We have constantly striven to get better teaching and at the same time to graduate students who are well prepared to leave East and to go into other schools with creditable showing. We have not been concerned to graduate large numbers of students. Scarcely a commencement comes but some of each class fall by the wayside. We reason in this manner. If the student is immature, more time in school will strengthen that student. If on the other hand, the student is not working, we do not want to graduate anyone who cannot show fair application. Such a course helps the school and it also places your diploma at a higher premium because it is harder to secure. We are proud of the record made by our graduates. Many colleges are requesting that we send more students like the ones they already have admitted from East. Seniors! If other classes can do so well, your class can follow with just as good a record. Go out and prove it. May success be yours. JOHN W.

Runner-Up Team of 1926 Ui The basketball team of 1926 accomplished the greatest feats ever known by an Erie school. City, Northwestern and Western Pennsylvania champions were the titles won. They not only won three championships, but finished as runner-up in the state championship tournament. This successful team was coached by Gus Anderson. Twenty-five games were won, while Franklin and Nanticoke were the only teams that were able to force East to dip its colors in defeat. Most outstanding in East’s playing was its strong defensive game. This is but a brief story about a wonderful team. 16 Class Officers Brown, Fay .................................

Vocal Selections 18 Midyear Class of 30 For four long, happy years the members of the midyear class of 1930 have been studying diligently in order that we might be worthy to receive the diplomas which are the reward of hard work. There are none of us without many pleasant memories of East High to brighten the broad highway of life. Our only wish is that we may have left something of value behind for those who come after us. When we entered high school as freshmen, we walked in the clouds for sometime until we were put into our places by the upper classmen Nevertheless we were glad to be here at all, so we patiently bided our time until we were advanced to the lofty pinnacle of the sophomores. Here we began at once to speak in foreign tongues and to babble of advanced mathematics and other weighty subjects designed to confound the juvenile freshmen. As we reached the third of the four great steps, we began to wonder whether our class would live up to the standards of former classes, but we hid our worries beneath a mask of gaiety. Then at last we were seniors. Tossing aside our worries, we decided that ours was to be the best class East High ever had. It is for the world in general to decide whether or not we were successful. We are very proud of our representation in all of the various fields of athletics, scholarship, music, and art. We are not less proud of our senior activities—a successful play, “The Beneficent Bear” bv Goldini; class day and kiddies day, much enjoyed by the rest of the school; and finally, a delightful banquet. It is hard to remember that on January twenty-eight, 1930, seventeen proud young people stood on the platform and received their diplomas, and that we must say “vale” to our school days.

It is like music to the ear of the undergraduate, for it represents the goal for which he is ever aspiring. When we were freshmen, we looked up to the seniors with great awe and respect. As we had heard of the horrible things which happened to freshmen, we were very meek until we attained the exalted position of sophomores. Now, we thought, we can show them how good we really are. And so we began the term. But, alas, the ending was very different from the beginning. We had reckoned without the juniors. They felt that they had a better claim to the friendship of the seniors than we. So passed another uneventful year. When we became juniors, we were on firmer ground and the goal was in sight. We helped with the Junior-Senior Prom and tried to make ourselves useful in other ways. Finally, we ended our junior year. All during vacation we wondered what would be the best attitude to assume. Should we be wise-looking and dignified, thus showing off to better advantage our great wealth of knowledge, or should we be gay and light-hearted and show everybody that being a senior is not such a great responsibility? It was quite a problem. But in the commotion of starting school again (the term wouldn’t be started right if we didn’t change our schedules at least five times), we forgot all about our attitudes and acted naturally. The time passed quickly, however, and in a short while, graduation was at hand. Graduation is a happy yet solemn occasion, for while we are glad to have finished our public school course, we do not like to think of leaving East High forever. 25 ELEANORE LIND.

There is something very peaceful in its surroundings, so that in a very short time I slump down in my hard seat and indulge in a world of thought. All cares are magically forgotten, and I am at peace with the world. Surely it was a swish of satin gowns which faintly reached my ears. As if in a dream, the melodious strains of “Minuet in G” float to my numbed senses, and presently a charming picture of powdered wigs and brocaded gowns passes before my eyes. Ah, but the company is not all present. The magic light of the moon and the romantic breath of June are exerting their charm on youth. The fugitives in the garden are lovers, of course. Goodness! That wasn’t a love tap. But I had forgotten that I was merely dreaming and not paying attention. As a result, I was suddenly reprimanded. Nevertheless, thoughts are not long on the lessons, and soon I am again floating on the sea of reverie. My eyes must be deceiving, for I see an entirely different setting now. There is the hearth with the blazing logs, and two elderly persons with a touch of contentment on their faces are seated near it. Surely, they are not the figures of the one-time beautiful youth. A closer observation reveals a marked resemblance to those two of the garden of long ago. Ah! I can see it all now. Time has passed, and, as a consequence, youth has changed. How very characteristic of life is this little melodrama! I try to speak and say it is wrong, but the only sounds which come from my lips are merely: “There is no justice.” There follows a sudden, stirring ring which startles me. I jump up quickly, but soon resume my chair when I find everyone is looking at me curiously, wondering why the mere ring of the bell has upset me so. They, of course, were not dreaming with me. 42 CATHERINE STUNDER 43 Frederick McCurdy Melva Shafer Jack Stafford Viola Anderson Lucille Bowen Lenore Hetzer Eleanor Gerhart Jennie Tave George Weber Helen Johnson Jean Barclay President Vice President Secretary Treasurer Robert Carter Doris Bushar Margaret Heck Elmer Watkins Margaret Simpson Ray Theuret Mabel Johnson Cooper, Margaret Eckert, Clarence Cantlon, Dorothy Avril, Alta Arrowsmith, Noden Chervenka Helen Burns, Edward Coughlin, Mary Bright, Betty Brang, Jane Beck, Eleanor Amann, Harry Cotter, Cotter, Jack Jeanette Weber, Robert President Barber, Barber, Joseph James Crotty, Csech, Rose, Betty Anna Mary Vice President Ekstrom, Flaugh, Dean, Ruth Ida Harriet Dunfee, Cuthbert, Cross, Raymond, Richard Orin Bower, Geraldine Craig, Geraldine Fisher, Margaret Secretary and Treasurer DeTuerk, Barbara Dodge, Dorothy Doyle, Clarence Czarnecky, Raymond Baier, Charles Dwan, John 47 Gaylord, Marian Larson, Sara McCreary, Frances Paige Margaret Schaeffer, Cecelia Goodfleisch Wilbur Walker, Goodnough, Goodwin, Kathleen Stella Naomi Gross, Klingensmith Evelyn Phyllis Nyholm, Mildred Laidlow, Edward Lanagan, Thomas Kohout, Virginia Lechtner, Mary Miller, Massey, Howard Mary Wilma Orchard, MacRoberts, Klugiewicz, Hazel Glenn Regina Miller, Agnes Tooze, Patterson, Schneider, Shenker, Delvin William Dolores Evelyn Pronko Phillips John Christina Smith, Scrafford, Swenski, Elma Ralph Wanda Williams, Pauli, White, Wheeler, Bernard Edwin George Frank Wood, Jack February Class of 1931 We of the 12B Class entered East High in February 1925. At that time we, in our ignorance, thought that we were the most important section in the school. This feeling was soon crushed out of us by the proud and haughty seniors. Thus we spent two years of uneventful existence. Finally the day arrived when we became freshmen. For weeks previous to this time we walked with our heads in the clouds. But, after card day had come and gone, we were brought back to earth by the realization that the seniors were almost totally unaware of our presence in the school. Then we became sophomores (wise fools). Although we were wiser than when we became freshmen, we were still foolish enough to believe that the seniors would pay attention to the sophomores. In our junior year we became important. We were looked up to by the freshmen and sophomores. As to the seniors, they favored us with nods and smiles whenever they met us in the halls. At this time we began to take a more active part in all school affairs. Now we are 12B seniors. We have climbed the ladder of learning slowly, but steadily. Our teachers have consistently attempted to pour at least a part of their knowledge into our carefree minds. (We wish them better success with future pupils). Soon we shall reach the top of the ladder and step out into an unknown, and hitherto untried, world. —JEAN BARCLAY 11A Class History We, the 11A class, have almost attained our goal—that long hoped-for and de-desired goal, the Senior Class! For three years we have been preparing ourselves for that great moment when we shall step into the dignified places now occupied by the seniors. Oh, how we have envied them! Ever since we first entered school as freshmen, we have wished with all our hearts to be, some day, as great and honored as they. Y ell, in a few months, we shall become seniors. We wonder, excitedly, how it will feel to have attained what we have been working for. During our three years in East, we have, to the best of our ability, supported our beloved school in academic work as well as in football, baseball, basketball, track, debating and music. V e now solemnly vow to be faithful to our Alma Mater not only while we are seniors, but for the remainder of our lives, no matter what paths we may travel. 50 —IDA M.

