Foreword For twelve years we have been progressing through the various portals of learning. Sheltered, carefully guided, we have advanced until now we stand at the threshold which marks the end of all that is familiar and certaing one more step, and we shall have passed through the new doorway to the future, ready and eager to explore whatever may lie ahead. We know not what joys, what trials may be dis- closed beyond, but aided by the counsel of our past years, we shall endeavor to lift up our eyes only to those things which shall bring us to a greater realization of that which is worthwhile. Through these portals may be glimpsed the fuller, richer life that stretches on through eternityg may we face it worthy of the trust that has been placed in us by Hamburg High School. 1'- INGRESS ,ALJ si. ol . s' .rya- g. -5 '1 Q n.u awry Beach N!IHl iQ.

Miss Eckhardt, through her conferences with individual students offers valuable advice and helps them solve their seem- ingly unsolvable problems and guides them to the wise choice of the curriculum best suited to their abilities. Her strong belief in student, participation, is ex- emplified by the Junior High Student Council. When a student takes his leave of Junior High, he retains the pleasant mem- ories of the friendly principal who made the journey through that department a pleasant and profitable experience. PORTALS LINTELS w l MISS RGBBINS FRIEND in need is a friend indeed. When a young person embarks upon the ship of knowledge, he finds himself in a strange school amid strange companions. Miss Robbins, the principal of the Grade School, is that friend, doing all in her power to console the 'young knowledge seekers, to smooth the bumpy road of learning. Rul- ing with a firm but gentle hand, she guides the pupils through the six years of elementary edu- cation. Through her competent management, the Grade School has become a beacon of knowl- edge that directs the students to the path of better living, Widely developed character, and higher education. page twenty-seven - ill PoRTALs .+M - Left to Right: Dr. Moffitt, Mr. Stratemeir, Mrs. Beatty, Mrs. Baltzer, Mr. Knack, Mr. Hartman, Mr. Bley, Mr. Clark.

It is they to whom the task of selecting' the superintendent, the principals and the faculty falls. The ever-vigilant members have been very successful in their selections and they might well be for they are very desirous of producing future citizens who know how to live com- patibly with their fellow men, who know how to take a keen delight in worthy home membership, who know how to use leisure time to the best advantage and who will be upright citizens with precisely moulded char- acters. Without their wholehearted cooperation the school would be unable to enjoy the benefits of a well equipped gymnasium, an up-to-date workshop and complete classrooms. By their knowledge of finances they balance the school budget and yearly provide for such advances as seem necessary to keep the school apace with the advancing times. Thus the Board of Education stands always ready to open those doors that will lead to a broader and richer education for the youth of Hamburg. --T- LINTELS lf.---1 page twenty-eight - 1-2 PORTALS i--- - Left to Right: Miss Reynolds, Mr. Dickson, Miss Munsey, Mr. Conklin, Miss Blanchard, Miss Mason, Miss Sullivan, Miss Schuler, Mr. Measer, Miss Donnigan, Miss Eckhardt, Mrs. O'Da.y, Mrs. Niles, Mr. Hannan, Miss Borchart, Mr. Willcer, Miss Cummings, Miss Kavanaugh, Mr. Braun, Mrs. Dominski. Junior High Faculty EAGER and hopeful, students from the grade school arrive at the portals of higher learning, and are greeted by the cheery smiles of the junior high faculty. These teachers lend a guiding hand to direct the students through these doors, and it is through their encouragement and sympathy that soon the boys and girls become useful citizens. The guidance program is carried out in homeroom meetings and class room periods conducted by junior high school teachers who help the new students adapt themselves to the school environment and advise them in a wise choice of a curriculum in both Senior and Junior High Schools. Each teacher also sponsors a club in which the student has an opportunity of choosing an interesting hobby. In these days of increased leisure time, clubs which teach wise utilization of this opportunity perform a valuable service. The junior high faculty does much to establish a precedent for admirable youth and loyal citizens in Hamburg High Schools. ---l LINTELS -T--L page thirty-one - 1- PORTALS -- - Left to Right--TOP ROW: Miss Phillips, Miss Brownell, Miss Longaker, Miss Tillner, Miss Yaeger, Mr. Measer, Miss Riegel, Miss Gressman, Miss Ander- son, Mrs. Robson, Mrs. Mountain.

