We had been anticipating this event for some time with mingled emotions of fear and longing, and it was with a sigh of relief that we found ourselves, nearly one hundred strong, settled in our respective sections. The class was organized with the following officers: George Wright, president; Walter Lander, vice president; Helen Heath, secretary; and Glenn Dickson, treasurer. In January we attempted a sleigh-ride but owing to difficulties caused by a blizzard, we returned to the Eastern Star Hall, where a good time was enjoyed. We took part in the High School organizations, such as the Glee Club, Orchestra, and Basketball, and also did our share in supporting the Red Cross, Y. M. C. A., and Liberty Bond drives. The following year we assembled as dignified Sophomores and elected George Wright, president; Glenn Dickson, vice president; Marion Thompson, secretary; and Thomas Burkhart, treasurer. We still continued to support the various war drives. This year closed with an enjoyable outing at Findley Lake. We entered our Junior year with a determination to make our class a factor in Corry High School and at once elected Ehvin McCray, president; Anna Downey, vice president; and Marion Thompson, secretary and treasurer. Later Editha Verfurth was appointed class reporter for the Fligh School Notes. The first demonstration of our united efforts was the winning cf the first prize in the Athletic Association Membership contest. Our labors were rewarded by a beautiful pennant in the class colors. At Hallowe’en we entered the parade with a fine float and were successful in winning a prize. Soon we began elaborate plans for the Junior-Senior Reception, which has long been the big event of the school year. It was held at the State Armory on Friday evening, January 23. At seven o’clock the banquet was served by Mrs. Hoenes. The banquet hall was decorated in the Senior colors, green and white. Mr. Monroe presided as toast master and appropriate remarks were made by the class presidents and members of the faculty. The dance hall was tastefully decorated in purple and white, our class colors. Unique favors were distributed during the grand march and dancing was enjoyed until one o’clock. We received many compliments on the success of our reception. PAGE 14 THE TYRIAN We went into athletics as a Class and organized a basketball team which won two-thirds of the games played. At the inter-class track meet held in May we carried away first honors with little difficulty. We completed our career as Juniors with a picnic at Findley Lake. The fall of 1920 found us returning to school as Seniors with our ranks somewhat thinned but with our determination redoubled. We organized for the last year with the following officers: Hubert Morrison, president; Carl Christensen, vice president; and Editha Verfurth, secretary and treasurer. In October we were invited to Hassett’s farm where we enjoyed a corn roast and barn dance. We began our preparations for a Hallowe’en float with much enthusiasm. After much planning and hard work we entered the parade with a Hawaiian boat in which rode four girls in native Hawaiian costume. The float was drawn by six boys also in Hawaiian garb. We felt that our efforts were amply rewarded when we received first prize. The Juniors showed much spirit in putting over the Junior-Senior at which we were entertained on January 25. We wish to congratulate the Juniors on the success of their reception. Our school days are nearly over and in publishing this year book we realize, with regret, that we are performing our last rites in Corry High. Class Colors - - Purple and White Class Flower - - - - V iolet Class Motto Quand meme PAGE 15 THE TYRIAN SIGNA ANDERSON Glee Club Accompanist (2-3-4) President Library Committee (4) Throughout her high school career Signa has been recognized as a musician of no mean ability. Her piano solos have always been greatly appreciated. As a student she also ranks high and she has done much to make the C. H. S. Library a success. EDYTHE BULLER Edy” Library Monitor (4) Never downhearted—that’s “Edy.” Her good nature overflows in a giggle. She has always taken an interest in any class activity. CARL CHRISTENSEN “Christie” His ability as a student has always been remarkable. If the degrees “Chemistry Shark” and “Mathematics Shark” were awarded, “Christie” would certainly receive them. Never out with the girls much; perhaps he’s too busy; perhaps PAGE 16 EDWARD CHAMPION “Chid” Library Monitor (4) ‘ Behold a man diligent in Business. Chid is the proud possessor of a bushy pompadour and a broad smile. However this has not hindered him from being a good Commercial student. ANNA DOWNEY “Red Vice President (3) Vice President Athletic Association (4) Very popular among the Senior boys, especially those whose last