COMMENCEMENT NUMBER THE QUARTERLY MGON PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF 1921 HAMBURG HIGH SCHUOL JUNE, l92I VOLUME I. NUMBER 3 A CEifteh Eeahrr Helen M. Hall, a graduate of Syracuse University, has been for two years a teacher of English in Hamburg High School. ln the short length of time that she has been here she has succeeded in accomplishing for the pupils who have come in contact with her what few others have ever been able to do. Her remarkable personality, which displays itself in her sympathetic nature, her unselfishness, her patience, and her spirit of self-sacrifice, has won for her many friends among the pupils. However, we, the seniors of the high school, should be doubly grateful to her for the sympathetic interest which she has taken in us throughout the past year. To her we owe most of the pleasure we have enjoyed as a class. It was through her untiring efforts that we were able to give The Spell of the Image, a play which not only was so successful as to afford comment for weeks after, but also to swell the senior budget enough to enable us to take that wonderful trip to Washington. Did Miss Hall direct this play for her own benefits? Did she under- take this task with the idea of gain? N03 she did it merely because she wanted to help us. Throughout the year she has been the one true friend to whom we have ever looked for advice and counsel. Our interests have been hers as well. What is more, no work has been too hard for her when she has felt that good could be gained for us. . V And now, since we have enjoyed the fruit of her efforts, we are only able to say that we can never properly estimate the value of her friendship and services. For these are treasuries closed to the eye, but from which are drawn the riches of life-love, esteem, confidence, appreciation and assistance. 4 V giffliss 25121211 Ball Q E i iliarulig FORD R.

There were many new faces to be seen, and, alas! some of the old ones were gone. What a day it was! Everything was new, interesting, exciting. The morning went somehow, but the afternoon saw the beginning of a siege of initiation. CI was glad that the girls were not initiatedj After the strangeness wore off, we soon settled down to our work, and, I am sure, we put in the hardest of our four years' work. Therefore, we felt we had earned a vacation. Snphnmnren September, I9l8, saw us back again, not so near the front of the room. And how we did plague the freshies. Of course, they believed everything we told them. We considered ourselves quite superior, with our second year subjects, 'tho we might have worked harder at them. The most eventful day that fall was Armistice Day. Although it was too early, it was very impressive. Christmas came, then january examinations, and finally June, with its trials, and the compensation of our vacation. Eluninru When we came back to school, September, I9l9, we were outwardly rebellious, but inwardly glad, to get back. This was the first year that our class had been organized. We had by now formed fixed habits of study and recreation. Our members had made records for themselves in class rooms and in athletics. Our average class standings were the highest in school, and we had more honor students than any other class. Some of the best musical talent in school was found among our members, and in athletics we had always done well. ln the spring, we began talking about a Senior trip to Washington. As a result we formed an agreement with Miss Lottie Tillot- son, a Hawaiian lecturer, on a percentage basis. Although the receipts of the lecture were satisfactory, our percentage was not. We resolved to investigate in the future before going into anything. Our class had a picture taken for the year book, and we realized how many of us there were. June came, bringing the first junior Prom ever held in Hamburg High School. After examinations, we enjoyed a pleasant vacation. Sminrn Oh, how important we felt, when we seated ourselves in the rear seats in the study hall. After a few days our seats were arranged according to our number of counts. We made further plans at our first meeting for a Washington trip. The president and all members of the class were in favor of it and have worked hard for its fulfillment. We have sold candy and pencils, and have given a play and a moving picture show. At last, during Easter vacation, we made the trip. May first, to us, meant Senior essays and ' I I articles for the Year Book. We hope that they will be a success, and think that we have deserved success. Last, but not least, we have all been work- ing hard at studies this year. Many of us have been forced to review subjects in order to qualify for a college entrance diploma under the new requirements. We have lived up to our standards, where we have not excelled. And as a final event, we are all looking forward to the Junior Prom. -Beulah Newton, 'Z I. , , w.. ..- Qnggzzr, ' -'W .. xi 'LT 'IE' r - .X I2 Glleum HUP!!! At last four years of work and play Have passed us by and sped away. Now, seniors all, we look and wait, And wonder if we'll graduate. Those horrid regents cause great fear, As they come slowly, surely near: But when they're gone, oh joy, oh bliss! No longer feared and hardly missed. The world is big, the world is greatg lt's paths are rough and hard is fate. With strength of mind and honor bright, We hope to win in life's great fight. In Hamburg High we've learned so much That now we wish to feel and touch The things that fill our thoughts always, Untried, and waiting all these days. Our studies have been quite a strain, But when you have a fine old brain You're sure to Hy along the road And never dream you have a load. But for us others, work and work, On Caesar, history and Burke, And sad it is when, after all, We just skin through and almost fall. When school was dull and needed pep, We often nearly lost our rep! Oh, yes: we're angels quite a bit! But often, too, we show our wit, And cause our teachers to exclaim That such remarks will bring us fame. At times we're stupid, I confess, CI can but make a hurried guess-U Our class this year is quite the best, And I shall say it not in jest. The finest boys and girls around ln twenty-one's fine class are found. We are not wondrous wise as yet, But soon, when trials we have met, We'll show our school what we have done To make our way beneath the sun. I3 Of course, our president you know, And he, l tell you, is not slowg He makes the Hnest speech hy far, Whibh makes us wonder where we are. But when our Von, whom we adore, Begins to laugh and laugh some more, It seems as if he'd never stop, - When he gets going like a top. Now Margaret Bley is very bright, And she, I'm sure, is always right, lf there are questions hard and deep, She's sure to know them, while we weep. Fred Bauer is a light indeedg He works and shines and takes no heed Of worthless things, hut looks ahead, And success he'll have, for so 'tis read. Christina Moritz, so they say, just talks and talks through all the day. She cheers us up and always smiles When days are blue and stretch for miles. Next Elmer Agle must be classed Among the best, with visions vast, That lead him onward to the top Where he will then decide to stop. Now, Evelyn Brocksopp is the kind That you would always like to find, She cooks and sews and studies long, Oh, she's a peach, if l'm not wrong. And Dorothy Kitching needs mention here For she's a worker, never fearg Although quite quiet in her ways, She'll be remembered all her days. And next, two of a kind appear, So quiet always that we fear Perhaps some day they'll forfeit speech And then how could they ever teach? These two you surely now have guessed: They're ina Marsh, so quietly dressed, And Gordon I-lartloff, wondrous wise, Who sees all things with open eyes. Loretta Koch is quite a girl, Her lips in scorn do never curl, She's happy as a day in June, And often gazes at the moon. Arlina Minekime you spy, But rarely hear her speak or cry. She's quiet, too, as you can tell, But we all like her very well. I4 Din'-P-v..,,.