On the backward side is the year’s work, and the- benefits or lack of them that it has brought. If the student has not obtained one hundred cents on the dollar benefit the year has been completely wasted. After all that is the reason for being in school, the pursuit of knowledge and preparation for life in business or other fields. That idea is rather trampled under and lost sight of in the rush of other amusements. Not that Latin, or higher mathematics confer any direct benefit, but they do train the mind to the cold, analytical way of thinking which is 30 apt to be of value in later life. It will be found that the seemingly useless drudgery of day after day memorizing figures, places, dates and names had its purpose not only in disciplining the mind, but in preparing one for the appreciation of things going on about us, which would otherwise be meaningless. The forward side is the future, and what it holds. Naturally everyone graduat ing, who is not thinking of college or a post graduate course intends to set out and conquer the world of business. As for college it would be wise for everyone contemplating higher education to analyze himself or herself. Thousands go to col lege every year, who have no business there at all, and either fail to make the grade or do not succeed at their chosen professions, which are unsuited to them. This mistake costs much in money and discouragement. It is also a fact that the business world is overcrowded with college graduate doctors, lawyers, economists, etc. Not that it is overcrowded for those of real ability, but so many of these graduates are of only ordinary ability that they are unable to compete with others in their overcrowded field. It may be argued that those who go directly from school to work have little chance for advancement. This however is not true. Application, observation and natural aptitude count for more than a higher education in any line. While sentiment, regret for parting friends, and such thoughts will rule the mind of the graduating student it will be well to temper it with a common-sense estimate of the situation. Wm.

WRATTKN Director of Physical Education Mr. Wratten, who is now completing his third year as Physical Director in our school, has won the good-will and affection of those who have come in contact with him, by his cooperation, sportsmanship and fine morale. He has extended the girls’ activities to include interscholastic soft-ball, interclass basketball and track. Rear left—Mgr. Kck. (Say, Fuest. Barnes, Heftier, Schiller, 7 n h Wratten.

The Football Season The 1932 football season was the most successful that Attica High lias enjoyed in years. The first practice was called the second week of school and about thirty candidates reported, among whom were many veterans and some likely-looking men. The team was built around the veterans Barnes, Gav, Schiller, Ranger, Cook, Coe, Dahlgren E., Dahlgren C., Riehert and Stephens, a newcomer who ably filled the shoes of Milt Snyder. Through a mixup in the schedule Perry was scheduled early in September instead of in November. The game was surprisingly well-played considering tin fact that the teams had only about two weeks practice. Perry finally squeezed out a 13-7 victory. After losing the next game to Lancaster which was, by the way, one of the strongest teams in Western New York, we gained well-earned victories over Warsaw, our ancient rival in the county, Avon, Oakfield and Alden. The final game of the season was dropped to the strong Medina High team. The score was 19-12. (Continue ! on page 32) 31 Die Football Season—Continued Many of the team will be lost by graduation, but Coaches Wratten and Patterson look for a strong team with the return of such men as E. Hahlgren, Sierk, Maxon, McCormack, Ortner, Hettler, Phillips, Gol-ombeck, Barrett, Johnson, Kichert and Whaley. The schedule for next season includes Warsaw, Oakfield, Medina, Akron and Alden. Following are the scores of this season’s games: Attica ! Perry 13 Attica 7 Lancaster 26 Attica 13 Warsaw 0 Attica 14 Avon 0 Attica 13 (lakfield 0 Attica 27 Alden 6 Attica 12 Medina 19 Teacher, Mrs. Sands—“Robert, why does Missouri stand at the head of mule raising of the United States ?” Bob Myers—“Because the other end is dangerous.” Bob Hettler—“1 could go on dancing like this forever.” Clara L. Griffith—“Oh, no you couldn’t, you’re bound to improve sometime.” Prof. Anderson: “Your teacher complains that you never work. How about it, Gordon?” Gordy Barnes—“That woman’s crazy. Ask her what 1 was doing the second Tuesdav of last June.” One day not long ago the teacher asked Jim Schum in English IV class, “James, is trousers singular or plural?” “Singular at the top, and plural at the bottom,” answered Jim. 32 Rear left—Coach W ratten, Schum, I let tier.

