THE JUNE BUG PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF THE EAST TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL IN THE YEAR NINETEEN HUNDRED FOURTEEN SEND us the men WHO do the work for WHICH THEY DRAW THE WAGE.” —KlPLING CLEVELAND, OHIO PRINTED BY STUDENTS EAST TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL PRINT SHOP CLEVELAND To our new Assiiftant Principal Harrison A. Hutchins Because we appreciate the great work he is doing for Ea Tech—and because we like him—this book is dedicated by The Class of 1914 6 THE JUNE BUG OUR LITTLE BOW kHAT was the moSt unkindeSt cut of all.” Yes, it was. We mean the time when, after months of work and worry about this June Bug, we remembered we Still had the editorial to write. As it is, we feel juSt like the football players do when they get their sweaters in front of the bunch” in the auditorium, and are called on for their speeches. You know the feeling. To begin, then, our purpose in preparing this Inse 5t has been to recall the pleasant side of school. We have tried to forget the other side, though we have been compelled to make a few exceptions in the case of the faculty. We have tried, also, to show that the ideals of former Classes dwindle down to the size of Mr. Burroughs favorite mark when compared to ours. When WE get out into the world the great problems had better rooSt high. This Bug” is the firSt to be hatched in our own school Print Shop. Some class, eh? We all feel like giving a great big Rizzer Racker” for Mr. Webster and his dev—, assistants, we mean. Of course, we want to thank all of you who contributed to this June Bug, and all of you who are buying it. Even if we do pity you, we’ll keep it to ourselves. We hope you’ll like the book. We do. If you don’t, why we're through with it anyway, so, Ich kabibble.” —The Editors —7— 'JflH 3Nflf 31LL 8 The June Bug Published Annually by the Senior Class of Ea$t Technical High School VollV JUNE 1914 A HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL BY EDWARD FERRY THE Ea£t Technical High School owes its origin to the Board of Education of 1905. At the first meeting of this board the President, Mr. Francis H. Haserot, called attention to the inadequacy of industrial education in the Cleveland High Schools. On February 29, the President appointed an Educational Commission of twelve prominent Cleveland men to examine carefully the government, supervision, and course of study in the Cleveland Public Schools and to make suggestions.” This Commission submitted a series of reports to the Board of Education during the years 1905 and 1906. On September 26, a resolution was adopted which instructed the Educational Commission to investigate the advisability of establishing a Manual Training High School in this city. On Monday, March 5, 1906, the Board of Education unanimously adopted a resolution authorizing the issue of bonds for $350,000 for the purpose of ereCting a Manual Training High School. Owing toa marked change as to what was to be the policy of the school, the name was subsequently changed to The Cleveland Technical High School. The selection of the site was definitely agreed upon August 13, 1906. This location of the school at East 55th Street and Scovill Avenue was then chosen because it places the building within easy access of all parts of the city. ACtive work was begun on the building August 30,1907; and on October 5, 1908, the school was opened for the enrollment of pupils and the organization of classes. Regular work was begun within a week in all departments with an attendance of over 700 pupils. Only 123 of this number came from other high schools, thus verifying the prediction that the school would create its own field in a high school population whose wants had hitherto not been met. The number of pupils grew at an astonishing rate, and in 1911 the enrollment reached 1540 pupils. Then was seen the necessity of a similar school on the West Side. Work was begun on a building at Franklin and West 93rd Street, in 1911, and in 1912 West Tech opened its doors. Even with this outlet the enrollment of the mother school again crept upand is now 1515. West Tech is not far behind in attendance, so one can see that the technical schools will have a great influence on the men and women of tomorrow. 10 THE JUNE BUG THE FACULTY James F. Barker ......

