Sen iof Glass r Gerry lii h SchocJ wiw Page i Tpovcmor d H ERE it is-the 1924 Corrian. We have put our be into it. We have faithfully striven to publish an Annual worthy of the spirit of the greater Corry High School, and of the life here. If, when time shall have dimmed your memories, this book shall recall these happy days, we shall be amply repaid. But this is only an outline. You yourself mu£ round it out with the life you have followed here, a life as rich and full as you have made it.

Hu mint The advent of the Class of ’24 into High School was simultaneous with that of Principal M. L. Brown. We will never forget that day, especially when Mr. Brown’s address was interrupted by one of our more misinformed classmates knocking for admittance on the fire escape window, and how Mr. Brown quietly suggested that he be asked to go around to the door. ITiis done, he continued with his speech. That’s the way its been through the whole four years that we have watched him work and plan; he has met interruptions calmly and then turned back to his work. On that first day Mr. Brown asked our cooperation in working out an aim. namely, to make Corry High School one of the best in the section. After that he worked consistently to establish a library, to introduce the V ocational courses, to enlarge the scope of the Music department, and this year, to introduce the Student Activities program. Besides these noticeable steps toward accomplishing our aim. the standards and scholarship of the whole school have been raised under Mr. Brown s direction. We have all respect for Mr. Brown for, though his discipline is strict, it is just and reasonable. We admire him for the way he meets obstacles. We like him for his kind thoughtfulness, for the little things he does that make school life more pleasant—little things—like ringing the bells early because of an approaching storm, for instance. When we compare our school with what it was when Mr. Brown came and what it is now, we begin to realize how much he has done. Then when we think of the fun we’ve had, we appreciate more than before what Mr. Brown has done for the old High. We, who have been here four years, under Mr. Brown’s direction, cannot imagine what it would have been without him. 1 irc 6 r1 MARV -HI3TOI HOWARD J. SHEENL -dCICHCt I ilBRAdiAN. Ml LON L.

Page io vLearhers’ Institute Tin first number of this year’s Institute was held on Labor Day and took the form of a get-together dinner at the Phoenix, at which the new teachers in the system were properly initiated. Dr. Hunt of the University of Pittsburgh, was our guest and spoke to us twice. In October, Dr. Rowland of the State Department addressed us on Silent Reading and Principal McNary of Academy High on Extra Curricular Activities. An evening session with Dr. McGowen was also held. In November. Dr. Thomas Briggs of Teachers College. Columbia University brought us the spirit of that great institution as applied to the school curricula of today, in two of the most entertaining addresses we have ever had. In February, we had a joint meeting with the Parent-Teachers’ Associations of the city at which Principal Crawford of Edinboro and Mrs. Sterritt of the Erie Council of the P. T. A. spoke. The last Institute number was held March 27, with Dr. Lowe of the State Department and another speaker whose name was not known at the time this article was written. There is some talk at present of having a series of extension courses next year in place of the regular institute sessions, but nothing definite has been decided yet. Such a system is in use at Johnstown. Pa.—M. E. K. ifaritltu liitnrlu'nns Every two weeks the Faculty has luncheon at the Bluebird, where they combine a good time and business. For, besides discussing the pranks and punishments of young troublemakers, they manage to appease their appetites —even Mr. Sheen’s. The broadest hint that the luncheons were not absolutely enjoyable comes from Miss Kenney who says she is not absolutely at home with radio on one side and fishing on the other. However, such informal meetings have a large part in making school life go smoothly. Page 11 Seniors President Vice President Secretary . . . Treasurer .. . SENIOR OFFICERS . . Ralph Ward . Willis Heath Ruth Anderson , . Ethel Ewing CLASS HISTORY One bright morning in September 1920 a set of equally bright Freshmen entered Corry High, in fact we were shining lights—noses and all. Dr. Fine-gan, even, heard of us and decided that it was criminal to run the risk of losing one such prodigy, and immediately ordered us to be vaccinated. But such a little thing didn’t bother us because our ideals were high. We quite surprised everyone by climbing to the top of a hayrack and taking a hilarious ride one moonlight night. The next year our members decreased a little but our spirit—not a bit. We performed a real service to the school by taking the Fresh” out of the Freshmen. We saw some thrilling and heartbreaking tragedies that year when girl barbers sprung up over night. Suffice it to say that we kept abreast of the times. Klinger’s Grove was the highest bidder for the privilege of entertaining our happy gang, and was the scene of barbarious consumption of torrid dogs. We stirred up enough pep that night to last over to Hallowe’en, and enable us to make a prize-winning float. At the end of the year we had a picnic at Findley—to do the thing up brown. In our Junior year our aggressiveness made the others sit up and take notice. By consistent plugging we secured a large part of our Junior-Senior funds, and by means of an Allegheny Glee Club Concert we rounded up the sum. Then we put on a Junior-Senior that caused even Seniors to say that it was the best ever given. Then to recuperate from the finals we went to Findley for the grand finale. We returned in 1924 minus the dignity that has afflicted so many Seniors. Our spirit of sociability demanded a weiner roast at the Reservoir Hill. We have indeed helped make history. I he class of 1924 has fostered the Hi Times, has given the Student Body its President, has seen the introduction of student activities, and besides supporting athletics with heart, soul, and men. have kept up our scholarship. In fact, it is reported the school taxes will be higher this year, due to the fact that so much more ink is needed to write magna cum laude” on so many diplomas. Now for the usual advice. When in doubt always follow our example, and as we have, work for the good of dear old C. H. S. —M. L. 24. Page 12 denim's % RUTH ANDERSON CHARLES BLACKMAN Class Scc.-Treas. (21; Class Sec.

We didn’t notice him at first, but his quiet, courteous manner won the battle, and we have found him a gentleman and a salesman who brings home the ads.

She’s good natured and friendly with everyone, especially “The Chiropractor.” She’s noted for her common sense. OPAL BURROWS IIow pretty Her blushing was: and how she blushed again. Tennyson. She has demonstrated her typewriting ability in preparing Hi Times copy. Dreamland is her favorite country, and as a result she gets to school at 9:01 A. M.

Ethel never knows anything— never does much—to hear her tell it; but without her there would have been only a faint semblance of this Corrian for when things are going wrong or just slow—it takes a little of Ethel to put the pep back. •8? CLIFFORD GOODRICH Hi Times Staff (4 . A man may speak the thins he will. Tennyson. “Cliff, like many of our forefathers is a staunch believer in freedom of speech and press. He has devoted a great deal of his time and energy to the “Hi Times” and its success is due, largely, to his efforts. GENEVIEVE FOLEY Glee Club (3). ’Her eyes were brighter than a star. - Dante. A typical Senior.” Dainty, bright, with a bewitching twinkle in her brown eyes that makes ’em fall. She’s always fresh as a May morning, maybe because midnight oil holds no place in her curriculum.

But evidently she gets her beauty sleep, at any rate the giggles fairly roll off her tongue. Lanky is long in legs, arms, and wind. His specialty is leaving his opponents a half mile behind in the two mile run. He is always ready for some fun or a girl, and he seems particularly interested in the Sophomore Class—perhaps “There’s a Reason.” 1?

Once there was a little boy and he grew, and grew, and grew, till the name they had given, didn’t fit at all—so they called him “Beaner. Lots of folks go to church to see Beaner sing.

Social Customs Club (1). For are not such Used to be tended flower like? — Browning. Behold one of high and noble ideals! She is quiet, but that’s all the more reason why we like her.

