With joy complete I rise to greet anew On this, the long expected day of grace, The Class of Nineteen Hundred Thirty-Four, Since soon you'll find and take your well-earned place, Wliere many a class has been enrolled of yore. The Class of Thirty-four began to form When first was felt the great depressions storm. Of other classes' splendor you had none, Yet raised the standard of your class above The records set by each preceding one, And for your school inspired a greater love. New honors and new laurels have you gained To make the halls of Alma Mater famed. Of writers, speakers, actors you have raised A few, who will by many gifted ones Of all the world someday be highly praised, Like other of our country's native sons. U Classmates all, your ways will far be spread, And nevermore, when summer leaves turn red, VVill studies start for you in Lockport High, Let every one when autumn comes each year Save just one thought for friends and days gone by To help you keep your mem'ries true and clear. This Class to immortality is led, As with a stately measured step you tread, In cap and gown of blue with tuft of gold. Yet may your lofty spirit never die But lead you on to glories yet untold That you may soon far greater odds defy. -Eugenia F. VVhitmore, '3-4.

There had been enough to pay for his ticket and a couple of dollars left. To tell the truth, he hadn't felt just right about betting on a horse race, but the fellows had dared him, and he wanted to show them he was game .... Funny-the noise those wheels made. Seemed as if they droned, Come back, Nate, come back. .. , and now they challenged, Go on. Nate, go on .... Yes. he was going on all right-on to New York-and then where? Well, at least he knew where he wa.vn'f going, and that was back home, back to Rusk- ridge-not for a good while anyhow. He wasn't going to be one of these fellows -what did they call 'em-oh yes, these prodigal sons who crawl back home to keep from starving ...,., A lot of the people at home thought he was pretty lucky because his great great-grandfather had founded the town, because his father was the biggest law- yer in the county, because he lived in a big stone house on a hill and was going to Harvard in the fall .... but all these people, they didn't know how set and obstinate his father was, how sort of lonely the big stone house on the hill had grown, and how he hated the thought of Harvard and dusty, moth-eaten law- books in an office, and another lawyer to carry on the practice .... no Harvard now- VVell. thereld be no law-books now-no practice for him -he guessed he'd Rusk.. that was made that clear to something new .... calling his father Rusk . Still, every- Page Twclzty-Fozfl' one he knew called him Rusk, and plenty he didn't know too--it seemed to suit him some way. . VVhy hadn't Rusk even tried to under- stand? Annapolis was just as good a place as Harvard. Better, probably. Oh yes, he realized that the Rusks had al- ways been fawyers, but was that any reason why they always had to be- ad infinitum or something? Yes, he knew about the fine old family traditions too, but what difference did they make when a fellow hated the very sound of the word lawyer ? Besides, he wasn't any good in public speaking-never had been-and that was practically all a law- yer did besides thinking up alibis. He couldn't do that either .,.. He had set his heart on Annapolis long ago, but he l1adn't dared mention it until this morning. He had told Rusk there wasn't any use in going to Harvard to study law if you knew you'd never make a lawyer. Right there Rusk had stopped him- of course l1e'd go to Harvard --how tired he was of hearing about the Rusks! It seemed pretty good to get away .... Rusk hadn't seemed to care when he'd said he was leaving .... told him to come back in time for college .... maybe he hadn't believed him .... maybe he would now .,.. The train was slowing up as it near- ed a sizable city, and then, with alter- nate gasps and shrieks as if slowly strangling, it had stopped before a smudgy, stuccocd station. Tall, handsome, brown-eyed, Nate suspended his meditations to peer out THE FORVM at his surroundings. He had been riding perhaps an hour, and in two more his goal would be reached. On the west the Hudson was golden glass in the afternoon sung regal, im- passive, mighty sovereign. The greater part of the city stretched toward the east, and somehow--it reminded him of Ruskridge-home .,.. He abruptly turned his eyes to scan boy replied in like vein, Never better. Won't you switch the seat around? Seeing that we're both alone, we ought to do something about it. In an instant they were facing each other, blue eyes gazing into brown. For a moment, both were somewhat at a loss for words. Finally the strange boy spoke. My name's jim VVhite, former- ly residing in the orphanage back there, the entering pas- sengers. T h e first was a tall, furtive-faced in- dividual in a black overcoat, his hat pulled over his eyes. He was carry- ing an obvious- ly heavy black brief-case a n d could easily have been a des- perate character Nate thought w i t h mingled awe and pleas- ure. Next came a non-descript woman with a whimpering, sticky child, and then a tall young f e ll o w about Nate's own age. THINGS NAOM1 NELSON, '34 New things thrill me.

That's it- what I wanted to do all along and didn't know it. I'll join the Navy too! and he proceeded to tell his new friend simply that he and his father had had a disagreement. Then he hesitat- ed. Why not wipe the slate clean . . . start his new life as somebody else . . Say, Jim, does your name mean a lot to you? who took the seat ahead of him. During Nate's inspection of his new neighbor, the last of the passengers had taken their seats and the train with re- newed choking recommenced its mo- notonous chant. The blonde, crisply curling hair be- fore him seemed to Nate a cheery invi- tation. and clearing his throat experi- mentally he remarked, Fine weather, isn't it ? The well-shaped head turned quick- ly and brilliant blue eyes examined the speaker. Then with a flashing smile the THE FOR VM he asked excitedly. VVhy no, not much. You see it's just a name they gave me at the Home. They found me on the steps when I was just a little kid. Seems like the stories you read about, doesn't it P Tough luck, jim. Nate paused a moment, reflectively. With a brother like this, things might have been different . . . . VVell, look now, fellow, what do you say to our changing names. . . just for the fun of it? I say it would be great. From now on I am Nathan Rusk, and you are Page 'Twenty-Five plain Jim Wl1ite. Characteristically, this smiling, blonde boy never thought to question his new friend's motives, and Nate understood this and respected him for it. 