For two years we remained here—unnoticed. Then we entered our freshman year. Surely now, we thought, at last we should be of some importance. But it did not thus happen. For another year we remained in a state almost bordering on oblivion. After we became sophomores, we were finally able to take some part in the school activities. Several of our members have taken part in our school plays and debates. But our activities are not going to stop here. Next year when we are juniors, we expect to be still more active and to make as good a showing ourselves as did this year’s juniors.

We had waited eagerly all summer for September to come, anticipating the time when we should become members of such a large body of earnest pupils, and should commingle even with the seniors. But, much to our surprise, when we arrived at our destination, we were treated by the older students as little better than infants. We survived this discourtesy and eventually became freshmen. Finding that we were still thought to be mere “groundlings,” we comforted ourselves with the thought that all those who succeeded had to pass through that stage. In order to become high school and college graduates, we must in some fashion live through the freshman period. We tried to “carry on,” both in academic and extra-curricular work. We desire to become not only the best class East High has ever brought forth, but to be worthy and active citizens of our city, state, and nation.

The classes have been filled every year. Jobs are procured for all who have finished the course with credit. The shop is fully equipped. Each boy learns to operate every machine. He works on usable articles and learns from his first lesson that he is doing something that counts. The instructor, Mr. H. L. Cotter, has the rare ability of outlining a course in machine shop that is practical and instructive, and yet not consisting of “exercises” that produce no finished work. At present several band saws and bench joiners are being completed for other school woodshops. On completing the course, the boy is admitted to the apprenticeship group with advanced rating. He has had the advantage of the shop practice and added to it, the related subjects as in other trade courses. 63 Drafting Top Row Garber, William— Wells, John— Larson, Clarence— Snyder, Allan— Morehouse, William Second Row Kosobucki, Charles— Rose, Charles— Kulick, Peter— Voytek, John— Matlock, Stephen— Kieklak, Walter— Harman, Robert Third Row Mr. J.

Mr. Jeffery is ably qualified by experience and training to give this course, and results have shown that his teaching has been worthwhile. After two years the boys are graduated from this course as in the case of the other trade courses. If students finish the time of the trade, jobs are secured for them. While this course is generally conceded to train prospective draftsmen, engineers, and designers, it is peculiarly adapted to the needs of accountants, technical clerks, machinists, and many other persons who will need to read and make drawings. It could well be recommended to anyone who wants to enter industrial life as well as to those planning to enter technical schools. 65 Auto-Mechanics Lower Row Gamble, Anthony—- Kowalski, Joseph Ropelewski, Edward— Zygie, Leonard— Schilberz, Otto— Winston, Addison— Oleskey, Casimir— Romanowicz, Casimer— Napierkowski, Stanley Second Row Przepierski, Stanley— Kudlak, Michael— Matuszewski, Joseph— Breter, Clarence— Guelcher, Elmer— Allamon, Eugene— Stachera, John— Dunst, Anthony— Yusz, Joseph Third Row Mr. C.

This is a two year course, as are all the trade courses in East High. By taking this course, the student can decide whether or not he is adapted to the work. If he finds that he is, he will, of course, proceed to make it his life’s work; if not, he finds it out before it is too late and can place himself in more congenial surroundings. The conditions are, as nearly as possible, the same as those in commercial shops. The student takes part in repairing cars brought in for that purpose. The instructor, Mr. Charles E. Thomas, can demonstrate to the boys, the lessons taught in the class room theory periods. The boys do the work with their own hands under his direction. This is the only practical way to teach repair work, as the subject is too complicated for anyone to grasp from diagrams. Along with his work the student has classes in English, mathematics, science and history, which take up half of the time. Thus at the end of his shop course, he may proceed through the high school if he cares to. He may graduate from high school and also have his shop training. Many of the boys who have taken the auto repair course have been started on the road to success in their work. They have learned the fundamentals and on leaving school have become advanced apprentices. 67 : VA v:V Joints Hi if-i by ■?lumVincjf fituclints f East High c oaLr Ex «. . u.

His fine sportsmanship won for him the admiration of all the members of the team. Commendation must also be given to Oscar Palmquist who was manager of the 1929 football team. His hard work and perseverance contributed greatly to the organization. The victories which the basketball team won this season were due to team work and also to the leadership of Captain Trostmiller who proved worthy of this position. When Mr. Anderson was chosen as Faculty Athletic Advisor, a good selection was made. The athletic organizations of this institution have been financially successful due to his earnest efforts. A more capable man could not have been found for this position as is seen by the results of Mr. Anderson’s work. In addition to being a man of business ability, he is one of the most popular men of this school. Mr. Kamora known as “Jack” has been with us for over five years. During that time he has coached athletic teams which have proved very successful. We are sure he will meet with future success. Although Mr. Hyde has been with this school for less than a year, he has gained many friends and obtained splendid results. The wish of all is that he will continue to make good at East. 71 Varsity Basketball Forsberg, Carl— Hiller, Edward Pahnquist, Oscar— Forest, Ernest— Prizinski, Paul— Blossey, George— Fargo, Kenneth— Eppler, Donald— Trostmiller, Howard, Captain— Hyde, “Jim”, Coach— Heller, “Abe”, Mgr After a not-so-successful year on the gridiron, the East High students turned their attention to that great indoor game that is fast becoming one of America’s foremost sports—basketball. Jim Hyde coached the basketball team. On December 19, the Warriors opened their basketball season by trouncing the weak Albion five, 50-10, on the Warrior’s court. Trostmiller was high scorer. The next team the Warriors met was Ashtabula. On December 20, the Hyde combination invaded enemy territory for the first time this year and administered a crushing defeat to the Ashtabula cagers. Forsberg played a gallant game for East. The next encounter was with New Bethlehem. On Christmas Day the Warriors traveled to the Pittsburgh district to play the highly touted New Bethlehem cagers. After putting up a great battle for the first half, the New Bethlehem players cracked in the final periods and suffered a 36-18 defeat. Another team that East met and defeated was Latrobe. Displaying a mixture of mediocre and brilliant basketball, the East High team scored a comparatively easy victory over Latrobe, East 30-Latrobe 13. Eppler bore the brunt of the attack for the Warriors. After being beaten on the gridiron by Aliquippa, the Warriors had a score to settle when they met the Aliquippa team. The score was East High, 26—Aliquippa, 22. Trostmiller and Prizinski were high with nine points each. Inability to check Bobby, coupled with their failure to break through the Parrel’s defense, proved disastrous for the Warriors. The score was Farrel 48—East 21. On January 3 the Warriors met the Alumni. Displaying a much better brand of basketball all the way, the East High cagers had little trouble in registering a 34-22 victory over their former schoolmates, the Alumni. Palmquist played a fine game for the Warriors. After tying the score in the last minute of play, the Scarlet Warriors were nosed out by Cohen’s long heave in the final ten seconds of play. The score was DeMolay 25—East 23. Coming from behind in the last stages, the Scarlet Warriors outfought a courageous Youngstown team in a brilliant game of basketball at Youngstown. Forsberg was the “big gun” in the Sunriser’s lineup. Unleashing a fierce attack in the second half that wiped out a small handicap and sent them comfortably into the lead, the Warriors ultimately scored a 33-19 victory over the Warren Dragons. On January 29 the East High rangy basketball five took another ditch in their march to the city and sectional championship, when they defeated a hard fighting team of Academy by a score of 27-18. 74 Again DeMolay beat East by a score of 28-27. Outbursts from the crowd and an argument at the timing table took place at this game. In one of the most thrilling and exciting games seen in Erie this season, the Warriors nosed out the Lions 24-23 before a crowd of wildly shouting fans. Prizinski was the hero in the Sunriser victory. On February 14, Jamestown High broke the winning streak of East High by a fast and well played game with a score of 38-23. Interest in the contest was at fever height as the two outstanding teams of this section took the floor before a capacity crowd. Showing all the better as a result of a defeat in Jamestown, the city champions swept to a decisive 37-13 victory over Titusville, in a one sided game staged on the East hardwood. Trouncing an inexperienced Central High team before approximately one thousand fans, Jim Hyde’s first basketball edition at the Sunriser’s school took equal rank with the great Scarlet and Gray combination of former days. The score was 39-17. The Allegheny court was the scene of the next game. After winning the city championship, the East High basketball team travelled to Meadville and defeated the Meadville team by a score of 27-21, before a throng of wildly shouting fans. Prizinski was the big cog in the East High machine. The versatile basketball players of Punxsutawney went down to a crushing defeat when they met the Scarlet and Gray Warriors of Erie East. The game was close, but East High held the upper hand all the way. Trostmiller was high scorer for East. In a game that was marred by outbursts from the crowd and an argument between the players, the Sharon team defeated a hard fighting East High basketball team by a score of 29-21. The game was a thriller all the way through. —“JIMMY” BARBER East High 50 East High 31 East High 36 East High 39 East High 26 East High 23 East High 34 East High 27 East High 33 East High 32 East High 33 East High 27 VARSITY BASKETBALL Schedule Albion 10 Ashtabula 11 New Bethlehem 18 Latrobe 19 Aliquippa 22 Farre! 48 Alumni 22 Youngstown Rayen 23 Erie Central 8 Youngstown East 14 Warren 19 Erie Academy 18 East High 27 East High 24 East High 23 East High 39 East High 39 East High 32 East High 16 East High 36 East High 69 East High 27 East High 21 East High 21 DeMolay 28 Erie Academy 23 Jamestown, N.

