Unlike the graduating classes of the other schools, vve have no traditions to guide us, no standards to follow:— rather it is for us to set a standard worthy of our Alma Mater. In this volume we set forth our modest achievements, hoping that succeeding classes may recall our earnest efforts with some degree of pride. The Fxct i:n J. W. Ray, Principal Brockway, C.

Charles Sprowl, Edgar Wade Sales Manager....................................................Edward Hinckley Twelve Anderson, Carl Edward Printers’ Trade Course. 2, 3; Carl has had very little time for activities. His concern along that phase of school life is summed up by Byron's words: “Among them, but not of them.’’ He has done very excellent work in the printers’ trade class. Like many students Carl has not decided upon his life work. Becker, Alberta Henrietta Glee Club 1; Mandolin Club 3; A meek little miss is Alberta, but who said she was never ready for fun? At geometry she is a “shark” and blesses a class of boys with her presence through the intrigues of “solid.” She is planning to be someone’s capable “stenog.” We are sure she will succeed, for to fail is not in her line. Brady, Charles John Boys’ Club, 3; Tennis Club, 3; Glee Club, 2; Tennis has only recently been Charles’ sole interest in East High athletics. Brady has been most willing in transporting our athletic teams. Charles, as rumors state, is deeply interested in electricity. In fact he expects to take an electrical engineering course at the famous Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “Chuck” work hard! Brennan, Marie Dorothy Glee Club 1, 3; Quaint? Quiet? Yes, both. She is both quiet and quaint. She has been a staunch supporter of all activities. Marie may be classified as one of those who defy defeat, always having a cheery word when things look blackest. Her encouragement and help will be greatly misses when she leaves. Burke, John Joseph Debating 3; Valedictorian Behold the perfect student! The pride and joy of all his teachers! John didn’t go in much for activities, but when it comes to studies this young lad takes the leading place. He intends to make a name for himself in the literary world. Page fifteen Burns, John Mandolin Club 3; Due to the fact that “slow, but sure” seems to be John’s motto, he can be depended upon to finish successfully any task which is allotted to him. In his care things are handled with the steadiness and sureness that mark cfiiciency. Cage, Ethiielda Bernice Glee Club 2, 3; Piper 4; “Better late than never” seems to be Ethel da’s motto. This happy-go-lucky maiden didn’t go in very extensively for activities during her first three years, but made up for everything in her Senior year. Ethelda has a great deal of dramatic ability which she displayed very effectively in our school play. Calabrese, Erma Marie Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3, 4; Dramatic Club 3; Erma is one of our star forwards in basketball. Her ability as an actress has also been proved by the plays she has helped to “put over”. She is hoping to continue her musical training at Oberlin or Carnegie Tech. Chandler, Mary Doris Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; President Girls’ Club 1; Sunrise Staff 4; “Now from head to foot I am marble-constant.” Any one in need, turns to Doris, for she is ever willing to lend a helping hand. In a few years, Doris will b leading ome fortunate children through the intricacies of spelling and arithmetic. Clough, Ruthann Champion Gle Club 2; Oratorical Club 3; Ruthann is our shy little senior who has always a smile for every one. All who know her, heartily wish her success in whatever she takes up. Page sixteen Condky, Josephine Commercial Class Graduate; Was ever anyone who sought friendship from Josephine disappointed? Never! She is friend to all, foe to none. Ii ing quiet and reserved, she did not greatly indulge in any particular activity but supported all. We predict she will make someone a valuable private secretary. Cross, James Harrington Orchestra 2, 3, 4; Sunrise 2, 3, 4; Swimming 2; Mgr. Swimming Team 4; Tennis 2, 3, 4; Captain Tennis Team 4; Jim has been a hearty supporter of activities during his high school course, havinng acted in tne role of athlete and musician as well as journalist. He intends to continue his school life at Penn State next fall. Damcott, Victor Basketball 3; Engineer’s Club 3; Victor came to us from Clymer, Pa., for the third and fourth years of his high school life. “Hutch” has plenty of what we call “class spirit” and is an enthusiastic supporter of all school athletics. Deigan, Celesta Miriam East High acquired a new member in demure Celesta. As she is a newcomer she has not had time to enter into many activities. Her charming and modest manner, however, nave gained for her many friends during her brief stay at our Alma Mater. Duell, William Football 3, 4; The hearts of men are their books; events are their tutor's; great actions are their eloquence. Page seventeen Eddy, Haven Baseball 4; His life was gentle, and the elements Sd mixed in him that Nature might stand up, And say to all the world, This was a man! Eldred, Edith Glee Club, 2, 3, 4; To see her is to love her, And love but her forever; For nature made her what she is, And never made another! Em ling, Leo Charles Debating Club, 4; Stamp Club, 4; Debating Team, 4. Leo is a newcomer at East High. He hails from St. Mary’s. At his studies Leo proves a most conscientious student. He is the secretary of the Stamp Club which is one of our latest school activities. Among East High’s enthusiastic debators Leo has found his place. Ending as yet has no definite life work in mind. Forsburg, William Josta Science Club,3. William has had hard work getting through his course. Bill said that he was undecided as to his life work. However, Bill is interested in drawing. In view of your past trials, Bill, permit us to say that you will make your mark in the world is you keep up according to past performances. Hit the line hard and low, Bill. Foksman, Ralph Edward Art Club 3; Sunrise 3, 4; Track 3, 4; Science Club, 3; Man is his own star, and the soul that can Render an honest and a perfect man, Commands all light. Page eighteen Freeborne, John Football 2,3; Student Council 2; Class President 4; Resides being one of the main-stays on the football team, during his high school course John successfully filled the sacred office of class president in his senior year. Recently the girls voted “lil” Johnny the champion teaser of the school. Frutchey, George Edgar Rasketball 4; Frutchey is a quiet unassuming chap, who displays a jovial nature. At basketball George proves clever and accurate in his shooting. His weight and physique have kept him from making the varsity. George does not intend to go to college. Guyer, Kenneth Thomas Basketball Manager 3, 4; What could we do without his sunshiny smiles and grouchy disposition? Kenneth ought to be successful in ushering some pretty young lady to the altar because he has ushered so many to seats in the movies. We expect Guyer to achieve great success in business, as he has shown his qualities along this line by successfully managing our basketbali team for two years. Hain, Isabel Elizabeth Basketball 2, 3; Dramatic 3; Piper 4; Bob White 3; Isabel’s beautiful voice and dramatic ability have made her one of the shining stars of the Senior class. She is also one of the basketball players on East High’s girls’ team. “Jssy” intends to take up nursing next fall. Henning, Hildegarde Marie Glee Club 1; Mandolin Club 3; Modesty is to merit, what shade is to figures in a picture; it gives strength and makes it stand out. Page nineteen Hinckley, Edward Aloisius Football 2, 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Track 3, 4; “On with the dance! Let joy be unconfined. No sleep till morn, when youth and pleasure meet.” Eddie is our all round man and—did you say dance? He makes a “perfect lover,” as we all discovered in “The Piper.” His initiative, pep and personality have made him known from hall to hall. Interieri, Peter Edward Orchestra, 1, 2, 3, 4; Football Team, 2, 3, 4; Band, 3, 4; Among our musicians in the school “Pete” ranks foremost as a clarinetist. On the gridiron Interieri is known for his grit which has carried him through many a contest. The field of pharmacy hath its charms for Pete. He has selected the University of Pittsburgh to carry on his studies. Keep up the grit, Pete. Ittel, Frances Virginia Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; “Still water runs deep” seems to fit Frances. A good record in her subjects seems to back up this statement.. Although she has not taken an active part in school activities, she has lent a helping hand in boosting them, showing her school spirit. Her future course i still unknown. James, Vincent Franklin Bob White 3; Piper 4; Swimming 3, 4; Orchestra 3, 4; Mandolin Club 4; Dramatic 3, 4; When it comes to swimming, track and fiddling, Vincent certainly is there. He is an enthusiastic lover of sports, and has broken more records (not to say anything about hearts) than any boy in school. Vincent intends to be a' lawyer. Karney, Kenneth Oh, seme seek bread—no more—life’s mere subsistence, And some seek wealth and ease—the common quest; And some seek fame, that hovers in the distance But all are seeking rest. rage tivcnty Kinter, Mary Margaret Pentagon 4; Boomer Staff 3; Glee Club 28; Here is one of our retiring students. Sh is a faithful worker and is sure to make a success in her life work, which, she tells us, is to be nursing. Methinks a certain football player will be getting hurt more often in order to make frequent visits to the hospital. Laing, William Harold Orchestra 3, 4; Harold decided to come from Central to join our ranks in his Junior year. He was a valuable addition to our orchestra, being a talented musician. Besides playing the violin and xylophone, he has also accompished the act of playing the piano with his nose. Harold will always have friends because of his amiability. Locke, Violet Debating, 3; Glee Club, 1, 2. Violet is going to the University of Michigan to take up law. We hope that when she is admitted to the Bar, her clients will say that “the best counsel is that of a woman.” Although Violet appears to be very quiet, she is always ready for a good time. We all wish success to her, the only girl of our class who is taking up this worthy work. Mac Pherson, Charlotte Grant Pentagon 4; Sunrise 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3: Dramatic 3; For originality and cleverness in writing there is no one ahead of our “Chucky”. She has made a very enviable name for hoi self in the literary pursuits of our school. Let it not be thought, however, that Charlotte's star has only one point. She is a very good all-round student and is a decided credit to East High Manly, Helen Sunrise Staff 1, 2; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; When greater perils men environ, Then women show a front of iron And gentle in their manner, they Do bold things in a qu?et way. Page twenty-one Meeker, Harold Ellsworth Football Manager, 4; Basketball, 3; Class Treasurer, 4. Harold belongs to our class of silent workers. He has given his body and soul to managing our football team. “Always considerate of others, that’s Squeak all around” say the boys. Harold hears the business world calling to him. He will surely miss you, Squeak, when you leave us. Don’t forget the Mexican athletes. Mecier, Zita Olive Zita is another member of the quiet and unassuming class. She is, however, willing to undertake any work placed before her. In her course of study, commercial subjects have had a prominent part. In fact, Zita has decided to enter the business life. Murray, Mary Ethel Library Club 3; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; IA and behold! You gaze upon an artist of no mean note. Judging from the prizes Mary has won in art contnests we would say she was on the road to fame. She certainly has done her bit in contributing posters to our activities. It will not surprise us to see Mary’s name on future works of art. Moore, Thomas Antony Track 34; Football 34; Class Secy., 34; Baseball Mgr. 3; !