Harbold, in appreciation of his scholarly teaching, his willing cooperation and cheerful encouragement in all of our activities, we, the class of nineteen hundred and thirty-one, dedicate this annual. 7 ■ s The Hopes of East A. We hope to have a new gymnasium constructed in the south end of the shop wing where the auto and drafting rooms are now located. With the gymnasium will come additional storage rooms, dressing rooms, and showers. The entire south end of the shop wing will be given over to the athletic department. B. We hope that with our new boundaries, Hast will increase its senior high enrollment. We can care for an enrollment of 2100 students without congestion. At the present time our senior high enrollment is the lowest in the city. An increase in numbers will greatly strengthen our school in all its activities. C. We hope to keep our present organization intact. I believe we have the strongest teaching personnel in all departments that we have ever had. If we can avoid the loss of good teachers and can be fortunate enough to add good ones when needed, our future is bright indeed. D. Seniors—What can you do? May I suggest that you become enthusiastic alumni. Don’t let your spirit die. Join the association and loyally do your part to keep East at the top. You have my best wishes. —John W. Ray. 0 10 Senior Members of the Staff Harbold, R. E. Faculty Advisor Sackett, B. L. Faculty Advisor McConkey, Lillian Faculty Advisor Bright, Betty C. Editor-In-Chief Heck, H. F.

Farley February 16, 1931 We dedicate this page to the memory of our former Assistant Principal, Miss Maria S. Farley, whose life was spent in the service of Youth. Her scholarship, pluck, and high standards of work and honor held us to our best effort. She gave of herself most freely, and we shall long remember. 1? She has gone ahead to the Great Beyond, From pupil, neighbor, kin. If she at the gate with the permits wait, She’ll bid us all come in. —George Weber. “Kin of the East High Klan” Sing a song for dear old East, Cheer the best you can, Fly her colors in the sky, Kin of East High Klan. Smash the foe that doth defy, Guard her spotless name, Fight the game for dear East High, Lead her on to fame. Love for East will tender be, Through the live-long years, Times of strife we give for thee Three big rousing cheers.— March her on to victory, Do the best you can, Fight the game for dear old East, Kin of East High Klan. —George Weber. 18 Stella Goodenow 19 Watkins, Elmer President Miss Booth Faculty Advisor Busbar, Doris Vice- President Barclay, Jean Commencement Speaker Mr. Christoff Faculty Advisor Weber, George Secretary-Treasurer Miss Vance Faculty Advisor 20 Mid-Year Class of 1931 In February of 1927 a valiant class of students, with heads held high, and with hopes of a grand future before them, entered the ninth grade of East High School and decided it was about time they join in activities and stir up a bit of excitement. Now everybody knows what happens to mere freshmen; not being exceptional in any particular way, these ninth-graders were doomed to the usual end. After receiving the customary snubbing, they soon learned their rank, which was at the bottom rung of the four-step ladder. At first they stood around dejectedly, not knowing just what to do, but as they glanced upward and saw the exalted position the seniors occupied, they decided the climb was worth the attempt. For four years they struggled unceasingly, sometimes making headway, sometimes slipping back a bit; but never once stopping in their worthwhile endeavor. They have discovered that the reward for their patience and diligence is well worth the effort involved. On January 30, 1931, twenty-one students received the diplomas for which they had labored so industriously, and were told they had satisfactorily completed their high school course. Undoubtedly, on that occasion, Mr. Ray thought that he was at last getting rid of them; but they could not so readily sever the cords that bound them to their school, and with few exceptions they have returned as post graduates to resume their studies. However, as the close of the term draws nearer, they regret more and more that their days at East High School are nearing an end. And when, on the last day of school, the curtain falls forever on their high school career, it will be with a pang of sorrow that they write “Finis” on that period of life. —Doris Bushar. 21 RUSHAR, DORIS Girls Chorus-3 A, Prow Committee A, “Gypsy Rover A, “Lucky Break A, Senior Class PlayA, Class Vice-President A, Play Committee-4, School News Reporter-4.

Now we, the senior class, have come to the end of the road which represents preparation for the new life that lies before us. So recently, we were children in school, carefree and happy! Now we are men and women ready to take up the various missions that fate has decreed for us. Although we little realized it, during the past four years we have laid the foundation for our future success or failure. Many have made their start on the stage by taking part in the school plays. The future Sousas and Paderewskis may be playing in our orchestra or band. Some famous swimmer may have started training in our pool, or some great athlete have acquired his fundamentals on our championship foot-ball team. Many who have been active at East High, leave with the graduation of this class, but they are certain to come forth in the world of fame, and we shall hear of them again. In this class we have a portion of the dancers, the artists, the writers, the musicians, and the poets of the future. We have known as friends and class-mates the teachers, the lawyers, the doctors, and political leaders of the new America. We stand in awe upon the threshold of a new life, wondering what the future holds for us. And so it is with a sense of regret that we seniors of 1931 say, “Good-bye—”, 27 —Mildred Nyholnt.

