EDISON--AMERICAN Down through the annals of history, many men have been acclaimed great Americans. This year we observe the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of a man who achieved that position by dedicating his life to his community and to his fellow men. Now he has been set up as a model, a pattern for all to follow. During his life he continually strove to improve conditions, not for himself, but for the good of mankind. Everything he did was another stepping stone towards the goal in his mind- -to add to the earthly com- forts of everyone, rich and poor alike. This goal for which he worked so long and hard, he attained gloriously. Very few people as they sit in their homes think who made it pos- sible for them to enjoy the wonders that they assume as part of their everyday life. All things have a beginning and many of our modern con- veniences had their start in the ideas of this great man. He spent many days and nights developing these thoughts that would someday bring en- joyment to others. It was he who discovered the incandescent electric light which brought convenience and attractiveness to many homes. His invention of the phonograph has helped to make recreation a source of happiness to both young and old. His inventions are innumerable but each was great in itself. His fame and importance in history can not easily be put into words. It is hard to realize that such a man, a truly great American, actually lived such a short time ago. Yet in 1847 in the city of Milan, Ohio, was born a boy who seemed no different than any other infant but whose des- tiny it was to be a great inventor and a credit to his country. Yet, from' this humble beginning, driven only by his urge to aid man- kind, there arose out of obscurity one of the greatest Americans of all times, Thomas Alva Edison. Carolyn M.

In today s swift times, the measurement is whether or not we are ready --- ready for living. It hardly seems four years since we, the Senior Class, began our life at Girls Vocational High School. At that time we were visionaries, seeing ahead a long bright vista of our glorious high school days, but now as we sorrowfully leave, we wonder how well we have fulfilled those dreams. We thought we had a long way before us, but how quickly the time has sped by, gone before we really noticed its passing. With deep longing and gratitude we take with us the memory of our school. Many have gone before us, many more shall come after us, and they too must feel the emptiness we do as we wish we might linger just a little while. We are indebted to our Alma Mater for many things. She has prepared each of us for a career and a place in lifeg however high we climb, whatever progress we make, we owe our beginning to our school, where our lives were moulded into the patterns which they shall follow. As we face the world before us - probably the most momentous time of our lives - we wish to express our deep appreciation to our principal and teachers who, by their unceasing devotion to their profession, have instilled into us all the fruits of their experience and knowledge so that we may be better citizens, able to cope with the responsibil- ities which will be thrust upon us daily. Our teachers have become more than just friends, they have become real companions, and their hopes for us, their inspiration, their kindly influence have meant more than we can ever tell. Time in its passing will bring many changes, but, no matter what life brings, we shall cherish thru the years the pleasant memories we have gathered here at Girls Vocational and the friends we have made. We shall follow so many diverse paths, perhaps some of us will never meet again, but we shall look back tenderly on our happy days together. Our little world of fragile dreams will be an empty place now, but new dreams will come with the new day that is ours, and may God endow us with the wisdom that we shall need to realize the fulfillment of those dreams. BETTY FAIRCHILD MARY LOUISE KLINCK IRENE KOPERSKI 19 M11 We, the Class of 1947 of Girls Vocational High School being of sound mind and memory do herewith declare this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by us made. We give and bequeath to our school our love and the fond memory of the four years we have spent here. To Mr. Regan we leave sincere appreciation of his position as our principal. To our teachers our affection which has steadily grown through the years of our ac- quaintance with them. We, Grace Gadzik, Alice Kingsland, Mary Louise Klinck, Eleanor Radecka, Carol Schlau, Charlotte