DEDICATION , Rare gifts of heart and mind rnade hirn an ARTHUR DETMERS outstanding and inspiring leader of young people. He added nobility to the profession which he deemed the greatest single taotor Principal l903-l9OG in the Welfare ot rnanlcind. ePhiiip Becker Goetz I N M E M O R I A M A TRIBUTE TO ARTHUR DETMERS By Philip Becker Goetz 0 The tradition of friendship and understanding which is so much a part of Lafayette today, has prevailed from its very beginning. lt dates back to the days when Lafayette was still known as the West High School and Mr. Arthur Detmers came from the classical department of old Central High School to be its first principal. 0 As principal, he established a close and sympathetic relationship between faculty and students, and founded customs that were later invaluable in the life of the school. He insisted that all athletes must do creditable work in their studies if they wished to be eligible for the school teams. Another valuable contribution was the morning assembly at which, in addition to brief talks, he himself offered and had presented music of the best kind. 0 But his constant concern was to raise all questions of discipline and conduct to the highest moral plane. Those who once knew his vehemence against dishonesty never forgot it. Pupils instantly caught his enthusiasm for high standards in thought and con- duct. However difficult it may have been for pupils to comprehend and adopt what seemed an austere attitude, they never forgot his tonic influence. And to the last days of his life, even after he had left Lafayette, he kept in touch with former pupils by cor- respondence and personal visits. 0 The songs he composed for Lafayette were as original as they were popular. Moral fervor never obscured his perception of the humorous and human side of the day's problems. But the ideals that motivated his career as man and principal are best em- bodied in his own poem, A PRAYER xx To grow a little wiser day by day, To school my mind and body to obey, To keep my inner life both clean and strong, To free my lips from guile, my hands from wrong, To shut the door on hate and scorn and pride, To open them to love the windows wide, To meet with cheerful heart what comes to me, To turn life's discords into harmony, To share some weary worker's heavy load, To point some straying comrade to the road, To know that what l have is not my own, To feel that l am never quite alone- This would l pray from day to day, For then I know my life will flow ln peace until it be God's will l go. ' We, the class ot l937, offer this Yearbook in whose pages are re- vealed the potentialities of a future citizenry, with the hope that the milestones herein recorded will be but a memory compared with the succeeding accomplishments ot the members ot our class.

The majority of them are on uhall dutyf' others work in the offices as clerks, messengers, and switch board operators. 0 In addition to its administrative activities the group is prominent in the social life of the school. Their affairs are always well planned and executed, this is doubtlessly the secret of their success and popularity. During the past year the Monitors have sponsored a Lucky Day Dance, on Friday, November l3, and a St. Patrick's Day Dance. ln order to raise money to meet the emergency flood relief demands, a very good musical show was presented almost on the spur of the moment. There is no doubt but that the Roller Skating Party planned for the spring will be as enjoyable and profitable as the other functions of the year. 0 Through the cooperation of all the Monitors, the minor mechanical details of academic life have been smoothed out, and the Lafayette Monitors have become of vital importance administratively and socially in the school life.

This was a completely new idea in the school, and had as its aim the cooperation of the faculty and the students on student problems particularly, and secondarily the creation of a device whereby information could be disseminated quickly to the entire student body. This would supply an expression of student opinion on matters concerning the students, inasmuch as the delegates to the council would have an opportunity to talk over im- portant subjects in their own home rooms before these matters were decided upon in a council meeting. 0 True, as yet the council has done little, but the important thing is that it has been formed. It takes time to get anything to a point where it can act intelligently and efficiently in a position of responsibility. We rejoice over the possibility of attaining next year the active cooperation of the students and the teachers on matters of importance to all Lafayette people.