‘Great talkers are never great doers.” This quotation of Middleton’s fits Tommy perfectly, for he certainly is a great “doer” in the athletic line. Tommy, with a fight to the finish spirit on the gridiron, a fierce determination to out-run everyone on the track, forever practicing the virtue of modesty, has rightfully won a place among sportsmen. The heartiest of wishes go with Tom, for he has done a great deal for East High. Nagle, Ma Dora Kathleen Dramatic Club 3; Sunrise 3; Piper 4; Glee Club 23; Student Council 3; “As the bright sun glorifies the sky So is her face illuminated with her eye.” Ma Dora’s dramatic ability, effectively displayed in the Piper, brought considerable renown, both to this dusky-haired maiden and to her Alma Mater. She is planning on a business career. Page twenty-two 5 ' i ■ Pelow, Margaret Marie Sunrise 1, 2, 3, 4; Dramatic 3; Student Council 2; Glee Club 2, 3; As the saying goes, Margaret “is one of a hundred. She has the highest general average of the girls of the senior class and accordingly the greai honor of speaking at commencement has been allotted to her. Along the oratorical and literary lines Margaret’s work has been especially distinguished, for it was she who won for East High its first Burns’ oratorical prize. The school is proud of its foremost pupil and will greatly miss her. Poeiilman, Minnie Luella Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; “Laugh and grow fat.’’ Minnie laughed and is still laughing. Trouble and care dare not molest this broadcaster of good cheer. However, when it comes to seriousness in perform ing tasks, Minnie is always ready to lend a helping hand. She has gained considerable renown through her singing. Prior, Helene Wilhelmina Student Council 3, 4; Pentagon Staff 4; Girl’s Basketball 1, 3, 4; Glee Club 2,3,4; Old friends are the best friends The friends that are tried and true When others pass you onward You’ll find they’ll stick to you. Renner, Marcella Mandolin Club 3; Marcella may be quiet but you’d be surprised at the “snap she puts into shorthand and typewriting. We are told she has attained a high rate of speed. With sound judgment combined with her efficiency we are sure she will reach her mark. Renz, Doretta Bertha Who has not seen that feeling born of flame, Crimson the cheek at mention of a name? Doretta is one of the sweetest most alluring girls of our class which might well be proud to have as one of its members a girl with such a disposition. “Cookie as a basketball star cannot be surpassed. It is due to her that our team has often come home victorious. Here’s luck to our “Cookie. Page twenty-three Rosenberg, Carl Edward Business Manager Sunrise 1, 2, 3, 4; Valuable articles come in small packages.” This oh! saying holds true in this bashful young man. Being a graduate of our Printers’ Trade Course and a member of Erie’s Psychology Club shows that Cari has a wide field of interest. He has a bright future before him and we wish him the best of success. Ryder, Margaret “Her air, her manners, all who saw admired:— Courteous though coy, and gentle, though retired; The joy of youth and health her eyes displayed Annd ease of heart her every icok conveyed.” Salisbury, Helen Glee Club 2, 3; Helen has not entered into many activities during her high school life, devoting all her time to her subjects. This has made it possible for her to complete her course in three years. Her charming personality has won for her many friends. She is another whom East High is sending into the profession of nursing. Shay, Mary Alice Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 3 , 4; Sunrise Staff 1; Pentagon 4; Alice’s personality has won a way into the hearts of all who know her. Here is Alice’s slogan, “Hang sorrow! Care’ll kill a cat, and therefore let’s be merry.” She is the type of girl who is valued as a friend. Lucky, indeed is the person who gains her friendship, for she is true and loyal. Schiitte, Frank Harold Tennis 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4; Talk about Ben Turpin! Well, here is one that has Ben stopped; only his feet are always out of nlace instead of his eyes. Harold’s reputation for dancing is so universal that once the study hall teacher told him to “waltz” down io the office so he arose and did the hesitation.” ragi twenty-four Si rock, Alvin Fredrick Student Council 4; Piper 4; The Champion 4: Debating Team 4; Burns Oratorical Contest 4; Track Manager 1; Tennis Club 4 ; “Bid me discourse, I will enchant thine ear.” Alvin won the 1023 Burns’ oratorical prize—the first time this honor has come to us. Swartz, Mary Catherine Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 1; Sewing Club 2; Art Club 3; “For nothing lovelier can be found In woman, than to study household good.” Mary joined her fortunes to ours, by making her course in three years She will spend the next few years at Western Reserve. Swenson, Aldor Conrad Stamp Club, 4; Tennis Club, 4. Collecting stamps is Swede’s hobby. He is we'l versed in perforations, issues and other means of detecting false or duplicate stamps. Aldor is the president of the Stamp Club. Swede is a retiring sort of chap, who has decided to cast his lot in the commercial world. Keep a plugging, Swede, and success will be yours. SWINDLEHLRST, IONE Her modest looks the cottage might adorn. Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn. Spry. Walter Parker Sunrise 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 3, 4; Dramatic Club 3: Bob White 3: Band 3, 4; Walter is an artist of some note. Some of liis. drawings may be seen in the second volume of the Sunrise. Walt is the “uncle” of the onlv gold saxaphone in the school. His thoughts have turned toward the banking business, but, as yet, he has not definitely decided. Page twenty-five Skeel, Rosina Elbertina Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4: Three cheers for our little musician! Rosina has given much time to the orchestra during her high school course and has helped place it where it now stands. 'Of all the arts, great music is the art To raise the soul above all earthly storm.” Smith, Elsie Gertrude Oratorical Club 3; Boomer Staff 3; Elsie is a delightfully charming girl, whose pleasing ways capture many hearts. Loyal to her mother-country Elsie makes a very good Canadian. If you don’t be.ieve it, just say a word or two against John Bull when she is within hearing distance. Elsie has made a host of friends since coming to the States. Sommer, Wilhelmina Boomer 3; Pentagon 4; An assistant editor of the “Boomer” and editor of East High’s section of the Pentagon, Wilhelmina has set a business record for the girls of East High. A very pronounced dramatic talent, backed by a well developed sense of humor, however, are her distinct characteristics. Sprowl, Charles Alvaii Sunrise Staff, 3,4. Sprowl entered East High from Central in his Junior year. Sprowl is the notorious associate of Eggs Wade. Mischief is their ambition. One thing that Sprowl must be congratulated upon is his work as circulating manager of the Sunrise. He has acquitted himself with success. May you continue to do so, Sprowl in order that you may uphold a reputation for East High. Stanley, Irma Irma is one of the graduates of the noted Commercial Class. She is very quiet and demure but, “Still waters run deep,” you know’. Page twenty six Simpson, Alice Charlotte Glee Club, 1, 2, 3, 4; Oratorical Club, 3; Humor Club, 1; Did you ever see anyone keep the “Blues” around Alice? She has been writing “funny things” for the Boomer and Pentagon for two succeeding years. Alice is expecting to make Cornell or Oberlin her next Alma Mater, where she will take up a musical course. Tracy, Cecil Margaret Vice President 2; Student Council 3, 4; Basketball Mg’r. 3, 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Sunrise Staff 2, 3, 4; You know I say just what I think, And nothing more or less, And, when I pray, my heart is in my prayer I cannot say one thing and mean an-another. It is seldom that to one girl can be given the distinction of leading in three departments, but to Cecil comes this honor. In dramatics, athletics and journalism her aid has been invaluable. Trask, Mary Bavin a Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Mandolin Club 3; Heart on her lips, And soul within her eyes, Soft as her clime, And sunny as her skies. Them bley, Lillian Cecilia Commercial Class Graduate; Her bright smile and laughing eyes bring cheer into the troubles of school life. Her progress in the commercial class was steady and successful, just as we know her progress will be when she leaves East High. Truesdale, Free ling Murrey Sunrise Staff, 3; Orchestra, 2, 3, 4; Band, 3, 4; As the exchange editor of the Sunrise, Freeling has been in direct contact with schools from many states. “Critter” occupies a chair in the saxaphone section of the school orchestra and band. Pharmaceutical chemistry has also claimed “Critter”. He will take up his work at W. and J. College. Success to you, old top. Page twenty-seven Wade, Edgar Frank Sunrise Staff, 3, 4; Glee Club, 3, 4; Mandolin Club, 4; Tennis Manager, 3; Tennis Team, 3, 4; Edgar entered East High from Central during his junior year. Consider ing the time that “Eggs” has been with us his participation in the school’s activities has been most energetic. “Eggs” and his partner are noted for their monopoly in teasing the young ladies. “There’s mischief in this man.”—Shakes-pea re. Wallace. Stanley Joseph Sunrise Editor-in-chief 1, 2, 3, 4; President Student Council 3, 4; Baseball 1, 2; Basketball 4; Track 3, 4; Tennis 2. 3. 4: Dramatic Club 3: “He was a man, take him for all in all.” and he still is. A true scholar, a good sportsman, and a trustworthy friend—that’s Stan. His modesty would prompt him to denv that he is one ol the most efficient props of East High, and that he did much to accomplish our popularity. But “facts is facts!” We are sure he will distinguish himself as a lawyer after graduating from Georgetown Law School. Warfel, Louise Catherine Commercial Class Graduate; Louise is one of the most promising members of East High’s commercial department. Aside from business activities, she has been a prominent figure in girls’ basketball during the last two years. We extend to her our sincerest wishes for a successful career in the work she has chosen. Warren, Robert Cummins Class Treasurer, 2; Football Team, 3, 4; Class Vice President, 4; Track, 2; Baseball Manager, 4; Athletic, willing, ioyal, square, describes Robert Warren thoroughly. “Bob” was prominent on the athletic field because of his physique, willingness, squareness. His loyalty was conspicuous in the trying moments of the class and school. Robert will enter either Cornell or Carnegie Tech to take up mechanical engineering. Wick, James Joseph Glee Club 3; Track 3, 4; Dramatic Club 3; Staff 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 2, 3; Minstrels 3; Give me a lever long enough And a prop strong enough I can single handed move the world. % Page twenty-eight Wing, Marjorie Rosmond “She’s little anti quaint and witty too, Always cheerful and never blu .” Her ready wit and willingness to help have made her very valuable to our class. Marjie hopes to go to Allegheny College. Wirth, Martha Stella Martha may well be described by this quotation; ‘In the right place is her heart, and her hand is ready and willing.” Mart has been an excellent student while in high school and we feel and sincerely hope that she will excel in her chosen work. Wood, Margaret Ellen Rob White 3; Glee Club 3, 4; I’eggy Ellen came to us in vher junior year from South High of Youngstown. When it comes to dancing, we have to give the honor to Peggy. This talent she displayed very effectively in the Piper. We must say, Peggy likes them “short and sweet.” Wright, Delva One of Delva’s outstanding characteristic is her thoughtfulness for others. “Never elated when one man’s oppressed Never dejected while another’s blessed.” Zaluski, Alexander Eootball 3. 4; Orchestra 2, 3, 4; Track 3, 4; East High will always remember Alexander as one of the prominent members of its first foot-ball team To this activ.ity he devoted the first part of each of his last two years in high school. He will also be remembered as a member of the first orchestra which was organized among the pupils of East High. Page twentg-nine Graduation Our East High School we have loved you Ever since your day began, Yielder of our education, Moulded by the wits of man. Days of study, days of pleasure. Days of eagerness to hojd Facts that we can join together, More to us than worldly gold. Knowledge, vim and understanding Floating ’neath our colors bold, Virtues, waving high and saying, “We, East High’s cannot be sold!” Such good colors, how we love them Great their meaning and what they say, Off’ring us the finest standard, ’Neath the Scarlet and the Gray. And now, the day of graduation Hinging half the world around Comes to us in time of sadness; Our words flutter to the ground. Leaving classmates, lessons, teachers, Valued treasurer of those days, Many were the golden moments, Interpreting some noted phase.

