THE JUNE BUG PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS OF THE EAST TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL IN THE YEAR NINETEEN HUNDRED FIFTEEN LET'S GO AND DO SOME OF THESE THINGS WE CAN'T DO. Chesterton EAST TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL PRINT SHOP CLEVELAND. OHIO PRINTED BY STUDENTS EAST TECHNICAL HIGH SCHOOL PRINTSHOP CLEVELAND To our new Assistant Principal Victor D. Hawkins the man who gets the job for the boy, this book is dedicated—with grateful remembrance of the past, and with hopes for the future—by The Class of 1915.’ —5— 6 THE JUNE BUG YE EDITORS SPEAK FIVE or six years ago some fiend in human form started the fashion of writing June Bug editorials. We wish we had him here. What we'd do to him would be even worse than what we’ve done to some of you. Of course a June Bug wouldn't be a June Bug if he didn't come bumping along with a great buzz and clatter, scaring people and waking them up and making them jump and yell. We’ve tried to do that convincingly. We know we've scared some people pretty badly in advance, and if we don’t wake the rest of you up and make you jump, we’ve underestimated the amount of ginger, red pepper, and dynamite in the following pages-Withal, we have always tried to be accurate. We have told the truth whenever we dared. Of course there are exceptions. If you find any nice, complimentary language spilled about any member of the faculty, you will understand that we’re in his class this term and want to graduate. So far as our fellow students are concerned, why, our Chief Editor is a renowned football player, and—we should worry. Make your kicks to him. It will furnish you with some healthful exercise. If you should really find a mistake in this book, blame it on Mr. Webster and his printer’s devils. We’re not responsible. And now we, as the representatives of the Class of 1915, bid you a fond farewell. We know you’ll make every possible mistake after we've gone, but we’ve done our best in training you, and we can’t help the result. You can’t expect to be bright as we are. Bye —Bye.

Two boys, warmly clad, with ice skates hanging over their shoulders, and each carrying several school books attached to a strap, slowly trudged along the country road, shuffling up the snow with frequent vigorous kicks, as they made their way towards a little red school house, some distance off. Til tell you, Tom,” the oldest boy, who looked to be about fourteen, was saying, “I guess our dads are right. The ice isn’t very solid yet. That is, it’s solid only about a quarter of a mile out. The pond in back of the school yard is the safest place for us to-day. We’ll try the lake tomorrow or the day after. “But Joe,”the youngster retorted querulously, ‘‘What is the use of our sitting around in a hot stuffy school room when we might be skating? Gee whiz! It’s only going to be all review stuff this afternoon. Besides, it’s Friday. By the time Monday comes around, Mr. Farren will have forgotten all about us not having been to school. Come on, Joe,” he begged, ‘‘will you?” ‘What do you mean?” Joe laughed. “I’m not going to skip school! But,” he continued hesitatingly, “if we have time. I’ll go with you and we might just look at the lake!” Sure we have time, Joe!” Tom exclaimed, and evenashespoke he heard the second bell for school ringing in the distance. “We’ve loads of time, and —and Joe, if—if it looks safe—will you try the ice with me?” I guess neither one of us will try the ice there to-day,” Joe exclaimed as they came in full view of the lake. You know,” he warned, “your dad, as well as mine, forbade any skating there to-day. You heard my dad say last night that the ice isn’t safe for many yards out. didn’t you?” Tom did not reply. He stood gazing out over the white glassy lake, a look pf rebellion plainly showing upon his face. Joe, also watching the lake, seated himself on a small iron bench upon the 46 THE JUNE BUG shore; but suddenly he started up in surprise for Tom was slowly taking his skates from off his shoulder. What are you going to do?” Joe asked. “I’m a-going to try the ice,” Tom replied doggedly. No, you’re not going to do anything of the kind,” Joe protested. I tell you the lake is far from safe. Besides, we shall be late to school.” “We’re too late for that already,” was Tom’s answer. “There goes the last bell now.” Joe listened intently. “Ding dong! Ding dong! Ding dong!” The echo sounded through the trees, and died away. “The third bell!” Joe stammered. “Yes, sure,” retorted Tom trying to appear unconcerned. “You can see there’s no use of going now, Joe. We’re too late.” “Why didn’t you tell me it was so late?” Joe asked. “Cause I didn’t want to go to school,” Tom replied shortly. “You might have let me go then,” Joe answered angrily. “Yep! I might of,” replied Tom, “but you see I wanted you to go skating with me.” “Well, I’m not going,” Joe answered sharply. I told you I just wanted to look at the lake.” “Oh! Very well!” replied Tom. “What are you going to do? Go back to school and get a beating for coming late? How good you’re getting lately!” he taunted. “No, I’m not going back to school,” retorted Joe angrily. “Just the same, neither am I going skating!” What’s the matter?” Tom asked suspiciously. If it were any boy but you, Joe, I'd think they were afraid.” Joe did not reply. But he clenched his hands so tightly over the edge of his skate, that the steel came near cutting into them. Tom looked up quickly. “Why Joe,” he exclaimed unbelieving, “You’re not afraid are you?” “Yes, I am,” answered Joe warmly. “I’d be a bigger coward if I said I wasn’t. Don’t go Tom! Please don’t! You know you promised your father, as well as I promised mine, that you wouldn’t skate on the lake for a day or two. Come on! Let your skates alone, and we’ll go for a hike!” “I’m going for a skate first,” Tom replied stubbornly. I’m not afraid! I’m—I’m just surprised to find out that my pal is such a—such a—oh, well, you make me tired!” “I’m sorry, Tom,” Joe said. “I guess it does look kind of low to you— but—but I’ll tell you right now, the only thing that will get me on that lake today will be toto help you if- -anything should happen!” “Now you’re tryingtomake a hero out of yourself,” Tom snorted. “What harm can come of .a little skating around the edge of the lake, I’d like to know! Well, if you won’t come,—so long, I’m off!” “I wouldn’t go if I were you Tom,” Joe cried again. But his warning was not heeded. Joe sat for several moments watching his friend. Tom was skating slowly across the edge of the lake,—but Joe saw that THE JUNE BUG 47 as each second passed Tom’s confidence in himself, and the ice grew greater. I hope nothing happens to him,” Joe muttered. Then, heturned around in surprise, as a boy about his own age, and size,—but oh!—so poorly clad, seated himself on the bench beside him. The newcomer said nothing. He only blew hard on two rough, red hands after which, he slowly lifted one of his feet up, so that he could look at the bottom of his shoe. What Joe saw made him shiver for part of the sole of the newcomer’s shoe was missing. “Oh!” Joe exclaimed pityingly. “Aren’t you cold?” “I’m freezing!” the other answered simply. “Is — is the other shoe the same way?” Joe asked. “Worse than this one,” was the reply. The frosted wind blew the newcomer’s coat open. “My— Oh poor boy!” Joe cried. “Havn't you any shirt on under that thin coat?” I've on all the clothes I have in the world,” replied the boy between purple lips. Joe repressed another shudder. “Why—why say, boy!” cried Joe, “I have heavy underwear, a shirt, a great big red sweater and—and this heavy coat on besides. Say, would you mind if I give you this sweater?” “It would seem like a warm fire to have that on’ stranger,” the poor boy replitd. As Joe removed his sweater and handed it to the newcomer, he asked, “What’s your name?” “It’s Ray,” the boy answered heaving a great sigh of joy as he buttoned the red sweater up over his bare skin. “Well my name’s Joe—Joe Farris. And say, I have an idea! But first, tell me, can you stand on skates?” “Never had a pair on in my life!” Ray answer. “Well,” Joe hesitated. “Listen Ray, you give me your shoes, and I’ll give you mine.” “No, I wouldn’t do that Joe. You’re—you’re too kind to me.” “No I’m not. Wait till I tell you what I’m going to do. I’ll take your shoes and put my skates over them! That will keep my feet from being on the ground and—and your feet will be warmer in my shoes too. Don’t you see?” Yes, if you’re sure you don’t mind.” It will be just the thing,” replied Joe. After they had exchanged shoes Joe suggested making a bonfire. “I’m so warm now,” answered Ray, his deep dark eyes filling with tears of gratitude. If it weren’t for the snow, I’d think it was summer. I'd—I’d think I had a home and a mother an:l a father.” The wistful expression in the newcomer’s eyes made an immediate appeal. Joe extended his hand sympathetically. Then, reaching for a dirty wooden box which lay not far away Joe asked again. “Shall we build a bonfire?” “I haven’t any matches,” Ray replied. “Oh, I have some. Tom and I always carry them in winter; we often make bonfires.” “Who is Tom?” asked Ray as he gathered an armful of twigs. 48 THE JUNE BUG “Why,he’s my pal,”Tom replied as he lit afew twigs and fanned the small light into a warm blaze. “By the way,” he cried, jumping up in excitement, “Where is he?” “Where is who? Tom,—do you mean?” queried Kay. “Was he with you?” “Yes,I had forgotten all about him! There he is now! Look! Just look how far he is out. Tom! Tom!” Joe called. There was no response. The flying figure was dashing farther toward the middle of the lake. “If the ice should break!” Joe shuddered, and the mere thought sent a sudden terror to his heart. “Look Joe!” Ray interrupted. The fire is going down.” Joe turned about, and gathering an armful of frozen papers, lighted a few more matches, and soon had the fire going full force again. “There, that’s fine!” cried Joe admiringly, watching the flames, a self satisfied smile upon his face. But as Ray gave a sudden shriek of terror, he turned about and faced the lake. “Wha—what’s wrong?” Joe faltered. Then, for an instant he did not move, though his heart beat wildly. For, faintly, from over the wide stretch of ice, the cry, “Help! Help!” reached his ears. “The ice has broken! He’s drowning, Ray,” Joe shrieked despairingly. “He’s”—but Ray was already out of hearing. Far in front, as fast as his feet could carry him he was making his way over the ice! After one startled glance, Joe followed. But, as he reached Ray’sside the boy shouted, “Don’t come any farther! Go back! Your skates will cut the ice!” “I don’t care!” Joe cried hastening on. “I don’t—” “Help! Help! Joe, Oh Joe!” came Tom’s cry of anguish. “I must keep on, Ray,” Joe called. “He’s calling for me. I’ve got to help!” “Take off your skates then. See! The ice is breaking under your feet!” Ray’s words were all too true. Joe hurriedly removed his skates. Half of one foot and almost the whole of the other were walking bare upon the ice! Joe did not heed this, however, his only thought was for Tom. “He’s just gone under, Ray shuddered as he and Joe reached the large opening in the ice. “You stand over there further! The ice is too weak here for both of us!” “All right!” Joe replied stooping over just as Tom’s head appeared at the