- J L IAQ' :I f pg 'fn v,,,i Zi Lil 5 hi' fri-Ligg 'I E, ' --r...'s-i Our class has music, too, you bet! And Earl does catch us in his net: I-le plays and plays and we all stand Around and listen to his band. This Helen Foote is quite a miss, We all would like her for a sisg She's popular as she can be, For she can shake a wicked knee. Now Doris Koelrnel is quite short, But just the same she is a sport: When days are long she never minds, But works along at what she finds. And Ethel Kohl is always gay, Though clouds and troubles bar the way She works so hard that we all think Perhaps at us she'd like to wink. Our little Tony is the one Who gives us all just loads of fun: She laughs and giggles quite a bit, And often, gives us most a fit! Pete Moore is always on the jump, He learns his lessons in a lump: But then that bluffer is so wise, That he would conquer half his size Ruth Zuber, independent one, Just keeps us all upon a rung If she her tests should ever fail, l know you'd hear the whole school wail. That William Withey is a boy Who gives his class just lots of joy, He works so hard and is so busy We wonder why he is not dizzy. Now Beulah Newton is so tall That she stoops low when in the hallg Her marks are always up so high, We fear that they will reach the sky. So Genevieve Woodruff now must learn To slow her steps and watch her tums, For she does walk so very fast We don't know if her feet will last! Then Eleanor Wipperman is inclined To be quite clumsy but refinedg She is a wonder at baseball And hardly ever takes a fall. She is a talker beyond a doubt, But never indulges in a pout, Because she knows that that would be A thing disliked by you and me. I5 While Elinor Williams is in school She loves to play and run and foolg But even so she is not slow, Because she's never filled with woe. Joe Quinn is proud as he can be, And also bright as you will seep He does get bored and wishes fate Would tell him why he is sedate. Now this one is our best athlete, Sheis fast and very light on her feetg She's very tiny but that doesn't matter, For Max is always there with a clatter. john Platt, they say, is very vain, And often when he's in the rain He thinks perhaps he'll spoil his wave, And then he does begin to rave. E This clever Laura Whittemore Should have been mentioned long before She's small and short, but knows a lot For such a wondrous little tot. When Wilbur Minnick starts his fun We come to listen to his pung He makes us laugh and on we go To Hnd what else this boy may know. And last but not least comes Teddy Cox, A boy for whom there are no knocksg He's as mischievous as he can be And fills us all with lots of glee. Of course, this boy is handsome, too, And always up to something new: With wireless telephones he does stunts And gets the messages that he wants. And now 'tis time that we must leave And 'round our future trials weave Success that will not fade away, Because we've learned it every day ln lessons taught at Hamburg High, That we have many things to tryg And we will only win the race When we have learned to set the pace. HAZEL JONES TREF TS l'6 ELMER F. AGLE KID EDEN VALLEY Ag!e carried off the honors at the Alumni Speaking Contest in his junior year, played a dual role in the Senior play, is treasurer of his class, and manages to keep on the honor ro!! of his Alma Mater. The future bids extremely fair for this product of the Garden of Eden. S. FRED BAUER FRITZ EDEN VALLEY Student! Athlete! Musician! Horticulturist! Actor! Oh, yes! Fritz stars in each role, but H. H. S. never realized Fred as its prince charm- ing until he appeared as hero in the Spell of the Image. Since that performance he has been over- whelmed with admirers. MARGARET L. BLEY MAGGIE EDEN VALLEY Margaret is the brightest student of the class, and many is the Senior who has gone to her for aid in his lessons. As secretary of the class she has proven very capable. M. EVELYN BROCKSOPP EBB!E HAMBURG lt is the had roads, she tells us when we inquire why she reaches school at ten plus every day. However, she has shown more than usual brilliancy in physics. Her future vocation is un- decided, but we observe she has a fondness for automobiling. BERNICE M. CONSTANTINE BOBBIE HAMBURG Bernice with her always ready smile and amiable way has won many friends in H. H. S. She distinguished herself in the Prologue of the Senior Play as the heroine, enacting her part with real life. Between her studies and her corre- spondence to New York City, Springville, and numerous other cities in the United States, Bernice seems to be as popular as busy. EDWARD H. COX TED HAMBURG Both as Business Manager of the Year Book and as a Radio Man he has shown great effi- ciency. His big brown eyes win all the girls' hearts. Through three years in H. H. S. Ted reciprocated this affection but as a grave old senior he has concentrated all of his affection on one fair one. ANTOINETTE S. EASTMAN TONY HAMBURG Short, but Oh, my! She's very popular and can giggle along with any of them. She stars in her demonstration Coccurs between 4 and 6 daily at rear of study hall, of an effective au revoirf' We wonder if Hazel is her sole fsoulj partner. HELEN M. FOOTE TONY ARMOR Helen, your earnest, sincere face, Those big brown eyes, the serious lips, That honest poise of simple grace Which at its best is just itself, Has found a place its very own, And ever from that niche looks down To smile, and with that smile atone For all the ills imagined mine. These are the words of Harvey, yet they are truly descriptive of her effect upon one. Her portrayal of Phyllis in the Senior Play Won great popularity for her. GORDON S. HARTLOF F BIG TREE Oh, pensive Hart, devout and pure, Sober, steadfast and demuref' LlZZY Yea, Gordon, thou art all this, and Hamburg proclaims thee a good fellow. DOROTHY KITCHING HAMBURG There is no art to find the mind's construc- tion in the face. The better you know her, the more you like her. Will Dorothy, another of our studious pupils, strive to follow the vocation of h er father? If she does, do not forget, classmates, to patronize her generously. Whose keepeth his mouth and his tongue, Keepeth his soul from trouble. LORETTA KOCH RETTA HAMBURG Here is one of our shortest girls. She is al- ways ready to lend a helping hand to any one who needs it. Whether it be the simple task of para- phrasing Il Penserosou or the stupendous under- taking of brushing her teeth, Loretta is thoroughly thorough. She is bound to succeed. DORIS KOELMEL BOSTON Doris is far from talkative, but we believe this quietness is due to the beauty of the scenery which h ' ' ' s e views every