Y. in 1863. He attended Webster Academy and first taught in a district school. In 1887 he was graduated with honors from Cortland Normal school, Cortland, N. V., and for the next three years was principal of the Union school at Locke, N. Y. He then entered Syracuse University and completed two years of the course. His college work was continued at Cornell University, and at Tulane University, in New Orleans, La. In 1890 he was appointed instructor in Physics and Chemistry in the Boys’ High School of New Orleans. In 1899 he was appointed instructor in Physics in Rochester High school, and when the East High school was completed he was appointed to the position which he now holds. The Physics Department is one of the best in the school. Mr. Harris is in his work, heart and soul, and spares no pains to make the work there interesting and entertaining, and undoubtedly to this fact is due much of the success of this line of work. The relations between Mr. Harris and the students have always l een the most cordial possible and June, ’09 only hopes they will continue to be so. CHARLES EVERETT HARRIS in recognition of his keen and enduring interest in EAST HIGH SCHOOL this volume is dedicated PREFACE JN publishing this issue of the Senior Annual, we, the Class of June, ’09, have endeavored to give a record, as complete as possible, not only of our own class but also of the school for the past year. We have passed our allotted time in East High, and now upon our departure we leave this volume as a last memorial of June, ’09. May it be a pleasure for you to read these pages now, and in future years may they serve as a reminder of the happy days spent in our Alma Mater. June, ’09.

HORACE MAC DOWELL President WILLIS BRADSTREET Vice-President CLASS OFFICERS DORIS VAN ZANDT Secretary HERMAN NORTON Treasurer Class History THE year of 1009 has generally been spoken of as one famous for the large number of centennials of the birth of great men and the accomplishment of great deeds which occur in it. But it is not necessary to look into the past for events worthy of remembrance. This very year is the one appointed by destiny for the graduation of our class from the East High School, and it is now the glorious task of my humble pen to write a brief history ol the four years spent in East High by this class which takes its name from the date, June '09. It was a rainy and windy September morning in the year of 1905 that, filled with a realization of our own importance, but hesitating a little on account of the haughty looks of pompous Seniors, we first came to this school and made our way up to the third floor. There we found our studyrooms, and spent most of our time. The weather and our spirits seemed to-agree that day, we were so depressed and gloomy. But it took more than a stormy sky and a few rough experiences to keep down June,'09. Just as the next day dawned bright and clear, so our path lay bright and clear before us. Several of our number established a record by gaining places on the school teams in their freshman year, and of these we are proud. But for the most part we merely gained strength for the work that lay before us. As Sophomores, we began to broaden out and take a greater part in the activi- ties of the school, and soon the other classes saw that June, 09 was worthy of resj cct and esteem. All our actions and aims compared very favorably with those of other second-year classes. Thus another year passed. The following fall we entered as Juniors. Then, in truth, others saw what we were We now saw what High school life really was, and there was little which we allowed to get by us. The Junior Prom, given in connection with the January, 09 class was the social event of the year, and our Farce was also a great success. Our teams were better than ever before, and the spirit with which they met stronger opponents was unexcelled, even if we did have to occasionally yield the palm to others. But as the grand climax of the year we won the interclass track champion- ship away from the Seniors at the annual Field Day. All too soon we found ourselves at the beginning of our last year in East High, and as Seniors we determined to make it the best of all. With the addition of many new memlnrs from various sources we started off with our old time spirit and vim, against which nothing could stand. We strove, not for our own glory, but for the good of the school, for as the Seniors we felt that this should be our true aim. We have not merely watched what others have done, but have entered into the work ourselves and have l een responsible for much of East High’s success. It has been a pleasure for us to do our part in keeping up the name of the school, not only by winning victories in football, basketball, track, and other interscholastic contests, but also in supporting the various organizations. We have seen the school prosper, and believing that we have done our part, we must now leave. But may the memory of these four years always remain with us, and may the memorvof June, 09 always remain with the school. George Lldolph, Class