L- Q -QU- TRADITIONALLY blue-jacketed monitors have aided in the maintenance of order in Lafayette. Supervised by Mr. Himrnele, the organization is headed by a council of ten squad leaders: Doris Graves, Ioan Desbecker, Ann Bank- ard, Marjorie Frisbee, Mary Ann Dowd, Hugh Kennedy, Willard Tornow, Iohn Grant, loseph D'Angelo and George Crofts. These people, chosen by Mr. Himmele, have the supervision of their respective squads. Aside from their monitorial duties, this year the organization has spon- sored two assemblies. In the fall they procured Iim Britt, the sportscaster, for an interesting football assembly: two monitors from each of the other high schools were invited. The reunion of the New York State Basketball Champion- ship Teams of 1924 and 1925 highlighted the spring assembly held in the honor of Lincoln. Social occasions also provide an outlet for the monitors' inexhaustible supply of energy, Scott's roller rink, jammed with students, was the setting for their very successful roller skating parties in the fall and early spring. Not satisfied with the hazards of the roller rink, some of these monitors braved the wintry blasts on a toboggan party, attracted, perhaps, by the free refreshments.

Solving the problems of the near future will require all the tact and clear thought anyone may bring to bear. l so sincerely trust that Lafayette has somehow in these four years pro- vided you with a sturdy foundation for successful citi- zenship in its expressed ideals of Loyalty, Honor and Service. How greatly our country needs the kind of Loyalty which is built on an abiding faith in its basic principles of Democracy! How vitally a deep sense of Honor must control all our domestic and foreign rela- tions! How surely for the ultimate safety of these United States must We actually put into practice the ideal of Service by a Willingness to give rather than get! We bid you Godspeed in the hope that you Will Be Strong and of a Good Courage in the society of tomorrow. FRANK R. GOTT.

Her slogan, Loyalty, Honor, Service, is my choicest heritage. The very building, the ivy that clings to the walls with true Lafayette devotion is mine to love and to cherish. l resolve never to let my heritage become less: never to let, through care- less deed of mine, that spirit be weakened, those ideals lowered, those tradi- tions shattered. Loyalty, Honor, Service, shall be my watchwords. Never shall hand of mine defame the shining beauty of this building. Rather will I with love and care increase the heritage l have received and hand it down to those who follow me, enriched and strengthened by my use. Mary Hogan, Class of 1929. 48 WE of the 1939 graduating class extend to you, our friends, our sincere greetingsp From our first days in high school we have anticipated this occasion with a great deal of eagerness: We have planned and worked and arranged. The time has come, the program has been prepared. This is our Class Night, and we are happy to share it with you. There should be little sadness in our hearts tonight: for, although this is one of our last class functions, it is really the first time we have been able to act, not individually, but as a unified group, in which, after four years of cooperative effort, each student has come to know his fellow. We do not wish to think of coming to the fork in the road,-some of us taking the left branch, others turning off to the right,-some going straight through to a still higher education. We have all come from different directions,-different elementary schools, different homes: now the paths are just beginning to cross. And so we want rather to think of arriving at the nucleus of some great, many-pointed star, where we are gathered together, not scattered to the Four Winds. No one can know what Destiny has stored away for our future. Right now We are sailing in troubled waters: war threats seem ominous, our economic situation is not very bright: man's mind is weary. Yet we need not worry: we are not unprepared. Under the careful supervision of Mr. Gott and our teachers we have grown a little more discerning, a little more prudent, a little wiser. How can we fear when, instilled within us, we have that which says to us, -Be Strong and of a Good Courage? The ideals and traditions that belong to Lafayette, indicative of a great, encompassing spirit, inspire us tonight as they have always inspired us. The spot in our memories which will recall the happy hours spent in these halls and rooms shall never be erased. Loyalty, Honor, Service, having guided us for four years, will still be the motto to lead us onward and upward, until at last we reach our goal. alntatory 49 Uomedy of Error YQL. 1, -NO. 1, VISIBILITY LOW ALL FOR L.H.S. Our boys were by no means slow when it came to letting the coaches know that they had something. I. Culli- nan started out by shot put- ting in the Sports Club, while I. Beardsell was too big to be cut from the basket ball squad. I. Meyers and E. lfor Eugenei Chaplin got squad letters for bathing well in the pool. H. Kennedy was al- ready making points for La- fayette in track events and D. Cloak was hockey squad- ing all over the place. Rumor has it that the fellows trained by sprinting from the lockers to the upper gym non-stop! Some of the girls, in trying to attain the sleek, chic, and sleepy upper class appear- ance, became quite proficient at volley ball and swimming. The volleyballers include H. Adamska, B. Ader, A.

