V 5 Y , F Y r S L, . , F f e Q VALEDICTORY June, while it is the lovliest month of the year and reechoes nature's exuberance, nevertheless heralds a commencement - one which is replete with a feeling of sadness at the farewell that we must make. Presently, we shall have departed from Lafayette, but in spirit we shall remain, cherishing always her ideals, her spirit, and her aims. We look forward, as we step into the unknown, to what the future may hold for us, but our anticipation can never quite overcome our realization of what the last four years have meant to us. A singular privilege has been accorded us - that of being graduated during the celebration of Captain Mellen's silver anniversary as principal of this school. Because we have been thus privileged and because our associa- tion with Captain has imbued us with the sense of right and the nobility of spirit which is his, the Class of 1951 bids him a fond farewell. Our gratitude goes to the teachers who have prepared us in out en- deavors to take our places in life and who have given enthusiastically of their time and efforts that we might progress. To the underclassmen, we dedicate our position and all the privileges which it entails, exhorting them to uphold the traditions of Lafayette and to support Captain Mellen and the faculty in all that they may do. May they always remember with Browning: Ah, but a man's teach should exceed his grasp Or what's a heaven for P We, as a class, have been enriched by our matriculation here, and it is with a sense of regret that we pause upon the attainment of our goal to say farewell to our Alma Mater.

A vv O was FAREWELL TO THE SENIORS It is with mingled feelings of satisfaction and regret that we, the faculty, look upon the graduation of the Class of 1931. Not only have you lived up to the traditions of our schoolg but, through a devotion and loyalty to its ideals you have both strengthened what has already been done by those who have preceded you, and have contributed much to the good and welfare of the school. Naturally, upon entrance here, your thought was, VVhat will Lafayette High School do for me? Almost immediately. you imbibed the Lafayette spirit and asked, XNhat can I do for Lafayette? You soon learned what to do and are leaving a line scholastic record, a truly generous- support of all activities, and a noble spirit of co-operation. We of the faculty have tried to do our duty towards you, entrusted to our care four years ago, and your willingness to he helped and encouraged has been of inestimable value to us in this endeavor to perform our task. lt has been the ambition of each one of us to create in you a desire to know what you ought to know, and to do what you ought to do. - There is no question about the firmness of the friendships you have estab- lished among yourselves, with the other classes, and with the teachers. Vtfe are confident that these friendships will prove to be a very valuable asset time goes on. I am delighted in the thought that my Silver Anniversary class is made up of such loyal and devoted young men and women. Come back to old Lafayette at any time that you may find a convenient opportunity, and be sure of a hearty welcome to your Alma Mater. XfVe say Goodbye with reluctance, and God- speed with pleasure and love. .Sixteen SENICDRS 3' W 1 B j V u E C gi?-HQ?

