From the Press of THE CRAFTSMAN ADVERTISING SERVICE, Inc. KOCH ESTER The Record of the Class of June Nineteen Hundred and Sixteen, of East High School, and the course of events during the year are con' tained in this hook. I. 1C TO ' CLARENCE ' C ' ROGERS � TEACHER ADVISOR r FRIEND hose brotherly influence, keen interest anil hearty friendship have been felt by all of us during our acquaint- ance with him; the Class of June Nineteen Hundred and Sixteen, in a sincere spirit of appreciation and gratitude, dedicates this hook. [Hi APPRECIATION The Class of June Nineteen Hundred and Sixteen wishes to express here its appreciation to Miss Sara Schwcndler, who has given freely of her time and effort to help the members of the Class. E O 7 I he Faculty A Review of the School Year On September 8. 1915. the school opened with the largest registration it had ever known. 1 his brought with it many new problems and the administration has been taxed in its solution of them. One of the first things to he done was to adjust the room question. More classes had to he formed and a sufficient number of rooms had to he secured. I his was done by having teachers move from room to room. Teachers who had long been accustomed to regarding a room as strictly their own, found themselves forced to retreat to the Conference” room or to the locker room for one or more periods. Hut we would not have you think that this was done grudgingly. On the contrary, all were most willing to do anything that might sene to better the interests of all concerned. 'I he rooms and teachers having been assigned, the assembly question came next. There were too many of us for the Assembly Hall and so three assemblies were held, one for all exerpt the first year term pupils, one for the entering boys and one for the entering girls. After a few weeks this was changed to two assemblies, one for all except the first year pupils and one immediately following this for the rest. In order to save time, the first year classes had their first recitation during the first assembly. At the close of the second assembly all were ready for the second period class. In connection with the main assembly, this year has seen the development of school singing. Through the help of Mr. Clark as leader. Mr. Harris and the lantern slides, and members of the orchestra, we now have Friday morning “sings that arc not only a credit to the school, but are thoroughly enjoyed by all. With these crowded conditions, what kind of work is being done ? Before answering this question, let us see what the pupils and teachers have to face. The classes arc larger, which means that pupils have fewer opportunities for individual attention, and some suffer because of it, while others, being forced to rely upon themselves to a greater extent than before, have been benefited to that extent. The teachers have felt their inability to do so well by the pupils as they did under normal conditions, but have done their utmost to keep the record of the school a satisfactory one. With cooperation on the part of the pupils and teachers, results are hound to be satisfactory, and the number of promotions in January' compared very favorably with that of former years. In January, however, our already overburdened school was so congested by the number of entering pupils that it did not seem possible that we could take care of them. After numerous shiftings here and there, the work has been accomplished. It is safe to ay that if the coming September sees many more making their way toward Fast High School. “Portables” will be adorning our spacious athletic field, either in front or at the side of the building. Let us hope that the good city fathers who arc so interested in the good name of the City of Rochester will see that we have at least one other Senior High School in the immediate future, and may those who are responsible for this book be reminded of civic pride as they turn to this report in the not far distant future when they, too, become responsible for the conditions under which their children arc instructed.

Purple and white, endeared colors gleam. With tender voice, fair Memory greets us now, “These gifts thy school, in parting, gives to thee. Pray, guard them, youths and maidens, keep them bright, In patient search for Wisdom's golden key. Gently we touch the banners; eager, seek To find what message may be written there. Words, or inscriptions blazoned, there are none. Nor is their shimmering surface plain and bare. Our school the blazing Seal of Honor gave, And Loyalty, in shining bars, we find, The knowing weaver threads of Friendship wove. And left the Stars of Happiness behind. Wondrous thy works, Oh, Alma Mater Dear, Wondrous thy knowledge, freely poured apart— Dearest of all to us, these mystic gifts, Sacred, we cherish always in our heart. The guardian angel of Our Future’s joy. Points us with radiant linger to thy towers, We go, to give the world our noblest part. Strong with the love of thee, High School of Ours.