Gott and Himmele-have a good time, mind your teach- ers, do all your homework and you will never be sorry! Most of us were the kind of freshmen whom we today are marveling at and decry- ing. tThey are getting smaller every year! l'll bet some of them even do all their home- work! Look at those knickers -right out of that Boys' Shoppe ad!! Remember how we used to leave half our lunch while watching one of the senior officers look for a clam in the clam chowder, or talk his way out of being eiected for bursting a bag? sweaters could be buttoned down the back if they were 50 OUR GOINGS ON Who said that the S.P.C.A. roped off the attic stairway to prevent further cruelty to the entering class iusl? Our man, Blue Monday, tells us that the Men in White , washed the walls of the realm in the first year of our reign. How many of us pounded our heads against the wet green painted lockers after hearing the Music Goes Round for the scillionteenth time and a half? The attendance plaque that every one is afraid to look straight in the face was instituted in our reign too, so there. Did W. Tornow ever ex- plain about the paper dolls Miss DeViney found in his desk? Why did the boys climb in their lockers when the sprinkler let go ?

'36 - TUNE '37 HEAVY FOG TRY TO STOP US The class was proud and happy to have I. Beardsell, E. Haywood, and D. Ienkins still too big to be put off the team safely. We also boasted of W. Golfer McLean who spent half his energy swatting a small thing and the other half lugging a bag of tools to swat it again after he found it. W. Mack and H. Kennedy were again in track while W. Ken- yon was on the swift bathing squad. I. Lenzner tried to frighten I. tfor Killerl Cullinan, I. Gerow, and D. Ienkins into rowing their all, by hollering his good lung out at them through his combination can- ary cage and feeding funnel! M. Beck, after a tough fight, was named bat boy on our glorious baseball team! WHAT WE WORE The girls did not seem to enter into sports as enthusi- astically as when they were young and dumb. A bird told us that they had lost the un- desired weight at the Park tennis courts! How's about it S. Levy, B. Kevitt, and B. Katz? They preferred rather to sport dog-collar belts and bracelets and bald turbans made from old hair ribbons, socks, stockings, shoelaces, and hooked rugs, so there tool fCont. in column 3l gg 156 ll IL 9 ,2 DD .X ., 4K BUTCH BLISS 'Tis a tale told by an idiot -a senior, full of colloquialisms and 'foo', signifying nothingf' fApo!ogies to Shakespeare Q This is next year and we are eagerly snubbing our former grammar school ac- quaintances who are filling the depleted ranks of the freshman class and looking awed at some of our number whom we have left behind!

We are getting used to having the teachers around and we are less afraid of them now. Some of our more fortunate classmates even found that the faculty were human without having to stay after school every night for a week! But this is ancient history! So there! 5I COMIN GS OFF We were justly proud of the part that our class played in the success of Lelcxwala. Robert Leland, the male lead came from our ranks, as did I. Altschaft, E. Bradley, G. Hansel, W. Bradley, I. Palm- er, B. Davis, B. Greene, E. Guercio, W. McBride, G. Mossmond, B. Swados, and N. Lewis. The School of Practice swelled our roll as usual with G. Crofts, P. Clarke, E. Thomas, T. Hurst, F. Dibble, and others who easily recon- ciled the loss of a few of our number who were thrown by the exams. Yo-yos swept the school by storm and our classmates proved to be rabid expo- nents of round the world and spinning on the bottom, par- ticularly: R. Voisenet, H. Hamlin, B. Schultz, and A. tfor Sonnyl Silverstein. B. Kevitt, S. Gilden, and D. Rosenberg never could work them! We owe a vote of thanks to T. Clay, B. Hubbard, and W. Tornow for publicizing our class so thoroughly in the Triangle. It was during this year that beer jackets, looking like walking telephone books, made their appearance. They satisfied our suppress- ed desires to wear something dirty and get away with it. Love' Labor Lo t VOL- lf N9-Fm .E -E E. ROW YOUR BOAT Although most of the third year sophisticates were on the bench and in the rooting section, we had arrived defi- nitely. Mr. Himmele deigned to notice us while Mr. Gott looked at us with a worried expression. It was our debut. Football, basketball, swim- ming, tennis, and track all worried us, and the girls ac- tually began going to bas- ketball, baseball, and bad- minton practice. We had a good swimming team too. But it was the rowing crew that walked off with the prize. Remember Princeton? Ask I. Cullinan and D. Ienkins. All this was a build-up for the next year, when we ex- pected to collect all collect- able trophies and awards. STYLE'S THE THING We gaped at M. Stein- hardt's jinglinq in with bells ony I.