A life of smiling mien from worry free, Of strength and force compelling human hand To happy wand'rings in a joyous lanidg For life holds laughing lilts and pleasures gay. One sees there changing dreams and moods that play Relentless havoc with our inward thought, The very soul that easily is wrought, And thus is spoiled by one deep wrathful strain, 'Till happiness from all of life will wane. This life is shallow and as clearly seen As some swift rippling mountain stream. Yet life has depth and unseen feeling As the ocean's calm is turbulence concealing. For life is all a shadowed mystery, Wheiice comes its lure, its magic sorcery. The birth, the death, the living through and through Are dark g but lights and shades of checkered hue Appear to make us see the stronger side, Wfhere laughter, love, and lightness ride On white-winged wheels of happiness, If we but cleave to faith in Godliness. Rosemary Dudley ' f' f a t- Ri Q ' Q 2 l ggx a THE RISE OF THE CLASS OF I93l THE ERA OF COLONIZATION 1 The Discovery of Lafayette Although the shores of Lafayette High were first braved in 1903, and larger groups came year after year, it was not until the year 1927 in September that explorers for King ,lohn and Queen Aliene first sighted this fair land. Of course, they had already heard many wonderful tales concerning the New World-that it had real educational freedom and that it was ruled by the greatest of principals. They were not told of the many hardships to be endured. N0 one had warned them against the savage tribes or the dangers of losing their way. 2 The Trend in Oratory Not long after the skirmish with the savage tribes had subsided, members of the delegation participated in a declamation contest. To the victors, Rosemary 'Dudley and Marvin Gpler, went the spoils. 3 The Press There was much satire written and many cartoons were drawn in the tabloids of the land, heralding the arrival of these explorers. The Lafayette Oracle in particular was most cruel. 4 The First Bloodshecl Toward the close of the wintry month of Janu- ary occurred the first battle with the Regents. Although all had been preparing for war since their arrival, they were caught off their guard in many instances. 5 Party Politics Raises its Head Even at this early date, political fac- tions began to grow. Among these, the lntelligentsia was by far the most power- ful. The leaders of this group included Eleanor Krull, Elsa Heilbrun. Quentin Bernbardt, Nicholas Radius, and others. 6 Another Conflict Near the middle of Tune, most of the colonis-ts had won over civics, English, algebra, biology, and Latin. Their losses were few on this battlefield and the Regents were completely put to rout. AGE OF GROWING CULTURE1 During the second year of their stay in the land, the colonists were becom- ing acclimated to conditions. They had learned to adjust themselves to various horrors, such as attacks of the Regents, in an admirable way. A peculiar sub- stance known as midnight oil was particularly effective in routing the well- known enemy. The settlers welcomed and did their best to aid the ever-increas- ing horde of new colonists, searching for knowledge, in the land of the en- lightened. They themselves made great progress both physically and mentally. 7 Preparations for Conflict Long hours were spent training various strong troops to go against other lands. Earl Seick, Charles Riter, Clarence Riley, Tom Fallon, Kathryn Gibson, Charlotte Mangan, Audrey Dayman, and Waiicla Carroll, always eager to aid, enlisted. Although they spent most of their time on the squad and did not participate in actual conflict, the value of their services cannot be doubted. T1t7671fy 1 - Q , 1 gi p as J f ,, X A 'Q S Growth of Knowledge The advance of learning was headed by Mar- vin Opler, Ruth Gates, Lawrence McArthur, and Liborio Scibetta. Their scholar- ly ability was indicative of the high mental calibre of this group. 9 Oratory ,ln order to demonstrate more clearly the value of public speaking, a contest was held in which Rosemary Dudley and Harold Fineberg were victorious. The art of the drama tlowered. Louise Caputo, who played in Colden Days, was a leader in this movement. 10 Art Art is usually primitive in such an undeveloped people. But the work of Robert Connelly, Liborio Scibetta, and l'hyllis Gale created a great deal of excitement and was awarded various honors. 11 Aviation Always eager to make progress in any field, these people endeavored to follow l-'ilot Chappelle. Wlieii he made an attempt to turn the country air-minded, his success was remarkable. 12 The Year Ends Thus the year passed, with those who survived the savage inroads of the monster examination becoming more fit to take their places in community life. THE BEGINNING OF SOPI-IISTICATION 13 Worldliness By the beginning of their third year, the colonists had gained much knowledge and experience. They had grown in their outlook on life. They were no longer children, but adults, and expected to be treated as such. Most of them had outgrown their childish and immature habits. One ex- ception to the general rule was Ilabe Lowe, who, like Little B0-Peep, could never overcome the blushing habit. Babels intimates say that itls partly sunburn, but that is only an excuse. Among the sleek, suave men-of-the-world at this time were Frank Reybold, Bill Gerber, I'larry lflirschberg, and Marvin Miller. 14 Honors Bestowecl Many of the members of the group were made honorary braves ol the neighboring tribes. The Ili-Y Club took into its group many prominent men, such as VVilliam Fischer, Robert Kotting, Rolf Flygare, Luther Mus-selman, Donald Shaw, Richard Seitz, liric Tornquist, Charles Riter, Xkfilliam Ley, XVilIiam Iflepp, .lohn Voss, Raymond Arnold, Williaiii Price, Har- old Slade, VVilliam Antozzi, and Francis lfhret. The Girl Reserves also honored many of our colony, including Mary Neal, Ruth Putnam, Aliene VVUII, Irene Fogelsonger, I-lelle Nissman, and Margaret Thomas. 15 Physical Prowess All the while that the colony was progress-ing mentally and socially, many members were in-dulging in trials of athletic skill. Fame came to 'lohn I-lennett, Donald Mcliillen, Earl Seick, John lfliggins, Flor- ence Southard, joseph Szur, l-lerbert Dreyfuss, and Charles Riter. 16 The Third Anniversary Day VVith the inimitable M. Luther Mus- selman presiding, junior Day could not help but be a success. Others who con- tributed with their enjoyable stage personalities were Louise Caputo, Marvin T zu enty-one on ,f .:,o,o.: .