Sypniewska and Helen Weiss, the members of the Color Guard will always re- member and cherish our honored positions. We bequeath to you future seniors the priv- ilege that is yours to guard our country's flag. To Ann May McCarthy, Mary Dashner leaves her ever-loving seat in Bookkeeping II. To some lucky Iunior, Pauline Hoyler leaves the desk directly in front of Mrs. McCutch- eon together with her soft voice yelling at the poor, innocent girl. Dorothy Chmielewska, Dorothy Giszkowska, and Jeanette Schwartz leave the jefferson bus and the Sycamore Streetcar to future GVHS students along with the efficient C?J services it has rendered them. To the incoming class Corrine McCarthy leaves the typewriter in Miss Koeh1er's Bus- iness Law Class--and may they solve many difficult cases with it. Betty Miller leaves her bloomers Kthe ones that made such a big hit in the Variety Showl to Rita Frajdofer. VC4B leaves to VC3B the struggling--struggling that is--two periods of Bookkeeping with Miss Dale each and every day. To Virginia Smoker, Lucy Geryak leaves the first seat in the first row in Miss Fritz's American History Class. Carol Schlau and Florence Mitchell leave to some lucky students the privilege of working CPD Eogether in Miss Nash's study hall. We hope you maintain this privelege longer than we ld. To Rita Iaskier, Eleanor Iachlewska leaves her travelling eraser--the one so diligently used by the entire Bookkeeping class. Dorothy Giczkowska leaves her nickname Giczy to some bright student with the sin- cere hope that she will learn the Gettysburg Address for the Variety Show of 19? ? To Millie Faltyn, Frankie Ferrara bequeaths the rights of being called half pint and shorty, To some bright girl, Gloria Wojcieszak leaves her hard-to-maintain seat in the first row in American History. 20 Doreen Lord leaves to her dear friend Margaret Thomas, her dirty dishes to carry. Carol Daley leaves her American History Book--the one that was seldom used--to any- one who will use it. To the incoming Seniors, Jane Fronczak a.nd Florence Dziekan leave the water fountains on the third floor--complete with apple cores and chewing gum. To Marie Perrello and Catherine Silverstrini, Anna Tatta and Shirley Schneider leave their space of floor in the gym for dancing. To any Junior whose last name begins with A, Esther Altamura wills the privilege of being first in everything--everything alphabetically arranged, that is. To Esther Szulist, Lillian Genco leaves the honor of swooning over Mr. Baumler every time he enters the cafeteria. To Catherine Silvestrini, Carolyn Doster leaves her honor seat in the first row in Mrs. Schmidt's English Class. Florence Wujek wills to Celia Lazinska the handsome CPD boys on the Broadway street- car. Since streetcar seats are so in demand Elsie Matthews wills hers to anyone who can succeed in climbing on the car. The F4A girls will the privilege of licking all the pots and.pans in the cafeteria kitchen to the future foods classes. Elsie Matthews also leaves her job of making chocolate sauce to Odessa Little. To Mrs. Schmidt's sixth period English Class we leave the quaint ability to make a lot of noise and learn little fthru no fault of Mrs. Schmidtj. Gertrude Barber leaves to Margaret Thomas her place as the Master Giggler. To Carolyn Scott, Louise De Masceo leaves her task of making 1nen's shirts. It has ad- vantages ? ? Loitering through the halls has been Tina Serfilippi's exclusive pleasure so to carry on the tradition she wills it to Eleanor Ventura. That especially hard seat in American History Class is given to Catherine Silvestrini by its present occupant, Francis Nobile. S Rosemarie Caruana leaves the responsibility of the Junior Red Cross to her lucky suc- cessor. Betty Waite leaves the pleasure of walking to school to Mildred and Elaine Luther. Their sister Marjore leaves to them her seat near the blackboard which she has so gloriously occupied in English. 21 Golan, aa.. Left to Right: Carol Schlau, Alice Kingsland, Grace Gazdzik, Helen Weiss, Eleanor Radecka, Charlotte Sypniewska, Mary Louise Klinck. The idea of Advancing the Colors at our assemblies was suggested at a junior Red Cross meeting four years ago. There could be no more important position given to us, the members of the Color Guard, than the privilege of guarding our country's flag and our school banner as we march into our Auditorium. In our hearts we are proud that we re- present the entire school in this traditional ceremony. Our deepest and sincere wish is that the girls following us will appreciate this great honor.

