Those who comprehend this situ- ation realize that, to preserve the ideal of democracy, humanity must strengthen its de- fense through education. An active exponent of this democratic belief is Hamburg High School. Herein, self-government and student participation are the channels through which youth is guided toward the realization of this ideal. Therefore, youth pledges itself to this cause of democracy, that its influence may continue to be felt throughout the world. V m o STAND still is to stagnate. Mindful of this, American statesmen of the colonial era provided for a flexible government which today's leaders utilize for progress. Foreseeing individuals exercising their privilege of freedom in private enterprise, are erecting gigantic factory systems, uniting the nation with complex transportation and communi- cation networks, extracting the ores of the earth and the fruit of the ground - growing, expanding, surging forward. From the test tube come new ways of saving life and new products to increase the joy of living. Ingenious minds are devising plans for increased social and economic security. This is the condition of democracy at peace -- democracy in action. Yet, if this prosperity is to continue, an integral part of Americais course of action must be self-defense. Against insidious attacks of pen and sword she must arm. Protected and confident, she will then sweep onward toward a Shangri Laf' Hamburg High School av- I CRITERIA ml A Hamburg Grade School Thou Wert my guide, philosopher, and friend. 'POPE JK.

Board of Education The civic minded citizens comprising the Board of Education have care- fully guarded and directed the educational welfare of the students. Their whole-hearted desire to help has created a spirit of cooperation and sympathy which has been manifested between the pupils and the Board. A wise expen- diture of school funds has resulted in a balanced budget without depriving the students of any privileges despite a decrease in appropriations. It is this group which has made available the fine teaching and excellent leadership of a good faculty and provided a well equipped school in which to work. 15 CRITERIA Dr. Moffirr For the entire period of time that we have been in school, Dr. Nloflitt has supervised us, directing us to- ward becoming better citizens. He has guided us, through education, into becoming democratic-minded students. He has generously given his time to our aid. He has helped us choose our courses, assisted us in selecting a school for our further enlightenment, and has aided some of us to attain scholarships. For this reason we, the class of nineteen- hundred and forty, wish to extend our appreciation for his many serv- ices. We feel that we are losing a close and dear friend. Mr. Simmons As a democracy needs a capable, energetic leader, so Hamburg High School has had one in Mr. Simmons during the past thirteen years. He has never been too busy to confer with students on their problems or to lend assistance. His keen judg- ment and sympathetic understand- ing have won for him a place in every student's heart. Although his friendship will be greatly missed, the students feel certain success will follow him as he begins another venture. CRITERIA Miss Robbins Upon entering Hamburg Grade School, pupils met their first school friend - Miss Robbins. She be- friended particularly those who were lost in this strange new world of education. For forty-eight years she has taught various subjects and fulfilled the office of principalg however, Miss Robbins is closing her book of school memories and retiring from the faculty. The stu- dents of Hamburg High are most sincere in wishing her happiness in her new life of leisure. Miss Eckhardt Miss Eckhardt has carefully su- pervised and guided the activities and studies of the Junior High School. Each year it has been her task to welcome a large group of seventh graders and help them be- come acquainted with their new school life. Furthermore, she has held conferences annually with all freshmen explaining the various courses offered in Senior High and trying to set up schedules to fit their needs. By tireless effort and unfaltering patience Miss Eckhardt has demonstrated to all, her skill and mastery as a leader. SENIGR FACULTY CORA BAZZEL Commercial JULIUS C. BRAUN Industrial Arts RUTH M.

Gradually the students become adjusted. ln the Junior Council they receive their first taste of self-government, and twice a year hold student elections to determine their leaders for the coming semester. This training in the council and other branches of the student government helps in creating the spirit of self-reli- ance and independent thought which are the aims of this junior high faculty. 20 .. - arc.- .... -.

Student Council Government of the people, by the people, and for the people, the epi- tome of democracy, is the criterion of Hamburg High School. Modeling the school system after the federal government, the students elect repre- sentatives to the council. This organization sponsored by Mr. Simmons, determines the form of government vital to the welfare of the school. A few of the many successful activities of the Student Council are the sponsoring of social hours, charting of attendance records, and the organizing of a monitor system. Thus, through student participation, a highly democratic form of government has been established in Hamburg High School. 21 Home Room Mothers The Senior Homeroom Moth- ers, of whom Mrs. Alfred B. Tall- man is chairman, plan and assist in carrying out the many social functions of Hamburg High School. They preside at the Sophomore Hop, the Junior Prom, the Senior Picnic, and climax their activities by decorat- ing the auditorium for Commence- ment. These mothers, each repre- senting her homeroom, meet with Mr. Simmons, the principal, at least once each month and dis- cuss, in conjunction with interest- ed teachers, the ever changing plan and phases of school work. Taken as a group, the Senior Home Room Mothers play an im- portant part in school activities.