V V .o tkzx Miller, Evelyn Kimmel, Eleanor Norton, Frank Reybold, Robert Connelly, john Voss, Rolf Flygare, and Richard Seitz. 17 One Effect on Journalism of the political machine of the intelli- gentsia was to make it more interesting and humorous. Leading journalists oi the country were at this time being bribed by that vast political intluence. Fiddle- sticks li. Drullard, the editor-in-chief oi' the notorious Oracle, was one ot the outstanding ottcnders. Through the work of Goldene jacobstein and her col- leagues, Rosalind Garten and Oscar lierstetter, this propaganda-stutifed maga- zine was sold to the unsuspecting public. The tone of journalistic morality was so low th-at it could not be heard, but its vibrations shook the very foundations of civilization. The Literary Division of this vast organization, aided by David Ballotin, lrma Cohen, Sylvia Rosenberg, and Lothrop VN-'illis did not help to raise the standard. 18 Art and Literature One of the greatest artists of the land, Charles Riter, contributed his bit toward the dissemination of knowledge of toxin anti- toxin for the prevention of diphtheria, to say nothing of the beautilication of billboards. Marvin Opler achieved some prominence as chief lexicographer fan oHice boy who knows all the words in the dictionary by their iirst namesj for The Oracle. 19 Not One Cent for Tribute ln spite of the Treaty of Peace ot' june 1929, the Regents again declared war about the middle of june. Some of the number were again left behind, but most helped to rout the invaders for the third consecutive time. 20 The Future A few short months, and new leadership in the republic would be established. Already the former leaders were packing their bags to visit new worl-ds and to conquer them in the name of Lafayette. The colonists would rise soon to new heights and new responsibilities. Tl-IE AGE OF POLITICAL DEVELOPMENT ln the year 1931, the colonists, now so far advanced, came into absolute control of the country. As rulers, their kindness and condescension toward the immigrants who had followed them to this Land of Promise were remarkable. All were delighted with their ability and justice. 21 The New Hall of Fame It was felt that there was a need for some way of preserving the memory of the great of this- period to serve as an inspira- tion to those who were to follow. A hall of fame was erected in which there were separate rooms for each type of achievement. The art work was done by Robert Connelly and Edward Plotkin. Their wide experience and talent were re- sponsible for their obtaining the commission. The fact that they did this work without charge, as all their other work has been done, had no influence on those who gave the contract. Those whose energies were noticeable in the room set aside for physical prow- ess were Oscar Kerstetter, -lolm Higgins, Earl Seick, Rolf Flygare, Frank Rey- bold, joe Szur, Tom Fallon, WVanda Carroll, and Kathryn Gibson.

Among those honored were Eleanor Krull, Marjorie Shank, Lucille Harwood, Elizabeth Root, Frank Finger, Ruth Gates, and Lawrence McArthur. Nor were the cultural achievements of this group neglected. The artists, Catherine Corcoran, Betty Cott, Phyllis Gale, Charles Riter, Liborio Scibetta, and Richard Seitz, occupied .a prominent place in this room. The writers were repre- sented by Gertrude l-lannon, David llallotin, Irma Cohen, Regina Elkes, Marvin Kimmel, Sylvia Rosenberg, Carolyn Sehimmel, and Donald Shaw. Busts of orators, their lips parted as if to speak, were also in this room. Among them were Lothrop Willis, William l-Iepp, Lawrence McArthur, Rosemary Dudley, Edward Robinson, and orman Moyer. One room, papered in dollar bills- and trimmed with coins, occupied an im- portant position. As one entered the room, he was confronted by the statue of that linancial wizard, Goldene Jacobstein, who had clone so much for the national magazine, The Lafayette Oracle. Near her were her valuable aids, Rosalind Garten and Oscar lierstetter. The contents of these rooms have been described in detail, as it is through its great men that one can determine the temper of this age. 22 The Elections of 1931 For the tirst time since they had arrived in this country, these people endeavored to form an organized government. Can- didates of absolute integrity and great ability were nominated. john Bennett, president, in his inaugural address, delivered to the hrst row in the orchestra, told of his high ambitions for the coming year. Aliene lfVolf, vice president, in her usual gracious manner, thanked her supporters in the election. Speeches were made by the other officers-: Lawrence McArthur, secretary, Harold Lowe, treasurerg Louise Caputo, marshal, Rosemary Dudley, poet, and Lothrop XVillis and Regina Elkes, historians. All promised that they would do their best in per- forming the duties of their respective ohices. 23 Finis Perhaps it would be more advisable to call this a beginning for those colonists about to leave these shores for exploration and conquest, en- riched by the four years they have spent in Lafayette.