'Several days later, two boys left New York Harbor on two different ships. One was Nathan Rusk from Ruskridge, tall, smiling, blonde. The other-plain .lim VVhite, tall, smiling, brown-eyed, from an orphanage in a town along the Hudson. P is vs wk Rusk was lonely. No one guessed it --a Rusk had always been one to hide his emotions-but, eating his solitary dinner, night after night, he had grad- uallylrealized just how lonely he was. At first he had been angry, had de- spised himself for a soft hearted old woman, but now that was past. I-Ie wanted the boy back .... but he was still proud .... the Rusks had always been proud, often too proud... and Rusk was hanged if he'd make the first move. It had been two years-he had had a note from New York after the boy had left: Father, I am going to sea. Although I can't go as an of ficer-that's what I wanted to do, you know-I'm on my own, at least. -That was all. Two years of dining by himself-oh, occasionally he had gone out, but peo- ple asked so eonfoundedly many ques- tions, and he saw that they pitied him. No doubt the young fool was a hand- some fellow now, strong, and browned by the sun-well, the Rusks had always been handsome, all of them ..,. VVhere was the boy-why didn't he come home? Every' evening such thoughts had filled Rusk's mind, and now he had eve11 taken to soliloquizing in the seclusion of his study .... Rusk was tall--taller than Nate, and although he had not yet reached sixty, his hair and moustache were snow-white -his eyes were dark brown, piercingly Page Tiilfllfjl-SIi.l' sharp. He was Hawthorne, John Hay . . . he was completely himself, like no one else, ever. I'll send the boy to Annapolis when he comes home! Yes, by gad, I swear I'll do it . . if he comes home. I Then one morning a telegram came from New York- Son injured stop slzifv in fort at time stop will arrizfe about 3:00 P.M. It was signed by the captain of the S. Transatlantic. Rusk felt young again. The boy was coming home! But he was hurt .... still it couldn't be so serious or they would- n't move him. Qnly a few more hours. The doorbell ....., brushing Timson aside, he flung open the door .... an Indian squaw with a basket of wild flowers, . . he bought them all. . . . 'Would they never come? .,.. Hark, . ..a siren .... the ambulance of course . . . again he threw the door wide open . . . a stretcher .... now they were bringing' him up the walk .... the steps . . the sltairs. , . . The driver and his assistant set the stretcher down in Nate's old room and gently lifted the still figure from it to the bed. There y'are, sir, and the cap- tain says to tell you he'll be good as ever in a coupleiof weeks. VVhy, what's the matter, sir? You ain't gonna faint, are ya? Rusk was deathly pale with excite- ment and bitter disappointment. Gasp- ing he cried, He's not my son .... not Nate .,.. U VV hy, he must be, sir. Nathan Rusk, that's his name. Now I think of it, the captain told me he's been delirious since it happened this mornin' .... kept askin' fer jim VVhite and sayin' he'd have to explain somethinl! The doc put him to sleep fer a while so's he ..., i' Not Nate, not Nate, Rusk repeat- ed slowly. Then who is he and why have you brought him here P THE FORVM I see there's some mistake, sir, but this young fella' goes by the name of Rusk, like I said-Nate Rusk. His ship docked this mornin', an' as I understand it he had a two weeks leave. He hadnlt been gone more'n half an hour with one 0' his buddies when they brought him back. Been hit by a car. Bruised up bad, but no bones broken. What'll I do with the boy now, sir? He can stay where he is. There's room enough and to spare here. Rusk quent visitor at the law office and dis- played a keen interest in the profession. It had set Rusk thinking. True to his word, he soon broached the subject of Annapolis. Nate was over- joyed but a little skeptical about qualify- ing for an appointment. Rusk reassured him. After all, one's clients, when suf- ficiently important, were frequently use- ful, especially when they happened to be Congressmen. And so it was settled. was recovering rapidly. I'll get in touch with his captain, and I'm obliged to you for your trouble. No trouble at all, was the cheery response. Good luck to you both, sir. In a moment, he and his speechless as- sistant had picked up the stretcher and left. Against the d0ctor's protests, jim had told the whole story the following day and insisted upon sending a message to Nate.- I have been hurt and am at your home.

Let's tell him now. later, and Nate, taller, browner, hand- somer, had come back to find his father ready to listen, anxious to help. The old Rusk would have been out- raged at the exchange of names, but now, with a smile, he simply said, You young fellows have been pretty lucky, I'd say. You could have had a good deal of troubles after changing those names. And he clapped each fondly on the hack. During his stay, jim had been a fre- THE FORVM jim was overcome for a moment.

The lawyer was deeply touched. Spoken like a gentleman-and a Rusk, he said. It was the highest compliment he could pay, and Nate, knowing, was glad.

Page Thirty-Three HURRICANE FRIENDSHIP LEON HIGHHOUSE, '34 DON Garrett strolled carelessly down the dirty street of Pueblo Cabello which led to the docks. His tall stature was quite a contrast to the small squat figures of the natives. Dressed in his white duck flying suit, and with his chin squared and blue eyes flashing, he never failed to receive the smiles of the fair senoritas. Disregarding the affairs in the street he turned and walked into the Yellow Lantern Cafe situated across from the police dock. Directly in front of him at one of the tables slouched Blimp Wil- liams, the former ace blind-flying pilot of Pan American Airways. Williams, on seeing Garrett, suddenly straightened up and let out a yelp of laughter. VVell, if it isn't my old buddy Don Garrett. I haven't seen you since the Bahia affair when we were fired by P.A.A. I hear you're flying your own plane between Havana and Cabello. just so you don't monkey with my run.- VVell?-VVhat have you got to say for yourself F Y Nothing, Vtfill, except that you'll have to look to your laurels. I'm extend- ing my route to Miami, retorted Don. I won't worry about you. You never were good enough to get a long run, was VVill's sarcastic reply. Eventually the quiet of the cafe was shattered by the crash of breaking glass as Don landed a few big plates of food on VVill's head. NVill's legs crumpled under him and he slumped to the floor. Excited voices filled the air as the man- ager ancl two waiters rushed to the scene of the disturbance and promptly knock- ed Garrett down. Next, the shrill whistle of the police was heard as three officers rushed thru the entrance of the Yellow Lantern Cafef, Very expertly and methodically they Page Tlzirty-Four questioned the manager and waiters, then a few of the native by-standers. And, in the next move they had clamp- ed a pair of shining bracelets on the wrists of the unconscious form of the white clad pilot. Early the next morning Blimp Wil- liams climbed into the foreward cabin of his ten passenger amphibian, gave the plane the gun and skimmed down the bay, then rose lazily into the azure blue sky. I-Ie swooped down over the lazy city of Puerto Cabello, which harbored in its modest jail the sleeping form of Don Garrett. VVilliams was making his customary flight to I-Iavana and Miami carrying six passengers and a few hundred pounds of freight. By night he would be in a nice bed in Miami, and this, along with the thought of Don in jail, made a smile come over his face as he flew over the blue Caribbean. Two days later he was ready to make the return trip to Cabello. As he waited for the tanks to be filled with gasoline, he couldn't help musing about Don cool- ing his feet as well as his temper in a smelly native jail. Serves him right, murmured Will, forgetting that he had started the whole trouble with his sarcastic humor. Meanwhile, Garrett had been released by the authorities after paying for the broken bottle of Bourbon. Immediately after his release Don went to his hotel room and changed into a fresh suit of white ducks. From there he went down to the dock where his flying-boat was anchored. There he fell into the routine of making his plane ready for flight. On board his ship was a valuable cargo of gold bullion for New York as well as five passengers. His ship was of the same type as William's, a twin THE FORVM motor Sikorsky with retractable landing gear. Garrett ducked into his small office for a last weather report before setting out for Havana. The report which came over the transmitter gave him a little apprehension. Storm of hurricane violence is sweeping thru the Caribbean from the vicinity of St. Thomas