The Yellow and White Senior Glass History On the morning of September fifth, nineteen hundred and eleven, the class of 1915 entered the Corry High School. We were APPARENTLY the usual large crowd of timorous and verdant Freshmen. Our UNUSUAL abilities have been demonstrated since. We passed through the trying experiences always met by normal Freshmen. When we dashed for the back seats we were coldly directed by the Seniors to the front of the room. When we struggled with the schedule, few bothered to explain to us the meaning of that terrible word “conflict'' and when bewildered, we stumbled into the wrong classes, alas, what shrieks of laughter caused our cheeks to burn! Hut after we had overcome these difficulties and had settled down to the calm routine of Freshman life we decided to organize. With the assistance of superior minds we held a mass meeting in the Study Hall and elected as president. “Week” McKinney, who has led us through many events for three years. W e chose as secretary. Araline Drought, and as treasurer. Ruth Calkins. This meeting proved so successful that we dared to risk a second and at this time we chose our colors. YELLOW and WHITE and selected our flower, the YELLOW ROSE. It was then that we determined to have the honor of graduating the largest class in the history of C. II. S. We now feel sure that the time is very near when that ambition shall be realized. However, one by one. we have lost many highly valued members. When we had recovered our breath after the mid-year exams our 1915 team challenged the three upper classes to a series of baseball games. Two exciting ones were played on the Fair Grounds and the Freshmen won both, the score being 15-7 and 7-4. One of our mem-ers then gave evidence of the ability which has since made him famous, and we are proud that Carmen Hill was once a member of our class. In June we had a very enjoyable picnic at Lake Columbus. As Sophomores we sustained our reputation in athletics. We again found ourselves lined up against the rest of the school—football, this time, and again we carried off the laurels! On Hallowe’en, in collaboration with the Freshmen we won first prize lor the best high school float in the parade. This year we had the same president. with Lucile Love as vice president. and upon Araline. our former secretary, we conferred the additional honor of managing our funds, which were assuming quite magnificent proportions. ()ur numbers also were swelled at this time by the addition of the Sub-Sophomores. There still remained one phase of High School Athletics in which we wished to prove ourselves proficient— basketball, and indeed, we did this at lhc Armory on the twelfth of March of our Sophomore year, when we struggled with the Juniors and emerged The Yellow and White with a score of 16-11. in favor of the Sophs, of course. When the Class of 1913 departed on its long anticipated Washington trip, the girls of our class presented each traveller with a box of choice (?) candy. And then came Class Day. or rather the night before. Permit me to quote the head lines of the Corry Kveiling Journal for June 2nd: “High School Classes Hattie All Night —Sophomore Colors Survive And Are In Evidence This Morning. Columbus was again the scene of our merriment on the occasion of our second class picnic. When we became Juniors we began to feel quite dignified although we were rather appalled by the course of studies which we found awaiting us. Phis year the offices of president and secretarv-and-treasurer were filled by Harold Brown and Marie Keppel. Immediately our minds became occupied with the great event before us -namely—the Junior-Senior Reception. The dawn of this longed-for day found the Juniors up bright and early and ready to begin those long hours of decorating. Oh. the back-breaking work of that day But the results achieved were worth all the toil expended ! 'Phe banquet hall was beautifully decorated in red and white pennants in honor of our guests of ‘14. I he K. of I . Hall was resplendent in yellow and white, the ceiling having been hung with chrysanthemums. I he next event of importance was Junior Day. W e presented quite a novelty in our living movies and these were followed by a short play. Rooms To Let. After the entertainment. part of the class (including some of the actors who hardly waited to remove their make-up) rushed off to a dance given by the —cr—J. R. Club. And then—a recurrence to decorating. the Junior’s permanent job. Our task was to prepare the Auditorium for the Commencement exercises. When we had finished the effect WAS lovely. Phe whole stage was a mass of Japanese cherry blossoms climbing a trellis which quite concealed the word Juniors in electric lights. Phis eventful third year closed with a delightful picnic at Panama Rocks, the entire class making the trip in automobiles. Last September we re-entered C. II. S. proud of the fact that we numbered fifty-nine, this being the largest Senior Class that ever entered these halls of learning. At our first class meeting we elected Wesley McKinney president. Marie Keppel. treasurer, and Helen Hoenes as secretary. This year as formerly we showed our ingenuity in our float for the Hallowe’en parade. Phe judges acknowledged our success with a beautiful silver cup. An entertainment. “The Kaffir Hoys. and numerous bake-sales were held in the vain endeavor to accumulate sufficient funds for the Washington trip. W'hen we saw the futility of these efforts the class as a whole was forced to abandon the trip. However the individual members who visited the capital had a wonderful week of sight-seeing. new custom was introduced by observing Arbor Day and we had the honor of planting the first tree on the High School grounds. An interesting feature this year was the organization, by some members of the Senior Class of an orchestra. Now only a few unwritten pages remain in the book of our history and it is our earnest wish that these last records that are to be made of the Class of 1915 may be even fairer and more unblemished than those that make up our past. The Yellow and White deception to ’14 There is probably no other event during the Junior year that is looked forward to with as much anticipation i� r pleasure as the reception given by the Juniors to the Seniors. For weeks before the date set the Juniors are always busy getting everything in readiness tor the best reception that was ever given to a Senior class in Corry High, and we were no exception to the rule. February 20. 