DEDICATION Wc, the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-seven, dedicate this book to you, as a token of our appreciation of your kind interest and helpfulness. 4 Educational Monograph It is interesting to know that the school business is the largest business in this country! There are about 26 and one half million children enrolled in public and in private elementary and secondary schools, another million students in normal schools, colleges, and universities, and at least a million students in extension and correspondence courses and in correspondence schools. There are about one million teachers. If to the above are added those who are members of school boards, trustees and other paid employees of the schools, those engaged in school publications, in the manufa ture of school books, apparatus, supplies, furniture and other contents of school buildings, and those engaged in the planning and construction of school plants, it may be shown that a total of 32 millions, or two persons out of every seven in the United States are giving practically full time to the business of the schools. There have been many changes for the better that have taken place the past fifty years in the growth of the school business. In 1876 the school population, that is, children of ages 3 to I 7 years, inclusive, numbered 14 million: to-day there are 30 million! There were enrolled in 1876, 9 million children in public schools; today there are 26 million enrolled. The average daily attendance fifty years ago was 5 million, and it has been estimated for 1926. that this increased to 21 million. ITiere were 249 thousand public school teachers in 1876, and a total of 810 thousand in 1926. School expenditures during this period have increased from 84 million dollars to 1.821 million dollars. The greatest growth is in high school enrollments, which have increased from 184,440 to 4,389,181. In 1876 there were 131 normal or teacher’s training schools employing 1,065 instructors and enrolling 33,912 students. Today there are 382 such schools employing 12,512 instructors and enrolling 245,669 students. The number of graduates has increased from 2,682 per year to 40,484. There were 85 model schools fifty years ago, today there are 196. In 1876 there were 72 colleges and resident graduate students for every 100,000 population. This number increased to 123 in 1896, then to 162 in 1906, to 245 in 1916, and then to 460 in 1926. This means that to-day there are more than six times as many college students in proportion to the population as there were fifty years ago. 5 The Faculty 1. HOWARD J. SHEEN. B.S PRINCIPAL.

Since then I have read it many times, and I have wondered if it might not be a good thing to give to every student when he enters High School. If it did nothing more, it ought to set him thinking. Perhaps it might help us produce more worthwhile graduates, more leaders instead of so many followers, for, as David Starr Jordan says, You cannot fasten a two thousand dollar education to a fifty cent boy. lhe very thing that makes the difference between a fifty cent boy and a two thousand dollar one makes the same difference between an unsuccessful and a successful man. Since I can’t give you these paragraphs to read as you enter High School, may I give them now with the wish that you read them as carefully as though he had written them to you alone? INITIATIVE ELBERT HUBBARD The world bestows its big prizes, both in money and honors, for but one thing—and that is Initiative. What is Initiative? I’ll tell you. It is doing the right thing without being told. But next to doing the thing without being told is to do it when you are told once. That is to say, carry the message to Garcia; those who can carry a message get high honors, but their pay is not always in proportion. Next, there are those who never do a thing until they are told twice; such get no honors and small pay. Next, there are those who do the right thing only when necessity kicks them from behind, and these get indifference instead of honors, and a pittance for pay. This kind spends most of its time polishing a bench with a hard luck story. Then, still lower down in the scale than this, we have the fellow who will not do the right thing even w'hen someone goes along to show' him how and stays to see that he does it; he is always out of a job, and receives the contempt he deserves, unless he happens to have a rich Pa, in which case Destiny patiently awaits around the corner, with a stuffed club. To which class do you belong? 8 Senior History President . . . Vice President Secretary . . . Treasurer .. . . . . . Richard Smith Mildred Christensen Dorothy Hammond .......Arthur Litz We. the class of 27 entered Corry High School in September, 1923, and began to show our ability in all school matters. We gained the admiration and the respect of the teachers and upper classmen by our standing in our studies and athletics. The next year our members decreased a little but our spirit—not a bit. We held our heads a little higher when our class mate, Richard Smith, was elected President of the Student Council, to be inaugurated in September, 1923. In athletics we were represented by our President, Milton Zalzneck, and Vice President, Charles Butters, both of whom received a letter for football. Our outstanding social event was a Hallowe en party at the home of Mildred Christensen. And then we started our Junior year. Of course the most important question of the year was how to finance the Junior-Senior. The hope of a Junior Class play was given up and a Junior Circus was given. A large sum was realized. Then we put on a Junior-Senior that was voted to be the very best ever given by a Junior Class. To end the year right we held a large picnic and dance at Findley Lake at the close of school in June. And last of all comes our Senior year. At our first meeting we elected our class officers. Shortly afterwards we elected from our class the Co-Editors of the Corrian and the work on this book began. After the school decided on the School Seal, we picked out our rings. We have the honor of being the first class to wear the Standard Seal. Throughout our High School Career we have been exceedingly well represented in all sorts of athletics. Butters, Zalzneck. Van Cise, Masterson. Fay, Auer, Casler, Shaver, B. Smith, all represented our class in athletics and received “CY for their splendid service. We have been busy discussing matters pertaining to graduation and have decided to leave to the school a large banner in our class colors, as a token of remembrance from our class. L.