Members of the Class of 1924: Dear Seniors: In all sincerity I wish to add my personal congratulations to those that are being showered upon you for your successful conclusion of twelve years’ study. You are justly entitled to these honors since you represent those who have ability and persistence above the average. Your class numbers only a fraction of the many pupils who started the course of study. You are the few who have won a satisfactory completion. This marks the end of public school education. Before your attention is wholly severed from things scholastic will you review with me the main aims that the high school faculty has had in mind for you during the past four years? Modern schools seek to satisfy the needs of their communities. So the Corry High School has tried to give you the very best possible training. We are beginning to believe that the common sense way to determine what one’s needs will be tomorrow, is by observing the lives of the people in the community today. Such a basis for school organization seems to be really practical and business-like. It is tangible, clear-cut, and worth-while. It avoids indefinite generalities. As graduates, you are face to face with the question of your future course of activity. Each of you has a very definite problem to solve. Some of you will go to colleges and universities. Many will remain here in Corry and take their part in the business life, the social life, and the civic life of the community. Eventually, and in a surprisingly short time, every one of your class will be taking a real part in the activities of the community in which you live. Probably you would be interested to know just what these activities will be,—and it is not at all difficult to determine. If you will look about you and note what the people who graduated five, ten, or fifteen years ago are doing, you will get a fairly accurate idea of the main activities that you will be interested in five, ten, or fifteen years he.ice. With few exceptions you will be leading ordinary, average lives. The exceptions will be those who have met with adversity, and those who have been particularly endowed with the qualities that insure success. If this is true,—that you people will actually be doing the same things and living the same type of lives as the average citizen, we can begin to determine what things in school would be of most value to us in after-school life. 2 4 Thus we arc coming to accept as our aim for high schools, a two-fold statement concisely worded by Dr. Thomas Briggs, as follows: first: “To teach pupils to do BETTER those DESIRABLE activities which they will co anyway, and to teach these by means of material in itself worth wH'e. Second: “To reveal I igher types of aclivi.ies and to make these both desired and. to an extent, possib’e.” This is peculiarly American. Our school syslem insists on individual development, individual thinking, inc'i ideal conclusions; so that each student is trained in habits of thought. Such aims as the above will not result in graduates whose education is completed, but will result in graduates whose education is merely begun,—who have the abilily and the desire to learn. A careful reading of the statement reveals an educational basis of thought that is unquestionably making for a sane democracy. We Americans have born in us a pride in our peculiar institutions. Our national life is the most outstanding example of the benefits of a repub ican democracy. We stand for an ideal of cooperative government where all work together for the best interests of all. But to make such an ideal function in life, it is absolutely necessary that each individual be trained to take his share of the responsibility of the group and to discharge it ably. I herefore, the success of our American Republic depends unquestionably upon the degree to which its citizens are educated “to do better these DESIRABLE activities that they will do anyway.” Furthermore, in order that we may advanre in political life, sane liberty, and the pursuit and enjoyment of happiness, we should have revealed to us in increasing measure “higher types of activities tha� are desirable and, to an extent, possible.” You members of the Senior class have at little expense and relatively little effort enjoyed the privileges of the public school system. All too soon your school days have passed and you are ready to “commence the business of life. Your memories of Corry High School will constitute some of the most pleasant recollections of your life. As the years pass by, you will appreciate more fully what your four years of study have meant to you. And in view of this you should not shirk the responsibilLies that it involves. If the America of tomorrow is to stand forth among the nations a shining example of a righteous government, you must do your part. You must discharge honorably and zealously the duties of your estate of citizenship. And among these is none more important than that of maintaining an interest in the public school system and an earnest will to help forward the cause of education. It is your duty to insist that each coming generation be better trained for service to America. It is your privilege to see that means are provided for this activity on which America’s future depends. Page 25 Make no mistake. Seniors of 1924! The history of tomorrow is in your hands. The happiness of your home life in Corry, the soundness of the industrial activities of Pennsylvania, and the nobility of the example that the United States of America may set forth to the world, these depend upon YOU. Manhood and womanhood enlist you in the army of progress to vanquish the common foes,—ignorance, superstition, and enmity. Thus in parting, let the beautiful lines of John McCrae be the benediction of Old Corry High ‘Take up our quarrel with the foe: Io you from failing hands we throw The torch: Be yours to hold it high. MILON L. BROWN. Principal. 7 Page 26 j intiur (fi ass JUNIOR OFFICERS President.... Vice President Secretary.... Treasurer .Robert Sweet . .Cyntha May . .Helen Rowe Leona McKay CLASS HISTORY In September, year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-three, we the class of ’25, returned to Corry High as staid and august Juniors, and carried ourselves with all the dignity and pomp befitting the occasion. Early in the year during the Student President Election we demonstrated our pep by supporting and campaigning for Russell Downey and Cyntha May, who came in .-econd and third. We’ve forgotten that now and have put our energy behind President Fleming. Of course the thought uppermost in our minds was of the Junior-Senior looming ahead, and the money to be raised therefor. We finally secured the Carnegie Glee Club and Orchestra for a concert. But because of the date, a few days before Christmas when everyone’s pocketbook is exceedingly undernourished, and because of other unfortunate circumstances the profit end of the transaction was rather slim. But the Class Play “Penrod” made the Reception an assured thing. The outstanding event of the whole year is the successful staging of “Penrod.” all thanks for which go to Miss Storrs. And the party afterwards at Virginia Hoenes’ where we reveled in our success until 2 A. M., at which time we gave Miss Storrs a little remembrance, it being her birthday ’n everything. As we are very busy people, our only other social function was a weiner roast at Lynch’s, but we have other parties planned, and are going to have a Junior- Senior that’ll knock ’em cold”.

Given: Jack Baker as Penrod; Ed Berry as Sam; Art Palmer as Mr. Schoefield; Ida Carey as Mrs. Schoefield; Maxine Alverson as Margaret; Clarence Shoop as Robert Williams; Ramsey Rogers as Herbert Hamilton Daid; Irene Ketner as Margery Jones; Walter Gordon as Mr. Jones; Melvin Thomas as George Basset; Bob Sweet as Tim; Cyntha May as Della; La Vern Grandy as Mr. Coombs; Reed Spencer as Vermin; Frederick Miller as Herman; Himself as that Dog. Proof: $21 1.00 net profit; house full and running over; calls for more; and Jack Baker. Ed Berry, etc. (as above). Every member of the cast was splendid. Jack or Penrod as we have said before, “taking the cake,” but also distributing it generously among the others. The scenery, painted by Dorr Barton and his crew, was the best ever produced by rank amateurs, the telephone rang, the lightning flashed, the thunder rolled, the gun w'ent off. the villain, villed; the hero, heroed; the “rooster” crowed; the “dog” barked; the footsteps “approached” and everything. Indeed folks who came to scoff remained to cheer and the memory of Penrod taking his dog across the stage with “I guess you and me won't see this place again for sixty years” will remain with Corryites for a long time. Therefore: Penrod was a Success. —Q. E. D.

It wasn’t long before the other classes perceived that we were a bunch full of pep and loyalty, and the faculty all admitted that most of us were very wise, and the rest merely otherwise. Our President Ross attained the unusual distinction of earning a letter in both Football and Track. In 1923 Corry High welcomed back her largest class as fun-loving Sophomores. One night in October when it didn’t rain we held a weiner roast at Reservoir Hill. We have such an enormous class that we bought out every meat market in town, and forced the Crown Bakery to run twenty-five hours overtime that night, and required three chaperons working full time to keep us straight. But we had a great time. In football we had several letter men, and several on the second team that are looming large for next year. Basketball and Track also claim Sophomores among their stars. Not only in athletics but in politics also do we engage. Bud Sloan represented the Sophs in the Presidential campaign. However, as he was defeated we are faithfully supporting Prsident Fleming, and thus proving that we are good losers. When the snow piled high we planned a sleigh ride to Columbus but the weatherman evidently thought that such exposure would be bad for us, so melted the snow. Thus ends the second epoch of our life at Corry High. But if next year is like this one the other classes will have to jump to get up to us. —H. M. M.

