Four years we have travelled together That path of riches renowned. And now we have reached the archway With the word “Graduation crowned. Under this arch we would linger. Slowly we say. “Good-Bye; But the world calls. Onward, onward, And we stifle the tear in each eye. Yet a toast to the good old high school Where we’re glad we could spend our youth, Twas a place of firm friends and loud comrades. Tis a place to obtain every truth. A place that is worthy of honor Of loyalty, respect and love; A memory that is graven sc� deeply No scenes on new pathways can remove. Edythe Doesciieh. CHARLOTTE HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY 4115 LAKE AVE. ROCHESTER, NEW YORK 23 Class History As every village lias its “oldest resident, so every class must have its oldest member, and when the job ol Class Historian was handed to me. I immediately sought out Milt Punnett, who is acknowledged to he the “oldest resident of Charlotte High School and the oldest member of the class of 1023 (of course, Emmett Sullivan, the noted octogenarian, is our oldest member in age. hut not in years at C. H. S.) “What 1 want. I explained, “is a brief history of the class of 23 to print in our forthcoming annual. Recognizing your status as our most venerable and distinguished member, I felt that you might give me the benefit of your knowledge of the history of our school. “I see. answered he, with a readiness which showed that age ami years under the tutelage of teachers, many of whom have long since passed away, had not dulled his keenness of perception. I think I can help you, young man. Now I remember when I was a sophomore back in the 80 s— “Wait. I hastily interrupted, “please begin with 1919. I am not after a history of the school, you know. Ob, very well, lie replied abjectly, “but it is such fun to muse over the scenes and friends of long ago. For instance I shall never lorgct how George Eastman and 1 went to hear President Grant when he was in Roch- ester. or how I wanted to enlist for the Spanish War, but my father wouldn't let me. and the first time I voted, when Cleveland was elected to his first term. By the way. have you been to see “Bud Marks or “Sea Lion Boy ink. or any of my other old cronies, who have been here with me for the last five or ten years? Why, no, I said. Then. I'll tell you what we'll do, he exclaimed eagerly, “I II go and get some of them and you can ask them any questions you wish. He went out and presently returned with the two whom he had men- tioned and also “Red Schecr and “Crawler Coger. I noticed that Ralph entered tin room regretfully, and casting many longing glances back into the hall, but the rest seemed glad to come. Well, gentlemen, I said, when they had seated themselves, “you know why I am here. Suppose, in the first place, that you tell me what you remember about the advent of the glorious class of 1923 as freshmen. Ah! exclaimed “Rudd, don't ask us to do that. It's too painful. We were sophomores then, and to think how low we have fallen. he broke ofT amid bitter sobs and for the rest of the meeting continued to weep silently. Ralph, always willing to talk, was more communicative and said, with evident relish. I remember a great deal alnnit your initiation. For weeks afterward, there was an acute shortage of barrels, packing boxes, etc. around the school. Then too— Oh, I inte rruplcd, with a shudder. I too have not forgotten that warm October evening. To paraphrase Poc— 21 Oh well do I remember It was almost in the bleak November (i. e. Oct. 25) And the last dying Freshie Cast his ghost upon the— (I couldn t make that last line rhyme, so I told the printer to leave the whole poem out, but he evidently forgot.) As I recollect. Mariner Davis and Savery Coneybcar (Note: This is not a typographical error), as class president and secretary received the roughest treatment but the fact remains that the kindling wood supply of the whole community was seriously endangered by this eventful night. But go on, do you remember anything more?” “Well, there was the freshman basketball team which was the best Charlotte ever put out and which lost the junior high championship by one point to Washington Junior. That is all that I can think of now. “Don't be too modest, Ralph,” admonished “Milt.” “certainly you ha ven t forgotten Senior Day.” Turning to me, he added, “When we had our annual tug-ol-uar with you freshmen we used Ralph as anchor man. From that time on his fortune was made for he was hired by a life insur- ance company to pose for their advertisements. Of course, we won the tug-of-war.” “Maybe so,” I responded, “hut don't forget the freshman class easily won all events at the annual school picnic on the same day and therefore redeemed themselves nobly. But now what about our sophomore