Elna Stromfors, who until May of 1922 was an ever-ready pupil in our number, was not able to return at that time because of an injury she received. She cannot well move around, but she is exceedingly cheerful through it all and spends a great deal of her time in reading. While at Glenville she was an honor student and excelled in her studies to a high degree. 1701 OUR CLASS IN presenting this written and illustrated record of school life, the authors, the class of June ’23, feel they must summarize briefly what they consider to be a wonderful class. Possibly there were better classes than ours in past years; probably some of the future classes will have a greater claim to greatness than does our group; but we are well satisfied that we have been a unit well worth while in Glcn-ville, and therefore we wish to leave the school with a pleasant memory of our accomplishments. We believe we have done our little bit toward making Glenville a better institution, and we are leaving the burden of the responsibility for maintaining Glenville’s good name to the under classes. President Clark Spargur V ice-President Mavbelle Seely Secretary Eleanor Quass Treasurer Harvcv Bingham Entertainment Committee Pat Dwyer, Chairman Grace Fawcett Ruth Klein Maurice Beyer Will Carlton Faculty Advisors Miss Edwards Mr. Colonius Mr. Boyd Commencement Speakers Class Choice Clark Spargur Benjamin Friedman Faculty Choice Dorothy Bard, Valedictorian Sterling Parker Carol Stone Sylvia Sidenberg Philip Solomon Hilda Wolk Class Colors Purple and White Class Motto “Let’s Be Different’’ Graduation Song “By the Beautiful Blue Danube” [71] ALTHOUGH this magazine is primarily a June ’23 publication, the class is not so narrow as not to see that there are other classes in our school that are also worthy of a little recognition. It has been customary in the past to disregard the lower classes, but we feel that, since they are as much a part of Glenville as our group, they are entitled to some recognition. At the present time, there are in this school four organized classes. Each of these has its officers, its advisors, its colors and the recognition due these groups will be given in these pages. Class of February ’24 The class immediately following the June ’23 organization in rank, being a February graduating class, is somewhat smaller in number than our class. They have been criticized as slow in the past, but during the last semester they proved that they had plenty of pep and initiative; they have placed themselves on the map for good. It was through the efforts of the 12B class that the big brother and sister movement got under way. This is a big feather in their caps and should give them a name that will make it easier for them in their future undertakings. OFFICERS President.....................Burton Faragher Pice-President...................Lola Hoskins Secretary.............................Stewart Brown Treasurer.............................William Slavin Executive Committee Ruth French, Chairman Grace Crawford Saul Mielzincr Ira Kermode Eleanor Chadwick Faculty Advisor Mrs. Parker Class Colors Scarlet and Gray Class of June ’24 The present 11A class is one of most unusual promise. Their ranks include many students who have already made a name for themselves at Glenville. By the time they are ready to graduate this class should have accomplished much that will tend to make their numerals live after them. Since the time of their organization at the beginning of this term, the class has held three or four meetings, have given a party and a picnic and have enjoyed a Class day. [72] Next year when they are seniors, the biggest test will come, and it is our prediction that the class will come through in fine style. The June ’24 class is one of the biggest and best in years.

