I Tn in r ' 1 rmi imi rmi [ttti rmi 'mi RTii rmi RH1 jllf rhi th RTf] r) I Til lOOHDS HOIH 1SV3 PREFACE The task of publishing a year book is one that involves careful planning, hard work, and above all, cooperation on the part of everyone concerned. The staff cannot express too highly its appreciation for the hearty cooperation and spirit of good will manifested by the entire school in assisting in this undertaking. The faculty advisory board is to be commended for the splendid manner in which it has worked that this book might be possible. Mr. H. F. Heck, who for the past three years has been chairman of the board, deserves a goodly share of the credit for his untiring efforts in directing the work. Miss Lillian McConkey, the supervisor of the art department, deserves especial recognition for the results evidenced in the artistic features of the book. In supervising the work of a literary nature. Miss Sadie Winkler and Mrs. Blanche Sackett are worthy of much commendation for their share in helping us reach our objective. To Miss Augusta Gerboth and the members of the typewriting department we wish to express our utmost appreciation for their praiseworthy assistance. For the A. K. D. Printing Company, the Erie Engraving Company, and the McDannell Studio by whom the practical part of the work was done, we have only praise and gratitude for the manner in which they helped us, and for the many courtesies we received at their hands. In conclusion we express the hope that in years to come the same spirit will be in evidence as that which has made the 1927 Annual possible. 3 iftiKH Ularia IFarlry Aaststant {frinripal 4 Stratum (Eo miss maria iFarlry, who bg thr exemplification of all thr qualitirs of trur frirntiship. ntrrits our lasting lour anti rstrrnt, uu thr rlass of ninrtmi huutirrti anti twrntu-srurn.affrrtionatrlgtiriiiratr this book. 3nbit $0. Say jfrinripal 6 Message to the Graduating Class As you are about to leave these halls, the first of our graduates are finishing their work at college. Ere long the city of Erie will have a few representatives of East in the professions. By the time some of your class have completed a college course, we will have a considerable number of college people in our alumni organization. But whether you go to college or not you will be interested in the welfare of your alma mater and your alma mater will not cease to be interested in you. The time is at hand when our graduates should exert a great influence in the community and by a united effort they could do more for East than merely be loyal to her. As you enter the alumni association, do what you can to get those of our graduates who have not left the city permanently, to unite on some definite piece of work that may start as an acorn but eventually become a towering oak. Five hundred earnest men and young women can do a great deal of good without much sacrifice on the part of anyone if they but work unitedly. In behalf of the Faculty of East, 1 wish you well. Class of '27. In business, in the shop, in college, no matter vjhere, your loyalty will always be felt. Your success will be Easts success and nothing will bring greater pleasure to your school than the joy it will feel when it hears of your achievements. JOHN W. RAY 7 8 Mr. H. B.

We were a group of studious, and unsophisticated boys and girls. We had heard from other disillusioned Freshmen, of other years, that to be a Freshman is not the important office that it seems to be, so we entered quietly—and watched the seniors wistfully. The next year we were Sophomores, and having reached that blissful egotistical frame of mind, we lifted our heads and looked about us. Noting that little attention was paid to this we became even bolder, and would gladly have sponsored a dance or two, but this was promptly squelched, so we retired to the background once more. 14 Thelma Aspegren Eugene Cotter Howard Plate Hyacinth Yaple SENIOR CLASS HISTORY—(Continued) Then we became Juniors! At last we were being noticed! The Seniors seemed to awaken to the fact that we were alive! Whenever the Seniors needed help with any of their ventures, they turned to us, and we responded gladly—proud to be of any service to the dignified Seniors! In fact we became so fond of them that we attempted and achieved a Junior-Senior Prom. At last we won the goal that we had sought completely. We were Seniors! We elected our class officers and appointed various committees. We sponsored several dances, and some of our members took part in a School play ’’Out of the Air.” Then our Senior play, “Summer is a Cornin’ In,” the class worked hard to make the play a success, and to keep faith with Senior classes of other years which had done so commendably. The football team and the famous basketball team was supported enthusiastically by our class, and we watched each man of the different teams with pride and gratitude. However, without the support of our beloved faculty we could never have come through so victoriously to the crowning glory of Commencement day. Our faculty offered us their wisdom, and understanding, and guided our feet in the right paths. In every one of our hearts is a little shrine that will ever gleam brightly in their memory in the future years. Today, wejk stand on the threshold of our Alma Mater, and look into the future knowing nought what it may hold forth for each and every one of us. “Though one were as wise as Solomon And failed at never a task essayed: Had raced, a runner not yet outrun. What shall he say when none have stayed. And over the Campus the silent shade Of twilight falls, and the watchers know The ghost of a high school year is laid? What shall we say as we turn to go? Prince, to whom we erstwhile prayed. Of Heartfelt things that are whispered low; When throats catch and lips are afraid. What shall we say when we turn to go?” HYACINTH YAPLE 15 LEO ANDREW Class Play 4 A quiet, studious fellow who always has his lessons. I eo is a firm believer in doing one thing and doing it well. For all his reserve, he possesses a keen sense of humor and is really a delightful fellow when you get to know him. We are uncertain of his future ambition but we would not be surprised to find him owner of a large food business some day. ARTHUR VON GLENTHWORTH ARROWSMITH Football 2, 3, 4; Basketball Mgr. 3; Class Basketball 4; Student Council 4; Pres. 4; Captain Crossbones 2; Spanish Club 1; Class Play Committee; Junior Prom Committee 4; Glee Club 2. “Art is another one of our popular Seniors, not only in school but also with the fair sex. He has made many a fair maiden’s heart go afluttering when he put in an appearance, only to cast them aside for Flea nor. “Art has also played regular end on the football team for the last two seasons and he certainly has done a good job of it. We are sure that he will make a good Admiral some day. THELMA BONITA ASPEGREN Spanish Club 1; Class Ring Com. 4; Sunrise Staff 4. Thelma is one of East’s best students. She has proven her ability to study and it is a pleasure for the teachers to see her enter the classroom, because her lessons are always prepared and she is eager for knowledge. Thelma has a host of friends and we know that she will continue to make them when she departs from her Alma Mater. BERNICE ELIZABETH BENGSTEN M. Club 3, 4; Glee Club 3; Sunrise Staff 4. Bernice, with her golden hair and smiling face, is a burst of sunshine. Who can doubt that Bernice with her ability and capacity for work, will succeed in any line of endeavor. Her smile and cheerfulness help us as we “tread our weary way. REXFORD S. BILLS Pentagon Staff 1; Football 2, 3, 4; Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Track 2, 3; Glee Club 3. 4; HI-Y 3, 4; Boomer Staff 1; Orchestra 2, 3; Captain Crossbones” 3. The big man of the school. Big in stature, ideals, and accomplishment, a host of friends pay tribute to his unusual personality. Hex is indeed one of the pillars of the school and his friendliness and wit have made him known from hall to hall. Hex can do anything and do it well and as for the fair sex—Wow! A huge success in high school he will seek greater laurels in college, and he leaves with the best wishes of the entire class. 16 KENNETH WILLIAM BINNING Football 3, 4; Class Basketball 4; Band 1, 2, 3; Stamp Club 1; Track 2. Ken” Is one of the noisy fellows of the class. Where you hear noise, you will usually find him in the midst of it. Though he is quite popular with the fair sex. he does not let them get the best of him. He made quite an enviable record on the gridiron last fall, and we hope that he will continue his good work when he leaves school. MILDRED ANN BURGESON Spanish Club 1; Glee Club 3. Mildred is a good natured young girl with a very kindly disposition. She is sweet and unassuming—rare qualities in this modern age. She intends to carry the name of East High out into the world of business. We feel certain that she will keep honour upon that beloved name. MARY LOU CAREY Glee Club 1, 2. 3; Class play Com. 4; Mamzelle Taps 1; Captain Crossbones 2 The entire school is bound to know Mary. She is the one who relieves them of their pet change at lunch time. The school is thinking of starting a feudal system in the Carey family and donating to them the cash register which has been used by every one of the family that has attended East. It is apparent that Mary is deeply interested in a familiar object which is in the halls between classes, and we wonder why there is all this enthusiasm on her part. Mary can be depended upon to do anything which she promises to do and this is a distinguished quality to possess. WILLIAM PETER CARNEY Swimming 1, 2, 3, 4; Football 1; Water Polo 3, 4: Basketball 3. This popular young man is well known around the school for his ever smiling countenance. Bill is the captain and the mainstay of our water polo team. He has made a name for East in this sport, and we expect to hear of his athletic prowess after he leaves school. He will remain in the memory of his classmates as a true good-natured son of East. WILLIAM KENNETH CARTER Swimming 1, 2, 3, 4; Swimming Team Mgr. 4; Class Basketball 4. Bill is a member of the swimming team and a dispenser of joy and good feeling around the school. He carries an inimitable smile which seems to be perpetual. His optimistic attitude is very contagious. “Bill' is a great admirer of the fair sex. but, is there anyone who isn’t? 17 ALLEN CLINE “Cline of Conneaut”. has been with us only a year but he has indeed made much of this short period. A quiet, reserved, fellow, he has become one of our best friends, and the only concern we have for his future, is our fear that some little lady will interfere with his ambitions. MARIE AGUSTA COOKE Glee Club 1, 2; Captain Crossbones 2; Dramatic Club 1, 2. Quiet, consistent, and dependable, with the added virtue of a ready smile, that is Marie. All her work is sincerely done and well done, with no exceptions. Her future promises to be a bright one. EUGENE JOSEPH COTTER Senior Class President; Class Basketball 2, 4; Asst. Editor Sunrise 4; Basketball 3. 4; Junior Declamation Contest 1; Class Day Committee 4; Class President 2. This is our class president! Because of Kugene’s untiring efforts the class of 11)27 has finished the voyage successfully. Not only does he have ability as a class leader, but as a student as well. Very few lists of honor students have appeared which have not contained Kugene’s name. With his earnestness and winning way. lie is bound to make a name for himself in the business or professional world. FREDERICK DAWES CRANCH Debating 3, 4; Orchestra 4; Sunrise Staff 4; Burn’s Contest 1, 4; Band 1, 3, 4; Chm. Banquet Com. 4; Hi-Y 3, 4; Senior Class Play; Student Council 4. A true friend and a loyal comrade with a heart as big as himself, that’s Fred. Blessed with the unusual ability of being able to do anything well, he has contributed a goodly share to the record of his class’ achievements. A staunch supporter of all that is right and good, he is a splendid example of the type of student Bast is proud to call its own. We are sorry to lose this fine chap but we know that he is stepping up the ladder to bigger attainments. MARSHALL WILLIAM CROSS Track 3; Football 4. When “Luke” gets down to work nothing stops him. Many unknown powers “lay slumbering within him”, that suddenly came to light during his senior year. Marshall has an unusual gift of making and holding friends. He is a quiet and steady supporter of our class. 13 CLAIRE M. DELANEY M Club 4 Claire might be small, but good tilings come In small packages. She belongs to one of those inseparable groups and has a winsome personality, so that everyone who knows her is bound to like her—a certain somebody does anyway. The business world claims Claire and we wish her every possible success. BETTY LOUISE ENGELS Glee Club 3, 4; Social Committee 4. “Cheeks of rose, and eyes whose blue. Melting, thrills you through and through. Betty’s cheerful disposition and pleasant smile have made her one of the most popular girls in the class. And. say. did you ever notice her dimples? Betty is a good companion and a true friend. What more can anyone want? HAROLD SAMUEL FARGO Sunrise Editor-In-Chief 4; Junior Baseball Mgr. 1; Class President 1; Burn’s Contest 3. Author. Editor and Public Speaker; all these and more is this prominent member of our class. Harold has clone as much for this school in a quiet and consistent manner as any member of. this senior class. Harold manages to put everv project over in an excellent manner, then modestly retreats to the rear. When he graduates from college we feel certain that we shall hear of him as a most successful journalist and author. A mind to build, and a hand to guide.” that is his character. EDMUND STEPHEN FINUCANE Football Mgr. 4; Asst. Mgr. 3; Class Day Com. 4; Sunrise Staff 4; Hi-Y Club 3. 4; Spanish Club 1. Behold our attractive football manager! Anyone who has Ed as a personal friend, has a friend indeed.