Now this lad had so muddled his imagination with tales of lvanhoe that at last he felt that he too must become a knight, For one year he had wandered aimlessly, explored timidly, and accomplished nothing. Hill after grooved hill he had climbed, in Search of mysterious Treinta y Dos, only to discover that it lay cozily in the hollow of a valley, in sparkling spring after spring, he had splashed Qrather reluctantly, perhaps, but he had splashedj. He had survived that most awful of ordeals and in another year again made adven- turous plans. A trilie more composed, he exaggerated his dignity in his own eyes and felt profound disappointment at and surprise in the lack of sensation created by his presence. lnsignificantly, he had labored on, returning to his cottage to sulk at last because of a strange wound, inflicted to insure the absence of evil spirits-. Months elapsed, and once more, fired to enthusiasm by the valiant deeds of King Arthur, he re-named himself Don Juniaro and decided to set forth for the third time. All being ready, he let himself out the rear door of his paternal home one fine Saturday morning and what should first meet his earnest gaze but fellow nobles, H-artman, Mullett, l-lyland, and Goldstein, unmindful of mud and over- anxious to set foot in lists for the glory of lovely Alma Mater. Sending three sharp and lusty cheers into the ozone, he continued a short dis-tance and there found Don Elford describing enormous circles on terra iirma. Meanwhile, to his ears drifted the sound of the persuasive voices of Don Buscaglia and Donna Jamison, disputing the possibilities of the highly explosive chemical compound discovered by scientist Rothschild. Above their logic, shrilled the shrieks of the heart-sick Don Read de la Balcouia. Unable to stand such grief and at a loss for an effective cure, he determined to drown the depression into which he had been cast. After making his way, however, through a knot of townsmen, composed of Fricke, Feldman, Klein, Lenzner, and Loeser, who were discussing the current publication, he found Dudley Buck and Courtland Pierce in the crystal pool ahead of him. Desiring to begin his good work with their rescue, he pursued them. Then, suddenly, with great force and velocity, a small white sphere disarranged the D0n's helmet. Swaggering after came the cordial Erhart, Earl of Tee. Don juniaro had a dim realization of hearing celestial music, played by the lovely Donnas Hermann and Rosenthal after his encounter with the minute pillg but when he awoke, before him stood the Donnas Graf and Starks bearing shiny saxophones. In great need of respite an-d tranquility, lie resolved to betake him- self to yonder snowy castle and entreat the kind governess ffor such appeared to Fifty-nine ROOMS 2 AND 1 03.4 A A V 20 - -EO him the inhrinzwy and nursej to give him lodging for a time. Graciously received, he prepared to rest indelinitely but to his dismay the French, intermingled with scraps of Galsworthy's philosophy and Sarg's methods, was ceaseless. No peace to be had at this place, Juniaro tottered on. To his left, lay the stronghold Scholarship, and high in her turrets sat distinguished Don Lerch and Donnas Ridall and Spikmang before him paraded the humble, led by the excellent Princess Briggs, and exalted to the position of the Mighty for one day. Footsore and weary, at last he sought refuge in the West Wiiig of La Vieja Escuela, and with only lofty, ice-capped Regents Peak separating him from dignity and prowess, he sat down, patiently to work and wait.