The exhibits were many and varied, and arranged in an attractive manner. Some of the articles were made by the girls at school, others at home, and some were entered by friends of the girls. Among the things exhibited were hats, dresses, table covers, bed spreads, sweaters, and many artistic hand painted articles such as candles and trays. Some very interesting homespun articles, blankets and towels were exhibited by grandmothers of the girls. A miniature living room and a bedroom, completely furnished were shown and served to recall the days of doll houses as well as to demonstrate artistic decorating. Demonstrations were given during the afternoon of Cold Pack Canning, Stain Removal, and Table Setting and Serving. A lady from the State Department judged the exhibits and demonstrations and awarded ribbons for first, second and third prizes. The rooms were also open in the evening for public inspection. The Agricultural Department also had a part in the Fair. Besides a great many interesting and appetizing exhibits several demonstrations were given. The complete process of testing milk was explained and demonstrated, the honey bee project was explained, and the product exhibited. In short, the boys’ part of the exhibit was as successful as that of the girls. Pdtfd 34 Ifveshman (Cln s FRESHMAN OFFICERS President.... Vice President Secretary Treasurer. . . . CLASS HISTORY Charles Butters . . Ruth Bennett Keppel Tiffany John Masterson The Freshmen Class, reputed to be the greenest of all green classes, have one date stamped indelibly on their memories- September 4, 1923. On that day the boys stumbled around, awkward, staring and in knee pants, and the girls giggled around, bashful, blushing and holding hands. Their trustfulness and green complexions invited confidence and the Sophs were ready with a line of misinformation. Put two and two together and you have the reason why the F reshies mixed classes so badly and quaked so on the way to Chapel. And thus they were introduced to Corry High. When it came to the Athletic Association Candy Day the Freshman girls swore to work and win or die in the attempt, and they did—pulled together and took first prize—a large wall banner. About October first the Freshies decided that it was time to celebrate, so a weiner roast was planned. Indulgent parents packed the crowd into their cars and swung off to Lynch’s farm. There they discovered Mr. Sheen’s appetite, Mr. Wolf’s adeptness at catching flying weiners in his mouth and the good sportsmanship of teachers in general. Late in the month the class indulged further in sociability by holding a Hallowe’en party. Ghosts and elves and witches and lassies fantastic abounded, also appetites, and refreshments. Even though this is leap year the Freshman boys took the initiative in arranging a skating party at Whiteley’s pond, inviting the girls, of course. So the Freshmen are sociable souls. At mid-year they received twenty-two 8A sub-Freshmen as fellow classmen, and were given the opportunity of seeing how they looked five months previous. In February when the Football letters were presented, the Freshmen held their heads a little higher when, VanCise pranced up for his, for it is unusual for a freshman to make a Football letter. Now the Freshmen are getting along as well as could be expected, and next year we expect a remarkable Sophomore Class. —R. B.

Remember how he came here and built up our athletics, and how big a job it was and how hard he worked. Sure, and we aren’t going to forget it right away, eiiher, are we? It was a big job and he had practically nothing to start with except a good sized debt The school spirit had to be built up along with the athletics, and this was probably the hardest of the two. Sometimes he must have been discouraged for his first two football teams never won a game and his first basketball team didn’t do much better. We wonder sometimes why he didn’t quit, but then we remember that our “Little Irishman” just starts to w’ork when things get hard. Well, he didn’t fail and now he gets a chance to smile after a game, sometimes. Did you ever stop to think just how much he means in our High School? How much we would miss that smile i'nd scowl and hearty laugh? He has done more than just build up athletics and school spirit. He has a way of getting along with the students, with both girls and fellow’s. Sometimes it is the smile that brings them, sometimes the frown. He is a man who can understand fellows and influence them. Wouldn’t he leave an awful hole in Old Corry High if he should step out now? Yes, we would miss Howard J. Sheen, in our athletics, classes and study hall. Funny how just one Little Irishman can mean so much isn’t it? Page 30 Page 40 The first signs of the season’s activity occurred when football men hastened from all directions at Coach Sheen’s call for workouts and their numbers were soon swelled by a group of new men. With several of last year’s men back the auspices seemed to point toward a brilliant season. If we could concentrate on the Union City. Fredonia and Sheffield games, and forget those with Youngsville. North East and Warren, we might say that. On September 22, the heavy East High team of Erie came down to help our men pry off the grid cover. Corry High kept on the defensive during the first three quarters, but cut loose with a vengeance in the last five minutes. What a thrill to see the crowd strain forward as Ross slipped through the line, outran his pursuers, and raced that seventy-five yards to the goal! What a cheer! Three minutes yet to go! Two forward passes—and the ball on the ten yard line! We would tie them yet! Then what despair as Erie’s bonnie man, Copeland, caught Group’s toss to Ross and pranced back for a third touchdown. The whistle found the score 20-6. The newness of the line accounts, probably, for their stage-fright in the early part of the game. The Eleven Forded to Youngsville on Saturday, October 6. and as Dame Rumor had it that the Youngsville team, built around Quarterback Chappel, was unbeatable, a large crowd followed, knowing that it would be a real game. Our team was handicapped by the rough sod-covered field, and did not come up to their standard form. They started out by smashing through Youngs-ville’s defense, and, by steady bucking got the ball within a few yards of the goal, and scored. 1 hen Youngsville woke up with a jump, and our defense suddenly seemed to go “off.’’ Time after time the ball was lost on downs. Youngsville just showed better form and thus came out on the long end of a 19-6 score. At this stage of the season it was evident that Sheen’s greatest problem was to mold his material into a machine with teamwork its keynote. A tremendous problem. The entire week after the Youngsville game was spent in Puge 4i stiff practice, for Sheen was trying to whip the team into shape for the game of games—that with Union City. The effect of hard work was gratifying to behold. All Corry High and half of Corry were on deck to see the C. H. S. “Yale-Harvard game, that with Union City. Everyone surely did “get their money’s worth, as Mr. Sheen says. Talk about thrills! Wasn’t it a grand and glorious feeling to see Gordon—Walter Gordon, Junior—plough down that sixty yard stretch, and then to see Ross finish it up and Touchdown? and then to watch the team steadily smash through Union’s line, yes, up to the twenty yard line, and that pass! Rossie’s sprint! And the touchdown! Great! Quite the Berries! 12-0. The next week was a double header—Youngsville and Fredonia. On Wednesday came Mr. Brown’s welcome decree that those holding tickets would be dismissed for the game. Never did a bunch of students scrape harder for quarters. Never was football so mixed with Mathematics, Cooking and French. Finally, two-thirty and dismissal! Chappel and his colleagues were ready, so the game was on. And such a game! What a satisfaction to see every man fight, the real bulldog, football fight. But Youngsville pulled a clever play and scored one lone touchdown. The lame spot in this 7-0 defeat was lack of clear decisive headwork on the part of the field pilot. Saturday, October 20, was to see some real football. Oh, you Fredonia! Butters (who used to paw the air at center) was at quarterback with all his grey matter too. He. with a giant opposing team, made the setting for a real game. Once on the field the team uncorked an offensive that put the ball near the goal, a position from which Ross could score by a short run. Again the same stunt was pulled and Sloan swung the pigskin over for an extra count. Real football, this! Then there were three quarters of seesawing, and thirteen points for the visitors. Three more minutes to play and the score tied! What? Ross through the line? A seventy-five yard race! All in vain. Out of bounds. Too bad. The whistle, and Corry all but winners. Nevertheless there was some great playing—hard, consistent work made the line stronger, the plays smoother, and the machine better. Since no game was scheduled for the 27th the squad and a jolly bunch went to Meadville to see Allegheny meet Thiel. Quoth Sheen: ‘‘1 can promise you an A-1 game on November 3. We meet North East.” An A-1 game was right, that is, all but the score. Both teams fought, gained, lost on downs, gained again, only to lose again; each held the other. Our line was in unusually good form, and did some great bucking. Then North East came back strong, with some clever tricks up her sleeve, and in some unexplainable way ran up a score of 24. Our men just swit hed “off, after such a fine stand in the early part of the game. On a cold, bleak day, November tenth, to be exact. Sheen lock the Eleven to North East to play a return game with the husky Grape City lads. Only a few rooters were bold enough to brave the “three mile stretch. Finally, the game began. Both teams seemed to feel the need of warming up, and ragged Page 4 seesawing filled the first quarter. North East came back strong in the second and third quarters, and, after a l.ard fight, captured two touchdowns. Corry’s Irish came to the top in the last part of the game. The men plugged and fought and smashed the heavy line unlil they planted the ball on the goal. Never did a team fight for the bacon, as those men did. But North East, though up against a vastly improved squad, came out on top in a fair and clean game with a score of I 3-8. It was a team determined to efface the defeat of the preceding week, that met the Sheffield squad on November I 7. The team was in fine shape and gave a great exhibition of what it really could do. An impregnable line it was that bucked the way to the goal, and virtually won the game. During the third quarter, in which the whole second team was put under fire, Paulson made a touchdown which was not counted because the whistle had blown. The end of the fourth quarter found the score 33-0. On November 24th, a raw. rainy day. the Orange and Black met the fast Warren High term on a muddy and slippery field. Though outclassed in every way by a better team, our men fought hard and to the last ditch. Good sports! Great plans had been made to take Union’s scalp, and to eat turkey there on Thanksgiving; but Union cancelled the game. A game was then secured w'ith Ike’s Ischabibbles. Ike and his colleagues were slow in starting and though fighting gamely on the very muddy field, they lost 34-0. Our men were in good form and did some pretty work in this, the last game of the season. and for seme, the last one for the Orange and Black. Well, they earned their turkey. Football, which is cnly a few years old in Corry, ought to come into its own next year. Although Captain Gretzler, Fleming, Butters, Bellen and Blackman will be lost by graduation. Captain-elect Gordon, Ross, Pitt. Titus, and VanCise are letter men who ought to make things interesting next year. Manager Shoop has scheduled a number of games with such teams as Warren. Voungsville and Iitusville, making a very attractive schedule. Coach Sheen announces that new equipment, including a tackling dummy, will be obtained for the 1924 team’s education. I he team and the school admit that this season was more or less “off but all say ‘‘Watch us next year.” FOOTBALL SCHEDULE 1923 c. H. S 6 Youngsville 19 c. H. S 12 Union City 0 c. H.