During the ten years that football has been played at East High, we have developed some wonderful teams and players. Although we did not have the desired success on the gridiron this year, we had many obstacles to overcome and hope that next year with a more experienced and heavier team, we shall be able to rank among the outstanding teams in this part of Pennsylvania. East High ushered in the 1929 football season by taking a licking at the hands of Aliquippa. The East High combination was outclassed by Aliquippa and but for the fine punting of Trostmiller, the Aliquippa score might have been much higher. The score was Aliquippa 6, East High 0. On September 28, East High met the highly touted Ashtabula team and in a hard-fought game defeated them 21-0. The Warriors played a much better brand of football against Ashtabula Harbor than they did against Aliquippa. With Trostmiller and Ring running the ends and Kilfoil and Laraway bucking the lines, it looked like a real East High team. East next encountered East Liverpool. After losing two consecutive games in a got the break and won by a score of 14-6. The only score for East came in the second quarter when Bill Eger intercepted a pass and and raced 67 yards for a touchdown. On October 12 the Warriors invaded enemy territory for the first time this year and returned home under the stigma of a 32-0 defeat administered by Youngstown Chaney. Jackie Laraway, a freshman, was the big power in the Sunriser’s lineup. East next encountered East Liverpool. After losing two consecutive games in a row, East High came back and trimmed East Liverpool. The game was a toss-up for the first three periods with the Warriors holding a slight edge. The lone touchdown came as a result of Johnson’s poor punt which was recovered by an East lineman. The score was East 6—East Liverpool 0. On October 26, the North Tonawanda Lumberjacks came here and returned home with the Warrior scalp. The game was played preliminary to the Pitt Allegheny contest. The next game was with our old time foe, Academy. Before a crowd of some ten thousand people, the Academy Lions crushed the East High Warriors in one of the most thrilling and exciting games that I have ever witnessed. Though the game was hard fought, Academy held the upper hand all the way. The Warren stadium was the scene of the next game in which East High triumphed over the Warren Dragons 19-0. Launching a pugnacious attack that took Warren completely by surprise, the fighting Warriors rambled to another victory. Captain Roman played sensational football at end. On November 28, East High brought its football program to an end. Before a crowd of shivering fans that gathered to witness the Turkey Day classic, the Fighting Colonels triumphed over the Scarlet Warriors by a score of 13-0. This victory for Central marks an epoch in its football cai-eer for this year. This is the first victory for Central over East since 1922. A big football banquet was held in East High cafeteria for the whole football squad. Everyone had a wonderful time. “Jack” Komora, Mr. Ray, and “Jim” Hyde were the speakers of the evening. Another banquet that was greatly enjoyed by East High lettermen was held at the Hotel Lawrence. Coach Southerland of Pittsburgh was the main speaker of the evening. 77 JAMES BARBER s Football Squad First Row Arthur Detzel— Donald Eppler— Robert Sosey— John DeTuerk— Howard Trost-miHer— William Eger— Roman Jablonski, Captain— Mike Povench, Mascot— John Kilfoil— Harvey Ring— Richard Donovan— Edward Hiller— Charles Arnold.

Scarlet and Grey uniforms were bought, with the result that much more color and pep was added to the spirit of the games. This group which has had a very active part in the activities of the school, has, in addition to supporting the other student organizations, sponsored a dance and several skating parties. 86 Burger, Verna— Mozdy, Florence— Burger, Vera.

The girls are intensely interested and have mastered much difficult technique. During the last few years Miss Pille has trained the girls so that now they boast of a track team. They present a fine picture out on the field, and may in the future be serious competitors of the boys for honors. The girls’ dancing class is proving increasingly successful each year. One of the many charming dances presented in the Gymnastic Exhibition this year was the Russian dance. The costumes as well as the quaint dance steps were attractive. In keeping step with the mode and new dance steps, the “Patent Leather Kids” who are also members of the weekly dancing class did clever work. A picture of Holland was brought before us when we saw the Dutch group. With their wooden shoes and quaint bonnets and caps, they proved to be as capable of impersonating the Dutch as any professional group. 90 Basketball Tournament The Lake Erie Tri-State Basketball Tournament, which was staged at East High March 17-22, was one of the most successful tournaments that has ever been staged in any part of the country. The feat of bringing together about thirty teams from every part of Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York, was only one of the wonderful things that were accomplished by East’s coach, “Jim” Hyde. The following directors by co-operating with Mr. Hyde helped greatly in promoting the affair: Walter Anderson, “Doc” Evans, J. W. Ray, Joe Martin, Jack Komora and Ray Peebles. The referees who played the parts of the eleventh men on the court were Paul Fitting, Ray Peebles, Gus Anderson and Andy Fletcher. These men are considered the best referees in this part of the state. The students of East High are to be complimented on the fine support that they gave the visiting teams. Many of the students of East High acted as sponsors for these teams. The schedule of the games during the day were as follows: The first game was at 2:00 P. M.; the next, at 3:00 P. M. In the evening, starting at 7:00 P. M., a junior high game was played; following this a class B game was played at 8:00 P. M.; the last game—class A—began at 8:50 P. M. The fine trophies that were presented to the winning teams, runner-up teams, and winning individuals are as follows: Class A Division: 1st Place—Regular Size Silver Basketball by Virbon Club of Erie—won by New Castle.

This comedy, written by Goldini, the master of Italian comedy, was translated from the French by Barrett H. Clark. The scene is laid in Paris, France about the middle of the eighteenth century. The action takes place in the home of the Messieurs Geronte and Dalancour. The principal part of the good-hearted, though gruff, old uncle was portrayed by Donald Murray. Fay Brown gave charm to the part of the leading lady. Although everyone did very credible work, Pauline Thomas gave perhaps the most artistic characterization. Much praise belongs to Mr. Knoll who directed the play. The cast was as follows: Monsieur Geronte ... Monsieur Dalancour Dorval ............ Valere ............ Picard ............ Madame Dalancour Angelique ......... Marthon ........... .. Donald Murray .... Boyd Noyes .... Abe Heller .... John DeTuerk Edward Gehrlein . Pauline Thomas .... Fay Brown ....

The play is concerned chiefly with the affairs of a wealthy father, whose family is extravagant, and depends upon him for all its funds. The relatives arrange with the father’s physician to have him take a trip down the Amazon, in order that they may run up more lingerie bills. The father’s young business manager confides in his employer his desire for a home. They change places, the father taking a trip, and the young manager assuming charge of the household. Confronted with many bills, the young man deludes the family into thinking that their father’s rubber business is ruined. Many humorous situations are involved before they all find work. Returning home, the father is very much surprised to find his daughters, son-in-law, sister-in-law, maid and uncle, all struggling at some occupation. A delightful romance is woven around the father’s youngest daughter and a physician, a lord of high nobility, and the young business manager. The play was skillfully directed by Mr. Edmund Knoll, and well acted by the cast which included: James King, the father ....................... John Hirt Corinthia, his parlor maid .............. Svea Holmberg Clinton DeWitt, his son-in-law ........... Kenneth Fargo Julie DeWitt, his eldest daughter ..Elizabeth Winkelmes Eva King, his youngest daughter........Margaret Phillips Aunt Abbey Rocker, his sister-in-law ..Vera Richardson Dr. Jack Delameter, his neighbor..Eugene Engelskirger Horace Pilgrim, his uncle .............