Island, droned a voice over the loudspeaker. Garrett snapped off the switch and walked out of the office, a frown creas- ing his forehead. There was a possibility that the storm would miss this end of the Caribbean entirely and go up thru Haiti and Santo Domingo, but-then again it could curve and sweep across Cuba and the mainland. Don climbed into his cockpit, adjusted the controls. then looked back into the cabin to see if all were ready. VVith a roar the inertia starter made the twin motors burst into action: then with the grace of a swan the ship turned and streaked out into the bay with a white tail streaming behind. The ship zoom- ed up into the pale blue sky that two days previously VVilliams had also flown. The sky was beautifully clear, without a sign of storm or trouble. Even the deep blue water beneath the ship was calm and smooth with scarcely a ripple to mar its surface. The sun sent golden streaks dancing along on the azure waters. The weather report must have been wrong. lt wasn't possible for such a beautiful sight as this to be a prelude to disaster such as a hurricane. And with this idea in mind Don settled back in his seat and calmly regarded first his flying instruments, then the outside scene. Back in the cabin of the ship the passengers were also in a jocular mood, for they chatted and laughed with one another. Perhaps most of this was due to their ignorance of the weather fore- cast and not to their personal bravery. But disaster comes rapidly upon the THE FORVM unsuspecting and strikes with little warning and lesser mercy. A low rum- ble came from the east, and a dark cloud loomed over the horizon stretch- ing fall along the eastern horizon. It rapidly grew in size until it covered a quarter of the sky. Garrett, sensing the danger, forced the ship up another two thousand feet, but still the dark shadow threatened over his head. Up another thousand feet he sent the plane, and again he sensed the ominous cloud above. Back in the cabin the laughter had died on the lips of the passengers. Fear and apprehension masked their faces. The chatter had stilled and a brooding silence took its place. The two women passengers began to finger their rosa- ries, the men to twist their watch chains. The full fury of the storm crashed down on the flying ship. Pellets of rain beat a merciless stream on the windows of the cabin. Strong gusts of wind whip- ped the plane as a cat paws a wounded bird. Cork-screw blasts of wind lifted the ship, then dropped it into clown-cur- rents of air. It took all of Don's skill as a pilot even to keep the plane on a level keel, let alone try to smooth out the jolts. Suddenly, above the shriek of the wind and the groaning of the ship, came the sound of tearing fabric. To hisliorror Garrett looked out of his window and saw the fabric peeling off the left wing and fluttering in the gale. lt was only a few seconds before the whole left wing was stripped of cloth, and wooden ribs glistened in the rain and wind. , , Immediately the plane beganp to fall off to the ,left and slowly dip down towardthe lboiling, churning. ii sea. All attempts to right the amphibian were of no avail, and it continued on its way to certain disaster. i VVith a supreme effort Garrett man- aged to make the plane respond slug- gishly to the controls. Just as the bow of the ship was about to crash into a Page Tlzirty-Five mountainous wave it leveled off and smacked into the foaming sea on an even keel. The hurricane soon spent its fury in that region and passed on toward Cuba. The sun came out, and the boiling water was soon tamed to a series of waves which at intervals slapped against the hull of the plane, causing the passengers to fall to their knees. No one had been hurt except for pretty. She aroused his interest and man- liness. lt was this more than anything else that kept a spark of faith in his soul. A deep hum in the sky shattered his reveries, making him as well as the girl beside him glance skyward. Yes-there it was, a silver speck high in the sky. Garrett signalled frantically, but the pilot seemed not to see them. But wait -he was turning. He had seen them. It slight cuts on the hands and legs sustained when the window glass broke in the crash. Garrett was un- hurt and had climbed out onto the good wing and was anxious- ly scanning the horizon. He realized his responsibility and his duty. He had in his care the lives of five peo- ple as well as several thousand dollars in gold bullion. To lose either of these would be to ac- DURING SPRING RAIN IXIAIIDE VEDDER, '34 Tlzerolr somctliing in a wet and budding treo That always wrings a song of praise from mc.

Soon a twin motor Sikorsky had settled in the choppy water be- side the wreckage of the ill-fated plane. A lone figure stepped out of the cabin of the rescue ship and lowered himself to the water-log- ged wing of the wrecked plane. A mazement swept over Don's face. It was Will- iams. The two men stopped and stared at each knowledge defeat a thing to be abhorred and hated. A younger girl of the party had taken this wreck as a great thrill, a marvelous adventure, but as the day wore on and a leak developed in the hull of the ship she too began to pray for the sight of a ship. Garrett felt sorry for her and for her hopes. The ship had landed on longitude 700 west midway to Havana. Few boats traveled in that district. It was too bad, for the girl had pluck, and what is more, she was wholesome and Page Thirty-Si.r other for a min- uteg then suddenly they clasped hands and looked each other square in the eyes without saying a word. Finally Vilillianis coughed and cleared his throat and stammered, I-I-I knew it was your plane, but-well I just had to help. -0- Don and VVill are now partners in a new flying company between Puerto Cabello and Miami. Oh yes! The young girl is Mrs. Garrett. THE FORVM BRIDLES MARX' C.PoUND, ,34 WHAT power is represented in that one word! and what restraint! When you say bridle , just bridle , it seems as if it were not enough, as if something were lacking, and it is, for the usual expression is saddle and bri- dle , naming the bridle last and yet the latter is the main part of the outfit. On that one bit of harness depends all your control. For instance, if you have a strong horse with a mind of his own and he suddenly takes it into his head to go, the bridle breaks and where are you? You have no way of holding him back. But if the stirrups break or the saddle girth snaps, all you need do is keep your balance and press tight with your knees. The types of bridles vary as widely as the different kinds of dogs. There is the plain bridle, generally used in hunting with just a single bit. single reins, and sometimes a martingale. This is a long strap fastened to the girth and extending to the nose piece on the bridle. It passes between the horse's front legs and goes right up his neck. It is very helpful to the beginner for it prevents his horse from tossing his head too high. This is a most annoying trick, especially when the ambitious rider depends on his reins for his balance, and then, too, he is like- ly to have his nose severely bumped. Then there is the extreme opposite, a western bridle. Here there is also one bit, but what a bit! It is curved or point- ed and has two slender bars at each end of the bit that vary from two to five inches in length and which are attached at right angles to the bit. The reins are fastened to the ends of these bars far- thest from the mouth. Also, the bridle itself is usually studded with metal. On the most fanciful, silver is used and the reins, too, are ornamented. VVith such a bit just a slight jerk is needed to pull a horse back on his haunches, while with THE FORVM the other you could saw away to your heart's content and make no impression