KlI AKI III l’lERREPONT Prepared No 33 School 14 Laura Street General Hospital H r will perform in measure, time and place ” 5s Class History W hen the purple curtain of the autumn term of 1912 of the East High School slow U rose it disclosed a scene very similar to that on which it had risen during the previous years. ct there was a difference, because for the first time the class of June .Nineteen Sixteen presented itself. We arrived at the school safe and sound. A few of us entered the long halls wit I one thought foremost in our minds, to “show ’em” what wc could do; there were M mr who walked through the halls with faltering steps and shaking knees, whose greatest desire was to turn and flee; there were some who. inquiring innocently where they could find their rooms, were sent to the most ridiculous places in the building. Everyone seemed possessed by the desire to give the Freshmen a good time. We. in turn, were filled with the pleasant anticipation of giving similar future events. With the help of Miss Schwendler and Mr. Rogers, our faculty advisors, the girls and boys organized, separately. The boys drew up their constitution and began the task of paying class dues. The girls, on the other hand, failed to draw up a con- stitution. but stored their money for future use. The first year of our high school course came to an end. The events or that year wrought good results, so that in our Sophomore year wc began to take an active interest in school enterprises and Activities. The boys attempted a novel experiment; that of having a theatre party and luncheon. T his event, although a sort of bachelor affair, proved very successful. The girls, likewise, succeeded in their good times. Their first event was an “Early Acquaintance” party. A Hallowe’en Masquerade soon followed with unusual success. For the first time in the history of the school several of the girls of the class won the Underwood Typewriting Certificate for Efficiency. They also did their share toward defeating West High School in the annual type- writing contest. In the fall of 1915. wc returned as Juniors somewhat diminished in numbers but otherwise the same friendly old class. Our first task was to re-organize—not separately—hut as one body. Our class constitution, which has always been respected, was drawn up and adopted by the class. Soon after this the class ventured forth into social activities, holding its famous “Mixer,’ which was the first activity that the boys and girls of June, '16. held after they com- bined. This affair eclipsed the most optimistic anticipations of the Social Committee. A “Peanut Hunt” was indulged in. while others embarked on a journey to the cave of “Mere de la Nuit ' where they met their fate. We were entertained by Monsieur and Madame Creme dc Men the, famous society dancers, by Laurence Zeeveld, who played the piano and by Rosalie Robins, who sang. To enumerate the many' events in which the class has played a prominent part would be impossible. The many track victories, the basketball championship and cross- country arc hut a few of the honors which the class has attained while in school. 1 he girls as well as the boys have shown their worth in athletics. They organized an Inter-study room basketball team, a tennis tournament and a baseball team, having success in all. In November, our Junior Dance came off and was a great success both socially and financially. “A Ford in need is a Ford, indeed !M In May, Charles Lee gave us the honor of using his Ford in transporting our small articles to Genesee Valley Park, where our Junior Picnic was held, this being the last of our Junior events. As we of 1910 look back on our Junior year, it is with nothing hut pride and happy remembrances. Now. we are Seniors! Our final tasks, to establish precedents which will he looked back upon with great satisfaction by all following classes, have begun. In November, our Dance and Masquerade resulted in a very delightful affair. The Senior Farce given with the January class added to the growing fame of the class. There was one event in our Senior year which differed very much from the custom of former classes, that of having a Leap 'tear Dance. The girls invited the boys, made out tlie dance programs and paid all the bills. All too soon we find ourselves at the end ot our last year in Fast High. We strove, not for our own glory, but tor the good of the school. The history ot the last four years, which we ourselves have actually shaped and formed, will be but as the turning of a page compared with the history of June, 16. that is yet to be made, and which, like life, will he what we make it. The history of the past is over, and it gives us now no chance to show our appreciation to our instructors, to those who have helped us with guidance and encouragement, and to our Alma Mater. The opportunity to profit by kind advice, to repay those who gave it by following it, and to prove our gratitude, all lies in the future. And when our future has become past, may its history be even more spotless, and even richer in success and in all things that arc most worth while in life, than is the history of the past of the class of June, '16. today. The Class Prophecy '1 0 FORECAST the future to you, I guess I may just as well employ the medium of dreams