This year Dr. Hartwell's interesting talks presented the problems con- fronting the students and suggest- ed methods of improving the con- ditions which create them. This organization has helped pupils by costuming plays, holding dances, and presenting educational mov- ies. For these and many other in- tangible aids, Hamburg High School is indebted. CRITERIA riff Left to right: Miss Pierce, Miss Clark, Miss Blanck, Miss Mumback. Office Secretaries Efhciently and quietly the office secretaries manage the clerical and statistical affairs of the school. However, without their able as- sistance it would be impossible to carry out so accurate and bene- ficial a school program. Besides the daily duties of keeping attend- ance records and distributing notices, Miss Pierce, Miss Blanck, Miss Clark, and Miss Mumback, stand ready to aid and advise the students at all times. Not only are these secretaries invaluable to the school organization, but they are considered as true friends by all the students. Left to right: Mrs. Schultz, Mr. Schieber, Mr. Sauer, Mr. Duchmann, Missing: Department of ML Ludwig, Superintendents Some people are born to be great orators, and sway masses by the spoken word. Some rise to power through an outstandingly magnetic personality. Others serve, performing quietly and thoroughly the tasks that are es- sential. Such are the members of the department of superintend- ence. Working industriously, day and night, they perform the duties which are indispensable to the ef- ficient functioning of the school. 23 g CRITERIA Adult Evening School During the winter months, Hamburg High School opens its doors to the adults of the community. Many courses are offered, a few of which are: typing, industrial arts, dramatics, and current events, the latter being the most popular. The adults meet every Monday night for two hours to be instructed in their respective courses. At the end of the year, each depart- ment displays samples of the work accomplished. 24 K i CRITERIA I g Left to right: Dr. Fruder, Mr. Buesch, Mr, lVlacGavern, Mr. Colvin, Mr. Trask, Mr. Pierce, Mr. S pprell, Mr. Hanson, Mr, Vara, Mr. Fogelsanger, Mr. Fawcett, Mr. Elliot, Mr. Cole, Mr. Measer, Mr. Richardson, Mr. Andrew, Mr. Luxford, Mr. Eaton, Mr. Powers, Mr. Brandt, the Reverend Mr. Hoffman, Dr. Hoff- man, Mr. Sternberg, Lieutenant McWhorter, Mr. Korst, Mr. Hickman, Mr. Elliot, Mr. Smith. Chamber of Commerce The Hamburg Chamber of Commerce, whose aim is to promote coopera- tion and good will among the businessmen of the community, is an indis- pensable factor in the growth of Hamburg. It actively fosters progressive steps in local business. At their weekly luncheon meeting the members be- come better acquainted. Once a month a speaker presents a topic of current interest. Among the local activities backed by this organization have been the adult night school and the annual Library Ball. 25 Teaclv lziglv tlzouglvt and amiable Words Anal courtliness and the desire of fame And love of truth and all that makes a man '-'TENNYSON DEPARTMENTS .

The students of Ham- burg I-ligh School are offered a widely inclusive course by Miss McGee, Mrs. Pierce, Miss Riehle, and Miss Townsend, who train them in the art of self- expression so vital to advancement in the world today. The ultimate aim of such student development is continuation by future generations of that government 'thy the people . 29 gg g CRITEVRAIA V W WY Y if Left to right: Greene, A., Miss Dickson finstructorl, Bass, Rider, Hamm, Ottinger, Hallett, Phayre, Knisley, E., Gross, Frey, P., Rosenhahn, Fatta, M., Dunlavy, V., Mazur, Roberts, Mesnard, I, Zook, R., Wilson, R., Gonzalez, Sprickman.

In this troubled, historical epoch, all may keep abreast of the times through books, magazines, and newspapers which the library contains. Although this freedom in selecting material is advocated in America, it is not allowed in some foreign countries. Thus Americans have further occasion to appreciate this nation's liberty. The students of Hamburg thank Miss Dickson for her Willing assistance. 30 .