Two or three of the mo earned and energetic girls, bent on getting the twenty honors required for a Firemaker, were absorbed in sewing on baby clothes which they were making for a charity club. Near them a girl with a broad intelligent forehead, lay in a hammock and turned at regular intervals the pages of a book on nature lore. Her slippers stood on the floor beside the hammock, and her stockinged feet were crossed; mentally she was picturing her slender white arms adorned with the strangely carved emblems of a Firemaker's bracelet. The majority of the girls lounged about in chairs and on cushions, occupied with nothing, while twoorthree lay full length on the floor, gasping for breath in the sultry August heat. Suddenly one of the figures on the floor lifted her head, and then with an effort, raised herself to a sitting posture. “Oh dear,” she sighed. “Who’s for bathing?” No one answered. The girl in the hammock turned another page, and the others maintained their silence. The girl on the floor, now sitting with her hands about her knees, again asked her question. “Oh, Jean,” came from the depths of the mosft comfortable rocker, “please let us alone sometimes. You are so strenuous.” “Very well, miss!” was the retort, “you're so half dead and stupid you make me sick!” Picking up her wide flapping straw, the speaker dropped sulkily off the edge of the porch and sauntered away thru the trees, stopping with sudden delight as her eye caught sight of some blackberry bushes. She tasted the fruit, but it was not to her liking and she disgustedly turned to resume her walk. But her attention was suddenly arrested by a weak plaintive cry. She burrowed her way among the bushes, receiving many an ugly scratch from the long sharp thorns, and snatched up a tiny gray objedt. She pondered a moment and then suddenly smiled. Gathering up her skirt so as to make a bag she stowed the kitten in rather roughly, and then with a few fallen leaves she covered the furry body and returned to the cottage. She went in by the kitchen door. Ruth McFarland, the pretty delicate-looking blonde of Camp Fire Club, was late in going to bed that night. She sat by the window a while to wait 44 THE JUNE BUG for the cool night air to blow the sun-bum from her cheeks. Then she crept to bed, throwing her feverish head on the pillow with a sigh of relief. Suddenly a weak and plaintive cry close to her ear startled her. Uttering a sharp piercing scream, she jumped onto the floor, shivering with fear and crying hysterically. The scream served to awaken the whole house. Soon Jean was guessed as the maker of the trouble and brought to the room. ''Jean,” said Miss Powell, the guardian, severely, do you realize what serious trouble might have resulted from this prank of yours?” Jean looked penitent and ashamed. You know, Jean,” continued the woman less severely, Ruth is nervous and high strung. If anything serious had happened to her neither you nor I would have been forgiven, would we?” No’m,” said Jean meekly. And now, Jean,” —the guardian’s manner was becoming more kind,— “you’re going to try and make up for this thoughtless piece of fun and be a different girl?” “Yes’m,” said Jean, and slipped away to her room. All went well for a day or two. Jean was putting on her good behavior. Three days after the kitten episode, a telegram was received at the cottage, announcing the arrival of the general favorite, Ada Stuart. The girls drove down to the Nation to meet her. During the homeward trip Jean drove, and as soon as the Nation was lo from view her daring spirit stirred itself. When she suddenly gave the horse a sharp cut with the whip, the surprised and frightened animal broke into a lumbering bewildered run. The faint moo of a cow coming just then thru the trees served to frighten him still more. He shied and with a quick jerk landed the girls in a heap on the soft grass, Jean on top of them all, her sides shaking with laughter. But the others were not inclined to look at the matter so good naturedly. Mighty careless of her,” complained Ruth. We all might have been hurt.” Oh, she never thinks of anything but herself,” said another. She took good care to fall on top of us.” The seriousness of the event failed to impress Jean, and after a day of humility and docility she was her same old self again. One afternoon, when people from the city were visiting the camp, the smooth flow of conversation on the porch was interrupted by a stream of water issuing from the garden hose. I didn’t mean to do any harm,” said poor Jean, but that dog from the next camp is always prowlin’ around our ice house. He got under the porch and I tried to get him away from here.” Jean seems to forget that one of the requirements of a Camp Fire girl is truth,” said Ada to the group on the porch, with sarcastic superiority. Jean’s eyes filled with tears. The stinging words had cut deep. To be accused of untruthfulness was to Jean a terrible thing. She wondered how a girl like Ada could be such a favorite. For several days Jean was quiet and spiritless—there were no more jokes. For a week life at the cottage was very dull and monotonous. Even in this hilly country the heat was very often intense. The morning of the twenty-sixth of August dawned hotter and more sultry than any day for weeks. THE JUNE BUG 45 Needles uck in cloth and could hardly be pushed through. Sweaty fingers spotted books, and the usually cool and comfortable porch was almost a place of torment. Finally Ada proposed the lake and swimming, a diversion which would afford a chance for teaching the newer members the stunt and would earn honors. Everybody accepted but Jean, who, with her eyes half closed and her arms hanging limply over the arms of the rocker, sulkily shook her head. Later on, growling, she went to the kitchen. “Hello, Maggie!” she called. Maggie, the cook, her usually good natured Irish face now red and cross, looked up from her work at the range but seeing who it was did not answer. It’s hot here,” complained Jean. Well, thin,” ungraciously, if yez don’t like it, git out.” What are you making?” asked Jean, but seeing Maggie was not going to answer she walked over to the range. Accidentally she brushed against a row of pans Maggie kept near the stove, and with a clash and clatter the brightly polished pans fell to the floor. This sharpened Maggie’s temper still more, and with her wooden spoon cluched in her hand she drove the offender from the premises. The saints have mercy on yez if yez come around here again, she called angrily bandishing the wooden spoon in the air. With the feeling of one who is sadly misunderstood, Jean disconsolately wandered off to join the party at the lake. Threatening black clouds were rolling up in the heavens, and the air was thick and heavy with dust and heat. Thru the still trees she caught sight of the girls splashing playfully in the water, and quickening her steps she was soon among them. The swimming was so pleasant that no one paid any attention to the coming storm until astreak of lightning flashed thru the sky, followed swiftly by a crash of thunder. Headed by Jean, who had not yet undressed, the dripping party ran to the comfortable shelter of a summer house about fifteen feet from the water’s edge. Half way there Jean stopped, but the others ran on unheeding. Where’s Jean?” asked Ada after a few moments, and Ruth?” she continued with growing alarm. Why, why! there in the lake!” said another greatly surprised, and look, Jean’s holding somebody!” So great was their curiosity to see what Jean was now doing that in spite of the steady downpour and flashes of lightning they rushed from the shelter of the summer house into the pelting rain. When they reached the lake they saw the two missing girls in the midst of the tumbled water. Ruth, only half conscious from fear and from the water she had gulped was struggling shoulder deep in the heavy mass, and Jean was vainly trying to grasp her. Don’t splash so, Jean!” called someone from the awe stricken crowd on the shore. Ju then there came a terrible crash of thunder, and a sudden gu t of wind drove the water blindingly in their faces. A mass of large foamy waves hid the girls in the water from sight. The awe on the shore changed to terror as the party realized that the girls were under water. Then the waves subsided a little, Jean’s black head shot up thru them, and a second or two later her strong arm had pulled Ruth to her side. 46 THE JUNE BUG Now if they only get to shore!” breathed Ada with a gasp. But Jean, an unusual swimmer, was capable of getting safely in. Though handicapped by waves and rain she managed in a few moments to pull herself and Ruth onto the sand. All of Jean’s former pranks were forgotten. Only the present was remembered. Embracing her, they anxiously inquired how she happened to see; how she had been able to swim in her clothes; and above all, how she was feeling. She thrust them off with embarrassed laughter. “It was nothing at all,” she said. A few days later, it being the last Friday in the month, the girls dressed in their Indian robes and marched single file to a ceremonial. Making the sign of the fire, they seated themselves about the pile of brushwood and listened to the Ode to the Fire.” The red yellow flames fast consumed the sticks and twigs as the girls one and all were presented the honors. The last thing was the report of good deeds for the month, and after all had told of some kind deed they had seen done, Miss Powell rose, her face expressing an emotion she could hardly conceal. Girls,” she began, last Tuesday, you remember, one of our number risked her life in a thunder storm to save another who was drowning. I am sure we all deeply appreciate what she has done and to show our appreciation I now present to her in the name of the Camp Fire Girls of America the much coveted bead for heroism.” Jean stared incredulously at the guardian. Her face was white, and her eyes large and black as she stared from one girl to the other. “I'm waiting, Jean,” the guardian smiled. Then Jean came forward in a dazed and awkward fashion, unable to realize that the bead was really hers. “You deserve it, Jeanie,” shrieked Ella Wilson above the uproar of applause, I couldn’t have done it, if I had the nine lives of a cat!” Who dares to mention cat!” cried Jean, laughing thru her tears. THE JUNE BUG 47 I WAS A PAPER BOY HUBERT C. DRECIfSLER ALF buried in a huge leather arm-chair, I satdozing before the com fort able fire in the grate. A dull thud on the porch roused me from my reverie, and the startled cat leaped from my lap. Then I realized that it was only the evening paper, not the knock of one of my humorous friends, and I again relaxed. Still the thought of the paper lingered, and this brought back memories of the time when I myself was a poor, martyred and misjudged newsboy. Shortly after New Year’s Day two years ago, I chanced to meet a friend of mine who was a newsboy. He unfolded to me the joy and bliss of a newsboy after New Year’s. He told me how the money had poured into his pockets in a golden stream, through the munificence of his more than liberal customers. He boasted that he had money enough to buy peppermint drops for the red of the year and dill have money left. The next day he further enforced his point by coming to my home and proudly exhibiting a shining new Daisy air-rifle. Then I was convinced; I too would be a paper boy. For the next week I pestered my father and mother until in sheer exhaustion they consented to my becoming a newsboy. It was unbelievable that I should fall into such a fairy land of joy. For the next week I ran errands all day long, and never thought of asking my little sifter to help. One day, coming home from the dore, I was minus a loaf of bread. I couldn’t explain where it was, but was almost certain that I had brought the bread. About an hour later when I came downstairs from the attic, where I had been exploring for my brother’s paper-bag, my mother showed me the loaf of bread. She had found it nestling against the front door in rather a battered condition. Evidently my delivery of the paper was premature, for in my thoughtless wandering I had mistaken it for the evening paper. Next morning as I was eagerly scanning the want ads in the morning paper I saw my opportunity. Recklessly sliding and diving into my clothes, I tore the distance into shreds in my hurry to get that job. Having secured the job by virtue of my being the only applicant, I walked home on air. It seemed impossible that I was to get money every week and also be given pocketfuls on New Year’s Day merely for the privilege of carrying about a few papers and throwing them on people’s porches. It always makes me sad to think of all the energy misdire 5ted in cabbage throwing on Hallowe’en night when it might be used to such an advantage in this profession. I was to report the next Monday