Deuglas Fairbanks with his winning smile has an unknown rival in Art, whom we have known at East Night for the past three years.

Here's luck to you, Carl. CLARK, WILLIAM May Dance Committee. iiHe due: well who does his hat. Being very unassuming, we did not hear much of Bill outside of his good work in his studies. He tells us that his intentions are to become a lawyer, and our best wishes for his success attend him.

George has been faithful in his studies and attendance throughout his. entire academic career. He has also been active in all school affairs. As for notions, George has all kinds. He is connected with a large dryhgoods firm as salesman, and we do not doubt but that some day he will beacme a ktmerchant prince. ECKERT, WALTER May Dance Committee. I! wise head and a. silent tongug are companions. Knowing that East Night is the best place to get a good running start for U. C., Walter joined us last fall. He is now on the way to the University to pre- pare to be a mechanical engineer. Success be with you, Walter. FENDER, FLORA Essay Contest; President, P. A. 1...; S. A. 9.; Prc-Lsntzn Dance Committee. Size is a maiden gentle and kind, whom modaty, Her greatest charm, Jellies on others like a great calm.

HALLER, CONRAD May Dance Committee. iin's words were sized :qfter Than leavesfram'the pine. Conrad, optimistic and good-natured, has been with us four years. We wonh dered at times why he was so Conspicuous by his absence from school activities. We found that he was engaged in a serious courtship, which inevitably took all his spare time. He later entered into a blissful matrimonial career. Congratu- lations are a bit late, Conrad, but as the proverb states, iiBetter late than never. iiN'est-ce pas P - 26 ' HEILE, CYRIL Enson Club; Forum Debating Club; E. N. A.

She is a true East Nighter, as is well proven by the deep interest she takes in all school activ- ities. She has applied herself diligently to her studies, as her class standing shows. We hope to hear more of Anna when she has attained her ambition in dentistry. HILL; MARY Benithi Club; May Dante Committee. A Jweeter-tempered lass, I now, 7 You?! never, never meet!

Huglfs cheerful disposition and gentlemanly manners will always be recalled by his classmates. He has not taken an active part in school socmls, but has applied himself to his studies. His recitations in English could not be excelled. As a prospective U. C. candidate, we are confident that he will some day be a Professor of English. v HOFFMANN, MILDRED Class Essayjst; S. A. Q. llHerface ix like the milky way in the sky; A meeting qf gentle Zighi: without a name. One of our more quiet although quite active girls is Mildred, who came to us in our senior year, using E. N. H. as a stepping stone to U. C. Her future is un- knownto us, but we wish her luck In Whatever she may choose. ITKOF, JACOB Humor Editor; Oratori'cal Contest; Enson Club; E. N.IA. A.; January Dance Committee. HBetter late than never? We can truthfully say that Jake is one of our hustlers. We often wonder where he learned his wooing propensities, often so fatal to the career of a young man. However, we think that we can trust him to make a way for himself, as his record for the past four years at East Night has shown. So far, no new addi- . tions appear on the register of the license clerk. 28 JUNGKIND, ALFRED Enson Club; May Dance Committee. l'Thefarce qf his own merit works 11f: way.

Let us know when you give your first concert at Music Hall, for we shall all want tickets for the first row. KRONAGE, LILY Literary Editor; 8. A. G. Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep andyau weep alone. Lily is as sweet and attractive as her name signifies. Smile and the world will smile With you is her belief, and we agree with her.

Here's hoping the crystal is showing the truth for your future. 31 MCGEHEAN, ROBERT Enson Club; E. N. A. A.; Boat Ride Committee; Football Team; Captain, Baseball Team. Every man has 121': fault and honeJty is him. Although Bob has been With us only one year, he has made himself popular with the fair sex already. We understand that he intends to complete his studies at U. C., and is preparing to be one of the worlds falmous chemISts some day. MCGILL, WILLIAM Literary Editor; President, Enson Club; Chairman, Football Committee; January Dance Committee; Boat Ride Committee.

N. H. S. Bill does not tell us what he intends to do in the future, but We do know one thing, i. e., that the wedding bells will soon ring for him. Congratulations are in order, boys.

A great deal came to us when, in 1915, Martin started to East Night. In- deed, sinceethat time there has been muehmore in our class. He is quiet and studious, devoting all his time to his studies, in which he ranks among the best. Music is quite a hobby with him, and he surely is some pianist. Martin is preparing himself for Harvard. Some day old John Harvard will be as proud of you as we are, Martin. OlBRIEN, ROBERT Orchestra; May Dance Committee. llTIzey are never alone that are accompanied with 720513 thoughts? Bob has been with us four years. He's full of fun and likes a good time, but does not'let that interfere with his school work. His saxophone playing in the orchestra has been quite a help. It takes the Irish to furnish the noise. The law will gain a. valuable exponent when O,Brien enters that profession. PARROT, OLIVE E. S. A. Q; Pin Committee; May Dance Committee. 51 perfect woman 710513: planned?

Keep on smiling, Olive, and you will win the world as you have us. ' 34 PELLMAN, HILDA S. A. 9.; Pre-Lenten Dance Committee. Sweet thought: are mirrored in Iterfczce, rind every motion is a grace.

The previous years were spent with the Class of I18, but Daddy anSWered the call of Uncle Sam and did not return until January, 1919 His wonderful accomplishments in behalf of East Night and of the Class of ,19 were many, far too many to enumerate. We wonh: have to make any predictions as to his future, because, you know, a good rooster crows anywhere. 36 ROBERTS, LAURETTA S. A. 9.; May Dance Committee. Let her :peak, and whatever she my Methinks I should love her the more? Laurette has been at East Night only one year, but she is one of our regular girls-fond of dancing 'n' everything. She will noidoubt continue her studies at U. C., and we are satisfied that some day her highest ambitions will be realized. RODOCKER, ALICE Forum Debating Club. My true lays hath my heart and I have hi5. Behold our accomplished pianist and teacher of piano. Alice has spent four years with us. She aims to make a name for herself in music and will attain her ambition, for she is a conscientious and persistent worker. But we would suggest in a friendly way, Alice, that you discontinue the study of music and take a course in Home Economics.

Bill has been with us three greats, during which time he has worked incessantly for the good of East Night and the Class of '19. His work has been exceptionally well done, notwithstanding the many outside activities which require his attention. His work in connection with the Annual Staff has been of the highest order. He always has a smile for everyone, particularly for the fair sex. Bill is preparing to study medicine, and we feel sure that within a few years he will be one of Cincinnati's most skillful Surgeons. Good luck, Bill. 37 ROSEN, LEON Enson Club; Forum Debating Team. Men qffew word: are the best men? Leon has attended East Night four years.

Four years she has studied and played with Class ,19, and her work has certainly been satisfactory. In our social affairs we would find it hard to get along without Edna. Her lifework has been under discussion for some time. We have persuaded her to change from her hrst planned career and to go Kl over the top at U. C. At any rate, we feel confident that whatever goal she sets for herself, she will reach. SCHRIMPER, MAY Literary Editor; Essay Contest; Class Secretary; P. A. L.; S. A. 9.; Dramatic Club.

With Tom's geniality and capacity for work, we know the laurels will be his when his goal is reached; En the 011mm uf 1919 HE teachers of the East Night High School are pleased to record in the pages of the R054 trum, their appreciation of the many merits of the present graduating class. No class has labored under greater difliculties than has this one. The war, which withdrew so many of the boys for military service, thus diminishing its numbers, also very materially increased the burdens of others engaged in civil positions so that it became hard to find time for study. The epidemics, too, by interrupting the continuity of work and by slowing down momentum, tended to seriously hamper class progress and activities. In spite of these diHiculties, the present class with admirable spirit, has triumphed over all obstacles and has come to the close of its high school career with a record for achievement in scholarship and in participation in class and school activities second to none. The delightful attitude of the class toward teachersa and assigned tasks deserves more than ordinary commendation. Never have relations been more pleasant and congenial. Teachers, like students, sometimes find school work at night trying and diH-icult, and therefore are sensitive to the attitude of pupils. It is thus with deep gratitude that they express their appreciation to the members of this class for its enthusiasm and good will. In conclusion, and in view of all the sterling qualities made evident by the members of the Class of 1919, it may safely be predicted that the future will see many of its numbers among the prominent and useful citizens of our city.

It was between tears and laughter, gloom and joy, that our history was written, for it was made throughout the same years that the World War engraved upon the world a new history acceptable to all peoples. Well can we recall the first night, yea, the freshman year of 1915-1916, when as volunteer recruits, the only kind East Night ever wanted, we besieged the walls of E. N. H. S. in overwhelming numbers. Gaining admission, we were satisfied to enter its sacred portals, unobtrusive and reticent, retiring immediately to those rookiell D Grade classrooms assigned us, there to begin our march to the mountains of learning. The ways seemed long and unending, but reso- lute of purpose, we retraeed our steps each night, until in June, I916, we were pronounced accomplished men and 46 women in the school of night school soldiers, and were transferred to the sophomore ranks. While some of our comrades fell by the wayside, wounded by the shots of pessimism, we were still strong enough to attack the work of the C Grade, and to make for the next hillJ for we were hardened to our nightly hikes and drills andJ felt confident and capable of great enterprises. Despite the fact that the fighting was more intense, we carried our banner high and planted 1t 0n Mound B. Now no more the retiring and reserved rookie of two years ago, but non-coms who know and understand how to lead men we came out of our dugours and engaged in open warfare. The cannonading was heavv, and all around us gas bombs of gloom, grenades of fatigue, and a barrage of de- spair greeted us, but we pushed on the attack lasting nine months We battered down the gates and gained the strong- hold A, and were decorated in June, 1918, for our noble work with the Croix de Senior. While continuing the drive under flying colors, ever driving back the enemy of unrest and discontent, we received an unexpected, almost deadly blow from InHuenza, an enemy almost unknown to man. Our ranks were depleted, but, not losing sight of our goal, we gathered together our scattered forces and with renewed eHort and at double time we made a nine monthsi march in six months, overcame the enemy, and' Broclaimed to the world that we were victorious and that the World, because of our presence, was a much better place in which to live. Notwithstanding the fact that our fight for education was carried on during a most extraordinary time of conHict, bloodshed, and sacrifices, we did not neglect to do our duty and we stood by our great and glorious country during her trials and needs. The students of East Night High School realized the importance of lldoing their bit. Many of our comrades left our ranks and joined those of Uncle Sam and served in one of the many branches of his army, navy, or marine corps. A number of these have returned since the signing of the armistice, but there are others who cannot return to our society, having given up their lives in the cause of humanity and are numbered amongst the laurel crowned martyrs of these United States of America. The balance of our class, who remained at home, not because of their own volition, did their duty and more, too. They continued at their books, knowing that by education they could serve better. During the day they engaged in tasks of all kinds to further and promulgate democracyls ideals. The young ladies, too, worked unceasingly with their knitting needles, knitting articles of comfort for the boys Over There. Uncle Sam is also proud of the East Nighters for their hearty response to his calls for aid in putting his five big Liberty Loans uOver the Top. Not only did they lend until it hurt in the Liberty Loans, but the War Savings Stamps campaigns and the War Chest and Red Cross drives saw them always in the lead. When the boys came marching home, ,19 was right in front to welcome them with a smile, a cheer, and open arms. We, however, smiled through all these trials and hard- ships, and even found time to engage in social warfare. We took the city by storm with our Annual Dance on January the thirty-lirst, attracting the largest crowd that ever attended a dance at Danceland. The Pre-Lenten Dance, the Annual Boat Ride, and our last dance of the season were no less than social victories. In conclusion, we write ntinis to our history with a satisfaction that we have spent the four most profitable years of our lives at E. N. H. S., and hope that we have proven a credit to our teachers, East Night High School, our municipality, and our country. As we stand at the parting of the ways, -we take a last glance through tear- bedimmed eyes, turn over the key of East Night to the Class of do with the hope that it will follow in our foot- steps. We give each a hearty handclasp with best wishes for continued success, and go our way alone. Time will find all of the Class of ,19 upon the pinnacle of success. If we meet not face to face, then we shall meet through the spirit of asSociations, ever renewed with a perusal of the pages of this ROSTRUM and the pleasant recollections found only in the lines of our history.