The Grade School Faculty STEP by step, the pathway to higher education must be painstakingly ascended. If the student should stumble on the first steps, he is apt to fall, farther on in the journey. That is why an intelligent, capable grade faculty is of utmost importance to the final attainment of that universally sought-for goal. i As in music a fundamental tone is necessary for the production of overtones, so, in learning, is fundamental knowledge an absolute necessity for a more technical education. The grade faculty constantly endeavors to implant this primary knowledge in the mind of the pupils. In addition to this they help to mold the character of each individual child, in those vitally important, formative years. So it is that those who will be the juniors and seniors of Hamburg High School in the years to come are given an opportunity to build for the future. -?--?- LINTELS - . page thirty-two - PORTALS -'----- - Left to Right: Miss Mumbach, Miss Blanck, Miss Pierce, Miss Reynolds. Office Secretaries IN the capable hands of the office secretaries rests a large portion of the responsibility for keeping the door to educational opportunities well- oiled. It is their task to assist the high school executives in the work of carrying on school affairs. Included in their duties are keeping attendance accounts, recording scholastic standings and activities, and distributing notices. Besides these each secretary performs special services in connec- tion with the work of her particular department. For instance, in the main office Miss Pierce and Miss Mumbach manipulate the switch board, order text books, and record the meetings of the Board of Education, while Miss Reynolds, of the junior high office plays an important part in the publish- ing of The Scroll. Miss Blanck, occupying the position of secretary in the senior high office, is responsible for personal record cards, and college applications. By their unfailing accuracy and efficiency, the office secre- taries contribute much to the Hamburg school system. ----- LINTELS ------ page thirty-three - -?-E PORTALS E-i CAFETERIA Showing students eating and purchasing food from Mrs. Salisbury and Mrs. Colvin.

By a thorough testing program, pupils are placed in the classes which best meet their individual needs and differentiated courses of English are given. A program of remedial read- ing was introduced last year and the results have been very gratifying.

The foreign language department by making a study not only of the language itself, but also of the history, customs, and present condition of that nation and by encouraging foreign corres- pondence builds a foundation for world peace. In high school where only the fundamentals of a foreign language can be taught, the student secures a glimpse of those doors leading to vast and splendid new realms of literature, art, music, and science which will be unlocked to him after one or two more years of study. 5 K N K .

Before a house can be erected or a mechanical device perfected, accurate scale drawings must be made. Without these arts, architectural and mechanical drafting, industry is left mute and speechless, for is not drafting the language of industry. On the other hand products of the drafts- man's mind and his instruments are worthless unless his theoretical drawings are put into practical applica- tion. In general shop the students convert the figures represented by the blueprints into actual, well-modeled finished products. The structural and mechanical arts are not alone in this field, for printing, the art of graphic representation, must also be mentioned as essential to industrial development. iii- coiuuooias i-i. page forty - ----- PQRTALS - - Left to Right: Carl Lyons, Miss Stall flnstructorh, Herman Miller, Hallie Davis, Eugene Grosjean, Clara McKallip, Russel Hamm, Irene Green, Donald Tillou, Bill Smith, Phyllis Riefler, Walter Ruth, Elizabeth Hyslop, Bob Bradley, Paul Sipprell, Carl Trippe, Peggy Allen, Bryant Tallman, Allen Johnson. Mathematics Department T0 be able to distinguish the relations between lines, ' l ' planes, angles, curves, and circles requires an alert mind trained to View objects in perspective. The teacher with a true appreciation of the realities of life, applies the mathematical principles, incorporated in the textbooks to common-place objectsg thus the student is enabled to apply book learning to the problems faced in his daily living. In the field of mathematics the student finds that he must learn to concentrate all his attention on a problem if he would succeed. Those who have learned to think logically and accurately are sure to find these skills very useful in other branches of learning. Whether it be in the solution of scientific equations, in the formation of mechanical devices, or A in the creation of architectural masterpieces, math- ematics is an indispensable necessity.