Historian. SENIOR CLASS — Class Prophecy ABOUT twenty years, after I left high school, fortune at last smiled bright enough to allow me to begin a trip around the world and, fearing that the tickle goddess might suddenly change her mind, I made hay while the sun shone;” and thus it came about that 1 was aboard the steamship “Arctic’ bound for Europe. As soon as an opportunity presented itself I went to Captain Irving Richard and introduced myself. Captain Richard instantly recognized me and gave me the “glad hand.” He was a fine looking fellow with his nicely trimmed mustasche and goatee and has an enviable record on the sea. “By the way he said “there are a couple of our classmates aboard. Perhaps you can find them.” I went on the hunt. Whom should 1 meet near the gangway but Ned Moore and Gretta Ordway, walking along with a most piously sorrowful look on their faces. They greeted me with quiet dignity, and in answer to my inquiry, said that they were missionaries and on their way “to minister unto the spiritual need of the heathen.” We chatted over old times and classmates and among other things, they told me that in New Orleans were several of our friends. Louis Berry was a pros- perous butcher there, Eva Wannamacher was giving vocal lessons and Joseph Ernst was an alderman and incidentally building up a well paying business. I, in turn told of the few I knew, how Harvey Thomas was president of the Plasterers Union, Ruth Gillis was teaching in a small school over which Henry Weiland acted as principal, Harry Schreib was Superintendent of Charities and how Elliot Dewey was the greatest electrician of the age and had patented numerous wonder- ful inventions. The next day when Captain Richard offered to take me through the ship, I assented gladly. When we reached the engine room he pointed out two of the stokers. “Recognize them?” said he. “Why, no.” I replied. “Art Beale and Ty' Barker. Fact! Came to me in New York, and wanted a job. I put them down here shoveling coal because I knew they’d come to a bad end sometime, and when they do get their regular jobs, they might as well be in practise. Cy takes it all right but Art complains that 1 am ruining his complexion.” ()ur voyage was completed safely, and bidding my freinds farewell, I landed in England. Among the custom officers was Harold Ailing and by giving him a cigar, I passed without inspection. As I walked along, I noticed ahead of me a crowd around a man on a barrel. He was gesticulating wildly and shouting. Imagine my surprise to see that it was Alexander Davis, displaying his well known oratorical ability by extolling to the skies, the merits of “Davis’ Wart and Mole Remover.”—“This is the only original. Satisfaction guaranteed. Only two shillings! Removes warts, moles, corns, bunions, blemishes of every kind over night. Don’t crowd there, ladies. Get ’em while they last”—and evidently they were getting them, for a man, whom I recog- nized as Edward Strauchen was having hard work to hand them out and collect his fee. Just then some one touched me on the arm and, looking round 1 saw a quiet looking gentleman, with glasses on the end of his nose, which was very red, from exposure, he said. “Don’t you know me?” he asked. ¥ “No,” I replied, and he handed me a card on which I read, “Prof. George Ludolph, Head of German Department, Oxford University.” George, in spite of his subdued appearance, for he told me confidentially that he was a very hen- pecked man, was a fine old sport and he showed me around the town in great style. That afternoon we called on the American Consul, Mr. Leo Sullivan, who seemed very glad to see us and with pardonable pride introduced us to his wife and two fine children. Evidently his consular duties were not very pressing for he joined the professor and me that night when we went to see Miss Margaret Howe, playing the leading role in a great American drama, written especially for her by Marguerite Reed and Julius Kaelber. Her manager, so the Professor told me, was Ward Whitney. She acted with as much ease and grace as ever and was now one of the leading actresses of the world. The next morning I stood on the curb to watch a suffragist procession in honor of the visiting American delegation. In the first carriage were Misses Ruth Cramer and Cecelia Poler. Among the marching enthusiasts were Irene Larzelere, Carolyn Steele and Theckla Jones. The crowd around cheered and shouted, and some over enthusiastic individual gave me a push into the middle of the street. A big burly policeman pulled me back, whom I recognized as Lynn Reed. He looked very nice in his spotless uniform and shining buttons and seemed quite contented. Sunday was the next day, and coming to a fine looking church. I entered. Imagine my surprise and astonishment to see Harold Baker in the pulpit. He had grown quite stout and it did me good to see the perspiration roll down his cheeks and over his double chin as he preached. He was very much in earnest and I left greatly impressed. Soon I left England and crossing Europe, came to Berlin. That night I went to a circus and