Five hundred, new hands had been added as crew. The crew of the last journey had been raised to midshipmen. the midshipmen to sub- lieutenants, the sub-lieutenants to lieutenants. The commanders had their rank as before, as- did Staff-captain Gott and the famous Captain Mellen Ccaptain, commodore, admiral, and flag-ofhcer in onej. All hands assembled on September ninth for the official welcome by Captain Mellen, and the ship was under way in earnest. flt may be noted at this point that the activities aboard this ship, though strange to some doubting persons, are all a part of the bringing back of its cargoj Although the -duties and customs aboard were new to the crew, they per- formed the requisites in good order. ln these regular curricular activities, Eliza- beth Mesmer seemed to excel, for this sailor had no bad marks, average, 97.6. Marjorie Mcllntire and Sydney Levy were not far behind. The first stop was made at Vacation Point, where everyone had a few days' leave which was en- joyed to the utmost. Upon the return of the crew, duties were again resumed with great enthusi- asm. By the time the next stop was reached, the new crew Was quite thoroughly accustomed to the duties, and when the Lafayette was again under way. was showing results. Eleanor Hackley, Rita Stranahan, Geraldine Rothfuss-, Betty jokl, Betty Thompson. and Rosella Silverstein displayed special ability in the swimming line. Volleyball, the other sport open to the girls, produced two teams of great merit, namely-Violet: li. Pierce, B. Harries, K. Cragie fcaptainj, M. Strasmer, F.. Lenz, VVhite: F. lelackley. G. Zink Ceaptainj, D. Wolfortl, O. Pollard, B. jokl, Bergen, M. Kincaid, M. Saemenes, M. Taylor, R.. Reming- ton. Although no animals were aboard, kindness to dumb creatures was taught so that the sailors would be familiar with it in event of landing. A humane essay contest, conducted as .a test. was won by Marjorie Mclintire with Carroll VV'ay second, honorable mention going to Margaret Strasmer, Florence Culliton, and Iosephine Mercurio. Another contest was held to determine who best quali- fied for the pos-ition of watch. The cry All's well , almost the only one used on this ship, required a good voice. ,lane Davis received honorable mention. Kath- leen Frazer, VVilli.am Crage, and john Gibbs were others of the crew who com- peted. One bad storm occurred before the landing at Spring City. Harriet jackson, smallpox patient, the only man overboard, was quickly recovered, the others being vaccinated to prevent further casualties. Clear weather and .a calm sea brought the Lafayette home safe in june 1930, each of the crew being promoted to the rank of midshipman for excellence of duty performed. Witli Captain Mellen at the wheel for his twenty-nfth year, the Lafayette was launched in September 1930. VVith a slight wind, a deep blue sky, and a brilliant sun, the day did honor to the occasion. Gaily decked with flags and Sixty-three ' f' 5 J 2 iRsi - ' ' f iio' ' l C4-5 J lg ' color, the breeze lifting the stars and stripes and the violet and white, the band and orchestra playing, the Lafayette slipped down the runway from its summer quarters into the sea of Learning. lt was the beloved Captain's twenty-fifth year! ' The midshipmen, conscious of their new rank, had determined with the rest to make this trip the best ever. john Mills started out by proving his worth to the football team, as did Thomas 0'Rrien, who, with D. Buck, O. Howard, Wolfsoii, Cortes, I. Scherer, and Gilbert, was also of value to the swimming team. Eugene VVeir, Reed Lowe, and George VVeimert, midshipmen this year, promise to be the big men in the golf line, with lohn Mills as assistant man- ager. A. Guaroni joined the cross country group. All this time, the ship had been undergoing a complete overhauling and general fixing up. The fact that they were little disconcerted proved well the military efficiency of the sailors. Alice Costello, VValter lrlitzel, and Carroll X-Vay were noticeably in regular work- ing efficiency. Mary Francis Adair, Kathleen Craigie, and Elizabeth Pierce were a few of the outstanding ones in midshipman basketball while Eleanor lllackley, Elizabeth Pierce, Margaretha Weiilc, Kathleen Craigie, lane Irr, Mary Filbrick, Geraldine Rothfus, Alma Fenton. janet Cunningham, and Elizabeth Mesmer made the 'Violet and Wliite swimming team. One of the events most anticipated on board was the publishing of The Oracle, containing all the latest news in the most approved style. Nothing could be more entertaining, perhaps because the 1niclclies,', Glenn Witteij, Wfilliam Crage, Alden Fox, Elizabeth Mesmer, Ioan Mesmer, john Mills, Lester Spar- berg, and Carroll Way had fingers Cand brains? in the making. .lust before the leave, the Chris-tmas play, in which the midshipmen, Melba Morrison, Gertrude W1'iglit, Richard NVilloughby, XfVillard Bnrgher, and Marton Linder took part, provided entertainment for those aboard. During the last half of the trip, another contest for watch was held in which ,loan Mesmer, Kathleen Frazer, and Sydney Levy competed, but, much to their chagrin,the men of lower rank took first place. The landing at Spring City was enjoyed by all, and when the ship set out for home again, everyone, with the true Lafayette spirit, did his best to wind up the voyage successfully. There were jollifications in the form of a concert, besides the numerous dances, at which the orchestra provided attraction. and the French Club marionette performance in which f'middies Rita Stranahan and Elizabeth and loan Mesmer took part, not to mention the many assemblies. The chorus, the band, and the orchestra. including Jeff Klaiber, Norman Vifallas, Nicholas Panzarella, Conrad Papa, ,lack Meath, Francis Sherwin, Robert Simpson, ,Tames Ott,Dolly Xvhiteside, Paul Krans, Richard Greene, john Rowland, Alice Hogan, Althea Arnold, and Andrew llibson. brought pleasure to their audiences. Under the expert guidance of Captain Mellen, the Lafayette, best of its kind, completed another voyage with flag flying. The midshipmen of this year will be sub-lieutenants next year, then lieuten- ants. After that they will be on the high seas alone, captains of their own crafts. Success to them!

Refore the Masten football game, a lleat-lVlasten Rally was held in the school cafeteria. ln a previous issue of The Lafavyczrc' Year Bqolc, the Lafayette Club is char- acterized by the quotation, They also serve who only stand and waitf' This statement can by no means be applied to the 1930-31 Hi-Y Club. The members have been connected with every school activity. Members were on the football, basketball, baseball, track, tennis, swimming, hockey, an-d debate teams. This year, it was not a matter of standing and waiting but one of running and accomplishing. One of the outstanding features of the club was its splendid program which provided information on every subject of interest to the average high school stu- dent. The medal of honor for the planning of this line program goes to Howard Chappell, the club leader. Our schedule was divided into three main groups. in- cluding vocations, colleges, and youth. The talks on vocation concerned them- selves with the manner of choosing vocations and considerations of vocations to he chosen. lin considering colleges, we discussed the merits of the large and small colleges. ln the discussion of youth, the topic So Youth May Know , was taken Llp. ln reviewing our activities, we are again conscious of a successful year. ln the picture on the opposite page: Front row, left to right: C.