FREEMAN Hi-Y Club 3, 4; Glee Club 3; Debating 3. 4; Sunrise Staff 4; Play Committee 3; Class Basketball 3, 4; Burns Oratorical Contest 3; Football 3. Jake” hails from Lawrence Park. You will recall that he was one of our representatives in the Burns Oratorical Contest last year. East will be minus the serv ces of this able orator next year. We do not know what the future has in store for Jacob, but we wish h'm the best of success in all his endeavors. 19 DAVID FRICK Track 3. This quiet, modest lad is ever on the job. His motto seems to be. “Do more and say less about it.” We do not know what his future intentions are. but we are sure he will succeed in whatever he undertakes. EDWARD EUGENE GAYLORD Track 2; Football 3, 4 ; Hl-Y Club 3, 4; Class Basketball 4. Here is a lad who “wields a wicked club” on the golf course. tiene” is also planning to attend college and will probably enter as a Science and Chemistry student. Eugene is another one of those consistent, “Lawrence Park Commuters.” CLARK STEPHEN GREENWOOD Glee Club 2; Orchestra 2, 3, 4; Band 3, 4. This young man is not only a quiet, studious, person, but a most true and considerate friend. This lad may often l e found in some remote corner of the library devouring some new science volume. Steve” plans to attend college soon. His numerous friends at East extend every best wish for his success. FRANCIS JOSEPH HART Baseball 1, 3, 4; Football 3, 4; Spanish Club 1. Francis Joseph Hart is not very well-known about school, but when it comes down to just plain “Pootch.” he is one of the most popular fellows in the class. He is really one of the most modest fellows, whether on the field or in the classroom. We are sure he will make a success in whatever he takes up. though we are not the only ones interested in him. for there is also a certain Ethel interested in his success. DOROTHY MELITTA HARTUNG “M“ Club 3, 4. Here’s a bashful young lady. Hut she will probably get over it like the rest of the girls. Dorothy can always be depended upon to back up her class and school. She wishes to enter the business world. 20 VIRGINIA WEIR HEAL M. Club 3; College Girl’s Club 4; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Ring Committee 4; Miss Bob White 1 Virginia is one of the most popular girls In the class. Her charming personality and good nature have captured manv hearts. If you have heard a queer noise during class period or in class meetings, you can be sure it was Virginia at her favorite sport of giggling. Hut then there is nothing like seeing the cheerful side of life. ETHEL HILLIARD We have here a shy little Miss, but all in all she has made a great many friends while at East, despite her shyness. Ethel is an earnest student and she has been rewarded for the interest she has taken in her studies. MARION INTRIERI Football 4; Glee Club 2, 3; Though “Mare” was not in many activities about the school, he was one of the most ardent supporters of the school teams. When the teams went on trips you would usually find “Mare” present at the game time, for he would alwavs be sure to think up some way of transportation. We are quite sure that he will make a capable storekeeper when he leaves school. EUGENE JANIS Art Club 1; Football 4; Junior Dramatics 1; Debating 4. Here is our reporter. Always on the jump for news, is the best way in which his actions can be described He reviews all our activities and his articles are a credit to his ability.

OPAL KEARNS “Behold our musical genius!” Opal came from Clarksburg. West Virginia, where she had an enviable reputation as a pianist and a music teacher.

Moreover, her ability is not confined altogether to commercial subjects for she has made a good record in academic work. also. THELMA LOUISE KRAEMER M Club 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 3, 4; French Club 2, 3, 4. Thelma is a friend with us all. and East feels sad to loose her. She has been taking the business course, and we are certain she has a promising future. HAROLD ALBERT KREBS Football 3, 4; Mam’zelle Taps 2; Out of the Air 4; Glee Club 1, 2; Spanish Club 1, 2. Stand in line, girls! You all will have a chance! This is the way “Dimples” has been going through life for the last four years. At times, he almost needs police protection when walking on State Street on account of hundreds of girls so anxious to meet him. Hut though popular with the fair sex he was also popular with the teachers (especially after school). HELEN ELIZABETH KREBS Dramatic Club 1, 2. This demure maiden has a sweetness about her which is essentially her own. Many young girls long for a faultless complexion such as Helen posesses. To manv people she may seem bushful. but thosr who know her best find her a jolly, good-natured girl. She is ahvavs friendly and helpful—that’s why we like her. 22 EDITH ELIZABETH KREIDER Glee Club 4; College Club 4; Although Edith has been with us but a short time. 8he is a congenial member of our class. After you have become acquainted with her. you will find a most sincere friend. We hope that the future holds a successful career in store for her. MARY ELIZABETH KUNZ College Club 4. Here is a girl with a smile and a cheerful word for evervone. Her thick auburn hair is the envy of many of the fairest sex. Mary has the charming habit of lapsing into French when English does not seem expressive enough to suit her. And. speaking of occupations, she certainly can marcel hair. MARTHA MARIE LANAGAN This demure little Miss has not devoted much time to outside activities, but has placed her mind on her lessons and won the praise and admiration of her teachers. Martha is always ready to take part in anything that will produce amusement for those surrounding her. It is the sinoere hope of the class that she will succeed. LAVINA IDA LANG Lavina fulfills all the requirements of a charming girl and a good pal. She is always bubbling over with fun, and her sunny disposition has won her many friends. We are not sure what she intends to do after leaving school . but—did you ever hear her talk about “Chuck”? No one who knows her well could have missed hearing about this young man. FANNY LAW Oifrt O’The Air 4. This voung lady is small in stature, but big in accomplishment. Fanny does her work in a very efficient manner. She posesses a keen sense of appreciation which is a rare thing in one so young. 23 FLOYD E. LAW Class Basketball 3, 4; Class Day Committee; Basketball 3; Hl-Y 3, 4; Tennis 3, 4; Golf 4; Sunrise Staff 3. Wherever a group of students are having a good time, there you will find Floyd.

He is another devotee of the golf clubs and is an accomplished player. JOHN CARLTON LUDWIG Hi-Y 3, 4; Swimming Team 1, 2; Orchestra 1, 2, 4; Claes Play Committee 4; Glee Club 2, 3. This jolly personage is well liked by everyone with whom he comes in contact. “Greet the world with a smile is John's slogan and we all agree that it is a good one. He will be remembered for his musical accomplishments—playing the violin. We have not heard much from him in the line of studies: but his perseverence is bound to put him on the road to success. KATHLEEN MARJORIE LUMB Spanish Club 1; M Club 2; Sunrise Staff 4 This sweet little English girl is the youngest member of our class. This, however, does not keep her from having an excellent record in both academic and commercial work. Give her a typewriter and watch her nimble fingers fly over the keys! We are certain that she will succeed in the business world. WILLIAM HOWARD MACIVOR Swimming 3; Football 3. Mac” is the lad who has more “lady friends” than any one here at East. Many are they who succumb to his charms. Which includes boys as well as girls. “Radio” and Dodges” are Mac’s hobbies and what he doesn’t know about one. he does about the other. Howard is also the proud brother of a sweet little baby s ster. If you could see her. you’d be proud, too. VALERIA SARAH McENERY Valeria is another one of our quiet girls. What a blessing they are—the girls who can do real work and not tell everybody about it! Like many quiet girls. Valeria makes an understanding and thoughtful friend. We wish her success in whatever she may undertake after leaving school. 24 CATHERINE MACHUGA Glee Club 4; Swimming 1, 2, 3, 4. Athletics seem to claim Catherine. The Swimming Team seems to realize her ability in this line. She has not made a big splur in other activities while at Fast, but we know that she is saving this energy for future undertakings.

ANNA JEAN MOZDY Anna is always ready with a smile and a joke. Her staunchness in friendship is known to all. We wish her success in her chosen line of work. FRANK LEO MOZDY Baseball 1, 3, 4; Debating Club 1. Here is one of the main reasons why we had a Championship senior baseball team last season. It was through Frank’s ability as a pitcher that the team was a great success. He has pitched many games to victory. His ability as a student should not go unmentioned, for Frank is one of the most studious boys in the whole school, as his teachers will testify. His efforts will not go unrewarded as he intends to go to college to become, we hear, an M. D. LEO FRANK MOZDY Swimming Team 1, , 3; Football 2; Track 2. Leo is best known to his classmates as a swimmer. In the past two years he was a member of our swimming team. This year, however, he has been using his spare time teaching the manly art of self defense at a prominent athletic club, where he has made himself respected by all who know him. He has not revealed his future intentions to us. 25 LOUISE MOZDY A sweet, winning, girl who radiates cheer and happiness is the best way we know to describe Louise. She left us at mid-year to enter the business world, and we are pleased to say that she is making good. LAVERNE MARY MURRAY Glee Club 4; M Club 4. When you're blue and looking for someone with a sunny disposition, scout up Laverne if you desire to laugh. Her smile is always visible, no matter what interferes with her plans. She is a very valuable friend to be able to claim, and it is a certainty that she will succeed in whatever she undertakes. ELIZABETH LOUISE NIEDZIELSKI Spanish Club 1; M Club 2.

Clovis has a most earnest and convincing manner about him. His efforts in debating have all been successful ones. This boy is another one of our cheer scattering Lawrence Park , commuters. Clovis owes a good deal of his success to the encouraging backing of Frances. To know Clovis is to have a sympathetic friend. GERTRUDE OBREZESKI Gertrude belongs to the silent pluggers. Her time while among us has been spent in doing her lessons well, and with this consistent doctrine she is bound to come out at the top of the ladder. 26 ELEANOR STUART OLIVER Claes day Com. 4; Dramatic Club 3, 4; Class Sec’y 4; College Girl’s Club 4. Eleanor has been with us for only two short years, not having seen the error of her way before. Her soft. Brown, eyes and winsome smile, have won her many friends. We don’t know what she is going to do when she leaves dear old East, but she’ll be far from a failure, that’s certain. ORIEN BAILEY PATCH Band 4; Orchestra 4. Orion came to us from South Side High School. Fort Wayne. Indiana, and proceeded to make a name for himself’through his ability as a trumpet player.

PLATE Debating 1. 2. 3, 4; Burns Contest 2; Constitution Contest 3; President Hi-Y 4: Hi-Y Clubs 3, 4; Sunrise Staff 3, 4; Business Manager 4. Here is the “Cicero of our class. H s personality is as convincing as are his orations. Howard is also a fine business man. as his work on the Annual testifies. To know Howard even a short time is to receive a lasting impression. We think Edith K. thinks so too. ANDREW JOSEPH PLUCINSKI Football 2; Swimming Team 2; Orchestra 1, 2. 3. Although not participating to any extent in athletics at East High. Andrew is a wrestler of high standing in the various amateur clubs of the city. His ability in this sport is not well known to many of us as wrestling is not among the school activities. He has devoted his school time entirely to study, and has succeeded very well in this. MARY MARLINE POLEO M Club 3; Miss Bob White 1; Dramatic Club 1. Mary is very quiet and demure, but she is very. very, sweet. She seldom says much, but when she does, it means something. She is sure to be successful in her undertakings. 27 GERTRUDE M. RECTENWALD M Club 4; Captain Crossbones 2; Glee Club 1, 2, 3; Mamzelle Taps 1. Seems as though Gertrude has a great attraction outside of Bast, which claims most of her spare time. We wonder who? She. nevertheless, has been very active while at Hast and has proved herself to be a loyal and true friend. The class wishes her success in her career. EARL PETER RENZ Stamp Club 1, 2; Track 2; Sunrise Staff 4; Ring Com. 4; Class Play 4. Here is one of Bast High’s artists!