1914. was the date set and although we worked up until six o’clock that night, we were well repaid for our efforts. The banquet was held in the Presbyterian chapel at 6:30 o’clock and needless to say we all did justice to the menu which the ladies had prepared. The hall was decorated in red and white with the exception of an electrical sign with the mini erals 15 in yellow and white, which was in the center of the room. The favors were dainty sweet-grass baskets tied with red ribbons, and the tables were all tastefully arranged, the color scheme throughout being red and white. Following the toasts, given by Harold Brown. W allace Wellman, and Prof. Monroe, we all journeyed to the K. of P. Hall, which had been beautifully decorated for the occasion in yellow and white. A screen of evergreen covered with buds and butterflies. above which was a lattice-work of yellow and white, concealed the orchestra. The windows were covered in a like manner and mirrors hung between them. Reaching from the center of the room to a point within about three feet of the tops ot the windows and then down, were strings of yellow and white chrysanthemums. Electric lights which formed the center of flowers were also strung about the hall and a sherbet-booth in one corner on which was a large 15 made of chrysanthemums completed the decorations. The reception room had also been tastefully decorated with pennants and fitted up with chairs and sofas. The decorations, together with the beautiful gowns, made it one of the prettiest parties ever held here and one which we. as well as the Class of '15. will always remember as one of the most enjoyable events of our High School Life. My “Pony” tis of thee Book of Necessity, Of thee I sing. You arc my joy and pride, You’ll always be my guide. And be my king. My little “Pony” true I’ll always trust to you The marks I get. I love thy pages torn. The print that’s sadly worn. But I’ll use you every morn. For some time yet. Let lessons come so hard. That I will need a pard: To thee I’ll come. I will not have a fear, For you’ll be always near To help me thru the year. For I’m so dumb. My “Pony’s” fame is great. It will always have a date Of great import. It’ll get your lessons right. But keep it out of teacher’s sight It she’d deport. —Ex.

Wallace Young. The Yellow and White The Yellow and White vluttior Glass tilstorv Wc can remember the first few days « f our High School life only as a sort of misty dream. Wc had trials and troubles galore, what with running gauntlets, trying to keep from drowning in water fountains, singing on the streets and in the theaters, we were surely kept busy during our first week in Corry High. However, we awoke in a few days and organized our class. W allace Young was chosen President and Bonnell Jourdet. Secretary and Treasurer. In making a count of our members, we found that we had the biggest class which ever entered the High School in one year, our number amounting to well over a hundred members. 1-though our first year was not what could rightly he called exceedingly eventful, we take pride in thinking of the prize which we. in company with the Sophomores captured from the juniors and Seniors in the Hallowe’en parade of that year. At the close of the school year our class went to Lake Columbus where they held their last meeting until the following fall. At the beginning of our second year we managed to remember the greeting which we received during our first few days here, sufficiently long enough to do all in our power to welcome those curious little fellows, the Freshmen. W e re-elected the president and treasurer of our first year and elected Stanley Pennell Vice-President, an office which we did not feel the need of during our first year. W e feel pardonable pride that the skillful decorat- ing of our float again enabled us to take first prize, and gave us a reputation of being decorators, which we have since maintained. This year several of our members made the Varsity football team and brought much credit to the school and incidentally to their class. W'c again journeyed to Lake Columbus for our annual outing and although slightly more lessened in numbers than at the close of our Freshman year, we felt we had completed two very successful years in Corry High. On Class Day we prevented the Juniors from flashing the number of their year around the auditorium, during the Senior play, and later in the evening a fight was indulged in, when it became necessary for us to prevent the Juniors from flashing their year on a house opposite the school. It was really too bad to spoil all their fun but we felt it necessary. After the summer vacation had ended we returned to school under the honorable name of Juniors and found, as was to be expected, that, although we had lost a few members, we had gained much in added dignity and earnestness of purpose. This year has keen the most successful and enjoyable one which we have experienced and in all ways has been a banner year for us. At our first meeting W . Young was again chosen President, with John Downey. Vice-President, and Katherine Smith. Secretary and Treasurer. This year we have had a chance