Science Department ONLY the true scientist can appreciate the patience and enthusiasm of those students who delve into the mysteries of nature's physical laws and chemical actions. There is always the hope that one may find the meaning of life and existence behind those doors of nature, that may only be opened by those who are willing to give both time and care necessary for investigation. The science department desires to cultivate in the minds of its potential Einsteins the ability to know cause and effect and to use this skill to the greatest advantage. When he has mastered the fundamental rules of scientific thinking, the student then needs to awaken the latent powers within himself and if possible find the combinations to those doors that will enable him to give more material benefits to mankind. mit - ' ' Q -e V- - X X rs ss XX s Q X 5 is s N X X N 5 x X see K Wit it isis t , 5 N X X X X . .

History Department FORMERLY the study of history was centered on C ' political factors such as the record of dynasties, wars and political parties. Today the emphasis is placed on the economic, social, scientific, and cultural aspects of civilization. The student learns that the genius and personality of the individual also play a major part in the movements of history and are of most striking im- portance in the field of culture. Such men as Pasteur, Socrates, Raphael, Byron, Jane Addams, and Einstein have contributed as much to civilization as Cromwell, Alexander, Caesar, and Napoleon. The modern student who has had the opportunity of looking through the doorways to the past finds much that will enable him to appreciate the future.

Opening the portals of beauty, the art students are taught to apply the basic principles of color, harmony, and artistic design in many fields.

In team sports they have gained first hand knowledge of the prime importance of cooper- ation. As members of teams they have learned that each player must bear his share of the burden. Individual competition has encouraged' self reliance within them. Too often overlooked is the pure, almost ethereal joy that the athlete derives from his sport. Pitting strength, skill, and wits against a strain- ing opponent, satisfying man's eternal combative urge, this the athlete glories in. Locker room discussions are remembered by many a man long after the rest of his preparatory school day memories have faded into oblivion. As a builder of men, no one can overemphasize the value of athletics. -ii-- comnnons -L--E page fifty - ---mfi PORTALS fl-W - Left to Right: Louis Gomez, John 0'Donnell, Charles Blackwell, Glenn .

Cheerleaders MOLDING that elusive, intangible, school spirit into a powerful motive force, and incentive to battling athletes, a difficult task at best, has been accomplished with startling success by an alert aggressive septet, Hamburg's 1937-38 cheerleaders. With synchronism worthy of any college crew they have welded a disorganized mass of spectators into a single mighty unit of lusty vocal expression. With snappy pep assemblies they fanned pre-game enthusiasm to a fever pitch. No magicians, the cheerleaders performed these miracles through their own electric energy and the ingenuity of their genial director, Mr. Poummit. The high level mark of school spirit has been reached through their efforts. From portal to portal reverberate the echoes of enthusiasm trans- muted to sound by those active energetic alchemists, the cheerleaders of 1937-38. l-l- conmnoas ----. page fifty-one JA 1, page fifty-two Identification on page one hundred fifty-seven 5 it - -- --....-..i PORTALS Li..-'----i - LEFT TO RIGHT: Mr. Dickson iTennisl.

Coaches BUILDERS of men, the Purple and White's coaching staff turns out teams schooled in the qualities which are requisite to success in the game of life. As a reward for gruelling hours of practice, the coaches receive the welcome knowledge that some boy has profited by their experi- ence and instruction, and has been propelled nearer the portals of manhood. Mr. Howe as the guiding genius of Hamburg's football destinies, may indeed be proud of a group of charges that refused to admit defeat. The gridders were indebted no small amount to his assistants Mr. Schweikhardt and Mr. Collins. Under Mr. Wilker, the hardwood campaigners had a win- ning streak of five engagements in a row. Mr. Dickson, the new tennis mentor, put out another edition of championship purple netters. Baseball regained its position as the national game under Mr. Conklin. With the almost insurmountable handicap of no readily available practice course, the thinly clads under the astute tutelage of Mr. Harper compiled a magnifi- cent total in their meets.