names begin with “W. Has proven to be efficient on bake sale and decorating committees. GLADYS DIMMICK Dim Glee Club (1) In Dim” we have another excellent student. Evidently, however, she does not believe that slang should be abolished; for her conversation would be impossible without it. In reciting she always starts. “Well.” THE TYRIAN LUCY DESCHAMP A partner in the firm “Deschamp and Dempsey. The object of both members is to remain quite until called upon to recite and to become interested in all class doings. ROSALLENE DEMPSEY Library Monitor (4) See the above; we must avoid repetition. JOSEPHINE DUFFY “Jo Glee Club (3) She has accomplished in three years what others have hard work to do in five or six. Although she is much interested in study, she has shown her interest in other activities, especially in the Political Rally. PAGE 18 RKNO FARRELL Library Montior (4) Reno is very friendly and has been well liked all through high. Strange as it may seem there are two types of girls he can’t get along with well blondes and brunettes. CAMERON HOENES “Cam” Vice President Athletic Association (3) Basketball (Manager) (3-4) Under “Cam” the basketball team has been managed in a very businesslike manner. His ability as a player was well shown in the Kane game when he held the famous Morgan well in check. Favorite subject Caesar. AVIS GROUP “Number, please” that’s Avis. She works at the Union Telephone office and spends all her wages for nail files. She tries to tell us she’s going to be a school teacher but Chuck and the rest of us think differently. THE TYRIAN HELEN HEATH Secretary (1) Year Book Staff (4) Deep thinking, serious and hardworking are Helen’s strong characteristics. She is an excellent debater and gets much practice arguing with Mildred. IRENE JORDAN Commercial subjects have been Irene’s lavorites. In Lit. she seldom tailed to recite. Always expresses her opinion whatever it is :.i.d wherever she is. LOUIS MILLER “Louie” Football (4) “Louie” tried to follow in the footsteps of Huckleberry Finn, but since Mr. Brown ‘ explained matters” to him he does his hu iting and fishing outside of school hours. PAGE 20 THE TYRIAN HUBERT MORRISON “Hu” President (4) President Athletic Association (4) Basketball (3-4) Captain (4) Glee Club (4) The record Hu has made in high can be readily seen by noting the offices he has held. He played a steady game at forward in basketball and did much in establishing the team’s fine record. ELWIN McCRAY Mac President (3) Editor-in-Chief Year Book (4) Glee Club (4) “Mac” was the best class president we ever had with the exception of Wright and Morrison. In high he has developed a strong liking for Lit. He is thinking of writing a book entitled “The Trials and Difficulties of a Year Book Editor. ROY MORTZ Happy Basketball (3-4) Football (Captain) (4) For a happy-go-lucky, care-free fellow we refer you to Hap.” He has no particular girl but likes them all. “Hap was a large sized cobble in the “stone-wall” defense mentioned in the basketball write-ups. PAGE 21 THE TYRIAN HOWARD PIER ‘Kelley Basketball (4) Football (4) We always had the idea “Kelly” was slow but the basketball team sure got him going this year. A good player in both basketball and football. Favorite occupation telling jokes. ROLAND ROSS “Rossie” Track (3) Year Book Staff (4) Whatever “Rossie” was asked to do to boost the school or the class he always went at it with a will. His long legs made him a fast man on the track; he is strong in the half-mile. WARREN RATHBUN Here we have Scholton’s only rival tor the tallest person in the class. Warren’s recita-tations in Lit. and History take the prize. It's not always what he says but the way he says it. PAGE 22 THE TYRIAN MILDRED SANDBURG Year Book Staff (4) Mildred is a shark in all subjects. She excells especially in Lit. Usually found discussing some deep philosophical subject with Helen. GLADYS SKINNER Glee Club (3-4) If anyone in the class studies hard, Gladys surely does. It has been rumored that she spends twenty hours of the day studying, four hours eating and sleeping, and the rest of the time on frivolity. RUTH SKINNER “Rufus” Glee Club (3-4) Ruth hails from the district known as North Corry. Spends much time studying and walking to and from school. Thinks about as much of the hoys as Gladys does PAGE 23 THE TYRIAN NELL SWEET Nell is a typical Senior dignified, likes the hoys, etc. She was never known to go with any one fellow more than two or three times. Came near to being a martyr for her belief in the ancient custom of note-writing. NORMAN SCHOLTON “Scholtie” Track (3) Here we have the model good (?) boy of the class. He resides in Columbus, Pa., the other terminal of the Tuneville Trolley. Judging from the number of years he spent in high he has enjoyed his stay very much.

