Harris T is impossible to express our regret at the departure of our super- intendent, Glenn C. Harris, who, since his School in 1923, has won for himself, hy his greetings and unobtrusiveness, a eherished students and townspeople. arrival at Hamburg High never failing smile, kindly place in the hearts of both Le 'QP' .tg 'Q if u 'gill ., Z , .j remain of the most praiseworthy High School, will always The achievements of this man, some developments in the history of Hamburg as monuments to his unquestionable ability. Under his guidance the weekly Friday morning assemblies were originated. He suggested and carried out the well-known and celebrated one- session sehoolday. Mr. Harris may well be called the father of our sc-hool for it was under his careful supervision that this structure was erected and equipped. lt was through his influence that one of the most popular branches of the school curriculum, the commereial department, was originated in 1925. His sense of justice prompted him to enforce the prohibition of the presentation of blank diplomas to students unqualified for gradna' tion. He also secured the provision of a school nurse and regular elinies for the pupils of Hamburg schools, But the little deeds of kindness and helpfulness, which he has done for us, are acts that are esteemed by everyone whom he has under his eharge: VVhen we were disheartened he encouraged usg VVhen we wished to drop subjects he talked to us and inspired us tobrace up and work all the more iudustriouslyg VVhen we succeeded he always congratulated us heartily and told ns that he had been quite confident that we could accomplish the task, His delight at our sueeess was a greater recompense than any tem- poral reward 5 lf we committed any wrong, he showed us wherein we had erred but never became angry or impatient with us, He always looked upon our social and athletie activities with a favoring smile and a. generous disposition, lf, at any time during our course, we could not decide what path to take, we always found Mr. Harris, standing at the cross-roads like a sign post, pointing in the direction which he thought best for us. Just so, he has gone through difficult situations during the past four years with perseverance, patience and calmness. V And so, in bidding farewell, we give to Mr. Harris our fondest apprecia- tion. His reserved disposition, the unassuming manner in which he allows others to receive the credit for his aehievements, and his sincere friendship for his pupils will ever remain in our memories. t l 7 i SENIOR ANNUAL 1927 FRANK N.

The success of these demonstrations has done much to raise in the minds of school patrons, the estimates of the accomplishments of the various departments. The League, through its Student Activities Committee, has rendered real service to the student activities. ln order to stimulate interest in, and provide opportunity for a greater number to take part in basketball, a splendid trophy was given to the school to promote inter-class basketball. A tennis cup has also been provided to encourage participation in the game of tennis. In addition to these gifts are those presented with the purpose in mind of enhancing the beauty of the new building. Two Persian mats for the splendid tables presented to the school by the XVomen's Club and the two decorative urns which complete the ensemble are also lasting reminders of the Home and School League. Best of all were the personal contacts which came through the furnishing of transportation for various out-of-town games and the services of chaperones, patrons and patronesses for student activities. lt has been suggested by some members of the League that it would be a fine thing for the League and the school it the student body had some represen- tation on the executive committees of the organization.

Cuamazs Roosix illltflll To the Seniors of 't1Sl2T Hamburg High School, Hamburg, N. Y. The Aluinni Association of the Hainburg High School wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the Senior Class of 1927. During the past four years your various achieveinents have been noted with considerable pleasure and are a credit, not only to you, as a senior class, but set an example for the entire student body, upholding the standards of our Alina Mater, which will ever be dear to our nieinories. Many students, however, are satisfied to the extent of their graduation, breathing a sigh of relief, thinking their duties and responsibilities are over so far as the High School is concerned, but, thanks to some of our former grad- uates, who realize the importance of keeping in touch with the activities of our school and the fostering of the school spirit, this Alunini Association was founded. Many things have been accomplished by the Association. You are all familiar with the prize speaking contest and the benefits derived by the students, not alone by the prizes, but by the opportunity it affords every contestant and the tendency to raise the inarks of all the students. 18 SENIOR ANNUAL 1927 The Association is planning to raise a scholarship fund, this to be offered to some needy member of each senior class. Definite arrangements have not been made, but we are in hopes, with the help of the senior class of 1927, and the Alumni, to formulate plans to raise one hundred dollars a year to be awarded for this purpose. You can readily realize the importance of the Association and your duty to help. Vtle therefore eorclially invite you to become a member and lend your assistance. The fees are nominal. The clues are iifty cents a year, or Ten dollars will make you a life member. The annual meeting will be held after the Class Day exercises. We trust you will consider this very seriously, as we need your assistance. Vile also wish to remind the members of the Alumni to attend our annual meet- ing, to welcome our new members and wish them every success on their life journey. Cordially Yours, Hamburg .High Sehool Alumni, GEO. A. MARSHALL, JR., President. Hamburg, N Y., April 6, 1927, Speaking Contest The Alumni Speaking Contest held last year was a decided success. Some of the best talent in the school took part. The judges had a very hard time deciding upon the winners but tinally decided upon Norman MacDonald as iirst for the boys, and Frances Ruttner tirst for the girls, Alton Hauck second for the boys and Mary Louese Goodale second for the girls. The contest was well attended. This year contest will be just as good as the one last year. lt will certainly be hard-fought. The contestants are as follows: FRESHMAN CLASS Viola McClelland John Foster SOPHOMORE CLASS l.ou Angeline Leonard John Kleis JUNIOR CLASS Lillian Horton Maurice liley SENIOR CLASS lola Tillner Richard Meyer As you all know. the contestants are the ones with the highest averages in their respective English elasses. This method of choosing is not always the best because a pupil who has the highest rating in written English may not always be a. good speaker, while one ,just a few points below may be an eloquent speaker. The better way to choose these speakers for the annual Contest would be to give one a. try-out. That is, to have a preliminary contest into which all are eligible to enter. The winners of this preliminary eontest would then be eligible for the Prize Speaking Contest. lt is hoped that the Alumni Association will make this change soon so that more high school people may receive the benefit of the training.

