Arnold Jerome Assistant Business Manager . Bertram Brooks Circulation Manager .- . . . Marion Row Assistant Circulation Manager Richard Forbes Opening the year with but five members of the news staff having had previous experience in newspaper work, the Vindex was able to put out a paper of such quality that it was adjudged the second best high school paper in the states of New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. The red ribbon of the fourth annual convention of the Eastern Interscholastic Press Association was awarded to the Vindex at Cornell University, November 5 and 6, 192.6. Of the many issues of the Vindex, there were several outstanding issues. A com- bined athletic and local history number was the first of these, which was published for the Elmira-Binghamton football game. This was followed by the Christmas issue which was commented on very favorably in two other competitions which the paper entered, the Columbia University and University of Wisconsin competitions. Later a new feature in high school publications was attempted and was very success- ful, the four page rotogravure section. This was exhibited at the Columbia Competi- tion in March. One of the best special issues of the year was the “Lemon Issue,” known as the Daily Bulletin. This bulletin was a take off on yellow journalism, which the Vindex publishes every April 1. 51 SG 0003 STEELE MEMORIAL LIBRARY ELMIRA, N.Y. 14901 Student Council MEMBERS Claribell Rockwell Helen Palmer Charles Rockey Elizabeth Howland Louella Waid Laura Jones Glover Delaney (President) Frank Edson Edwin Sammet Gregory Allen Richard Forbes Harlan Griswold Rex Baxter Alexander Turner Thomas Day George Williams Alberta Stebbings Dorothy Hughes Richard Grant Walter Wiesmann Martha Olzeski Loleta Tota Thomas Keeton 51 Hi-Y MEMBERS Wilmot Craig (President) James Decker Frederick Butler George Hemenway William Haybeck Victor Anderson John Burke Allen Swift Henry Haase Harlan Griswold Richard Grant William Sebring Wesley Huff ■Charles Rockey Verle Argetsinger Harold Adams Asa Brooks Walter McCorkle Donald Argetsinger Frederick Haase George Carpenter 53 Orchestra Leader, Gwynn S.

Together with the Mandolin Club, this organization has helped to make our assemblies what they have been. (Apologies to Mr. Parker.) Perhaps the most enjoyable program they have given was that presented at the Easter Assembly, when they responded to several encores. A great part of the credit due this Club must be given to Mr. Knapp, the director, and to Gregory Allen, President. The members of this club are: Donald Sayles Eugene Roe George Wilbur Lester Jordan Leonard Levanduski James Marks Gilbert Tingley Fred Knapp (Director) Gregory Allen (President) 55 Mandolin Club Claribell Rockwell Dorothy Sayles George Wilbur Eugene Roe Phyllis Fish Marian Lynch Florence Gilbert Eunice Johnson Clara Mann Marsha Hamilton (Pianist) Elsie Butler Fred Knapp (Director) This club has proved to be one of the peppiest organizations in the school. Under the direction of Mr. Knapp and with Dorothy Sayles as manager, they have enter- tained at several assemblies with varied programs during the past year. When they now appear in assembly, they are hailed more favorably than Professionals would be. Masquers With the completion of another school year the roll of Masquers registers new members and new achievements. Tryouts have been held at various times of the year and students have shown eager- ness to belong so now there are forty members in the club. Under the capable direction of Mr. John Colgan, the faculty advisor of the club, an excellent production of “The Passing of the Third Floor Back’’ was presented to a large audience in the school auditorium. A banquet was held at the Bon Ton in cele- bration of its success: Masquers will be represented in the state contest in Ithaca this year in an attempt to bring home the cup again. The “Hour Glass’’ will be presented. A business meeting followed by a social meeting is held every Thursday evening in the Steel Memorial library. The Officers of Masquers are: President.......................John Colwell Vice-President......................Marion O’Hare Secretary........................Geraldine Wladis Treasurer...................................Lewis Hughes Faculty Advisor..............

