamations were frequently heard at the socials of East I Night, and Why shouldnT they be heard? The pupils of East Night and their friends are all sociable, for they believe in the proverb: I lmmnmmn mun ; ttGo toft to the house of thy friend, for weeds choke up the unused paths? A genuine feeling of good fellowship always pervades the atmosphere at an East Night affair. The success of the first danee, given on Friday, December the first, augured well for the coming events, both socially and financially. It was the first ttget together dance of the season and many old friends who had probably not seen each other since June, were glad to meet again. Many new friendShips were also formed. llllIllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllltl lltllllHllllllllllllllllllllll Every one commended the work of the committee, which was certainly praiseworthy. The committee consisted of : Misses Spelbrink, Alice Purcell, Wettlin, Niehaus, Boyd, Wiebe and Condon. Messrs Baunlering, S. Schwartz, Potter, Hucke, Fessenden, Gert and Lieben- rood. Encouraged by the results of the first dance, our president planned a Wash- ington Social, to take place on February the twenty-fourth. All preparations were made for this tteventt, when 10! some one remembered that it would be the first week of Lent. So it was up to the committee to do their best during the short time that was left them and make arrangements and announcements for the seventeenth of F ebruary. This was done within a weeks time and the dance proved a success. COMMITTEE: Misses Taske, Striker, N. Pursell and Krumenacker. , Messrs. Hoffman, Schlarman, White. Hennegan, Sehmal, Tobin, Pillen, Kling- enberg, Patrueof, Zielinski and Itkof. Now came the last dance of the yeara the Post-Lenten Social. After two months of close application and self-denial everybody was ready and waiting for this-affair. It was announced at an early date and the committee worked un- ceasingly for weeks. The. prosperous termination of this social far surpassed all expectations. COMMITTEE: Misses Uchtman, Zeligs, Harbaugh, Wolf, Ruths and Sullivan. Messrs. Sands, Wermes, Carmichael, Slutsky.

Young, Schmal, Gert, Hucke, Pillen, Fledderinan and A. J. Martin. On Thursday, May the seventeenth, the Seniors were the guests of lhe Night High School Alumni Association at a dance given in their honor. The atfair was a most delightful one and all the Seniors went away vowing that they would surely join an organization in which such good fellowship and hearty interest in the welfare of the night school student was shown. Another affair which will be the subject of many a pleasant reminiscence of those who were fortunate enough to attend was the B-A Reception, at which the Juniors entertained the Seniors at the Mansion on May the nineteenth. It showed not only the friendly spirit of the Juniors towards the Seniors, but also the ability of its members as an organized body, to do the work which awaits them next year. COMMITTEE: Misses Wilson, Sehenk, Schilling and Kloepfer. Messrs. Thurman, Bayer, Thelen, Reps and Goepp. There is still another event to which we are looking forward and that is the school picnic at Coney Island. Somehow a picnic outdoors is always enjoyed by everybody.

For the past few years East Night has been well represented on the track, her teams ranking among the best in this vicinity. This yearas team was no ex- ception, for it proved just as formidable to its opponents as all our teams of the past few years have been. lllllIlllllllllllllllllllllll THANKSGIVING DAY CROSS-COUNTRY RUN. Herbert Kettenaeker, our star representa- tive for the past three years in the Annual Y. M. C. A. Thanksgiving Day Race, once more brought the colors of the Blue and Orange to prominence by attaining fourth place in this event. This was quite a victory for East Night, as our representative came in among the first four in spite of the handi- cap placed upon him on account of his vic- tory of the previous year. Y. M. C. A. CARNIVAL. The tenth annual indoor meet of the Y. M. C. A. Athletic Club, held February 10, 1917, at the Armory, added additional lau- rels to the wearers of the Blue and Orange. East Night gave a good account of itself on tEis occasion, as the following records 5 0w: SENIOR INTEBSCHOLASTIC EVENTS. Fifty-Yard Dash v- Second place won by Arthur Fratz.