surface. “Here, I’ll pull him out and you grab him. That’s the way-” With all their young strength they pulled and hauled until they had the frozen, dripping form of Tom upon the ice. Then hardly knowing whether their burden was alive or dead they bore him back to shore. When they arrived within several yards of the bonfire, Ray said: “Joe you stay here with Tom, and I’ll run for help. I reckon my shoes are better than yours,” he called back as he made his way, faster and faster, to a big white house just within sight. Ray did not know that the man who met him at the door was Tom’s father; he only knew he wanted help as he cried breathlessly; “Sir, sir—be quick! Boy—Tom, drowned, sir!” “My son! Oh, my son!” the old man guessed correctly as he grabbed Ray by the arm, and hurried to a waiting horse and buggy. THE JUNE BUG 49 Faster than the wind they drove down; but when they reached the shore Joe was in tears. As Tom’s father, bent, and shaken, lifted his son up into his arms, he turned a white face to Joe. Did my boy leave any message before he died, Joe? he asked. Yes sir, he—he did, answered Joe, hardly daring to look up into the drawn face of the elderly man. What was it, my boy? the old man asked eagerly. Why sir, Joe continued, When—when Ray went for help, Tom came to! And he said he was going, to—to die. And,—and sir, he said you should not feel bad about it, because it was what he deserved for disobeying you, and he said that you should get another little boy—one who had no father or mother to—to take his place; and,—and excuse me sir,—but I suggest Ray here! 50 THE JUNE BUG THE MYSTERY OF THE ROOM VIENNETTE YOUNG I had just arrived home after spending a short vacation in the city and would have welcomed the quiet peacefulness of the country had not the old house seemed pervaded by an intense mysterious something, I could not tell what. My little brother and sister gathered about me and told about strange actions on the part of father and mother. Johnny told how mother had refused to let him carry his toys to the cellar, and twelve-year-old Helen declared that mother would not allow her to get a jar of peaches from the cellar, but had to send dad down for them. •There’s something awful down there,” Johnny volunteered. “Honest there is. I heard dad tell mother this morning that—that he was afraid he’d have to bury some of them and then when they saw me they put their hands over their mouths and told me to run along and play.” I asked them how long this had been going on, and Johnny the more talkative of the two answered Six days.” Oh! sister,” cried Johnny, a thought suddenly striking him. You go down and see what’s there!—Please do,” he added, for a look of hesitation crossed my face, but it stayed only a minute for I was in for any kind of an adventure. That evening I went to bed early, fatigued by my long journey. I was too tired to sleep and tossed fretfully in my bed. After making an attempt to sleep I decided I wanted a drink, so I got up and slipped down stairs to the kitchen. I was just about to turn the light on when I heard some one tiptoeing down in the cellar. He was coming up stairs,—yes coming upstairs! My first impulse was to scream but as a second thought I hid behind the door. Slowly he came. I thought he would never get to the top. But yes, here the intruder was. Oh! what a relief it was when I saw it was only dad. I followed him up stairs but at some distance behind. As he entered his room I heard mother whispering to him. I pressed nearer to hear dad’s reply. “Everything’s all right, mother,” he said “but be sure to keep the children away.” I crept back to bed shivering and shaking and wondering what it all meant and soon fell asleep from utter exhaustion. The next day when dad came to dinner 1 heard him make a remark to mother. They’re full of germs, mother,” he whispered. My curiosity was aroused to a very high pitch. Mother.” I exclaimed! Mother what is full of germs?” You wouldn’t understand daughter. Its only a business matter.” Mother’s evasion of the question made me all the more determined to get to the bottom of it all. I had become as curious as Johnny and Helen. I decided to keep my eyes and ears open until this mystery was solved. For two weeks I played detective, but with little sucess, I must confess. There was only one way to find out and that was to go down in the cellar and investigate although dad had repeately told us to remain upstairs. That eve- THE JUNE BUG 51 ning while mother was reading the paper and dad was snoozing in his chair beside the fire I silently left the room and stealthily made my way to the cellar stairs. I lighted the candle I had taken from the kitchen table. The small flame flickered and cast peculiar shadows on the wall. The drip, drip of the water from the leakingfaucet and the creaking of thecellar windows made menervous. But taking a firmer hold on the candlestick I made my way to the rear of the cellar. My next question was, “What room is it in?” Just then I scented a peculiar odor. I stood still a moment in order to tell from which direction the odor came. Right, left, front, back, I sniffed. Surely it was coming from over there at the left; from the little room at the extreme end of the basement. I groped my way toward the door. Softly I turned the knob, but the door was locked. I looked thru the key-hole, and saw nothing but darkness. Disappointed I made my way back to the kitchen, extinguished my candle and went to bed. The next morning brought the last day of the third week of the mystery. It was Easter Sunday. “There are a hundred and thirty living, Mary,” Dad was saying to mother as I entered for breakfast. “I dropped one but I don’t think it will die.” This was the last straw. Father!” I exclaimed, rushing in. “What is in the little room in the cellar?” Father looked at mother and mother looked at him. Neither of them knew what to say. But father stammered something about our finding out in the afternoon. At last the afternoon came. It was a beautiful afternoon for an Easter Sunday. About one o’clock I went to dad and reminded him. He looked very happy and pleased; “All right,” he answered, “get Johnny and Helen and we will all go down and see the cause of this excitement.” Dowrn we went, not slowly and quietly this time, but four steps at a time. We got to the door before dad did and waited breathlessly for it to be opened. Dad put the key into the lock. Click! At last the room of mystery was open. “Cheep! Cheep! Cheep!” Johnny and Helen looked at me and I looked at them. There before us was a shiny red incubator and through its glass sides we saw dozens and dozens of little white balls of fluff. “There were two-hundred and fifty eggs in it,” dad said, but only a hundred and thirty hatched!” 52 THE JUNE BUG A MIDWINTER NIGHT’S DREAM DOROTHY DOUTTIEL Another one of those dreadful essays! And what in the world am I going to write about? I curl myself up in my armchair and chew the end of my pencil and pucker up my forehead into the most unsightly frown. But still no inspiration comes to my weary brains. The clock strikes twelve, it is long past my bedtime. I lean my head on my hands and my eyes will not stay open. Oh, sleep thou art a gentle thing! The next thing I find myself scurrying to and fro, gathering up my books and dashing out of the front door which slams behind me as I run up the street. I am breathless and tired but I don’t seem to be gaining any ground. I see a large electric light approaching but the car glides by me. I groan; I have missed the car and must wait half an hour for another one. But one second after this I find myself at the school building. Everyone is rushing around and the familiar cry of, “Has the passing bell rung yet?” reaches my ears. Unfortunately it has. I snatch off my hat and coat, deposit them (not too carefully) in the locker, and rush for the elevator. When I reach Miss Greer’s room a queer sight meets my astonished gaze. No sign of a human being! The room is deserted save for a very queer spectacle. The kitchen utensils are holding a reception. The flour sifter, the nutmeg grater, the food chopper and the little clock on Miss Greer’s desk are receiving the guests. The blue and white jars in the cupbard come trooping in single file according to their denominations, sugar, flour, raisins, prunes, currants and loaf sugar, the last an empty jar. Then come the spices and the baking powder cans, one without a lid. Next the ovens and the double boilers. The ovens, shiny and black, with red kerchiefs around their heads making them look like the advertisement on “Aunt Jemima’s Pancake Flour.” The flour barrel is next to arrive, a fat jolly man with a red face and a white cap on his head. Then comes Sugar Crock and her sister Salt Crock. Miss Sugar Crock is spilling on the floor which makes a grinding noise when the other guests walk upon it. Her sister Salt Croak tells her to be more polite, but Miss Sugar politely informs her that she has seen some of the girls do that and so it must be all right. The knives, forks and spoons come in hand-in-hand. The wooden spoons look very red and embarrassed so Miss Silver Spoon politely informs the assembly that the classes have been making jelly and that accounts for the blushes of her cousins the wooden spoons. Soon the Dutch Cleanser arrived, with her escort, Mr. Scrubbing Brush. Following them came all the little Vegetable Brushes. Some of the Brush family were missing as some of them had “just happened” to fall out of the window during one of the classes. After the Kitchen family and all their aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters and brothers had arrived the affair took on the appearance of a political meeting. Madam Clock called the meeting to order, whereon they made a great noise finding chairs and getting seated. They must have learned this from the cooking class, too. The meeting was opened by an THE JUNE BUG 53 oration from Mrs. Fork who demonstrated the uses of “bath brick” and “Dutch Cleanser” in the kitchen, closing her speech by saying that some of the girls did not make proper use of it judging from the appearance of Miss Knife’s and Miss Spatula’s gowns. Then Miss Clock presented Miss Baking-powder-can with a new lid. The Baking-powder-can was immediately greeted with the cry of, “Speech!” “Speech!” So she thanked the assembly and the managers of the kitchen utensil brigade for the beautiful new lid and said she would think of them every time she wore it. She sat down amid the applause of the assembly. Soon after this the teakettle entertained the crowd with a vocal solo, much to their delight, as they applauded loud and long. The clock asked them to kindly omit the applause as the program was somewhat lengthy and the periods were short. After this Mr. Brush and Miss Dutch Cleanser demonstrated the latest dance steps on the supply table. Miss Clock said that she did not approve of dancing, but that she had seen some of the girls in the classes do it so of course it was perfectly proper; whereupon the orchestra composed of the teakettle, a sauce pan, a wooden spoon, and a tin plate, struck up a lively tune and the whole crowd joined in the “Maxixe.” They danced for a long time and after this they served refreshments. Very queer refreshments they were, too. Probably they got this novel idea from the seventh and eight period classes. After the refreshments were served Miss Clock got up and announced that it was nearly half-past two. She had no sooner said this than every one rushed to the door. The bell rang and I awoke with a start! The clock had struck one-thirty and I still had that stupid old essay to write! 