Although Attica lost the first three league games to Perry, LeRoy and Warsaw, they won the last five games for second place in the county. 83 The Basketball Season—Continued The Varsity won 11 games and lost 6. The outstanding games played were those with Oakfield, Warsaw, Amherst-Central and LeRoy. The high scorers for Attica were Ranger, Barnes and Hettler. Points for Attica 461—Opp. .‘192. The Junior-Varsity of 1932-33 had a successful season winning 9 games and losing 4. Attca scored 196—Opp. 188. High scorers were Kneller, Jensen and Schum. Boys’ Interclass Basketball After the league games are finished there is much interest in the selection of the Interclass basketball champion. The Seniors were the favorites this year. The Juniors lost in a very well played game by a narrow margin. The Seniors next had to play the Freshmen who were beaten badly. This gave the Seniors the Clip for four straight years. The two centers Ranger and Hettler were evenly matched for the tip off. The Senior players were Barnes, Ranger, Rykert, Schum, Schiller, Fuest and Nichols. Boys’ Intramural Basketball There was much competition in the Boys’ Games this year, with six teams in the contest. Rykert, Myers, Spink, Fuest, Vickery and Coe were the leaders, with Rykert’s team, “Dill’s Best”, winning all the games played. Girls’ Intramural Basketball The Girls had a very close contest during their Intramural games. Helene Werner’s Flashlights won over Bertha Mcllvenna’s Panthers in the final game to decide the championship. The six teams in this league with their leaders were: Werner—Flashlights Barnes—Bees Mcllvenna—Panthers Darling—Cadets Bey—Flashes Clark—Stragglers Girls’ Interclass Basketball In tin Girls’ Interclass games great excitement arose. The Seniors were the favorites in these games. The final game between the Seniors and Sophomores was won by tin Sophs 6-4. The Senior team was composed of Conway, Geise, Fenton, Dorscliied, Mcllvenna, Werner, Schum, Clark, and Simons. Track The 1932 Track team although not winning any meets gave a very good account of itself during the season. The lettermen on the scjuad were Schiller, Snyder, Young, Wagner and Phillips. Schiller collected the most points garnering in the neighborhood of 40. Although this year’s team will be handicapped by the loss of Schill and Snyder there is a wealth of new material to carrv on for the school. sk'm 'ST £7 ' z A m r 4, i y k.‘j 1 • j .'

The Baseball Season The 1932 Baseball season opened on schedule with Attica showing a flashy hut inexperienced team. Coach Vratten s hopes were running high as the team took the two opening games in fine style. Just as everything looked its brightest for the boys the old Jinx, that has been following the Attica Baseball team for years showed up again; Xond-ricker, the star pitcher for the squad, was hurt and was removed from the team for tin remainder of the season. This greatly hampered tin spirits of the team and from this time on they dropped one game after another only to revive their spirits to down their old rivals, Warsaw, by an overwhelming score of 18-0. The team although losing five out of their nine games, showed great progress under the capable guidance of Coach Wratten.