on a determined animal. Then, again, there is a bridle that is a compromise between the two. There are two bits: one is plain like the first and the other is curved with the curb or chain that goes around the horse's lower jaw. There are two sets of reins, a pair for each bit. This type is most commonly used and certainly has its ad- vantages. By keeping the curb reins loose your horse is not tormented every time you put extra pressure on the reins. On the other hand you can control him with the curb when he believes too strongly in running away. The bits on bridles that are used for show horses are wrapped i11 rubber to make the horse take hold of it and show some pep. Somehow, it seems as if in my mind each type of bridle should go with a definite type of horse. The simple bridle reminds me of a tall, long-necked, long- legged animal, a hunter or jumper that is very capable and business-like. The western bridle conjures up a small, wiry mustang with muscle of steel, that is also business-like but more alert and nervous. The last recalls a beautiful creature with satin skin, arched neck, pointed ears and dainty feet, but that is flighty and irresponsible, ready to shy at the slightest rustle or stir, in other words, a show horse. The reins of the bridle act as a link between the rider and the horse. By the very feel of a rider's hands a horse can tell if he is experienced or nervous, uses a heavy touch or light, and if he under- stands his horse. This makes a great dif- ference in a horse's action. By using a light touch a nervous horse becomes calm and obedient to the slightest pressure. There is a bridle for every horse, and with the right bridle and of course the right rider a horse is at his best. Page Tlzirty-Seven BOSTON BEANS AND ITALIAN SPAGHETTI SARAH J. CRAWFORD, '34 INY, dirty shops, vegetable venders. odors of cheeses and fish,-these all are a part of old Boston! As we walk along the crowded way, sometimes on the side walks but more often in the stone roads, we view with surprise the trans- formation of this old American city. The sun shines brightly on the long displays of fruit and vegetables on the carts and benches of the Italian merchants. Green peas, oranges. yellow bananas,-how they gleam! No native American can arrange his displays with such art. An old dark skinned woman with a bright scarf about her head hobbles across the street with a market basket on her arm.. . . . A husky foreigner unloading his wares suddenly bursts into happy song. ln sunny doorways sleepy kittens bask in the warmth. Ah, how easy it is to imagine we are in real Italy itself! Our attention is called to a truck which, in the process of turning around in the narrow streets, is now tightly jammed between the two curbs much to the despair of the driver. . .A crowd gathers. The truck squirms with its wheels spinning. At last it makes a des- perate effort and frees itself. As we near the end of the street, clothing and jewelry stores displace the food shops. A fat man with a shiny black suit and a little mustache stands before a window displaying elaborate wedding garments. Seeing a young couple approach the store, he rushes for- ward beaming and bowing. A wedding suit! You like a fine wedding suit P he asks. The young man is of course very embarrassed. The girl laughs and they brush past the merchant leaving him dis- appointed but smiling. At the corner sight-seers pause to ob- serve the red brick church with the his- toric belfry, It was here the lantern hung warning Paul Revere of the approach of the British nearly two centuries ago. Turning to our left we follow a little lane leading up a hill on which is located an aged cemetery. The names of old revolutionary patriots and their wives, Iilezer, Hiram, Abigail and Agatha, find a fitting setting in the! cracked and crumbling markers.. From the top of the hill Boston harbor presents itself to view. Huge chimnied tsteamers are seen far outsin the water, while smaller clus- tered fishing schooners cling dependent- ly'to the'shore. ' As we stand looking' out over the water, a fresh sea wind blows across our faces, andf'we feel' it is bringing to this old city life andflspring' once more. MY LAKE I i lXIARY FARLEY, HIC lake is crystalline and blueg na- ture seems to smile on whatever you do. The shore glistens and if you listen you hear birds singing, bringing their song to you. The water gleams and in the sky the sun beams and streams on you with its golden warmth. On the shore, the firs rise majestically and sigh in the gentle breeze. Huddled in the shadows are cabins, the owners of which are fish- Page Tl11'rz'y-Eiglzt ing where the clear, clear waters flow. Suddenly the scene changes as tlie--Skies darken and if you harken you can hear the rumbled thunder and the water is jumbled. The winds roar and the wild birds soar, high, high in the air. The waves dash high and clash with the sands as the lightenings flash overhead. But I love that lake--in all its ways-and those days there make dreams no one can take. THE FORVM GOSSIP GENEVIEVE COTHRAN, '35 C5 H, Mrs. Flannigan, an' hive ye heard? The O'Harrys is losin' their plyce. Oh, are they now? Tch! Tch! Sich a pity! An' it bein' give to thim by his great uncle 'ere he went West three summer ago. Yes, indeed. An' as I was a-goin' by the plyce this mornin' I noticed a big movin' van by the door. Thatys how I knew. 'T must he real urgent, their movin' out on sich short notice. My! My! How little we suspict of the goin's on right here under our very noses. And the two ladies sighed in mutual hopelessness. Yoo! Hoo! Oh, Mrs. Mallory! Come on over a minute. A bustle, a rustle, and the good lady stands at attention inside Mrs. Flannigan's living room. Oh, an' I have a poor piece of news for ye. dearie. Jim O'Harry, what did our plummin' here two years ago, is a- losin' his plyce. VVcll, I swan t' goodness! Tch! Tch! Did you ever? ! VVell, I must hurry home and phone Marthy. She'l1 be real interested to know. I-Ie's been doin' a bit of plummin' for her last month. Has he, now?! VVell! Isn't it too had. though? An' his fine son just start- in' in college. He'll probably have to quit an' take a job. VVhat'll they do? I bet his wife's real cut up about it. And, come to find out, the poor man was merely buying a piano. Such is gossip'. VVe rail about gossip: we condemn gossipg we glance disdain- fully at those who gossipg yet gossip continues. I imagine Eve gossiped in the Garden of Eden. Perhaps she told Adam how the lion snubbed the tiger. Probably Mrs. Caesar condemned Cleopatra to her maid-in-waiting. Gossip is the evil genie which lurks THE F OR VM everywhere, ready to tear down a good reputation, ready to drive fine men from their community. As a rule, only women gossip. It is one of the traits of the feminine char- acter which makes some men avowed women-haters. VVho is more hateful, who is more dis- liked, who is more destructive of char- acter than a gossiper? So often gossip aims its poison fangs at young people. Idle folk just love to sit at ease with old friends, shocking them and being shocked with unreason- able stories of the wildness of their neighbors' children and the disreputable hours of their home-coming. What's wrong with their memories? Can't they remember the times the mare dozed at the hitching-post while their escorts bade them a lingering good night? Can't they remember the times they took off their shoes before entering the house and straddled a squeaky board in the hall? VVomen, fill your minds with worth- while things. Don't lower yourselves to the level of gossip. Nature abhorrs a vacuum, and if nothing else occupies your mind, you will probably start your imagination working on your neighbors. Have a hobby, an organization, for in- stance, into