Amby Allen In September, 1925, we entered the Senior High School, a really wideawake and up and doing group of Sophomores. During our Freshman year, we elected Margaret Jane Kamps, President; Margaret Blair, Vice President, and Ruth Ewing, Secretary. At this time, we had also gained the distinction of being the first class to be graduated from the new Corry Junior High School. Then came our Sophomore year. We elected Wilson Brown. President; Deane Houser, Vice President; Ruth Ewing. Secretary, and Richard Miller, Treasurer. We had a corn roast that was a fine success and a dance that wasn’t quite so successful. This year our classmate, Richard Miller, received the honor of being chosen President of the Student Council. And, as Juniors, we have surely made a record to be proud of. In athletics, for instance, we claim eight football letter men. The class was represented in basketball by three capable letter men, besides Pete Casler. captain and manager of the squad. What marvels we will perform in track is yet to be seen. Our first social event of the year was a corn roast held on Reservoir Hill. Then followed a number of school parties and dances, many of which were sponsored by us. 37 Now for the Junior-Senior! Being sadly in need of funds, we attempted to secure the needed amount by holding a bake sale and several school dances. These attempts having been partly unsuccessful, we now intend to present a series of entertainments, firmly determined to make the coming Junior-Senioi the best yet. got rr F£(?

Violet Vettenburg During our first year of High School we won the reputation of being the peppiest bunch of Freshmen that ever entered Corry High. We had no class p government, but we did have a Student Council. We elected Margaret Clark as President. Sirita Hornstein as Vice President. Marie Banks as Secretary, and Miller Shoop as Marshall. At mid-term the practice of awarding letters to Honor Students was inaugurated. A large number of us received this honor. During the winter, we presented two plays, besides having a wonderful Christmas party. Early in June we motored to Findley Lake where we enjoyed the day picnicing, boating, and dancing. At the end of the term as a remembrance of the class of 28. wc presented the Junior High with a set of stage furniture. Then we moved to the Senior High where we are now getting along fine. At the first class meetings we established a class government, electing our present officers. Our only social event thus far was a Hallowe’en party held at the Junior High. However, we promise to show more pep before the end of the semester. 4 a We want to welcome to our school Mr. Glen S. Owen, our new Coach, who has taken up his work in real earnest. Our Football, Basketball and Track teams have all had very successful seasons under his coaching. Mr. Owen’s motto is “That a team’s success is limited only by the amount of Determination to Do.’’ 43 •14 Football Corry High’s football team turned in an impressive exhibition this year. The team won six out of eight games, tied one, and lost one. This exceeds all previous records made by Corry High football teams. The team opened the season at Titusvilie and handicapped by the absence of Coach Owen lost the game, 12-0. T his was the only defeat suffered by the squad during the season. The second battle was with the East Hi Reserves here. A muddy, wet field prevented good football, but we won, 12-0. Our grid warriors invaded Youngsville for the third game of the season and defeated them, 13-0. This is the first time a Corry Hi team has defeated Youngsville on their own grounds. Our traditional rivals. Union City, paid us a visit for the next game and were defeated. 27-0. lhe line, led by Captain VanCise, held firm and not giving their opponents a chance to score. Cambridge Springs was added to our siring of victories, when we defeated them, 26-3. l he team defeated Youngsville in a return game here, 21-0. Everybody starred, the team working like a machine and showing some of the best team work of the season. The boys found some real competition when they met Sheffield here, playing a scoreless game, 0-0. A long run by Butters put the ball close to the visitors goal line but the whistle blew before it could be put across for the touchdown. • Corry Hi showed the fighting spirit that made them the great team they were when they defeated Union City at Union in a hard fought game, scoring the winning touch down after a glorious march down the field in the last few minutes of play, closing the season with a 12-6 victory. 45 Football Banquet One chilly evening in early December, the football men who had been able to survive the most grilling season of football that Corry High has ever had. met together at the Presbyterian Gym for the most important event of the season the annual football banquet. Besides the coach and members of the squad. Mayor Bracken, Superintendent Dewey, and several of the faculty were present. The mothers of some of the boys had worked all that day, preparing the “eats ’, and everyone appreciated their fine work in giving us a meal “lit for a king” The food disappeared in such prodigious quantities that several of the boys had to gallop around the table a number of times in order to make “room for the dessert. After the banquet Superintendent Dewey, acting as toastmaster, introduced the speakers of the evening with several “appropriate remarks about each. The Mayor, having been a member of one of Corry High’s first football teams, told us several interesting facts concerning the early football history of the school. Many interesting talks by both the members of the faculty and the squad followed. As soon as the program was ended, the fellows adjourned to various places of amusement, feeling that this year’s banquet was an even better success than the football season itself. Basketball The Corry High Basketball Team had a successful season this year. Last minute rallies and furiously contested games gave the students plenty of thrills and some real basketball. .... The squad showed some excellent team work and a fighting spirit that brought them through many .hard fought battles and made every game one to be rememlered. The boys deserve much credit for their hard work and conscientious practice which made it possible for C II S to have a winning team.