RH up of fast, hard-hitting and good-passing men. For the past thtee years we have been under such a handicap in football that we have been the under dog in the scholastic race. However, our athletes have fought so courageously and have shown so much spirit that there is a growing admiration and support for us “sunbaskers” by all the unbiased sport followers of the city. When we were sophomores our football experience began. “Doc” Evans kindly consented tj give his time as coach and to him we are directly responsible for having a team and for our first training in this game. Because of Forty-seven the fact that we lacked experience anti weight we did little but take a lot of hard knocks and absorb a lot of football knowledge that was ‘o stand us in good stead later. But right here is where the germ of fighting against odds was planted in our athletc-s and of cooperation and school spirit in the student body. That year our team played Academy and several local county teams. In playing Academy’s big team on almost even footing, we stamped ourselves as a school which turned out fighting teams that were to be feared later. With the coming of our beloved “Chet” Louden Eust High’s football career really began. With no outstanding talent with which to mould a team, he developed a little band of warriors for the Scarlet and Grey that held the mighty Academy machine to a 19-7 score. Duell, our steady old center, tore through Academy’s big line and by blocking a punt and falling on the oval recorded the first touchdown of the game. Academy eventually won this game but it was only by a 19-7 score. We played North East and Titusville, losing both games by a very small margin and getting heartbreaking turns of the game. Brocton and Westfield fell victims to us by 33-0 and 25-7 scores respectively. We played the big G. E. Tech team to a 0-0 score. Central, outweighing us at least twenty pounds to the man, beat us 33-0. Still our boys put up a grand fight throughout the whole game. This year, despite the fact that most of the candidates gave Gus Anderson poor cooperation with regard to reporting for practice and keeping training rules, he was able to turn out a team, that, at different times during the season, displayed a brand of football equal to 'that played by the best of teams. Ashtabula Harbor has always been noted for its athletics. We met them and gave them a beating, 13-12. This game more than any other, raised our hopes for the Armistice day game with Central but our boys seemed unable to get going at their top speed and were overwhelmed 50-7. Tommy Moore, catching a forward pass in the last minute of play, ran through the entire team for a touchdown. We al know that our team of ’23 could have given Central or any other High School team a race for its life. The Central game left us dissatisfied and, with the true carry-on spirit, we are waiting for that not fai distant day, when East High shall In-crowned city champions in football. Basketball Basketball is the one sport in which East High has always been able to distinguish herself. We have always had enough clever players to pick a glorious team to represent our Alma Mater. At the very beginning, when the oldest class in our new school was the freshman class, we won the junior championship of the city. We did not even have a coach that year. Sipple, Captain Nolan, Johanasen, Smith and Griswold starred for that team. The second year of our career we easily defeated the junior teams of the city, gave Central a tough battle and beat several of the outlying county teams. The same team as that of a year ago represented us. Mr. Bougie very capably served as coach. The team of 21-22 was coached by Chet Louden. This team got off to a pool start at the verv beginning of the season. They seemed to lack that spirit to keep on fighting to the end. They assumed the lead in practically every game to let up and give victory to our Forty-eight opponents near the end of the gune. After we had lost eleven straight games our warriors came back and. showing a new fighting spirit, took Academy over to the tune of 24-21. That this was not to end our victories was proven when the Pebocs, Oil City, Linesville, North East, Academy and many other teams fell down victims before our terrible onslaught. Captain Slattery, Sipple, Butler and Meier played a steTar brand of basketball. Meeker and Newcamp played well at Center, the latter, at times playing hard and then again seeming to lack tlv fighting spirit thal the rest of the team had. This yeai, being the first year that we had met teams on an even footing, so far as age was concc ned, we had visions of the city championship. However, this was net to be. Possessing the finest team in Pennsylvania, we did not seem to be able to get the breaks when breaks meant championships. This was the case in the second Academy game and was decidedly true of the second Central game. We commenced our season with a 28-8 victory over the strong North East quintet, which was followed by a 42-13 victory over the Coi ry five. We continued doubling and tripling the score over our opponents until we went on our annual road trip which Mgr. Guycr has arranged the last two years. Because the team did not keep training rules while gone, they let two teams beat them, which although fine teams, were inferior to our splendid aggregation. These teams were Warren and Oil City. The retuin game with Warren was a decisive victory for us and as Warren had easily beaten Oil City we concluded that our superiority over the latter was unquestionable, although unfortunately a retuin game could not be arranged. One victory of which we are especially proud is the one we registered over the st i ong Lakewood team of Cleveland which had just previously given Academy a beating. Academy seemed to be our hardest opponent. Though we could play them to a two or three point margin, ar.d even lead them through most of a game, wo could not score a win over them. The last game was played on a floor that was covered with, either water, or sand which had been placed there to absorb the former. Under these terrible conditions which the Academians were partly accustomed to, we played them to a 22-19 score. It was a thrilling battle but a bitter one, for we lead nearly the entire last quarter. The first game with our jinxes was lest because of lax playing on the part of our fellows. Nevertheless we lost this game by just four points. The first Central game was a pleasant surprise. Playing the finest brand of scholastic basketball seen on an Erie court, we defeated them 25-23, Wallace scoring the winning basket in the last 15 seconds of play following spectacular shots by Slattery, Sipple, Butler and Meier. They were leading us 19-9 at the end of the first half but, “Gus’s” proteges held them scoreless from the field during the entire last half while we counted six two pointers in the late period. This was a wonderful victory, both for the coach and team and for the school. We lead Central through nearly all the next game with her only to have her snuff out victory with five consecutive distant shots in the last three minutes of the game. Then a team, Franklin, that had previously defeated Central at Franklin, fell before us on their own court by the humiliating score of 57-37. Edinboro Normal was an ea-;y opponent for us and was beaten badly. Of the remaining six games, East High won four. The summary of the games are as follows: Jan. 3—East High 28. North East 8 5—East High 42, Corry 13 12—East High .°8, P. N. A.