BETTY IANE SMITH LOTS FRICKE Vice-President Secretary TANE GRAVES FRANK BIGGAR Marshal Treasurer SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS TO THE SENIORS OF 1937 0 Time marches on, another senior class approaches the fulfillment of four years of work and play in Lafayette High School with the greatly to be desired goal hitherto seemingly far away suddenly near. To each of you this is an experience never to be exactly dupli- cated for graduation means the closing of a definite part of your life. For a comparatively brief time it has been my deep pleasure to know you more or less intimately, to feel something of your aspirations and longings, and to realize that in the great plan for our school the class of l93'Y has earned for itself a distinct place. 0 You occupy a unigue position in Lafayette's history because you were still among those so fortunate as to have been under the leadership of Captain Mellen, a privilege you will cherish dearly throughout your lives. You will recall that inspiring poem, often repeated, which made you sit just a little straighter, your jaw set with a little greater determination, and stirred something in the depths of you toward finer and higher living- Somebody said it couldn't be doneebut he did it. 0 How we teachers hope and trust that the Lafayette spirit with its motto of Loyalty, Honor and Service has taken deep root in your lives so that somehow it will prove to be your guiding light in a world that will deal with you neither gently nor hospitably on many occasions! What a priceless heritage the first principal of Lafayette has given to you in his golden text, 'lBe Strong and of a Good Courage ! Surely Lafayette can count on you to carry into life the high ideals for which it has stood from the beginning under the guidance of these two great men. 0 Leavetakings are never easyg severing the ties which have so closely knit you with your school and friends cannot fail to cause a pang of sadness. But life must go ever forward. You leave behind only the temporal things, the spiritual endowment from your Alma Mater no one can ever take from you. With high courage and boundless enthusiasm you are facing a future of opportunity which has not as yet been your privilege. High school has now become a stepping stone to a clearer, finer view of the world ahead, standing at the pinnacle of secondary achievement you are aware, not of how much you have accomplished, but how little. Thus are you spurred to advance without hesitation. 0 Lafayette has tried its best to be a true friend to you by helping over the rough spots, rejoicing in your successes, and attempting to endow you with ideals and stand- ards to meet life's challenge. Steadfastly she will continue to be watchful of your interests, proud of the places you will occupy in the world of service, and happy when you find your best self in the doing for others. Lafayette's Honor is in your hands-Carry On! Sincerely your friend, 21 SALUTATORY ' We, the Class of 1937, are very happy that you have come to join us tonight. Class Night is a joyous occasion for us-one for which we have worked and planned for many monthsgand we are eager that you should enjoy yourselves as much in watching, as we shall in taking part in these exercises. ' ' At this juncture in our lives, there is a tendency to pause on the threshold of a new and different life, and to think of what we have done and what we are to do. Like all true thresholds in life, this one divides a world well-known, from one completely foreign. Somehow, one always feels that when he leaves high school, he will perhaps have another sensation, an actual consciousness of his own adulthood. But now, he begins to realize that never is he so wise as he honestly believes he ought to be. The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool. ' Yet, inexperienced as we are, we do not go forth unprepared. Mr. Gott and our teachers have worked with us, taught us, and guided us, through- out these four short years. lt has not been an easy task, but they have been ever willing to encourage us, and we thank them from the depths of our hearts. ' As the last class over whom Cap Mellen was principal, we continue to feel his influence keenly. Somehow, Lafayette's spirit is embodied in himp it is a living, moving spirit, and it will remain with us wherever we may go, in the years to come. ' Now when we are about to leave, we feel more than ever before that Lafayette High School belongs to us. Her traditions are our traditionsg her spirit is our spiritg her success is our success. Next year, another class will have taken our place, to receive this priceless heritage. ' A deep sense of pride fills us, that it is our heritage as well. Whether we are assimilated directly into adult life, or go first to seek more learning, this tie will bind us. Our roles in life will probably be as varied as the types we represent-for we are a cross section of American life, a group of typical young men and women-but this bond will always unite us. Although our paths may diverge into alien fields, the principles that will lend impetus to our endeavors have sprung from the same source, and will, we hope, lead us to the same goal-the successful achievement of our life's work. -IANE AUER 22 VALEDICTORY 0 One more Lafayette graduating class is ready to take its leave. But like all departing travelers, we must pause a moment before saying good-bye, to check over our baggageeto take stock of what we have gained through four years at Lafayette, and to reflect for a moment on what we are leaving behind. 0 Perhaps in no other four years of our lives will we accumulate so many things of permanent valuefthings which, in the busy routine of our school life, we have gained almost without realizing it. Most tangible of these acquisitions is the mental training which we have received, and which, after all, was the primary object of our being here. This will be of immeasurable value to us all, and its worth will be appreciated more fully as the years go on. To some, it will be the basis of further educationp to others, it will be an immediate means to a livelihood, to all, it will be a stepping-stone to a better under- standing of the world in which we will live. It should inspire us to further self-develop- ment, and enable us always to see more, feel more, and do more than we otherwise could. 0 Less obvious, but equally indispensable, are the attitudes which we have almost unknowingly acquired-attitudes toward work, toward society, toward government. We have been taught accuracy, promptness, thoroughness, in all that we do, a spirit of co- operation and fair play in dealing with othersg a recognition of, and an obedience to proper authority. Those ideals of Loyalty, Honor, and Service for which Lafayette stands will remain with us always. Finally, we take along an independence of thought, an open mindedness in forming opinions, and an interest in vital questions which we should never fail to exercise with the greatest diligence in this day of changing concepts. 0 While we are carrying these things with us, we are, paradoxically enough, also leaving them behind for future classes to share. But in leaving them, it is our perhaps vain, but nevertheless earnest hope that we have added something to the body of tradition and influence which has been our heritage here. 0 But now the true function of the Valedictory-literally, to say farewell-can be post- poned no longer. From time immemorial, men have parted from one another, and many ways of saying good-bye have been evolved, but there is no single way which at this moment seems adequate to express our feelings. To this building, its halls and class- rooms where we have spent many happy and profitable hours, we can say simply Au Revoir-'lTill we meet again, for here we may always return. Cur farewell to our classmates is a more serious matter. Our paths will soon diverge, and for many of us, they will never recross. The finality of this parting is beyond our control, and is best expressed by the lapanese word of farewell. Sayonara, let us therefore say to one another, Sayonara-l'Since it must be so. From you, Mr. Gott, and the members of the faculty, who have praised and blamed us, helped and endured us, during the last four years, we can, in a sense, have no parting, for you will always be with us through the influence you have exerted. Neither can we adequately express our gratitude for all you have done. Our appreciation will best be shown by the use which we may make of that which we have received. But for this severing of our formal relationship, let us use, for lack of a warmer word, the simple and sincere phrase of the Anglo-Saxonsf'lGood-bye. May God be with you. -RICHARD G. STONER 23 CLASS POEM Before us glides a river deep and dark, It is the swift and boundless stream of Life, Whose shadowed currents hint of storm and strife. Upon its bosom broad we launch our bark, Questing those enfabled shores which mark The golden land of fancy, lush and rife With sound of song, with shrill of fife Whose magic tones enchant and bid us hark. Silver white its strand before us gleams, As, like a white swan gliding, our bark sails Toward the fair harbor of our isle of dreams. The pearl-gray mist of venture thins and pales, Upon us bright the gold sun sheds his beams And, lo! That glorious land our advent hails. MARTHA-LOUISE WORTH MARIORIE R.

Thy sons to thee are ever loyal, Linked by bonds of White and Violet, And now we raise our hearts and voices, In praise of Lafayette. Our friendships here will all be ended, And into life we'll make our way, Our friendships here will all be severed, And fade as does the dying day. Yet what in life be fate or fortune, The ties of White and Violet, Will keep us loyal and devoted, To thee, our Lafayette.