as any other method, both because you can t hold me strictly accountable tor anything I say or sec in dreams and because dreams are the traditional paths by which famous prophets of the ancients are reported to have unraveled the secrets of the future. I merely recount this dream, leaving to your own choice the interpretation. I rather imagine that 1 can trace the dream to its origin and although this may decrease its value in your eyes as a means of piercing the future. I myself, nevertheless, look upon it as a most significant communication. I will not delay any longer speculating as to the whys and wherefores” but will start with the narration. The Sunday night following Easter Vacation 1 stayed up late doing my work for Monday. My Virgil was unusually troublesome ami I had to make up a couple of days' work in this subject, where it tells about Aeneas wandering amongst the shades in Hades. When I had finished, I rashly took a volume of Poe to bed with me and read some blood-curdling rales of the super-natural before I went to sleep. The first sensation in my sleep was one of a hopeless lightness: of sailing around in the ethereal regions. Then someone hit me over the head with a pipe wrench. I started to wake up but I turned and saw Aaron Stein, wrench in hand, grinning at me through a high picket fence of bronze. I moved away from the fence and looked around. I seemed to he at the portals of Elysium, near the gate where St. Peter stood, very grave and solemn. Around the gate was a bronze fence keeping hack a great crowd of spirits. After an impressive silence, during which all the spirits kept shifting from one foot to the other in an uneasy and most provoking manner, St. Peter spoke to the crowd. “Get thee gone, most greedy and rapacious plumbers, and then to me, “God save you. Signor Svkcs. Pray come forward. 1 stepped up to him and not knowing what to do. for he seemed to have forgotten me entirely, 1 handed him my card. He looked at it, turned red. gave a low whistle and with a hop clean over the high gates, disappeared in a cloud of «lust. “Hey, you! somebody called in a confidential tone. 1 looked around and saw Jerome Rosenberg arm in arm with Rosalie Robins our in the crowd. He started to say something to me when the shade of Hen Savage, who had been pulling a little gold ball oft of one of the pickets, hurled the missile at me. I ducked and took refuge behind St. Peters desk. Ibis was a brilliant move for there lay' his record book which he had left behind him in his haste. I glanced slyly into it and then a Peter was nowhere in sight I made bold to open it. On the page of new arrivals I saw these reports: Laurence Zeevcld, Engineer. Passed by the National Hoard of Censorship, but not admitted because lie refused to tip the gate-kccpcr. Said it was against his principles. «i Helen Milby. Failed to qualify but admitted on policy. (We must make Elysium as attractive as possible.) Grace Hartman. Married an English Count and founded the “Married Women’s Liberty League.” Admitted nevertheless for the same reason as preceding. Louis Reynolds. Let in by mistake. Professed to be president but afterwards found out to be a clubman. Alanson Davis, Revivalist. Valuable addition. Admitted free of charge. All this was so interesting that St. Peter was nearly upon me before I saw him. He had assumed a very business-like air that was ill-fitted to his flowing robe and flapping slippers, and took a scat behind the desk that I had just vacated. “Secretary Shaft” he said, “has considered your credentials. You will be admitted upon asking me three questions.'' This condition seemed easy enough. I began with the question most interesting to me just then. “What happens to me next? He frowned and replied. “The question is impertinent. I tried again with a little more consideration of my question this time. “Which ten girls in my class did the most good in the world? At this he turned pale, grew visibly smaller and hid behind the desk. Finally he poked his head out again and looked cautiously around. “Go ahead,” I suggested encouragingly. He drew a deep breath, shut his eyes and rattled out in a thin, shake) voice. “Sutherland. Vogelsang. Wilson, Cohen, Coleman, Davis, (lohlblatt, Graeper, Gordon, Hert Thistlethwui-----. He stopped right in the middle of a word, looking with bulging eves at a huge apparition which had risen before him. By a gesture it ordered him to go ahead. As soon as he got control of his voice he blurted out, “Weed. Sutherland, Weed!, Weed!, Weed!, ogelsnng, Wilson. Weed! 1 he ghost nodded its acquies- ence and opening the gate hid me enter. I felt that I ought to say something tor it was uncomfortably quiet so I ventured to ask. “Why didn’t you let ‘Zee’ in. too. .Emily? Getting no answer I turned around and slie had vanished. I felt relieved, my hair again lay down in its accustomed position and I walked forward along a high ridge. On one side were the fields of the mournful, mi they are called, where were those who had not worked hard enough on earth. Here I saw Herbert Wolff. Homer Braunschweig and Milton Schccley taking turns at driving a huge spike with a little tack hammer. They appeared to be deeply interested in the work, too. On the other side was an amphitheatre of the Greek tvpc. Here in a chorus