Following her were Waits, Heile, Wrigley, and Slutsky, all anxious to attend The ButterHy's Ball. Just then the uBronze BellH began to toll and a great crowd gathered to nThe Call of the Woods? Among the crowd I recognized ikThe Old Familiar Faces? In the center of the crowd was Margaret VVindisch, uThe Moon Goddess,,; surrounding her were Ethel Gross 'lThe Actress, Lillian Kronage The Sea Gypsy, Dick Meyer uThe Greenwich Pensioner, and Wells IIThe Smuggler. Sud- denly a great murmur came to my ear and I knew that it must be The Little Busybodies, Anna Hines, Ethel Davis, and Mildred Hoffman. They were rIShakesltieares and F airies in uThe Legend Beautiful? Pilderwasser, The Black Prince? was taking a leading part in this lav. P From a distance could be heard IIThe Music Master, Marie Klingenburg, playing the Cradle Song, after which I fell into a sound sleep. Upon awakening in IIThe Land of Story Books, I came to uThe Homestead On the Hillside and looking Through the Window? I saw Mrs. Taylor 0136 Alice Rodackery busily arranging uButtercups and Daisies,, on the dining- room table. Out In the GardenI, were nThe Press Gang, Taylor, IIDick Costello, O,Brien, and McGill. All were eagerly discussing that Lochinvar Rodenburg was wooing uThe Lady of Shalott, Edna Schmidt. I sat down to rest uUnder the Greenwood TreeH and there my mind wandered Home Thoughts from Abroad. I was once again at the door of IIThe Inn. Standing at the gate with her iIHand 0n the Latch was Flora Fender, busily chatting with Homean, mThe Little Minister. 49 Entering II The Inn I ran across Chalk, IIA Young Man in a Hurry, so I started out with him to see the sights. In IIThe Sands of the Dee we saw 'IEd Siegler, the Bach- elor, dreaming of IIThe Maid, Lauretta Roberts. Out ItUnder the Clouds, stood uThe Big Fellowf' uDaddy Reinhold, surrounded by an admiring group, consisting of Olive Parrot, l IIhe Nightingale, Bessie KIcDonough, IiThe Sailore Wife,U Deluse, uThe Merchant, and Mary Brackett, Highland Mary? At the Mid Hour of Night we chanced upon Phyllis Douglas, the Highland Giri of Inversneydef, entertaining Itkof, the IIJock of Hazeldean, On the CastIe 0f Chillon. In the courtyard surrounding IIThe Bridge of SighsII were Schumaker dreaming The Poet's Dreamf Irene Mohr iIElizabeth of Bohemia, Bernice Leeker HLord Ullin,s Daughter, and Messler The Scholar. Down along uThe Bank of the River we heard Borcher- ding, who was masquerading as iIThe Servant in the House of the WYayfarers. There was a fascinated group seated around him in a circle. Among them were Hilda Pellman the IIOne Woman, May Schrimper A Rose of Savoy, and Wanda Taylor HThe Fairest 0f the Fair. We did not stop, however, and farther along the road we met Doarman The Naval Hero and Lipschitz HThe Eternal Boy, with a Blue Bird perched on his finger. Coming towards us through the uWoodlands in a hot debate were Harry Schwartz and Ammon. They decided to have Florence Schwartz as their ChaperoneII and to try A Tramp Abroad. At a IIBugle Call on the nSilver Trumpet I awoke to find myself lying in my den with the hot sun striking my face. I picked up my French book from where I left it before I entered dreamland and resumed once more my studying. ROSE BLOOM, '19. QQQQQ SERVICE nnnnn OYALTY to God and country has been newly inspired in our souls. This new inspiraa tion is the desire to carry exalted ideals of service into the new life .of the new world. We feel that we must render a great service, dis- charge a great duty, and act .in a way consistent with the highest ideals of national destiny. All of our physical resources, our genius of government, our moral heroism must be dedicated to the welfare of a world born of the battle- iields of the Great War. To serve God now means to serve the world; to serve oneis country now means to discharge its duties to a world that looks to it for guidance. This new world into Which we have been born demands a new education. Men and women must be prepared as before for the production of the things of commerce. Far more important, men and women must be trained in the thinking that is world-wide in its scope. There must- be an education that will widen the circle of our hearfs syme pathies. There must be an education that will view jus- tice from the vantage point of the common good. This education will not be selfish but will seek the welfare of all nations. We rejoice to-night that we have made some progress in this new education. We have felt the need of personal improvement and have, during the past four years striven to prepare ourselves to play our parts well on the new stage 50 3-. of life. The spirit of service is to be the spirit of our act. This spirit shines forth from the modest, seIf-made man, Lincoln, in these words spoken to a regiment of volunteers: tiI happen, temporarily, to occupy this White House. I am a living witness that one of your children may come here as my fathefs child has. It is in order that each of you may have, through this free Government which we have enjoyed, an open field and a fair chance for your industry, enterprise, and intelligence; that you may have equal privileges in the race of life, with all its desirable human'aspirations. It is for this the struggle should be maintained.n Life,s purposes are more clearly and defi- nitely discerned and its dangers more easily avoided by this practical lesson, and in sympathy with such ideals, ours, like Lincolnis, are of a higher and nobler purpose. The object of our ambitious education is to serve. Service, Webster says, i'is the performance of labor for the benefit of another? Our neighbor, the whole ma- terial universe, is ever engaged in mutual service. There are, however, two kinds of service. The one has for its pur- pose immediate compensation and gain alone. This is the service that predominates in the world markets of to-day. It is bartered as were the slaves, being bought by the highest bidder. Those who prove the most efficient receive the price. What physician do you call when you are ill? What lawyer do you seek when in need of legal advice? What politician and statesman receives your support? It is not the one who carries the name alone, but he who through his intellectual power has been able to accomplish the great things in life and has done what others believed impossible. Bl: the services of these end when the compensation en 5. The other kind of service is that which commands the admiration and gratitude of the highest authorities, and merits and elicits unprecedented distinction and whole- souled commendation of the whole. world. Such was the service given by Franklin, Morse, Bell, Edison, Wright, and other geniuses. And we cannot lose sight of the labors of Washington and his honorable colleagues, who, through their power and initiative, established this, the greatest nation of all nations. Personal benefits were least in their minds. T heir trials and hardships gave them inspiration instead of despair, and they carried to victory their purpose to serve you and me, America forever. Shall our aims be less than these? Can we beselhsh and fail to continue to uphold the ideals of our most sacred Constitution, for a Government of the people, for the people, and by the people? Never before 111 the history of America was there a time when there was such 1mperative demand upon the electorate for clear, unimpassioned thinking. The people of the United States were able to 'think for themselves, and ordained through liberty of thought, that richest pearl of life, that it was fitting and proper and that the time had come when they, too, must strike and serve the world and all generations to come This was the decision of an educated people. On April 6 1917, with that illustrious scholar diplomat, and statesman, Woodrow Wilson piloting the ship, we sailed, on and on, over a rough and stormy sea. With the services of all AmericanSeman, woman, and child alike willingly giving their all-ehe guided our ship of state to victory. The sacrifice was great,ar1d the cost cannot be estimated 111 dollars and cents, for-H 51 In Flanders Jieldr the poppie: grow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark eur plate, and in the Jky The lurks, still bravely 1ingz'ng,y9y, Scarce heard amid the gum below.