The members have worked hard and long, but their rewards have been very satisfying. 1n addition to the victories in the -debates, there has been a feeling' of good fellowship, and an enjoy- ment of comradeship which, in itself, is most valuable. There has been a remark- able development of debating power by most of the members of the group. Starting early i11 September 1930, the group made an intensive investigation of the chain stores. Material was secured from sources all over the country. The resources of the local libraries were investigated and studied. This voluminous mass of information had to be analyzed and collected into six short speeches. How well this work was accomplished was evidenced by the fact that in the December debates both the negative and the alhrmative teams were victorious over their opponents from liast High and Technical. The question was worded: Resolved, that the chain store system is- contrary to the best interests of the American public. The votes of the judges were cast in this fashion: Lafayette 19, East 6g Lafayette 15, Technical 10. The standings ofthe various schools after these debates placed Lafayette first and Bennett second, each having won two debates. At the opening of the second semester, the members of the -debate group started work on the second question of the year: Resolved, that New York State should adopt a system of unemployment insurance. The spring debates were held on March 26th. The Lafayette affirmative team defeated Masten by the score of 15 to 10. The negative team was defeated by Hutchinson, the score being 13 to 12. Lafayette was given a 3 to 2 vote by three of the Hve judgesg this indicates the closeness of the debate. ' The final standings of the teams are as follows: Won Lost Points Lafayette X 3 1 61 Bennett 3 1 56 'Hutchinson 3 1 52 South Park 2 2 54 East 2 2 54 Technical 1 3 38 Fosdick-Masten 0 . 4 33 In the picture on the opposite page: 1 1 -- Front row, left to right: N.

The attendance was so large that the club was divided into two groups. Students of second year French formed one group under the direction of Miss Agnew and met on Thursdays after school, alternating with the third and fourth year stu- dents under Miss Goldstein. The purpose of the French club has always been to accustom its members to the oral use of the language. To achieve this- goal, Miss Goldstein has arranged word games and a very interesting crossword puzzle. At Christmas time, the meeting took the form of a party. The junior group has presented two marionette shows under the direction of Miss Agnew. The lirst one, Le Prlif C11-afvcrwz Rouge, was so successful when it was presented before the French club, that Captain Mellen invited the performers to present it before the entire school in assembly. The latest effort along this line, entitled L' H-mimic Sans Pew, was- given as the main part of the program in the modern language assembly. The cast was as follows: L' Homme Sans Peur ------ john Meyers ' La Belle Ida, Fille du Comte de Hainaut - Georgiana Quaclcenbush Sa Dame D' lrlonnenr - - - - Elizabeth Mesmer Comte de Hainaut - VVilliam .Dolan Revenant - - - r - ????

Altogether this year has been one of the most successful years for the French club. ln the picture on the opposite page: Front row, left to right: G. Quaclcenbush, R. Stranahan, R. lflarder, M.

Sielcmann This tall, the German Club ot Lafayette High School was organized under the direction of Mr. Sielqmann. The meetings of the German Club were held every other Thursday after school, Any studentsttnlying second or third year German was eligible for membership, the president and vice president being elected from the members of the third year class. At two of the meetings, members of the faculty talked of Europe. Miss Ethel Davis of the art department gave a very interesting talk about her trip through Germany last summer and showed pictures, illustrating her trip. Miss Davis traveled through about nine countries in Europeg she was most impressed by the eliliciency of the Germans. The pictures which Miss Davis showed of German cities, old castles, and the University of lfleidelberg were most enjoyable. At another meeting, Mr. SlCliI'1'liZ1l'll1 sang two old German songs. Du, du lic.-gst mir im 1-lerzin and Heidenroslein',. l-le then told us about his most interesting and beautiful trip down the Rhine and also across Switzerland to St. Moritz, a beauti- ful winter resort. Our desire to travel in Europe and especially in Germany has been ineited especially by these tallcs by Miss Davis and Mr. Siekmann. This year, Friday, May 'tirst was set aside for modern language day. The German Club sang several German songs, among them Er lebe hoch ! or 'KI-Iip, hip, horray I , Mit dem l'feil dem llogenv, and Du, du liegst mir im Herzenf' We hope that by these presentations of the work of the clubs, a greater interest will be stimulated in the study of modern languages. ln the picture on the opposite page: A Front row, left to right: T..

The chess matches have been held in the Gerrans Building through the courtesy of the liulfalo Chess Club. Each team is composed of live men who are rated by the number of team players they have defeated. At the contests, the men with the corresponding numbers- play two games with each other, counting one point for each game Won. The following list comprises the totals for the lirst three games: lrlutchinson SM. Lafayette 4K5 East High 2, Lafayette S5 Bennett 6M, Lafayette SM. A draw game credits each side with one-half point. Despite the fact that Lafayette was defeated in two of the Hrst three games of the year, the players feel that they have a bright future. Richard Jolql, the only veteran, has been successful in retaining the position of lirst place. The others, however, have profited by their experience and threaten to win the coveted position away from him. - Al717ll3f.U4f0lH' f' i v rn fsf - ' Q 5 urn Y se.-i f I t i o r TI-IE CAST OF GREEN STOCKINGS First row, left to right: R.