Emerson Stout 99 Ace Club Several years ago a club was formed by the editors and business managers of the three senior high school literary staffs. Its purpose was to provide an opportunity to develop a friendly spirit through better acquaintance. As the idea expanded, the entire staffs of the three schools were included. This year the Ace Club has held three meetings which consisted of a business session preceded by a banquet and followed by a social meeting. At these meetings suggestions and ideas were offered in the hope of helping each other. These have proved to be of value. The Ace Club has been progressing steadily each year, and it is to be hoped that these relations may be successfully renewed and carried on every year. 101 “M” Club First Row—Weber, Ruth— Tave, Jennie— Daly, Rose— Johnson, Helen— Holmberg, Svea— Knoll, Harriett— Humphreys, Oleta— Hodges, Inez— O’Neil, Marguerite— Gorman, Jean.

Debating East High has debated with four different schools this year. Our first was a dual debate with Niagara Falls. Our affirmative team won, but Niagara Falls defeated our negative team. Then Lady Luck turned against us in our next debate, and Bradford’s negative won. When Jamestown’s affirmative team came here, we were defeated again, but we made up for it by defeating them at their own school that evening. We lost to Falconer that same afternoon. We have one more debate before us and that is the triangular debate with Academy and Central. We regret the fact that this is our very last debate. Our debates were not well enough received by the student body, not only here but at all three high schools. This has resulted in the elimination of debating by the school board. In closing, we wish to thank Mr. Gillespie for the splendid coaching he has given us all through the year. 102 Music Organizations The first period class is composed of people who are studying viola, cello, bass viol, flute, oboe, and bassoon. These pupils will take places in the band or orchestra as soon as they are able to play their instruments well enough. The orchestra, composed of sixty-two members is the largest and best instrumented orchestra we have ever had. In the spring, a very commendable program was given by the orchestra and band. The money received in this concert was applied on the instrument debt. The band is superior to all previous bands in instrumentation and in the variety of compositions it has rendered. Forty-five members now comprise this organization which gives its assistance at many functions. During the sixth period, Mr. Lansing conducts a clarinet class which consists of nine members. When these people learn to play and join the band, there will be great improvement in that organization because the reed section in a band should be larger than the brass section. Mr. Cleveland conducts an advanced class in violin the sixth period. Many of these students have come into the orchestra recently. Junior High Music The weekly music period is divided into two parts— singing and appreciation. The songs that are taught in the appreciation period are often the same as those taught in the singing period. Many folk songs, college songs, and operatic airs are studied each year. This tends to make the pupil understand the fundamental principles of pitch, rhythm, and expression, and renders him a more intelligent listener. The pupils who study folk music, descriptive music, music of strongly contrasting moods, characteristic dances, and beautiful melodies, attain a well-rounded appreciation of all music. Theodoi-e Thomas has said, “Popular music is merely familiar music,” and we all know that we learn to like a piece by hearing it several times. These lessons follow the general plan adopted by the music department. The seventh grade pupils are taught folk music, with special attention to Indian and negro music in the United States. They also study the instruments of the orchestra and band by sight and sound. In the eighth year, there is given a simple explanation of the common vocal and instrumental forms, and a brief review of some of the master musicians of the world. 103 Orchestra First Row Carlson, Leroy— De Tuerk, Paul Dunham, Leo— Thompson, — Dunst, Frank-John— Simpson, • Seaman, Andy— Klauk, Herman William— Handley, Richard Second Row Ciuyzycki, Katherine—Sharrer, Rose—Yingling, Louise—Quigley, Jeanette—Eisert, Dolores— Rectenwald, Rita— Howard, Ruth— Smith, Elma— Dunham, Wilma—Werzel, Laura—Anderson, Anna— Third Row M Schaeffer, Elmer— Erstfield, Bertha— Jant, Elsie— Lehman, Lorna— Hopkins, o Shirley— Cochanides, Katherine— Cranch, Doris— Mozdy, Irene Kraut, Ruth— Beattie, Vivian— First, Lucille Fourth Row Cranch, Edward— Reichart, Edward— Weber, George— Corritore, Paul— Chileli, Edward— Schau, George— De Vries, John— Shepard, Donald Tannenbaum, Walter Fifth Row Theuret, Ray— Baier, Charles— Sulkowski, John— Hoffman, Edward— Becker, Alban Weber, Joseph— Miller, George— Burdell, John— Powell, Paul Top Row Van Amburg, Malcolm— Anderson, Raymond— Pauli, Edwin— Linse, Francis— Campbell, Raymond— Cook, Wilbur— Miller, Robert— Starks, Raymond— Frank, Robert Girl’s Chorus First Row—Austin, Frances— Martin, Henrine— Eliot, Mary,— Linsey, Ruth— Mozdy, Eleanor— Pichler, Dorothy Montgomery, Dorothy. - Blair, Wilma— Schaeffer, Cecilia— Gerhart, Edna— Simpson, Second Row—Mahew, Anna— Bowes, Madeline Margaret— Torrance, Esther Third Row—Lindquist, Helen— Goodwin, Naomi— Kohout, Virginia— Gerhart, Fauller, Helen Fourth Row—Riley, Catherine— Hogan, Dorothy— Yingling, Mary— Huegel, Irene— Johnson, Helen Top Row—Ring, Isabelle— Howard, Ruth— Johnson, Betty— Eger, Dorothy Eleanor— Walker, Kathleen Band First Row—Trezise, John— Schau, George— Simpson, William— Cook, Wilbur— Dippel, Raymond— Smiley, David De Tuerk, Paul— Reichart, Paul— Clouser, John Phillips, John— Lind, Bendz— Powell, Paul— Reichart, Edward Second Row—Smith, Edward— Constantine, Charles— Thompson, John— Trezise, Thomas-Swiderski, Joseph— Shepard, Donald— Milner, Norman Third Row—Kubeja, Leonard— Pauli, Edwin— Mannion, John-De Vries, John— Foringer, Owen— Roster, Edward Fourth Row—Fisher, Charles— Hoffman, Edward— Stanopiewicz, Joseph— Sulkowski, John— Joyce, Robert— Starks, Raymond— Becker, Alban— Chambers, Roger Top Row—Weber, George— Roth, Joseph— Burdell, John— Cox, Ray— Frank, Robert— Cranch, Edward The following students have been of direct and valuable assistance in securing the financial success of this volume: Adams, Vera Amann, Harry Anderson, Lillian Anderson, Raymond Andrusking, Sigmund Barclay, Jean Bengston, Elbert Boltz, Helena Boyce, Benton Bright, Betty Buettner, Iris Burdell, John Bushar, Doris Carter, Robert Chitwood, Hazel Cooper, Margaret Cotter, Jeanette Cranch, Doris Diesel, Florence Eisert, Dolores Emerson, Howard Emerson, Oscar Fargo, Kenneth Flaugh, Ida Gerhart, Eleanor Hall, Ruth Heck, Margaret Howard, Ruth Humphreys, Oleta Knoll, Harriett Kolar, Helen Krimmel, Frank Lanagan, Thomas Lechtner, Mary Levick, Burnette Lind, Eleanore Linse, Francis Martin, Alex Massey, Mary Wilma McCarthy, Vincent McCollum, Betty McEnteer, Virginia McCurdy, Frederick McCurdy, Howard McManus, John Miller, George Mooney, Margaret Anne Morehouse, William O’Neil, Marguerite Papandrew, Tom Pauli, Edwin Richardson, Vera Roesner, Milton Rohrbacher, Vivian Rose, Mary Schau, George Schick, La Rue Schuster, Virginia Scott, Thora Scrafford, Ralph Senkiewicz, Carl Shadle, Oliver Shemloff, Ben Simpson, William Stafford, Jack Steele, Fred Stunder, Catherine Van Amburg, Frederick Wells, Irvin Werzel, Laura Wood, Jack Wrobell, Henry Yokes, Madeline Young, John 108 Hiteraru 109 Out of the Smoke, Rose Gold “Out of the smoke, rose gold.” Beauty often rises from that which promised none. As a fog rises silently above the city it has enveloped, the sun, striking the towers and turrets as they gleam through the mist, shines with dazzling brilliancy. Thus, in many aspects of life may be found confirmation of the poet’s thought that the color rose-gold emerges after the smoke has cleared. In the realm of nature, beauty oft appears amid dreary suroundings. Gazing at the mud and slime of a river bottom, one would scarcely believe that a lily, with petals of celestial white centered round gleaming gold, could find its origin there. A symbol of purity, the lily has risen from filth. While wandering in the dark early hours of morning underneath a starless sky, one would not guess that dawn was near, that soon the sun, a ball of rosy gold, would begin its daily course. The death of one plant or animal, while a small tragedy in itself, is but the fulfillment of nature’s plan to provide food for another. As the poet expresses it, “Out of the dead, cold ashes, Life again.” And thus is kept the eternal balance of the universe. In the scientific world, gold often rises from the smoke in a very literal sense. By the destructive distillation of coal, a material of no striking beauty, we derive gases, tars and coke. These products are not more beautiful than the original coal; and yet! the tars produce dyes of brilliant hue, while the gas and coke furnish cheer and warmth in many homes. After centuries of struggle and slow development, ancient government reached its pinnacle in the Roman Empire. Following internal decline of the government, the barbarian hosts from the North swept through every barrier and destroyed in a few, short years that which the toil of ages had produced. Then came the Dark Ages, almost wholly lacking in education or wise government. But “the old order changeth, yielding place to new,” for out of these ruins have sprung our modern methods of government: autocracy without tryanny, and our own beloved democracy. In the world of art, similar conditions were experienced. Although Rome destroyed the Grecian government, she preserved its culture. The arts and sciences, and even the customs of the Greeks were emulated by their Roman conquerors. But the savage hordes from Gaul and Germany had no more respect for the Roman cul- 110 ture than for the government. In the centuries after the invasion by these tribes, very little progress was made along cultural lines. Except in the monasteries, illiteracy prevailed. Subsequently, even the cloisters, the refuge of scholars, were destroyed. Literature experienced an irretrievable loss in the disappearance of many valuable manuscripts. Today, however, the world is rapidly regaining her lost treasure. Lengthy, wordy forms are giving way to shorter, more concise expressions. Less frequently is one lovely, beautifully expressed thought burdened with unnecessary or commonplace ones. The gold has survived and the dross has been discarded. In music, the style of Beethoven, Chopin, and Wagner, once novel, has become classical. Beauty of theme has taken precedence over unanimity of form. Jazz has appeared on the musical horizon. Will it, in time, also rise from the present chaos into golden harmony? Hand in hand with the progress in all these fields has evolved a finer, greater race of men. Developing from cruel, selfish savages, men have learned to live in communities; or in other words, they have become civilized. The time has passed when each man was a law unto himself. The world presses us too closely. Step by step, the human race has passed through three stages. First, came prehistoric men who roamed the forest alone and had little thought but for selfpreservation. Slowly, these savages grouped themselves into bands. The leader, who was chosen for his physical prowess, had almost complete power over his followers. Force ruled, and might made right. The principle was demonstrated further in the feudal system. Gradually, an enlightened few have so influenced the masses that a new standard of ethics has been established. Men have adapted themselves to community life, have learned to obey certain social laws, to control their own desires, and thus to govern themselves and live together in harmony. Here is gold risen from the smoke. The race, moreover, is composed of individuals. Then, it is through them, that the advancement must have been made. All persons are born selfish, yet from these beings have risen many great, fine souls, forgetful of self. What has made the difference? There has been much controversy among psychologists concerning the relative importance of heredity and environment. While both are important, is it not true that one influences the other? Cannot the good be developed, and the evil subordinated? Colorful, glorious personalities have many times