In future years, we hope to hear more of him. WILLIAM RICART Folks this is ‘‘Bill”, “King of the Queens”! The fair sex is Bill’s most important subject. He is a good student also, and we know that he will succeed, even if his heart is sometimes crowded with thoughts of a certain someone. MARTHA RIETHMILLER Initiative and personality are two great assets which this young lady has. A good student, a loyal friend and a pleasing companion. Martha has indeed won the hearts of all with whom she has come in contact. We shall be sorry to lose her and will long remember her winning ways. MARY TERESA ROACH M Club 1; Glee Club 4. Queen of the Ivories! Mary sure can make the keys of the piano and the typewriter talk! She is a fine student. During her stay at East, Mary has won a large circle of friends. When she has left us. we know that she will continue to win more friends. The class wishes her success in whatever she attempts. 28 r—i ROBERT JOHN ROACH The pride of his teachers. Robert has never been known to enter a class without his lessons fully prepared and with a great deal of additional information. We know that if Robert attends college as he plans to do. that he will graduate with honors. MARY LUELLA RUSSELL Sunrise Staff 4. Luella. of the laughing eyes and happy smile, is a fun-loving girl. No outing or party is a success without her. Luella is a good student, and the prophesy has been made that she will make an ideal stenographer. The class of 27 wishes her success in her chosen profession. ELAINE SHIMEK Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Class Play 4; College Girls Club 4. This tall, fair maiden is the senior classes’ “song bird.” She has a lovely voice which should give her recognition in the music world. VIOLA MAE SCHNEIDER Glee Club 2, Class Play 4.

All in all Sarah is the sort of a girl we all look up to. 29 - ? t Ls n rp DOLORES SMITH Dolores is a quiet, reserved person who has turned her attentions entirely to seholorship. She is a verv cheerful girl and to know her. is indeed to like her. EDITH AUDELLE SMITH Spanish Club 1; Sunrise Staff 4. This raven-haired Miss is always good-natured and • ,un' is a ver v agreeable young girl and ever willing to help her friends. Edith s ambition is to become one of Erie’s foremost business women, and judging from 5®1; record in sc hool, we know she will attain success. Edith is also an artist of no little note. JAY CHARLES SMITH Cheer Leader 4; Track 3, 4. es, we 11 admit that he is quiet in class but vou ought to hear him lead cheers! Jay certainly can work up enthusiasm. He seldom shows his report card but then we give Jay credit for his modesty. JACK HERBERT SNYDER Jack is another member of our class who believes in Kipling’s advice. “It's the everlastin' pluggin’ of every bloomin’ soul that makes our world.” Science and Chemistry are “open books” to th's young man. We may know him later as Professor Snyder of Yale University.

We arc sure that when the doors of his Alma Mater close behind him. he will also be a leader in the great game of life. RUTH MARIE SPIECE Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Captain Crossbones 2. This somewhat quiet, blue-eyed lassie, is the friend of all who know her. She might be short but she’s sweet too. Ruth has not been minus ambition, and we feel certain she will prosper in her undertakings after she leaves East. THOMAS ALLAN STEELE Football 2, 3, 4; Class Basketball 4; Track 2: Band 1, 2; Spanish Club 1 Tommy is the class comedian, and he deserves the title. He can put on one of the cleverest little vaudeville acts you ever saw and without much concentration on his part. On the football team, he was one of the best defensive halfbacks we ever had. and we are sure that he will continue his good work when he leaves us to go to Penn State. KENNETH EUGENE STEWART Basketball 3, 4; Baseball 1; Tennis 1, 2, 3, 4; Spanish Club 2; Football 3. Kenneth has participated in sports to a great extent at East, being a member of this years basketball team and a tennis star of last years championship tennis team.. This elongated lad has won many friends at East who are going to miss him when he leaves his Alma Mater.

NADIA STUNDER Glee Club 2, 3. Nadia is a quiet studious Miss, and nevertheless she helps to keep the daily recitations rolling. She can enjoy fun as well as the rest of us.

Meet our all-round athlete, folks! 'Blubber” as he is popularly known about school, is one of the most versatile members of our class, through the fair sex has not as yet turned his head. He has been too busy winning football games, basketball championships, and smashing track records. In a couple of years he intends to be cutting Red Grange capers on some college gridiron. We are quite sure that he will bring more honor and glory to our Alma Mater. GERALD F. THOMPSON Stamp Club 1, 2; Band 1, 2, 3; Orchestra 1, 2. Jerry has not been with us as much as we would have liked to have had him. on account of his musical career. You never see him without a smile on his lips, and a clever saying at the tip of his tongue. HOWARD ELMER TINSMAN Band 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 1, 4. This young fellow is the leader of our peppy” band. He is another one of the excellent trumpeters of our class. His command of Play S. I. H. A.” was a frequent one when leading the band. We secretly maintain that he must have written it.

He never says much, but what he does say is worth listening to. This dark, curly-headed lad has no lack of friends at Hast, and all who are associated with him find that his friendship is of the true kind.

WILHELM This agreeable chap is well known for his ability to make friends. His quiet, genial, manner and his willingness to help at all times make him one of the most likeable fellows in the school. “Walt” is a determined plugger and we know that he will be the success in the business world that he has been while among us. CHARLES JOSEPH WITTMAN “Charlie” is one of the members of the Carney. Tins-man. and Wittman Co. Where you see one you usually see the other two. As far as the fair sex goes. Charley is usually first in line, but this does not prevent him from also being one of the first in line in scholastic ability. We are sure that he will make a capable coal dealer after he graduates from Notre Dame. FLORENCE HELEN WUENSCHEL Miss Bob White 1; Glee Club 1, 2; Dramatic Club 3; Florence is one of the girls the senior class is proud of. Her work has not been greatly noticed but a good record never goes without a reward. We only wish it was our privilege to award a suitable reward.

He is bound to make a mark in the world. 34 FRANCES ANN ANDREWS Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Girl's College Club 4; Captain Crossbones 3; Mamzelle Taps 1; President M Club 3.

DONALD WHITTMAN Don” is the fellow with the smile. He is a real gloom killer and a wonderful friend. With his joviality and friendliness, he is one of the best liked fellows in the class. If Donald comes, can Dimples be far behind. 35 Good-Bye Seniors J Good-bye to you Seniors, Farewell to your friends, Good luck and God bless you In life’s chosen work. We hope you’ll be happy Where’er you may be; And often when pounding The typewriter keys, Or rocking and singing The baby to sleep— In memory wander To good old East High, Where first you began All your knowledge to sprout. And Oh! the gay dances. And parties of yore. The hours of loit’ring And idling about. Then suddenly loomed up The great final test And you worked for a change Just as hard as you could. June came and you stood On the platform, in white; And each mother thought. With a thrill of delight, That her own sweet daughter Or son was the best. Then all of a sudden They called you by name, You started anc! blushed And with fright nearly died As they handed to you The long wished-for award Of four years of toil Unremitting and hard. And just as you thought You were happy and gay. There came a queer feeling Right next to your heart And you knew you were sad Because leaving behind. The friends of your school days. The pals of your youth. But partings will come And must bravely be borne So you brushed away tears And were happy once more. And now, with the hope That each dream will come true. Once more, farewell, Seniors, And good-luck to you. 36 GERTRUDE KRILL FOOD FORTHOUGHT -------------------------------------------- ,,-------------------------------------------------t 3A 0 . 37 12 B Juniors William Stout President Katherine O’Keefe Vice-President Alice Klund Secretary Alice Dorothy Edwin Mabel Anderson Bowes Doyle Fickenworth Marie Gibb Faith Gillis Mary Henry Llewellyn Howe Dora Lillard Mae Martin Howard Mattison James Morrison Leonard Swanson Wilford Swanson Grace Torrence Alice Wiercinski Harry Madsen T reasurer Herbert Forsberg Ethel Levick Arthur Peterman Grant Williams 39 1 9 3 7 By Alice K!und It was Easter time! How glad I would be to spend an Easter at home. I reflected on my worldly possessions, and decided a few clothes would improve me vastly. I sauntered into one of those chic little Fifth Avenue Modiste Shoppes, lured by dainty window display. A snappy little person moved briskly up to me and demanded, Well, Miss Klund, what can 1 do for you? Imagine my surprise! I decided New York must be pretty small after all. 1 looked again, and no—you wouldn’t believe it but it was Dora Lillard. She was just bubbling over with news and curiosity. Yes, she had been there just a year and liked it heaps. But don’t miss the Hippodrome, quoth she, Llewellyn Howe is one of the famous Gallagher-Shean team, and Mae Martin is the leading ballet. Absolutely not, 1 said, 1 have just been to the airplane field watching Edwin Doyle give a demonstration of trick aviation. It was great, and not at all slow, and by the way, Harry Madsen has acquired quite a talent of oratory. Only the other day 1 heard him give a very eloquent speech on Why Erie is a good place to live in. Having completed my purchase, 1 regretfully said goodby and returned to my hotel to pack. Next morning I arose bright and early, and sped away in my trusty little Chevrolet Coupe for home. It was a glorious morning and I just ate up the miles—too fast, 1 fear, for having gone by way of Buffalo, a blue uniform handed me the address of the court. I tremblingly approached the judge and began answering questions, when I perceived a twinkle in the eyes of this dignified personage. Strange, 1 thought and scrutinized him minutely. Of all things, it was Hon. James Morrison! Excused on the grounds of being a stranger, but don’t let it happen again, said an amused voice. Same to you, I thought. We dined together that evening and he related some of his experiences. Buffalo was having a great deal of trouble with the Williams political ring. It was very powerful, and had been able to put William Stout in the United States Senate by its influence. Although Mr. Stout was an excellent man, the Williams’ policies were against the present regime. He also stated that a week or so ago he had granted the former Mary Ellen Henry a divorce. After promising me a big surprise on the morrow, he persuaded me to stay over. The next morning he escorted me up to a pretty building bearing the sign, Miss Shirley's Dramatic Studio . It meant nothing to me, but 1 obediently entered. After a brief wait, an impishly modish human appeared, in the person of Ethel Levick. Three cheers, I exclaimed, this is a happy surprise. James excused himself and we two spent a happy morning together. Guess what, she said, Wilfred Swanson is a typical absent minded professor at Hiram now, and Alice Wiercinski is the matron of the huge Home for the Friendless here. I took to the open road at noon, happy, free, the world before me. As I approached Erie there were flaring announcements of the morrow’s circus on every bill-board. Something familiar about one of the names attracted me, so when I approached the next, I slowed down. It read, Kitty O’Keefe, famous acrobat, to perform daring feats. I’m not surprised, I remarked to myself. I hastened homeward, and in the course of the conversation with the folks, gathered that a college was being built in Erie, and that Herbert Forsberg was Chief Engineer. Miss Anderson now owned the former Werner Flower Shoppe, and was doing a flourishing business. Also discovering that Mr. Ray was superintendent of schools, I decided to trot a along and have a chat with him. He gave me quite a few tips on my classmates. Dorothy Bowes had received a position as gym instructor at Academy, and Marie Gibb, as Kindergarden teacher at the new Coolidge grade school. He excused himself to answer the phone and as the conversation was rather lengthy 1 turned to the sport page of the morning paper. In flaming headlines was, Howard Mattison, former East High athlete, joins Giants. There followed a long list of his accomplishments and his prospects on the team. There was also an article on, The Small Fellow Has a Chance , by A. Peterman, celebrated Harvard Coach. I soon bade Mr. Ray goodbye and made a surprise call on Marie. We surely had a delightful time and she had more to tell. Leonard Swanson was chauffeur for Henry Ford, but she said it was rather a shaky position. Mabel Fickenworth was a private secretary out at the General Electric, and Faith Gillis was happily married. We looked over the theatre bills for a suggestion as to entertainment, and found Grace Torrance was listed as the famous Prima Donna, to appear in Rose Marie. Marie looked at me rather amusedly until she provoked the ejaculation, “Well whats the matter? To think you turned out a woman suffragist, she chuckled, and then burst into irrepressible glee. She calmed down shortly and soothed me by saying it hadn’t hurt my disposition a bit. We spent a charming evening together at the Park. 40 Class of 1928 Five years! Doesn't that seem like ages? But it really has been that long since a great part of the Class of 1928 first entered East H gh. These years have passed quickly and have endeared our Alma Mater to all our hearts. We passed our first two years here quite unnoticed. Nobody seemed to take any particular interest in our presence or in what we were doing and yet we felt quite proud to be numbered among the students of a high school. Finally after two uneventful years we at last became Freshmen. It was hardly believable! Had we actually become a part of a real high school? Oh! that short lived enthusiasm! After a few weeks we sank back to our former insignificant place. Another year of routine, but after that—Sophomores. At the beginning of this year, our number was greatly increased by the students from Lawrence Park. No longer were we so small. Little by little our classmates began to take part in all the school s activities. Now we are Juniors, wearing, for the space of one short year, this new title, to the best of our ability. During this year we have enthusiastically supported all the teams and activities both by spirit and by providing excellent material. Soon we will assume a new role—that of Seniors. When we were just entering high school, we watched the action of those before us. Let us hope that we will be able to do as well as those who have gone before us, and be fitting guides to those who follow. 41 GRACE OBERMANNS.—'28 42 Junior Class Howard Rose Mae Martin Paul Sweeney Grace Obermans President Vice Pres.