behold! the world’s greatest acrobats, the Sakorii Brothers, were no others than Herman Norton. Gilbert Cox. and Howard Henderson. They did some wonderful tricks and especially did they shine on horseback. Gasps of admiration and wonder came from all around. I was, however, not surprised at their remarkable skill on the ponies when I thought of their great experience in that line at school. Next came an act in which Miss Jean Roy, known as Mine. Caro, performed with a fierce looking lion. Then came the clowns, among whom I recognized Teal Cox and Otho Clark. They were very funny, even more so than at East High. In the morning, 1 noticed in the paper that a piano recital would be given that evening by Miss Doris Van Zandt, who had just completed a three years studv in Berlin. I should have liked veiy much to go but I felt that I could not wait and soon was speeding across Russia and Siberia to Japan. At Tokio was an international exjxxsition and thither I bent my steps. There I met Russell West, in charge of the exhibition of American mushroom growers. Russell told me that he had made a great success of mushroom growing and now was experimenting with grafting them on watermelon vines. lie said that he hoped to obtain a delicious result and become a famous man. But I could not linger long in this land and soon arrived in China. The first day I was there the Emperor passed and, with him, a great retinue of servants. I almost collapsed! who could that be togged out in red and yellow clothes with tassels and bells, a typical court jester but Egbert Silvcrnaii. He was talking Chinese to the Emperor at an awful rate and evidently was quite a success. I left soon after and, when we arrived in San Francisco, feeling ill, went into see the first doctor I came to. imagine my surprise to see Homer Smith, who fixed me up with the usual dose of powders and pills. The doctor took a walk with me, and besides telling me that Elizabeth Copeland was practising in the same city, pointed out the millinery shop of Edna Paviour, and also Mayor Donald McGill, who was a little short, rotund man. Soon I departed but stopped long enough at the mountains to look at the tunnel which Edwin Davis, the great engineer was building. It was really a creditable piece of work and I congratulated him on his success. My train came and after getting on, I purchased a paper. Almost the first thing I saw was that Willis Bradstreet had been elected to Congress. A long account followed of his early life, his marvelous brightness in school and his splendid political career, and ended by predicting great things for his future. In Chicago I stopped long enough to greet Horace Mac Dowell, now known the world over as the leading expert in forestry, and to have Charles Wadhams, D.D.S., pull a troublesome tooth. Charlie extracted not only the tooth without pain but also his fee in the same gentle manner. Horace told me that the famous Samuelardo Zornowiski and his wonderful orchestra would give a concert that evening and asked me to accompany him. I consented gladly and listened to the divine music which Sam called forth by merely waving his baton with the keenest delight. Undoubtedly the greatest part of the success of the orchestra was due to the excellent playing of Karl Mengerink on the drum and Ethan Lauer on his violin. Horace called mv attention to one of the boxes where sat Mrs.—, formerly Miss Marjorie Hummel, the society leader of the town. With her were her three guests whom 1 had known as Margaret Tillson, Catherine Tuke, and Marion Richmond, but Mrs. — spoke of them by other names. In another box were General Guv Bloom, resplendent in medals and gold lace, and David Dens- more, editor of the “Wireless,” the most influential newspaper of the day. But Fortune, who had smiled so brightly till now, began to look dubious and feeling that I ought to be at home to attend to my interests there, reluctantly I left my friends and travels and sped in that direction as fast as steam could carry me.

Four years—which seemed to us when firgt we entered here An almost never-ending length of time,— Have flown, and now we leave thee, Alma Mater dear. In looking back how sweet the memories are, ’ Iis but a pleasant sunny path our eyes behold. No clouds of gloom arising in the skies Dispel from view the sunshine’s joyous rays of gold. The mi£ts at times have circled round our way. To be soon vanquished by the brightness all around; And mountains rough loomed up before our eyes, But when we reached them. fled, leaving but level ground. )j Greatly indebted are we now to thee, -To thee we owe much of our growth of mind and soul; For Alma Mater, thou ha$t helped to teach Each one to set before himself a worthy goal. And so it is with sadness that wc leave. And break the tender bonds so dear to every one; But we shall cherish still thy memory And gladly give to thee the honor thou hast won. And, now as we depart from thee, our School Whate’er our work, let this be each one’s aim ; I o live a life of uprightness and truth. A life that ever will bring honor to thy name. BESSIE SCHOOLER.

