PARK SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL HAMBURG HIGH SCHOOL I9I8-1923 Hartwell lf ever fondest prayer For other's weal avail'd on high Mine will not all be lost in air, But waft thy name beyond the sky. The poet Byron, in these lines best expresses the thought in my heart as l bid adieu to Hamburg High School and the many loyal friends and able co- workers among whom l have labored for' the past five years. If there has been given you, as a result of these years of effort anything of knowledge that will serve you in the battle of life, anything of inspiration or desire for the higher things of life that really count, or anything of power that will the better enable you to serve your fellows, l shall consider my period of tenure of this office rich indeed in its returns, because, my friends, far greater than the satisfaction in helping to acquire new playgrounds, or beautiful new buildings, in improving the scholarship or perfecting the organization of the school, is the satisfaction that comes to one at the thought that he may have contributed ever so little to the building of a life. It is, therefore, with a prayer of thankfulness for the richness of the opportunity that has been mine, of hope that l have made some small' con- tribution to your lives worth cherishing and of future good will to you and Hamburg High School, that l bid you farewell. ' FORD R. PARK 311151 a math nf Appreriatinn The reputation of a school is shaped to a large degree by the efforts of its superintendent. Hamburg High School has steadily progressed during the last five years, until it holds an enviable position in the scholastic world in many ways. Several notable achievements have been brought about under the super- vision of Ford R. Park, who resigns this year to accept a better position in the Buffalo schools. The Junior High School division which is steadily being adopted by the more up-to-date schools was established under' Mr. Parkis direction, four years ago. The Washington trip for Seniors, which is a liberal education in itself, was also originated by him. Another of his great improvements in the management of the high school is the institution of the supervised study period. Largely through the efforts of lVlr. Park the new school project was brought before the people of Hamburg and is now in the hands of the architect. He has been a prominent figure in many activities outside of school, especially in the Boy Scout movement. Mr. Park will surely be missed in his capacity as superintendent, both by his pupils and his many friends outside of school. We, the pupils of Hamburg High School, sincerely wish him success and happiness in his new position. -9.. Gbftirvrzi 10116155 nf 1923 President ..,.......... Vice President .,..........

She was captain of the l922-23 girls, basketball team and on the Quarterly Moon staff as one of the joke editors. Too bad, boys, but Peg is taken by a prominent tennis star whom we all know without any mention of names. KENNETH HENRY FISHER FISHER 462 PLEASANT AVENUE For three long years of his high school career, Kenneth remained a bachelor but now he has be- come one of our prize dark corner athletes and is never seen sitting on the proper side of study hall. He is a studious lad although many people share the opinion that most of his school work is done by proxy. -15- Lorraine's countr home is ver o ular, as h y y 1 RAIN HAMBURG, NEW YORK l SI' FRANCES ELLEN FOOTE i FRAN EVANS STREET Frances is so thin that We fear for her When. a high wind blows. She is very sensitive about this and after our Ntripu when some one said to her 'iFrances, l see you're back from Washi11gton, she was quite offended. One of Frances' bad habits is tarcliness. Vve shall have to excuse her for this because she has so many nocturnal dates. Her future will be spent in nursing. We fear that this slim brunette will soon be caught in the meshes of matrimony if she isn't careful. 7 ' CLEO MARIE GRESSMAN e'c1.EATs WATER VALLEY BOULEVARD Whoa! Steady there! Here she comes!

Girls, we warn you, beware! FRANK JONES I-IOVVDER KID 44 UNION STREET Frank is one of our brilliant boys. He is equally proficient in joshing, making love, and oratory.

KING I I4 PROSPECT AVENUE uKing'I is one of Laur quiet boys. I-Ie's quite a hermit, spending mdst of his time away from the Hwiles of women. iNoted as a woman hater I-Ie hopes to foIIow dhe vocation of engineering, in which we expect his qualities to do him good stead. -. LAURA O DAY IRISH HAWKINS AVENUE Laura was a very quiet girl the first two years! of her Iife in high school but the Iast year she has mysteriously yet dangerousIy been entangled in' meshes of a certain F-i-s-h-e-r-man's nets. Not only has Laura shown some skiII in selecting a suit- able suitor but she has the honor of being the only one in the class to graduate in three years. She aIso seems to handle the office of secretary witI'5 some dexterity in that when she has to he absent she has her substitute to take minutes. JENNIE VIOLA PIERCE FAT 47 DUDLEY AVENUE Jennie is the most conscientious worker of our cIass. Her favorite song is IVIerriIy I ROII AIong.,' Her favorite occudation is reducing to music. I-Ier favorite saying is How fat I am. Nobody knows how fat I am. I-Ier favorite dish is IVIothers Oats. I-Ier favorite drink is IVIeIIin's Food. -20A RUTH MIRIAM PLATT HRUT1-IIE 105 SOUTH LAKE The shortest girl in our class, you see, A cute little, clever little lass is she. Our i'Ruthie is very proficient in mathematics and quite bright in civics, so bright, in fact, that she does nearly all her other lessons in that class. She is also very adept at translating French and makes her versions very interesting by always using the more humorous meaning. She is very fond of quoting Shakespeare, especially one line from Macbeth. She corresponds quite frequently with some one at Cornell. She says she was quite a good girl in Washington except for wearing ear- rings, going to the Cayety theater, and a few other minor details. She loves automobile riding and P Oh, indeed, she's not as solemn nor as innocent as she looks. WESLEY AGA RICHARDSON HVVAGAH LAKE STREET Here we are! Uncle Walt, a decidedlly ap- propriate name for Aga as we discovered in the Senior play wheni a settee large enough for him to get under could not be procured. As a result, a table was selected to conceal him. He says he had a perfectly urippingn time at the Washington monument. So impressed was he with the muse- ums that he has started one of his own, judging from the collection of rings he wears on his Watch chain. This romantic and vain Senior has three amusements of which he is very fond-dancing, hiking and hunting. But, girls, he has one bad 4 F habit. He talks in his sleep! LOIS SOPI-IIA RIEFLER ' - LOlE HAMBURG, N, Y. Labor omnia vincitf, virtually spell Lois Riefler. Hard work, perseverance, patience, am- bition, and a good sense of humor have gained for Lois a place among the best students of the class of '23. She is quite an elocutionist as those who heard a certain debate in assembly this year will testify. Judging from these qualifications it would seem that Lois is perfectly justified in choos- ing school teaching as her profession. Her worthy characteristics indeed form a rainbow of promise for her future. - , ULU.. to the wo rld. H PAUL CHARLES RIEFLER CHARLIE ' EDEN, NEW YORK Paul is never seen witlfout his smile. He has the sunny nature that goes with it and is quite a bluffer. Paul has become very proficient in driving his little Ford. l-le is fond of filling it with class- mates and driving at the Hlsreakneckn speed of forty-seven. None ever got ahead of Paul. The ducks and chickens all scamper when they see him coming. l-le has broken many hearts with his deep blue eyes.