Undecided WILLIAM DAVIS School 30 Graduated in Ianuary 53 SENIOR CLASS HISTORY PROLOGUE 0 Four voices were issuing from the portals of a popular meeting- place, drifting out clearly into the Tune night, one voice was timid and uncertain. This was the Spirit of the Freshman year. Another voice came loudly, as if it were trying to make itself heard above the others. This was the Spirit of the Sophomore year. Sophistica- tion seemed to be the quality of the third voice. This introduced the Spirit of the lunior year. Then a deep silence entertained the surrounding atmosphere when above the hush came a smooth- flowing, guiding voice, the Spirit of the Senior year. 0 These voices had drawn our scribe, who, by chance, was passing. l-le listened eagerly, catching every word that floated to his ear. He heard little catches come in the voices of the Spirits as they dwelt on memories of the past. l-le had been standing there, listening for only a few moments when the Spirits began to tell stories of bygone years. Without a moment's hesitation, our efficient scribe pulled out his notebook and jotted down everything that was said. The tales which follow are those which the four Spirits told. THE FRESHMAN SPlRlT'S TALE 0 A crowd of boys and girls timidly poured into the auditorium. But how quickly all fears were dis- pelled when Cap Mellen extended his most hearty welcome. During this first assembly M. Sauer, E. Walgate, and M. Olear quietly stared at the ceiling. P. Lape, K. Thompson, and W. Des- becker commented freely on everything. One of those very interesting 'lbig little adventure books entranced R. Bode and T. Allen. When classes and studies began, C. Brown, F. lnternicola and the athletic Coniglios, R. and L., varied routine work by indulging in muscle-building activities. R. Talley's rush to the optician's was prevented when someone explained to him that the malady of seeing double was caused by the Harris twins and the Bergman twins. Missing her nursery days, M. loseph amused herself in study by playing peas porridge hot. C. Gianfrancesco, N. Rochester and R. Rosenthal soon became widely known through their very extraordinary names. R. McLaughlin, G. McLeod and M. Unher had the distinction of being the shortest boys in the class. M. Millitello held this honor among the girls. What a disappointed lot of boys remained when S. Owen walked out of the male gym class she had been scheduled to by mis- take. E. Baldwin and C. Burton, E. Tillou and l. Rainey became pairs that grew more inseparable as time rolled by. The school's most enduring romance started when R. Fletcher asked l. Graham to go skating with him. l. Hedley's and R. Thomas's reputations for being late and absent grew in large proportions while P. Engel and C. Schendel skipped merrily into school every morning at eight o'clock. A mild crime wave was instigated when F. X. Scherer refused to divulge for what his middle initial stood. D. Glen, A. Faso and I. Lamb were known as the quiet but wise girls but when B. Skerker's ability for writing poetry was disclosed, they were changed to the wise girls! The scholarli- ness of the class was upheld by l. Auer, S. Golds- man, D. Maisel and G. Hellner. l. Goldfinger and C. M. Rood proved to be artists in the bud. Purring sounds issuing from human lips hailed the presence of P. Isaacs. Complaining bitterly of the fourth floor, R. Farnham and K. Ness were put to shame by the sweet compliancy of C. Amico and A. Mathias to bear all the knocks of a l'hard school life. All this was the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-seven in its infancy-but how quickly it grew up! THE SOPHOMORE SPIRlT'S TALE I Exhausted from a tiring summer of playing, a listless group of boys and girls entered the portals of Lafayette once again in the fall of nineteen hun- dred and thirty-four. Although they missed the friendly hand of Cap Mellen, they immediately accepted the hearty handshake of Mr. Gott. The class was greatly enlarged by new arrivals from other schools. From the School of Practice came such notables as F. Coward, R. Kendall, V. Dayman, R. Stoner, F. Severson and l. Teach. Also from the School of Practice came such well-known pairs as l. lohnston and A. Harries, l. Delitsch and C. Taylor, and B. Souter and R. Condon. l. Block decided to 54 SENIOR CL leave the Sem for La- fayette. lealous of the witticisms of l. Sanes and l. Dietrich, M. Lowenthal, A. Marino and B. Popell decided to start talking marathons fincidentally, they succeededl. Old friend Time perpetuated the friendships between j C. Beu and H. Webster, - R. Styers and S. Booth, M. Brownlee and M. Bryans. Even threats of sus- pension didn't retard the continual tardiness of E. Bronstein, M. Belasco, N. Rieger and R. Cunning- ham. The yolk of the egg she dropped looked pale compared to H. Burg's cheeks as she completed one of her duties as a pledge. N. Butler displayed her oratorical abilities to good advantage in the assembly. W. Feldman, E. Hengerer, H. Prince, M. Ailinger and V. Wallace were among the many who adorned the center hall between classes. l. Garvey, V. Paul, P. Ray, l. Simon and M. Volz struggled daily with Caesar while W. Bixon, B. Neal, S. Ambruster and F. Lennon struggled with home- work excuses. Harassing their teachers unin- tentionally, L. Graber, W. Wanamaker and B. Laubach slipped into class just after the bell rang. P. Siegal's, R. Zahno's and E. Minsterman's attitudes were definitely the contrary. R. Olsen and T. Mason were among the many girls who complained about carrying gym suits to classes but all in vain. M. Schaab, M. Schotmiller and L. Harrison looked on in astonishment while F. Kadey tried to count the cups in the trophy case. Everyone was guite abashed when the seemingly timid F. Pace, L. Groff and K. Howard gave reins to their speech. With the arrival of lune, exams and vacation the class of thirty-seven advanced a step. THE JUNIOR SPIRIT'S TALE I lt was perfect when the gang got together again in the fall of '35. H. Brown, A. Ellsworth, H. Curtin, l. Gronachan, B. Rosenberg, and l. Swanson were among the many swapping summer experiences. All this ensued while A. Raikis and l. Pfeiffer racked their brains searching for new puns to fire at that worthy competitor B. Oberdorfer. One day C. Glaser ran down the hall with A. l. Meyers in the chase. Reports have it that she caught him. The Lafayette hospitality was once again extended upon the arrival of I. Marinella, F. Herzenberg, I. Butler and C. O'Brian. l. Cino, B. Blue and E. Marriner eagerly answered the call of football. As the year ASS HISTORY rolled on the effect of Shakespeare was marked upon many. D. Cownie was heard to say, Stand and unfold thyself. Another Shakespeare en- thusiast was S. Scicolone. But break my heart for l must hold my tongue, was one of her favorites, Upon being questioned by a suspicious teacher, M. lewel was heard to remark, I am guiltlessf' l. Nichols, after performing some witty feat, astonished everyone by saying, Oh, wonderful son, that can so a mother astonish. This sudden interest in Shakespeare puzzled F. Munschauer, l. Kring, M. Aughton, and F. Fulcrut but they too, were soon affected. The crowd waiting for the elevator was larger than ever. Among popular riders were A. Scrobat, F. Skerker, G. Tisdal, E. l. Watson, E. Devlin and E. Worral. With the noble suggestions and help of such junior journalists as l. White, A. Shlickerman, I. Goldberg and D. Halterman, the '36 yearbook began to take form. Although we all have weak moments, the prize goes to A. Puleo who after sitting in a math class for four months, nonchalantly asked his teacher for a definition of Geometry. Second prize goes to l. Pellegrine who spent one whole lunch hour on the front lawn of our fair school looking for a four-leaf clover. When the new semester started, E. Sewell, B. Ballauff, R. Mills and M. Mansell resolved never to be late for school again. Aspiring to be different l. Kenyon, R. Stone, I. Briggs and R. Lowe wore white shoes in February. G. Swados startled all with her color combinations. Rumor circulated that N. Guenther preferred his mother's meals to those of the cafe- teria. L. lohnson and R. lohnston were often sighted buying candy from the official candy-seller K. Wagner. When several juniors were asked to dis- close their secret ambition s, these answers were re- ceived: D. Harrington wished to marry a millionaire fof course for lovelg H. Duncan desired to take a trip to Europeg R. Thomas said he would be content with a high school diploma, P. Finklestein, a deba- ter, wished to sway audiences as President Roose- velt does. With the valuable aid of V. Moehlau, D. Helmick, H. Morganstern, l. Ruhlman and M. I. Reeves, lunior Day was a huge success. With the start of Spring sports, K. Kent, l. Sardella, M. lreland and P. Rymell brushed off their sneakers and prepared for an enjoyable season. F . Buffa- manti, G. Fraterrigo and l . Labonney also began training for the contests to come. As Tune exams neared, M. Schoonover, R. ludson, l. Battel and E. Carberry tried to maintain confidence but dreams of the approaching summer filled the thoughts of M. I. Chaplin, l. Young and D. Dolce. And thus another year . . . fContinued on page 911 55 tt it T ' Our successors who represent the majority of the school and to Whom are entrusted the suc- cesses and responsibilities ot the future . . . CLHSSES it 1 1 t t 1 Y t N i t i t t WILLIAM L. MEESE TECKLA CEDEROUIST DONALD HODGMAN KATHRYN BRUNER President Vice-President Treasurer Secretary JUNIOR CLASS HISTORY 0 Early one mild September morning in 1934, a group of girls and boys stood open-mouthed before the trophy case. Mutely, they wondered if they would ever help to contribute to the multitude of cups, plagues, and ribbons placed therein, for they were freshmen. They, members of the Class of '38, then entered the auditorium, met their old com- panions, made new acquaintances from schools 56, 19, 3O, 52, 47 and others, and were greeted by the newly appointed principal, Mr. Gott. 0 A week later these 350 girls and boys were regu- lar students of Lafayette, Loyalty and Honor already firmly growing in their hearts. Service was quick to follow its brothers, several of this 1937 Iunior Class were soon participating in sports and extra- curricular activities. Teckla Cederguist and Kathryn Bruner captained the girls' volley ball teams that year, while Arlene Keeley, Martha Gram, lane Davis, and Francis Epstein assisted. Russell Weber and Kenneth Fox contributed to the ORACLE'S Wisdom Warbles Page. Eddie Maggio, now leader of a popular dance band, was a member of the school band and orchestra. Curtyss McTyeire and Ioseph Tripi were also members. The Dramatic Club boasted lean Kimmel and Betty lane Cole. Anne Cloak was an ORACLE salesman, while David Lazarus and Shirley Levine acted on the staff. O The 1934-35 freshmen had stepped off on the right foot, with true Lafayette spirit. II I Surprise, not awe, was written on the face of the Sophomore class in the fall of 1935. Its members had discovered that subjects grew more difficult, teachers were stricter as time marched on. But in spite of increasing worries, they entered into active life. The Lafayette Triangle had sprung into ex- istence in the later part of their freshman year, those sophomores who now helped publish it were Iohn Battaglia, Sally Levy, and lack Thompson. Ross Weston conquered seniors to win the Boys' Declamation Contest that year. I ack Boswell, Edith Devlin, Irving Rubin, and Bettie Robertson acted in two assembly plays, The Taming of the Shrew and The Romancersf' lohn Pooley publically an- nounced that he was a rabbit salesman. Sophomore girls to-enter the finals of the Girls' Declamation Contest were Helen Fackler and Suzanne Iacobs. About this time, Iiggsie and Eddie Lewin were song-typed Double Trouble , Nancy Mock, Page Miss Glory . The class was proud of Betty Chap- pelle and Betty Heinike, who were high honor students. III 0 Unfortunately, several friends of grammar school and freshman days were detained at this junction of the class's march toward higher education. But everyone smiled, struggled, and carried on. In December, 1936, the operetta, Lelawala, was revived. Iuniors participating in it were Robert Leland, Gerald Hansell, Ioseph Puleo, and Harold Rosenbaum. On the pennant-winning Debate team were Carl Sherman and Thomas Osborne. 0 Gordon Cohen gave Lafayette the distinction of being the first high school to have a scholastic news- reel. The reel which showed such stars as Clarence Cherry and William Karg, All-High football and basketball players respectively, entertained not only Lafayette but other Buffalo high schools. The Iuniors can well be proud of Gordon. 0 At the dedication of the Iohn A. Boechat Me- morial, Donald Hodgman acted as chairman and other prominent Iuniors took part in the program. 0 In March, the class elected its officers. Bill Meese was named president with Clarence Cherry a close runner-up. Teckla Cederquist was made vice-president by a landslide vote. Kathryn Bruner and Donald Hodgman were chosen to fill the offices of secretary and treasurer. I On May 14, under their capable direction, and with the help of Miss Spurr, Miss Haas, and Mr. Geib, to whom the Iuniors here express utmost appreciation, the class presented a May-day pro- gram. It is the class's wish that the success of this program satisfied Senior Class President I ay Heck- man's hope that the Iuniors will carry on the tradi- tions of his and former Senior classes. O Never fear, Mr. Heckman, the Class of '38 will keep the Lafayette traditions intact! 58 Vivian Alt Beverly I . Armbruster Irene I . Armitage Helen I. Arnold Eleanor E. Austin Iean G.