OFFICERS ............Clinton Goodwin ............Evelyn Newton ............Evelyn Ferguson ............Norman Stocker Entertainment Committee Harold Loyer, Chairman William Rhodes Irving Kane Grace Williams Harold Heiss Helen Ruch Evelyn White Faculty Advisors Mr. Davies Miss Gleason Class Colors Jade and Silver Class of February ’25 Although it has been a tradition in Glenville for classes to organize in their 11A year, the custom was changed this term through the efforts of the Student Council, and the 11B class was permitted to elect officers. A vote was taken, and, after some delay, the class chose its leader. A meeting was held and because it was so late in the year, not much could be accomplished, but the class will be in a position to start off the next school year with a bang. The practice of electing officers early will probably remain in vogue now that precedent has been established. As an outgrowth of this system, rotation of officers will possibly be the custom. At any rate the idea is a good one for it gives a class stability and makes them feel that they are an integral part of the school. OFFICERS President..................... Van Kline Pice-President.....................Eleanor Her Secretary.................... Robert Jones Treasurer................Catherine Parker Chairman, Entertainment Committee Helen Doolittle Post-Graduates Though those wTho are taking a P. G. course in Glenville are not listed among the ranks of any class, they surely are deserving of mention in these pages. Their craving for knowledge is admirable; they study so that they may be prepared to enter college next fall. Some of the post-graduate students take but one subject; others take three. In addition, most of them take an active interest in school affairs. During the past term there were nineteen taking the course; of these eight were girls and eleven were boys. The list includes: Margaret Cohn Gerald Eggleston Albert Walder Ruth Fish Helen Jones Florence Lane Dorothy Goodfriend George Stich George Seltzer Henry Pasternak Umbcrt Melaragno Alfred Mayer Victor Howard William Kwait Harry Artz Lazar Lipson Grace Woodruff Elsie Selman Harriet Osborne [73] Football “BENNY” FRIEDMAN Benny, our star varsity quarterback, was a consistent player all season. His work in articulating the signals was of such sterling quality that he was placed on the All Senate team by all the Cleveland papers. Ben will surely be missed next season. EINAR CARLSON Though “Swede” did not gain a varsity berth, he played a wonderful game with the seconds and is deserving of almost as much praise as the varsity men. BILL URANKER Bill also played end, and although he played in fewer games than some of the boys he deserves all the credit that is coming to him. “SID” DURSCHLAG “Sid” was also a prominent member of our varsity squad, serving the school in the capacity of end. His game all year was clean and hard; he was one of the best on the team in spite of his small size. “RIP” WAVRO “Rip” broke into enough games to earn his sweater and played a fine game on all occasions. His position was center, but he could also fill other positions when called upon. Wavro’s work was very commendable. HARVEY BINGHAM Although he was not husky enough for the team, “Harv” did a fine job as manager and worked hard to earn his letter. Basketball “BENNY” FRIEDMAN Benny also played a star game at the cage sport. His regular position was center bur he played guard during part of the season. ROBERT MILLER “Bob” was a varsity forward who ut up a keen display of ball tossing, ut was kept out of several games due to an injury early in the year. WILLIAM STERN “Bill” was a center on the seconds who played a good game at all times. “JERRY” HAVENS “Jerry” was a guard on the varsity, and he put up a wonderful game all season. He was unable to play in a few games due to illness but came back strong and again broke into the lineup at his old position. CLARK SPARGUR Playing a star game on the seconds, Clark earned much credit for his two years service. [74] Basketball MELVIN KRAUSE Playing center on the second team, “Mally” put up a dandy game. He played two terms on the scrubs. WILLMOTT LEIGHTON A forward on the scrubs, “Hinkie” did his part toward making the seconds a good team. Track CLARK SPARGUR Captain Spargur was the big star of the track squad all year. His work in the hurdles, the broad jump and several other events was a glad sight to behold. Clark has several medals to adorn his person but is too modest to make a show of them. “JIM” ANTONY Antony, a member of our crack relay team was a boy who sure could do some fancy stepping when pressed. REUBEN GOLLER Little Reuben was a real star on the track squad, his forte being the relays. He was one of the fastest men on the team and worked hard for'his letter. “DOUG” LEWIS Lewis was a pole-vaulter whose work was consistent all year. Baseball PHILIP DE S1CO “Phil” was a first sacker on the team who put up a wonderful exhibition of guarding the initial cushion. WILLMOTT LEIGHTON “Hink,” in spite of his lightness, served in the capacity of catcher. He did a fine job of receiving and surely earned his letter. MELVIN KRAUSE “Mally” was a twirler on the varsity. His southpaw slants kept the enemy guessing and his letter could not possibly be denied him. OSCAR FATHAUER “Osc” managed the diamond team. His work was difficult, and he is entitled to the little praise that managers always get. 175] Five Thousand Miles in No Time By Philip Solomon TOM was puzzled. He had worked over his problem for three days, had dreamt of it at night, and still he had arrived at no solution. Anybody else in his position would not have been puzzled—anyone else would immediately have given it up as impossible. So, also, would Tom have given it up, but Tom was ingenious and persistent—therefore he allowed himself to be puzzled. As was stated before, Tom was ingenious. He had shown his ingenuity by inventing an aeroplane which he believed could travel at the terrific speed of two hundred and fifty miles an hour. However, as is usually the lot with young inventors, he had neither the money nor the credit with which to finance his inventions. Therefore, he was very desirous to sell the patents of his aeroplane. The first morning after he had arrived at this conclusion, he started out with the confidence of youth, sure that the first man he talked to would jump at the chance to buy his aeroplane. However, he soon grew wiser. Most of the rich men to whom he applied for aid, did not even listen to him; a few heard him through but politely refused; and one kind man, while withholding aid himself, referred Tom to a man in San Francisco who might help him out. Having no other alternative left, Tom wrote to this man, Mr. Stearns by name, explaining his proposition and stating the possibilities of his machine. He waited hopefully for the reply, but when it finally came, he was disappointed. This is the way the letter read: Dear Mr. Thomas Jones: Regarding your letter of the twenty-fifth, I regret to state that I cannot take up your proposition unless the speed of your aeroplane is greatly increased. However, as you have no doubt advanced so far already, I have no doubt but that you will conform to my conditions. If, by using your aeroplane, you make the trip from your city to mine in no time whatever, I will agree to furnish all the money necessary for your purpose. Be sure to have an affidavit sworn out stating the exact time of your departure. Wishing you success in your enterprise, I remain, yours very truly, John J. Stearns. As the distance between Auckland, New Zealand, Tom’s home, and San Francisco is five thousand miles, it is no wonder that Tom was puzzled! He was to cover five thousand miles in no time! Of course, Mr. Stearns did not expect Tom ever to make the attempt. He just chose this unusual way to get rid of Tom. But Tom determined that he wras not going to be got rid of so easily; if there was any possible way to make the journey in no time, he was going to do it. Of course, we all think this feat is impossible; how can anyone cover such a great distance instantaneously? But Tom was stubborn, and would not give up. IT was a bright summer day in January. (New Zealand, as you know, has her summer when we have our winter.) Tom w’as lying out in a hammock under the shade of a tree, still thinking about his problem and its undiscovered solution. Fido, Tom’s little dog, was dozing away beneath the hammock. It was a peaceful scene, not one to suggest inventions anjd their mathematical complications; yet nothing else could enter Tom’s mind. He figured out for perhaps the hundredth time that he could make the trip in no [76] [Hiiii!iiiiiiniiiiiiii||]ini(iiitiimiiirmHiiiimiJi1'' fiiuiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiinlM jmidiiimiilliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMr Eirnnni|jrtinjnirnuimnii|' j I immalliiiuiiuimimnnitf I' • ''-oinniiiiniinlli) mnniniiiiinij 111 fHmTTTfl limuiuiililhiininiimiimii inminiimiiHmniiimiiiiitimmv A Iriiuimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilu 1 liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiniii less than twenty-four, or, at least, twenty-three hours. “Well,” thought Tom, “it’s no use my wasting my time on an impossible thing. But I’ll write that Mr. Stearns and tell him what I think of him, anyway!” It was at this point that Tom’s younger sister Mary came into the yard and asked Tom a question. Receiving no reply, she turned and began walking away. She was not surprised, for Tom had been acting queerly the last few days. Suddenly, a loud yell and a “Hurray! I’ve got it!” rent the air. Then followed in quick succession the rip of cloth and the shrill “kiyi ’ of a dog in pain. Nothing had happened except that Tom had solved the problem, and had become so excited over it that he split the hammock and landed bodily on poor, innocent Fido! Nevertheless the problem was solved! (At the expense of one hammock and little Fido’s feelings.) TMMEDIATELY the next day, Tom started preparations for the trip. By February third, he was all ready, had his papers signed and left New Zealand at exactly two o’clock in the afternoon. Regarding the voyage, little need be said. Suffice, that at one-thirty in the afternoon of February third of the same year, Tom arrived at San Francisco. By one-forty-five, he was waiting outside of Mr. Stearns’ office; a few seconds before two, he walked into the office and asked, “Mr. Stearns, will you please tell me the exact time?” “It is exactly two o’clock to the second,” replied Mr. Stearns. “But, why do you ask?” “Are you positive of the time?” “Certainly. It is a few seconds past two now, but when you came in it was exactly two.” “Very well,” returned Tom, “you will soon know the reason for my question. My name is Thomas Jones, and I have come here today to fulfill my part of the agreement between us which was to the effect that if 1 travelled the distance between my home in Auckland, New Zealand, to your office here, in no time by using my new aeroplane, you were to finance my inventions. I am now going to prove to you that I have travelled the required distance with my aeroplane in no time.” “What! Why, man alive! It’s impossible!” “Yet that’s just what I have done. Here is an affidavit duly sworn, showing that I left Auckland, New Zealand at two o’clock in the afternoon of February third, 1922; and, as you yourself have noticed, I arrived here at two o’clock in the afternoon of the same day and year. Is there any more proof that you could wish?” “I believe you, but I can’t see how you possibly could have done it!” “First sign this contract which will fulfill your side of the bargain, and then I will explain to you how I accomplished this feat.” Mr. Stearns signed, but looked quite bewildered. “Now then,” began Tom, “I will explain. When you made this proposition, you did so only because you thought it impossible for me to conform to it. At first, I thought so too, but still I kept thinking about it, trying to find some possible solution. However, a week passed, and I had progressed not at all. I figured out that the best time I could make the trip in was twenty-three hours —just about a day too much. Now, if I could get rid of that day, my problem would be solved. “One day when I was about to give [77] up the puzzle as hopeless, my little sister asked me a question that set me thinking. She wanted to know if I could tell her what the Sunday-Monday line is. As you probably know, this is the international date line; when it is Sunday on the western side, it is Monday on the eastern side. This imaginary line was the means of solving my problem. When I started on my journey, it was two p.m., February third, in New Zealand, but here in San Francisco, it was the same time, but February second. As it took me one day to make the trip when I arrived here, it was February third; therefore, as I started on February third, and finished on February third at the same time of the day, I made the journey of five thousand miles in no time. “Simple, now, isn’t it?” Alma Mater By Edith C. Kaplan XJOW upon the laughing waters There sets the shining sun. ’Tis a red and glorious sunset For now the day is done. Aye, the merry day is over And we laugh and sing no more. On the old beloved waters, For the boat has reached the shore. Oh, think not of the sun-light. And the golden joy it shed. Look you now upon the sunset, ’Tis her own, her glorious red! For a riband of her colors, Oh, take now as you part A bit of the red, red sunset. And wear it on your heart. Then a song, a song for Alma Mater, The old, bright sun has set. Aye, the old, bright sun has set. There comes the night, but stars are mem’ries And we never will forget, Fare you well, we’ll not forget. But even when the star-light Is not gleaming softly pale. Even then we will remember, When the darkest seas we sail, For the night is of your colors, Oh, the black and deepest night. And in our hearts, we wear it. By the sunset riband bright. Then a song, a song for Alma Mater, For your joys, the sun that’s set Your brightest sun that’s set. And the quiet night is for your mem’ries, Ah! we never will forget. Fare you well, we’ll not forget. I 78] Mac Tells His Story By Harold Wavro MY birthplace was in the mountains of Pennsylvania, on a quiet, peaceful farm. It was there that I learned what my life work was to be. One November morning, after the ground was covered with an inch of snow, my master, a very kind man, took my mother, a fine thoroughbred beagle, my sister Queen, my brother Track, and me into the woods. We were about ten months old then. My mother knew what she was to do, but we just played with each other in the snow. My master called us together, soon, and patted our heads. Then he said to my mother, “Go fetch them, Bess.” She put her nose to the ground and began to sniffle here and there; finally she began to bark and run. We followed and found she was chasing a rabbit, which my master shot. The gun scared me almost to death. Now my mother told us to stay close and watch while she taught us how to track rabbits. We went through her tactics, and this time she let us do the tracking; if we lost the track she showed us how to circle around and find it. We repeated these lessons all day and finally could do the tracking without our mother. Our master was pleased, and, to show his appreciation, we had a big supper that evening. Soon after this first trip we could run down rabbits as well as our mother. ♦ VNE day a man, whom my master called Bob, came to the farm. He became interested in me and bought me. As we left in the auto, I could see my sister and brother watch me speed away from them. My mother had cautioned me to be faithful and obedient and respectful to my new master. After a year I became well accustomed to my new surroundings and loved my new master very much. We had many exciting hunts; 1 am going to tell you one of the best ones we ever had. r I AHIS one took place A two winters ago in the vicinity of Clairdon, on a frosty December morning. Two inches of snow had fallen in the night, and it was an ideal morning. We went down the ravine at the back of the c farm-house. I chased six rabbits out of the bushes and my master shot each in turn, as we went. It was about ten o’clock when I came upon a track which I recognized as belonging to a fox, for I had at one time seen some near my birthplace. I became very much excited and barked and wagged my tail so my master would follow to see what I had found. When he sawr the track he said, “Ole clubfoot made that track; go fetch him, Mac.” He was called clubfoot because at one time he had been caught in a trap and had had his left hind leg broken from the first joint. This misfortune would make his tracks different from ordinary ones. The fox had gained quite a reputation in this vicinity because of his boldness, his cunningness, and his ability to avoid traps which were set for him. And those who had seen him said he had beautiful dark fur. As 1 started to track him, I thought over all the tricks of a fox. I w’as not MAC [79] used to hunting this animal, but I tried to recall all the things my mother had taught me. I discovered that the tracks were not over two hours old. The wind was in my face, which fact was one point to my advantage. I had not gone far when I found where club foot had eaten his breakfast. I found the bones of a partridge, and they were chewed clean; this was another point to my advantage for old cluh-foot would no doubt be lazy after acquiring a full stomach. His trail soon became fresher, and I finally chased him out of some briers where he had been lying. Then I barked to let my master know I had jumped him. The race was now on, and we both put forth our best efforts. 1 am not long-legged like a fox-hound, but just a beagle, so he soon outran me, but I kept on his trail. He circled far to the east, then to the south, and finally switched to the northwest. I called to my master, “He’s coming! he’s coming!” Bob then concealed himself in some bushes on a stump. Just as our fox was to pass within twenty-five feet of him, a sudden puff of wind sent clubfoot news of his danger and before my master could shoot he was going about sixty miles an hour due northeast. It was now about one o’clock and Mr. Reynard was still going strong. It was becoming more difficult to track him for he was using his tricks to throw me off the trail. Once I thought he had succeeded, but I remembered my mother had told me to make a circle around the place where I had lost the track. So I began to circle about, and off ten feet to the right I found where he had side-jumped to throw me off. So I was on my way again. He was now circling to the Southeast but I noticed his leaps were growing smaller. This fact renewed my efforts, and increased my speed. I was trailing him when all of a sudden his tracks seemed to be going both ways; I decided he had doubled back on me and played his side-jump trick again. I circled again and once more found his track, which showed he was going south. The snow had begun to melt and the ground was quite wet. My mother had told me that foxes collect balls of ice on their tails in sloppy weather, so I began to look to see if Club-foot’s tail was dragging. When a fox’s tail gets a ball of ice on it, he is severely handicapped and he tires quickly. Mr. Fox was now going northwest, and I put more effort in my running. As I came to an open field, I could see club-foot just going over the hill and I was greatly encouraged. I barked, to let my master know we were coming, for I knew we were heading in his direction. I could now see my running mate ahead of me with his rail dragging, but he was putting up a game fight to gain his liberty. I knew I could catch him easily now if my master was not near. He was now only two hundred yards in front of me; then one hundred—now I was thinking about the way I was going to shake him up. Only fifty yards separated us when bang! old clubfoot fell over—my master had shot him. Then— My master hugged me and patted my head and said, “That-a-boy, Mac.” We returned to the farmhouse tired, hungry, and worn out, but we were a happy pair. Old clubfoot’s days were over and we had accomplished what others had failed to do—we were victorious and happy.