54 THE JUNE BUG CAPTAIN GRANT WILLIAM LOHREY The large club rooms were crowded with boisterous men who were celebrating the unusual event of having Captain Charles Grant, the great South American explorer among them. The clinking of glasses mingled with the clinking of poker chips and above all was heard the occasional loud laughter of many jolly men. One of my friends. Lieutenant Pierce, who had accompanied Captain Grant on some of his travels, formally introduced me to him. I was much impressed by his commanding personality and by his warm hearty handshake. Although I can baast a little of my strength, I thought he would crush my hand when he gripped it. He was all of six feet three, with shoulders like the forequarters of a draft horse. Altho he was tall and powerful he was not awkward in the least; he was lighter on his feet and more graceful in his movements than the average woman. His finely chiseled features were burned very dark by the tropical sun and his head was covered with fluffy black hair. As he walked away I noticed that the middle finger of his left hand was missing and I remarked to my friend, Lieutenant Pierce, that it was a shame for a man so fine appearing to be without one of his fingers. “He did that himself,” the lieutenant said. “Why in the world did he do that, Pierce?” I asked. He did that to save his life, Lester. But didn’t you ever hear how it was that he lost that finger? I thought every man at the club knew that.” No,” I answered, “I never heard of it, but I’m very curious to know.” “I was with Captain Grant when it happened, Lester, so I can tell you of it first hand. That was two years ago when we were exploring the country at the head of the Mamore river in Bolivia. As you know, the Mamore is a tributary of the Maderia River which flows into the great Amazon. In the party were Capt. Grant and that man sitting over there, Mr. Findley, the one with the scar over his left eye, and I. Besides there was a number of natives who acted as guides and who took care of our baggage. It was not a large or imposing party to be sure, but Capt. Grant would not travel with more as he said, “There is no pleaure in traveling with a regiment; there’s not enough danger in it then to make it interesting.” We had used boats up to the Maderia Falls after which we used pack mules. At this point we frequently had to cut our way thru the thick underbrush and heavy climbers that hung from one tree to another and which were so intermingled that it was impossible to trace one of them. We did not notice much large game but there were snakes a plenty and most of them were of the poisonous variety. “Farther up the Mamore we had to hire more guides as those we had were not acquainted with the region. It was very hard and dangerous work traveling thru this part of the country because of the swamps and the very thick jungles. Two mules lost their lives in the swamps as did a native who tried to save them. The trees were so high and so thick that it was often impossible to see the sky and they were literally alive with insects, and gorgeously colored birds the majority of which were songless. The intense heat and THE JUNE BUG 55 the choking vapor arising from the ground made life almost unbearable and the water we found was warm and brackish and unfit to drink. No, exploring is not as fine a sport as one is inclined to believe it is. That we did not all die of the fever is a miracle. ‘ At one place the underbrush was so thick that it was again necessary for the natives to cut a path so that we could get thru. Large beads of sweat were continually rolling off their swarthy bodies as they worked. We white men were glad to sit on the packs and rest as well as we could while checking as much as possible the unsolicited advances of hundreds of mosquitoes which were much larger than flies. As we watched we saw one native suddenly fall to the ground writhing in great pain. His companions, with eyes bulging from their sockets, stood about him at a safe distance. Before we reached him he lay still and upon examination we found that he was dead. The cause of his death we could not ascertain until we turned him over and found a small snake, not more than eighteen inches long, under him. Captain Grant, who, as you know, is quite a naturalist, said he had never seen one like it before and furthermore that he did not know there was a snake in existence whose bite meant almost instant death. He said he knew of snakes whose bite meant death in a minute or two but none who caused death in a few seconds. Captain Grant was very anxious to capture it and take it back to New York where he expected to find men who could tell him more about it. “We stood at a safe distance for the snake lay coiled up ready to strike, with its fangs darting out with the speed of lightning. I must confess that when I looked at the dead body of the native and then at the snake, any desire I might have had of capturing it vanished. “The captain took a long pole and tied a string withaslip-knot, on the end of it. After a little dexterous work he succeeded in slipping the loop over the head of the snake and in drawing it tight. He told me to hold the pole while he took off the snake. I reminded him of the accident and cautioned him to be careful, but he merely laughed at my fears. “He caught the snake between his fingers, back of its small, narrow, wicked-looking head and removed the noose from its neck. While he was carrying it to his pack where he intended to put it in a box, it gave a sudden, vigorous jerk and slipped from his grasp to the ground. It was rapidly slipping away in the weeds and underbrush and in his eagerness to recapture it, he caught it near the head with the result that it bit him twice on the end of the middle finger of his left hand. With a presence of mind I have never seen equaled, he pulled out his automatic pistol, placed the muzzle below the second joint of his finger and pulled the trigger. The powerful bullet blew off his finger. I quickly tied a tourniquet about his arm so that there would be no danger of poison entering his blood. After I thoroughly washed out the wound and bound it up, he looked up at me and said, “Some close shave, that, wasn't it?” “ Altho he acted as quickly as he did, enough poison had entered his blood to make him very ill for a week but after that he was as well as ever except for his lost finger. It was his quick thinking and quick acting that saved his life.” He certainly has some nerve,” I exclaimed as I walked into the next room where I heard the page calling for me. 56 THE JUNE BUG “CAP’N” FORREST O. RENNISON Outside the snug little cabin of the tug “James Sanders” the sharp March wind whistled as it searched its way along the deserted, treacherous dock. The storm flag over the little signal station perched above the long, low, dingy warehouse that flanked the dock, no longer hung limp and motionless but was stretched out, stiff, taut, straining before the wind. Out beyond the crescent-shaped harbor the roar of the breakers could be heard as they dashed against the shore. “Yes, spoke Captain Sanders, putting his big, hairy hand over his black stubby pipe as he lit it, “this (puff, puff,) air the worst night I’ve, (puff) seen fer a long spell. It were a night like this that the Gloucester Luck went down off coast and Jim an’ I had to swim to shore (puff, puff). I wouldn’t have made it if Jim hadn’t helped me. Jim was mate on the Oswego when she went down. I never heard from him again. We were twins.” Abner Nathan, better known as Yank, shifted a quid of tobacco in his mouth:—“I hear that revenue boat Putnam air out. She better be gettin’ back before it gets—” An ebony head topped by a ragged felt hat was thrust into the cabin. Cap’n Sanders, you am wanted on de fone up at de station.” “All right, Alex,” replied the captain as he reluctantly set his pipe on a shelf. “Keep up the fire an’ don’t let thet steam git too low.” He pulled on his great big coat and hat and jumping to the dock, forced his way through the storm and up the shaky ladder to the signal room. The single man there looked up and pointed towards a wall telephone. “Hello!—Yes it’s Cap'n Sanders.—No I can’t do it.—What's that?—Why didn’t you say so first ?” He hung up the receiver and, leaving the office, started for the tug at a trot, the storm behind him. “You Yank, come here. Alex, git Bert an’ the rest of 'em here as quick as the Lord'll let ye!” “Now,” spoke the captain when the men had gathered around him, “the Putnam air outside the harbor with her engines broke and she’s being driven onto the Big Reef. The Rocky Point life crew helped the men off but in the hustle they left behind a sick fellow they picked up from some wreck and a man that was tendin’ to him. She's so close to the reef now that the crew can’t reach her. Will you go out with me and try to get them? It is pretty rough outside.” “Well, “Cap’n,’’ spoke Yank, a twinkle creeping into his eyes, I guess you won’t find us far behind.” “All right, then,” said the captain with a sort of pride in his voice, “Bert, cast off the lines. Yank will take the wheel.” He dived into the cabin and reappeared wearing his black, glistening oil and southwester. The squat, little tug was headed for the open water beyond the harbor where the waves piled high and the water was dotted with ever shifting white caps. “There she is, off Rocky Point,” shouted Yank, pointing towards a long something that was bobbing up and down, now in the trough between two THE JUNE BUG 57 waves; now rising to the crest as a bigger wave swept by. Slowly the tug curved in an arc towards the Putnam, her decks continually drenched with spray as the big waves crashed against her. In the bow stood the captain, peering through the storm towards the Putnam on whose deck could now be seen a man, evidently the sailor left behind with the sick man. The captain saw him run across the heaving deck and catch up a coil of rope. The tug could not get closer since a bigger wave might lift it up and smash it against the other boat. The sailor swung the rope, lariat fashion, above his head and holding one end, let the other fly out toward the tug. Out and out it went, but fell far short of the tug. Again it was coiled and flung and again it failed to reach. It aint no use a tryin’ that way,” yelled Yank, through the storm, what are you a going to do?” The captain stood silent a moment, his sandy, bushy hair blowing back against his tanned, weather roughened face. Then he spoke abruptly. “Git that light line in the chest.” He jerked off his coat and southwester, kicked off his boots and put them in the cabin, and then went back to the bow of the tug and gazed intently at the Putnam. It was bring driven, slowly but surely, towards the half submerged reef over which the waves swirled as they rolled form-flecked toward the shore. “Jumping mackerel!” Yank dropped his rope and stared open-mouthed at the captain standing barefoot and coatless in the storm. “What are you— you’re not going to try to swim it. are you?” If Jim were here, he