This play revolves about an old English tradition that an uninarried elder sister wear green stockings to her younger sisters' weddings, One girl, after wearing green stockings at two weddings, invents a fictitious man who she claims is her fiance. The supposedly fictitious character proves very much alive. The play was given under the direction of Miss .lulia Wfechter. Marion Rooth and Richard Angell took the leading parts. Eugene Drullztrd had charge of the publicity for this play.

Acting jirrsfidafzf, XVilliam Cowles St?L'7'Cl'L'l'7'j', Leroyd Hoover T7't'UJltl'f'7', Norman Yates ' The purpose of the Junior Hi-Y club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character . Although the membership of this year's club is smaller than that of last year, the club has enjoyed a successful year. Each Wednesday evening, the boys meet at 6:30 P. M. at the West Side Y. M. C. A. for dinner. Usually there is a speaker. Some of the men who have spoken to the boys are Captain Mellen, Mr. Gott, Coach Wilson, and Mr. Meek. The club has also sponsored some parties, including a golf party and .a sleigh ride party, and activities in the gymnasium and 'pool at the Y. A few of the members went to the Hi-Y conference held in Medina. The club has two adult advisers: Mr. Wheelock, executive secretary of the Y. M. C. A., and Wade Harris, a graduate of Lafayette and a former president of the Lafayette club. All freshmen and sophomore boys of good standing in the school are invited to join the club.

Fox, Myers, R. Hirschberg During the year, The Lafayette Oracle has endeavored to record the spirit 1-he Oracle and activities of Lafayette. If it has succeeded, the success is Yea' due to the cooperation and ambition of the 'various staffs. ' ' The attractive appearance of Tlzc Oracle is due largely to the excellent work of the art staff. Throughout the year, an attempt has been made to unify the magazine. The covers, running heads, and tail pieces- have been 'related to each other and to the subject matter contained in the book. The fall cover, depicting a football team as seen from the air, was the work of Robert Connolly. The football motif was used throughout the number. Edward Plotkin drew the Christmas cover, which was a copy of an illuminated manuscript. The running heads a11d tail pieces employed the same design. The spring cover, drawn by Ruth Putnam, colorfully portrayed a man plowing a field. The designs on the inside of the magazine were fields that had been plowed. The art work in the yearbook represents a carnival in celebration of Captain Mellen's twenty-hfth .anniversary at Lafayette. Robert Connolly, who designed the new cover for the yearbook, has 'directed the art staff in the drawings for the book. The print- ing is the work of Charles Riter and Richard Seitz. There can be no doubt as to the value of the art work and .ability of the art staff as evidenced by the copies of The Lafayette Oracle published this year. Ninety-se1Je11 E- 4,1 J .1o..,,: , I D 3 f tX, XQA , .,.0 l The efficiency of the business staff is in a large measure responsible for the production of The Oracle. During the last three years, each issue has paid for itself through subscriptions and advertising. Successful advertising campaigns have enabled the staff to create a sinking fund, which will be used to defray expenses, if ever an issue is unable to support itself. The work of the advertis- ing staff has been worthy of praise. Goldene Jacobstein, a member of the staff for four years, has sold 55800 worth of advertisingg and Emil Swanson, a staff member for three years, has sold advertising amounting to 33675. The other members of the advertising and circulation staffs have also shown their school spirit in their untiring efforts. The literary staff has done its duty by obtaining, writing, and organizing the material for the magazine. Throughout the year, an attempt has been made to have the magazine seasonable. In the football number, the material centered about football and the fall season. It must be admitted that freshmen received much publicity in this issue, but we are prou-d to state that at no time in this issue did we .allude to Room 32. ln the fall issue, Ye Oraclettel' introduced a Who's Wlio which has appeared in the other numbers. The Christmas issue was very colorful with its numerous stories and allusions to the holiday time. In this issue were published the prize-winning essays. The features of the spring issue were the best s-hort stories and book reviews. Thus the literary stai has done its share to make The Oracle a worthwhile publication. We are pleased to think that the members of all staffs have worked together through a successful year. This vear The Laf-avcflc Orarlc conducted an essay contest, a short story con- The test, and two book review contests. one for the freshmen and one Lafayette for the other classes. The ess-ay contest was won by Gertrude Oracle Hannon for her essay, Hazmfirzg illcladzcs. David Markel, Ben- Confesfs jamin Davidian, Rosemary Dudley, and Pauline Miller were given honorable mention. Only the juniors participated in the short storv contest, which was won by llohn Myers who wrote Tlzc Pizlfvfvmf with a Saul. Richard Lape received honor- able mention. Robert McLaughlin was awarded first prize for his book review of The Man -of Property by john Galsworthy. Elza l-leilbrun and Regina Elkes were given honorable mention. This year for the first time, The Lafayette Oracle conducted a book review contest for the freshmen. The review of Lew NVallace's- Ben Hur, written by Elsie Huebner, was the winner.