Not every class can boast of twins on its roll, as can ours. However, Luella is Lois' twin in birth- day only. Her ideas are decidedly her own and vastly different from those of her sister. Luella intends to become a nurse, and if she continues to wreathe her face in smiles she will most cer- tainly attain success in her profession. Success, as worthily defined by this promising young student, is dsatisfaction at having been of service SARAH ELIZA SALISBURY 128 PLEASANT AVENUE is a great success. She our lVloon. However, she and no play would make consequently, can be seen the back of the room gos- neighbors. She and jim Bley must have a great deal in common for they hold frequent long conversations. ROBERT ARNOLD SCI-IOENLAUB BOB 234 BUFFALO STREET Robert Schoenlaub is an eccentric young man Who appears quite content with his banjo in hand. As a meek and mild hubsand, l'm sure you'll agree, 1-Ieis Cornprehensioll By you and by me. BEATRICE MARY SCI-IROEDER BEATERS EVANS STREET Beaters is one of our lovely blondes. She is a good example of the combination of beauty and brains. To prove this it is only necessary to say that she is our Salutatorian. f'Beaters said she had a very good time in Washington. Many a moonlight night she could be seen sauntering down Pennsylvania avenue with a romantic escort. Beaters' love for flowers amounts to an obsession-fsweet peas preferredf. Although in most every way a model young lady, she has one bad habit-namely talking: she even talks in her sleep. Many is the time, in the wee sma' hours, her room mates in Washingtoii were awakened by vociferous language from 'Beaters' H bed. This habit Won her the nickname of Buzzy- Kid-Coocoo. i'Beaters' H attentions are divided' be- tween l-lamburg and Cornell. She likes fat men. LOUISE STOCKTON SI-IELDON SLIM 292 PROSPECT AVENUE Louise is one of our best athletes. She plays on the undefeatable basketball team. Tall, and slim, with bobbed hair and blue eyes, Louise is very athletic and is manager of the basketball team. Her future occupation is physical training. We trust that the coming generation will be models of physical perfection. Her hobby is writing letters. She sends most of them to Detroit to a certain Ted. JOSEPH JAMES SPRISSLER JOE 6I MAPLE AVENUE All is quiet in the study hall,-that is, there is no undue excitement. The doors are about to be closed when suddenly a tall figure enters and strides down the outside aisle, pulling hair, pick- ing up pencils, and leaving disaster in his Wake. Need I mention his name? lt's joe Sprissler, of course. joe is our tallest boy and one of our best athletes. l-le has helped us put through many of our big propositions so that We might go to Washiiigton. On the Way clown to Washington joe kept many of us from boredom and sleep by his traveling orchestraf' joe says he enjoys ink baths very much.

He is especially noted for his wise cracks, heard by those who had dinner at the bachelors' table in the George Washington Inn, one certain night. Get off the ice, Bob, you're making funny cracks.