That they who laid down their lives and made the supreme sacrifice may sleep ttwo of whom should be with us here to-nighti, let us not forget the great services that they have done for their country, for us, and for humanity's sake for all time to come. Liberty would not have rung out again were it not for the labors and sacrifices of such as these. We who remain are appointed to advance and courage- ously safeguard the welLbeing and prosperity of our country. Therefore, let us all pick up new arms, the accoutrements of labor, for we stand to-day at the beginning of a tremendous forward movement. If we shall get from the world the suc- cess which we expect, we must serve and give it our all, for The profits most who serves best? Then may the future not have to lament that we neglected it. LOUIS G. REINHOLD, ,Ig. QQQ i l a l ! '1' A FLOWER OF FAITH Q Q Q 1......m-nu-un. HERE is a Hower in the garden of faith which blooms for everyone. We seek this flower as we seek for wisdom or for a hid- den treasure, and to keep it demands delicate care and thought. Those who find it truly make the most of life, for it is one of the worlds sweetest gifts. This flower, which blooms for all, is friendship. What is a friend? Everyone has his own conception of an ideal friend, and in the course of his life meets friendship in its various degrees. Friends vary from mere passing acquaint- ances to the ideal type that remain true blue. It depends upon ourselves, alone, whether or not we cultivate and are worthy to hold a friend who is an embodiment of our ideal. A friend is one in whom we have absolute faith and trust, and who possesses a like degree of faith and trust in us. In friendship, a heart that trusts is a safer guide than eyes that see. With a friend we may be sincere and speak aloud our thoughts. That friend feels pride in our accom- plishments, feels praise when we are praised, and is our inspiration to do better. The basis of an ideal friendship is broadmindedness. Ideal friendship cannot exist where that quality is lacking. Narrow-mindedness blocks the path to the realm of friend- ship. Often we hear someone remark: We cannot be friends. It is simply impossible for us to agree! friends do not agree with each other on all subjects, but acknowledge the right each has to his own opinion. One Real 52 of the qualities we admire in our friends is- their having minds of their own. Then why quarrel with theni when they exhibit a good characteristic? Give frank opinions and let them be taken for what they are worth. , .- True friends do not quarrel. Charles Kingsley tells the story of two hermit monks who lived in 'ielosest friendship for years and never a thought of envy or selhsh rivalry entered the mind of either. They Wished to try the experi- ment of a quarrel. How shall we quarrel? asked one. Oh? said the other, Hwe can take this brick, put it be- tween us and each claim it, then quarrel over it. This plan was agreed upon. KlThe brick is mine! said the one. uI hope it is mine! exclaimed the other, gently. llWell, if it is yours, take it, answered the one who never heard his friend express a wish for anything without a desire to secure it for him. Their quarrel was a failure because their friendship was not. Too often an individual idolizes a friend, overestimates that friends conscience, and fancy weaves around the friend a cloth of idolization. Then there comes a time when that individual realizes that the friend has his faults, the idol crumbles and leaves behind it the bare facts of reality and usually a heart disappointed forever in friend- ships. We do not want a friend who is a texture of dreams, but one who possesses a heart of reality. We seek the ideal. We admire the friend. nearest our ideal and love such a friend. Envy, distrust, and jealousy can-play no part against that friend, as friendship is an unselhsh affection for one whom we actually place in ad vance of us. We want our friends to love us as we are, and they believe that we in turn love them for their own sakes. If you love yout friends, you will make no attempt to reform them but. will overlook their faultsf A friend knoWs all about you but loves you just the same. The friend, who never scolds; never questiOns 0r reproves, who is always glad to see us, is one of the compensations of life. That friend is wholly unselfish in friendship. What kind of a friend are you? Can a true friend break a promise to another? Yes, but at what a sacrilicel He, who built faith on that promise, feels bewilderment and 1033, and his friendship is severely tested. If he trusts implicitly, he will understand that perhaps the reason for breaking the promise was stronger than the reason for making it. He who broke his promise must reEstablish his credit. Before the flower of faith can bloom again, new ground must be found, new seed be sown, and then the time abided for new howers to grow. The man whose word is as good as gold has won half the battle of life. He has the confidence of his fellowmen, and that is one of the secrets of success: XVho can be friends.P Must they be of the same sex, or can they be of both? Whoever is capable of loye is capable of friendship. A noth poet states that He rides fastest who rides 53 alone. But ah! when the journey of life is nearly ended, when the rider has reached his goal and won successJ what has he really lost? He has no one to feel pride in his accom- plishments, no one to share the success for which he eagerly labored. Alone he stands at the end of his journey. He will miss something and look back into his life of vast lone- liness. that memories can he recallihe who never ex- perienced the greatest happiness of existence,eto love and be loved? Then his soul will hunger for companionship, crave for friendship and love, and he Will cry, iiAlaSl to- day I would give everything to see a friendis face, or hear a voice that had the slightest tone of comfort in it. He will realize that: liThere i: na tremm-e, the which may be compared Cum afaithfulfricnd; Gold mane demyetlz, and worldly wealth comumetlz, And wasteth in the winds; But lave 0mg planted in a perfect and pure mind Enduretlx weak and woe; , Tlmfrawne: affm-tum came, they ever JO unkindf, Cannot the same overthrown MILDRED Hormmxx. E E E ROOSEVELT THE MA; Q Q'Q cl hnanaau-u p- S the sun kissed the hills of the homestead of Dietrich Knick- erboeker on the mom of Oc- tober 27, 1858, one of the greatest characters the world has ever known was born,-Theodore Roosevelt. He was not born with the ad- vantages that many of us possess at birth, as he was sickly and puny, but he possessed that indomitable deter- mination which characterized him in every act of his life. He entered upon the task of transforming his feeble body, not merely into a normal, healthy one, but into one of the strong- est. How well he succeeded everyone knows. His early feebleness, however, bred in him a nervous distrust, and in the same indomitable way he set himself to change his temperament as he changed his body, and he made himself a man of self-conhdence and courage. He attended Harvard and graduated at twenty-two. While still in college he began to write his noted book, The Naval War of'ISI'z. He next attended Columbia Law School, and in 1880 joined the Republican party. From this time on he rose rapidly and soon became a na- tional figure. The versatility of Roosevelt can be seen in his many attainments. Has it ever occurred to you that Roosevelt combined within himself qualities and attainments which actually are not found in the entire population of any city of the United States? The city which would have among 54 all its population at Roosevelt must possess a physical cul- ture expert, historian, biographer, essayist, natural scientist, big game hunter, explorer and discoverer, critic, cowboy, editor, practical reformer, colonel in the U. S. cavalry, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Nobel Peace Prize Winner, Vice-President, and finally one of the greatest Presidents we have ever had. Emerson says, He is a great man who is what he is from nature. His great love for nature irresistibly led him into the untrodden jungles of South America and the wilds of Africa, where hardships and danger were but in- eentives to add some contributions to the world,s knowl- edge. Many are the interesting discoveries both of the hora and fauna of these countries, specimens of which he contributed to our National Museum of Natural History. Dating back to the time when he was governor of New York, it was customary for him to go on tramps through the country with Mrs. Roosevelt and their children. He would always have some difiiculty to overcome, as a long hike, a hill to climb, or a deep ravine to cross. His purpose was to fasten in the ehildrenls minds the truth that life fre- quently presents like obstacles and that it was their duty not to go around, but straight on and over the top. Thus early the Roosevelt children twhose later records have been worthy of their parentsl had begun to learn primary lessons in resourcefulness, perseverance, courage, stoieism, and dis- regard for danger. The Colonel utilized every minute of his time-while hunting, traveling, and more lately while confined to his bed-for work, study, and reflection. He would concen- trate on a book or conversation while enduring pain to such a degree that would have rendered it impossible for most men to think consecutively, much less to converse upon important topics of the day. The very afternoon that he enteted the hospital to undergo the grave operation, he continued to dictate letters to his secretary. While dic- tating he had a hemorrhage and fainted three times, only to revive and resume where he left OE. He had an aversion to the discussion of bodily ills. Resembling the aboriginal American, he had a contempt for the inconvenience or suf- fering resulting from them. Still, when others suHered physically or spiritually, he was the most sympathetic, kindliest, and tenderest of men. As a writer and speaker of great power, many of his forceful expressions have come into general use. All of his literary and oratory efforts were directed to constructive reforms in state and nation, and are so permeated with a patriotic fervor that his countrymen love to call him the Greatest American. Roosevelt was not an example of what a man favored from birth could do, but an example of what a man could do who was not favored. Out of a weak child he developed in himself a powerful man; though half blind, he became a boxer; out of his love for writing, rather than genius, he became a distinguished author. Having a voice and manner never made for oratory, he became a speaker of power. His sense of duty made him a good soldier; the obedience of a 55 soldier created a good governor; and from a successful govs erno'r he became a President loved and honored. The Colonel had very pronounced views and ideas on almost all subjects, and he did not hesitate to express them freely. He spoke what he thought, regardless of conse- quences. While on his trip around the world, he fearlessly denounced race suicide in France. While visiting in the British Isles, he assailed Englandk Egyptian policy. This man, like most great men, grounded the structure of his lifework upon that Book which above all others he loved, the Bible. A very worthy author said, uIn a pure, orthodox sense he had no cause to fear life or death, for his soul was as clean as a childls, and the ultimate biographer will not have a single thing to gloss over or concealf1 Can anything liner be said about any man? The integrity of his character was so beautifully expressed in the resolutions adopted by the Boy Scouts: uMen put their trust in him; women found a champion in him; kings stood in awe of him, but children made him their playmate, and such he was that Senator Lodge in his memorial address likened his life to that of Great Heart, the hero in Pilgrim's Progress. And then, on January 6, 1919, this man who devoted his entire life to work for the betterment of mankind, passed into his eternal rest. The world is poorer for his loss, and no wonder the Whole Western Hemisphere mourned his death. But while his body is lost, his spirit is with us, and may it inspire us to be men worth while! Wm H.

I am his laughter, I am hi: Liberty. That is my namef HE Statue of Liberty is symbolic of America's mis- sion. It stands at one of our great harbors but faces the great sea. lIts torch of freedom sheds light not only toward America but across the waters. The great World War has taken America, the recluse of the western world, and thrown her into the midst of the arena of world politics. As such she has assumed a leading tale. She is being recognized as a nation whose past history shows her to have a mission for all the world. What mission does this past history portray? It is the mission of making Democracy and Freedom the common heritage of all. America always did and always will stand for the vindication of right. Into the hands of our people has always been placed the torch of liberty. In all these previous wars America fought to preserve democracy within her borders. In this great World War America went forth to make Democracy safe for the world. For no other goal, for no less a prize would the 62 United States have unsheathed her sw0rd and offered the sacrifice of so many of her noble sons. uThen oz: in hmuty he stood at their Jide, Who shat? withhold rhefull gift of hi: pride? N at the great England, who know: that her :on, Wa:hingtan,fought him, and Liberty wan. Grave issues again face this land. We stand in the presence of a revolution, not a bloody revolution but a silent one, whereby America will insist upon restoring in practice those ideals which she has always professed, upon securing a government devoted to the general interests and no special interests. We are upon the eve of a great reconstruction. It calls for creative statesmanship as no age has done since we set up the government under Which we live. One of the questions to-day is, Will America stand still while the rest of the world rushes forward? Our valorous achievements in France must be matched by even greater social and economic achievements in Amer- ica. One hundred and forty-three years agoJ even though the tiny nation did number less than our armies to-dav, America led the whole world in liberty and progress. l Have we, the great nation, lost that lead forever, at will the return of our youth from France rally our scattering ideals and allegiances and restore to us once more that simple and Sturdy faith of our fathers-AMERICA FIRST! The way outethe key to peace, prosperity, content- ment, and progress-is not force, not domination, but equal- ity of rights and brotherhood. This equality of rights and brotherhood is the great mission which for centuries has been preached and upheld. Now it is for us to see that we do not break our tradition. The new republics of Europe that are in their birth- throes will look for counsel, for guidance, and above all for example from us. Can we demonstrate to the newborn democracies of Europe that every man is a sovereign him- self, that the rights of one class are the rights of all classes? The cry for reconstruction is heard everywhere. People crave evidence of conviction, not conversion; of conduct, not confession; of deed, not creed. The watchword of our time is the working together of all forces for the readjustment of all relations between high and low, rich and poor, strong and weak. To unite them in the endeavor to establish democracy, liberty, and peace everywhere, and to secure the protection of the small and the feeble by the big and the strong among the nations is the grand principle that should be extended to all nations of the globe. 63 America must accept its mission of world leadership. We must now show that we are ready and fit to assume the task of evolving an ideal social order under the revolution- ized ideas begotten by the war. At no time and in no country has such an opportunity come to a nation to work out a mission and t0 enfold the banner of the highest idealism for all humanity as at the present great turning point of the world,s history. Here in a league, that our blindnm and pride Doualed andjfozited and mocked and denied, Dawns the Republic. The laughing, gigantic Europe united 5eyond the dtlanticf, Then let us bestir ourselves to prevent that torch of liberty from becoming the torch of anarchy.