morning on her ride from the distinguished city, Boston. She is dumb, such beauty cloth appal her. WILBUR C. MINNICK BOSTON BILL From the beautiful Boston Valley, Where every prospect pleases, comes this member. He l d h l ing is full of fun, and always ready to en a ep hand. If he survives his motorcycle, his chances are good to accomplish something worth While. EDWIN MOORE TE. HAMBURG PE Pete. the shortest boy, is our industrious candy salesman and assistant advertising manager ' h li ble t e who of the Year Book. He is t e re ia yp can be depended upon in any position. Pete is never seen without a smile on his face, or a Joke for some one. CHRISTINA M. MORITZ CHRlSTlE HAMBURG Who is there t at can y s just an inquisitive, jolly, laughing girl? As d h sa that Christina isn't Belinda in the play, she could not be surpasse , for she is a fine speaker. She won the place as Senior Girls' representative in the Alumni Speak- ing Contest. Christina certainly believes that tho' speech is silver, silence is golden. INA A. MARSH ALEC HAMBURG She has been with us for a short time, having come recently from Canada. No one knew lna ' ' h until she made the trip to Washington. There s e was so impressed with the museums, she decided to start one of her own. She brought home an excellent collection. Still water runs deep. ARLENA IVIINEKIME EDEN CENTER Arlena is one of the quietest girls in the class. She loves ice cream fand somebody?J. Ask Arlena. This Edenette is fond of English, Ameri- can History, and the Erie Railroad. BEULAH T. NEWTON BOOTS HAMBURG ls there a horse that she can't ride, or a problem or study that she can't master? She is another of the studious ones-you see, We have a number of them in the class. Blue-eyed Saxon, proud of her race. Beside our Tony, Boots is a real Jeff. JOHN PLATT JOHNNY HAMBURG Johnny, our hard-worked advertising man- ager of the Quarterly Moon, is very conscien- tious in the performance of his duties. He is a good dancer, and fond of this amusement with the right partner. Hasn't he nice hair, girls? JOSEPH E. QUINN JOE HAMBURG Joe and his pipe are as inseparable as are he and his friend. He has a line physique, is considered independent by some, is a good student and goes out for all athletics. NORMAN J. VON GERICHTEN VON HAMBURG Soft of speech, mellow of heart, piercing of intellect, harsh of self judgment, and loud of hose, is this son of Romance Adventure, Von is the President of our Class and under his leadership the seniors have made a success of the many things they have undertaken. His bulldog tenacity often kept the rest of the class from giving up, especially in the case of the Washington Trip. LAURA VVHITTEMORE HAMBURG Though the smallest of the Seniors, yet one of the brightest, for she did in three years what it took the rest of us four to do. She is interested in literature, and still more in ART. Like her sister, she is full of fun, a good talker, and fine tennis player. MAXINE. WILLETT MAX LAWTONS She is the best athlete among the girls of the class and has found her way into the heart of more than one member of our class. We all think that she ought to make up her mind before the vacation days approach. CU G. EARL VVILLIAMS GRAMP HAMBURG A gentleman and a scholar as well as our most talented student. He is equally proficient in scholarship, music and athletics. He can wiggle his ears individually or collectively and meow like a cat. There are line prospects ahead for Earl. ELEANORE WILLIAMS HAMBURG Until recent fashion decreed a more volum- inous style of hair dress, Eleanore furnished a perfect seven model for the hats of the Wil- liams millinery. This season she has forfeited that position for her present coiffure. It is rumored that she hopes eventually to settle at the New Varnumu as the Elysian Fields could not be more delightful. WILLIAM W. WIT!-IEY --BILL HAMBURG There is no one with knowledge equal to BiII's in the chemistry laboratory. Physically speaking, he moves about, above most of his fellow students, in a higher atmosphere. ELEANOR WIPPERMAN WIP HAMBURG Wip is our vice-president and basketball 'champf She made a very attractive villainess in the senior play, but that does not express her true character, She is fond of foreigners, especially nvvopshn I-IAZEL J. TREFTS HAMBURG Though Hazel deserted us in her Junior year to go to Walnut Hill, We have no grudge against her. On the contrary, she is doubly appreciated this year. She is a most efficient editor of the Quarterly Moon. For a detailed, authentic ac- count of the Worth of our wandering classmate inquire of Edward I-I--, her devoted pursuer. PROPERTY OF' HAMBURG HISTORICAL SOCIETY GENEVIEVE WOODRUFF HAMBURG Swish! X! Zip!?! Crash! Bang! and she is with us! No, gone! Genevieve's mania is fast! faster! fastest! Her picture suggests a thoughtful trenc! of minc!! We hope that meditation wi!! persuade her to s!acken her pace !est her life work be accomplished too soon. RUTH ZUBER HAMBURG A laugh is worth a thousand groans in any market. Ruth Zuber is the lightweight of the class. She is the most consistent student among the girls. Miss Zuher c!oes not indulge in athletics, but is very diligent in her pursuit of knowledge. She is We!! known in her literary work. mhxfa mlm in Ihr Ciflsum nf '21 FRED BAUER EARL WILLIAMS EDWARD COX GORDON HARTLOF F EDWARD COX EDWIN MOORE GORDON HARTLOFF EDWIN MOORE EARL WILLIAMS EDWARD COX WILLIAM WITHEY EDWIN MOORE WILLIAM WITHEY JOHN PLATT EARL WILLIAMS WILBUR MINNICK NORMAN VON - GERICHTEN EDWIN MOORE NORMAN VON GERICHTEN ELMER AGLE JOE QUINN JOHN PLATT ELMER AGLE EDWARD COX GORDON HARTLOFF EDWIN MOORE EDWIN MOORE WILLIAM WITHEY EDWARD COX ELMER AGLE 6 BEST ATHLETE BEST DANCER BEST ARTIST BEST POET BEST DRESSER MOST TALKATIVE QUIETEST ,IOLLIEST BRIGHTEST HANDSOMEST TALLEST SHORTEST CLUMSIEST PROUDEST WORST GADDER WORST SPEN DTHRIF T WORST GIGGLER WORST PEST MOST POPULAR MOST STUDIOUS MOST INDEPENDENT MOST VAIN MOST GRACEFUL MOST DARING MOST BASHFUL MOST MISCHIEVOUS BIGGEST BLUFFER BIGGEST BOOKWORM BIGGEST LETTER- WRITER FASTEST WALKER I 7 MAXINE WILLETT HELEN FOOTE HAZEL TREFTS RUTH ZUBER HAZEL TREFTS CHRISTINA MORITZ INA MARSH ANTOINETTE EASTMAN MARGARET BLEY HELEN FOOTE BEULAH NEWTON ANTOINETTE EASTMAN ELEANOR WIPPERMAN LAURA WHITTEMORE HELEN FOOTE EVELYN BROCKSOPP ANTOINETTE EASTMAN CHRISTINA MORITZ HELEN FOOTE RUTH ZUBER GENEVIEVE WOODRUF F ELEANOR WILLIAMS BERNICE CONSTANTINE ELEANOR WIPPERMAN DORIS KOELMEL ANTOINETTE EASTMAN EVELYN BROCKSOPP BEULAH NEWTON HAZEL TREFTS GENEVIEVE WOODRUF F Zluninr Gllanu iiiztnrg J The class of I922 is the largest Junior class there has been for the past few years. In athletics, it is the Juniors who have made possible a successful basket- ball record for both the boys' and girls' teams, and it is the Juniors who have led our colors to victory in baseball. The Juniors have the best musical and dramatic talent that can be found in the school. There has not been one Friday Moming Assembly during the entire year in which some Junior or Juniors have not taken part. Of the four verses of the school song the third verse applies best to the Juniors: Our teams are always ready to do their level best, To win a place for Hamburg, with teams both East and Westg In basketball or tennis we play the game aright, And ever wave above us the purple and the white. -Mary E.