Park, ruler over the castle of learning, known N in those parts as the Hamburg l-hgh School. Now, among the finest people of his court was a company of youths and maidens, ' SL bearing the name of The Class of '23. And of them and their adventurous journey to Graduation shall my story be. It was a lovely morn in early September when first the Class of '23 set out. There were dark prophesies' that the trail would hold more evils and difhculties for these young people than any had experienced since the long- vanished days of l9l3. As Freshmen, they should be almost unaware of the presence of evil, but their realization of it should be accentuated with the years until as Seniors they should be almost overwhelmed with ominous difli- culties. And upon what was such a prophecy based? It was founded on the knowledge that Twenty-three was to be their fairy guide and Twenty-three was reputed to be wicked. When the fairy guide was introduced to the 'iClass of '23,,' she uttered these words: Wlqreat me right and l will return the compliment. Immedi- ately she disappeared and thereafter was with them in spirit only. As Freshmen, the Class of '23,' met with no further misfortune than to be dubbed green. As Sophomores they became more sophisticated. How- ever, as Juniors their troubles apparently began. Not far from Graduation loomed the beautiful city of wonders, Wash- ington, and there the boys and girls planned to stop during their Senior year. But to do so required money which must be earned. Being therefore ambi- tious, they began to execute plans to gain money. A dance was given which was indeed successful with the exception of one incident. A cut-glass punch bowl was broken. What luck! At the very first attempt to earn money! However, after paying for the bowl, they still had a nice profit left. Then the Senior rings were ordered, the symbol of the fourth year of travel. Alas! When the rings arrived it was discovered that the design was not the exact reproduction ofl the model ordered and the Juniors were dis- appointed. When the Juniors became Seniors, they secured the alteration of the design to comply with their desires. This incident proved to them that courtesy was both good to give and receive. If Twenty-three meddled with the Junior' play, The Neighbors, it was only to aid it, for not a disaster befell the evening's performance. It was a perfect success. r flnez will verify this statement., The candy sales at the end of the year were also satisfactory, showing no sign of Twenty-three's prophesied evils. The Junior Prom was the crowning event of the year, with the exception only of success in regents which success ushered in the fourth year of travels o'er the path of knowledge. As Seniors, the Class of '23, still led by their fairy guide, experienced various emotions. They strayed now and then from the intellectual path to taste of other joys and to earn money so that they might behold the' marvels of Washington. lVlartha's Mourning, a one-act play given to swell the Washington fund, fulfilled the purpose for which it was presented. And then, lo! Twenty-three waved her wand and the class sold Forget- me-nots for the soldiers. The reputed bad luck of Twenty-three was ap- -25- parently with several persons at the get-to-gether party held by the Seniors. A circle was formed. The lights went off, the lights went on, as if by magic, and behold! The cheeks of several boys and girls, though they themselves were unaware of it, betrayed the fact that they had flirted with burnt cork. But again Twenty-three turned the black into the silvery laugh of youth. And next came the first big play of the season, The Adventures of Grandpa. The Adventures of Grandpan indeed brought many adventures to the Class of 'Z3.', The date of presentation was delayed and there were conse- quent misfortunes for the business manager. During the course of the per- formance a door of the stage was upset by one of the lusty actors. The next evening complete disaster was threatened, for the one key necessary to open the hall of entertainment was lost. A duplicate was obtained, however. The play itself with the rest of the eveningis entertainment was an absolute success., uPa's Partyf, a playlet, cuts from Tom Sawyer and a Shakespearean entertainment, all three given by Seniors or a majority of Seniors, were the sources of much pleasure for both the actors and the audience. Thel costum- ing in the first two added not a little spice to the performance. Other events followed fast upon the heels of these. There was a, dance in February to which Twenty-three had seemingly invited St. Valentine. Then came a sleigh-ride to Eden and Twenty-three, knowing the wishes of the romantic Seniors caused the story-book tales of the country town and its cracker-barrel episodes in the general store to come true, the Seniors being the major characters in the cast. The mention of casts introduces more plays and more make-believe. The Ghost Storyn and The Trysting Placei' were the final plays given to pave the way to Washington. Now the Seniors were but a short distance from the Capital City. They looked forward and beholding Washington, hurried to enter the veritable fairy- land. Never could imagination paint such a city. Contact only made possible the realization of such wonders. All that was lacking during the first half of the visit was the balmy weather of spring. People said that that was due to Twenty-three's accompanying the party. However, the Seniors declared their fairy guide to be an excellent friend, for in one short space of time they could enjoy both the winter and summer of Washington. But additional joys lay in store for the Seniors. Diversity was offered them by ink baths, the style in Washingtong most of the people being black down there. When they emerged they were in perfect harmony with the colored population of that city. After having eaten many delicious and heretofore unknown foods, the Seniors bade farewell to the wondrous city. Sobriety again replaced jollity when the Class of '23 once more resumed their journey to Graduation, now but a short distance away. From now on they dreamed of' entering the world through opportunity's gates. But none could accomplish this feat or even reach Graduation unless he offered the keeper of the gates a passport, explaining his intended business in the world. Thus the Seniors were exceedingly busy during the rest of the Way, writing acceptable explanations or Hessaysn as they called them. Finally these were prepared and passing the necessary examinations, the Seniors experienced the joys of Graduation. And oh, what joys! And so all's well that ends well. Mildred Kleinfelder -27- 0111155 151111111 With graduation now in View We seniors feel quite proud and bright, Andi though there're Regents yet to pass, We hope that they'll turn out all right. With some regrets we soon must leave Our school which four long years has been The place of toil both hard and long, To help us choose our goal and win. First, to our president we turn. He is hard-worked by everyone. We never knew his freakishness Until we went to Washington. Ruth Platt, vice-president of ours, ls sweet and modest as can he, So glad and wise from dawn 'til dark, And always full of youthful glee. And Eddie Hauck is treasurer Of our most celebrated class. l-le surely is an honest boy, For he has handled all our cash. Then little Laura keeps our notes As cheerfully and faithfully As she does Latin lessons, hard, For Kenneth Fisher, devotee. Confirmed optimist and more, Louise S. Sheldon, slim and tall, She makes a basket any time, For she's a shark at basketball. The singer of