It tries to lure us to the way That tears us from your breast, To make us choose a path in life, To climb with all the rest. 'Tis not a fear that holds us back, We Seniors have no fear; It is the love we have for East, That’s why we linger here. But time has conic, when we must go, Our courage we must try; With tear stained cheek and saddened heart, We bid you, East,—goodbye. 46 —George Weber. 48 Daly, Mary Jane President Shenker, William Vice-President Becker, Alban Secretary-Treasurer Ford, Iola Mozdy, Florence Eickelsdorfer, Frances Ilucgal, Edna Mae Weber, Ruth Vollmer, Myrtle Burke, Clara Eppler, Donald Lannigan, Thomas Kernick, Ruth Divens, Dorothy Stroble, Margaret Arrowsmith, Robert 49 50 Gorman, Jean Edmonds, James Frank, Robert Cooper, Margaret Mohney, Helen McCauley, Dorothy Rudd, Harry McCarthy, Vincent O’Brien, Donald Y’aple, Robert Lord, Margaret Heprich, Frieda Burdick, Marion Speer, Wallace Levick, Burnett Herbstritt, Clarice Mid-Year Class of 1932 In 1926, we the present 12B seniors, wandered into the lower halls of East High School. After much groping about for the office, we gathered enough courage to sneak quietly to the main floor, and present ourselves to Mr. Ray, as aspirants for membership. We were told where to go and what to do, but most of us forgot our instructions and found ourselves seated on the hard (and I mean hard) benches of the office waiting timidly for our first scolding, for tardiness. We soon found that the world into which we were so suddenly thrust was a lively one and that we must hustle. During the first two years our terms passed slowly; we looked forward to the senior school as an ideal resting place for tired students. It was at the end of those two years that we were lifted to the exalted position of freshmen. To us the rest of the school meant nothing then. We were the outstanding class, it seemed. We were really a part of the student body of East High School, and we were expecting to show our merits. But our happiness was short lived, for we were looked upon by the upperclassmen as something of which to beware. It was with much stick-to-it-ive-ness (quoted from Miss Hughes) that we struggled to become sophomores. Although this promotion didn't alter the attitude of the seniors toward us, it did put us in a position to help our school. We were ardent supporters of all sports and offered a few athletes for the approval of the coaches. Our sophomore year passed uneventfully but to our great satisfaction we moved up one more rung in the ladder of education, namely to the position of juniors. This year we were kept busy. Elections were held, committees were appointed, and plans for the social activities were made. We had really become the “right hand man” of the senior class. We did our part in planning the Junior-Senior Prom, and in carrying on dramatics and sports. And now—after five years of struggle we have reached our objective, the senior class. We have upheld the spirit of East and will continue to do so after graduation. We hope that, for other students, the senior class, as represented by us continues to be a beacon light agleam with all the glow and glamour that it cast over us. 52 —James Edmonds, 12B. June Class of 1932 In the fall of 1928, a number of us youngsters from the various public schools of Erie migrated to East High in quest of an education which seemed to us the “open sesame” to all that the world had to offer. Our first year found us developing physically and mentally under the careful guidance and scrutiny of the faculty. Some of us at this early stage of our high school education began to show promise, while others, unmindful of their opportunities, started slipping and before the year was over fell by the wayside. Our second year was really the eventful year of our high school career, in as much as we began to realize the purpose and reason behind our various school activities such as athletics, dramatics, and other forms of school procedure. At the beginning of this, our junior year, we have found ourselves somewhat better able to appreciate and understand each other. We have made many friendships among the students because of common interests. Our studies at this stage of our education become much easier for us because of the foundation laid for them in the previous years. We are now on the threshold of our fourth and final year. We anticipate the senior year with much eagerness and enthusiasm. Our greatest ambition at this time is to complete successfully our scheduled studies and graduate with honor. To the senior class we wish each member a successful conclusion to whatever venture he or she may undertake in the future. To the faculty we offer profound thanks for their patience with us, and we hope that they will watch over and lead us again in our senior year. 53 —Eleanor Mozdy. 54 Bird, John Burger, Vera Bergstrom, Esther Sullivan, Joseph President Vice• President Secretary Treasurer McEnteer, Virginia Eger, Dorothy McCurdy, Howard Wick, Albert Jant, Elsie Moran, Mary Alloway, William Cayne, Marie Ellis, Katherine Cunningham, Jerry Mozdy, Eleanor Wells, Robert Gorney, John Hartman, Eva Sagala, Helen Yokes, Madeline Adams, Vera Dunlap, Richard Cole, Lavene Benim, Frances Guelcher, Arthur Wiegand, Robert Long, Loretta Sandell, Viola Jensen, Alta Beck, Genevieve Linsey, Howell Moser, Paul • Gandy, Martha Dunham, Wilma 55 56 Swiderski, Joseph Wemyss, Gladys Noyes, Raymond Skinner, Norma Dougherty, Jeanne Dunham, Leo Stromenger, William Erb, Gladys Rutemueller, Rosemary Giles, Howard Reynolds, Mabel Baldridge, Lyle McDannell, Joseph Klugiewicz, Helen Kolar, Helen Sitzler, Robert Anderson, Raymond Rouzer, Jean Quigley, Jeannette Ricart, Edward Rastatter, Raymond Tooze, Menetha Maciejczyk, Marie Bowes, Jack Wade, Merle Tobin, Margaret Andruseko, Mary Lubiak, Stanley Burger, Verna Williamson, Thomas Shadle, Oliver Hynecek, Helen Huegel, Irene Hurley, Thomas Campbell, Raymond Barclay, Susanne 57 58 Faulhaber, Norma Eisert, Dolores Kendall, Lyle Sitzler, Raymond Carney, Jean Anderson, Lillian Vergotz, Alex Causgrove, Thomas Forest, Gladys Pas tore, Edith Starks, Raymond Stewart, Joseph Bowes, Madeline Kappel, Rudolph Schneider, Norberta Diesel, Florence Simpson, William Young, John Hopkins, Fdith Lynch,Luceal Parker, Ernest Ferguson, Lucille Michalski, Irene Trocha, Carrie Senkiewicz, Carl Hale, Ollie Margetta, Albert Schuster, Virginia Henderson, Margaret Shemloff, Ben Weber, Joseph White, Edith Hendrie, William Krimmel, Frank Hatch, Richard Torrance, Esther 59 My School Days at East High It was many and many a day ago, In the city of Erie, Pa. That I entered the portals of East High School On a warm September day. Vacation was over and school begun, And I said “Good-bye” to play. I was twelve by the record, a happy child, Just commencing the seventh grade; As I looked at the halls and rooms so wide, In amazement how ’twas made, I gasped with dismay at the classified tasks, As my card showed them arrayed. But with fun and some laughter the months rolled on, And our work started in a new year, And sometimes it was happy and sometimes sad 'Til promotion time was near. And so I came into the Freshman group And was glad that I was here. With gay dances and parties along the way, A proud Soph in that class I became, Until now I’m a Junior and quite content To do work that means no fame, I am glad I can toil in a worth while way And learn how to play the game. For the bell cannot ring, without making me sing Sincere praises of dear old East High, And the sun shall not rise, without “The Sunrise”, Where Pegasus wild can fly. As the years onward roll that reach toward my goal For the old East days, I’ll sigh.