Treasurer Athletic Association (4) Glee Cluh (1-2-3-4) President Musical Cluh (4) Year Book Staff (4) Basketball (3-4) Manager (4) In Basketball, class activities, singing, school spirit and other things too numerous to mention “Tim is there.” Favorite subject Chemistry. ■v LLOYD THOMAS Punk Year Book Staff (4) Glee Club (3-4) Here is the Year Book artist, who is responsible for some of the fine drawings in this book. Has also added to the volume of the Glee Club selections.

Wherever there is to be a good time, both are always there. Ed is a man-hater ???? (perhaps) DOROTHY WH1TELEY “Dot” In class spirit “Dot” has never been found wanting. She has been an excellent Commercial student and we predict a successful business career. Often disagrees with the teachers about her marks. C TCRGE WRIGHT “Bene” President (1-2) President Athletic Association (3) Business Manager Year Book (4) Basketball (3-4) Track (3) Glee Club (3-4) Lots of pep and noise that’s “Bene.” As a basketball player he certainly is fast in the game from start to finish. “Red” is his favorite (color.) PAGE 26 THE TYRIAN CLASS SONQ (Tune: “Margie”) You can talk about your high schools. We can talk of’ one to you; Other schools may laugh at our athletics Yet we beat mighty Kane, it’s true. Chorus Dear Corry High School, We’ll always think about you, Corry; We’ll tell the world we love you— We won’t forget the lesson you taught; We have learned that just the best can reach success. For Corry although examination days were ever blue-After all is said and done, There is really only one, Oh, Corry High School, it’s you. You can talk about your school affairs, Here’s one we must tell to you We have worked both night and day, with prayers, Until exams were finally through. Have you heard about our faculty ? They deserve credit, it is true; Everything they do, just seems all right; Rut now we’re leaving them and you. PAGE 27 THE TYRIAN THE SENIOR FAREWELL We Seniors are all leaving, Yes, and some are glad to go; But some will miss the high school friends Whom they have learned to know. You know we hate to leave you, And the laughter and the fun; The happy days we spent with you Are done; yes, they’re all done. “Good-bye, our fellow school-mates,” We’ll loathe to say that word; For deep within our hearts, for you, A tender chord is stirred. Good-bye, and luck be with you! Success on you attend! We wish you well, where’er you go When your days at high school end. —R. G. D.

After we had spent several days learning the methods and customs of the high school we decided to organize and elected the following officers: Ellis Troy, president; Lulu Morton, secretary; and Gracia Dickson, treasurer. We closed our first year with a picnic at Columbus. When we entered the next fall as Sophomores it was with much enthusiasm and a desire to make our class the best in the school. The officers during this year were: Lyle Belding, president; Lulu Morton, vice president; Lucille Heath, secretary; and Alice Higgins, treasurer. George Mulderick was appointed class reporter when the publication of the C. H. S. Notes began. At Hallowe’en, because of hard work of a few of our members and the assistance of Mrs. C. A. Pain, we were able to enter a fine float in the parade and were successful in obtaining first prize. The most enjoyable features of the year were two sleigh-rides, one to Lovells and one to Spring Creek. At the end of the year we held a picnic at Findley Lake. At the beginning of our Junior year Hartley Stockham was elected president the other officers chosen being: Boyd Parker, vice president; Lucille Heath, secretary; Marion Magrath, treasurer. This year we did not write any “Notes” to be published in the C. H. S. Notes neither did we write many notes of any other kind. The Junior-Senior Reception was the cause of much discussion, but wc finally put it over to the satisfaction of everyone concerned. In these preceeding years we have entered loyally into the activities of Corry High and we are confident, that as leaders in our Senior year, we will guide all activities successfully through.