V They have traversed the path from obscurity to fame in the customary four years. Strange to say it has uot been the work of a few alone to make this class so famous. lt has taken years of co-operation to accomplish for ourselves such marked success. We are proud to say that each one has done his bit in making the Class of '27 a leader among all classes 'We have never lacked in school spirit and have always been ready to help other classes in their activities as well as the townspeople in their business enter- priscs. So it is with great pride that we set before your eyes this illustrious group of students, who comprise the Senior tllass of '27, and some of their work.

I have written faithfully in it an account of each school activity as it has seemed to me and I now lay its leaves open for others to peruse. November 4, 1926 Dear Diary: We went to a jolly entertainment given by the Sophomores this afternoon. Games were played in the music room. You should have seen some of our digniiied Seniors. The way they tlirted with those kids was shocking. The Senior girls even encouraged the advances of boys in knee trousers. The way Norman MacDonald and Natalie Taylor carried on was really quite disconcerting to more digniiied Seniors. The leaders of this Koo Koo Konference, the purpose of which was to raise funds for the Sophomore class and, especially, to have a good time, were Norman MacDonald and John Kronenberg, both of whom were under the direc- tion of Miss Sanborn. November 21, 1926 Dear Diary: Had the nicest time this afternoon at another Koo Koo Konferencej' as the Sophomores call their entertainments. The principal part of the program was a clever minstrcl show. And Diary, who do you think was one of the best minstrels? Casey Weiss! I never knew before that Casey had such talented qualities. January 24, 1927 Dear Diary: I have just returned from a bi-monthly meeting of the Societ.as Honorisf' This is a very interesting and beneficial club. Seniors take a great deal of pride in their aceomplisliments in this club, which is for the purpose of develop- ing ability in debating, parliamentary law and public speaking. Only honor students may belong to this elub so 1 am quite proud of an opportunity to be a member. To night Mr. Drake gave a reading from 'tThe Private Secretary. February 11, 1927 Hello Diary: We just got home from the most enjoyable dance. lt was the Sophomore Hop, in honor of St. Valentine's Day. The gymnasium was decorated with hearts. The lights were covered with red crepe paper, this casting a rosy glow over everything. We danced to wonderful music played by Lee Hoth's orchestra. It was the iirst time 1 had seen Maurice Bley take Joyce Higgins to a dance. Miss Sanborn was the life of the dance, helping her Sophomores in every possible and necessary way. The generous support of many of the townspeople made this dance a great financial success. March 17, 1927 Dear Diary: Well, Clarence certainly was a credit to the Seniors. It was an interest- ing play, well acted by the Senior cast and greatly appreciated by a large audience. SENIOR ANNUAL 1927 37 The members of the east were: Loretta Dudley as t'Violet Pinney, as sweet a heroine as ever could be found, Marvin Sehwert as UClarenee, the hero, an ex-soldier Cwith a troublesome liverj but really a lovable baohelorg Dorothy Blaeking as HCora, the flapper, a part to which she seemed to be Well suited, Robert Boe, as t'lVIr. Wl1eeler, the business man, and Frances Rutfner, as Mrs. VVheeler, Richard Meyer, as HBobby Wl1eeler, one of the stars of the play, lola Tillner as t'Della, the Irish maid, and Harold Kassel as Dinvviddie,', the butler. They all adapted themselves easily to their unusual and difficult parts. The acting' of Walter' Walte1's as HHubert Stem, the villain, could not have been surpassed. Much eredit is due Mrs. Doininski for her expert and capable directing. Good-bye, Little Diary: I ani graduating from Hamburg High School in June. This has been a happy eventful year.