risen from a drab background. For example, think of Edward Bok, or Booker T. Washington. Poverty, lack of education, physical deformities, apparent lack of opportunities or encouragement, ordinarily obstacles, have often proved to be only stepping stones to success. To quote Shakespeare, “Sweet are the uses of adversity.” Are not Steinmetz and Edison illustrations of this truth? How many benefits to mankind have been the result of some misfortune? Who can say that the many plans for the furtherance of world peace are not the result of the World War? During the dark days of that terrible struggle, men acquired the spirit of brotherly love. Priceless peace is rising from the smoke of battle. Out of the void, came form; out of ugliness, grew beauty; out of ignorance, developed knowledge; out of tryanny, evolved tolerance; out of dreams, came forth truth; out of the commonplace, appeared the genius; “out of the smoke, rose gold.” —BETTY C. BRIGHT THE GOSSIPS During the long golden hours, the sweetest and fairest rose in the garden was hanging her head. Early one morning she was found shedding many tears. Low gossipy talk could be heard all through.the bowers. The ugly faded pansy was telling the lily that the wild bee who had been hanging about the rose had gone and left her quite alone. “I knew how it would end when he came with his airs and his speeches, but none of you would believe me,” scoffed the pansy. “You are wrong, replied the lily. “He called on me once. I suppose he would have come again if I had asked him.” “Wasn’t the rose proud when she won his attentions?” queried the violet. “We all might have known that it meant no good to her. The bee has traveled far and wide, and he has been even in the prince’s garden.” “I thought he was grand. He wore such a pretty cloak of gold,” said the larkspur, defensively. “Yes, I saw him tap your cheek and fly by to the rose,” laughed the hollyhock. “I gave him the cold shoulder, because I knew he had been only flirting with the rose.” “I knew what he was all the time,” spoke the peony. “I thought I would warn her. But then on the other hand, it was no affair of mine.” “Oh, well,” cried the columbine, shrugging her shoulder, “I knew that bee was a flirt, but as the rose has always been so petted, I thought a lesson would do her good.” Just then they heard the sounds of a love song. The rose began to lift her bowed head. In a second the voices of the gossips were hushed. The dark glossy bee kissed the rose murmuring, “My darling, I’ve roamed the world over and nothing like you in the universe grows.” —DOROTHY KING TOP SHELVES Storing on top shelves, in attics, in nooks and corners is, I have learned, the hobby of all normal women. I have often wondered whether there exists a woman who does not pack away old clothes, scraps of ribbon or silk, with a, “This will come in handy some day.” The ribbon is stored away, forgotten, and when the time for a bit of ribbon arrives, it is procured at the nearest dry goods store. Here again a scrap may remain, only to be stored away into another nook or top shelf. Attics! Top shelves! The mere words bring childhood memories before me. I remember particularly one of my mother’s friends, who was seriously afflicted with this habit of storing away things. One of my greatest pleasures was to wander 112 around the attic of her house or to sit on a box, dangle my legs and munch an apple while she rummaged through trunks and boxes and entertained me with the history of an article she happened to pull to the light. Silver-buckled pumps, dainty parasols, puffed sleeves, gloves, huge hats—all tumbled out in confusion. Here too were gilt frames, vases, lamps, books and discarded furniture. It was amusing to sit before a large photograph or painting and look upon the very formal men in stiff collars and stovepipe hats or derbies. Was it possible that those dignified women could walk and breathe in those tight-waisted dresses with balloon sleeves, in those tightly laced shoes? How could anyone help looking dignified and haughty with a floppy, very much decorated hat? Why did they carry parasols when a hat as large as that would protect one from the sun? I was deeply impressed with the stiffness of these photographs and would run to the window to breathe a sigh of relief that I was not living in an age like that. Here my imagination would wander to fancy dress balls, and farther back “In days of old, When knights were bold, And women as frail as flowers—” As I grow older, I feel this mania grow upon me and I secretly believe that I too shall some day be the proud possessor of an over-stuffed attic, top shelves, and crowded corners. —ELIZABETH WINKELMES THE DREAM THAT NEVER FADES As I lay dreaming beside the babbling brook that twisted and wound its way down the valley, I thought of the time when I was a schoolboy. The old red school-house that had withstood the vicissitudes of half a century is now desolate. This schoolhouse had but one room, warmed in winter by the cherry fireplace and cooled in summer by the sweet scented breezes which floated down the valley. The only entrance was shaded by two tall and stately oaks which bore the deep cut initials of many boys and girls. My own initials were there, carved in eighteen ninety-eight when I was an urchin of eight years. I remember how I had labored over those inartistic initials for one whole recess period. I also remember the old water pump where I had quenched my thirst after many games at cricket. From that pump was poured forth the best water that could be had for miles around. It even cured old Sammy’s wart, for he had put thirteen drops of this good water on it when the moon was full. Well I remember the time we muffled the old brass bell and how the teacher -tugged frantically at the bell rope while we giggled and laughed. My school days may be gone, but my dreams will never cease. . r... .i ... —FRED STEELE A CHAPTER ON EYES My eye is half closed. Not that I am deformed or have recently received a blow from a better boxer, but that I often see things that I pretend I do not see. I must keep my eye half winked in order to preserve friendships and not to provoke vexing apologies. A true friend is one who loves you and can overlook your faults. For this reason it is best to keep your eye half-winked. You know “fools rush in where angels fear to tread.” Uncovering a friend’s fault boldly, and before his eyes, is also something not deemed entirely wise. If you have good morals and high ideals, it would be well not to notice the things your friend—not so strong in character—does. You can teach him a lesson by holding steadfast to your ideals, for he will see through contrast wherein he is deficient. Another reason why I keep my eye half closed is because it is valuable in getting out of tight places. If perchance, you enter a cafe that is a trifle noisy and boisterous, you may easily walk out with a smile on your face to replace the frown of disgust which you feel. Acting in this way might also help you get out of bad company. It might help you to back out—unweakened—of some enterprise, because “conscience decays our strong intent.” It will invariably benefit you if you learn to keep your eye half closed. —JOHN PINAR SPRING Spring is the delightful season that sets all hearts singing, but the song of the melancholy heart is of a minor strain. Mixed with the joyousness is a yearning, an aching, a dry expression which is afforded no outlet in tears. It is then that memories come drifting back. When I sit beside an open window, I sometimes hear the faint rumbling and whistling of some distant train which seems to beckon my thoughts to childhood days. My first visions are of little friend Marion who has long since gone afar forever. With the guiding companionship of my father, we often roamed in the open for hours. How well I remember the broad expanse of green meadow and the great rippling pond of blue, white, and gold. What a pang I felt when I was told that the frantically fluttering and screeching bird on high was lost and how I hoped for hjs safety. As I meditate thus, my gaze turns and rests on our aged neighbor who placidly sits in an old rocking chair fastened to the limbs of a cherry tree. The garden 114 around him is sprouting, while he ponders with folded hands in the sunlight. I wonder if his thoughts might resemble mine! Perhaps they do, but they must be pleasanter to him, for I see a smile on his lips. I rise suddenly and determine to get out of this mood. Perhaps music will cheer me up. But instead of soothing that restless spirit, it excites it all the more. I vainly attempt to occupy myself in some task, but in failing, go to the last resort— a brisk walk—and try to dispel that treacherous melancholy which tempts one to live in the past and dream of the present. —LAURA WERZEL TO When purple dusk of Heaven’s floor Creeps up behind the hill, And shadows flit past yonder door On winged feet but still, When noon-tide sun in bright array Sweeps scorching o’er the plain, And sultry breeze of later day Is cooled by sparkling rain, When foggy veils of twilight cross The dimly lighted street, And twinkling stars begin to toss Their glow where shadows meet. When radiant beams from silver moon Fall on the glistening dew,— ’Tis then that morning, night and noon Come lovely thoughts of you. LIFE There come times now and then in every boy’s life When there’s nothing but sorrow and misery and strife; When the whole plain plan of life seems wrong, And there’s nothing but trouble the whole day long. Then suddenly, like the sun after rain, It all clears up and we’re happy again. For troubles must die with the close of each day; Start anew each morning with an outlook gay. Chin up, shoulders back, we’re out to fight, Away with life’s troubles, we’ll conquer by right. —Betty McCollum —Emerson Stout CRYSTAL LEAVES THE MESSAGE OF A ROSE (Written on seeing the ice frozen on the trees and bushes March, 1930) The world seems like a fairy crest, The trees have crystal leaves; Their summer green from them was wrest, By last October’s breeze. But Spring’s soft rain has giv'n instead, A crown of crystal bright To place upon her shorned head, And sparkle through the night. —Marguerite O’Neil “POEM WRITTEN ON MY FIFTEENTH BIRHDAY” I, in drowsy numbness, lay Upon soft velvet green, And heard sweet bird voices sing Their songs to me again. I shut my eyes—vain earthly cares Vanish as do ugly dreams; But angel voices, soft, sweet lays Come softly to my ears, it seems. —John Pinar SNOW There’s nothing lovelier that I know Than a country landscape fringed with snow; To see each tree crocheted with lace. That only snow-flake fingers trace. There’s nothing jollier that I know Than red-cheeked children in the snow. —Emily Hoy die DIFFERENT VIEWS OF LIFE To some, life’s a game, a gamble with chance, For those who are young, a happy romance, A playground of gay people and music and dance. The sick and the lame see not its fun, But patiently wait with countenance glum For the Sisters of Fate to solemnly come And sever the thread on which life is spun. —Gerald Murray There is love in the heart of a rose, As it nods its head full blown, Smiling and swaying so gently As though playing a game of its own. There’s a thorn on the stem of a rose, For a lad and a lass have parted With words of anger, and bitter tears. They are both left broken-hearted. There’s a song in the heart of a rose, For the clouds have passed away, And two lonely hearts have met once more For love has come to stay. —Helene Puzarowski COUNTRY PEACE I creep away From the clanging rush Of the old street cars, To the country’s hush. I list to the sigh Of the swaying grass And the murmuring waves That softly pass. I ramble on In the fragrant mist That the pale lipped moon And the stars have kissed. —Catherine Slebioda DREAMS I have a little cedar chest, And in this tiny box Are all the things I loved when small— The games and dolls and blocks. Of course they all are battered now From many years of play, But they bring back fond memories That never fade away. Of all. the things both great and small That I find in this chest, My kitten with the fluffy tail Is what I love the best. And oh, look! here is Billy, too, The circus clown so rare, Who used to jump about and yell And make the dolls all stare. So after spending near an hour A lookin’ at these things, I close the little wooden box And drift on mem’ry’s wings. —Eleanor Evans .V i' • • • •• •• • y ••• v - _ • •• V M .