Beginning rather late in the year, the editors planned on publishing eight issues at a reduced subscription rate. 0 The first accomplishment of the school paper was realized soon after the first issue, when the four-page sheet, representing the students, issued a strong plea for a student council. ln the next issue, using Hearstian methods, the paper scooped the city student publications in printing the first and only picture of Dr. Bapst, and later beat most of the city papers in sending a reporter into the Delavan Avenue Tunnel. Another innovation was a column, Boos and Cheers, devoted to student opinion. 0 Early in Tanuary Triangletone News, moving pictures of fall sports' highlights, was first presented. This project, sponsored by the Triangle, was recognized by authorities as the first scholastic news reel ever issued. 0 The efforts of the Triangle were rewarded when the issues published before December were awarded fourth place in a national competition of printed high school papers sponsored by Columbia University. 0 ln the middle of the year there was a complete change of staff, and the last issues were published by the new group. They made innovations including poetry and Literarities. 80 L FA TTE THE DRAMATIC CLUB 0 The largest and certainly one ot the most prominent clubs in the school is the Dramatic Club. lts membership exceeds a hundred. This year there have been two complete casts tor each ot the major productions. The talent ot this group has contributed much enjoyment to the year's assembly programs by these presentations: excerpts from Much Ado About Nothing, HThe Romancersf' They're None ot Them Perfect, or l'The Spinster Dinner, and its co-drama, UThe Bachelor Dinner written by a student. 0 ln the outstanding production ot the school year this organization combined with the Music and Art departments in the presentation ot Lelawala. This lndian operetta played tor two nights and its success and beauty were indicative ot the thought, energy, time and talent expended on its production. 0 ln addition to these major productions the club, under the sponsorship ot Miss Wechter, was always willing to cooperate in the presentation ot skits advertising other school activities. The tollowing people served as otticers: lohn Altschatt, Presidentg Tane Graves, Vice-Presidentg Harriet Wile, Secretaryg Edward Whitman, Treasurer. 0 Regular club meetings featured plays, monologues, and skits presented by the students tor criticism. ln lanuary an alumni group was tormed by Harriet Wile, a prominent alumna. 81 Vergil Club Debate Team Top Row l.