Some of us were rather frightened at the complexity of the organization; some were gleeful over the new freedom; while others of us were just cocksure and felt we could show the officials how to run the school. Our teachers found life more or less gloomy during the period of our adjustment. We arrived in the freshmen class over a highway which our faculty considered well paved and level, but which we saw as a steep, precipitous rocky trail. We were as cheerful and noisy a group of freshmen as ever enrolled at East, but, as we neared our sophomore year, we became less wild and bold,—much more inclined to tackle a task and complete it. Now that we are sophomores we begin to realize w hat school life really means. We try to show our appreciation of it through our fine work and cooperation. As we follow the records of our graduates, a new vision comes to us. We see them among the honor students in college, in responsible positions in the business world, and in the role of good citizens. They have set the pace. We shall try to hold it. —Burton Mosher. 66 67 68 Rostock, Charlotte Nagorski, Dorothea Powley, Betty Moran, Ruth 9A Bernard, Anne Slagter, Natalie Linsey, Margaret Rouser, Phyllis Oberg, Louise Floyd, Dorothy Swanson, Martha McDannell, Arvilla Connor, Rita Winkler, Helen Yokes, Dorothy Anderson, Gladys Yingling, Louise Schaeffer, Elmer Ludwig, Valerie Jansen, Rose Heprich, Dorothy Vladimiroff, Anna Swanson, Gladys Hopkins, Shirley MacKrell, Madeline Moore, Alice VVinklemes, Mary Patch, Doris Vroblic, Millie Besaraba, Sophie Haas, Bernard Fletcher, Juanita Kraut, Ruth 10B and 9A Stazer, George Foulk, John Kuhrman, William Novak, Frank Gorzynski, Joseph Dishinger, Felix Noble, Richard Burke, Leonard Henry, William Maciejzewski, Alex Jageman, John McLeod, John Neeley, James Delaney, Jack Anderson, Edward Dumanski, Walter Coyne, John Wagner, John Foley, Jack Daniszewski, John Foringer, Owen Laird, James McCarthy, James Praetzel, Robert Tenenblum, Walter Powell, Paul Jankowski, Joe Burke, Harry Griffin, George Kelly, Gerald 69 Machine Shop BOTTOM ROW Joseph Csech Andrew Sima Alex Adatnowicz Caeser Tyczkowski Florian Wojciekowski SECOND ROW Stanley Frazkowski Anthony Jowordwicz THIRD ROW Joseph Stano Joseph Orloff Adam Cieslak Alphonse Dymski TOP ROW Sylvester Nawracki Raymond Prsybylski II.

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 wood-shops. 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. 71 Class of 1934 In September, 1930, we, the future Senior Class of ’34, entered the East High Warrior Camp to learn the habits and traits of our fellowmen. The first day was very nice. The squaws and braves treated us kindly. But—oh, the next day we were given undesirable playthings such as books, paper, and pencils. These, naturally, took all the joy out of life. Time passed quickly and we soon found ourselves learning to shoot a “bull’s-eye” in the target called Latin. This art is ages old, but it is very interesting to some people. I wonder how many arrows we lost in trying to be “perfect.” Then we had to learn to use the canoe, algebra. The paddles were the “unknown x. Many of us found them very hard to use, although our teachers tried very hard to help us understand their use. Around the campfire in ancient history, the “Medicine Man” with his wampum belt told of all the braves who had gone before. While the tales of long ago were being related, one after another, the squaws were giving vent to their “domestic arts.” Aromatic odors floated up from the huge pot that bubbled so contentedly over their campfire, in the domestic science department, making our mouths water and our stomachs unhappy. A loud “war whoop” brought us all to our feet. Scrambling and pushing, we soon reached our places of eating, but this feast must be completed within just one short half hour. Then back we went to our unfinished labor. Thus passed our freshman year. Some learned to paddle their own canoes better than others, but all of us gained valuable experience which will help us to do our part during the rest of the coming years. 72 —Phyllis Rouzer, Dorothy Floyd. 73 Rilfoil, John Footba II Ca pta i n Komora, Jack Line Coach (barter, Robert Student Manager I)e Tuerk, Paul Basketball Manager Trostmiller, Howard Student Coach Gillespie, II.

East was particularly good in field events and dashes. On May 10 there was a triangular meet with East, Dunkirk, and Central participating. Dunkirk took every first place except the 220 yard dash. East followed closely with seconds and thirds. The final score was Dunkirk 74, East 19, and Central 15. Seven days later East participated in a District Meet at Sharon. Although hopelessly outclassed, they managed to end 4th in line. Grove City was the winner scoring 39$§ points. Academy followed with 36points. Sharon was next with 31 -points, while East collected 5J points. On May 20, East held a dual meet with Meadville and won a large majority of first places and many second and third places. The final score was East 81, Meadville 43. The meet with Warren on May 24, resulted in both teams straining to give their utmost to attain victory. All of the dashes and long distance races were closely run. The superiority of the Warriors enabled East to win by a 59 —53 £ margin. The triangular mee between Academy, Central, and East on June 12, resulted in East’s being outclassed though fighting pluckily. Academy had little difficulty in capturing most of the field and long distance events but in the dashes the East men were either ahead or following closely. Central did little. The final scores were Academy K9J , Central 6, and East 303 . V© Povench, Michael. Assistant Mgr. Ilollarn, l lmmiis Senior Swimming BACK ROW Rafalowski. John MacleJewski, Alex Foley. Jack Uglow.

Each number seemed better than the one before, with the Fairy Ballet as the climax. An outstanding “hit” was the jumping rope number. There were sixteen girls each equipped with her own rope who did many difficult jumps and turns. The girls in Tactics marched and wheeled, forming stars and pivoting about, to the tune of a rousing march. Scarlet and grey overalls costumed a snappy precision number. Taps and Steps in dainty black and white harlequin cloth was a peppy number which preceded the Wedding of the Painted Doll. The boys presented some boxing and wrestling. Their tumbling was clever and much enjoyed by the audience. No gym review is complete without a drill. The clicking wand drill was a novelty in every sense. Then all present drifted away to Fairy Land and saw a fairy ballet. Silvery Moonbeams with large wings danced on tiptoe. The Fairy Queen in dress of yellow pirouetted from place to place. Her escorts were flowers, Merry Blue Bells, who danced after the queen. Even the frogs came down from their toad stools to perform an awkward dance, and the Man in the Moon danced with a Twinkling Star. A great scarf of rainbow shades was tossed and turned about by girls dressed in harmonizing costumes. With the entrance of the sun the fairies all scampered away and brought to a close a very happy evening.