During the past year we have supported our school well and we are proud of it. The Sophomore Class has been well represented at all the football and basketball games and the swimming meets, as well as on all the squads of athletic activities. We have also among us members of the Orchestra and the Glee Clubs. Next year we hope to support our school with much more vigor than we have this year. Last October when we first met as the Sophomore Class the following officers were elected: President ............................ James De Tuerk Vice President .................... Harold Arrowsmith Secretary-Treasurer .................. Bernice Clouser The faculty advisers elected were Mr. Powell and Miss Buelens. Next year will find us in our Junior year. After the Seniors have graduated and the Juniors have advanced a step forward, we shall be ready to step forward and take the places left vacant by those before us and achieve greater and nobler success. ORVILLE 1WIG—29 Class of 1930 Our message hails from a graduating class at least three years in the future Most of us have been going about our daily routine here at school for several years. However, as the class of 1926 was graduating, pupils were seen scurrying from all directions. These, of course were known by all to be those freshies , the class of 1930. We have done our best to make ourselves endurable and we have certainly been treated squarely by all. The class of which I am speaking has contributed to every enterprise in which East High has participated—football, basketball, baseball, track, debating and especially in music. We have successfully launched our new organization— Junior Dramatics,” said to be the only school group of this kind in the city. This class has been very successful and has helped much towards the entertainment of the school. Ye Freshman Class Crier signing off! 55 JOHN O.

The machinery for wood-working such as band saw, circular saw, planing-machine and work benches are in one section of the room. In the other parts of the shop may be found the printing press, and the sheet-metal machinery. A great number of boys can be taken care of in the General Shop and under the instruction of Mr. W. O. Anderson and Mr. W. C. Jordan, they are trained in the pre-vocational trades. There is a great advantage in allowing the boys to participate in the three or four trades and then follow the one which appeals to them. This method has been very successful and is carried out every year. The seventh and eighth grade boys are the participants in the General Shop and the one important lesson which they learn above all, is self-reliance, a valuable ally in their life. AUTO SHOP The Auto Repair Trade Course is a two-year vocational course instituted in the high schools to give students inclined towards that type of work a definite idea of what they will be concerned with, if they desire to follow this trade. By starting in the auto shop the student can see for himself whether or not he is adapted to such a trade. If he finds that he is, he will continue and obtain a firm beginning in the trade. If he is not thus inclined he may be advised of the fact and he may then try some other course. This course enables one to actually take part in repair work because of the wonderful facilities that are offered. The shop work is carried on in a typical garage. Cars are brought in which are in need of repair and the instructor. Mr. Thomas, is thus able to actually demonstrate the work before the very eyes of the boys, or he may leave the job to them under his direction, which is very practical. We can see then that no better way could be designed to acquaint the trade course students with their future work and surroundings than by the method stated above. Not only is the student educated in his future business, but he is given a firm foundation in English, science, mathematics and history. If at the end of two years when he has completed his trade course the boy washes to continue in school, he is given credit for two years high school and has the opportunity of not only graduating from his trade course but also from high school. The Auto Shop at East High has been a success from all stand-points. The trade is popular and many boys have taken the opportunity to start their apprenticeship here. Many of the boys who have taken this course are already on the road to success, a great deal of which they owe to their high school training. 60 MACHINE SHOP The Machine Shop is another popular trade course offered at East High. A large number of students take part in this course every year; quite a few have already been graduated, after finishing the two year course. Jobs are procured for all those who receive certificates. In order to gain a certificate the pupil must have attained a grade of 85 percent in shop work and 75 percent in related subjects, at the end of the course. The shop is fully equipped and very modern. All necessary machinery and tools are at the disposal of the students so that nothing is lacking to promote the advancement of the boy taking this course. As a part of the machine shop practice, many of the tools used in the shop are made by the students. Every article made is usable. The jobs outlined for the students by the instructor, Mr. H. L. Cotter, are such that the project, no matter how small, can be put to use after it is completed. However, the student’s work is not all in the shop, one-half of the prescribed course consisting of academic studies. Thus the boy not only has the practical work in the Machine Shop, but he gains a solid foundation in academic work as well. If the student graduates and obtains a certificate, he will readily be granted a position by any of the various shops in the city where he can finish his apprenticeship. However, with two years of vocational Machine Shop to his credit, the boy will advance more easily and rapidly than if he had no previous experience and training. A large number of boys have delved into the Machine Shop trade and taken advantage of the wonderful opportunities which it has to offer. Many boys have graduated, and aided by their vocational Machine Shop practice, have made good. PLUMBING A practically new trade course at East High is plumbing. It was instituted two years ago, so the first class graduates this year, and judging from the way the boys are attracted to it, the course is becoming very popular. Under the tutelage of Mr. Rainsford the boys obtain two years of practical training and a thorough knowledge of the principles contained in the trade. Their practical work, which covers half of the prescribed course, consists of actual plumbing either on make-up jobs or in doing work around the school. The make-up jobs are carried on in a frame house constructed in the shop for this purpose. It is here that the students learn to be self-reliant. Under the observation of the instructor they are given actual jobs to do, and it is in this way that their faults and weaknesses can be pointed out and corrected. The plumbers have advanced very well during their two years and evidences of their work may be found around the shop wing of the school. Many of them already have positions lined up and know where their high school training will stand them in good and give them a start in life. TAILORING The course in tailoring has been very successful. There is no trouble finding students to take the course, and the classes each year are filled to capacity with future tailors. Mr. Fritts, the instructor, is an experienced tailor, and his systematic way of teaching has worked to perfection. The boys begin at the very bottom of the trade, learning first how to hold a needle and thimble. They are taught the various stitches next and advance in this way until they are capable of making a suit of clothes. It is no unusual thing for many of the boys to make themselves suits, trousers and the like. By doing this they learn their trade and in turn are making use of what they make. Tailoring, like the other trade subjects is a two year course. When the pupil graduates, his diploma aids him in securing a position where he can finish his apprenticeship. After he has completed his apprenticeship he is ready to open up a tailoring establishment of his own or secure a position in some tailor shop. DRAFTING This course is perhaps one of the most popular of the trade courses. Every year a number of the students who have already taken pre-vocational drafting, continue in the trade drafting class of which Mr. Jeffery is the instructor. In the two allotted years, the boys become very proficient draftsmen and on graduation, a position is secured for them where they can finish their apprenticeship. The Drafting Shop at East is very well fitted for training the pupils. All the necessary drafting instruments, desks, etc. are available, and when the boys finish the course they have a good foundation and are ready to continue elswhere. Many boys who have graduated from the drafting course are now working out their apprenticeship, while others have finished and have the positions they were working for. 61 VJHPvT l JHft-? ’--------- ’ ANYONE PASSING MISS BOOTH'S PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS WOULD THINK A TURKEY FARM IS PRESIDING THERE finish I THl-b FELLOW --------1 HAS A SIX CYLINDER BRAIN, .

