The Editors of this Annual believe it is a good plan to follow in the footsteps of our predecessors—when they’re not too large. That accounts for this editorial. Speaking of the things that Tech has accomplished this year, the one that comes first and the one that every loyal Tech student is proud of, is our championship football team. Another thing to be proud of is the fact that we are at the present time the largest high school in Ohio. If the attendance keeps increasing, Mr. B. will have to put balconies in the classrooms the same as they’ve been doing in the shops. We might have a little more room if the Art-room were moved to the roof; then Mr. Kennedy could use the surroundings as material for free-hand sketching. One thing the school lacks is a few traffic-police for the halls, who would send all offenders to the Foundry. Come all ye freshies—we’ll make room for you somehow. When one Senior leaves we get ten more Freshmen. So far as the Annual Board is concerned, we won’t say anything about what we have done. We are too modest. Anyway, what’s the use? We have a good start and you’ll have to go some to catch us. —The Editors 10 THE JUNE BUG THE JUNE BUG 11 James F. Barker 2284 East 80th Street Victor D. Hawkins 109 Burton Avenue Harrison A.

CUNDALL 1916 Isn’t that dress Mrs. Blank had made in the trade dressmaking class perfectly stunning? No doubt you have heard a similar remark. If you could have a vision of the trade dressmaking class of East Technical High School you might see a busy class of Juniors and Seniors industriously engaged in making anything from a white embroidered petticoat to a delicate, filmy graduation dress or evening gown. The class has increased so rapidly in the past year that it became necessary to procure the sendees of another teacher. Miss Taft. As soon as a girl has advanced to the point where she makes her own garments satisfactorily, she is eligible to take orders for garments, preferably for the teachers in the building. In the making of an order dress the girls use as much skill and speed as possible. The trade dressmaking class has been in existence not quite a year and a half and have made a net profit of $323.50 besides doing all their own sewing and some sewing for their home folks. There is a position always open for the girl finishing this course satisfactorily. Our teacher, Miss Beaton with the aid of Mr. Hawkins has placed quite a number of girls in fashionable dressmaking establishments where they are receiving good wages. Every girl upon finishing the course, should be able to construct and finish a dress and to know when a garment is right as to style, texture and fitting, and to know how to make the garment right when not satisfactory to customer or individual. Every woman likes her clothes a little different from others so the pupils are taught to use their own ideas as far as possible. They are also taught the importance of selecting practical as well as artistic materials and designs and also, the difference between style and fad. Another thing to consider in the designing of a dress is the figure of the person. Styles in clothes should always be adapted to the wearer and not the wearer to the styles. THE JUNE BUG 61 THE TRADE MILLINERY COURSE FLORA C. A. FATHAUER 1916 Millinery is one of the first courses included in the curriculum of a school. One reason for the choice of millinery as a trade to be taught in school is that at its best, hat trimming demands a marked degree of artistic ability a sense of line and form, and an appreciation of color, and the skilled designers in the high grade shops may properly be classed with professional workers. Those who have not theability to create and design, but are able to copy accurately, often command high salaries, and even the assistant workers, who are supervised by the trimmers, must possess a certain amount of skill. Millinery is an occupation which is not localized in any one community. The milliner is needed in the small village as well as in the large cities, altho the conditions of work must, of course, differ in different communities. One thing has to happen before we have that good, old fashioned millinery season we hear so much about, that seaaon when business is exceptionally good and profits big, and that is, there must be more trimming on millinery. The year 1908 was one of the most prosperous years the trade has known, notwithstanding the fact that a general panic prevailed and the money interests of the country were most conservative. This prosperity was due to the fact that 1908 was a trimmed hat year.” Gradually from that time on trimming disappeared; if this situation continues, the millinery trade will degenerate into a ready-to-wear hat trade, and the thousands of workers who depend upon the trimming branch of millinery trade for their support, will be obliged to seek new fields for their endeavors. Obviously, then a return to a season of trimmed millinery is what will bring prosperity back into all branches of the millinery trade, for approximately 13,000 women are employed in the various processes of trimming hats in retail and wholesale shops. A determination to find relief from the exteme severity of the no-trimming styles has resulted in crown tops covered with flowers, and ribbon of tulle loops, or else wings and other fancy feathers, standing up inordinately high. The fashion of trimming high has certainly done much to bring toques and narrow brimmed hats into favor for smart wear by accentuating their importance. Artistically considered the hat or bonnet fashion, adopted as the general vogue, have nearly always a reason for being; they are not selected at random as the wandering caprice of an aimless designer. Lace hats must not be worn with tailored costumes, nor the severer styles with fussy frocks of embroidered net. Two principles underlie the whole problem of correct dressing; first, the necessity of adhering to the period, and second, the style balance of the silhouette. In millinery, good taste and becomingness must never be outraged. It requires great skill in selection to decide what shall, or shall not be worn with certain types of costume, but the period rule is the best guide. Proportion in outline, or a pleasing symmetry of contour is known to us as the silhouette,” which changes slightly with every changing season. Closely furled or sheath skirts are balanced by hats that are little more than crowns. Certainly not by widely brimmed hats, for these would give the woman the 62 THE JUNE BUG A CLASS IN TRADE MILLINERY AT WORK appearance of a mushroom. The outlook of millinery this season is a direct evolution of the costume tendencies. Flaring skirts and the normal or high waist-line has led to the necessity for high hat trimmings; consequently, the brim hat is rather in eclipse. When the spring fairly opens, however, at the beautiful Easter tide, and when little taffeta frocks are in evidence, the hat with a brim will be seen. THE DOMESTIC ART COURSE ANGELA CANNAVINA 1916 “Margaret, are you ready to go to the party?” asked Mabel over the phone. “I’m not going,” answered Margaret. “Last night you told me that you were going.” “Oh I told you that because I expected mother to finish sewing on my new dress today but she was sick, and I won’t go to the party if I can’t wear the new dress. If I could only sew I could have finished sewing it myself and now I’d be going to the party.” So says many a girl before she comes to Tech. The girl starts at Tech with no knowledge of sewing. The first things she makes are two crash towels, cooking apron, holder, silk bag, and bloomers. Each one of these things involves a certain principle. The crash towels involve that of hemming, the cooking apron that of gathering, the making of button holes and french seams, and the sewing on of buttons. The design on the holder shows one’s ability to sew straight, the silk bag involves the principle of sewing on silk and the blooomers that of the placket. All these things prepare one to sew on greater things, such as dresses and suits. If the girl has accomplished these things she is then ready for her second term’s work. THE JUNE BUG 63 During her second term she makes a slip, night dress and a cotton dress. The first dress must be of some cotton material and its cost when finished must not exceed $1.50. This dress takes up the principle of fitting sleeves, shirt and waist parts together. Each girl has another girl for a fitter. The teacher in charge looks it over to see if the dress has been fitted properly, making changes here and there. The girl stitches up her dress exactly as it was fitted. When the dress is completed it is the pride of the freshman girl. When all the girls in the class have finished their dresses they set aside a day when they wear them and many are the questions that they ask each other pertaining to the trials and tribulations of dressmaking. The second year the East Tech girl makes a thin dress, suit, woolen dress and a party dress. Many a mother is glad to come to East Tech’s annual exhibit in June and see her daughter’s self-made dress or suit. The third year she takes millinery. After her year of millinery she takes sewing again for her fourth year. This year she makes her graduation slip, party dress, class day and graduation dresses. The graduation slip has to be embroidered, the design being made by the girl in the art class. When the time comes for making the class day and graduation dresses, the sweet girl graduate is all excited as to how she can get the best and prettiest material and not to exceed the limited cost of $7.50 for the class day dress and ten dollars for the graduation dress. She looks in all magazines and style books to get ideas as to how she could make these wonderful dresses. Finally she make up her mind and gets to work and finishes them on time! Parents are delighted to have their daughters make their own clothes, and the girls—well they are proud to be able to do it and take great pleasure in looking neat and trim at a minimum cost. 64 THE JUNE BUG TRADE COOKING ESTHER DISCHER 1916 A terrible clattering of dishes resounded from Room 301 about seven o’clock on Thursday night. Whatever could be going on in Miss Campbell’s room at that unearthly hour? Surely the trade girls were not working overtime; if so, why? I will tell you, little reader, what all this meant. The trade girls had a banquet, a splendid and succesful banquet, consisting of the following delicious and tasty menu; Fruit Cocktail Cream Corn Soup—Pop Corn Stuffed Baked Potatoes—Candied Sweet Potatoes Chicken Fricassee—Cranberry Frappe Parker House Rolls—Butter Balls Butterfly Salad—Wafers Strawberry Shortcake Coffee Relish—Candies This was a regular banquet with end men (only Edna Shinners and Esther Discher acted as “Toast Mistresses”), as no men were present. Many appropriate toasts were given, but they were taken in the best of humor by all. Our guests at the banquet were Miss Hyde and Miss Blake. Miss Campbell acted as hostess. The decorations were carried out in a color scheme of red and white. Carnations were used as favors. No doubt, one would get an impression from this, that the trade girls spend all their time planning good times for themselves. However, this is not so. The trade girls work very hard planning good times for others. “What is a party without good things to eat?” you ask. Why, all the up-to-date THE JUNE BUG 65 home rooms are always giving parties, either Christmas, George Washington. Saint Valentine, or some other kind of a good party. At this time the trade girls prepare lovely refreshments, such as sandwiches, cakes, cookies, cocoa, fruit-punch and similar things. These things are very delightful to the hungry guests. Not only do the trade girls help in home room parties, but also in school dances, luncheons, club gatherings, spreads and banquets. At all these social functions, the trade girls are kept busy thinking and planning different things to serve. Besides these things mentioned above, the trade girls take orders from outsiders, members of the faculty and scholars. These orders consist of bread (fancy and plain), doughnuts, cookies, cake,pie, sandwiches, Marguerites and the well known cinnamon balls, which though hard are a very good substitute for after dinner mints, as one might judge from the enlargement of the scholars’ mouths at lunch period. From these numerous articles quite a sum of money is made, with which the grocery bill is paid and from the profits the girls are paid. Several of the girls go outside to work, also. At the present time the girls are working at the “College Club.” Girls that are fond of children spend their spare time relieving the children’s parents of their trials for a few hours. We girls are being taught to be more and more independent and not to rely too much on others. This is very beneficial to us, because we are gradually nearing the time when most of us will be thrown on our own resources and will have to support ourselves. What, then, can a girl do who hasnocon-fidence in herself? I am sure she can not easily fall into a position, like we who are slightly independent. Of course we cannot beentirely independent, but a little independence is always desirable. 66 THE JUNE BUG EAST TECH COOKING ROSE RIGNALL 1917 You may have heard mothers say, “Well I think it’s perfectly lovely for girls to learn to sew and make their own hats at school, but I really think a girl can learn all she needs to know about cooking right at home.” Many mothers change their minds after their daughters have spent a few months at East Tech. For when a girl really becomes interested she wants to try to make the different things she has made in school when she goes home. After the mother sees the many different ways her daughter has learned to prepare and serve foods, she soon realizes that she is wrong, and there are many things her daughter could not have learned at home. Later daughter learns to prepare and serve a whole meal. She also learns to prepare food for very sick people as well as convalescents. Then last but not least she learns to figure the amount of calories her dad and other members of the family should have at each meal. Then at the end of four years, you may hear those same mothers say, that the cooking course is very helpful, and one every girl should take. A SWEATER’S ADVENTURES EDNA FAY 1917 I had been useful to my mistress, at many a football and basketball game when one day to my grief, I heard that I was to be “washed” in the laundry class. What that word “washed”meant, I did not know, but it certainly didn’t sound pleasant. The fatal “blue Monday” soon arrived. I was first shaken thoroughly. This hurt my pride, but I was told that it was to remove the loose dirt. When a great cloud of dust rose around me, I, too, came to the conclusion that I was somewhat soiled. The next moment I was suddenly plunged into water, but luckily for me it was neither cold nor hot, so that I really did not feel uncomfortable. I had heard it rumored that a “soap solution” had been added, but I did not have much time to wonder over this, for I was soon being abused most cruelly. Being squeezed and plunged between two hands, was most disagreeable to me. I was relieved for the moment by being gently taken out of the water, but was immediately put into another bath precisely like the one from which I had just emerged. I was again maltreated by those tormenting hands; then removed and put into water which was this time, clear, but of the same temperature. I did not remain in this long before I was put into another bath of clear water. I was now pronounced “rinsed.” After this ordeal I had a surprising blue bath, to make me whiter. My next sensation was one of being greatly flattened; I was nearly smothered but recovered, feeling much drier. The last torture I went thru was one of shaping. I was put on the floor in a cool room, and pushed and stuffed to my original measurements. Left to my own devices, I finally became dry. Then I was removed from my padded bed, and raised for inspection. If I looked as good as I felt, I must have been very handsome. The water had been so mild that none of the little animals which make up my body were shrunken or shortened. The girl who held me up looked pleased, so I must have been very white, and soft to her touch. “I shall sew the emblem on this afternoon,” she cried, “and won't I look fine in this sweater at next Saturday’s game?” THE JUNE BUG 67 A TRIP THROUGH EAST TECH ROBERT J. BLOSS 1916 The first impression of a freshman, entering the halls of East Tech, must be somewhat similar to that of a high school man entering college, save that the latter is one stage advanced in the life of a student. A veritable host of possibilities presents itself with opportunities for cabinet making, turning, pattern making, machine shop, etc., all of which open visions of future accomplishments. The bewildered freshman scarcely knows just where to begin, especially if he has made a survey of all the rooms and discovered the equipment therein contained. Fortunately for him, no choice is permitted, for, just as he is determining to begin with the machine shop, a more competent mind intervenes, directing him to hurry along to the main floor and get into the beginning cabinet shop and get an assignment to a bench. From this time on, continued progress with gradual improvements will eventually bring the student up to his first determination to enter the machine shop. However, he will then find himself far more capable than would have been possible at first. The bench assigned to him has two planes, a marking gauge, ruler, and a square, besides a drawer which he takes from a rack along the wall. This contains three chisels and two plane irons for the jack plane and the smoothing 68 THE JUNE BUG plane. The first piece assigned by the instructor is called the lap joint which requires the various tools for fashioning it. Being his first piece of work it looks very crude upon completion. The next thing made is the cutting board which makes the student more efficient in plaining. The towel roller which he makes next involves the mortise and tennon joint, the most common of all joints. Besides the above practical exercises, mechanical drawing is taken right along with the shops and in order to make anything after the towel roller, the student is required to have a drawing of his own design before he can start to work. The first piece he designs is the book rack, afterwards the tabour-ette and footstool. In order to get thru with shop, the student must also pass in his drawing, otherwise he is made to start over again. By the time he has advanced to the latter part of the first year he is ready to make more elaborate pieces, such as the umbrella stand, library table, etc. Turning is also taken in the first year. Part of the instruction isgiven on the lathe and the balance of the time bench work is taken. When a freshman is ready to assume the responsibilities of asophomore he is supposed to have a complete knowledge of the subjects he has been thru and if called upon to design or make any article suggested by the instructor. Upon entering the pattern shop there is nothing new to use but there are numerous other things to be learned. The piece he works with is not of the type that is made in the cabinet shop but the pieces are small and more difficult to handle because a pattern is the molding in wood, metal or other material of objects to be cast in metal. A pattern is a model of an object to be cast, and so arranged that it can be withdrawn from the sand leaving therein an impression called a mold. Some of the pieces that the boys make in this shop are the paper file base, foundation washer, bearings and pipe support. Connected with the pattern shop is the foundry, which department alternates throughout the entire term, where the student is allowed to mold his own piece of work. The last part of the second year is the most interesting to the student as he has altogether different surroundings. The anvil and forge, with various tools makes him feel as big as the man whom he used to watch at the blacksmith shop. The first thing he is taught is how to make a fire. Oh, what a fire! The smoke comes out in clouds and he wonders how he is going to stop it, but after a while it becomes more easy. The forge is a fireplace for heating iron and steel and other materials. The most important part of the the forge are the tuyeres, the blast pipe and blast lever. He first lets in the air and gives the fire a draft, the second sucks in the smoke and keeps the shop free from it; the third is the lever for regulating the different heats. The anvil is another important tool which is required in smithing. Other tools are the tongs, hammer, hardie, and the center punch. With these, many pieces are made including the ring, meat and gate hooks, staples, chain and hooks and various other articles which are useful. After the second year is completed, the last thing required of the student is the machine shop. It is an interesting place because the pupil has to THE JUNE BUG 69 use all the knowledge of the two years of his various other shop practices. The first thing in this branch of the work which the students are given is a lecture concerning the different kinds of machines and how to use them. Many small articles are made at first so as to get the general idea of the machine shop practice. At the end of this course, the student has two courses before him, from which to choose. One is the college course, preparing him for a higher Technical education, and the other is the trade course, which is taken by those who expect to follow that line of work. In either case, the choice leads beyond the middle of the junior year and farther than the requirements of this article. THE SWING SAW GLENN PETERSON 1917 The swing saw or cut off saw as it is sometimes called, is used for cutting up lumber in mills and factories where it has to be done quickly. The swing saw is hung from the ceiling and is fastened to the shaft so it can be swung towards the work instead of pushing the work to the saw. The saw was designed by the trade boys in the mechanical drawing department and was sent to the pattern shop to be made. The trade students in the pattern shop made the pattern, it was then sent to the foundry to be cast and from there to the machine shop to be machined up. The pattern was started by laying out the job, next the stock was gotten out and glued up to the required dimensions. The pattern was then cut out and the shaping was begun. The core boxes were being made in the meanwhile. They were made in sections, as it would have been difficult and impractical to have made them in one piece. The pattern measures nine feet and eleven inches over all. The saw will be used in the mill room of East Technical High School. 