Many impromptu debates were held as well as other debates of more weighty sub- stance, upon which much time was spent by the members. Throughout the year parliamentary drill was practised on various occasions, causing many witty dis- cussions to arise. Much interest was manifested during the year, by the students, although, with the coming of summer the meetings were discontinued, the call of baseball, track, tennis and other outdoor sports proving to be of greater interest. The Nature Club When the meetings of the Nature Club began last fall, we decided to have a program decidedly different from those of former years. The indoor meetings were very successful. The members of the club gave the majority of the talks on various subjects of which Zoology had a prominent place accompanied by dis- cussions of birds. VVe also received a large amount of interesting information in regard to Geology and Forestry. Since Christmas, birds have been the most ab- sorbing subject. A very good calendar has been obtained. At Christmas a fine bird census was taken. Since then the indoor meetings have been given up in a large degree and walks have taken their place. As a result of these excursions our bird list has gone above 130 species and many specimens of the flora of this country have been obtained. The Chess Club Once more there is a Chess Club in East High! Twice such an organization has been in existance here and twice has it died a natural death—or at least been in such a semi-comotose condition that it has been taken for dead. This club owes its existance to Mr. Gray, for it was he who excited the interest here, taught the game, and presided at the first meeting when the following officers were elected: President: Willard H. Emerson Vice-President: David W. Ogden Secretary: Leo Dwyer Treasurer: Philip Ogden. One tournament was played, and the interest of those concerned in it spoke well for the future welfare. Then another tournament was arranged for, for the double purpose, of choosing a team, and awarding the two free memberships in the Rochester Chess Club,which that body kindly offered to the members. But as the days grew warmer, the sky bluer, and the sun brighter, nature attracted the Chess players more than the tournament, so it has been postjjoned till fall. To the credit of the club at the close of the first season, there are fourteen chess boards, and fourteen sets of men and a fairly well stocked treasury. The German Club Early in the year 1909 an entirely new organization came into existence in the East High school. This was the German Club. It was for the most part through the efforts of Mr. William Betz, head of the German department, that this club originated, he devoting much time in planning for the meetings, and doing a great deal towards making them interesting. Twice a month “einc Versammlung” was held in Room 47, where stories were told, songs sung, and sj eeches delivered, all in the German language. This first year has been very successful, and it is hoped that the following years may be just as prosperous. Roman State THIS past year has been one unique in the other six years of the life of the Roman State. The distinction has been in the management of the State. The officials,assisted by the citizens have held entire responsibility,and have.them- selves, taken the first step in all undertakings. By no means did the life of the State die out after the excitement of the campaign and election. This served only as an incentive to the pupils and they have increased in enthusiasm and ardor since. Immediately after the campaign an interesting trial was held in the morning assemblies. The charge was against Willis Bradstreet, censor, for having allowed candidates to run illegally for offices at election time. Although Mr. Bradstreet was acquitted, since no definite law was found to condemn him, nevertheless many citizens of the State realized a need of laws in addition to those already passed and several, essential to the management of the State have since been enacted. On the evening of April second, the Roman entertainment was given. Here- tofore a trial has been held annually, but this year a series of scenes from Caesar and Cicero were presented, each one being historically significant. Practically all of the Latin pupils helped in some way to make the entertainment a success, and surely those who attended, of whom there were a goodly number, received an education from it. The Vox Populi has in this, its first year, flourished even beyond the anticipa- tions of its founders. It is published independently, has its own editorial stall and business management and furnishes interesting reading matter for the Latin scholars. The publication of this paper is without doubt the most important and valuable single activity of the State. Plans are under way for the Roman Banquet which will be held June ninteenth. The banquet this year will differ from those previously held in that it is to include only members of the Senior class. Since the issue of the '08 Senior Annual permanent patrician pins have been granted the following: June, ’08 Helen Lockwood Dora Neun Martha Betz Florence Carmen Hester Hopkins Edna Haggith January, 09 Irene Beir Julia Sauer Carolyn Castle Margaret Weaver The monthly meetings of the Publicum Cousilium have been faithfully attended and it is here that all the important business of the State has been transacted.

Sullivan, ’03 whose work as coach of the football team has done so much to place the athletic standard of the school well in the lead among the preparatory schools of Central and Western New York. “Sully” has always stood firm for clean athletics in every sense of the word and the high regard in which he is held by the students of the school is justly deserved. Much of the credit is due him for the excellent record made by the team this year in winning every game on its schedule. It is the sincere hope of the class of June 1909 that anything which he may take up in the future will prove as successful as has been his work among us during the past two yea re.