New members were taken in November 2., 19x6, and initiated November 8. The club has had weekly programs of originality and interest. Several mock trials, carried on according to the regular court procedure, were held. Numerous dinners offered opportunities for a variety of kinds of public speaking. The entire varsity boys’ debate team was chosen from Forum. Due to the guidance of Mr. Colgan, the financial standing of the club is excellent. The Officers of Forum are: President.........................Irving Cooper Vice-President................. James Compton Secretary.........................Harold Adams Treasurer......................Louis Cooperman Sergeant-at-Arms..................Albert Nagler Faculty Advisor................Mr. John Colgan 60 Agora The Agora Debating Society has passed through another successful year. By means of drives, the membership has been practically doubled. Preparations have been made for debates with Forum. At every meeting, interesting topics have been given by the members. Because of the great number of new “Agorites,” opportunities were given them to train themselves in public speaking. This plan has proved very successful and will, no doubt, be continued in the future. Agora did not forget its usual delightful spreads. In fact, one of the earliest events of the school year was the Agora picnic supper. The officers for the last year were: President...................................Mary Lewis Vice-President........................... Grace Palmer Secretary................................

They woke up to find that the E.F.A. aggre- gation had captured the sectional championship with but one defeat. The cause of all this is simply Mr. Arthur Hirst. The Elmira basketeers, in one of the fastest games of the year, scored over Johnson City by one point. In the finals for the sectionals Oneonta went down to defeat at the hands of our boys. On the opening night of the State Tournament in Buffalo, Elmira swamped South- ampton with a score of 38-15. On the second night, Rensselaer was overpowered by a score of 19-13. On Saturday night, March z6„ in a game that thrilled, not only those who saw it, but those who heard about it, Yonkers defeated Elmira. The score was 35-34. Elmira led at the end of the first half. However, Yonkers spurted ahead during the third quarter, and although the Blue and White fought like demons, they were not able to overtake Yonkers during the last period. “Slim” Elliot and “Walt” Watkins were chosen on the All-State Team, an honor which they rightly deserved. Thus the season ended with Elmira runner up in the State Tournament and with, as we believe, the best basketball team in the state. Girls' Varsity Basketball Miss O’Connor (Coach') Marguerite Jewell Nettie Rosenheck (Manager) Merle Bryan Mrs. Sullivan (Coach) Bertha Anderson Ermina Atwater Ruth Hobler Mary O’Dea (Captain) Helen Parnall Rosemary Sheehe Rose Kingston Helen Nixon Marian O’Hare Dorothy Smith Are the girls of E.H.S. holding up the laurels of the two schools in athletics? The girls’ basketball team for this season proved decisively that the Blue and White lassies are not lacking in school spirit and pep. Nine victories and only one defeat! This is the record made by the E.H.S. sextette for the 192.6-17 season. Starting the year with a few veterans as a nucleus, the girls developed into a strong, fast, hard-fighting team. Troy, Corning, Ithaca, Van Etten, Cook, and Horseheads fell before the varsity squad. It was in the return game with Coming that the girls tasted their only defeat.

Just enough to keep our football team from being a championship organization! This season the pigskin chasers developed into one of the strongest squads in the Southern Tier. Watkins, Corning, Ithaca, U.-E., Troy, and George Junior Republic easily succumbed to the onslaught of the heavy Blue and White warriors. The only defeat of the year was at the hands of our ancient rivals, Binghamton, by the score of 14-13. The Elmira boys were defeated only by the breaks of the game when Binghamton made a goal on a misplay. Two members of the squad were chosen for All-State Teams. “Art” MacNamara was selected as quarter on the first team while “Hunky” Scheid was placed as a guard on the fourth squad. Although Captain Habeck failed to be mentioned on any of the teams, Bill” was one of the most consistent gainers in the backfield. His playing, both on the offensive and defensive, was remarkable. One point kept us from Southern Tier Champs, but the team played well and deserves credit for its splendid showing. 