which you can throw your excess energy. NVomen, as you value your daintiness, be ladies! Ladies don't gossip! .l0 HEADLINE IN THE MAKING IIELEN GEBBIE, '34 A sinister shack, A sullen, starlcss sky, A slzof. . a sllriek.. a second shot.. Silence. Page Thirty-Nine BEAN SUPPERS ANITA STEWART N the first place they aren't suppers at all. The beans never make their ap- pearance before eleven at night and therefore one would suppose they might be properly called bean lunches. How- ever, I didn't originate these bean parties and so had no say whatever in the matter. These bean sup- leaves floating around in your cup. And then too, everyone must have a hunk of bread. I haven't yet discovered just how they cut it, but I have a strong inclina- tion to suppose they employ the axe for this operation. If you are a very lucky person, you may happen to go to a bean supper w h e r e there is butter to pers seem to cons- titute the only form of amuse- ment the back- woodsmen of northern Canada participate in. It seems very odd to me that the beans should play such an important part in the get-to- gether, for there's not much to be said of the beans themselves. They're just plain beans. Not only do they lack salt and pepper, but to cook any meat with them would be considered a high crime or mis- demeanor. They are not baked, merely boiled. To perk them up a little with vinegar or ketchup is un- h e a r d of and THE STARS MARGARET CONVVAY, l34 I stood on the top of the hill And silently gazed around O'er a weary world who had gone to rest- .fil world whom the darkness lzad found. So suddenly now Caine a change And one lone star became nigh: A star of sorrow and hope and joy As it radiantly shone in the sky. Soon other stars came twinkling forth. Each lending a glory di1'ine. How very friendly they seemed to be- .lust like some old friend of mine! Once more I gazed at the weary world- The world who had gone to rest: Then bark to that beauty on high, More beauteous than ever I'd guessed. lt made nze want to Colne back each night To be with my twinkling friends, And learn the lessons which only they give, They-the stars-whose glory God sends! e m b r a c e t h e bread, but some- how I don't seem to have any luck in this respect. If fate is kind and you happen to live within three or four miles of your host, within walk- ing distance that is, you are indeed fortunate. A chil- ly ride in a wired- together car of unknown make, over roads more like washboards than anything else, is e n o u g h to create enthusiasm in the mo st ardent hater of beans. And when, just to show you are a good sport, you have indulged in a swim, and water from your hair drips down your would be regarded as an insult to the host. But the beans are not the only delicacy of this sumptuous repast, served at eleven sharp. Everyone is cordially in- vited to partake of some luke-warm water. Pardon me! I should have said tea, for there are, generally, a few tea Page Forty neck, and your clothes seem to have shrunk to smaller dimensions, and the moon, instead of giving off heat, smiles down coolly upon you-well, what could be nicer? ' The fire, however, is the crowning at- traction of the evening. The ravenous mosquitoes are driven from the delicate Tl-IE FORVM morsels they have chosen for their re- freshments at the bean supper, and very few people mind the stinging smoke in their eyes although there are some who grumble and weep copiously about it. And when, after the riotous supper of beans, a rural egotist favors you with a mournful rendition of the song that never grows tiresome namely, May I sleep in your barn tonight, mister, you are expected to applaud enthusiastical- ly and ask for another tune. No one minds this, of course and soon you are pleased to hear the Strawberry Roan slightly off tune, but what's a little har- mony among friends? After the fire dies down, a gentleman in blue overalls will carefully escort you to your Rolls Royce, and if the car doesn't break down, you reach home within two or three hours. Your com- panion guides you safely from the road to the door of the cottage, just in case a chipmunk should get ferocious. And then you say truthfully, of course, Good-night. I've had a most amusing time. CHAIRS MARION LINNEY, '34 A few months ago, I stood before a furniture display, a sittingroom de luxe, such as only the Comptroller of the Moneybags could conceivably possess. Yet its unattainability did not mean that my fellow men and I were not privileged to gorge ourselves on a dream of presid- ing over such a room in whole or part. I watched the milling crowd and its reactions to the exhibit. Each individual had his own opinion to express. I-Iow perfectly gorgeous! It,s well balan- ced. Ain't it swell, though? I saw a frail old woman, handsomely patched, approach. Her gaze riveted on a cush- ioned rocking chair, a world of longing in her eyes. A harassed business man, weary of exhaustion, glanced at the en- ticing armchair, gulped and nearly ran away. A tiny child recognized in the arm of the wing back chair a place especially designed for him to cuddle in and was irresistibly impelled to weep. In the unceasing merry-go-round of every day life, we pass over chairs as too paltry to mention. Yet where, outside of bed, do we spend most of our time? Standing up? No, seated in some form of chair. What is a chair? Wfebster defines it as a movable seat with a back, for one person. Does a chair mean only that to you? I can give a score of definitions THE FORVM of a chair, corresponding to my mood of the moment. I believe that each chair has a personality that attracts like per- sonalities as a magnet. Years ago, no house was a home until it had a morris chair before the fire. During the day, it had dozens of chil- dren . . . well, at least four, continually in its capacious, welcoming lap. It served as a house, a cave, a horse, a cart, or a hobo-goblin. A chair it never was, even at night, when mother, father or grand- father sat there, swarmed under by bois- terous, loving children. At such times, it was a throne, from whence came the stories that heralded bed time. In sick- ness or in health, the old morris chair was the center of the family. Only chil- dren and those people who found com- radeship in children sought and were welcomed in the morris chair. Today, the morris chair has been sup- planted by a much more comfortable chair, the lounge chair. But there is something wrong with this chair! As its name implies, it was made to lounge in and that is all it's good for. It's too comfortable! To me, it is just an oc- casional chair. I feel I must be present- ably attired to dare to become familiar with such a dignified, seductive chair. The old fashioned wing chair which has regained popular favor has more Page Forty-One reason for usurping the morris chair as a family shrine. Why are there so many pictures of mothers and children in wing back chairs? Why does a little child tuck one leg under him and snuggle in one corner of such a chair with Robinson Crusoe ? Vllhy does grandmother snooze in one? Because it is an artistic, expres- sive chair. It stands for beauty, sta- bility and home. Rocking chairs are now becoming oddities. People who a few years ago would have frozen with horror at the lack of a rocking chair now refuse to countenance one. I'm very glad, for I can't see the object in everlasting motion that gains nothing but diminished energy and which tantalizes my nerves to the breaking point. There are few chairs more enjoyable than the modern overstuffed ones, but these attract all types. It amuses me to BLOSSOM TIME ELECTA Ticiz, '34 'Tis blossom time, and fragrance sweet ls rwafted through each leafy bower, As grasses reazfe lllIlflClSl the breeze, And sunlight drifts o'er every flower.