the Senior class, And one who's hound to win great fame, ls Arline Wishing, full of life, On honoris cliff she'll carve her name. Next on the list comes Jimmie Bley l-le is quite fat, no doubt, you know. We fear that he'll get hurt some day, Because he walks so very slow. Leona Coon, that dark-eyed miss, Who lures with smile and voice and eye, Just ask her who her latest is, And she will say, Why Jimmie Bleyf' Now Coral Davis, merry girl, Cheers every one with laughter sweet So gay a sound is seldom heard. It is indeed a wholesome treat. And Evelyn lVlachmer's so precise, And very independent, too, For she relies on no one else Except herself, this is quite true. I-Iere's Robert Schoenlaubg he believes If girls were but to list to him They'd learn, what is the best to wear To please the most exacting men. And Evelyn Taylor is a vamp, So childish and yet quite grown up, As candy salesman she excels, For she has brought in quite a lump. Then, too, We have the Riefler twinsg They're Lois and Luella called. They calmly live in perfect peace And never quarrel, so we are told. Next Robert A. Ueblacker comes, His name takes up almost a line. I-le has a true poetic soul, His genius lies in making rhyme. Ruth Gressman is a real coquette, A graceful, charming dancer. She ls pleasant always and weire told ls quite inclined to flattery. Since Sara Salisbury is The editor-in-chief of this I need not say a single thing. About her capabilities. Frank I-Iowder is a playful lad, He skips with lightly bended knee, He is quite clever too, you know, And just as bright as can be. Next comes Miss Margaret Faulhaber, A nurse she'll be, if l'm not wrong, Weire sure she'll be successful, for She is real big and very strong. That Fronie Burns has pep 'tis true And sometimes pretty pepperyg She speaks her mind no matter where. Advice, we note, is always free. Now Beatrice Schroeder is, perhaps, The brightest one in all our class. I-low very nice, it seems to me, To never fear that one won't pass. And next we have two of a kind, Tut, Richardson and Jennie Pierce, They bothi are fat, they both are short. Combine their weights! The sum is fierce! Two more who are so near a size, That one might almost think them twins Are bob-haired Frances and Bernice. They both are slim, both quite good friends Earl North, the hunter of our class, The woodsman, deep, mysterious, Although he smiles and even laughs ls usually quite serious. E. Critoph, now, with eyes of brown, Was born in England o'er the sea. She loves to draw and some day will An artist make, it seems to me. When Beatrice Constantine is near Our thoughts of gloom begin to flee, For she's the kind of girl who makes The loneliest house seem quite homey. The only red-head in our class CI hope she doesn't mind it thoughl ls pleasing Eleanor Taylor, one Who never lets her temper go. Paul Riefler is a jolly scamp, Of funny cracks he has his share, l'-le spends his time upon the farm, But drives a truck and not a mare. Another member of our class ls Ruth Burandt. We must assert, Although she is a proper girl, That she is sometimes quite a flirt. As modest as a violet, Of which great bards have often sung, ls Loraine Eastman, quiet maid, But just the same, a clever one. From Boston, Annie Boulton comes Each morning with a happy smile, To see it cheers one up for it's The kind that will the soul beguile. And Elmer Boehmer is a boy Of whom, his Ma is justly proud. I-le passes many idle hours ln making love both long and loud. Now Mildred Kleinfelder is true To teachers, school, and all her friends. She is a very studious girl And always to her lesson tends. -30- Next Cleo Gressman comes to view, Her name is Gressman just pro tem. l'mf sure we Seniors wish her luck, And happiness and joy with whim. Since Sarah Butts is very short, We've overlooked her heretofore. If social worker she should be, fm sure weid all like to be poor. Now Stanley Abbott is quite tall And rather awkward in his walk, But he is still a pleasing boy, E'en though he stutters when he talks. And Sylvia Klienfelder comes next. A miss extremely talkative, Regardless of wherier it is, Shes always willing help to give. And last Joe Sprissler comes to sight, I-Ie's known to all who now are here, I-le's fond of jazz, without a doubt, He is a lad without a care. And so I say, with your permission, And now, good friends, bygone is gone, l hope we'll all escape perditionf' And so I say my tale is done . CHARLOTTE IVI. KOCH. ++ Ahim I We, the members of the Quarterly Mooni' Staff, looking over the activities of the past year, feel that our efforts have been unusually successful. The first three issues netted a proflt which the staff decided to apply on the year book. Favorable com- ments have been received from several exchanges, and our paper has compared favorably with those of much larger schools. At the Annual Banquet, held May 31st, at the Hotel Pfrang, Ha very good supper was enjoyed, to quote Mr. Harris and, several cthers, and much good advice was given to future staff officers by the retiring staff members. Good wishes for the future were expressed, the eloquent toastmaster, James Bley, introduced the several speakers with appropriate remarks, and at the end of a most enjoyable evening, the school song was enthusiastically sung. So with fond memories of the past and best wishes for the future the Stag of 1923 close the year. 131- Gllamz Hrnphvrg HOME WEEK. in l-lamburg with the band playing and flags flying! l-low fine everything looked! l pressed forward eagerly ' I to see a procession pass. It had been fifteen years since l had fm visited the town where my high school days were spent and l ! 'k 'JJ looked anxiously around for a familiar face in the crowd. Lean- ing against a lamp post l saw a soldier. I-Ie looked up-it was Aga Richardson on a furlough, home from Plattsburg! And beside him stood Edwin l-lauck, who, Aga informed me, was now croquet champion of Florida. Just then a shout went up from the bystanders as a car was driven past bearing a young woman. l asked who this might be and learned that it was Governor Veronica Burns. To think that in Caesar class l used to be next to this royal! person! l was quite thrilled! Behind her came another car which bore this sign, 'iRepresentative Agle. He wears no man's collar! ln it sat flerman bowing and smiling at all the pretty girls. l began to wonder if all my classmates were such prominent people. Somebody stepped on my foot, just then l looked around. There' stood Jennie Pierce as jolly as ever. She was employed by the National Biscuit Company and drove a bread truck for them. She called my attention to another car just passing. It was so green it hurt my eyes to look at it. She informed me that the man who leaned back so comfortably was Robert Schoenlaub, Peanut King of the World, and that he had a reputation for cynicism almost equal to that of Alexander Pope. The next auto was a very magnificent one and contained a lady quite elegantly dressed. Jennie said it was Cleo Gressman Stetler, the Lettuce and Onion Queeni' of New York State. l was dazed by such a display of wealth and only became my normal self again upon seeing two purple and white taxis bearing on the sides these words-Davis-Ueblacker, Bus Line-and driven by their respective owners. Behind the autos marched the school children, kept in line by Louise Sheldon and Ruth Gressman. Later l learned that Louise was teaching physical training at the high school and Ruth had succeeded lVliss Calkins as Latin instructor. Something creaked over my head. l looked up and saw this sign, Foote-Wakelee, Beauty Parlors, Let us furnish you with a