70 THE JUNE BUG SPECIAL CABINET-MAKING GEORGE STERKEL 1916 Dr. James P. Haucy, director of art in the high schools of New York, says; “There is nothing which so connects a man’s name with fame as furniture.” There was once a great man who lived on the banks of the river Thames. He made designs, he cast types and he printed one of the most beautiful books that ever left the printing press. Today few read his book, but he is known as the designer of the well-known Morris chair. If therefore one wants to become famous let him do as Adam did or Chippendale, or as Adam’s modern followers here in our own school. Now, HAND CARVED BUFFET MADE BY WILLIAM DEISHER make SO me fine furniture and people will come to know you, and your name and fame will be passed on to future generations. This is an incentive that inspires the boys in room 219 where special cabinet making is taught by Mr.Wydman. Here furniture of all kinds and for all uses, from the rear porch to the parlor is made; all depends on the skill and taste of the student, as some pieces are simple and plain in design, others elaborate with carving or inlaid with border or lines from various colored woods, so as to make a pleasing and decorative effect. But before the student of this important art can start to build a piece of furniture, he has to make a drawing in full size, and the picture he had in his mind must now be transfered to the paper with all considerations that is necessary for good design; first, good construction and proportions with harmonious lines and decorations, depending on the period or time in which it is being made. A writing desk of Colonial style, which was made by Howard Grigsby, is about the best piece of workmanship that has ever been turned out at East Technical High School. It isinlaid with Circassian walnut,ebony, holly wood and oak. The finish is of an excellent lustre having been rubbed on. THE JUNE BUG 71 William Deisher made a beautiful buffet of mahogany. The design is ol the Adam style. The drawers, in fact the whole buffet, is covered here and there with beautiful carved designs. Look at the picture and notice the handsome lines of the piece. In room 219, the students not only make pieces of fur-niture for themselves, but for others. Manyof the boys have orders from outsiders. R. J. Bloss has made bookshelves in a plain design from walnut. He has also made a fine pedestal for theCleveland Leader football trophy. A LIBRARY DESK MADE BY HOWARD GRIGSBY The boys of room 219 have certainly proven the adage “make fine furniture and people will come to know you,” as the orders from outside customers attest. WOOD CARVING ROBERT J. BLOSS 1916 Wood carving, one of the oldest branches of art, was much practiced among the Egyptians,Greeks and Romans. Centuries before people knew any thing about writing, various sorts of hierogliphics designed to represent expressions of thoughts were carved in the bark of trees and on huge stones or stratified layers of rocks. Through the natural progression of civilization with its intellectual advancement, these wierd signs gradually assumed forms somewhat similar to those in present use, which have descended to us from our European ancestors. Thus has the art developed until now it is a practical feature of every well regulated and up-to-date high school. In our own school Mr. Emil Wydman teaches this important art to those boys who are specializing in our woodworking department. Those students who want to acquire only a slight knowledge of the various crafts which are taught in our school will not be greatly attracted by wood carving, as there 72 THE JUNE BUG is a great amount of hard labor connected with it and in order to do good work it requires steady nerves, but to those who are willing to devote time and energy it will be of great value. Carving is most always used for the decoration of furniture. One must be careful in choosing the appropriate design for the work. Really it is more than the mere selection of the design, for eventually it means a reproduction of a picture which the artist has conceived. After the choice of a certain design, to do fine carving, the person endeavoring to execute a design must have not only a complete knowledge of numerous tools but also a perfect control of them so he can use each of the various tools skillfully and carefully. Particularly is this true in the class where the boys are indeed fortunate who have so good a set as those used by the instuctor, Mr. Wydman. In the above mentioned class most of the wood that is used for carving purposes is mahogany, many table and floor lamps are made by the boys as well as tables and chairs of the different designs and patterns. Emanuel A. Matyas graduating with the classof 1916, has designed and made a mantel clock upon which he carved a leaf design. He also has made a floor and table lamp both of which have quite an elaborate bit of carving on each of them. Another student, Humbert Iacabucci, is the proud possessor of a very handsome hand carved lamp which he designed and made while working in the wood carving class in East Tech High School. H. Rebman has also made a mahogany library table with the legs decorated in the claw effect. There have been numerous other articles of practical value made by various students, all of them proving that the art of wood carving has in no ways degenerated. ELECTRICAL DEPARTMENT OTTO FROEHUCH 1916 Our department of electricity is gradually becoming prominent, which is self evident, for more of our boys are becoming interested in it each term In fact, the department has grown so in importance, that it has received the valued recognition of the Board of Education, for they are going to equip our FLOOR LAMP MADE BY MATYAS THE HAND CARVED LAMP MADE BY M. IACABUCCI THE JUNE BUG 73 school with a new and improved typeof electrical laboratory. This laboratory is included in the specifications for the new addition to our school. There are good reasons for all these procedures. The main reason being, the boys themselves. These boys, we may say, have come under the influence of electricity. Its wonders and perplexing properties have interested them until they wish to dig into matters and learn the whys and wherefores. This department has a well organized program, for it is the instructor’s endeavor to improve it each term, to remedy any defects or to add new parts. This process has given us a program that is a compilation of improvements. This program is so arranged that the student receives both the theoretical and the practical knowledge of electricity. The electrical course is divided into three terms. In the first term the student is instructed in regard to the elementary principles of electrical theory. Included in the theory there are a series of problems, which are to be worked in the class. These problems consist of various practical applications of electricity. Throughout the first term the student works also in the electrical shop. Here he starts in by doing simple bell wiring, then he proceeds to do more complicated annuniciator wiring. It is this work which enables the student to install various electrical circuits. When the student grows more proficient he starts to install lighting wiring, and in connection with this he must learn the Underwriter’s code. This code consists of rules which states in what manner certain electrical fixtures must be installed. During this time illustrated lectures are given upon house wiring. This is given in connection with the lighting wiring done in the shop. The second term consists also of electrical theory and shop work, only that now the work is getting down upon a practical basis. In the theory, motors and generators are now studied. Problems to be worked in class are also included in thisterms work. Armature winding and switch board construction are taught the student, and lectures upon experiments are given. These experiments are performed in the laboratory. First, the experiments are performed with direct current machines. Then alternating current is included. In these experiments the workings of alternating machines and transformers are dealt with mainly. It is also a requirement of this term’s work that each student must design a transformer. No theory is studied in the third term. This term is adapted for specializing. The student is now required to do odd jobs. These jobs call upon the student to employ all his ingenuity as an amateur electrician and thereby brings him closer to the practical side than ever before. These odd jobs consist of all classes of work. They range from installing or repairing lighting circuits in our building to repairing various electrical machines. There is no limit to the kind of work. In one instance of the past term a group of boys were called upon to lay out the wiring diagrams for the new laboratory. The 74 THE JUNE BUG specializing student has also the choice of constructing various electrical appliances such as an electric stove, flatiron, or soldering iron. Transformers and small motors may also be built by the student. This concludes the electrical course of our school. The student has now acquired fairly enough knowledge of that science to get started upon and it rests with him whether he will ever become what he set out to be. It will mean more continuous self study combined with the practical experience in order that he might gain his goal. This perseverance and self concentration will make the electrician. The question now arises as to what the possibilities in this line really are. The electrical field is one of the newest and broadest. Its opportunities are said to be most encouraging for the practical man who has acquired a thorough knowledge of this science. In fact the possibilities for the electrical trained man are enormous. Mr. Steinmetz, one of our modern electrical wizards, recently made a speech to the members of the Electrical Club of Chicago, from which the following is an extract: “Gentlemen, can’t you see the face of the earth changing before your very eyes? Electricity is changing the city, the factory, and the home. Steam has built up our great cities with their congestion and slums. Electricity will break them down and scatter the population evenly over the continent, because electricity can be transmitted anywhere by transmission wires. Steam must always be used where generated, and where there is a large labor supply.” So it can be seen that when our boys take up electricity they cannot go wrong if they are in earnest. The work is interesting and the compensations received by it are liberal. IN THE FOUNDRY HERBERT HERBEL 1917 The foundry impresses the average student in two ways, one of which is the fact that extremely pungent odors closely rivalling those originating in the chemical laboratory are generated whenever “heats” are ‘taken off.’ The other impression is usually more lasting than the former because most of us have at one time or another incurred the displeasure of our worthy and most honorable faculty. The victims, when sent to the warden of East Tech’s correction foundry are given sentences according to their offences. For example “skipping ’’generally always draws a term of cupola chipping (an exceedingly pleasant and clean job) while mere forgetting of keys or whispering in study hall draws a sentence of changing the location of several young mountains of sand. This system of correction has several advantages over any as yet devised by the Osbornes and Cooleys of the East Tech Inquisition, namely, it gives the victims a chance to ponder over their past wrongs (forgetting of keys and shop aprons, etc.), and see the errors of their ways while learning first hand the close affinity cast iron has for the fire brick lining of the cupola, and also the finer points of the art of sand shoveling. From a practical standpoint the foundry has been built up wonderfully since February, 1913, when Mr. Horkan first took charge of it. When ‘Mike’ began at his present position he found several elements to contend with, the THE JUNE BUG 75 chief of which was due to the fact that previous to his advent, as the foundry man of Tech, the man in charge turned out practically no castings of any value, and consequently the castings had to be purchased outside of school at an increased cost for the machine shops. On account of the past results the student body and faculty regarded the foundry department as more of an expensive experiment than anything of practical value. Now, however, the foundry is turning out a great variety of castings, ranging in size from the two-inch bearing cap to the twelve foot swing-saw, at a considerable saving to the school. The student body as a whole is taking more interest in foundry work as is shown by the fact that the boys now specializing in foundry outnumber the boys specializing in pattern making, for the first time in the school’s history. Some people, both students and faculty, have a hazy conception of foundry work as being an extremely dirty occupation, and that the labor expended in making a mold is purely physical or in other words, any one can make a mold because of the lack of science needed in its construction. However, any one of the individuals who knocks the foundry because of the above stated reasons can readily have the privilege of proving their assumptions by attempting to derive molds similar to those made by the specializing boys. To establish the school foundry as a recognized department of the shops was Mr. Horkan’s sole ambition, and due to his untiring efforts, the foundry has risen from the costly experiment of 1913, to be one of the very few self-supporting established school institutions. MAKING THE CASTINGS IN FOUNDRY FOR THE SWING SAW 76 THE JUNE BUG LATHE INDUSTRY IN EAST TECH HAROLD LAMB 1916 At the beginning of every term East Tech is usually confronted with the problem of space and facilities with which the freshmen must be supplied. The cabinet making and wood turning shops have been crowded in late years. However, this problem has been looked after and the solution is the planning of a new shop to handle the large number of incoming freshmen. This shop, unlike the others, is going to be equipped with some of our own products. Six lathes are the most important but the band saw, bench hand planer, and other products must be considered of like importance. These six wood turning lathes are excellent examples of the progress being made by the different departments in East Tech, for the lathes are being designed, supplied, and made in our own school. The designing has been done in room 312 by Rowland Cukr and Allardt. Allardt worked on the designing of these back in 1912, and since he has graduated Cukr has revised the drawings, making a few changes and then tracing it and last of all making the blue print. Mr. Mathews, the instructor in room 312, has generally supervised the designing of the lathes. The blue print is then taken to the pattern shop where patterns are made for use in the foundry. Mr. Rolinson has charge of the work in the pattern shop and Mueller has made the patterns. Then the patterns are taken down to the foundry. Here Mr. Horkan, the instructor has, with the aid of Herbel, made castings for the lathes. When the patterns arrive at the foundry, the cores are made and the patterns are turned over to the moulder, who makes the impression in the sand from the patterns, and the core is placed in the mould after which the mould is closed up. Molten metal is obtained from the cupola and the pouring takes place. The castings are allowed to stand for twenty-four hours and then the gatesand risers are removed. If thecasting was not allowed to cool for twenty-four hours or more it would probably come out too hard for planing. With the aid of wire brushes and other tools the castings are cleaned up and sent to the machine shop. When they reach the machine shop they are placed on the planer. The “bottom pads” of the lathe are machined off; it is then turned over and the bed is planed down. The blue print used in the pattern shop is used to obtain the dimensions, the first dimensions to follow are the required width and height. After this the ways are formed on the planer and the bearings planed down. While this is going on the other parts of the lathe, such as the legs, head stock, tail stock, spindle, face plate, cone pulley and tail stock screw, are being made by our own machinists. Most of this work has been done in room 19, where Mr. Vickerman and Mr. Cummins have looked over the work as it progressed. However, the counter-shafts and rests and some handles have been turned out in room 14, where Mr. Yoder has supervised the work. Mr. Vickerman prepared a chart to keep record of those working on the different parts of the lathes. Some have given most of their time to the pro- THE JUNE BUG 77 duction of the lathes. Parker, Shepheard, Pocta, Bubna, Quinlan, and many others have been of much service towards finishing the products and com pleting the order. The band saw is also being made in room 19, and the bench hand planer likewise. Labbie, Godley, Schonmeyer and others have helped in the production of the band saw. The forge shop has been an important factor in the production of the equipment as here tools are hardened, bolts are made for use in setting up the jobs on the planers and shapers. “John” the repair man, has likewise been of assistance in this work. When the block and tackle is necessary for hoisting heavy jobs on the planer or miller John” is on hand and always proves to be of assistance. The lathes are all assembled after the different parts have been made and when the “filler” is applied and everything ready for work we are all proud to see the following name show out on the finished product,—East Technical High School. COURSE IN AGRICULTURE RONALD STRACHAN 1916 Some two years ago a course in Agriculture was started at East Tech under the direction of Mr. A. P. Jones. He had numerous obstacles to overcome, but as he understood the practical as well as the theoretical side of Agriculture he soon proved himself the man for the job. The first thing was to get a fair sized class, which was a very hard task, as the course was entirely new to the pupils of East Tech. But after much explaining he succeeded in starting with a class of eleven. As there was not a class room fitted for agriculture our instructor conducted the laboratory work in the open. The first outside work the class received was the art of digging soil, which was performed at the rear of the school. After the class had mastered the art of turning soil our instructor graduated them to the school orchard, where they received their first lesson in how to prune and spray trees which proved to be very interesting. In fact some of the class got so interested they quite forgot they were seated on the limb they were sawing and both came down together. In spraying, the fluid did not at all times land where it was meant to go, and some of the fellows eyes smarted considerably before they had mastered this art. The class continued this work throughout the remainder of the term with the exception of a few days that were spent on the field trips to greenhouses of different florists. The February term started with a large class of beginning pupils who were required to spend their first term taking Botany so as to receive the fundamentals of agriculture. By this time the large greenhouse at the rear of the school was completed and ready for use. The greenhouse is divided into three sections, one for a laboratory and the others for practical work. In the laboratory there is sufficient apparatus and material to perform any kind of an experiment. Some of the experiments performed are the analysis 78 THE JUNE BUG of soil, the germination and growth test, grafting and budding, propagating cuttings, and the Babcock test to find the per cent of butter-fat in milk. While the advanced class deal entirely in the practical work. During the latter part of this term the “Aggies” did considerable outside work in pruning and spraying of orchards for different business men, for which they were payed between twenty and thirty cents per hour. Their work proved very satisfactory and ever since the “Aggies” have been kept busy out of school hours. At the beginning of the summer term the class that had Botany started the course of general agriculture, which was planting and cultivating a small plot of ground in the school garden in which a variety of flowers and vegetables were raised. This work was very interesting and profitable, as many of the pupils found sales for their vegetables. Mr. Jones took every opportunity to show the class the working of model poultry raising, dairy farming, greenhouse, and nursery uses. Starting on the second year of this course, the classes show a considerable increase as there are now nearly fifty “Aggies” enrolled. On account of this course being entirely new at East Tech, the task of grading the pupils systemized in this order; 1—Botany. 2—Beginning general agriculture. 3—Advanced general agriculture. 4—Specialization. Mr. Jones’ classes have organized a social club, the “East Tech Aggies.” They did not linger behind like other clubs but started the season off with a Barbecue which proved a great success, as there was plenty to eat. The only drawback was a trip thru the slaughter house the day before, the memory of which took the edge off our appetite for roast pig, leaving many who would have preferred chicken. The next social affair was the initiation of new members, which was an eye opener to all who saw it, and I am sure made many a “flat” wish he was an “Aggie.” The spring term has been devoted mostly to greenhouse work. So far, hundreds of coleus, geraniums, ageratums, begonias, chrysanthemums, fuchsias, vincas, English and German ivy, and other plants have been propagated from cuttings as well as the hundreds of plants grown from seeds and bulbs for indoor and outdoor use. THE SCIENCE OF TAXONOMY DWIGHT PALMER 1916 The estimates as to the annual loss to agriculture caused by injurious insects and fungus diseases show that the yield of all crops is lessened by them fully twenty five per cent. This means an annual loss of more than five hundred millions of dollars in the United States alone. By proper spraying, fully seventy five per cent of this great loss can be prevented. This statement needs no proof as all practical fruit growers have demonstrated time and again. Many may admit there is great loss caused by injurious insects and fungus diseases yet only a few realize that this loss is really a benefit to every progressive farmer, because the loss can be prevented by intelligent effort. THE JUNE BUG 79 It is only shiftlessness and lack of knowledge on this subject on the part of the farmers who do not put spraying into practice. This gives the active think ing and progressive farmers an immense advantage. The market demand for inferior fruit does not pay for its harvest, consequently it stands little chance of sale along side of the choice fruits. The injuries to crops caused by insects have long been known and under stood, since in most cases the insects and their methods of operation could be seen with the naked eye. But there are other cases of injuries which have not been so well understood, such as blights, rusts, smuts, and mildews; for this reason the nature of their cause could only be made out with the aid of the microscope. These diseases have been attributed to various causes, usually some condition of the soil or the weather. It has also been known that the injuries of insects could be largely prevented by applying to the affected part of the plant or plants, certain poisonous substances, such as Paris green and London purple. But these substances have no effect upon fungus diseases; still others have been found which have proved to be very effectual in their application. Among these, the most valuable are copper sulphate and copper carbonate. An application of these must be considered a preventative rather than a curative; for in many cases after the fungus has gained an entrance to the tissues of the host plant, it is out of reach of the spray and will develop in spite of it. While spraying means additional labor, it more than pays for itself in the increased price obtained. However, the spraying must be done intelligently or it will be of no avail. When failure occurs it may usually be attributed to the lateness of the application. This treatment is not a cure-all, as it will not bring back to life a dead plant or restore the leaves of a tree after they have been eaten off by caterpillars. The best results are not obtained the first year, especially when spraying for fungus diseases, but it is essential to give continued attention to all the details. A regular program in the treatment of trees is now considered a necessity by every successful