ROBERT UEBLACKER The Sophomore Class possesses excellent material which it has con- tributed to the gridiron, diamond, court and class room. This is not all that the class has accomplished. Whenever it has been called upon to render assistance in school affairs it has clone its best. As we bring the Sophomore year to a close we look back with regret upon the happy months just past never to retum. ln the years to come we hope to give the best material and the best co-operation that are in us to our Alma Mater.

His vote was one thousand and fifty. I-lelen Foote, who, according to the Seniors, is the prettiest girl in their class, was a close second. Fosdick's victory was made possible by Mose Crocker, who held up a number of ballots until the last mornent. However, the Seniors feel that they have won honors enough and are perfectly willing that the Juniors should have some incentive to encourageIthem for the trouble they will encounter next year.

E4 95: v ' 4 ,- -K 'ffkimfimf' 'DH f' -1 -hs V Qllaan Hrnphvrg On the twentieth day of May, in the year nineteen hundred and thirty- six, I was drifting along over the thickest part of the African jungle, when the motor of my plane began to miss and I was forced to make a rather hurried landing on the tranquil surface of a small lake which, fortunately, was near at hand. I had made the necessary repairs and was about to go on my way when I heard voices a short distance below me on the shore of the lake. As I was not in a hurry I decided to see who was in that out of the way place. So breaking my way through the heavy underbrush I came into a small clearing where a bronzed young man, with the aid of a group of natives, was erecting a tent. When he saw me he advanced and I found myself face to face with Pete Moore who, as he had been living as a missionary two hundred miles from civilization, wished to know what was going on back home. As I had been in the Cape to Cairo Air Line Service for ten years I was not able to answer his questions. However, I soon learned that he, like myself, was on his way home to attend the class reunion planned so many years before. I asked him to accompany me in my plane, but as Pete was never much of a high flyer he decided to return on the surface. When we finally parted, I was following my course to the northward, when I saw before me stretching from shore to shore of the great river, which I had been following for some time, a huge dam under construction. It was by far the most wonderful structure I had ever seen. I decided to pay a visit to the workmen who were building it. When I had climbed to the top of the dam, I came upon two men busily engaged in studying a blue- print. On hearing my approach they turned and I immediately recognized them as John Platt and Bill Minnick. When they finally gave me a chance to ask questions I learned that Johnny was the engineer in charge of the construction and Bill was to install the huge turbines which were to generate the electricity. As they wished to finish their work in order to go home for the reunion I did not take up much of their valuable time, but left them after we had lunched together. Three days later I was walking along the wharves in Alexandria, when I caught sight of a large passenger ship coming into the harbor, flying the American Hag. I became interested and waited until it came to a stop beside the coaling barge when a gang-plank was let down and several pas- sengers came ashore. One of these passengers, a quiet, dignified lady, seemed familiar to me, and on watching her closely I recognized her as Margaret Bley. She also was returning home from India, where she had been for many years, teaching the I-Iindoos. Arriving in Rome two days later, I went to visit the ruins of the Coliseum and while there met a party of tourists. Accompanying them was a well-known Professor of Archaeology, whom I soon knew to be my old schoolmate, Ina Marsh. She was returning from the Holy Land, where she had been gathering material for her latest book, entitled Great Wonders of the World. After I had visited all the notable places in Rome I set out for Paris. Arriving at the Trans-Atlantic Aerodome late the following afternoon and being very tired, I registered at a nearby hotel, deciding to wait until next morning before seeing the city. When morning came I strolled down the main avenue trying to read some of the signs I saw in the window. I was engaged in this useful occupation when I caught sight of a tall, elegantly 22 dressed lady removing a number of hats from the window of a millinery store. One of the hats slipped from its resting place and in stooping to retrieve it she caught sight of me Crecognizing me as quickly as I did her, and beckoned me to come in while she called a lady who was working in another room. After a few minutes' conversation I possessed the knowledge that Helen Foote and Evelyn Brocksopp had, eight years before, founded a select emporium for ladies hats and gowns and that they had become the designers of garments a la mode, but they had now sold their emporium and were going back to Hamburg. When I had at last left them to finish packing their baggage, I went back to the aerodome and there learned that the captain, an intimate friend, in command of the field, wished me to take a message to Washington, which could not be sent by wireless because of the need of absolute secrecy. iAs I had three whole weeks in which to complete my journey, I promised to deliver the message. So when my plane had been overhauled I set out for good old U. S. A.-and Washington. When I arrived there I delivered the message and then went to Arlington to send a radiogram informing headquarters in Paris that their message had been safely delivered to the proper authorities. When I arrived at the radio station I stated my business to one of the assistants, who said it would be necessary for me to interview the chief operator, but that I should have to wait as he was sending an important message. ' He ushered me into a large room full of wireless apparatus, where a man was bending over a sputtering instrument. He finally finished his work and turned to me with the smile I remembered so well. Teddy Cox, of course! I grasped his hand and asked him what message could be so important that he must not be interrupted to greet an old friend. I-le said he was sending a song com- posed by Hazel Trefts Cox to Earl Williams, leader of the world famous Williams Orchestra and Professor in the College of Music and Arts in New York. The song was to be played by Professor Williams' Orchestra at the Metropolitan Opera House that evening Accepting his invitation to lunch, I discovered that Mrs. Cox was as good a cook as a composer. After lunch Teddy's assistant brought a mes- sage, received for a certain Congressman and as Teddy was very busy pre- paring fer the trip to Hamburg, I offered to deliver the message which it was necessary to keep secret. Vifhen I had performed my legation I obtained permission to listen to the debate taking place in the House and entering the visitors, gallery listened to a fiery speech delivered in favor of Daylight Saving by the Hrst lady Speaker who had ever presided over the House. Asking her name I learned that she was Christina Moritz, the first classmate I had failed to recognize. Buffalo looked good to me when I landed there a week later. Since I was in need of finances, I went to the Financial Trust Bank, the largest in the State, to get a draft on the Citizens' Bank of Cairo, where I had left the largest part of my rather small fortune. I was told by the Cashier that I should have to see the President, and pointing out his office, he told me to step right in and ask for Mr. Bauer. The name meant nothing to me until, upon stepping into the office, I saw Fred Bauer talking to a tall, business- like lady while watching the rapid movements of an individual whom I took to be his stenographer. All three looked up at my entrance and Fred at once recognized me, shook hands, then introduced me to the stenographer, Mrs. Fred Bauer nee Max Willett and to Eleanor Wiipperman, Queen of Finance, controller of Buffalo Wall Street, for Buffalo had grown to be the second largest business center of the United States. During the 23 . conversation which followed I learned that Von was still in Hamburg and that he was now in the hospital as a result of an explosion in his magnificent garage which was located on the site of the Hotel Huson. The explosion had occurred as the result of an experiment with a solution