transformation. Spot cashf, l turned my attention to the parade once more. The police force was going past-composed of Peg Faulhaber, riding an ancient horse. She had secured the position Chief Weis used to hold. l felt sorry for the law-breakers of the town. l crossed the street and saw a new building over which hung this invi- tation, 'Platt-Schroeder, Interior Decorators, Walk inf, Later l learned that they were busy redecorating Thielis hall. ln front of this place was Stanley Abbott. l-le said he was taking his vacation from his position as clerk in the Children's Department of VVanamaker's store in New York City. A little further up the street l met Annie Boulton, Loraine Eastman, Charlotte Koch and Evelyn lVlachmer. Annie was a Salvation Army Lassie, Loraine an archeologist, Charlotte was staying home taking care of the Trojan horse in their store window. Evelyn was running a cat farm. They told me that Evelyn Taylor was running the elevator at the George Washington -32- lnn, having succeeded I-larry, also that Ella Critokph had become a famous artist, and was at present finishing the frieze on the inside of the dome of the capitol. Standing on the corner were a very contented looking couple-lVlr. and Mrs. Fisher. They were running a chicken farm at Ebenezer very success- fully. Laura said Elmer Boehmer was married and wrote blank verse to support his family. just then a very dignified man went past wearing clark glasses and swinging a cane. Frank l-lowder, Kenneth said, who taught psychology at Yale. That night there was a meeting in the park with a speaker. l-le elaborated on the number of great people Hamburg had produced, among them: Arline Wishing, noted sopranog Joe Sprissler, idol of thel Gayety in Washingtong Mildred and Sylvia Kleinfelder, keepers of the vaults of the United States Treasuryg Sarah Salisbury, assistant editor-in-chief of the New York Sunng Earl North, the second Rudolph Valentino of American drama. The following day l again started up the street. Sitting on the bench in front of a garageu run by the Riefler girls, sat James Bley. l-le said he was a gentleman tramp. l wasnit surprised as he had shown symptoms, in his high school career, of possessing a wander lust. Further up the street l met Ruth Burandt, who was taking a vacation at home from her strenuous work of a missionary in Depew. She told me Eleanor Taylor had married a millionaire and was traveling in Europe and also that Beatrice Constantine was a lady barber in Buffalo and Leona Coon was the head of the Buffalo Public Library. Some one thrust a paper into my hand. l looked at it.

It is the celebration of one achievement and the presentation of many problems. We, upon first entering high school, looked forward to the day when we should graduate, but now, we realize, since we have attained that objective point in our lives, that We are being cast upon the billowy, fathomless sea of Life to guide our own barques. Not only does tonight mark a great achievement, but it also brings about the last organized meeting of the Class of '23. We, from now on, do not intend to meet the adversities of life as a class, but expect to follow our own courses independent of each other and meet them alone. No little regret is brought to our hearts by this fact. But are we not fitted to meet problems, difficulties and adversities which may lie in our path? All through our high school career we have prepared ourselves to meet the problems and difficulties of life. Some people think that one attends high school of the purpose solely of learning Latin, mathematics or science, but in: this supposition they are very much mistaken, for our real purpose is to learn to think. The matter of marks in school, although good grades are very fine to have, is immaterial when life's real problems confront us. If one, through his high school course, has learned to concentrate on and solve his problems in mathematics or science he has accomplished what is expected of him, and is better fitted, in whatever he may attempt, to succeed. Tech- nically a man who has finished high school is worth more in dollars and cents than a man with only a grammar school education because ofl the fact that he is capable of thinking, and consequently can be relied upon to solve greater problems than those already presented. However, a man is not only tech- nically benefitted but he also receives moral profits from his high school course or training. The world of today is looking for straight-forward citizens-men and women who can be trusted and relied upon to do what is asked of them and do it Well. The old saying, As the twig is bent, the tree's inclined, is per- fectly applicable to boys and girls entering high school. The course trains them to bel good, honest, trustworthy young men and women, by bending their characters so that they are inclined to trustworthiness and honesty. ln so doing these young men and women, the product of the combined efforts of school and faculty, are the best citizens of which this land of ours can boast. And when it is realized that nearly twenty-live thousand such young people are annually sent out into the world, a finished product so far as high school is concerned. What difficulties cannot be overcome? And more than that, the future of our own venerable land depends largely upon the twenty- five thousand graduates from high' school. Are they prepared to carry this responsible burden and carry on the incomplete work begun by their infallible forefathers? Put this question to any broadminded man with sound judg- ment and he will say: If ever there were any prepared to 'carry on,' these boys and girls certainly are. So it is that we are forced to enter into the uproar of this tumultous world to seek our fortune with the ample preparation given us by our Alma Mater. And with the aid of the Almighty it is the hope of everyone that fortune and success may be our reward. Herman G. Agle. - 34 - Salntatnrg Friends: 1 For four years our little Heet has been riding safely in the harborg tonight the anchors are weighed and slowly we drop together down the tide. A few hours more and these clustering sails will be scattered and fading specks, each in its own horizon, straining or drifting toward its port. Let us banish the thoughts of the life just past and dwell for a few moments on the life which lies before us. As we all know, there are many difficult lessons to be learned as we cross this tempestuous sea of Life. We are all very thankful for the splendid advice and counsel which our parents, teachers and friends have bestowed on us to prepare us for this venture and assist us in avoiding the shoals and rocks of temptation and the other dangers which everyone meets and must overcome if he is to make a success of his voyage' through life. To be sure, we are equally grateful to them for any lofty and compre- hensive ideal which they may have instilled in our hearts for no life without a noble aim is worth living. Even though we may fail in reaching the port of our desires, it is infinitely better than not trying at all. The highest ideal and the one which brings the greatest satisfaction and remuneration is service to mankind. He who dies without meliorating the conditions of the world in some way has not really lived, or carried out the purpose for which his Creator made him. So tonight we welcome you to commemorate the occasion of our launch- ing upon the uncertain sea of Life which lies stretched out before us. Our equipment is goodg our sails firm and strongg so let us brave the winds of fate, the treacherous rocks, and devote ourseves to the further pursuit of service to humanity.

