Eagle Dress, Brooklyn, 'new moth. neiiace. GC N the old brick building in Court Street, was born the Central Grammar School. The surroundings QKQJZ? ll Q49 OJ X9 fu and the building itself were not conducive to C good results, but gradually, as time Went on and the 'school slowly expanded, many of the outside features which we now enjoy, appeared-first, the athletic teams, then, the various associations, and so forth. The removal to the present handsome structure gave a great impetus to everythingg and a few enterprising students, with the help of Prof. McAllister, succeeded in founding the Recorder, which has since proved so successful. Still, there was one thing lacking-a good school Annual, which might show in one publication at com- prehensive review of the entire school for the preceding year. Year after year passed, and no one seemed to be willing to undertake the arduous task. Year after year, We witnessed, with regret, high schools all over the country-some not half the size of our ownvgetting out volumes which reflected great credit and brought honor not only to the publishers but to the school itself. We saw also that, as a rule, these annuals were published by some fraternity. With these examples 4 The Red and Black. before us, we came to the conclusion that if the B. H. S. was ever to have an annual, it was our duty, as the senior fraternity of the school, at least to start the custom. The result is before you. We, therefore, have endeavored to begin the cus- tom. If, in succeeding years, it may seem best, we will gladly hand over The Red and Black to be published by the school at large. We have endeavored to have everything of the best, that our bool: might be truly representative of the red and black. We wish to thank Homer E. Keyes, '95, and I. Knowles Hare, '99, whose work, in no small degree, has helped to make the book what it is. In conclusion, we would say that we have expended our best efforts on this publication, and it has cost us both time and expense, but this we have willingly incurred, in the hope that it may add something to the fame of Old High-an object that will ever be the aim of GAMMA n DELTA PSI. cf-- ' Sv r af. s , 'KK-L' fylgx 'x Pj A KF i The Red and Black. 1IBoarb of llibitors.

N American city of 55o,ooo souls containing no high school and affording its people no opportu- nities whatever for secondary education at the public expense would be an anomaly in these days. Yet this was the state of things in Brooklyn in the year 1878, when the old Central Grammar School was formed. Great private schools had grown up, and smaller ones were appearing. These existed, for the children of the rich, while a knowledge of the three R's was deemed amply sufficient for the poor. The educated people of the city had paid for their privileges, and saw no reason in the nature of things why a system which had been good enough for them should not suflice for their suc- cessors. In the year mentioned a measure of economy was proposed and carried by the Board of Education whereby the upper grades of the grammar schools were consolidated under the name of the Central Grammar School and placed in the old building on Court street. There is little doubt that the chief promoters of this scheme, one of whom was Colonel John Y. Culyer, were far-sighted enough to see that eventually this school would develop into a high school, but no one of them had the temerity to say so then. Indeed, any man with nerve enough to have advocated the establishment of a public high school would have aroused a storm of opposition from press, and pulpit, and pew strong enough almost to have driven him from the city. So the course of study was modified somewhat by making a commercial course of one year and a general course of two years, which in its second year was open to graduates of the commercial course. History, English, and Mathematics were the 1-axfgz - 45,9 ' 4- r X7 'P 1 ' 1' 1 I .