Baseball IN THEIR diamond campaign to retain the coveted league championship of 1938, the baseball team employed scientific methods to achieve victory over their rivals, Strategy was the keynote of the system taught by Mr. Conklin, and his assistant, Mr. Wilker. Captain Bill Aherns, lanky first baseman and one of the leading batters was a foremost exponent of this system. He and Bill Weber, catcher, were instrumental -in keeping up the standing of the team. P Starring in the outfield was Dick Saunders whose timely hitting sent a goodly portion of Purple base-runners scurrying across the plate. From the mound Norb Young, Al McGraw, and Schieber served up a dazzling array of curves, fast balls, and floaters to keep voracious batsmen guessing. Use your head was the winning slogan of the 1938 nine. ---- CORRIDORS -li- page fifty-five ai- ---k PORTALS -- - w v LEFT TO RIGHT, TOP ROW: John Norwood, Glenn McGee.

As in other athletics the boys upheld the standards of sportsmanship which have become traditional in our school. The bulwarks of the team were Glenn McGee in the doubles and John Norwood in the singles, both of whom repeated their splendid success of last year. The school is also fortunate in having a group of players capable of being shifted from singles to doubles with no discernable loss in points or ability. - The season started with the victory for the purple invaders at Amherst. iThen followed a series of brilliant matches with teams at Lancaster, Attica, Akron, and Springville. However, the East Aurora meet proved a Waterloo for Hamburg. The season ended with an elimina- tion tournament held at East Aurora. --1-7 CORRIDORS --l page fifty-six - l PQRTALS - - 1.

In the line of individual accomplishments, Ace Parker successfully defended his laurels as district broad jump champion. John Hartman, under expert instruction, rounded out a fine hurdling form.

Girls' Athletics IN order that girls may develop well-rounded personalities and strong healthy bodies, athletics for girls have been included in the school curricula. Their calendar of major sports, which begins in the first weeks in September and lasts until the latter weeks of school in June, include soccer, basketball, volleyball, speedball and baseball. The general program for each sport consists of several weeks of preliminary practice, followed by interclass competition and climaxed with the color team games. In the meanwhile tournaments are held in the minor sports, badminton, tennis, ping-pong and shuffleboard. Of great importance to the individual girl is the spirit of comradeship and cooperation that is fostered. The memories of playdays, locker-room discussions and breathless, last minutes of play, will linger long' after the portals of the school have closed behind us for the last time as students. :-i-- CORRIDORS ----i--- page fifty-eight - -l-- PQRTALS -:..----- - GIRLS' BASKETBALL LEFT TO RIGHT: Jeanne Seeger CManagerJ, Jocelyn Woodward, Eleanor Baillie, Miss Schuler Unstructorl, Pamela Banks, Winifred Alderdice, Doris Johnson.

National Honor Society A CHAPTER of the National Honor Society was established in Hamburg High School for the purpose of giving recognition to those students Who have been outstanding in character, scholarship, leadership and service. The members are chosen by the faculty from the upper third of the junior and senior classes. Election to its fold is one of the most signal honors which a high school student can receive. What a sensation one feels upon realizing that he has been recognized as worthy of membership to a society which upholds such high ideals. During the initiation ceremonies, what a happy moment when one's trem- bling hand holds and lights his candle, an action which symbolizes member- ship in the society. If a member continues to uphold the fine ideals for which the society stands, he may feel quite certain that he is one step C nearer the 'Portals of success. 1-1-1- OPEN SESAME ---- page sixty-three .. l- PQRTALS - - Left to Right: Florence Richardson, John Norwood, William Blessing, Julia Brettle, Jeanne Seeger, Jean Clark, Grace Fowler, Mr. Parish CAdviserl, Jean Hyslop, Sue Moffitt.

Quill and Scroll FOR those students interested in j ournalisic writing the Hamburg chap- ter of the Quill and Scroll was established in 1928. Election to this international society of High School journalists is based on scholarship and journalistic ability. Each candidate must be in the upper third of the junior or senior class scholastically, must have gained recognition for his writing, and must have been recommended by the school supervisor for election to the society. At present Doctor Moffitt is the international vice- president with jurisdiction over all the eastern states. This year a group of fifteen junior and seniors was enrolled with due ceremony and each newly- elected member was made the proud owner of the coveted membership pin and certificate which entitles him to all the privileges of the society, including a year's subscription to the Quill and Scroll magazine. These journalists have helped to make The Purple Stylus and Portals successful enterprises.