would, Yank. So I will.” “But you can’t”— “Give me that rope, Yank.” Quickly he tied one end of therope about him and gave the other to Yank. “You haul in when I raise my arm and you might haul in quick. I guess that’s all.” He stopped and then as a crest of a wave struck the tug, leaped and was carried along by it until it passed him, burying him, beneath its green mountain of water and leaving him to struggle on as best he could until another wave caught him and carried him. The man on the Putnam saw the swimmer and flung his rope but it fell a full tug’s length from the captain. Again it was hauled in and cast, this time it cut the water before the captain’s face. He grabbed it holding it between his teeth, tried to keep above the water with one hand while he untied the rope end about him with the other. His hands were numb and he could work only slowly. Finally, it unfastened and he tied it to the rope end from the Putnam. He then threw up his arm and as he felt the answering tug on the rope a wave caught him and carried him down beneath it. Wouldn’t it ever stop? He must hold on to the rope or it never would. He wished that ringing in his ears would stop. He felt the strain on his arms slacken and knew he was rising to the surface. Dully, he felt bitter cold of the wind and the rise of the water. He was near the tug where Yank and the other men were desperately hurling in the rope, straining and bending with it. The captain still held the rope which was drawing him through the waves to the tug and as a wave carried him by, Yank caught him and lifted him to the deck. He tried to stand but tottered. “Tow ’em to - the harbor—Yank, and—” His voice trailed off and he staggered back in Yank’s arms. He was put in the cabin and a cable drawn from the Putnam to the tug and she started full speed ahead, almost pulling the Putnam off the reef. Through the open window of a tiny, white room in the little shore hospital the cool, salty sea breeze was blowing. In a bed beside the window lay the captain, with half-closed eyes, the tan gone from his face. Bending over and gently shaking him was a pale, sunken-cheeked man. “Don’t you know me, Jamie man?” he asked the captain. “It’s Jim. Yes, Jim. It was me that the Futnam picked up from the wreck.” 58 THE JUNE BUG THE FOUNDRY CRANE Walter Summerhill ’15 A Crane for the Foundry is being designed in the Drawing Room. The name given the device is a “Jib Crane. which can be raised and lowered on an I beam by means of an endless chain, bevel gears and an elevating screw. This crane, when constructed, must be capable of lifting a one ton weight and of transferring it from one place to another. To make this possible was the problem which necessitated much figuring for stresses and strains. Another problem was to arrange the crane so that it would pass beneath the platform on the east and north sides of the foundry and would rise to such height that a barrel of sand could be raised over the railing at the back door and placed on one of the platforms. SHEET METAL WORK John Allen T7 A new department, that of Sheet Metal Work, has been started at East Tech this term. This work has not been taught before in Cleveland schools. The purpose of this department is to give the boys a good idea of the work done in Sheet Metal Shops and to teach them the principles of the trade. Sheet Metal Work consists in making pipes, cornices, skylights, window frames, machine guards, pans and anything, in fact, that is manufactured from sheet metal. Galvanized iron and tin are the metals commonly used. The work this term began with the making of bird houses in which some very good designs were carried out. In making these houses the boys were taught how to lay out and cut metal, the fitting of two or more pieces together, and riveting. These houses were bought by the city for its parks. After these were finished an oil tank was made for the machine shop, as shown in the following cut. In doing this work the boys were taught how to THE JUNE BUG 59 MAKING AN OIL TANK OF SHEET METAL make cylindrical tanks, and pitched lids. A suction pipe was made for the millroom to carry the sawdust away. Its construction teaches the makingof elbow joints and pipes. Besides these larger pieces of work, some of the boys have made lamps of different designs, also tin cups and other tin receptacles. The boys now taking the work find it very interesting, and it is hoped a number will specialize in it. THE ELECTRIC STOVE Ray Hamilton ’15 The electric stove is one of the most useful and convenient electrical appliances made in the Electrical Construction Department. It can be used for frying or boiling and can be converted into a toaster by the use of a false top made of wire netting. A student who wishes to make a stove must be an all around mechanic because he must make his own machine and electrical work. After such a stove is designed in the Drawing Room, and its patterns and castings made in the Pattern and Foundry Shop, the machining and assembling done in the Machine Shop the electrical work is completed in the Electrical Construction Department. The heating element is nichrome ribbon, a special resistance material. Thirteen feet of this ribbon, .007 in. x iV in., is wound on a piece of mica in shape of a horseshoe so that the heat will be distributed over the stove equally. 60 THE JUNE BUG MAKING AN ELECTRIC STOVE The top plate is insulated by putting on alternate layers of mica and water glass. After letting this dry it gets very hard and has high insulating properties. A large piece of mica and then a piece of asbestos is put over the heating element so that it will not short circuit on the bottom plate. Mica is wrapped around the plugs which connect the element with the outside line so that they will not be short circuited by the top of the stove. To test for a ground a test lamp is put in series with one side of the line and connected to the frame of the stove while the other side of the line is connected to one of the plugs. If the lamp lights, the element is grounded and if the lamp does not light, the stove is all right. The energy used by this stove is about 650 watts. The current is turned on but two or three minutes when it is ready for use. The heating element of the stove has a working temperature of about 800 degrees. The cost of electricity is about seven cents a kilowatt hour so that to boil a pint of water would cost about four-tenths of a cent. AGRICULTURE Samuel Deise T6 The course in agriculture at East Technical High School was started at the beginning of the fall term of 1914. The class at the time of its organization was very much in need of equipment and lacked suitable ground space on which to carry on its work, which made the subject less attractive to many of the students than it might otherwise have been. This disadvantage was THE JUNE BUG 61 TRIMMING AND SPRAYING ORCHARD overcome by assisting Miss Miller, Supervisor of School Gardens, and by experimental work on an orchard located at Corlett Station. Thecourse consists of one year of botany. This is followed with a specializing course for those who have had some agricultural experience as well as for those who want to make agriculture a business. The class has had a wide experience in field trips on which they visited flower and vegetable greenhouses, nurseries, poultry shows, dairy and poultry farms, orchards, propagating beds, and experimental stations. The trips were so planned that before a class visited one of the above mentioned places a thorough discussion of the subject was made in class. This enabled the students to get the theoretical as well as the practical side of the question. It is this combination that makes the best farmer of to-day. At the various school gardens under Miss Miller’s supervision the class has become familiar with tree and shrub as well as seed and bulb planting. The class laboratory work has consisted of some phases of landscape gardening, especially those dealing with the planting of shrubbery, the making of lawns and the care and placing of all kinds of perennials, biennials,and annuals. Much work has been accomplished in fruit culture. The class has made weekly trips of three or four hours duration to the experimental orchard operated by them at Corlett Station. The orchard was neglected and uncared-for from fifteen to twenty years. It is nOw in first class condition. Here the pupils have been taught the art of pruning and trimming trees together with special work in tree surgery. Well balanced and symmetrical trees have been obtained through proper pruning. Spraying experiments have been carried on for insects and diseases with exceptionally good results. Experiments are 62 THE JUNE HUG now being carried on in cover crops, sod and straw mulching of all the trees. Analysis of the soil has enabled the class to apply the elements needed and great improvement can already be noticed. The greenhouse, which is now under construction, will enable us to start plants and seeds early in the season together with a large amount of propagating and plant forcing. The greenhouse is to be divided into sections each of which will be used for one specific process, such as forcing of cuttings, forcing of plants, cross pollinization, and grafting. The playground in the rear of the school will be used hereafter for vegetable gardening. The entire lot will be divided into ten or more plots which will be planted with vegetables. Some of the products grown will be distributed among the class and marketed at wholesale prices, while others will be used in the school lunch room. Daily laboratories are also carried on in corn judging, seed testing, mixing of spray materials, poultry and stock judging, and feeding of all kinds of live stock. The course is already not far behind some of the older courses and it will not be surprising in a short time to see it running a close race with the most popular courses of this school. THE JUNE BUG 63 PRINT SHOP WHERE THE ANNUAL IS PRINTED THE SCHOOL PRINT SHOP Sam. J. Ruddock ’15 When our Print Shop was first opened for practical instruction, there was but one boy who elected printing. This year, including day and night school, no less than seventy-five were enrolled. New equipment including type, stands, cutter, press, and binder, have added to the efficiency of this department. Last year the Annual was printed in the school print shop for the first time, the work being so successfully done that the present edition of the “June Bug” will be gotten out by the boys of this shop. In addition to the Annual this department prints the monthly magazine, The Scarab, besides all blank forms, programs and other aids to the working activities of the school. Here the principles of spelling, capitalization, punctuation, division of words, indentation, paragraphing, and use of initial letters are put into practical use. The correct color combinations of inks, kinds of type for special jobs, the use of borders and ornaments are taught. Printing is the initial step to almost all forms of education and no factor touches the life of the school, the home, shop, or society at large more directly than printing. This valuable and interesting branch of vocational study is a great aid to those entering upon any branch of training. 