This condition of affairs continued until 1887, when the courses were changed and extended-the commercial to two years, and the general to three. Latin, German, and French were introduced, and the high school flavor became slightly more pronounced. Still the general course led nowhere, so far as further training was con- cerned, and those students who wished to prepare for college were forced to get their Greek outside the school. Furthermore, only one foreign language was allowed at one time, and thus preparation for scientific schools was practically impossible. But'better days were coming. The long and fierce opposition of school officers and well-meaning but de- luded citizens had worn away. The demand for high schools was loud and strong. Almost in spite of itself the Board of Education had become committed to their support. A. large building for the girls had been built, and the boys demanded equal privileges. In 1891, under the strong leadership of Dr. John Griffin, the Boys' High School was established, and Brooklyn, at last, had a high school, and called it by that name. A. G. McAllister was chosen as its principal, and long and faithfully did he labor that the B. H. S. might be housed in its present handsome building. A classical course of four years was established, as well as a scientilic course of three years, while the commercial was improved. The school now entered upon a career of wonderful,prosperity. Mem- bership in its ranks became an honor much appreciated. Athletics began to flourish. A High School boy was no longer an object of scorn anywhere. Our old-time rivals, the private schools, awoke from their haughty indiffer- ence to find a lively youngster among them, claiming and able to win honors upon the field and in scholastic achievements. I I4 The Red and Black. On November 1, 1892, the B. H. S. took possession of its new building. It numbered. at that time about fi've hundred and fifty pupils. To-day it has nearly twice that registry. In the mean time two new high schools have been opened, and all are crowded. On December 1, 1890, Brooklyn had no high school officially recognized. On the tirst of March, 1897, she had four high schools, with a registry of upwards of 4,300 pupils. Such, in brief, are the facts of history, and in the light of events we think we may safely claim that the experi- mental stage is past, and the struggle for existence ended with a glorious victory for the plain people. The B. H. S. has sent her graduates to twenty colleges-and they are honored in every one. Scores of our graduates pass directlyifrom the B. H. S. to the professional schools. A still larger number enter business life. All these of all classes are ever ready to unite for the honor and defense of our Alma Mater. HARRY F. TOWLE. ,ag . 4.