The splendid showing of our Juniors on this occasion augurs well for the future success of East Night on the track. M. Fox, M. Mark, M. Michelson, C. Sonnecalf, Frank Burbige and Frank Naberhaus composed the team. NIGHT HIGH SCHOOL RELAY. As we all very well know, great rivalry exists between the East and West Night athletes, and, in as much as we were deprived of the opportunity of combat- ting with our rivals in the annual Thanksgiving Day football game, we took ad- vantage of the opportunity which the Night High School Relay oit'ercd to gain our annual victory over West Night, thus making it three straight victories for East Night over her rivals and also eliminating all doubt as to the superiority of our athletes. The victorious team was made up of Ralph Russell, Fred Weick, Russell White and Harold Reed. FUTURE EVENTS. In the Tri-state meet, to he held at Miami University in May, several of the boys will journey to Oxford to represent East Night High School. Here they will compete with the best athletes from high schools of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky. The University of Cincinnati meet, to be held some time in May, will also fur- nish an opportunity to a number of East Night athletes to show their prowess. Our boys were a prominent factor in both of these meets last year, and should do even better this year. Qumrm. mg 8mg FOOTBALL ;- -- , - OT long after the opening of school the usual football enthusiasm made itself manifest at East Night and every one looked forward to a con- tinuance of the success of previous teams, nor we1e they disappointed. When the bugle was sounded for volunteers to serve in the ranks of East Night High School F ootball Army, the call was promptly and gener- ously responded to by a regiment of stalwart young warriors, eager and ready for a hard and strenuous campaign. Popular ttFritz', Schneeberger served in the capacity of Captain and Coach. After a few preliminary practice serimmages and workouts under the able coaching of Captain Schneeherger, the men pronounced themselves ready to follow their leaders against the strongest foes, barring none. A schedule of games was arranged with the best teams of Cincinnati and vicinity, among them being, Madisnnville Omars, Lockland, De- Sales, Oakley Tigers, Mercury, and Middletown. In many of the games our boys were greatly outweighed, but undaunted by this and other handicaps which confronted them, and with the spirit of East Night to back them up on all occasions, they fought their battles to the best of their ability in true East Night fashion To show with what fierceness some of the battles xx ere waged we need only to mention the fact that three of the games resulted in a draw, while the balance were all decided by a close margin. THANKSGIVING DAY GAME. Through an unfortunate misunderstanding the annual East Night vs. West Night Thanksgiving Day game was not played. Inasmuch as West Night could not be booked for this important date it was quite natural that we should hook the Oakley Tigers, who rank next to West Night in so far as our football rivals are concerned. A detailed newspaper account of the game is given below: OAKLEY TIGERS 12H EAST NIGHT HIGH 12. The Oakley Tigers and East Night High fought one of the greatest football games ever played at Oakley yesterday. The teams were very evenly matched, and the contest was nip and tuck throughout, and ended 12 to 12. Maham and Hartman played a great game. The Tigers star tackle, Storm, substituting for Anderson at end, received a broken collar bone after playing a splendid game Fratz was the big noise for East Night, and the following also deserve mention: Scheenherger, Bukin, Pryor and the great quarter, Both The line P OAKLEY TIGERS.

On this occasion the boys were accompanied by Rukints Marine Band, which led a parade of East Night meters from the station to the scene of action. The game was hotly contested and finally ended With East Night on the short end of a 12 t0 6 score. This day will long be remembered by the rooters who accomp- anied the team and the echoes of the yells, songs and music are still ringing in their ears. Armin Schmal and Alma Spelbrink, our able cheer leaders, were a tower of strength to the team. With their magnetic voices and strange maneuvers they took the lead in yells and songs and stirred up enthusiasm among the vast throng of loyal East Night rooters who turned out at each game in al- most as great a number as the routers for the home team. Special mention must be made of Captain Schneeberger, who by his sterl- ing and almost superhuman playing, was responsible for most of the good showing of this year's team. His splendid playing won for him the position of end 'on the All-Cincinnati team, this being the first time that any day or night high school player has ever achieved this honor. No one who witnessed any of the games in which Freddie participated would deny that he is undoubt- edly one of the best football players produced in Cincinnati last year, and he will go down in East Night history as one of her greatest football stars.

Rehearsals have been held each Tuesday and quite 'often it was necessary to call an extra rehearsal. All of our members have been very active and c00perated in everything that the club has undertaken. In October try out was held and about seventy-five registered. About twenty-six were chosen from the contestants. In January, it was decided that we should hold another :ttry-'out,, in order to admit more members to our club. We had about thirty applicants, and ten of these were chosen. The first play we gave was entitled ttThe Jonah Rehearsals were held reg- ularly as the play was the most difficult we had ever given. Evelybody worked diligently and under the direction of M121 011g, this most amusing comedy was given befo1e the school in December,1916. Owing to the fact that it was such an immense cthitt, we were asked to give it for the Night High School Alumni on April the twenty-first. On March 17th, 1917, a St. Patricks celebration was held at the residence of Miss Margaret Boex, and this was indeed a great function. We are safe in saying that it was the best gsget togetherit meeting that has ever been held in the history of the club. 111 Febluary, a committee was chosen to select another play, xx h1ch was to be given before the school at the closing night in May. The play chosen was tiThe Eastsiders. Everne did justice to his part and it was considered a success by all who saw it.