The news had been broadcasted from station C. H. S. to the football world that the annual feast was to be celebrated. After many pranks had been played and games enjoyed, the boys, including the masculine members of station C. H. S.’s faculty gathered about a long, well-laden table which filled the center of the hall. After many quips by the guests a certain Mr. Blanden, and Howard Sheen began to test the edges of their knives on two savory roast pigs, at their respective ends of the table. All made merry. Little Everett Bellen prepared to show the rest how to make food in enormous quantities disappear in the most mystifying manner. Whether or not this certain Mr. Sheen had his second helping, as is usually his custom, is not known, as, we regret to say, everyone was too busy to watch. It is. however, taken for granted that he did, and he earned it. As the repast proceeded, course after course being served, the majority began to complain about a strange, uncomfortable feeling, and strangely, decided to give the rest of the fellows a chance. Mr. Sheen started things along an interesting line again by giving a short, peppy talk. Other members of the faculty, and then, the notables and stars were called to add to the merriment with short talks. Even little Everett was able to deliver a fine speech for the occasion, to the astonishment of all present. Cigarettes were passed and enjoyed, Mr. Denning and a few others even being bold enough to come from under cover with big, fat black cigars. To add to the enjoyment of the occasion the North Corry Orchestra continued their popular strains throughout the evening. Everyone was so happy they nearly forgot to go home, but finally ended the party in the wee small hours, with a snake dance. The kind mothers and sisters who prepared and served the banquet cannot be thanked enough for their successful efforts and liberal helpings that evening. Page 45 Early December saw twenty-five basketball enthusiasts practicing at the armory. The outlook for a banner year seemed very bright indeed, with Captain Haskins, Duffy, Heath and Fleming out again, and with a second team strong enough to keep the varsity men at their best. After several weeks of practice a game was arranged with the Alumni. Lack of co-operation made them easy vic.ims, and enabled the Hi team to start the season off right 36-20. Manager Heath chalked Titusville High for the next game. It was a game in which Fate played a large part, and Pate was against us. But it was an unusually fast game. Twice the crcwd held its breath as the ball went round and round and off. Tough luck. That was all. 35-32. The third game of the year was played on January 4 with Union City. Our team determined to retrieve the defeat of the past week and struck its ‘tride early. Some snappy passwork and pretty shooting. Union was in good enough shape to make our men work for the 34-1 I victory. Sheffield entertained the Five on January I I. Duffy and Heath took care of the pill long enough to run up a 23-15 score. The next knot in the string was Union City, whither the team and a bunch of boosters journeyed on January 16. Though handicapped by the small floor, the Orange and Black took Union’s measure 30-22. Not a lively game but a lively cheering section. Corry Hi celebrated exam week by a game with Ludlow Hi, a clean snappy bunch of players, on January 24. Duffy was hero of the hour and Haskins runner-up. 45-21. The hard tussle of the previous night told on the team and they went down to defeat at the hands of Rocky Grove, 38-24. The defense seemed particularly dead. PtiX'e 46 Everyone was set for a fast game when St. Titus High met our quintet here on February 1. Wishing to start the new semester off right, however, the team literally ran away with St. Titus, rolling up a 55-1 I victory. The big Booster game with the Polish College of Cambridge was set for February 9. Things looked doubtful at first. But after the game started— how our lads did cut circles around those college men, and how Heath and Haskins rolled in those baskets! The greatest victory yet! 52-25. On February 15, Sheen, the team, and a peppy bunch of rooters went to Cambridge for the return game with P. N. A. College. The game was not clean and square to say the least. Our men deserve commendation for their good sportsmanship. Lost 26-21. A return game was played at Ludlow with the High team. The first half went fine, Corry leading. Then Haskins was taken out on fouls, and the team collapsed. Duffy starred, making 26 points. Score 46-37. Sheffield dropped off in Corry, on February 23, confident of a victory. But so was our team. Even though Duffy was out with an injured hand, the game was not close. Maloney and Heath did some pretty shooting. 31-19. Corry High met Franklin on the 29th. It was just an off night, and Franklin won 48-30. On March 7 the team, minus Fleming, who missed the train, and Coach Sheen, went to Titusville to meet St. Titus High. The team led during the first half as usual, but in the last period completely lost their heads and played most carelessly. St. Titus won 31-23. 47 One of the fastest games of the season was the Titusville game on March 21. Heath did some classy floor work. Maloney and Haskins helped Duffy with the scoring, and Fleming was there. Corry won 36-30, and a peach of a game too. Corry Hi met one of the fastest teams of the seclnn on Mar h 29, when Franklin sent up their aggregation. Again Heath exhibited some excellent floorwork. and the baskets were evenly divided among the entire team. Score 50-27. The B. B. men are worthy of commendation for their conscientious training this year. The team has been handicapped by a lack of practice and what they would have done with proper practice will never be known. As it was, the team won ten out of the sixteen games played. C. H.