64 THE JUNE BUG MAKING PATTERN FOR TWELVE INCH BAND SAW PATTERNS 12 INCH BAND-SAW RALPH MUELLER Among the recent constructions in the Pattern Shop were the patterns for our new 12 inch Band-Saw. The Band-Saw consists of about twenty separate patterns, both large and small. Among them are the body or frame on which the other patterns are based, the two wheels on which the saw runs, the table, and bearings. The 12 inch Band-Saw is just about one third the size of the ordinary saws used in the shops, but all castings must be as accurately machined as the larger saws. The saw was designed especially for use in advanced Cabinet Making, where it is to be used for cutting veneers, marquetry, and fine work. When the patterns were finished they were taken to the Foundry where they were molded and then poured. The castings were then taken to the Machine Shop to be finished and assembled. 24 INCH BAND-SAW Ross Barger T5 In order to fill the demand for Band-Saws in our Wood Shops the advanced machine drawing class designed a saw of the 24 inch type. The patterns THE JUNE BUG 65 EAST TECH BOY WORKING ON 24 INCH BAND-SAW were worked out by the advanced pattern boys and the castings were poured in our foundry. Because of the limited facilities for handling large castings in our machine shops the boys had some interesting problems to solve. The main casting of this saw weighs about four hundred pounds, and stands almost five feet high. When the casting was set up on the planer it overhung on one side about three feet from the table and in order to prevent this weight from lifting the table from its “ways” a counterbalance was hung on the opposite side. A block and tackle had to be used to lift the casting from the floor when it was set up on the shaper. In order to hold up the overhanging weight of the band-saw casting when it was on the milling machine, a double-fall block and tackle with five strands was fastened to the overhanging end of the casting. By putting a sixty pound counterbalance on the hand rope, this overhanging weight was held up and the strain was taken off the milling machine. The greatest trouble came in drilling and tapping the numerous holes in the casting. The position of these holes was such that they could not be drilled on the drill-press but a portable drill, in some cases an electric, but in many others a hand drill, had to be used. 66 THE JUNE BUG SEEDS AS A SOURCE OF DESIGN Ellen McPherson’15 Seeds grow. This little statement will perhaps call to your mind’s eye many beautiful plants in field or garden, but have you ever pictured their growth in the field of design? Here they grow almost as mystically and often more fantastically and orderly than in nature, for their source of being rests in human imagination and invention. Into this kind of growth the students in Mr. Kennedy’s design work have started seeds of the bean, sunflower, acorn and other plant forms. Almost all seeds have pattern in some form, if not in color spots, in ridges on thesur-faceorin cross section. This pattern in relation to the general contour of the seed makes valuable material for design. Many seeds do not have pattern, but have angular or irregular places making good design material in that they have variety in contour lines and light and shade. Not only seeds but also seed receptacles play an important part as a source of design. Some examples of these are the seed heads of the morning glory, jimson weed and grasses. Preparations are made by first making a drawing of the seed in pencil representing the pattern and the light and shade that produces the volume. After this, representation is made in water color in the same manner, so that a scheme in color tones is also established. In pure design, throughout composition and conventionalization, the principles of order and beauty are followed. Conventionalization is not a distorting of natural forms but is the result of careful discrimination in what is really good and the rearrangement of it according to principles of design. The tones, measures, and shapes that compose design are important factors in its development and may be termed as spots which are curved or angular, long or short, large or small and in color, dark or light. These factors are all considered for the sake of rythm, balance, harmony, and adaptation. Now begins the further development and growth in design form by the picking out of the most interesting spots in this sketch of the seed and mak- THE JUNE BUG ing a unit conforming with design principles. Here beauty and grace of line, mass, and proportions must take the place of the transient lights, shades and colors of nature. Another step is made in adapting these units from the seed to a space, or in making a pattern or rhythmic border. In these problems the color schemes used are those native to theseeds from which the designs have grown. The students find the necessity of planning design in accordance with certain measurements, materials or processes of manufacture. In planning a design within an area all lines are made to conform to the inclosing shape thus creating unity and a related movement throughout. The spots composing the design are made to balance at the center of the design area. In a surface pattern there is a balance in each individual unit that, when combined, gives stability. A surface pattern is the result of an orderly arrangement of units involving a geometric plan or underlay which outlines the system of repetition. The pattern may be planned fora vertical or horizontal surface by using bilateral or regular units. A border design involves the principles of design: rythm, balance, harmony, adaptation, and also alternation and subordination. These designs and color schemes from the seeds are made use of in interior decoration where the scheme of curtains, draperies, upholstery, rug and wall surfaces are designed and carried out consistently. 68 THE JUNE BUG HOME DESIGNED AND BUILT BY EAST TECH BOY THE BUILDING OF MY HOME A. E. Finke T5 My knowledge of architectural drawing gained at East Technical has already been put into practice. I have worked as a carpenter for two consecutive summers, returning to school each fall to go on with my work. At the end of my sophomore year we decided to build a new home. After we had found a site my father placed the proposition of plans before me. With a rough sketch of what the new place was to be like, I set to work and made the plans. As soon as I had finished the blue prints of them, I obtained a permit and the excavator started his work. While the digging was going on, my brother and I constructed a shed to house the tools and other necessary implements. My father wanted to oversee the job to save money, but he was holding a position he could not leave and so he was obliged to send his assistant foreman to help in the work. With his help the entire construction of the house was carried on with an occasional survey on Sundays by my father. We are now living comfortably in our new home. In January, 1914, the St. John’s Lutheran Church, corner East 55th Street and Magnet Avenue, decided to build a parsonage in the vacant lot next to the church. The subject was discussed and a committee was appointed of which my father was the chairman. Thru him I received the job of making the plans. THE JUNE BUG 69 I first made plans for a frame house with brick veneer on the first story and shingles on the second. These plans were discussed and then rejected because the place was to be built within the fire line. I then made plans for a brick house and turned them over to the congregation to examine in their semi-annual meeting. By this time, the school vacation came and I went to work as a carpenter under my father’s supervision. At length, the congregation decided to build the house and actual construction was begun in September. Three months’ leave of absence was granted my father from his regular work in order to build the parsonage. I worked with him after school and on Saturdays. On December 12, the parsonage was finished and was dedicated on the following day. Since then, I have completed plans for a neighbor’s four family block which is now under construction. PARSONAGE PLANNED BY EAST TECH BOY 70 THE JUNE BUG EAST TECH HIGH BOY WORKING IN FOUNDRY THE FOUNDRY Mearl Chapman ’15 The small 12 inch band-saw frame was completed by boys specializing in Pattern Making. When it was taken to the foundry for a reproduction in cast iron the molding was performed by the same boys who worked on the pattern. A mold is a sand impression formed by the pattern of an object to be cast in metal. The mold is made and the cupola is prepared for the melting of the iron. When the iron is melted and the cupola is ready to tap, the ladles are placed under the spout to receive the molten iron. The ladles of iron are carried to the mold and poured into it. As the metal leaves the ladles to enter the mold it must be skimmed so as to prevent any impurities from entering the mold. The above picture shows one of the boys removing thecasting from the sand to examine it after it has cooled. THE JUNE BUG 71 A DINING TABLE Humbert Iacobucci T5 In the third and fourth year of their technical course students who so desire in advance cabinet making are allowed to specialize. Then many complicated pieces of furniture are made, one of which may be a dining room table. In the construction of all pieces of furniture a detail drawing, usually full size, is made of the article. Such a drawing is made by the student for his table. The drawing representing his plan in size and design being completed, he is ready to begin the construction of the parts which make up the base. The pedestal, the four comer posts and the claw feet are made ready for gluing. Each part should be marked so that it may be put into position quickly. If the table is to be an extension one the top must be divided into two equal parts, cut to radius as indicated in the drawing. The rim is constructed by gluing together, in three layers, strips of wood 1 inch x 1 inches x 12 inches. It is then smoothed, tooth-planed and veneered The runners are next made and screwed on to the board parallel to each other. The top of the table is now ready to be screwed to the runners. Great care should be taken to have each half of the top slide easily. When we are sure that it will not be necessary to do any more cutting we can sand paper to finish the wood. All the parts should be thoroughly sandpapered, for the finishing will largely depend upon this. When the surface of the wood is in proper condition it is ready for the stain and varnish. 