Overfield, Vice-Pres. N. Butler F. DeGeorge, Treas. I The fourth year Latin class under the guidance of Miss Williams comprised the Vergil Club. At weekly meetings held in Room 26 the members discussed the classical deities, Roman myths and stories of the Fates and Muses .... Through this study of mythology The Aeneid itself became more vivid, and an incentive was given the members to continue this cultural study in college. 0 The Lafayette teams, coached by Mr. Gitin and Mr. Scott, emerged from the autumnal contests with two victories . . . the affirmative over Riverside l2-3 and the negative over Hutchinson 8-7. The subject was Resolved: That the lndustrial Union is preferable to the Craft Union .... ln the Spring our high hopes for an undefeated season were dashed with the defeat of the negative team by Bennett lO-5. The affirmative team, however, vanquished Grover Cleveland 9-6. The subject was Resolved: That Congress be empowered to fix minimum wages and maximum hours in lndustry .... The combined victories yielded a winning score of 34 points which placed us first in the city-wide debating competition. Top Row P. Finklestein T. Gsborn C. Sherman R. Stoner l. Heckman P. Lape D.

Gronachan, Vice-Pres. M. Unher, Sec. W. Wannamaker, Pres. C. Moore W. McLean T. Allen O The oldest and, perhaps, the most traditional organization of Lafayette High School resumed its meetings this year under the guidance of Mr. Wesley Nichols. Nearly two decades since its inception, the club has been singularly successful in its program this year. Tts purpose, which so eloquently expresses the standards and ideals of the organization, has been a paramount inspiration in the work of the club. This year the Lafayette Hi-Y Club has played host to many speakers from all over the world and representative of many professions. 0 The Lafayette Iunior Hi-Y, after a period of inactivity, was reorganized this year with the aid of Mr. Gott and Mr. Himmele. Its purpose and ideals were enthusiastically embraced by the Freshman and Sophomore boys, and through their efforts a number of worthy projects were launched. These illustrated the school motto, Hlaoyalty, Honor, Service. The club's program included various speakers who brought suggestions and ideas, which were educational and vital in the life of the students. The success experienced by the club this year insures a bigger and better organization for subsequent years. Top Row M. Bovarnik W. Shulte G. Littlewood W. Hagg, Treas. T. Laws E. Herman T.