on the stage were the cherubims, Gladys Gay, Doris Kahn'. Bertha Kannewischer. Ruth Rowland. Allen Reed and Howard McWade, singing selections from the modern classics such as French’s. “Hearts A’twain” and Francis Gray’s. “Harmonics.” At one side Cccilc Mills was playing an instrument which, except in its tone, was m all respects like a violin. Chained to the scats sat those who had sneered at the Drama League and made frequent visits to the “Vic” school afternoons. Sonic of them who seemed most willing to leave were Charles Lee, Julian Oppenhcimer, Alfred Otto and Roland Reitz. Morse and McCracken even called to me hut I could hear enough from the ridge to make me quicken my step. Arriving at a gate which would not open, 1 crawled under it into the habitation of those admitted for the deeds they had not done. Karl Krcag, renowned for not losing his temper advanced toward me. holding it in his hand. He tapped me on the head and asked me to stand up. I tried to. hut could not. Whereupon Karl laughed and walked away. I asked Katharyn Salter, who was standing near by, how she happened to be there. For not acting in the “Movies,” she replied in a tone showing her surprise at my even addressing her. But 1 did not see why I should not. so I asked if there was anybody there whom 1 knew. “Know she exclaimed, “Well, I guess this is impertinence. How do you expect me to know if you know them, if you don’t know yourself.''” I tried to explain my meaning but she was talking so fast I could not get a word in edgeways. ‘I don t suppose you know whether you know Van De Carr or not. do you? Then there’s Sullivan, Kominski. Levin, Warrant, Kerbs, Marshall, Lazerson. Porter. DeWitt, Farrell; people so famous that even my lap-dog knows them. As she turned away contemptuously, I heard a half suppressed laugh behind me. I turned and saw Alice Crenelle looking through the gate. “Come on out,” she said and I crawled under the gate. At first I didn’t see her but when I stood up 1 realized that what I saw was only her head. Cold chills chased up and down my back and my hair stood on end like the quills of a fretful porcupine. My knees shook and I could not even run. Alice smiled and asked in a perfectly serene voice, “What are you staring at, you look so amazed.” Not to be rude, for I know she could not help it if she were only her head, I told a white lie and indicated a group of ten or twelve spirits who as they passed, frisked about as frolicsome and sprightly as lambs in the springtime. Oh.” she laughed, “those are the school teachers. You know them; Jean MacMillan. Marion Ratclitfe, Evelyn Sablowsky, Lavina Stoeber, Mildred Pfeiffer. Cora Fladd. Ruth Ross. Marie Wagner and Ruth Gloor. They act this way every day at this time because they think that school has just let out. 1 his fellow over here with a lug head and glasses; that’s Oinsburgli. He has changed, has he not? He used to be a college professor in Greek. Those two eating the red things that look like books are Alta Howard and Libby Simons, they wrote a Latin Grammar together. I am now going to watch Grover paint a picture of the Yanowitch-Bcrlove championship fight. You can come if you wish.” When we had gone a little way we met the shades of Dalton and Cominsky. They were on their way to the Regions of Silence where they had t � spend an hour every day because they had been political speakers on Earth. On one side of the path there was a pen in which three spirits were walking about with curious stones shaped like picture hats, strapped over one ear. Alice said that these were Hazel Dockstader, Grace Srcnco and Irene Kelley, who had been fashion models. We walked ahead without meeting anyone until wc came to another gate. Eleanor Bcilby stood on one side of it and Mary Cameron on the other holding two o.i long poles over it. They smiled at Alice as she walked through but they scowled at me and shook their poles so threateningly that I was afraid they might drop them on mv head as I passed through. So 1 ran down and started to jump the fence. But just then Sarah came around the corner with four others, Marion Eisenbrcy, Winonah Fellows. Elma Bomkessel and Elsie Hughes, all in long gingham aprons. She was on her way to the Abode of All Good Poets, taking the others along with her to show them the sights. She would not hear of my jumping over the fence and told me that O’Reilly, the celestial janitor would he along in a minute with a ladder. 1 sat down on a stone to wait and was getting restless when a big white rabbit came hurrying along, leaping over the stones and bushes. It stopped in front of me and began to wiggle and twist its nose in a most annoying manner. I was ready for most anything but I was startled when the rabbit spoke. “Why don’t you say. ‘Hello?' I am Don Mason.' “I suppose that fish there in the pond then is Don McChesney, I answered trying to he funny. “It i ,” quoth the rabbit angrily; then fiercely indeed, “What arc you snickering at?” The rabbit seemed to grow big as rapidly as hie became angry, so I unceremoniously leapt the fence and ran off at top speed. After 1 had run tor seemingly ages 1 came upon Minnie Vcising, Herb Childs and Knox Cooper carrying a big stack of the “Hades Gazette.” You seem to be in an awful rush for your paper,” Childs said pertly