72 THE JUNE BUG MAKING METAL TRAYS ART METAL TRAY F. C. Badke T6 In making a metal tray brass or copper may be chosen. After deciding upon the metal to be used the design giving the tray its form is the next thing to be considered. When this design is laid off on the metal and the shape desired cut out a border is put around the tray. It is now time to prepare for raising the inside, but before this can be done the metal must be cleaned, or the dirt will be pounded into it. This raising is done by a ball pean hammer. The curve made by raising the metal is planished in order that it may be smooth and the part that is raised is planished also. At the same time planishing hardens the metal giving it more transverse durability. This is done with a hammer that has the edge slightly rounded off. Care must be taken to hit the metal with an even stroke so that it will not buckle up. The edge is then filed and a ridge is raised, in the same way as was the middle, outside and inside of the border and around the handle holes. At this stage the finish is ready to be put on. The metal is cleaned thoroughly and a mixture of antimony trichloride and water is smeared over the metal. After this has dried it is polished off with a wire brush. This polishes the high places and leaves the low places, darkened by the acid, dull, thus giving an appearance of old brass or copper. The tray is lacquered to keep the finish permanent and is then ready for use. THE JUNE BUG 73 MAKING BIRD HOUSES OUR BIRD HOUSES Raymond Zmudzinski T6 The above bird houses were made by the boys who are specializing in Cabinet Making. They divide the work among themselves, one taking his place at the bench laying out the work, while another is at the band-saw. Others are planing, or nailing and some staining. In this way they can build several bird houses a day. The boys receive thirty-five cents for every bird house they make, and as they pay twenty cents for the material used in building one, they make ten cents upon their labor. After building a desired number of them, the boys divide the money equally among themselves. The city is buying these bird houses because it wants to place a great number of them in every park in the city, hoping that the birds coming from the south, such as the wren, bluebird, chickadee and others, will build their nests near us, so that we may enjoy them and their songs. A club has been formed in East Tech for the purpose of studying birds and learning how to attract them. 74 THE JUNE BUG GIRL CONSTRUCTING BIRDHOUSE MAKING FRIENDS WITH OUR BIRDS Lillian HodgsonT8 The girls of East Technical who are interested in birds have joined the Audubon Society. For the small sum of ten cents one may become a member and receive a button and pamphlets which contain the descriptions and pictures of ten different birds. The aim of the society is to protect the birds and so increase their number. The first thing the girls do for the birds is to build a bird house which will protect them from cold and storm. To build this simple bird house requires a single board 4 ft. 7 in. x 4 V ft. x ft in. That any of you can construct it may be easily seen by means of the simple drawing shown in this article. The board is cut into six pieces. The front piece which is 7h in. long; two side pieces which are 8 in. long on one side and 11 in. long on the other; a back piece 15 in. long; a roof 8 in. long; the bottom or floor 3 long. A hole is bored in the front in. in diameter thru which the bird may enter the house. Four H in. holes are made in the bottom for ventilation and two 1 in. holes in the back for nailing the house in place on tree or a post. The front is nailed to the two sides, allowing the front to lap over the side pieces, taking care that the edges are even at the bottom. By doing this they allow in. at the THE JUNE BUG 75 top for ventilation. Next the back is nailed to the sides and the bottom fastened in place by two nails. These nails serve as hinges. Another nail is driven in the front to hold the bottom in place, but can easily be taken out so as to clean the house. The roof is then put in place and the bird house nailed to a post or tree inviting some cold and weary bird to make it his snug home. The girls expect to do more for the birds than build houses for them. They are learning something about the different birds in connection with their course in freshman science, and will attract them to their yards by food and water. They have resolved not to decorate their hats for the Easter parade with these little creatures. By these means the girls hope to increase the number of beautiful songbirds that make their homes in the little houses in the tree tops and cheer us by their songs. Join the Audubon Society! 4 0 - - Wren iot se Temp et -----is — £ PLAN FOR BUILDING BIRD HOUSE 76 THE JUNE BUG SPRING MILLINERY NINETEEN-FIFTEEN Louise Smith T6 Some satirist has spoken of spring as the time of hats and flowers and this becomes a reality up in room 306, where twenty-five girls spend their afternoons in the trade class. The hats are unusually attractive this season and even the faculty have been unable to resist their charms. Why, just the other day Mile. Collington and Mile. Cambellsupe were overheard in the hall discussing their new spring bonnets (if they’re not careful the flats will discover that they are only human after all.) Said Mile. Collington, My rose and gray hat is a perfect success; I don’t think Miss Ager’s color scheme could be improved upon. Mile. Cambellsupe became eloquent in praise of the workmanship, Yes, I’ve noticed it and I’ve decided to put my order in for a neat black and white one”—She had not finished when Mile. Wardart joined them and the eavesdropper nearly gave herself away, her delight was so keen when even the art teacher added her praise. You look ten years younger in that rose hat of yours, Mile. Collington. It brings out the delicate coloring in your skin to perfection, and that high bank of foliage with the few small roses in it gives it just the desired dignity.” Mile. Cambellsupe’s eyes just danced when she asked Mile. Wardart if she had put in her order yet. Now, that is just the question we’re all asking. If the faculty will wear East Tech hats, why not the students? You may design your own hats, choose them from Bon Ton” and Vogue” and have a regular Parisian chapeau with a Tech label in it for a tiny fraction of what the original would cost. Then you can choose your own maker from any one of the twenty-five girls to be sure of a personal interest. Why not try it? Mile. Troblacha will gladly decide what is best suited to your peculiar style of beauty and you will be surprised at the effect it will have upon your friends and also upon the growth of the trade millinery class. Loyalty to your school is preached by the football coach and in fact by all leaders of school activities so why not in millinery. THE JUNE BUG 77 FINISHING DRESS IN TRADE SEWING CLASS TRADE SEWING Dorothy Smit 15 Of course 312 is not the rest room. The girl who does not care to work chooses the wrong room if she enters 312. Trade Sewing is for Junior and Senior girls who wish to specialize in sewing after having had two years preparatory work. The Freshmen and Sophomore girls who take it are those girls who do not intend to graduate. The reason the class is called a Trade Sewing Class is because the girls sew for other people. Not until a girl is capable of doing her own work neatly can she take up order work. The teachers patronize the class and keep them quite busy. By sewing for different people, the girls make a little “pin money” for themselves. Patterns are not always followed. If a girl wishes to use a fashion plate from one of the Elite, Vogue or Royal fashion books, Miss Beaton, the teacher, cuts a pattern and fits the skirt and waist to look just like the picture. What do the girls make? Everything from underwear to wedding dresses . But to be more specific they make all sorts of underwear; silk, net, lace, chiffon, crepe de chine and cotton waistes; winter and summer dresses; coats; Easter suits; emblems for the Athletic Association; graduation dresses; bathrobes; and gowns for the ceremony of the Scarab. 78 THE JUNE BUG HOUSEHOLD HUSBANDRY Ruth B. McDowell ’16 A delightful new feature has been introduced into the serving classes of East Technical High School. Invitations have been issued to the senior young men of the school, inviting them to the luncheons prepared by the girls of the serving classes. As the senior class of boys is quite a large one, it has been decided best to invite only the young men on the honor roll. Heretofore it has been customary for four girls to take the part of host, hostess, lady and gentleman guest. The boys are recieved in the living room of the apartment where they are introduced to the presiding hostess, and lady guest. They are then ushered into the dining room where a very enjoyable luncheon awaits them. This new plan which has proved a most successful one, has splendid advantages. Not only does it teach the proper way in which a luncheon should be served, but also how to carry on an interesting conversation. Many an otherwise enjoyable luncheon has been marred either by lack of conversation or by topics leading into unpleasant channels. Often times much embarrassment is caused by asking a young man to be a host, who knows nothing about carving or any of the other particulars required of a host. When one is embarrassed he cannot fill his requirements either as guest or host. This new plan gives not only valuable experience, but what is more important, teaches how to feel at perfect ease. Each girl of the serving class has put her utmost effort in making each luncheon a success. Everything is done to make the luncheons attractive, flowers, hand painted place cards and delicious though simple food, properly served. THE JUNE BUG 79 GIRLS' STUNT PARTY LENORA E. LITSCHERT A girls’ party was held Saturday afternoon, March twentieth, nineteen-fifteen. Heretofore, the girls’ party usually consisted of a dance. At the last one about one hundred and fifty were present. Those who were there had a splendid time, the only draw back was that so few came. These parties are given for the purpose of getting each girl acquainted with her classmates. Hoping that more girls would attend it was thought a good idea to have a party begin with an entertainment, having dancing afterwards. This plan was carried out and proved a success. About three hundred and fifty in all were present, the largest number that ever attended a girls’ party. Many girls not interested in dancing attended and all enjoyed a good time. The entertainment was furnished by the girls themselves. The following program was given: 1 Selection...................................Orchestra 2 His First Recital .....................Gladys Troescher 3 Bliss and Brown’s Endless Song...................... 4 Dance a la Castle.. .Josephine Barker and Marie Schweitzer 5 A Real Duet on a Real Piano......................... 6 Just Stunts.............Comedians Edwards and Slimm INTERMISSION 7 Shadow Play.......................Ballad of Mary Jane 8 Topsy Turvy Song ................................... 9 The Railroad Crossing...................Loneta Hinder 10 Dancing..................................Ruth Cadisch 11 Song ............................Mysterious Quartette 12 Home Sweet Home.............................Orchestra Pop corn balls and taffy were passed during the entertainment. Just think of it, girls, an entertainment, dancing and refreshments, all for five cents. 80 THE JUNE BUG ADVICE IN THE STUDY HALL IVY M. DEIBEL Hush-a-by Freshie, don’t babble so loud. You’ve finished your studies but don’t be so proud, For Taylor is looking and listening my lad, And once let him catch you—you’re ever in bad. Hush-a-by Freshie, don’t speak to your neighbor. She’s pretty, you bet,—but pray don’t delay her; For she’ll be a Senior, while you’re still a flat If you keep on talking, and waste time like that. Hush-a-by Freshie, cheer up and be happy; Better days are a-coming for you little chappy; Even now, as you laugh here, in One Hundred-Seven, You’re dangerously near to the bright gates of heaven.