Corry had practically a one-man team, the squad being built up around Koss, who scored the majority of points made by Corry. Other members of the team were: C. Pitt, Shaver. VanCise, Casler, Maloney, and L. Pitt. The incoming class will considerably strengthen the team and we are looking forward to a successful season. 40 Inter-Class meet—Seniors 73; Juniors 22; Sophomores 6.

James Shaver Vice President...................................................Charles Butters Secretary and Treasurer..........................................William Murray The Athletic Association has taken its usual active part in promoting athletics in Corry High this year. Early in the year a tag day was sponsored and netted a nice sum which made it possible to buy some much needed football equipment. As the Corrian goes to press a drive is being made to pay off the debts made during the year and to buy track equipment. The silver cup which is awarded by the association to the class which pays its dues first was won by the Seniors, as it has been in the past years. Corry High owes much of its successes in athletics to the officers of the association and to the cheer leaders and ticket sellers who by their hard work and school spirit have put our games across. 52 Most Beautiful Girl And ne’er did Grecian chisel trace A nymph, a maid, or a grace, Of finer form or lovelier face.” —Scott. 5?

In our school life we have had many difficulties to overcome, but without these difficulties, could we have ever reached our goal in our High School work. It was the philosopher Kant who said that a bird, inasmuch as the only obstacle it has to overcome is the resistance of the air, might suppose that if only the air was out of the way, it could fly with ease. Yet if the air were withdrawn, and the bird was to try and fly in a vacuum, it would fall to the ground, and would be unable to fly at all. The greatest difficulty which a locomotive has to overcome in moving a train is friction, yet if there were no friction, the locomotive could not move the train an inch. The resistance of the water against the prow is the chief difficulty that a steamship has to overcome, yet if it were not for this same resistance of water against the blades of the propeller, the boat could not move at all. This same law, that our difficulties are the conditions of our success, holds true in human life. A life that was free from all difficulties would be a life shorn of all its possibilities of power. It is difficulty that wakes us up and compels us to exert our best efforts, and this exertion gives us new power, and so out of our difficulties comes our strength. It is often the case that the men who succeed best in the end are those who have had the most difficulty at the start. So when we find a difficulty in our path, let us welcome it, and make it help us to be stronger. No one should be discouraged by difficulties, for nothing worth doing was ever free from them. They are the stuff that success is made of. 57 “Real Co-ofyeration Insures Success for All” Students, like adults, can accomplish little when operating or struggling alone. Unusual though he may be, no person can hope to acquire anything of value without giving something in return. But, given the help of a good instructor and a little encouragement from a fellow-student or two the results are different. The very best of teachers, however, can do little without some degree of cooperation on the part of the pupil. This is a point hard for the younger