The football team, though not realizing their ambition of winning a City Championship, made a very creditable showing with the tough opposition that they met. We hope that our cherished ambition will be realized next fall as we have a number of first string lettermen back and the prospects look very good to win it. Our basketball team this year, though not doing as famously as the fine team of a year ago, won the District Championship defeating Franklin, one of the leading contenders of this part of the State, and as only two lettermen were back from last year, much credit must be given the team as a whole. With four lettermen back next year, our prospects look good for another championship team. East also predominated in baseball, winning every game and the City Championship, and while the girls were winning out in swimming, the Junior Basketball team was copping the City Championship. As we go to press, the Baseball team is sweeping everything before it, while the Track team, though an undecided issue, is quite sure of coming back and making as creditable a showing as its predecessors have done. 64 Top left Cyril Sullivan Football Captain Bottom left George Leingang Basketball Manager Top right Edmund Finucane Football Manager Bottom right Cyril Sullivan Basketball Captain 65 Oe'.ow Above Side Jack Komoro Gui Anderson Walter Anderson Asst. Coach Head Coach Athletic Advisor 66 Gus Anderson Gus is head coach at East High and we cannot thank him enough for the wonderful teams he has given our school. In five years of labor at East he has coached basketball teams of national recognition and football and track teams of state fame. Our cherished hope is that he will have unusual success with his teams next year. Jack Komora Jack has been our assistant coach for the past three years. He has coached a number of Junior Championship teams and has been a great help to the football team. The class of '2 7 extend their heartiest good wishes that he will be back again with us next year. Walter 0. Anderson Mr. Anderson, as Faculty Manager of Athletics, is one of the ablest men you could find to fill this important position and through his earnest efforts our athletic teams have sailed serenely over the sea of financial difficulties. Through his fine work as Faculty Manager, he has become very popular with the whole student body. 67 Football History Now that the strenuous footbail season has been closed for a number of months, let us review the season of ups and downs. Though this year s team did not make such a splendid record as some of their predecessors, they showed the football fans of Erie that it was one of the greatest fighting teams that the school has ever produced. As before, the usual training took place late in August, at De Tuerk’s farm, east of Harborcreek. This was the last camp the fellows ever had and it certainly helped to put them in condition. After another month of getting into condition. East opened its season with Oil City as its opponent. It was a nip and tuck affair all the way until the final quarter when An- derson intercepted a pass and raced forty yards for a touchdown, which gave Oil City the game by a six to nothing score. A week later, the team journeyed to Niagara Falls to meet the cataract boys. A number of our regulars were on the injured list for this game and Captain “Blub Sullivan played through three quarters of the game so sick he could hardly stand up and it was really sickness that caused our defeat by a score of thirteen to nothing. On October 16, Warren came to play us in the morning on account of the college game in the afternoon. This game proved to be our first win of the season and the game was won just before the first half was over when Harold Sullivan raced forty yards around end for a touchdown. Our next game was not till two weeks later when the team journeyed over to Youngstown for a two day trip, to play South High. This was really the first time that we had the regular team playing together. Two eighty yard runs, one by ‘’Skeets’’ Peterman and the other by Harold Sullivan were the features of the game. “Skeets” backed up by a perfect interference, ran back a punt to the five yard line where he was downed, but the Scarlet and Gray could not advance against the stone wall defence of the Buckeyes. But a few minutes later, Harold Sullivan did a beautiful piece of broken field running and raced eighty yards for East High’s only score. The finai score was twelve to six in favor of South High. The following Friday our Scarlet and Gray warriors locked horns with the Youngstown East Eleven and though East showed superiority throughout, Youngstown put up a plucky fight, and at times had East showing their best. But as soon as Harold Sullivan and Art Peterman were injected into the fray, the fellows showed renewed fight and finally walked off with a thirteen to nothing score. The following was the game of all games, and it proved to be one of the biggest upsets of the season. Going into the game against Academy as heavy underfavorites, our fellows showed the Hill School just what the Eastsiders were made of and outplayed Drake’s men for three quarters of the game and in the final quarter after four of our regulars were taken out on account of injuries, the four subs showed just as great fight in helping to hold Academy on the one yard line for four downs, which finally ended the game in a scoreless tie. After a week and a half of idleness, East High locked horns with Central in the final game of the season on Thanksgiving day. This was the game to decide whether or not we were to tie Academy for the City Chimoionship. With “Alloy” and “Blub” Sullivan on the injured list and Harold Sullivan and “Skeets” Peterman playing with injured shoulders it was a hard thing to do much against Central and especially on the mud laden field. Central must be given just credit for the plucky fight they put up for going into the game as under-favorites. This game rang down the curtain on the 1926 football season. Fast will lose several men through graduation next year and it will be a hard job to replace such men as Captain “Blub” Sullivan, Harold Sullivan, Peterman, Arrowsmith, Steele, Binning, Hart and others. Next year’s team will include many lettermen of this year, and will be led to victory by Captain-elect Mike Komora. 69 Basketball Team £53 0= =3 r The Paramount Sport THE PARAMOUNT SPORT In the five years that Gus Anderson has been head coach, East has been represented by very good teams in every branch of athletics. In considering this however, we must turn to basketball as the sport in which we have been unusually successful. It is through basketball that we have made the name we have in athletics, and it might well be called the paramount sport. The season of 1922-23 was in a way one of organization. Then it was that we received our first instruction in Gus Anderson's system. The high light of the season was when we defeated Central’s great team on their court. This was the only game they had lost on their own court in several seasons. In 1923-24 we won our first city championship and finished as runners-up with Oil City for the district title. We again won the city title in 192 -25 and in addition the N. W. P. I. A. title for our section. We lost to Uniontown for the Western Pennsylvania championship. The season of 1925-26 was our biggest one. The city honors went to us for the third time and we were again North Western Pennsylvania champions. After that we met our rivals Uniontown High for the honor of going to Penn State. This memorable battle will live long in the memory of every East student, for we trounced Uniontown 32-14, and won our way to the state tournement. Here we came through to the state finals against Nanticoke and lost a heart rending game. During this season we won twenty-four games out of twenty-six played and had the honor of being runners-up for the state championship. Prospects for a winning team in 1926-27 looked anything but bright with but one regular back from the great team of the year before. Under the masterful guidance of Coach Anderson a team was produced which won the district title. We were eliminated at the Grove City Tournament for sectional championship. The season on the whole was successful for we won fifteen out of eighteen games. With the splendid records of past teams to inspire us, and with the superb coaching we have, we should strive to even better our records in the past, and fulfill our earnest desire expressed in that slogan, “On to Chicago. Following is the record of this years team:— East East East East East East East East East East East East East East East East East East High. High .... High — High ..... High ... High ... High .....

The Scarlet and Gray have suffered only three defeats this season. The first one administered on our own hard-wood, was the first defeat suffered by East on its own floor in three years. When the season opened. Coach Gus Anderson had two lettermen from last years great team--“Blub” Sullivan who played guard last year and “Pug” Mahoney. But what happened? Gus built a team around these two Irishmen, that made the fans sit back and gasp for breath. The more notable victories of the team were victories over Franklin, for section 3, N. W. P. I. A. A., one victory over Central and two over Academy, besides decisive victories over Youngstown, Chaney, Farrel, and Oil City. Central was the only team that defeated us more than once and deprived us of the City Title for the fourth year in succession. Brookville was the other team to defeat us in the game to decide the North Western Pennsylvania Championship. Pug” Mahoney was the high scorer of the team and the real treat for all visiting teams. East’s opponents always prepared for “Pug” ahead of time and he had capable running mates in Captain “Blub” Sullivan and “Kenny” Stewart. Harold Sullivan, our center, and ‘Howie” Mattison were our defensive men and certainly were a source of trouble to all our opponents aspiring to high scores. “Skeets” Peterman, our diminutive upper floor man was also a source of trouble to visiting guards with his snake-like antics under the basket, and it was “Skeets” who sewed up the game for us against Franklin. Leingang, our erstwhile playing manager and Emling must not be forgotten when it comes to dishing out credit for they could perform with the best of them and we expect to hear great things of them next year. The game in which the fellows showed their real worth was the game with Franklin, in the Allegheny College gym, for the sectional Championship. Going into the game on an even basis with “Treadwill’s Terrors” or the Franklin “Steam Rollers” or whatever you may wish to call them, they literally swept the nurserymen off their feet and Mahoney completely smothered them with his pretty side court shots and walked away with a 21-17 verdict. About 500 Erie fans made the trip to Meadville to see the game and they were certainly well pleased with the way East defeated the downtowners. The final game of the season for East was at Grove City Tournament in which it was defeated by Brookville, a very capable bunch of ball-passers from down State. It was the worst defeat the Scarlet and Gray have suffered this season, bowing down to defeat by a score of 29-13. The team this year, though not going as far as last year’s team, must be given credit for the way in which they have thrown aside all handicaps and next year the fellows are determined to win the State Championship and then, On to Chicago.” We will lose a number of our stars through graduation, such as: Captain “Blub” Sullivan. Harold Sullivan. Stewart, and Peterman but with Pug” Mahoney, Howie Mattison, Leingang and Emling to start with, Gus expects to round out a great team next year. 72 The Importance and Advantages of “Track and Field” Athletics. Just as the liberal arts courses are the foundation of a thorough education, so it is that track and field events are all important in the development of the highest type of high school athletes. Events such as running, jumping and throwing are natural or God given events and the average healthy high school pupil, if given freedom of thought and action, will instinctively and unhesitatingly lean towards or take part in track and field sports. Every High School should make provisions for and encourage competitive track and field athletics. The advantages afforded the athlete who trains for and competes in any of the standard field events are of physical, mental and moral nature, and while seldom thoroughly appreciated, should not be overlooked. This sport is clean, invigorating, and body building. The athlete can train for an event all by himself on a schedule allowing from a half hour to an hour’s work each day and this work can be done at a time convenient to other more important and necessary duties. The incentive and desire to become mentally busy and to make a keen and intelligent study of an event if developed immediately, the athlete becomes aware of the importance of correct form, rhythm, harmony and timing of action, together with the co-ordination of brain, muscle and eye. As a developer and “requirer” of high moral courage, track and field athletics lead all branches of sport. Self denial, self reliance, self control and a display of poise must be carried out to the nth degree in training for and competing in track sports. In reality the demands track and field training make upon the athlete are the big advantages the sport has to offer the high school student. 73 NAT. J. CARTMELL. Track Coach Pennsylvania State College Track Team =9 F5=3 g£§ S=E2 fesa F5nl £S TRACK Although the Scarlet and Gray did not win City Honors, they took second place in both the District Meet and the City Triangular Meet and also defeated Central in a dual meet by a lopsided score. Though the squad was small, it was a well-developed team and its members were two district champs— Alloy , whose specialty is the 440 and Blubber Sullivan in the discus. In the first competition of the season, which was the District Meet, Alloy walked away from the field in the 440 and Blubber in the discus while the rest of the team scored enough points to bring East up into second place. The next week at Bucknell College, in the State Meet, Alloy took fourth place in the 440 doing it in 52 seconds flat while Blubber took fifth in the discus, heaving the oval well over the 1 00 foot mark. The dual meet with Central was all one-sided for East but in the Triangular clash, the Scarlet and Gray met with some tough luck, especially in the first number when Tommy Dowler fell on the first hurdle and from then on it was mostly all Academy. The following are the men who made their letters:— Captain Thomas Dowler, Cyril Sullivan, Charles Tucker, James Morrison, James DeTuerk, Walter Heubel, Bernard Ring, Grant Williams, Manager. 75 Cyril Sullivan Here we have Blubber, athlete extraordinary and captain all over. In addition to his many triumphs he has won the sectional title at throwing the discus. A great athlete if there ever was one, and a fellow who is destined to make the world sit up and take notice, in years to come. He placed in the discus event at the State finals held at Bucknell. 76 iVlois Skoneszka “Alloy is the district record holder in the 440. A novice at running, he displayed marvelous ability and climaxed the season by placing in his event at the state championship at Bucknell. The Flying Pole”, as he is called has left us now, but he will be remembered for his athletic ability. 77 The Tennis Champions Standing—Law, Stewart Inset—Captain Arthur Peterman Seated—Cardot, Peterman 78 TENNIS For the first time in the history of the school, East High captured the City Tennis Title. This was made possible only through the good work of Captain Peterman, Cardot, Stewart, and Law. • Our first match in quest of the longed-for title was with Central and was a veritable walkaway for the Scarlet and Gray racquet wielders. The final score was six to one. In meeting Academy, East High was going up against the toughest opponents of the season and it was only through their fighting determination that they finally won out. At the end of the City Series, Captain “Skeets Peterman was presented with the Harold Whiting Cup, emblematic of the City Championship. With Law and Stewart back again with us, we are hoping to annex 79 another City Title. Senior Baseball Team Left to right, upper left, C. Sullivan, F. Mozdy, T. Dowler, E. Williams, E. Clouser, A. Peterman, H. Rose, C. Downing. Center, G. Williams, Captain. With the return of baseball to the sport calendar. East again assumed its former place as city champions. The school was represented by a very well balanced team and we are indeed proud of Captain George Williams and his undefeated diamond stars. Following is the record:— East ... - 1 1 Kanty College Fn ft S East 24 .... Acarl( rny Fast 17 East 10 80 Boys’ Swimming Team The boys’ swimming team had some hard luck this year and did not find themselves until late in the season when it was too late. The team took third place in the regular schedule with Academy and Central but the water-polo team threw a scare into the other camps, especially in the second round when they defeated Central handily several times. Coach Jack Komora had to depend mostly on two veterans. Bill Carney and Bill Carter and these are the only men he will lose through graduation. We hope that with the experience the other members of the team have gained this year, they will capture the City Championship next year. 81 The Girls' Basketball Team ---- m----- After a lapse of several years, Girls’ Basketball has again come into its own and though meeting some tough opposition, our team caried off the City Championship for the first time in the history of the school. In the first game of the season, the Scarlet and Gray girls were defeated by Central by a close score, but in the next game, it was all one-sided for East High. The team stepped out of their class on a number of occasions, and will be practically intact for next season so here’s hoping that they retain the City Championship and bring more glory to the portals of our Alma Mater. 82 Girls Swimming Team Our Mermaids are deserving of the highest praise, for they have won the City Title for the third consecutive year. 83 Our Principal in action. Mr. Ray is keenly interested in Athletics and especially in tennis, where the same rare judgment and ability that have made him a popular Principal, go to make him a top-notcher at the court game. 84 Wearers of the E” Art Arrowsmith Kenneth Binning Jimmy De Tuerk Jerry Emling Roman Jablonski Harold Sullivan “Pug” iMahoney FOOTBALL Cyril Sullivan, Captain Ed.