Within a week he will continue on to the west coast where he will take a much needed rest. Mr. Burdell has been weakened by the hard strain of the late stock market slump, due to the fact that he has been devoting most of his time to taking the slumps out of the stock market. He refuses to give any speeches—especially to women’s clubs. JUDGE PRONOUNCES FIRST SENTENCE The recently elected Judge J. O. Hirt, pronounced his first sentence on a speeder. Incidentally the culprit was Edward Hoffman, a former East High schoolmate of the judge. Mr. Hoffman was caught speeding at seventy-five miles an hour. Judge Hirt thus pronounced the verdict, “Because of school day associations, I shall cut off twenty-five miles and fine you a dollar a mile. Fifty dollars, please!” It sounds just like John at the candy counter. It is rumored that Edward later won back his fifty dollars in a tiddle-de-winks game with Honorable Hirt. NEW CHURCH APPOINTS PASTOR Rev. Carl Forsberg has been appointed pastor of the new Swedish church. Carl is a former graduate of East High School where he did his “bit” in helping to win basketball games. You may rest assured that the new church will enter the local S. S. basketball loop. Because of Carl’s height, he can easily be seen over the pulpit. FORMER EAST HIGH SWIMMER NOW COACHING Howard Wilson, former East High athlete, is now coaching at Dumbell University. Wilson has been very successful with his water polo teams in the last few years, having won five championships. Howard has been splashing records himself. GETS POSITION Prof. Edward Hiller, formerly of East High where he was known as “Muckle,” has been appointed to the postion vacated by Mr. Ralph E. Harbold. “Muckle” will now enter his former school as a teacher of history. It is said that Mr. Harbold was Edward’s inspiration during his school days. MORE ENTRIES Eugene Engelskirger and Charles Lenkner have entered Bengston’s transcontinental peanut rolling contest. The winner gets the largest peanut in the world and a trip to North Warren. Eugene and Charles are being backed by all the students at East High, their former school. DISCOVERS NEW EXPLOSIVE Francis Linse, popular chemist, has just discovered a new explosive which he calls “Franboom.” It is said to have enough force to blow up anyone without his feeling it. Mr. Linse, it has been said, got his start in the East High School laboratory where he once tried to blow himself up. His assistant is Mr. Henry Wrobell, a former schoolmate. PLANNING TRIP TO THE MOON After much calculation on the part of Mr. La Rue Schick and Mr. Emerson Stout, former East High graduates, it has been decided that a trip to the moon is possible. They now have under construction a large aluminum cylinder which will be shot from a powerful cannon with sufficient force to send it to the moon. Sandwich loaf bread will constitute the provisions. They believe that the moon is made of cheese and therefore they will have plenty to eat by simply making cheese sandwiches. 118 ENTERS RING Mr. Frederick Van Amburg has announced his intention of entering the ring in the heavyweight division. His announcement has not been a surprise, as he has been in training for the past year. It is expected that he will rise to the first rank of the division very quickly, for he reminds one so much of the Great Primo Camera who had such a successful knocking-out season back in 1930-31. Mr. Van Amburg is being managed by Kenneth Fargo. A NEW ENDURANCE FAD Oscar Palmquist, well known athlete and former graduate of East High School, is on his way to a new endurance record. He is trying to find out how long he can row a row-boat around in a circle. He is performing in the middle of the Erie Bay and crowds gather on the public dock to watch him. He has been at it for seventy-one hours and intends to splash water for several more days. His food is taken out to him by Joseph Selleny, also formerly of East High. Joseph swims out to Oscar every five hours with food and Oscar’s favorite bottle of pop. THE EYE OF THE FOOTLIGHTS John De Tuerk and Abe Heller have just finished a successful “wisecracking” tour. It is rumored that they are now going on Broadway at a $900 a week salary. Abe has requested that the iris stop sending him fan mail, but ohn wants it to continue. He says he gets a kick out of watching Abe blush while reading the letters. Margaret Phillips is now taking the part of the leading lady in the latest Kickspearian play, “I Have Insommnia.” The part formerly was played by Vera Richardson who was taken ill. Howard Trostmiller, former East High athlete, is making a big hit on Broadway with his dancing and singing act. Howard got his inspiration while taking part in some Indian scenes at his former school. DO YOU KNOW That George Schau is known as the “Little Man of Wall Street?” That Donald Zimmerman has gone to the North Pole to look for oil? That Ruth Hall and Vivian Rohrbacher are rivals in the backward typwriting contest of the United States? They both have typed eighty backward words a minute. That Gerald Murray, African big game hunter, has just captured the famous Woofle Bird which is shaped like an aeroplane? That Edward Gehrlein is a butler in the White House? That the Misses Dorothy St. Lawrence and Margaret Simpson have just returned from Paris where they have been buying new dresses? That Milton Roesner is captain of the MacTavish cup tennis team? The cup has to be won twenty-five years in succession before Mac Tavish will donate another. Just like a Scotchman! That Catherine Stunder has just finished a new poem called “Rain in the Desert?” SOCIETY NOTES Miss Eleanore Zielinsky, a recent graduate of East High, has returned from Eygpt, where she climbed the pyramids. She is the first woman to accomplish such a feat, She was ably assisted in this work by John Burdell, a noted scientist. One of the most spectacular weddings in this country was performed recently on the shores of Presque Isle when Miss Kate Stunder, a man-hater of East High, was united in bonds of matrimony to Mr. John Pinar who recently found a new way of eating watermelon without swallowing the seeds. The Misses Ruth Clausson, Helen Berkheimer,' and Winifred Gillis have recently been awarded the county prize for raising chickens. The number which they submitted at the County Fair was seven hundred thousand. This noble idea took root when they viewed the noted performance, “Adam and Eva” given by the Class of 1930.