We watched Betty Katz, our prize chewer of gummer. We viewed the best efforts of Irving Good- man, Sam Muffoletto, and Fran Woodworth at the Buf- falo High School Exposition. We went to the Triangle Dance and watched our best foots-forward, Shirley Hay- man and Roger Donaldson. We patted ourselves on the back because we had a drag with the Triangle Biggoes , Willard Tornow, Hugh Ken- nedy, Tom Clay, and Doris Rosenberg. We churned about, starving While we voted for H. Kennedy, E. Bryans, G. Gundlach, and L. Hilson during our lunch periods. And last but not least, we produced Iunior Day, the program of which was aided by Bill McLean, Elvera Guercio, and Iohn Alt- schaft. ln short, the only outstand- ing event of l938 was the fact that the class of '39 were Iuniors now. usual saddles, plaid and pleated skirts: beige, the pre- vailing color: the pageboy hairdop and a million other odder-than-odd oddities. llll' Well That End Well VOL. 1, NO. 4 igh A MESS O'MUSCLE With I.

D. is at this time faced with the same objec- tives and ideals and the same problems which have confronted all other gradu- ates. In addition to four years of fun and our diploma, we have acquired a few bosom pals, whose personalities will fade after we leave the Old Plant . Although we might come back some day, the fascination will be gone: new faces will detract from old scenes: a perky fresh- man has our own special place in the cafeteria: and an invader has disturbed the peaceful mess that was once our locker. The Senior Class is now at a loss for words. There seems so little to say. We all feel in our hearts what we have gained in the years we have spent at Lafayette. S3 NAUGHT'S HAD But we're happy. Reason? Budget Books. A Budget Book is a thing which has tickets and en- ables everybody to go to all the school activities, abso- lutely freel It all starts out with people asking other people to sign something which says that the party of the first part promises to pay to the party of the second part so-much- and-so-much. Then the party of the second part asks the party of the third part to buy a yellow ticket so that the party of the fourth part can buy a green ticket and have enough left to buy an ice- cream lollipop. The party of the fifth part is left holding the bag. And so, while the party of the fifth part is thoroughly enioying his prize, and D. Graves gravely announces that people must have two green tickets or one yellow ticket to get one blue skating ticket, we dedicate to poster- ity the privilege of coping with this proverbial boon to humanity. shoes. It didn't take us long to fall in. Add a few other things like orchid lipstick and velvet bows and you've got something like a triple nut fudge strawberry sun- dae. TUNE 29th Half-frighted faces pace the platform bold, And bow, bright blushing, to the boisterous cheers That the thronged audience to victor rears. Fing'ring by flanneled side, with palm so strangely cold The scrap of foolscap, 'pon whose White is told In blazoned black of four fond struggling years CYearned years of joy, dewed Wet by this day's tears, Placed in diploma for the parting hand to hold? Each one steps down, his brief space's passage swift. Lost to them now, are the dear days of strifey Their flushed faces, which they lilting lift To pond'rous praise, must taste the sting of life. Thus must they march along the loud laudation, And hark the haunting joy-of graduation. Blass Poem 'lr 'lr 'ir 54 ONCE again the time has arrived for a graduating class to bid farewell to Lafayette. Though it is with regret that we seniors face the final depar- ture from teachers and friends, it is with both eagerness and curiosity that we look forward to becoming a real part in the life that lies before us. We cherish within us the realization that these four years of high school life have, in a great measure, prepared us for our new responsibilities. In looking back upon the memory-filled years, from the time we first entered the Old Plant as credulous, awe-inspired boys and girls to this very night when we are ready to leave the security of dependence and to try our wings as young men and women, we realize our great indebtedness to our teachers, to Mr. Gott, and to the traditions that have been an integral part of