Sonnet By Hugh Fairclough The flowers are out, the fields arc clothed in color; The snow is gone, the streams are clear and pure: The trees are bringing forth their fruit much fuller, And all the world is now as oft of yore. The cricket sounds his chirping in the night, The frogs do croak and all the world’s at peace; The birds do make sweet music while the light Does still remain, and so the gentle breeze. The days are bright, the company is gay; The year is now in youth and free from care. The fruits are in the making, and the air No longer holds the frigidness gone by- For all the joy is here and we are gay Because we all are free to live and die. [82] The Price of Wisdom By Milton Grossman GRADUATION! A magic word! It is that which flats crave, sophs desire, juniors slave for, and seniors— high and mighty seniors—despise. And what is responsible for their attitude? It is nothin’ else but that trying ordeal of being “mugged” for the Annual. The wisest thing to do is to put off until the last minute that nerve-racking performance. (This is done in order to reduce one to the proper pitch of anxiety and excitement, thus rendering oneself a total wreck at the start. All of which is quite conducive to taking a good picture.) By way of illustration: On the day set for my own appearance at the photographers, I arose an hour earlier than usual, and started making-up for the grand event. After wrestling with the comb and brush for the greatest part of the hour—to the utter disgust of the rest of the family—and after making five or six false exits, each time only to return to the mirror, I finally pronounced myself “fit for the slaughter.” For like a lamb to the slaughter it was— a muttonhead dressed to kill. At the same time, no doubt, I was thinking that if Rex Ingram could see me he’d “cop” me off for his next picture; but as luck would have it, he never saw me. (He missed a treat that time.) But I reconciled myself by going out and giving the girls a treat instead; all of whom, I imagined, were awed by my peculiar type of beauty. Nothing daunted, however, I went forth like a knight of old in quest of the Holy “something or other.” I was to have my picture preserved and cherished by posterity; so for that I braved all. Oh! But that entrance to the photographer’s was so entrancing. Right away 1 was entranced and relieved of the cost of the pictures, even before I knew I was in the right place. That scene was a touching one. The next is one long to be remembered. This might just as well be called the triumph of mind over matter. Needless to say, I wasn't the one possessed of mind, being only a high school senior. After taking a seat in the photography room and after being twisted up into all sorts of positions, I was at last honored by a frown. But alas! I was by no means settled. With a gentle poke the man jarred my teeth in getting me into a prong which was to hold my neck steady. By the way he handled me, I should think that he used human dumbbells to exercise with. But I was given little time for thought. Immediately the photographer tried to “prong” me somewhere on the back of the neck, and yet at the same time get me to look natural—but I knew, even if he didn’t, that it was not my natural position to have my ear lying skyward. Then the master moved hack to take a look at that shrinking piece of humanity before him, which look, my instinct told me would be an admiring one, but instead came, “Say, boy, can’t you look pleasant?” Immediately I smiled my sweetest. “Say, boy, you’re not posing for a dental ad. Shut your mouth. Just look natural.” I heeded. Then, “No, no. 'Fake that sickly expression off.” However, after much maneuvering, I was put in an agreeable position— agreeable, of course, only so far as the man in command was concerned. My neck, if it could he called a neck now, resembled an “S,” while my face—no words were fit to describe it. In this pleasant (?) position, I was left until the photographer reached his camera. After counselling me to look natural—not, however, first untwisting my neck for me, he closed with the remarks, “When I count three I’ll snap.” Whereupon 1 proceeded to look natural. “One.” Horrors my sneezing powders started doing the Lochinvar act and came out of my vest. “Two.” They were rapidly collecting in my nose. “Thr—.” “Kerchoo,” I interrupted. At least they got a good picture of me in action that time. Number two didn’t come off bad at all. After I had lived through all four sittings, I was inspired to ask whether he thought my pictures would have to he touched up. After taking one long, hard look at my nasal fixture, he blithely answered me, “Yes, I’ll probably have to touch it up.” Methinks he put too much emphasis on “up.” But after all, getting a picture taken is like getting married. You go because everybody else goes, then your money leaves you; and last but not least you’re taken for better or for worse. 184] I LAID down my knitting with a sigh, and leaning back in my rocker, closed my eyes. I was just dozing off to sleep, when youthful Georgic burst into the room with the usu l clatter and bang that always made me fear for the safety of the plaster in the room below. “Hch, Grandma, wake up,” he shouted. ‘‘I can’t find the spare tire to my young aeroplane. Where did you put it?” ‘‘I didn’t put it anywhere,” I replied wearily. “It's under the kitchen sink where you left it.” A moment later there was a loud buzz, and he was gone to join the other boys in some game. Now, in my day, children didn’t have all those new-fangled playthings. And we were a lot happier, too. Now, when I was young—. And I fell to dreaming lazily. ‘‘I’d give anything to take another look at those old days,” I said wistfully, half aloud. “I’ll take you up on that,” said a small voice in my ear, and I turned an astonished glance upon a grinning countenance that could scarcely see over the arm of my chair, and whether you believe it or not, it so closely resembled Pat Dwyer that I was temporarily bereft of speech. “If you’ll give me that pair of stockings you’re knitting, you can see anything you want,” he said, exhibiting one of the largest feet I had ever seen on a creature so small. “Oh!” was all I could say. Then when I had collected my scattered wits, “Who are you?” “Never mind. Is that a go?” “You bet,” I agreed. “Now, what would you see past, present, or future?” “Oh, the past,” I said hastily. “I’d love to see the good old school, and the good old crowd. Yes, I want to see old Glenville High School and all the class again.” “That’s fine,” he said with a grin. Then looking carefully around, he nudged me confidentially. “I used to go there, too.” “Oh, you are Pat Dwyer, then!” I cried. “I know you are.” But before he answered, my attention was engrossed in a large mirror that I had not noticed before. “It’s the Magical Mirror of Memories,” he said. “Just watch it and you II see everything you want to.” Then the strangest thing happened. The tiny dancing lights seemed to take form, and in a moment a great host was seen moving slowly across it. “What’s that,” I cried, “the lost tribe?” “No, no,” he said impatiently, “that’s we. Don’t you remember the day we took Glenville by storm? Oh, it was a rand sunny day in September when we rst ambled up Parkwood Drive. There was a big lawn and shade trees, and it looked to us as though the whole school was sitting out in the front yard. It was a terrible shock to find such a moh inside too. Everybody seemed to be wandering around with nothing in particular to do, and nobody to see that [85] they did it. We joined the mob and wandered around too, but it was rather embarassing to have everybody look at us so queerly when we asked to be directed to the elevator to take us up to the gymnasium. But it didn’t take us long to learn. After we found out that it was a most unwise policy to ask anybody, but especially sophs, for directions; and that Mr. Davies was really a teacher, and that you didn't first buy tickets in the lunch room; and that it was a real skeleton in the closet; and that one should always be on one’s best conduct when Mr. Towne was in range; and that freshies were created to be subject matter for jokes; and a number of other things we got on fairly well.” “Yes,” I said, “and don’t you remember how we gazed in dumb admiration at those heavenly looking seniors, who disdained to give us even a passing glance? “Well, summer came ’round at last, and when we again showed our shining morning faces, we were sophomores, at least most of us were. It was our turn now, for sophs are always the same, and the freshman crop that year seemed especially verdant. About the time this great pastime began to pall upon us; excitement came to us in the person of Coach Thellar. Yes, those were strenuous days. Look at this! And I saw an earnest looking figure addressing a large audience, and I heard the words, “Now, girls, you can do your part by seeing that these fellows get to bed by nine o’clock.” “Why, it’s Dutch Thellar!” I cried. “You’re right,” answered the small creature. “He made things sit up and take notice. We had to stir our stumps to keep up with him all right. Well, our football enthusiasm held us for a while, and then we made our debut in society. Yes, we had our first class event and we deemed it a thrilling experience.” The mirror now showed a play in progress, and there was Einar Carlson imitating Mr. MacRae, and saying, “Don’t say there is no such thing as a green cow, because if I painted one green, there would be.” “Do you remember that party? After about two months of planning, we decided to have a tea, and invite our maters. We had a program in the Aud. that was attended by most of the school, and then had eats in the lunch room. However, it wasn’t long before we had a regular party. This time we had dancing, though most of us were contented to stand around and watch the others. “So our sophomore year passed, and when we came back in September with sunburn and new bobs, we were surrounded by the joy of being uppa-clawsmen and the deafening din of steamshovels. It took a strong constitution to bear up under the strain and a lusty pair of lungs to make one’s self heard. Nervous breakdowns among teachers were quite in order, not to mention the pupils; though the plea of being unable to hear a single word and therefore flunking' tests provided an excellent and acceptable excuse, and half days of school were quite the thing. “So things dragged along or flew along, according to the individual attitude, until we were llA’s: of age as it were, and ready to organize into a regular class with a president and everything.” The picture in the mirror now resembled a voting booth on election day. An orderly line-up outside, and people marking ballots inside could be seen. “Yes,” he went on, “we were the first class to have a regular election, and all the others have followed our example. Yes, we’re quite an original class. “Horrors!” I cried looking at the mirror, “What’s that? A riot?” “No, silly, that’s a class-meeting. We had a number of them and chose our purple and white, class rings, faculty advisors, and various and sundry other things. T hen followed a party with a picnic supper, wherein many promising young citizens showed equally promising appetites. Also, certain members distinguished themselves in the dramatization of ‘Henry Esmond.’ “Then came our glorious adventure, namely, senior year. It started out with a bang and kept going the same way; dances galore, and plays generously interspersed. Then came Glenville night [86] at Keith’s to celebrate the victories of our heroes, and to help us, through fond memories, through the strenuous days to come. “Finally we, that is those of us who survived the final elimination, enjoyed our premier affair as full-blown 12A’s, together with our immediate predecessors, in the form of the annual Senior banquet. Don’t forget about Mr. Pirn passing by with certain members of our class in tow. Yes, they certainly showed a vast quantity of dramatic ability. The mirror now showed a small room full of brilliant looking personages, and strains of “Calmly roll on, Oh Danube-” could plainly be heard. “They’re practicing for commencement,” he enlightened me. “The entire environs always reverberated with melody on Fridays, not with standing the alto singers. Then came class-night and a little later our Annual, and then to crown our long and checkered careers, a picnic at Edith’s. Oh, those were the happy days!” This time the mirror held a truly sad and touching sight. Slowly up long aisles to the time of a solemn march were treading dejected looking mortals. They filed slowly across a large platform, and took their seats in silence. There they sat with hanging heads and averted eyes. “Yes, it was a sad experience,” he said. “All during those four short years we waited impatiently for that reat moment, and then when it did nally come, it seemed like the end of the trail. It did seem rather comfortable to reflect, however, that we had distinguished ourselves among classes, and left our footprints on Glenville’s sands. As all things must end, so must our high school career; and we were ready to take the world by storm, and leave our mark carved along its steep and rugged eaned back in my chair and closed my eyes to ruminate upon those bygone days. Just then I heard a loud stamping and scuffing of feet, and I jumped up in a hurry; but it was too late. He was gone, with the mirror and the stockings; and it was Georgie who came bursting into the room. Frances Lohr. [87] THIS ANNUAL WAS PRINTED by THE PREMIER PRESS 1825 East 18th Street Cleveland [88] FACULTY Faculty GLENVILLE may well boast of one of the best teaching forces in the city. With the roll showing seventy-four names, it is well equipped to serve our two thousand students efficiently. Year by year more educators are added to their numbers; all are capable of shouldering their responsibility. Glenvillc is lucky to have such an efficient faculty. During the past term the following list of teachers guided our destinies. Allyn, W. P. Bear, Maud C. Bcrnan, L. S. Bernstein, Tina Biddle, H. C. Blake, L. L. Bosch, A. Boyd, Bertha Boyd, W. J.

