Memory, in the years to come, will be the dis- I tant echo of these footfalls. i Our joys have been real and although Time I passes his mantle of forgetfulness over many - things they will hold before our gaze in years to Z come their conscious pleasures, so prized in all l entirety. It is the sincere wish of the stai that this book n will assist in small measure to retain the memories 1 of your past here at Central and that those mem- ! ories will ever be too dear to be forgotten. 1 THE EDITOR T I

June 21, 1939 PHALAN FOLLY Page Three B TTLE OF CENTURY CARDED Strong Vincent Defeats Zions In Great Game Riding roughshod over a team that was supposedly their superiors, Strong Vincent High School's Bit- ing Kernels defeated Coach William Shay's Academy Zions on Strong Vincent High School field yester- day afternoon by a score of 100 to 0. Piling up a huge score and hit- ting the Academy line with every- thing but the bleacher seats, the Red and Black paid uP 501119 Old scores that have existed for more than 15 years. A great crowd saw the game with Cheerleaders Shanor and Wallace performing brilliantly on the sidelines for Strong Vincent. The only casualty of the cruel fray came in the fourth quarter when Linesman Illig attempted to run between the goal posts. Both his shoulders were fractured. Because of a deficit in track funds, Professor Shanor arranged this football match for midsummer and was most fortunate in secur- ing the Zions as they were booked to attend a tea-party at Miss Adam's Tea Room, MARRIAGE LECENSES Marriage licenses, issued today at the courthouse by Register Agnes Chacona, find former Centralll-Iigh School students figuring prominent- ly. fThis story was placed on the sport page as a prediction that John Carney can arrange for several fights in his arena within the near futurei.

Dean and Wallace Ready For Opening Gong ln Audi Ring By Sport Despondent In one of the greatest fistic en- counters ever arranged for a local ring, Killer Howie Dean and, Guillotine Wallace will trot their! prowess before a packed house in Carney's Auditorium tomorrow night. The Battle of the Gentry is carded for 8:15 o'clock. Both the contestants were hope- ful on the eve of the contest. I am in perfect condition, said Wallace, after pounding desks at Central High School for eleven years. Dean, the pride of the East End District, assured himself a victory. Nobody else does. You know, he said, after studying Caesar, one learns how to lick an entire army. That's just what he'll have to do to- morrow night as Wallace packs a mean wallop in either lunch hook. As there is intense feeling in both camps, Hamot and St. Vincent's hospitals will remain open all night to care for the injured. Dan Han- ley also has a contract. ull- I i '1.Q' .

He l l Pasadena Awaits Great Sectional Clash in Stadium By Sport Despondent Dissolute Press fSpecialJ Pasadena, Cal., June 21.-All Pasadena is anxiously awaiting the opening whistle that will send a strong Erie, Pa., team against the Pasadena Passengers on Regal Noble field here Thursday. It marks the annual Tournament of Moses festivity in this Western Hemis- phei'e. The Erie players, home from col- lege, will present a sti'ong lineup when they represent the East here. The Passengers claim they will an- nihilate the Erie aggregation. In that event the railroad company will refund one-half of the ticket- purchase money. All in all, it looks like a killing event. Because his players have been re- ceiving so many love letters from home, and also to guard against the Passadena threat, Coach James fRawl Hyde, Erie mentor, will have his team outfitted with the let- ters to form a coat of mail. Passadena refused to divulge their starting lineup. Following is the Erie array, the names having been released to newspaper obituary editors for publication immediately after the game: Left end, Collins, Doter Name: left tackle, Canni, Polk Institute: Left guard, Speer, Mulberry Bush Seminaryg Center, Ludwig, Broken Jaw U. of the College of Hard Knocks, right guard, Abe Silin.

Door checks and 'more checks will be served. Among the notable guests arriv- ing for the affair are: Jerome Masiroff, president of the Juddle- Pumper Auto Co., Theodore Blaze, managing director of the No-Blaze Fire Insurance Co., Lucille and Marion Nick, co-partners of the Knick-Knack Kutlery Kompanyg Mary Flavia Quigley, owner of the Quigley Gum Co.g Elveda Lizzi, sis- ter of Henry Ford: George Gaadt, head of the Gaadt-in-Himmel Corp.