forrnulatedas a substitute for gasoline, and conducted by Billy Withey, well known chemist, who as usual escaped scott free, while Von and his beautiful five-passenger Oakland were both badly damaged. Being at last forced to leave my friends at the bank, I set out to visit Von. I Hamburg had been a village of four thousand inhabitants at the time I left it. When I came back it was a city with fifty thousand. I found Von in Hamburg's Emergency Hospital, a large white structure on the corner of Pine and Union, surrounded by ladies as usual. fVon, not the hospital., It was his last day as an invalid, and the nurses, Laura Whittemore and Dorothy Kitching, were making the best of their last opportunity, each seeking to win his favor. But as Von had never been a friend of Cupid, neither of them was succeeding. The twenty-third of June, the big day, dawned bright and clear. A few hours later found me on my way to the old school which I found to be just as it had been when I left it many years before. On entering I found that the basketball court had been prepared for the occasion and that many of my old classmates were already there. X When all 'were present we began to tell our adventures, with the help of our friends, for none of us were egotists. In the end I had learned the fortunes of all. Ruth Zuber and Loretta Koch had purchased the Post and n-ow owned a fine new office, built on the site of the old one, which had become too small as their business increased. They had taken Gene- vieve Woodmff into their partnership, and she had become a very suc- cessful society editor for the paper, which was now issued daily and had by far the largest circulation of any in the city. Elinor Williams was teach- ing in school as successor to Miss Helen Hall, who had married a multi- millionaire and now lived in a mansion near the park. Doris Koernel was supporting her husband by means of a large fortune acquired through the operation of Harnburg's finest hotel, originally Kopp's Inn. I was stay- ing at this hotel and was well pleased with the accommodations, especially the desserts on the menu, chief of which was pineapple preserve. Arlena Minekime had studied law, and now had an office on the second floor of Hamburg's Flatiron building fnot the old laundry building, and had chosen as her specialty divorce cases, but had as yet had none of her old class- mates as clients. Elmer Agle and Antoinette Eastman had finally married. As both were very bashful no one knew which of them had proposed. They were now living on their two hundred acre truck farm near Eden and proving the value of farming scientifically. Beulah Newton had married a wealthy politician who had fallen in love with her at first sight. How- ever, she had an independent fortune which she had made through the sale of a twelve volume history of Hamburg, written by herself. Bernice Constantine was the most popular movie star of the time and as yet was unmarried, though she had been proposed to so many times that she had printed on her calling cards, Matrimony no object. Joe Quinn was the last of my old classmates to be heard from, and he was known throughout the sporting world as a worthy successor to Babe Ruth. He had smashed all batting records and as a pitcher fanned them all. Midnight arrived and found us with a great number of our adventures untold, the following midnight also found us with much to tell and so it 24 went on until the reunion planned for one day had lasted a whole week. At the end of that time duty called us, but before answering its urgent cries for our talent we laid our plans for another reunion to take place five years later. GORDON -HARTLOFF. Dearest Hazel: The great, love l express for you is false, and l find my indifference towards you increases daily. The more l see of you the more you appear in my eyes an object of contempt. l feel myself in every way disposed and determined to hate you. l can assure you that I never intended to love you. Our last conversation has left an impression on my mind which by no means impressed me of the extremely high standard of your character. Your temper would make me entirely too unhappy, and if you and l were united, I would expect nothing but hatred of my friends, added to their everlasting dis- pleasure at living with you. l have, indeed, a heart to bestow, but l do not desire you to engage it in your service. l could not give it to anyone more inconsistent and capricious than yourself, and be capable of doing justice to myself and my family. l think you are aware of the fact that I speak sincerely, and you will do me the favor of avoiding me. You need not trouble yourself about answering this letter, as your letters are always full of impertinences, and have not a shadow of wit, or of good sense. Believe me. l am so averse to you that it is impossible for me to be Your affectionate sweetheart, Ted. P. S. l suppose you were inquisitive and read all of this correspondence, and I intended you to read only every other line. .Now please begin at the beginning and read it this way. 25 PROPIQHSY P HAMBURG H1 Siem T7 JU .-.f aw lirenihrntkr Ahhrrnn Mr. Park and Friends: Tonight marks a memorable occasion in our lives. Memorable because it is the culmination of four years of effort together. Four years in which we have stood shoulder to shoulder, meeting and overcoming the same ob- stacles, striving always for a common goal. We have reached that goal. lt means the severance of ties that in some cases have grown very near and dear to us. But enough of the past! We have few regrets at leaving our school days, happy though they were. The time has come to put our efforts into the battle of life. Progress is the law of the universe, and we would not have it otherwise. Someone has said that if a person lived for a thousand years, acquired in that time the sum total of human knowledge, and died opening another book, his value to the world would be absolutely zero. A man is valuable to civilization, not by the knowledge he may possess, but by the use he makes of that knowledge. Our motto-service-has not been a dead letter with us. We have re- sisted continually the call of the world-and the call has been strong and clear in the last few years, with the lure of high wages, in the belief that eventually our services would be much greater as a result of the few short years in Hamburg High School. But our time has come at last. The opportunities for service are greater today, perhaps, than at any other time in history. A war-torn and war-weary world awaits us and our efforts, holding forth promises hitherto unequalled. It is an age of construction, of reconstruction. lnto this era we come with the greatest asset it is possible to possess. An asset for which thousands of 'people of wealth, of position and of influence, would give all they own. l mean our youth! To possess youth in an age like the present is a privilege we, perhaps, do not yet fully appreciate. We are enabled to grow up, to put our time and effort into a constantly advancing, constantly improving world, a privilege which millions yet unborn will envy us in the years to come. We must carry on, not only for ourselves, but for the countless thousands of splendid young men who gave their lives that civilization might endure. We stand tonight on the threshold of a new and unfamiliar world. At this time there come to our minds two questions which foreshadow our entire future, questions which we must all face and answer if we wish to battle with the world, and it is upon their answer that our future success and happiness depend. They are: Whom shall I serve? and What shall l do? Whom shall l serve? We cannot serve two masters, yet we must serve one. Shall we judge service by its value to us, or to the world? l fear that this is our greatest danger. We must not allow self to become the incentive, the predominating influence on the work we do. We must not allow the desire for power, the lust for riches to become the sole aim in our lives. Power and wealth cannot bring happiness, nor can our services be measured by their possession. Each and every one of us has in his consciousness the ideal of some great accomplishment. It is the vision of his one supreme ideal, the sum of his desire. Time may dwarf, or warp this ideal, or faith may carry it to a glorious reality. But may we never forget that the greatest satisfaction, and surest reward, are gained through service to our fellowmen. What shall l do? This is the first question that comes to our mind as we face the future. We