afternoon at half pad three. At half pad two I was shivering at the appointed spot, and could not account for the fad that the regular boy was not yet there. I had thought that it would be a pleasure for him to come half an hour early. That is what I planned to do every night. Shortly after half pasfl: three the ungrateful boy came, was given his papers, and lazily motioned me to come along. The way led down Euclid Avenue, and included several cross streets on which were located many large apartments. I was overwhelmed by the generosity of the boy, who allowed me to carry the bag. Instead of the few papers I had expeded, however, the bag 48 THE JUNE BUG contained one hundred and thirty! I must have looked funny, shambling down the street, my overcoat knotted about my body, trying to manage the unwieldy bag which was doing its bed to get between my legs and trip me. Thus I followed the boy like a faithful dog for three nights, after which I was given a lid of the houses. I then tried my luck alone. That third night along with the papers came a new bag. Its clean white canvas bore the words, “The Cleveland News.” It seemed tome this new bag did its bed to shout about the streets, “Paper boy,see the new paper boy!” That evening I was later than usual in getting home, and this continued for a week or more. I suppose this was due to my clumsy efforts to fold the paper so that it would sail through the air. I confess that I made many ridiculous attempts, tying it in all sorts of knots to get that familiar, flat, square missle that has long since lod semblance to a paper. In spite of my father’s advice to wait until the weather was warmer and dart nearer New Year’s, I had insisted on carrying papers without further delay. Idartedintheearlypartof February, when it was icy and cold. When my hands were nearly numb it took great resolution to resist throwing the papers down the sewer. Now instead of marching proudly down the street under my burden I found that they were an added encumbrance when I was unfortunate enough to be engaged in a snowball fight. When I first started to carry papers it was a pleasure to walk five floors in order to place the paper under the lady’s door. Now it was just as much a pleasure to throw the paper up to the fifth, and trust the sinister lady there would dig it out of a snow pile before it became too dark to see even the snow. I remember one night I tried three times to throw it up to a fifth floor suite but the wind was blowing so hard it would not go any farther than I could have thrown a baby grand. When I had a customer on one side of the street I recognized that I could save time by throwing the paper across from the other side. After a month’s practice I became so expert that I could throw at the door and nine times out of ten hit the window. One dear old lady to whom I deemed it my especial privilege to be polite, misjudged me grossly. I had made it a pradice to place her paper under the door. One night I was in a great hurry to get home, as I expected to go to the indoor circus, and I threw the paper across from the other side of the dreet. My aim was true and it sailed straight, but alas, it did not hit the door. The dear old lady, expecting me, had opened the door. The paper sailed relentlessly on, hit her one caressing bump and then dopped. I fled amid the fragments of seven different languages, feeling that when I died I would certainly go to the berth that she had mentally reserved for me in a dark and sulphurous cavern. After I had faithfully carried my papers for about four months I was promoted. I was now boss of the comer. In this capacity I had to count out papers for five boys, exclusive of myself. I was nearly always the first boy on the comer but was absolutely sure to be the lad to leave. If one of the boys was late I had to wait around until he came. If, when he came, he would kindly pry me out of the frozen slush, I could proceed on my way. For this I received fifty cents a week, which I usually spent for Smith’s cough drops or a warm cup of chocolate with a stale marshmallow floating on the top, thus bringing the wrath of my mother upon me when I returned minus my appetite. THE JUNE BUG 49 When a holiday came, that brought me fresh woes. On such mornings I would shiver around the house at four o’clock, vainly trying to make coffee from eggshells. Failing in this I would generally chip off a few pieces of frozen milk and put them into some tea which I had found left in the tea-pot from the night before. The papers came on the four-thirty car and I had to be on hand to get them out of the street. Then after I had finished my route, I would go home and finish my sleep. After I had carried about ten months I was to ta e my final glory. New Year’s Day was coming. Before New Year’s I had all the holes in my pockets sewed up so that I would be sure to lose none of this stupendous wealth which was to be mine New Year’s. I started out with a light heart and a heavy supply of greetings. These greetings took the form of neat calendars for which I had to pay three cents apiece. I wondered if my faithfulness would be rewarded in this house. The lady came to the door and I explained my mission. Then came the surprise of my life. I was emphatically told that this was the second time I had tried to sell her an old piece of card-board that she would not hang in the coal-bin. Evidently she did not care for me or my greetings. It was not surprising that she should not care for me, but I saw no reason why she should disdain to accept my pretty greeting. Oh well, at the next house I would fare better. A pompous looking woman appeared at the door and relu antly admitted that the greetings were very neat. She then withdrew to get her purse, reappeared and handed me, not a dollar bill, but a cute little car ticket. I returned the ticket with a greeting, thanked her profusely and departed. Even if I did lose three cents on the deal, I had displayed a bur t of generosity unparalleled in my nature. Luckily for me, my patrons were not all of this nature, and after these two painful episodes I fared very well. Although I could not buy a house or even an automobile with my money, still I realized nearly ten dollars from the sale of my greetings. I had carried nearly a year now, and the novelty of the thing was beginning to pall. By the end of the next month a new boy had taken my place, another recruit had joined the ranks of the “has-beens,” and I had passed through one of the stages of progressive boyhood. Bang! 50 THE JUNE BUG BACK HOME CHARLES GIBSON DAZED, and tremblingfrom weakness, I daggered Irom the comer where my father had thrown me. Blood flowed freely from the numerous cuts on my back and shoulders, where he had lashed me with his whip. My bare feet and shins were mottled with ugly green bruises where he had kicked me with his heavy boots; and all this because I had refused to be his slave any longer while he slouched around in his disgusting fits of drunkenness. When I told him this, he, with a loud oath that was half roar, sprang at me in a mad fit of frenzy, lashing and kicking me until he threw me, bleeding and exhausted, into the corner, where he left me while he returned to his beloved drink. Now that I had asserted my rights I was bound to have them recognized. I would leave this cruel, inhuman brute and shift for myself. I closed the door and dropped the heavy oaken bar into place and, taking one of the potato sacks which had constituted my bed, I collected the poor remnants of clothing that I possessed and Stowed them in it. This done, I walked into the next room to my only living relative, my drunken father. There he lay, sprawled out on the floor, sleeping the senseless sleep of the habitual drunkard. His puffy, grimy hands clutched at the bare boards with a frantically rigid grip. Over his swollen, flushed face spread a half grin. I seized him roughly by the shoulder and shook him. His grip relaxed, and stirring slightly, he gave vent to a feeble grunt. After several proddings and shakings, he reluctantly raised himself to a sitting posture. “Wha’ ya’ wan?” he muttered sleepily, swaying unsteadily from side to side. “Father,” I cried, summoning all my courage, “I’ve had enough! I've never been like other boys. Ever since I can remember— I reached over and shook him in an attempt to arouse him from the Stupor into which he had again fallen. I partly succeeded,and as he sat on the floor, slouching heavily against the wall, I poured forth a wild unconnected Story of his negleCt, his cruelty, and of my own suffering. During this recital he Stared at me, owlishly blinking his puffed red eyes, as if he were trying to grasp some difficult problem. “Father,” I snapped, “I’m through;” and I Started for the door. I think he realized that I was going away to Slay, for he Staggered to his feet, rubbed his eyes, and, his ugly drunken mood changing, began to whimper and snivel. “Son, ye ain’t goin’ to leave me, are ye?” he cried. “I’m an ole man, son, an’ I need someone to take care o’ me; so ye’ll Stay here, won’t ye, son? Ye’ll Stay wi’ yer ole dad?” I looked at him with disguSt and repulsion. I was so angry that it was with difficulty that I forced myself to speak. “I’m going. Good-bye,” I said. Throwing open the door, I Stalked out, leaving him sobbing and blubbering. After reaching the main road I walked Steadily until the hot summer sun was high above my head. I then Stopped under a large branching elm to eat THE JUNE BUG 51 the lunch of apples 1 had gathered in an orchard I had passed. After finishing my repast, I lay down with my sack for a pillow and gazed into the beautiful blue background of the sky, into which were blended snowy patches of white, fleecy clouds. How different it all was from yesterday’s blackness, when the gloom in my mind had ca£t its gray, hopeless pallor over all my surroundings. Everything was fresh and new. The grass had never seemed so green before. The brooks had never rippled so gaily nor sparkled so brightly as did the one in front of me. Surely the birds had never sang so sweetly as they did now. The sighing elm, the laughing brook, the quivering grass, and the happy birds, all seemed to be singing, “He is free! He is free!” The soothing thoughts and reflections that came to me as I lay beneath the friendly old elm, while the velvety summer breezes smoothly caressed my face, cheered me greatly, and when I resumed my walking I was in better spirits. 1 had not tramped far when I heard the rattling and banging of a wagon bumping down the road. I looked around, and seeing that the vehicle was not loaded and had only one occupant, I sauntered slowly along, hoping that the driver would invite me to ride. Nor was I disappointed. As the wagon drew abreast of me, he called loudly in a deep, cheerful voice: “Whoa!” I turned. “Hello, lad,” he said. “Ye goin’ my way?” I nodded. “Hop on then,” he said, and I clambered up onto the high seat with him. After a few preliminary remarks about his team, the weather, the need of rain, and other topics of local interest, he turned diredly to me. “Where ye goin?” he asked. My answer of “I don’t know” seemed to make him uneasy for the moment. “Ye ain’t no tramp, are ye?” he asked suspiciously. My negative answer evidently relieved him for he laughed a loud, hearty laugh, probably at the absolute absurdity of his question. He seemed so kind and congenial after this, that before I knew it I was telling him my story in a wholehearted, boyish way. While I talked, this simple minded old farmer gazed at me open-mouthed, and after I had finished, he pulled out a huge, ugly red ’kerchief, and blew his nose lustily. Loudly clearing his throat, he turned to me with a pitiful attempt at sternness. “Boy, I don’t uphold no one in runnin’ off from home, but I got a son o’ my own, lad, an’ you come along home with me, an’ I’ll put ye’ to work on th’ farm, an’ I’m sure Mother c’n make ye comf’ter'ble.” You may be sure I consented without hesitation, for I felt sure that in this coarse old farmer I had found a true and steadfast friend. Soon we turned into a narrow lane and drove up to a neat little green and white farm house. The home spot was beautiful. The house was built on a symmetrical knoll covered with a thick, green lawn. In front of the house, and just behind thegreen and white fence, was a row of tall, Viatel ye vergreens, which, with their white-washed trunks, helped to bear out the prevailing combination of colors. Back of the house stood the barn and out-buildings, clustered about which were the various implements possessed by every farmer. 