The BEACON 2 256 interviews with 125' men. The num' ber of these men experts is constantly increasing. Among the wellfknown igures who lent themselves to this important work were: President Keyes of the Curtiss Airplane Corporation, Lieutenant Rowe of the Buff falo Airport, Dr. Koch of the personnel bureau of the Buffalo Medical School, Managing Editor Kirchhoifer of the Eve' ning News, and Chief Engineer Cushing of the Builalo General Electric Company. Many others, doctors, lawyers, contractors, engineers, ministers, and men engaged in all types of business gave their services. It was interesting to note that aviation led the list of desired vocations for later life, showing a strong Lindbergh influence. Law, medicine, and civil, electrical, and chemical engineering came next. In each high school where the campaign was put on, the Hi Y Club cofoperated in arousing interest and in getting out the boys, HUIIUR RIILL As the honor roll in this issue was late copy, the Beacon was unable to find or correct any errors which appear. The lists are printed exactly as sent into the oflice, without subsequent additions or cor' rections. 207 Charles Goodsole Candace Dollman Reta Wilcox Margaret Dorr Catherine Weast Mildred Mangano Mildred Hock Bernadine Wende Beatrice Fyffe Natalie Muench Elizabeth Spencer Janice Becker Charlotte Dugra Evy Ots Virginia Waldron Ethelyn Barnes Elizabeth J oline Gertrude Maischoss Harriet Pearson Alice Zella Cynthia Banks Jane Heath Josephine Whitney Louise Lane Irene Newton Janet 0'Neil Frances Nye Florence Histed Eth'el Huber Mary Brown Freda Gladner Lucile Aitken Marion Schwartz Dorothea Townsend Emma Reed 206 Paul Beck Raymond Knell Roswell Gardner Richard Grimn Arthur Goldberg Donald Dole Norman Miller Calder Gibson Bennie Mecklin Elmer Tropman George Metzger Rodney Reed Gordon Lohman Gordon ,Puls Loftus Becker Frederick Neuschel Harry Frank Kelvin Ferber Clark Suor Jack Murray John Andrews Samuel Erenstoft Byron Doll William Proffitt Charles Lyman Elmer Lewis Leslie Reid Roy Ziemer Edward Kreinheder Bennett Berkhausen 323 Lillian A.

24 The BEACON Stewart, 118, Wins Ticket Prize By Arthur D. Hawkins In the ticketfsale contest conducted for Peg O' My Heart, a sophomore home room, 118, came first, having sold eighty' four dollars' worth of tickets. The home room manager, Richard Stewart, won the individual Hrst prize by selling eighty' three out of his room's total of eighty- four dollars' worth. In assembly, February 29, Mr. Stamp presented the winning room with a pic- tureg its teacher, Miss Schelbach, with a theater ticketg and its aggressive manager, with five dollars and a theater ticket. Arthur Graham, of room 222, won the second prize of three dollars. Hudson Johnson, of 220, received one dollar for selling the third greatest amount of tickets. Peg O' My Heart was a hnancial sucf cess due to the fact that great interest was shown in selling the tickets. Much credit must be given to Charles Goodsole, business manager, and to his assistant, Charles McCarthy. The total receipts were over 52,300 of which about a thousf and went for expenses. Six hundred was presented to the school fund. The re' mainder will be spent to put on several plays in assembly during the spring months. Humorous Contest For First Time By Arthur D. Hawkins In the hrst humorous declamation conf test conducted at Bennett, the vote of the judges gave the first prize of live dollars to Jeanne Pilkey, second place to Eleanor Smith, and third to John Nolan, Jr. The contest was Mr. Rhodes' idea. 'ilt was intended to be a change from the usual serious declamation, and to give the more frivolousfminded students a chance to express themselves. This contest in all probability, will be repeated next year. Mr. Stamp hopes that more students will come out for the affair next year. If a greater number of boys are in the contest, the school will offer two prizes, one for the best boy, and one for the best girl. The winning declamation was given by Miss Pilkey with great histronic ability, Her First Baseball Game. The piece by Eleanor Smith deserves some comment. It was Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight, the old favorite. The interest of this selection lay in the fact that Miss Smith burlesqued the oldftime elocutionist in her manner of delivering it. She produced a laughable effect by over-emphasizing the dramatic gestures which habitually accom' pany it. The winner of the third place gave Levinsky at the Wedding, in Jew- ish dialect. Other contestants were Jane Besemer, Elsa Buerk, Stanley Fisher, Sunshine Ken- nedy, Bennett Keyser, Marjorie Swift, and Bernice Washington. Proof that all the selections were well given was given by the audience, which was very visibly inter' csted in the whole contest. F. K Campaign Aids 350 By George R. Metzger, Jr. Three hundred Buffalo high school boys enrolled in the recent Y. M. C. A. Find Yourself campaign. These were mostly upper classmen of Bennett, Hutchinson, Lafayette, and Technical. This campaign was one of the many ways in which the Y. M. C. A. organizaf tion seeks to serve the youth of country. In this enterprise, the upper classmen of the various high schools were given the opportunity of finding out for what life work they were suited, and of mapping out a course, with the help of experts, to attain their goal. Every boy who enrolled Hlled out a questionnaire covering all his intellectual, moral, physical, and spiritual interests. According to his preference, each was given an interview with a successful Buf- falonian. This was followed with a check' up interview with the Boys' Division secretary of the central Y. M. C. A. Three hundred boys enrolled and had