our school life. We have learned to think for ourselves, to rely upon our own judgment. We have received a thorough mental training that will prove in- valuable to us whether we intend to continue our course in the field of learning or to plunge into the world of business. By living up to the motto, Loyalty, Honor, Service, we have at the same time gained standards and ideals of intrinsic worth. The sense of fair play and sportsmanship which we have acquired through our association with each other and our contact with that indefinable spirit which prevails at Lafayette will encourage us to play the game of life fairly and squarely. lt is not without knowledge of what positions in the community and in the government we shall be expected to assume or an undertaking of government structure and opera- tion that we embark upon a new, yet not unfamiliar, existence. Let us sincerely hope that in this age of strife, economic depression, and generally unsettled conditions, we may be able to shoulder our burden and to cope intelligently with the problems facing us and our country. lust as we must arrange for the undertaking of new duties, so must we prepare for a severing of old friendships. To the teachers whose valuable instruction and friendly guidance have our everlasting gratefulness, to Mr. Gott whose personal interest and wise counsel have eased our transition through adolescence, to our many schoolmates who have been so close to us in vicissi- tude and happiness-to all we bid a fond farewell. But though we may never meet again, we shall never forget them for having so enriched our high school days. We must delay no longer. For all the Seniors of the Class of 1939, I now, with sadness and finality, say good-bye to Lafayette and all her traditions. Valedictor 55 Who' Who Among tho oniors? WE, the Seniors of 1939, in this our official publication, present indirectly to you the results of our voting on the outstanding members of our class. Rooms 3 and 11 have harbored some rare personalities, the choicest of which you may, if you persevere, locate. With a little detective work and faithful following of the clues, you may track down pictures and names of the following favorites: The Most Influential is featured on pages 18, 33, 73, 75, and 90. Even with- out these aids you should be able to guess who he is. By another almost unanimous vote the brunette showing on pages 18 and 22 was selected as The Prettiest. Sorry! we have no action picture, but the top of page 2l gives you the identity of The Best Dancer. lust in case you can't guess the name of The Most I-irdent Womari Hater, we refer you to his picture on pages 14, 20, 77, and 82. Take another look at The Wittiest of our 397 classmates on pages 18, 29, and 91. I Every group has its Most Sophisticated member: ours, and it's feminine, is on pages l4, 25, 73, and 81 in the picture at the top of the page. In contrast, but equally popular in her way is The Most Retiring-pages 20 fmid-panell and 78. The title of Most Athletic belongs to the hero featured sixth on page 21 as well as on 14, 86, 88, and 92. ls it possible that one so poised as the girl on pages 40, 72, 77, and 80 should be dubbed The Most Energetic? For a nice study in contrasts turn quickly from pages l8, 39, and 94 to pages 47, 77, and 795 on the former appears the Class Optimist. and on the latter, the Class Pessimist. Can We interest you in The Most Popular Senior? Pages l8, 30, and 86 con- tain his pictures. You all need no introduction to our Biggest Social Light. For a last look at her we refer you to pages l4, 18, and 40. l object, shouts The Most Argumentative male from pages 34, 75, and 77. It was not without competition from the dashing lads of Room 3 that the Beau Brummel featured on pages 34, 82, and 91 won the distinction of being The Biggest Heartbreaker. The Most Versatile honors we award to him beaming on pages 14, 18, 45, 72, and 90. Pages 39, 77, and 79 picture The Biggest Bluifer. And who said that noisy socks, garish checks and blinding ties would bring anyone the title of The Best Dressed? The class showed its good taste in electing the second girl on page 29 for this superlative. Breathes there a Freshman with sight so dim who can't identity the Couple- Most-Seen-Together?