all have some work to do, some place to H11 in the 26 world of service. It is only by crystallizing our ambitions, our desires, and our abilities into some definite goal that we will be able to give our best service. By putting a strong, clear purpose into our lives, by keeping our eye upon the goal as we struggle forward, is the only way we can give the world our supreme effort, and the only way we can reap the material reward of our service. We may fall by the wayside as we fight onward, but that is no disgrace. The disgrace is to lie whining while the others pass by. We may fail to achieve our ultimate aim, but better by far to fail than not to try at all! The task before us is not a light one, or an easy one. The world is coming out of the darkness of four years of warfare and bloodshed into the bright light of a new day. lVlay that day be just a little brighter as a result of our efforts! We face the future with a confidence inspired by four suc- cessful years at Hamburg High School. Those years are over. It is my privilege to welcome you here tonight, on behalf of the class of '21, to witness the exercises that mark their termination. Men and women of 1921, we have struggled together to reach this goal. My last words are for you. The World, with its trials and temptations, its joys and sorrows, its victories and defeats, but its ultimate reward for true service, is just before you. Carry on! -Norman von Gerichten. I 27 Smlniatnrg Friends and Classmates: ls not ther occasion which we are commemorating one of rejoicing and satisfaction? It may seem sad that we are met as a class for the last time, but in our hearts will remain forever the pleasant memories of our life in Hamburg High School. It is true, we should rejoice at the completion of our work here. However, let us spend a moment in sober thought. In a different sense, we have just started our life work, and we have started successfully. There is one essential to success of which we must not lose sight. That is co-operation. A team whose members did not work together never won games consistently. Failure is certain for the business firm whose members do not co-operate. Inasmuch as we have acquired the spirit of co-operation, we have a big ally on our side in the battle of life. l repeat, that we have begun successfully. There are four reasons why we should continue and end successfully. First, we owe our parents an inestimable debt, for they have made possible for us, a great opportunity in the greatest period the world has experienced. It has been mainly through their ceaseless efforts and unfailing guidance that we have been privileged to obtain the advantages which even our small store of knowledge affords. Second, there are our older and wiser friends who have aided us immeas- urably with counsel and advice: who have with equal frequence inspired us with enthusiasm and energy. I am sure that each of you, classmates, has a few older friends whom you could consider in this number. We can recompense them in one way-by proving to them that their faith in us has not been misplaced: by fighting on against any odds to make ourselves worthy of their affections. Third, we owe it to ourselves to make some- thing worth while of ourselves, not for selfish gain or advantage, but to be able to serve mankind in general. What the world needs today perhaps more than anything else is-service. One of the greatest lessons of the recent war was the teaching of the spirit of co-operation and service, for without these two essentials the results would undoubtedly have been different. Last, let us not forget the debt we owe to Him who has made possible all these blessings and opportunities. May we live worthy and consistent livesg may we follow His teachings and advice that we may fight a good fight in the battle of life. G. EARL WILLIAMS. 28 Halrhirinrg Members of the Board of Trustees, Members of the Faculty, Friends: When the class of nineteen hundred twenty-one entered high school four years ago, it was much larger than it now is but each year some, for various reasons, have left us. We, who remained, feel that because we have spent these four years in Hamburg High School, we are all better fitted for the problems that are before us. Educational investigators tell us that a person with no schooling has but one chance in l50,000 of performing distinguished serviceg the individual with an elementary schooling has four chances in l50,000g the high school graduate has eighty-seven chances and a college education increases the chance ofperforming distinguished service to 800 out of 'I50,000. Does an education pay? It is not the distinction we hope to attain, but we aspire to be of some service to the world. Why do the members of the Board of Trustees direct the maintenance of the school? Why do members of the faculty' arrive early and remain hours after school to help pupils with their lessons? Why have our parents in many ways sacrificed that we may further our education? l believe that each one has forgotten self in his effort to serve. We deeply appreciate all that you have done for us and extend to you our most hearty thanks. May success always attend you and our Alma Mater. Our class has chosen for its motto, Service We are privileged to live in an age when oppor- tunities for service present themselves on every hand. We hope that we shall so avail ourselves of opportunities for useful service that our lives shall in a measure remunerate you for your efforts in our behalf. Fellow Classmates: Now I am talking to you. You are strong in body and your minds are not weak. lf you do not make this world a bit better, if you do not realize the joy of living, the chances are ten to one that but one person will be to blame, and that person is yourself. To make the most of life, one must be efficient. Dr. Frank Crane says: Most preachers cannot preach. Most singers cannot sing. Most actors are mediocre. Most books are a waste of time. Most houses are not fit to live in. Most cooks cannot cook. Most clerks do not earn even the small salary they get. This is a shameful truth. We must leam to do something well. The world needs efficiency. In addition to the danger of inefficiency, our real achievement is threat- ened by the fear of failure. We must expect failures. Every man fails. Nothing great was ever accomplished without some failure. Then, let us learn to do some one thing well and let us have faith in ourselves, with courage to expect misfortune but to be spurred on rather than to be disheartened by it. Friends: The time has come for us as a class to say adieu. Again, I extend to you our sincere thanks for your efforts in our behalf and bid you an affec- tionate farewell. MARGARET L. BLEY. 29 Uhr Qmxartvrlg ilillnnn Last fall we received a notice from Lafayette High School that there would be a meeting there to discuss school magazines and publications. Rep- resentatives from several schools were asked to attend, among them Hamburg. At a meeting in our school of all students interested in journalistic work, four students, two boys and two girls, were chosen from the Senior Class to go to the meeting. As a result, a new enterprise was started in Hamburg High School. It was decided to publish a magazine four times a year, in October, December, March and June. By popular vote the name The Quarterly Moon was adopted. A staff was chosen and the first issue was under way. It was published just before Christmas and was a great success. The second issue was to appear at Easter, but because of unavoidable delays, did not come out until the first of April. It was as great a success as the first, partly because of the popularity contest. Each magazine con- tained a coupon counting ten votes. A moving picture show was held at the High School for the benefit of The Quarterly Moon. The proceeds were used to pay the cost of printing of the previous issue. This, the last issue for this year, is being managed by the Senior Class. May it be as successful as the others for the glory of the Seniors and Hamburg High. -Beulah Newton.

Second, the lot next to the school recently purchased by the Board of Education has been cleared and graded. Vfith this addition to the campus there is plenty of room for the baseball and football teams to play on the school grounds. Also there will 'be several new tennis courts erected. Lastly, a tumbling team was organized by Mr. Howe. The fellows showed a great deal of skill in this line and created much interest among the students. I of GQ, 1 ., X gl UL, GE r w. V ' 32 .

