Corry High took on a bright cheerful aspect. Why should it not, for were we not the class of 1916. We are proud of the fact that our class, consisting of over one hundred members, was the largest one which ever entered this noted emporium of learning. It is needless to say that all were eager to make this the best class yet. On September 17th. eight days after our entrance as Freshmen, we organized our class and elected Wallace Young as our President and Botmclle Jourdet Secretary and Treasurer. If we were to narrate the full extent of our trials and triumphs we should be obliged to use many pages, but in brief let us state a few of our most interesting experiences. We. uniting with the Sophomores, completely annihilated the two upper classes in the Hallowe’en parade by means of our magnificiently decorated float, winning first prize. At the close of our first year at school we sojourned to Lake Columbus, where we spent a very enjoyable time. In the way of athletics our members did very well. Our boys had a very successful season of football and also we won many victorys with a baseball team. The girls figured also in athletics, one of whom became captain, several making the varsity basketball team. We very auspiciously entered upon our second year In means of the warm welcome which we tendered to our deserving successors, the Freshmen. In the reorganization of our class we again chose Wallace Young as president with Stanley Pennell as vice-president and Bonnelle Jourdet Secretary and Treasurer. In the Hallowe'en parade of this year we again won first prize, adding greatly to our fame as decorators. Several of our members made the football team this year and our basket ball team made a good record, being the only team able to beat the Freshmen. Although slightly lessened in numbers, our class was still the larest one in the school. On class day we gained renown by the defense which we made against the combined attack of the Juniors and Freshmen classes. Soon after school opened in September, an election was held for class officers. Wallace Young again was elected Patif Thxrttm president. John Downey, vice president and Kathryn Smith Secretary and Treasurer. Our third year in High School was perhaps the most interesting of any. it was not until this year that the members got well acquainted with each other. This year we gave the Junior-Senior Reception which was the largest and best ever held. A detailed description of the Reception is given elsewhere in the book. After Lent the class gave a play called “W ho is Who. Perhaps the most interesting event in the whole year was the picnic held at Findley's Lake. The whole class, together with members of the Faculty, were conveyed to Findley’s on the motor truck. The girls had brought lunch which was served at right’s cottage, in the evening a dance was held at the Lake House, all left for home about ten o’clock after a most enjoyable time. At the beginning of our fourth and last year. Wallace Young was elected President. Klwin A Iverson vice-president and Kathryn Smith Secretary and Treasurer. The first event of interest was when the class, dressed ir. caps and gowns, entered the Hallowe’en parade. A dance was held in the Fastern Star hall after the parade. While the class did not obtain a prize, the good time they had more than paid for the trouble. Soon after this the Commercial students gave a party to the rest of the class, again everyone enjoyed themselves. After Christmas vacation the Juniors gave the yearly Junior-Senior Reception. It was a wonderful event, and the Juniors should be congratulated for the way in which the party was handled. Everyone present reported the best time ever. Again the class decided to enter into the theatrical business. “The Heavenly Twins” was presented by the class. All through the four years the class of 1916 has had their share in athletics, contributing good material for all the varsity teams. The class is now busy winding up their school year, getting essays ready, studying for the final exams and planning for Commencement. It truly has been a profitable four years. While the students are eager to enter into larger fields of work, yet it will be with regret that we leave Corrv High, for the days spent there have been happy and days never to be forgotten. 1‘ax' Fourteen RUTH AKAM M A R(;A R KT A LEX AN I) E R Basket ball captain (1) Class Reporter.