History is taught in Hamburg High School by Mr. Collins and Mr. Schweikardt who have a deep reverence for the truth and its ability to stimulate individual participation and thought. Never before this present world crisis has it been necessary for students to understand and appreciate the basic ideals and forms of a democratic government. 31 b W in CRITERIA Left to right: Joyce, Hornaday, Fiedler, Henry, Baer, Schwartz, Burgquardt, Wilson, R., Miss Seavey, Qinstructorl Language Department Speech was made to open man to man and not to hide him, to promote commerce and not betray it. -LLOYD This department offers students an opportunity to study not only the language but the culture of the several peoples who have made America the melting pot of the world. Students may elect Miss Seaveyls German course, Miss Warburton' s French classes, or the Latin curriculum taught by Miss Graham. To project their influence beyond the limits of the classroom, these language classes have organized foreign clubs. It is their conviction that the study of languages provides a medium of international under- standing which will lead eventually to the promotion of world peace. 32 to C R I T E R25 or ssss so c-,srs Left to right: Workman, Korst, Herman, Matthewson, Gerkin, B., Lucas, Harrington, Shoop, Helfaer, Hatch, Richardson, Simon, L., Fitzpatrick, P., Brinkerholf, R., Fogarty, Schoepperle, Andrews, Timm, Seeger, Meisenheimer, Callahan, Daetsch, Knisley, Miss Stall finstructorl, Tornow, Ludwig, Dudley, McAllister, W., Flett, Greene, Rogers, Draudt. Mathematics Department He who knows not mathematics cannot know any other science. -BACON Clear thinkers are required by democracy to work its problems through to a conclusion. In the field of mathematics, the student learns to think logically and accurately, and to apply this skill in solving not only numerical, but all problems. Returning alumni of Hamburg High School have greatly praised the mathematical background laid by Miss Harvey and Miss Stall. A complete course in this department would include two types of geometry, three of algebra, and trigonometry. Moreover, some mathematics appear on all schedules to act as mental gymnastics for lazy brains. 33 or m . ...cclI.E.1?-I.ffX .... c Left to right: Daetsch, Potter, Helfaer, Van Broclclin, Miller, McGee, D., Meisenheimer, Roberts, Stebenson, Korst, Kern, Baer, Ludwig, Grosjean, R., Nieman, R., Erway, Fisher, Ftzpatriclc, Hahn, O,Donnell, -I., Tillou, Osterle, Mr. Conklin finstructorl, Butts, Prusalc, J., Zoolc, R., Sipprell, Watkins, Hutlca, Sullivan.

Scientific training is excellent preparation for this task, for it stresses the Weighing of evidence and the formation of indepen- dent opinions. This year in addition to chemistry and physics, science students in Hamburg High School have turned to astronomy and geology. New and popular, Mr. Harper's class in physical geography promises to become an established course. Further, the importance of a determined program of conservation to preserve American greatness is pointed out by Mr. Conlclin's biology course. 34 CRITERIA Left to right: Goodyear, Mr. Poummit finstructorl, Gaylord, Silvis, M., Steese, Deering, Ambrose Camus, M. Music Department Music is the universal language of manlzindf' -LONGFELLOW Democracy is not a form of government, but a way of living. More and more the American Way is to say it with music. But if this is to he a singing nation, it must early develop an appreciation for music. So it is that in Hamburg High the music department aims not only at training future musicians but also at bringing a little of the thrill of melody and harmony to everyone. In addition to regular classwork, talented students under the direction of Mr. Poummit, have this year soared to new heights in the orchestra and chorus. The music department also introduced a new and popular type of assembly-the community sing. 35 . -SHS .-...C.RlT.ER1A ..

Chorus Music hath charms. Back as fat as history records, man has sought to express his emotions through the medium of music and choral work. Although the chorus has given no recitals this year, each member has thoroughly enjoyed endeavoring to meet Mr. Poummit's challenge to master choral singing. Achievement of such harmony in song, as in life, is excel- lent training for participation in a democracy. 36 g H C R I T E R M-Wg, F M 7 f 2, Left to right: Greanoif, F., Ambrose, Wheaton, Newlcirlc, Greanoif, M., Roberts, MacClean, J., Carruth, Frey, Tallman, Schoepperle, Erway, Poloway, Coors, Zoolc, Harrington, Schosek, Tuttle, Lewis, Bretrle, Stcwell, Fenger, Sharpe, Mr. Poummit finstructorl, Silvis, Bass, Goodyear, Dimon, Hatch, Gunnell, Deering, Mohr, Abbott, Smith, Steese, Blanck, Upson, Lipp, Ramsdell, Coots, Ludwig, Pfeffer, Gaylord.