And that pink cloud on the corner of Peach and Carlton at 8:15 A.M. -- could that be our class president? Lfasggut by no means least, the struggles we had producing the Herald o . 23 NO- 60 It is Iuly lst, 1960 and in New York a new play is opening called Atomic Bombshell of 1947.' I think I shall go to see lt. With such a title anything might happen. My, some crowd. --Well, there is the curtain. I hear this story concerns an inter- viewer who is taking the census of a small village called the Hole in the Hills. It begins with the census taker getting off the train at the station. To waste no time he begins his interviewing at the depot. My. but that face at the switchboard looks so familiar. Why, of course, it's MARY LOUISE KLINCK still using her sweet charm in transmitting village calls. As Mr. Curiosity leaves, he brushes against a girl whose face you see on every coke bottle in the commtry- -yes, no one else but DOROTHY CHMIELEW- SKA who makes her children drink it too . Positive that the job will be most interesting, Mr. Curiosity hurries on his way. lust outside of town he notices the enormous H O Ranch managed by EVELYN UDECK - of all Beolple. She has finally accomplished2her se- cret ambition. On the adjoining lot he finds E TY MILLER helping her dear little hus- band milk the cows. She s happy too . As he continues on his merry way the census taker bugmps gnto MARY DASHNER walking along with Bob, dragging their sweet twins Robert an Ro erta. Turningnlnto the residential section Mr. Curiosity approaches a neat cottage occupied by DOROT HENNE. Look at the family of little A lases . I wonder if she is teaching them The Basics in Tumbling for Amateurs. After a cup of coffee and some cake the young man continues on his tour. At the corner he sees a bunch of housewives deep in conversation. Who are they? No one else but GLORIA WOICIESZAK, FRANCES FER- RARA, IRENE FALTYN, JANE FRONCZAK, FLORENCE DZIEKAN, and DOROTHY GAS- IUK, but now their topic is homemaking and not their business law homework. Some fun this census taker is having I He enters Carlton Street and passes a church. Hearing voices he turns back and who does he find there but ALICE KINGSLAND direct- ing her own girl choir. She always did love music. At that moment there is a weddingg the bride being SHIRLEY SPECHT and the groom of course that tall handsome Mel she dreamed about during History class. Approaching the business section of town he stops before an enormous office building. Thinking it might hold some interesting material he stops in and is confronted with a long corridor with doors left and right. The first door says - Photography - Proprietor - ELEANOR NIEDZIELSKI. Her success in this field is due to the fact that she develops her pictures in a jello solution. It should taste good too in case you might get hungry. The next door on the right opens into a coffee shop managed by GERTRUDE BARBER. To give it a homelike atmosphere she serves her customers in a housecoat, her hair in pin curls. Her pancakes make a good hit with Mr. Curiosity as he samples one in the course of con- versation. In the adjoining room ANN TATTA is running a beauty shop for all the Holly- wood celebrities. Some keen competition Gertrude is having. Across the hall is a corsetier shop. It is nm by BERNICE KRIEGBAUM'S husband and she serves as his special model. On the bulletin board nest to the office is some news of former occupants of the building. There's a letter from DOREEN LORD, a Chinese Mis- sionary dividing her time between teaching English to the small Chinese and doing office work for Reverend Lowe. Another postcard reads, Doing fine in the Ziegfield Follies signed HELEN WEISS. 24 Must be an outgrowth of her success in the Varieties of 1947 . CAROLYN DOSTER in- forms the world that she is a proprietor of the Sun Valley Resort and is busy playing hostess to the many visiting celebrities. In her spare time of course, she travels through- out the country winning all the Badminton Championships. These girls certainly do travel. There is another letter from ESTHER SCHALK who is instructing males in the art of flying at the California Airport. Way down the hall there is a strange buzzing sound. Mr. Curiosity, who is just what his name implies, goes to investigate. He enters an enormous Tailor Shop. In one corner RITA SLIWINSKI is drafting patterns for exclusive use by the shop. In another corner a few young ladies are busily sewing away while two or three others model the clothes. LOUISE DE MASCIO is one of the seamstresses, MILDRED WASCO another. The models include ESTHER