A motor-car was rushing at him from one direction, a motorcycle from another, a steam truck was coming from behind, and a taxicab was speedily approaching. Zip-zip! Zing-zing! He looked up, and saw dii-ectly above him an airship in rapid descent. There was but one chance. He was standing upon a manhole cover. Quickly seizing it, he lifted the lid and jumped into the hole just in time to be run over by an underground train. Bobby—“Daddy, look!

Abner, ain’t that nice?” said the girl. “Ain’t what nice?” asked Abner. “Why, the popcorn; it smells so awfully good,” replied the girl. “It does smell kind o’ fine,” drawled the youth. “I’ll jest drive a little closer so you can get a better smell.” A suburban housewife relates overhearing this conversation between her Cape girl and the one next door: How are yoi, Katje?” “I’m well; I like my yob. We got cremated cellar, cemetery plumbing, elastic lights and a hoosit.” “What's a ‘hoosit?’ Katje?” “Oh, a bell rings. You put a thing to your ear.

Who is this, I say?” Man at the other end—“Haven’t got time to guess riddles. Tell me yourself who you are.” An absent-minded man was interrupted as he was finishing a letter to his wife, in the office. As a result, the signature read: Your loving husband, Hopkins Bros. The fact that his two pet bantam hens laid very small eggs troubled little Johnnie. At last he was seized with an inspiration. Johnnie’s father, upon going to the fowl-run one morning, was surprised at seeing an ostrich egg tied to one of the beams, with this injunction chalked above it: “Keep your eye on this and do your best.” Chinaman: “You tellee me where railroad depot?” Citizen: “What’s the matter, John?

I had hardly entered the building before everything swam before me.” Howard T.—“The Welsh rarebit did it.” Oscar P.—“No, it was the lobster.” Fred Van A.—“I think it was the mince pie.” Bill E.—“No, I have a simpler explanation than that.

Couldn’t yer make it a quarter an’ thoroughly enjoy yerself?” “My dear, listen to this,” exclaimed the elderly English lady to her husband, on her first visit to the States. She held the hotel menu almost at arm’s length, and spoke in a tone of horror: “Baked Indian pudding! Can it be possible in a civilized country?” Betty J.—“Is it possible to confide a secret to.you?” Helen L.—“Certainly, I will be as silent as a grave.” Betty J.—“Well, then, I have a pressing need for two bucks.” Helen L.—“Do not worry. It is as if I had heard nothing.” A comedian says that many years ago when he was a member of a company playing “She Stoops to Conquer,” a man without any money, wishing to see the show, stepped up to the box office in a small town and said: “Pass me in, please.” The box-office man gave a loud, harsh laugh. “Pass you in? What for?” he asked. The applicant drew himself up and answered haughtily: “What for? Why, because I am Oliver Goldsmith, author of the play.” “Oh, I beg your pardon, sir,” replied the box-office man, as he hurriedly wrote out an order for a box. A darky meeting another coming from the library with a book accosted him as follows: “What book you done got there, Ras-tus?” “ ‘Last Days of Pompeii’.” “Last Days of Pompey? Is Pompey dead? I never heard about it. Now what did Pompey die of?” “I don’t exactly know, but it must hab been some kind of ’ruption.” One day a teacher was having a first-grade in physiology. She asked them if they knew that there was a burning fire in the body all of the time. One little girl spoke up and said: “Yes’m, when it is a cold day, I can see the smoke.” Farmer Jones: “I’ve bought a barometer, Hannah, to tell when it’s going to rain, ye know.” Mrs. Bardnes: “To tell when it’s going to rain!

There’s my left foot. That’s two. Two and one make three. Three feet make a yard, and I want to go out and play in it!” Author: “Would you advise me to get out a smaller edition?” Publisher: “Yes, the smaller the better. The more scarce a book is at the end of four or five centuries, the more money you realize from it.” Ambitious Author: “Hurray! Five dollars for my latest story, ‘The Call of the Lure’!” Fast Friend: “Who from?” A. A.: “The express company. They lost it.” Miss Thompson: “If a man saves $2.00 a week, how long will it take him to save a thousand?” H. Laird: “He never would, ma’am.

A slick salesman sold me some oil stock and got every cent I owned. What can I offer you now?” “Well, you might give me his name and address.” She advanced to the paying teller’s window and, handing in a check for fifty dollars, stated that it was a birthday present from her husband and asked for payment. The teller informed her that she must first endorse it. “I don’t know what you mean,” she said hesitatingly. “Why, you see,” he explained, “you must write your name on the back, so that when we return the check to your husband, he will know we have paid the money.” “Oh, is that all?” she asked, relieved . . . . One minute elapses. Thus the ‘endorsement’: “Many thanks dear, I’ve o-nt the money. Your loving wife, Ethel.” Johnny: “What makes the new baby at your house cry so much, Tommy?” Tommy: “It doesn’t cry so very much —and, anyway, if all your teeth were out, your hair off, and your legs so weak you couldn’t stand on them, I guess you’d feel like crying yourself.” John: “You work hard. How many hods of mortar have you carried up that ladder today?” Bill: “Hush, man. I’m foolin’ the boss. I’ve carried this same hodful up an’ down all day, and he thinks I’ve been workin’.” The aviator’s wife was taking her first trip with her husband in his airship.