52 THE JUNE BUG Alighting, we went into the house. “Mother” was preparing dinner. I had never in all my life seen such a dear old lady. She must have noticed that something was amiss, for she never asked me a question about myself, but considerately told me I could “either set in the parlor or go out an’ look around.” I accepted the latter invitation and sauntered out to the barn. Inside I saw a boy of about my own age and size feeding the cattle. I went in and spoke to him, told him who I was, and why I was there. He held out his hand. “So you’re to be my brother? I know we’ll git along fine, ’cause I,—I like you already,” he said. We talked till the dinner bell rang; then we raced to the house. “Mother” proved an excellent cook, and even from my first meal in my new home I was treated as a member of the family. The feelings existing between them were evident. The secrets of one were those of all, and, as I found, I myself was included in the family circle. No one could have equalled the kindnesses that were shown me. Their own son had nothing that I did not have. We were treated exa 5tly alike. For a long time I was blissfully happy, and then a new feeling crept in, and I began to contract this with my own home. Each night when I climbed into my fragrant straw bed, I thought deeply of the quarrelsome existence we had led together, but nevertheless, thought more kindly of my father, and the end was that I began to think that perhaps it had not all been his fault. I tried to plan some way by which we might live as I now lived, and as a father and son who have no one but each other should live, contentedly and harmoniously. It was one evening about eight months after my arrival, that I expressed a desire to go back home. How well I remember that evening! We all sat together, talking over the affairs of the day, when a deep longing seized me, and I cried for my drunken father, cried like a baby for the renewal of my old wretched life, cried for the rickety old house and barn, cried because it was Home. The old farmer looked at me long and steadily before he spoke. “Lad, have ye thought well? It may mean—” “It may mean?” I cried. “It will mean hard work and thanklessness! It will mean suffering and poverty! It will mean anxiety and sorrow, but it will be my own home!” “We all hate t’ see ye go, son,” he said brokenly, “but God knows ye ought, so I’ll take ye home in the mornin’.” Next morning we started, after a tearful good-bye and my promise to come back often. I remembered my journey over the same road eight months before, remembered the old elm whose branches were just regaining their beautiful green, remembered the cheerful little brook that was just released from the icy clutches of winter, remembered the now budding orchard where I had procured my mid-day meal that eventful day; and now I was really going home. Soon we sighted the old house. I jumped for joy. A new coat of paint adorned it. In front was a new picket fence. Scattered about the yard were young trees recently planted. Everything was changed. The whole place seemed to radiate a sweet clean breath of freedom. Enthusiastically I jumped from the wagon. Madly I ran up the steps. Wildly I opened the door and rushed inside. I stopped and glanced hurriedly THE JUNE BUG 53 around me. The old furniture had given place to new articles, arranged in orderly fashion about the room. The grimy bare plaster of the wall was hidden by clean paper. For a moment I Stood there, just inside the door, too happy for words, drinking in the new atmosphere with which the whole place seemed permeated; then I called, “Father.” A sharp chill struck me when I received no answer. Again and again I called, but all I heard was the echo of my own voice reverberating through the silent house. I listened. Hurried footsteps sounded on the Stair. I flew into the next room to meet my—. It was a woman. She saw me and topped. “Wha— what do you want?” she asked. I frantically strove to explain, incoherently asking for “Father,” calling him by name, struggling in some way to make her understand. Slowly she came toward me. “My poor boy,” she said gently. “Don’t you know your father is not here?” “Whe— where is he?” I cried, an agony of suspense in my voice. “My poor boy,” she repeated softly, “your father is dead. He—.” I Staggered back, uttering a shrill scream. Stunned, I stumbled thru the door, down the Steps, and out of the yard. Unthinkingly, I climbed into the waiting wagon. The old man seemingly understood it all, for he said not a word, but clucked to the old grey team, and we slowly Started down the road; the road toward Home. 54 THE JUNE BUG THE UNDER-DRIVE LATHE CARL HAMBURGER The term under drive lathe” refers to a lathe that is driven by a motor, countershaft, or foot lever operated under the lathe. Such a lathe has lately been designed and drawn by the students of Technical High School, and the patterns are now being made in Mr. Rolinson’s Pattern Shop. This lathe is operated in same manner as the 8 speed lathe so far as the working parts are concerned, except that the pulleys are driven from under the lathe instead of from above on a counter shaft fastened to the ceiling. This shaft requires bearings and pulleys and may be driven by a motor. The boys that make lathes do not, as a rule, intend to operate more than one, therefore, they have designed this under-drive model for their own use. If the lathe proves satisfactory, there will be a great demand for them on the part of the students of this school. UNDER-DRIVE LATHE THE JUNE BUG 55 OUR ELECTRIC IRON Designing and making an eleCtric flat-iron seems, off hand, like a big problem even for the skilled workers of a great manufacturing concern, a thing not to be thought of by high school boys. Yet this is the lateSt piece of work that has come from the pupils of Mr. Freeman’s EleCtrical Construction class, and the handsome nickle-plated irons are now being used in the sewing and millinery classes. Every process in the making of these irons has been performed by the pupils of our school. Under the able direction of Mr. Freeman the iron was designed in the Eledtrical Construction Department. Those of you who have ELECTRIC IRON seen the inside of an electric iron will be interested to learn that the heating element—the thing that makes the iron hot—is a thin metal ribbon that extends over the inner surface of the iron. Of course this ribbon is highly insulated so that the girls who use the iron won’t get any unexpected shocks. The drawings for them were made in Mr. Matthew’s drawing class, then the patterns were turned out in the pattern shop, and the castings made in the foundry. Necessarv machining was done it the machine shop. Finally the iron was assembled in the Eledtrical Construction Department, copper plated and nickel plated. You see the result in the picture, a beautiful and efficient piece of handiwork that will Stand as one of the many monuments to Tech High training. 56 THE JUNE BUG THE 24 INCH BAND SAW ALFRED J. SPRAGUE The band saw is designed to cut wood into shapes having curved surfaces and edges, something that cannot be done with an ordinary saw. Before the band saw came into use the old “arm-strong” method was common. This consisted of a narrow saw blade stretched in a wooden bow and worked by hand. The next Step toward the band saw was the scroll or jig saw. In this the saw blade was made to move up and down through a table, and it could be run either by foot or power. The jig saw was perfected and improved upon until, instead of having a blade to pass up and down, an endless saw blade was Wretched over two wheels, one above and one below a table, and as they revolved they carried the blade through the table as a belt or band. This was called the band saw. The band saw has proved to be of great benefit to the wood-working industry. Work which heretofore had to be done by hand, involving much time and labor, can now be done easily by means of the band saw. As the wood is pushed along the table, it is held firm by the downward movement of the rapidly moving saw blade which cuts its way easily through the wood. There is no time loSt by the saw blade going up again, as there is in the scroll saw. At the present time there are six band saws installed in the wood shops of this school. These are all of the 36 inch size, so called because the wheels which carry the saw are 36 inches in diameter. It was found that more saws were needed in our shops and that a smaller size could be installed to advantage. So a 24 inch band saw was designed by Carlson, Sprague, Canfield, and other members of the trade class in Machine Drawing. This machine is much lighter and smaller than the one now in use and will be used by the classes in Cabinet Making. The special features of this machine are: self-oiling bearings; the adjusting mechanism for the top bearing; the tilting table; the encasing of the lower wheel. In the bearings, the shaft is oiled by two rings which are hung over it in such a way that the lower part of each is immersed in oil. This runs through an oil cellar extending the length of the bearing. Thus the oil is carried onto the shaft by the rings, makes its way along to the ends of the bearing, and runs back into the oil cellar. The top bearing is adjustable so that it can be lowered to allow for the shortening of the saw. The table is made to tilt 45 degrees on one side and 30 degrees on the other, so that the wood may be sawed on an angle. The lower wheel is enclosed in a wooden box having two doors. This is a safeguard againSt any accident which might occur by the operator’s clothing being drawn into the lower wheel. Part of the drawings are finished, besides some of the patterns which are now in the machine shop. THE JUNE BUG 57 MAKING OF POTTERY EDNA BAKER Haven’t you often wondered how those pretty pottery vases, tiles, and bowls were made? Did you not admire the color of the pottery, the soft, dull, mat glaze and the bright cheerful gloss glaze? Pottery ware is made by the process of building, cabling and turning. The beginner first learns to build a tile. The clay is swedged to get a fine even texture. It is then put on a piece of slate and worked with the fingers until flat and smooth. A design is put on the tile by placing rice paper on the desired place and tracing carefully with a pencil or modeling tool. This leaves an impression in the soft clay. The design is then dug out to an even depth, with modeling tools which vary in size and shape. In building a bowl the first thing made is the foundation, which consists of a smooth flat piece of clay. Then a long thin 3trip of clay is placed on the foundation around the edge and is welded into the foundation. These strips are placed one upon the other and are welded firmly together. A template is cut out of cardboard the desired size, and this held up beside the bowl, and the clay is worked until it fits the template. Casing is the easiest part of the process. The ca£t is made of placer of Paris and the slip poured in at the top of the ca£t. The slip is a mixture of SAMPLES OF POTTERY clay and water run through a sieve to remove grit. The planter absorbs the water quickly and the clay thickens around the inside of the ca . When it is the desired thickness the remainder of the slip is poured off. When the clay is sufficiently dry the ca£t is taken apart and the desired piece comes out perfect. It mu be washed smooth, so that it will not show where the ca was divided. On some of the larger vases such designs as apples, pears, or bunches of grapes are modeled with the fruit raised so that it looks good enough to eat, and with the leaves curled up as if the frost had bitten them. 58 THE JUNE BUG There are not many turned pieces of pottery made by the students, for half of them would lose the clay out of the chucks. Some of the ca£t pieces are put on the lathe however and are smoothed down with plenty of water. The clay muSt be allowed to dry thoroughly and then it is ready for the firSt firing. When the pottery comes out of the biscuit firing it is Still porous and is then ready to be glazed. This is the fascinating part of the work, because one never knows what the result will be. When one pours on blue glaze and then it turns out green, well, that’s one of the interesting things a-bout glazing! The glaze is made up of felspar, flint, and kaolin, mixed with different coloring matters, such as black oxide of cobalt and green oxide of chrome. They are teSted on a clay tile. This gives the color of the glaze and sometimes different glazes are mixed together, giving better effedls than a formula. The kiln has to be heated to a very high temperature and this is regulated by a pyrometric cone. The temperature that is required by .04 cone is 1958 degrees Fahrenheit. The kiln is packed very carefully so that none of the pieces touch for if they should touch, the glaze would run together and the pieces could only be separated by breaking them. After the heat has been turned off the pottery is not taken out of the kiln at once but must cool off, a process which takes from eighteen to twenty-four hours. THE BENCH GRINDER VICTOR PTAK