It is composed of the four class presidents, four class representatives and the faculty advisors. Social hour and assembly programs are under the supervision of this body. The Council selects the various student managers for the extra-curricular activities and also passes on the awards to be given participants. Pa re n t-' feac h e rs Assoc ia ti o n The end of the 1932-33 season finds the Parent-Teachers Association well established in our community and with an enviable record of achievement. The following officers were elected at the April, 1932 meeting: President—Mrs. W. 3. Healy Vice-President—Mr. F. E. Anderson Second Vice-President—Mrs. L. B. Seirk Recording Secretary—Mrs. John Turrell Corresponding Secretary—Miss Hilda Sturm Treasurer—Mrs. Alma L. Wheatley I)elegate-at-large—Mrs. Louis Shreder Chairman Membership Committee—Mrs. Robert Gaffney Chairman Social Committee—Mrs. F. W. Hettler Chairman Welfare Committee—Mrs. John Kneller The outstanding event of the year, we believe to he the Oratorical Contest sponsored by the Parent-Teachers Association. Public Speaking is so important today, the Association hopes to make this contest an annual affair so that the students of the high school may have the benefit of training in this art. The prizes of five dollars and two-fifty were won by Lois Slater and Shirley Pletzker, respectively. A Mothers’and daughters’ festivity was inaugurated in the form of the annual bridge luncheon, which last year was served by the Class of ’35, directed by Miss Locke of the Home Economics Department. This was a success both financially and socially. The annual reception for the faculty was held in the gymnasium in September and was an enjoyable success. The I’. T. A. has cooperated with the Attica Welfare Association in providing milk for the children of the public and parochial schools, has contributed to the Red Cross and provided comfort bags for soldiers at Christmas. Our meetings have been well attended and our programs interesting and instructive throughout the year. After each meeting a social hour was enjoyed and refreshments served. It is the earnest desire of the Parent-Teachers Association that every parent-father as well as mother join with us this year so that we may realize even more fully our ultimate aim and purpose—the welfare of everv child in Attica. Alumni Upon looking over the Alumni we find many interesting things. First, because they left us more recently, let us glance at the class of ’32. The salutatorian Margaret Johnson (Johnny) we find working hard to take even higher honors at Geneseo. Carefree Norman Myers (Norchie) is said to l e taking life more seriously and striving for a degree in the Commercial Department of Grove City College in Pennsylvania. Cheerful Mary Shreder (Shrede) is now gracing the halls of Buffalo State Teacher’s College with her smiles. It has been brought to our attention that Donald Lubha has received many honors in contests in which he has participated in the Rochester Business Institute. Peaceful Violet Welker finds it hard to keep her mind on her training with so many young internes passing thru the halls of the Buffalo City Hospital. We hear that Mary E. Conway is thinking of matrimony. Well we all wish her much luck and a great deal of happiness. Ernestine Batzold (Ernie) is coming along famously at Mechanics Institute in Rochester. She has been elected for one of tin; sororities and finds herself very rushed for time. As we continue our review we see the members of the various classes. Elnora Fuest ’31 is attending a business college in Buffalo and will soon be just another “Stenog”. Clayton Wood ’31 can be found most any time at Hoy’s undertaking parlors. It must be admitted that “Clat” will look very dignified and sedate as he takes us all on our last, peaceful ride. Magdelene George ’31 is struggling along at Geneseo hoping to come out at the head of her class, as has always been her goal. George Petz ’29 completes his course from Bryant and Stratton Business College this summer. Owen Bennion ’29 is now in his senior year at the Buffalo University. Paul Wilder and Milton Snyder are progressing very rapidly at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. There are a great many more members of the Alumni. Many of whom we have lost track of, due to such things as marriage, positions in far away localities, and other various things. As a last item the members of the class of ’32 offer their congratulations to Alberta Krull Kendrick, mother of the first baby of the class. C. K. ’32. 40 Rear Left: Schiller.