and handed me a copy. It was a most conglomerate mass of English. German, Latin and French. All I could make out was Kaiser’s name in the headlines and that most of it seemed to be about him. However that did not shed much light on the subject for I knew that he might be doing anything from being a new arrival to starting a revolution. Next I ran into Lowry who wanted to sell me a hockey tag. The argument that I had no money did not earn any weight, so 1 finally bought one, handing him my watch in exchange. Then he became real friendly and told me to go straight ahead until I heard Cecil Hert s voice if I wanted to sec some fun. Many spirits hurriedly passed me until I became infected and hurried along with them. Emily Oemisch going in the other direction accompanied by Brooks, came up and asked me in a hopeful tone whether 1 had seen Louis. “Nope,” said Brooks before I had time to speak and then they passed on. I thought it was strange and asked Hughes and Levi who were passing by, to explain it to me. but they paid no attention. finally I came to the mound whither all the crowd was rushing. It was strewn w itil cactus plants among which Lorraine Abcrt and Ed Bowen were dancing, bare- footed. The crowd was immensely pleased every time they stepped on a spine, clap- ping their hands and throwing their caps into the air; those that had caps, and the others stamping their feet. little while Elsie Burnham came around trying to get signatures on a In a petition. We demand shorter hours for the Celestial Office Staff,” it read, and had the following signat tires: leal, Kahn. Ll.zabeth Komis ,-. Katharine O'Rorlce, Florence Res'er, Esther Kothsclnld. hoi Utkuwitz. Ethel Watts. I.aura Clark and Olive Uc Kidder. 1 thought it was a good cause so I signed it. «4 1 hen as the dance was rather bo resume I got up and left. Darkness was falling and as I hurried on to find a place to spend the night it grew noticeably colder. I hadn’t noticed it before, but I was dressed in one of those Roman State togas which, however picturesque, certainly did not keep the cold out. I was mighty glad when I saw Rcmic Wood and Alex Blanton approaching through the dusk. Each was clad in a huge fur coat and carried a pail of water. “Hello.” Alex called out. “Haven’t you any sense, why don't you put on your coat?” ‘I have not got one and I am awfully cold.” I replied. “Ho! Ho!,” shouted Remie, “you want to get warm do you? Come on, Alex!” and with that they drenched me with the icy water anti began to laugh at my discom- fiture. It did not seem so funny to me. however, for I grahbed one of the pails and swung at Alex’s head. But I swung with such vim and willingness that 1 woke up to find the pail turned into an alarm clock. I have recounted this faithfully in just the way it befell me. In regard to its importance, let me say that I consider it very significant and in most respects more than a dream, for 1 still bear the marks of the pipe-wrench. Wadsworth C.

Brooks Presentation oi Memorial CO Albert H. Wilcox Honorary President The Students’ Association Roy E. Davey Faculty Treasurer As if in reaction to the radical changes made in the Constitution last year, the whole work of this year’s Executive Council has been distinctly conservative. 1 he sentiment and discussion both in the Council and Students’ Association meetings favored rigid enforcement of the present laws rather than trials of new ones. 1 here was only one important amendment to the Constitution during the year. The equipment resolution, which was unanimously adopted last year after a conference with a committee from West High, proved to be a failure. A new resolution, framed by a body consisting of the Chairman of the Athletics Committee, the Equipment .Manager, the Faculty Treasurer, and the managers of all the teams, was substituted by the Council for the one of last year. The new act states that the members ot the basketball and track teams should be given their suits at the ends of their respective seasons, those of the soccer and baseball teams should be given jerseys. The motion passed last year raising the standard of the insignia has, however, practically turned the authority for awarding letters from tlie Constitution to the judgment of those in charge of the teams. The amendment made to the Constitution was the one recognizing Swimming as a minor sport. It was unanimously carried. The most important event of the school year was the campaign for an athletic field. Begun by the Clarion, the cry, “Change Armory Bark, alias Neglected Bark to East High Athletic Field,'' was quickly taken up by the students. A mass meeting, red-hot with spirit yet carried on in an orderly manner, was held. The girls as well as the boys got into the discussion and it was determined to take definite action to secure an athletic field for the school. About three thousand letters were sent to the Mayor, and the members of the Common Council. Finally the Common Council, at a meeting attended b about three hundred students and parents, decided that because of an agreement between the State and the City, it was impossible to make an athletic field of Armory Bark. A committee of the Common Council was appointed, however, to get tor the East Side an athletic field which could also be used by East High.