Then, on March 29th, the real board was elected, and all the material was handed over to them. Since that time there have been regular meetings at least once a week, and the board was extremely busy working on the magazine. The class, too, has been full ofloyal supporters and contributors and have helped the board to make the Annual the big success that we hope it is. I he following are the members of the board as elected by the class: Editor-in-chief...............Norman Tischler {Eleanor Quass Dorothy Neill Pat Dwyer, (Prophet) Business Manager................ .Maurice Beyer Assistant Business Manager ......Lester Hanson Circulation Manager...........Oscar Fathauer Advertising Manager..............Robert Forker Assistant Advertising Managers— Irene Galvin, Leonard I.abowitz Class Historian....................Frances Lohr Art Committee—F.leanor McCartney (Chairman) Ruth Klein, Eleanor Senior Grace Fawcett Carl Shiland Helen Beck John Bailey Harold Wavro BOARD MEMBERS Harvey Bingham Sidney Durschlag Willmott Leighton Milton Grossman Harold Keller Elizabeth Corlett Einar Carlson Edmund West Shirley Barnum Edith Kaplan [91] Reflector Board HTHF, Reflector has just completed a prosperous and successful year. Because of an increase in circulation, and of efficient financial management, the board found it possible to increase the size of the monthly, first to thirty-two pages, and later to thirty-six pages. In spite of this increase in size, the price was reduced from twenty to fifteen cents. The aim of the staff this year has been to give the school just what it wanted in the way of a magazine. With this in view there have been added new headings, illustrations for the stories and jokes, new departments, and special features. The board that has been organized for next term is experienced in the work before them, and with loyal backing from the students should have another successful year.

During the past semester the paper has been improved in practically every direction. Though the board did not see fit to increase the size of the publication, the amount of material included was made greater by elimination of the process of “leading” and by a decrease in the amount of space devoted to advertising matter. The general quality of the news and the appearance of the sheet also have seen improvement under the regime of the staff which guided the school journal for the past term. The Torch has had a very successful year and the board feels they have done their best to make the paper the best possible.

Of the four debates staged dViring that time, the team has received four favorable decisions, all by a unanimous vote of the judges. This is a record seldom equalled. Next term the entire squad, with the exception of Edward Wallach and Marvin Kline, who graduated last February, will retain their positions on the team. The coach, Mr. Sicha, has been an invaluable aid to the prosperity of the team; and with practically the same team, and the same expert coaching it can be hoped that the results of next years debating will be as favorable as they were this term. The team lines up as follows: Marvin Kline Lillian Kessler Carl Weissber Irving Kane Jerome Folkman Ed. Wallach Ralph Goldburg Harry Lodish Clinton Goodwin [94] Student Council T?OR two years the Student Council Organization has struggled to make itself felt in our school life. It was not until the past term, however, that they succeeded to any appreciable extent. Members of the Student Council are elected every term, three from each class, making a total enrollment of eighteen. This short term of individual service has been criticized severely and it seems probable that beginning with next term the councilors will be elected only once a year. One of the biggest drawbacks to a successful council has been the lack of interest common to the student body. If the school can be made to realize the worth of a representative body such as our council, the results will be seen at once.