Mr. Sheen aided the girls in carrying out their ambitions by calling a meeting on December 10, 1923, at which. Miss Stratton was chosen Coach; Virginia Stultz, Captain; and Virginia Hoenes, Manager. With this crew in charge, they decided to use girls’ rules. No games were scheduled with foreign teams, due to the lack of money in the treasury of the Athletic Association. However, an enthusiastic bunch of girls, composed principally of underclassmen turned out at each practice, the value of which will undoubtedly show in next year’s team. 4Q Corry High is fast winning a name for herself in track, having put out winning teams for the past several years. Last year the Orange and Black were easily winners at the meets held, so Manager Haskins has booked a harder schedule for this year. Meets have already been arrangd with North East, East High, and Central High of Erie, and w'ith Oil City. The high men at these meets will be sent to the interscholasti: meet at Meadville. Captain-elect Fleming has some exceptional material in Ross, and in Haskins, Nelson and Gretzler, high men for the Juniors of last year; Coach Sheen pronounces the outlook “never better’’ for a winning team this year.

Stult: Treasurer Heath ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION The Athletic Association has been more active this year than ever before, c'ue to the splenc'id group of officers that were chosen, and to the way in which they secured the interest and co-operation of the students. A membership campaign was conducted very successfully, nearly 100', of the student body joining the Asso: iation, by paying the 50c fee. In the annual race the Seniors secured the 100', membership first and were awarded a silver cup. Having a little money in the treasury, the Association was prepared for the real business of the year—promoting Athletics. Interest and pep for the games was stirred up in weekly meetings during which Coach Sheen or some of the fellows gave snappy talks, telling what we are going to do and inviting the students to the party ; then followed the usual guarantee from Mr. Sheen that we would get our money’s worth; after this the faithful cheerleaders would pipe out a cheer, and before we knew it we had decided to go to the game. Spring found the coffers nearly empty, and a dressing shack was needed for Track. To meet this emergency the Association voted to stage a Candy Week. The members responded so well that they cleared over two hundred dollars. In this contest the Freshmen Boys won first place so finances are in good shape for the track season. The Athletic Association has had the privilege of backing fine teams this year. Suffice it is to say that football could have been better, but might have been worse; that basketball was very successful, the team winning ten games; and that track will cap the climax. While athletics have benefitted directly from the Association’s active work, school spirit has developed marvelously from the same source. Page .52 TU card's (Of (The 9 J ifimtlmU—1923 Capt.

It is student support that makes or breaks a team. Corry High has had splendid teams hut to have better ones she needs better student support. To every student we appeal for the loyal support of our athletics. Page 54 (£iuutril The Student Council is in its second year at Corry High School, and is very active for a two-year-old. In addition to the representative from each Home Room, the Council has two faculty representatives, and a President, elected by the student body. The Council has a distinct place to fill in school life. It is the medium through which students co-operate with the faculty in solving school problems, and through which the faculty may get the viewpoint of the students, and the students that of the faculty. It was not until late in November that the election of the President took place. Each Home Room had the privilege of nominating a candidate, with a Manager Campaign Committee at the center of the “machine.” During the two weeks campaign several score of Daniel Websters orated. The candidates gave away, not cigars, but book marks, bills, smiled sweetly, and walked the straight and narrow path conscientiously. When election day came, the Problems of Democracy class took charge of it. It was just like a real election except that the atmosphere was quite as clear as usual, no one seemed to feel the need of calling on the divinities for advice, and there were no policemen to hold the babies. When the count was completed it was found that Homer Fleming, Senior candidate, had a majority; and great was the rejoicing. President Fleming was the right man for the place. He is an all round man. quiet, consistent, and hard-working, and he found a Council ready to stand behind him and co-operate. To assist in making athletics cleaner, the Council succeeded in getting the basketball men to sign a pledge binding them to train conscientiously during the season. The quarter holiday plan, rewarding the rooms having the best attendance, has also been put into effect, and has assisted in raising the percentage. The Council has also spent much time drafting the Constitution, and in working out a Point System to regulate extra curricular activities. Besides these definite accomplishments, a great many trivial things, that make a school run more smoothly, have been settled. So the Council has been successful. since it has assisted in smoothing out the rough spots between teachers and students.