Page Forty-Two watch a corpulent, cerise clad woman choose the softest, plumpest chair and, serenely oblivious, resemble an over- flowing, crimson lake. Then, there are period chairs, straight chairs and reed chairs, one for every personality. VVhy should we sit on couches, beds, davenports or stools, or even stand up, when such an outlay awaits us? Even as we once played a game with chairs, Going to Jerusalem, let us once more play a game, that of choosing our chairs to match our per- sonalities and our moods. I would change the poet's expression, I would live in a house by the side of the road And be a friend to man. For me, it would read, I would sit in a chair by the side of a friend And be at peace with man. EVENING KATHERINE DOYLE, '34 It was a mild summer's evening in late August and the placid blue Water lazily reflected all the nearby land- scape. The verdant grass nodded sleep- ily in the lulling breeze. Crowded close down to the water were several pic- turesque gray stone houses whose small rectangular windows peered out into the gathering darkness. The little square stone chimneys squatted on weather- beaten, moss-covered roofs. A little rutty road rounded one of the houses and then disappeared in the distance. Down this road the patient oxen were wearily plodding home from the fields, stop- ping for a refreshing drink. Several giant elm trees stood sentinel over the forest-clad little settlement. In the dis- tance the forest-clad hills were silhou- etted against the constantly changing sky, whose soft colors were quickly fad- ing into the darkness. And night, lit by a myriad of tiny stars, fell like a blanket over everything. THE FORVM isnimroaimis H SOMETHING IS WRONG The students of this school are particularly favored by their frequent assem- blies. We are also fortunate in the fine types of programs which entertain us. Perhaps it hadn't occurred to you that assemblies similar to ours in many schools are occasional and very special events. Indeed few schools we believe have had a program with such a speaker as Dr. McAndrews of Chicago, whom you especially remember for his remark, Has anyone here seen Kelly? Also of exceptional merit are the one act plays so fully and carefully prepared for Monday mornings. Realizing these things it is well to consider just how we are to receive the results of so much time and effort. When the sole purpose of the speaker or the play is to make the assembly laugh, everything is fine. Everyone laughs when and where he is supposed to and a couple of times more and applauds heartily at the end. However, some people realize the human race is on this earth for more of a purpose than laughing. For that reason at intervals we find more serious pro- grams in assembly. It is our attitude toward these that is to be considered. Plays of a serious nature are of infrequent occurences. That we seem unable to appre- ciate these real plays is unfortunate. Some of our solemn religious festivals, such as Christmas and Easter, have been celebrated by programs in assembly, which have been received by some pupils in rather a hilarious manner. VVe suggest that these offending people think how it would seem to them to be on the stage, after weeks of preparation, giving a play and being laughed at. VV hat is not particularly interesting to us, we should remember, may be very attractive to others. The time has come to erase from the program of the school such conduct so incon- sistent with the usual action of the student body. Perhaps the situation isn't as hopeless as it seems. The manner in which the assembly recently received a recital by a ten year old pianist was quite com- mendable. To most the program was full of interest. The others, however, had the courtesy to remain quiet. This sane attitude is needed on all occasions. SO WHAT? Numerous schools throughout the country have what is known as student government. There is even an organization called The National Association of Student Government, which has a membership of several thousand groups. The purpose of these organizations is, generally speaking, To participate in the ad- ministration of certain activities of the school, particularly those activities which are strictly student or pertain to student-faculty relationshipsf' Of course, literal- ly speaking, there is no such thing as absolute student government, because the state education laws place the authority of government in the hands of the prin- cipal of the school and no student organization can relieve him of this respon- sibility. However such organizations do at least offer students an opportunity defi- nitely to have a voice in the affairs, that directly relate to them. Such an organi- zation offers also an opportunity to develop the judgment later invaluable for good citizenship, and to form a strong and advantageous school spirit, and interest in school proceedings. THE FORVJU Page Forty-Three Needless to say, however, not all attempts of student government are suc- cessful, nor are all schools in favor of it. The idea and stimulus for student gov- ernment must come from the students themselves. It cannot be forced upon them. The adaptation which any school chooses must be carefully worked out. Per- haps the whole organization will not be an immediate success: the prestige and influence of such an organization cannot be developed all at once. The success of a student government organization will not come like a flash. It will come as a dull light with a steady and continuous growth, with new features and de- velopments every year, until it is thoroughly a part of school life. In an effort to find the value of student government letters were sent to ten different schools. Information was received from eight of them: the high schools of Lackawanna, Batavia, Kenmore, Niagara Falls, North Tonawanda, Monroe High School of Rochester, Muskegon High School of Muskegon, Michi- gan, and from the Northern State Teachers' College. Of these eight only one, Lackawanna, had no form of student government. VVe judge from the material at hand, gathered from these schools that the usual organization of a student government association is as follows: an assembly, which consists of representatives of each home room, and extra curricular or- ganization, and which does any legislative or discussion work: a council which consists of the elected officers of the assembly with faculty representation and does the executive work. In the Batavia and Muskegon high schools, and in the Northern State Teachers' College this council sometimes handles matters of dis- cipline, so that this body may be both executive and judicial. The amount of power the council has depends on the schoolg constitutions differ. Meetings of the assem- bly and council are usually held twice a month, or whenever meetings are necessary. Any member of the school may attend assembly meetings but only delegated mem- bers may vote. An organization such as this might be very valuable. It might provide many interesting assemblies, assist the extra curricular organizations already existent, train students in self government, and increase that important school spirit. Such an organization would not be entirely unparalleled. Even now, Lockport High School has a bit of student government in its Athletic Council. But a larger organization, a student government association, could be developed in the school. It would give students valuable training in citizenship. Q The Senior meetings of this year have been particularly lively and interesting. Seniors participating in their organizations meeting have not only really enjoyed it but have obtained through it knowledge and experience concerning public meet- ings. A body such as a student government organization, aside from the work it may do in the school, offers to all students experience in public contact. The Senior meetings serve to bring the members of the class together The class of '34 would be quite a spiritless thing if it had not been welded to- gether in class meetings. Likewise a student government body would do much the same for the school. After reading this editorial it may occur to you that it is quite too late to es- tablish any such organization this year. So VVhat? you will think. The pur- pose of this editorial is not, to start immediately a student government associa- tion, but to bring the idea of student govermnent to you, so that next year the members of the school will have ideas on this subject for themselves. Then will be an opportunity to discuss further the wisdom and feasibility of establishing such an organization in Lockport High School. Pagc Forty-Four ' THE FORVZW LIST', IF YOU WILL! Yea, verily, I say unto you, Awaken! The long-anticipated day of judgment is at hand l Soon comes the day when all who sleep must wake, to face .,,. What? Those who have slept thirty-eight weeks, or even several years, must arise, rub the sleep from their eyes and take up the instruments of scribes. Oh, poor souls, unless their dreams and nightmares have encompassed the subjects so adroitly concealed on the paper of white printed in black, they may as well slumber on. Whether or not the Dream Fairy has so