I7 Che 1bigb School 1Recoroer. T the beginning of the year 1892, a numberof High School enthusiasts thought it time that so large an institution should have a paper to represent the literary work of the school. They met, and elected Charles G. Wheeler, '92, editor-in-chief, and Philip K. Mindil, busi- ness manager of the proposed periodical. On the edito- rial staff appointed by the editor-in-chief were D. Maujer McLaughlin, '93, Wesley Steele, '94, John Hackstaff, 'Q4, Frederic V. Bennis, '95, and Elliot G. Green, '93. The regular correspondents were E. L. Aldrich, S. Graham Lambert and William A. Thomas. In January, 1892, when the first number of The High School Recorder was issued, it was received with much interest by the school. The following April the paper was enlarged and a new heading containing a picture of the new school building was printed on the first page. Philip K. Mindil and D. Maujer McLaughlin were the next editor and business manager of the Recorder. Until thistime the paper had been without a cover 3 but the Christmas number of 1892 appeared with a very handsome one, printed in red and black. It was designed by Harold Hall. Every issue of the Recorder since has been adorned by this cover. In February, 1893, Wesley Steele, '94, and George E. Bissell, '95, were chosen respectively editor and business manager. The following fall the former was re-elected and Frederic V. Bennis was made head of the business department. In the Christmas issue, under this management, illustrations were printed for the first time. The Hzlgfh School Re- corder was, to the best of our knowledge, the first paper in United States schools which contained original draw- ings. Since then .scarcely an issue has passed in which work from a High School boy's pen has not adorned the Recorder pages. The example set by our paper in T893 has been followed by almost every scholastic paper. 2 l8 YM' Red and Blade. February, 1894, saw the Rcrorder under the editorship of Frederic V. Bennis, '95, with Fred. M, Gilbert, '95, business manager. When these two left the school for college in September, 1894, their places were ably filled 1 . 1 lgg WILLIAM R. QUINN. Mr. Quinn was unable lo be in Me Recorder plclnre an arcounf of sltlerzexx. by Homer Eaton Keyes, '95, editor, and Charles Edward Scofield, '95, business manager. Under their efhcient leadership the paper leaped to the front rank of scho- The Red and Bloch. I9 lastic monthlies-a position it has not as yet lost. Ed- ward Taylor and john Richards Timan were the next editor and business manager, respectively. In the fall of 1895, F. Monroe Crouch, '97, was chosen to occupy the editorial chair, and William Van Buskirk, '96, was elected to conduct the other interests of the Recorder. When Crouch, in February, 1896, declined a second term, Gardiner Sherman Dresser, '96, was chosen editor-in-chief, and Van Buskirk was re-elected. The staff under this administration was composed of the following: George W. Tong, '96, GossQ0,- William H. Harding, Jr., '97, Athletics,- Nat. N. Morse, '97, Class and Sociegf ,- J. Herbert Welch, '92, Alumni Noles ,' Ralph W, Hemstreet, '97, and Fred- erick A. Mills, ,Q7, Flashes ,- and Richardson Webster, '98, Exchanges. In June this staff met and elected for the fall term john Olmsted Dresser, editor-in-chiefg Albert H. Marckwald, business manager, and Frank M. Tomlin, advertising manager. The staff included the following: Walter Ewing Hope, '97, and Frederick V. Walters, '99, Goss? ,- Frank C. Gilbert, '99, Alhletzcs ,' Harry Westfall Redfield, '97, Societzes ,' J. Herbert Welch, ,Q2, Alumni Noles ,- Fred. M. Van Wicklen, '98, and Frederick A. Mills, '97, Flashesf Richardson Webster, '98, Exchanges. R. W. Quinn was appointed assistant advertising man- ager. The Recorder Association met in january, 1897, and re-elected the editor. In place of A. H. Marckwald, who declined to run again, Frank M. Tomlin was elected business manager. Robert W. Quinn was chosen adver- tising manager, and Valentine Lambert assistant in that department. The Hzfgh School Recorder has always held an enviable reputation among scholastic journals. Not a month passes that does not add another to the already long list of com- pliments from exchanges. The paper has always loyally supported the school and the school organizations. It is one of the oldest and best known institutions in the High School. THE CHAMPION DEBATING TEAM T he Red amz' Black. 21 Che 1bigb School Debating Society. IKE several of the other permanent organizations in the school, this society was preceded by numer- ous transient societies. In examining old files of the Reforder we read such names as Kappa Alpha, Alpha Phi, Thomas jefferson, etc., all names of societies that were formed with great enthusiasm, but which gradually dwindled away through lack of interest. When the Language class of june, '97, entered the school, several enterprising members formed a society which was named the Demosthenes Debating Society. This existed for two and a half years, changing its name from time to time to the Hamilton Debating Society and then to the Hamilton Literary Society. But, as in the case of all other societies, some certain object was needed to keep up interest. This came in the spring of '96, when a proposal was made by Poly to form an Interscholastic Debating League. A committee from the Hamilton Society met representatives from the other schools, with the result that the L. I. I. D. L. was formed. At the time there was another debating society in the school named the Henry Clay Debating So- ciety. This combined with the Hamilton Society to form the present High School Debating Society. 'A schedule was arranged by the league and a silver cup was offered as a perpetual trophy. In the first debate High School succeeded in defeating Poly at Adelphi Academy. Pratt then defeated Adelphi, and, in the final debate, High School secured the cup by vanquishing Pratt. In the fall the league was reorganized, and so far the record is as follows : WON LOST WON LOST High School ..... 2 o Pratt ..... .... I 1 Poly. .... ....... 1 I Adelphi .... .. o 2 22 The Red and Blark. Thus it will be seen that High School has never been defeated since the founding of the league, and that the cup is sure to stay within our walls for another year at least.

HIS is one of the youngest, but nevertheless one of the most successful of the school organizations, to membership in which all students of physics are eligible. Founded in the fall of 1896, by that inde- fatigable worker, Professor Hale, for the further study of electricity, the club has continued to hold the interest of its members. The meetings, held every second Wednesday, are made very interesting and instructive by lectures, experiments, essays, and debates. Besides, the club visits electric works, and other electrical objects of interest. Pre.vz'a'enf, - - PRO F. H A 1.12. Wcc-Presz'dmt, - - W M. DU N HA R. Secrefary, - - A BRA H AM WRC Hsrau.