student to realize or to acknowledge seriously, but as each year goes by it becomes more evident. If the student adopts a carefree and disinterested attitude in the classroom, he not only harms himself in failing to gain anything from the lesson, but he hinders and disturbs the teachers in that person’s attempt to help his students. To truly cooperate, all parties must have a common interest; they cannot be selfish. Cooperation is the spur of modern life and activity. Where men used to compete, they now merge and unite. Those corporations which are the greatest successes today are immense bodies of men, all working together for one common purpose. As your life in the classroom is much the same, try to profit by these great examples, and, through cooperation, make your own work and that of your teacher a greater success. 58 —WM. C. MURRAY, JR. Student Council RICHARD MILLER HAROLD BLANCHARD President of Student Council School Treasurer The Student Council was organized this year for the fifth time in the history of C. H. S. Richard Miller had been elected, by the students as President and Charles Butters as Vice President. President Miller appointed Mildred Monroe as Secretary. The Council is the governing body of the students and has discussed many school problems such as tardiness, standard seal, point system and order in the halls. Through the Student Council the faculty and the students work together. The Council not only governs but encourages athletics and fosters school spirit. Each home room chooses one person to represent them in the Council. The members are: Leo Franz, Charlene Tubbs, Dorothy Hammond, Beatrice Daugherty, Mildred Monroe, Frank Butters, Margaret Clark, Louise Mount, Ruth Franz, Carl Sicler.

PA., JUNE 1927 NO. 2 PROFESSOR RABBIT SPEAKS IN ASSEMBLY Three weeks ago Corry was honored by the visit oi Professor Rabbit. T. E. (Thoroughly Educated) the renowned lecturer on ('lover Seed. He visited the High School and gave a very interesting talk. Proof of the in terest is the fact that he actually kept two students awake all through his lecture. We heard about it from them. Professor Rabbit has spent the greater part of his life perfecting a Four Leaf Everlasting Clover, and we shall lie greatly indebted to him if he does give us a four leal clover that stays by us even during Exams. This noted lecturer late of Hear City comes to us direct from .his laboratories, and informs us that his clover is convalescing from a recent dose of Tokia-anti-Tokia. administered to keep the llvs off. This lecture was very enjoyable, and we hope that Professor Rabbit won't be with us again in the very near future. Black Eyes Mascot ... G. Shirtlcss Owen L. in Front ............. ..

Her fame nas spread for miles, even reaching Findley Lake and Sherman, where the chickens gossip about it. Such renown is not undeserved and we have come to the conclusion that Miss Evelyn has some appreciation due her; not every school can boast so expert a flapper. Without a doubt if medals were awarded the champion who took the most flip-flops on roller skates, in the most artistic ways. Miss Belding would carry off the alligator's nose warmer. Crowds gathered morning, noon and night during March to watch the little wonder sail around corners on her nose, her ear and her knees. Few are those who failed to ga-p in admiration at her torn dress and bruised knees. It was rumored that M.'lty was confined to his bed for days from over worried anxiety. and can we blame him?