GARTNER Class of 1919 T is with sincere grief that we here record the death of our classmate, Eugene Gartner. When we consider that life is measured not by passing of years but by the thoughts one thinks, the sympathies one feels, the ideals one cherishes, we know that Eugene lived the life abundant. In our nightly association with him we learned to appreciate his genial personality, his earnest scholar- ship, and his social helpfulness. His fine manhood was the open sesame to the heart of his class. QTEQ KEEP THE. HEART FIRES BURNING Keep your heart J?mr burning, Friends are to Hzem turniitg, Longing Jlillfor tender love and gladmme cheer. Have your hmm'tone glowing, Though outside ifs mowing; Winter man will pan away and the spring 52 here. HE winter season of the yearJ delightful though it is in many. respects, fills a great many people with dread. The reason is that winter, to be enjoyable, requires more preparation than the other seasons, and many are wholly unprepared for its advent. Of the necessary things that contribute to the happiness of this time of year, perhaps warmth is most productive of good cheer. If the cellar is full of coal and the woodshed almost bursting with light, dry kindling, one can look forward complacently to winter as a period of physical relaxation and increasing mental activity. 7 But it is about the winter of life that I want to write. It is coming. It is as sure to come to every person of normal age as summer follows spring and autumn succeeds summer. The gray days are surely on the way. The exact sombern ness of their gray depends very largely on you. Will you have enough fuel to keep you warm and light through this trying time, or will the dull canopies envelop you in a shroud of never-ending gloom? t You must keep the heartyfires burning. You must pre- serve and lay by the things that kindle a glow of warmth and cheer in your heart. The smile of a friend warming its way into the depths of your being, if properly treated, can 67 klipI-lll-q-nl-Ih a E E be reproduced with the same warm thrill years after the friend has vanished. One bit of sunny blue sky carefully stored in the memory can dispel the gloom of many gray days in the years to come. A simple expression of appre- - ciation or sympathy may be recalled long afterward with surprising results in increased effort and larger achievements. These are some of the things that will keep the heart aglow with love and compassion, but they are going to waste around you every day. Why not gather them in? The winter time of the year seems to be a time ofnatural physical relaxation and increased mental vigor. Nature having put on her more sober colorings, we must find a greater amount of cheer and comfort within doors. So it is with life. Lifejs springtime, summer, and even autumn are marked with a considerable display of bodily energy. But the winter of life is the.proper time for mature intel- lectual pursuits, the time of looking within. This in a well- ordered mind should be the most bounteous season of life,s Whole year. But you cannot work in the cold. Your friends, whose criticisms and encouragement are so Vital to your success, won,t enjoy sitting at your hearthstone if your fire has gone out. So keep your heart IFJI'CS burning. Lay in enough fuel to last you well up into the eternal springtime. Then you can welcome your friends to your warm hearthstone and with them you can TiSz't at yer heart like am owldjfreplace, zfn' toast the tow 0i yer 5020!.

They did not dream that they were destined to be the makers of his- tory. But time moves Swiftly. These children grew into youths and maidens, learning year by year the joyful as well as sorrowful views and thoughts of those who lived before them. No doubt they often wondered if they, too, would leave their marks upon the sands of time. Dark clays came into view as these youths and maidens blossomed into young men and women. Warls dark clouds hung over the world and soon the fury of the storm broke. Patriotism, as it does in all great times of need, showed itself with gold stars in the service Bags. Service to coun- try was given Without the customary thoughts of individual petty selfishness. The true spirit of liberty and the heroism of the old Greeks shown at the Pass of Thermopylae blazed with an infinitely greater intensity. The democracy of the world was at stake and men and women gladly did their part in defending that for which their forefathers in the OUR DESTINIES 71 QQQQ - pu-un-nI-n'l o kn-qn-n-u II: Revolutionary War had so gladly given their lives. Like the Knights of the Round Table, our young men went forth to right the wrong and uphold the truth. Those whose lot it was to fight the silent battles far from the battlefield, willingly and uncomplainingly did their duty. But now it is over. Thoughts of these young men and women have taken on a broader and more sympathetic phase. A new understanding pf life and the spirit of com- i'adeship has come. Experience has been the teacher. These young men and women, through their various lines of duty, will hand down to future generations the heritage of the spirit of liberty and freedom. Many of the boys of the class of 1918 were in active military service. Some are back and some are still llover there. Whether the service kept them in this country or took them to foreign countries, there was always the thought for each otherls welfare and happiness. East Night has brought the members of the postgraduate class together as acquaintances and has turned them out as friends. Whatever the future holds for them, they will always feel that East Night inspired them with a love for those high and noble things which make life worth While. EDNA H. MOTSC'H, '18. CHEMISTRY CLASS CHEMISTRY HE evening chemistry classes opened the latter part of September for the benefit of those pupils wishing to take up this interesting and instructive science. Classes were formed to meet every Friday evening, from 6:30 to 10:30, spending the time alternately in laboratory and lecture rooms. The lecture work was under the competent Stipervision of Mr. Miller. This work was made intensely interesting by his explanations and ready wit. The laboratory work was carried on under the helpful instruction of Miss Doerr. The experiments were greatly enjoyed by all. It is with inhnite regret that we realize that the year is coming to a CIOse. We wish to extend our heartiest thanks to our worthy instructors for their unceasing vigilance in our behalf.

QQQ I II-olll-InI-I-Iqb oim-m-In-l p HIS is the farewell appearance in the ANNUAL of the t Class of 1919, a class which, we hope, has proved itself worthy of taking an honored place among its many illustrious predecessors. In all the walks of student life our standard has been high. In scholarship, in our societies, and in athleticswe have done our part. But perhaps the best thing of our life, these last four years, has been the growth of class spirit, that affectionate feeling forlone another, and of loyalty and love for our class. Without doubt, the most valuable possessions we carry away with us from school are the friendships formed in the association of congenial souls, bound together by the ties of a common Alma Mater. Can we look back far enough into the past to see that hrst day when we Climbed the hill to make our way to East Night? Can we recall our awed silence as we gazed at the ;n mighty uAs whom we could hardly distinguish from the teachers? Our eyes grew large and our mouths Opened as we watched their assurance and easy bearing while they strolled through the halls and chatted with the teachers, as though they were the lords of creation. Then, after having successfully undergone the'much dreaded ordeal of our frrst examinations in high schoolJ we 74 came back the next year to find that most of us were Cs . Many faces were absent, and. our numbers were diminished by those who had dropped out or been left behind. .

They appeared promising to a considerable degree, yet one could see many rough spots that would need considerable polishing. With a pleasing distribution of latent talent, this seem- ingly unwieldy group painstakingly rehearsed two hours each night until the recitals in English, Latin, German, Spanish, mathematics, and geography were worthy of their name. Truly the directors had tedious work in this accom- plishment. The performers were new to them-as well as new to themselves. The work was a new field of endeavor for the debutantes and they needed encouragement. Ob- stacles sprang up on all sides. But these were gradually removed so that finally the first yearis work was. a credit to the participants. With a successful start, the future looked brighter. The members had been taught that, e little learning 1': a dangerous thing: Drink deep or taste not the Pierian Spring. A second season began. Advanced work in English, Latin, German, Spanish, and mathematics, together with anc1ent history, gave a new setting that made 1tself felt everywhere. 77 Different instructors now took charge and we found our- selves advancing in leaps and bounds. We played our roles from a larger Viewpoint. We felt a growing power within us, a feeling of self-reliance, assurance, and complacency. Thus another achievement was made a part of our history. Then came the year just passed. How rapidly it passed, but how interruptedlyl Obstacles that were formerly sub- jective were now objective. But we strove on. XVe knew our third act was the decisive shifting of our performance. We knew in its execution the stars in our studies would be given the opportunity of full development and initiative. Truly it was an eventful year. Problems in mathematics, dates in history, and the forms of rhetoric no longer gave us quivers. We had become veterans in their masteryelunior veterans. Our zeal for the hearty appreciation of our audience drew forth our best efforts. In consequence we sought further developments and organized clubs for the promotion of new enterprises. Our counsels assured us, nStudies per- fect nature, and are perfected only by experience. It is from such a foundation, such a background that we look forward into the future, when we shall complete our four-act drama, the academic course. Can you picture a brighter, a happier, a more satisfactory culmination than we ourselves can proudly paint? ELMER SCHWETTMAN.

Since the dawn of creation each generation of every age was governed by laws and regulations that were essential and necessary to meet the requirements of the state. What are the requirements of the present age? Knowledge, freedom, and liberty. The age of thrones has gone by. The age of war and conquest is over. The age of knowledge and thinking men has come. The age of the masses is here. Now we live in a century of an unprecedented strife; a strife for superiority between one city and another, between one state and another, between one nation and another. It is a strife not for conquest, as of yore, to please autocracy, but a strife for supremacy'in science and knowledge. Every civilized nation is racing to introduce its ideals, its form of government, its education, and its commerce throughout the world. To win the world not by force but by emanci- pation, salvation, knowledge, and sympathy with mankind. We Americans are living in the greatest and most glorious country of the world. She is a central sun, around which other planets roll, held in their courses by her mighty power and illuminated by the light of her radiant ideals. It is a country whose resources and wealth, whose real power and magnitude are yet unrealized and unknown; at country full of prospects for its ambitious youths; a country calling upon its sons and daughters to strive for supremacy, to surpass all other nations in education and knowledge as 82 their mother country surpasses them'in wealth and re- sources. There is no other country in the whole world that offers better opportunities for ambitious youth or has a better form of government for its citizens than this blessed country in which we live. Upon the ambition of the rising generation depends the future and the glory of the country. To these ambitious youths the public must give consid- erable attention, whether they work in the oHiee, in the shop, or anywhere else. To these ambitious young people opportunity must be given to develop their minds and knowledge. Here I must call attention particularly to the students of the night high school and university. The words, The students of the night high school;I are alone an inspiration and have a deep meaning and great significance, as the students of the night high school and university are com- posed of the most ambitious young people that can be found anywhere in the land. Here are the reasons. A young man or a young girl who through necessity must work to support himself, herself, or dependents, who must toil all day from morning till night, eat in a hurry, and hasten for great dis- tances to the house of knowledge, stay up late, often till midnight, studying and developing the resources of his 01' her knowledge, rise early in the morning and hasten to work, displays wonderful ambition. To keep up this toil for years, in the prime of life, when youth demands pleasure and enjoyment, sacrificing all for knowledge, is real ambi- tion. A youth who sacrifices the hours which he needs most for rest and recreation at night, a youth whose young life is spurred by ambition and enthusiasm, sacrificing from four to ten years through high school and university, is worthy of the highest consideration. It is not an easy task for the young to attend the night school, as some people think. These young people have the courage, have the ambition, and have the genuine real spirit of modern America, of which every real American is proud. These night students must be helped along and encouraged not only by the teachers but by the public at large in order to keep up their high spirit and enthusiasm for the future and development of our beloved country. The burdens and the sacrifices are too great for these young people to endure unless they are encouraged and helped along, for it requires every minute of their spare time, including Sundays, in order to pass the rigid examinations. The students of the night school differ wholly from the students of the day school. The majority of the day school students are driven to school, and some of them go to school not because they like to go but because they like to evade work. The students who can afford to go to high school and university in the daytime have parents who are often well-to-do, and the object of their going to school is more likely to be that of having a good time at the expense of their rich parents. It has been proven that the greatest men of the world acquired their knowledge and rose to fame through herculean efforts and. unabating study at nights. Abraham Lincoln, one of our greatest Presidents, S3 acquired his early knowledge by the candles light. The future and the glory of our country depend upon the above type of night school students.