II. Yanljuzee Editor' of The Erie County Independent. 7 The purpose of the organization is two foldg to interest the students in newspaper work and journalistic opportunities and to keep the townspeople well informed concerning the sehool activities through the medium of the High School Notes which are found in the weekly edition of The Erie County lnde- pendent. Since its beginning the elub has grown steadily and it is now composed of about thirty-live aetive members, some of whom have become quite adept in journalism. The officers of the elub are: ElZ'I'f0V-fill-Cll'ff3f' . . . . lX'I,xRv1N Sei-twnlri' Assistamt Editor . . JOHN Knox nnisnao Secretatry . . GRETCHEN SCHULZ ln addition numerous sub-editors are ehosen to act during specified intervals of the school year. . It is hoped that this club will be continued in the following years and that those who follow will reeeive as mueh pleasure and benefit as those who have done the newspaper work this year. YVe especially thank Mr. Vanlluzee for the interest and help which he has given to this club. Tun Socimuxs Honoins For the first time in many years an honor society has been formed in Ham- burg High School this year. All high school students whose names are on the Honor Rolls of the high school are eligible for membership provided the candi- dates keep their names there for two eonseeutive months and then maintain an average equal to that of those two months. The Societas Honoris meets twiee a month on the second and on the fourth Mondays at seven o'eloek P. M. in the high sehool library. The programs consist of parliamentary drills, debating. public speaking, after dinner speaking and dramatics. Many interesting programs have taken place this year. One of the most pleasant was a reading of HThe Private Secrctaryn given by Mr. Drake. This humorous recitation kept the audience in gales of laughter all the evening. Another good program was the debate in assembly on the question: Resolved, That Oriental immigrants should be adnntted to United States on the same teirins as the European immigrant. .ln this debate Marvin Schwert, John Lester, linierson Learn and Helen Downing took the affirmative and Lillian Horton, Richard Meyer, Frances Ruffner, and Maurice Bley upheld the negative. The negative side won. SENIOR ANNUAL 1927 39 Mr. and Mrs. Simmons are the advisers of the club at present and Miss Calkins has given the club her support since it was organized. Mr. Harris has acted as critic several times. Those students who are members of the Societas Honoris are especially fortunate in being able to meet people of note who visit our sehool. The org'anization is to be a permanent one, the students who are members at the close of school in June being' the ones who will forni the club next year. The Seniors have been enthusiastic supporters of thc club from the beginning and they feel quite proud to have had a large representation among' the charter members. THE YVVASIIINGTON Tnuf The event for which the Seniors have planned for four years has come and gone. Gone? Did we say? The memories and impressions of that trip will always be with us. There has been some criticism of the VVashing'ton project lately on the ground that it distracted from the regular school work but we who went know that the trip was the one great experience of our four' years in high school. All that we have learned in books we eould have gotten at home in our own studies. perhaps, had we been permitted to do so, but the things we learned on that trip were invaluable and could have been gotten in no other manner. The memories of those tive short days will ever remain in our hearts as the happiest of all We have spent together. Mr. Loth chaperone for the boys, and Miss Crowley for the girls were pleasant companions and capably led us through the intricacies ot our nation 's capital. lVe hope their memories of the trip will always he as pleasant as are ours. Vito thank all the teachers, pupils, and townspeople who Hlent a. hand in preparing' us to go. Tum Tnanic ,xr Homin CoN'rics'r ,ln connection with the Senior Annual this year a poster contest and an essay contest were arranged by the Senior Class. Miss Harriet Googlale, 730, won the first prize of ten dollars on her essay. Miss Helen MacKenzie, 330, Won second place and Edward McTagg'art, '29, won third place. ln the poster con- test John Kronenberg won both tirst and second places, receiving a sweater from the Hamluirg Department Store. and tive dollars from the Senior Class. Eugene Thorpe, '30, received third place in the poster contest. Senior Essays Senior Essays are being written. This year the, fourth year English classes may choose such subjects as they feel will be of advantage to each of them personally, when he or shc goes out into the world. Much reading' has to be done and books are ordered from Albany State Library and also from the Butitalo Public Library. The six best essays are read at Connnencement each year. Last year the essays were much enjoyed by the puhlic. Vile trust that those read this year will again be pleasing' to the audience. 40 SENIOR ANNUAL 1927 The History of the Class of 1927 In this brief history of the Class of 1927 we wish, in chronological order, to narrate some of thc important events which have formed our high school career. In such a short account it is impossible to relate all our achievements or all our mistakes. ln September of 1923 we began our experience under the guidance of MPa Swift. The upper classmen made us feel quite conscious of our insignificance by their condescending manner and by their undue attention to our mistakes. The biggest problem that confronted us, except mastering Latin, was realizing that we were no longer children. No freshman task was easy, but after' weeks of hard hghting, we accomplished our undertakings, our class becoming Latin stars almost without exception. Cla.ss meetings were held and after many deliberations on the subject the following officers were elected: President, Brownell Church, Vice-President, Natalie Taylor, Secretary, Grace Hill, and Treasurer, Richard Meyer. The fall and winter terms were spent in uneventful freshman life. Then, with Spring, came the one important event of the year-our Freshman Class Day. And thus we departed from the stage of obscurity, proud that we were Sophomores and could dictate to our inferiors as a retribution for what we had suffered the year before. After the first Vacation we returned greatly reduced in numbers. That year, or the beginning of the second lap, we progressed rapidly. At our first class meeting of the year, Brownell Church was re-elected President, Lenore Kirk was elected 'Vice-President, Muriel llraudt, Secretary, and Robert Boe, Treasurer. The first big event of that season was the Sophomore Carnival, a very successful affair, thanks to the assistance of Miss Sanborn. We were the first class to invest our money in bonds and the wisdom of this act was recognized immediately and all subsequent have followed in this matter. That year the Sophomore Basketball Team was superior to all other class teams at all times. VVinning five straight victories, the Sophomores were declared champions of the lnterclass Basketball Meet. ln the Spring of the year, Lawrence Hadley, representing our class, won second prize in the speaking contest. Last but not least came the Sophomore Hop. This proved to be the most successful Hop held in several years and the proceeds from it were turned over to the Seniors. A Then having passed our examinations, we entered the third stage in our high school course