The obstinacy of Abner Ketcham, the confident self-assurance of Benny, the romantic tendencies of the old maid sisters, and the tangled love affair of the hero and heroine all contributed to the lively humor that was in evidence throughout the entire play. The character parts, though difficult to enact, were well played by the students; anyone fortunate enough to witness this performance considered it a fine one in every way. Out of almost a hundred contestants for the play, Mr. Knoll, after careful consideration, chose the following students to portray the various roles: Edna Stauffer, Nora Mullett; Joseph Stewart, John Bruce; Mary Wilma Massey, Martha Mullett; Mary Jane Daly, Elmine Ludine; Lyle Baldridge, Benny Ketcham; Ray Starks, Abner Ketcham; Delvin Tooze, Tommy Lansing; Elsie Jant, Claudia Barrett; Betty Bright, Mrs. Barrett; Neil Coughlin, Mr. Martin; Howard Giles, Var Charente; Doris Bushar, Jura Charente; Vera and Verna Berger, Alphecca and Alchiba Spinster; Gladys Forest, Bella McWatt; William Simpson,Tokyo; Jack Wood, Valet; and Ed Ricart, baggage man. Miss Booth was the faculty adviser.

The play, written by Mark Ambient, portrayed in certain parts sadness, humor, and romance. The theme of the play is concerned with the life of a struggling, young musical composer, Bernard Gray, who would have been discouraged with all things had it not been for his friendship with Dolly. With the assistance of his brother, Dr. Gray, a man of the world, Bernard is given the chance to interest Ben Kershaw in his opera, “The Kingdom of Love,” which had been returned to him by many publishing corporations. Mr. Kershaw’s purchase of the opera gave Bernard a new outlook on life. By a strange turn of fate we find that Ben Kershaw, the author of Bernard’s good fortune, is the father of the charming Dolly. Many humorous moments were enjoyed at the expense of Mrs. Blower, who insisted on continually telling Bernard Gray of her three husbands. Amelia, the maid, and Hubert Gray, who had a conceited idea that all women fell in love with him at first sight, also contributed to the humorous side of the play. A delightful romance was supplied by the two brothers and Dolly. Dolly’s acceptance of the composer furnished the usual happy ending. Much credit and praise must be given to the players and to Mr. Knoll, the director, for presenting a play of this type. 113 Literary Club FIFTH ROW Kuligowski, Edmond Kantz, Frederick Shniderman, Harry Becker, Janies Miller, Robert Schaeffer, Elmer Dippel, Raymond Mussar, James Smith, William Carlson, Leroy FOURTH ROW Yingling, Louise Powley, Betty Adams, Anna Merkle, Marie Burger, Verna Ford, Iola El her, Betty Foster, Birdina Stauffer, Edna Moran, Mary THIRD ROW Patch, Doris Moore, Alice Rostock, Charlotte Scoville, Eleanor Strenio, Mary Sutch, Elizabeth Anderson, Florence Engels, Miriam Mozdy, Irene Malcolm, Agnes SECOND ROW Gurgan, Mary Rita Lindsey, Margaret Massey, Mary Wilma Anderson, Anna Mooney, Margaret Ann Rectenwald, Rita Ann Wood, Grace Boyd, Geneva McCormick, Marie Forest, Gladys Booth, Miss Miriam FIRST ROW Nielson, Margaret Pfeffer, Virginia Simmons, Myrtle Nagorski, Dorothea Yokes, Dorothy Mahoney, Rose Marie McEnteer, Virginia Burger, Vera Mozdy, Eleanor Moran, Ruth Kuehl, Rita “M” Club Leach, Myrtle Kohout, Virginia Tooze, Menetha Stauffer, Edna Chervenka, Helen Torrance, Esther Hazelton.