Decorations were in charge of Margaretta Merle. The gym represented an outdoor winter scene, with lighted fir trees in each corner. The punch booth was arranged in the form of an igloo. Johnny Murdock furnished the music. Eleanor Gerhardt. Senior Class Play “OH PROFESSOR” Characters Jake, the school janitor Miss Frederica, assistant to the Dean Dr. Aristotle, the Dean Michael Pemberton, returning from Paris Prof. Percival Courtwright, in need of fun Jimmie Anderson, in need of a friend Patricia Patterson, also returning from Paris Mile. Fifi, belonging to Paris The Students Fluff ............................... Bertha Jean Belle ...................... Eugene Schiller Helene Werner Gregory Brady Gordon Barnes James Schum John Eck Bertha Bichert Margaretta Merle Lucille Fenton Mary Agnes Petrie Eleanor Gerhardt Catherine Simons On Friday evening, March 31, we presented “Oh Professor”, a farce in three acts. In this play, Michael Pemberton, a young millionaire, changed places with Percival Courtwright, a professor of astronomy, at the Brixton Academy for young ladies, and found Patricia Patterson, the arrogant heiress, with whom he had fallen in love while in Paris. Mile. Fifi followed Pemberton from Paris and was determined to marry him for his money, but was sidetracked by Courtwright to whom she transferred her affections. Much humor was added to the play by the arrival of Jimmie Anderson, who masqueraded as Emily, but whose disguise was discovered by Fluff, with whom he had fallen in love. Dr. Aristotle and Miss Frederica furnished another dashing romance and .Jake, the monetary-minded school janitor, added a dash of comedy. The four girls, Fluff, Bertha, .Jean and Belle, not only shocked Miss Frederica to death but dragged Jimmy, in the guise of Emily, off for a game of basketball. The play was very well received by a large audience and the class with their faculty advisor have justly merited the credit which belongs to those who maintain high standards of play production. 4:{ Assemblies Assemblies for the year 1932-33 were varied, consisting of three special numbers put on by the School Assemblies Association, several musical assemblies, and others put on by the students themselves. The first speaker was Mr. Zimmerman, who gave a very fine lecture on deep sea diving. 11 is fascinating stories, well illustrated by an exhibition of sea shells, as well as his personality, made him a favorite with his audience at once. Mr. Frank Carideo, a familiar figure to football fans, spoke on good sportsmanship and good football. He told several amusing anecdotes about his teammates on the famous Notre Dame team. Dr. Barker gave a health lecture, which was found to be valuable as well as interesting to all who heard it. At one of the musical assemblies, .Jimmy Tchappet entertained us with a composition of his own, for which he found a very appreciative audience. Verne Janes played the piano several times, while the assembly sang popular songs, and the school band, consisting of Tony Barone, John Kneller, and Ethel Ernst with saxophones, Clarence Dunn and his clarinet, Raymond Mcllvenna’s drum and John Eck at the piano, gave a program of popular music, which incidentally made them popular. The amateur performances were excellent this year. At Thanksgiving time, Mrs. Ranger put on a tableau, with readings by four students. Mrs. Sands gave a Hallowe’en program, with a costume parade by the grade children that caused much laughter. The French II class, under Miss Sturm, gave a play in French, in which two American soldiers (Gordy and Red) found some difficulties with that language. The Latin classes also gave a play, coached by Miss Stewart. The parts of speech were dramatized, and came in wearing costumes of the ’80’s, very appropriate, since Latin is a dead language. Miss Kartevold’s Math Club gave a play “The Radical Dream”, which was decidedly fanciful. The girls especially enjoyed the fashion show, by the homemaking department, which displayed everything from beach pajamas to evening gowns. Miss Hewe’s history classes, in their play, showed how modern salesmen would fare in Olympus, the home of the gods. The commercial classes, under Mr. Drumm, gave a minstrel show, which is always looked forward to. Mr. Wratten’s classes gave an exhibition of dancing, pyramid building, exercises, boxing, wrestling, and tumbling. For the Christmas program, directed by Mrs. Ranger, the grade children entertained us with plays and songs. The seventh and eighth grades together gave a play, in which the old fashioned costumes were very realistic. “Depression or no depression”, the assemblies this year have been unusually good, and a real treat to all hard-working students. Ruth Gramm. Social Hours During the school year the students enjoyed several social hours. Dancing started at three o’clock on