Blair recovered, wound up and placed it neatly over the plate and VanCise slammed it a mile past the outfielders. but the punch failed to Ik a knockout and the False Teeth were given a five vard penalty. In the next deal Desmond held a Royal Flush and Barker held a Full House. They couldn't agree as to the standing of each, and so many below the belt blows were given and taken that a double foul was called. Both sides made good. A member of each team was missed so a searching party was made up. They were found in a sparsely populated corner of t.he gym and a foul was called on Kittleberger for holding. Fhilips made a much needed home run in the third, using her trusty breast stroke. A center ball was called on. and Zalzneck shook of! a great amount of weight, and using his cheer leader tactics, got the tipoff. VanCise recovered on a fumble and passed to Barker who progressed in a circle for some time and finally succeeded in losing fifteen yards. Mascots Owens and Butters had waded in so fast and furiously that both were taken to the Corry Hospital at this point. In the next center ball Swanson executed and thoroughly beheaded a swan dive and the game was turned into a massacre completely outclassing the Boston outrage. PROBLEMS BEFORE THE BOARD The Corry School Board has spent two nights in secret sessions wondering vaguely w.hat to do about those who will persist in sliding down stairs right under Mr. Sheen’s nose. Some fall, some slip, and some get pushed, but all take their little slide, and the Board is up in arms at this vagrant wearing down of the stairs. Numerous suggestions have l een given consideration but the decision has been either well concealed or not hashed out yet. Being of such fertile minds we offer our little bit. Why not strew the steps with itching powder so that the little dears will not be tempted? Or better yet. meet tnem at the foot of the stairs with a bottle of Cod Liver Oil? Of course we’d let Mr. Owens feed it to them. He’d like to. you can just see it in his eyes. Naturally we wish the Board the l cst of luck, but if they won’t let us slide down the steps, we can warm the bannister, any how. EXCHANGES Grass Widow, Lovells.

We were so glad to learn that the robins have arrived. They must have missed Corry. EXTRATERRITORIAL When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary to remodel the school grounds, we really ought to make a good job of it. Numerous plans have been submitted and the official committee of two Mr Sheen and the janitor, have given them all a weighty consideration (in fact the weight of the consideration was so great that it tore the liest plan up the middle, hence anything that sounds funny about it may Ik laid to that). The plan of the plan that they thought was the lK st plan, goes something like this: To build a sunken garden just outside the window of Mr. Sheen’s office, so that the sunken spirits of cul-prets may have company in their misery. A playing fountain in the center of this garden with cupids and urns, and lion's heads on it and even a statue of “The Thinker (representing Mr. Sheen) would be appropriate not to mention one or two quaking aspens. and a weeping willow which would nicely carry out the plan of the garden. The author suggested a bed of Four O’clocks on the corner of Spring and Pleasant streets, and somehow this flower seems very fitting. Is not Four O'clock the happiest moment in our day? To l� e sure it is four six. but when the whistle blow its really all over but the shouting. On the same side your beloved Alma Mater a clump of fir trees might Ik planted to break the fall of those who get thrown out of the laboratory. The vegetable l cd on the corner toward the Journal Office will l� e formally dedicated to Mr. Owens when he slips into his blue overalls and pulls on his gloves to plow the stretch. He has promised to raise the much lauded tomatoes and spinach graspl crr:es. the rest of the plot will Ik filled in with Castor O'l beans and let tuce. The other corner will l e left vacant so that people may see the school. The celebrated author of this remarkable plot plan, or conspiracy will have to remain anonymous. we don’t want any riots, but the blue prints may l c had by sending in $ 0.00 in Confederate money to Miss Titus and giving Miss Kidder the right answer for a change 71 72 Board of Education Mrs. Maud H.