This time it is for Junior Basketball. This year’s Junior Team has broken a record of long standing, that of Lincoln's fifteen wins to one defeat for a season, while our team this year went through the season without a de feat to mar their good work. Sixteen straight wins! The youngsters are holding up the traditions of the famous varsity teams that East has produced and are deserving of all the credit they can get. The wonderful record made by the team is due to the great extent to the splendid coaching of Jack Komora. His work in this line is worthy of the highest praise. The members of the team are to be congratulated for the manner in which they worked and for the spirit that was in evidence throughout the entire season. The following is the record of the champions: East 33 Roosevelt 27 East 37 Academy 27 East 37 26 East 44 Gridley 19 East 23 Roosevelt 15 East 29 Academy 25 East 22 16 East 35 Gridley 19 East 29 9 East 2 Academy (Forfeit) 0 East 37 22 East 20 Gridley 1 1 East 27 ....

Jack certainly had a lot o1 sluggers under his wing and it would do any major league scout good to watch these youngsters clout the horsehide out of the park. They were defeated only twice all season and then by such close scores that their opponents certainly knew they were in battle. Quite a few of these youngsters have graduated to the varsity and expect to help carry the Scarlet and Gray banner on the City Championship. But there is still a number of regulars left from last year’s team and we expect to win another City Championship. The prospects certainly do look bright. 88 89 BRIDGES By HOWARD PLATE Burns Oratorical Contest First Prize Oration The origin of the term bridge is difficult to trace,- as the art of bridge-building itself is so old that its beginning goes back to the days of primitive man. Bridges were built by the most ancient races known to history; the wooden-beam type apparently having been the only kind known to the ancients until the Roman age. The Romans used the arch very extensively in bridge construction, their best specimens existing today in the great aqueducts built in Italy, France, and Spain. In their empire building, the Romans were constantly in need of bridges, which over-taxed their engineering ability. To meet this military need, they used the hastily constructed pontoon bridge, by means of which Caesar baffled the northern tribes of Gaul. Some bridges have become famous in history due not to their magnificent structures, but to their connection with certain events in which the world has become interested. It was at the Concord Bridge that the colonial minutemen repelled the British regulars in 1775, and, as Emerson states, “Fired the shot heard around the world,’ beginning the war for American independence. “And time the ruined bridge has swept, Down the dark stream that seaward creeps.” Today, not far from the scene of Arnold’s treason, there has been constructed over the beautiful Hudson the magnificent Bear Mountain Bridge which connects New York with the New England States. A generation ago when the East River was spanned by the famous Brooklyn Bridge, our engineers little thought that the deep and treacherous Hudson would some day be conquered. I Yet material bridges of any age, however great and splendid, will in time crumble and cease to be of service. The bridges that will stand are those of human life. These structures are built not for an age or generation, but for eternity. Thus a firmer foundation is needed in their construction. Assuredly they too are just as intricate in their design as any suspension or cantilever span. Education is the first great bridge that crosses the stream of ignorance and leads to success. One who does not possess a thorough education does not have the opportunity to forge ahead as rapidly as the one who has developed his mind. A century ago education was open only to the rich, who, consequently, had the opportunity to withdraw from the common highway and to travel where few had gone; but today, with our system of public schools, every boy and girl in the land may cross that bridge of knowledge which may disclose the hidden beauties of the valleys or may point to the height of the mountain peak. HOWARD PLATE 90 Some of the inventions of history have served as arches of this great bridge of education over which the entire world has crossed. Such was the developing of printing. It has lifted mankind out of the mire of ignorance; it has made possible a wide diffusion of knowledge. The ideas of the master thinkers have become the ideas of all. It would be difficult to try to picture all of the results of this invention, or of the many others which have enriched civilization. There is not an electrical process now in use but bears the mark of some great change made by the most ingenious of Americans— Thomas A. Edison. Not only does he concern himself with those things that may be of value today, but in the future as well. This arch of science will be of service long, long after the electrical wizard has passed into eternity. The second structure is one which each individual is building—The Bridge of character. This one each must build for himself. The beams of courage, of steadfastness, of hope, of brotherly love, of cheerfullness, or of their opposites, are added hour by hour, day by day. If the bridge is well constructed, it will stand the tests of years; but if it contains flaws and weaknesses it will fail to carry the loads that will be forced upon it. The third and probably the greatest bridge that can be constructed! is that of service. Many are the lives which have been sacrificed to lead ignorant races to a higher standard of living, to hold a new light, which when accepted, will span the gulf of eternal darkness. You will recall that David Livingstone traveled into the heart of the continent of Africa, and there for thirty three years ministered to the needs of that ignorant race. Was not such a bridge as this well worth building? Yet according to Tennyson, “All experience is an arch, where through gleams that untraveled world. These bridges of human life embracing education, character, and service are but few of the many which civilization has utilized to form the magnificent structure, the great bridge, to which each individual must add his mite, and over which he must pass before he glimpses the eternal city. An old man going a lone highway. Came at the evening cold and gray. To a chasm vast and deep and wide. And built a bridge to span the tide. Old man, said a fellow pilgrim near, You are wasting your strength by building here; Your journey will end with the ending day; You never again will pass this way.” The builder lifted his old gray head, Good friend, in the path I have come There followeth me after today, A youth whose feet must pass this way.” This chasm that has been naught to me. To that fair haired youth may a pitfall be: He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building this bridge for him. 91 CRISPETTES By Hyacinth Yaple 111 Editor’s Note—This essay was published in the April issue of the “Magazine World.” Tonight I am old. Yes, as old as the hills that have faced the glory of the sunrise and the fury of the storm for century upon century. I am as old as the sea—the sea that has sung lullabys to Mother Nature since the world began. I am as old as the dew that has come each morning to bathe the eyes of the universe with hope. Tonight I am tired. The winter is nearly over, and underfoot the snow is melting. Overhead the full moon shines down in inscrutable silence. From every window comes a path of soft light. The wind is warm and soft, and yes! it is full of the promise of Spring. Down the street comes a little figure, which 1 perceive to be a small boy with a huge basket almost twice his size. Can it be? Yes, it is. It is a boy selling Crispettes. Cris-pettes! Magic Name! My blood leaps within its veins. My eyes glow, and the spirit of mischievous delight pervades my whole being. Tonight I shall not be old—I shall buy crispettes! I am a child again! A little, laughing, carefree, happy child. Circus day is here. I feel again the warm, slippery dime clenched tightly in sticky fingers—the dime that wouldi buy crispets. As the recollection of that old feeling comes back to me, and drugs my senses with its gipsy-like delights, I throw discretion to the winds. With merry laugh I stop the small boy and buy as many packages of crispettes as 1 can possibly carry. Tonight I am no longer old, but young. The little crispette vender and I have a glorious secret. I feel as swaggeringly happy and blustering as Captain Kidd may have felt when he sailed the Seven Seas in ships of gold. Yes! Tonight I am no longer old but young. Crispettes! Such a ridiculous, childish sort of a name. Yet for me it holds the power of suggestion. It calls back happiness, and joy, and delight. It is the world that hold the gates of memory ajar, through which I glimpse my childhood—through which I can see goblins, and fairies, and pirates bold. It is such an insignificant little word—but oh! it means so much. That is the way with life. Each thing, be it ever so tiny, has a purpose, and that purpose, the real purpose, is to bring happiness or comfort to somebody else. Crispettes! To someone else it may mean nothing, but to me it means memory. And oh! Could we live without memory? IN THE GARDEN She was a little beauty So tall and slender too. With pinkest of complexions And two lips of crimson hue. He was a proud young fellow With velvet coat of blue, A kind and understanding eye A kindly way about him too. They met in an old fashioned garden Without a single word,— She was a young spring tulip, And he was a little blue bird. 92 THEODORA SOMMER A DISSERTATION ON CHERRY PIE By Marshall Cross Mankind, states an old English manuscript, which I recently unearthed from an ancient chest which stands in the darkest corner of an old farmhouse attic, for centuries looked upon that delectable palate-tickling fruit, called cherry, as the most poisonous fruit that ever survived the great Flood. It was accounted even more efficacious than the apple which Adam devoured in the Garden of Eden. Such was its sinister notoriety that no man, no matter to what degree of starvation he had progressed, would venture to touch even the bark of this ill-reputed tree. But such a delicious, soul-satisfying dessert as cherry pie could not for ever remain undiscovered. This, says the old manuscript, is how the finest of all pies was discovered. Old King Halidom, regent of Kent, was surrounded by hundreds of ambitious, plotting conspirators. The master schemer of them all was one, Grover, Prime Minister to the King. Now this sly fellow had tried every possible means to rid the state of Halidom and place himself in power. But Halidom, with more wit than posterity generally accredits him, avoided all pitfalls so carefully set by Glover and reigned unscathed for ten tumultuous years. Now it happens that Halidom, one morning at breakfast, spoke to the steward ordering him to bring for his dinner a pie, filled with plums and flavored with cinnamon. The steward, whose business it was to report such things to the cook, instead went straight to Glover and told him his idea. Glover listened carefully to the steward s words At the end of the lengthly discourse he rubbed his hands together and exclaimed, “ Thou hast a very bright idea.” But after a moment’s reflection, “The cook, can be managed? ”He is angry at Halidom for some petty reason, returned the steward, “For a sixpence he would stab him in the back.” “The time hath come,” gloated the wicked Minister, “in a fortnight I shall sit upon the throne, and thou, my good steward, shalt be Prime Minister to me. Come, let’s away to the kitchen.” At midday the King, who had been all morning at the hunt on Southdown, returned to the castle, mud-stained, weary and very hungry. He sat down to his huge repast, ate it and enjoyed it much. At last when he had eaten his fill of the roast pheasant and other delicacies, he called for his pie. The steward stepped within, bearing upon a huge silver platter the King’s favorite dessert, pie. The King, drowsy from his gluttonous repast, ate a few pieces of the huge pie without comment. A small portion fell from his rapidly moving fork into his lap. As he picked this piece up, he noticed with startled surprise that the filling was a bright red in color and not the dark blue color of plum filling. He stared unbelievingly and then put the small piece into his mouth. For the first time he noticed the delicious palate-tickling quality of the dish. Then he stopped and his eyes popped with terror. He was eating a cherry. He would surely die! But Halidom was a philosopher. As long as he was to die, why not finish the dish? To a less courageous man, the discovery would have detracted from the flavor, but not with Halidom. He ate his fill and lay down to die. As he lay waiting for death, he fell asleep. And he still dreamed peacefully when Glover, followed by the steward and the cook, bearing a stretcher between them, stole cautiously into the dining-hall. He awoke with a start at the sound of their footfalls and sat bolt upright on the couch. Glover shrieked with terror and turned to fly. But the voice of the King, raised in imperious command, halted him. The guilty trio cast themselves at his feet, and choking with sobs, confessed the whole plot aad begged for mercy. With twinkling eyes Halidom listened to their tearful recital. While Glover entreated, he thought, and when Glover finished he had made up his mind. He spoke, Thou, O Glover, hast been grievously at fault to so plot against me. Methinks thy crime merits death (groans and sobs from the conspirators), but I am not dead. The poison pie was miraculously delicious. Thou shalt not die by mine hand. Thou, O Minister, mayest live upon this condition—that thou spend the rest of thy days picking cherries for me. Thou, dear Steward, shalt be his ladder bearer and thou, O Cook, shalt henceforth do nothing but bake cherry pie and more cherry pie. Mere words cannot express the delicious flavor of such a delicacy.” 