year?” “Athletics,” said my first informant, Ralph, “furnished the main diversions of the cla s of '23 when sophomores. Among our prominent athletes were Carl Johnson, “Dick” Hall. Gordon Howe, Fred Gihaud. Don Davison and “Milt” Punnett. The oflicers were Walter Whclehan, Presi- dent. Henry Marks, vice-president and Inez Reiss, secretary. Rut I must go now. I-er-have an important engagement with-cr-a teacher. “Oh. indeed,” I said, “then we will of course excuse you. Thank you very much.” “Now.” I said, turning to the others, “if you can tell me something of our junior year, I will be exceedingly grateful and will trouble you no further.” “Well,” said “Red” Scheer (Note: Nicknamed “Red” because ol the color of his hair), as slowly and judiciously as ever, “it is hard to think of any of last year's activities in which Juniors did not play a leading part. The athletic teams, the initial Witan stall, the operetta, and all the other school activities were run largely by juniors. However, the climax to our successful year came on Senior Day, when four solemn members ol our class marched down the aisle ol the assembly hearing a funeral coffin labeled 1922. Charles Sullivan was the class president. After getting these facts down in my notebook. I thanked them all and started to leave when suddenly “Bud Marks roused himself and cried “Don't forget the Ballyho Bugle!” and then relapsed into his former state of mourning. Throughout the meeting I had heard no words from my old friend. Howard Coger, and upon looking at him. saw that he was sound asleep. “Don't wake him. I whispered, “he has not had a really good nap since the seventh period in Retail Selling. It is of little moment here to tell the record of the achievements of the class of 1923 during the present year, for that is the main purpose for which this entire hook is designed, and to tell of these accomplishments here would he a useless repetition. Roger Butterfield, Class Historian. .«------------Hv Prophecy of the Class of 1923 I was speeding across the continent, ami after riding many hours I became weary of the scenery and no longer interested in my fellow passen- gers. I leaned hack in my seat, closed my eyes, and let my thoughts roam at will. Most naturally they would turn homeward and It� the school and class-mates with whom I had been associated and I realized that it would soon he the “parting of the ways’ for the Class of 1923 ol Charlotte High School. What has the future in store for this hoy and that girl I wondered. I let my mind wander on and on, until 1 was entirely lost to my surroundings, and as a panorama passing before me, I beheld first, Francis Wallace. The name of Clinton IS. Howard as a Prohibition lecturer has passed into oblivion. Francis' lectures far surpass Clint’s best efforts. Ralph Boyink is head coach at Princeton. Since Ralph has been their coach, the Tigers have not lost a game. Inez Reis has found an outlet for her natural oratorical ability, as Chairman of the National Republican Woman’s Committee. Edward England is the successful owner of a chain store syndicate. Marian Strickland is still at Charlotte High School. But she is a mem- ber of the faculty, not a student. Howard Coger. the brilliant retail salesman with the permanent wave, has progressed rapidly. He is now manager of a “John Bright shoe store. Virginia Sampson has been very successful, having recently become “Dean of Smith College. Roger Butterfield is the Secretary of the Treasury . We hope that Roger remembers his old f riends. By virtue of her early aggressiveness Mary Williams holds a very responsible position, namely, head of the “Credits and Collections ’ depart- ment of the Marshall Field stores. Richard Wendt is the idol of the baseball world. In 1 1 games he hit 31 home runs and 16 triples. Alma Fuhrman preferring marriage to a career has become a wonder- ful hel| i-meel to a noted divine. She and her husband are now busy es- tablishing a foreign mission. 26 r I he most illustrious artist of the century, Milton Punnett, has just completed a portrait ol Julius Zeilinski, the celebrated educator. ictor Sweeney is the independent candidate for Governor of New ork State. He is 100' for the people and “wears no man s collar. ’ “Milady s Beauty Shoppe, the pride of Rochester, is conducted by Pauline Gallery. Margaret Neary and Dorothy Holly. Iris Woodams, the noted Prima Donna, has kept “that schoolgirl complexion ’ because of her frequent visits there. Rev. Emmett Sullivan, 1). D., an eminent clergyman, has converted many criminals to the straight and narrow path; most of these were former members of the Junior Glass. I he name of Judge Marks i feared by the violators of law and order. The violators ol the 18th amendment have discontinued business because of Judge Mark's energies, and the sentences which those who are caught receive. Daniel Webster may have been a |x litical orator, but he was only an amateur compared to Carl Goettel. Theodore Karl has been fortunate enough to become “Corporation Counsel ’ for the New York Central Lines. Edythe Doescher has achieved fame and fortune through her literary ability. Her latest poem, “Moonlight on the Barge Canal” has taken the ■country by storm. I awoke from my reverie with a start at the conductor’s announce- ment of “Denver. Horace F. Schkek.