Dramatic Club, under the supervision of Miss Storrs started its career, after adopting the name “Grey Friars,’ with a membership of 43 and with the following officers at the helm: Mil- dred Howard, President; Virginia Doolittle, Vice President; Maxine Alverson. Secretary and Treasurer. Our membership has been steadily increasing till we now have sixty members. The work of the past year has been very satisfactory to all parties concerned. The programs, which have been carried out at the various meetings, have been interesting and instructive, usually being short plays, impromptu and otherwise, pantomimes, short talks and papers. Several of the plays proved so successful that we gave them for the entertainment of other clubs. We sent a representative to the Dramatic Institute and at Christmas time gave a very successful play in Chapel “Cast Your Bread Upon The Waters.” in which Clarence Shoop and Beatrice Lauer took the leading parts. Our social activities have consisted in several highly enjoyable parties. We have dashed along this year, filling every minute of our meetings, etc., with activity, and, having unbounded pep we have accomplished much! That is the keynote of our success (and 1 think I may well call it that) pep. and lots of it! ! —M. A. Page 58 CtoIli'iU' (Club After deciding definitely the purposes of the club which is to get acquainted with the different colleges, we elected the usual officers: George Orcutt, President: Jimmy Lewis, Vice President: William Murray. Secretary: Jack Baker. Treasurer. I he study of certain colleges was assigned for each meeting, the programs at various meetings contained speakers, some students, and some graduates of certain colleges, who told us of college life, the credits needed to enter college, and something about the college which he had or was attending. At our fifth meeting Mr. Wolf entertained us with a very interesting talk on Cornell. The next meeting was given over to Mr. Doolittle who recited his experiences in Allegheny College. Letters from college students received by various members were especially welcomed and formed a principal feature of the meetings. By this time we were successfully organized and well started toward our main goal, so, to relieve the monotony of our regular routine, we planned a party. A jolly time among ourselves was enjoyed, unbothered by females, save one. Mr. Blanden also has informed us on the interesting points of Colgate College, from which he was graduated. At a recent meeting we listened to a very enjoyable talk given by Rev. J. A. Martin on Grove City College. The club has succeeded very well in carrying out its purpose. —W. M. Page 59 0)lce (Club The work of the Glee Club has been very successful under the direction of Miss Dorothy Waller, and under the leadership of President Arthur Palmer, Secretary Helen Rowe, and Treasurer Ramsey Rogers. On various occasions the club has taken part in chapel exercises and several times gave musical programs pre eding the Lyceum Course Entertainments. Besides a weiner roast at which the Football men were entertained, the Club has indulged in several very enjoyable parlies. At the present time the Glee Club is working on an operetta, “Pocahontas’ to be given some time in April and it is starting out well as Pirates Bold last year. —M. A. P ige 60 (Orchestra Early in the school year this organization began work in earnest after rumors to the contrary. Under the very capable and inspiring leadership of Milon Waller the orchestra worked hard with the object in view of introducing into High School more classical music and of acquainting the students with some of the more familiar classical selections. The orchestra has played at a great many evening entertainments and many times during chapel programs. The members deserve much credit for the work they have done, for the hard practicing “behind the scenes”, and for their willingness to play whenever asked. Mr. Milon Waller is worthy of special thanks for his work in leading the orchestra. It is indeed unusual for a business man to devote the time, ability and energy necessary in leading a High School Orchestra. Mr. Waller has made the work very enjoyable and profitable for the members, and incidentally, pleasant for the rest of us when we have been privileged to hear it. The members are: Leonard Burkhardt, Esther Parker, violin; Ralph Ward, clarinet; Dorr Barton, Charles Burkhardt. cornet; Alice Messenger, piano; Merrill Lillie, bass tuba. —R. W. Page 6i llpsilim itfeta One of the largest and most active clubs in Corry High is the Health and Hiking Club, and the enthusiasm of its members is unbounded. At our first meeting Virginia Stultz was elected President; Evelyn Ver-furth. Secretary, and Frances Armstrong. Treasurer. During the first five weeks our activities consisted mainly of hikes. lo become a fellow hiker, a new member was compelled to undergo a vigorous initiation. When the black and white stockings were worn by the newly initiated, much comment was aroused. Our meetings have been made more interesting by the kindness of the Dramatic Club, and by Mrs. Mason who gave us an instructive talk on First Aid. Before Christmas our leisure time was devoted to the sale of 1 uberculosis Seals. We achieved great success in this, the sale amounting to sixty-eight dollars. To make it a success it was necessary to divide the club into committees who gave talks at the various grade schools. With Christmas spirit each member contributed articles for Christmas baskets which were given to the less fortunate families. Later in the year it was decided that we adopt the name of Upsilon Beta, and we now have pins bearing the symbols U. B. —B. G. Page 62 Science (Club The Science Club is composed of Freshman boys who are particularly interested in exploring the great field of science. Under Mr. Wolf’s supervision the club was organized early in the school year, and elected George Downey as President, and Roger Whiteley as Secretary and Treasurer. To insure a varied program the club was divided into sub-clubs. Radio, Nature Study, Science and Physical Culture, each club giving the program for one meeting. Sometimes the program took the form of talks, magazine articles, demonstrations, and sometimes a boxing bout. The Nature Study committee are planning observation trips when spring comes. It is expected that this club will continue next year, and plans are being formulated for a bigger and better club. 1? I'clgt! 6j CLram'l (Club The Travel Club was organized at the beginning of the school term with a membership of thirty-five, the following officers being elected: Doiothy Humes. President; Mildred McMillan, Vice President; Mildred Dahlstrand. Secretary, and Florence Damon, Treasurer. The Club has held some very interesting meetings at which Mrs. Smith, Rev. Ashton. Miss Condra. Mr. Brown and Mr. Geiger have given very entertaining talks. A time for play is also a part of the Club’s schedule. The members enjoyed a rather unusual winter picnic on Valentine Day, as well as several other picnics in the fall. The club members have achieved some worth-while things. They have contributed the National Geographic Magazine to the School Library and five dollars to the Stage Fund. Notebooks are being made by the various members and first and second prizes are to be awarded. All are anxious to be the lucky ones. The members of the I ravel Club have truly enjoyed themselves. Many new members have been added to the roll and unusual interest show'n. The secret of the success of the club is that every member has done her part in the best way she knew how. I t£c 6. IJmirnaU tir (Club The Journalistic Club had a hard struggle being organized this year. At first a very few were in the club, but others gradually came in until now they have a mob to be proud of. The Club, which is composed mostly of Seniors, is, they believe, the best one in the entire school. The Club elected for President, George Butters; Vice President, Retha May; Secretary and Treasurer, Harvey Loveland. At the beginning of the second semester, owing to the fact George would no longer be with us. we elected Charles Blackman, President. Those who belong to the Club feel that their time has been well spent, for, under the leadership of Clifford Goodrich, we have started a school paper which has been very successful. The meetings have combined entertaining and serious features in such a way that they have been both enjoyable and instructive. The club showed its pep and push by giving a fine banquet to the winners in the Hi Times subscription contest. Of course there’s room for improvement, but few clubs can beat this one. Puge 65 Social (Customs (Club Early in the school year the Social Customs Club was organized under the supervision of Miss Stratton. The following officers were elected: President. Helen Peterson; Vice President, Mary Lewis; Secretary and Treasurer, Maysie Nichols. In November the members of the club presented a very entertaining play, “Aunt Deborah’s First Luncheon,” in Chapel. The Club did their bit by contributing ten dollars of the collection to the Stage Fund. The Club members have also shown their social spirit by holding two very enjoyable parties, one of which was a theatre party. I he meetings are instructive as well as interesting, and have proved very interesting. The members, who now number forty-two, desire to thank Miss Stratton for the time she has given and the part she has taken in making the club a real success. Page 66 liibrnm This is the fourth year that the High School has had its own library. As in other years the library has been managed by the librarian, Mr. Sheen, and twelve helpers, chosen from the Junior and Senior Classes. Since the committee took the place of the club this year it was organized with the following officers: Carl Nelson, President; Sarah Wilson, Secretary, and Melvin Thomas, I reasurer. Besides the routine work of keeping the library in order and checking the books that are borrowed, the committee, under Mr. Sheen’s direction, rearranged and catalogued the books in a more convenient and systematic order. I he other function of the committee has been to devise means for supporting the library. This part of the school is free to the students, but it endeavors to be as self-supporting as possible. This is largely done through the various contributions and the fines on “tardy books. To provide an extra source of income, however, the committee arranged for the printing of small pamphlets containing the school songs and yells. Prom this enough money was realized to pay the expenses of the first semester. Lost articles, consisting of almost anything in the way of school equipment, from books and pens to vanity cases, are also a source of revenue, a fine being paid for their redemption. While our library has been improved and enlarged each year, containing at the present eight hundred seventy volumes and fifteen periodicals, it is by no means complete. iWitsir iWcnuiru (Contest This year, at last, an attempt has been made to foster the appreciation of music by means of a Music Memory Contest. In preparation for this contest, records of classical masterpieces are played on the Victrola, and a few facts about the composer and the work are studied. During Music Week the teams from the grades and the High School will compete in the final examination. I he High School expects to carry off honors as they did last year, when Ralph Ward took first prize, lola Long, second, and Helen Rowe, third. The local winners will be sent to Erie to compete in the county-w'ide contest. llicalth IciUtmtiim The intellectual call ’em calisthenics, the Blue Book labels it Health Education and the rest of us say exercises. However, under whatever name they may be given we regularly raised, lowered, raised, lowered our arms (like a rooster trying to crow) lifted our heels and wagged our heads ten minutes each day; boys in auditorium, girls in Study Hall and Sheen on the table. It was all very uplifting, especially when Miss Stratton played Turkey in the Straw.’’ But it is no more, for one day Miss Waller appeared and said. “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears” and since then the Vic plays lustily and tongues get well exercised during that ten minutes but the flapping and wagging is a thing of the past—and of the future. Page 67 Dramatic institute Through the efforts of the Community Service, a Dramatic Institute was made possible for Corry this year. Mr. George Junkin of the Department of Drama, Community Service, gave a three weeks’ course in the technique and art of the stage. The course included illustrated lectures on costume, stage properties, pageants, and the religious drama. One lesson was devoted to the art of make-up, and an actual demonstration was given. For the purpose of showing the interpretation of character and the proper valuation of setting, Mr. Junkin read a one-act play to the class. All the meetings of this kind were held in Room 3 in the High School building in order that the exhibit of pictures, plays, and books on the drama might be used. A miniature stage was shown to illustrate the importance of proper lighting. Several evenings were devoted to the rehearsals of the three one-act plays given later, the class profiting by the observation of the actual directing of dramas. Besides conducting the Institute, Mr. Junkin was largely responsible for the improvements made in the High School auditorium. These improvements include one of the most complete lighting systems found in any theatre of the size in the country. To conclude the Institute on November 27th and 26th the Community Players presented “King Tut’s Dream,” “The Game of Chess.” and “The Trysting Place.” A permanent dramatic organization was formed to continue the work started by the Institute. I he acitvities of this Society have proved the worth of the Institute and the value of dramatic work to the community as a whole. —F. E. S. ;Xuxht rluml A very successful Night School was conducted this winter for the benefit of those who were unable to attend day school. It was necessary to charge a small tuition fee to meet the necessary expenses. Miss Armstrong and Mrs. Smith supervised classes in Bookkeeping, Typewriting, and Shorthand, for the six weeks term. Thirty-one ambitious young people took advantage of this opportunity, and were very faithful in attendance although the weather was bad. Five hours of actual reciiation were required to complete the course. I he Shorthand Class completed the text book, and Typewriting and Bookkeeping Classes likewise accomplished a great deal. These students who were employed during the day, worked very conscientiously and faithfully, and so derived a great deal of benefit from the course. It is probable that a similar course will be offered next year for the benefit of these enthusiastic young people Page 68 ifer inan Ijuhnsnn There is one claim which Corry High is very proud to hold, and always ready to assert—namely, that Ferdinand Johnson is one of her sons. But that wouldn’t mean so much to US were it not for the fact that “Fritz” does not forget to come back once in awhile, and is always ready to take a job with a grin, and without a cent. When Fritz came to school one day last fall and Goodrich began talking comic strips, we watched rather shakily for the smile to start and more shakily for his price—which was “nothing.” Talk about tickled! Smiles and coppers were few and far between those days. Everyone knows the outcome of this transaction involving hundreds of unexpressed thanks. “Hi Ball, who so often says what we want to but don’t dare, has taken up his abode on page five of the Hi Times, and has beer, the attraction of each issue. The Hi Times Staff and the student body likewise, extends its thanks once again to Mr. Johnson for his kindness in sketching clever little “Hi Ball,” and all join in wishing Mr. Johnson all the success in the world. Here’s to you, Ferdinand E. Johnson.