to carry out a custom which The Yellow and White was first inaugurated by the class of 1930. namely that greatest of all social functions, the Junior-Senior Reception. Plans for this occasion had been maturing in our minds for months before any public announcement was made and all arrangements for the event were carried out as if by clockwork. Although we encountered slight opposition from outsiders, our class was unanimously in favor of having this the best and most thoroughly enjoyable reception ever tendered the Seniors. W illing workers from the class put up the decorations with no small amount of skill and good taste. The banquet hall at the Presbyterian church was decorated in honor of the Seniors, with yellow and white streamers draped from the walls and the walls were covered with yellow and white pennants. The tables carrie 1 out the color effect by means of their yellow and white candelabras and dainty yellow baskets filled with salted nuts. Including the Seniors, faculty and schoolboard with their wives, there were over one hundred persons who assembled at the Presbyterian C hapel at seven o’clock. At half-past seven the banquet was served and those Seniors. well! if they were not satisfied when they got thru there is no such word. Following the repast. Prof. E. L. Monroe, acting as toastmaster, introduced Wallace Young, the Junior President, who made a brief address of welcome, which was appropriately responded to by Wesley McKinney, the Senior President. Following this Prof. Monroe wittily introduced Milon Itrown. who responded to the toast “Fishing” and Supt. Wilson, who most pleasingly spoke on the topic “W hat’s in a Name?” A feature of the banquet was the turning out of all the lights and flashing on a Green and White electric sign bearing the figures “1916.” just as our President rose to give the address of welcome. The assembly then adjourned to the K. of I'. Hall, where they had their picture taken in the reception hall, which was decked out with hundreds of pennants. After this the dance hall ws thrown open for the Grand March, during which green and white embossed programs were given out. The dance hall had been decorated with (ireen and White tassellcd fringe and 1916 pennants. Mirrors and green and white pennant drapers covered the walls. ddic guests departed at a late hour and all were unanimous in the opinion that this was the most beautiful affair ever given i y the Junior Cdass. W e think that our class has done its share in beautifying the school building. both inside and out. as we have presented a beautiful picture, entitled “Ciceros’ Oration against Catiline,” which hangs in the study hall, and since then we have planted a tree in the southeast corner of the lawn.

The Yellow and White Sophomore Clla55 ;Historv In the Fall of 1913 a large body of intellectual young people, who were thirsting for knowledge (?) gathered together and decided to enter this noble institution of learning. W e called ourselves the Class of 1917. but by rude upper classes were given the title of Freshmen. Although we may have been green we were not the greenest bunch that ever entered Corry High. On that eventful first day we appeared “all silked up” as some one put it. We came into the hall with fear and trembling and the gibes of the multitudes in our ears. Our first impression was that of the noise and confusion in the corridors. We wandered about aimlessly for a few moments when some one asked us if we had made out our schedules. Of course we did not know what he meant. Finally some brave spirit plucked up sufficient courage to ask-one of the teachers and she told us how. Soon after this we were assembled in the Main Room and a little address by Mr. Monroe greatly impressed us with our duties as High School students. The morning session was soon over and on leaving the building, we (boys) found the upper classmen lined up on South street, farmed to the teeth) to give us a warm reception • his also made a great “impression as we preferred only cushioned seats for several days to come. That night we were initiated into the sacred mysteries of Rowing to the Owl. and later gave a concert in the streets and at the Lvric by singing that pathetic little ballad, “Mow Green I Am. The next week after becoming settled a meeting was held to elect a temporary president to serve for one month. John Hopkins was elected to fill this office. Later at the regular election Harry Darling was elected President, Emory Drake. N ice President. Mary Higgins. Treasurer, and Myrtle Steele. Secretary. W e did nothing of great importance our first year, only beating out the Sophomore class in the Hallowe’en Parade and winning a Silver Cup. 'Phis was presented to the High School. In athletics we made a good showing, having a good football team, though playing but a few games were not defeated once. In basketball we had a crack team, being beaten but twice and that by the Sophs, and ending our season bv defeating the H. S. Seconds. The team was composed of Williams. Darling. Weiss. Spicer. Wood and Davidson. In baseball we had a fine team, getting our revenge on the Sophs., at a very enjoyable picnic at Columbus Lake. Phis year we entered Corry High with such diginity as befitted upper classmen, and not Freshmen. Our first meeting was for the election of officers and “Curley” W illiams was elected President. Emory Drake Vice President, Marie Steely. Secretary and Harold C. Patterson. Treasurer. We helped to give the Freshmen a welcome, as was seen by the size of the paddles which Weiss and Darling used, but did not enter the Hallowe’en Parade. Later a picture-show benefit was given which was a great success. There was no regular Class football team organized but the basketball team reorganized and have done good work considering the amount of practice they have had.