ALTAMURA, BEATRICE KERSHAW, and GRACE GAZDZIK. Their hus- bands sit at the side and admire their sweet little wives. In her spare time Grace flies to Hollywood to star as the 1960 Bette Davis in the movies. In'the course of this interview Mr. Curiosity discovers that MARY FALCONE owns and operates Bergers, Inc. and is the best dressed woman in town. just then there is a knock on the door and who ,walks in but LILLIAN GENCO on the arm of the man of her dreams. You guessed it - he s six feet six inches tall. The census taker finally parts from the little ladies and as he returns to the hall he hears the rattling of pans and breaking of dishes. lust as I thought - it's BETTY WAITE, MARIORIE LUTHER, FLORENCE WUIEK, and ELSIE MATHEWS running a cafeteria kitch- en similar to the one in high school. Marjorie is an expert at chopping parsley by now. Each of them has a home and a family waiting for them too. That Mr. Curiosity is going to get fat if he keeps up sampling from the housewives in the village. Swearing never to enter a food shop again, he is all ready to leave the building satisfied with all the informa- tion he has gathered but he stops when he hears music and the voice of someone giving dancing lessons. It sounds like - it is LORRAINE BASINSKA. The only pupils admitted are males, five foot ten or over and good looking, naturally. Since he won t get much atten- tion there, Mr. Curiosity leaves the building but on his way out he once more passes the bulletin board. To his surprise he finds more information about the former occupants. FRANCES MOBILE is happily married to Jimmy and owns a beautiful home in California. A card from STELLA CYMBALSKA informs us that she is a cashier at Morrows Nut House and doing a good business. ELEANOR IACHLEWSKI at last is the proud owner of an all pink wardrobe. It gives her color. She has also found her dream man and is sail- ing on a pink cloud, very happy. ELEANOR RADECKA is at Cornell University visiting her sweetheart and leaving on the afternoon train for Notre Dame to see her other beau, or so the card says. BETTY FAIRCHILD writes from Hollywood where she finally gained the title of 26th successor to Esther Williams. She has learned to swim and has a pool in her back yard for her darling children. I can just see her in that bright red bathing suit that goes so well with her dark hair and her big brown eyes. That bulletin board certainly is full now. There is still another card from IRENE KOPERSKI--now Miss Sunshine of 1960--spending her time at Palm Beach getting a deep tan. Her hubby is a life guard at the same beach. An elaborate postcard from IOSEPHINE GIANNONI informs us that she is in all her glory at New York City after having published her latest novel for women Marriage vs. Career and who do you suppose received the first autographed copy-- Miss CAROLYN DOSTER--of course. The former shorthand speed demon ELEANOR CORNELL is now the wife of Erving Tom Mix. Those mysterious explo- sions you hear about are only results of her experimenting with a new atomix bomb. 25 Finally leaving the place the interviewer continues in his survey of American people who have made good. Once again he enters a building, this time a newspaper office. HELEN GRZESZCZUK is at the editor's desk, a result of her position on the Herald Year- book Staff. In the meantime she is breaking her own speed record of speech making. Where does she find the energy? Alongside, pounding at the typewriter, is ALICE SWIFT, making dough writing articles for Pillsbury Mills. At night she goes nome to Ralph, who is still poring over his medical books. Speaking of medicine, TINA SERFILIPPI doesn't have to visit the doctor every day any more because she married one. While there, Mr. Curiosity discovers that IEAN MASSETT landed the job of Vice-President at National Biscuit Co. She holds the secret of how to put clubs in club crackers. Perhaps her husband knows that oo. ' Thanking the staff for all the news, the census taker goes down the street and is suddenly confronted with the sight of a girl in a shop window full of mirrors. It is ROSEMARY CAR- UAN A who is very happy now because she can be her own audience while modeling. Back in the residential section, tired from all the traveling, Mr. Curiosity stumbles up- on a neat row of cottages. In the first one DOROTHY GICZKOWSKI is trying to raise enough children to carry all the flowers Joe showers upon her. Her next door neighbor CAROL DALEY is busily scrubbing her quintuplets after a shopping trip during which mama bought herself some more clothes. As he leaves these two busy ladies, the