watched o'er them, they are doomed to days and nights of anxious waiting, when she will send no nocturnal messenger with blessed oblivion. Finally will come the day when sentence will be pronounced. just within the Door of judgment, upon a board, glass-covered so that their aching, palsied fingers may not grasp the fatal leaf, the judge's decision will hang, for all to see. Yea, ye sleepers, the judges irrevocable pronouncement rests with you. What will ye have it be? Come, I beseech! Do not wait until the Dream Fairy sends Nightmare Regents to call you to dread judgment! Awake! Throw off the sonmiferous cloak! Hark to the bugle, clear and sweet! Come forth! Now! -Marion Linney, '34. GOOD-BYE AND I-IELLGU The time has now arrived for Seniors the world over to say good-bye to their old and Well-established routine, and to Welcome bravely and gaily the future -smiling or frowning as the case may be. Surely we graduates of Lockport High School, going forth into a world unsettled and depressed, seething with the chaotic conditions of the times, know ourselves to be as well-equipped mentally as any high school students the world may offer for competition. However, intelligence is not the only standard on which we are to be rated as we leave our school. Cer- tain traits of dependability, honesty, loyalty, courage in the face of discouragement, and patience are not to be overlooked and despised. So as we say farewell and turn our backs on high school days, let us stop for a moment and be thankful for those sentiments of fair play and courtesy which have unconsciously been instilled in our minds during the years at Lockport High School. And when we turn our faces toward the unknown, unexplored paths ahead of us, let us keep always in our memories the thought that friends of high school days are not only wishing us the best of everything in life, but also that they ex- pect us to meet our upsets and disasters cheerfully. Those of us who leave school with no definite plans to follow must look about and take advantage of every opportunity offered, no matter how insignificant it may seem to be on the surface. If we cannot obtain a paying position immediately, why worry about it? At least we can go on gaining friends and seeking out knowledge for ourselves. Thus, when opportunity does come our way, we shall not be rusted and warped from lack of use but always ready and eager for our chance to make good. Let it be said of the l934 graduates of Lockport High School that we greeted the World with a smile, and with willingness to accept our share of the responsibilities of life. -Anita L. Stewart, '34, THE FORVIW Page Forty-Five TR IUTIES MISS RANSOM IT is with deepest regret that the students and teachers of L.H.S. learn of the resignation of Miss Mary Ran- som. Though she has earned the peace and rest of retirement, how can her place in the hearts of her pupils ever be filled by another? Through many years her sympathy, patience, kindness and wisdom have served as beacons along the paths of learning within these historic walls. Her quiet dignity and gracious manners have set an example for the young people who have come under her influence. By precept and ex- ample she has set their feet in the paths of industry and self-reliance. Her ready wit and deep knowledge of her subject vitalized her teaching and guided many a faltering step successfully through the labyrinth of examinations. No pupil knew her but to love her, nor named her but to praise. The faculty joins with the student body in wishing her many happy years. -Frances B. Sipson. THE members of the class of 1910 have many fond recollections cen- tered around our school days in connec- tion with Miss Mary Ransom. You see some of us had her for a teacher in the -lth grade at the old Union School, in Sth grade under Miss Cross, and also for latin or algebra in High School. She was one of our very popular chaperones at parties, and as our class was just 40 in number, we all knew each other very Page Forty-Sir well. just this spring in house cleaning I came across a flashlight picture taken at Ruth Gloger's home the night of a class sleighride. This picture, with Miss Ransom included, started a long train of memories. Queer as it seems, after a few years the pleasant ones last and any unpleasant ones fade into nothing. Of course every former student of Lockport High School will agree with me that Miss Mary Ransom was always our warm friend, wise councilor and understanding teacher. She has a warm place in our hearts. Florence Ferree Patterson, '10 MISS PIERCE IN September 1905 Miss Eunice M. Pierce, a graduate of Cornell, joined the Lockport High School faculty. She has been here ever since. It was my privilege to be in three of her classes that first year: solid geome- try, trigonometry, and physics-rather tough subjects indeed for a new teach- er to undertake. That she handled them most satisfactorily-far better than many an instructor of greater experi- ence-I can truly testify. Moreover, just as throughout her career, she made friends rapidly among faculty and stu- dents. Originally engaged to teach mathe- matics, she had not expected to teach physics. Because of the increased regis- tration, however, she was assigned a class in this subject. In fact she per- formed the difficult task of installing and equipping a physics laboratory-an THE FORVM innovation that the Regents inspectors had long been recommending. I am sure that Miss Pierce will never forget those strenuous weeks and will agree that the first hundred days are the hardest. The physics lab was in that part of the building where the art department is now located. VVe had quite resented the extra work involved in doing a num- ber of complicated experiments, but Miss Pierce soon won us over by her helpful manner. The periods spent in the lab- oratory proved interesting, profitable, and were good fun too. Few perhaps realize Miss Pierce's constructive part in organizing this work and it seems appropriate to mention it now. After her first year she taught only mathematics, in which field the re- sults she has obtained are so well known and so eminently successful as to require no further comment. I regret exceedingly that she was never my home room teacher. There were no home rooms in my day, all the high school, except the commercial de- partment, being quartered in one large study hall in charge of the principal. This large room, by the way, was even- tually partitioned off to form three smaller rooms: those now occupied by Miss Pierce, Miss Ransom, and the girls' study group across the hall. Hence I missed the most conspicuous part of Miss Pierce's teaching--her splendid work in the home room. In this very important field she has had an extraordinary success, of which the annual reunion of her boys during the Christmas holidays is beautiful proof. It has become a real event in the life of the school. The boys of those earlier years, how- ever, when the enrollment was so much smaller, had the advantage of knowing her first and of receiving a larger share of her time. As a member of her very first classes I shall always think of her with sincere gratitude and tremendous respect. -R. Donald Moore, 1907 THE FOR V M EVOTION to work or to an ideal is an admirable trait of character. It isione that we admire in Miss Pierce. She has given unreservedly of her time to her pupils not only in connection with their school Work but also in connection with their activities. Two personal incidents illustrate this fact.. In my senior year I wanted to take Trigo- nometry, but for some reason my sched- ule could not be arranged so that I could get into the regular class. So Miss Pierce said to me I'll give you what help you sneed during my free period: I appre- ciated the favor then, but I appreciate it more now because I know how many things a teacher has to do during that period. The other thing that I appreciat- ed greatly was when I wanted to take an examination in advanced mathematics. Incidentally, that examination with others resulted in a scholarship of con- siderable worth. I had had all the high school mathematics except Solid Geom- etry, which I needed. So Miss Pierce gave up several evenings to teach me the main topics of that subject. When you realize how many times this story with varying details could be duplicated, you know why we are sorry to have her leave us and why she will long be remember- ed in this school and by her pupils. In his article Why Are Teachers Don Herold, the humorist, says I had out of my 60 teachers, a scant half dozen who couldn't have been surplanted by phonographsf' Again speaking of one of his teachers he says he threw me a torch-not merely so many cold pota- toes. I believe you will agree with me that Miss Pierce is not a phonograph nor does she throw cold potatoes. She has done what every true teacher should dog she has thrown the torch, she has illuminated life for many a boy and girl, not, however, by teaching of mere sub- ject matter. XVe all join in giving her our best wishes. -Olive Whitwell, Page Forty-Seven HONOR RULL Harry Andrews .... Catherine Angelo .. J. Howard Anstead.. Catherine Archie .. Harold Argue .....