Teacher JUNE CLASS DANCING CHORUS Class Day—1930 ilerary Finis1 coronat opus'. American Red Cross The American Red Cross! What a wealth of associations surrounds this name! To most of us, it suggests most vividly the picture of a uniformed nurse ministering, during those dark, dreary days of 1917, to wounded and dying soldiers in improvised hospitals on the front. While the whole world awaited the outcome of the terrible struggle, she, like a ministering angel of heaven, stood beside the weary pillow of pain and death, bringing healing and balm not only to broken and bleeding bodies but to broken and bleeding hearts as well. When all that human hands could do had been done, and after she had taken the last message of a dying soldier to mother, wife or sweetheart, she would modestly open her Bible, finding comfort in the words: “In-as-much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto Me.” A grateful nation may present her with “crowns of laurel,” but the lips that can best tell of ner noble deeds, lie cold and still. Were there always loving hands to bring comfort and cleanliness to filthy and diseased bodies? No. It took years of war, crime, bloodshed, and death, before the world realized that an organization like the Red Cross was essential for the furtherance of the cause of humanity. The Red Cross owes its existence to the untiring efforts of Henry Dunant, a Swiss philanthropist, who saw the need especially in warfare of efficient nursing. As a result of the plea, a convention was held at Geneva, Switzerland in 1864, when the international Red Cross was organized. As a compliment to Switzerland, the Swiss flag with its colors reversed was adopted as the world wide insignia of humanity and neutrality. Eighteen years later Clara Barton, following in the footsteps of Dunant, finally persuaded the United States to join in this worldwide movement for humanity, with the result that in 1882 she became the first president of the American Red Cross. Within a few years the work of this great organization was extended to emergency relief in times of disaster. In the Texan Famine of 1887, the American Red Cross fed, from her great store, thousands who were suffering the tortures of starvation. During the Yellow Fever Epidemic in 1888, this great mother went forth again, nursing the fever stricken bodies back to health. When the Mississippi River overflowed her banks in 1928, the waters raged from Illinois to the Gulf of Mexico. For months, seven hundred thousand victims were given food and shelter. Special efforts were made to reunite lost families. Tong after the torrents went down and public interest in the visitation was lessened, the Red Cross kept right on with its everlasting, unshared job of reconstruction. At the present time this same great mother is still carrying on with her humanitarian duties in the drought-stricken areas of the Middlewest, where she is housing the homeless, binding up the wounds of the injured, clothing the naked, giving food to the out-stretched hands of the starving, and consoling and caring for the widow and her orphans. This neutral agency of mercy, the Red Cross, bears one symbol throughout the world; a red cross with wide arms of equal length on a white background. Against this standard no arm is raised and no gun is fired. Amidst destruction, desolation, and despair; amidst suffering, carnage, and death, floats the banner of humanity. —Edna Stauffer. 128 Aviation Has any branch of science progressed more rapidly in fifteen years than has the science of aviation? Surely none has done more for the advancement of civilization. Less than a generation ago, the first mechanical flight was made. During this time the airplane and all types of balloons have acquired outstanding significance in the commercial world and have become keen competitors of railway and other transportation lines. They have put speed into the method of doing business. During the world-series base-ball games in Washington, D. C., Frank Hawks flew from Washington to New York and delivered pictures of the games to the New York papers in twenty-two minutes. The reporters’ account of the games could not have been delivered to the telegraph offices and transmitted to the papers in the same length of time. In military tactics which have been completely revolutionized by the airplane, the airplane has profound uses in combat, pursuit, and observation. Now a country without an up-to-date air corps could not possibly defend herself against invasion. The legends handed down to us tell that many attempts to fly were made by ancient people. The most that the experimenters were able to gain by their hard work were short discouraging flights which often resulted in fatal accidents. The greatest fault of these pioneer aviators lay in the fact that they tried to imitate nature too closely. The flights that were made before those of the Wright brothers were of little importance. Late in the nineteenth century, two bicycle mechanics, Wilbur and Orville Wright of Dayton, Ohio, were aroused by the infant, “Aviation.” After many months of hard study on previous discoveries, they came to the front with their first glider in 1900. This glider had all the principal factors in it that had been proved successful in the previous attempts. The only new feature was the use of the aileron, which facilitated the control of the plane. The old method of controlling the stability of the plane had been the shifting of the pilot’s weight from side to side. Unlike most of the other inventors, the Wright brothers saw a possibility of using a power plant in their glider. As in the olden days, the question arose, “Where were they to get an engine suitable for such an adventure?” This difficulty did not stop them. They got to work and built a sixteen horsepower engine. Then they built the type of plane that would fit the motor. On December 17th, 1903, Orville Wright left the ground in this “foolhardy” craft (as some people called it) and stayed aloft fifty-two seconds. He had gained for himself the distinction of being the first man to make a successful sustained flight. From that time until the World War slow but steady progress was made in airplane construction. When the war broke out, the United States found its airdromes poorly equipped with slow inadequate planes which afterward proved to be death traps. It took an event like this to open the eyes of the nation to the value of aircraft. Of all the world’s brilliant flyers, Charles Lindbergh ranks as the most illustrious. It was he who first braved a non-stop flight across the Atlantic Ocean. It was he, who, through his constant study and planning, was able to succeed against dangerous obstacles. After he had conquered the Atlantic, many pilots thought by accomplishing the same feat, they would advance aviation as well as earn fame for themselves. But their poorly prepared flights, which in most cases ended in failure, led the public to believe that the airplane was still unsafe. Apparently the plane of today will endure for years to come with little radical change. The problem that now remains is the development of a light, suitable engine that can be relied upon to stand any kind of flying conditions. This problem is one that may be solved by the Packard Company which is at present developing a radical diesel engine, that is light in weight per horsepower and is very conservative on fuel. This engine does away with the necessary intricate pieces of machinery of the gas engine. It oj erates on fuel oil which is exploded under high compression. Germany has been the only nation successful in building dirigibles. Many people have been wondering why the United States has waited until such a late date to question Germany’s superiority, since we are the only country in the world able to produce helium, the non-explosive gas. We have adequate facilities for such construction. We have, in addition, many experienced workmen. It took us until 1929 to see the value of building our own dirigibles. In that year work was started on a hangar which is to house the largest dirigible in the world,—the Akron. Outside of the fact that it is to be the largest, it will also be the best of its kind. It will be possible for military planes to take off and to land on this giant ship while it is in the air. Aviation offers one of the largest fields for the young man and young woman of today. It has weathered its infancy in our generation. Men of our own rank, through their common sense and courage, have advanced it to its great height! Now we must do likewise and carry on or we shall fall behind the other progressive nations of the world. —William K. O'Neill. 