Accordingly the class of 22 were hosts at a reception and banquet to the class of’21 on Tuesday evening, January twenty-fifth. After the guests, including Juniors, Seniors, members of School Board and Faculty had assembled, a very enjoyable banquet was served by Mrs. Hoenes. The dining room was decorated in the Senior colors, purple and white. The walls were adorned with large purple 21 s, festoons of purple crepe paper were hung across the room, and the lights shaded with purple gave a subdued glow. Supt. Hemstreet acted as toastmaster, introducing each speaker with a few befitting remarks. Hartley Stock ham, president of the Junior class, welcomed the guests and the response was made by Hubert Morrison, Senior president. An inspiring talk on The Future” was given by Mr. Brown, after which Mr. Sheen spoke briefly, but with enthusiasm, on the subject “Athletics.” We then returned to the dance hall which was decorated, under the supervision of Mrs. Pain, in red and white, the Junior colors. The orchestra platform was inclosed by a lattice work interwoven with garlands of flowers, and white crepe paper streamers hung from the lights. Wires covered with red flowers were stretched across the hall and from the center of the ceiling was suspended a large red and white basket which, much to the surprise of everyone, opened at the close of the grand march, allowing a shower of confetti and small red and white Junior pennants to fall upon the guests. Window draperies of red and white, wicker furniture and floor lamps around the sides of the hall added a very homelike appearance. The grand march was led by Hubert Morrison and Margaret Foley and was followed by dancing. Amusement was also provided for those who did not dance in the way of games, cards, pictures and a general musical program between dances. A flashlight picture was taken in front of the orchestra platform. Our Junior-Senior reception was a success as we had anticipated and an event in school life which we shall always remember.

(Exit all) Such was our introduction into high school life. About a week later Mr. Monroe assisted us in electing the following officers: president, Sumner Bentley; vice-president, Mary Spiesman; secretary, Dorothy Loveland; and treasurer, Isabelle Edwards. Our main social event during the winter was a sleigh-ride to Spring Creek, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all attending. At the mid-year exams it was a case of the survival of the fittest,” since we lost some of our classmates. At the inter-class track meet in May we won third place, thus scoring our first victory over the class of ’22. Our first year closed with a picnic at Columbus. Our Sophomore year has been characterized mainly by hard study. However, late in the fall we enjoyed a corn-roast at Klinger’s Grove. We are proud of our record in Athletics. When the campaign for Athletic Association membership was launched, we responded well. We have also furnished several players for the basketball Teams. Our second year in high school has ended. Next year we are Juniors— “Watch out for us.” PAGE 38 THE FRESHMEN THE FRESHMEN THE TYRIAN FRESHMAN CLASS President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Clifford Anderson Ruth Anderson Robert Akam Vinson Babcock Eva Baeder Dorr Barton Francis Bolding Everett Bellen Charles Blackman Max Blakeslee Ernest Brockman Mary Brockman Mary Burkhart Martha Burnett Opal Burrows George Butters Ralph Carpenter Agnes Carroll Maizie Carroll Harvey Crosscut Victor Dempsey Henry Duffy Maxine Durham Marjorie Durlin Ethel Ewing Genevieve Foley William Foley Elizabeth Gehret Burdette Gifford Clifford Goodrich Mildred Goring Lawrence Gretzler Marjorie Hammond Howard Hand Millicent Hasbrouck Willis Heath Mildred Henry Phillip Herron Mabel Hodge Max Hoenes Lila Hubbcll Mildred Kepplc Edith Klinger Irene Kosmoski Elsie Kromas Beatrice Lawson Merrill Lillie Harry Lillie Florence Lindquist Emily Lindsley James Loveland Harvey Loveland Edward Lucey Thomas Maloney Florence Mattcson Lena Mattcson Susie Mattcson Retha May Edward Messenger Frederick Miller - Max Hoenes - Phina Shean Hazel Sweet - William Shuss Lucille Miller Dorothy Monroe Florence Monroe Anna Morrison Margaret Mulderick Alma McCray Margeret McCray Ruth McCray Katherine Magrath Albert McLean Helen Nantes Carl Nelson Margaret O’Day Helen Peterson Ruth Powers Katherine Purcell Rosie Purpura Jean Robertson Ramsey Rogers Raymond Sandburg Esther Sexton Anita Shank Katherine Shaver Phina Shean William Shuss Jeanie Sitler Marguerite Smith Helen Spencer Smith Spencer