Orchestra Long hours of hard work under the faithful encouragement of Mr. Poummit culminated in performances at both the Oratorical Contest and Easter Assembly which were acclaimed by all. Playing in an orchestra teaches the student that the prime requisite of musical harmony is the ability to play together well. In later years this knowledge will inspire them to strive for social harmony. 37 QRITERIA Lefl to rigbl: LeVere, Abbott, Frey, V., Lucas, Foote, Miss Houston finstructorj, Rider.

Toward the achievement of that ideal, this department does much to instill the principles of art and beauty. Beginning with the elements of harmony and design, the student progresses to highly specialized projects in house planning and costume designing. The production of The Queenls Husbandv owed much of its success to the effective set designed and executed by Miss Houston and her art students. This group was also responsible for the Christmas window designs and various dance decorations. 38 WY, CRITERIA inn Left to right: Foster, Allison, Kitst, Fatta, Whalen, Ilko, Gomez, Gordcn.

The right to hold positions of secretary or treasurer to a school organization is reserved to business students in order to further their experience. In addition, commercial students who are engaged in the offices for secretarial practice, and who might otherwise be obliged to leave, are able to continue in school through the help of the N. Y.

This fact is recognized in Hamburg High School, through the Home Economics department. In the cottage girls actually discover and put into practice the principles involved in the management of a well-organized home. Miss Donnigan and Miss Buddenhagen are constantly striving toward the goal of this department, to develop those qualities in each girl which will enable her to become a real American homemaker. 40 CRITERIA Left to right: Meyer, F., Sprissler, Baines, lVIr.

In Hamburg High School, the Industrial Arts department does its part in fostering this work. Under the capable ,direction of Mr. Braun and Mr. Wilker, the students are instructed in, and soon master, crafts, as did members of the medieval guilds. They are graduated as skilled artisans, ready to fill their places in a world which demands eHicient labor. 41 in ii. ci- mir .CREQEQA an Left to right: Mr. Kilcoyne fstudent teacherl, Breuss, Timm, Gordon, Finley, Richardson, Pohlman, Mielsoe, Becker, Korst, Grimm, F., Abbott, O'Brien, Saznowske, Gonzalez, Mr. Braun finstructorj, Sullivan, Koszubowski.

From this ancient practice has developed modern architecture, which in turn necessitated mechanical drawing. Many Hamburg students find a particular fascination in this phase of modern industry. In the mechanical drawing course they study scale drawing and desire to acquire the training necessary to take their places in this rapidly progressing Machine Age. The guidance of Mr. Braun, mechanical drawing instructor, is most helpful to these future workers in American industry. 42 CRITERIA Left to right: Mr. Howe, Miss Schuler, Miss Kavanaugh, Miss Gordon. Health Department In nothing do men more nearly approach the gods than in giving health to men. -CICERO Health is vital for a clear, alert mind and therefore of utmost importance to any nation. In Hamburg High School an organized and efficient health program, designed to assist in the study of hygienic living and the hasic laws of health, has been established. Pupils are trained in activities which will develop self-direction and lead to a realization of the joys of health. A dental hygienist, Miss Kavanaugh and school nurse, Miss Stevenson, are in constant attendance offering aid and advice to the student body. During Miss Stevenson's illness her duties were administered hy Miss Gordon. 43 L CRITERIA Left to right: Korabelc, Hipp, Charley, Mathien, Landis, Brazill, Hill, Pendl, Sharpe, Langhans, Trippe, Brinlcerhoff, Bruclo, Tillou, Morse, Ellis, Grimm, McDonald, Meyer, Demmerley, Fatta, Lasota, Wilson, Burns, Fox, Anzulewicz, McAllister, Mr. Howe finstructorl, Yuill, Simon, Hamm, Mesnard, Wilson, Newell, Bull, Spriclcman, Keppler. Boys' Gym From the boys' gymnasium classes are recruited the teams which represent Hamburg High School. The curriculum includes exercises, games, stunts, and marching. Yet the n1OSt valuable training given by Mr. Howe is his encouragement of cooperation and fair play. The school looks to this department for aid in preserving its high reputation for sportsmanship. Democracy does not regiment young boys into military discipline. Rather it prepares sound, alert individuals for an active citizenry. 44 K A CRITERIA Left to right: Brown, Schema, Illco, S,, Scott, Kuhn, Pulvrenti, Thomas, Marshall, Simon, l-laugh, Miller, Robinson, Gaupel, Haugh, Meyer, Bley, Kruger, M., Zittle, Kruger, B., Brown, Nagy, Meyer, Stanes, Streilf, Schiedel, Pulvrenti, Blackwell, Wagner, Lapp, Lewis, Matthewson, Potter, Kyenn, Mazur, Schroeder, Miller, Kruse, Sipprell, Miss Schuler finstructorj, Roberts, Morrow, Bond, Hahn, Burroughs. Girls' G m Since American democracy must train the body as well as the mind, physical education in Hamburg High School occupies two periods each week. Most of this time is devoted to marching tactics, dancing, sports skills, apparatus work exercises, and correctivesg however, Miss Schuler offers the opportunity to apply these skills in the spirit of sportsmanship by the ever-popular' games. The classes are conducted democratically by a president and two marshals elected by the girls. 45 CRITERIA gg Left to riglnl: Brown, McAllister, Flett, Wittmeyer, Cameron, Pulvrenti, Spriclcman, Sedore, O'Bt-ian, Bentz, Reilly, Goldsmith, Gerlcin, Keeler, Osterle, Baker, Mansfield, McCarthy, Ovitt, Kelly, Hammersley, Hall, Tuttle, Callahan, Meisenheimer, Banks, Patterson, Zoolc, Ahrens, Goodyear, Fitzpatrick, Brerrle, Schoepperle, Grant, Saunders, Blohm, Bannister, Baines, Anzulweiscz, Scull, lVIiss Stall finstructorl.