THE BENCH GRINDER is a machine used for grinding tools, and for finishing small metal articles. As some of our departments did not have these machines, it was decided to design one for our shops. This new bench grinder consists of a caSt-iron frame, constructed so that two emery wheels can be attached to it, one coarse and one fine. These wheels are 9 inches in diameter. Water guards are fastened above and extend over the backs of the wheels to catch the water thrown off. The BENCH GRINDER water drops on the wheels from a tank fastened to the guards. A caSt iron pan has been made for the bottom of the machine, to catch the drippings. Power for the grinder will be supplied from the main shaft. THE JUNE BUG 59 The machine will be used either on the bench or on a cast-iron pedestal that is being made for it. All of the drawings have been designed by our students. All patterns have been made by the day-school pupils, but the night-school pupils have assisted us a great deal in the work. Each shop in our school will receive one of these grinders, which means an addition of ten or twelve of these machines to the equipment of our school. erhaps you have imagined that Mr. Kennedy’s Art Room is in no way connected with the more practical work of the shops. If so, you are mistaken, for the art work is so planned that it does have a very evident effedt on the other technical subjects. As one proof of this let us take the designing and working out of an inlaid wood panel for Mr. Wydman’s fine course in woodwork. Fourteen of the more advanced pupils are given the dimensions of the panel and the subjedt, which is to be either a boat scene or a landscape. Upon this basis each pupil goes to work as his imagination didtates, always keeping in mind the use of the panel and the material to be employed. The firSt plan, or cartoon, is worked in charcoal, great care being given to the composition as a whole. Certain rules are followed, which are briefly as follows: Not to allow the background to be cut into equal, or uninteresting spaces; To keep one object as a center of interest; To have motion, which, in the ship problem, is brought in by the movement of the waves and the sails. When these charcoal drawings are completed, the next step is to work the plan into the different woods and colors as it will be finally done in the Cabinet Shop. So the outlines of the charcoal pidture are next traced on heavy water color paper. Then comes the question of seledting from many samples of finished woods the ones to be imitated in the pidture. In the case of the ship panel, the grain of Circassian walnut is found to give a good effedt of water. Again, a light birch makes a very natural looking sail. In painting the picture the general tones of the woods are laid on in flat washes. Then the grain is carefully imitated in a very heavy effedt. When the paint is thoroughly dry the picture is wet and well scrubbed with a paint brush till the color is faint and very smooth in texture. Again the paper is dried and the color applied as before. This process is gone thru three or four times till the picture has assumed the appearance and quality of wood. Then it is stretched and is at la£t finished. How differently the pupils have worked out the subjedt. Here we see a gallant Spanish man-o’-war of stained cherry sailing straight towards us with out spread sails of birch and dashing waves with white of the same wood. There is a trim little sailboat of red birch slipping way over rolling waves of Circassion walnut and birch, or a romantic scene of fumed oak woods with the moon peering thru the openings of the trees. A DESIGN FOR AN INLAY ALICE PADDOCK 60 THE JUNE BUG INLAY FOR PANEL Several of the plans are chosen and sent to Mr. Wydman. And behold! So cleverly is the work carried out, the wood chosen and fitted, that the finished panel is a perfed likeness of its plan. In this way we work in the different departments, each helping the other to get the bed and mod attradive results and carrying out the spirit of cooperation charaderistic of our Technical High School. THE JUNE BUG 61 COURSE IN MARQUETRY HUMBERT IACOBUCCI Marquetry is a new course now being offered to the wood-working pupils specializing under Mr. Wydman. Inlaying, parquetry, and marquetry are terms that are often misunderstood and misapplied. Inlaying is a method of decoration in which a space is first sunk in the wood and this space is filled with pieces of wood of contracting color forming a design. Parquetry is a kind of mosaic work used for ornamenting floors. Marquetry is the method of cutting inlay into a veneer. It was first developed in France during the eighteenth century. It was introduced into England in Queen Anne’s reign, and it is Ctill used there more than in any other country. The name is derived from the French ’’marqueter” meaning to mark, impress,” cut into. Several sheets of different colored woods in veneer are placed together under the same design, so that by one cutting several copies may be produced. Careful selection of wood is the first requirement for good marquetry. Harmony as well as quietness of tone must be obtained. No portion of the design should be unduly prominent; therefore, it is wise to confine the ornament to as few colors as is consistent with the desired effeCt It is desirable for the marquetry cutter to make his own design. For this reason a student specializing in wood work will be greatly benefited by a course in design. When a clear outline of the design has been made it is fixed over a thin, tough cartridge paper, and pricked thru both papers on the lines of the pattern. The projecting pieces surrounding the perforations in the lower paper are rubbed down with the finest glass paper that can be obtained. The pricking can be used as a pounce by duCting asphaltum thru the holes. The powder Stands in minute dots on the paper, which is then placed over a heating aparatus to allow the ashaltum to melt. It is then allowed to cool and harden on the paper. A considerable number of patterns can be obtained by this method. The “pounced pattern is paSted on the veneer which is to be one of the grounds. It is not advisable to cut less than three veneers at once, and as many as six can be cut without detriment to the work. To leave a clean cut on the veneers a piece of basswood or any inferior piece of wood is placed against the back veneer, to take all the burrings and breaking caused by the saw. The various woods forming the pattern are then selected and made separately and fastened together at the ground with a piece of inferior veneer at the back. On each of them is glued a pouncing of the portion of the pattern desired in the particular wood. In holding the veneers together fine steel pins are used from which the points are first clipped to prevent the wood from splitting. When driven through, the projecting points are riveted down. If the design is a long one the cut should be slightly waved. This allows the veneers to be placed more readily in their original position when put together. 62 THE JUNE BUG A variety of tone and effedt can be given to the veneers by the use of hot silver sand. This is known as “scorching.” The sand is warmed sufficiently and the wood is gently pressed into the sand, withdrawing it repeatedly to watch the effedt, so as not overdo it. This shading musft not take the place of the natural coloring obtained by a careful seledtion of woods. “Putting together” follows the cutting of the required pieces of the pattern. The veneers are glued on to a slightly larger piece of wood with one of the pouncings” between them. The use of the pouncing is to help the cutter lay out the pieces of [veneer in their original position. When complete it is rubbed in with thin glue and some fine sawdust; otherwise there would be no cohesion between the ground and the ornament. The panel is then scraped and cleaned and the veneers are stained so as to obtain the natural effedt of the design. THE JUNE BUG 63 DOMESTIC SCIENCE CLAUDINE JACOBSEN How short a time it seems since that September day when, a group of confused freshmen, we huddled around the door of 302, trying to identify the number over the door with that on the program. MoSt of us, as eighth grade students, had visited Tech the previous spring. These were the rooms, then, where we had seen white-aproned girls with an important air making delectable dainties, and now we were to be initiated into these mysteries. How facinating had been the drawers, with their knives, forks, spoons, bowls and sauce pans, each in its particular space. JuSt down the hall is the room where the pretty models had displayed the styles in millinery and sewing. Would we ever be skillful enough to make those dainty dresses and wonderful hats? Now as we near the end of our course here, and can look back over the work we have done, we see that it is divided into three diStindt departments, Cooking, Sewing and Art. The pupil’s first two years are spent in getting a general idea of each branch of the work. In Cooking she is taught to prepare the substantial and economical dishes, and to serve them in the moSt pleasing manner. About half the time is spent in Studying the science of cooking, the reSt in practical work. For example, we not only prepare and serve eggs, but we learn why an egg, or any dish made with eggs, is more easily digested when cooked at a low temperature. In the sewing department it seems a far cry from the simple holder with which we begin our work to the pretty dresses we saw at the exhibit. As we look back we see how each of these simpler articles had its purpose in preparing us for the more advanced work. We found ourselves advancing from 64 THE JUNE RUG hemming towels to making our cooking aprons, thence tomaking skirts, waists, and undergarments, and finally to making dresses. Of these laSt we make a light summer dress of some dainty material, a wool one and one of silk. All these articles are firSt planned in the Art room. Here we have our eyes opened to the value of the proper choice and combination of colors. It is here, too, that we learn to adapt some prevailing mode to our own individual style and to consider what the very tall, short, stout, or thin girl muSt do so as not to accentuate these peculiarities. At the end of two years one has a fair idea of the different kinds of work and consequently feels better able to choose one's course. At the beginning of the Junior year a girl has an opportunity to specialize in technical work. She may then enter the Trade Sewing, Trade Millinery, or Vocational Cooking classes, in any of which she spends five consecutive periods a day. In case one does not care to specialize, there is a general course open. As a continuation of Cooking, a Laundry and Home Nursing course is taken. The Junior year also offers a spring and fall course in Millinery. This is always an attractive course. We get the ideas for our designs from various places, the wholesale houses, retail stores, fashion books, and Euclid Ave. on a bright Sunday afternoon. Our art teacher usually takes the class in a body to one of Cleveland’s wholesale houses. This would be a great lark, if we were not required to make from ten to fifteen sketches of hats we think we might like. Each sketch muSt be accompanied by a short description, giving the exaCt color scheme. One of the interesting parts of this work comes after our design for the hat we intend to make has been approved. We have our silhouettes taken, and then comes the task of putting our proposed designs on these silhouettes, and no small task it is, for they juSt won’t set straight. They either tilt back or forward, making our drawings look as if they had been out all night. The next problem is that of color, and, oh my! Miss Ward simply cannot stand colors that hop fences. It is slow work for some of us to train our eyes to recognize harmonious color combinations. We make at least three hats during the season, one for ourselves, one for a child, and one for an older person. Perhaps the pleasantest period of all comes in the Senior year. Then many dainty and fancy dishes are prepared in Cooking, and in Sewing the complete graduation outfit is made, after it has been carefully designed in the Art room. THE JUNE BUG 65 Mary—Why don’t you like him? He wrote a poem to you, didn’t he? Dorothy—Yes, and called it Lines on Dorothy’s face.” He—Since you lo the bet, I think I can claim the forfeit. She—I really don’t know what you mean; and besides, someone might see us. Mr. Barker—Going to class regularly? Prouty—Nope. Sometimes I'm so sick I have to stay away and enjoy myself. Poor Dorothy was killed by an explosion yesterday.” How terrible! How did it happen?” A smile lighted up her face and touched off the powder.” Fir Sweet Thing—George is positively the most impolite man I have ever met! Second S. T.—What has he done? Fir t S.