Paul Stockham Genevieve Stultz Virginia Stultz Hazel Sweet Alta Taylor Pauline Thompson Georgiana Thompson Mildred Triscuit Evelyn Verfurth Ralph Ward Harold Willett Albert Young PAGE 41 THE TYRIAN FRESHMAN CLASS HISTORY ‘8? We were crowded in the High School, Not a soul would dare to speak; Our elders arrived before us And we couldn’t find a seat. Suddenly in the midst of it all The chapel bell did ring. And bravely to the study hall We went, we thought, to sing. In we marched with heads erect, A respectable looking crowd, But all the pride was taken from us By the clapping long and loud. We the class of 1924, entered High School on September 7, 1920 (as per descriptive verses above) and a few days later held our first election of officers. Max Hocnes was chosen president; Phina Shean, vice-president; Hazel Sweet, secretary; and William Shuss, Treasurer. Our class enlisted nearly 100% in the Athletic Association when the annual drive for Membership was held. We also supported the teams throughout the year by attending the g im s and joining in the school yells. Perhaps the “Wicked Witch” cast a spell over the Green and White when the class of 1920 bequeathed their colors to us; at least sun, wind, snow; and rain seemed determined to defy our plans. Our only important social event was a hay rack ride. We intend to make our record during our Sophomore year equal to that of any former Sophomore class. “Watch Us!” PAGE 42 THE TYRIAN The Athletic Department of this book is dedicated to HOWARD J. SHEEN through whose assistance as coach and faculty adviser athletics have been revived in Corry High r A G F. 44 THE TYRIAN THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION President Vice President Secretary Treasurer 'S? Hubert Morrison Anna Downey Editha Verfurth Marion Thompson The interest and support of the student body as a whole has aided much in building up a better school spirit and better athletics this year. Early in the year the Athletic Association was reorganized and the students enlisted nearly 100$ in the annual membership drive. Each member of the Association paid 75 cents and was admitted to all football games without charge. A dance was held for the benefit of the Association on September 29. A lar c number of couples attended and thoroughly enjoyed the dancing. The affair was a financial as well as a social success. Saturday, October 2, was Athletic Association Tag Day. A large committee of girls were cn the streets all day and very few people, who appeared in the business section, escaped being tagged. A sum of over $250 was realized from the sale of the “pasteboard squares.” Before the basketball and football games mass meetings were held in the Study Hall at which songs and yells were practiced. Max Hoenes served as Cheer-leader and put much life into the cheering of the students. This has been a good year from the Athletic standpoint. In leaving, the Class of 1921 believes that it will only be necessary to say: Your pep, your pep, You’ve got it, now keep it, Dog-gone you, don’t lose it, Your pep, your pep, etc. QRIDIRON TERMS The football player watched his girl Eat more food than she’d orter, And said, “You’ve sure run up the score. And now it’s the last quarter.” —Sun Dial. PAGE 45 THE TYRIAN IRA C 19 2 0 It was largely because of the willingness of the students to participate and the assistance ot Mr. Sheen as coach that a track team was made possible last year. Although this was the first time that this branch of athletics had been developed in the High School, a fairly strong team was produced. The results were very gratifying for the first attempt. The use of the half mile track at the Fair Grounds was obtained. This furnished an excellent place to train and to hold meets. Considerable rivalry and enthusiasm was shown at an inter-class meet held on Wednesday afternoon. May 12. The class of 1921 easily took first honors, securing 46 2 points. The class of 1920 won second place with 30' points, the Freshmen third place with 8 points and Sophomores last, obtaining 5 points. The events and winners are listed below: Event First Place Second Place Third Place 100 yard dash Dickson ’21 Hoenes ’20 S Osterman ’21 Westley ’20 220 yard dash Dickson ’21 Hoenes ’20 Osterman ’21 440 yard dash Wright ’21 Dickson ’21 Hoenes ’20 Half mile Akam ’23 Ross ’21 Spiesman ’20 One mile Wright ’21 Akam ’23 Johnson ’20 Two mile Gates ’20 Spiesman ’20 Brundage ’21 Broad jump Osterman ’21 Dickson ’21 Wright ’21 High Jump ) Dickson ’21 I Scholton ’20 Osterman ’21 Pole vault Squire ’22 Westley ’20 Scholton ’20 Shot