interviewer bumps into a girl with two beaus on her arms. It is MARIE SEYMOUR the darling little baby of the Varieties of 1947. While speaking to Marie, a starched little uniform passes by. Upon questioning he discoveres she is CORRINE MC CARTHY who works at the General Hospital aiding the patients suffer- ing from indigestion. This certainly is a busy town. Already laden with pages and pages of news our sprightly old-man-by-now enters the home of THERESA SKRZEC ZKOWSKA. She is happily married to Steve and takes care of her little darlings--all ten of them. As if that noise weren't enough, FLORENCE MITCH- ELL lives upstairs with her Webzy's, the little angels. Theresa can't wait till the housing shortage is over so she can have some peace in the house again. Glad to get away from the noise, Mr. Curiosity by mistake visits DOLORES IASZCZ who is happily married to Iack and has five little gack- sons. She doesn't eat much anymore because she can't stand her cooking. At the en of the block lives LILLIAN MIEC ZNIKOWSKA who is so proud of her Mike and her two lovely children. Finished with the whole group, Mr. Curiosity enters a peaceful dead end street. Sudden- ly there is a great amount of puffing and hufflng. Looking around he finds an old jalopy head- ing straight for him. Managing to duck, he demands an explanation. The driver is noother but PAULINE HOYLER who always drives in the wrong direction on those side streets. The commotion over, the census taker notices a girl across the street, surrounded by a group of men. Of course she's LUCY GERYAK, who still hasn't decided which one she shoul marry. Since they happened to stop in front of EDNA WATTS' home the interviewer enters the kitch- en and finds the young lady making a lemon pie for her hubby Rudy, but since the stranger walked in, she gave him a sample. In the house next door SHIRLEY SCHNIEDER is,serenely happy with her Johnny M. who has her loving Italian food, which incidentally she lsn t too mad about. His stomach filled to his heart's content, Mr. Curiosity leaves the happily married couples and on his way up the walk he passes CAROL SCHLAU with a skating case under her arm. She informs him that she still visits the Arena Friday nights but each time has a dif- ferent partner. 26 Who is it this time, Bob, Bill, or lim -- or maybe even Ted. Another girl who is still puzzled over whom she should take as a mate is LILLIAN KULIK. In the meantime she is very content with having Frank, Norie, and Red to keep her time occupied. RUTH WAHL on the other hand is already happily married to N. S. and has a few N. S. Irs. run- ning around the house. Thinking he has enough information to write a book, Mr. Curiosity has plans for leav- ing the village. Out of nowhere a little boy runs into him and behind the tot a frustrated mother. Who else could it be but IEANETTE SCHWARTZ. Her athletic escapades in school are put to use very often with such youngsters around the house. Jeanette informs Mr. Curiosity that MARIE GOODIE has finally captured the heart of that young blond man she used to see on the streetcar, coming home from school. She is the model wife now. Looking over the list of population, Mr. Curiosity discovers he missed up on a few people so he turns back and canvasses the neighborhood to find out what ever happened to ERNESTINE BROCKNER. To his surprise, as a result of her business law work in high school, she has become a leading business woman operating the Blue Business. They al- ways told you it would pay off some day Ernestine. CHARLOTTE SYPNIEWSKA made it just in time for her wedding which took place the other day. She finally learned punctuality is the best policy. RITA KWIETNIAK and NORMA RZEPKA, the girls who were so quiet in Girls Voca- tional have astounded the world by opening a new law firm which is becoming more popular every day. Again checking over his information to see he did not miss anyone, Mr. Curiosity leaves on the next train to put all this news into print. The following month the book is out and the town of Hole in the Hills finds itself on the map as a really typical American town. 27 g?.e1oAr. .:f 'Wr 3r 2n 1st G3 5th 4th d l'OWZ I'OWI POW !'OW POW Mildred Faltyn, Lottie Glomb, Genevieve Glomb Ruth Austin, Rita Frajdofer, Grace Fries Secretary ieuraa. lane Campanella Treasurer Margaret Thomas President Virginia Smoker Vice President Dorothy Troidl Iosephines Kaczynska, Rita Dangleis, Ruth Guenther, Dorothy Gentner Ioan Baumler, Marie Beyer, Anna DeMaioribus, Noreen Datzler, Eugenia Karpinska Irene Bush, Charlotte Kauss, Audrey Johnson K Hn o I W af ..