orchardist. The beginner, and the average farmer with a small orchard is quite dependent on simple, yet effective means for the treatment. He needs to know what combination of sprays can be best made and exactly when these can be best applied to obtain the maximum results, with minimum outlay of effort and money. Most diseases of plants are caused by low forms of vegetable life, known as fungi, which live upon and within the tissues of the higher order of plants. They are thus parasites which obtain their nourishment by breaking down the cells of the plants upon which they exist. The main difference, other than size, between the fungi and the higher order of plants, is the lack of green coloring matter, or chlorophyll, which is so abundant in the healthy vegetation. The methods of development in the fungi are very similar to that of the plants, but their microscopic size renders their study more difficult. The parasitic fungi spend the winter mostly within the living and dead vegetable tissues and during the first warm days of spring send out small spores which correspond to the seeds of plants. These spores are distributed by the wind 80 THE JUNE BUG and otherwise, from plant to plant, and when conditions are favorable as to moisture and warmth, these spores send out small branches which penetrate into the living tissues of plants where new branches are formed in immense numbers which soon sap the vitality of the healthy plant and cause it to become diseased. By the application of a fungicide to a plant, we destroy the spores which have found lodgement upon it and check the further development of additional spores which might destroy it. Just as long as the tissues of a plant are covered with a thin even coating of some fungicide no fungi can develop upon them. Thus if a fungicide be applied at regular intervals of about two weeks during the spring and early summer, a plant disease may be held entirely in check. A large use has been made of lime-sulphur, which has come into use mostly for preventing scale insects such as oyster shell and San Jose scale. This mixture is made by boiling together caustic lime and flowers of sulphur in the presence of water. By this heating process the combination is effected by the calcium and the sulphur. For practical purposes color reactions are used as a guide. When the solution becomes reddish it is the proper color. This spray applied in the dormant period or just when the buds are swelling, is proof against insects and also is very efficient as a fungicide. In no other line of applied science has America made more rapid progress than in the study of plant diseases and their remedies. This progress has been made possible by the agencies recently developed in the United States, such as State Agriculture Colleges, Agriculture Experimental Stations and the United States Department of Agriculture. Through scientific experiments and research these institutions are achieving wonderful results and we may safely prophecy much advancement in this subject in the future. THE JUNE BUG 81 THE ARTS AND CRAFTS A. KEHRES 1916 The first term pupil in arts and crafts starts with a problem in piercing in which a paper knife is usually made. Piercing is the sawing of metal with small saws made for that purpose. Then a problem in etching follows that in which a rocking blotter or watch fob is made. Etching is the eating of metal in acid. The metal is painted all over except the part or design to be etched; when this paint is dry the piece isleft in acid till the acid eats the bare places to the depth desired. The article is then cleaned of the paint and the proper finish is then put on. Razing is the next problem where the metal is pounded to the shape desired with mallets and hammers. There is also connected with this variouscast iron forms which are used. Following, comes embossing and chasing. Embossing is the raising of the design from the back and chasing is the lowering of the metal around the design, thereby giving prominence to the design. For this problem, book ends and various other articles are selected. After this, the pupil can construct articles which he wishes to make, but sometimes the teacher thinks a riveting problem neccessary, so a shade or jewel box can be made by the pupil. The second term the pupil can work in silver while the first term pupil works in copper and brass. In this second term a number of new problems are taken up, the first being a small box or vase. These of course, are made of copper or brass. A problem in enameling is taken next in which watch fobs or other things may be made. Usually the students desire to make a watch fob or other piece of jewelry with a scarab on it, with the brown and gold enamel. Following this comes stone setting in which the pupil learns to make a bezzle for the stone. This is at first a tedious job but after a few are made, bezzles are not balked at. Engraving is, or ought to be, the last problem. This about finishes the problems in metal work. I say engraving ought to be last for by the time a pupil gets through with the other problems he will be more used to making small articles. Engraving requires a steady hand, for a slip of the tool may mean the ruin of the piece of jewelry and the tool must be very sharp in order to get good results and if an accident occurs it means a gash in the piece, but taking all in all, engraving is fascinating as it is slow, steady work. This is not all there is to “Arts and Crafts” as the finish is extremely important, for an article may not be as attractive to some unless it is colored. In coloring, various coloring solutions are used; also heat. Heat is the best for copper and brass for the colors have to come because certain colors come with different heats, while the coloring solutions grow weak and they cannot always be depended upon unless they are fresh. Besides the coloring which is taught, there is connected with this art, designing. Designing may not seem necessary but a crafsman depends on his designs as much as the workmanship, because a good design with poor workmanship will take better than a bad design with good workmanship. So sketches are deemed necessary; also a finished drawing and a tracing of each article made. This insures a combination’of good designs with good workmanship. 82 THE JUNE BUG MAKING THE JUNE BUG RAYMOND O. AMUNDSEN 1916 There are many readers of the June Bug, who have not the least idea of how the East Tech annual is published; that is, from the getting of material to the printing. About the middle of December, Mr. Blaisdell searches the building for the most competent fellow in the school to take the position of editor-in-chief, and he found the right one this year in “Bill” Deisher. The editor-in-chief, with the assistance of Mr. Blaisdell, selects his staff of editors and helpers, consisting of the editors of boys’ shops, domestic science, jokes and societies; each department editor is allowed to have as many assistants as he thinks is necessary. The helper of most use is the business manager, and Howard Grigsby is filling this position with favorable results. The editor has to see that all stories and articles are read over by an English teacher and Miss Katherine Hostetler has faithfully attended to this. The articles are then taken to the printshop where Mr. Webster gives it the finishing touches. The business manager takes care of the money end of the deal and has to take trips down to the engraving company to see that all the engravingsand cuts are finished and returned so as not to delay the printshop, or to the ink company to see that the ink is the right kind. After this is looked after, the setting up of the type and printing comes next. No one realizes how much work there is connected with the printing of a June Bug. Often the material or cuts are late in arriving, or the different editors have a lot of material in, and they wonder why this work or that part of the June Bug isn’t out the same day or some want it the day before, so we can consider ourselves more than thankful to have so patient and indulgent an instructor at the head of the printing department. When enough material, or “copy” as it is called, arrives at the printshop it is given to the boys at the type cases, as all the type in the June Bug is hand set by the boys. They set the type in a composing stick, placing it upside down and in reverse. The type is then placed in a brass contrivance for holding the type, called a galley. When sixteen pages are set, two pages are locked in an iron frame which is called a chase, after which a rough proof is made. This is read over by the instructor or one of the boys, the corrections made, after which a revised proof is sent to Mr. Blaisdell for a final reading. The sections are made up of sixteen pages each, two pages being run at one time, thus, pages 1 and 16 are run together, as are pages 2 and 15, so to print a section it is run thru the press eight times. Each page has to be slip-sheeted, that is a soft piece of paper is put between each printed page so as not to back-print and spoil the next sheet. After the printed pages have lain over night, they are then separated and the same course taken for the reverse side. These pages are now ready to be folded, the folding often being done by the members of the annual board, after which these are put into sections of sixteen pages each. The sections are 83 THE JUNE BUG EAST TECH PRINT SHOP WHERE JUNE BUG IS PRINTED then gathered together until the June Bug is a complete book and is sent to the bindery, where the 1916 annual is completed and made ready for your inspection. Some day we shall do our own binding, and make the June Bug an East Tech enterprise. As it is, we know of no other high school in the land that is printing its own annual. In the editing and printing of the June Bug it is demonstrated that printing is most closely allied to a knowledge of English and Art. The preparation of all manuscript, including that of the departments of literature, societies, shops, jokes, etc., is taken care of in the English department. This of course requires editors for the prepartion of articles on domestic art, domestic science, girls’ trade classes, boys’ shops, foundry, special cabinet making, wood carving, the electrical construction, lathe industry, course in agriculture, arts and crafts, printing, night school, etc. The headings for the different departments in the June Bug are worked out in the Art department while the type setting, proof reading, and press work is done by the boys in the printshop. The experience gained by boys and girls in doing the practical work necessary in getting out the annual is most valuable and adds much to an education of helpfulness that will prove of great benefit to them in after life. 84 THE JUNE BUG THE PRINTING DEPARTMENT A. ABRAMS. NIGHT SCHOOL STUDENT While the study of the abstract sciences such as mathematics and geometry is attended with its own peculiar rewards there is nevertheless lacking the delight felt by craftsmen—a delight that is derived from the studying out of problems that the hand must execute. Nowhere perhaps, does this conjunction of hand and brain enjoy the latitude and the accessibility of the needed materials as in the school printshop. While for practical and profitable purposes the high relative importance of learning the accepted standard forms, owing to their wide use and application, yet even here the varieties of type and styles of proportioning and arranging them, permit of individual interpretation and handling, yet there remains the immense field left for the creative worker, who would add to his heritage from the past the results of his own thought and labor. The average private printshop having no systematic method of, nor facilities for, training its apprentices, leaves them to gain a knowledge of their trade in a haphazard manner and this sort of training, or lack of it, inevitably shows in the average printer. At East Tech we have an instructor ripe in years and in understanding of the printing trade, one who possesses the rare ability to impart that knowledge to the student. Students of many ages, and degrees of development, come to the night classes and are given work adjusted to their capabilities without the least friction, as the method of teaching, is (as it necessarily must be in classes of this sort) mainly individual. Some there are that need training in the rudiments, and others vary in the degrees of ability from the beginners to the finished compositor, who finds the school printshop the ideal place to experiment in new ideas. The interest of the student is held and his enthusiasm quickened by imbibing, little by little, the several principles of commercial and artistic typography. The school printshop has two platen presses, a cutting machine and stitcher, and a number of cabinets containing many varieties of type. The students are furnished with a diverse knowledge from these interlocking branches of printing, so that when they specialize in one craft, they will retain a general knowledge of the dependent trades which will help to effect a harmonious adjustment of the different crafts with each other so as to form an effective whole. A THE JUNE BUG 85 EAST TECH NIGHT SCHOOL CLARK RIDDELL 1916 The night school at East Tech has been in existence since the fall term of 1908. The school board at that time saw that there was as much of a demand for a technical school at night as there was for one in the day. It originated in order to give men and women an opportunity to broaden their training in the line of work in which they were already employed, or for which they thought they were fitted. The night school has this same object at the present time. The school started with less than 400 pupils, and since has been steadily growing, till now there is an enrollment of 1400, one fifth of these being girls. It is growing so fast, that it is now necessary for some classes to have two sessions an evening instead of one. The first session starts at 5 o’clock and ends at 7 while the second session is from 7:15 to 9:15 o'clock. A person seeking admission to this school is asked to fill out a card which has on the back the different courses that may be chosen. He puts down his name, address, age and the course selected. The only requirement of prospective pupils is that they are not allowed to attend any day school and that they must speak and understand the English language. After filling out the card, the pupil is assigned to class by Mr. Hutchins, the course selected corresponding to the applicant’s occupation. In classifying the pupils, three divisions are considered. First, the Vocational class, which refers to those pupils who desire instruction in the same work in which they are employed. Second, the Semi Vocational class, where a pupil takes a course unlike the the one at which he is employed, but having a close relation to it. A good example of this class would be the relationship between pattern making and foundry. The third class is Avocational which refers to pupils taking courses that have no connection with their employment. The vocational class has the preference over the other two,as the second and third classes are not admitted to the trade classes unless the enrollment of the trade workers is too small to warrant the continuing of such a class, which condition seldom exists except in the spring term. The pupil having been enrolled, goes to his class. He is then requested to pay a tuition fee of $5, $3.50 of which is returned at the end of the term if he has an average attendance of 75 per cent or more. The returning of this sum for prompt attendance requires the members to be regular. The pupils go to school two evenings a week, for a period of ten weeks, or for one term. There are three terms in one school year. A pupil going two years will receive a certificate of proficiency provided it is recommended by his instructor. These certificates are of distinct value to the holder of them, as a high standard of work is required. Anyone taking a technical course may also take Shop Math, Physical Training, and Business English. The latter course gives a working knowledge of the English language. The course offered to men includes all shops of the Tech day school, also Architectural, Sheet Metal and Machine Drawing, Industrial Chemistry, Agriculture, Stationary Engineering, English,Shop Math and Physical Training. 86 THE JUNE BUG The modern shops of today give a workman imperfect, and highly specialized training. In other words a man who has not had previous training and is unskilled, may go into a shop and be put on an automatic machine. This machine does all his brainwork for him. He may become highly efficient in this one line of work, but there his knowledge of machine shop practice as a whole, stops. It is to give this type of man an opportunity to gain practice in a greater variety of work than would ever be opened under the modern system of machine production, that the instruction in the trade course is intended. The courses for women include sewing, cooking, millinery, chemistry of foods, gymnasium and personal hygiene. They are for those who are employed during the day, and who need assistance and instruction along lines which will be most helpful to them. This includes, as can be seen by the courses offered, the making of clothing, cooking, and the care of the home. So you can see that a saleswoman, stenographer, or any of the gentle sex who intend to break into the matrimony game, and who have not had any previous instruction in the making of clothing and care of the home, can avail themselves of this excellent opportunity of going to night school. The lady’s intended need never know where she learned to make such nice flaky biscuits, or why her last year’s hat looks so nice. There are classes for men and women which include instruction in applied design and the opportunity of working out problems in design for pottery, lathe work, art metal work, wood block printing and stenciling. All courses are taught through lectures and by practical work. The instructors for this night school are men and women, specialized in one branch of work and they teach the pupils by the benefit of their own experience. Out of the forty-six teachers in night school thirty-five teach during the day. It wouldn’t be fair to end here without mentioning the man who manages this night school, and who with his staff of teachers helps to give the men and women attending East Tech Night School, a chance to better themselves. I refer to our esteemed assistant principal of day school and principal of night school, Mr. H. A. Hutchins. THE JUNE BUG 87 LITERATURE — awwwf1 Pgq 'TUJoter -— A RAINSTORM ALLAN GREEN 1916 The guy ropes of the tent hung slack while the hot and uncomfortable boys lounged in the shade of the glaring canvas. It was a day in August, a few hours past noon and an air of drowsiness seemed to pervade the whole camp. Small flies droned their way through the air while a few ambitious birds chirped feeply as they hopped in search of food. The dog was lying on his side, his mouth open and panting as though he had been running. Suddenly there came a change in the atmosphere of the camp. A slight wind sprang up and the cloud of torpidness seemed to lift. The hum of flies quickened, the birds searched more valiantly while the boys rose and stretched themselves, mumbling and talking in low tones to each other. The dog stopped panting, blinking his eyes and gazed up at the boys, wagging his tail as if he too understood and approved the movement. The tents flapped lazily in the light but ever increasing breeze, straining at the once idle guyropes. The sky which had before been a placid blue began to change, taking on a lighter color with a slight tinge of yellow. This was discemable to a close observer but the boys failed to heed one of nature’s unmistakable signs. The boys being glad of a little relief from the hot August sun, were soon occupied in knocking a tin can off a rock and making a small boy chase after it. So absorbed were the boys in the game that they did not notice the clouds gathering in the western sky. It was soon discovered by the small boy and all hurried back to the camp. The high wind drove the clouds to the eastward like waves are driven upon the shore. The blue from the sky had entirely disappeared and, in its place surrounded by black clouds, was a large bright yellow spot. This was rapidly decreasing in size as the wind heightened into a gale. The canvas of the tents was tugging madly at the guy ropes as if it wished to pull up the stakes. The dog ran madly around the camp barking 88 THE JUNE BUG at the stray leaves blown into the air by the wind. The boys too were running around staking down the tents and digging trenches, preparing in general for a storm. This was finally accomplished as the last spot of yellow disappeared and the whole sky became black. The small boys hastened to the tents while some of the larger boys remained to watch the on-coming storm. They viewed it with a feeling of awe and fear; their eyes open wide with wonder. Suddenly a blinding flash of lightning and a war of thunder drove these last stragglers into the tents. The rain seemed to fall in sheets and with such fury that it penetrated through the canvas, sending a fine spray over the boys inside. The wind lashed the lake with a fury that drove huge breakers upon the beach with a loud booming sound which could be heard by the boys, huddled in the tents. The small boys crouched together in the middle of the tent their faces drawn into the stern lines that show deep feeling. The older ones were talking excitedly and were trying to keep the walks of the tent from letting in more rain. Some had blankets over them. Others had gotten out rubber caps and coats to protect themselves from the spray which came through the tent. The dog which had been the last to seek shelter snuggled down close to one of the boys with his nose laid out on the boy’s lap. Outside, the rain had settled down into a steady downpour. The ground which had before been hard and dry was now full of puddles. The grass lay matted and rain soaked beaten down by the wind. Everywhere it looked as if the world was going to be drowned. The flashes of lightning began to go farther and farther away and the thunder had grown to a distant rumble. Then the rain which had spent its force before, began to slacken up. The sky cleared up and the wind began to die down. The dog weary of his confinement dashed out of the tent splashing in the pools of water in the field. The boys shed their shoes and stockings and ran out in the light rain digging their toes in the mud. The sun bravely came out from behind the clouds and chased away the last drop of rain. The fields and tents were steaming as if a huge fire was built under the ground. The birds came out and chirped louder then ever. Everything seemed to rejoice that the rain had come. The grass was greener and the tents were whiter, while the boys were made happy in the pools the result of the rain storm. THE JUNE BUG 89 SENSATIONS OF A FIRST SEA VOYAGE MATH1LLE BJERREGARD 1916 It was drizzling and the gray sky seemed to hang down almost to the top of the great sky scrapers of New York. The streets were slippery. Everyone was carefully picking his steps thru mud or jumping across flooded gutters. As we reached the New York docks and looked up at the great steel wall of the “Denver” we had a feeling of awe at the size of the great ship. When we were up on the street, we had looked down on her and she had just seemed an ordinary one, but now down here we felt as though we had suddenly grown small and that this great wall of steel had risen up from nowhere. We heard the rumble of the trucks as they loaded the cargo into the hold. We went aboard going immediately to