Due to the constant uncertainty as to the eligibility of players, the quintet played against odds and had to he content with annexing six out of their ten engagements. They were encouraged by their first two victories, over Cathedral Latin andWest High, but East High set hack their fond hopes with a 32 to 11 jolt. The Thellarites proceeded to reverse that defeat by trimming West Tech, Central, South and Longwood in order. In these last four contests, Glenville outscored their opponents by only 5 points, a slim margin. The last three games of rhc year went on the debit side of the book, for Lincoln, West Commerce, and East Tech each gave the local five a lacing. For the entire season Glenville scored only 183 points; her opponents totalled 216 markers. The squad included Friedman, Velvic, Havens, Weiss, Shimrack, Smith, Dietrich, Miller, Trivison, Nank, Garmon, Mattie and Bauer. Bob Hess was manager of the team while Dutch Thellar held the coaching reins. [96[ TP ;; • Track Team ' I MIE Glenville Track team of 1923 took up the good work where it was left by the cinder path artists of a year ago and turned in a very satisfactory account of their ability. Having tied Fast Tech for the Senate title last spring, the local hoofers had a reputation to uphold and got away to a remarkable start. Third place was captured in the big meet at Public Hall, which was a good showing considering the abundance of select contestants. Following this the fleet-footed lads reigned supreme in several dual and triangular meets. Their strength soon became widely broadcasted, with the result that several of the men attended the University of Michigan meet at Ann Arbor. Foremost among the individual members was Captain Spargur, who specialized in the hurdles and broad jump events. He was not the only star, however, for other luminaries also came to the fore during the course of the season. The local track team is justified in feeling satisfied with their season’s work, for they gave their all to the cause and turned in a fine record. Next year the team expects to do even better for Coach Colonius is gradually building up a formidable team from the under classes. All the squad needs is loyal student support. [97] Hi Y GLENYILLE’S Hi Y Club, though it meets with the other east end Hi Y groups at the East End Y. M. C. A., is truly an organization w orking solely for the good of the school. Its purpose is “To create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout the school and community,” and to do all in its power for the betterment of the school. During the past school year the activity of the Hi Y has been unusually manifest. At every meeting of the year motions were passed which directly affected Glenville affairs. Glenville Night at Keith’s was one of the most successful Hi Y projects. The “Find Yourself” campaign was another. These tw’o, together with the annual sophomore rally, are the most outstanding jobs for which the organization w'as responsible during the past year. The local group includes twenty-five fellows, seven of whom belong to the present graduating class. President...........................Ed. West Viee-President.. ...........

The club was responsible for the installation of a complete radio outfit in the physics department and feels it has established itself as a thriving school institution. It is one of the few local clubs who have gained the recognition and favor of the faculty. Its list of active members includes twenty-five boys, and there are many on the w aiting list, due to the fact that the enrollment is limited by the constitution. OFFICERS President......

It is an organization for the promoting of dramatics, and takes the place of the extinct Glenville High Dramatic Club. There are at present seventy-five active members in the group, and meetings are held regularly on alternate Thursdays during the school year. To become a member of the organization a student must prove to the satisfaction of the club and Miss Kelly, the supervisor, that he has dramatic ability. Tryouts are held at regular intervals.

A. Milne. The play was presented on March 22nd and 23rd in the local auditorium. It was considered by some to be the best play ever produced in Glenville and had already been placed among the ten best plays produced in America in 1922. At any rate, the comedy was a huge success; the cast, and Miss Kelly, who did the coaching, are deserving of much praise, as are the stage hands and the rest of the staff for their splendid back-stage work. Financially, as well, the play was a success, the money being donated to the library. Every member of the cast did a fine job of acting, and the play was really a masterpiece, one that will long be remembered in Glenville. George Marden Olivia Marden . Dinah Marden . Brian Strange...

They play at all the school plays and will entertain us on commencement night. With its forty members, the group is capable of wide variety in its selections.

O. T. C. Officers ] yfILITARY training has taken a prominent position in our curriculum for 1 the past two years. This term the R. O. T. C. unit has been better organized than ever before. More interest was shown in the work and the results were apparent. Under the capable guidance of Lieut. Baker, S’g’t. Fisher and Warrant Officer Mitchell, the cadets have learned the fine points of the army game and the young officers have received valuable training in leading men. The officers staff for the last semester was a well organized group; each man had his work to do and he did it well. At the military Hop the battalion sponsors did their first work. It was here that they were officially commissioned and since then they have been known by their honorary title of major or captain. STAFF Gerald Eggleston........................