We entered the main camp with an army of ninety-seven recruits, who were ready for all hardships necessary to help and uphold the place which was now to have an important part in our lives. In this, our Freshman year, we had little chance to demonstrate the qualities of the class except by regular school work and the Betsy Ross Float which took the prize in the Hallowe'en parade. Also when class night came we proved that we had the spirit and were there, our enthusiasm became so great that—oh well! I am sure you all remember what happened- something which has never before or since. Our Freshman year ended with an enjoyable class picnic Back again, under the name of Sophomores. This year we exhibited our athletic talent, especially bv our basketball team which carried with it the name of the Soph team for some time. This year the class picnic was held at Findley’s Lake and was a day to be long remembered by all We entered our Junior field greatly decreased in numbers but not in expectations and determined that this year, which w:;s to be our first real chance to have an active part in the lli h world, would be a success in every way. Early in the term we began our planning for the Junior-Senior Reception. Many of our own classmen were highly opposed to the reception being carried on as it had formerly been, but we hail our hearts set on doing the best for our Seniors and after no little toil and trouble on our part everything was in readiness and on February 11th. 1915. the State Armory was opened to our more than welcome guests. So well did we succeed in our first great undertaking that we were named as an ideal model for our followers. However our success was not confined to this reception for the class excelled on all other requirements. This %ve owe in a large degree to the efforts of our well worthy president. Harold Patterson, under whose leadership we pulled together and proved to Corrv High that the Class of Seven teen consists of quality and not quantity. A good share of our High School life lies before us as a string of brilliant lights in the far away future and by oik next and final part of this life we promise to keep and if possible to add to our record of the ability and worth of our class.

W e were the largest class that had ever been enrolled. YVe wandered aimlessly through the halls wondering what we were supposed to do when we were startled by hearing a bell ring. Following the other classmen we found ourselves in a large room which we afterwards found out was the Study Hall. There Mr. Monroe explained to us what appeared to be a Chinese puzzle. on the front blackboard, and turned out to be our schedule of studies. When dismissal time came the boys got up ami walked slowly out of The room because they knew what was coming to them. Tall athletic youths swinging large, dangerous (?) looking paddles had kindly (?) notified them that they were going to get theirs. They sure got it! Our class will have the distinction of being the last class initiated into Corry High School in this manner. At our first class meeting we elected Paul Mcllines. President. Ralph Levy. Vice President. Leona Bentley. Secretary. and Florence Smith. 'Treasurer. Flornce resigned and Katherine Auer succeeded her. The first event that we took interest in was the Hallowe’en Mardi (iras parade. Later w« had a sleighride to the Yettenberg farm. W e were accom-vanied by Miss Thomas. Miss Short and Jacob Levy. We spent a very enjoyable evening. At the close of our Freshman year we had a picnic at Panama Rocks. The first half of the second year we held a meeting and chose Claude Lauer as President. Paul Me limes. Vice President and Katherine Auer. Secretary and Treasurer. We took part in the next Hallowe’en Mardi (Iras parade and had the luck to win the silver cup for the prettiest float. This we presented to the High School. The first sleighride of out Sophomore year was to Columbus, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs Brown. ICvery one had a very good time. The next sleighride was to the home of Marion Smith at Beaverdam. accompanied by Miss Thomas and Miss Coffey. We arrived home at a late hour. A very sad event occurred during our Sophomore year, and that was the death of one of our most popular and esteemed schoolmates.