(The question mark is unnecessary) We called ourselves the class of 1918, but. we were and are still called “Freshmen’' and “greens” by the upper classmen, as is characteristic. Aware of our greenness but determined to show it. we entered Corry High on that eventful day. Timid, excited and a little puffed up because of reaching a higher rung on life’s ladder, we wandered hither and thither; unnoticed except an occasional “Hello, you’ll get yours’’ and “Don’t try to run away.” At last in great relief we beard the ringing of a bell and followed the multitude into what we learned was called the study hall. Here we partook of a brief but pleasant and interesting address by Professor Monroe, who explained our duties as Freshmen, the schedule and the “help” the upper classmen were willing to administer to us. The sessions soon over, we (boys) reminded of what was in store for us by the splendid array of late “baseball recruits” who were swinging their sticks with great zeal. We filed out slow but sure to what they termed our medicine. Most of us enjoyed our spanking, although, as in the case of the “Sophs” preferred only cushioned seats and a simple diet for several days to come. That night, having been told to assemble near the High School we responded to this request, and were put through another scries of initiations by the members of the order “Bowing to the Owl” in all prob ability the famed “High School Athletic Association.” The initiations con sisted of rolling peanuts, ducking in the horse trough and a variety of vocal solos, which rivaled those given by the Penn State ('dee Club. The most popular solo or balad entitled “How (ireen 1 Am was sung to perfection at the Lyric. Lester Sample and Raymond Gilson sang tenor while Dana Olds accompanied by others sang bass After these initiations we were welcom cd as full-fledged Freshmen and later enjoyed a treat at the Library Theater at the expense of the manager. The next week after much trouble we elected with the aid of Miss Thomas, the following officers; Paul Mclnnes. Pres ident- Ralph Levy, Vice President. Leona Bentley. Secretary; and Florence Smith, Treasurer, who later resigned and was succeeded by Katherine Auer. We adopted the colors of the class of 1914. Red and W hite. The only class event attempted as yet was the Hallowe’en Float which was a far greater success than we had even hoped. The members of the committee who made this possible are to be congratulated on their energy and push in making it so great a success. As ardent fans of baseball we chal !enged the Sophs in the Autumn of 1914 to a series of games to confirm and establish our superiority on the The Yellow and White diamond. We won two out of three. The Sophs claim to be masters of the luniors in baseball, and we expect to he champions of the school in baseball next year. The ones particularly who aided in vanquishing the haughty Sophs arc Kennedy. McLean. Sample, (iilson and Levy. Although having plenty of foot-ball material we did not organize a team but only played long enough to show the Sophs we were their equals, the score ending in a tie. In basketball we had a fast team, being defeated but twice in six games. We won from the Klgin team twice, from the Sophomores twice and also, defeated the regular C. H. S. team. Although we have decreased in numbers since September we have con fidence in each other and hope to prove the Class of 1918 one to be long remembered and respected.