It was from this company that most of the cadets representing Glenville in the annual held day events came. Though the Glenville representative company did not annex the cup for company drill, they finished a good second to West Tech. This is a distinction to be proud of. The fine showing of the local crack company reflects the splendid training our cadets receive from their instructors. Lieutenant Raker, Sergeant Fisher, and Warrant Officer Mitchell. Mr. Culoimis had charge of the physical education of the cadets. The above company was commanded by Major Gcntsch, with Julius Goldman acting as top sergeant. EITHEREVER he went he was met by the Annual hoard members with, “Well, Jeremiah, how’s that original prophecy coming along?” When the inquisitive board members had their curiosity assuaged, the Prophet’s classmates buttonholed him, pulled him to one side, and desired him to make them sultans, or ambassadors, or something nice like that. Finally, the poor Prophet (who, by the way, had never acted in the capacity of a prognosticator before) decided to let the prophecy take care of itself until he should be stirred by a few stray inspirations. “In the meantime,” he said, “I will go into rhe chemical laboratory and make some hydrogen sulfide. I need something strong to quicken the action of my think-box.” Forthwith, he repaired to the aforementioned laboratory, and concocted a terrible brew by pouring some hydrochloric acid over a few lumps of iron sulfide. Now, to those unfortunates who have never delved in the mysteries of chemistry, be it known that hydrogen sulfide is a gas, which, when first smelled, is very conducive to sudden, violent remarks which are usually startlingly original. So the prophet let the scent trickle up his nasal organ. And while the swoon was still upon him, he dreamed a dream in which he imagined that he had grown older, and that he was dying; the Angel of Death was hovering over him, while he was enjoying a fleeting recollection of his high-school days. Whereupon he half rose, and spoke thus: “Here, here! If I got through four years of high school and weathered tests in Geometry, in Algebra, and in Chemistry, I’ll be consigned to eternal perdition if I die now!” So he doubled up, sank his feet in the spectre’s abdomen, and thrust him out the window. Next, he dashed down stairs, turned a few hand-springs and climbed into his second hand Ford. This relic chugged up the street for a few minutes until it disintegrated three doors from a sign proclaiming: “Drs. John and Paul Bailey; We Fix Anything.” Our prophet untied the crank-shaft from his neck, coughed up three or four cylinders, and staggered up the stairs to the doctor’s office. Edwin Niver opened the door, and ushered him into a cozy room where the two physicians were busy taking Frank Gentsch apart to see what made him cheer. Our prophet gave an insinuating cough behind his hand to attract their attention, and Paul stopped operations long enough to look him over, feel his pulse and to tell him that he needed a sea trip, and that a charge of ten dollars [ 109] for professional services was preferred against him. John looked up, demanded half of the proceeds, and bade the prophet good-day. CIX weeks from his visit to the Doc- tors (the prophet dreamed) he was sailing his own schooner eastward over the booming Atlantic into the heart of the sunrise. The trip was for his health, but his crew kept him so busy he didn't have any time for rest. The mate was a big Swede named Einar Carlson, and the cook a ferocious Irishman, John McCarty. Between the two of them, the skipper had no peace. The rest of the crew was made up of Frank Keiley, Bill Carlton, Bud Ison, Harold Finney, Doug. Lewis, Milton Spero and Nathan Kwait. Every man stayed with the ship but Frank Keiley, who deserted at Zanzibar and became a Sheik. The schooner made London one night in a fog, and the crew tumbled ashore in a brace of shakes to lubricate their vocal organs. The prophet was led to the customs office, and thoroughly searched by Harvey Bingham, in charge. Evelyn Fairfield and Dorothy Dicbold showed him upstairs, and opened the door to a spacious chamber wherein the ambassador was conversing with Eleanor McCartney, the famous specialist, who had devised a serum to inject pupils with vitality on Blue Mondays. She and the ambassador, Dorothy Neill, were tiring of court life and desired to be appointed by the American Government to study Indian Sanskrit. Just then the door opened again, admitting the Duke, Bob Forker, and Count Carl Shiland. The Count had Florence McRitchey leaning on his arm, and bowed low as the duke kissed the ambassador’s hand and told her how lonely he was on bis estate without a duchess. The prophet left them all chatting gayly and wended his way back to his ship. It was not long before they pulled anchor and continued on their way. As they were passing down the channel, they picked up a boat containing twelve men who were about all worn out. Rip Wavro and Charlie Frack were two of them. They said that they had just got back from Ireland, where they had tried to institute a mixed form of monarchial government to keep peace in the land. Charlie said that the natives took to it very unkindly. The Prophet’s ship continued toward Brest. Storms delayed the cruise, and the vessel didn’t reach Brest until late in the week. There the Prophet boarded a train Parisward. As the train neared Paris, huge signs began to appear near the tracks, announcing: “Vous avez besoin de Tischlfr’s eau de coiffeur” (You need Tischler’s hair tonic) or, “Laissez Tischler montre vous comme d’avoir belles cheveux.” (Let Tischler show you how' to have beautiful hair). The travellers followed them up and found Norman Tischler and Ed West selling the stuff so fast that a squad of gendarmes had to hold the crowd back. Eleanor Quass kept the books, and Norman informed the Prophet that he had close on to a million dollars saved up. Before the mate could drag him away, Tischler sold a bottle to the prophet in order to promote the growth of a long white beard, which, according to Tischler was the mark of all true prophets.' When the mate and the prophet got back to the ship they found that Phil Solomon and John Bailey had stowed away. Our Prophet was very fierce, but John said that there was no doctor aboard, and he thought that it w-as his duty to come along and cure scurvy, or some disease like that to which sailors are subject. Phil said that he would act as interpreter when they sailed to foreign countries. Then, one fine day the crew hoisted the vessel’s sails. At this time it was growing dark, and Einar Carlson was bawling with a bull voice for the Prophet to get back in a hurrv, or they would leave him. At last the captain returned, the schooner answered her helm, heeled over on the starboard tack, gathered way, and finally left the French Coast down on the horizon far to the Northward. They called at many ports, but didn’t stay. When they stopped at Gibraltar, 1 HO] they had a surprise. Captain, mate, and crew went ashore to stretch their legs, and when they got back on the wharf they met Harold Keller selling “Keller's Korn Kure.” He apparently had no sense, because sailors never have corns, inasmuch as they never wear shoes, and they hardly ever walk any distance to speak of. Needless to say, no one desired to buy any, but he called his colleague, Ed Wallach, and they had a brief conversation. When they were through they both opened up, praised that Kure to the skies, and actually sold two bottles to every one of the crew, the Prophet included! As the ship sailed out, the salesmen could be seen counting their money, and nudging each other in high glee. The Strait of Gibraltar is very narrow at places and a small canoe was seen heading out towards us from the African shore. It was laden with fruit, and manned by Philip DeSico and Bob Book. These two gentlemen had gone into the fruit growing industry, and made a habit of selling their produce to passing ships. No, they had no important news, except that a new missionary school had been opened near their farm—run by Helen Beck, Grace Fawcett, Doris Chase, Malvina Goldman, Alvin Hahn, Doris Peterson, and Lucille Helmke. A short stop was made at Algiers where eight American millinery stores were recently installed. Helen Dunlap and Madeline Edmondson ran one for Arabs; Ruth Gammell and Pauline Mor-kel supplied the Greeks with head gear. Frances Lohr had a store opposite Maud McLeod’s, and both of them did their best to draw trade. The other four stores were owned by Marion Pumph-rey, Evelyn Randall, Irene McBride and Dorothy Hodgins. None of them had to pay taxes because Leonard Labowitz was mayor of the town, and he didn’t have the heart to tax the ladies. Rome was the next port; as the schooner entered the river below the city, a band, led by Dorothy Egert, struck up “The Parade of the Wooden Soldiers.” At the end of a pleasant stay in the city, after having heard Maurice Beyer deliver a speech on “Why Italians do not speak Portugese” the ship left port, and cleared for Cairo. The Cheerful Bachelor reached Cairo shortly afterward and was greeted by fourteen red-cross nurses. They were Ruth Freiberg, Dorothy Davis, Rebecca Bartholemew, Mary Arnett, Mary Copland, Hazel Elliot, Norma Higgins, Maxine Goldstein, Maryland Garret, Louise Schultz, Clara Hamel, Ruth Rosenberg, Madge Test, and Evelyn Shahan. These sweet nurses lined up on the wharf and said that an American circus had just reached town on the last boat, and that, if the crew hurried, they would be in time to see the whole show. By pulling the right strings, the prophet and his men secured good front seats for a very nominal price, where they sat serenely puffing their Turkish cheroots until the show began. The first act was composed of fourteen ballet girls, who danced around the ring in their bare feet and long Egyptian robes. When the act ended, they took off their face masks, and there stood revealed, Virginia Smith, Marie Sberna, Nellie Thompson, Marjorie Grey, Jennie Kaffenberger, Sarah Green, Norma Kirschstein, Luella Krause, Leona Mowery Dorothy Conaghan, Dorothy Berkowitz, Virginia Newman, Jeanette Perdan, and Alma Koch. They were encored seven times, but at last the manager of the show, Lester Winkle, came out and said that the applause was holding up the rest of the performance. Whereupon the audience desisted. The next act was led by Oscar Fathauer, who drove around a ring in a second-hand Ford, and then drove out again. Marian Wells then did a little “chalk talking,” while Althea White kept up a running fire of comment. Harold Senor was a clown, who cracked wise at the expense of the Prophet’s red hair. Then there was an act taken from King Richard III, wherein Ruth Klein was Queen Margaret, Eugene Higgins was Richard, Rita Klein and Emery Green were Clarence’s children, Edith Kaplan was Queen Elizabeth. Lester Hanson, Earl Hoffman and Martin [111] [112] Fischlin were Vauhan, Grey and Rivers; Ben Friedman took the part of the Duke of Buckingham, and “Hink” Leighton acted Sir Richard Ratcliff. The play was progressing at a great rate until Eugene Higgins lost his hump, thereby crabbing the act. Maximo Novak and Hazel Lamont were scheduled to appear next in the lion taming scene, but Maximo went on strike for higher wages, so Lester Winkle fired him, and shot the lions. Pauline Niece and Ruth Parker came prancing out with a twelve foot Boa Constrictor wrapped around their necks, and executed their interpretation of a Sioux war dance. The show came to an end as Clark Spargur filed out on the stage with his trained cannibals from the upper Congo. Clark had a little republic up there, and found that the only way to make the cannibals behave themselves was to center their attention on something other than eating. So, he made them practice every day for two years until he had developed a perfect track team out of them. His hurdlers were the pride of his heart, and his relay team was faster than a California jackrabbit equipped with four inch springs; they made connections so fast that they didn’t even affect the plate of a GraflRex camera. Elizabeth Corlett said that the show was a fake, and demanded her money back. DOWN the Red Sea The Bachelor sailed, all under a cloudless sky, with a low-lying sandy coast on the right where the sky touched the sea. At Aden they met no one whom they knew, so they headed southwest and laid their course for Zanzibar, that erstwhile tropical hole of iniquity, where Arab slave chows used to ply their trade under the purple pall of night, and where adventurers from the cities of the world gathered in quest of ivory. Here Frank Keily deserted, as has already been mentioned, so the prophet picked up a beach-comber to take his place. When this gentleman got through taking a bath, he turned out to be Harry Smith. The red hair was unmistakable. The next port was Colombo, Ceylon, the home of the pink elephant. None were seen, however, as the Rajah, Hadden Lentz, had them all locked up against the wishes of Hugh Fairclough, Milton Klein, Charles Seaman, Louis Reiter, and Ben Schwartz. These lads had established a zoo back in Louisville, Kentucky, and the only animal they were short of was a white elephant. Hadden had two dozen white elephants, but he refused to part with so much as a hair from their tails; the upshot of it was “Pat” had them all locked up (the elephants—not the zoologists). Southwest across the Bay of Bengal, the little vessel drove through a howling typhoon, and reached the Nicobar Islands in time to stop a serious leak. The natives were very kind; they went so far as to show them their gods, and the Bachelor’s crew were very much surprised to recognize Sylvia Sidenberg as the chief goddess, and Sanford Simms as the head god. They told the prophet that they had been shipwrecked in a monsoon similar to the one which nearly swamped his vessel. In order to impress the natives, Sanford played his fiddle, and Sylvia danced; whereupon the natives put them on pedestals, and formed a new religion. They asked to be taken aboard, but the Bachelor was bound in the opposite direction from that in which they wanted to go. At the head of Borneo there is a long island called Palawan which is included in the Philippine group, and here the schooner ran on a reef. It took a whole month to repair the damage, but the crew found it very interesting work for the island was colonized entirely by women, who went there to study the means of restoring Lapland to the Eskimos. Among the prime supporters of the work were Evelyn Schwartz, Esther Rein, Jennie Levitt, Margaret Rowlands, Irene Galvin, Dorothy Baker, Zona Householder, Hilda Wolk, Edith Scranton and Helen Rutter. Naturally, when the boat was finally repaired, the gang were loath to leave the island, but, if they wished to make Hong Kong, they had to start moving right away for the South China Sea is no picnic ground at that time of the year. At Hong Kong they were assailed with [113] a boat load of girls selling barking swans. No one wished to make a purchase, but the females climbed aboard, dragged their barking birds after them and introduced themselves all around. Helen Zarkower was one; Peg Page was another. The rest of the bunch included Adele Steiner, Margaret Ruzick, Eleanor Koch, Lillian Barron, Helen Issel, Cora Kirkland, Irene Kreinbring, Rhea Levy, Hilda Reisse, and Lillian Kohn. Every sailor bought a barking swan. At Honolulu, a syndicate, composed entirely of girls, promoted a sun glass company. The glasses were designed to defy the strong local sun rays. Sun blindness was impossible according to the guarantee. Alice Buell was the organizer, and Jeanette Davis, Eleanor Dingledey, Alice Kirsch, Alice Wiese, and Edith Saywell were the board of directors. The entire crew developed weak eyes and left for Panama with sunglasses adorning their optical organs. At Chpperton Island, Dorothea Walker had a hospital for pet canaries; she received patients from all over the world. “The climate is ideal for incapacitated canaries,” said Dot. Her helpers included Lillian Schwert and Devera Verstein. Passing through the Panama canal, the schooner was welcomed by a seven gun salute from the coast guards. The governor, Grace Kelly, had a banquet to celebrate the return of the ship from her long trip around the globe. The Prophet washed himself, bought a new suit of clothes, thoroughly squeezed all the salt out of his eyebrows and hair, and helped the governor preside over the banquet. Viola Franck and Mabelle Gans danced, and Faye Messier and Alfreda Kennedy took up a collection for the benefit of poor sailors’ parrots. The party made a short stop at Cuba, making a visit to the Seely Hat Works where they saw how straw Kelleys are manufactured. They refused to buy any, however, and soon wrere on their way to New York. The mayor of New York put off on a special launch to interview the Prophet, when lo! the Prophet awoke. “Just think,” he said, “during all that time when I was snoring, I could probably have begun that blamed old prophecy.” “Now I have to start in. Caramba!” Pat Dwyer. I 1H] Our Bed-time Story DAT DWYER had always been a serious minded, deep thinking young student. Bus Keller did not know this. Therein lies the cause of the complications. One day during the early part of May, young Patrick was enjoying the peaceful solitude of the boys lunchroom, the fifth hour, and was delving into the refreshing pages of the writings of his favorite philosopher, Ralph Waldo Emerson. In the midst of this heaven, he was rudely interrupted by the brutish Harold Keller, who proposed that Dwyer should cut the sixth hour class with him and Charles Brown. Of course, Keller cannot be blamed entirely in this case for it seems more than probable that it was the jovial, carefree, faculty defiant, Charles Brown who was at the bottom of the dark plot. At any rate, they had asked the youthful Irish angel to cut and this made Pat sore. Stuffing his volume of Emerson’s Essays down Keller’s throat, and plac- ing the wayward Charles in the icecream vat, for safe keeping, he flew up to Mr. Cully’s office where he found the executive scolding Dorothy Bard for drawing pictures in Mr. Thellar’s grade book. The boyish coach stood by with tears in his eyes at having been so cruelly maltreated. “Two of my classmates are contemplating failure to report to their scheduled sixth hour class,” exclaimed the wrathy Pat, “they ostensibly intend to attend the performance of the Cleveland Indians out in the woods, I believe.” “Well, what of it,” roared the principal, “if we had a few more fellows of their calibre, in this knowledge factory, we educators would get a little rest.” Patrick put his number eleven shoe in his right hip pocket and tiptoed out of the office humming “John Brown’s Body Lies A Moaning in the Grave,” while the broken-hearted coach fell asleep after hearing Mr. Cully expell the sanguine Dorothy for three weeks.