She's on page 21, he, on 32 and 86. 56 'rz,afiQU' WJVFS i oh J A i'T'UfMfi4ii?'ffcQiViilAff?Zfi'f3lftt President, Iohn Grant: Vice-President, Betty Bowie, Secretary, Eileen Kelly: Treasurer, Howard Bassett Junior Blass Ili tory P ERIODICALLY from the class of '40 a host of individuals has been con- sistently gaining prominence, until in the junior year their outstanding attempts have secured them a stellar position in the annals of Lafayette. Among their first achievements was an Armistice Day program, especially notable for Cap Mellen's dedication of Memorial Hall in tribute to Lafayette's thirty-nine World War heroes. At this presentation, Anatole Shapiro officiated While speeches and musical selections were capably rendered by Winifred Bradley, Henry Tardiff, and Elaine Kagner. Climaxing the affair, William Bur- ton and Mary Ann Dowd, placed a wreath at the monument while the entire Iunior Class stood silent in tribute. ln the spring there was an air of excitement when the election of class officers took place. It was at school 16 that lohn Grant, president of the class of '40 first tasted the joys and sorrows of an office holder. Math and monitorial duties delight him most in Lafayette, while his '33 Ford, collecting gadgets and stamps, working and enjoying life generally comprise his outside diversions. Strange as it may seem, the hobby of Betty Bowie, the vice-president of the class of '40, is trying to perfect her fudge, while still more strange is her complete devotion to the radio program, Let's Pretend . Eileen Kelly, secretary of the class of '40 is beginning her career early, for in preparation for teaching, she instructs primary children in Sunday School. His general popularity and reliability made Howard Basset the Iunior Class's choice for treasurer. Summer finds him resting strenuously at Camp Scout Haven near Arcade. Instead of the customary Iunior Day procedure, the class of 1940 staged an informal dance in the gymnasium on May 19, at eight-thirty in the evening Gay decorations and the ever popular refreshments added to the congeniality of the participants. 57 Junlor Girls' ir 'k 5 -...Xi-ow-Jw LQww1.

Buck Q i I 1 3 Z' . ii E ' This year co-editors Rita Kaiser and Robert Trlangle lk Graham, both of the class of '40, steered an admirable course over the rough seas to a good school newspaper. Under their pilotage, and Mr. Monroe's direction, the Triangle survived the storm of losing Miss Brogan as capable faculty advisor. Sales for the paper went up, up, up, when the Budget Book Plan was introduced at Lafayette. There has been noticeably less high pressure sales- manship and pointing of deriding fingers at over-the-shoulder spongers than in former years. Those who groaned at handing out actual cash seemed to take delight in ripping tickets from Budget Books. The Trophy Case, a regular feature conducted by Warner Weil, proph- esied results in coming sport events, gave us the results of games and deli- cately soothed over losses when they occurred. , Lest our alumni feel that they are both gone and forgotten, a veteran column, Up from Lafayette has kept us in touch with the goings, comings, and accomplishments of our graduates. Again this year those who spend hours sticking postage stamps in albums or endanger their lives by hanging from telegraph poles in order to get un- usual shots, had a chance to publicize their hobbies. The Hobby Horse was running full time and featured such unusuals as a feminine grease monkey, Iosephine Calandra, Iohnny Robb and Murray Bovarnik on the technicalities of philately. 