93 DESTINY By Harold Fargo Editor s Note—This essay was published in the December issue of the Magazine World. Cold, dirty, it s limbs weak and wobbly with age, it’s head bowed with the sorrow of its deep humiliation, it now occupies only a dusty corner in the back room of Jenkin’s General Store. Once held in highest regard, once able to brush elbows with the finest citizens of Blaine s Corners, it is now cast aside and neglected; pushed from the lime light into the darkest oblivion. One would never think that this, dilapidated old sheet-iron stove at one time heid a position of prominence and of great importance in the store of Lemuel Jenkins. Long ago, when in its prime, it played a vital part in the life of the rural community. Around its rotund body, political questions were discussed, argued over, and—for at that time politics were taken very seriously—cussed over. On such occasions, however, this faithful old friend often voiced its disapproval by hissing and roaring. Under its protection the checker tournaments were held, and it did its bit by keeping the hardy sons of the old, and the older perpetual loafers warm and cheerful. It had chaperoned countless numbers of shavings cast at its feet by aimless whittlers. It had listened patiently to Abe Carson s story of how he had received his wound at Vicksburg, as it was told to every newcomer and then to those who could repeat it by heart already, just to keep in practice. With the assistance of this heavily armored knight, Abe had established the unequaled record of being able to spit from the cracker barrel to the wood box without once missing the box. The big stove had been of invaluable help, for it had remained rigid, and never caused the record holder any anxiety by moving around. In the severe cold of winter it had waged a bitter and to be sure, a successful war against Jack Frost and his cohorts. In the warmth of summer it had stood calm and serene, gracing its position with the quiet dignity of a great general reviewing his troops. For many seasons it had listened sympathetically to the trials and troubles of the countryside sharing the sorrows and joys of all who gathered around to receive its cheery warmth. And how cruel is fate! After years of constant service, it is pushed into a dingy corner and forgotten, not rewarded with a position of honor because of unparalled service but placed into a back room to collect a garment of dust and dirt. What a wonderful example for humans to profit by. An old iron stove is more faithful and consistent than fallible humanity, yet it receives little consideration for a long period of servitude. We are given a part in shaping our own lives that an inanimate object is not. We are given the privilege of aiding in determining whether, when we are no longer of active use to the world, we will be respected and honored, passing our later lives in comfort, or be cast into some dingy corner and be forgotten as was this dilapidated stove. May we who are so wonderfully favored and privileged, do all we can to shape our future lives so that we shall not meet the fate of being ignored by the world when we are no longer of use. May we remember also, that if we get a taste of fame or honor, there will be a time when the limelight will cease to shine, and if we are not prepared, we too shall meet the fate of a once bright, shiny, and new sheet-iron stove. NOON It is noon in the city, A drowsiness lies over all; The smoke climbs lazily From the tall stacks, The cl ang of passing street car Re-echoes in the stillness; The sun shines, but indifferently: The very houses seem silent and asleep. The clouds in the dazzling blue sky. Are like white marble shapes. Utterly Motionless— It is noon in the city. 94 FANNIE LAW A PICTURE The roar and noise of the elevated. The weary crowds boarding the cars Like herds of cattle—crowding, pushing. The murmur of voices raised to a pitch Above that of the rumbling cars. The jerks and leaps a? with increasing speed The car flies over the silver-rails— The voice of the conductor calling the station. One by one our fellow-passengers alight. Only to have newcomers fill their places. We give them curious, hostile glances. Then turn our listless eyes to the uninviting. Yea, forbidding scenery. We are tired. The cares of the world weigh us down. A haunting memory of Florists Windows Comes to refresh and rest the sodden brain. We are lifted above ourselves and are no longer weary, We close our eyes, and dream of spring and violets. A shudder passes through us. From the seat behind A shop-girl shrills, “An he says t’ me.” With a start we are back to the realities of life. Again our attention is fixed upon the flying scenes. We look ahead in indifferent anticipation of the momentary sights. Can it be? Clean ruffled curtains and a red geranium? A lump rises in our throats as we consider the pitiful attempt To bring beauty to a tenement. Here is not a dim unreality In a florist's window. Here is life as we know and live it. We turn in our seats and hungrily devour the fading picture. It has passed, but the image is stamped indelibly Upon that “inward eye”. And then— The roar and noise of the elevated. FLORENCE MANLEY THE TALE OF THE MOTORISTS Ten little motorists driving down the line. One struck a ditch, then there were nine. Nine little motorists monkeying with fate, One hit a Scott Truck, then there were eight. Eight little motorists trusting much in Heaven One tried to hog the road, then there were seven. Seven little motorists trying clever tricks , One met a railroad train, then there were six. Six little motorists thought they could drive. One skidded off the bridge, then there were five. Five little motorists, speeding more and more. One struck a “Thank-you-ma’am”, then there were four. Four little motorists driving recklessly. One sassed a traffic cop. then there were three. Three little motorists coming into view. One passed upon a curve, then there were two. Two little motorists out to make a run. One hit a granite wall, then there was one. One little motorist packing quite a bun. He's in a prison cell, so there are none. Here is a history, it is well to heed. It has a moral, he who drives may need. 95 ORIEN PATCH LAMENTATIONS By an Old Alarm Clock Fifteen years and still going strongl Ticking the hours off right along— That’s the way I do my duty. But gracious me! 1 am no beauty! And all because of such hard use— (I’m making that my sole excuse.) I used to be a handsome clock With clean white face—and none to mock My useful toil—but woe is me. The change that’s come you ought to see! The housewife winds me every night But jerks me ‘round—it is a fright. And every morning when I’m set My alarm goes off, anc’i then I’m met With glowering looks from every one. They snatch me up—and think its fun To turn me off and sleep some more. Once, baby laid a hand on me And with a jovial shout of glee She flung me—with a fearful “crash.” The glass before my face went “smash . At other times the baby hands, In spite of mama's sharp commands. Have soiled and marred my shining face And robbed me of my former grace. And now I do regret to say, I’m crippled in most every way. I’ve lost a leg, I’ve lost a hand, Propper up on books I have to stand. The people, when they see my face. Say, “That old clock has run its pace.” In spite of all these bumps and knocks I still keep time with the best of clocks. MARTHA RIETHMILLER MY FRIEND Oh, she’s always there beside me. When in trouble I may be, Just a pleasant word from her Brings a ray of hope to me. Or someone has betrayed me. And I need a helping hand, She’s always there beside me To help out the best she can. When things are dull and dreary. And I seem alone to stand, Still I know she’s there beside me For I seem to feel her hand. When the path ahead is hazy. And I cannot see quite clear. Her firm hand is there to guide me From the depths that seem so near. Oh, she comes up to the standard Of a real, true, honest friend. And I hope when 1 am yonder I will meet her there again. EDITH KREIDER A DAY Sunrise, and from Cod’s creation Another joyus day is born, And the world displays her splendos In the freshness of the morn. Now the day is growing older, Yet its beauty is divine. And the sun high in the heavens. Sends God’s blessing in its shrine. Sunset, and the soothing twilight Stealthily creeps o’er the earth, God recalls his solar wonder Another world to grace its worth. When the shades of night have fallen And another day is gone. Eagerly the world looks forward To the coming of the dawn. EUGENE COTTER 96 97 Although members of the debating team worked hard, they were not strong enough to retain the city championship which has been in East High’s possession for five consecutive years. However, a victory was won from the strong Bradford High School team. It is hoped that with the strong team which the school will have next year, that debating will be given its proper place in the school curriculum. 98 East Hi-Y At a meeting of the East Hi-Y the following members were elected to hold office in the organization:—President, Howard Plate; Vice President, Robert Whittier; Secretary, Jacob Freeman; Treasurer, Clovis Nuss. It will be noticed that this group are members of the Senior Class and will be lost to the club next year. It is our aim to acquire new members from the Junior and Sophomore Classes in order to carry on the work in succeeding years. The officers of three high schools gathered together in the month of November and formed the Hi-Y Council. The main purpose of this meeting was to plan a suitable program for the remainder of the year. Arrangements were also made for putting on a degree some time in December. Th first social affair was enjoyed by the combined Hi-Y Clubs in the form of a Best Girls Banquet held at the Boston Store. This was followed by a Girl Reserve—Hi-Y Banquet at the Y. W. C. A., many members of both organizations being present at the latter. One of the biggest events looked forward to in this organization is the Hi-Y Convention. This year the New Wilmerding, Pa., Hi-Y Clubs were hosts to its neighboring Hi-Y . East was represented by Howard Plate and Robert W hittier. Previously we have been without a faculty advisor. Due to the interest shown by Mr. Merrillees and his consent to aid the Club in any way possible, he has been chosen our Faculty Advisor. The aim and purpose of the Hi-Y Club is to create, maintain and establish in the High School, high standards of Christian character in the form of clean living, clean speech clean athetics and clean scholarship. 99 v vm Orchestra The Orchestra has had a very successful year. There are now about forty-five members, and more studying to come in. A number of programs were played for auditorium and the organization supported and played for all the plays produced in the school, as well as at other times. Because of the increased numbers and more standard instrumentation, a much better grade of music has been played. The school realizes the value of having a good orchestra, and is beginning to support it. A great many new players will be most desirable for next term, and it would be advisable to see Mr. Owens before selecting an instrument. His advice is worth while, for none knows better than he what is nccesary for a successful and efficient orchestra. There is no reason why East can’t equal the other school orchestras in the city. Everything depends on the student body. You have done well, but do better and make it your business to see that East High is proud of her Orchestra. B a n d The Band this year was organized and controlled by its own members, who sacrificed their time in order that the spirit could be upheld. It has played for all the football games, and a large number of the basketball games. Next year we expect to see the school with a bigger and better band, one that will do credit to the name of East High. We are asured that Mr. Owens will be in charge and that we will have practice, at least twice a week, so we are hoping great things. With this inspiration to lead us on, let us turn out in vast numbers and lend our assistance to the work of making our band of next year and of the years to come, an even greater organization than it has been in the past. 101 o K COLLEGE GIRLS’ CLUB J i cu The upper class girls who did not join the College Club this year missed something big. We had enjoyable times and profited a great deal by our talks and discussions. Several charming social meetings were held with such interesting people on our programs as Grace Torrence and Agnes Malcolm. The so-called business meetings were equally enjoyable, the interest being centered on talks on colleges of all types. Miss Connell and Miss Crowell gave very interesting discussions of college life as they knew it, and Miss Rowley, a graduate of Mt. Holyoke, told of her European tour. Miss Rowley was chosen to represent her school on this trip, in company with representatives from many other of our colleges, to study relations. At one meeting the members spent the entire time studying catalogues, and talking over the possibiliies of the various schools. Early in the season the annual party, sponsored by the College Women’s Clubs, for girls planning to go to college, was held at the new Y. W. C A. There was a splendid representation from all three schools, the Central girls being our gracious hostesses. A delicious dinner was served, followed by stunts by students of each school. The East Girls dramatized The Story Book Ball.” The remainder of the evening was spent in dancing in the gymnasium. Next year our group will do the honors and if previous entertainments are to be surpassed, our ingenuity will be greatly taxed. The membership was nearly doubled this year, and it is hoped it will continue to increase so that something of value many be accomplished. Previously it has been very small and made little progress. Miss Booth has done more for us than any other one person, and through her efforts, and our co-operation, it will be one of the most worthwhile and necessary activities of the school. Girls, don't miss such a good opportunity again. It is open to all grades from the tenth up, with dues only thirty-five cents a year. It is surprising how much this organization raises the school standing throughout the city. It shows an intellectual development which is constantly reaching out toward a higher goal. More people are seeking a higher education than ever before, and more are having it forbidden, from lack of preparation. You need a strong foundation, and the college club can give it to you. Let our advisers help you plan a good course and select the school you desire. We need you and you need us.