The Yellow and White The Yellow and White Senior AH)lctte ;Hisfcorv 1 lie class of 1915 has been one of exceptional athletic ability. While interclass contests in the various sports are not held regularly, several games of this sort have been arranged between the Seniors and the other classes. While yet green in our Freshmen year we had the nerve to challenge the rest of the school to a scries of baseball games. The challenge was accepted and two games were played at the Fair Grounds. We then had the nucleons of the Corrv High Baseball Team of the past three years. We won both games by large scores. 16-7 and 14-3. and all had to buy new hats afterwards. Our base ball ability has never been questioned and we have rested as champions throughout our high school career. At the beginning of our Sophomore year we had more confidence in ourselves and started things on the gridiron. We defied the other three classes combined to a game or series of games of football and after a time we were accepted. We won the first game 24-6. and then we walked around with chips on our shoulders. The other three classes again combined and practiced faithfully to beat us. But we were not to be denied. In this game the other classes were shut out 18-0. and they held their peace ever after, so far as football was concerned. In the spring we again demonstrated our baseball ability to the discomfiture of the other classes. As Juniors we were not molested until the end of the basketball season. then the Seniors, thinking themselves good, issued a defy to the rest of the school. The class team of 1915 immediately accepted, and. although it was a hard game, we won, 16-11. With tins game over we were battle-scarred veterans, and. incidentally the all-around champions of the school. But. during our Senior year we were called upon to defend our basketball laurels against no less a team than the Sophomores, who had practiced faithfully to upset us. We were given but one afternoon to practice. i ur youthful opponents trying to follow in our footsteps as champs, were rudely undeceived as to their ability for they were swamped under an avalanche of points. The first half ended 24-3 in our favor. Having compassion during the second half we allowed our opponents to bring their total up to fourteen, while we were con-ten with forty-three for our share. The final score, 43-14 showed that although disabled by the ravages of time and old age. we are still undefeated in any line of sport and could leave a clean slate behind us for our successors to envy. The codfish lays a million eggs While the helpful hen lays one; But the codfish does not cackle To inform us what she’s done. And so we scorn the codfish. But the helpful hen we prize; Which indicates to thoughtful minds It pays to advertise. I thus we conquered The Yellow and White The Yellow and White (ti)c 1914 Foot-Ball Season The 1914 Football season was a very successful one for Corry High School. Poo much credit can not he given to Coach Carl Taylor for (leveling the team. He went to work with a very inexperienced bunch of material and brought out a very clever team. There was plenty of weight and size for a good team, besides speed and agility. The back field was heavy and fast. It was composed of Brown at full back and the Lal’aze brothers as the halves. Downey at quarter was small but this was no hindrance to him. He was fast and clever, and made very few fumbles. Babbitt at center was a good defensive man and also a clever tackier. Patterson and (iretzler occupied the guard positions. Both were heavy men and were not easily moved aside. 'Together they broke up many mass plays. Boudreau and W eiss were a pair of good tackles. W eiss was a good man to run with the ball, time and again making spectacular runs through the opposing team. McKinney and Clough, the ends, were both fast. Clough was good at getting under punts and McKinney shone at receiving passes and also at breaking up opposing passes. Among the substitutes were McLean, an end. Orn tackle, and Duffy and Shaw centers and guards, (iretzler and Babbitt took care of the kicking department, the former doing the punting and the latter the goal kicking.

Under Coach Dan De-Lury’s tutelage, a fast aggregation was developed, full of life and willing to work. Behind Hill, the crack pitcher. the team worked with supreme confidence. He was invincible, his great speed, curves, and slow ball completely baffling opponents. His battery partner. McLean, was second to no catcher on any of the opposing teams. He had a fine throwing arm. turning back time and again those who attempted to steal. The infield composed of Edwards. Jourdet. McKinney and Hopkins was fast, scrappy and lacked Warren 1 Titusville 3 Fdinboro 0 Warren 4 Franklin 2 10 Hill made a wonderful record in the pitching line, securing 25 strikeouts against the Franklin team and averaging nineteen strikeouts per game. nothing in the fielding line.