with Robert Boe as President, Loretta Dudley, Vice-President, .lola Tillner, Secretary, and Emerson Learn, Treasurer. This year was our iirst year in the new school building. Here we began to realize the greatness of our institution. During this year Marvin Sehwert received honors at Alfred by winning the first prize in the speaking contest held there. Also, Frances Ruffner won first prize at the Alumni Speaking Contest. As is customary in the Junior Year, we gave a play. This was Exper- ience by George Hobart. Two dances were held that Spring, the May Dance and the Junior Prom, the latter in honor of the Seniors. NVe were then well on our way toward the realization of the cherished hope of our high school days. Last September saw us as Seniors, digniiied, as the name would indicate. Under the guidance of Mrs. Simmons and our worthy officers: President, Robert Boe, Vice-President, Loretta Dudley, Secretary, lola Tillner, and Treasurer, NValter lValters, we have accomplished a great many undertakings. SENIOR ANNUAL 1927 41 Some of our many successful undertakings of this year were: the sale of magazines for the Washington Trip fund, social dances after the basketball games, our remarkable play t'Clarence, the winning of the Boys' lnterclass Basketball League Championship, the Trade at Home Contest, the Senior Card Party, and finally, the publication of our Senior Annual. VVe are very proud to say that our worthy Editor-in-Chief, Marvin Schwert, is one of the first students from Hamburg High School ever to be admitted to the New York State Honor Society. The culmination of our fondest hopes was our trip to NVashington. Now, as we are approaching graduation, we feel that we have been in every way successful in all that we ha.ve undertaken. The whole High School has been benefited by our inspiring inHuence and our departure will leave a void that will be practically impossible to fill. But enough of our achievements- we must speak of the place Hamburg High School holds in our hearts. lt will always be our ambition in our future years to justify the confidence she has placed in us and we will devote our lives to this end. Looking back over the four happy years we have spent under her guidance and within the protection of her walls, recalling the many happy hours we have spent in work and play, we cannot help regretting that our career here together is almost over and we shall soon be separated, each pursuing his chosen course. .Class Prophecy The raging storm beat heavily on the broad glass panes, as l settled myself comfortably in my arm chair in front of the inviting flame. Before me was my leather bound copy of 'tAn.thony and Cleopatra. l read on hour after hour. The clock struck two and l closed the book and arose to dim the lights. As l turned, my eye glanced at the evening paper and caught the word HEgypt -t'New Excavations in Egyptw-'tProfessor M. Sehwert finds new riches in Karnakf' Schwert-Schwert-Schwert-Marvin Schwert. VVhy, he was the fellow with the big voice back in the old high school. l should like to see that fellow again-but Egypt! VVhy, that all right-thatis just what l need for the background for my new novel. ,ll can sail in a week. A month later li made a trip up the Nile on the way to Karnak. Day after day new material came to hand for my novel. As we neared Karnak on one of these eventful days, a. terrific storm sud- denly arose. Before we could encamp a friend and l were borne away by the force of the storm and swept we knew not where. VVhen the storm subsided we found ourselves near the mighty columns of a deserted temple. Exhausted by the storm, we remained several days there. Daily We found new interest in the massive pillars, the gorgeous colorings, the ancient inscrip- tions and the queer drawings. One evening toward dusk we sat down on a huge overturned slab of polished stone, and ate a scanty meal of dates. The extraordinary impressiveness of our surroundings overawed us. VVe ate in silence. As the majestic night's black wings closed swiftly around the ruins of a once powerful race, a feeling of ancient superstitionfof vague unrest seemed to hover about us. Once again the mighty halls seemed to echo with the firm tread of marching feet. Suddenly we realized that footsteps were actually approaching us. In the dim distance we saw a flicker of light drawing closer and closer. Soon we were able to discern the forms of two men, one garbed as an Egyptian priest, the other a grim Pharoah of earlier days. As they approached, we drew back and, horror stricken, watched them turn over the 4-2 SENlOR ANNUAL 1927 slab from which we had just arisen. We closely watched their every 1noven1ent and saw the priest with a shaking talon-like hand, tracing a time worn series of hieroglyphics. Then the men went as they had come. NVhen morning arrived we became aware that this nocturnal visit had some particular message for us. VVorn out with our night 's experience we fell asleep on the very stone in which we had so recently become interested. VVe were awakened by the shouts of a party of excavators. 'I' arose to find myself face to face with the very man who had started me otf on this journey. NVe immediately laid our mysterious adventure before him. He knelt to examine the slab. He rapidly scribbled something in his notebook and, uttering exclama- tions, hc finally read aloud to us: ttAlmighty lsis in great benevolence has revealed to me many strange and wonderful things which shall come to pass long after our race has vanished from the earth. Across the seas in a far country there shall spring forth a mighty people. 'fAmong these shall be a great poet, who shall be called Edward Schweikardt, whose fame shall spread to the ends of the earth, and a great philosopher, who shall he called Herbert Short, whose teachings shall astonish the world, and one llorothy Blacking shall be a famed musician. ttAlso one, Glad Burgeni, shall be hailed by her followers as tPresident of the G-irl Scout Organization of the VVorld'. t'One priest, a Raymond Sipprell, shall come forth leading a. little band, among whom shall be an Adaline Milks and one James Flenniken. Behold Frances Rutfner, the mighty leader of the Amazons. HOhl l say, wonders will never cease. A great Latin Professor, one Paul Evans, shall amaze the world with his teachings. Three great missionaries, E. Kleinfelder, Bertha Duff and Helen Froehley, shall travel to ditferent lands and make famous their native city. The illustrious Rachael Clark together with Allen Brossman shall set the world afire with her wisdom. VVandering minstrels there shall be: one Jean Turner, one Natalia Reitier and one 'lola Tillner. One Emerson Learn and a damsel called May shall become the most fiery orators of their day. A Professor of Archaeology, one Frieda Meyer, shall rebuild the Ancient ruins of forgotten peoples and a Harold Kassel shall go to the far away Indies, a teacher of the Hindoos. A Bartlett and an Agle, both by the name of Clara, shall heal the feet of man by their most worthy knowledge of Chiropody. One Helen Sprissler shall teach others by her mistakes how to best enjoy life. There shall be two most excellent physicians, one Robert Boe and one Richard Meyer. One shall pursue the bugs of the earth to their dusty haunts, an entomologist, a world authority on the Coleoptera, together with a Loretta Dudley, the world's most famous Chiropractor, shall be heralded by men. Bat- taglia and Hadley, celebrated navigators of the air, whose names shall go down in the annals of History, shall discover a new continent beyond the North Pole.