When ideas run low, the popular speaking privilege is used, and the pupil can get information or help from another pupil. This speaking privilege allows two pupils to stand and converse simultaneously with two other pupils. This is invaluable in aiding the pupils to complete their lessons and procure missed assignments. This privilege exemplifies the student cooperation that exists in Hamburg High School. 46 CRITERIA Left to right: Mrs. Salisbury, Mrs. Colvin.

Mrs. Colvin and Mrs. Salisbury have acquired a reputation for wholesome and delicious meals. By careful planning and management, new and delightful dishes as well as the old favorites are ready and waiting at 11:40 A. M. To most students the cafeteria is the favorite haunt in the school, for here not only are their inner cravings satisfied, but they have the opportunity to chat with and enjoy the company of old friends. 47 Read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest. -BOOK OF COMMON PRAYERS : M I: 1' :+ V Q W, Y ':'f f'41y2a '-M M -- M ,- .:. - ' ..2..:+.'. .- ?

Unfortunately, like the chain, democracy is only as strong as its weakest link-the indolent citizen. It is a national responsibility to educate youth to cope with difficult problems which may arise. On the other hand, that same responsibility of society entails liberal education of each student in order that no mind may become warped. Although the complexities of this present age necessitate specialists, they also demand thorough, basic training on the parts of the general public as well as of the experts. Too frequently intellectuals are prone to overlook the fact that liberal education of the masses is the only means of erecting permanent system of government beneficial to each member. If democracy is to continue, the immediate goal of educa- tion must be to build each adolescent mind to its fullest, Christian capacities-capacities which will be alive and functioning.

Sophomore Central Board This advisory group stands as a monument to the foresight of a member of the sophomore class. Qrganized this year, the board was immediately faced with numerous problems, the handling of the annual hop being its major concern. Next, it undertook to improve student courtesy, publicize the merit award through hcmeroom meetings, and sponsor three practice dances before the hop. The membership of the Sophomore Central Board is limited to twenty students, five faculty advisors, and the two sophomore councilmen. The school is indebted to this democratic group for its splendid service to underclassmen. 52 CRITERIA mg gg i Sophomore Hop Imagine veritably dancing on air, surrounded by silvery comets and a glittering moon shining out of the blue sky. The gymnasium, for this one December night, had been transformed by the clever wall-paintings which had been designed and constructed by the sophomores themselves. Even the heavenly strains of the White Knights' Orchestra blended with the celestial setting. The Stratosphere Strollers blissfully whiled away the evening among the clouds, and at one o'clock regretfully departed with a pleasant memory of another successful Sophomore Hop. 53 W if W wiv CRITERIA, V Left lo right: Workman, Kirst, Armstrong, Johnson, McLean, Cornell, Henry, Newton, Mr. Collins fadvisorl, Pfeifer, Burns, Koch, Miss Graham faclvisorj, Mr. Fawcett fadvisorj, Cullen, J., DuBarry, Burgquarclt, Miss Warburton Qadvisorj, Mrs. Pierce fadvisorj, Feicller. unior Advisory Council The Junior Advisory Committee consists of four officers from each junior homeroom. They meet weekly to discuss current problems of the class and seek ways and means of solving them. During the year this group cooperates extensively with the Sportsmanship Club by advertising basketball games. They encourage students to work for the National Honor and Merit Awards by pointing out the necessary qualifications. In the late spring, steps are taken by this organization to formulate plans for the Junior Prom including the appointments of committees. All of these very successful activities are accomplished through the el-forts of this organization. 54 H CRITERIA unior Prom Sophisticated sweethearts swaying-you've guessed it-The Junior Prom.