Among the most outstanding have been: Dances - Our Student Association sponsored two very successful dances in October. These were Halloween Dances - one for Freshmen and Sophomores, the other for Juniors and Seniors. Much was added to the occasion by the presence of young men from Burgard, Seneca, and Boys Vocational High School. Variety Show - Our Variety Show, for the benefit of the Yearbook, was a great suc- cess and was given on the evenings of Monday, February 10, and Tuesday, February 11. A dance in the school gymnasium followed each performance. Ioe Strada and his orchestra supplied the music for a very memorable occasion. Parents' Night - Once each year our parents are given an opportunity to visit the school to observe just what work we do, and also to get acquainted with our teachers. The evening of May 14 was devoted to this purpose and the Glee Club, under the di- rection of Miss Ormond, added the finishing touches by giving a musical program. Roller Skating Parties - Everyone seems to look forward to our skating parties be- cause they are always so much fun. We had one each month from September to Iune, the profits of which went to the Yearbook fund. Prom - Probably one of the occasions that is looked forward to with the most antici- pation is the Junior-Senior Prom. The Prom was held on May 23, at the Hotel Statler Ballroom with music by Ioe Gag and his Orchestra. Undoubtedly, the memory of this gala occasion will linger long in the hearts of all who were present. - Shirley Specht 43 Sept. 16, 1946 , qc.-g44,., ,A-.-afg . . . . 1 5 P ' 1 . -...-,.- Sept. 23, 1946 Sept. 30, 1946 Oct. 7, 1946-- Oct. 14, 1946- E E x 4.4em.l-lim. All of us look forward eagerly to Monday mornings when from 8:30-9:30 we have our school assemblies. The variety of the programs presented to us each week never fails to appeal. We offer you examples: Since this was our first assembly of the school year Mr. Regan reviewed the rules and the conduct that are a part of the school. He welcomed the new girls who entered as Freshmen. Mr. Regan gave a talk on the achievements we should try to gain and the goal which we seek. It was a very pleasant and encouraging talk. Miss Mandel, the Umbrella Lady once more visited us and told us all about different umbrellas and parasols. With the talk she gave a practical and yet very funny demonstration on the care of the precious article. In this assembly we had the ever popular song fest which was conducted by Mrs Greenbaum. This consisted of songs from popular plays, which are less known to the public. Mrs. Wilkinson, the famous Sally Work of radio, was invited to talk ot the girls on the intricacies of the modern radio broadcast. She enlightened us on the wonderful position radio offers to those just out of school. Oct. 21, 1946---Miss Bois introduced to us the millions of ways we can develop our personality through reading. Many girls were surprised to hear they could make them- selves more acceptable in society by reading more books on the subject. 44 Oct. 28, 1946 Nov. 8, 1946 ---- Nov. 18, 1946--- Nov. 25, 1946 Dec. 2, 1946- Dec. 9, 1946- Dec. 13, 1946 Once again Mr. Yeager of the Museum of Science visited the school and resented his famous Woodland Symphony. He took us on a most delightful trip gmagin- ary fo coursel across the northern forests of Canada. Major Anne M. Mcllhenny, W. A. C. former aide to General Eisenhower and pres- ently a member of the Courier-Express staff, gave a very detailed talk on her personal experience as a correspondent overseas. She also gave us a personal picture of the horrors of the war. Rabbi Elihu Rickle discussed in a wonderful and complete manner life in the Far East before and during World War H. He pointed out the needs for accomplishing what the United Nations is trying to do. Without cooperation and faith in doing right we shall get nowhere. The American Iunior Red Cross under Miss Massman presented the work it is do- ing in making people of other lands happy. Rose Marie Caruana, President of the organization presented Mrs. Backus from