Marvin's voice trailed into silence and l, overawed by these extraordinary disclosures which, by the way, were afterwards, in the greater part, ascertained to be correct, could only gasp and then gasp again.

Before the advent of the orchestra the entrance of the students on assembly mornings, while not disorderly, was certainly devoid of life or Hpepf' However, when the music came to the ears of the pupils as they marched there was hardly one who did not respond and swing into step. The splendid Work made everyone appreciate Miss Skinner the more. The assembly was not the only place Where the orchestra was heard. It played for M Clarence, given by the seniors, Kempy, given by the Hamburg players and other school and community affairs. CHERRY BLOSSOM Wi11ter may come And summer depart Still Cherry Blossom You ha.ve my heart. What a success it all Was! HCherry Blossom, a musical comedy given by the Glee Clubs of Hamburg High School, was said to be the best play of its kind ever given in this school. Of course, who could help but fall in love with the charming leading lady, Mildred N orth? Allen Brossman made such a gallant lover that none could help but admire him. As for the comedian of the play, who else could have taken the part as Raymond Sipprell took it? The produc- tion, aided by the Well-trained choruses, artistic lighting and dainty stage setting made an enjoyable evening for all present. We all realize the amount of excellent Work done by the directors and appreciate their perseverance in helping us so willingly.