N0 Wonder, then, that we, the Class of 1923, are elated when at last we are permitted to experience its profound emotions. Long have we worked and waited for tonight! Since the earliest dawn of the comprehension of its significance, we have endeav- ored to become partakers of its ceremonies. And now we find that our magnificent expectations were but as nothing compared with the reality. lnfinite joy, intense desire, and buoyant hope are ours tonight. Our cup of happiness is filled to overflowing. But we uwere but little happy, if fwej could say how much. Tonight the world flings her gates of oppor- tunity wide. open and bids us enter her mammoth repository of endless resources where each may choose that one which he would develop. It is hardly surprising then, that we are transported with rapture at such a pros- pect. There is everything to gain and nothing to lose. The knowledge we have acquired from the various phases of school life, is a priceless treasure which We shall ever carry with us, augmenting it as the years go byg a treas- ure which no man can steal nor aught destroy. Since true friendship is born of eternity, those precious attachments which we have experienced in our school days together will accompany us into the future. Likewise ever- lasting will be the influence of associations with noble-minded men and women who have given their best to us. All in the past which was good and beautiful has become a part of our immortal selves. What, then, is left behind? To what do we bid adieu? Nothing remains except palpable forrns subject to decay. We address a farewell only to the unworthy things of by-gone days since they are all that are left. Even the once kindly shell of protection with which school-life surrounded us has finally corne to that point when, having outlived its purpose, its further existence would be un- necessary if not injurious to the promising embryos of life which it has so long guarded. We are ready to grow and to advance. The very spirit within us would be smothered and choked if the shell were noti abandoned now. ln view of all this, shall we sigh for the days! that were? Shall we linger and weep for by-gone joys? No, We shall leave that for those unpro- gressives who ever long for the good old days. We shall rather welcome the future with open arms. We shall accept with gladness the worldis invi- tation to delve in her treasury of worth-while things. But it is necessary to pause a moment before attempting to select from the innumerable possibilities so abundantly offered us, those by which we shall gain lifeis ultimate reward. Now is the time to choose our life work, the work with which We shall earn our right to exist, thel labor which shall ascertain our merits. This is no easy task. First, we must consider the needs of society and then We must choose those occupations for which We have natural ability and which will relieve those wants. ln other words, correct choice of vocation depends on consideration of service to be ren- dered. Servicey alone is the test of worth. The Good Book says: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. Hence we are eager that our minds and hearts shall devise the right way to advance. Having determined upon the course which we shall pursue let us remem- ber the advice contained in these words: -33- Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might. Then will success be attained. There may be obstacles in the way, but few things are impossible to diligence, combined with knowledge, which latter is more than equivalent to force. However, we must not confuse manis version of success with the true success. If we serve to the best of our ability in order to gain Wealth or to become famous, that end achieved is not real victory. Service for the sake of service, servicd given with the idea of sharing our blessings with others, such is our means of laying upl treasure where Hneither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. That is true success. Not that which people account failure, but low aim is crime. May our aspirations ascend and ascend, and continue to ascend until they shall be bounded only by eternity! Therein lies our hope of true success. Then, bidding farewell to all things perishable,1 retaining those of emi- nent worth, and zealously saluting the future, let us say, with Holmes: Build thee more stately mansions, O my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy low-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee fromt heaven with a dome more vast, Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine outgrown shell by l..ife's unresting sea!

So we in the role of Seniors stand awestricken at the nearness of the goal which we in child- hood set for ourselves. lt has never occurred to us until these last few unforgettable days, except in an indistinct manner, how much others have done to mould the beginnings of our lives and characters into shapeliness, and how little we have responded to their attempts to lead us on to better, broader paths, and to draw out the best that was latent within us. just as one regrets ill spoken words after they can never be recalled, we shall regret the un- pleasant things that we have said, and done to our friends, the teachers, who have so generously shared with us their wisdoms, which they spent many weary years acquiring. Many never find in the teachers, the honest, loyal heart that shrinks from the cuts and wounds which are so lavishly bestowed upon it by the ungrateful. Such were we as beginners, but at last, now that a close companionship with our leaders is almost at an end, ffor it does end with one's Senior year in high school, we hope that We may express in this way thankfulness to those who have always sought to bring out the best in the worst of us, and that we may wish the teachers of Hamburg High School a future replete with happiness and success.