Friday afternoons under the chap-eronage of Misses Stewart, Sturm, St. John and Messrs. Drumm and Lohrman. The music was furnished by the musically talented members of tin student body. Thrifty Idea Scotchie Clark—“And hoo do ye sell the eggs, laddie?” Clerk—“Twenty-six cents for the good ones and eighteen cents for the cracked ones.” Scotchie—“Awell, ye might crack me half a dozen.” “Dar” Reiner (to Ruth Gram)—“Do you know that 1 am on a special diet now?” Ruth Gramm—“What foods are you allowed to eat?” “Dar”—“Well right now they are feeding me tomatoes so I can ketch-up.” 4.r Jokes He Thought of That “And upon what income do you propose to support my daughter?” John Eck—“Ten thousand a year.” Father—Oh, 1 see. Then with her own private income of ten thousand— ” John Eck—“I’ve counted that in.” “I thirst after knowledge and learning,” said Greg Brady, as he was walking down the street with his girl the other evening. Greg had just explained that he had decided to enter college after graduating from high school. “1 thirst most after salted almonds,” she added, with a wistful glance at a candy store across the street. Professor Anderson (speaking on ’phone)—“You say that Robert Fuest has a bad cold and will not he able to attend school, today. Who is this speaking?” Voice (hoarsely)—“Mv father.” He Knew Bugs and Boys Marshall Reuman and Oliver Young decided to play a trick on Mr. Lohrman. They caught a butterfly, a beetle, a centipede, and a grasshopper and glued parts of the four insects together to form a queer looking bug. Presenting it to the scientist, they asked him to identify it. He examined it, looked at the anxious boys and inquired, “Did this bug hum when you caught it?” “Yes, it did,” said the boys, trying to keep their jaws straight. “1 thought so,” said the scientist with a smile, “and it looks like a humbug to me.” Miss McCumber—“Salads, we learn are as refreshing as spring showers.” Shirley Ames (to next door neighbor)—“And, if you happen to be sitting next to the youngest of the family when he sails into the salad course we are sure that salads are spring showers.

At first we were in high spirits hut by the end of the day we were very bewildered. Finally we became accustomed to the routine and order was restored. Soon afterwards our class officers were elected and they were as follows: President—Gordon Barnes, Vice-President —Vernon Sewell, Treasurer—Helene George, Class Representative— Arlene Darling. During the winter we enjoyed the Freshmen Party. Winter passed quickly bringing spring in all its glory with exams; and after we Freshmen had struggled through these, vacation was welcomed. When September came most of the Freshmen became Sophomores. Better acquainted with the method of procedure, everyone buckled down to work and our election was soon over with Charles Wayman as President, Helene Werner as Secretary, Paul Stroll as Treasurer and Gordon Barnes as our Class Representative. During the winter many important events occurred such as the Sophomore Party, and the John Rogers Production, “Patty”. Spring and exams slipped by and vacation overtook us. The next Fall we became Juniors and some of us showed by our actions that we really had absorbed a little knowledge. The members of the class chosen as officers were: President—Mildred Sierk, Vice- President—'Myra Sierk, Secretary—Mary A. Conway, Treasurer— Mary A. Petrie, Class Representative—Gordon Barnes. After much discussion we decided on blue and silver for our class colors. We held a bake-sale with the proceeds of which we bought our class banner. At Easter time we were very much occupied with the decorations and other preparations for our Junior Prom at which everyone had a grand time. Next came the Junior Play, “I Will, I Won’t” and it was a great success. With the last of May came the Junior-Senior Banquet with James Schum as toastmaster. After a hectic week of exams many Juniors went home wondering whether or not they would still be Juniors next term, and then blessed vacation came. With the opening of school practically all of us were overjoyed upon being entitled to the name—Seniors! Our class officers were: President—Helene Werner, Vice-President—Eugene Schiller, Secretary—Helene George, Treasurer—Gordon Barnes, and Class Representative—Lucille Fenton. Hallowe’en was celebrated by a Senior Party. On December 23 the Annual Senior Ball was held in an outdoor winter scene. Following that came the John Rogers Production of “Up in the Air”. Then on March 31 the Senior Play, “Oh Professor”. Eventually we came to the time of joys, hardships and special privileges while getting out “The Torch”, our year book. With great expectancy and high hopes of the successful fulfillments of the closing social events of our high school life, we look forward to the day of days, “Graduation Day”. Helen Soanes.