PHYSICS CLASS w.CLS Laboralory THE PHYSICS CLASS FRIDAY night class in physics was opened in the latter part of September to assist those pupils who desired to gain more knowledge and receive extra college entrance credits. So many pupils were enrolled that Mr. McElroy had visions of a hard and tiring winter. However, his fears proved groundless. After having had but one lesson, we were compelled to stop for a period of fnfe weeks on account of the inHuenza. The ban was lifted the night the armistice was signed and we returned to our lessons, only to be called away again for a period of three weeks by a second flu ban. This was disheartening and many were discouraged and quit, 85 but on resuming lessons we found that our class had been benefited by the return of several discharged soldiers; there- fore we made a fresh start. Everything now ran smoothlyuexcept the lessons;- that is, most of us found the friction of those lessons almost too great for our propelling force to overcome. Inertia of motion, kinetic energy, gravity, and electricitv seemed to be mysteries of the 33rd degree But after rhany serious altercations and arguments with our teacher, we began to see the light. Some day we expect to see several of our class as famous scientists, who will point to East Night and Mn McElroy as the starting point of their great careers. HARRY El WAITSJ l19. An Appreciatinn f MISS FRANCES KOHNKY 1TH this year Miss Kohnky brings to a closg a long period of service at East Night High. 'Hundi'eds of pupils count themselves fortunate.to have come in contact with her beautiful personality and to have par. taken of her wisdom. The spirit of East Night High is largely the 'spirit of Mis5 Kohnky, whose conscientious service, high ideals,'and devotion to learning have ennobled the souls of her students. May she live many years to behold the abundant fruits of her labor and to receive the gratitude of those whose suctcss she has made possible. 86 SOPHOMORE ACADEMICS, ROOM 353 QQ uin-nl-nm-nb d n l-nn-nl n... h SOPHOMORE CLASS HISTORY QQ W0 years have already elapsed since we stepped into the ranks of East Nightls ambitious students. It was then that we realized what an education meant Knowing that our minds needed training, and that in order to progress in the world an education would be necessary, we commenced laying the foundation. Upon entering the Freshman classes of East Night High we discovered that the subjects assigned to us in high school would be entirely different from those of the elementary school. English proved to be the most interesting and amusing. Then came our foreign languages, such as Latin, Spanish, and French. Latin we realize is becoming a great to US. help to us, especially in connection with our English. Mathematics proved to be the real bugbear. It was at first very discouraging to us, especially when we came to the concrete problems, which were so complicated. Dill ferent cases in factoring also proved to be very confusing at times. But with the kind assistance of our teachers we were able to carry the Freshman work satisfactorily. 89 qu-un-ma-util XVe assembled in various classrooms'at the beginning of this term to form our Sophomore classes. We had scarcely organized and commenced the yearas work when the dread- ful inHuenza fell upon the nation. Our school was closed for a period of eight weeks. Because of the epidemic we lost a great deal of our most precious time. Lost! Somewhere between sunrise and sunset, Many golden hours, each set apart with sixty precious jeWels. N0 reward OH'ered as they never can be found. Let us strive, however, most earnestly, and with all our hearts, to reach our goal. For He that persevereth t0 the end will be saved. Let us keep up with our good spirits as we have been doing. The hearty cobperation of our teachers, with their kind and unselfish efforts in our behalf, will ever be remembered by those who have met with success as Sophomores. HELEN L. GEVERTS.

S. kept 1n mind when they decided upon the otganizauon of a club. lhe school year of 1918 19 had been a most stienuous one, with interruptions to such an extent that it required con- siderable effort on the part of the students to make up for lost time. Although Firm advocates of 'ibusiness before pleasure,H the C Grade students were not inclined to believe they should be entirely deprived of the pleasures and good t mes so familiar to members of the social organizations of f01mer years On March the seventeenth a meeting was held in Room 358 to organize and elect oHicers. After a close vote, Mr. Tavacchio was chosen president; Miss Schuessler, ViCEe president,- Miss Coleman, recording secretary, and Mr. Ballhaus, treasurer. The Object of this organization is to further the ac- quaintance of the students of the C Grade and to promote their friendship. The delay in forming the club was a fact not overlooked b1 our active and energetic president, and by his efforts and the cobpetation of every member we Were able to put the club on an equal footing with those formed earlier in the yeart The interest that each member took in the welfare of the club was shown by the regular attendance at the meet- ings and various social events. One event, the memory of which time can never erase, was the hike made to uThe Devilis Backbone, beyond Price Hill. AH arrangements had been made for 21 won- derful time, and even the weather man approved of our outing, for the day was exceptionally beautiful. After a thtee-mile hike over hills and valleys, across creeks and through woods, we reached our destination, tired, hungry, but happy. A substantial luncheon, prepared by the girls, was soon consumed by the hungry crowd. Various games Were played, and quite a number of kodaks were in opera- tion during the course of the day. Hours passed all too quickly and it was late in the afternoon when we decided to turn our steps homeward. XVith the lengthening shadows we reached home, realizing We had Come to the end of a perfect day? This is justithe beginning of the history of the C Grade Club, for we intend to make it a lasting organization that will keep the students together during the summer months and msure their return in the fall to good old East Night High.

Everyone asked himself, HShall. the end find me a trailer or shall I be one of those to run off with the honors? Thus did D Grade of 1918-19 start on its four yearsl journey in quest of knowledge. Then came the dread influenza and the faint-heartedi dropped out, but the courageous ones returned with added zest to see it through. Slowly, very slowly, did we begin, but as each step opened up more and more the gates of memory, we struck our stride and were not to be side-tracked at any point. Knowing well that cooperation instigates progress, one of our most enterprising and hustling members, Mr. George Thompson, conceived the idea of forming a D Grade Club. But could this be accomplished successfully when the ones to form such a club were comparatively unknown to one another? The school records, which were consulted thor- oughly, showed a woeful lack of precedent. Therefore a few forecasted failure, but boys of the type 97 of our leader care not an iota for precedent. They do not search for obstacles, they overlook them, and notices were posted calling for a meeting of all D Grade pupils. So gratifying was the response to this call that the organization of the club was assured. A very appropriate name, the Tau Alpha Club, was adopted, signifying an alert spirit and one ready to find the pleasant things in life. The Tau Alpha Club of to-day is but a nucleus of the Tau Alpha Club of four years hence; as a great majority of the members are of a high caliber, the ideals to which the club has pledged itself will be maintained. The 1918-19 D Grade is vastly different from others. It is infused with a school spirit unequaled heretofore; its ambition is of the highest; its ideals of the loftiest; all striv- ing in rivalry to outdo their neighbor, but maintaining throughout the courtesy innate in each of them. The star of East Night High School is now in its ascend- ancy, and when the D Grade of 1918-19 is graduating it will have reached its zenith. J03. DESAI.VO.

An atmosphere of general excitement pre- vailed, but beneath it all one noticed on each face an eager, expectant look which showed how great was our ambition, our longing for advancement. Our principal, Mr. Schwartz, cordially welcomed us. He revealed the many advantages open to us, with the result that we en- rolled with a determination to win. When the First Year Stenography Class was assigned to its room, the exceed- ingly large number of young men and women showed the popularity of the course. Now, when we have reached the goal at which we aimed, our thoughts are inclined to travel back over the road whence we came. Many changes have taken place. Our Class is not quite so large as it originally was, owing to the fact that some students were forced to discontinue their studies. A few others, who pictured the combat with stenography more fearful than it is, became discouraged and dropped by the wayside. To them we say, take courage from Walter MalonEs answer to the poem itOpportunity : They do me wrong who my I come no more, When once I knock cmdfczz'l ta Jindyau in, For every day I stand outside your door dud Mdyou wake and rise to jiglzt and win. 107 u:szil notfor precious chance: primed away, Weep natfar golden ages on tize wane; Each night I Juntm-the retard; cf the dayg zit umrise every soul is born again? The efforts of this Class of 1919 have equaled those of any previous class, for the obstacles it had to overcome were many. The winter of 1917-18 was the most severe of the past twenty years; I918 saw many of our fellow students called to the colors; and later the epidemic, inHuenza, swept the country and impeded our progress. Were these things not enough to discourage the average student? I think I hear you ask, iiAre you above the average student? No, my friends, but the World War, the battles so bravely fought out there in No Man,s Land? have taught us the power of endurance and determination. Moreover, as uHope is brightest when it dawns from fear, so is happiness when contrasted with sorrow. Min- gled with our little trials of the past are the remembrances of happy times at the football games, of the plays in which our fellow students participated, of the delightful music furnished by the orchestrayof the joyful dances, and of the pleasant boat ride. Altogether we have spent many golden hours, the radiance of which will draw many of us back into the shelter of East Night High next fall. MARY G. Fox, BESSIE C. QUINLAN, Room 350.

In those times history was largely a story of war and misfortune, and that nation which had no wars, no disasters to be recounted, had no history. The same is true of the Special Class in Stenography. There we no misfortunes to be related, no mishaps. We are so busy trying to remember whether an n-hook turns Clockwise or counter-clockwise, and that a particular com- bination of curved strokes and straight strokes means what we wish to make it mean, that we have no time for making history.

The course 13 planned to develop individual power and a desire to sell with 1n- telligence and judgment. A thorough study of the plrin- ciples of salesmanship, practice sales, and interesting lec- tures by leaders 1n the commercial world are part of the course. Instruction is also given in Business English and Mathematics. My my! KW! W' 113 The student appreciates this opportunity because of its practical value. He realizes that not only is honesty the best policy, but is the only policy, as no financial success can ever repay for a sacrifice of true principles and high standards. The respect and conlidence of the old customer, as well as the interest of the new, can be secured only through honest service to the public.

IWe worked very hard and began to make a headway, but before long we met the dragon Appolyon tSecond Flu Banl. With Evangelist always ready to help us, however, we slew the dragon and once more pushed forward. lvVe worked harder than ever and got over the small hills very easily, but at last we fell into the hands of the Giant Despair tManufacturingl and were ready to give up all hope, hut Evangelist talked to us and showed us how foolish it was to give up when we were so near our goal, so we decided to try again, and we succeeded in freeing our- selves from the Giant and again started out. For awhile things went very easily, but when we were almost in sight of our goal we discovered that we would have to swim a deep, broadJ swift-ilowing river tExamina- tionl before we could reach the City of Zion tGraduationl. We hunted in vain for a bridge to cross, but at last got up enough courage to wade in. We splashed around, swimming easily for awhile, and then going under, until, at last, it seemed as if some must be drowned. After many hours of misery, those who were not drowned reached the shore and entered theICity of Zion and received their reward tDiplomal. VIOLA G. HAWK.