Freshman—And many people right now are laboring under delusions. Student—Why did you give me only a G” on this essay? Teacher—You made one mistake.

I have three sons who are ciphers. 66 THE JUNE BUG BEING PLEASANT It is easy enough to be pleasant. When life goes along like a snap But the fellow worth while Is the one who can smile When he’s got ten zeros in math. It easy enough to be pleasant. When things go along on a trot. But the Techite worth while Is the guy who will smile When he spoils a month’s work in the shop. It is easy enough to be pleasant. When things go at a lively gait. But the chap will win Is the one who can grin, When he arrives in the lunch room late. It is easy enough to be pleasant. When Miss Campbell will help you by But the girl worth a rap Is the one who can laugh When she forgets to put lard in her pie. It is easy enough to be pleasant. How often we’ve listened to that!

Schettler—Why if the slightest thing goes wrong with the mechanism, the car instantly turns upside down. His hair is black as charcoal; His knowledge is well worth while. The girls all are at his pretty face, ’Cause he wears the cutest smile. Who is he? There was a young Techite named Green Who went up in his flying machine.

A porter on the third floor sees it passing the window and dives to catch it, but falls on a passing policeman. The ball continues bouncing while the porter recovers. What number was on the policeman’s badge, and what was the co£t of the ball? At League Park a peddler sells a bottle of milk for 5 cents. A bottle of milk and cream the same size codts 10 cents. A customer buys a 10 cent bottle but while drinking it a sudden commotion in the crowd causes him to spill some. Upon glancing up to discover the cause, he sees Jackson has broken his bat. Find how much milk he spilled, what 3tand he was sitting in, and how far from the handle the bat split? A and B can do a certain piece of work in 9 days. A can do the work in 14 days if B sleeps for 2 days. However if B re£ts 5 days, A can do the work in 11 days. Was B a heavy sleeper, and (2) was A a union man? A man in a motor boat races to a slake and returns, during which time the boat consumes one gallon of Red Crown gasoline. If the boat was painted yellow, find height of dtake out of water, also age of man. Two men £tart from a given point. After traveling on foot for a day, A rents a bicycle and overtakes B, who is one half mile ahead. At this point A’s bicycle collapses and he continues the journey in a hay wagon. Find what became of B, also make of tires A used. A policeman pursues a pickpocket thru an alley which is two miles long. After a chase of one-half mile the policeman falls over a garbage can and is delayed five minutes looking for his hat. The pickpocket continues his flight in a junk peddler’s wagon. If the policeman continues the pursuit in a 1905 Rambler, find time which will elapse before engine explodes, also weight of policeman. Lezin was standing in the street car. Every time the car moved he fell into somebody’s lap, so he went to the conductor and asked; How many laps to the mile?” They arrived in the second quarter of the game. Canfield (to a fan)— What’s the score? Fan—Nothing to nothing. Edna Baker—Oh, goody! We haven’t missed a thing. The parlor sofa held the twain, Miranda and her love sick swain, Heandshe. But hark!

THE JUNE BUG 81 82 THE JUNE BUG THE JUNE BUG 83 THE SOCRATIAN ON OCTOBER 2, 1913, the Socratian held its firSt meeting of the new school year. A few new members were suggested and voted into the club immediately, as several old members had graduated. A program was prepared, providing for a weekly extemporaneous debate and a prepared one once a month. Several interesting debates followed, with Mr. Taylor, the faculty member, as a critic. Due to his coaching, improvement was rapidly made, and this practice may be the reason why three Socratians were in the Commerce debate and two in the Lincoln debate. Mock trials are Staged now and then, as they offer variety and at the same time a lot of fun. Neither are social functions omitted from the club program. A dance was held at the Roadside Club, Thursday evening, April 2, which was attended by nearly every adtive member as well as by several alumni Socratians. Campbell and his orchestra rendered the music; refreshments were served; and, with the whole clubhouse at their disposal, everyone had an enjoyable time.

They therefore went ahead and organized the Scarabaean, a fitting name for a live” organization. The club meets once a week during the school year to discuss current literature and to hold debates. At every meeting one or two members are given a chance to practise public speaking before the club. With the help of Mr. F. W.

Last year the society presented the Christmas play, ’’Which is Which?” and the annual play, David Garrick.” A great deal of credit should be given to Christina Fitch and Lloyd Feder, who played the leading parts in David Garrick.” This year the society presented The Private Secretary,” which was, without a doubt, the be play given at Technical High School. John Anderson and Gladys Troescher were the £tars, although every one did exceptionally well.

To begin with, the gymnasium floor was found quite satisfactory, when properly doctored. The firSt informal demonstrated the truth of this. At the informals.the music, ices and other features were all that could be wished. Everyone had a good time and voted them “howling successes.” The firSt Senior Formal of the year took place Friday, January 16. The evening could hardly have been made more enjoyable. The music was even better than was expected,and the floor behaved beautifully. It is almoSt unnecessary to mention the refreshments. They appeared to be very much in favor. The committee in charge of the dances was as follows: Glenn Luckey Edna Baker Arthur Beckwith Charles Oppenheimer Christina Fitch Dorothy Greene Alexander McArt The senior class may well be proud of its social, and especially of the two senior formals. THE JUNIOR HOP HOMER MCCARTY Friday, December 19,1914, the Juniors held their annual informal “Hop,” which was reeled off with a “zip and a go.” Every couple present forgot school troubles as soon as the firSt dance began. After the firSt few glides all flocked to the northeaSt corner of the gym, where “Dot” Smit and Tom Britton endeavored to cool the bunch with that Stuff Telling is famous for. Everybody wanted to be served at the same time, and the place resembled Ma’s” during the rush hour. Britton was so busy eating that he couldn’t see anything but the ice cream freezer. The music, however, broke up this rally, and the dancing went on. The floor was almoSt perfedt, and all danced to their hearts' content to the Strains of Schueneman’s orchestra. The afternoon was a grand success. 102 THE JUNE BUG ALUMNI REUNION JOAN ROCK THE MILESTONES” in A Man’s World” are always never-to-be-forgotten unless he is a Ne’er-do-WeH” and has no sentiment for big moments and Good Times” in his life. The Alumni Reunion was surely never-to-be-forgotten and the crowd present was certainly representative of Tech High School with a capital T.” Contrary to la£t year, the dance was the secondary part of the reunion, instead: Manager E. M. Parmenter presents Douglass S. Campbell starring in ‘A Proposal under Difficulties’ supported by An All-Star Ca “Everyman” and “Everywoman” was there. “The Poor Little Rich Girl” came with the “Good Little Devil” and both had a good time. “The Spring Maid” danced by with the “Virginian” and the “Pink Lady” waltzed with the “Amateur Gentleman” and they were laughing. That is as the Reunion should be, a good time and a laugh for everybody. The gym did not look especially like “The Garden of Allah” although there were a few camels and monkeys. But it did remind one of a “Snow Palace” with the pillars and track wound with white. If Miss Parmenter had not lo her Seven Keys to Baldpate” and Mother” had not insisted that her Only Son” be home before The Dawn of a Tomorrow,” the party would have been perfection. Everybody had attained Years of Discretion” and remained Within the Law” about the new dances. Although some would have liked to tango, it was not necessary to bring out The Whip.” The Silver Horde” was not as gratifying as it might have been, because some of you Seniors and Alumni made dates for December 30th with some Naughty Marietta.” Hereafter don’t do anything so rash and remember the reunion is always on December thirtieth. Being a perfectly good school, we can’t dance on Sunday so when the thirtieth comes on that day we’ll dance on the twenty-ninth and welcome a few more Little Men” and Little Women” to our Alumni band. Remember December thirtieth, nineteen-hundred and fourteen.