the Buffalo Chapter of American Red Cross with a 520.00 donation from the school. Mr. Stodman of the National Speak- ing Association gave an amusing but deeply stirring talk on the deprivations the foreign children are enduring and how the Junior Red Cross is making those blows a little less felt. The girls left the assembly deep in thought over his words. Mr. Lawrence our wonderful cooperative custodian presented a whole musical assembly program. In the program were three short films: Piano Reflections,' Symphony Orchestra and Keyboard Concerts. All of them showed the tech- nique and proper organization of a symphonic orchestra. Mr. George Smith of the Buffalo T. B. Association enlightened the audience with the true facts about tuberculosis and the ways to combat it. The film This is T. B. enlarged on what Mr. Smith talked about which were the causes, cure and prevention of this dread disease. ---The Simplicity Pattern Co. in the person of Miss Norma Risman entertained the girls with the topic which heads everyone's list--clothes. Our own classmates served as models of the marvelous yet practical fashion wardrobe which was dis- p ayed. 45 D Dec. 20, 1946-- Ian.6,1947--- Ian.13,l947-- HELP WANTED Feb.3,1947--- The annual Christmas program was taken over by the Glee Club. Under the most able direction of Miss Rebecca Ormond, the girls presented a light and enjoyable program. The whole school participated in the Christmas Carol Sing. At the end of the program, Grace Gazdzik read Dr. Robert Bapst's annual Christmas mes- sage to the students. Since the first term was coming to an end, Mr. Regan once again reminded the girls of his talk at the beginning of the year. He complimented us on the work we had achieved and hoped we would finish the year in the same manner. Noticing that girls are thinking more and more seriously of the future, Mr. Regan invited Mr. Helman of the North West Life Insurance Company to speak in our as- sembly. Since he is in charge of the employment in the company, he told us what qualifications the business world wishes from new employees. Mr. Regan spoke on the organization of the school activities. He emphasized that since it is the beginning of our second term, we should try harder to achieve high- er standards in our marks. Feb. 10, 1947--An Honor Roll assembly was held. The school honored the girls who have been fn H0503 0' Feb. 21, 1947 March 7, 1947 wwf? Mar. 10, 1947 on the Honor Roll the whole term. Each girl received a rose for her achievements. In addition, the first five with the highest average received Eversharp pencils. --Since this was the day before Washington's birthday, we commemorated the occa- sion with a movie called America the Beautiful. It presented a true picture of the beauty which our country holds. --Miss Ormond directed the students in a singing assembly. The program consisted of a great variety of ballads, popular tunes and little jingles which had everyone in a very enthusiastic mood. --Through the efforts of the faculty, we saw a film entitled Choosing a Life Career, which showed a typical young man's troubles in trying to choose the proper voca- tion. This assembly preceded the series of conferences which all the girls attend- ed, to help them decide the right road they should take after graduation. 46 April 3, 1947- - Apr. 14, 1947 May 12, 1947- With Easter just around the corner, the third and fourth year clothing girls under the direction of Miss Stiglemeir, presented a holiday fashion show of clothes they made for their wardrobe. Special tribute was paid to Carolyn Doster, whose essay won first honorable mention in the American Legion Buffalo Evening News Americanism Essay Contest. --Miss Minnie Gulliani, an alumna of the school, gave a very beautiful assembly program of operetic solos. Isabel Apa and Carolyn Doster played piano solos be- tween the groups of Miss Gulliani's songs. --The Glee Club presented a musical program of Spring numbers. Since this was one of the very few appearances of the group, it was met with great approval by the school.