I think I can see it glistening on the ground.” “Keep your seat, my dear,” said the aviator, “that’s Lake Erie.” Aviator (to young assistant who has begun to be frightened) : “Well, what do you want now?” Assistant (whimpering) : “I want the earth.” “Were any of your boyish ambitions every realized?” asked the sentimentalist. “Yes,” replied the practical person. “When my mother used to cut my hair, I often wished I might be bald-headed.” A near-sighted old lady at a dinner party, one evening, had for her companion a very bald-headed old gentleman. While talking to the gentleman at her right, she dropped her napkin unconsciously. The bald-headed gentleman, in stooping to pick it up, touched her arm. The old lady turned around, shook her head, and very politely said: “No melon, thank you.” Visitor (at private hospital)—“Can I see Lieutenant Barker, please?” Matron—“We do not allow ordinary visiting. May I ask if you’re a relative?” Visitor (boldly)—“Oh, yes! I’m his sister.” Matron—“Dear me! I’m very glad to meet you. I’m his mother.” —Punch. “How far have you studied, Johnny?” inquired the teacher. “Just as far as the book is dirty, ma’am.” “Has Owens ever paid back that $10 you loaned him a year ago?” “Oh, yes; he borrowed $25 more from last week and took only $15.” Wife: “Oh, George, do order a rat-trap to be sent home today?” George: “But you bought one last week.” Wife: “Yes, dear, but there’s a rat in that.” “Have you been touching the barometer, Jane?” “Yes’m.

And when do you expect to strike it, my good man?” “On Saturday!” replied the other, and resumed operations. Tramp—“Madam, I was at the front __9t Kind-hearted Lady—“My poor man. Another victim of that terrible war. Here’s a dollar. Tell me how you got into these straits.” Tramp—“I was going to say that I was at the front door an’ nobody answered, so I came around to the back. Thankee, mum.” “Say,” said the man as he entered the clothing store. “I bought this suit here less than two weeks ago, and it is rusty-looking already.” “Well,” replied the clothing dealer, “I guaranteed it to wear like iron.” Dentist, speaking to patient about to have a tooth extracted: “Have you heard the latest song hit?” Patient: “No. What is the title of it?” Dentist: “The Yanks Are Coming.” Rural Constable: “Now then, come out o’ that. Bathin’s not allowed ’ere after 8:00 P. M.” The Face in the Water: “Excuse me, Sergeant, I’m not bathing: I’m only drowning.” —Punch. A young man had been digging for about an hour when his spade turned up a quarter. Ten minutes later he found another quarter. Then he found a dime. Then he found a quarter again. “By gosh!” he said, “I’ve struck a silver mine,” and straightening up, he felt something cold slide down his leg. Another quarter lay at his feet. He grasped the truth: There was a hole in his pocket. “How fast is your car, Jimpson?” asked Harkaway. “Well,” said Jimpson, “it keeps about six months ahead of my income.” “What is the name of your automobile?” “I don’t know.” “You don’t know! What do your folks call it?” “Oh, as to that, father always says ‘The Mortgage’; brother Tom calls it ‘The Fake’; mother, ‘My Limousine’; sister, ‘Our Car’; grandma, ‘The Peril’; and the neighbors, ‘The Limit’.” —Life. Two street peddlers in Bradford bought a horse for $11.25. It was killed by a motor-car one day and the owner of the car paid them $115 for the loss. Thereupon a new industry sprang up on the roads of that town. Foist: “Wipe off your chin.” Secund: “Can’t. It’s fastened on.! Then there was the Scotchman who kissed the neighbor’s baby every time it finished eating an ice cream cone. “Gotta chew?” “Naw. Do it of my accoi'd.” Indignant Man (who has leaned against a newly painted rail) : “Why don’t you put ‘Wet Paint’ on that rail?” Painter: “I just did.” Bricklayer (to mate, who had just had a hodful of bricks fall on his feet) : “Dropt ’em on yer toe! That’s nothin’. Why, I seen a bloke get killed stone dead, an’ ’e never made such a bloomin’ fuss as you’re doin’.” An “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” company was starting to parade in a small New England town when a big gander from a farmyard near at hand waddled to the middle of the street and began to hiss. One of the double-in-brass actors turned toward the fowl and angrily exclaimed: “Don’t be so dern quick to jump at conclusions. Wait till you see the show.” 124 g U K ck y« .r I t y «. rcM ft. fc prselj. Do Wfcfw 1 I jk� t t®ok ft t«� l BiH-finitk ?

I just heard her say, ‘Send it up C. O. D.’ Isn’t that where we live?” “Advertising costs me a lot of money.” “Why, I never saw your goods advertised.” “They aren’t. But my wife reads other people’s ads.” “How old are you, Tommy?” asked a caller. “Well, when I’m home I’m five, when I’m in school I’m six, and when I’m on the cars I’m four.” “Pa,” said little Joe, “I bet I can do something you can’t.” “Well, what is it?” demanded his pa. “Grow,” replied the youngster triumphantly. She: “I consider, John, that sheep are the stupidest creatures living.” He: (absent-mindedly) “Yes, my lamb.” “Help! Help!” cried an Italian laborer near the mud flats of Harlem river. “What’s the matter there?” came a voice from the construction shanty. “Queek! Bringa da shov’! Bringa da peek!

It’s your dressmaker’s bill.” Village Grocer: “What are you running for, sonny?” George S.: “I’m trying to keep two fellers from fightin’.” Village Grocer: “Who are the two fellows?” George S.: “Bill Perkins and me.” —Puck. “What have you in the shape of cucumbers this morning?” asked a customer of the new grocery clerk. “Nothing but bananas, ma’am,” was the answer. And then there was Joe Selleny who, when standing on the pier at the foot of State Street immediately after his arrival on the Tristam, saw a sea diver come to the surface, whereupon he remarked: “Well, if I had thought of that, I would have walked over from Canada myself.” Ike: “The man that held me up yesterday took $5.00 on account.” Mike: “Five dollars on account!

The entire staff wishes to express its appreciation for the hearty cooperation and spirit of good will shown by the entire school in assisting in this work. Special mention should be given to Miss Booth, Mrs. Sackett, Miss McConkey, Miss Gerboth, Mr. Heck and Mr. Harbold who have assisted in the supervision of this undertaking. We wish to thank the A. K. D. Printing Company, the Erie Engraving Company, and the McDannell Studio for the manner in which they have cooperated with us.

The following pages contain advertisements of various business houses of the city. They have taken space in this volume for two reasons: 1. They are convinced that this is a valuable medium of advertising. 2. Their interest in our high schools is sufficient to make them glad to help us in the production of this volume. In order that their judgement as to the value of this space may be justified we ask our readers not to stop here but to note carefully who have advertised in this book, and what their products are; and in order that the spirit of civic which they have shown in buying space may be matched by the high schools which they have benefitted, we ask you to give serious consideration to them in the matter of purchases or other business. Very sincerely, THE EDITOR Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars; be satisfied with your possessions but not contented with yourself until you have made the best of them; despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness, and fear nothing except cowardice; be governed by your admirations rather than by your disgust; covet nothing that is your neighbor’s except his kindness of heart and gentleness of manners; think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends.—Henry VanDyke.

He has been informed through our style observers at Princeton, Harvard and other leading universities, that the single breasted suit with either the notched or peaked lapels will be the favorite of university men this spring. He also knows that for a long time the three button model was worn by practically everybody; but, at this very moment the trend is toward the two button type.

Dougherty—School of Hard Knocks VIII Tablets — But Not of Paper When Sennacherib was preparing to take his Assyrian hordes down through Asia Minor 2600 years ago, he gathered together his army stores and recorded the receipts of grain and cattle as a matter of accountancy. But the records of Assyria about 700 B. C. were not those of America in this year of grace, 1930. They used tablets for their writing, but their tablets were of clay and the bookkeeper could never tear a sheet loose to put it in a file. Their records were enduring enough, but it must have been quite a job to dig the proper receipt from a barrel of tablets that had been collecting for ten years. Today the tablet is still a favorite writing surface, used by every school child. Today’s tablet of white paper, light and convenient, bought for a nickel or a dime, is vastly better than those that Sennacherib with all his wealth could command.