129 Campus Tricks Slam-bang-crash! Don’t you mind that. That was only little Pat, in a fit of anger, leaving his room in the dormitory of Oggerton University in somewhat of a hurry. The frail form of Pat had hardly disappeared around the corner when the door softly opened, and a fat humorous face peered out. “Boys, if that isn’t house breaking, I never was a judge of fair co-eds,” said Jim, who incidentally was Pat’s room-mate, to the inquiring group of smiling under-graduates. “That boy could do more in ten minutes than it takes Jerry Quirk to do in ten days back home.” “But why all the commotion, Jim? Did you try crooning him one of your latest love songs?” asked “Moby Dick” Johnson, our clever quarter-back. “Oh, he’s just peeved because his Sara decided that I’m the most handsome he-man in this man’s college, and has given me the special privilege of escorting her to the Pi Phi hop tomorrow night. He called a taxi to go to see her, but he couldn’t wait that long so there he goes in the best of humor.” “Well, here’s hoping you don’t fall through on your heavy appointment, but you know that Pat usually gets what he wants.” “Listen, Moby, when I get Sara under the moonlight at intermission and sing her my latest hit, she'll forget there ever was a Pat in her sweet young life.” “Good-night, Jim, and good luck to you, you’ll need it.” All was quiet again as Jim slipped into his room and closed the door behind him. A violin was softly sending forth its mellow notes on the evening breeze. Jim thought of his pal and room-mate. Should he really do this, or should he yield to the smaller fellow and take some other girl? There were plenty of pretty ones, but not as pretty as Sara. This thought caused him to shudder, and feeling a bit cold, he reached down and shook up the fire in the large fireplace. The flames, like dancing fairies, seemed to cast a sleepy spell over him. This spell was deepened by the soft music from the violin of one of the students in a nearby room. Jim was soon fast asleep before the fireplace. Presently Pat walked in. He was in a very different mood from when he left so hurriedly. “So that’s his game,” said Pat partly under his breath. “He told her I was sick in bed and couldn’t go. Well, there will be someone sick and it won’t be me either. Sara was nice about it. She said that I could take her if Jim didn’t go.” Pat left the room and returned shortly with “Moby” Johnson. “Say, Moby, this fat-head told Sara that I was sick and couldn’t go, and seeing he inherited his big-heartedness from his grandfather, he offered to take her. What should we do with him?” “It seems to me Jim could get an important telegram, calling him home at once. I could fix that with a friend of mine in the office. We can put Jim in my car and take him out to Dad’s until after the dance. Dad isn’t home and the servants will watch him closely. Let’s get moving before he awakens.” Pat pulled out his handkerchief, made a gag of it, and tore part of the sheet to hold the gag in place. At the right moment Moby grabbed Jim and gently opened his mouth as Pat proceeded to stuff it with the gag. The job was completed in a few minutes and with only a little scuffle. Jim was bound tightly with rope. Moby took the telephone and as the college operator answered, he asked for outside connections. Moby get his friend and soon had the telegram on its way to the college. The next move was out with Jim. Anyone awake at that hour of the night might have heard the soft purr of Moby’s Marmon [lulling away from the Campus. The two lads soon returned as quietly as they had left and bade each other good-night after Moby had told Pat that everything was O. K. and that Jim could not possibly get away. Pat entered his room, for it was entirely his now, and bolted the door before going to lied. In class the next day the professors, each in turn, asked where Jim O’Donald was, and in each case there were two students who answered that he was called home on important business. The day seemed to drag along for Pat, but at last it was eight o’clock and he was all set for the big dance. He and Moby were to go together in Moby’s car. Pat could not wait, so he entered Moby’s room only to find that Moby was but half dressed. “Say, Moby, you’re a fast guy when it comes to yanking fellows away to your old man’s estate, but when it comes to dressing you’re a slow freight in reverse. Come on now and hurry.” “All right Pat, don’t rush me. My little woman likes me just so, see.” 130 The dance was in full swing when Pat, Moby and the two girls entered. They checked their clothes and were shown to their table in the corner. The waiter came over and took their order. After each order he insisted on a cheery, “Is that all Mr. O’Donald,” for it must be remembered that Jim had reserved that table. After one of these addresses, Pat, in another flare of temper, seated Mr. Waiter among the palms in the far corner in a very peculiar position. Everything was going over big until intermission, when Pat went out for a smoke. In the lobby of the hotel was seated none other than Jim O’Donald calmly smoking a quarter cigar as though nothing had happened to spoil his enjoyment of life. Pat in a very hurried manner changed his mind about smoking, for it really was bad for his health, he said. Jim saw him and called him over. At first Pat didn’t know what to do. And then in a moment of desperation he wheeled around and faced Jim. “Well, how’s the dance going? Are you having a good time, Mate? said Jim in a very cordial manner. Pat was speechless for about two minutes. It was not what he expected. “Why Jim, do you mean to say you’re not sore at me for what I did?” said Pat in a discomforted tone of voice. “Why should I be, kid? I learned my lesson, but say I sure had a devil of a time vamping that cook so as to get out the back door, but I made it. How about sitting at your table? I’m nearly starved. I'll go out first and get Gert and we’ll make a party of this.” “Gee, you’re a swell room-mate, Jim. I’ll get everything ready before you return, so hurry up and get Gert as we’re in for the time of our lives. It’s all on me as long as my bank account holds out, or I should say Dad’s.” —Jattics Edmonds. Gossip The tendency to gossip has gained entirely too general a hold ever to be eliminated entirely. It is possible that people have gossiped since the beginning of time, and it is a generally acknowledged fact that people will gossip until the Day of Judgment. Every community, however small it may be, has its share of gossips, good and bad, but this group of people can usually be separated into two distinct classes: gossips and scandalmongers. The type of person generally referred to as a “gossip, is merely curious, by nature, concerning other people’s business. He derives much entertainment from comparing the characters of two or more individuals. He is interested in all that takes place around him. He makes a practice of singling out people’s eccentricities. His mind is active, and alert at all times, and he is ever desirous of gaining more information about the people, with whom he associates. So long as he avoids any form of malice or impertinence, his curiosity about other folk’s affairs may be quite harmless. The other class of individual referred to, the scandalmonger, can in no way be likened to the innocent gossip. There is absolutely no apology or excuse for such a person, for his one aim and ambition is maliciously to harm the character of his victim. Scandalmongering need not necessarily take the form of speech. The closing of an eye, a significant look, a shrug of the shoulders, are often much more effective means of broadcasting scandal than words ever could be. An appropriate lesson for us to remember and heed is Emerson’s warning: “Life is too short to waste in critic peep or cynic bark, Quarrel or reprimand) ’twill soon be dark. UpI Mind thine own aim, and God speed the mark.” •—Kathleen Walker. 