O The German Club, under the direction of Miss Schulz, has been functioning since school began. Many interesting meetings have resulted from the efforts of the program committee . . . Mr. Carl Siekmann, a native German, gave fascinating details of the life and customs of his homeland. At the Christmas party, members enjoyed Mr. Siekmann's reminiscences of Christmas in his birthplace. German songs were the feature of other meetings .... The chief handicap of this club is that the language which it represents has the smallest registration in the school. Members, however, make up for this by their en- thusiasm. 0 Under the expert guidance of Miss B. Goldstein, French teacher, Le Cercle Francais was formed early this year. With its membership limited to third year students, the meetings of the club are held entirely in French. The entertain- ment for each week is planned by various members. At one meeting a novelty program was arranged. The popular game, Bingo, was played 'ten francais. The game proved a great success and fun for all. At other meetings French games, cross word puzzles, and songs held sway. The group hopes to attend some French plays for discussion at later meetings. Top Row L. Le Fever A. Mathias B. Heller A.

O The Girl Reserves, directed by Miss Graf, continued their good work of furthering friendly relations among girls. As lunior Members, they enjoyed the many facilities of the Y. W. C. A., spending much time in art, dramatics, and swimming .... Speakers at their meetings included Mrs. Wenzel of Lafayette High School, and Miss Schuzzler and Miss Litaker of the Y. W. C. A .... Lafayette was represented at the Western Conference in lamestown by Rose Coniglio and Angeline Benjamin .... Plans at the close of the year included an All-High Skating party and a play to be presented at Lafayette. 0 Membership in the Girls' Riding Club increased to forty this year, when, after much campaigning, boys were finally admitted to membership. The weekly rides begin at Runser's Riding Academy and go either through Delaware Park or cross-country .... On March 20, Miss Hartzell, faculty adviser, and thirty members attended a luncheon at Lorenzo's Restaurant. Dick Lowenthal pre- sented emblems in the shape of horses to those present ..... The success of this luncheon inspired President Betty Oberdorfer to plan a hayride, picnic, and horse-show for the club's spring and summer activities. H. O'Keefe N. Cohen B. Oberdorfer, Pres. D.

Every Monday the members meet in Room 205 under the supervision of Mr. Unger. Topics have been discussed covering Wirephoto, lenses, aerial photo, cameras, equipment, lighting, etc. . . . Gordon Cohen catches candid camera shots with his Eastman Kodak Duo 6.20, while Carl Beu, Sherwin Greenberg and David Lazarus achieve excellent enlargement results .... The Spring Exhibition featured the best work of the club. 0 ln '36 Miss Ethel Davis sponsored the founding of The Lafayette Sketch Club. At the Wednesday meetings the members studied and undertook to draw from living models .... The club suffered a serious set-back when Miss Davis was forced to leave school temporarily. However, in February Miss loslyn came to the rescue. Once settled in their new quarters the club began a serious study of anatomy under the tutorship of Mr. Plotkin. During the spring, trips were made to the parks and outdoor sketching was done .... The Club's aim eventual- ly is to build up a creditable art library. Top Row H. Kennedy F. Litto S. Muffaletto S.

Goldsman l 0 From Room 30 on every Friday afternoon during the late fall, winter and spring one might have heard a guiet 'tCheck and then silence. There is no doubt that the Chess Club under the sponsorship of Miss Allen, represents the guietest and maybe the most avidly intellectual extra-curricular activity in the school. ln addition to being silent during a match, the members are equally non-communicative about their competitions. Few know that they have played against many of the local school teams -Fosdick-Masten, Bennett, Riverside, East and Depew being among their rivals. O The Science Club members, students interested in increasing their knowledge of science, agreed that their feature study for this year would be based upon microscope Work. They have adhered in the main to this branch of scientific research, although occasionally they have branched into technical fields .... Recently the club visited the Spencer Lens Factory where they were shown the production processes of the microscope. At the Buffalo Museum they saw the World's only transparent woman, which was there on exhibit for a month during her American tour .,.. Several members have joined 'tThe World ls Yours, a radio club sponsored by the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D. C. This international organization broadcasts interesting programs weekly.

Now successfully established the Fencing Club is instructed by Mr. Schmidt on Thursdays. So far the fencers use only foil and mask and are attempting to master the rudiments of the sport. After sufficient practice in the technigue and finesse of this ancient game, the members hope to participate in single combat and eventually to demonstrate in assembly .... Studying one of the most complex of arts, the members will still be ha rd at work next year. LELAWALA 0 With a background of beautifully lyric music and some of the most effective scenery ever seen on Lafayette's stage, 'lLelawala was again presented on December l7 and 18. No expense, time, or effort was spared in the costuming of the cast or the training of the choruses, which included one hundred and fifty singers. For the excellence of the per- formances much praise is due Miss Weiffenbach and Mr. Kolassa, chairmen of the scenery-productiong and the directors, Miss Wechter, Mr. locoy and Mr. Kolassa. 0 The leading roles of father and daughter were sung by Albert Scialfo and Viola Moehlaug Eagle Eye, the scout who contributed so much humor to the operetta, Tohn Battagliap Klolowar, by Robert Leland, Marpeetopah, by Gerald Hansellg Major Wallace 1 the typical Englishman, by Toseph Puleog Wambebe, by Harold Rosenbaumg Wanyeeca, by Coreene Taylorg and the hero, Swanas, by Randal Stone. I ln addition to the humor given by the laconic, out-spoken and nasal-voiced Eagle Eye, the drilling of the English regiment brought a touch of comedy to this near-tragedy. The plot was based on the lndian tradition of human sacrifice to avert tribal warfare. The beautiful Lelawala almost lost her life in the observance of this superstition. 88 VIOLIN S loseph Tripi CConcertmasterJ Arthur Betts Catherine Burke Ralph Cox Robert Fierle Elmer Flynn Sasha Gilden Samuel Goldsman Elizabeth Gronachan Vito l..aBue Norma Merkle loseph Milazzo Olive Meyers Esther O'Riley LAFAYETTE ORCHESTRA Thomas Osborne Ursula Wilson VIOLAS Virginia Retzlat Robert Wilson CELLOS lulia Blackburn Carl Impellitier Florence Molien Marjory Underwood BASSES Helen Fackler Robert Wurtz F LUTES Alan Boyce Earl Scott TRUMPETS Donald Seeman William McLean Roy Forkner loseph Failla TROMBONES Eugene Chaplin FRENCH HORNS George Wilson Maurice Powsner PIANO Dorothy Helmick loseph D'Angelo CLARINETS Paul Cecala loseph Giovino Richard Whiting Helen Phillips DRUMS Robert Goodman Edward Fierle Neuton Gannon lohn Krull TRUMPETS Robert Anderson Merrill Faila Roy Forkner Archie Haley George Kener Bulkley Kozlow lohn Lester William McLean Robert Mohr Gerald Neidrauer Donald Seeman Fenton Strickland Russell Vara lohn Wright I ,. . it ,X ii.. .- .