put Gates ’20 Dickson ’21 Brundage ’21 The following Saturday Corry High was represented by a team at the county meet at Erie. Although the team secured only third place, it showed the other schools in the county that Corry High School was coming to life, athlet-icly speaking, and that more could be expected of her in the future. PAGE 46 THE TYRIAN roofBALL 19 2 0 Football another sport almost unheard of in Corry High in recent years was taken up last fall. If any team ever worked under a handicap, this year’s football team certainly did. Some of those who turned out for practice had never even seen a game. After a month of hard practice, Coach Sheen announced a regular lineup and a short schedule ol games was played. At the close of the season the team included: Group - - Quarter back Mort: (Captain) - Full back Dickson, Spiesman - Half backs Pier, Scholton - - Ends Jewell, Smith - - Tackles Manwarren, Hammond - Guards Brundage - - Center • Stockham, Flaherty, McLean Subs Miller and Akam both received injuries which prevented them from playing in the last game. In spite of the fact that the team was decisively defeated in every game, it was not a failure; every game showed improvement. With many of this year’s team back, a very strong eleven should represent C. H. S. next year. The 1920 schedule follows: ♦Sept. 25 Youngsville 72 C. H. S. 0 Oct. 9 Mayville 26 a 0 Oct. 16 Union City 61 1C 0 Oct. 23 Union City 20 cc 0 Played away from home N BYQONE DAYS A man went into a bar-room and asked for squirrel whisky. Bartender: “We have no squirrel whisky but we have some old crow.” Man: “Nope, won’t do. Don’t want to fly, just want to hop around.”- Ex. PAGE 47 THE TYRIAN 19 2 0-19 21 One of the strongest basketball fives, which ever represented Corry High, was this year’s team. Coach Sheen, Manager Hoenes and Captain Morrison worked hard for the success of the team; the result of their efforts can be seen by referring to the schedule. The team won eleven of the twenty-four games played. Every game was with a team of equal or more experience and those who patronized the High School games saw very few one-sided contests. No better forwards than Wright and Morrison could be asked for; they could be counted on to secure the major part of the points in every game. Hoenes at center, assisted especially in the defense and usually came through for his share of the field goals. The defense was handled in excellent manner by Mortz and Group, who were described in the sporting articles as “stone-wall.” The substitutes Pier, Spiesman and Scholton could be depended on to do their part when it was necessary for them to enter the game.

They came, they saw, and WERE conquered on January 29, 1921. Corry apparently cinched the game in the first half, this period ending 18 to 8 in their favor. In the second half however Kane made a desperate spurt and tied the score. The rest of the game drove the crowd wild with applause. Corry broke loose and kept the scorekceper marking down two-pointers for them until the end of the game. The final score being 37-27. Had this been the only victory of the season the team would have been worth-while; many other victories proved it doubly worth-while. PAGE 48 THE TYRIAN BASKETBALL TEAM PAGE 49 THE TYRIAN GIRLS BASKET BALL TEAM PAGE 50 THE TYRIAN QIRLS BASKETBALL v Although the girls’ team did not play a heavy schedule, it has been a success in every way. The success of the team is due to the coaching of Mr. Sheen, and the hard work of Marion Thompson as manager, and Dorothy Loveland as captain. The team line up: Tim Thompson and Dot Loveland, forwards; Mary Spiesman, center; and Ruth Hall and Margaret Spiesman, guards; with Betty Cary and Audrey Mertz as subs. Out of seven games with other High fives, the girls won four. In addition they played and won four games with local teams, making a total of eight victories out of eleven games played.

The season was cut short at both ends due to the fact that the grounds were not in playing condition until long after practice should have been well under way, and that school closed about two weeks earlier than usual. As a result it was possible to arrange only two games, one with the Raymonds and the other with Youngsville High School. Although the team was defeated in both of these games some good material was shown to be at hand. However, since a track team gives opportunity for more students to take part and since a good start was made along this line last year, it has been decided to devote the entire time this spring to developing a strong track team.