Page 7; (Curriait CLnpists MILDRED HENRY MARGARET MULDERICK RUTH POWERS VIRGINIA STULTZ OPAL BURROWS KATHRYN PURCELL The typists for most annuals are seldom mentioned, they are left in the background and are taken for granted. Little do the students and the readers of annuals realize the great amount of work that is done by the typist in the making up of this book. If it were not for these persons who offer their time and experience, gratis, it would indeed be a very difficult job for the rest of the staff to prepare the copy for the printer. Typing, for those who are inexperienced in it, is a very tedious and monotonous job. If they have access to a typewriter and must use it for making copy, it is a job that is abhorred by them especially if they are required to write steadily for any length of time. It is a great burden lifted from the brow of the editor and her assistant editors to know that someone else is more capable of doing this work and is willing to do it for her. It means more speed and neater results. If one were to approach the typewriting room on nights that this work is being done, and hear the rattling of the old keys, it would give him inspiration, for he would realize that someone is ambitious and industrious. Nothing, it seems, in high school life, gives that appearance of deep labor, more than the banging of a typewriter. We cannot over-estimate their work, and it has been good work too. The best typists of the second year classes have been the ones that have volunteered their services for our cause. They have also been quite valuable in being added sources of inspiration. It is said that two minds are better than one. They must not be overlooked, even though they were not elected to definite positions on the staff. We thank them deeply for their services. Pdfic 74 iliutimnl Izxtvn (Citrrirular Vrthritics “Education is designed to teach the individual to do BE! IER the desirable things he is going to do anyway.” Here is expressed the modern conception of the purpose of education, the conception which has revolutionized the methods of teaching as well as the courses of study themselves; a conception w’hose aim is to prepare students to live a modern life in this modern time. This same conception is held by our Principal. M. L. Brown, and guided by it, he has taken the initiative in broadening and bettering the curricula, and the whole administration of the school. Under his supervision the vocational departments have been greatly improved, but the standards of the so-called cultural subjects have not been lowered, in fact, the standard and scholarship of the whole school has been raised. In accordance with the same policy the Student Activities Program wras inaugurated this year. Besides the usual organization of the four classes, the section rooms, composed with one exception, of the girls or boys of a class, have been organized into “Home Rooms. eleven different clubs have been formed, each with a faculty supervisor; each of these group organizations has a 40 minute meeting every two weeks. The regular Chapel period is as before, every week. This makes on an average an hour and forty minutes a w-eek for this w'ork, or about half the time spent in the grades for play. But why has even so short a time been taken for these activities) The purposes of the program are simple enough; (I) to make school life more enjoyable, (2) to develop certain qualities that cannot be developed in the classroom, (3) to broaden the mind of the individual himself. There may be other theoretical purposes but these are the general ones we have seen worked out. If the program failed to make school life more interesting and enjoyable, the whole plan would fail; but no student will deny that the plan has succeeded in this phase. And after all it is the enjoyable times, the congenial spirit and fellowship that one remembers, which is reason enough in itself, for taking a few minutes each week for these things. The clubs and Home Room organizations are especially prepared to develop congeniality, since a group with the same tastes meet in the Home Room to discuss problems, to work together in drives of all kinds. In both organizations teachers and pupils meet on the same level, since the formality of the classroom is laid aside, and thus a spirit of co-operation and fellowship is developed betw'een teachers and students. Vnys 7 We students are conscious of the fact that we are having a good time in the meetings, but are often unconscious of the more lasting development that is taking place in us; and perhaps that is fortunate. Ihe quality first developed by this program is co-operation, just the opposite of that developed in classrooms where individual work must be done, of course. The Home Room has a greater opportunity in this direction, for there are certain definite things to be done, in which the group must use team work in order to sue eed. Ihe f reshmen girls are the outstanding example of such co-operation, for early in the fall they took first prize in the School Candy Sale. The Home Room has functioned well when a group can get acquainted and get to pulling together in that way. Such a spirit is what our city, and our nation needs today, -the co-operation of the forces of right. The quality next in importance is responsibility. When work is done someone has to be responsible; and the attitude toward a committee that does not function is “Why not? Business men have deplored the lack of responsibility in employees, but by this program the school is trying to develop that. Thirdly comes initiative or leadership. With a larger number of organizations the training of more leaders is made possible. Especially to a timid person, holding a position of leadership is a valuable experien.e, cultivating as it docs self-confidence, poise and ability to talk. Fourthly, and as a result of the other three, the spirit of co-operation and respect for the authority of the faculty is developed. Through the Student Council the students co-operate with the faculty in conducting an orderly school. An example of more direct co-operation is the attitude of the students on the question of tardiness and absence. The quarter-holiday plan, rewarding the rooms high in attendance was worked out by the Student Council; Home Rooms penalize chronic cases of tardiness by requiring them to perform a stunt or some similar penalty. Ihe two plans have helped to redu e the amount of tardiness immensely. Isn’t such a plan of co-operation with the powers that be much better than the old system, under which the co-operation of the student was not asked and the punishment was meted out with no attempt to see the students point of view? Here an opportunity is given for the student to practice the principles learned in Ci ics classes, and it is very improbable that a student accustomed to reasonable authority, will not have a little more respect for the laws of the land, and feel a little more disposed to obey them. The attribute, then, of good citizens are practised almost unconsciously. This last purpose or result is the development of the individual himself, and often the development of a hobby by which to spend his leisure time. With the coming prevalence of the eight-hour day everyone will have eight hours of leisure. How is education to teach him to spend that time better? A worthwhile hobby is the answer. The clubs foster hobbys, or that which may be adopted as a hobby. The work done in a club is broadening to the indi- Pu%t 76 vidual. Though our school is criticized as neglecting the cultural, it must be remembered that anything that enriches life is cultural; and therefore the clubs are distinctly cultural, since a new field is opened up to the individual. Many mistakes have been made in launching the program in our school; some of which have been corrected, others that will probably be remedied next year. Some students have had TOO much to do, have held more offices than they could conscientiously fill; the Point System which is being worked out now. will undoubtedly remedy that next year. Considering the newness of the plan to both faculty and students, it has succeeded well indeed. Lest those not in school fear that too much time is given to this so-called frill, may we remind you that only an average of twenty minutes a day is given to the whole program. Die other five hours and forty minutes go to the regular work. Perhaps you do not admit that the Student Activities Program plays a big part in developing the characteristics of good citizens, or in fostering the profitable use of leisure time, even if you will not admit that the Program accomplishes anything worth while, do you think it too much to give twenty minutes a day to good wholesome fun? The Program is FUN and it is PROFITABLE. Senior 1-Jlnns After a great deal of discussion, the Senior Class decided to stage “Seventeen” as their annual play. However, because of the multitude of activities in which many of the Seniors were engaged, it seemed best to present three shorter plays, which would enable more to take shorter parts. Accordingly, “Neighbours,” an old-fashioned comedy, Three Pills In A Bottle, a play that makes you laugh and cry, and Her Singing Soul, a Chinese tragedy, were chosen, with Mr. Morrow, Mrs. Campbell and Miss Storrs, respectively, as directors. With these directors we feel that the success of our presentations is assured. The plays, which will be presented May 2. 1924. are novel and quaint and are sure to win much applause.