V. H. S. have been busy bees helping in different Red Cross campaigns. The Clothing girls down in Room 7 have been busy tailoring blue wool coats with gay plaid linings, to go to the destitute children of Europe. Down the hall in Room 11 Foods girls were baking and packing 125 pounds of cookies for the Vets in the Batavia Hospital who could not get home and dip into Mom's cookie jar. In the auditorium the cast was rehearsing for an assembly program to put over the drive to collect funds. A walk through our front halls, led past attractive window displays showing the type of boxes being packed for foreign school children and also interesting let- ters from them in appreciation of our past efforts. This year we are proud that the spirit of service to the Greatest Mother in the World is much alive in our school. Rose Marie Caruana 49 P0 jf Glee 8 ui As in other years, the Glee Club has filled our last days at Girls Vocational with beautiful musical strains. We have had a number of musical assemblies of songs both old and new. Our annual program of carols was given to honor the Christmas season. The latter part of the year, the Glee Club worked on music for a short concert on Dances of All Coun- tries. The usual Open House at Girls Vocational was climaxed with the rythmic tones of a three-part harmony. We Seniors bid a fond adieu to our musical moments at G. V. H.

Every class has been represented in the tour- naments and many of the classes have entered two teams. Our first tournament, that of volleyball, was an exciting one. Everyone was determin- ed to win the championship but as there can be only one winner, VC4A was victorious, Runnerup being VC2D. In the Freshman playoffs, F7 was the winner and F4 was runnerup. At present, the basketball tournament has just come to an end, leaving VC3A the victors after many a hard battle. CT2A was runnerup. In the Freshman Tournament: F4-winner, F8-runnerup. In a few weeks the ring tennis games will begin and we're all looking forward to a big turnout and some exciting, hard games. Everyone is looking' forward to the championship and I'm sure it will be a fight to the end. Bowling is another of our many sports. This year the number of bowlers has exceeded previous years. Bowling is the one sport that is not limited to students only. Teachers also may participate and the teachers usually seen at the bowling alleys are: Mrs. Schmidt, Miss Fritz, and Miss Callahan. Spring will bring with it the baseball tournament. Indoor softball is enjoyed by all the girls during gym classes and in after school games. Tumbling classes also begin in early Spring and if you happen to be near the gym during a practice period, you'll probably be surprised to hear shouts of laughter from fellow tum- blers as another tries to do the various stunts. Of course, at the end of the year when they put on an assembly program you will see that they not only tried, but succeeded. Our one individual sport which is growing more popular from year to year is badminton Many of the girls have proved themselves good players and the tournament should hold ' some surprises for everyone. Time will tell who will receive the banners and trophies for supremacy in sports and as we wait, Time marches on.

Miss Favata, who has had fifteen years experience as an operator and proprietor of her own shop and as an instructor in a private beauty school, has been trained by the State Education Department. The Board of Education has provided fimds for the purchase and installation of modern equipment and rooms are being remodeled so all facilities will be ready for instruction in September. Beauty Culture as an occupation for women has developed rapidly in the past few years. The beauty shop minimum wage law in New York State makes it al- most imperitive' for beginners in the field to be general all-around operators be- fore they can secure employment. The average beauty shop is small and can not afford to employ specialists, so a large number of shops have only one or two operators, who must be able to perform any service requested. Therefore the initial objective of the course must be to train general operators. In order to attain this status, the pupils must acquire some degree of expertness in all activ ities--manicuring, shampooing, waving. The three year course, which accepted candidates will start at the beginning of their sophomore year, will include train- ing in all of these branches so graduates will be well-equipped to begin their chosen occupation. 65 W 1 5 vhfaf 6f1.fQ,cQ 1 'les HND!