This was the unique setting for the Maritime Minuet. At eight bells, the king and queen 'of the prom led the Grand March.

To learn the spirit of democracy, youth must prac- tice the principles of cooperation and inter-dependence. No- where can these prime requisites of the character of a citizen be better developed than through participation in athletics. Requiring individualism as well as teamwork, sports produce good followers and ready leaders who will be capable of attaining their ideals. However, the influence of athletics is not limited to the players, it has an infinitely wider scope. Bordering each field of contest are spectators who must learn to have faith in the strength and ability of those chosen to represent them. These observers must persevere in this faith, even in the face of defeat, overlook mistakes, and rejoice in triumphs. Sportsmanship and respect of fellowmen have ever been the symbols of Americanism. Training youth in the import- ance of these ideals is the function of athletics.

Baseball The best material in three years, was the way Coach Conklin described this year's baseball team. Built around a nucleus of two lettermen, aided by six other veterans from last year, and eight promising rookies, the team displayed an excellent spirit in spite of adverse beginnings. An unusually heavy schedule, eleven games, confronted the team. Their cooperation and sportsmanship were a credit to the already high morale of Hamburg High School activities. , 74 CRITERIA Left lo right: Cullen, Mr. Measer fcoachl, Shoop, Mohr, Grosjean, Eaton, Smith, Norwood, Ingersoll, Schoepperle, DuBarry, Parks, Meyer, Miller, Cameron. Tennis - Track Tennis, the most successful of Hamburg High's sports, is the one most commonly continued in later life. Under the tutorship of Mr. Measer the team has won tournament after tournament, thereby filling our showcase with trophies. Just as popular with the student body, the track squad, supervised by Coach Harper, excelled in this most rigorous of sports.

Girls' Sports Europeans may regard girls as procreative automatons and clock the twenty-four hours of their day, but democracy gives the American girl leisure -time to relax at sports. ln Hamburg High School an efficient manager system handles the multitude of details attendant upon girls, athletics. Intramural competition stimulates enthusiasm which culminates in games played by color teams selected by Miss Schuler and Mrs. Cummings from the skilled players. Hamburg girls have also been successful in inter- scholastic play days. 76 CRITERIA Left to rigfvl: Robinson, Ovitt, Roberts, Frey, Goddard, Bass, I-laugh, Goldsmith, Schiller, Ambrose, Huegel, Gunnell, Eaton, Thomas, Seeger, Griffin. Girls' Letter Award System The summit of achievement in girls' athletics is the attainment of a major letter. To qualify for this award a girl must accumulate two hundred and fifty points during the year. Credits may be earned for attending practice regularly, for being a member of a class team, or for meriting a place on a color team. Managers also receive credits proportional to the service. At the conclusion of the second semester the points which each girl has won in the various sports are totalled. 77 i S or as or r CRITERIA as ecarreaa, was Left to right: Mr, Collins, Mr. Wilker, Mr. Martelle, Mr. Howe, Mr. Fawcett, Mr. Measer, Mr. Conklin. Coaches The untiring efforts of Hamburg's coaching squad bring about a twofold result: victories by the teams, and gradual development of the character of each player. Under the coaches' supervision each team member develops cooperation and sportsmanship which will be to his advantage all through life. The coaching staff is composed of high school teachers under the capable direction of Mr. Howe. Before each game can be played, long hours are spent planning practices and perfecting plays. Into each game goes not only the best efforts of the players, but also the loyal support and boundless energy of the coaches. 78 O fm CRITERIA? Left to right: Damon, Gunnell, Francis, Workxnan, Mr. Poummit, Shoop, Andrews, Simon, O'Donnell, R. Cheerleaders In perfect unison the cheerleaders of the school arouse the enthusiasm of the students and players to score victories for their alma mater. This group has not only stimulated student interest at the games hut has brought many lusty cheers and spectacular formations to the school through the medium of original pep assemblies. The precision of their gestures is equal to that of any college group of cheerleaders. Under the direction of Mr. Poummit they plan new cheershand think of hetter ways to encourage a larger student representation at all athletic activities. 79 Not in rewards, but in the strength to strive, the blessing lies. -TROWBRIDGE an , .,.:. l--.: -'. . - ::- , , , 2 2 sk K .vi ' , -fy ,-lwxrw -- wif- 4 . 515,25 . .. ,dm ff 'S -Y -, ' 2 EEF:-: ' , if ' , , K' as Y?