Whenever you are dumb with gloom, just think of something very funny, Of times when you were young and gay ln Washington, with lots of, moneyf ?D Remember how you started off To shows with your best beau or girlie, And how you got in awful late And told the chaperone 'twas early. 'Twas Lefty Boehmer, you recall, Who, being hungry in the night, Set out in search of food and drink And got sent back to bed in fright. Now don't forget the pillow fights We used to have in early morn. We knocked the furniture about And calls for silence we would scorn. Another famous character, Was Beaters Schroeder, who would talk. She hollered in her sleep, 'tis true, On moonlight nights she liked to walk. Now Gramp Agle, our tall president, We always thought was rather bright, He looked for a name on a big lamp post While taking a walk the very first night. And now the cut-up of the class, You all remember jolly Joe, And how he tried to clean the street One day, when we were on the go. Aga Richardson who is fat, Broke the heart of every miss. 'Tis said he had a ripping time, A shocking tale, but true, is this. Think back a bit now and recall How young Frank I-lowder made a scene, He posed as jack Holt, movie star, Although he's never seen the screen. We all walked up the monument, Erected to George Washington. We lost an awful lot of weight Jennie Pierce thought that it was fun. Jamie Bley got quite a crush On that sweet child, Leona Coon. They used to have the nicest walks And thought we came back home too soon Young Paul Riefler, naughty lad, Went to all the shows in town: We missed him one time late at night- And at the Gayety he was found. Laura O'Day and Kenneth Fisher, inseparable as a toper and his keg, Went to a show and heard that saying, I'd rather have a hard-boiled egg.' Coral Davis, cunning little devil, Chased all around for souvenirs. If the President could see her collection, l-le would surely be shocked to tears! ulrronien Burns, met catastrophies galore: She thought she'd take a bath one night, Her roommates filled the tulo with ink, She surely was a sorry sight! l could go on forevermore To make you laugh and reminisce But l have neither time nor ink To Waste upon a job like this. But just before l call this done There's something that I mustnit slight- lt's that old call We used to give Just sing it out now, All Right! Ruth Platt, '23.

I-Ielen DaIrympIe i LETK5 Q 9' Ilinnthall Our football team, although handicapped by inexperience and lack of weight and although often on the wrong side of the score, proved its sports- manship and traditional Hgamenessn in the past season. The opposing teams, many of them having had good football seasons, and some of them, being heavy, nevertheless recognized the Hamburg spirit. The local team many times took a great deal of punishment, but in no case did they develop a uquitterf, A Sprissler, as in former seasons, held down the center, and was a main- stay of the line. Two new players, Clark and Armbruster, both of them showing promise, played as guards. I-lowder, likewise new, played a good game at tackle. Bley, last yearis guard, ably held down the other tackle. The ends were varied. Momberger played an excellent game, both offensive and defensive. Potter, the other left end, shows promise. Schoenlaub and Stearns and Scott played on the right end of the line. Hagle, although new at the game, played quarterback well. Taylor and Bill Sipprell showed ability as half-backs. Shirt Sipprell, the team captain, played a game to be proud of in his old place at half-back. Spiez, likewise, played well. Shoemaker, at his place at quarter, helped greatly. Dain, our light but shifty full-back, pulled his team up many times. Other ones deserving note are Schweikardt, Hengerer, Middleton, Faulhaber, Berean, Ueblacker and Eaton. i Bankvthall Coach ...., ..,YA, ......... M r.

Hamburg has always had one of the best basketball teams in the league. This year her players, too light for football, were fast and shifty on the basketball court. Dain, as in football, played well. Sprissler, our rangy center, was another valuable player. I-lauck, Coffee, Stearns and Bley were good. Pierce, Sipprell, Berean and Adams will probably be mem- bers of future basketball teams. Reference to back numbers of The Quarterly Moon will show what the scores of the Various games were. -55- - V r' ' Ifiarwhall Acting Captain ,......,... ................... J oe Sprissler Coach ......................... ..,........ M r. R. Wasson Manager .....,..... .,......... R obert Ueblacker The prospects for the baseball team of '23 are quite promising, although the players for the most part, are green and inexperienced. It is hoped that the ability to play baseball through valuable experience and consistent prac- tice will make a team of which Hamburg High School will be justly proud. There was a good squad of candidates out this year and it has been a hard task to pick a team with only one regular player, Sprissler and two former substitutes, Coffee and Dain, left from last year's team. The team will un- doubtedly be picked from the following: Sprissler, catcher, Coffey, Brod- beck, pitchersg Berean, Taylor, Bennett, Lederman, Abbott, Dain, infielders, Hauck, Middleton, Sipprell, M. Pierce, Kerr, Stearns, Armbruster, outflelders. CEU15' Aihletim The season of 1922 - '23 was the second season of the Spalding Girls' Basketball League. Last season the members of the league were: East Aurora, Springville, Qrchard Park, Depew and Hamburg. This season the league had the same members, but North Tonawanda, Tonawanda and Ken- more were added to the list. Hamburg High School has the cup, which the Spalding League offered. The cup had to be won two years in succession by the same team before it could be displayed as a permanent trophy with the other cups of the school. The schedule, together with a brief account of the games follows: January l, 1923 ............,..A.,.................,...,........... Springville vs. Hamburg, at Springville The girls had a hard time defeating the G. l. girls, on account of lack of practice, but at the end of the game Hamburg was victorious and won by a score of I9 - 20. january 6, 1923 ........,.,,..,,..,,.........,,,,,,,,,,.............................. Depew vs. Hamburg, at Depew At thisi game a new rule was tried out. It was new to the Hamburg girls, but the Depew girls had practiced a number of times. Neverthe- less, this did not keep Hamburg from adding another victory to her list. The score was 2 - 4l. january l2, l923 ....,..............,.,...,...,.................. East Aurora vs. Hamburg, at Hamburg This was the, first game for the girls on the local court. East Aurora showed skill and their forwards made some excellent long distance clean- shot baskets. Hamburg triumphed over another rival. The score was 8-45. January 26, l923 ,..........,.,l,.l............... North Tonawanda vs. Hamburg, at Hamburg Hamburg defeated