The work of a Palladia is divided into three parts. She serves her sister members in the society, in her literary work and in her social relations. She serves her class thru the Introduction Senior Day party, programs for girls, and the Spring Auditorium Program, and she serves her school thru the Annual Alumni Reunion that is given under the auspices of this society every year on December thirty first. The literary work of the club thisyear included astudy in ballads in the fall term and in the second semester a study of fiction and of topics of general interest from the current magazines. The social activity this year began with a “stunt” party in the third floor hall, and a “Senior get acquainted day” that has now been written in the history of notable successes. But getting out and selling a school calendar to raise money forthe alumni party proved to be the crowning gift of this year’s club to the school. By the fund from the saleof this calendar the Palladium was able to put through the best reunion in the history of the school, if one may judge from the spirit shown that evening and from the compliments showered on the committee afterward. Every Senior girl who has kept hername on the honor roll for three years is sure of being Palladium rank and every member joins in the hope that each year will see a larger number of girls joining this rank and adding their names to the long roll of the oldest society at East Technical High School.

MEMBERS OF SOCRATIAN SOCIETY —86— THE JUNE BUG 87 SOCRATIAN DEBATING SOCIETY During the year of 1914-15 the Socratian Society has lived up to its reputation of being the best debating society in East Technical High School. In the first debate of the year, the Tech-Glenville debate, Hubert Drechsler, Charles Gibson and Waldo Emerson upheld the honor of the club, while in the second and last debate, that with East, Gibson, Emerson and Street were the members of the Socratian, who made the team. The many closely contests, debates and mock trials, which featured the various meetings of the society, greatly helped to develop and bring to light much of the skill shown by these worthy debaters. In fact, the mock trial wherein George L. Appel, Jr., sued Ross Barger for divorce, uncovered the great lying ability of more than one would-be attorney. Not only has the society been active in literary work, but it has also made its mark in social ranks. None who attended will soon forget the dance and the senior party given by the Socratian. Thus combining work with pleasure, the Socratian Society successfully passed thru the busy year of nineteen fifteen. OFFICERS SPRING SEMESTER ...

The study of taxation, with especial emphasis on single tax, was made the chief object of interest during the term. Accordingly, each week some member spoke on some one phase of taxation. During the course of the term the society was fortunate enough to procure Mr. John Z. White, of the Henry George Foundation, to speak at one of the meetings. Both the Palladium and Socratian societies were invited. Although taxation was the chief study, the programs were varied by readings, talks on current events, mock trials, prepared and extemporaneous debates. The second term the society was deprived of the help and advice of Mr. Blaisdell, but Messrs. Schaefer, Heinmueller and Collins ably filled the position of faculty members. The special work for the second term has been debating. A prepared debate was held the last week of each month, and an extemporaneous debate every other week. Some very spirited work has been done, and some promising debaters uncovered. Last year the Scarabaean was proud to have two members on the debating team, and this year’s membership determined to merit an even larger representation. Although our work has had first place, the society has not been behind in social activities. Last term’s social committee arranged for a much enjoyed Wiener Roast out at Mr. BlaisdelPs farm. This term a very successful dance was held at the Olive Academy. Everything considered, the club has progressed far out of the baby class, and is proving a great success.

THE SCHOOL CONGRESS FLORA BIRRING The School Congress, among other things, decided to request each pupil thru the home room organization, to collect a voluntary contribution of five cents to make up a fund to secure paid talent for auditorium exercises. Authority was given to purchase a new player piano, so a fine new Cable-Nelson player piano was bought and paid for out of the school fund. A request for two large mirrors for the girls’ dressing room and two small ones for the boys’ dressing room was made and the mirrors are now in place. The Congress was asked its preference in regard to the time for commencing school in the morning and eight o’clock was chosen. Many other minor matters and requests were taken up and discussed.

But such is hardly the case. We are building, and building big,” for the future. Inter-class and inter-section contests have been numerous, and every one of these has been well attended, which would indicate that debating interest is climbing. These contests have also demonstrated that there is plenty of good material in the school. Interest, first; material, second. What more could be asked? So we are forgetting the present year and looking forward to next year, expecting to do big things because we believe Tech will recognize debating as a desirable and necessary interscholastic activity.

These clubs were to be based upon the interests of the students. Miss McKitrick asked for a meeting of delegates, two from each girl’s home room, to discuss the subject. Several meetings of these delegates took place, and about the first week of April, organizations began to materialize, each supervised by some member of the faculty. The “Hiker's” Club, under the management of Miss Shanks is particularly interested in the study of birds. Its officers are; Miriam Garber, president, and Ruth Heasley, treasurer. The “Hiker’s” Club under the supervision of Miss Matchett is interested in the study of nature, their aim being to have a good time and at the same time to learn something worth knowing. The officers are; Mildred King, president, Grace Swegler, vice president, Ruth McDowell, secretary and treasurer. The purpose of the “Hiker’s” Club, of which Miss Wolf has charge, is to promote a better appreciation of out-of-door life and to acquaint its members with some of the beauty spots near our own city. Ray Shrimer is the president, Virginia U. Moore the vice-president of this club. The Welfare Club under supervision of Miss Maloney will try to improve conditions generally in the school. For example, they hope to improve the appearance of building inside and out. They will also help keep the corridors quiet during lunch periods, so that classes reciting will not be disturbed. The officers are; Delores Jones, president; Ruth Heasley, vice-president; Virginia Moore, secretary and treasurer. The members of the Embroidery Club with Miss Jones’ assistance intend to perfect themselves in embroidery. Esther Schurdell is president, and Marion Smith is secretary of this club. The Tennis Club is not yet organized. Misses Mitchell and Chapman are going to teach the girls of this club to play tennis. They will use the Y. W. C. A. courts. The Dancing Club of which Miss Converse has charge is not yet organ ized. The purpose of the club is to have a few of the girls who know how to dance, teach the girls who have no other opportunity to learn. A Reading Club under the supervision of Miss Morgan is going to be organized to helpthegirls find booksto read and toteach them how to read them. A Crochet Club will be organized under the care of Miss Holden. The purpose of the club being to teach the girls to be handy with the crochet hook. Every other Wednesday an Art Jaunt Club, chaperoned by Miss Penfield, visits exhibits or art stores. They study pictures and other works of art. A club for literary work of various kinds, guided by Miss Hyde and Miss Blake, has organized under the name of “Kelmscott.” Theofficers are Gertrude Cundall, president, Florence Benjamin and Gladys Hoover, secretary and treasurer, respectively, and Florence Polack, chairman of the social committee. THE JUNE BUG 101 ATHLETICS INTEREST IN TENNIS Ralph Baldwin 17 Tennis is not given the support of the student body like football or basketball. We have to get along with the courts that are in parks and private clubs. To these circumstances, I suppose, we may contribute the lack of interest in the promotion of an interscholastic tournament. It was impossible for the schools of the city to get together for a tournament last year. Last year found all members of the 1913 team in school. In addition Mooney, a freshman, came out and showed up fine form and was given a place on the team. Freshman, get busy, this is a sport in which you can represent the school. We are this year planning to have several out of town matches. But in order that we may find out those who are to represent us we must get going at the first possible chance. Since, for the first time in our school history, a girl has been elected to manage the tennis team, we must give her our loyal support. This is also a chance for the girls to show what they can do. Those voted letters last year were;—Beckerle, Wolf, Schulz, Mooney, and Mgr. Baldwin. Next year all but Mooney will have graduated, so it is up to the freshmen and sophomores to get busy. All those named above started playing tennis when they were freshman and in fact they all made the team in that year. EAST TECH HIGH FOOTBALL TEAM -102- THE JUNE BUG 103 FOOTBALL DON PIERCE East Tech opened her 1914 football by an overwhelming victory over Ravenna High School, at Ravenna. It was a walk away for the Tech boys, the score being 106 to 0. The first senate game was with Central High. It was a hard fought game all the way through, giving a good demonstration of East Tech Spirit. The boys showed their worth in the pinches. Catalano was Central’s big asset. The Tech boys seemed unable to stop him. The game was marked by many fumbles which partly accounted for Tech’s losing. The game ended with a score of 16—0 with Central on the long end. The following week Tech played East High at Shaw Field. The game was fast and furious all the way through, the Tech boys again exhibiting their unfailing spirit by their stonewall defense whenever East was within striking distance of their goal. The game resulted in a 0—0 tie. This was a great surprise to everybody and as good as a victory for East Tech. The next game, played on West Tech field was a still greater surprise. The boys were confident of winning the Lincoln game, but they were defeated, 13—0. The game was played on a heavy field and Lincoln showed ability at forward passing. This accounted for one of their touchdowns. The other was made when one of their men intercepted a forward pass and ran fifty yards for a touchdown. On October twenty-fourth, we played Glenville, the scoreless wonders. Having started them on a pointless game crusade two years ago by a score of 20—0, it would hardly be fair for us to end it, so we went out to Shaw Field confident of winning and defeated Glenville to the tune of 7—0. It was a hard clean game featured by much forward passing. Shaw High was our next opponent. By using the forward pass to good advantage, Shaw scored one touchdown in the second quarter, and T ech repeated it in the third quarter. Pike’s excellent forward passing proved a consistent ground gainer. The game resulted in a 6 to 6 tie. Everybody seemed to know that West was going to beat us, before the game but Tech has always been good at upsettingthe“dope,”soconsequently we came home with West High’s “goat. It was a fine game, Tech playing them off their feet in the first half and thereby cinching the game. Henry injured his ankle in an attempt atone of his famous line plunges. Hill took his place and with Baldwin made many good gains. The score was 9to0 inour favor and a great deal of it was due to Pike’s skillful handling of the team. It was East Tech’s privilege to win one championship this year. That was the Technical Championship. This game they won by the largest score of the season, 19 to 0. It was a fast, clean game, marked throughout by keen rivalry and true sportsmanship. Baldwin and Henry were sure ground gainers and made some long runs. This was the final game of the season. Pi 104 THE JUNE BUG EAST TECH BASKETBALL TEAM Kimpel, Manager Mr. Gibson, Coach Mr. Frost, Faculty M’gr. Sandrowitz Badke Kohrman Baldwin Britton Kohn Golden THE JUNE BUG 105 BASKET BALL MERRELL YERIAN It was the same old story when our boys opened their season by meeting the Lincoln quintet January 9, 1915, on our floor. Tech was always in the lead and the Lincolnites went home dragging the short end a of 14 to 26 score. Out of the remaining nine games we won three and lost six. The number of games lost was probably due to the inexperience of the team, as only one veteran, Kohn, was left after February graduation. As is always the case, just as our team was beginning to run in fine order along came graduation and nabbed our best vets, Baldwin, left guard, and Sandrowitz, right forward. Their places were very ably filled by Badke and Golden from the second team. Britton played a very commendable game at center. Kohrman.our running guard, was not only a mountain on defense but also a bear on offence. Following up the new name, “The Wreckers,” earned in football season, we wrecked the dope of a few critics, and won from Oberlin, South and Glenville, all of which were touted to beat us. The second team was going along smoothly on the road to championship when the team was broken up, some going to the varsity and others being inelligible. To our new coach, Mr. Gibson, and next year’s captain we offer our best wishes for success. The band merits commendation on their spirit and co-operation. The team lined up as follows: Baldwin (C) R.