75 Orchestra -lr VIOLINS Arthur Betts Herbert Davison Robert Fierle Sasha Gilclen Edith Gowen Elizabeth Gronachan Robert Iillson Norma Merkle Ioseph Millazzo Marion O'Kane Frank Pappas Serpouhy Sandekian Robert Spero Reginald Swanson lack Thurman Betty Tutton Donald Voltz VIOLAS Marcia McGuire Virginia Retzloff Robert Wilson BASS Andrew Tramont Curtyss Mclfyerie CELLO Doreen Hinkley PIANO loseph D'Anqelo Rita Henry fassistantl FLUTES Irwin Lazarus Doris McMorrow Ruth Reinqold Earl Scott CLARINETS Paul Cecala loseph Giovino Harry Miller lohn Oqilvie Clifford Voqelsanq TRUMPETS Roy Forkner Bulkeley Kozlow William McLean TROMBONES Eugene Chaplain Iohn Hove HORNS Vertie Harrington Maurice Powsner DRUMS Edward Fierle TYMPANI Helen Tomic 76 ' As in all schools, one finds scattered through Dramatlcs t Lafayette dramatically-minded boys and girls who under the skillful direction of Miss Marie Wechter, comprise the Dramatic Club. This year the players have entertained the school in five assemblies including lunior Day. ln addition, on March 31, they had the honor of present- ing some of their plays before the Buffalo Town Club. This year's officers are lohn Altschaft, Betty Ziff, Donald B. MacKenzie, and Shirley Marks. ' Scorning anything as imperialistic as a presi- H1St0IY Forum t dent, this club chose to have a governing body of five members: Richard Levin, Doris Rosenberg, Sherwood Hiller, Bob- ert Frost and lohn Unterecker. At most of the meetings the speaker of the week first presented his views on a current problem, then open forum followed. 77 'W ,lf 94 pm Aw Band if THUMPETS Fletcher Benjamin Ross Desboro Arthur Hair Bulkeley Kozlow Norman Leonard Hobert McCoy William McLean Richard Tuqq Iohn Wright FLUTES Irwin Lazarus Doris McMorrow Ruth Reinqold Earl Scott HOHNS Vertie Harrington Maurice Powsner CLARINETS Grace Benjamin Paul Cecala Betty Edwards loseph Giovino Sherwood Hiller Harry Miller Robert Mohr Iohn Oqilvie lose-ph Olira lerome Rosenblatt Charles Umbeham Clifford Voqelsanq TROMBONES Albert Bette-ndorf Eugene Chaplin Iohn Hove Iames Laffertz 'kiri' TUBAS Ioseph D'Anqelo Curtyss McTyeire lack Thurman Andrew Tramont DRUMS lose-ph D'Anqelo Edward Fierle Oscar Smukler Harold Waters BARITONES Roy Forkner Charles Whitcher 78 t To create, maintain, and extend high standards of Christian character throughout school and community life is the prac- tical aim of the HI-Y organization. lt is one of the oldest and most vital of Lafayettes extra-curricular activities. As usual in its affiliation with the local Y.M.C.A., this club has enjoyed another year's program of educational and recreational activities. The official leaders for l938-39 are William Simon, Robert Voisinet, Leon Trum and Donald Voltz. This year the informal gatherings of Lafayette's Chess i Chess Club under the supervision of Miss Bigee low and Sherwood Hiller produced a team which vanquished all challengers in the inter-high school competition. The cup winning team consisted of Cap- tain George Hahn, Iohn Hovie, Richard Levin and David Morrison. The spirit of democracy and fair play so common at Lafayette motivated the club. 79 Raised voices, eloquent words, heated tempers We these are assurances that the debate teams are in the spotlight Mr. Scott, who has coached both teams, is extremely proud of their records, which place Lafayette fifth among the high schools of the city with a score of 3l points. Debate Team -k ln the fall debates, the negative, which remained at home, defeated River- side 8-7, while the affirmative unfortunately lost by a similar decision to Hutch' inson. The resolution for this debate was a very timely one and read: That the United States Constitution be amended to provide that the President be elected for a single term of 6 years. ln the spring debates resolved: That Phillippine independence be indefi- nitely postponed was the topic under discussion. To the negative team, which clashed with Grover Cleveland, fell the task of smashing the invincible record of the city champions. This the negative did nobly, defeating their opponents by a 9-6 vote. Bad luck, however, once more followed Lafayettes affirmative, which lost to Bennett by an 8-7 vote but only after they had offered keen competition. Merit is due the debate squad which worked side by side with the regular teams and assisted them in their quest for historical material. The excellent season which Lafayette teams have enjoyed this year is in a large measure responsible to their efforts. 80 ... t - , .1 i .