After many sad vicissitudes, they found their hearings and were told to go to their section rooms. (The Sophs showed us the way. MAYBE.) In the mean-time quite a few brooms, axes, and mop-handles were collected in the hope to make some Freshy run. but due to the faculty all of this lumber (four cord and five feet) was given to Mr. Johnson. At our first meeting in the Mathematics room the following officers were elected for the term 1915-16: Victor Sumlean. President: Philip Young. Vice President: Irene Miller. Secretary and Treasurer. ()ur first great event was to get a float for the Hallowe’en parade. Although we had a good one the Sophs, had one better. e had several sleigh rides this winter and although the first one to Lovells was a miserable failure, at the other two everybody had a fine time. In football we played one game with the Sophs, getting the little end of a 12-0 game. In basket ball we played three games with the Young Men’s Bible (.'lass team and took two of them. A baseball team is being organized by some of the boys and we expect to beat every thing in town. Pagr Forty-three I’agr Forty four Faijr Forty-fire Corry High School had its beginning in ihe Hatch School building which was completed in the year of 1871. Miss Gertrude M. Kent who had bc?n teaching a primary grade was appointed principal of the High School in May, i 71, a position which she continued to fil1 for eighteen years. During the year 1«S73 Virgil (i. Curtis was elected City Superintendent. Mr. Curtis took an especial interest in the High School. He entered enthusiastically into the work of instruction and co-operated most heartily with Miss Kent, the principal. so as to enthuse the student body and create a strong interest in educational work. I'he first class to complete the prescribed course of study and graduate was in 1X74 when three young ladies. Estelle Conner (Phelps) Ella Hill (Cutting) and Mary Salisbury fPond), finished the necessary course of study. I'he first commencement was an event in local history. It was held in Wright’s Opera House, which stood on the site of the State Armory on East Washington Street, and was attended by a large audience. In 18 88, Miss Gertrude Kent decided to discontinue teaching and so resigned. Her retirement from the schools occasioned much regret. The Board, after considerable investigation chose Miss Dora Wells to be Miss Kent’s successor. The School made good progress under her principal-ship. During the next ten or twelve years the principalship or the High School was successively filled by Miss Caroline V. Coates Miss Allene M. Skinner. Mrs. Ada K. Butts and Mrs. Jennie W ard Davis. In the year 1896, the High School course was extended to four years and considerably strengthened by an extension of work in certain subjects and a revision of the course to conform more closely to recent thought along this line. Interest in the High School continued and the enrollment had now reached 112. 'Hu question of a new high school building had already betnin to he discussed seriously but the selection of a site was hopelessly balked by the differences arising from the division of the city by the railroads. With the opening of the schools in the fall of 1897 the High School had increased to 145 and it became necessary not 1‘aqr Forty-ait only to occupy the third floor of the Hatch building and use one of the recitation rooms for seating temporarily part of the school, but to employ an additional teacher. The situation became so acute that the board finally arranged for the selection of a site for a new High School building. The purchase was completed in 1898. plans were adopted and the contract let for the new building. The site selected fronted on Spring Street between South and Pleasant. The splendid building faced with buff brick, with Ohio sand stone trimmings is of Romanesque architecture. The corner stone was laid on May 23rd, 1899, with imposing ceremonies. As sembled about the site of the new building was gathered one of the largest audiences ever seen in the C ity. The program was impressive. After the singing of patriotic songs by the Schools and remarks by Mr. G. G. Usher, president of the hoard of directors, who deposited various relics in the metal box contained in the corner stone. Hon. Nathan C. Schaeffer. State Superintendent of Public Instruction delivered an able and inspiring address. Since the High School has had a building in which only the work of the High School is carried on. it has made rapid pr� gress. In the old days there was only one course of study—one course which would prepare students for college. Since then the commercial and scientific courses have been employed which promotes better work. In the last six or seven years courses in Manual Training. Mechanical Drawing and Domestic Art and Science have greatly added to the practical line of study, and efficient teachers have made this work very interesting. Comparatively recently, have athletics grown up in the school. Already they have succeeded in developing a strong school spirit, which is most necessary to the growth and welfare of any institution. The latest innovation is the Student Government Plan in which the students and faculty co-operate in making rules and enforcing them. This plan has worked most successfully in colleges and other High Schools, and it is the hope of the class of 1916 that the Student Faculty association may be continued for all time. Corry High School now stands on the approved list of many colleges and Corry is justly proud of a High School that has grown and developed so rapidly. Page Forty-seven Will Murry, presiding elder.

From last year’s team there were Percy and Paul LaPaze, Downey, Orn, Weiss and Mathews and together with the new men it was hoped that a good team could be produced. The first of the season was fairly successful, winning from Union City and tieing with Kdinboro and Oil City. Warren beat us on our own grounds, 13 to 7. It was after this that four teams cancelled for different reasons, and after five weeks of rest we were in no shape to play Warren on Thanksgiving Day. We did. however, and the score was 37 to 0 in their favor. Too much praise cannot be given Coach Taylor for the work he did for the team. Mr. Taylor has been the coach for past several years always developing a strong team. The line up for the season was as follows: Left End, ........................................Clough Left Tackle......................................Mathews Left Guard......................................Thompson Center...........................................Nichols Right Guard.....................................Davidson Right Tackle.........................................Orn Right End.........................................McLean Right Half (Capt.)..................................Paul LaPaze Left Half..........................................Percy LaPaze Full Back........................................Darling Substitutes: Weiss, Sample.