Army 1 I-u-n-I I b E . $5 E . 5 History of Second Year Bookkeeping Class, Room 369 HE beauty of serving in the E. N. H. S. Army is that there are no physical qualifications to be met and no one person is given preference over another, each one having the same opportunity to make good. This great army is made up entirely of privates with the exception of our Tactical OH'icers tteachersl and our General thIr. Sehwartzl. As all soldiers, both girls and boys, are in this Army of Knowledge for the same purpose, every ePfort is made to attain this purpose, for an honorable discharge from the Army of E. N. H. S. is a great asset in the life of the soldier. Upon completion of our initial training in the first year we were allowed a three months, furlough, which was long expected and received with welcome. But time rolled on, the expiration of our furlough came, and once more we heard the call to arms in defense of E. N. H. S. against our enemy, Ignorance. As this call would be our last one, we responded eagerly and once more were mobilized, this time as Com- pany Two, Bookkeeping Division, Barracks 369, Camp Woodward. Many new faces appeared in our Company, but it was not long until we were talking with them in East Night High language and exchanging opinions as to our service in this Night Army. We were very glad to become acquainted with these new volunteers and to confer with them about the work, especially at times when we were expecting 117 Kitchen Police ta good lecturel for not having our work correct. We were soon started on our nightly routine of setting-up exercises tEnglish and Arithmeticl and drilling tBookkeep- ingl, to refresh our minds with the work we had had in the past and to prepare us for advanced work. In a short time we went about the work as old veterans and soon completed this bit of training tWholesale Hardware Businessl, only to be advised by Lieutenant-Colonel Tate that we would de-I part from it into real maneuvers. At last the time came when we boarded the huge trans; port UCommission, which appeared very large to us, for we had never seen anything exactlir like it before. It took us some time to get started on our journey, but gradually we picked up speed and sailed on. It was the opinion of every soldier that we would sail right through all danger zones and storms, for we were accompanied by destroyers Determination and Patience, in addition to having competent advisors in Lieutenant-Colonels Tate and Probst. We did sail on very calmly until the night of October third, when the enemy submarine Influenza fired its unwelcome torpedo tquarantinel, doing considerable damage with a direct hit. On account of this accident we were con fined to rest billets until traveling was again safe, which was the night of November thirteenth. This misfortune greatly disappointed us, as it delayed us in reaching our longed-for destination, . Once more we started on our voyage, trusting t0 fate that we would have fair weather arid clear seas, free from all enemy trouble seekers. We had just attained a remark- able speed after our accident and were in hopes of soon completing our trip when, on the night of December fourth, we felt our ship shudder and seem to be in agony. Upon investigation, we found that we had struck an InHuenza mine, making traveling impossible. This discouraged a few, causing them to jump overboard, giving up the purp05e which they had set out: to accomplish. The majority, how- ever, had the determinatioh to succeed, and on the night of January sixth these determined oneseresumed the journey. We rejoiced greatly when one evening General Schwartz summoned us to the HY room lauditoriuml to give us suggestions as to how we could succeed in receiving our honorable discharge at the expiration of our term. We re- solved to comply with his; suggestions and to do our best despite the inconvenience of our delay. Vt On the evening of March fourth the Company, at the direction of Lieut.-Col. Tate, organized a club with the following oflicers: Captain, Elmer 'Byington tPresidentl; Chaplain, Miss Alice Clark tGeneral Advisorl; Adjutant, Miss Edna Kirker tSecretaryl. The purpose of the club is to assemble all its soldiers and all former soldiers of Com- pany 2, Bookkeeping Division, sometime during July to have a big picnic in the country, in remembrance Of the friends of the Army and of what we have accomplished while in the Army of E. N. H. 3. Complete preparations are being made, and it is expected that the event will be well worth remembering by all who attend. We sailed on until at last we completed this part of the journey; arriving at Port Doubt tWholesale Dry Goods 'Businessl. As we had continued our setting-up exercises tEnglis'hl and Arithmeticl during the vojrage, we were pre- pared to meet and advance through Doubt. After capturing this objective, we marched on to llMisa understanding, tManufactui-ingl. This was a very hard battle, but as we had the determination to go Over the Top? we had the place to our credit in due time. Upon the successful completion of all the work scheduled we were marched to the Commander-in-Chief's headguar- ters tMusic Halli, where each was awarded his Honorable Discharge.

N September 2.3 East Night High School once more Opened her doors to the many boys and girls who were anxious to make for themselves a better place in the world. The majority of the students had already realized the value of an education and were willing to de- vote their spare time to studies Which they knew would better their condition and make them worthy citizens of our fair city. After a very interesting talk by the Principal, Mr. Schwartz, we were assigned to our classes. lVithin the first week our studies in stenography, typewriting, English, and spelling began in real earnest. At first the different strokes, curves, and dashes of Mr. Pitmanls Strange language con- fused us, but through the untiring efforts of our teachers we overcame many of our cliHiculties. In October came the epidemic of inHuenza, which closed our school. Upon reopening, work was progressing nicely when the plague broke forth again and our school was again ordered closed. 121 On January the sixth we took up our lessons with re- newed vigor and enthusiasm, all firm believers in the theory of the survival of the httest. Although our term has been shortened, we have com- pleted 01-1r.full quota of work, due to the perseverance of both teachers and pupils. We were all delighted with the Social evenings provided, and are looking forward with keenest pleasure to our Senior Year. Our heartiest thanks are extended to the faculty and all others who have lent their endeavors toward making this a successful year.

Efficiency is the means toward the attain- ment of business sticfcess, and employers. are demand- ing most exacting requirements .that' will lead to this goal. An employee must be an expert thoroughly trained in his special department, to attain recognition that will lead to his personal success. The students of the Junior bookkeeping class appreciate . that eH-iciency can come only through preparation. We do not know if we are ideally htted for business training, but 126 we are taking the Erst humble steps in this training, in the hope that our horizon of experience will widen, and that we shall become effective agents in the business world of the near future. From all sides there come insistent demands for men of marked personality, for men of broad vision, for men of intensity of effort. We hear this clear call, and we hope by constant adherence to a high ideal of attainment, to so prepare ourselves that we shall be ready when our oppor- tunity comes.

We have a class on every regular school night, under the instruction of our very competent teacher, Miss Moor- man. She plans the menus, orders the food, and has every- thing ready, so that when the girls come they can proceed with the cooking. Of course, the next thing we do is hEATf and we believe Mr. Hoover would have no cause to com- plain of our allowing anything to go to waste. It is also to our credit that no one who has ever partaken of our food has required the services of a physician, unless he is subject to chronic dyspepsia and did not wish to divulge this secret.

Together with Lieutenant L. Thynnes, I started from McCook Field at 1:30 P. M. in a DeHaviland planeethis type of plane was used by the American army authorities on the European battle ftont. After passing over West Carrollton, Miamis- burg, Middletown, Hamilton, and Locklancl, we found our- selves above Cincinnati in less than thirty-tive minutes after leaving the field. We circled over the city at an alti- tude of about seven thousand feet and then crossed over ihto Kentucky. I Coming down to about hfty-five hundred feet, Iytook some pictures, and then descended to an altitude of twenty- hve hundred feet and used the camera again. At an alti- .pn.....-..-.Ju tude of seven thousand feet we were able to plainly see and distinguish East Night High School and other large buildings in Cincinnati. After going over every section of Cincinnati, we started for the western part of the city, and while passing over my home in South Fairmount went as low as we could without running the risk of crashing into something. then several hundred feet from the ground we could see the people running to the center of the street and waving to us. We then' returned to the heart of the city and started on our Fiftwalve mile return journey, which was made over the same course in twenty-six minutes. The entire trip ' took two hours and ten minutes, but more than one hour of this .time was spent Flying over and about Cincinnati. SGT. LOUIS HAGEMEYER. MY INITIAL EXPERIENCE IN AVIATION ' HORTLY after arriving at Wright Field, I requested a ride in an aeroplane; I was given a Hying uniform, and with a lieutenant in the front seat of-a Curtiss training plane and myself in the rear seat, the motor was started. The noise was deafening and the wind seemed strong enough to blow me out of my seat. As we swiftly rose higher and higher objects gradually appeared smaller and smaller until even the roads looked like white streaks. Great woods seemed to be but small clusters of trees. Dayton was soon reached, but this city resembled a little town with very small buildings. Suddenly the pilot looked back at me and then things began to happen. Suddenly the plane gave an awful Jerk and we begangto climb rapidly. YVe soon seemed to be going in every direction but the right one. First we were on our back, then on out sides, and I breathlessly expected that my pilotls next move would be the difhcult llImmel- man loop. While we were looping and making vertical -141 ihanks and Hzooming and doing all sorts of maneuvers, known only to the aviator, I could see the corn growing in the Sky and Clouds moving along the roads. A strange feeling seemed to possess me. I felt very much like the negro soldier on his first trip across the ocean. At first I feared I would die, and then I was afraid that I would not. Soon the pilot ceased giving me these fancy turns. We were now gliding smoothly along. I was thankful that I was belted to my seat, for my experience had unnerved me to such an extent that I had slight confidence in my ability to maintain my position unaided. By the time we reached the ground the color had returned to my face and I was feeling myself again. I Since this memorable trip I have taken others which have carried the to an altitude of 18,000 feet, but none has affected me as the first. Riding. in the air now is my daily routine, but never again do I expect to have such thtills as my first Hight gave me. SGT.

WAR RECORD QJQQ 01h n-n-un-u I' HEN, in April, 1917, America decided to take up the cause of civilization and humanity and to teach the Hun that might was not right, East Night boys were among the first to rally to the support of our Hag. From that time on until the signing of the armistice there was a steady stream of East Night boys entering our army and navy. Our service Hag shows three hundred and sixty-one stars. There were, no doubt, many former East Night boys who entered the army or navy, but of whom we were unable to get any record. Three of our girls were in military service. One, Irene West, a senior of last year, became private sec- retary to the U. S. military attache at Pekin, China, and is stationed there now. Two other girls, Daisy Daugherty and Edith Boyd, for more than a year were with Base Hos- pital Unit No. 25 in France, and when not engaged in clerical work, spent their time dispensing cheer to wounded Yanks and French soldiers at the front. The first Cincinnatian to be killed in action was an East Night boy, Eli Wittstein. Twelve others of our brave boys made the supreme sacrifice. Four of our boys were decoq rated,- one, Stanley Walton, receiving two medals, one of which was the Medaille Militaire, the highest honor that can be bestowed on a soldier. A picture of this East Night boy, as well as copies of two letters explaining why this young man was so signally honoredeone from Col. Gal- braith, the other from Marshal Petain of Franceiwill be found elsewhere in this book. Copies of the same letters, by request of the Superintendent of Schools, will be in- cluded in his next annual report to the Board of Education. 148 Of the three hundred and sixty-one boys in the service of whom we were able to get records, thirty-four were enrolled in the S. A. T. C. at various universities; two attained the rank of captain, eleven that of lieutenant, twenty-eight that of sergeant, twenty that of corporal, and one that of chief yeoman. An East Night boy at Harvard Radio School ranked highest in the school. A 19I6 gradu- ate, Louis Hagemeyer, sergeant in the Photo Department, McCoolis Aviation Field, made a flight to Cincinnati and took the first aerial photos ever taken of Cincinnati. Even though sailing about in air from half a mile to a mile above the ground, his thoughts naturally turned to his Alma Mater and he succeeded in taking a splendid picture of East Night. This view, together with four others showing portions of Cincinnati, as well as a photo of himself in flying costume, will be found in this book. Our faculty, too, was well represented on our service flag, as seventeen of the stars were for former instructors who had entered the military service of our country. Among these could be found one lieutenant-colonel, one major, one captainJ six lieutenants, two sergeants, one chief yeoman, and three members of an oflicersl train- ing corps. The students at the school gave loyal support to their gallant classmates overseas. As individuals thev invested one hundred and ten thousand dollars in Liberty Bonds and eighteen thousand dollars in War Savings Stamps. Five hundred and fifty dollars belonging to the East Night High School ANNUAL Fund have been invested in Liberty Bonds. E. N. A. A. QQQ -Ir-----f- EAST NIGHT ATHLETICS QQEQ I I Ienum-ull-nn o THLETICS at East Night, just as it did everywhere else, suffered considerably because of the interrup- tions to all school activities brought about by the closing of the school on two occasions because of the inHu- enza epidemic. However, the boys did not become dis- couraged but proceeded to make the best of it. An athletic association was organized and teams in football, basketball, baseball, and track events were formed. BASEBALL P to several years ago East Night always had a well! organized baseball league of ten or twelve clubs. The rivalry between these clubs was always very keen and the games brought out many of the pupils as rootets each Sunday. The final and deciding game was always played at the school picnic at Coney in June, and then the trophy- or prizes aWarded.