Marion Thompson was elected president, George Wright, secretary and treasurer. Later chairman for two different branches were appointed, Editha Verfurth for the Glee Club, Elwin McCray for the Orchestra. As it was found impossible to secure a leader, the plans for an Orchestra was dropped, while the Glee Club continued with the assistance of Bernice Man-warren. Special programs were arranged for Thanksgiving and Christmas. On Thursday evening, January sixth, the Musical Club gave a party in the High School which proved to be a great success, over fifty being present Dancing and music were enjoyed and refreshments were served in the Domestic Science room by the committee. Although this year the Musical Club did not reach perfection, the enthusiasm for one has been aroused. Next year it is hoped there will be a well organized club to aid in keeping up the school spirit in Corry High. THE SHORTHAND CLUB Early in April the students of the first year Shorthand class organized a local Shorthand club. The aim of the organization is to assist its members in every way to become first-class stenographers. The officers elected were as follows: Ralph Jewell, president; Irma Sullivan, vice-president; and Ruth Hall, secretary and treasurer. An Amusement Committee was chosen to provide social affairs for the club. Although organized late in the term, the officers promise that the club will accomplish much before school closes in June. THE HIQH SCHOOL LIBRARY Since the removal of the city library to the new building the high school students have been considerably inconvenienced in securing reference material until this year. Early in the term Mr. Brown appointed a Library Committee which met and elected the following officers: Signa Anderson, president; Lucille Heath, vice-president; and Harold Dugan, secretary-treasurer. This committee with the assistance of our principal has made the C. H. S. Library a success in every detail. The use of the room -formerly occupied by the city library was secured. The Board of Education granted a sum of money to be used in the purchase of books. The reference books in the various class rooms were collected and placed on the shelves where they could be easily found at any time of the day. In addition to reference books the library contains a number of volumes of fiction used in the supplementary work in the English and History departments and for general reading. The student body contributed sufficient funds to place a large number of magazines on the reading tables. Library Monitors were appointed, each to have charge of the library for one period a day. As far as possible they maintained peace and order in the room and recorded the number using the library each period. The Corry High School library has been started may it continue to grow. PAGE 54 THE TYRIAN THE POLITICAL CAMPAIQN •� A week before the Presidential election last fall, it was decided that the students in the history department would hold a series of political rallies, so that interest in the functioning of our government and the privileges of citizenship might be aroused. The first step was “registration” of the party affiliation of each student in the history classes. Then the Republican students were grouped together, and certain prominent ones elected to take part in the rally. It was decided that this rally could fittingly be held on Roosevelt’s birthday, October 27. which day happened to be Arbor Day, as well. So a chairman, Ralph Jewell, was chosen, who presided with much dignity, and introduced the various speakers. Mr. Brown gave a splendid talk on forestry and George Wright spoke of Roosevelt the man, emphasizing especially his political career. Edward Champion followed, with an account of Warren G. Harding’s life and his fitness for the great office to which he aspired. Lois McCray concluded the student part of the program with several well thought out reasons why she intended to vote for Mr. Harding. Interspersed with these talks, of course, various patriotic songs were sung by the student body, and the rally ended with enthusiasm for Harding at the boiling point. Two days later, the Prohibition rally was held, with Raymond Squire occupying the chair. Mr. A. L. Cottrell talked to the students, speaking briefly of the history of the Prohibition party, and ending with a plea for temperance in all things. On the day before election, the Democrats held their rally. The night before, some of the leaders put their heads together and decided to decorate the study hall. So when the early arrivals began to come the next morning, they found the room draped with flags, and pictures of Cox displayed on every available inch of wall space. When it was time to begin, the Democrats, who happened to possess among their number several good singers and song leaders, came marching in the study hall, singing “We Cox men are coming, ho ho, ho ho.” The Republicans already in the room tried to drown them out, and after this medley of noise had died down, Paul Spiesman took