'.A The Debating Season The past interscholastic debating season began somewhat earlier for East High than that of former years, the fir t debate against Central High of Syracuse, coming before the Christmas recess. Notwithstanding the unusually early time, the members of the class in public speaking conducted by Mr. Kenyon worked hard upon the question, and from its members the team was chosen. The defeat met with at Syracuse only served to arouse greater determination to win the contest with Lafayette High School of Buffalo which came some two months later. T his debate was one of a series on the same question: Lafayette and West High debating each other and East High. Lafayette won both and West High lost both of its contests. East High lost her first debate with the Buffalo school, and then finali'. triumphed in the last, the one arousing the greatest rivalry, that with West High School. The victory in the Amherst Cup Debate means that this trophy remains in East High for the third successive year and puts a fitting and happy end to the debating year. Mr. Kenyon gave a great deal of time and effort in preparing the teams and to him must go a gicat part of the credit for the ability they have shown. T he interclass debates this year showed somewhat of a decrease in interest at first, but were final Iv carried to a successful conclusion. 1 lu final debate was that between June 1918 and June 191b. the former class winning and thus gaining the championship of the school. •' LjLm' jPI Syracuse Interscholastic Debate December 3, 1915, at Syracuse With Central High School of Syracuse Question Resolved: That the short ballot as outlined in the Constitutional Revision ot 1915 would have secured lor New York State u more efficient and more responsible form ot government than that now in force.

The best of soloists in the city sing before and are appreciated by the school. i he Girls’ filer Club, the Boys Glee Club, the Junior Glee Club, and the Orchestra have all grown in the past two years from small groups to large flourishing organizations. East High School students are realizing the pleasure and profit gained from ringing and playing together. During the past year. the Orchestra, under the leadership «� t Ludwig Schenck, held regular weekly practices at which the entire body was always present. I hey have learned to plat some excellent selections in perfect sty le. I heir concert in tire Assembly was enjoyed by all. The new director of the Glee Clubs.

Chapters in each of various high schools compose the federation, the object of which is to stimulate and encourage the study of the ancient Greek language, histon- and literature among Greek pupils. The East High Chapter of Agora has. during the past year tarried on. among other activities, a study of Greek Architecture. This was done in two ways; first bj lectures on the history and development of tin- phase of Greek Art, and second by observing and photographing examples ot the Greek style in our present day architecture. There have also been talks on (irrrk science and literature. The administration ot the chapter in this school has been earned on by a body called the Boule'or Council. Its members are elected by the Greek classes the choke being made on the basis of high ■scholarship in Greek and general executive ability. The officers of the chapter arc members of the Boule ex-officio. I his bod corresponds to the Boule in the government ot the ancienr Greek states. As faculty advisor, Miss Stoncburg has worked unceasingly tor the interests of the Agora, and to her efforts is due a great part ot the success ot tl i ' enterprise. «3 Council of Commerce Club 1 he Commerce Club Executive Committee tlonorary I result nt President I icc-Presidi nt Secretary T reasurer A Ik.