FOOTBALL TEAM QEQEQ . bn-m-mr-lgiu THE FOOTBALL TEAM QEEQQ $I-ln--Io . . 1.....1-n... l. HE Flu gave football a more serious setback than it did any other athletic activity, as the schools we1e Closed almost the entire football season. Most high schools of this Vicinity did not attempt to or- ganize teams, as it was almost impossible to get out material for the teams and the health authorities had placed a ban on the gathering of people in crowds for any purpose. Our boys however though greatly handicapped, were not discouraged. They recognized that East Night students considered football their greatest and most popular sport, and that without the annual Thanksgiving Day game, life would hardly be worth the living for an East Nighter. As soon as permission could be secured from the health author- ities to hold meetings, as many boys as could he reached were brought out for practice. To get out a suchient number of students to make practice worth while was an almost impossible task, as school was not in session and practically none of the new students had reported or made known their ability or desire to play football. Practices were arranged for nights or Sunday mornings in public parks. Finally enough material was secured to organize a team for the Thanksgiving game. Then a new dih'iculty arose. XVest Night could not get up a team and were thus saved from their annual drubbing. A game was booked with the U. C. second team, but at the last moment this was canceled. Finally Hartwell High 153 School was secured and East Nighters were assured of a Thanksgiving Dag,r game. It rained the night previous to the game and for a long time on Thanksgiving morning, making the grounds muddy. However, this did not dishearten either team. Both played a fast, clever game, giving the spectators many a thrill and a good run for their money. After a game struggle the plucky Hartwell boys were vanquished by a score of 6 to o.

ARNOLD BOYS' FRIDAY NIGHT GYM CLASS GIRLS' GYM CLASS rQEQEQ FRIDAY NIGHT GYM CLASSES tame RIDAY night is looked forward to with considerable pleasure by quite a number of our boys and girls, as this is the one night in the week when the students of the academic and commercial classes can avail them- selves of the opportunities fer physical training, exercise, and recreation that the gymnasia of our school afford. Though fewer pupils than in former years enrolled in the Friday Night Gym Classes, yet these showed much en- thusiasm for the work. After the regular class work on the gymnasium hoor was over, the boys 'had the privilege of indulging in' indeor baseball or basketball, using the running track and sw1m- ming in the plunge, while the girls not only enjoyed these privileges but in addition played center ball and danced. The relaxation brought about by dev'oting one night a week to physical exercise after four nights of hard study was such as to tend greatly to increase the echiency of the students both in their daily work and at school. THOMAS WRIGLEY,',19. THE TRACK TEAM HE East Night team entered both the U. C. and r Oxford meets. At the former, however, the running of the preliminaries in the morning practically shut out our boys, as nearly all were compelled to work and therefore could not qualify for the finals in the afternoon. i At the Oxford meet the same boys who had represented East Night the previous week at Carson Field were entered. Schneider succeeded in taking shcond place in the running broad jump, and Nattenheimer third place in the high um . J ?he boys had a Fine trip to Oxford and were treated royally by the Miami boys. After being served supper, our boys were entertained until train time, when they re- luctantly pulled out for home. THE BASKETBALL TEAM S our school was in session for less than Five weeks previous to January the first, the basketball team secured a very late start, but under the able leader- ship of Capt. Slutsky and Manager Rohdenburg it acquitted itself with credit to its members and the school. Just previous to the Pre-Lenten Dance of the school the boys had the courage to tackle a team composed of faculty members. As most of these had been former players on college basketball teams, they proved too much for the plucky East Night boys, who had to succumb to their 156 superior skill and experience. In the game played with the Gym Tigers the boys showed their real strength. Heile and Clauss as forwards played a fast game and kept their opponentsgon the jump. Slutsky at center out- played his opponents every time, and Rose, Borchard, and Nicklas stuck to their men like Heas. Nestor, the captain of the visitors, put lots of pep into his team, but the Tigers were overshadowed at the start and East Night Highs goal was seldom in danger. - - o - : lllll ll ORCHESTRA uln-n-n-ulu QQQ vlfrndn-du-uq .- East Night High School Orchestra EAST NIGHT is probably the only night high school in the country with a regularly organized orchestra. This thriving organization has been in existence for the past two years, meeting every Friday evening during the school term. The purpose of this organization is to instill a feeling for good music, to study musical and rhythmical effects, and to afford an opportunity for instrumental and ensemble playing. These factors are essential in all orchestra and band work. A player who has acquired this experience will be a great help to any orchestra in the future. Last year, under the capable leadership of Mr.- Reszke, the orchestra looked after the musical end of the Dramatic Club entertainments, and had no small part in making these splendid treats for the students. This year the orchestra not only has supplied the music for the Dramatic Club entertainments, but also has had an important place on the program when the school gave a reception to two of its returning hero soldiers, Lieut.-Col. I. H. Dube, formerly of the faculty, and Sergt. Stanley lValton, a former student. Pupils with musical ability or any wishing to take up the study of some instrument are invited to join this or- gamzatlon.