' fi f-w.'1 ik LM' X .Tiinnthull The football season of i920 was a very successful one for Hamburg High School. The team, under the guidance of Mr. Howe, physical director, showed the people of Hamburg that it could play football. Although the players on the whole were much lighter than their opponents, they were still able to hold their line of defence against the attack of the enemy. When the ball was in their possession they were sure to crawl through somewhere for a long gain. They never gave up, but stuck to the ball like a puppy to a root. Every member played his position well. Special credit is due Francis Shoemaker, captain and quarterback of the team. Although small in size, he was able to lead the team to success through his knowledge of the game and cleverness in foresight. Football is generally considered as a rather rough game, but seldom is there any one badly hurt. However, there was one serious accident this year. James Weller, halfback, had his shoulder broken in the first game and was unable to play the rest of the season.

This year's quintette played a creditable game on the court and won a majority of the games played. The team showed the same speed in basketball as in football. ln fact, most of the men played on the football team. Each fellow played for all that was in him untillthe final whistle blew. With all this pep which the team displayed they werl: able to give their opponents a run for their money. One of the big featlires of the season was the final game with Springville, I-Iamburg's bitterest rival for many years. Each team had won one game, so a third was played oh February 25 to decide the contest. It proved to be one of the fastest games of the season. ln the last minute of play the home team made four points which gave the game to Hamburg. The final score was I7 to 16. l The line-up of the lteam of 1920-21: Sprissler, center, Faulring, left forwardg Fleischman, right forwardg Pierce, right guard: Smith fcaptainj, left guard: Momberger, forwardg Quinn, guard: Shoemaker, forward: Dem- merley, managerg Mr. Howe, coach. l The games played dining the season of i920-Zl i Hamburg I7-Springville Hamburg 32-Masten Park ,Irs Hamburg 53-Orchard Park Hamburg I9-Springville Hamburg 48-Depew Hamburg 55-Depew Hamburg 33-Blasdell I-lamtiurg 27-East Aurora Hamlziurg 24-Kenmore I-lamtiurg 26--Batavia Hambbrg I6-Canisius Hambiirg I3-Jamestown l l i l i i l l l l l 34 Q i l TVDIHOLSIH SHHHWVH ALHIOOS JO KLHEdOHd Euan Ball It could easily be seen at the first practice that Hamburg High School would have a winning nine.

The laurels for Westem New York rest between the local players and Warsaw, with whom it has been impossible to arrange a game. The team, coached by Miss Roach, was picked early in the year, making it possible to play fifteen games, out of which twelve were won by Hamburg. The girls exhibited sportsmanship, loyalty, team work and swiftness, all of which are very essential in making a square team. At practice, held every Tuesday and Thursday nights, there was always fun accompanying the hard and patient playing. After the basketball season the girls came out for baseball. There were many aches and bruises after that first practice, but what fun it was! A regular team playing scheduled games will not be organized this year, but, by another season, Hamburg will be proud of her girls' baseball team, as well as her basketball squad.

Electrician, Lucius Maltbie. 38 ........--.- W i Phyllis Castleman on the evehing of her betrothal to Lord Burleigh, E l' h r heeded the whispered word of her former lover, Rupert an ng is pee , , Huntley, and escaping her guests, gave him audience. He taunted her with her faithlessness, and she confessed that desire for riches had influenced her -that she was through with love. The prophecy of a passing gypsy mad- dened Phyllis, the mocking eyes of an image cast their spell upon her: she tore the long string of pearls, Lord Burleigh's gift, from her neck and offered them to the image as a tribute, touching a hidden spring, and hiding her treasure within its body till a strange hand should find them. More than a century passed. Generation after generation of Castle- man's lived in the old home, and kept alive its traditions. Finally two cl u hters of the house, Phyllis and Katherine Aldrich, found themselves 3 g with little but family glory to live upon, and to the dismay of an aristocratic . . . f d aunt, decided to make their own way. Phyllis was a young woman o mo ern tendencies, as was her friend, Carolyn Alexander, and she rejected the love of lVlacDonald Dunbar, a wealthy young man, because he led an aimless life. Goaded by her disappointment in him, MacDonald assumed control of one of his properties-a newspaper-upon which Phyllis worked as a reporter. From the first, the paper opposed Henry Carter, the city's most influential citizen. Loss of advertising and of public favor followed this stand. Delay of shipments and frequent accidents to the machinery due to the fact that Fredericka Farr, a member of the staff, was in reality working for Carter and keeping him in touch with Clarion affairs, resulted in catas- trophe for lVfacDonaldg and as a final blow came the loss of his fortune. Carter attempted to buy the Clarion, but was repulsed, and in a conversa- tion between him and Fredericka fwhich Kitty Aldrich overheard, the secret of his assumed name was revealed, and the disclosure of a certain Donovan case was threatened. Kitty had met, very romantically, a young lrishman who was hunting a man who had disgraced his father years beforeg she promptly connected the two events, and summoned the Irishman, Ter- C t roved the guilty party, and though Terrence rence Donovan. ar er was p forgave him, he was forced to meet the Clarion's demands' Belinda a clumsy maid of the Castleman family, upset the image, in tciuched the hidden spring and the pearls were found. Phyllis some way . sold them, and with the proceeds bought a half interest in the Clarion She was aided in this by John Harlan, lawyer, and friend of Dunbar. With b h h d vowed never again to speak of love she a new love for Dun ar, W o a , turned the tables by asking him to marry her: and still remained true to her ideas of economic independence by retaining part ownership of the paper, and sharing the cost of a wedding ring. The romantic love jtolry Terrence and Kitty, the affair between John and Carolyn, forme t e of sub-plots of the play. 39 GD111' Gbrrhvnira t n Altho the school orchestra lost several valuable members in June, l920, it was sufhciently augmented in September to insure a maintenance of the reputation it had made for itself in Hamburg. Earl Williams rattled the ivories with the best of them. Evelyn Tooley, Frank Howder, Howard McFadden and Theodore Viehe coaxed sounds from their violins that added much to the harmony of the selections. Fred Bauer performed with becoming modesty on the cornet, and was heard every time the orchestra appeared, although sometimes he bashfully hid behind the piano. Harry Crocker and George Pierce produced weird n t f h o es rom t e saxaphones, which, if not heavenly, were at least unearthly. Edward Cox Ed d S . d . . . . war press an Edgar Smith tortured their banjos in a way that caused h . t e poor instruments to protest in tones that their makers never knew they contained. With this personnel the orchestra finished a highly successful season, and seriously speaking, the members deserve credit for their efforts which contributed so much to our enjoyment at chapel, social hour and on other occasions. M 'tr - C5122 Glluh The Hamburg High School Glee Club, under the direction of Miss Ruby Hall, has achieved great success during the past year. A musical comedy, The Eleventh Hour, given by the girls of the chorus, fumished the chief attraction at the School Red Cross Bazaar. This operetta, under the direction of the Misses Hall, was tremendously enjoyed by all who attended. The participants of the minstrel show: Ted Cox, Mase Crocker, Ted Holmlund and Handy Hancock were vastl 1 1 y successful in bringing down the house. The characters were: Betty fthe hostessl, Evelyn jordan, Nancy, Elaine and Violet fcollege chums, guests of Bettyj, Hazel Trefts, Ruth Cressman and Evelyn Taylorg Jack, Beverly Hancock: Ned, Harry Crookerg Dick fsheriffl, Theodore Holmlundg Jim, Edward Cox: Bridget fthe cook who ha c perones Bettyj, Leah Habererg Marie, the maid, Elizabeth Blackingg Miss Mary Ogden CBetty's auntj, Lillian Dominski. The chorus was composed of Bernice Bley, Ruth Burandt, Beatrice Con- stantine, Ella Critoph, Coral Davis, Helen Davis, Lillian Dominski Arlena Mlnekime, Christina Moritz, Dorothy Potter, Lois Riefler, Arline wishing, Ruth Zuber. The operetta as a whole was most attractive and won the enthusiastic approval of its audience. This season's success has insured for the Glee Club a permanent place among Hamburg High School activities. -Ruth Zuber, '2l. 40 Alumni igrize Smraking Glnntwi Hiivthnhiut Glhurrh Mag EU, 1521 MUSIC Sonny's Christenin' .....