Sportsmanship Club The true democratic idea of cooperation is exhibited in Hamburg High School through the relation of the Sportsmanship Club to athletics. Under the faculty guidance of Miss Bazzel and Mr. Collins and student leaders, this organization has sponsored sales of emblem-pins and megaphones, sold candy and tickets at games, and performed countless other tasks vital to the success of the teams. The outstanding achievement, however, has been the fostering of a spirit of fair play, integrity, and sportsmanship. This organ- ization has left behind it an enviable record-one which all future students might imitate. 83 Boys' Service Club In itself an important unit, this organization is an approach to the Sportsmanship Club. Since mem- bership is voluntary, there is no difficulty in securing willing work- ers. Under the leadership of Mr. Collins, the boys have undertaken police duty of the football field, as well as erection and clearing away of bleachers at basketball and football games. In parades and pep meetings they can always be counted on for full support. This spirit of service and coopera- tion will be an asset to the democ- racy in which they will partici- pate as future citizens.

Girls' Service Club In Hamburg High School the Girls' Service Club exemplifies the principle of unselfish devotion to the welfare of others-the spirit of democracy. Directing guests, maintaining a lost and found de- partment, delivering mail, selling tickets, ushering at plays, and polishing desks are just a few of the many tasks which they per- form. This organization, spon- sored by Miss Bazzel, has given great service to the school by doing those menial tasks, so often overlooked, which are stepping i stones to genuine democracy.

Interviews This year the National Honor Society, under the supervision of Miss Riehle, performed a tremen- dous service by interviewing each student in the upper third of the graduating class. These confer- ences were to show the possibili- ties of college education and to interest students in winning scholarships. This program meant extensive hard worlc, re- quiring many hours for the actual interviews, as well as for research, acquiring facts concerning the numerous opportunities available. Such service cannot be under- estimated, from it grow potential leaders. National Honor Society Admission to the National Honor Society is the highest honor awarded by Hamburg High School, and is a goal toward which every student aims. It is given to those who are scholastic- ally in the upper third of their class, have performed some out- standing service, possess the quali- ties of a leader, and exhibit a fine, wholesome character. Men pos- sessing these qualities stabilized this democracy, and men of today exhibiting them will be the ones to perpetuate it.

This year nine seniors were initiated to the International Honorary Society for High School Journalists. To be eligible for this honor, the candidate must be scholastically in the upper third of his class, have gained recognition in the field of journalism, and have been recom- mended by Miss McGee, the activity sponsor, and Dr. Moifitt. In this way Hamburg High School's outstanding amateur journalists are recognized. Journalism, an increasingly important vocation, is largely instrumental in molding public opinion and giving voice to individual desires. 86 W CRITERIQM f img Left to right: Goddard, Roberts, Monckton, Brinlcerhoff, Mr. Schweilcardt fadvisorl, Gregory, Dunlavy, Griswold, Rucker, lllco, Riefler, Haflett, Hill, Stowell, Miss Townsend ladvisorl, Gaupel, Mr. Huntley fadvisorj, Cooper, Ottinger, Zook, McKallip, Mulholland, Meyer, Klispie, Miss McGee fadvisorj, Bley, Purcell, Duncan, Greanoff, Saunders, Bouchard, Gonzalez, Rider, Welch, Gomez, Dimon, Sauer, Matthew, Eaton, Watt, Kuhn. Annual Staff Just as historians have set down events in the annals of democracy, the staff of Criteria has endeavored to chronicle the activities of Hamburg High School. To secure efficiency, six committees were formed, each under the direction of a faculty member. The responsibilities of photography, adver- tising, business, art, journalism, and circulation were appointed to their respective units. However, in affairs of general concern, the entire staff toiled together in a spirit of cooperation. MRS. SIMMONS fs.' 'f For nineteen ears Mrs. Simmons strove earnestl to establish and maxn- fi, tain a calibre of yearbook which would be in keeping with the ideals of , Hambur Hi h School. This ear even after her retirement in the fall, , .. .... 8 S Y 2 . she has stood by, ready to offer suggestions and encouragement. The staff i n at this time wishes to express its sincere appreciation to Mrs. Simmons w , ', - for her quiet, steadymg advice which has been invaluable. 87 cLrEBlTER1A Le Cercle Francais Peace comes only with complete understanding of other people's ideas and habits. Although Le Cercle Francais was founded in Hamburg High by Miss Warbur- ton primarily for the purpose of perfecting the conversational French of the students, it has a much wider scope. lt attempts to stimulate interest in the customs and problems of the French peo- ple and in this way promote a more friendly feeling toward them. At the meetings no Eng- lish can be spoken and rhe mem- bers fincl it very entertaining and educational to present plays, play games, and sing songs in French.