Its first year has been a very successful one. and there is, without doubt, a very bright future in store for it. The Club aims, not onl) to benefit its members by making their school work more interesting, but also to permanently benefit East High. The Book Exchange is now firmly established and has already proven its worth. As time goes on it will be able to render even better service to East High's students. The success of the Club in its first year's work is due in large part to the interest which the Commercial teachers have shown in it, and to the assistance which they have given in establishing it on a firm basis. v New Organizations lx the past semester there have been organized several new activities which have not, ns et, fully established their place among the other organizations of the school. However, mention of them is here given, as their future shows possibilities. The French Club 'I'me French Club, which once was a very flourishing organization in the school, has recently been reorganized. It has adopted the name. La Rcpublique Francaisc, has created a chamber of deputies, which will control its acti itics. and is rapidly approaching its former position in the school. Sara Burton is the president of this enterprising club. The Boxing Club A group of boys in the school recently organized a boxing duh which now is conducting regular practice. Elmer Hoefflc is the president of this prize-fighters’ association. The Cadet Corps 1 lie whole manhood of the United States is enlisting in organizations which have for their object the training and drilling of men for war. The boys of East High School are not behind the other men of the country, but arc up with them, for they have organized and are supporting an unusually successful cadet corps. Regular weekly drills are held in the New York State Armory under state regulations and instructors. Captain James Fowlc and first lieutenant Donald McChesney arc the chief promoters ot this organization, which aims to promote accuracx and bodily development. BEFORE the War it was planned to have a world-wide celebration ot the terccntinarv of the birth of William Shakespeare, the centre ot the celebration to be at Stratford-on-Avon. The War, however, prevented this but the United States took up the plan and all over the country, special attention is being given to his works. East High School took a very active part in this celebration and as it, share has presented two of his plays besides taking part in the Great Pageant. The Faculty has presented “Twelfth Night” and the Senior Classes. “The Taming of the Shrew. Scenes from “King Henry I and King Henry Vlll,” The Merchant of Venice” “MacBeth. Julius Caesar,” Romeo and Juliet,” Midsummer Night's Dream. “Mud. Ado about Nothing, The Tempest” and A Winter’s Talc” have been presented by several of the English classes. 1 7 Shmor Farce Cast 1 lie Senior Farce “EnGAGKD BV WEDNESDAY Presented by the Senior Classes December, the tenth. 1915 I nder tin dirt it ion of Miss KaTHERINE Bl RNS Cast of Characters Martin Henry, riu laziest man in thi country Arthur Watson .....

The students first set their eves on Armory Park, for it is situated most favorably and is nut used to any extent. In the campaign for this field, under the supervision of a committee consisting of Max Schwartz, chairman; Cora Sutherland, Florence Newell, Guy Harris and Donald V. Mason, over two thousand letters were mailed to city officials asking that this field be opened to East High students. Besides, about three hundred loyal students turned out to a meeting of the Common Council where ir was made known that because of certain agreements with the state, Armory Park could not be turned over to the students. A committee was appointed to imestigate the need cit an East side athletic field at this meeting. This committee, as this hook goes to press, is preparing to report favorably, and to recommend that a committee be appointed to purchase a site for an extensive field on the East side. lot R Wearers R T ruck M .

East H iuli Spirit which was so prominent in the hield Campaign, lias shown itselt strong throughout the past season. It has sent a so-cer team through a most successful season: has supported a winning basketball team, a hockey team wirhnui a defeat scored against it. an indoor track team which lived up to its predecessors, a swimming tram, which is rapidly making irsrlf famous, and is sending the baseball and track teams through a season of victories. I he soccer team under the captaincy of Donald R. Mason and the management of Louis Reynolds was backed and played like the teams ot the days of rugby football. It recorded many wins for the Purple and White. The Basketball Team next upheld tin orient athletic supremacy', when under the leadership of Btrieve and Kreag it ended it- season with twelve victories in its favor. The indoor track team, guided by Sutherland and Farrcl tied for first place in the annual University ot Rochester Meet. The outdoor track team under the guidance of the same two promise to complete a season of wins. The baseball team, guided by Schwartz and (iilbert, is one of the best which has ever represented East High and is determined not only to take the city title but to finish a season of no losses, file school is behind this pennant winner. Not only in the major sports hut ul$o in the minor ones has the )rient proved itself supreme. The hockey and swimming teams have come out ahead of their opponents. The season on the tennis courts, too. promises to hr a successful one. Athletic enthusiasm has shown its results in victorious teams. The greater interest aroused in them by the hope of a good field for the fall term should also show its results. 107 10« IfasKbT Ball Team Basket Ball Karl Kreac .1 lanager The Team Aaron Stein, forward Robert Butler, guard Ira Berlove. center Norman Levin, guard Henry Salmon, forward Ira Berlovl Captain Arthur Goloenson, guard Elmer Hewitt, guard John Gilbert, forward The Season s Record East High 20 East High 25 East H igh 15 East H igh IS East High 41 East High 33 East High 57 East High 58 East High 28 East High 29 East H igh 9 East High 44 East High 15 East H igli 24 East High 33 Total.