The Purple Stylus IN answer to an enthusiastic student demand for a school publication, a staff of some twenty young journalists organized and presented this year to the public The Purple Stylus. Under the supervision of Mr. Parish this magazine, published monthly, attempted to bring to its readers a resume of past events in the school and a preview of forthcoming ones. After a successful subscription campaign which obtained nearly three hun- dred subscribers, The Purple Stylus staff continued its progressive work by publishing ten attractive and informative issues which met with the hearty approval of their readers. Every issue featured athletics, musical events, and numerous other school activities as Well as feature stories and editorials by members of the staff and of the journalism class. Truly deserving of its enthusiastic reception by the student body, The Purple Stylus will live not only as a keeper of the record of Hamburg High School but a contributor to that record. --T-L OPEN SESAME' --i page sixty-five - - PORTALS - - LEFT TO RIGHT: Mrs. Gunnell, Rita, Schiedel, Lillian Sauer, Eleanor Meyers, Miss Seavey, Marian Kirst, Mrs. Stowell, Helen Bonus, Mrs. Saunders.

Sophomore Hop ON DECEMBER 10, 1937 the class of 1940 made its social bow to Hamburg High School at the annual sophomore hop held in the high school gymnasium. Appropriate to the season was the title, Alpine Amblef' and the decorations which pictured scenes in the Swiss Alps. Music was furnished by the Commodores who played upon a snow- covered platform surrounded by fire. Evergreen trees and rustic furniture added to the atmosphere. The cafeteria also carried out the themeg the girls who served were dressed in Tyrolian garb. Miss Mary E. Stall, sopho- more adviser, was in charge of the entire dance, and assisting her were Miss Ruth Harvey, Miss May Seavey, Miss Alice Riehle, Miss Margaret Houston, and Mr. Ferdinand Huntley. The success of the dance was due in no small measure to the generosity and whole-hearted cooperation of the homeroom mothers, who donated refreshments and decorated the cafeteria, and to the indefatigable efforts of the entire sophomore class. -l--1 Q'oPEN SESAME - -. page sixty-six - Q- PQRTALS - - I LEFT TO RIGHT: Muriel NVelch, James Mesnard, Kathryn Upson, Rollins Low, Mary Jane McAllister, William Ellwood, Peggylee Purcell, Paul Saunders.

Junior Prom THE junior class flying high in its social project, titled this year's prom Top of the Town. Combining ideas which rocketed to the skies, artistic ability which floated about the heads of certain juniors, and the common sense qualities of leadership and service, Hamburg's Junior Class presented a dance which was highly creditable to the school and the community in every respect. The student body, enthusiastic over this unique theme, were joined by the faculty and the Board of Education in a promenade which took them high up among the roof tops for an evening of fun and entertain- ment. However, with the traditional good-night waltz, all returned again to the earthly plane. i...-l--Y OPEN SESAME? --i--- page sixty seven - --- PORTALS ' --- - Left to Right: Louis Gomez, Veronica Kozlowski, Austin Horton, Art Kurz, Eleanor Baillie, Walter MacNeil, Grace Fowler, Sue Moffitt, Vera DuBarry, Harold Mulholland, June Haushalter, William Blessing. Senior Play EACH year the Senior Play is eagerly awaited by dramatically inclined members of the graduating class. In as much as the production is the outstanding dramatic presentation of the year, untiring effort is put forth by student actors and director alike to make it a huge success. The class of nineteen thirty-eight chose as their production Happy Go Lucky, a fast-moving comedy. Under the direction of Mr. Parish, this year's play was received with great enthusiasm and took its place among the most entertaining ever produced in the school. Every year there are the willing workers who receive little or no credit for the service that they perform. These people include the members of the committees, Miss Houston and the art classes, Norman Zintz and his staff of electricians who were always working behind the scenes to make the whole setting more complete and colorful. Now once again the theater is dark until another class comes forward with another cast to lead their class to triumph.