66 Inter-Class Basketball Champions MEMBERS Henry Haase Charles McCreight Albert Nagler Dominic Lemoncelli Donald Zimmer Robert Jump Mr. George (Coach) 67 The History of the Class of 1927 First Semester, September, 1926. Much to the disappointment of some 1008 United Sons and Daughters of Rest, the Elmira Free Academy opened its portals for business. The January Frosh showed up, unanimously wearing the long trousers that they apparently believed enhanced the beauty of their manly physiques. As no one had the presence of mind to prevent it, Vindex came out. The Class of ’z6, as a farewell gesture, sent a delegation to see if it were really possible for the school to go on without it. It could. The findings of this committee drove the majority of this class to desperation. They went to college R.I.P. Familiar faces were seen and heard about our halls. The first two days were devoted to holding reunions, skipping classes and selling Assembly tickets to the Frosh. October, 1926 The weather began to get colder. Football was heard in the land. Five-week tests came to fill the unprepared with fear and apprehension. Hi-Y passed out score cards for the games. Delaney was elected Student Council President. This appears to have driven him to drink. He was seen in the neighborhood of Borst and Cuffney’s. Huff became President of the Class of ’2.7. (An example of the power of the press). The Senior Dance was held on the 16th at the Fed. Statistics show that no fewer than 30 members of the stronger sex were advised that it was customary to dance on the floor, not on the partner’s feet. The Year Book Staff was selected this month. We lost to Bingo there on the 13th. These facts have absolutely no connection. Vindex came out with a historical issue. The neighboring cemetaries were shaken as the inhabitants turned over on hearing of some of the alleged facts in that sheet. November, 1926 The Juniors threw their yearly hop the 10th, “and a goodly crowd was there.” The Class of ’2.7 attended in full force. The 16th, Forum, our boys’ debating society, enjoyed itself fully. Having been recruited to its full strength, it proceeded to put the latest victims over the jumps. Everyone enjoyed it—except the initiated. This went down in history as the occasion for that famous brief speech by Abe Fidleman, “Don’t you guys ever miss?” Our journalists took second prize in a contest. They would have taken first, but someone had nailed it down. Wednesday night dances now. Chaperone, Rusty. Attendance, 10 to 1, favor of the girls. December, 1926 Football season closed. This left us no place to go Saturdays. The All State Teams were chosen. Everyone went about in mourning. They had found out that these teams don’t play. Pathetic. “The Passing of the Third Floor Back” was presented by Masquers. This we consider one of the best plays ever written in a 3-1 English Class. The acting, of course; was superlative. (Talce this as you wish, but be charitable). A special edition of the Vindex came out for this. This was considered unconstitution- al as being a cruel and unnatural punishment. Captain Colgan (Spike) of the E.F.A. f 69 R.O.T.C. picked his squad for the Bingo Debate. They bought a case of Life Savers, ordered 400 evidence cards, and got down to work upstairs in South E.F. A. (the Steele Memorial Library). The Christmas assembly came on the 13rd. All the alumni came back. Some Christmas stories appeared in the Vindex. They were unique. No work was done that day. As a result of this strenuous occasion, school closed and was not reopened until Jan. 3, 19x7. The entire student body spent the interim in trying to break all known records for Long Distance Horizontal Rest. While not engaged thus, the students suffered from the hoof and mouth disease. They talked all day and danced all night. Thus endeth the first semester. Second Semester, January, 192J Midyears and Regents took place with devastating results. Nothing else much this month except a Masquers Banquet at the Bon Ton on the zoth. The Senior Reception came the 2.8th. “There was a sound of deviltry by night and joy was unrefined.’’ It broke up at 1:30 A. M. February, 1927 “So This is London” was put on under the auspices of the Student Council. A small house thoroughly enjoyed it. The Vindex issued a rotogravure section. It was much appreciated. On the 2.5th, song books were purchased for use in assembly. The suffering that these innocent volumes can cause is incredible. The Bingoites retained their firm grasp on the Amherst Cup this year, much to the astonishment of all beholders. March, 1927 ‘ ‘Tweedles” was announced as the Senior Play. The cast is indescribable. The organ- ization cannot be equaled. What more can the public ask? The Girls’ Debate Team was picked. Their official means of sustenance was not announced. This sounds sus- picious. It will bear investigation. The E.F.A. Basketball Team, having won every- thing in this neck of the woods, went to Buffalo for the State Tournament. They were supported by a large crowd of rooters. The migration began on the 2.3rd and reached its climax Saturday the 2.6th, when we lost in the final game by one point. April, 1927 The one universally read issue of the Vindex appeared, i.e., “The Daily Bulletin.” It barred nothing. That explains why the works of two of our prominent members appeared in it. These persons have since left for South America. If they ever return, they will be mourned by a host of friends. The subjects of their remarks have prom- ised to welcome them at the docks with a band—of armed men. “Tweedles” on the z8th and 19th. Track here and out of town. Girls’ Debate here. May, 1927 Rain.