Bley. V The Seniors then took charge and went through the ceremony of planting a class tree. The tree, presented by Mr. Bley, was a white oak, which the pupils had previously selected as being most appropriate for a national tree. It was dedicated to the memory of the Hamburg High School boys who lost their lives in the World War. Snninrn' Ernie Beiliratinn Mr. Park, Teachers and Fellow Students: One of the things that the celebration of this day does that, in my opinion, is worth the effort alone, is to bring us a little closer to Nature. Our life today is too complex, too artificial, and anything which brings us a little closer to God's world, and God's handiwork, is well worth while. We work, we play, in fact we spend nearly our entire lives in a man-made, hence artificial 'world. The great mass of the city people today know little or nothing of the great world of Nature, which, after all is the real world. A story is told of a young woman who considered herself quite a natural- ist. She was talking one day with a noted traveler and confided to him her love for the woods and the out-of-doors. When she had told of her wood- land walks, the traveler said: Ah, my dear young lady, you should walk through the beautiful pine forests of Norway. I-le then described at some length the dim, religious light, the cathedral-like silence and the thick carpet of pine needles, soft as velvet under the foot. The young lady listened at- tentively, and when he had finished, exclaimed rapturiously: Oh! I should love that, for I just adore pineapple! This, l fear, is somewhat typical of many American city dwellers of today. They are familiar with the products of man's skill, and ingenuity, but densely ignorant of the works of Nature. This is a condition which should not exist. The ability to find tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, sermons in stones and good in every- thing is possessed by all too few. But today is dedicated in particular to the tree. America has in the past, as you know, given too much thought to the cutting clown of trees, and all too little to the planting of them. The result you know as well as I. The setting aside of one day in the year to encourage the planting of trees, is a great step in the right direction, and shows that we are at least coming into a realization of the danger of squandering our natural resources, without pro- viding for their replenishment. . Recently much has been written and spoken about memorial trees, to be planted in memory of our soldier dead. Today we inaugurate this plan in Hamburg, and dedicate this tree to the memory of four former Ham'- burg High School boys who died that the nation might live. They were: Nathan W. Foote, Herbert T. Shero, Edgar N. Salisbury and Alfred H. Stokes. This impresses me as a very fitting and beautiful tribute. Who could ask a better memorial? A granite shaft, a marble monument may 42 awe us, impress us, but we cannot love it. It is a product of man's handicraft, and the symbol of death. But a tree! A tree is a product of God's handi- craft, and the symbol of life and of service. Besides, is there not something prophetic, something symbolic in the Way a tree spreads its branches into space, groping, searching, as man gropes and searches through the spaces about him seeking, forever seeking, light? Thertree we are planting today is particularly appropriate. The ancients worshipped it, we still admire it. The oak has been for all time the emblem of strength and sturdiness, so what emblem is more fitting for Hamburg High School, and the class of 'Zi 9 During the course of its life, it will encounter storms and tempests, but no worse, perhaps, than we will face in the battle of life. As the oak has roots deep into the soil to hold it firm through the tempests, so may we have character, deep in our hearts, to hold us firm against the buffetings of life. May our devotion to right have all the rugged strength of the oak. -Norman von Gerichten. UBII1' Srninr Grip After having worked diligently during the year and after having painted the capitol in many rosy hues, our chests swelled out and our shoulders straightened ,when we became certain that our trip to Washington was to be a reality. Good Friday found us in Buffalo fwhere we had arrived 'isafe and sound , ready to take our train to the land of our dreams. N We left this city at eight-thirty o'clock. The beautiful scenery along the route was immensely enjoyed by everyone, for we passed along Seneca Lake, through the Wyoming Valley and along the picturesque Susquehanna River. It was an exceedingly interesting experience, also the pass through the Wilkesbarre coal fields, Mauch Chunk, Philadelphia and Wilmington. However, the latter part of our trip was spent in darkness. We arrived at the New Varnum Hotel at eleven-thirty o'clock, after we had mopped our sturdy brows many times on the way from the largest station in the world. Our first sight of the capitol was caught in passing it on the way from the station. The party of thirty-eight was very ably conducted by Mr. F. R. Park and chaperoned by Miss Bley to the many places of interest. Among the most noteworthy were the capitol, the Congressional Library, the Treasury Building and the Washington monument. On Easter Sunday we saw Presi- dent and Mrs. Harding go to church where only two of our party were fortunate to gain admittance. However, we were given the privilege of shaking hands with Mr. Harding and of entering many rooms of the White House. One night will be forever remembered by us, for then we were given the chance to attend a fine theatre thru the kindness of Mr. Trefts who presented us with a handsome check. Wednesday was spent in going to Mount Vernon, the home of the Father of our country, to Alexandria and to the Arlington Cemetery. Thursday we left this beautiful city at seven forty-five in the morning for Philadelphia, where we visited the United States mint and Independence Hall, and were guided through the battleship South Carolina. This trip will never be forgotten by those who enjoyed the pleasures afforded them by it. It was very educational as well as enjoyable, besides giving everyone the chance to begin new friendships as well as improve the old ones. The class of 1921 wishes that every graduating class may enjoy this privilege in the years to come. -Loretta Koch. 43 mmllllmniunininnn l..llllll!l' MM Z Wd ale is Cm... ,,,,,,.

When the teeth arrived Mr. Cox put them in his mouth and began to talk and talk and talk. He couldn't stop talking. It became a perpetual motion. lVlr. Cox wrote back to Sears 6: Roebuck telling of his embarrassment and asked what he should do. The firm replied: Send the teeth back because they are women's and there is no remedy. ii-ii During one of the aviation meets Wippy went through the hangars and after asking the usual foolish questions that aviators have to answer during a tour of inspection, she wanted to know: But what if your engine stops in the air-what happens?