[117] Some Adventure Honolulu Hawaii June 5, 1944. Editor of the Annual, Glenvillc High School: Years ago, when 1 went to your school I used to be interested in your magazine, and in some of the hoard; in fact, I used to contribute material, which I thought very good, but the Editor had different ideas on the subject. The enclosed letter, which I am sending after I mail this on the boat that just left, contains some information of five men who graduated from Glenville the same year I did. If you will look up their records, you will see that they always managed to get out of trouble as many times as they got into it; therefore, when 1 read their letter, 1 wasn’t a bit surprised. (The letter printed below came in three weeks after the one above. Ed.) Midland Isles, Pacific Ocean April 1, 1944. Dear Pat: Allan Brooks, John Bailey, Phil Solomon, Charley Frack and I just arrived at these blessed Islands two hours ago, after having been chased away down under Australia by a fleet of Chinese war-ships. About ten years after we graduated from Glenville, Charley Frack wrote me a letter from Dublin, Ireland, telling me that he had worked out a plan of government suitable for Ireland. He said it was a monarchial form, and that, to appease both the English and the Irish, he had arranged to have a Chinaman for the absolute monarch, and a Parliament composed of Lowland Scotsmen and Ulstermen. Charley said that he showed it to Eamon DeValera, and that that gentleman shook, apparently with pleasure, because he handed the constitution back to Chuck, and told him to take it to China, and test it out there. So Charley told me that it was the chance of a lifetime: if we could test out the plan in China, as Eamon told him, then we could bring it back, and apply it to Ireland, thereby creating peace between England and Ireland, and perhaps meriting the Nobel prize! As it was, the thing looked pretty ood to me, and I wrote to Charley to ustle back across the pond; that I would have a couple of dependable men to go with us. When we were thirty days out from Seattle, our little craft came to the surface in the harbor of Hing King, and we all jumped out, tied the sub to the stern of an abandoned junk, and hired a flock of mules to take us to Canton. When we oozed into Canton, Charlie lost his constitution in the rush, and before he could pick it up, and explain his intentions, a sleek mandarin from upper Fe Faw Fum slipped his long nails under the seal, and opened it. He couldn’t read Irish, but he recognized the pictures of a Chinaman, a Scotchman and an Irishman all sitting together at a table, with a shamrock and a rose growing in the same pot, with a poppy held in the Chinaman’s hand, and a crown on his head. The fat heathen let out a screech, and ran down the street yelling “Foreign Devils invade capiral-help-succor-assis-tance!” Poor Chuck wept with rage, but we all flew out of the town, and reached Hong Kong by a series of relays. By the time we tired the sub the government had sixteen battle-cruisers guarding the harbor mouth with st ict instructions to blow us out of the water. We fooled the slant-eyed scamps, though. We slid out under their keels, and although they followed us by an electric sub-detector, we led them a merry chase down to the lower latitudes far below Australia, and finally led them to wreck and ruin on a reef above New Zealand. After that we navigated the sub to these Islands, and had to stay here for a year or so to escape the Chinese warships’ patrol. Well, that’s all there is to it, so adios. Yours, Harold Kkller [118] Our Auction Sale S5� ez The 12A Class of June 1923, was auctioned off at a big; sale last week, because the allotted time for payment had expired. The heaviest buyer was the 12B Class, those who will graduate next January. They gained control of the following articles: The lofty senior position. The aud. for home room. The 12A pep. Class night. Commencement preparations. The far-famed O. D. passes were sold to some optimistic people. A trip to the Steel Mills was sold at a high price to the coming Chem. class—mostly the 12B’s. The signatures of back-stage went to Miss Kelly and also to the 12B class because they were very anxious to put their signatures on the walls too. When the new building came up for auction, all the Sophs seemed overjoyed and they naturally outbid all the other classes and teachers. Out football championship was left safely in the willing hands of Coach Thellar, who seemed very happy to have obtained it. The Annual Play went immediately to the future Barrymores. The trophy case—???—was claimed by the class of June—???—shall we say 1935 or 40. Lost but not forgotten. A brand new library went to the entire school, and all were highly pleased as well as proud of it. The Student Council which, until our class took the proper management of it, was really asleep, went to the office in keeping for next year. The Torch and Reflector went to the new boards. Although new they are not green and we certainly hope that they have much success. When it came to class meetings the best organized classes of course bid the highest and received the offer. With this, the duties of the Class President went to any strong ten men—the stronger the better—one of course with a lot of patience. The last, but not the least article to be auctioned was the boys’ white trousers which went to the white-wings. Several articles, because of the time could not be auctioned, therefore they were left in the hands of the June class of 1923, such were they; Their low marks. Their notices marked H. M. T. Their good looks. Pat’s wise cracks. Their excuses. Their ninth hours.