the North Tonawanda girls by a score of IZ - 22. February 2, I923 .,........,............................... East Aurora vs. Hamburg, at East Aurora This game was looked forward to by many, the onlookers as well as the players. The game was interesting and a much closer score resulted in the end than when East Aurora played at Hamburg. Score, I3 - l8. Hamburg was once more victor. February l4, 1923 .....,..,..,.,,........................... Orchard Park vs. Hamburg, at Hamburg The Purple and White again waved victoriously o'er its opponents. The score was 5 - 37. February l6, l923 ......... .................,................. T onawanda vs. Hamburg, at Hamburg If ever Hamburg came near losing, it surely was at this game. This was about the most exciting and interesting game played on the local court. Hamburg won by one point. Score, I8 - l9. -59- 2 February 2 l, l923 ......,.......,.................. Orchard Park vs. Hamburg, at Orchard Park The second team, that is a few of the second team, plus one or two first team, played the first half of this game, then the entire first team played the second half. The score was in H. H. Sfs favor, I2 - 40. February 28, 1923 ...........r...........,..,,.................... Springville vs. Hamburg, at Hamburg Hamburgis oldest rival, Springville, played on the above date. The signals, fast playing of the guard and the accuracy of the forwards on the part of the Hamburg girls, helped to win this game. The G. l. girls also shot some clever baskets. The score was I7 - 28. March 2, 1923 ..,...........A....,...,......................,. Tonawanda vs. Hamburg, at Tonawanda This has been the first time the l-lamburg girls have been defeated in two years. The girls surely tried to make this another victory, but it was all in vain. The second half showed more encouragement on the part of the girls, but the game ended with a score oil 29 - I0 in Tonawandafs favor. March l6, l923 r,.................................,............ East Aurora vs. Hamburg at East Aurora This was not a league game but Hamburg enjoys going to East Aurora to play. The H. I-I. S. girls defeated the East Aurora girls by a score of I7-30. March 24, 1923 ................,............. N. Tonawanda vs. Hamburg, at N. Tonawanda This was the last game of the '22 - '23 season. The score was not very favorable to the Hamburg people, but after the second half was started things began to come our wayf, The result of the game was a victory for Hamburg. The score was I3 - 20. Hamburg High School has a promising team for next year, although a number of the team are in the graduating class, and will no longer help win a place for Hamburg by playing, namely: Margaret Faulhaber, Peg to most everyone. Louise Sheldon, Coral Davis, Mlrronien Burns and Ruth Gress- man alias ulVlin. The total of Hamburg High School points was 36l-that of the oppo- nents was l 73. The retiring basket tossers wish the on-coming team success, and hope Hamburg High School may be as successful as in former years. Ruth V. Gressman fllllm, Ziurnz Ginza the Girlz' Gram at Eanquri One of the loyal and faithful supporters of the Girls' Team of '22-'23, at the most decisive game, promised them a banquet if they gained the vic- tory which was to insure their permanent possession of the cup. This promise was fulfilled on May l9, at the home of Mrs. Burns. A five-course dinner was served in an elaborately-decorated dining room. The school colors, purple and white, were used to bring about this. The girls wish to express their appreciation to Mrs. Burns for her effort which made this banquet a reality and a success. -60- x7 S Y 'I ffllluumumu1uux1llll m X- - , , .. ,- ' 4 llxllhlllllllllll.

Upon hearing of his terrible disaster she immediately' became very sympathetic and wept hot tears of com- passion for him. With a cry of passion he caught her to his heart and held her closely to him with her nestled against his shoulder. lVIotionless as a stone he stood there with eyes closed and teeth clenched. Suddenly there burst from his throat a great sob of emotion-a hopeless groan. Ah, ah! I canit stand this, he cried. Oh! cruel-hearted man, for with one sweep of his arm he cast her from him. She lay at his feet, crushed and broken-hearted. Poor little Mustard Plaster! Beaters. Kenneth, speaking to Laura- I wonder how it was that George Wash- ington was born on a holiday!

Second S.- My privilegesf' LECTURES TO LOVELORN LADS Many years ago, while connected with one of l-lamburg's leading news- papers, l conducted a column entitled, Lectures to Lovelorn Lads. l re- ceived many letters, asking my advice and good judgment in affairs of the heart. These confidences l have never betrayed beyond printing in my daily columns. Since these lectures have been discontinued for many months, be- cause of my departure from the Hamburg newspaper life to a larger Held, namely, Water Valley, l feel that now l may print one of these. letters in a vain hope that it will aid some poor lovelorn lad in overcoming a broken heart. The letter is as follows: Dear Uncle Josh: A few months ago l was introduced to a very pretty girl at the home of a mutual friend. She seemed to be very much attracted to me although l made no immodest advances, as a bolder youth might have clone. Since this meeting she has taken me out several times in her car and when we became better acquainted she insisted upon holding my hand while driving. Should l allow this? One night last Week, when returning from a movie, she kissed me good-night. l was very much embarrassed, but did not wish to say any- thing to hurt her feelings, yet l feel that l must not allow this attention without knowing the exact intention of this girl toward me, for it would reflect on my good name. l have confided, without reserve, to father and he advised writ- ing to you. Dear Uncle Josh, l await your answer with greatest anxiety. Distractedly, Joey Sprissler. Dear Joey: l am so glad you came to me with your troubles. Your sweet little letter quite touched me. The pure innocence of our young lads must never be soiled. You are right in questioning the propriety of this young lady. Ask her frankly her intentions and, if she desires to wed you, question her further so that you may know her morals and her abilities. Ask her if she has been to the Gayety or the Follies, Cif she has, her morals are too low for you, provided you have never been there yourselfj, and if she can find the volume of a sphere, give the altitude of the Flatiron Building. Many a man has dis- covered too late that his soulmate does not know that V : gh fiiv2 iiv2J l-6iih3. Such a mistake has too often caused a broken heart and even death itself. Be true to yourself, dear boy, and do not marry where your heart does not dictate. Always your friend, Uncle Josh, the Heart Mender. -65- Beatrice Schroeder must believe that Solid Geometry is far from dry She is often seen reciting with her rubbers on.