East Night's Ministrel Show. onoono N Friday evening, April the twentieth, the Senior boys of East 9 Night High School produced their first minstrel show. A large Q audience of students and their friends enthusiastically greeted c the players at the rise of the curtain. At the conclusion of the c opening chorus, which was carried with a vim that would have Iwuuvuo done credit to the organization of a Primrose or a Dockstader, the audience settled down to an evening of unconnnon fun and delight. The solos were handled superbly and the chorus was all that could have been desired. The comedians were there in full darktown splendor and their effervescing humor and really funny jokes scintillated throughout the evening. The performance closed with two recitations and a short sketch by pupils from the Norwood School 'of Expression. Great credit is due Mr. L. E. Young, Mr. Gert and their faithful assistants for the successful termination of this undertaking. e145F- Program Ministrel Show. FIRST PART INTERLOCUTOR, NAT VVAINER END MEN Albert P.

HE interest shown by the student body in debating was never more pro- nounced than at the meeting of our two school teams on March 29, 1917, at which time compulsory military service in the United States was again discussed. Messrs. Louis Reinhold, Eli Cohan and Edward Moeller tried in vain to sustain the amrmitive 0f the issue against their more success- . 1. 2 ful opponents, Messrs. Bernard Kluber, Howard Wilson and Henry Thur- man. This same subject was to have been debated with Hughes, but owing to the serious- ness of the international c1isis, it was sug vested by our opponents that under the cir- cumstances, it would be unfair to East Night. By mutual agreement between the two schools it was finally agreed to cancel the debate. We regret that our limited time made it im- possible for us to debate with a school which displayed such sportsmanship as Hughes did, but we are pleased to know that next year the opportuhity will again arise. Through the untiring efforts of our principal Mr. Schwartz, and our coach, Mr. Long, East Night High School has at last come into its own in debating and has been recognized by the Board of Education and Superintendent Condon. Owing to our success in the past in this line of work, the Superintendent of Schools has placed us on an equal footing with the day high schools in the matter of debating. We are to compete for a cup which will he presented by The Harvard Club of Cincinnati to that high school in Cincinnati which wins the interschoiastic debate for three years. The Superintendent has selected a committee of three to formulate plans and regula- tions for future debates and it is the further duty of the committee to arrange the subject to be debated upon each year. Out of the faculties of the eight high schools it is gratifying to know that Mr. Long was appointed one of the committee. The work has just begun. It is the duty of every student of East Night to support Mr. Long by trying out for debating. If we wish our School to remain in its present high position in this field of school activity, we must do our share. Students in the D and C Grades are especially urged to come out for this work. Here is a splendid opportunity to acquire training which will be invaluable and to do something for the cause of dear old East Night. HENRY THURMAN, i18. -- 147 - mac 22:8 148 The Forum Club. 094-9904 HE first club devoting itself to debating and public speaking at East Night, was founded by Messrs. Kluber, McCarthy, Cohan, Rein- ct E l I t 3 hold, Mueller, Hicks and Ighrison. c f. Shortly after the beginning of the school year, oilicers were elected, a constitution drawn up, and the club settled drown to Guava. carry on its work. The program consisted of talks, debates and open discussions on various questions, such as Prohibition, Government-Owned Merchant Marine, Capital Punishment, The National Guard, Adamson Eight? Hour Bill and Burnett Immigration Bill, all Of which proved very interesting to the members, who showed a desire to be informed on subjects of eurrentinterest. While the time spent in preparation was an added burden to the members already well occupied with the'regular work of the school, yet they feel that it was time well spent. Taking into consideration that no regular debating club has been conducted at East Night previous to this year, and also that but few of the members had had debating experience before, the Club feels that it has concluded its first yearis work very successfully. This conviction is supported by the fact that all those who qualified for East Nightis first and second teams under the direction of Mr. Bert H. Long, are members of the Forum Club. We close with the prediction that The Forum Club will be a material assist- ance to East Night in her efforts to win the Harvard Trophy in the debating eon- test next year. MEMBERS.