With only a few seasoned football veterans as X' 1 'k a working nucleus, it was a rather immature X i X team that Coach Whalley sent into action against a highly rated, stronger i N X- XMcKinley eleven. This first game played at Riverside closed with our team ,X QB on the wrong end of a 12-O score. On the following Saturday, Lafayette, with a somewhat revised line-up, X won an exciting game over Bennett 14-12. Enjoying a 12-O lead early in the Kx game, our opponents looked for an easy Victory. But our luck turned When Bennett was forced to kick from the goal line. Iohnny Swain blocked the kick and Gene Adams fell on the ball over the goal line for 6 points which became 7 by virtue of completed Beardsell-Holser pass. A series of bad breaks was responsible for our l8-O loss to Hutchinson in a game played at the Civic Stadium. A Wet slippery turf gummed down the backs and the ends had difficulty completing passesy these factors lost four touchdowns for the team. Football supremacy of the West Side became Lafayette's after Grover Cleveland succumbed to our attack, l4-O. A highlight of the otherwise slcw game was lim Beardsell's 80 yard touchdown-iaunt through the enemy. The last game of the season was the Riverside contest at All-High Stadium. In the first quarter the opponents pushed over for a touchdown but failed to convert. There was no action until the final period when Gene Adams took a 25 yard toss from lim Beardsell and ran 20 yards for 6 points. Our failure to convert ended the game with a 6-6 deadlock. With 2 wins, 2 losses and 2 ties our place was fifth in the league. In the All-High selections Lafayette placed Beardsell first team and Haywood, Adams, Ienkins, and Tammenga in the honorable mention. 86 QW ,J 2 W-fvuuf 'af-Aff' 'ixff JU' S.. I , , ,.. Regarded as a comparatively weak team by Basketball t pre-season prophets, the Lafayette basketeers proceeded to prove their ability at the expense of the other team in the Yale Cup race. After opening the l938-l939 season with three successes, Burgard, Kensing- ton and Seneca respectively, the Violets struck a rut. A powerful Hutchinson quintet took our boys into camp 48-33, providing the Violets with their first loss of the season. We were then defeated at the hands of Grover Cleveland, South Park, Riverside, Fosdick Masten and McKinley. Some of these games were so closely lost that they would discourage any team. Snapping out of this long losing streak, the team swamped a weak Emer- son Varsity 42-26, and followed this up with an easy victory over the Orange and Blue of Bennett, a loss to East, and, to close the 1938-'39 race, a win over Technical. Having won six and lost seven of its games, and several of these latter with such a narrow margin, the Lafayette basketball team completed a cred- itable season, taking seventh position in the Yale Cup standings. Although 1938-1939 was not an extraordinarily successful season, the action seen by the several juniors and sophomores on the squad should prove a valuable asset to next year's campaign. 88 f V l,,' I 7 7- N jf NA rwf X W 41 lfVith a team dubbed popularly as small we Baseball t opened the intercholastic competition in the Cornell Cup League with a 3-2 victory over McKinley at Delaware Park on April 28. Our other rivals were Hutchinson played on May Day, and Bennett, on the following week May 8. With veteran pitcher Schneider on the mound, Tumino and Carestio at the keystone combination, Van Hall, Marshall and Carriero in the outfield, and catchers Rogers and Miller, our team consistently played good fast baseball. ' ' Of the five meets in which Lafayette swimmers Swlmmlng K competed they won the first with Hutchinson and the last with Kensington. Their three victors were South Park, Riverside and the championship Bennett team. This year's outstanding natators were lack Thurman in the 200-yard freestyle, George Crofts in the 100-yard freestyle, Ioe Da Mica and Iimmy Parks. 89 its prospects bright in early May, the l939 Track t Track Team has been working with cheerful determination, its final rating unknown at the present writing, the team will continue its spirited fighting to attain All-High goals. Coach Whalley, having taken over the duties of training our runners and field men this year, guarantees excellent records in the dashes, half-mile and mile, with an especially fine showing by the relay team. Second only to Bennett in the All-High Colum- CIOSS t bian Cross Country Classic our well balanced hill and dale aggregation proved one of the best in Lafayette's history. Paced by Mack and larneson, both placing in the first ten, Kadey, Kreuger, and Pinzel finished in the first twenty-five of a field of eighty. The season was marked by Kreuger's lap around Delaware Park Lake lacking one shoe and Macks fourth place finish, making him All-High. 90 i This year Lafayette's qolf team was not as able as usual, even though veteran Bill McLean, the star trunipeter and master of ceremonies, was the captain of the team. The stellar participant, however, was Bobert Ping Pong Eckis, who has been rated one of the best golfers in town. Major letters were presented to Iarnes Meyers, Warren Bothfus, and Iohn Herr. The squad consisted of Bert Dunn, Dick Adler, lack Sheehan, and Robert Spero. Since six of the niaior lettermen will return next year, Lafayette should have a six-star team.