HAROLD HIGGS FOUND IN SHOE STORE BOX When Harold Higgs was found hiding in a shoe-box at the Nisely Shoe Company Store, 1006 State St., last night by the manager, a six-month's disappearance of the youth was solved. According to reports of the police department. made public today, the tale of the Higgs-iinding is an unusual one. The manager was preparing to close shop for the day when he no- ticed a pair of shoes lying on one of the store seats. Pulling out a shoe- box to put the shoes back in stock, the manager noticed Higgs curled up and fast asleep in the container. When Higgs awakens, if he ever does, police will question him as to his disappearance. As it is now, the mystery enshrouds itself in a veil of secrecy that will be torn away only when Higgs speaks and tells to the world the cause of the six-month's absence. Declaring that black eves were the mark of an honest trade, J. Pierpont Clough fcommonly known as Arthur TJ spoke today before members of the Erie County Bar- room Association. The speech was clear and force- ful and Clough was presented with two black eyes by members of the Association for his helpful talk. Grad Statue Is Unveiled at Park N An immense throng gathered in West Perry Square today, wit- nessed the unveiling of the statue to the memorable Central High School class of 1929. Every part of the student body of that year was represented in the work, with -the exception 'of Joe O'Keefe's'nose, which was 'kicked 'off 'by ra' laborer when he failed to lean in a rightful posture. It was hailed as a typical moron ,cast, by Head Janitor John C. Feel l of the Erie School Board. Mr. George C. Bore, when he viewed the plaster, said: It is worth the price 1 of admission to see-which is free. CORCORAN VICTOR IN BATTLE OF STRAW l IN F OLLY DIGEST l In the greatest straw vote ever lconducted by a newspaper in Erie fCounty, Dan E. Corcoran, city 1 street cleaner, polled a total vote of 11125 for the office of mayor in the Folly Digest, leading his nearest opponent by 1126 votes. How this came about no one knows, although the adding was done by Miss Tur- ,ner, former teacher at Central, who made the compilation by algebra. It is figured that a few 'fx's may 'have been dislodged unwittingly by lthe adder tharmlessl . In the recent election, the Folly 'straw vote was 99 and 44-100 per cent pure, we mean true. The vic- tory of Corcoran came when the corner on straw in the market lhousel had been taken up by his backers. Corcoran may now cut down heavily on city governmental ex- penditures by feeding the straw votes to Tomboy, who has taken a liking to Shredded Wheat. HOWARD SMITH NEW BAND LEADER West Springfield, Pa., June 21.- An announcement which will be greeted by Erie folks with three cheers was made here today by headquarters of the town Regi- mental Band who state that How- ard Smith of Erie has been se- lected as leader. A I I I I l Glenn Irwin is Here For a Lecture at Elks Mistaking the Union Depot for the Grand Central Terminal in New York City, Glen Irwin, former Erie boy, will lecture tonight in the Elk's Auditorium instead of . the Metro- politan Opera House for which he had an engagement to speak before the Tonsorial artists union. Finding that Irwin could not make proper connections to New York City, the Erie Teachers' As- sociation, through Miss Bennett, engaged the noted gentleman for this evening. His lecture, Ten Days in a Tar Room. will be fraught with personal remin- iscences, Irwin having had experi- ence in being tarred at Central High School more than ten years ago. He is well fortified in the lecture field, having received excellent in- struction from his former principal, Mr. Elmer G. Frail. He will be lodged at the City Hotel, Seventh End Peach Sts., during his stay in rie. PLAY CAST NOW SHOWS IN CAPITOL Washington, D. C., June 21.- This week's opening feature at the Capitol is a revival of the comedy favorite, t'When's Your Natal Fes- tivity? bv membersof the 1929 Central High School CErie, Pa.J graduating class. It is a special performance by the same old cast, with no scenery, no hope and-no foolinl. According to Director Charlotte Wermin, there will be no plot. One word will lead to another and that's all. Press clippings from other cities in which the comedy has played state: f'Another mystery play. You rlon't know what it's all about. Twice as good as 'Rain'. Has more wind. More clowns than Ring- ling Brothers.