EAST TECH HIGH SWIMMING TEAM -106- THE JUNE BUG 107 THE SWIMMING TEAM ROY MILLER The swimming team, under the excellent coaching of Badke, has again started out on the road to fame. On Monday, February 22, a meet was held for the East Side High Schools at the East End Y. M. C. A. When the spray had cleared away, East Tech was in the lead, having twenty-three points. East, the nearest competitor, having twenty. The other schools were left far in the rear. In this meet three records were broken. Badke of East Tech made the 60 yard swim in 35:3 and the 100 yard in 1:06:03, while Pratt of East, made 47 feet 8 inches in the plunge for distance. All of us miss the invincible Fergus. While he was here, he developed the team we now have. Badke who is not only the best swimmer in School, but also in the city, is a second Fergus. The greatest surprise at the meet for East Tech was, that Howe, practically a new and inexperienced man on the Tech team, won second in the 20 yard swim and third in the 60 yard. Budwig, a new man for the diving berth, pulled down first place in the diving contest. He makes hard, and nearly impossible dives his speciality. The plunging, which was our weak point last year, has been revived by Simon, who made 43 feet, six inches, in the meet, landing second place. He is a consistent plugger and in the end won. The back-stroke, a new spectacle substituted for the irksome 200 yard race, made its debut and Williamson pulled down third place. 108 THE JUNE BUG THE SECOND TEAM HOWARD ELDREDGE The second team of a school does not receive the credit it deserves. It is not looked up to as anything of receiving honor, although it plays almost as important a part as the first team, or so called “Varsity.” The second team practices for exercise and the good there is in it; also togive the varsity practice. Vet the varsity gets all of the honor, of which some is due to the second team. The second team is not recognized, but yet the varsity profit by it. In order to be a member of the second team one has to practice every day of the football season. At the beginning of the season, all interested in football make an appearance. At the end of the second week half of the squad have left the field. The boys dress after school and go to a field a few miles distant from the school. The boys practise every afternoon for two hours. After they have indulged in practise for two steady weeks preparing and perfecting a few signals and play, they are scheduled to meet the varsity. The second team men being shorter in size, less in weight, less trained and less experienced are lined up against the varsity for the first play. The second team boy shivering, or with a feeling that he was larger and better trained than his opponent starts the game. The whistle is blown and the big fellow comes around his end with the ball, and thereare three or four in front of him smashing, smashing everybody in the way. He is one of the varsity’s first victims. He is laughed at by the onlookers.” He is laid up for a while, with a broken collar-bone, for instance. He is not looked upon as a factor of worthy mention. Suppose it be a varsity man with the same case, he is honored by the students. Weeks after weeks go on the same. The boys are, after two hours practice and an hour of scrimmage let go for the day. THE JUNE BUG 109 FRESHMAN FOOTBALL TEAM HOME ROOM BASKETBALL Perhaps no other home room activities in the school’s history created as much exitement as the Home Room Basketball League of the past two years. Besides producing suitable varsity material this league tended to develop good sportsmanlike feeling among the fellows. Home Room 113, commonly known as Frost Champs, were the champions of this league for two years, not having lost a game and scoring 192 points to their opponents 46. It would be unjust not to express our thanks to the membersofthe faculty who kindly offered their services in officiating at the games, making up the schedule or merely chasing the crowd of students up on the track. The 113 team was composed of the following fellows: Kimpel, If; Franck, rf; Britton, c; Badke, lg; Schuenaman, rg; Higley, g; Wilford, g; Baldwin, f. —George Franck HOME ROOM LEAGUE Our Home Room sports this year were a great success. Last year’s champions were out to continue in their good work and all the other teams were bound to beat them or die trying. No year has the enthusiasm been so great and the rivalry more keen. 110 THE JUNE BUG HOME ROOM BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS Art Schueneman Frank Badke Mr. Frost Elmer Wilfred Roy Kimpel Thomas Britton Ralph Baldwin Ernest Higley George Frank. Captain THE JUNE BUG 111 HOME ROOM TRACK Ed. F. Blazewski On your marks! Get set!! Bang!!! They’re off! The race for the home room track championship of East Tech is on. Hot competiton is given by the teams on all sides, but Home Room 215 proved to have the best team and weathered thru it all, winning the envious title, “Home Room Track Champions. The winning team consisted of Ed. Blazewski (Capt.), Dud Bennett, Joe Anderson, Al. Petit and Clarence Jacobs. Good hard practice and teamwork resulted in the piling up of 249.95 points and the championship. Home Room 213, last year’s champions, were second with 244.6 points, Home Room 413, third with 237 points and Home Room 209 fourth with 231.1 points. Bennett and Blazewski were the highest individual point makers of the meet. Bennett gathered 76.75 points and Blaxewski 72.4 points. This “Championship” banner, the first proud boast of Home Room 215, will be placed beside a picture of the victorious team and will serve as an incentive for future teams. HOME ROOM BASEBALL CARL EGER After a hard fought final with 408, Home Room 209 won the Home Room baseball championship of 1914. The good pitching of Samuel Cline, the hard hitting of Aaron Albert, together with the fielding and team work of the boys, were some of the interesting features in the games. SKATING DON PIERCE The Interscholastic skating races were held Saturday, February twenty-seventh, at the Elysium. East High School won the meet by the score 32 to 21 over East Tech. By so doing East will receive the Guardian Trophy permanently, having won three successive times. Tech girls made abetter showing this year, but it was not good enough. The East girls practically won the meet, so Tech girls take notice and be out next year to win. Eleanor Newsmith, a freshman girl, surprised everybody by winning the girlsevent for that class in an easy fashion. Marie Engeln finished an easy second. In the junior girls event, Helen Kimpel finished second and Edna Richards third. James Scholl, winner of the senior boys race, skated the best race of the day. After being handicapped by a fall, he won the race by at least fifty yards. Walter Hathaway finished second in this race. RESULTS Freshman Girls;—Eleanor Newsmith (1), Marie Engeln (2). Junior Girls;—Helen Kimpel (1), Edna Richards (3). Senior Boys;—James School (1), Walter Hathaway (2). THE JUNE BUG 113 GIRLS' ATHLETICS The girls are not far behind the boys in enthusiasm and interest in home room sports. As soon as school opens in the fall, the basketball fever strikes the girls. Every girls’ room this year had a team, so that the competition was very keen. Home room 7won the championship with 207a close second, so close, in fact, that up to the very last minute of the last game the result was doubtful. Room 7 defeated 207 by a score 6 to 4. A great deal of credit is due room 7 because their team has worked up from a very weak team to the championship. The home room basketball series was followed by an inter-class series. The Sophomores cinched this series by defeating the Juniors in an exciting game where the spectacular goal shooting of Agnes Mathias sent the Juniors to second place. There is plenty of material among the girls for the finest kind of hockey and tennis teams, but no park or open space is near enough to be available. The girls are trying this year to set records in an indoor meet and some very good marks have already been made in practise. 114 THE JUNE BUG TRACK RECORD 1914 LELAND B.

Gibson, our new coach, better know as “Gibbie,” come to us with an excellent athletic record, having played half-back on the Mt. Union team, and forward on the Mt. Union basketball team. It takes a real coach to round a crowd of inexperienced men into form for a varsity team as Mr. Gibson did in both football and basketball. When we felt we were up against it, Gibbie” was an ever flowing source of inspiration. Here’s nine rahs for Gibson and our best wishes for his success in future years. —Merrell Yerian THEJUiNE BUG 117 INTERSCHOLASTIC MEET R. W. J.

If the sight is to be retained many cases of partial and total blindness might have been prevented by the timely aid. The eyes need care, and if more attention were paid to them, defective eyes would become a less serious matter. For your own sake do not be careless and do not take chances with your sight. Pay us a visit and be carefully tested so that you may know if glasses would improve your sight. Prevention is better and easier than cure. We test your eyes by the best methods. L. B.