A. Samson, M. A. Feine, C. Maggio and R. Young were about the darkest of them all. The result of a happy summer was ex- pressed by the constant humming of R. Dorgan, M. Cohen and D. Winfield, accompanied by D. Seeman's trumpet. How awed were the students when P. Fried, l. Neal, I. Overfield, F. DeGeorge, L Amos, E. Griffith, l. Ricotta, and N. Sciolino joined the Vergil class! The Lafayette spirit zoomed higher than ever during the football season, with such supporters as M. Burg, V. Reyburn, G. Trum and A. Scialfo. Then too, our worthy cheerleaders I. Edwards, A. La Duca and L. Taperman repre- sented us at every game. M. Wells, H. Wilkie, M. Iacuzzo and C. Krovetz chose basketball as their favorite sport. Soon the jeeping craze struck Lafayette, finding partisans on both sides. Lined up on the pro side were l. Hughes, R. Parks, E. Kirck, I. Rosenberg, I. Russell and A. Schnitman. Opposing them were V. Pocock, R. Gott, C. Handel and B. Hogan. Friendships between I. Hatt and H. lohnson, M. Harcher and I. Herriot grew stronger during their Senior year. C. Marcus, C. Boland, E. Corn and P. Wolf were among the many who spent their Friday evenings at the Elmwood theater. There came an avalanche of impromptu political stumping for class officers. After some very close elections, l. Heckman was elected presidentg B. L Smith, vice-presidentg F. Biggar, treasurerg L. Fricke, secretary: I. Graves, marshalg M. Worth, poet and then the historians. R. Levin was elected the editor of the yearbook. Sensations were caused when W. Bolster won bank night, V. Breneman threw the basketball 60 feet in gym and L. Unbe- haum combed L. Trevitt's hair in history class. Machine gun imitations became popular. Among the more talented at it were S. Levin, K. Hubbard and A. Siegel. The class was again enlarged with the arrival of E. and B. Sainsbury, P. Sitter, R. Ogsbury, L. Diamond and M. Roe. R. Thomas, after a year's absence, rejoined the class. A. Safir, T. Biltekoff and F. Epstein, feeling their efforts were being wasted in high school, surged ahead and joined the class of '37. A. Summers, A. Steen, T. Pettite and D.Diebolt were only a few of the many girls struck by the Robert Taylor craze. D. Hunter, R. fohnston, N. Gannon and R. Cox became ardent admirers of Simone Simon. One day, A. Goodman v. spent a whole study period telling S. Sarles and S. Keller how to borrow a father's car. R. Farrel and D. Shaw could be seen cantering in the park frequently. When asked what they thought of the strike situation, I. Dunbar, M. Hurley, R. Murphy, A. Hamister, and M. Hancock calmly replied, We bring our lunch anyway. A. Paglia rues the day when the Room ll girls discovered she could play Stardust on the piano. She has to play it every morning now while L, Lane, l. Nichols, and R. Kroll listen with far away looks in their eyes. Oral topics in English class bring monthly complaints from I. lanicka, K. Lang, W. Baker and R. Cohen. However, C. Burdick, C. Foster and B. Limer enjoy displaying their oratorical abilities. N. Masino, D. Mayer and P. McArthur were kept in a perpetual state of torment by the fact that while they struggled home every night under a huge stack of books, C. Oliver, E. O'Riley and H. Schuszler skipped merrily home empty-handed. Report card Tuesday kept B. Senia, R. Brown and R. Clowes in constant fear. L Wagner, M. Weill and D. Rogus greeted it with no alarm whatsoever. With a burst of Spring in their hearts, R. Richtend, H. Gearheart and H. Saemenes hopped down the halls followed by the disapproving murrnurs of R. Rohrbough, F. Calandra and I. Celistino. After four years of it, H. and L. Goldman tired terribly of answering in the nega- tive to, Are you sisters? P. Valeri tried his hand at the stage and C. Shultz tried his at poetry. Despite much pleading, he refused to show the poem he wrote to I. Grods. Casper Milquetoast had many apostles. Head man was D. Voisinet with A. Brucata, F. Buchala and V. Burg as assistants. M. Greenberg, R. Epstein, E. Foster, R. Wurtz and M. O'Lear got most of their spring exercise by playing with yo-yos, while D. Perry, R. Fix, G. Stagg and A. Scott really ran around for theirs. M. Wieland re- ceived his daily workout by chinning himself on his crutches. S. Walker, l. Tumino, R. Wells, and l. Walters spent their spare time indulging in paper wad fights which disturbed R. Gay, A. Lewin, and all the others in Room 3. W. Pongo could be found monitoring in the cafeteria every fourth hour where ice cream suckers were very popular with L Frazer, S. Holberg, I. Michael and W. Morduant. W. Palmer's debut to society was made during the boy's declamation contest. The Friday assemblies echoed loudly to the lusty singing of C. Poth, H. Pudaloff and l. Brown. Perhaps it was because they realized there wouldn't be very many more of them. And soon there weren't any more! EPILOGUE 0 The voices ceased. Three of the personalities vanished leaving only the Spirit of the Senior year. Vivid memories of life's richest years had been brought by the tales. Our scribe watched him as he rose, looked around wistfully, and then passed determinedly from the room into the world.