HIS society was organized soon after the removal to i the new building, and, though the membership has always been small, it has done a large amount of work, chieliy due to the untiring efforts of Prof. Pattison. The most extensive thing the club has ever attempted was the exhibition of views in Association Hall, which took place in the spring of '96, for the benefit of the in- terior decoration of the school. Under the able leader- ship of Prof. Pattison, an interesting collection of views was made which, with the assistance of the various musical clubs of the school, rendered the evening enjoy- able as well as financially successful. ' So far, this year, the work has consisted principally of the making of slides for another exhibition to take place some time in May. The club has received lately an exhi- bition lantern, so that it is now in a position to give its own exhibitions. The officers and members are : Pre.vz'a'ef1i, - - XVILLIAM H. VVOGLOM.

NDER the name of the Alumni Association of the Brooklyn Boys' High School, an organization was formed January 2, 1896. Four years before, Howard Clarke, '90, had started the movement which led to the appointment, by the June, 189o, class, of a com- mittee to further the project. The following were mem- bers : Charles Curie, jr., George S. Anderson, F. G. Lee, H. M. Storey, D. Mattoon, and Howard Clarke. A meet- ing of alumni having been called in the school building, the following officers were chosen for the first year: Howard Clarke, president g Charles G. Bennett, first vice- president g William H. Reynolds, second vice-president, Charles Curie, Jr., third vice-presidentg A, H. Hammitt, treasurer, and A. J. Harrison, secretary. A constitution was drawn up. At the Alumni Association dinner last Christmas the following officers were elected: Howard Clarke, presi- dent, Theodore Vietor, first vice-president, Charles G. Bennett, second vice-president, William H, Reynolds, third vice-president, Edward H. Wilson, secretary, and Walter Hammitt, treasurer. At present the association numbers over zoo members. A number of prize com- petitions have been opened to the students by the Alumni Association, and in many other respects this successful organization has benefitted the school, 28 The Rea' and Bleak Grabuatee, 3une, 1896.

ANY and various have been the Howler organ- izations that have been formed with the laud- able purpose of encouraging the various athletic teams, but all have been short-lived, Even while they existed it was found extremely ditiicult to get the me-m- bers out to the games. With this experience in mind, some progressive spirits attempted, in the fall of '96, to form a permanent organ- ization which might always be depended upon to appear at all of the games. The present society is the result, and it is but fair to say that the yelling has been much improved since its formation. The members are distinguished by a red and black band around the hat, with the letters B, H. S.

At present it is one of the most successful in the school, and it can be truthfully said that every bit of its success is due to the untiring efforts of Prof. Edwards, who has directed it ever since its organization. The club was formed in the fall of '91, Strange as it may seem to High Schoolians at present, there was then the greatest opposition to the new club froma certain quarter, and not only was Mr. Edwards not allowed to use the school building and piano for practice, but even the name of High School was denied. But under the name of the Lenox Club it was a great success. It met around at the houses of the various members, and fmally succeeded in mastering an operetta, entitled The Flower Girl, which Dad had written especially for it. The operetta was produced with great success, first at the Criterion and afterward in Mount Vernon. Certainly the opposition must have been very beneficial, for never, since that time has the club accomplished so great results. When the fall of '92 came, there was not enough ma- terial to form a good club, and the scheme was for a time abandoned. One year later, however, a reorganiza- tion took place. Then, for the first time, the club was allowed the use of the auditorium and of the piano 5 and it started in to prepare another operetta by Mr. Edwards, entitled Romeo and Juliette. Parts were assigned, and the project was well under way, when, suddenly, the whole thing had to be given up because of the enforced absence of Mr. Edwards. However, the club had great The Red and Blank. 35 success in singing at concerts, including several engage- ments at the Academy of Music with such celebrities as Sousa and Sandow. The seasons of '94-'95 and '95-'96 produced excel- lent clubs, although no attempts were made to produce operettas. This year's organization is in no wise inferior to its predecessors. One innovation has been intro- duced. The soprano voices have been dropped from the club, and it is now practically a chorus of bass and tenor voices, the altos singing the higher tenor parts. The club has already filled a large number of engage- ments this season, and continues to receive others for the future. i The members are : BASSOS.