OFFICERS. L. E. YOUNG, President J . P. KUYPER, Secretary H. GERT, Vice-President T. A. MARTIN, Treasurer . NTHUSED by the idea of conducting Social affairs during the year, .h the boys of A Grade met early and formed a club. The main pur- pose of the organization was to raise funds to cover the expense of Publishing the Annual and to provide a field for outside ac- tivities for the boys. On April the twentie th, a very successful minstrel show was given. All the latest songs were sung and the jokes and antics of the end men kept the audience in one continuous roar. After the minstrel performance, several recitations and a sketch by members of local dramatic schools were offered. The entire performance was highly entertaining and pleasing. On May the twenty-first the big event of the year took place. The steamer Island Queen had been chartered for the second annual Moonlight Boat-ride. Every one had the time of his life. The minstrels performed on each deck, and Hoferts Orchestra furnished the dance music in the ball room. The intention is to continue the Club after the present school year, as a per- manent organization and to carry the banner of East Night High at all of the affairs in the coming years. J ERRY P. KUYPER, Secretary. e151- MEAD EMQZNBQMm 152... iiSeptendem Clubi May there be none, who e,er shall say We sought the road to fame Good fellowship, cooperation Septendemts honest aim. N the midst of toiling and striving of night school work there sprang into existence :1 club, whose sole purpose, as set forth in its Constitution, was ttTo promote class-fellowship, cooperation and social activity? It is not to be supposed, however, that no attention was paid to correct parli- mentary proceedings in the matter of conducting the meetings. In fact, a t , special effort was made to school the members along these important lines. Debates on methods of procedure were oftentimes in evidence and frequent resort to the ttrule hookh was had. The club is none other than the Septendem Club, which was organized last October by some of the enthusiastic members of 17. This club certainly held some lively meetings and the active spirit of the members never waned whether the subject under discussion was where to hike, or what to eat. Different Septendem affairs given have been voted a success by all who attended. A hike was planned for Sunday March 181b, and it seemed that all the elements of nature were trying to work against it, as the wind howled fiercely through the trees and snow ilew in great tlurries, but a spirit as undaunted as Septendemts is not easily dismayed. A large crowd turned out. The hikers, this day, viewed the ruins left by the tornado in the neighborhood of Ault Park. On Sunday, April 15th, the club walked to Eden Park. They not only tthikedtt this day, but climbed steps as well, for Septendemts natural tendency has always been to rise, so of course, they didntt mind the steps. If you didntt attend this hike you missed a genuine good time. Everybody was in his or her most jolly mood and the president himself said he never laughed so hard for many a day. Some of the members held a theatre party at the Grand during the winter, which was enjoyed to the utmost. Looking back we recall the dance in January at a private hall, another exceedingly en- joyable affair. Several informal dances were given Thursday evenings after school. These were always very lively affairs and, even if you were tired, it paid to stay. To wind up this years activities a boat-ride Will be given on the river some time in June, just preceding graduation. An exceptionally fine time is looked forward to. They say ttAnticipation is greater than realization? but every good rule has an exception. In this case, although much is anticipated, we know the realization Will not fall short. No more can be said of the future, only that the club intends to continue its work and, if we can judge the future by the past there are, in store, many interesting meetings and pleasant socials. The following are the officers of the club: W. J. SCHRIMP, President CARL KLINGENBEBG, Vice-President NELLIE SULLIVAN, Secretary JOE WOESTE, Treasurer Besides the above are the following members: Wm.

At that time a number of students met and f ormed an organization for the purpose of intellectual develop ment, and for the promotion of mutual friendship. During the year f requent meetings were held, which were suc- cessfully conducted. Numerous recitations were presented by mem- bers of the club and many debates were held. Our social gatherings were as suc- cessful as the literary. That the members were perfectly satisfied with the work of our club was shown at the end of the year, when it was decided, unanimously, to continue our meetings. Much credit for the success of the club is due our former president, Miss Krumenaeker, whose energy seems to be inexhailstible. It is chiefly-owing to her inspiring leadership that the club has justified its name. At the beginning of our Senior year we met again and. re-organized the club. New members joined our ranks. These coaperating with the old ones, have brought up the club to its present high standard. Another feature of literary en- deavor was introduced in the form of discussion of current events. This proved to be very interesting, as meetings 'of such kind were largely attended. Our soc- ial meetings possessed a more lively character than ever before. In short, our club progresses in every respect. ELI ZUCKERMAN. CHAS. H.

Our club was organized at the beginning of our Junior year and was confined principally to those students who chose Spanish as their foreign language. Our purpose was the desire to foster, in diverse ways, the friendships of our school days. Our aims were more than fully realized and it is with regret that we leave our East Night Hi h. g Our activities were almost exclusively along social lines. The fine congenial spirit which was ever in evidence at our numerous social affairs, will always be a source of pleasant memories when, in the dim and distant tomorrow, the eye of retrospect inevitably wanders across the span of time to the happy associations of East Night.