A magic Word, the word that should be the most important in every girlls life. You who know very little about it, eome down to Room Seventeen any time of the day. You can see busy hands, some sewing, some cooking. The rooms are kept in neat order to teach the girls the way to keep their homes. Many interesting experiments are carried on in this department sueh as the study of ealories and of dieting. In the Senior llomemaking Class, ehild eare is one ofthe important topics. One Hamburg mother was kind enough to bring her small ehild to school and show the girls how to dress and properly eare for a ehild of one year. The subject of Homemaking deals with woman's most natural oeeupation, therefore every girl should be interested in it. 56 SENHUR ANNUAL 1927 COOIUNG CLASS Cafeteria In close eonneetion with the Hoinenuaking Department is the Cafeteria which gives the girls a ehanee to apply the theories taught in the Hoineinaking course. Miss Davison and Miss Barnes, Honiemaking teachers, do a great deal to help the successful progress of the cafeteria. lt is through their careful plan- ning that sueh appetizing and nutritious meals are served. Mrs. Ella Colvin eo-operates with these teachers in preparing the food which is served in the eafeteria. Although Mrs. Colvin has a great deal of work to do, she is always ready to do us a favor and to help in school enterprises. At this time we should like to extend to our eafeteria, workers our most sincere thanks and appreeiation for they are the ones who ring the dinner bell sunnnoning us to the most popular period of the day-the fifth or luneh period.

One of the aetresses in the play, HClar- enee,'7 was unfortunate enough to lose one of her beautiful ten-eent ear-rings, consequently she was oblified to wear only one until the other was found. Later in the day one of tl1e Senior boys appeared wearing the other ear- ring. ln a few days, this one ear-ring style was followed by many of the Hfellown stu- dents. eww 17 1' ll , ,X X 1 i + ir i x D , ,f ii, 7 'l'Hl'l ONl'l-EARRING STYLE -ii l 7 Hl'3rownie Church heard about the war in China one day so he appeared in a somewhat mixed and 446' O dilapidated uniform consisting of an outworn eoat illl'4l'sLl1,lj of the Boy Scout order, a pair of once-white duek ' , ,kai trousers, and a sailor hat mueh too small for sueh W a eomprehensive head as iiBT'fJW1ll9lS.i' He explained -. ,kj that he wore his uniform so that he would be ready Q ,yxfrf to go to Shanghai at onee should he be needed.

The boys all tried it. Edward MaeTaggart QUpper left illustra- tionj found it a bit too small and wore it at a jaunty angle. Henry Moddiek fUpper rightj almost disappeared from sight, Eugene Bennett's ears suffered a partial eclipse as shown in the lower left illustra- tion, and the only one who really looked too swagger for words was Paul Evans CLower right illustrationj, who wore the derby nearly a week, it is said, beeause he was so high headed about it that no one was able to get it away from him. At last Mr. Zurbriek appropriated the derby and since then it has not a.ppeared in Ham- burg but Robert Bee says he saw the prof. with a derby on in Buffalo reeently. 9 45.21 5, 9 vs Q L fa J 1 l U 1 'N ? 2' Q 1.