The entertainment of the evening took the form of a progressive Stunt party. One of the beSt Stunts was the smelling contest. Twenty small bottles were passed around, containing horrible smells, such as the fragrance of limberger cheese, onions and rum(?). The idea was to guess the contents. Everybody was sniffing away at a bottle. Such wry faces as some people made. One little girl was positive that she had a bottle of horse-radish, but it turned out to be Too Much MuStard.” There were quick exclamations of Oh and Ah and Good night! take it away quick! that one could hardly think. Then we sat blindfolded at a table and listened eagerly to a 3tory of two cats who had been fighting on a fence one night, with the result that on the following morning only the remains were found. The stomach, head, liver and other parts of these victims?) were passed around the table. Our football warriors grew weak and frightened as they touched the slimy, cold remains. Take it quick!” screamed a girl, as she passed the eyes to her partner, who in the excitement threw his hands up in the air. Later one of the girls found a squeezed oyster in her dress. Mr. Barker, his face wreathed in smiles, watched admiringly and joined in the fun. When eleven o’clock came around, all were surprised. The crowd adjourned till the next football banquet should come around. Many of us, out in the world on that evening, will remember the fun we had at the Football Banquet” of nineteen hundred and thirteen. 104 THE JUNE BUG THE GIRLS’ PARTY ALMA DIPPEL IRLS! GIRLS! GIRLS! Girls everywhere! Tall girls, short girls, slender girls, fat girls, girls with raven locks and girls with golden locks, and here and there a girl with flaming red hair! Pink dresses, blue dresses and green dresses! But faces all alike, bright and happy. What a talking’ giggling and squealing went on till Everett Jones and his orchestra Struck up the lively Strains of the dance. Then after a moment of confusion, of running about calling, Where’s my partner! the floor was changed into a gay ballroom, with Miss King in the midSt. The moSt popular place was the refreshment Stand. Pink ices and white ices vanished as if by magic. About the middle of the dance, the little girl with light hair and the new 1914 walk, jumped on a chair and called out, Circle all!” What an awful rush and what a circle! FirSt they circled to the right, then a scramble, and away they went to the left. The sedate senior forgot her glory and even condescended to give the poor insignificant little flat a dance. All too soon the unwelcome bell sounded. “Pshaw! It isn’t time for us to go! Why it isn’t 5:30!’’ But sure enough it was and laughing and talking, happy over the good time they had had, the merry party closed. THE WIRELESS CLUB has been reorganized with a membership of ten. The history of this club is not a long one but its achievements are many. The club made an entire receiving set and put up an aerial running from the top of the smokestack to the roof near the front of the building. This aerial being too long for sending, a shorter one will be put up for this purpose. The club met and eledted its officers for 1914 on April 23.

Roth Carroll Bartlett Howard Gawne John Beswick George Anderson Howard Kirby THE JUNE BUG 105 THE SCHOOL CONGRESS MAURITA RIGHTMIRE THE SCHOOL Congress, a new feature at EaSt Technical High School, was organized in May, 1913. Pupils that are presidents of their home room organizations constitute the Congress. The officers are the same as those of other organized societies. In addition, there is a President’s Cabinet, composed of the presidents of five of the approved school societies. The purpose of the Congress is to consider regulations for the school and to place it as far as possible on a self-governing basis. After a bill has been passed by the Congress, it goes to the Principal for his signature. If signed by him, it becomes a rule of the school. The idea of self-government for our school was conceived by Mr. Barker after his visit to the George Junior Republic in New York State. This republic is peopled by students, and is governed, policed and supported by them. Our school, year by year, will advance toward a similar State of democracy, although it can never be an exadt reproduction of the George Junior Republic because ours is a public school. The Congressmen and Congresswomen gain experience and information which will be invaluable in after life. They are taught parliamentary drill, and learn how to discuss and express their opinions on the subjects which are brought up before the Congress. These boys and girls, who in the near future will have a part in the government of our great nation, will be prepared to do their duty intelligently. This is only one of the many institutions of our school which make for better and more capable men and women.

With an abundance of this spirit Tech opened the football season on Saturday morning, September, 27, 1913. Only three veterans appeared in the line-up and yet, in spite of this lack of experience, the team completely swamped South 74 to 0. The following week Tech lod to Central, but the defeat was no disgrace, for the game was never one-sided, Central gaining the lead in the lad twenty seconds of play. A week later the inability of Tech’s fad backfield to get started on a muddy, slippery field forced Tech to take the short end of a 6 to 3 score against Ead High. In spite of the fad that the chances for the championship were now very slim, the team played on with the same dash and spirit that had marked the earlier part of the season. Tech defeated Lincoln 29 to 3, and Glenville 40 to 0. The Saturday followingthe Glenville game Tech journeyed to Toledo to play Scott High School. Well, we found out later that Scott is a six-year high school. We lod 97 to 0, but our boys played a creditable game,considering the comparative weight and experience of the two teams. Some Toledo players had been on the team five years, and the team as a whole was equal to those of many colleges. The next game of the season was with Wed. Here again the field was very muddy, and the game ended in a scoreless tie. The final game of the season was with Wed Tech on Shaw field. In spite of the fad that this was only the second time the two teams had met, they played as if they had been rivals since football wasfird played in schools. Up until the final three minutes of the game there was no scoring. Then Wed Tech’s guard blocked one of Henderson’s drop kicks, and Fisher picked up the ball and ran sixty-five yards for a touchdown. This touchdown and a goal gave Wed Tech seven points. Ead Tech, playing with fury caused by the thought of possible defeat, made a touchdown in the short time that remained, but missed goal, and we had lod 7 to 6. no THE JUNE BUG We make no excuses for the games lod, for that might suggest that the team needed them. It does not. In every game, the entire team played its level bed, and was defeated at times only because its opponents played better football, not because Tech played poorly. Ead Tech is particularly proud of three features of the football season: fird of Captain Kohl, whose wonderful playing won him a place on the All-Scholastic team, second, of the entire team, which showed a dash and spirit that would make any season noteworthy; and lad of Coach Bell, to whom much credit is due for the enthusiasm displayed in all the games. Any coach can inspire a winning team, but few can take a team successfully through defeat. LINEUP Left End ...... Mead, McCune Left Tackle ..... Rodgers, Huberty Left Guard ......

However, in the games they did play the boys certainly showed that they were “there.” Central High seconds were swamped on Oct. 5 by a score of 47—6. The Chardon varsity barely succeeded in beating us 12—9 on October 10, but Tech finished the season by “scrubbing” up We3t Tech 7—0. Not only should the school give the second team great credit for the good work of the varsity, but the boys should be praised for the spirit with which they went out day after day and uncomplainingly took all the hard knocks of developing the varsity without getting any of the applause. However, their turn will come later. The second team is the training school for the varsity, and several men will be graduated into it next season to take the places of the better men who are leaving. That fact speaks well for next year's varsity. Captain ....... Mearl Chapman Manager ...... Thomas Britton Coach ........ Mr. Kern LINEUP Left End ....... McCune Left Tackle .....

We shall always be interested in him and his swimming and shall watch what he does at the University of Pennsylvania. We feel sure the University will have as much cause to feel proud of him as EaSt Tech has, not only for his wonderful swimming ability but also for his personality and high character. TENNIS RALPH A. BALDWIN Tennis does not replenish the treasury of any Athletic Association. Perhaps this fadt accounts for the lack of interest among other schools in tennis as a representative high school sport. This lack of interest made a regular inter-scholastic tournament impossible in the fall of 1913, and the absence of the interscholastic tournament may account for the entrance of so small a percentage of our tennis players in our own school tournament. Those boys who did participate in the school tournament enjoyed the work and gained experience and much skill under the direction of Mr. Bems, who acted as coach. LaSt spring’s tournament gave players the following rating: A. Beckerle; Ivan Wolf; ErneSt Schultz; Edward Rosenberg; Ralph A. Baldwin. Beckerle was champion of the school. We hope next spring will find the boys more enthusiastic, as we are planning dual meets with the other high schools and are looking forward to an interscholastc tournament. GOLF W. PURVIS East Tech enjoys the distinction of having introduced golf among high school sports. LaSt spring, under the guidance of Mr. FroSt, sixteen fellows reported for practice. As no other high school in the city was playing golf no interscholaStic match could be arranged. The boys had to contend themselves with a school match. In this match B. Foster won firSt place. We are looking forward to next spring, hoping the golf spirit will call more enthusiasts out into the field and so force golf into prominence. For exercise and true clean sport, golf will be found to be the game for the healthy sportsman. THE JUNE BUG 115 BASEBALL NINETEEN THIRTEEN RECORD The baseball record of the spring of 1913 was no exception to the rule of Tech’s general athletic excellence, for the team finished the season tied with Commerce for the championship.