the chair as presiding officer. Donald Ewing gave the career of James M. Cox, emphasizing his fitness for the office to which he aspired. Josephine Duffy followed and told why she should vote for Cox, analyzing carefully the League of Nations issue. The rally PAGE 55 THE TYRIAN closed with the singing of another campaign song written to the tune of a popular melody. At the Republican and Democratic rallies, through the kindness of Mr. James H. Wright, both candidates for the presidency, ss well as several other important men and women in each party, addressed the students on the issues of the election. On Election Day, the various history classes took about ten minutes in each class to vote. To save time, only the Presidential ballot was voted. Four tellers, carefully selected with regard to party, were appointed to open the ballot box at the close of school and count the votes. As a result of the election, Harding was chosen with a good majority, though Cox made a very respectable showing. There were a few scattered votes for the Prohibition candidate, and one lone follower of Debs. On the whole, the rallies were decidedly worth while, for not only did they arouse interest in national affairs, but they afforded a practical laboratory exper-iment in citizenship a privilege that every student will automatically fall heir to at the age of twenty-one. Because of the modern emphasis upon training in citizenship as the most important work of the school, such laboratory work is being carried on in all progressive schools. They are being conducted in an absolutely non-partizan manner, so that not even the narrowest and most antiquated party member can, upon proper investigation find any grounds for objection. M. E. K. Miss Kenney (discussing freedom of speech in America) Any old crank can get on a corner and talk all they want to, today.” Now we know the ‘‘constitutional authority” for holding teachers’ meetings PAGE 56 THE TYRIAN BETTER SPEECH WEEK ■a? Schools all over the United States are endeavoring to effect a standard speech, one in which clearness in expression and ease in enunciation are acquired as habits. Since it is recognized that pure and accurate speech can result only from dilligent effort, “Better Speech Week” has been established as a nation wide institution for the purpose of arousing a thorough and patriotic interest among students, in using “Best Speech.” This week is celebrated in the Fall of the year. In accordance with the idea, Corry High strongly professed its interest in promoting “Better Speech” in Corry. Members of the English classes presented a sketch, Almost Everyman, in which the prevailing abuse and “murder” of the English language was shown to be both serious and ridiculous. The cast of characters follows: Judge —Harold Meeker; attorney for prosecution Sumner Bentley; attorney for defense Donald Ewing; Bailiff Ralph Weicht; witnesses Louis Boudreau, Robert Lewis, Doris Paige, Lulu Morton, Bernice Manwarren; Almost Everyman (the accused) Donald Group; Miss English Language Audrey Mertz; the jury James Loveland, Charles Blackman, Frederick Miller. Beatrice Lawson, Millicent Hasbrouck, Lyle Hubbel, Pauline Torek. In order to set a standard of speech in our school, and also to help the individual student to overcome his peculiar errors, resolutions were drawn up by a committee from the English classes. This committee canvassed each class, and in accordance with information gathered, formed resolutions which might be of the greatest benefit to all. Mildred Sandburg acted as chairman of this committee. The Freshman and Sophomore classes put much spirit into the “Better Speech” movement, by contributing a generous supply of posters. These sup. ported pithy mottoes such as “Beware of the Umhums,” Watch Your Endings,” “Down With Slang, and “Chase Away the Ain’ts,” which were illustrated by appropriated drawings and pictures. This year has been the first in which Corry has taken part in the celebration of “Better Speech week. It is expected that each succeeding year will accomplish more satisfactory results. —E. M. M. PAGE 5S THE TYRIAN THE SENIOR'SOPHOMORE DEBATE ■8 Considerable interest in debating has been aroused this year. After debates in each of the classes which had studied the immigration question, the Seniors challenged the Sophomores to a debate on: “Resolved, that immigration, at present, should be restricted.” The Sophomores, being challenged, had their choice of either the negative or the affirmative side, and chose the latter. The debate was held on Wednesday morning, March 23, at the chapel period. The Seniors were represented by George Wright, Helen Heath and Harold Dugan. Those selected for the Sophomore speakers were: Donald Ewing, Zora Skinner and Isabelle Edwards. Both sides presented convincing arguments but the judges decided in favor of the affirmative. Next year it is planned to have more inter-class debates and possibly a debating team to represent Corry High in debates with other schools. “THE C. H. S.