The team had weight, size and ability, as well as skill and generalship. Practice started early and the team worked with a determination to win. I he members worked well together and by the time of the first game, the teamwork was nearly perfect. The success of the team was largely due to the unceasing effort of Captain Clifford Jourdet. the team being without the services of a coach. A good long schedule was arranged by Manager Babbitt, with the opening game on Thanksgiving night with Silver Creek as Corrv’s opponents. The last game was played at Cambridge. Babbitt was a mighty buiwrrk { the Corry High team, intercepting passes and feeding the ball to the forwards being his specialty. He was a close guard and with his running mate, W ellman, put up a great defense. Wellman was a good mixer, being good at breaking up passes and getting the ball back into Corry’s territory. These two men were accountable for their opponents low scores. Paulson was a good all-around man. alternating between guard and forward. He was a wonderful shit, especially at scoring long baskets. Being a heavy man he was unsurpassable in recovering the ball and his goo 1 eye made Corry’s score a large 1 nc. Jourdet at forward was the hardest man on Corry High's team to guard. What he lacked in size and weight was made up in ability and strength. He was uncqualcd at caging baskets, being able to ring them in from all points on the floor. His floor work and passing was a prime factor in keeping the ball in Corry’s hands. Another feature of his work was his ability for scoring fouls, his unerring aim accounting for a good share of Corry's total score. (iretzler at center was a great factor in making this season a successful one. his height and reach enabling Corry to get the ball first. He was a good shot and invincible as a defensive man. He never met an equal in the center of the floor and was never out jumped. His efforts were largely accountable for Corry’s victories. McKinney at forward was fast, a good shot and a good defensive man. being quick and untiring. His favorite pastime was following the ball. He was always dependable, a hard worker and always contributed his share, his playing and scoring ability making up a large part of Corry’s scoring machine. With a record of fourteen games won out of seventeen, the team was justifiably proud of its ability. Following is the schedule of games played.

The Yellow and White The Yellow and White Orchestra It was late in the Fall of 1914 when the idea of a high school orchestra occurred to several thoughtful students. As this idea had taken root, and had sprouted some time before this, and was now growing rapidly among the musically inclined factions, it only remained for our worthy instructor. Mr. Brown, to give his timely aid in organizing this aggregation into what popularly became known as the High School Orchestra. In this manner originated what has proved to be the largest and snappiest instrumental organization ever established in the local institution. The promising troupe, then consisting of the Misses Waller, Drought and Smith, and the Messrs. Alverson, Darling and Levy, organised and elected the latter as their leader. With the valiant and unceasing support of the student body, and being brim-full of enthusiasm, the orchestra now started on its road to local fame. It was not long before it was called into public service, first making its appearance at the Christmas exercises in the Auditorium, in which it played a conspicuous part in an exceptionally artistic manner, before the entire student body and the invited public. It was at this time that Leon Lindslcy, the mandolinist, was ushered into the merry troupe, thus making a bevy of seven. Let it suffice to say that the club had already gained favor among the general public, and created the highest degree of enthusiasm that was ever manifested in the school. Our popularity has spread far and wide;” that is, about as far as Columbus and Elgin (please don’t laugh, jes grin), for we were next invited to render a program at the McCray Church, where we exhibited our talents to their greatest cxtent.(?) We had to let people know that our High School had an “orchestra” and the only way to do it was to get out and let them hear us. The performance was considered a worthy attraction by all present and we enjoyed ourselves to our hearts desires and gained popularity also in this vicinity by the trip. The orchestra made a decided public hit, moreover, in its next attempt, when it received its initial theatrical experience by furnishing the “noise” down in front at the Athletic and (dec Club Benefit at the Lyric Theater. The packed house to which it played. was not only delighted, but even surprised at its remarkable achievements in so short a time. Having gained unbounded popular fav t by this time, the clever musical % I4 . The Yellow and White hunch” was called out to furnish music at a notable Social given by the Ladies Aid Society. The musical numbers were rendered with the utmost degree of perfection, and the orchestra again convincingly proved itself a great success. Having “proved its worth as The Journal remarked, it now settled down to the quiet, uneventful life of accompanying the Glee Club regularly on ednesday mornings, the singing J e-ing led by Mrs. Bosworth. the noted local vocalist. Such inspiration was instilled in every soul, on Wednesday mornings, at sight of the “orchestra down in front” that one would think that a thousand of Nature’s sweetest warblers, (more or less exaggerated) were pouring forth their sweetest sentiments through their exceedingly voluptuous voices. The Orchestra, as it seems, had to grow in number, for we next welcomed Velma Mainvarren, violinist, who has added immensely to our strength. Now under the vague impression that there might be some promising musicians among the intellectual body, yet undiscovered. a “committee of investigation was formed, and as a result, the organization was helpfully augmented by Miss Weber, and the Messrs Storer and Feldman. The