Of course, the girls had been looking forward from the time the bas-ketball season was over. More than one hundred and fifty girls answered the call, which betters last year's score. Miss Quirk, coach, has been looking for girls who can compare with those girl players who are at the present time gaining newspaper publicity. It is said that the girl pitcher who fanned Babe Ruth would have a hard time doing the same to 'tllert Dauer or l'anky or others among this year's players. The object of any athletic news is not only to give information to fans but also to help others to discover the fun one derives from sports. Two girls who could tell a great deal about Lafayette girls' athletics are liva Kirk and Charlotte lvlangan, captains of both baseballuand basketball final teams. Like every other sport, baseball began with the usual 'four or five weeks of practicing. The days went by so rapidly that the girls soon found themselves in the midst of the studyroom team games. For three weeks in succession, the room twenty-four girls won. Although they were defeated, the girls of room eleven had a great many good players. Lois Spear, Lois Dryer, and Kay Gibson were c few of the outstanding senior players. As yet, the games between the two final teams have not been played.

On September thirtieth, Miss Tlredemeier called the upper classmen together and then the fun Qand workj began. There certainly is real joy in playing. just ask any of the girls who have played. One could not find a more enthusiastic group of all- around athletes than the girls who answered Miss Iil'CtlQ1l18iC1'!S call. We missed last year's stars, but the coach soon found and developed many expert players. Of course, co-operation is necessary in any game -and it would be hard to count the number of times the editor herself was reproved for playing an individual game. The games were organized in the usual man11er with six weeks of practice, four weeks of studyroom games, and then the play-off between the two final teams, the VVhite and the Violet. One may be sure that there was no listless playing in these games, lt was only after an unusually intense and very exciting series of games that the Violets were declared the winners. And oh what a glorious banquet the XVhite team gave the winners aftei the holidays. What fun we had trying to figure out Miss iil'CtlC1T1CiCl',S tommy-tommy joke. I don't believe it was a joke. Everyone will have to admit that the spread added to the fun experienced during the basketball season. Although everything was so jolly at that splendid feast, it was hard to realize that next year diierent girls will take the places the seniors now fill. It is not with reffret, however, that we shall welcome these new girls. VVe want to b share the joy of this sport with all other Mellenites. Come out for basketball!

Some of the other outstanding mermaids are Dot Twitchell of 25133 Elma Fenton, head-diver, i. e., head-firstg Eleanor lflackley and VVanda Carroll, who hold a friendly rivalry for chief breast-stroke swimnlerg and many other porpoises. After several weeks of hard and earnest practice, three studyroom meets were held. The seniors came out on top with the juniors not far behind. lVhe11 this series of meets was ended, Mrs. O'Hern. the coach, chose the Violet and VVhite teams which were also to meet in a series of contests. The big -day, the clay of the Iirst meet arrived, although without the blare of bugles and the roll of drums. lt was a red letter day for the Violet team. The second meet resulted in the Wliite team's winning the laurel crown. The Violets, not to be out-done, won the deciding meet the next week and were proclaimed the seasonys victors. It is quite a coincidence that, for the past four years, the Violet team has always been victorious at the end. Perhaps it will win again next year. VVe shall see! Next year we are looking forward to discovering many more good swim- mers among the Mellenites. Perhaps you are one and do not know it. Come out for swimming!

GIRLS' VOLLEYBALL The underclass girls did not respond very enthusiastically to the call of the volleyball coach, Miss- Nicholas. Fewer than forty girls turned out. The fresh- men, however, who did come, showed a fine spirit of Sportsmanship and team- work, the spirit of Lafayette. The use of the regulation small-sized ball this year made the game much more interesting than in previous years, Dot Twitchell and Marion Snyder, the captains of the two final teams, have been having well-fought battles in the lower gym each Tuesday. Volleyball is the sport that sends the girls off on their journey toward their gold HL . The coaches of baseball and basketball have found that the girls who have played volleyball during their freshman year a1'e the girls who are more willing to work and really enjoy themselves when they take up the other sports. This sport prepares- the girls for the more vigorous games of the second year. It is organized on the scale of six weeks of practice, four weeks of study- room games, and three varsity games.

The girls welcomed him with a smile, however, and pulled their coat collars up around their necks. Wheii asked what they enjoy most about our hike, perhaps some would say the outdoor, open-air feelingg others would say the singing and gossipingg and a few would say the hot hamburgers.

Two years ago, another Lafayette student graduated as you are graduating this month, and decided to enter the motion picture business.