Each year has marked a growth over the preceding one. W hat this year s Club has accomplished has been due to an earnest effort to live up to the splendid traditions left by the Dramatic Clubs of previous years. The Club has for its purpose the development of a love for the drama, the creation of confidence in 01165 self, and the ability to speak and act before the public. How well these standards have been maintained by this year's mem- bers could readily be ascertained by inquiry among those who had the pleasure of witnessing the initial performance of the Club, when HI'lxamination Day at VVOOdhill School was staged. The splendid impression then created was but strengthened by the presentation of uThe Best Man at the close of the year. Mr. Bert H. Long, our capable Director, has given many hours of his valuable time to the Club. He has accom- plished wonders with the organization because of his desire to foster the histrionic art in East Night to give recreation to the pupils, to increase the school spirit, and to add to the fame of the school. It is with regret that the members of the Senior class leave the club this VEHI'. However, this feeling IS tempered with the happy thought that the future of the club 15 as- sured, as quite a rev. of this year 5 members will be back again at East Night next year, ready to carry on the good work of the club ANTHONY WONDRACK. PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS IQQQ PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS N Wednesday evening, April the second, an announce- ment was made by the teachers in the various class- ; rooms that there would be a meeting in Room 489 at 9:30 P. M., to which all who were interested in Public Speaking might come. At the tap of the nine-thirty bell about one hundred enthusiastic students assembled, all eager to become proficient in this art. The meeting was called to order by er. Bert H. Long, a member of the faculty well known to all students of East Night High School. A Public Speaking Class was organ- ized and our able instructor outlined the course of study. It was to cover eight sessions, each session to be one hour in length. A vote was taken as to what evening was best suited to the majority of the students. Wednesday eve- nings, from 9:30 to 10:30, was the time selected for the class meetings. ,A general outline of the work expected of the students of this Class, together with definitions of terms used, was fully explained the Hrst evening the class met. We were shown a number of the correct pastures and gestures which add so mhch to a Speakerls ability to command and hold an audiencels attention. Great stress was laid upon the neces- sity of correct and. distinct pronunciation. The second evening was given over to short speeches by 163 some of the students on any topic that they might Choose. Their mistakes were corrected as they proceeded. Open discussion and argumentation prevailed throughout the hour on Wednesday, April the twenty-third. The students were instructed at the close of the evening to prepare debates on any subject that they might choose for the next recitation. The interest in the class was shown on the following Wednes- day, when too many were prepared with debating material for the short time allotted, so that this program was con- tinued 0n the next class night. On, May the eleventh a debate was held between two volunteer debating teams of the class, each team consisting of three members and an alternate. After quite a heated debate, the class was given an opportunity to show by a vote which team they deemed the better. This debate seemed to stimulate still greater enthusiasm in the class, and a great number of the students volunteeredfor debates for the'following class nights, all of which were given over to this fine art of invigorating mental strife. The benefits received by those students paying close at- tention to all the lectures can best be seen in the ability of three members of our class who were selected to pit their debating strength against the team from Walnut Hills High School. ENSON CLUB THE ENSON CLUB QQQQ E E E E N the middle of November 21 meeting was called and attended by practically all the boys of the A Grade. This was the beginning of the Enson Club. George Dorman was chosen temporary President, with a cabinet to administer the affairs of the club until a permanent or- ganization could be established. This was delayed pntil the third week in January because of the influenza epidemic, which prevented all meetings until that time. At that meeting the management was given into the capable hands of iVilliam McGill as President, with Charles Chalk as Vice- President, Richard Meyer as Secretary, and Arthur Messler as Treasurer. . The first alfah of any importance in which the club took the lead was the Thanksgiving football game at Car- son Field, which was a howling success in more ways than one. However, we feel that the greatest success of the xear along the line of social events was the dance held at Dance- land Music Hall, which the management informed us brought the largest crowd ever on that Hoor. The A Grade girls of the S 11.9. entertained the Enson Club the evening of February the iifteenth at Mueller 3 Hall. This was one of the most enjoyable occasions of the year as there were no strangers, and that frigid formality which so often creates an in atmosphere was entireli. lacking. 16S Ibl-i-Il-wlw-HI1'I u! tn-nu-n-n-p The dancing, games, and refreshments were so thoroughly enjoyed that this will be long remembered by the members of both organizations. We sincerely hope that before the summer weather comes and goes the girls will have ac- cepted several invitations to our camp along the Ohio River, where we hope to spend many pleasant hours to- gether. The' Moonlight Boatride was the crowning event of the season. The night was perfect and everybody seemed to be in good spirits. Ask am bodyefrom those who were on the dance Hoor ilTaCkin, 'eirn down i to those on the cinder deck mWatching the Zepps. It is our only regret that this occurs but once a year. As is always the case in this life, the tear lurks close behind the smile. After recounting the pleasant memories which will never leave the minds of the Class of 1919, it is necessary to turn the page to the more serious side of the years events. Eugene Gartner, a member of the Enson Club, was stricken with acute appendicitis on April the ninth, and passed away 011 the eleventh. Since then we have missed Gartner's cheerful smile in classroom and cor- ridor. We will be inspired as we recall his good qualities and wholesome example. HSo that he, being dead, yet speaketh. We deem ourselves fortunate, considering the ruthless way in which the Grim Reaper has mown doWn the young and promising this year, that Gartner's is the only vacant Chair in our midst. The precious friendships formed during the year 1919J we are sure, will defy the test of time and prove in later xears the bright thread in the dull grays and browns 0f sordid business and professional life.HLGI-1 H. HOFFMAN, 1'9 QQQQQ QQQQQ FORMER E. N. H. S. graduate was carelessly turn- A ing the pages of her ANNUAL of '19 when the letters US. A. 93, suddenly passed before her eyes. She softly whispered the name to herself as a wistful smile Hitted acrbss her face. Memories of that club were recalled. The girl seemed transported back to Room 491, where, on the organization night, Miss Edna Schmidt was chosen President; Miss Ethel Gross, ViceePresident; Miss Mar- garet Wiindisch, Secretary, and Miss Ethel Davies, Trease urer. The epidemic had interrupted most social functions, 167 but hikes and dances followed rapidly after reorganization took place. The S. A. g-Enson mask dance stood out prominently in her recollections. What costumes! She laughed as she remembered C. P.'s wrist watch tan alarm clocki, W. Rfs peppermint stick, and E. Gfs little white dog. Then the masked Girl in Green Hitted in a fairylike dance into the center of the hall, arousing the euriosity of all the Enson members. Well, they know now! She stepped to a window and a wisp of hair blew across her forehead. As she rearranged it she thought with what zest she had enjoyed the fresh river breeze that Sunday as she chatted with friends on the deck of the t'Island Queen, which was bringing them back from an excursion to New Richmond. She recalled the enthusiasm with which the S. A. Q. girls had rooted for the A Grade baseball games; the promi- nent part played in school aHairs; the conducting 6f the Annual dances, and how in every way the purposes of the S. A. Q; had been carried out. M. L. H., '19. DEBATING CLUB EQQQEQQEQ .pu-.u-..a-. p quem-q-wnq. DEBATING meettme 'l . w-mI-d-h u. - +..-..u-....-....ll. WING t0 the enforced vacations occasioned by the 0 recent influenza epidemics, the debating activities of the school were somewhat deferred. As usual, the Forum Debating Club held its enthusiastic meetings each week, discussing the most important topics of the day. On more than one occasion questions of national interest wererargued and positively settled; frequently the shades of Webster and Patrick Henry appeared as if oHering a guid- ing hand on the sea of Logic, but just as frequently did they vanish into thin air, disappointed in having met their peers. .Along with the Forum Clulfs work the school offers each year a series of ten lectures in public speaking. It is from these two activities that East Night derives her representative school deba ers. This year it was gratifying to be able to cross swords, i an argumentative way, with a school Which maintains such high ideals and standards of debating as W'alnut Hills High School. At first it was thought that the two East Night teams would again be compelled to debate, as only in that way could a real and spirited contest be assured, but at the last moment, through the kind intercession of Miss Kohnky, who also teaches at Walnut Hills High Sehdol, a debate was arranged with that school. The subject, uRwalved, That the Railroads of the United States Be Permanently Owned and Operated by the 169 I... Federal Government? was one which had been debated by Walnut Hills before and one upon which she was admirably prepared. Because of the lateness of the season and lack of time for preparation, we had to accept this subject. In the toss for sides, Walnut Hills won and chose the negative. Although having only two weeks of preparatioh, our team took hold in true East Night spirit. Handicapped by the side we were compelled to defend and by the decision of President Wilson concerning the question, the outcome of this forensic struggle again demon- strated What careful preparation, scientific training, and in- hnite enthusiasm can accomplish. T0 the great delight. 0F all our enthusiastic adherents, East Night by a majority vote triumphed over Walnut Hills, a school famed for its quick-witted and eloquent speakers,-a school undefeated in the past three years. . Dr. Randall J. Condon acted as moderator, and the judges were Judge Wm. C. Geohegan, Judge Arthur C. Frieke, and Assistant City Solicitor Charles Bell. W'alnut Hills was represented by Malcolm Dulaney, Margaret Roll, Donald Raymond tcaptainl, and Dorothy Kock talternatel, while East Night had as its representatives Elisha Iacobucci, Joseph Sagmaster, Wilhelm Mers tcaptainl, and Anthony Wondrack talternatel.

HISTORY QQEQQ au-nu-uu-u i. 55... ...m.....+ T one of the frequent outings of the ltBlue Gold Club, A 1917-18, early in the summer, the girls who were to enter East Night High School in the fall to finish the last lap of the school journey decided to organize a club. The girls, thirteen in number, met at the home of Miss Marie Klingenberg and proceeded to elect the following officers: Miss Flora Fender, President; Miss Marie Klingen- berg, Vice-President; Miss Edna Schmidt, Secretary, and Miss Margaret VVindisch, Treasurer. The purpose of the club was to perpetuate the friendships already formed and to make the last school year one long to be remembered. .Meetings were held every Other week at the home of a mem- ber until school-commenced; then they were farther apart, for the reason that studies required considerable effort and they had to participate in school activities. Hikes were taken whenever the weather permitted. The one to Ancor will especially call forth pleasant mem- 171 ories. Another memorable occasion was the picnic at the home of Miss Schmidt on September the eighth. As the very Climax of all social affairs, however, the dance and social tendered the soldiers at K. of C. hut, FL. Thomas, stands out most prominently. That it was a great success is proved by the fact that the boys beseeched the secretary in charge to ask the club to entertain again. Some of you who read this will no doubt shake your heads at the number thirteen, but the girls are not super- stitious and have not met with any extraordinary ill-luck. The only circumstances that brought about any unpleas- antness were the weeks during which no meetings were held. Barring this the members have succeeded in filling the last year with many happy incidents which, in the future, will be delightfully recalled. They are indeed hpalsi, in spirit as well as in name.

BENITHI CLUB ql- din-u. - Ina BENITHI CLUB HISTORY QEEQEQ .p-n-w-qp LTHOUGH the school year of 1918-19 was prat- A tically not started until the beginning of the present chlendar year on account of the influenza, we deter- mined not to let that interfere with our organizations. It only put us to work more earnestly to maintain the print ciples and purpose of the club. On Thursday evening, January the ninth, the B Grade students gathered in Room 4.89 to organiZC what is now the llBenithi Club. By popular vote the following officers were Chosen: Mr. Charles Orr, President; Miss Helen Stentz, ViceWPresident; Miss Hilda Kramer, Secre- tary, and Mr. Elmer Schwettman, Treasurer. After sev- eral meetings, the motto, t13 for all and all for B, was adopted. The purpose of this club was to create a feeling of good fellowship aniong the Juniors by bringing them into closer contact with one another. It was also organized to pre- pare ourselves with a good foundation for the hard work imposed upon Seniors. 173 lVith the earnest coiiperation ofevery member the socials and dances undertaken proved to be the events of the season. The tw0 socials at Muellefs Hall on February the eighth and March the twenty-second well demonstrated our friendly feeling and all members enjoyed them to their heartsl content. On March the ninth we hiked to Eden Park and explored the Art Museum, whose possessions greatly increased our store of knowledge. 1 However' successful these previous functions may have been, we are now looking forward to the grand dance at the K. of C. Hall on April the twenty-sixth. This will be our greatest achievement owing to the fact that we have amply prepared for its success. Following this Willi be preparation for the reception which will be tendered t0 the A Grade at the end of the season, and also schedules for different meetings during the summer vacation. We were greatly honored by having among us one of Uncle Samls doughboys, Ralph Orr, to whom we heartily tender our thanks for his active participation in every event. It also should be noted that our President, Mr. Charles Orr, has been very successful in his endeavors in keeping the Club in splendid harmony. I The bonds of friendship created by our getatogefher socials can never be forgotten. We shall carry the memorv of those happy moments with us and cherish them in the hour of our success. Then shall we turn the pages of time and look back to where We once toiled together within the walls of dear old East Night High. ELISHA A. IACOBUCCI, lzo. ONTO CLUB QQQEQQ uh-nn-n-nin ONTO CLUB QQQQQEQQQE 'l 1 n-n-u-u - T is not necessary for me to introduce the Onto Club, or to give the history of its formation and career, be- cause for three years its many social activities, good fellowship, ' sociability, and congeniality have made the club well known among the various organizations of East Night High. We have udone our bitn by being well repre- sented at all school functions and by responding to all calls made by our country for such service as we could render. All Onto members proudly wore their service flag with seven stars, and each and every one of us mourned for one who made the supreme sacrifice at the Battle of Argonne ForeSt. Mr. Conrad Keinath will always be ten membered by his many friends. All but two of our boys who have been serving Uncle Sam so faithfully have re- turned; We shall be glad when our circle will be reunited and these boys will be with us once more to participate in the pleasant social functions which we are anticipating for the future. The gast has been one round of pleasure which will always bring fond recollections. The hike over the Ken- tucky hills was enjoyed by all and full justice was done to the excellent luncheon which the girls prepared. This hike took place in May. Later in June Mr. VVerden entertained at his home at Pleasant Ridge. HWhat is so rare as a day in June? Well, this was a rare day, for it was really an ideal day For playing tennis and pitching quoits. We spent the afternoon at these sports, and when we went home that evening we felt that it was the End of a Perfect Day. How many of us have forgotten that wonderful picnic at Bachjs Grove, Mt. Healthyithe hay ride, fishing, and the ball game? Not one of us. XVe are all looking forward to a similar frolic this coming summer. - The girls of the club entertained the boys at Tewanhee Cottage, Tower Hill. A chicken dinner was served, which proved that they were excellent cooks as well as excellent scholars. After spending the morning canoeing and bath- ing, the boys showed their appreciation by the manner in Which they partook of the repast. Although we have such splendid social gatherings, we do not neglect our studies. All Onto members work dili- gently and faithfully, striving for the goal which they set out'to win three years ago.

This is the'hrst D Grade club ever organized in the history of old East Night High School. The purpose of this club was social, therefore hikes, dances, and everything a social club would undertake were given. About the best hike given was to Fernbank Dam, Where pictures were taken and a jolly good time spent. The dances were also great successes, every member of the club attending them. This club was always a loyal supporter of everything the school gave. The members attended the dances, plays, and games in a body. It also had members in the Dramatic and Debating Clubs, the Athletic Association, and all branches of athletics. Considering it all in all, the club proved a great success and has started the ball a-rolling for the D Grade classes of the future. GEORGE R. THOMPSON. 177 .QQQQQQ SEPTEMBER 23 Opening of school.