our staterooms to get our baggage out of the way. We entered a long narrow hall that seemed very cold and dreary just in keeping with the weather. A somber melancholy old darky trudged down the hall with a long broom in his hand. We turned off into the second alcove where our rooms were. The arrangement of the rooms are in pairs. A little alcove turns off the main hall and then two staterooms open off this. My brother and father having one and my mother, sister and myself the other. We then went up the salon. This was a room furnished in oak. Large green arm-chairs looked very inviting. There was also a writing desk and piano. The long seats by the wall were also upholstered in green and as the people walked back and forth their feet sink into the depths of a soft green carpet. Here we lost all thought of the dismal weather outside and felt once more at home. A broad stairway with wide brass banisters led down into the dining room. This was the largest room in the boat. The long white tables were arranged cross-wise at the sides and length-wise down the center. Our friends remained on board with us and had dinner as we had this meal in port. At twelve thirty the whistle blew an ominous sound warning our friends it was time to part. After saying many farewells they left. The gang-planks were drawn up with a bang and the ropes were thrown loose from the dock. We glided out as smoothly as a bird gliding thru the air, we waved our handkerchiefs as long as we could see our friends on the fading dock. It was still raining and 1 noticed with a little feeling of fear, that the waves were white-capped. I had often heard this meant a storm. My sister and I went into the salon and I tried to read, but soon becoming tired of this we started to play games. A little boy came up to watch us, we asked him if he wanted to play. This was the first acquaintance of our own age we had made so far, and the last for a very good reason, that there were no more children on this trip. We then soon become very good friends and had a great time playing tag and hide-and-go-seek up and down the long hatchways. When we were 90 THE JUNE BUG tired playing games we went on deck. The wind was blowing quite hard by this time and the rain washed across one side of the deck, so everyone was crowded on the dry side. We soon began to feel the effects of the storm. One by one the people disappeared. I went down with my sister and very soon wished I was back on land in a bed that was not rocked by the waves. Looking thru our port hole, nothing could be seen but the dark waves and the mist ladened sky. We heard the dishes rattling for supper but none of us except my brother felt inclined to have any. It took a long time for us to fall asleep, due to the regular throb of the great heart of the ship. Soon we became accustomed to it and fell asleep. The next morning I awoke and through the porthole saw a smooth plane of bluish-green water meeting a blue sky. I thought the boat had stopped and could hardly convince myself that we were really moving. There was not a speck of land in sight. Father soon knocked on the door telling us to hurry up on deck and see the sun rise. We dressed as quickly as we could and climbed up the steps. What a sight we beheld. Flying fish seemed to dot the ocean. Skimming through the air for a short distance, they soon plunged under the surface of the water for their little silvery fins are not able to keep them in the air. Soon the sun rose with all its majesty, lingering half way up as though determining whether to continue or drop back from whence it came. Not a sign of the clouds of the previous day remained. Even the waves had dropped to an even roll. Then the silence was broken by the sound of a porter coming down the deck pounding on a tin tray, calling the people to breakfast. After breakfast we found our little friend of the day before and started in again on our regular form of exercise. While up in the bow one of us happened to look over the rail and was much impressed by the sight of the great steel prow which cut thru the water at a great rate of speed, and threw white spume out on both sides. In the stem, the wake left by the ship resembled that of a huge piece of lace stretching back and gradually ending in the distance. On a Wednesday we came into the port of Key West. About one o’clock we went ashore to see the sights of a city in the tropics. We walked up one of the small business streets and purchased some of the many souvenirs. The temperature registered ninety degrees Fahrenheit but I have never experienced such intense heat. In New Mexico the temperature registered one hundred five in the shade but the climate being dry it is not felt in such a hot form as where the atmosphere is damp. We did not walk for a very long time in that heat, but soon retraced our steps to the dock. We could hardly climb aboard we were so fatigued. We sailed again about two o’clock. The most wonderful sight met our eyes. The water near the docks was a dirty green, but as we steamed out it became a bright emerald green, and as we looked we could see a straight line where this green ended and a bright clear blue began. This blue water is the Gulf of Mexico in which we sailed the rest of our journey. As we looked down in- THE JUNE BUG 91 to this depth of clear blue we could see the coral formations at the bottom. To prove that this water was actually blue, we drew some in the bath tub. This is gotten direct from the ocean and it was a pale blue. One day as we were sitting in shady corners of the deck reading, some one called out in startled voice, to look towards the east. I looked up almost expecting to see a great sea monster or whale. But I was still more amazed when I looked, for there in the east were two great black columns rising out of the sea to the black clouds which hung over them. Some one ran up to the first mate and asked him if there was any danger. He told us they were at least half a mile away. He brought down a pair of spy glasses and we all looked thru them. He informed us that it was the largest water spout he had seen in twenty-five years. All the rest of the sky was bright and clear except for this black cloud that hung over the great whirl of water which was being carried up into the clouds to be discharged as a great storm somewhere. But they grew smaller and the first thing we knew they had disappeared. The rest of the journey, which lasted exactly a week, ended on another sweltering day at Galveston, Texas. We said many farewells to the friends we had made, not knowing whether we would ever see them again. But as the world is not so large we may have the pleasure of renewing the friendships made on our first sea voyage. A RAMBLE There was a young lady, Miss Campbell. Who went to the woods for a ramble; And while she was there, She met a huge bear, And in flight she was caught in a bramble. LITTLE NED A boy who was called little Ned, Fell down, badly cracking his head; Said he, ‘I’ll be dizzy So doctor, get busy;” And he hustled himself off to bed. 92 THE JUNE BUG A SMALL GIRL’S ESSAY ON BOYS IVY DIEBRI. Boys is awful funny people. They are awful teasers. Boys always want to pull girls’ hair and make faces at girls. When girls cry, boys call them, “cry babies and sugar babies.” Boys tease dogs, too. They tie cans on their tails. My big brother would lick anybody who would tie a can on our dog’s tail. Yes, he would! Boys always like to fight other boys. Boys is stronger nor anything and won’t never take girls fishing with them. My twin brother Ted is meaner nor an old mule. Me takes Sadie Jones to the picture theater one Sunday afternoon and wouldn’t let me go either. I saw them eating a soda after the show too. All boys tell lies. They stick pins in babies to make them cry and then they ain't hafta mind them. Boys won’t never let a girl play football nor catch with them. Mother says all boys is just like me. Men nor boys aren’t any good. Papa says mother can’t vote, but mother wears a black hat with white ribbons tied around her neck like what the suffrecats wear anyway. Boys eat all the jam and apple pies that mothers have in their cuppords. Boys can climb fences and telegraph poles because they don’t tear their skirts. They ain’t got any. Boys don’t like to be kissed no more norgirls. Aunt Salbima ain’t got no teeth and she kissed brother the other day and he just yelled and yelled. Uncle is nice to kiss 'cept for his whiskers, cause he gives Ted and me nickles after the kisses. Girls always has to smile at boys, 'cause boys wouldn’t take them to the parties if they didn’t. The boys all thinks sister Nell likes them, but I know she don’t. After boys go, sister always yawns and says, “gracious!” She calls all boys fools ’cept one, and she says he’s her beau. I asked Ted what a beau was the other day an’ he said it was what he was to Sadie Jones. Sister says her beau is a “doll,” but I ain’t never seen no man dolls ’cept Charley Chaplin ones with big feet. Sister's beau always wipes his feet on the mat before he comes in the house. Maybe that’s why mother likes him, too. He kissed her the other night but I ain’t going to tell anyone he did, ’cause he gave me a quarter not to. This is all I know about boys. Dad says I’m going to be a suffricat that smashes windows or else an old maid when I grow up. THE JUNE BUG 93 BEAUTIFUL BLOSSOM OF LOVE RUTH L. HULL 1919 A tiny green shoot from the hard earth peeped shy, And came slowly forth from its dark hiding place; It grew larger and stronger as each day went by, Till 'twas finally a plant, full of beauty and grace. The dear mother sun sent her warmest sunbeams, And the raindrops came, too, from the eyes of the sky, To awaken a dear baby bud from its dreams, Which into a blossom should bloom bye and bye. A tiny new thought in a heart once was growing, And its presence was felt as the time wore away; It grew larger and stronger until without knowing, The thought was awakened by Love one bright day. And out of the thought grew a deep, tender longing, To be always with thee and free from all care; Ah, yes, it was thou who awakened from sleeping, A blossom of Love that will always be fair. 94 THE JUNE BUG MY FIRST FLIRTATION GEO. L APPEL. JR.. 1916 We met first as we entered the third grade together. I was eight, she was seven. For eight years my heart had been dead to the allurement of the fair sex, but now I was stricken. She turned her pretty head, giving those bobbed chestnut curls a flirt, gave me one look from those limpid gold, gingeraleeyes, and my youthful heart burst from my bosom and fell fluttering at her feet— at least it felt like that. One look—that was all. I tried desperately but vainly to catch her eye again. I—I even winked, but she looked over my head. I did not despair, but tried to speak to her at noon. She looked at me again —Oh! Rapture! I received another glance from those heavenly eyes. Then she laughed. That laugh stabbed me through and through. But still I did not despond. For a whole week I made love madly, only to receive laughter or scorn. I became almost discouraged when, joy of joys, I saw a way to win her. I would be a hero. The teacher announced a spelling match to be held soon, with a beautiful, shiny mouth-organ, worth the sum of one jitney, for the winner. I would win that prize, if it cost me my jack-knife. I had a month in which to prepare. How I thumbed the “Quincy’s Speller” as I burned the midnight gas at seven or eight o’clock. I could only study at home. At school I could only look on and worship, my heart fluttering from my aesophagus to my vermiform appendix, and often when she was very cruel it went down into my shoes. I wore corns on my heart and on my feet and then wore bigger shoes. But she still spurned me. The day of the spelling match came. My face was set with grim determination as I took my place, fourth from the leader. If I died that day my last breath would gasp out the correct spelling of some word. She was next to the leader on her side. We spelled and spelled and finally narrowed to four, the leader on her side, the leader on my side, myself and herself. Finally she was given “relief;” she missed and I spelled it correctly. As she went to her seat she gave me a smile that made my heart turn three double flips and a giant swing. At last the match was between myself and my leader. We spelled until we were both tired out and he missed on “money;” I spelled it correctly, and received the shiny mouth organ worth one jitney. I walked over to her and laid it at her—on her desk and she said—Oh bliss! Oh ecstacy! She said. “Come on, walk home with me.” My cup was full. My heart broke three of my ribs, punctured my right lung and squashed my diaphragm. Ah the sweetness of that walk! I shall never forget it! This is an extract from Mr. Appel's forthcoming book, “Amatory Recollections. ONLY A THROB I’m small, but if you could see my heart, You’d find it as big as a four wheeled cart. At the sight of a boy there’s a throb and a jar. Like the jolt of a starting trolley car.—Ex. THE JUNE BUG 95 CHOICE SINGERS ELTA WEBBER 1918 Now” he says I will voices test; You Jim Sargent just sing your best.” And Jim gives forth a grumbling roar, A bass untrimmed and something more. Now Louise Smith it’s up to you; Just show me all that you can do.” And healthy blonde with wavy hair, Soprano proves while hearers stare. A voice I heard in Alfred’s seat; Will Master A1 the tone repeat?” Then Al, he gave a shocking yell, ’Till all the windows shook and fell. And so he drilled them one by one, Till finally his task was done. And both glee clubs of dear old Tech, Have not admitted all, by Heck. 96 THE JUNE BUG A WORLD OF SUNSHINE RUTH HULL 1919 If all the world was sunshine, And never cross or sad; And everyone spent sometime In making others glad; If you and I would try, dear, To do our very best, To banish ev’ry useless fear, And put our thoughts at rest; Then we would be so merry, So full of joy and love, That sorrow durst not tarry; And sun would shine above. THE JUNE BUG 97 THE SENIOR INTRODUCTION PARTY ELEANOR GALLEGHER A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the wisest men.” No doubt the dignified faculty and seniors of East Technical High School had this thought in mind when they assembled in the gymnasium on the afternoon of October fifteenth. The occasion was the Annual Introduction of the Senior Class. Elaborate preparations had been made by the Palladium Society under whose auspices the party was given. On entering the home room that morning each senior had been provided with a tag bearing his or her name and home room number. This tag was to serve as an introduction, no other more formal introduction being necessary. The seniors that day realized their importance, and all under classes were compelled to acknowledge their supremacy by saluting them in the corridors. Promptly at three thirty, all seniors repaired to the gymnasium where the girls formed an inner circle and the boys an outer one and after a short welcome address by the president of the Palladium, Miss Emma Hutton; the good old fashioned hand shaking, grand right and left, was indulged in by all members. Writing material was then provided and the person succeeding in remembering the most names was awarded a prize. The winner, Miss Jennie Fitch, was awarded with an old mother witch cap, which gracefully adorned her auburn tresses, for the remainder of the afternoon. Knowing the football boys tendency for vigorous exercise, the Palladium girls sought to encourage this by providing them with toy balloons. The boys forming a row at the end of the gymnasium, were told to see who would succeed in blowing his balloon to the other end of the room first. After strenuous exertion on his part, Ralph Fahey not onlysucceededinreachinghisgoal first but also in dusting the floor with his new suit, for which he was presented a stick of candy. Merle Telfer always did believe in “sweets to the sweet,” it being verified by her rapid disposal of all marshmellows on which she could lay hands. An interesting feature of the afternoon was the charades, which were planned and executed by the various home rooms on the different floors. In the course of the afternoon other games were played and light refreshments were served which were appreciated by all. Members then caring to “trip the fantastic,” did so. Shortly after the members dispersed, all declaring that they had spent an enjoyable afternoon, and voting the Senior Introduction Party a grand success. 98 THE JUNE BUG THE ALUMNI REUNION JOSEPHINE BARKER 1917 The Palladium gave the Annual Alumni Reunion, December 30, 1915. There were at least three hundred and fifty present. The lunch room was decorated with pennants and tall palms. The Palladium girls worked many afternoons in vacation to get it ready. Sonic of them served the meal which was cooked by Mrs. Wright. The long tables were arranged as to classes and were decorated with white crepe paper runners and shaded lamps. Glassware and silver shone in the soft light while an orchestra played lively music. Every one enjoyed the delicious chicken patties, mashed potatoes, green peas, ice cream, cake, and coffee. The girls from the junior class served. A program of speeches followed. Emma Hutton, president of the Palladium, presided, and the following responded to toasts; Mr. Hawkins, East Tech Employment Bureau. Florence Krum, toast to the Alumni. Christine Radway, Edwin Horr, Ivan Horr, Ivan Grigsby, Chas. Backus, Sol Schneider, Ethelyn Wilder, Response of the Alumni. Roger Mc-Cune, Walter Pike, Mr. Gibson, Spirit of the School. Earl Flood, Harry Sim-merniacher, Otto Hense, Spirit of the Alumni. Mr. Barker, The Brown and Gold. After the toasts all joined in singing— THE BIG BROWN TEAM See them plunging down to the goal, See the ruddy banners stream. Hear the crashing echoes roll As we cheer for the Big Brown team. Cheer till the sound from the blue hills around Make the scream of the north wind yield To the strength of the yell from the East Technical, When the big brown team takes the field. One thousand strong we march—march along With our football warriors bold. The football team was there and much lusty cheering went on. Mr. Gibson organized a ScarabClub, a club for alumni who have earned a Scarab insignia while in school. These graduates pledged themselves to help train our teams in coming years. After supper everyone adjourned to the gym where they danced. There were many bright colored gowns. The girls and men gathered in groups between dances to talk over old times. Everybody was glad to meet old friends whether in college or at work and they were also glad to meet the seniors here who were all invited. The party broke up about 11:30 and every one went gaily home vowing that he had a good time and promising to come next year. THE JUNE BUG 99 OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF T.IE PALLADIUM SOCIETY THE JUNE BUG 101 THE PALLADIUM SOCIETY HELEN SCHAEFER 1917 There was in the city of Troy a statue of Minerva called the Palladium. It was said to have fallen from heaven and there was a belief that the city could not be taken so long as this statue remained in it. So the Palladium became the protection of the city. In this sense the name of our society, Palladium, suggests the chief work of its members, to protect the best interests of the school. We aim to do this by promoting a broader literary interest, by furthering healthful social recreation and good fellowship in any way within our power, and by aiming to maintain a high standard of honest scholarship. We offer our services to the school in any way they may be needed. The Palladium is essentially an honor club and the membership list is filled with names at the head of the honor roll. In order to join the Palladium one must be a senior or advanced junior. Our meetings are held every two weeks on Monday evening and we always have a program presented by a group of our members. The fall term programs of this year, consisted of short stories presented in various ways. Some were read, others acted out. Each spring term program will be a presentation of some short play from which one will be chosen suitable for our annual spring program given in the auditorium. After our meetings we adjourn to our apartment on the third floor where we partake of light refreshments, prepared for us by the trade class. In our endeavor to be of service to the school we have established several precedents, Senior Stunt, Introduction Party, the School Calendar and the Annual Alumni Reunion. The senior introduction party was started to promote sociability and unity in the senior class. The party is always held in the fall term about the middle of October. It has been a success for two years and bids fair to become a custom of the school. The Palladium has taken chargeof the Alumni Reunion for four years. The first two years the reunion took the form of a dance. This however met the interest of such a small per cent of the alumni that a change seemed necessary. Everyone eats, so the Palladium tried an Alumni Dinner with a little dancing afterward. This has proved a great success. Since the reunion never pays for itself the girls of the Palladium have published an East Tech calendar to aid the alumni fund. Owing to the loyal support of the faculty and students, its success, though not great, has been, both last year and this, more than enough to make up the reunion deficit. The calendars are put out the last of November and the reunion is held the latter part of December. Next year the calendar will probably take the form of a snapshot trip thru the building, beginning with Mr. Barker in his office. The Palladium Society has been an active agent in the East Tech life for eight years and its members hope to make this year the best in its history, l he members are; Josephine Barker, Lillian Bates, Louise Breck, Mathille Bjerregaard, Muriel Cleaveland, Grace Curry, Esther Discher, Dorothy Douttiel, flora Fath-auer, Louverne Frombaugh, Ethel Fugman, Lenore Gallagher, Telsa Glueck, Ruth Greenbaum, Julia Hutchinson, Eva Hogue, Mary Hutton, Olive Johnson, Dolores Jones, Helene Jones, Ruth Keith, Luella Koehli, Gertrude Kreinbring, Marie Lemmon, Adelaide Lennie, Catherine Linnehan, Florence Martin, Dorothy Miller, Erma O’Brian, Irene Olson, Jean Palmer, Ruth Palmer, Rose Rig-nail, Helen Schaefer, Geraldine Scherer, Clara Schroeder,Marvel Sebert, Hazel Shatto, Hazel Thompson, Lucille Walker, Eleanore Wattleworth and Irma Wolkersdorfer. OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE SOCRATIAN SOCIETY THE JUNE BUG 103 SOCRATIAN DEBATING SOCIETY J. SHF.PHKARL) 191 The year 19151916, has been passed thru very successfully by the Socra-tian Society. In living up to the past standard of the oldest and best debating society in East Technical High School, by contributing its share of material for East Techs debating team. In the first debate, the Tech-Central debate, William Lohrey made the team. Prepared and extemporaneous debates mixed with an occasional impromptu speech have contributed to the entertainment of the members at the weekly meetings. By the strenuous efforts of the officers all the outstanding dues were collected. An appropriate way of spending the other fellow’s money for the benefit of the club as a whole occupied the minds of the Socrates till it was decided there was enough money in the treasury to give a stag theater party. Potash and Pearlmutter was the play favored by the club’s presence. A mock trial held in the school library will not soon be forgotten by those present except maybe Mr. Durstine who went to sleep listening to Waldo Emerson’s drawn out cross examination of the witnesses. Thus combining work with pleasure the Socratian Debating Society passed thru the busy year of nineteen sixteen. FALL SEMESTER OFFICERS SPRING SEMESTER Geo.

OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE DRAMATIC CLUB THE JUNE BUG 105 THE DRAMATIC CLUB ELLWOOD E. WALKLET 1916 The Dramatic Club of 1916 has been a great success. The enrollment started at one hundred and five but on account of rules in the constitution the number fell to sixty-five. The first event of the year was a stunt party, which being the first dance of the year and having to be postponed was not much of a success. The second event was a dance on the third floor which wasa great success. The floor was quite crowded but nevertheless everyone seemed to enjoy himself. The feature of this dance was the program, which had names of the members of the club to represent the dances. At the beginning of the dance the announcer would call out the kind of dance. This dance was held on the twenty-ninth of February, therefore the girls had to ask for the dances. The next event was the big annual play. This year the farcical comedy, “Charley’s Aunt,” was presented. Much credit should be given to the “Baron” for presenting the play so well in so short a time for rehearsals. The acting was very good and the attendance was good. A prize was given for the best ticket seller, to Ellwood E. Walklet, of the club, who sold one hundred forty-nine tickets. OFFICERS Ellwood E.

What does that mean?” This question has been asked of the Kelmscotter many times. The club took its name from the home of William Morris, an artist of the nineteenth century. He was an artist in both a literary and technical sense, his genius ranging from the heights of classic poetry to thepactical problem of furnishing homes artistically. Because of his versatility and his grasp of the practical as well as of the idealistic he was chosen as the patron of the newly formed club. The next question asked of the Kelmscotter is What do you do?” The Kelmscott club is a girls’ literary club, limited by its charter to twenty-five members. It meets every first and third Monday of the month for the purpose of studying the drama. Every time we meet we are entertained by a number of girls who have been chosen by our two faculty members, Miss Hyde and Miss Blake, to make a thorough study of an assigned play. One girl is asked to give the origin of the play, another the resume, while others present scenes from the play. Sometimes all the members are asked to respond to the roll call by giving a quotation from the play under consideration. We are always at liberty to ask questions, and each girl in the club must make her “debut in at least one program of the year. The club made its first formal appearance before the school, December 20,1915, when “The Traveling Man” by Lady Gregory was presented in the auditorium by a cast including Edna Fay as Traveling Man, Merle Telfer as the Child and Florence Benjamin as the Mother. Preceding the play,a group of Irish ballads was sung by Mrs. George Payne. This charming modem morality was part of the course in Irish drama which had been the subject for study during the fall semester. The present course of study for the Kelmscott Club is based on the Shakespearean plays grouped according to periods. After the literary work the club adjourns to the suite for a social hour, spent in having refreshments, sympathizing with each others troubles, and hearing and giving advice. Last spring the Kelmscotters had a picnic at Ruth Gawne’s summer home, Stop 139i Lake Shore Boulevard. The girls were delightfully entertained by Mrs. Gawneand spent the afternoon picking strawberries and exploring the beach. A delicious supper was spread on tables under the trees and it was scarcely eaten when the eight o’clock car arrived and the chaperones insisted that the party was over. In February this year the Kelmscott girls were enteriained at a Valentine Tea bv Miss Hyde, Miss Blake and Miss Campbell at the latter’s apartment on Mayfield road.