W hile all the men were new. the team made a good showing. Harlow, who acted as coach last year, and who will coach again this year, is a former Yale man. It was due to his efforts that Corrv High developed such a good team. At the Erie County meet held at Kric. Corry took second place, and at Meadville where they had to compete against men from Pittsburgh, Erie, and Meadville High Schools, we took eighth place. There were thirty two entries. Their showing was very good considering that it was Corrv’s first year. The officers for last year were Clough. Manager, and iret ler. Captain. The team this year started training as soon as the weather would permit. A better team than last year is expected. Manager Darling has arranged for a meet to be held at Corry May 30th. Erie. Union City. Warren. Kane. Erank Iin. Meadville. Oil City, and Titusville will send delegates. SENIOR CLASS YELLS. Chickamauga. Chattanoga Biff, boom bite. Nineteen Sixteen They’re alright!

Page Fifty-six Pa c l ijly rvcn February 12. 1915. was the date set for the great event. Plans had been in our minds for weeks and months, but as this date neared our plans were speedily and successfully carried out. Kveryone was loyal to the class and did their share of the work. Through the kindness of Mr. Monroe about twenty of us were allowed to miss school for one day in order to decorate the halls. We put in a day of hard work, even if we were not in school. However everything was completed in good shape. The banquet was served in the Presbyterian church. The decorations were really out of the ordinary Yellow and white were the colors used throughout the banquet hall, and the candelabra were of the same colors. The walls were covered with pennants and the ceiling was draped with yellow and white streamers of crepe paper. A very elaborate banquet was served, after which toasts were given. W allace Young, president of the Junior class cordially welcomed the Senior class of '15 and the Senior president. Wesley McKinney gave the “Response. Mr. Monroe performed well the duties of Toastmaster and wittily introduced the speakers. Mr. Wilson’s subject was “What’s in a Name and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all. as it contained hits on different members of the two classes. Mr. Brown spoke on “Fishing. and lie certainly handled the subject very well. When the electric sign was flashed, bearing “1916 in Green and White the friendly feeling of the Senior class was shown by their applause. We adjourned to the K. of P. Hall where a picture was taken. Then an informal dance took place. The dance hall had been artistically decorated in green and white. Pennants adorned the walls and cozy corners had been arranged. As a whole, the hall was very artistic and showed up all the hard work that had been put on it. Sherbet was served during the evening and the participants did not leave until a late hour. This Junior-Senior ws very well patronized by not only the students of the two classes but also by the School Board and the Faculty. '«V Fifty-ri-lht junior qran qb The Junior (Grange was organized by those young men in the Corrv High School who were interested in the means and ends of scientific agriculture. Twelve members were obtained and the following officers chosen: W orthy Master. W allace McCray. 17: Overseer. Frank Harrow. 'IS; Lecturer M. L. Brown. 09: Secretary. Howard Hammond. 17: Treasurer. Paul Crowell. '17. The officers immediately got in touch with the County gricultural Agent and with the local Orange. Through these agencies the members are able to be benefited by many lectures and demonstrations. Several members are now enrolled in the county Corn and Potato Raising ( ontest. I he social side of the club has not been forgotten. Refreshment and informal d'seu-si ms relieve the monotony of the meetings. I’he junior (irangc has recently obtained club rooms through the courtesy of Hon. (i. 1). Heath. These rooms are being fitted up by the members. An agricultural library of several volumes has been started by the members and is steadily growing. The (irangc is a live organization. It has a de'ir.ite purpose and gives promise of some surprising results. v. Am VI U « ' '• I’iihi-nine In the year of 1914-15 we made quite a good progress in music in the High School. The orchestra under Mr. Levy was very good and deserves much credit. This year, 15-16. we started in very well. The orchestra, although it has only played two or three times for us. has still shown great skill, and Mr. A Iverson should receive great credit as Leader of the Orchestra. The (ilee Club consists of three first Tenors, three Second Tenors, two first Bass and two second Bass, with Mrs. Bos-worth, who has been kind enough to help them out. Thanks to her careful tutorage the Glee Club of Corry High is well worth mention as a School organization.