FOOTBA LL, '27 SENIOR ANNUAL 1927 61 Football ,lu spite of the fact that each year some sort of football is attempted in Haiulaurg High School and that each year sees the development of some good players, it seems to he impossible to put out at winning team. A lack of both iiiterest and 11iz1.tc1'ial is the cause for this unsuccessful football team. The team this year, though iuexperieiiced, showed up well on some occasions. However, Haiulaiirg' was outcleissed at Kenuiore, lizxiicaster, and the Tholilas ludiau School, but the season ended with a splendid victory over our traditional rival, Alden High School. The team was captaiued by Edward Schweikardt and coached by Mr. Howe.

Success crowned the Hamburg High School Girls' Team this past year of 15126-27. The championship of Southern Erie County League, including Orchard Park, Springville, Angola, Blasdell and Hamburg was won by the Hamburg girls this year. Although for the past few years Hamburg has held second and third places, this year, for the first time in several years, our team was decisively the champion. Two defeats were suffered, one at the hands of Angola, and the other at the hands of Springville. However, these defeats eould be called partial victories for they showed the weaknesses of the team and these defaults were remedied as far as possible by co-operation and teamwork. One of the outstanding characteristics of this year's team was its unity. There was no individualism, no one-man playing, but there was good organiza- tion. Every team played by Hamburg this year suffered at least one defeat from our team. Orchard Park, Blasdell and Springville girls were defeated twice and Angola and Depew once. As usual Springville and Hamburg-old rivals- were both near the top of the league. This year they were tied for first place at the close of the season. ln the deciding game played at Orchard Park the Purple and VVhite team showed its real spirit and ability with an overwhelming score over its opponents. Vtlho is responsible for the teamwork and unity and therefore for the success of this year's team? Miss Konesik, the coach. lt is due to her faithful- ness, determination and excellent training that the laurels are worn by Hamburg this year. Miss Konesik and members of the girls' team spent four nights a week from October to March in practising and drilling. It is an honor to play on and to coach a successful team, but it is a hard and well earned honor. The following girls were awarded the HU: Captain, Roberta Treneerg Manager, Muriel Draudt, Alice Roosa, Marie Crowe, Evelyn VVilson, Freida Meyer, Harriet Richardson, Estella BeVier, Lillian Horton and Helene Gressman.

BOYS' BASKETBALL, '27 SENIOR ANNUAL 1927 65 Basketball, 1926-1927 Hamburg High School had a very successful basketball season although a single veteran of last year's five returned for the 1926-27 season. Hamburg won every game played on the home court, defeating every team in the league, as well as several other worthy opponents. On the road the team did not. fare so well losing to Nichols, Kenmore, Technical High School, East Aurora, Springville Hlld Blasdell, Hlld defeating Angola and Orchard Park. The team won third place in the league standing. The Learn brothers la fed regularly at the two forward nositions. Emerson p 5 s . 1 Learn, the capable Captain of the team, proved to be one of the fastest forwards in the league. His speed, and his accuracy in shooting helped to keep Hamburg in the running in all of the games and was an im ortant factor in all of the . . E 6 victories. Marshall Learn, Captain-elect of the 1927-28 team, played a good steady floor game throughout the season and was not far behind his brother in scoring. His gameness and lighting spirit won for him the respect of every member of the squad and of those who followed the team. Stark, the elongated center, found little difficulty in controlling the tip-off in most of the games and always gave the opposing defense considerable trouble to hold him in check. Bondelow was, perhaps, the most experienced man on the team and was of great value at his regular guard position and substitute center. Lester at the other guard position helped to form a defense which held the opposing forwards well in check. Henfferer layed well at a regular guard Josition in the earlv season games. 2: . U u l e n Sehwert and Moddick deserve credit for their work in substitute roles. VVittman, Church, Hadley and Battaglia worked hard throughout the year and performed an invaluable service to the team. The prospect for the 1927-28 season is exceedingly bright, for the team will lose but one regular through graduation.

GIRLS' IX'l'I'IRWCl',AHS BASKI'I'l'BALT,, 'La BOYS' INTERCLASS BASKETBALL, '2 SENIOR ANNUAL 15327 67 lnterclass Basketball Along with the introduction of new things in Hamburg High School comes the beginning of class competition in basketball. There were many purposes in introducing interclass basketball in the school. One of the principal reasons was the desire to allow 1nore pupils to have the opportunity to participate in this type of athletics, thus giving experience and developing material for the regular varsity teams. The winning girls, and boys' teams each year have their numerals on the Home a.nd School League trophy. Jirls' lnterclass Basketball The girls' interclass competition resulted in a close race between the Juniors and the Sophomores. Not until the final game of the season, when the Sophs showed their superiority to the Junior team, was the result of the league games certain. The following are the members of the various teams: Sophomores: Captain BeVier, Treneer, VVilson, Gressman, Higgins, Thomp- son, VVeiss, lmboden, Leonard, Mountain, Clarke, Mueller. Seniors: Captain Meyer, Froehley, Taylor, Sprissler, Rieiier, Dudley, Agle, Draudt, Jones. Juniors: Captain Crowe, Roosa, Thomas, Croop, Gross, Fisher, Agle, Horton, Downing, Goodale. Freshmen: Captain Richardson, Maclienize, McAllister, Hines, Meyer, Clarkson, Coe, McClelland.