Its membership is composed of students who have studied the Latin language for at least one and a half years. Meet- ing regularly once a month under the sponsorship of Miss Graham, the club strives to accomplish its goal by singing Latin songs, play- ing Roman games, and investigat- ing the world of the Caesars. There is a current attempt to join the Hamburg chapter of this or- ganization with those of nearby schools.

Three-Act Play Following weeks of patient in- struction by Miss Townsend and diligent work by the cast, 'lThe Queen,s Husband emerged wor- thy of the enthusiastic comments it received. The scenery, designed and executed by Miss Houston, provided an authentic and pic- turesque setting. As usual, many parents loyally came to the sup- port of the students by lending furniture and assisting in costum- ing. The splendid cooperation of the committees greatly facilitated a difhcult task. The plot concern- ed the final triumph of a docile king over his domineering wife and overbearing statesmen. CRITERIA Theta Players The Theta Players, organized for the purpose of acquainting its members with all the intricate de- tails of producing a play, success- fully presented the Christmas play, A Miracle by Mary and the three act comedy, l'The Queen's Husband? As a result of this experience, many individ- uals have increased their abilities as actors, directors, makeup ar- tists, and stage crew. More im- i portant than this, they have learned the necessity of good speech and thus will be better able to express their opinions - a prized right in any democracy.

The curriculum had to be extended and geared to the times. The school buildings had to be kept adequate for the expanding curriculum. And the community had to be alert to for- see and provide for the ever changing needs in the education of youth. To establish schools for free, public education is one of the most overt ways of expressing a belief in democracy, and a trust in posterity. The zeal with which youth strives for learning is one of the most overt expressions of gratitude.

Y. who furnislved Woodwork for the new HAMBURG AND EDEN SCHOOLS OUR NEW GRADE SCHOOL - is built to accommodate present increased numbers of Hamburg children as ascertained by the Board of Education on the basis of the average increase during the last fifteen years. It will also relieve congestion in the present High School, and make adequate provision for students' extra curricular activities, health programs, and the physical requirements of grow- ing young people. This new school was an actual necessity. The entire third floor of the old school had been condemned by the state, it was a fire hazardg the plumbing was unsanitary, and the crowded conditions in both schools had to be relieved. This school is of modern fire proof construction, containing 22 class rooms, a kindergarten room, health room, auditorium, gymnasium, cafeteria, and large activities room. This room can if necessary be divided into Z full size class rooms. There is also a complete industrial arts department. The complete radio installed in every room permits the tuning in on all special programs from the outside world. Ir also permits the tuning in on separate room activities, and bulletins from the main oflice to each room. There is a network of telephone connections for all rooms. The newest type of radiators and a univent system have been installed to insure correct heat- ing and ventilation of each room thus protecting the health of every child. A completely equipped cafeteria, under the direction of a graduate dietitian from the Home Economics Department, will serve both the High School and Grade School. The Industrial Arts De- partment is equipped completely for wood working, printing, metal work, automobile me- chanics, mechanical drawing, painting, in fact all crafts which will be of greatest assistance to boys seeking employment upon graduation. The grounds offer opportunity for all ages of boys and girls in inter mural activities, such as tennis, softball, archery, hand ball, field hockey, and touch football. There are also fully equipped playgrounds for small children with sand boxes, swings, climbing balls, horse shoe pits.

The first annual book was published in 1920 to serve a definite need of having an expression of each year's school activities. To read the annual books from the first one down through C riteria, provides one with a full understanding of the development of the curriculum, the school and Hamburg. Not only does the annual book provide a written and pictorial record of the school's activities through the years but also gives to the student actual experiences in financing, planning, and editing. For these reasons, it can be added that a part of the educational curriculum is the publication of- Our Annual Book ip V WW p fVffQpIlVER I A iww- W f 2 tifetid Li Me iii11i11uiZg0vLcffAe Cffmu 0745940 .1 The Class of 1940 wish to extend sincere appreciation to the following who have cooperated advised, and helped to make this book a success. 066 :Jef ::g-fzuiffc WA.-1,715,717 FRANCIS A.