The Senior Orchestra of fifty-five members appeared for the first time in the history of this school as a complete symphonic unit. The Senior Chorus consisting of sixty-five members and the Junior Glee Club, which consists of over fifty members, featured the vocal arias of the evening. The program started with a lovely overture to King' Mydas, fol- lowed by the Beethoven's C Major Symphony. The Junior Glee Club then appeared and a soprano solo was featured by Rosemary Fisher. One of the high-lights of the evening was the piano duet played by Mildred and John Carruth.

Student Council A DEMOCRATIC form of government has made the United States the great nation it is today. The Hamburg High School, upon recognition of this fact, set up a miniature democratic form of school government. It has taken shape in the form of a student council with members elected from the various grades. They carry on discussion with fellow members and with the school administrators, and in general represent the student body in the government of the school. The results have been very gratify- ing for it seems that students cooperate more whole-heartedly when they are given some of the responsibility of the administration of the school than when they are kept in strict discipline by their superiors. One of the outstanding accomplishments of the council is the installation of a safety conscious feeling in each student through the use of safety films, talks and tests. The Student Council has made the problems of the school the problems of each individual student. --l-- OPEN SESAME --l page seventy - PORTALS - - Left to Right: Fra.nk Clarke, Joseph Cooper, Kathryn Upson, Harold Schreiner, Harold Mulholland, Jane North, Eleanor Baillie, Mildred Piper, Robert Stuhmiller, Jerry Brazill, Amelia Smith, Joy O'Brien, Burnet John- son, Daniel Sprissler, Rollins Low, Charles Blackwell, Jeanette Huegel, Mr. Collins, Ernest Hutka, Doris Wanamaker, John Foster, Miss Bazzel, Arthur Kurz, Doris Johnson, Vera DUB8.l'l'y, Louis Gomez, Jeanne Seeger, Robert Coast, Mary A.

Sportsmanship Club AFTER the Athletic Council was disbanded, the Sportsmanship Club was organized to carry on its work and to promote an altruistic spirit in the school. Its members must have a year's experience in one of the Service Clubs, thus only juniors and seniors are admitted. It is a mark of dishonor to have members of the school give forth shouts of disapproval when an opposing team makes some spectacular play. Such displays of poor sportsmanship, this club aims to eliminate and it endeavors to supply in its place a feeling of good fellowship toward the opposing team as well as the home team. This organization sells tickets to all games, and they have taken it upon themselves to furnish programs and lil eups for the spectators. During the past year they have been very suc- cessful in building school spirit through pep assemblies, selling pennants and megaphones, and generally leading the school on to better sports- mimship. l-+-i OPEN SESAME -ll page seventy-one - ----ll...-1 PQRTALS - - A group of townspeople entering adult evening school.

Hamburg Adult Evening School NO matter into what future paths our divergent interests may lead us, we all have a common portal swinging wide open for us. It isn't one through which we enter and pause for a few short years, but rather one which opens many opportunities for the rest of our lives-the portals of Adult Education. During the 1937-38 season we have seen our parents and adult friends enter the doors of Hamburg Adult Evening School and participate in a wide variety of evening school courses along vocational, cultural and leisure-time lines. One finds taught along the vocational line mechanical drawing, leather craft, industrial arts, and typingg along the cultural line dramatics and world current events. For their use during leisure-time, adults have learned sewing and amateur photography. Some day We, too, hope to enter these doors and keep abreast of chang- ing conditions by participating in this community program. -.Ami-Q OPEN SESAME' i+ page seventy-two -1-- '- GIRLS' SERVICE CLUB LEFT TO RIGHT: Jean Armstrong CPresidentJ, Jean Dugan, Germaine Sion, Helen Agle, Mary Dow, Jeanne Rasmussen, Grace Perram, Jean Cla.rk, Virginia Dietrich, Rosemary Barnsdall, Miss Bazzel lSponsor3.

It depends on the gen- erous and unlimited support given it by the residents. At the same time, our graduates make up the future Hamburg residents who in turn will aid in supporting oncoming annual staffs. This year's staff is deeply indebted to the town of Hamburg for its undivided support in each venture which it has undertaken and gratefully realizes that without the eager participation which the people of Hamburg have joined in, our Annual could not possibly be what it is. page one hundred thirteen George B.