PERKINS 1917 All of the accomplishments of the Scarabaean Society in the past year are too numerous to be mentioned here. However, the club has been successful and has accomplished its purpose, which is to better the literary accomplishments of its members. The club is proud of its leadership as a literary club in many ways. Three of its members are on the Scarab board, three are members of the Annual board, and four made the debating team. The year saw many pleasant gatherings in a social way. Probably the most prominent of these was a banquet at the end of the fall term. “A high old time” does not nearly express the memories of that banquet. Hereafter the club intends to have a banquet at the end of each term. A wiener roast, a theatre party, and a party in the Annex were also happenings that will linger in the minds of all who were present. The club as a whole wishes to express its gratitude for the advice of its faculty members. All in all, the Scarabaean Society has just completed its most successful year, and is ready for a flying start next semester. FALL TERM OFFICERS SPRING TERM Wm.

OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE AGRICULTURAL CLUB THE JUNE BUG 111 THE AGRICULTURAL CLUB MILDRED BROWNE 1916 Agriculture was first introduced in East Tech two years ago. The department then occupied a part of the physics room. Last May, however, Mr. Jones submitted apian to the Board of Education, asking for a greenhouse which was soon accepted and work begun soon after. During last summer the greenhouse, costing six-thousand dollars, wascompleted and equipped with steam heating and artificial lighting system. The greenhouse is divided into three sections, the first being used as a laboratory and lecture room, while the other two sections, are devoted to greenhouse plants and propogating beds. Last October members of the Agriculture Class decided to organize. At the first meeting, officers were elected and a constitution drawn up. The membership was limited to agriculture students and ex-students. The club now numbers about forty, while the total enrollment is about forty-fi ve. The purpose of the club is to promote agriculture interests, and to assist in obtaining employment for its members. Many of our graduates, who have taken this course, are continuing it at the Ohio State University. The club has enjoyed many good times; one in particular, a barbecue held on the school lot, the pig and chicken being roasted in true Indian style, while toasting marshmallows and apples helped while away the time. About nine o’clock tne feast was taken to the greenhouse, and Mr. Jones, in white coatand apron,served the “Aggies,’’—accompanied by—“Say,how much more do you want?” or “Here’s a fine piece, its only charred on one side,” or “Here fellows, let each of the girls get a piece of chicken, before you grab it.” After much feasting, the remainder of the evening was spent in games. The agricultural course of East Tech is considered the best in the state. It includes trips to Warrensville farm, Cleveland Provision Company, commission houses, stock farms, market house, auction sales and many other trips that have a connection with agricultural work. The course is not entirely devoted to work in the school-greenhouse. Through Mr. Jones, the boys have been given work, for which they have been fitted by knowledge acquired in the agricultural course in trimming orchards, spraying trees, planting shrubbery, care of city gardens, planting trees, picking fruit, etc., for outside patrons for which they received payment. We now feel, that the course is well established and will not only bring big results to those actively engaged in the work, but will be of some benefit to the city of Cleveland as a whole.

No orchestra can improve very much unless all members attend rehearsals regularly. No matter how advanced the individuals may be, team work is needed. Under Mr. Vickerman’s care this team work has been attained. He is not only a good teacher but a man of great musical ability. Through his ability and perseverance, we have been able to play such numbers as “William Tell” by Rossini, “American Patrol” by Meacham, “Bridal Rose” by Lavallee, “Pique Dame,” by Suppe and many of Strauss’ famous waltzes. Although there are no Mischa Elmans, Paderewskis, Kubelicks, or such well known men in our orchestra, we have played those numbers satisfactorily. People who have heard the orchestra, go away saying that it is the best high school orchestra they have ever heard. MEMBERS Conductor, J. W. Vickerman. Piano, Maijorie Miles.

OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE ENGINEERS SOCIETY THE JUNE BUG 115 THE ENGINEERS SOCIETY RALPH SWEENEY 1916 At the beginning of the second semester a club was formed among some of the boys in Machine Shop. The object was to promote the interests of the boys in the shops; to discuss and solve various engineering problems which might arise and to help the beginner. An Automobile Question Box was placed in room 19, and the questions proposed were answered at the club meetings. Trips were taken to the large manufacturing plants of the city and engines and machinery were looked over and their merits discussed at the meetings following the trip.

ELMER WILFORD 1916 The Gargoyle Architectural Club was organized in the first month of the spring term of nineteen hundred and sixteen. The purpose of the club is to create a greater interest in architectural drawing by taking field tripsand havingmen whoare interested in architectural work speak upon that subject to the members of the club. It will bring the students who specialize in architectural drawing closer together and broaden their knowledge in that line of work thusmakingthem more efficient and promoting an interchange of ideas. The movement seems to be a success, as out of the thirty-four who are specializing in architectural drawing, over sixty percent have joined the club and it is expected that nearly all the others will join soon. Addresses given by men and students who are well posted upon architectural topics make the meetings interesting as well as instructive. R. W. Hill, the instructor in architectural drawing acts as faculty member of the club. OFFICERS E. F. Blazewski.... President R. Zmudzinski ............................ .....Vice President E.

OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF DER CHEMISCHE VEREIN THE JUNE BUG 119 “DER CHEMISCHE VEREIN” CLARENCE UNTERZUBER 1916 The close of the year 1916 finds “Der Chemische Verein” firmly established in the activities of East Tech school life. It was quite late in the semester before the club was organized but when it did get started, things went off in grand style and there seemed to be a general disposition among the members to raise it to a high standard. The purpose of the club is to promote a stronger feeling of fellowship among the advanced students in chemistry. During the semester we enjoyed some fine programs given by the members of the club. We were also addressed by several well known Cleveland chemists. Probably the chief reason for the success achieved was that the members harmonized in everything and when a resolution was up, it was carried out with great zeal and enthusiasm. Eut if it had not been for the unceasing efforts of Mr. Whitman, in promoting the interests of the club and in securing speakers, the organization would not mean to us what it does.

It was organized last spring by some of the senior girls with Miss Matchett as leader The aim of the club is to afford healthy, out-of-door recreation for its members. Even though the membership is small it does not lack in interest, and many a delightful excursion has been enjoyed, the most successful of which was a trip to Bedford Glens, from which we returned tired but rightfully proud of our achievement, and thus encouraged, have planned other equally interesting trips. It has also been decided to enlarge the scope of our interest to include school athletics—especially football,—and henceforth the members will “hike” to the games and in this way show their loyalty to the brown and gold. Any senior girl is eligible for membership in this Club and we trust that many others will avail themselves of the many helpful opportunities it affords. OFFICERS Bessie Crane___ .

Here a number of girls interested in crocheting meet and most of them, even the “left handers” are taking pleasure and pride in the old fashioned hand work and are becoming quite expert in the art. The uses to which they have put their finished pieces are many: some adorn the girls’ wearing apparel, some are for Christmas gifts, and some (whisper it) have even gone to the bottom of dower chests.

THE JUNE BUG 121 THE WELFARE CLUB TELSA GLUECK 1916 One of the school clubs that has flourished greatly during the past year is the Welfare Club. This organization is but two years old, and altho little was heard of it the first year, this year has made up for it. All the girls in East Tech are eligible. The object of the Welfare Club is to promote the general welfare of the school. The society has proved this in different ways. Undoubtedly you have noticed the large mirrors in the washrooms and the unusual supply of paper towels and of soap. Certainly everyone remembers ’’Clean-up-Day,” when the home room period was lengthened to thirty minutes in order to give teachers and pupils a chance to clean out lockers, desks and cupboards. The Welfare Club is to a certain extent, responsible for all of these improvements. But, this is not all that this organization has been doing. The members have visited different institutions belongingtothecity which promote its welfare. In this way, the girls gain new ideas in welfare work. This plan has not yet been carried out to a great extent, but the members expect to do more of this kind of work in the future. There is also a social function to this society for, “Too much work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.” Various spreads have afforded recreation for the members. The members of the welfare Club unanimously agreed that the work of this organization has been both interesting and instructive and they sincerely hope that the future work of this society will prove of even greater advantage than the past. OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE SCARAB BOARD THE JUNE BUG 123 THE SCARAB BOARD GEORGE APPEL JR. 1916 With the May number, the Scarab board of 1915 shuts up shop and get a chance to take stock and see what it has done. On the whole, it is fairly well satisfied with its accomplishments. While the Scarab was not conspicuously better this year than other years, at least there has been no retrogression and the board even flatters itself that there has been a slight progress in some ways. This is highly commendatory when some of the difficulties faced are considered. We suffered some great losses. Deisher went totheannual,Drechslergraduated, Ivy Deibel left school, the jokes editor left school, also three successive business managers. With the personel of the board thus constantly changing it has been altogether difficult to even keep to former standards. In spite of all this, however, we flatter ourselves that our Scarabs have had some literary merit, and it is, we think, certain that the addition of a staff photographer with the resulting large increase of half tone cuts, has done much to add interest to the magazine. The main number, the combination junior-senior number, is, by the way, of unprecedented length, 36 pages. SCARAB BOARD Editor-in-Chief.................................. .George L.