Rcxthvon was awarded a trophy. This tournament, the first of its kind in Buffalo, was sponsored by outstanding local tennis players. Don- ald Budge made the presentation on May first at the Broadway Auditorium. Iohn, class of '40, is a graduate of School 16, a member of the tennis team '37-'39, and with Iack Colson made the All-High Doubles in '38. IN CREW 'k The 8 Varsity Oarsmen of the West Side Rowing Club affiliated with Lafayette are H. Roesch-bow, I. Iones, E. Chaplin, E. Haywood, I. Cullinan, G. Holi- day, G. Stewart, A. Correy-stroke, and W. Dellapenta-coxswain. In '38 this crew won both the United States and the Canadian National Championships for high school crews. Hard working, greatly admired Coach Iohn Bennett sent his crew into action first against Riverside. To get into shape for this event the oarsmen practiced early in the Spring on the Royal Canadian Henley Course at St. Catherines. The winning team in the Riverside contest raced Cornell's third Varsity Crew: and Syracuse Frosh on which team Al Wooler, President of the Class of '38 rowed 77 and lastly competed in the big Harvard event on May 20th. i IN FOOTBALL AND BASKETBALL at From the sandlot games back in the 7th grade at School No. 19 Iames Beardsell has risen to a place on the All-High Teams in iootball and basketball and has thrilled Lafayette spectators at games for three years. Captain of the school's football and basket- ball teams this year, he also head- ed the Monitor's organization in '38. IN TRACK 'A' We are proud of another of our representatives, Walter Mack, who for the fourth High honors in the half-mile event. A member of the Cross Country team for three years, he Won the high jump city championship when he was in School 457 finish- ed third in a field of 72 as a Soph- ornorey and took third place in the half-mile event at the Cornell Interscholastic Track Meet held at Ithaca in March '39.

This honor was based on the results of a competitive examina- tion in which more than 1400 students contended. Richard, Class Poet, possesses the preoccupied air and characteristic languor popularly attributed to thinkers and poets. ln his spare time he turns to philately, the chess board and the writing of creepy mystery thrillers. IN ART 'k Only three scholarships are awarded to students in New York State by the New York School of Professional Art and this year all three were won by Lafayette students, one of whom was Frances G. Woodworth. Winner ot two scholarships, one at N.Y.S.P.A., the other at Pratt Institute, is Irving I. Goodman. ln the 12th Annual Scholastic competition he won honorable mention and a cash award from the American Crayon Company. His artistic career already includes co-art editorship of the Oracle. stage designs, sculpture, dress de- signing, and exhibiting at Rockefeller Center. In the same competition Catherine Catanzaro won a place with her pencil sketchy and Salvatore Amico. with his design. For his black ink drawing, Hugh E. Kennedy. able class president tor the past two years, was given honorable mention and a cash award in the Scholastic contest. Considerable honor was c brought to Lafayette by Richard Archer's winning honorable men- tion in the Wild Life competition, a national contest to which about eight thousand posters were sub- mitted. Samuel G. Mutfoletto. Oracle co-art editor and N.Y.S.P.A. schol- larship winner, was awarded a special prize of S510 for the excel- lence of his print submitted in the 12th National High School Art Exhibition. In recognition of the artistry ot this print done on Strathrnore paper, this paper com- pany gave an additional award of 315. Sam has done poster work for a real estate agency and anticipates a career as an indus- trial designer. For distinctive and creative service in the field ot art lVIiss Elizabeth Weitienbach was honor- ed with a silver medal at the an- nual convention of the Eastern Arts Association. ln a truly demo- cratic fashion this award was based on the popular vote of more than thirty prominent art leaders . . in this S0Ci9lY- Miss wE1rrENBAcH's MEDALS 93 b During the volleyball season Captain Opal ey a t Denton's Violets were forced to exert much energy and loyal spirit to keep the crown from Charlotte Kay's fighting Whites.

With the completion of the Oracle. a few words must be said for the wood block process which the art staff used. This process is a comparatively simple one: however, it requires a qreat deal of skilled labor to obtain the desired results. Before the work may be started it is necessary to have a perfected drawing of the subject with every minute detail in exactness. Once a block is cut it cannot be changed. The blocks are one inch thick with a wooden base and a top layer of coarse linoleuni. The tools used are small iniplenients with wooden handles froni which protrude the thin grooved pieces of steel, well sharpened at the end. The drawinq is traced on the block and the cnttinq is made by carving out that section which is to remain in White. When the block is accurately cut and ready to print, the printer's ink is rolled across the block very carefully with the rubber block roller. Very often corrections have to be made: more cutting is required to finish the block. After a satisfactory re- production has been made by the artist the block is ready for the printer.