[ 124] Ambitions Would you guess or did you ever know how many and how great the ambitions of your class mates are? The ambitions range all the way from “growing tall,” “graduating” and “discarding washing dishes” to being famous physicians, engineers, musicians and members of almost any other profession. Our future musicians are Dorothy Egert whose ambition is to “toot” in a band; Lucile Helmkee, whose hope is to be an organist; Stanley Kohn who wants to sing like Mr. Jones; Jeanette Perdan whose hope is to know everything about music while Virginia Smith simply wants to play the piano, harp, violin, cello, flute and saxophone. Lawrence Atlas, Maurice Fineman, Margaret Rowlands, and Sarah Green all want to be physicians, whileWillmott Leighton, Irene McBride and Louise Shultz all confess their greatest ambition is to graduate. The journalistic profession has attracted August Lackamp, Esther Rein, and Jennie Levitt, and the engineering profession has claimed Charles Brown, Alvin Hahn, and Hugh Fairclough, while Ralph Longstreet hopes to be a building contractor. Raymond Johnson’s ambition is to receive a letter in track: David Greenberg’s to become a chemist; Philip De Sico’s to become a professional ball player; Emery Green’s a successful business man; while Luella Krause and Marie Sbcrna hope to become stenographers. Rita Klein and Evelyn Randall want to grow tall; Milton Evenchik, to open a chain of Drug Stores. These are only a few ambitions to give one an idea of the various things in which our class will be represented as time goes on. From all appearances there will he nothing in which the class of June ’23 will not be represented. Our Problems My dear Mr. Maxwell: I am a Senior at Glenville and am exceptionally good-looking. I can dance and am very brainy. But none of the girls pay any attention to me. What would you suggest? Paul Bailey Perhaps you don’t approach them in the right manner. Be less bashful and a little more bold. Dear Sir: I recently directed the Student Council at G. H. S. and am worn out and on the verge of a breakdown from overstudy. Your most honored advice is requested by your humble servant. Charles Frack I should suggest a change of scenery for a couple of years. Meet new people and take your mind off the drudgery of the past four years. Dear Mr. Maxwell: I have always tried to be an athlete but during my high school career, I didn’t succeed in even gaining a letter. Is there any hope for me in college? Ben Friedman Cheer up. You might work up your ability in other lines, because athletics don’t count for everything. Dear Mr. Maxwell: My dramatic ability is conspicuous by its absence, and my ambition is to go on the stage. Could you help me? Ruth Klein You should study under Miss K. W. Kelly of Glenville.

[128] Dedication Having racked our brains to find a suitable and deserving person to dedicate this book of junk to, and having failed to discover any person of even normal state of mind in the school, we regret that we are compelled, as a last resort (not a summer resort) to dedicate our book to our halfwitted superintendent of schools, Watta Flylittle Kidd. Of course, we don91 want to honor the poor old boy, but what are we to do? All the rest of the eligible persons in town are without a cent to reward us. [129] Watta Flylittle Kidd Autobiography of Our Dedicatee ATTA FLYLITTLE KIDD was born in Poverty in 1369. His parents were of Arcadian descent and owned a blacksmith shop on the corner ofNinth and Euclid in Cleveland, Ohio. During his early life he studied little and became a boy of lazy habits. He went to Woof Grammar school and graduated from there at the modest age of 34. He then entered Ohso High School, where he remained for nine years before he marched off the stage with an honorable discharge in his hands. Barber College was his next resting place. Here he studied to be a lawyer but his mother argued him out of that pro- fession. After twelve more years of struggling, he graduated with a grand average of 47.54 per cent and a Front Door Key. His degree was D. S. C. (Dumbest Scholar in College.) Fortified with his splendid educational background, he made his way to Hen-ville Hi in 1789 and was given a class in card shuffling. He remained a member of the faculty until the people of the town decided to get his goat by making him superintendent of schools. They succeeded, and his former three quarter wit became dulled with age. He is now found every day eating dandelions in front of the city hall.

Snubbers Club (Instigator). I 132] Class Mystery I WAS told by the editor to write this so don’t blame it on me. The first thing our class did was to enter the hall in squad formation, back in ’19 and halt in front of the office where Mr. Towne took our names and shoe sizes. We all were assigned classes, and we all cut every class that day—but never again, for we soon found ourselves in the office where we were spanked in turn by each member of the faculty. During our Stopnomore year we gave a play entitled, “Serpentine Rolls In.” Spark Plugger played the part of Strippa Paper, the villain. We gave a party this year, too, in honor of the five D’s received by Ded Pest on one report card. In our Loonyer year we organized and held class meetings every period for the rest of our high school days. We presented the school with a new pinochle deck and gave another party; this time a hard time party. Hardly Bring-ham went against his name this time and brought Dumbelle Silly, and the class all celebrated his mistake for three days. Our class members were by this time becoming quite good at annexing honors and the next fellow to gain recognition to the hall of Fame was Verbold Feller who won the ’22 contest to determine which boy wore the largest number of clean collars within the designated period of three weeks. Then came our Seenyer year and we became dignified (the emphasis on the dig, for we sure did dig in our pockets for money). We gave a trio of parties, held 576 class meetings, decided that the girls should wear green sandals with red dresses and the fellows purple coats and white trousers, and we practiced our graduation song, “Calmly Doze On.” Yes, we graduated, and we didn’t cry either, for school had been getting on our collective nerves for 12 years or so. “Gee Whiz, editor, I can’t pad this story; our class was just about the dopiest bunch that ever packed away diplomas.” I 133] Class Profitsy l 'IND and gentle readers, can you turn back 673 pages of your life and remember when the throbbing city of Henville had the 1923 high school graduation in Nashovsky’s general store? I was forcibly reminded of it when I recently ran into, at different times, the whole graduating class—yessir, all eight of them. To get back to the point, I was travelling in Shanghai, China and I decided to take a jaunt in a rickshaw. I hailed one and much to my surprise Verbold Feller came running up with an old stagecoach under his arm. “Why Oxygen,” 1 said, as I recognized him. “I don’t know,” he replied, so I shut up and asked him if he thought I ought to travel to Australia. He danced with glee and tapped me joyfully on the back saying, “no.” I asked him why and he said, “Because Spark Plugger is living there now and the Shock would kill you, should you see him.” I bit the poor fellow in the left ear and boarded a canal boat toward Sydney. Arriving in that town I found Spark cleaning streets in a natty little white outfit. We had a pleasant talk and “Shock” told me about Hardly Bring-ham, who had just broke jail and was out chasing butterflies in the bushland. Not being surprised at this, I boarded the trolley for Alaska, where who should I see but Melonor Squash (I don’t know which). She was playing a big role in a play called “The Bakery” and I learned that she was selling a patented hair tonic as a side line. Stepping over to Peru, I was amazed to find Slapstick Lyer lying about the town on the park benches while the poor starving Hibernians begged him to leave so that they would have something to eat. It seems as though Slapstick had developed a marvelous appetite and had eaten every bit of food within seven miles. I heard a buzz nearby and saw an aeroplane land on a church steeple four feet to my right. Out of the plane and down the steeple tripped Dumbelle Silly, and I learned that “Ding Dong” was the hard working deck washer of that craft. I rode with her to Cairo, where we accidentally bumped into a pyramid and woke up Ded Pest who had been sleeping there for three years. We routed out old “Speejaeks” and brought him back to life by singing “Moon, moon--------” We then continued to Siberia where we discarded our overcoats and sweltered in the tropical atmosphere. Golly Diehard had a circus in the little town of Sketowelansope and after paying seven Kopecks to gain admission found the show was a fake for the only thing on exhibition was the dead body of Watta Kidd, the former teacher of the class of ’23. That was all and I ran back home to Henville where I meditate on the old life and think of all the paper and ribbon that was wasted on the eight diplomas .given by that noble knowledge foundry in the year of nineteen hundred and twenty-three. [134] Who’s Who His teeth aren’t. He is a bit shy but can make you believe that a cut class does not have to be bandaged. His eyes are. When he walks down the hall with Dumbelle Silly his knees make a noise like the song of the wild ant. He isn’t so good looking but he’ll tell you he is. His favorite saying is, “ Shaskanaskashimporitzkaboobala. ” Under his hat is a mat of rusty hair and his feet need aligning. Who is he? Sure, we knew you’d guess it the first time. Her nose is shiny and her ears are hid. She’s kind of piny, and wears a seven lid. Who?—Gollie Diehard.