Z. 3James (Crimu “Will you please interview Mr. Crowe for the Corrian? I gave a rather surprised and weak “ves” and here is the result. I called upon him on top of the third telegraph pole from the corner and asked politely, “Mr. Crowe, what is wrong with the world?” Whereupon he raised one claw to his bill to smother a yawn and began. “Such a stupid question! Why don't you ask me what that boy called Art Campbell said when he fell down stairs or something like that?” He laughed hoarsely but I did not repeat the question so he continued rather crossly. “What’s wrong with the world? Well, to sum it up there are far too many boys and girls and not enough crows in it. Just see the silly things humans do. I have a fine place to observe them. It’s rather interesting; take what is commonly called the sixth period for some reason or other. A bell lings, pandemonium reigns; another ring; and the herd, yes, I said herd, quiets down a little. Then a girl about half the size of the boy called Zal in the back seat of the fourth row stands up and glares; “Little Mary!” they call her— silly name! Suddenly—I don’t know what the signal is—everyone will laugh, not a low, sweet laugh such a true crow laughs, when amused, but a harsh, strained unnatural one.” “Ihere is nothing to laugh at!” exclaims Mary. How little she knows! I find several laughs a day there. “Soon one by one almost everyone in the room will stroll to the window and play with a cute little dojigger there; then sits down again. Bally waste of lime, I call it. Meanwhile the rest of the room are passing little slips of paper up and down the aisles and criss-cross and cross-criss. 1 he poor janitor runs himself thin getting more paper for them Another game I suppose.” “But you have only been generalizing.” I objected, “taking us as individuals, what?” “Alone.” he moaned, “you are worse. That Doolittle for instance, if I talked as much as he I'd be black in the face. Take the boy they call Bo and the girl. Ruth. I hey call it PUPPY love! An insult to the dogs, I say. And the others are just as bad, notes, blushes, gum its sickening!” By this time I was so angry I almost forgot that I was his guest, “Isn’t there anyone you approve of?” I asked scathingly. “Well,” he said, his head on one side and a wistful look on his face, “I’ve always wished I was as agile as that Mr. Sheen.” Page 70 Pug?

A mark of less than 97 sends us into spasm of grief and the dearest object of our heart is a pencil, one greatest ambition to write a column for the first page of the Hay Rake. You can tell members of this club by the ink splashes and the worried, intent looks upon the faces of even the least of them. Ah! What right we have to the wrinkles upon each brow—we, the sponsors of the world renown Hi Times—who knows but that the next brick may send him down, down to the everlasting dust, a martyr to Lame. Mower—Johnny Jump Up. Color—Bronze. The members of our erratic, heterogeneous bunch are lively and good-natured (sometimes). Our presiding officer is Hi King, our secretary.

We have enjoyed our sojourn at C. H. S. very much this year, ta-King things as they come and loo-King cheerful in every disaster.

Gee, Sheen was cross today; I had to take the front seat twice. The Freshman across the aisle the second period bothered me awfully, too, I was trying to write to Phil and she would pipe up with “When was the war of 1912? Who did the protector protect?” “Who’s head Street Cleaner in Corry?” etc. Received sixteen notes the sixth period. MAY II. 1924—GLOOMY! Such a test! Miss Kenny as good as told me I didn’t know anything and never would. Sometimes I almost believe her. It’s no wonder we have such a good football team here; you sure get enough practice in the halls, you’re not safe unless you carry a stiletto or a compass. MAY 12. 1924—DRIZZLING! Late this morning! Guess I have a right to be late if I want. Gee, you’d think this was Canada or something—one of those countries who haven’t a Statue of Liberty. Some day I’m going to tell HER just what I think and then----! ! ! MAY 13. 1924—DARK! Got sent home after my card!

Ain’t it a grand and glorious feelin’! Page 07 “Uaratinn Snaps’’ l wc ijS Flower—Violet. Colors—Various Blues. Our Motto—Keep People Home at Night. We are quite lucky whenever we perform. Esther Parker and Leonard Burkhardt have broken but four strings and wornout but two bows apiece this year. “Stubby” Barton's lip has given out but twice and Charlie Burk-hardt’s wind failed but once, to date. Once, during a piece “Beaner” Lillie gave such a voluminous blast on his bass that it caused several strings to snap in the piano while Alice was executing a fast run. This was due to the fact that Beaner had blown the nickel plate from the inside of his horn. Occasional heart rending scenes caused by “Wardie” trying to reach high notes were overlooked, because it was “another cracked reed. Overlooking the above mentioned, our orchestra is perfect. Flower—Lily. Color—Pink. Our motto: Lydia Pinkham's pink pills for pale people. Our purpose: To study microbes and other Micks until familiar enough to avoid or attract them. In the course of our investigations we have discovered several annoying facts such as—fire burns, cherry pie and milk do not always agree with the masticator. It is dangerous to go swimmin’ in February and sometimes the ice is too thin. This organization holds the record in the school for invalidism, having enjoyed six major operations; ten minor; four cases of contagious disease and twelve broken limbs this season.

As to the first part we are progressing slowly, having learned to pick up a handkerchief with a graceful swoop without bumping heads with the Freshman across the aisle who frantically claws for it. As to the second we have several classified and dissected but it is very hard as some members want this one’s smile, that one’s nose, the other one’s eyes!

At one of our recent meetings we learned how to grow hair quickly; the art of appearing brilliant with no eleventh hour preparation; and the way to write or tell legal excuses without breaking the commandment. Anyone wishing to join this club should enter his application at once as Miss Kenney’s lap is not overly large. Flower—Tumbling Weed. Color—Green. This club was left on Mr. Hemstreet’s front steps; he brought it to High, where it was adopted by Mrs. Smith and has been flourishing ever since. Its main object is to get from one end of the hall to the other in as short a space of time as possible regardless of such incidental difficulties as climbing over sub-Freshmen and knocking down staid Seniors. During the year the members of this society have made many successful trips; going east as far as the P. 0.; west to the Water office; south to Church Street and north to the tracks—starting—at the South entrance. No one is eligible for membership who has been over four miles from the City limits. Page 104 PREFACE TO A CAESAR NOTEBOOK “Gentle Reader: Please excuse the English—Caesar was a bum English- man.