Ralph Sweeney Harry Schroeder COACH AND MEMBERS OF THE DEBATING TEAM THE JUNE BUG 127 THE DEBATING TEAM W. J. PERKINS 1917 Notwithstanding the fact that East Tech is notan academic school, it put the kybosh on its two academic opponents of the year. Central, our natural rival, so as to speak, got the first dose; it was a bitter one, and they took it with a gulp. It was a preparedness question and they called us Bryan and Roosevelt in the same breath. William Lohrey, John Shepheard, Melvin Newman, and Morton Friedman did the dirty work. The West debate furnished an excellent opportunity for the team to practice oratory. The question concerned the abolition of the Monroe Doctrine with a defensive alliance as a substitute for it. The execution was short and snappy. The slaughterers were;—John Shepheard, William Lohrey, Robert Heinz and Willard Perkins. Very little bloodshed marked the scene. The gain in the popularity of debating was evident last year. Twenty-eight enthusiasts tried out for the team. It might be added that Mr. Collins’s IIB classes enjoyed both debates immensely. The team expresses its appreciation of the work of Mr. Collins, because he was the man behind the gun. 1 128 THE JUNE BUG THE JUNE BUG 129 THE FOOTBALL SEASON CARL GEHRING 1916 The football season of 1915 opened with an extremely bright outlook, as the team began its work with seven veterans, namely Captain McCune, Bad-ke. Yerian. Hill, Pike, Britton, and Parkington. Coach Gibson also had a wealth of good second string men and new material with which to pick from, for the four remaining varsity positions and for substitute work. During the second week of school, football enthusiam attained its highest pitch when, with this splendid outlook, it was announced that Tech would meet Lakewood on the following Saturday, Sept. 25, on Lakewood field. In this game Coach Gibson had his men arranged in a new lineup, with Hill, the 1914 halfback at left tackle, Badke at center, and Yerian at right end. Captain McCune was unable to enter the game on account of an injury sustained in practice. This was the only game of the season that we lost, the score being 16-0. It was an extremely warm day for a football game, and Lakewood’s superior weight and wonderful interference, were important factors in their surprising ability to push the highly touted East Tech eleven back. Tech could do but very little on offense, being saved from having a touchdown scored on them at the end of the first half when time was up with Lakewood on our five yard line. However the defeat undoubtedly did the team a lot of good, putting fight and determination into them that did not fail them for the rest of the season. In this game Albert injured his leg and was unable to get back into the lineup until late in the season. His place at right halfback was taken by Hill, Badke going back to left tackle, Yerian to center and Blazewski to right end. McCune got back into the lineup at left end on the following Monday, and the squad settled down to practice in earnest, in preparation for the first senate game with East High. The game with East High was hotly contested, and the final score, one of which every Techite feels proud, was Tech 2, and East a goose egg. One week later we defeated the Lincoln High team 28-0. In the first quarter O’Donnell went through for the first touchdown after three minutes of play. During the second and third quarters, Lincoln fought fiercely whenever their goal was in danger, keeping Tech from scoring in these periods. But in the fourth quarter the team smashed the Lincolnites back for three more touchdowns, the last one being scored in the last half minute of play. A great deal of shifting was done during the game and Parr, getting into the backfield in the last quarter, showed up very well, scoring the final touchdown on an eight yard line buck. Our fourth game was with Glenville and a more interesting game was anticipated, as that team had two weeks previous decisively defeated Lincoln High 6-0 on a very muddy field, which accounts for Glenville’s low score. But the game proved too easy to be interesting, the final score being 33-6. The game was featured by a brilliant run by Meyers, the Glenville quarter, who upon catching a punt on his own fifteen yard line, ran eighty-five yards through the whole Tech team for a touchdown. On the week following, the team, accompanied by about fifty rooters traveled to Oberlin in a special car furnished by the Cleveland and South- THE JUNE BUG 131 western to engage Oberlin Academy on their gridiron. As Julius Caesar had done about 2000 years ago, so did our football team on October 23. “They came, they saw, they conquered.” The final score was 13-0, Tech getting a touchdown in the first quarter and crossing Oberlin’s goal line again in the final period. West High was next on our schedule and it was on Saturday at West Tech field, that the team made its first appearance in its new blankets. The blue and white was brushed out of our road to the championship, to the tune of 27-3, Hill scoring three touchdowns in the first half and Pike bucking over the line for a fourth touchdown in the third quarter. In the final period West executed a clever forward pass for thirty yards, getting dangerously near to our goal line. But gaining on the next three downs, Somers, the West right half, stepped back and kicked a pretty field goal from the 20 yard line. The contest with West Tech was a terrific battle, the game being won for us in the first period when O’Donnell made a nice place kick from their 30 yard line. Later in the same period the team worked the ball to West Tech’s four yard line, but was unable to get more than two yards nearer to the goal in the next four downs. South was simply overwhelmed by the attack of the engineers, the latter scoring 16 touchdowns and kicking 13 goals from touchdown for a total of 109 points. Cameron, who occupied Pike’s position at quarter during this game, featured the contest with two long runs, each for a touchdown. Saturday arrived, cold and rainy and with a stiff west wind blowing. But by 2 p. m. Shaw field was packed with humanity numbering 3,500, a good 3 of which represented the brown and gold of Tech. At the eleventh hour Hill had returned to the colors, though rather weakened by his stay in bed. During the first quarter Central rushed to Tech's twenty five yard line, but being unable to smash in any nearer they had Kohn attempt a drop kick. The ball went wide and it was Tech’s ball on their own twenty yard line. The engineers took the offensive with a vengeance. Hill, getting 20 yards right through the line on the first play. This advance went right on in the second period until we lost the ball on their one yard line. Central punted and Tech advanced to within one half of a yard of the goal. Pike went over for a touchdown on the next play. McCune failed goal at a difficult angle. No more scoring was done until the fourth quarter when McCune stepped back and made a pretty place-kick from the 15 yard line. This 9 toO victory gave us the Senate Championship with a clear victory and no defeats. Central left no room for alabis, Tech outplaying them 10-3 in thematter of first downs. In the third quarter Blue, kicking with the tide, got off a punt that netted 80 yds. This great kick aided Tech materially in getting their field goal in the fourth quarter and was a feature of our victory. The prospects for next fall are more than sanguine. With Mr. Gibson as coach, Walter Pike as captain, Robert Boyce as manager, we have a trio, that would be hard to beat. Moreover we expect six varsity men backinclud-ingCaptain Pike, Fahey, Balough, Blue,Parr, and Henry, and a very good second team to draw from including such men as Bartek,Cobbledick,Merrick, Fowler, Clifford Hill, Denzer, Carver, and Block. THE JUNE BUG 133 OUR SECOND FOOTBALL TEAM ROBERT E. LUNDBERG 1916 The second team’s most important duty was to scrimmage against the “Varsity”and to get them in condition for the games by taking lots of mauling, bumps, jeers and after all by being called “scrubs.” It is the training school for the varsity and although the players don’t receive much glory, they make possible the victories for East Tech and they have a future coming when they may graduate into the varsity. Our season opened at Bedford and the heavy Bedford varsity was held to a scoreless, 0-0, on a slippery field of mud. The next game was with Shaw High seconds who drew the long end of the score, 27-0. The third game found the East scrubs our rivals and we duplicated the varsity’s feat by trouncing them, 6-0. Glenville’s scrubs were our next victims and they were walloped, 6-0 also. Willoughby’s highly touted varsity were our opponents, and they were taken into our camp to the tune of, 27-0. The game with Euclid Heights came next, and they fell in line for Tech spirit prevailed and our boys won handily, 33-0. The final game was with the U. S. scrubs and although we were heavily outweighed, the contest was even and not decided until the last half minute of play when an intercepted forward pass brought a touchdown for U. S., turning the tide. Score U. S. 7, Tech 0. Our season was more than fair and the boys made a creditable showing, thanks to the efforts of Coach Link whose services everyone feels grateful for. MEMBERS Mr. Link, Coach; George Morse, Captain; Clarence Bliss, Harry Bral, Orlen Becksted, Gordon Cobbledick, Peter Corso, Leon Disinger, Howard Eld-ridge, Maurice Fowler, Herbert Herbel, Howard Kirby, George Knoll, Chas. Lewis, Robert Lundberg, Emanuel Matyas, Louis Newman, Dwight Palmer, Meyer Rosen, Livingston Rumzie, Vaughn Schaub, Leonard Snyder, Stanley Speed, Charles Lemr, Arthur Suchy, Sheldon Yerian. THE FRESHMAN FOOTBALL TEAM RODNEY RANKIN 1918 When the freshman football team first started out last fall they played like a bunch of “raw recruits” but they worked faithfully under the direction of Mr. Littlefield, the coach, and the first game, which was played with the boys from the Epworth Memorial Church, ended in a 6 to 6 tie but the next game which was played with East High freshmen ended 20 to 3 in our favor. The next two games were easy ones for our team, beating South High freshmen 49 to 0 and U. S. freshmen 20 to 6. But the last game proved the hardest one of the season—the game with the West Tech freshmen. It was played on a very muddy field on a cold day, but both teams played well, and the game ended in a 7 to 7 tie. In all the games Clifford Hill, the captain, was the star although the whole team played well, and much credit must also go to Mr. Littlefield for the coaching he did. THE JUNE BUG 135 THE 1916 BASKETBALL TEAM WALTER L. PIKE This year’s basketball team, while not quite so fortunate as to enjoy the success of last fall’s football eleven, should nevertheless be given much credit for the brand of ball which they presented to the rooters. Coach Gibson started to build up his team with Frank Badke as the only veteran of last year’s team. He had a hard task before him, and thanks to Cameron, Hogue, Yerian, Gregory. Bennett and a hustling second team, he had a bunch of good hard workers to help him out. The team came along nicely the first part of the season, winning from East Commerce, Loyola and West, and by the time we hit East High, our famous rivals, the boys were working so smoothly that they more than once gave us visions of the famous old Kohl-Conaghan-Steffan combination. After a terrific battle in East High’s own gym, the final whistle of the big game blew with East Tech on the long end of a rather close score. A good deal of the credit for this victory should be given to Frank B dke. The wonderful ability which he displayed in this contest undoubtedly stamps him as one of the best guards that has ever donned a brown and gold uniform. This game also happened to be Frank’s last athletic appearance on an East Tech team. It places a most appropriate finishing touch on his highly successful career during the three years he was here. He has played a splendid, consistent game at tackle on the football team for two years, has been an invaluable member of the basketball team for the same lenghth of time, and he has always been a high point winner in all swimming events for the past three seasons. Altogether he has earned and received seven varsity “letters” and a ring. We take the liberty of hailing him as the best all around athlete since the days of George Kohl. Badke’s graduation in February put quite a kink in the team play which Coach Gibson had developed, and partly as a result of this, we lost a really honest-to-goodness tough luck game to West Tech by one lone point, this by the way, was the only thing which kept us from having a clear claim to second place in the Senate percentage column. In our next game, Central proceeded to give us a taste of their championship form, and incidentally we might mention that this taste proved to be quite a mouthful, as all who attended will testify. Following this defeat, the boys braced and finished the season in fine style winning from South, Glenville, Commerce and Lincoln in the order named. This last spurt was due in quite a large measure to the work of A1 Henry, who joined the squad after February. To sum up we want to congratulate and thank Coach Gibson, the two captains, Frank Badke and Jake Cameron, and all members of the varsity and second team for the excellent representation which we had on the floor this winter. THE JUNE BUG 137 THE SWIMMING TEAM GILBERT BUDWJG Our swimming team went through their regular season with anything but bright prospects, as practically all of the star men were out, through ineligibility for various reasons. Gilbert Budwig, who is slated as the city’s champion diver, was born too early in the nineties to come under the age limit of twenty years. The most esteemed Mr. Frost found this out on the day before the big meet. W. Weinstein, interscholastic champion plunger, who has come very close to the state record, was found ineligible. D. M. Williamson, who was a diving partner to Budwig and a crack speed man was out for not completing his last semester’s work. Nevertheless, with all this hard luck of crippled condition we came within one point of winning the East End “Y” meet, took a good second in the interscholastic meet, but were ducked to a third place, for the first time, in the University meet. The team as a whole deserves a great deal of credit, for their exceptionally good work, as they were not figured to cause a ripple in interscholastic circles, and in the end came out as the runner up of the big splash after all. THE TENNIS TEAM RALPH QUINLAN 1916 The tennis team of 1915 although not having a successful season was far from a failure. The team had one out of town game with Oberlin, and it is hoped to be able to secure more next season. A large number of students entered the school tournament which was again won by A. Beckerle. One of the most consistent players last season was Milton Mooney, who did not lose one match during the entire season. This term an interscholastic tennis league was formed, this being the first attempt to make tennis a major sport. There were ten teams entered and as there was not enough time to have each school play the other, two separate divisions were formed. The winner of one division will play the winner of the other for the championship of the schools. MEMBERS A. Beckerle, H. Byram, E. Schultz, R. Quinlan and H. Quinlan, 1915. D. Curtis, M. Mooney, J. Marshall and R. Quinlan, 1916. OFFICERS AND MEMBERS OF THE TRACK TEAM THE JUNE BUG 139 THE 1915 TRACK TEAM CARL R. ANDERSON 1916 The 1915 track team was coached by Mr. Gibson, managed by Mr. Frost, Faculty; and Chester Lowe, Student; and consisted of the following; Bennett, Captain; Burke, Cukr, Blazewski, Schonmeyer, Anderson, Parkington, Kirby, Crass, Hathaway, Jacobs and Gould. The first outdoor meet of the season was the Second Annual Dual Meet held at West Tech Field, May 15,1915, was won by East Tech, with 77 points, while West Tech made 58 points. East Tech also won the freshmen events of this meet, with 56 points, to West Tech, 25. The Glenville-East Tech meetheld at West TechField, May22,1915proved to be a stumbling block for the East Tech boys, Glen ville winning with 79 points, to our 57, The Central-East Tech meet held at West Tech Field, May 31, 1915, was “easy picking”, for the East Tech boys and resulted in their picking up 92$ points to their opponents 43$ points. The freshman events of this meet resulted in a tie, East Tech making 11 points and Central 11. The sixth Annual Interscholastic meet was held June 15,1915 on West Tech field. The meet was won by Glenville with 49 points, East Tech taking second with 40 points, East 33, West Tech 31, Central 17, Lincoln 14, West 10, South 10, Commerce 3. This was one of the fastest and most keenly competed Interscholastic meets ever held in Cleveland, six records being broken, one of them, the pole vault by Dudley Bennet, East Tech’s star and captain, by clearing the bar at 11 feet. The freshman events were won by East with 41 points: East Tech was second with 24 points; West Tech 23; West 21; Central 10; South 6; Glenville 2. EAST TECH BEE HIVE GEORGE A. J.

President Geraldine Scherer____________________________________ VicePresident John Melstrom ____________________________________________ Secretary Francis Sykora ......................................... ..Treasurer GIRL'S JUNIOR CHAMPIONSHIP Remember the prophecy made by the Sophomore Girls’ Basketball Team last year? The prophecy was made by the captain of the team. Florence Miller.better known as Tot.’ who now lives in Florida. This prophecy came true in 1916. The prophecy was that the same team would win the Junior championship the following year—and they did. Merely a handful of girls came down to cheer the girls on but those who came showed plenty of “pep. The only change in the sophomore year was in Vera Schaefer taking the place of Florence Miller as captain. Vera’s place being filled by Hazel Shatto, the only new member on the team. Altho’ a new member on the team, she filled her place well and played every game. Every girl on the team played every game as she never played before, for the prophecy of the past year was ringing in her ears. The game had an exciting ending. The score stood at 7 to 7. The sophs and the juniors each had a foul! Which side would make it? Miss Chapman held up her hand,silence reigned in the gym. breaths were held, the sophs shot their foul first, the ball curved and refused to go in; then a grand shout rose up from the juniors. Agnes Mathias then shot the foul on the Junior’s side —and the ball dropped thru the basket amid the cheers of the juniors making the score 8-7. It is not necessary to tell how happy the junior team was. Don’t you really think now that these girls deserve your praise after winning two consecutive championship? Here’s hoping they do it again next year! —Geraldine Scherer THE JUNE BUG 143 HOME ROOM BASKETBALL MARVEL SEBERT Nineteen home rooms were represented in the girls, home room basket ball games this year. From all of these teams crawled 6, 208, 414, 303, and 309. The final game between 303 and 6 proved highly exciting for all present, even though it was only a girls, game. The game ended with the score 13 to 7 in 6’s favor. Room 6 will be given a framed banner that is being designed and made by Tech students. This may be kept only one year; permanently if won three years in succession. GIRLS’ CLASS GAMES Nine games had to be played this year in order to determine the winner of the class games. The seniors, juniors and sophomores tied, and after playing the second time the juniors won from the sophomores with the score of 6 to 5 and the sophs won from the seniors with the score 8 to 7. Those on the winning team were: Vera Schaefer, captain, Agnes Matthias, Hazel Shatto, Isabel Turner, June Ackroyd, Irma Walkersdorfer and Margret Wagenhals. GIRLS’ TRACK EVENTS Agnes Matthias of 303 made 87i points in the track events. She broke three records, basket ball throw, 63 feet and 1 inch; high jump, 4 feet and 5 inches. The winners in the events were as follows; D. Miller, potato race, 23 seconds; Matthias, broad jump, 6 feet, lli inches; Matthias, shot put, 24 feet, 11 inches; Anderson and Christopher, bull’s eye in accuracy throw; Bogges, Williams, Wagenhals, 50 yard dash, 74 seconds. FEMININE FACULTY TEAM One of the things of interest seen in the gym this year was a feminine faculty basketball team. On this were the following teachers: MissOestemyer, Miss Schweitzer, Miss Chapman, Miss Baker, Miss Edwards, Miss Morgan and Miss Holden. One of the games they played was with the gym team. The score was 7 to 6 in the gym team’s favor. THE JUNE BUG 145 BASKETBALL CHAMPIONSHIP ESPER GREGORY 1916 The Home Room Basketball Championship was won by room 213, which as everyone knows, is Mr. Hoornstra’s room. Some people are superstitious about the 13 part of it but the boys in the room consider it lucky. In 1913 and 1914 they took a flying start in the basketball tournament by winning the first few games but old man hard luck had his way and they lost each year by one point. Then another page was turned in 1915 which showed a team composed mostly of seniors, who had played together for three years, and who were graduates of Doan school and still had the Doan spirit in them. Once more they took a flying start by winning the first three games easily, but while they were still flying, the “2” of “213” came to life, taking two of their men. But at thiscrucial point the team was greatly strengthened by the addition of Roger McCune, so that the remaining games and the championship were won with comparative ease. The team played about the best basketball and team-work of any in the league, although the others showed up very well. The team lined up as follows; Gregory, R. F.; Melstrom, L. F.; Bloss, C.; McCune,R.G.; Grigsby, L.G.; and substitutes, Johnson,Zornow and Weldele. HOME ROOM BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP SALVATOR DkMARIORIBUS Fromthevery beginningof the intramural baseball league of East Technical High School, home room 207 has had a reputation for baseball spirit. In the spring of 1915, 207 had enough players to form two teams, and enough loyal rooters to outnumber those of any other home room. The team as a whole was excellent on both offensive and defensive. With Walter Kohn and Frank Hogue clouting the ball at will, and the invisible shoots delivered by Kohl to the opposing batteries, the qualifying teams were simply stunned. With this kind of a team home room 207 just walked away with the championship. Although there were a few close contests, 207 was never in danger of losing, except in the second game of the final series with 113. The score was eight to six in favor of 113 after the first half of the last inning. With 20” on the offensive the first two of the batters fell before the offerings of the opposing pitcher. The next batter singled while the fourth took first base after being hit by a pitched ball. With two on base, Walter Kohn, the next batter, clouted one of the pitchers generous offerings for a ride over the left fielder’s head and took four bases. The game ended right here with 207 on the long end of the score and the second championship in their hands. The coming season witnesses 207 with the same spirit and as good a bunch of ball players as the preceding years and all I advise the other Home Room teams is to watch out and keep an eye on 207. Prophesy not fulfilled. 146 THE JUNE BUG HOME ROOM CHAMPIONS The following are the members of the 1915 basketball championship team;— Roger McCune, Robert Bloss, Howard Grigsby, Clemens Weldele, Harry Zor-now, Esper Gregory, Captain; and John Melstrom G.