The game between these two teams was the outstanding contest of the league sehedule. Had not the Juniors been handicapped by the absence of their captain, Marshall Learn, they would have given the Seniors a harder fight. The members of the various teams were as follows: Seniors: Captain E. Learn, Hadley, Sehwert, Evans, Battaglia, Bondelow. Juniors: Captain M. Learn, Bennett, Lester, Stark, Church, 1Vittman. Sophomores: Captain Moddiek, MacDonald, Perrin, Potter, Inskip, VV. Luxford.

Probably the reason for sneh favoritism is the success of former baseball teams turned out by the sehool. Last year the team not only made a good showing' with other sehool teams but made a stand against the other teams of the town. A most eomplete schedule has been arranged for this season.

This year there will be three meetsg one to be held at Gowanda on May fourteenth, one at East Aurora on May twentieth at the Field Day Exercises. On June fourth, the annual county meet will be held at Crystal Beach. Last year our team proved its strength by winning the meet by the score of 9125 points with the nearest competitive school scoring only 42 points. Although there arc only a few letter men back, from the material out for the team many winners may develop. The coach is Mr. Howe and the Captain is Brownell Church. Girls, Track Last year 's Track Team from Hamburg High was certainly a success. The girls took part in the big Crystal Beach Track Meet. in which girls from Lan- caster, East Aurora, Angola, Blasdell, West Seneca, Kenmore and Lackawanna also participated. Hamlnirg girls captured a place in every event of this annual track meet for 1926.

Boys Tennis - This is the first year' that tennis has been added to the list of sports at llainhurg High School. Last year, Marshall Learn was the winner of a silver loving cup as a result of his victory in the boys' tennis competition. However, the tennis stars of the school indulged in no interscholastic competition. This year, tournaments will he arranged with other high schools in the vicinity of Hamburg. Since the interest of many students is attracted by this sport, there is no reason why a good tennis team cannot be formed by the boys of Hamburg High School. ,VVith such stars as the llearn brothers and Vklilliam Dugan, Hamburg will be able to compete with 'in ' neie'hbor'nfr hi0'h s-hool tennis,.,team. rs fd 2: la ca L Marshall Learn is the manager ot the 1927 boys' tennis team. As yet no captain has been chosen trom among the team members. Girls' Tennis Last spring, in llamlnirg High School, interest was shown in tennis, when Miss Konesik suggested a team. So, after all the girls interested in the sport played olt a tournament, the six who proved themselves tl1e most apt with the racquet were othcially announced as the Girls' Tennis Team of '26, They immediately brought more honor and glory to Hamburg High School by defeat- ing East Aurora, in a tournament, and Ubringing home the haeoni' in the shape of a cup. which was ottered by the two schools, jointly. Such a good beginning in a good sport is not to be abandoned. Early in March, 1927, the girls interested in tennis were again summoned before Miss Konesilc to arouse spirit and we are told, this year tennis will come into its own as a major sport. Already the girls have elected their captain and manager in the persons of -loyee Higgins and Frances Huttner, ixspectively. Manager Rultner has taken over responsibilities and is corresponding with other schools concerning a tournament between the schools in this part of the country and the possibilities of another cup.

' 72 SENIOR ANNUAL 1927 Athletic Association To create more school spirit and support in athletic contests an athletic association was organized in thc high school. Every pupil in the Senior High School was eligible for membership. The membership fee was fifty cents and a n1embership card was presented on payment of entrance fee. The membership entitled the holder to be admitted to one non-league game free of charge also entitling each member to purchase a season ticket for 351.00 thus saving one- tifth of the regular cost for admission to games. Whenever it is necessary to make a decision concerning athletics the athletic council is called. This council consists of two members from each class, the two coaches, the Senior and Junior High School principals, and one member chosen from the faculty at large to sit in these meetings. The officers for the Athletic Association for 1927 arc: President . . . EDWARD SCHNVEIKARDT VTC367--17'l'6'S'ld87lt .... . . . . Amon RoosA Secretary and Treasurer . . MR. A. Li.