HOME ROOM SPORTS FRED GLOSH EaSt Tech has Parted a new idea in sportdom—home room leagues in basketball, track and baseball. These leagues comprise teams from almost every home room. The eligibility rules bar all varsity men and three U. Stars, and require fifteen hours credit in the preceding term. A schedule of games is played, and the various teams are eliminated until the survivor is finally declared the winner. The winner of each sport is given a large pennant, donated by the A. G. Spalding Company. This idea has created a wave of enthusiasm for sports through the school. It brings out fellows who would never think of trying for a school team. It also brings closer association among the players themselves, and this is a great asset for school spirit. The teachers also have become interested, some of them being so enthused, that the camping out spirit prevailed, and after the games “grub” is served. The firSt league Started was in baseball, with Mr. Brechner as the Ban Johnson. This championship was won by Miss Parmenter’s team and a pennant was awarded them. The next in line was basket-ball, with Mr. Kern in charge. This provoked keen rivalry between Mr. FroSt’s and Miss Teagle’s teams, the former winning the pennant. Mr. Kern also took charge of track, and in this sport captain Simmermacher of the “Baron's” room led his team to victory and a pennant. These home room leagues have accomplished their purpose, for they have increased the number of pupils interested in athletics, thus bringing out much new material for the varsity teams; they have aroused home room spirit; have raised the grades of some pupils; and in this way are increasing the EaSt Tech spirit.” THE JUNK BUG 119 GIRLS’ BASKET BALL BASKET BALL for the girls made a great advance this year because of our home room league. Very many more girls than ever before became interested in the game and were given an opportunity to play. Our girls muSt be commended, for the fine spirit they showed in their games. Each team went in to win but, when it was necessary, they proved they could be good losers. Out of sixteen home rooms there were twelve teams. This is a good showing considering that the game was new to moSt of the girls. However, we consider this year’s league juSt a good Start for next year. The three teams winning the privilege of playing in the final series were 410, 302 and 108. Home room 108 won the championship and was awarded a banner by the Athletic Association. After the home room games, class teams were formed from the beSt players developed through the home room league. Four very evenly matched teams then began an exciting series for the inter-class championship. In the finals the Juniors and Sophomores tied so that a deciding game had to be played. The Sophomores won by a score of 7 to 6. To each girl on the winning team the Athletic Association presented numerals. This is the f r€t year that the girls have been recognized in this way by the Athletic Association. This recognition is moSt gratifying to the school as a whole, because thegirls are worthy of it and because they have always done their share in supporting the association. 120 THE JUNE BUG THE JUNE BUG 121 BASKET BALL FRED GLOSH EAST TECH opened its basket ball season on January 9, 1914. On this date Commerce was taken into camp by the close score of 21 to 18. The game found only three veterans on the team, namely: Kohl, Montgomery and Grover. Kohl was chosen captain, and with him as leader the team won the fir three games. Ju£ as the team was running at full clip and as smoothly as possible, graduation” sneaked in and took our two guards, Kohl and Montgomery. Had these two men played thru the season, they would undoubtedy have been chosen as all-scholastic guards, Kohl had been given the honor the preceding year. About this time Mead was declared ineligible for the season. This meant the building up of a new team, so Mr. Bell wasted no time in filling the vacancies. Grover was elected captain. Baldwin and Urbanowitz were placed in the vacant guard positions and Sandrowitz took Meade’s place at forward. Once more the team made its march toward the championship. With that ever-determined spirit characteristic of Tech, they won from East 14 to 13, the game being any one’s until the la second of play. They trounced We 18 to 13, and came up with the surprise of the season by trimming Central 19 to 15. This gave the boys the game with South for the championship. In this game we were defeated 26 to 19. This result lo us the championship, but did not diminish the Tech spirit. We were defeated the following week by Glenville 28 to 14, and wound up the season with another defeat, holding the fa Erie, aggregation to a 38 to 14 score, although earlier in the season they had defeated us at Erie 75 to 18.

More than this, he was a fir class student, was thoroughly dependable in everything he undertook, had high ideals and strong chara er, and was deservedly popularamong his fellows. He received his preliminary training at Doan School, where he showed his ability in running and jumping by winning the broad jump two years in succession. After graduating, he entered this school in September, 1909. The football season was the f r€t to confront Kohl, and he made the team and won his letter at the fir t trial. But one sport was not sufficient for him. In the basketball season he again won his letter. Being especially interested in track, he tried for the team, and here also he won a letter. The third year he was elected track captain and was a member of the football and basketball teams. In his fourth and laSt year he was again chosen to lead the track squad; was chosen all-scholastic guard on our championship basket-ball team; and later was the unanimous choice for football captain. Besides these school laurels, he set two records in the Princeton meet; was the winner of the individual championship in the interscholaStic meet of 1913, and was highly honored by being named school athlete for 1912-T3. However these feats alone are not responsible for his popularity. The fair play, the honorable principles, and the faithfulness shown in his athletic work, were characteristic of all his dealings. He was trustworthy, a good student, and a gentleman. The school congratulates him on the record he has left here, and wishes him greatest success in everything he may attempt in the future. —Fred G. Glosh THE JUNE BUG 123 MR. BELL Behold the man who four years pa t. Has brought us victory, and fame at la£t,— The rock on which our standard lies, The rock on which athletics rise; But, arm’d in courage, it did seem His hopes were always with his team. When hope was sinking in dismay And gloom obscured, that very day His steady mind, from changes free, Resolved on glorious vi 5tory. Firm, united, let us be, Rallying round our vi ory, And as a body let us yell, Good-luck, be£t wishes,—Mr. Bell. —Fred Glosh 1LM THE JUNK ISUG DEBATING EDWARD FERRY On January 23, 1914, Ea£t Tech held its fmft debate of the season, with Commerce as an opponent. The debate was scheduled at the Commerce auditorium and the question discussed was: Resolved, that Congress adopt House Resolution 143. This House resolution provides that the Philippines be given their independence in 1921. Tech chose the negative side of this question, and though Commerce was unanimously awarded the decision, put up a good argument which did not disappoint the large crowd that witnessed the debate. No sooner was the debate with Commerce over than the team was preparing for the debate with Lincoln, which was to be staged in our auditorium. Lincoln chose the negative side of the following question: Resolved, that the Chinese Exclusion Adts be extended so that they will regulate the admittance of the Japanese to this country- This debate took place the twentieth of March, and after a hotly contested argument, Tech was awarded the decision, to the joy of the team and mos't of the onlookers. A good deal of this joy was due to to the fadt that this was the second debate won in the history of the school. The debate was also a fitting reward for the hard work done by Mr. Taylor and a few others of the faculty, in coaching the team. There is no reason why Tech should not have a winning debate team. A little more interest shown in debating will surely raise the Tech debating teams to their rightful place.

Alternate THE JUNE BUG 125 THE NEW ADVISORY BOARD OF UTMOST interest and importance to all Tech students new and old was the recent appointment by the Board of Education of an Advisory Board for the Technical High Schools. The very rapid growth of our school and of WeSt Tech have brought about many new conditions which demand a closer inter-relation of these schools with the industrial life of Cleveland, if they are to render the full service of which they are capable. The problems at present facing us include vocational guidance; employ ment of graduates and pupils; introduction of new courses and extension of old ones; correlation of our courses with those in our higher institutions of learning; the advisability of introducing the Cincinnati idea —half a day in school and half a day in factory; the relief of the present congested conditions in the Technical Schools; the extension of such schools in harmony with the rapid industrial expansion of the city; and many others. In view of these conditions, Mr. Barker and Mr. Short joined in recommending to the Board of Education that a committee representative of the industrial and educational interests of the city be appointed to a 5t as an Advisory Board for the Technical High Schools. The Board aCted favorably on the recommendation, and, early in April, President WeStenhaver appointed the following gentlemen: Walter D. Sayle Herbert W. Strong George P. Comey E. W. Palmer EckStein Case F. Phillip Dorn Frank Shields F. D. Lawrence Charles H. Loew J. E. Cutler Robert W. Ney Arthur Haskin Benj. D. Fuller The Cleveland Punch Shear Co. Strong, Carlisle Hammond Co.