Franklin 52 28—East High 28, North East 21 Track In track, as in other athletics, East High has been handicapped by inexperience. Last year was the first time we actually got into competition on the cinder path. At Allegheny, we were able to pull down only two points—Chester Laprice placing in the mile. In the triangular meet, however, our boys showed up much better, so well in fact that they were able to nose out Academy by one-half a point. In this meet Moore sprang a big surprise when he captured first place in the 440. easily outrunning Griswold, the Central star. In addition to winning the 440, Moore also placed in the broad jump. Sneidcrwin got a first in the high jump and Frawley placed in the dash. In the mile and the half-mile, Wick and Laprice both scored. Taken altogether, the Scailet and Grey made a fine showing, of which every Sunrise supporter can be proud. This year, East started out strong. Journeying to Allegheny with a team composed of twelve men, the coach and manager, they came away with twenty points, finishing third in a meet composd of 17 schools. Academy placed first, scoring only two points more than we did, while the best Central could do was to place fifth with IS points. The srong South High team of Youngstown, who had won the meet two consecutive years, just nosed us out for second place when they piled up 21 points, making their total one point more than ours. In this meet, Tom Moore won the 440 and Tom Bowen tied for second place in the pole vault, after he had suffered a dislocation of his ankle. But the big surprise of the day .was Pete Bowen. Considered an outsider in the hurdles, Pete finished first at the head of a large field in the 220 low hurdles. Not satisfied with this accomplishment, Pete came back strong and captured second place in the high hurdles. The work of Wicks in the half-mile and 600 yard novice race was nothing short of marvelous. After taking second place in the novice race, Jimmy returned twenty minutes later and captured two points for us in the half-mile. While these were the only four who scored, the work of the other eight men must not go unnoticed. Alex, in the dashes, had some very strong competition. Had it not been for this, Zaluski would doubtless have scored. The “char-ley horse,” which Wallace received while playing tackle on the football team, bothered him and he was unable to place in the high jump. Hinckley made a worthy effort in the low hurdles, finishing second in his heat. All did well and more can be expected of them in the duel and triangu'ar meets which are to follow the Allegheny expeditions. The track outlook for this year is bright. A duel meet is to be held with Central on the twenty-sixth of May and one with Academy on May 30. The big-annual triangular meet will be held June second. Much of the credit for the splendid running of our men this year must he attributed directly to our splendid coach, Gus Anderson, who is not only a coach but a real fellow to every one of us who Fifty knows him. He has brought out and improved what ability our runners have had and has made them real trackmen. No matter what the result of the next meets may be, we all know that Coach Anderson and our team are giving their best for the Scarlet and Grey. Baseball Baseball, like basketball is one of the sports in which East High has always been prominent. Many of the same athletes that have helped make up the personnel of glorious basketball and football teams have also made East famous for its baseball teams. In the very first year of our existence here as a school, Mr. Ray coached a team, none of whom were more than freshmen, to victory after victory over county nines. The next year saw Mr. Russell installed as coach, with Mr. Ray in the background giving valuable advice all the while. This team was undoubtedly the greatest sophomore team in the country. Very few teams ever did much with Lindberg and Sipple for a battery and if they did hit the ball, the flashy infield of Wallace, Menosky, But-tler and Sneiderwin and Kilfoil, Eber-linc and Robinson in the outfield generally had them for easy outs. This team scored one victory over Academy, one twelve-inning tie, and one loss, besides beating many other senior county high teams. The following yeaj, “Chet” Louden was in charge of the boys, but because of a weakened pitching staff, ineligibility of several players and no real third baseman to work with our other wise strengthened infield, we did not make as good a record as we hoped. This year Elmer Richter, a pitcher of no little semi-professional fame around this part of the country, served as coach. As the schedule that Manager Warren arranged has not been played out up to the time this goes to press, we are unable to give a complete summary of the games ar.d their results but we know that this fine team will give a good account of itself For the backstop position we have Slattery, who is the finest catcher in scholastic circles. Mozdy has shown up best so far of the fine group of pitchers including, Puscher, Eddy and Roesner. We have a wonderful infield in Kane, Butler, Downing ana Robie. This is undoubtedly the finest infield in the history of our schools. The hitting of But-tler and Downing, as is their fielding, is nothing short of marvelous. Robie is a steady level-headed sort of a player, who can always be depended upon to deliver. Eberline, Barber and Duell form a trio of outfielders hard to match anywhere. This is the nine that has represented us this year and we are justly proud of them as we have been of other Scarlet and Grey nines in the past. rp I dims Tennis is rapidly coming to the fore at East High. Possessing three of the best courts in the city and having the services of our principal Mr. J. W. Ray as a coach, tennis is becoming very popular with the students. The courts were not put into service until September, 1922. Despite th'is handicap a tennis team was organized and several meets were held last fall. As far as individual playing goes, no one seriously disputes Stan Wallace’s right to the championship. Wally possesses an extraordinary reach and keeps his opponent continually on the jump. A strong contestant fo - the championship is Jimmy Cross. Jim, a steady consistent player, gave Wallace all the competition that he wanted in the tourna ment last fall. Fifty-one Closely fol owing these racquetters come Schulte and Poesner. They are two smashing player., full of tricks, cuts and lots to keep any opponent busy. In adcii.ion to these four, Seely and Wade are two good steady olayers. These six racquet weilders composed the team last year. Swi Last year, East High was justly proud of a very good swimming team. O’Keefe handled the plunge in excellent style. Pete Bowen made a very good dash and breast stroke man. In the diving Drummond by far surpassed all competition. He also entered the two twenty. Dowler, Larson, James, Mango, and Greenwood, completed the team. Leroy Burgnon managed the team. Coach Chet Louden had charge of the boys and under his supervision the team had shown very good prospects for the following year. This season for the first time in the history of athletics at East High the swimming team has failed to make an appearance at the meet with Academy. It is a pity that our school cannot support a team. Manager Cross worked hard in an attempt to keep the team BASKETBALL A though not a successful th;s sea-on as they were last the girls basketball team made a good showing in all their contents. They had to face qu'te a few difficulties: losing their coach and star forward of last season and later on, their side center, they had to d.c what they could, and I heir record shows their school spirit. A few stand-bys left from last v season and a few new candidates with the aid of Miss FI iven, th new coach, turned out a team worthy of the Scarlet and Grey. The City Championship escaped the grasp of the girl’s team by a mere two points. Breaking even with Central, This season Mr. Ray announces that a round robin will be played to determine the six best men to represent the Scarlet and Grey at the court game. Other strong contestants for berths on the varsity are: Meeker, Guyer, Warren, St rock. Con rath, S 11, Brady and Peterman. mining together but the lack of interest made his efforts useless. As a result swimming was dropped and all meets were cancelled. This was clue to the fact that the team lacked a coach, Mr. Anderson, being too busy with basketball to instruct the swimmers. After many inquiries, Edward Harrison, a member of Central’s swimming team, was secured. He retained the position as coach until swimming was discontinued. We sincerely hope that swimming as a sport will not be permanently excluded from our list of athletics. With our fine pool and possibilities of a winning team let us give our best efforts to the promotion of such a healthbuilding sport as swimming. Athletics their only opponent in this contest a third game had to be played. Keeping the score even until the last quarter the bri liant playing of Hayes of Central gave them their coveted two points and proved our Waterloo. No prospects are in view for a girls’ Varsity team for next year as there will only be inter-class games.

Today the American flag is looked up to and respected by the people of all nationalities; it is the greatest emblem which has ever offered protection to citizens of any country. But above all, today, the American people are respected by the people of other nations, because of the ideas they uphold in world politics. What is this power or greatness that America has attained and which is so attractive to the people of other lands ? Is it our vast army and navy they fear? Is it our industries and productive power they envy? Is it our science, education, or wealth and social plane that they respect and would try to attain? What is it that makes America a world power, a leader among nations? How great is the responsibility which America must assume in her position; how many are the opportunities afforded her for world progress and service? These and many others are the questions which leaders in America must answer today. That the United States is a leader is undeniable: therefore, we must accept without question, the responsibility placed upon us. America must not fail in her leadership of a trusting world. She cannot, from her commanding position in the vanguard of progress, sidestep or in any way avoid the obligations which are rightfully hers. Do you think the nations of the world fear our army and navy, our military strength? Why should they? America has nevei- had a war for aggression, she has never taken advantage of a smaller nation. Slow to anger, the United States has maintained a policy in its dealings with other nations which has acquired the respect and not the fear of the people of the world. America’s industries, her productive power, her science and education all have helped to give to her the position which she holds today; the position of one who leads. History tells us there has always been a leader among the nations of the world. Home was as great in her day as America is today. Ir. art, in culture, in government, in all that was great in her time, she was a leader; but, unable to maintain her moral integrity and world service, her power, crumbling first within herself, engulfed the vast empire which she had erected. There were others. Egypt and Spain we re both great leaders, but pride, wealth, over-confidence, and a declining morality pulled them down. Will history repeat itself? Has America risen to power only to fall as others have done before her? In the fall of every great power there has been the predominating influence of wealth. Yellow glittering gold has cast more ships of state upon the rocks of distraction than any scheming politician or ambitious ruler. America today possesses two-thirds of the gold supply of the world. Is it safe for us to have this wealth stored in our vaults ? Many eminent economists think it is a great danger. America must beware; this may be the handwrit'ng on the wall. Are we becoming a nation of money grabbers ? Do we care only for wealth and the things wealth can give us? This was not the policy of our forefathers, who founded this great land. It must not be ours. A rise in the wealth of a nation has always marked a moral decline. What the United States needs today is a real leader, if she is to lead others. What she needs is a Washington, a Lincoln, a man with will power enough to do his duty as he sees it, a man who will do what he knows to be right although the whole world is against him, a man who will combine the qualities of idealism and efficiency. But for one man to do it all is impossible; we must Fifty-five - nation will become a land of weaklings, unable to protect itself, and America will fall prey to a rival power. If we deteriorate mentally, then we will be without the advantage of the intellect which now directs our industries and government. But if we degenerate morally, then our very foundation will be torn from under us. All the principles of our modern civilization are bound by moral fiber. God give us rnen! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor,—men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue, And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking: For while the rabble, with their thumb-wom creeds, Their large professions, and their little deeds, Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps, Wrong rules the land, and waiting Justice sleeps! Alvin Strode 12-A. Perseverance have in America men and women who will back up and sanction the work of that leader. To produce such men and women is the work of our schools today. Here boys and girls are told of the magnitude of our great nation; they are impressed with the sacred duty that is theirs to keep its name above reproach; its honor unsoiled. To do this they themselves must be physically, mentally, and morally fit, for if they decline physically, then our Perseverance is the- ever-ready and kindly ally to those whose ambition is to succeed in life. Perseverance is at the root of that success which famous men have attained. Tammerlir.e, the great Asiatic explorer, was one who only met success in life by climbing the hill of difficulties, this he was wont to ascribe to the following incident. Once in fleeing from his enemies he sought refuge in : ruined building and to divert his mind from his own condition he watched the movements of an ant which was trying to carry a grain of corn up a wall to its home. Sixty-nine times did it try, but each time the grain, larger than its bearer, fell to the ground. But it tried again the seventieth time and was successful, for then it bore the coveted prize safely to the home above. Napoleon, when only ten years of age, was at the head of armies, wrote home to his mother at Corsica. With Homer in my pocket and my sword at my side I hope to fight my way through the world.” Everything we have has been won through perseverance. Perseverance has been behind the men that scaled the stormy cloud capped Alps. Perseverance has leveled the forest of a new world and placed in its stead a community of states and nations. Perseverance has done much in the world of thought. Think of the brain sweat, the heart labor, the constant Fifty-six struggle it took to make an Edison, a Steinmetz, or a Roosevelt. Perseverance has given to them what the world has bowed to in reverence. There is no short cut to distinction, no imperial highway to prosperity; you must work to win. The road of human welfare lies along the old highway of steadfast well doing. There is a difference between seeing and being. True worth is in being, not seeming. Society will not take you upon trust, so prove to society that you are a worker and a winner and society will make room for you and crown you. There is always room foi a man of force and he makes room for many. Grapple like a man and you will be a man. Emerson said; “The education of the will is the object of our existence.” The Jews were God’s chosen people. Because of the perseverance of then-leader they did not give up, although it took them forty years to enter the promised land. Cyrus Field, although failing in his first and second attempts, did not become discouraged, but in the face of overwhelming obstacles made his third attempt and was successful. Think how the world has profited by this one man’s determination. If you wish to make the most of life do not seek the path cf least resistance. Rather welcome the difficulties tli -t are in your way for, “Difficulties an the silver steps by which we rise to the golden throne.” Had Columbus not been a man of resolution, force, and of perseverance, the proof of the roturdity of the earth, and the discovery of America might have been delayed for many years. Behind him lay the gray Azores, Behind the gates of Hercules; Before him not the ghost of shores, Before him only shoreless seas; The good mate said “Now must we pray, For lo the very stars are gone! Brave Admiral speak, what shall I say? Why say, Sail on, Sail on, Sail on, and on. They sailed, they sailed, then spake the mate, “This mad sea shows his teeth tonight; He curls his lip, he lies in wait, with lifted teeth as if to bite Brave Admiral, say but one good word, What shall we do when hope is gone?” The words leapt like a leaping sword, “Sail on, sail on, sail on, and on.” Then pale and worn lie paced his deck; And peereu through darkness, ah that night of all dark nights! And then a speck, a light, a light, at last a light! It grew, a starlit flag unfurled, It grew to be time’ - burst of dawn; He gained a world, he gave that world It’s grandest lesson, ON, SAIL ON! Howard N. Plate 8-A-2. Theodore Roosevelt Among the many great names in American history, three stand out most prominently; Washington, the “Father of His Country,” who carried the nation safely through the Revolutionary period; Lincoln, the “Saviour of His Country,” by whose efforts we were kept as one nation when dissolution threatened; and Theodore Roosevelt, the “Brother of His Country,” and the man who stood for true Americanism; who said: “Let ours be true Americanism, the greater Americanism, and let us tolerate no other. Let us prepare ourselves for justice and efficiency within our own border during peace, for justice in international relations and for efficiency in war.” He was a man whose strong and far-seeing mind conceived the high purpose Fifty-seven of consecration to his race. He was a man with a vision and he lived and worked to make that vision a reality and a blessing to mankind. In early life he met his first obstacle— ill health, but with the determination which so characterized his whole future career, he overcame this handicap and became as strong and vigorous in body as in mind, without which qualifications he could not have been the successful student, the leader at Harvard, and the statesman, of whom it has been said that he played the part of a “patriotic sentinel; pacing the parapet of the Republic, alert to danger and every menace; in love with duty and service, and always unafraid.” We know that he was equally eminent as sportsman, naturalist, philosopher and citizen. We know that he possessed a bewildering assortment of information on almost every subject on earth, in heaven, or in the waters under the earth. Some one has said of him: “You can trust the first workman you meet, with a clay pipe in his mouth and a pail on his arm to give an amazingly shrewd and comprehensive characterization of Theodore Roosevelt.” One of his many fine traits was that of sharing all he had—his worldly goods, his strong mentality, his wide sympathy, his joyous fun, and his tender comprehension—with all those with whom he came in contact. In all the offices in which he served, Mr. Roosevelt showed an unusual capacity for work, and a remarkable vigor and directness in urging his opinions. This was shown in one of his most remarkable projects—the completion of the Panama Canal. In an almost incredibly short time he had the way cleared of diplomatic problems and the work pushed toward completion. His success in bringing to a close the war between Japan and Russia won for him the Nobel Peace prize. While Mr. Roosevelt in practice stood for peace, he strongly urged that the United States should be well prepared for war. While we were debating as to our position in the World War he said: “Until, as a nation, we learn to put honor and duty above safety, and to encounter any hazard with stern joy, rather than fail in our obligations to ourselves and to others, it is mere folly to talk of entering into leagues for world peace or into any other movements of like character. The only kind of peace worth having is the peace of righteousness and justice.” Reading from the wi-itings at this time we feel the impression which the voicing of his policy made upon all thinking people: “It would now seem that the people of the United States are at the parting of the ways between the corrupt old political system and a newer, manlier, lion-ester conception of public rights and duties.” Perhaps this sentence fore-shadows more than any other contemporary expression the enormous instrument for honesty in high places which it was Roosevelt’s destiny to become. “Over or through but never around,” was Roosevelt’s motto. Surely his life was a continuous living of it. The old Indian word. Sagamore, meaning chief, seemed to be the one for which he cared most. He named the site of his home “Sagamore Hill” and we read that after he passed away into the fathoms of eternity’s depths his brother dedicated this poem to him: At Sagamore the Chief lies low— Above the hill in circled row The whirring airplanes dip and fly, A guard of honor from the sky; Eagles to guard the Eagle—woe Is on the world. The people go With listless footstep, blind and slow; For one is dead—who shall not die— As Sagamore. Oh! land be loved, at last you know Fifty-eight The son who served you well below, The prophet voice, tne visioned eye, Hold him in ardent memory, For one is gone—who shall not go— From Sagamore. Ida Warfel 9-A. Friendship To be called a friend and to know that you are worthy of the name is the finest thing in life. Charles Kingsley has said “A friend is one whom we can always trust, one who knows the best and the worst about us, and who loves us in spite of our faults.” God has granted us many privileges and blessings. We little know of the vastness of these blessings and little do we appreciate the gifts bestowed on us. Friendship is the one gift or blessing which acts as a stimulus and gives us the desire to live lives of greatest service. For, after all, service is the highest test of friendship. “Friendship is a religion between two human souls.” Friends understand one another, and leam to trust and depend upon each other. They share their sorrows and joys, and strive for each other’s welfare. Although we may have many companions, we probably have few friends. Very often we call a person a friend when we really mean an acquaintance. A friend is a person who understands all our moods and is not easily offended by our remarks. A friend is a person who stands by us through thick and thin, and loves us in spite of our mistakes. History and literature contain many examples of friendship of which the world never tires. Ruth’s words to Naomi “Whither thou goest I will go” still bring to our minds the beautiful friendship between two women. David and Jonathan give us an insight into the friendship between men. Wordworth has said that the inspiration for much of his finest work came from the close friendship which existed between him and his sister, Dorothy. Every reader of Longfellow’s poems feels a sympathetic thrill when John Alden sets aside his own feelings and in the name of friendship stands willing to make the sacrifice asked of him. There are friends who are friends in name only. At times it is a difficult task to determine who the real friends are, at other times circumstances show clearly the true or the false. Sometimes in our prosperity we find that we have many so-called friends. But if misfortune visits us the false friends disappear, and only the true remain. These staunch friends help us over the difficult place and, encouraged by their kind words and deeds, we again face the road to happiness. All that is good in human nature is drawn out by friendship; all that is worthiest in man or woman is heightened by friendship. Man may be unconscious of tiie fact that he really wants friends, but he persistently searches for them. This is true of the student who is leaving his alma mater, and seeking higher education from another source; instinctively the first action of the student is to make friends. Perhaps he is a bit timid, and for a time wanders around in forlorn and lonely way. He struggles with his studies, and apparently loses interest in all things. But let him attain the friendship of a fellow-student, and he immediately pricks up and decides that the old world isn’t such a bad place to live in after all. Due to the stimulating influence of his friendship, interest in his studies revives. “Friendship is the multiplier of joys” and it may be said, a divider of sorrows. The friendship existing between a mother and daughter is a beautiful thing. All the joys and new plans which enter the daughter’s life are eagerly confided to her mother. It relieves the girl’s mind to know that some one approves of her plans. The mother, in turn, does all she can to promote her daughter’s happiness. Fifty-nine F Sumls’e Friendships, real friendships, should not be treated daintily. They are not like frost thieads. When real, they are the strongest things of which we know. Bene diet Arnold, an American soldier, and a personal friend of Washington, trampled this same beautiful thing beneath his feet. For a paltry sum of money he betrayed his friend, and then, it seemed to follow naturally to do that most dreadful thing of all, betray his country. But he lived to regret the act. On his death-bed the two things he regretted most were the treachery to his friend, and the betrayal of his country. The essence of friendship is entireness, a total generosity and trust. It is safe to say that he who ennobles friendship is most worthy of the name of friend, and he who belittles it has fewer claims to man’s humanity. Every time we deny the existence of a satisfying friendship we proclaim our own baseness. Let us appreciate the influence that friends have upon our lives. Let us be