Our team made a worthy record, played clean, fought hard, and. win or lose, they were always true sports. Ry a stroke of fortune we were chosen to represent Rochester in the State Tournament, and so wound up the season in sterling fashion. At the 'tart. Mr. Chamberlain emphasized the importance of funda- mentals, as usual, and laid particular stress upon them in all practice sessions. The wisdom of this was apparent after the first few games. Material being plentiful, competition for places on the team was keen at all times. This made for a better team, for it encouraged every candidate to play just a little better basketball than he had ever played before, if he wished to survive. The season started with a bang, and kept right on going. We literally swamped our rivals week after week. Although a small school, we were ranked with the larger schools by the sport writers, and so came in for plenty of publicity. We had a fighting, scrapping team, that never piit until the final whistle blew, yet played hard, fast and clean always—What more can a school ask of a team? In the State Tournament we were eliminated by Newark 14-13, in the most sensational game of the series. Newark won the sectional champion- ship later, so we can feel that we rate pretty well. Eleven wins in sixteen starts is a very fair record for any team. The Reserves went through their entire schedule and lost but one game —an enviable showing. Prospects for next year are good, provided all of the players continue in pursuit of knowledge, and do not take to the “blind baggage. L---------------- 39 10 Baseball This year's baseball team has been the victim of the weather man on more than one occasion, but in spite of this they have hung up six victories in eight games, ami are looking for the seventh victory. The only losses have been at the hands of the Shop School nine, hut both of these were costly, as they were regular City League games. After losing the first game to Shop School. 11-1, our hoys seemed to take a new slant on things in general, for they won the succeeding games by scores of 24-2, 2.4-2, 24-0, 12-5. etc. All went well until the second game with Shop School when we again blew sky-high and lost 10-1. Altogether we passed from the “heights of ecstacy to the depths of despair on those two sad occasions. The team has played good baseball, and has been right in there hit- ting the ball all of the time. At this writing it has a batting average of .468, which is quite some average if you will stop and think. e have not printed the names of the players under this picture, be- cause if you do not know them, it's up to YOl to come out and support them and make their acquaintance! The record follows: Charlotte 1 Shop School 11 Charlotte 24 Kodak High 2 Charlotte 7 Webster High 6 Charlotte 24 Spencerport High 2 Charlotte 1 Shop School 10 Charlotte 12 Bergen High 5 Charlotte 24 Kodak High 0 Charlotte 9 Spencerport 0 Charlotte y? Bergen ?? Soccer From the start it was evident that an entirely new soccer team would have to be built up this year. There was plenty of material, green and awkward, hut willing and eager to learn. Mr. Chamberlain decided to build a team that would be in school for at least another year. The start of the season was disastrous, as expected, hut after the first few games we began to pick up, and soon the papers were saying—“W atch Charlotte! The scores became closer, and closer, and WE DEFEATED EAST HIGH at the close of the season, a feat we had never before been able to accomplish. It is gratifying to know that in picking the all-scholastic teams, Gordon Speares was the unanimous choice of every sport writer lor the fullback position, and Milton I’unnett was picked by one paper lor left end. I he season closed with a “feed at the home ol Gordon Speares, at which lime he was re-elected captain for the 1924 season. 41 f-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------� l We don't apologize for the soccer team; we don't need to! I hey fought every minute; exhausted every fair means to win; and were gentlemen.