At their first meeting Betty Allen was elected President and Dorothy Barker Secretary and Treasurer. Many hikes have been enjoyed and the club has helped in many ways to arouse the school spirit in athletics. Members of the club sold candy at games and obtained trucks as transportation for out of town games. Puzzle Club One of the most interesting and enjoyable clubs in the school is the Puzzle Club. It has a membership of about thirty. The group organized under the supervision of Mr. Theuret, electing Margaret Purcell as President and Mildred Dahlstrand as Secretary and Treasurer. Some very peppy meetings have since been held during which many seemingly unsolvable puzzles have been worked out. The success of the club is largely due to the interest shown by the members and to the fact that they have co-operated to such a great extent. Bird Club Originator . . . President Vice President Secretary . . . .......Mr. Blanden . . F rank Van Tassel Miss Lucile Biakeslee Edward Crapser, Jr. In the past the members of the Bird Club studied of birds from books. This material was both interesting and valuable, but this year the purpose of the Bird Club is to learn of different kinds of birds and their habits from personal observation. Each week different members tell of their own interesting experiences with birds. These experiences the club has studied. This is interesting and also hard to do. There have been funds raised at the club meetings which were given to the Library Eund Committee. These funds will go toward a large volume of highly colored pictures of birds, which will be of value to both members ot the club and others in the school. The Bird Club this year has been one of the most active in the school for some time. It has a membership of twenty-one energetic members who are ready to do all they can for the club and to help preserve bird life. 70 Party Planning Club Every member of the Farcy Planning Club was Field responsible for one page of a notebook a month. I his is being put in the form of a notebook, which is to be kept in the library, to be used by members of the school. It contains amusing games; menus, which correspond with the occasion; and costumes for Valentine’s Day. Hallowe’en, Christmas, Easter, etc. A Hallowe’en party was held in Gladys Alexander’s garage. Decorations were in keeping with Hallowe’en. At 10 o’clock a delicious supper was served. Games and dancing furnished entertainment for the evening. Miss McCormack. Mrs. Smith and Miss Connel were chaperons. They are planning to have several more parties before the end of the year. 80 The Boys’ Athletic Club This club is composed of the members of the different athletic squads during the school year. While football season is on the boys meet with the coach during the club period; and a discussion is carried on concerning the mistakes of the last game and the place for the coming one. The same procedure holds good for the basketball and track squads. Members of the club who do not compete in the following sport automatically drop out and enroll in another club. By means of the visual instruction possible during these club periods much valuable time is saved on the field and court where actual demonstration and practice of the plans worked out in the club period can take place. 81 Camera Club President.........................................................Charles Shaver Vice President....................................................Mabel McMillan Treasurer.......................................................... Harold Lloyd The purpose of the club is to take, print, and develop pictures. Several hikes have been enjoyed and several pictures taken. The club has gone to Mr. Healey’s studio where he explained the process of printing and developing pictures. Many members developed and printed their own pictures. All members of the club were painfully initiated. Some members of the club are now making a laboratory in the High School, where the club will meet to print and develop their pictures. Story Telling Club The Story Telling Club sponsored by Miss Kidder has had a very successful year. The term was started by electing the following officers President........................................................Dorothy Dimick Vice President..................................................Margaret Foreman Secretary and Treasurer.............................................Mary Belding The members of the club have learned the good points of story telling and can put them into use very effectively. The club took up the telling of children s stories, jokes, short stories and stories to be told around a campfire. Glee Club The Glee Club is composed of fifty members, twenty boys and thirty girls. They elected Frank Butters as President, John Freno as Vice President and Ruth French as Secretary and Treasurer. A party was held in April. The members proved their enthusiasm by making a “real’ party. The Club gave a concert the first week in May which was Music week. They were assisted by the Junior and Senior High Orchestra. The ability of the Club and their leader made this a success. «4 Orchestra This year ihe High School Orchestra reached the very heighth of perfection, due to the excellent leadership of Miss Murray and to the faithfulness of the members in attending rehearsals and taking a real interest in iheir work. The orchestra played not only for various entertainments, but also for the Woman s Club and for assemblies at both Junior and Senior High Schools. Plans are being made for a concert to be presented with the co-operation of the Senior High School Glee Club during Music Week. Then, too, we expect the orchestra to play at the Commencement exercises and for o.her important events of the near future. The personnel of the orchestra is as follows: First violins—Max Harvey, Robert Kulp, Grace Merrick, Richard Bachofner. Second violins—Alma Anderson, Anna Briskie, Norman York, Dominic Falconi. Cornet—0. K. Murray. Saxophones—Ruth French, Blaine Kinney. Trombone—Elwood Pitchford Piano—Miss L. Murray. 85 Debating Club First Semester President ....................................

Vice President................................ Secretary .................................... Ruth Matteson Edith Swanson . Robert Kulp Ruth Bennett Edith Swanson The “Wranglers” have enjoyed several debates. Some of the debates were: Resolved: that it is advisable for two students to study together.” “Resolved: that moving pictures do more harm than good. “Resolved: that it would be better to have eight periods a day, but no supervised study periods. There are always two debates in the future so everyone will have something to do. Not only work has been accomplished, but much fun has been derived from it. It is our hope that this club, when organized next year may be able to have debates with other High Schools near us. 86 $ 1 O V f Q m vO Jl .