thankful for the ennobling and uplifting influence of our friends. Let us strive to be more worthy of their friendship and to show our appreciation of it by doing all in our power to prove ourselves loyal, sympathetic, and helpful. It has been said, “Pure friendship is something which men of inferior intellect can never taste.” There is no treasure the which may be compared to a faithful friend. Gold soon decayeth, and worldly wealth consumeth, and wasteth in the winds. But love once planted in a perfect and pure mind endureth weale and woe. The frownes of fortune, come they never so unk:nd, cannot the same over-throwe. Marn Kinte.r 12A. Friday, The Thirteenth j ' Mildred was decidedly out of sorts. Anyone could tell that by the way she slouched in the comfortable armchair before the cheerful fireplace in the parlor of her home. She snatched a magazine from the table and turned the pages in an endeavor to find an interesting article, but quickly threw it across the room. Jumping to her feet she ran to the window for the tenth time within the last half hour. It was Friday, the thirteenth, and she began to be superstitious. “Ha, ha, he, he, ha, ha,” cried a litt e freckle-faced boy from behind the davenport. “Deserted you at the altar, did he? Now, if you had taken your brother Sammy’s advice and had accepted Bob’s date instead of Dick’s, you wouldn’t be in your daddy Lotun’s parlor with a face as long as grandfather’s clock, but probably kept nice and warm by un armstrong ------.” A book happened to sing close to his ear, so in ducking his curly head, thought he had spoken his piece and prepared to leave the room, not however, before he had filled his fist with some of Mildred’s nice, creamy chocolates. Jim Lotun, how many times must 1 tell you to leave that candy alone,” cried Mildred after him with rage. “Bring every piece back here, do you hear?” “Yesh, ma’am,” answered Jim from the doorway, his mouth so fu.l of the dainty confection that he spoke with difficulty. “Jush a minush,” and taking about an eighth of a chocolate between his thumb and finger, gracelessly sidestepped over to the table where he laid it down. “Oh! thank you so much,” said Mildred sourly. “Now for your service, Master Lotun, you will kindly absent youisclf for the evening and find your way to the second floor. Go on,” she added angrily. Deciding that the atmosphere in that room was getting just a little too hot Sixty for his temperment he thought it wise to follow her advice and wasn’t seen for some time. Mildi-ed I.ottun was a senior of no mean popularity in South High. Many handsome cavaliers had fallen before her captivating smile and winning personality (this incident excluded, if you please). Just such a one was Dick Ilinter, also a senior, who had had the good grace to be the first to ask Mildred to attend the senior dance that night. Itut now he was late, three quarters of an hour late, and if there was anything that could raise this little damsel’s usually calm nature, it was the breaking of a date. She was unusually angry now because she had long anti-'cipated the pleasure of this dance and had even gone to the trouble of having a new dress made. As he sat there in a very despondent mood, she was startled by the ringing of the telephone. She jumped to her feet but then sat down again. Looking at her watch she discovered that it was ten- thirty. “If he thinks he can call up and make excuses at this hour, he is mistaken. I wouldn’t go now if I was dying for a dance,” she said to herself. The telephone continued to ring. In order to stop its incessant clamor, she ran to the telephone with a firm set face. “Halloa,” she said, as gruffly as she could. “Why-er-halloo. Is this-er-a-Lotun s residence?” asked a timid voice. “Yes,” was the answer in a milder tone, for she recognized the voice as that of a girl. “Is May at home?” was the next request. (May was Mildred’s sister). Well, Nell Grant. No, May went to Helen Larson’s tonight. Why at first I lidn’t recognize you in that weak, little voice,” said Mildred. “I’m sure I didn’t recognize you. I began to wonder whether I was speaking to a bug-bear or an ogre. By the way I didn’t expect to find you home tonight. I thought you were going to the dance,” answered Nell. “So did I, but, thanks to Dick Ilintcl, I am left alone at home to try to entertain myself,” was the sneering reply. “Dick Hintel!” cried Nell. “Why, I just saw Margie Darrell and Dick pas the house. That is, it looked enough like him to be his twin brother. He was dressed exactly in the same style that Dick chooses, too. At first sight I drew the conclusion that it was he and so never thought to take a second look, because there is no one around town that looks so much like him. “Hope you have a dandy time with your aunt,” concluded the caller. “Thanks, I’m sure I will. Aunt Kate always invites the most sociable crowds. Even though “Four Corners” is called a “hick town” they know how to show one a good time. Good-bye Nell.” With this the conversation closed. “So that was Mr. Hinter’s game. Well, this is the first and last time he will get a chance to play a trick like that on me. Even though she is his cousin, he needn’t try that. Say, but I’m glad Nell reminded me that I was going away. Between my disappointment and anger during the last two hours I forgot everything else. Now I remember a few things I forgot to pack. I will run upstairs and get them ready while I think of them.” All too quickly did those two weeks pass, each day filled with some new delight and pleasure, too many to be recounted here. All too soon did the time slip around until Mildred found herself in the non-inspiring rooms of South High again. The thought of returning had brought dread to her mind for she knew she would have to experience the distasteful meeting with Dick whom she had decided to treat as cooly as possible. For two days she successfully eluded all his attempts at friendship. However, once she managed to steal a sideward glance at that individual and noticed, to her great surprise, a deep scar on his right cheek. She had never noticed it before. Although he never appeared to be a fighter, she drew the conclusion that that was one of his weaknesses and so her disdain for him increased. A few days later Mildred was asked to attend a party given that night by Margie, who was entertaining for her cousin. At first she hesitated, but later, unused to letting her personal likes and dislikes cany her too far, consented, thinking that she need not pay any more attention to Dick there than in school. The first part of the evening passed very quickly. During the luncheon, someone proposed a toast to the “Hero of the House.” Dick blushed with embarrassment. Mildred didn’t know where the heroism came in, but she drank with the rest. She later learned, for the course of conversation soon led into these channels. Only an At last the new depot at Haverhill was completed. It was not exactly new because it had been remodeled from Judge Barns’ old homestead but that insignificant fact made no difference to Haverhill. It was a depot and it was new to them so they never even mentioned such a trivial matter when boasting to some of their less fortunate neighbors. This eighth wonder of the world had been used as a station for more than a week now and not one train had been more than half an houi late. The record was nothing short of marvelous, we grant, but look what a big city Haverhill was getting to be. No railroad could afford to risk it:, prestige by having its trains come in too late at a place like this. Toe much depended on it, Haverhill townsmen thought. One morning, however, they came “Say. old chap,” said one of the boys, “I’d be a little more careful after this on the thirteenth. Friday, the thirteenth at that. By the way, where were you headed when you saved that little one and merited that beauty mark.” “Well, in a few minutes we would have been headed for the school,” was the leply. “Ha, ha, notice that we,” they cried. “We wonder ------ But the rest was lost to Mildred. She could not quite make this story and the report Nell gave, coincide. Just at this moment the door-bell rang and in walked a young man whom Marjorie introduced as her cousin who was visiting their city for a few days. Everyone noticed the marked similarity between Dick and the stranger. This incident cleared all doubt from the girl’s mind. That night two smiling folks could be seen slowly walking home earnestly talking, nobody but themselves knew what. Margaret Pclow, 12. Hour Late down from their pinnacle with a thud. It was five minutes past eleven and the ten-thirty accommodation had not yet arrived. The station-master was in a panic. He paced wildly up and down his office fretting, complaining, wondering and condemning till his head swam, but the ten-thirty accommodation did not come. Finally, he almost came to the conclusion that it must have met with some accident. Five more minutes of serious thought seemed to make this solution seem more likely but the station-master was at a loss as to how he should proceed. At last a bright idea occurred to him. Why not telegraph to the different places where the accommodation stopped? Of course he shouftl have thought of that long ago but when one has so much responsibility on his shoulders he can’t think of everything. He went to a small instrument on his Sixty two desk and immediately began to telegraph all the towns within a radius of twenty-five miles. At last ftc sent a message to a place fifteen miles from Haverhill and received a reply that the accommodation had passed through there at its usual time. This was the last stop before Haverhill so something must have happened between there and here. Suddenly a gaunt ooV of horror over spread h?s face. The Clareton bridge! The station mastei would have staked his life that that was where the trouble lay. As he sat motionless at his desk he could see it all: the broken bridge; the turned-over cars; some of the passengers pinned under them, others drowning and calling frantically for help. There had been quite a few rains lately. They must have weakened the bridge so that it could not support the weight of the train. And horrors of horrors! Bill Stern, a young enginneer from Haverhill was working on that train. The station-master was almost frantic but his fright rendered him powerless to move or speak. It seemed ages before he could collect a semblance of calmness or the slightest power of action. At last, coming to himself, he was about to call a helping squad when the ringing of a bell caused his heart to kip a beat. At last the ten-thirty was here! He rushed down the stairs and into the open, thinking the while that the accident to the train must certainly have occurred in the region of the bell. It sounded weak and terribly hesitating to his muddled brain but, of course, that must be on account of his unstrung nerves. At last he was in the open enjoying the relief afforded by the cool air, when again the ringing of a bell attracted his attention. The station-master looked, gulped, allowed a volley of strong language to escape his lips and returned to his office, vehemently cursing every cow ; nd cow-bell that ever traversed this earth. Half an hour later as a helping squad with all its accessories was starting on its mission of aid, the belated object of its endeavors hove into sight near the distant horizon. A very pronounced sight of relief escaped from the whole company. He waited very impatiently until the train had rolled noisly up to the main entrance of the depot and stopped with a jerk. To his surprise, Bill Stern issued smilingly from the depths of the engine, acting in the capacity of engineer. “Are we very late?” he called with a laugh as ho discovered the irritated sta tion-master coming toward him. “Late,” retorted that individual. “No, you’re not late at all, just an hour past scheduled time. I can’t see what so funny,” he added as Bill continued to laugh. “We’l, I’ll tell you if you give me time,” the engineer replied after he had sobered himself sufficiently to talk. “It’s this way, you see. At Clareton, a few miles the other side of the bridge, the regular engineer to this train took sick and asked me if I wouldn’t relieve him. I told him I would, so before going olT, he told me that everything was all right and that he didn’t think I’d have any trouble. Well, things went all right until we got about ten miles outside here, then she stopped—deader than a doornail. First I examined the water gauge. There was enough water in her. Then I gave her a general looking over but I couldn’t find anything wrong. At last I was going to call Jack but I decided to take one more look. This time I looked over the watei tank instead of the gauge and sure enough there was my trouble. The gauge had been clogged so that it still registered enough water but the tank was empty. Sorry we caused you so mu h anxiety, Joe,” he added to the station-master, “but then we’re only an horn late.” Isabel Hain. Sixty-three A Horrible Night With Old King Tut I had just finished reading an extensive account of the excavation of “OLD KING TUTS” tomb and lay in bod thinking of the many possible things that may have taken place in that time, when I suddenly became aware of a strangely