WON BY EAST TECH THE JUNE BUG 151 A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM ROBERT LUCAS 1916 The English department participated in the world-wide celebration of the tercentenary anniversary of the birth of William Shakespeare, by presenting A Midsummer Night’s Dream,” on the evenings of April 28th and 29th, in the school auditorium. No such successful production has ever been presented on the East Tech stage measured from whatever standard you please. Both nights every seat was taken, the aisles and the back of the auditorium werecrowded with people standing, and hundreds were turned away from the doors. It would have been an easy matter to crowd the room two more nights, had it been possible to get permission for the performances. None of those present will ever forget the rich beauty of the stage pictures—the great hall of the Duke, and the vistas of moonlit woodland where the fairies danced in their mystic rings. Fitting harmoniously into the color scheme were the gorgeous costumes of the actors. Where everyone did so well it is impossible to single out any one performer for special praise. Josephine Barker as Hermia, Louise Holtz as Helena, “Red” Rollins as Bottom, Allen as Lysander, Morris as Demetrius, Green-shields as Puck, Telsa Glueck asTitania, and O'Brien asOberon, were brought into special prominence by reason of the importance of the parts they played, but every one of the players got the most out of his part. The dancing, for which Mr. Kern had trained the “fairies” long and carefully, was a particularly enjoyable feature. One enthusiastic college professor said after the Friday performance that it was the best Midsummer Night’s Dream he hadeverseen, amateur or professional. The success of the play was a result of the co-operation of the different departments of the school. Miss McKitrick, head of the English department, placed the management of the play in the hands of Miss Gilchrist, who proved a very good stage manageress. The teachers and girls of the sewing classes spent much time designing and making the costumes. The scenery was painted by the best artists, who worked night and day with Mr. Kennedy. Mr. Freeman and his electrical fellows deserve much praise for the lighting effects. The music played by the school orchestra was Mendelsohn’s “Midsummer Night’s Dream.” The proceeds of the play are to be used to purchase a grand piano for the auditorium. A freshman stood on a burning deck, But as far as we could learn, He stood in perfect safety; He was too green to burn. 152 THE JUNE BUG THE EAST TECH ANNEX GFO. L. APPEL JR. Mr. Barker has been somewhat like the old woman who lived in a shoe, ever since East Tech began. While he hasn’t had so many children, he didn’t know what to do, for doing something is his strong characteristic, he has most of the time had so many children he didn’t know where to put ’em. When the building first began to be crowded, West Tech was built, taking some several hundred pupils. This helped a great deal, but during the spring of 1915, a hurry up call was sounded for more room. We got it in the Annex, and lost thereby some three hundred perfectly good freshman girls and with them Miss McKitrick. It was feared at first that the rumor that the junior girls were going there would turn out true, a possibility which filled us all with dreadful anxiety. But definite knowledge quieted our fears. We can stand to lose the freshies but the loss of the juniors would be irreparable. When this haven of refuge for ex-grammar school girls was opened last September there was an immediate rush of seniors and juniors of the trouser wearing gender, to lamp off the new freshies. These youngbloods were immediately and vigorously shooed out. We were given destinctly to understand that males were persona non grata. However, an invitation was extended to the Scarab to send a representative to write them up. The writer having then temporarily something to say in Scarab matters, and not desiring to miss anything good went himself. What he saw will be briefly separated. The large part of the main floor is occupied by the auditorium now used as a study hall. Besides this are Miss McKitrick’s office, three classrooms and a cloak room. The most noticeable thing about the auditorium was the benign countenances of several frescoed German composers who watch the girls closely from the walls. If I studied there, I should be afraid to whisper for fear of offending one of them and having his face crack from trying to frown. Upstairs, there are the domestic science department with the most modern equipment, another classroom, and an art and sewing room combined. The second floor also gives entrance to the balcony of the auditorium, the third floor is vacant but can be remodeled and used for school purposes. The basement harbors a pleasant, well-lighted lunchroom, and a dinky gym. What else, was sealed to the writer. The girls of both buildings hold parties here, having, we are told, a glorious time without the boys. At noon of every day there is dancing in the auditorium. It is altogether a grand thing for the girls. At best, with remodelling, it cannot receiye more than 400, and East Tech is constantly growing. What we really need is either a new Tech or an extensive addition to the present building. You who graduate may be able to help, it is your duty to boost. THE JUNE BUG 153 Mr. Lawrence—Say,Parker, what do you expect to be when you become of age? Parker—Twenty-one, Mr. Lawrence. Mr. Blaisdell in I B English—Weil, how were the actors in the Elizabethan theater dressed? Weil—Well, there was hardly any scenery. Edna Fay—Mother; isn’t it funny? Mother—What, dear? Edna—Well, today will be yesterday tomorrow. Mathille B.—Will an apple tree grow from the seed I planted? Prof. Jones (East Tech)—Certainly. Mathille—That’s funny. Prof. Jones—Why? Mathille—Because it was an orange seed. Prof. Freeman’s hair dye will grow red hair from black. The Scarabaean’s favorite banquet toast is olives. (See Deisher.) We feel safe to say that Stanley Speed doesn’t live up to his name. We feel sure that if Shakespeare were living Miss Elmer would be his wife. Someday when you get time,ask the Baron what his duties are as fifth assistant principal. The health officers who would prevent osculations evidently don’t indulge in the sport. Freshmen are requested hereafter to see Mr. Horkan before speaking to “Mike” in the foundry. Appel says he likes a brass band better than a phonograph because a brass band runs out of wind. Mr. Frost (In Aud.)—Those teachers who haven’t all their buttons come to me and I will give them some. 154 THE JUNE BUG We wonder what kind of announcements Blazewski is going to order. Mr. Matthews—Well, Miller what’s your excuse today? R. W. J. M.—She’s not an excuse, she's some kid. Parker—Why didn’t you laugh at Vic’s joke, Sharkey? Riddell—I’m graduating in June. Mr. Burroughs—Every time my baby looks into my face he smiles. Mr. Hoonstra—That shows he has a little sense of humor. Mr. Wooden—Say, I’ve just invested in a hair brush. Vic.—Then I think I’ll go buy a go cart. Simon—People say I ought to go to Europe to sing. Mr. Vickerman—I'd suggest Africa—it’s further away. When asked how he had enjoyed the banana in which a pill was concealed, little Artie answered; “Fine,mamma. I ate all but the seed.” Mr. Webster—Your hands are dirty. What did you wash them in? Maurice Fowler—In a hurry! Buy chokem's collars. Agents—Appel, Froehlich.Kumler, Heintz, Schaub, and Ruecke. Harrison—Luella, what is the future of I love?” Luella—Marriage, and then divorce, I guess. Marriage is like an auto. It travels with a series of explosions and is started by sparking. Benjamin Franklin wouldn’t have been much of a fighter. He’s always getting licked. (On postage stamps of course.) W. Perkins—What do you call a man who runs an auto? Heintz - It depends on how near he comes to hitting me. Shattuck— Can you tell me what doggerel is? Quinlan- Certainly. It’s advertising matter written for a sausage concern. Papa—This staying out late won’t do. Late suppers are too expensive. Boggs—All right, dad. I’ll stay out later and make it an early breakfast. Hruby (In balcony)—What would you do, dear, if you were in my shoes? Marjorie M.- I’d get lost, I guess. Editors1 note—We’re certain she would. Miss Blake to Mr. Adell—Were you ever disappointed in love, Mr. Adell? Mr.Adell—I certainly was. Miss Blake—Did the girl jilt you? Mr. Adell—No, sad to say, I married her. Miss Schultz—By freezing tuberculosis germs you cannot kill them, but extreme heat will. V. Young—Is that why they send people with tuberculosis down south? Telsa—I declare, Jo, what on earth made you laugh so at that speaker’s jokes in the auditorium this morning? I thought they were pretty stale? Jo B.—Yes. I did too. But say,—weren’t his gestures a scream? THE JUNE BUG 155 TO GRIGSBY CO., Ltd.

A ROSEBUD 1 found a tiny rosebud, As I searched a garden fair; It made me think of you, love. In its beauty sweet and rare. I pressed it to my lips, dear, In love and tenderness; How like the rose are you, dear, So sweet, so pure, yet best. A thorn has scratched my lip, love, The blood begins to shine; So I think I’ll go into the house, And get the iodine. LOGIC (AS TAUGHT BY MR. COLLINS- ) I love you. (Statement of fact.) Therefore, I am a lover. (First conclusion.) All the world loves a lover. (Universal Truth.) But, you are all the world to me, Therefore, you love me. THERE’S A REASON Our mile-runner Alfred Lost at Youngstown’s meet; Because he had on his mind A girl both small and sweet.

Flat—It has gone up to $1.50 now. Dad (from hall above)—Why; Delight, how dim the light is down there. Her Friend—Ye sir, Mr. Freeman has a theory that brilliant lights benumb the intellect. We are experimenting to find the degree of illumination by which the attention is kept vivid and the mental functions active. Miss Arbuthnot—When you have a headache you should put your feet in cold water. Marie Lemon—If we have the feet-ache, should we put our heads in— (Gasp and much laughter.) Lottie B., to conductor, 7:59 A. M. on 55th Street car—Is this as fast as you can go? Connie—No, Miss, but I must stay with the car. Ellwood Walklet—Who were Shakespeare and Dickens? Georgeappeljr—Oh, they were two great men who lived before you and I. THE JUNE BUG 157 NOTICE TO FLATS As the school is getting smaller every year the social committee of the school in conjunction with the ways and means committee of the Annual has formulated the following rules to aid sociability and homeliness of the place. 1— To show the true spirit of Sisterhood ' all girls should form squads of four, and with arms around each others waists, should mosey along at the rate the street cars do in the morning. 2— Since life is represented as a huge ladder, avail yourselves of the opportunity presented by practising on the stairs. Be sure and pause a sufficient length of time on each step so as to look as natural as possible. 3— The fellows who wish to train for athletics can obtain excellent practice by stationing themselves at room 19, or on the fourth floor, and when the bell rings see who can get the first hot dog at Ma’s. 4— At home everyone doesn’t go up the front stairs and down the back so why should you do it here! It would look much more business-like to be going in all directions at the same time. 5— Train early. There’s nothing like it!! Invite all your friends to have a drink at the fountain between classes. That’s what those new drinking fountains were put there for. Mr. Barker does not believe in too frequent and too excessive indulgence in the flowing bowl which accounts for the absence of water in the watering troughs. 6— To arouse enthusiasm in movies,” why not organize a whistler's and clapper’s club to express the public sentiment to such an extent that all the outsiders would not mistake the verdict 7— We also suggest the placing of signs similar to those found in front of the stores downtown; Nothing allowed to stop here between the hours of eight and four unless giving or receiving compliments,” to relieve congestion around some pretty Jane’s” locker between classes. Ruth Palmer—Oh! Cliff, it is so cold, I would like to have something a-round me. Russell—What would you care to have? Ruth Palmer- Oh, anything. And the poor simp brought her a shawl. Mr. Seymour (To boy in country store)—What have you in the shape of auto tires. Boy (Brightly)- Funeral wreaths, life preservers, invalid cushions, and doughnuts. Mildred Baker— Yours was the only picture I could see at the exhibition.” Grigsby— I appreciate the honor. Mildred B.—“Oh, but I couldn’t see the others for the crowd. She—ALwill you sing ‘Because I Love You?' Al—Sure! What shall I sing? Ruth—Marie told me that you told her that secret I told you not to tell her. Olive—The mean thing! I told her not to tell you I told her. Ruth—Well, I told her I would not tell you she told me, so don’t tell her I told you. 158 THE JUNE BUG It's great to be an editor, And sit up late at night; And scratch your wool, And shoot the bull. And write and write and write. MISDIRECTED ENERGY Arguing with Mr. Barker. Arguing with Mr. Matthews. Arguing with Mr. Durstine. Trying to pass the Baron when going down the end stairs.

Mr. Kinder in LA Math—Bring one or two sheets of graph paper the day of the test. Fowler—In other words, boys, prepare for some graphs on the test. Cliff Kumlar is taking architectural drawing so that when he goes on the stage he can draw large houses.

Tells of fun and frolic, Caught in fashion’s whirl, Thinks no more of poison,— Got another girl.

The sun sinks flaming down the sky; The night is coming long and lone, And here’s the hardest word, goodbye. If I alone could be your guest And sink deep into the night of dreams: But I am off on fortune's quest. To where the brightest city gleams. Your form outlined against the night, Your bright white lights from your door, Will be a vision on my sight Till youth and dreams shall be no more. The farewell I receive of you Goes through me like the stab of steel. Brightest Tech High, I will be true Till life shall break me on its wheel. “OUR COUNTRY” EMIL GREENHALGH Forget your old home country whether Germany, England, or France, But remember you live in a country Where every one has a chance. For war clouds now have gathered there, Perhaps your land of birth, But let this land be free from all; The greatest land on earth. What care you what the nations say; But remember you live in the U. S. A. For you have heard just how it grew So proud, so loyal and yet so true. Tis war we hear the nations say. But think they not of those that pay. For nation, for leader, for wrong, for right Tis they who fight with all their might But if the war should come this way We’d trust to honor and soon obey. We'd march to that old glorious tune And lick them all ere many a moon. 166 THE JUNE BUG The Newman Studio PHOTOGRAPHS Work of Quality 647 Euclid Avenue Both Phones Opposite Taylor Arcade THE JUNE BUG 167 OFFICE PRACTICE DEPARTMENT Your Position is Waiting We supply all the Good Business Houses with their Best office help.