complete organization. now numbering eleven pieces, needed competent coaching, which was obtained in the ability of the local cor-net;st. Mr. Milan Waller. Under such able instruction, the club has progressed wonderfully, and will soon be heard at the Commencement Exercises. This is a true, though somewhat humorous history of the orchestra, and the respective members wish to thank all those who have taken such great interest in it, for their hearty support, and hope above all that, as a result of their untiring efforts, they have, at last, succeeded in establishing once and forever, a musical organization in the Corry Nigh School, the highest popularity of which shall always be kept at its present status, or at a higher degree, if this be possible. Corry High School, and the citizens of Corry. especially, may well be proud of such an undertaking, which has succeeded so nobly, and it is to the everlasting interests of its citizens that it should be eager to assist in the maintenance of such a worthy organization. It is said that “the status of the educational conditions of a community is the direct expression of “the progression of such a community. Citizens, and students especially, by helping to boost, you may be proud of Corry. and bring it to a par with other model cities, by establishing and maintaining such organizations in the schools, as will tend to raise the standard of your local system of education. The class of 1915 has tried to raise the standard and has succeeded nobly. Now. it is up to the classes who follow in our foot-steps to do the same. Long may the Orchestra live in the minds of our fellow-students and citizens. and may it be the stimulus for the organization of similar clubs. Jacob Levy. 15. “Can you support a family? The cautious mother cried. “I only wanted Emily.” Mi Ion then replied. (Contributed) The Yellow and White ♦ o Manual (iraiiuna Five years ago the Manual Training Department of the Corry High School had its beginning in the basement of the high school. The equipment then consisted of only enough benches and tools to accommodate classes of but five students each. The work was very popular with the students and in the following years the equipment was increased so as to accommodate classes of fifteen. Owing to the development this department has surpassed all previous years, there being a total of one hundred and seventy-three taking this course front the grades and sixty-one front the high school. The year 1915 has been an exceptionally profitable one in this course of study, both the quantity and the quality of the work turned out this year being a credit to the students and the school. At the beginning of the term in 1913 of this course the quarters became inadequate and a larger and better room was prepared and put in service. The fitting up of this room was done almost entirely by the students. the Class of 1915 figuring prominently in this work. The equipment was also increased to accommodate nineteen students. This year the number of students in a course in Mechanical Drawing was instituted in Corry High in conjunction with the Manual Training course. The course began with a class of eight students and rapidly became popular. The year 1915 has shown a great increase in the number of students and a good quality of work along structural. architectural and mechanical lines has been turned out. The Yellow arui White Domestic Science 'flic purpose of Domestic Science and Domestic Art is to afford training in subjects that pertain to life in the home: to enable girls to become proficient in practical home life: to encourage application and develop skill. In the Corry Public Schools sewing is taught in the Sixth and Seventh Grades and one year in the High School course. The simple stitches are they make their cooking aprons and caps for the next year. 'I'he High School girls make all kinds of underclothing, simple dresses and shirt waists. The Domestic Science is taught two years: in the Eighth Grade and in the first year of High School. The first year work takes housekceping-lcs taught in the sixth grade, and they arc used on simple articles, such as sewing bags, pin balls, etc. Toward the end of the year the plainest of doll clothes are made, everything being made by hand. The seventh grade learn to patch, dam. and mend, then they take up machine sewing and begin to make simple garments. Among other things sons, the composition cooking of vegetables. cereals, milk, cheese, eggs, meat, candy, gelatin, doughs and batters. fish,cookies, salads, pie. puddings and cake. The second year work is partly a review of the first year, with the addition of preparation and serving of simple meals and more elaborate dishes. The Yellow and White ai)c ;Cctboralory 'flic laboratory, in which both chemistry and physics experiments arc performed. is located in large and well-lighted rooms on the second Poor. It is very well equipped, with tables, desks and lockers accommodating thirty-six students. The tables are supplied with gas and water and there is an excellent system of ventilation. The apparatus room may be converted into a dark room for experiments in light and photography. The supply cases are well stocked with reagents and many elements and compounds.

Mr. Edward Cretzler, Vice President and Miss Ethel Whittlesey, Secretary and Treasurer. The club ha« met every other Wednesday evening in the History Room of the High School and the membership has been limited to students studying German. Under the capable direction of Miss Kelsey, the German teacher, some very interesting programmes have been given. The chief aim of Der Deutsche Verein is to advance the study of the German language and this lias been done both by reading and conversation. A very interesting book. Traumerien. has been read and discussed in German and thru the kindness of Miss Kelsey the use of the German script has been taught. Besides being a study club Der Deutsche Verein is also a social club and aside from some hard study a general good time has been enjoyed by all of the members.