131 Scientific Eating The great trend of the day is to do things scientifically. One must reason scientifically, live scientifically, and understand things in scientific terms. Even if one cannot be really scientific, it is not scientific to admit it. What has captured the mind of modern woman perhaps more than anything else has been the matter of calories, that is, scientific eating. Not that she is eager to understand science as such, more thoroughly, but that she believes that somehow, since science is so much the talk of the moment, it may possess the means of proving beneficial to her. The scientist has discovered that one needs just so many calories of food. “The human being eats too much,” says the scientist. “To be more efficient,- healthier, more attractive, govern your daily living by strict observance of calories per day.” Woman immediately understands this and blesses science that now it will be within her power to be more attractive. She begins at once. The daily meals of the family are changed to include just enough calories to sustain the human machine properly. The man of the house is cautioned against a second helping of beans as they are very rich indeed in calories. Only two prunes are needed to give the proper balance. He is given to understand that the former meals of meat, gravy, potatoes, pie and biscuits arc now quite passe. A simple salad made of cucumbers, carrots, celery, oranges finely cut, cabbage and beet tops, is now substituted for the heavier food to which the man has been accustomed. Any protest on his part avails nothing. His wife is determined that they shall live scientifically, with due regard to the necessary calories consumed daily in order that they may be more efficient, more healthy and more handsome. And then one day after this has continued for weeks and the man of the house is practically starved and vows he will take his meals elsewhere, he comes home and finds the old meal of potatoes, gravy, biscuits, vegetables and pie. He is quite overcome, but asks no questions. He knows his wife will give the reason if she is not asked, and she does. She has gained twenty pounds in the “calorie” weeks and thinks it high time to give up scientific eating. Let science find a way to make her thin! —Virginia Kohout. Freckles She had such large and shining eyes They made me think of summer skies; I loved her only, and to me Her voice was as a whispering sea. Her brow was white, her cheeks were red; I doted on each thing she said, I liked to w'atch her in repose Such cunning freckles bridged her nose. She jilted me, and then I found That puppy love is never sound And many charms that I discerned Are from my heart forever burned. Her wiles she Haunts at me in vain Til never love a girl again. I sore distrust cheeks like a rose, And can’t abide a freckled nose. —Elmer Watkins. Flight of the Seagulls Against the vast expanse of sky, With wings outspread, the seagulls fly Swerve upward with a daring flight, Then downward to the sea, and light Upon the waters; wings are still For just a moment ; then, with skill Akin to seraph’s floating grace, They’re sailing toward the clouds apace. Upon the shore, my heart I press, At seeing, here, such loveliness. What greater vision can there be? Above, the sky; below, the sea; And almost hidden, now from sight The seagulls—in their lonely flight. —Doris Bushar. 132 Apologies to Mr. Poe I Once upon a mid-night dreary, while I slumbered, worn and weary, After many a long and tedious hour of conning lesson’s lore, While in Dreamland I was soaring, suddenly there came a roaring As of some one loudly snoring, snoring at my bed-room door. “Tis a ghost!” thought I, and shuddered, hardly daring to uncover My poor head. II Ah, how clearly I recall, it was in the midst of fall I could hear the scrape of twigs upon the roof Eagerly I wished for daylight to dispel the awful gloom I felt certain of a shrouded, ghastly ghost there near my room And I shivered and I shuddered In my bed. III Presently the noise grew stronger; I could stand the din no longer, “Ghost” said I, “or Spirit Evil, be you saint or be you devil Why, at night when I am sleeping, do you dare to come acreeping? “Speak or else begone!” cried I, and opened wide my bedroom door. There in tranquil snug prostration slept our Fido on the floor, Only he and nothing more. —Frances McCreary. The Seasons Ears stiff, Hands froze, Cheeks red, Running nose, Winter’s toll. Balmy air. Sudden showers, Birds return Wak’ning flowers, Springtime’s soul. Nature blooms, Humming bees, Singing birds, Clothed trees, Summer plays. Chestnuts ripe, Golden leaves, Birds departing, Laden trees, Autumn days. —George Weber. Prelude to a Storm The wind’s ablowin’ wild today The leaves have turned the other way The skies are kind’a dark and gray— A storm is in the air. My dog is trailing at my heels And letting out wild little squeals: It’s evident he’s one who feels The storm that’s in the air. And now he’s tuggin’ at my skirt, He knows I’ll get my old brown shirt And we’ll go off on a joyous spurt, ’Cause storm is in the air. We take the path by the water’s edge Over the hill and along the ledge Where bushes have formed a protective hedge— A storm is in the air. Today the sea is a demon mad, And many a homesick sailor lad Who heeded not Mother, will wish he had, For storm is in the air. Just watch those waves, they’re leapin’ higher Like flames far flung from pagan fire When victims writhe on a deadly pyre— A storm is in the air. Now home we turn as drear day dies, The wind anon so plaintive sighs, Each bird, wise creature, nestward flies— A storm is in the air. —Doris Busbar. 133 A Rude Awakening The marketing was not yet done, For Ma was indisposed. When Pa, just in a spurt of fun, The following scheme proposed. Says Pa to me, “Guess you’re the one To take your mother’s place. I’m mighty glad you’re not a son We’d starve, were that the case. I'll drive you there and back again, And carry bundles, too. Your purchases I’ll not restrain, I’ll merely follow you.” Accordingly, we two set out Upon our expedition. To me it was, without a doubt, A most romantic mission. I set my mouth, and arched my brows, With most grown-up expression, And clerk’s expectant glances downed, In rapid-fire succession. I wandered round and round, until My father grew quite tired, And then, in tones resounding shrill He yelled, “All right, you’re fired!” — Kathleen Walker. My Ambition I’ve often craved excitement strange, But never had the chance To imitate some bad, bold man— And make folks do a dance. I’d call myself that “Dangerous Ann”, Tobacco would I chew, Perhaps I’d be as good at it As “Dangerous Nan McGrew”. I’d come to think—I’m just as big As Jessie James himself, (If someone didn’t capture me And put me on a shelf.) I think it would be lots of fun Each time I rode to town, To pop my gun—and watch folks run, Or just jump up and down. But after all—I’m just a girl, And girls can’t do those things; They just sit pretty all the time, And wear those angel wings. —Margaret Fisher. Smile Your tears make me unhappy, A smile will make me glad, Would you rather make me happy, Or would you rather have me sad? —George Weber. 134 135 Jokes “C«ot a sweetheart yet, Edna? “Yes, and he’s a regular gentleman. “You don’t say so! “Yes, he took me to a restaurant last night and poured tea in a saucer to cool it; but he didn’t blow it as common people do—he fanned it with his hat.