At first the association, like other newly established organizations, did not have many members, but it gradu- ally gained recognition, and later on, after a speech made by President Griffin to the school, the membership was largely increased. It was not, however, until the fall of '95 that the asso- ciation was really successful financially. A new consti- tution was then adopted, and the following officers elected: L. S. Herrick, presidentg Wm. Van Buskirk, vice-president: G. S, Dresser, secretaryg and Edw. Goetting, treasurer. The fall of 1895 saw a well equipped foot-ball team in the field, and the base-ball team of the following spring was equally well provided for. The Athletic Association in 1896 began the year with far brighter prospects than it had ever had before. The base-ball team, captained by Lambert and managed by Jadwin, met with great success in the field, and at the close of the school term the members of the association numbered about 125. At the annual meeting of the Athletic Association the following new officers were elected: President, Stanley P. jadwin g Vice-President, F. Montgomery Van Wickleng Secretary, W. E. Hopeg Treasurer, Professor Aldridge. Herbert Weir was elected captain of the '97 base-ball team and A. H. Marckwald manager. The track team, a comparatively new organization in the B. H. S., began the school year with a brighter outlook than previously, under the captaincy of Herrick and the managership of Walter Gierasch. The close of the year '96 found the Association with over zoo members and with S300 in the treasury. Ath- letics have come to be regarded as part of the school pro- gramme, and the members of the B. H. S. realize that the teams representing the school are worthy of their aid. The Rea' and Blank.

ASE-BALL. has been identified with the history of our school since the founding of that institution, and has ever been one of the most popular branches of athletics, for there seems to be a powerful fascination about a base-ball game with its green pfield, its sharply- defined ff diamond, its bright uniforms of the players, flashing in the pleasant afternoon sunshine, its crowd of spectators, its opposing factions yelling for their respective schools, and last, but not least, its fair devo- tees whose eager eyes outshine the bright school colors which they proudly wear. Although in early B. H. S. times base-ball did not re- ceive the support which was its due, yet we have always had a tea1n, and that team has always reflected credit upon itself and its school, for out of sixty-four games on record, fifty have been won by Brooklyn High School--a percentage of 790. ' A characteristic feature of earlier High School base-ball history was the B. H. S. Base-ball League. This was a league of class teams, organized in 1892, for the purpose of stimulating class spirit, of bringing the classes into closer relationship, of encouraging healthful pleasure and recreation, of establishing a friendly regard for school athletics, and especially of developing material for the regular team. This f' League existed during the seasons of '92, '93 and '94, and was very successful in accomplish- ing its object. But, towards the end of the season of '94 interest in the League began to relax, and conse- quently it was not reorganized. We earnestly hope that the near future will see a revival of the B. H. S. Base-ball League. The most famous base-ball team that ever bore the red and black standard to victory on the diamond in the history of B, H. S,, was the team of '93, This illustrious 62 The Red and Black. nine lost but one game during the entire season, and de- feated our near rivals, St. Paul, Poly, Adelphi and Pratt. The best played game that probably ever took place between two preparatory schools occurred at Eastern Park May 6, 1896, between St. Paul and B. H,,S., when the former defeated the latter in a hard fought contest by a score of three to two. This game was witnessed by several professionals, who positively affirmed that it was the hnest amateur playing that they had ever seen. Al- though we lost, there was honor in that defeat, And now, in concluding these scattering remarks, we would be unjust to High School history if we forgot to mention with gratitude the name of Prof. Vincent Al- dridge, the father of High School athletics. For a number of years Prof. Aldridge has encouraged athletics, and particularly base-ball, by his good advice, personal assistance and invaluable services as coach.