It snapped with wit and humor of the most delightful kind. It was electric with mystery. It not only proved to be a great financial success as yet unsurpassed in such a venture here, but it was truly a dramatic success as well. Out O the Air is a first rate mystery play, comprising the elements of suspense and curiosity, comedy and drama. The story concerns the loss, or supposed theft, of two one-thousand dollar bills and some jewelry from the home of Mr. and Mrs. Arlington at East Hampton, Long Island. Of course, complications arise in which suspicion is cast on each member of the household. William Stout, as Mr. Arlington, the nagged husband, who is always having scenes with Mrs. Arlington, Grace Obermans; Mae Martin, as Mrs. Chatt, the spiritualist who is the innocent cause of the whole mystery by her sleep-walking, hiding act; Edward Sosey as Colonel Doming, the stock speculator; Rek Bills, as Edwin Sissen; (Winnie), the awkard, very tall aviator, who with John Hirt, Edward Sampson, (Ward), the very short aviator, provides many screamingly comical scenes, as “The Kangaroos. Harold Krebs, as Stone, the butler whose Hinglish” is particularly characteristic; Lucille Kellie, as Beatrice Chatt, the large girl who falls in love with little “ward,” Hyacinth Yaple, as Ann Myrtle, the small girl who is stricken by the handsome “Winnie”; Fannie Law, as Phoebe, Mrs. Arlington’s daughter; Catherine O’Keefe, as Mrs. Whitehouse, the attractive detective disquised as a society woman; Grace Torrance, as Marguerite, the sly French maid of Mrs. Arlington; and Ethel Levick as Gertrude, Mrs. Whitehouse’s maid, and in reality intelligent, shrewd detective who supplies her own ending to the mystery --------------- all these made up the splendid cast. It is needless to say that without the able direction of Mr. Edmund A. Knoll and the capable assistance of Miss Boothe and the various committees, not much could have been accomplished. 106 Willoughby Spencer Jack Hollybush .......... Harry Davenport ............

Parker’s comedy of English “Summer is a-Comin in.” Willoughby Spencer returns from The World War to find himself being sued for breach of promise by the fathers of three young ladies to whom he has proposed while on leave at various times. In order to avoid being found, he gets his three friends. Jack Hollybush, Ernest Wybrow, and Harry Devenport, together and they go to a quiet place in the country. In the meantime the three girls. Rose Philpotts. Daisy Tapping and Violet Drinkwater are thrown together through a coincidence and they discover that they are each engaged to Willoughby Spencer. The girls discover that Willoughby is in hiding and they go there in the guise of land girls and secure jobs as gardeners At this time Sylvia Spencer, a cousin of Willoughby’s who he did not know existed, arrives from Australia. She quickly grasps the situation and very cleverly straightens out the existing difficulties in a manner convenient to her. Mr. and Mrs. Vokins and Selina, who are servants in the household, are also completely won over by Sylvia and become her devoted slaves. The play was very well received and was a success from every point of view. Mr. Edmund Knoll, under whose direction the play was given. Miss Miriam Boothe, and Miss Carol Siple are worthy of much commendation for the way in which they worked that the play might be a success. 107 rile M” Club The purpose of the M club of East High School Girl Reserves is to promote friendship mentally, physically, socially and spiritually. Our motto is—‘‘To Face Life Squarely. Our theme is— Building Blue Triangles.” We developed this theme by several discussion meetings under the headings, Seeking New Builders , Myself, a Triangle , “Gifts from the Master Builder , Are You Triangular or Round? “National Builders , Other Triangles Around the World, and Out of School Life Into Life’s School.” The social and service side of our program consisted of an Inter-club Hallowe’en Party, a Bazaar, a Christmas Party, a Faculty Tea, a Hi-Y Girl Reserve Banquet, a Party for the crippled Children of East High School, a Mid-Winter Conference, an Inter-club Splash Party, an Easter Party at the Soldiers’ Home, a Farewell Party and an Inter-club picnic. The splendid work done by the M” club is due to the cooperation of the members with the officers. The officers are: President, Bernice Bengston; Vice President, Mary Ellen Henry; Secretary, Thelma Kraemer; Treasurer, Mabel Fickenworth; Social Chairman, Claire Delaney; Service Chairman, Sue Palmer; and Program Chairman, Katherine Kensill. The advisers of the club are: Miss Florence Stuart, Miss Emma Vance, Miss Ruth Graves and Miss Alta Postance of the Y. W. C. A. The following girls are members of the club:—Claire Delaney, Frances Heal, Ethel Moore, Thelma Kraemer, Bernice Bengston, Mabel Fickenworth, Mary Ellen Henry, Gladys Brown, Marie Lynch, Ethel Lee, Myrtle Woodrow, Alice McDonald, Gertrude Krill, Mary Steele, Kathleen Waller, Estelle Klick, LaVerne Murray, Katherine Kensill, Dorothy Hartung, Elaine Shimek, Dora Lillard, Florence Carey, Harriet Bowen, Catherine O'Keefe, Mae Martin, Emily James, Mary Frances Seelig, Helen Yeager, Grace Torrance, Mary Cronin. The Glee Club The Glee Club of East High has always been a faithful and hard-working organization. This year the girls rallied under the direction of Miss Connell and during the first semester, entertained the school in auditorium several times. They also sang at Lawrence Park School and were received with enthusiasm and appreciation. In February the direction of the chorus was given to Mr. Luvaas. The girls, numbering about twenty-five, are working diligently and we hope that many more good voices will be added to the chorus next year. 108 “0 nODLC TOOL! 109 Qtl'OWQY First and Last EAST SUNSET First and Last Edition EAST HIGH PUBLICATION Edition NO. 1927 JUNE 14, 1947 PRICE $3.39 Plu.

THOMPSON’S TODDLERS We Dispense (with) Harmony Arrange Now for Engagements Jerry Thompson, Mgr. of Wisconsin. 1 I I 112 THE TRUTH A short time ago the editor of a paper in one of the western states grew tired of being called a liar and announced that he would tell the truth in the future. His next issue contained the following items: “John Benin, the laziest merchant in town, made a trip to Beeville on Monday.” “John Code, our groceryman, is doing a poor business. His store is musty and dirty. How can he expect to do much?” “Married—Sylvia Rhodes and James Coles, last Saturday. The bride is a very ordinary girl who doesn’t know any more about cooking than a jackrabbit. The groom is an up-to-date loafer. He has been living off the old folks all his life and not worth shucks. It will be a hard life.” Don had just met Catherine in front of a confectioner’s store. Don—“Well cutsy, what will you have tonight?” Cutsy—Oh, I’ll take anything you take, Don.” Don—“Then we’ll take a walk.” Helen—“My, what a long tunnel we’re going through.” Mother—“This isn’t a tunnel—It’s Pittsburg.” Mr. Dawson—“When water is changed into ice what transformation takes place?” Arthur—“Change in cost.” Customer---“I would like to see a pair of shoes that would fit my feet.” Sal esman—“So would I.” Friend—“Were you excited on your wedding day? Groom— Excited? Say, I gave the bride ten dollars and tried to kiss the preacher.” The Portal A FRIEND IN NEED “T’is hard to be por, sighed the artist.” “Oh. that’s all right, said the sketch pad, “If you are busted just draw on me.” America has two thirds of the world’s telephones,. Yes, and four-fifths of the worlds wrong numbers,” adds the cynic. News Item Mose--“Say, Sam. how you all gettin’ along with that theah saxaphone of youahs?” Sam—“Mose, Ah cain’t jest understand it. Ah blows in de sweete’ noises you eveh heard, bat the mos’ awful blah always come out th’ otha end. Friend—“How about your team? Are they good losers?” Coach—(after a poor season) “Good!—They are perfect.” HEARD AT THE GREEK S Customer—“Chicken croquettes, please.” Waiter—“Fowl ball I ! 1 Young Wife--‘‘Darling.” Husband—“What is it my love?’ Wife— Don’t be silly, Jack, I was calling Fido.” Judge Willie—“Were you ever as little as I am. Grandpa?” Grandpa—“Of course, my boy.” Willie “Oh, you must have been a scream with those glasses and whiskers!” Golfer--“Can you let me have a caddie who doesn’t giggle all the time?” Caddie Master—“Well, there’s old Mac over there, hasn’t smiled for forty years,—but of course, I can’t guarantee him.” Humorist Lady—“I should think you’d be ashamed to beg in this neighborhood.” Tramp----“Don’t apologize for it, ma'am. I’ve seen worse! Here is a letter for you with a black border.” “Alas! My poor brother is dead!” How do you know? You haven’t read it yet.

Good doggie—lay down I say.” You’ll have to say ‘Lie down mister, declared a small bystander. That’s a Boston ter-rior.” Are you going up on the campus? “Yep. “Well, don’t fall off.” “What’s good for my sister's fallen arches?” “Rubber heels.” “What’ll I rub them with?” Bill— That teacher, Mr. Harbold, docs everything to a turn.” Lew—“Well, you see, he's a revolutionist.” Oh, gushed Ethel, It must be wonderful to be a joke editor!

Why, that town was so small that they painted ‘Come Again’ on the back of the ’Welcome’ sign.” Voo Doo CONSIDERATE “What a beautiful coat, James! But 1 do feel an occasional pang for the poor animal skinned to get it.” “Thanks, that's very kind of you Ethel.” THE LAGGARD The pantomine was on the eve of production, and the orchestra had just rehearsed the overture for the fifth time. Thank you, gentlemen,” said the composer; who was also the conductor; “At last you have given me a truly correct interpretation of my work.” “Say, whispered the man who played the bassoon, “that’s queer; I’ve got two pages to play yet.” Can you serve company?” asked the Mistress. “Yes, both ways, ma’am the new maid replied. “Both ways?” “Yes, So they’ll come again or so they’ll stay away.” Chicago News “What did father say when you told him you were going to take me away from him?” “Fie seemed to feel his loss keenly at first, but I squared things with a good cigar.” I 16 “As a salesman 1 get only two orders. “What are they? “Get out and stay out.” Dick—“I say, Jim, what is the Order of the Bath?” Jim—“Well as 1 have experienced it, it’s first the waters too hot; then it’s too cold; then you step on the soap, and, finally, the telephone bell rings.” City Star Poet— My new poem will cause your heart to miss a beat.” Editor—“Take it away.

You really must push on and try to make a record!” Hyacinth—“Virginia, what are you doing?” Virginia—“Nothing, want to learn how to do it?” “I snoze a sneeze into the air; It fell to earth 1 know not where; But hard and cold were the looks of those In whose vicinity I snoze.” WISE CRACKS A pessimist reminds .us of a man in a dark room looking for a black cat that isn’t there. The wise old rooster is sure the paths of glory lead but to the glove. One man exclaimed,----“I wish I was the man my wife was going to marry if she hadn't married me ! Uncle—“George, what are you going to do when you grow up?” George—“I’m going to be a philanthropist, uncle. Those people seem to always have lots of money.” A nervous passenger, on the first day of the voyage, asked the Captain what would be the result if the steamer should strike an iceberg while it was plugging through the fog. “The iceberg would move right along, madam,” the Captain replied courteously, “just as if nothing happened.” The old lady was greatly relieved.

And Lord, may my shouts be ungrudging and clear, A tribute that comes from the heart, And let me not cherish a snarl or a sneer Or play any sniveling part; Let me say, “There they ride on whom laurel’s bestowed Since they played the game better than I,” Let me stand with a smile by the side of the road And cheer as the winners go by! So grant me to conquer, if conquer I can By proving my worth in the fray; But teach me to lose like a Regular Man And not like a craven, 1 pray.

If the Doctor Wrote Your Prescription on a Stick of Wood OR the Pottawatomie Indian, the medicine man's ten remedies prescribed on a stick of wood probably served well enough. But your avoidance of ailments and your recovery from illness are made easier by the contribution of paper to health extension. Witches’ herbs and the King's Touch have given way to the medical book and the prescription pad. Every bottle on your medicine shelf at home speaks to you with a paper label.