FOOTBALL TEAM 0 With the earnest intention of winning the Harvard Cup for Coach Hans Flygare in his last year of coaching, members of the '35 varsity sguad financed a pre-season training session to prepare for this strenuous campaign. The team seemed to have a promising future. A l'jinx, however, hovered over the sguadg for, in addition to the usual assortment of bruises and sprains, a few more serious injuries in the course of the season greatly weakened the defense of the Violet gridders. 0 The Violets had little trouble in crushing Grover Cleveland, setting a stadium record of scoring 25 points in less than nine minutes, and in defeating the revamped Seneca lndians l4 to 6. Handicapped by a series of injuries Lafayette lost to a strong East team l3 to O, and to South Park, l4 to 13. Qutplaying a stubborn Bennett team throughout the entire game, and thrice threatening the Bennett goal, the Violets nevertheless again met defeat. The outlook was very dark as Lafayette prepared for the contest with its traditional rival, Fosdiclc-Masten, however, the desire to win the last game of the season caused the Violets to down Masten 6-O. 0 Defeated by ill-luck, the team nevertheless fought for Lafayette under the direction of Hans Flygare. Next year the entire school will feel the loss of this able coach. 94 Top Row: L.Coniglio, A. Zacaggnino, E. Haywood, l. Murphy, l. Beardsell, D. Byer, l McTigue Mr Svennson Second Row: Mr. Woods, P.

The season started February 4 in a victory over Masten and closed March l8 with the All- High Meet in which Lafayette finished third. ln this final competition G. Stewart, F. Scherer, B. Williams and R. Neidrauer participated in the l6O yard Free Style Relay and in the 40 yard Free Style, R.

Murphy BASKETBALL TEAM 0 The schedule played this winter by the basketball team was unusually heavy and ex- citing. 1n brief the results of the twelve games were two defeats, at the hands of Riverside early in the season and Hutchinson, ten victories and third place in the All-High Contest. 0 The season started with the ever-popular and hotly-contested game with Bennett. This fray at once indicated the spirit and ability of Lafayette's cagers, it ended with a victory of 27-25 over these rivals. Then there followed three consecutive triumphs. The team defeated Technical 28-18, Fosdick-Masten 21-18, and South Park 26-14. 1n a close game ending in Lafayette's defeat, Riverside battled for a 28-23 victory. In the next games Lafayette returned to another and greater series of successes. From Burgard the team took a close game 22-21, it decisively defeated Seneca 37-16, won from Grover Cleveland by a 19-13 count, downed East 39-23, and gained an easy victory over Mc- Kinley 42-21. The conclusion of the season combined the bitter and the sweet, there was a defeat to the superior Hutchinson team 36-24, and a victory over Peckham 46-8. 0 This record with its many victories and few defeats is indicative of the ability and co- operation of the players and the excitement they afforded the school. 97 Track Team Cross Country Top Row R.

O The Cross Country team entered the 1936 season with average prospects. The boys started the opening race without any lettermen on the squad, but through hard work they were able to place behind Bennett with a score of 37 points. ln the second preliminary meet, with a score of 24 points, the Lafayette team led Technical and Hutchinson to the tape. The All'Hiqh proved more of a disappointment when the Violet Team placed titth with 140 points ....

They did fairly well with one win, one tie, and one loss to their credit. They joined this league after organizing and hopefully but fruitlessly waiting for the Buffalo weather to favor the inter-scholastic league. The team is composed of Walt Dalke, Dan Coley, Ted Brown, Lee McTigue, Allan Cole, lack Coley, and Clarence Cherry. I Of'all the athletic groups in the school the Golf Team receives the least publicity. This year the team finished in second place behind Riverside and Bennett, who tied for first place. Previous to the All-l-ligh Final there were two interscholastic meets in which Lafayette defeated Technical and Fosdick- Masten .... Bob Lowe with a score of 73 was on the All-High Team. The other scores in the finals were George Kener 86, Bill McLean 88, Dan Maisel 90, Dick McLaughlin 91, Gordon MacLeod 98, R. Davidson 96 and Bolo Bode lOO. . . .

Veterans who returned this year include George Stagg, Dick Fletcher, Dick Rosenblatt, Bob Lowe, Ralph Cohn, and Frank Biggar. Additions are Seymour Brooks, Tack Teach, Bob Leland, and Merritt Long .... The team has been practicing on the Dunlop indoor courts since the beginning of February. Their schedule will be made out early in May. 0 This picture presents the winners of last year's tennis tournament. This group forms the nucleus for the 1937 tennis team. Late in April temporary Violet and White teams were selected so that the practices might begin. Again the weather has been responsible for the delay in the completion of the first play-offs from the results of which the teams are selected. The difficulties in getting to the MacMillan courts, getting a court after arriving, present a real problem to the progress of this sport. Top Row M. Feine S. Owen L.

These new teams competed strenuously and the outstanding players were chosen as members of the Violets and Whites. Among the more prominent combatants were lune Wilcocks, Edith Poole, Virginia Tomic, Cecilia Kempner, Hazel Smith, Winifred Caple, Helen Gershel, and Myown Swain. ln the final matches the Violet team won 2-O. 0 Unlike those of previous years, the 1936-1937 Cheer Leaders were able to begin their antics immediately upon the opening of school' in September, for this year's cheer leaders were chosen at the end of their junior year, thus start- ing a new precedent. - 0 But this was not the only way in which Louis Taperman, Anthony LaDuca, lulius Edwards, and Salvatore Falsone were different from their predecessors. They hit a new high in cheer leading, both literally and figuratively. Not con- tent merely to lead the old cheers in the old way, they brought out the voices of many backward participants through their humor, and added many startling routines to their repertoires.