costumed man in my room, dressed in the ancient Egyptian clothes. “Come with me, we are going back four thousand years,”and with that he waved a black cloth thrice, and behold, I found myself, with my escort in an Egyptian castle, posing before the king, or tetrarch as he might have been called. “Verily I say unto thee, why hast thou come here with out my leave? I verily believe thou are a wicked spirit and will have thee killed tomorrow at noon.” Here he clapped his hands twice and there entered into the chamber three armed men very nearly naked, of immense strength. “Take this evil being to the dungeon, and then report to me.” This I took without resentment, but when 1 was thrown into what I thought looked like a pit with very many big slimy snakes in it, it was all the six guards could do to hold me. Finally I was overpowered and in I was thrown without mercy, if one could think of mercy in connection with those big brutes. When I landed I found myself in a great cylinder of wet, slimy and very rank smelling bricks. My experience in this hole cannot be related because the evil smells caused me to lose all consciousness. At last I awoke and found myself attired in a very bright tunic of red, and in a very magnificent room. All around the room were hideous statues and pictures, representing various gods of the Egyptians. There entered from the opposite side, the same three guards 1 have referred to, also in very bright raiment. Although I could not make out what they wanted of me I knew that my time was at hand. Right there is where my wonderful steadiness of nerve was a great asset to me. My professor in college told me if I ever got into a tight fix, I could always depend on my cool nerve to get me out and that was what I was doing then to upmost of my ability. During this time I had been led out into a very large park, or what appeared so to me. All over the sky there hung heavy clouds and this brought to my mind what the chap that brought me here had said, “I am going to take you back 4,000 years.” Now if this were true it was the year of 3,923 B. C. on Thursday and I remembered that on that day there had been a great earthquake. (I had learned this in my ancient Egyptian History in college). Immediately I took heart again, pulled off my “specs” and held them over a piece of papyrus and made a fire to attract attention. It worked. Almost instantly there was silence. “I am your God Euranious, and what you have done has displeased me greatly. 1 am now on this day going to destroy this whole nation.” As good luck would have it, just then there was a great tremor and the people got down on their knees and prayed. The great TUT-ANMK-AMEN was among them. The ground opened and swallowed some of them and I was hard put to it to keep on my feet. Suddenly it all stopped and I began to fear. The king stepped up to me and said, “If thou wert a god thou couldst make this continue.” “I will if you insist,” I said and I began to make mystical signs but no earthquake came. “Thou art a fake and shalt die by the sacred knife of our forefathers.” With that there was a yell, “Kill the imposter! Kill him! To the sacred knife with him!” I was seized and carried to a large hall in the royal palace where there was a monstrous knife suspended Sixty-four from the ceiling. Two of the greatest men set this thing of torture into motion and I saw that every time that it reached the end of its swing it was lowered about an inch. Down down, down, it came till within about an inch of my neck. Now I am what is usally called a brave man, but this was more than my nerves could endure. There broke out a cold sweat all over me and the color in my red gown started to run. Just as the knife was His First “Well, Melviny, I just got one of them telegrams this mornin’ from the son. He says he’ll come home first part of the week to spend his vacation, or some such thing.” Thus old Mr. Wiggins, conversing with his wife. (They were an old couple who lived in an out-of-the-way country town. The telegram of which he spoke was from their only son who had been through college and was now working in a large city.) “I don’t suppose he’ll stay very long. He didn’t say, did he, Joshua?” anxiously-asked the mother. “Why no, he didn’t. I ’spose them telegrams cost quite a bit o' money so you can’t say all you want to. Say, Melviny, it’ll be nice to have the boy home again, won’t it?” Melviny merely nodded her head; she was too happy for words. “Just think, ma,” continued Joshua, “it’ll be two years next month since last time we laid eyes on John. Them city-folk is alius too busy to go a-visitin’.” “Well, he’s coming home next week,” happily sighed the mother. Until their son’s arrival the Wiggins divided their time between telling their neighbors of the wonderful event and preparing for his home coming. Tuesday morning about eleven o’clock a funny noise, sounding like a sharp whistle, a grinding, the mooing of cows, and one hundred 'other things together in an instant, startled both Mrs. Wiggins in the kitchen and Mr. Wiggins in the barn. entering my neck, I found myself on the floor of my room right under my bed among all kinds of shoes. I had cut my finger somehow and I imagine that is what caused me to think that my red gown was fading. At any rate, I was greatly relieved to find my-self at home in my own room, in the year 1923 and not in that death room of the ancient KING TUT. Jose ilt O’Keefe, 10B. Auto Ride Both hurried out to see what had happened. There in the road was a large, dark blue automobile, and son John was just getting out. After the greetings, John showed the car to his parents, who were in turns proud, doubtful and afraid of it. During the afternoon John suggested a ride but this was met with disapproval. “I ain’t got much faith in that engine o’ yours. Why, John, what if we’d be on top o’ that big hill over there, and all of a sudden it’d stop and we’d roll right down backwards into that river anil that heavy thing on top o’ us, and then what ?” John tried to pursuade Pa that such an accident wouldn’t be likely to occur, but Ma couldn’t put the awful thought of such a terrible death for her and her loved ones out of her mind. After much persuasion and many explanations which he hardly understood, Pa almost decided to go if he could wait until morning to think it over. John laughingly answered, “You can take all the time you want to think it over dad, but I know that you will decide to try it.” Dad did think it over. He would have something over his neighbors, for they had never ridden in one of the newfangled machines. But if he was going to risk it he would do it right. Early next morning, Farmer Wiggins was out telling his friends about his expected ride that morning. When son John looked out of his window about ten o’clock he saw the front yard full of men and boys. All were standing at a respectable distance from the auto, although almost every eye was upon it. About this time a knock came at his door. When he opened it there stood Pa in his Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes. “Well, John, I’m ready to go for that ride. Let’s get it over with.” The farmer tried to pretend that he was calm, but one could easily see that he was excited. “All right, dad, I’ll be with you in a minute.” On his way downstairs John teased Ma to accompany them. “Oh, John, the shock would be more than I could stand, me with my heart trouble. I can’t think whatever made your father want to go. Oh, do be careful.” Mrs. Wiggins was nervous, excited, and almost tearful when she made this answer. Soon two neighbors rushed in to comfort her. John led the way to the machine and jumped in. Poor Pa’s courage failed him as he was about to put his foot on the running board. But looking around on his neighbors and friends and remembering his honor, he grabbed the side of the car and stumbled in. He fumbled nervously around while John started the engine. Then he waved a weak good-bye to his friends and shut his eyes. Ten minutes passed and yet nothing exciting had happened. Another five minutes and Pa gained enough courage to open his eyes. Why, he knew the place well, but, it couldn’t be right. This place was seven miles from home and it took a whole morning to get there with a horse. After seeing more familiar landmarks, he was finally convinced that he was right in regard to the place. But still, it couldn’t be. This place was ten miles away and this one fifteen miles. “Say, John, how fast be we goin’?” At last dad had gained enough courage to talk. “Oh, about thirty miles an hour,” answered John. “Thirty miles”—but before he could finish they entered a town and John honked the horn to scare some chickens from the street. At that unearthly sound Pa jumped about a foot in the air and sank back exhausted, thinking his day had come. About an hour later the farmer returned home, more tired than if he had done four days’ work. Pa was the hero of the day. To his neighbors and friends he said it wasn’t so bad, but inwardly he decided that he wouldn’t take another such ride unless forced to. Wilhelmina Sommers 12. Editorial At this time, on our journey along the highway of life, we come to the parting of the ways. . Some of us will seek fame and fortune at once; others will delay that search for a few years and enter the higher institutions of learning. As time goes on, these roads diverge more and more until many of our high school friendships become mere memories. Is there not something we can keep in common? Memories—yes—but we all have memories of different people and different circumstances. What I mean in common is—something for which we can all keep striving, for the betterment of the world. And what is this thing for which we may strive when perhaps we have scattered to the four corners of the world? It is the virtue of good citizenship. No matter whether we are doing missionary work in China 01 India; whether we are seeking adventure in the wilds of Africa; whether we are powerful financiers in Wall Street or whether we are skilled diplomats, we can remain faithful to the Stars and Stripes. It is such a vital necessity to our (Continued on page seventy-one) Sixty-six Sixty-vine Scene from the Piper The Piper Josephine Peabody’s “Piper” based on Browning’s immortal poem “The Pied Piper of Hamelin” was given October 26 and 27. The first scene, opening in the maiket place at Hamelin, shows groups of dancers and part of the band of strolling players who have been putting on a series of performances in the city. The people, particularly the children, are wholly charmed and enthusiastic over this ‘miniature circus”, but amid their exclamations of delight, the mayor intervenes, proposing they close the day with prayers to St. Willabald for ridding the town of the recent plague of rats. The people remonstrate and declare that it was “a piping man, arrayed in divers colors” who had driven away this pestilence. To calm the rabble, the mayor reluctantly consents to have the town crier beseech the man to stand forth. To everyone’s surprise, the Piper steps forth arrayed in a gaudy cloak of red and yellow checks. He acknowledges that it was he who piped away the rats and demands his promised thousand guilders in payment. After a long consultation the mayor and townsmen refuse to give the Piper more than fifteen guilders. At the man’s indignant refusal of this paltry sum, the people leave him, going into the church to pray. During their absence the Piper leads the children away to a cave in a hollow hill. Here, the little dreamers tell strange tales which are really happenings in Hamelin. In the midst of this excitement, Michael i ushes in and begs the Piper to save Barbara, with whom he has fallen in love, from solitary life as a nun. The Pipe] promises to do so, and later fufills it by bewitching the host of people accompanying Barbara to the convent, but imagine his dismay when he sees that through the charm, Bar- Sevenly bara has fallen in love with him. In ordei to divert the love of Barbara and dispell the wrath of Michael, as a last resort the Piper gives her a love philter. It takes effect and Barbara again recognizes Michael and admits that she loves him. Michael proposes and Barbara consents to become his wife. Just then a faint tinkle of a bell is heard, breaking in upon the Piper’s lonely reverie, and Veronika the wife of Kurt, enters, weary and half spent. She recognizes the Piper and begs him to return the children to the stricken mothers of Hamelin. Although the Piper has grown to love Veronika, he per sistently refuses. Meanwhile Barbara and Michael have returned to Hamelin and inform her father, the mayor, that they are married. Here they find a sore and stricken people mourning the loss of their loved ones. While they are discussing their possible fate, the Piper enters, bringing w:th him the children. He personally returns Jan to Veronika and then with a last long look at the one whom he loves but cannot have, the Piper leaves the town and the once more joyous people hear the melancholy sound of his pipe grow- Edi (Continued from page sixty-six) country that we should respect the laws of any country in which we may reside, and that we put a firm trust in our own government, honoring the country which affords us so many opportunities.