The Rea' and Black. 65 jfOOt-45811. F all the sports carried on at the B. H. S., foot-ball is the most successful financially. Larger crowds seem to attend the foot-ball games than any other branch of athletics, and for several years past it has been the revenue from the foot-ball games which has, to a large degree, supported the other teams. The annual game with Poly on Thanksgiving Day is always witnessed by thousands of people, and, hence, yields a large revenue. The game was started, as far has High School is con- cerned. in the fall of 1890, when an un-uniformed team essayed to win fame for the B. H. S. Not much was ac- complished, since barely eleven men could be found who were willing to practice. However, under the guidance of Professor Aldridge, the movement grew until it cul- minated in the champion team of 1893, captained by J, K. Powell-undoubtedly the finest eleven High School has ever had. The memory of that undefeated team will go down among the traditions of High School. Among the most creditable victories were those over St. Paul, Irving Club and the Poly 'Varsity. The next year most of the players of the ,Q3 team had graduated, and so the team was not quite so successful. Although, under the able captaincy of Captain Clark, all the teams in the league were defeated, yet High School lost the championship by playing a post-graduate in one of the games. Perhaps the greatest credit of that year's team belongs to Manager William H. Harding. Before that year the attendance at the annual Poly game had been limited to a few hundred. In this year, however, through the hustling of Mr. Harding, between tive and six thousand people witnessed the game at Eastern Park, the effect of which has been clearly felt in all the Poly games since. The next year found in High School an absolute dearth of material, and, doubtless, Captain Lauer deserves more 5 PROFESSOR VINCENT ALDRIDGE.

The prospects for the team of '96 were very bright. Seven of the '95 team were still in the school, and there was an abundance of new material. Moreover, the ser- vices had been engaged of one of the best coaches in the country, Billy Ohl, Cornell, '95, It is but natural, there- fore, that we should be somewhat disappointed astwe chronicle the fact that out of seven games played only four were won. However, with Walter Gierasch, '99, as captain and Frederick V. Walters, '99, as manager, we may hope that the '97 team will bring the pennant where it belongs--within the walls of the B. H. S.

At the interscholastic games, held in May of that year, High School and St. Paul's School were tied for third place. In the fall of 1895, under the able captaincy of Leander S.

FOR WOMAN'S WEAR SPUNGIA NAPKINS, THE SPUNGIA NAPKIN is the formula of Dr. A. S. Higgins, of Brooklyn, who found in his extensive practice that an AN'I'lSl-1l l'IC A11soRnEN'r NAPKIN was absolutely necessary to the health of countless women, and was OF PRICELESS ADVANTAGE in the dangerous complications incidental to the menstrual period. and to expectant mothers at the time of confinement. TO ALL WOMEN it is HEALTllb'UI., Com-'onrmsLE, and C1.1cANx.v, and to those engaged in professional or business life, traveling, or boarding, a necessity. AN EMINENT SURGEON once said that thousands of women now sick and tired out at regular intervals could be strong and well, if at the menstrual period they would use a bandage or napkin that was AN'r1sm-Tic and An- soum-:NT, and that is what - SPUNG-IA NAPKINS ARE, as the following testimonial from one of tl1e fore- most Eastern physicians shows: From Prof. Willard H. Norse, l'l.D., P.B.S.Sc. I have none but the highest praise tor that most notable article, the SPUNGIA AIISURBENT NAPKIN. It is a grand nine- teenth century triumph of sanitary science. and is bound by all the laws of common sense to be popular. I do notlike that trite expression, t' It meets a long felt want, but it is most certainly extremely appropriate in this instance. The want has been felt by ALL NVOMEN for years, and now it is perfectly satisfied. I trust to find the popularity of the arti- cle on the increase from now on, It cannot be otherwise. As soon as it is seen it commends itself. It is its own best recommendation. It stands upon its merits, and it stands firml . I rgcommend the Spungia Napkin to my Jnatients and friends, and, moreover, I am willing-I shoul be glad, in- deed-to write on every Spungia Napkin, the words, Recommended, advised and endorsed, by Yours Sincerely, ' W. H. MORSE. With each dozen Spungia Napkins is our patented Suspensory for holding the pads. Place the pad on the Suspensory by slipping the ends under the tape, and adjust in the usual manner. Destroy when soiled. and replace with a clean one. IT IS ACTUAL ECONOMY T0 USE SPUNGIA NAPKINS. AT ALL Davcoons AND DRUG STORES. 30 cents per dozen. Samples by mall, post paid. 40 cents per dozen.