Some people are inclined to think that everything worth while was in the past and no longer exists. But this is not always so. Throughout this whole school year which is now drawing to a close it has been a pleasure to watch how well the various lines of activity have been supported. This is not being said to make you feel pleasant, but because the editor honestly thinks the spirit ought to be recognized and mentioned. Not only have almost entirely all the games and entertainments been marked by the large crowds in attendance, but there has also been a greater number than usual of the students who have tried for places on the teams and in the various organizations. Perhaps it is this very active support which has helped to make this year such a successful one. It is not every year that the East High team wins the football championship, but the 08 team did. We also beat our sister school ami dearest rival, West High, in every line of athletics. Xor were we behind them in other school enterprises. Looking at it from every point of view, the editor believes that the year of l(.)08-09 has been one of the most successful in the history of the school. SPECTATOR Few students in the school at the present time know anything about the origin of this department of the Clarion. It made its first appearance in the original number of the Clarion published in the fall of 1901. The author was chosen from the senior class and his identity was unknown to the general public until the June copy of the Clarion appeared. The department was supposed to express, from the standpoint of an outsider, an opinion on the live topics of school life, condeming and praising with absolutely no prejudice. The writers of this column in former years have been as follows: Louis Reynolds ’01-’02 Clark F. Hunn 'Oo-'Ofi Jerome Hecht ’02- 03 George Snell '06-’07 Albert H. Leoffler ’03-’04 David Samson '()7-’08 Ned Conklin 04- 05 The Spectator has earnestly tried this last year to pick out the most glaring faults which have made themselves conspicuous about school and criticise them but at the same time to praise any improvement along any line of school activity. The Spectator perhaps has stirred up illfeelings and made enemies and if so is sincerely sorry that anyone should take offence but the truth must come out and there is only one class of people that become angry when their actions are criticised in a perfectly honest and just manner. In closing the Spectator wishes to thank all those who by their help and suggestions have in any way assisted in any of the reforms or any of the new ideas that have been attempted about school this past year. Wishing the greatest possible success to the next Spectator and to every enterprise which the East High School may enter into I now sever my connections with the Clarion as Spectator. David Samson. At the close of a very pleasant year's experience, the Exchange Editor makes his final bow to the readers of the Clarion. In looking over the work of his own department he finds some mistakes of omission and commission, but he discovers that he has become very much attached to a large number of school publications, and has a much better knowledge of what is going on in the high school world. He feels as if he had friends in every part of the country—friends with the same am- bitions, difficulties, and interests in life. Grouping all the papers together it is easy to understand how much the student l odies of the different schools have in common. In almost every school, for instance, there are those of a literary turn of mind, who write excellent short stories and furnish creditable articles for their paper. There are also those who comment upon current school events, criticising this and that, anti making sug- gestions about school activities. The exchange editor is not always able to com- prehend the local jokes and personal drives which form a part of nearly nil the papers, but these jibes are, as a rule, cleverly written, and plainly furnish spice and interest for the home students. Many times he has found himself catching the same spirit of banter, and enjoying a laugh at the expense of someone he did not know at all. A thing which the exchange editor has had occasion to comment upon hereto- fore is the spirit of loyalty to the best interests of the school which is present in all the school papers. Many editorials have appeared calling for a renewal of school spirit, and urging students to a deeper interest in the success of the school. This is a good feature of high school journalism, for it is the mission of the school paper to boom all the affairs of the school. In most of the papers athletics have come in for a prominent share of space, and this is but natural among young people full of life and vigor, where there i- opportunity for rivalry with other schools. It cannot Ik said, however, that the space given to athletics is to the exclusion of other excellent matter. Certainly, a well trained body is a great asset to the student. Some one has called attention to the fact that “it was when the gymnasium had made each Athenian youth an Apollo in health and strength that the feet of the Greek race ran most nimbly along the paths of art and literature and philosophy, and no better argument could be made for clean and wholesome school athletics. The work of the year in this department has been pleasant and interesting- A good many of our exchanges have said pleasant things about the Clarion, hut we have been too modest to quote them all. The modesty of the Clarion editorial stall' is proverbial, anyway. But the exchange editor can truthfully say, in laying down his pen, that it has been a genuine pleasure to work with his brother editors, and that he believes, after having read some fifty or sixty exchanges during the school year, that the Clarion holds its own with any of them, and has ably repre- sented the school life of East High. And to represent East High School, Alexander Street, Rochester, X. V., is to represent the finest institution of its kind in the land!