Cecil Tracy. one Debating a Of all the activities in which ihe students of East High have participated, debating was the last to be brought into prominence, and the first to bring prominence to our school. Prior to this year, no enthusiasm along this line could be aroused, but when we were awakened to the fact that if someone did not step up and interfere, Central would keep the University cup which she had held for two years, then East High’s loyalty reasserted itself, and we promptly decided that Central would have to fight il she caied to defend her trophy. The debating team which is at present representing Ea.-t High, is one of which we can be justly proud, and one which deserves much praise, the more so when we think of the poor backing it had up to this time. In the first year of its existence, when East High was still in the junior stage, the persons in charge had to devote all their efforts and most of their time to seeing that a good solid foundation was laid for the future East High. They had all they could do to establish the well regulated and smooth-running order which is now serving us so well. Without paying any attention to debating, athletics, or other secondary affairs, the faculty kept themselves quite busy. During our second and third years, athletics was the all-absorbing interest. Due to the excitement caused by or- ganizing the different football, basketball, and baseball teams, no one cared to settle himself to the strenuous work of debating. While our gym and pool were still novelties, and the athletic field had not even as yet been used, it is small wonder that little enthusiasm was given to other subjects. This yeai, however, things have changed. Most of the newness has worn off, and the pupils of East High have settled down to bring their school into notice in other ways. The first evidence of this change was the sudden enthusiasm with which East High prepared to answer Central’s challenge, and to win from her the cup she almost considered her own. First in the long march of events which terminated ir our thrilling victory was Mr. Brockway’s selection of a team. Time after time he called our attention to the pressing necessity of answering Central’s challenge. He finally called together those who were willing to take part in debating, and from these he selected the team that has won so much renown. This team consisted of Louis and Charles Lifshitz, Leo Emling, and Alvin Strock. Mr. Brock way, with the assistance of Mr. Merrillees, coached the boys and made of them one of the finest debating teams of the city. Isabel Haiti. Seventy-two The Stamp Club Two years ago a number of students assembled in Room 210 and organized what was considered a novel club. The fact is, it received little consideration at all. It was an infant like the school, but its original members and above all its organizers were not the kind that believed in standing still. With progress and assistance as watchwords they worked faithfully at the undertaking, and now, two years having passed, this undertaking has resulted in one of the best clubs in the entire school. Today the Stamp Club, for such it was, with an enrollment of twenty-five members, is making rapid progress and expects in the near future to be the biggest and best club in the school. The Stamp Club aims to encourage and promote general stamp collecting among all the students of the school. It offers individual help to all collectors whether members or not. All students are welcome to visit Room 210 and receive hatever aid they may require. The members of the club are being educated at the meetings, through designated reading, not just in stamp collecting but in philately The true study of philately means the study of the origin of the design, and of the country of various stamps. It means the study of stamps from the historic and geographic viewpoint. It is certainly, therefore, strongly recommended to students interested in the above studies. As an instrument in promoting the general purpose of the club a stamp collection has been started by the club, as a body, and is being displayed in the school library. It will be added to from time to time and on investigation, will be found both interesting and instructive. It is suggested that the students “give it the once over ’’ There are a number of persons to whom the club and its members owe heartfelt thanks. To its founder, Mr. Harbold, goes the greatest credit for putting the club on the foundation it is at present. It was through his efforts that the club was organized and through his personal interest that it remained intact through the months when it seemed almost extinct, and it is to him that we owe nut present success. And we all feel sure that it will be to him that we will owe much of our future progress. Under his leadership the club can become a much bigger and better organization. We, therefore, hope that he will continue to take the same active interest in it in the future, as he has done in the past. The club is also deeply indebted to the students of the woodshop department for their woik on the stamp case now displaying the stamps in the library. They deserve every bit as much credit for that collection as do we members. To our president, Aldor Swenson, the club also owes a word of thanks. He has been sincere in trying to give his best service to th..- club, and we are sorry to lose him with the ’23 class. The club loses a number of members with the 1923 class. It is to these in particular that we wish to express our thanks. We certainly regret to part with them. It means a big loss to the club. It means that their hearty cooperation and their encouraging sentiments will no longer be felt. But—we should not be selfish. They are entering upon a bigger and better thing, and we sincerely extend to them our hearty congratulations at their successful completion of their high school career. And now, with a word of encouragement and thanks we bid them good-bye. May they look back with tender memories upon their hours with the stamp club, and may they keep adding to or may they at least maintain their present stamp collection. May they keep it to remember the East High Stamp Club. Seventy-three Commencement Overture—Orfeo and Eurydice ........................ Gluck Star Spangled Banner—Francis Scott Key..............

On June seventh, the class of twenty-three will hold the first senior banquet in the annals of East High. This occasion, which is looked forward to with much anticipation, is yet an evening tinged with a trifle of sadness, for is it not the last time that the class, as a whole will come together? A very interesting program has been arranged by the program committee, Doretta Renz, Alice Shay and Helene Prior, with speeches by Rev. Gearhart, Mr. John C. Diehl, and Mr. John W. Ray. The president of the Senior Class, John Freeboum, will act as toastmaster. After the banquet the entertainment committee, Kenneth Guyer, Harold Schutte and Harold Meeker have arranged a program. Dancing, however, will be the feature of the evening. The decorations of the ballroom and table are being supervised by Doris Chandler, Mary Trask, and Marjorie Wing. Seventy-five M mi Dramatics in East High One of the organizations that has df.r.e much good work for our institution during our high school course, is the Dramatic Club. Encouraged by the success of the first two plays, “The Turtle Dove” and “The Florist Shop,” the club worked with renewed interest, studying the works of famous dramatists in order to get a good foundation for future work. Shortly after our new school was completed this club made its “debut” in the new building by presenting in auditorium a sketch entitled “The Seven Little Mulligans”. Judging from the outburst of mirth swellng from all coiners of the room, it made a decided “hit” with the students. Then our major productions, given by the school, were directly due to the earnest work of this dramatic organization. “Miss Bob White”, a musical comedy, and “The Piper”, the Harvard Class prize play, gained an enviable position for East High among successful dramatic productions given by high schools of the city. Charlotte MacPherson. S1|| m, ,P Seventy-six The Student Council The Student Council of East High really sprang into existence while we were attending school in the shop wing. Educational institutions all over the United States were adopting this system of giving the students some chance to help in making the rules for their government, and East High, not to be out-done, quickly followed in their steps. Perhaps it would be appropriate to explain how the members for this council are elected. Four students are chosen yearly from the senior and junior classes, three from the sophomores, two from the freshmen, and two from the trade courses. These representatives help to make the rules of the school. There was not much chance for growth in the old building, the first members of the Council merely acting as “traffic cops” to see that there was no running or pushing in the narrow, con gested halls. Later, in the new building the members took up their work with a will. Officers were elected and meetings were held regularly and much credit is due to the members foi their excellent attendance. At these meetings affairs of the school were discussed, criticised, and approved according to their respective merits. Then, also, a body of laws was drawn Orchestra The honors won in the fields of literature and athletics arc not any greater than those won by our orchestra and band, but it seems that the student body and the general public does not appreciate the work of our young musicians as much as of our athletes and writers. Four years ago, with the opening of our school, Miss Jones, our capable and enthusiastic directress, urged the formation of an orchestra. At first about six up laying rules foi school activities, particularly the dances. Previously much discomfort and enmity had arisen between students, about the entire school attending dances. The matter was taken up by the school council which resulted in having the junior and senior high dances separate, each with several members of the faculty as chaperones, and both ending at ten-thirty. This has proven very successful, thanks to this organization, the members of which worked diligently in order that all might be satisfied. The duty of choosing managers for the various activities, as well as awarding letters, falls to these councilors. Various rules have been enforced governing these awards. In all activities, excluding swimming, track, and debating, a player must take part in three-fourths of the games in order to receive a letter; in swimming and track he must have at least five points; in debating every member of the team except the manager receives his lettter. Altogether this organization has done much for our school and will continue in its good work so that some day we may be pointed out as the school whose rules are made and successfully executed by the students. Charlotte Mac Pherson. and Band members were enrolled. Now, at the end of the fourth year, eighteen students are in the group. The orchestra consists of the following instruments: seven violins, two trombones, a clarinet, a flute, three saxaphones, two cornets, a horn, drums and traps, and the piano. By obtaining outside engagements, the orchestra earned sufficient money with ..-hich to buy music stands for all. In these engagements are included con- Sevcnty-seven certs and lectures. A concert of combined orchestras of the high schools was given with the Glee Club to help to fill in the program. The orchestra also furnished music for two of the plays put on by the students of our school, “The Turtle Dove” and “The Piper.” The band, which organized during the latter part of November of last year, was at first a c‘ub activity under the direction of Mr. Kellog. In the beginning the band consisted of seven members but the ranks increased continually until, at the end of the school year, twenty-six boys were enrolled. The members gave their first concert in our auditorium before the student body and the faculty. This year the band plays with the combined forces of Academy and Central, under the leadership of Mr. Campbell. Several exhibitions have been given at the different schools and a number of public concerts have also been given in Perry Square. It :s hoped that next year more inter est will be taken in the musical line at our school. A number of the members of the band and orchestra will not be with us next year, therefore we want students to take the places of those who are leaving us. Typewriting Contest Another trophy has been added to East High’s growing collection. The Underwood Typewriting Company offered a loving cup to the team winning first honors in the Typewriting Contest held at Academy High April 25. Teams for the various events were entered from Corry, Union City, and the five Erie high schools. The contest was divided into three events, each high school entering five for the First Year, Second Year, and Free-for-all contests. The method of marking was the New York State Regents’ Rules for the accuracy tests and the International Rules for the speed tests. In determining the outcome, the average of the three students making the best records in accuracy and speed was used. The result was: East High first in both accuracy and speed for the First year, and first in accuracy and third in speed for the Second year. An individual prize was also awarded to Pauline Monaco, a first year student who made a speed of 45 words net per minute for fifteen minutes and a score of 100 in accuracy. Our group of fifteen students went into this contest with a strong determination to win and came home with the honors in the form of a silver cup. Much credit is due to these who, although they did not make the team, worked against the team, thus helping to increase their speed. Next year another contest will be held, but we are sure the East High spirit will again return this cup to its first abode. In connection with the Typewriting Contest recently held at Academy High, a shorthand contest was staged in which East High again shone. Contestants were entered from the first and second year classes. In the final reckoning, East High stood first in the first year event. This place was won by Helen Young, whose score was 99%. The average for accuracy (or the entire team in this event was 97.8. The second year team was less fortunate. However, Kathleen Adams came in for fourth place. Notwithstanding the fact that this was the first trial in a contest of this kind, the teams on the whole made a very good showing.