Both relays were won by East High, gaining for the school the Championship Title, a trophy cup and several medals. Many new activities have sprung up during the last year, but none have become so permanently established as has Swimming. For two years past there has been a swimming team representing East High School, but it was not until the opening of school last fall that Swimming was recognized by the Students' Association as a minor sport. Since its recognition the Swimming Team lias become a title winner for East High, and has clearly demonstrated that it is deserving of the support given it by the school. Under the guidance of Don. McChesney, the human fish, and Oscar Dieser, the orator, the team won a fine cup. which is now doing its share to crow d the trophy case, in a close series with Hutchinson High of Buffalo. Cheering Max Schwartz Guv Harris Every one in school has felt that there has been something pervading the Old Place this car which was never here in the same way before. They have sensed the East High Spirit which has sprung up stronger this year than ever before, which sent all the Orient teams to victory and made the City Fathers promise a commodious playground for the East Side. Perhaps it was the inauguration of school “sings, resulting not only in learning and feeling the tlirill of the good old East High songs, but also in the closer fellow- ship coming from singing together, that created this stronger spirit. It is certain, however, that the development of school cheering under the leaders, Max Schwartz and Guy Harris was one of the strongest factors in rousing this Purple and White Spirit. The East High cheering this year has not only been far superior to that of previous years but has been put to use and been ready for use at all times. The Assembly Hall has rung with rythmical shouts at every gathering, every team has been goaded on to victory by its never-failing support. It has even made the hairs on the photographed heads of the former mayors of Rochester, hung in the Common Council chamber, stand on end. The better cheering is the work of Max Schwartz who did his best to bring it up to its present point. Guy Harris has taken up Max’s work. Here’s to Max, our successful cheer-leader!

It‘s the most beautiful car of the year,—we admit it. Of course there's no need to prove it. because you can casilv see for yourself. But of course, there are other good-looking cars. Look at the Tonneau Cowl. Any other than the Chandler type of Tonneau Cowl body will be old- fashioned and out of date, within six months. Oh, yes. Other cars have the Tonneau Cowl. But there’s only one Chandler Motor! It has been proven right by three years use; unchanged all that time, it is free from any hint of experimentation. It’s an absolutely known quantity, and known to be the best “light six” engine made. And then, when you've made up your mind, we'll fill the tank and you can drive your car away, at once.

This is the time and meeting ot “The High School Life Club. The past season, which was recently closed by a banquet, given in the new Y. M. C. A. building, was somewhat broken up by the wait between the evacuation of the old Y. M. C. A. building and the entrance into the new one, hut nevertheless was a very successful one. James A. Moore (“Jimmy ), of the Rochester rheological Seminary, lead in a discussion on Fosdick's “‘The Manhood of the Master and Charles A. Hartman, assistant physical director of the V. M. C. A., conducted a course entitled “The Rules of the Game,' or “The Prerequisites of Good Health. Dr. Welch gave some instructive supplementary talks to this course. The fellows had some fun, too. They held a highly successful Hallowe’en party and a very enjoyable Sleigh-Ride. Besides there were several Stags during the year. The coming season of the Life Club, with the facilities afforded in the new M. C. A. building, might to prove itself to lie the greatest factor in the life of high school boys of Rochester for the development of clean, healthy and manly men. «VI Monroe I ypewri rer Exchange Company 73 South Avenue Stone 5535 REBUILT TYPEWRITERS RENTING REPAIRING Special Rates to Students THE SPORTSM EN’S and AUTO I STS’ SHOP Eventhing tor the Sportsman AND Everything for the Automobile CH A PI N - OWEN CO.

South Special Discounts to Graduates After School! 'Tis afternoon; the sinking sun, Illumes the halls, so still and hare. A calm has come o'er old East High. And silence reigneth ev’rywhcre. The rmpty rooms such quiet hold. As tills the regions of the dead,— An awful lull, as though a troop Of ghosts were marching Overhead. But. suddenly, the silence breaks. A mystic sound falls on the air. It came;—it went:—from source unknown.— For all is quiet, here—and—there. The hour’s not late enough for ghosts,— The fairies—it can never be. So something must be happening. Behind the scenes, in Twenty-three. Screams greet ns as we opr the door, The chalk is Hying thick and fast. We dodge a shower of books, each one. A deadlier weapon than the last. To music made by squeaky combs. Two jollv maids one-step around, Three more, their jaws with taffy glued. In laughing agony are found. Phis is the ft'mult study room, What arc those rude hoys doing here? One’s perched upon Miss Schvvendler’s desk, He’s going to rumble off, I fear. “What, can this be a snowball light? — Ouch!—I just got one on tm ear, I really think This much too tame. Come on, let’s get away from here. Epilogue Don’t blame the girls of Twenty-three. For Seniors have to have some fun, And they're quite harmless, honesti) .