But I can say pretty much what I please to the goldfish. Merchant: “Look here, you’ve been owing me this bill for a year. I’ll meet you halfway. I’m ready to forget half what you owe. Debtor: “Fine!

Ruth K.: “The man I marry must be square, upright and grand!” Margaret S.: “You don’t want a man—you want a piano!” An employer who believed in supporting all efforts to introduce a new spirit into industry had called his men together to place before them his plans for bettering working conditions. “Now, whenever I enter the workshop,” he said, “I want to see every man cheerfully performing his task, and therefore I invite you to place in this box any suggestions as to how that can be brought about.” A few days later he opened the box and took out a slip of paper on which was written: “Take the rubber heels off your shoes.” Little Tommy had spent his first day at school. “What did you learn?” he was asked on his return home. “Didn’t learn nothin!” “Well, what did you do?” “Didn’t do nothin’! A woman wanted to know how to spell “cat” and I told her.” “My son,” said the father who was somewhat addicted to moralization, “this is the age of specialties and specialists. Is there anything you can do better than anyone else in the world?” “Yeh, thir,” lisped the small boy; “I can read my own writing.” Frank: “A little bird told me what kind of lawyer your uncle is.” Kathryn: “What did it say?” Frank: “Cheep!

You know the license has expired.” “Yes, and so has the dog.” Did you ever stop to think that a fish may go home and lie about the size of the bait he hooked! President Cleveland, while talking to a friend about one of his many angling expeditions, told the following story: “It is remarkable,” said the President, “how mean some people are. I had with me on that particular trip two countrymen who evidently were familiar with my reputation as an angler. Before starting one of them made the following suggestion: ‘Mr. President,’ said he, ‘we will agree that the first one who catches a fish must treat the crowd.’ “I assented to this, and we started. Now, don’t you know, those two fellows had a bite and were too mean to pull it up.” “I suppose you lost, then,” remarked the friend. “Oh, no!” replied the President. “I didn’t have any bait on my hook.” 137 “I am glad to see you home, Johnny,” said the father to his small son who had been away at school, but who was now home on his Christmas vacation. “How are you getting along at school?” “Fine,” said Johnny. “I have learned to say ‘Thank you’ and‘If you please’in French.” “Good!” said the father. “That’s more than you ever learned to say in English.” Two men were hotly discussing the merits of a book. Finally one of them, himself an author, said to the other. “No, John, you can’t appreciate it. You never wrote a book yourself.” “No,” retorted John, “and I never laid an egg, but I’m a better judge of an omelet than any hen in the state.” “It’s just an idle rumor.” “Well, my wife’s bridge club is in session, if those ladies get hold of that idle rumor, they’ll soon put it to work.” “You sometimes find a pearl in an oyster stew,” remarked the waiter, pleasantly.

One day he went on a trip to the South Seas, and was shipwrecked off an unknown coast. He fell in with a group of cannibals— and he agreed with them. A visitor in an insane asylum saw a man, who imagined himself an artist, dabbling at a blank canvas with a dry brush. “What picture is that,” said the visitor. “Israelites being pursued through the Red Sea,” said the artist. “Where is the sea?” “That’s rolled back to allow the Israelites to pass.” “Where are the Israelites?” “They have just gone by.” “Where are the pursuers?” “They will be along in a minute.” “What has more lives than a cat?” “A frog, because he croaks every day.” A lady had asked the guide about five hundred senseless questions.

One of them applied for a job at the office of an employment agency. “There’s a job at the Eagle Laundry,” said the man behind the desk. “Want it?” The applicant shifted uneasily from one foot to the other. “Tell you how it is, boss,” he said finally, “I sure does want a job mighty bad, but de fack is I ain’t never washed a eagle.” “I heard that a baby fed on elephant’s milk gained twenty pounds in two weeks.” “I don’t believe it; whose baby was it?” “The elephant’s.” Mr. Harbold: “What do you know about the Fourth of July?” James B.: “Not a thing.

A real man is just as honest in the dark in his own room as he is in public. A real man doe's not want pulls and favours. He wants work and honest wages. A real man does not want something for nothing, so the get-rich-quick people can not use him. A real man does a little more than he promises. A real man is dependable. A real man is loyal to his friends and guards their reputations as his own. A real man does not hunt danger but never dodges it when he ought to meet it. A real man is glad to live and not afraid to die. —The Equitable Envoy.

For it was a generation or two afterwards that their family branched out into the making of tapestries, and it was 200 years later when the fame of Gobelin art led the French government to subsidize and operate the business. In their particular field of the graphic arts, the finer Gobelin tapestries have never been rivaled. For they have put into fabric the events of history, characteristics of times and persons, and the elusive colors that nature uses sparingly in sky or shrub. Gobelin tapestries are prized because they are beautiful and rare. The first quality is still a virtue with us moderns. The second—a vice. For we are prodigal of beauty and, finding it, scatter it to the four corners of the earth for the enjoyment and enlightenment of all men. Through color photography, printing press and plentiful paper, we reproduce happenings of history and the colors of nature with a liberal hand.

Page Twenty-four 5 •I £ : SILVER ANNIVERSARY 1906 of the 1931 Parker White-Metal Machine Co. McKinley Ave. and East Twenty-third St., Erie, Pa. The ability to foresee the inevitable demand for a commodity, and to supply that demand, is directly responsible for the industrial existence of the Parker White-Metal Machine Company. A quarter of a century ago, the natural manufacturing tendency was toward mass production. This condition called for a daily requirement of thousands of duplicate parts, oftimes requiring dozens or perhaps hundreds of machine tools, but the results were irregular, slow and expensive, and consequently far from satisfactory. To produce even one hundred machine-finished parts, each within the required limits in the various dimensions is a difficult matter, but to produce many thousands of similar parts by the Die Casting process, each part exactly like every other part, is of daily occurrence. Not so many years ago, the makers of steel boiler plate were proud to advertise a product having a tensile strength of sixty thousand pounds, but the original alloy, introduced years ago by the Parker White-Metal Machine Company, with recent refinements, will show a tensile strength considerably in excess of fifty thousand pounds. Consequently it is little wonder that the product of this concern has always fitted so nicely into the manufacturing program and that this organization is almost daily called upon to solve some of the most intricate manufacturing problems from every quarter of the civilized world. Active Superintendents and School Executives are considering Culinary Equipment for new School projects as well as present buildings. They realize the importance and necessity of school feeding. What it means to both parents and children. What it does toward developing the body anti mind. How domestic cooking can be taught more successfully'; and many other good reasons.