— I wonder if every school can say as much of its team? -'ll KV Swimming Swimming seemed to fall Iwhind this year. Perhaps because there are fewer “water dogs’ than in previous years, lie that as it may, we did have a team in the tank, under the tutelage of Hoy Benson. They partici- pated in several meets throughout the city. The following hoys qualified for their letter in swimming: Robert Sherman, Francis Wallace, Wilbur Wignall and Richard Wendt. -A I 1 Kv T rack Track and field sports were revived again this year after a lapse of interest for several seasons. We held a very successful interclass meet, and had a team entered in both the sectional tournament and in the city championship interscholastic meet. Another year and we expect to en- large our track activities and have a full team in every meet. There is no reason why this should not he done. The following hoys qualified for their letter in track: Gordon Speares, Adam Norwich and Charles Mc- Laughlin. KV A long, long time ago some philosopher remarked, “W hile there’s life there’s hope” and immediately became famous. Such was Charlotte High School’s condition in the athletic world several years ago when the students and public as a whole showed a general apathy toward sports. There was “life” but it was submerged; there was “hope because there were a number of athletes—so-called and otherwise —who were ripe to develop into greater lines; but there was no “life” as far as school spirit was concerned. Then came a change. That little “life” developed into “hope: that “hope” has gone still farther, but Charlotte High School’s athletes have not become “famous” as yet. That “famous is a long way oil, but it will only take lime to bring these students into the “famous” class of Roch- ester high school athletics. And Carl C. Chamberlain, who directs the athletic destinies of Char- lotte High School, is responsible for this in a large measure. He aroused that “life into “hope” and now his athletic program may develop some- one who will become “famous” in high school athletics. 42 r —■-------------------------------------------------------------------------- A member of this staff was asked to write a few words on Charlotte High School's athletic condition for an edition of “The Witan a few weeks ago, and in that article he complimented Mr. Chamberlain on the part he has played in Charlotte High School's activities. “Modest Mr. Chamberlain, however, saw that article before it appeared in “The Witan and, as a result, all reference to himself was eliminated. But “Modest Mr. Chamberlain cannot escape this tribute to his powers, for he, in the main, has been responsible for the activity shown by Charlotte High School during the three years he has been in charge of athletics of the lakeside school. Not all of Mr. Chamberlain's work is shown in the athletic program mapped out for the first and second teams of the school's sports; there is a good deal more to that program than an outsider would suppose. He has developed good basketball, soccer and ba eball teams—maybe not in the class with East and West High schools as yet. but probably at some future date—but that line of interclass, home room and regular gymnasium periods, has gone a long way toward developing Charlotte High School's boys not as “athletes but sound in “mind, body and spirit as the V. M. C. A. slogan goes. Not all of these boys can become athletic stars; not all of them can make the first or second teams of the school, hut they can have sound bodies—perhaps the greatest asset any individual can have—for a sound body may be developed into a sound mind and a “sound spirit. What Mr. Chamberlain has done for the Iwiys, Miss Ann Parker has done for the girls. Following out a rigid program, along the same line as Mr. Chamberlain's but a less vigorous one. Miss Parker has developed these girls—not all of them, of course, that is out of the question—so that they can go into the world with a cleaner aspect on life and better able to meet it with increased vigor. Perhaps in no high school in the city has such a strong athletic system been developed as at the lakeside institution. All the schools in the city have some sort of a system which is entered into, at the most, only half- heartedly, and the writer knows this from his own experiences. Programs for gymnasium classes are kept rigidly at the lakeside school, while in the other high schools of the city they are kept rather half-hearted- ly, which does not tend to increase either the physical or the moral welfare of the students. Whether athletics interest the majority of the students depends a great deal on the enpahility ami the interest shown by those in charge of the activities, and in this way Charlotte High School is exceed- ingly fortunate. While there's life there's hope —to bring up that saying again—and there seems to be plenty of life, much hope and prospects of doing still greater things in the world of athletics at Charlotte High School.