Vif r Six! ,-four lJagc Sixty-five Domestic Art ancH Science In the year of 1910 Domestic Art was started in Corry High School. 'I'he department is located in the southwest corner of the basement of the High School building. It is equipped with the necessary working material. Mere the girls of the sixth and seventh grades and girls of the High School are given sewing instructions for one hour each week. The girls are first taught the different stitches and terms used, then they apply them t � practical work, making such articles as towels, work bags and pin cushions. The girls in the sixth grades do the work by hand, while the girls in the High School and seventh grades are taught to use the machines and make wearing apparel. The Domestic Science department is situated across the hall from the room devoted to Art and is well equipped. Merc the girls of the High School and eighth grades spend one hour each week. The chief principles and essentials in cooking and dietetic work are taught. There are one hundred and twenty-eight girls enrolled in the Domestic Art course and sixty-seven in the Science course. ‘age Sixty m riic Manual Training Department under Mr. J. B. Johnson. has rapidly increased. They can now accommodate 1«X pupils at one time. All kinds of furniture and useful articles are made by the pupils, and some very good work is turned out by them. They will never regret the time spent here, for to be able to handle a saw. hammer and plane to good advantage, is something everyone should be able to do. In connection with Manual Training, pattern making has been added. This work has been taken up mostly by the pupils in High School. For this work a lathe has been pur chased. This lathe cost over a hundred dollars, part of the money being contributed by the Alumni. All kinds of wood turning can be done on it. Mr. Johnson also has charge of the Mechanical drawing. The old Manual Training room is now used for this purpose. Many girls as well r.s boys are interested in this work, which is a great help to those who intend going on to college. lJa' e Sixty-germ Tft« Laboratory The Laboratory which occupies the southeast, second floor corner is one of the most complete laboratories in this part of the country. lloth the Physics and the C hemistry experiments are done here, liach pupil has his own place to work which consists of a sink, running water, and a gas jet. New apparatus is being added each year. 1'he students should congratulate themselves for having such a fine laboratory at their disposal. ‘aye Sixty-eight Commercial IDspartment The Commercial department occupies two rooms in the north-west corner of the second floor; in one room the typewriters are kept, all instructions in typewriting being given here. In the room adjoining is the bookkeeping department. Miss Mary B. Coffey has charge of this department. Nearly as many students take up the commercial work as do the college preparatory and scientific courses. ‘a e Sixty-nine Utmdent-Faculty Association President Wallace Young. N ice-President .. Secretary junior Sophomore Sophomore Freshman Faculty Faculty Principal For the first time in the history of Corry High School the students have a part in the discipline of the school. A petition presented hy the Senior class to the Faculty, asking for some sort of an “Honor System” was accepted hy them and the Student-Faculty Association was formed. The purposes of the Association are to raise the standards of scholarship; to promote school spirit; to strive towards an efficient, modern utility of the school plant, 'file officers of the Association consists of a President. Vice-President, and a Secretary. included in a Council of nine (9) members. The president is elected by the Senior class. The vice-president is elected by the Junior class. One Council member is elected by the Sophomore class and one by the Freshmen. One Faculty member is elected by the school at large. One member from each of the three upper classes and one Faculty member is elected to the Council by the Faculty. The Principal acts as “ex officio” member to the Council. The Secretary is elected from the Council by the school at large. All matters pertaining to the High School are brought before the Council; they decide upon it and fix all penalties for misconduct. This organization has been the greatest achievement ever produced in C. H. S. It shows the development of the students by their being willing to give up their petty rivalry and love of fun for the more serious work of their lessons. Great credit must be given to the Class of 1916 for introducing this system into the High School. It is to be hoped that this system will continue and that it will produce much better students and be a help to both students and teachers Page Seventy l-S's Mmtuml JkccMent dij.