Yes, it's Mr. Roy Kelley, our genial Superintendent of Schools. His operetta, Forest Goblinsf' was pre- sented at the Charlotte Cross school Thursday and Friday evenings, May 17th and 18th. It was directed by Helen Leonard Callahan. The moving spirit of the operetta was the capture of a gypsy maid fMarie De Nardoj by Baeno, commander of the Goblins Cjake Glassnerj acting on the orders of the Goblin King fLaverne Beakman and Arthur McEnroe, one each eveningj. Soon there blooms a love affair, and a wedding results, with Frances Marie Barone the page with the ring. Solo dances were very well executed by Mrs. T. Bernard Rooney and Fran- ces Marie Barone. The Gypsy ensemble was well repre- sented by the Seventh and Eighth grades. The Goblins were the fourth, fifth, and sixth grade boys, while our dainty little fairies were the fourth, fifth and sixth grade girls. The dance director was Mrs. T. Ber- nard Rooney, with Mrs. May Nottle- man Luce the accompanist. VVhile leaving the auditorium, your correspondent overheard this snatch of conversation: Didn't you just enjoy every bit of it? What more can we say? OUR APPLE QUEEN On April 29, 1916 at Olcott, New York was born a girl destined to become Lockport High School's candidate for the Apple Blossom Queen. You've guessed it--Betty Leonard! Page Fifty Like all temperamental young things the desire to do just the opposite from what others expect of her for the sake of starting an argument is deeply root- ed in her personality. Believe it or not she actually dislikes to act her age on the grounds that it doesn't become her. C Somehow that sounds unfamiliar, nicht wahr?j However, she again runs true to form when it comes to talking and chewing gum under unfavorable cir- cumstances. But here's where the orig- inality in Betty runs riot. Whisper this -she dotes on attending formal dances in sport attire and vice versee. Here's a hint for starting a conver- sation, you Leonard fans. Ask Betty her views on woman suffrage, disarma- ment, or Phillipine independence. Take your pick and prepare yourselves for a surprise. THE STATE COMMERCIAL CONTEST This year it has been proven that Lockport High School need not look only to her athletic and debating teams to win awards for her, for students of the Commercial department both in dis- trict and state contest have brought back laurels to their Alma Mater. Those who obtained first, second or third places in the district contest were qualified to en- ter the state competition held at Syracuse. Accordingly, Friday, May 20, Emil Eglin, Herbert Muktarian, winners of book-keeping awards and Genevieve Cothran and Jeannette Hutchings with typewriting medals met Miss Madsen and Mr. Tavrow at the west side of the high school g with beating hearts and high hopes they piled into two Chevys and headed for Syracuse. They arrived in THE FORVM that important city just in time to see Joe Penner in person. After the theatre, the little group returned to the Mizpah Hotel and Y. M. C. A. to dream of gold- en loving cups and shining medals. Morning brought the eventful day and the contestants assembled in Slocum Hall of Syracuse University for final instructions. ....,... It wasn't long be- fore it was all over and while teachers checked the papers, our party viewed and explored the college campus. It is easy to imagine the excitement when the contestants met once more,- this time to hear the results! We can take much pride in knowing that among 70 crack typists Genevieve Cothran won for Lockport third place in the contest. The fact that our contestants did not all win prizes does not mean that they are not good scholars. If one has an ex- ceptionally nervous temperament, it puts him at a disadvantage. Also there was an average of 50 contestants in each of the 7 events. Too, the competition was exceptionally keen. For example, in shorthand the winner scored 99.31 g 2nd, 99.063 3rd, 98.85 4th, 98.75 5th 98.33. In Book-keeping the winner made 87 'Z while the 18th was only 7 points lower with a score of 8011. It was indeed a big honor even to be eligible to contest and our school is to be congratulated that it was represented by such able and competent students. DISTRICT CONTEST APRIL 28, 1934 April 28, 1934 was an eventful day for many of the Lockport High School students, for that was the day the dis- trict contest in commercial subjects was held, at Qrchard Park. Miss Madsen had been drilling her typing pupils for many weeks. Every week, and toward the last, two or three times a week, she would spring on us, a fifteen minute speed drill which would induce most of the students to a touch THE FOR VM of terrorism. But, did they work! You never saw such industrious pupils. She finally decided to select six girls to enter the contest, three as a team and three as individuals. Team Individuals Carolyn Barone Genevieve Cothran Betty Taylor Jeannette Hutchings Alma Bencene Stella Hamm Mr. Meyers, also, had been working with his arithmetic pupils. Those select- ed to enter for arithmetic were: Team Individuals Stella Hamm Stella Hamm Jeannette Hutchings Jeannette Hutchings Harvey Spearin Harry Andrews The other contestants for other com- mercial subjects were as follows: Shortliand I Individually Donna Goodman Herbert Muktarian Shortlzaurl II Team Individuals Betty Timkey Jean Hughes Ruth Arlington Betty Timkey Lillian Wasvary Mary Szur Herbert Muktarian ...., Bookkeeping I Emil Eglin ...,...... Bookkeeping II All of us, were looking forward to, yet dreading the arrival, of the eventful day. Finally it came upon us! We all met at the high school at 8:30 Saturday morning, just a little bit nervous. The contests began at 10:15, but all of them weren't finished until about 11:30. We then had to wait until 1:00 for the results. They were given in the gymnasium of the high school at Or- chard Park. Now, this was the time when most of us were exceedingly ner- vous. All ears and eyes were strained toward the gentleman giving the results. I..ockport's were as follows: Typing I Genevieve Cothran ..,....,.. 2nd place Jeannette Hutchings , . . .... 3rd place The team .... . . , . .... . . 2nd place Page Fifty-One Arithmetic The team .,....,,.....,.... lst place Bookkeeping I Herbert Muktarian ...,,... 2nd place Bookkeeping II Emil Eglin .. ..,..,,....... lst place As a total Lockport and Orchard Park received 8 points each with Tona- wanda forging ahead with 12.

The individual winners of lst, 2nd, or 3rd places and the team winners of lst or 2nd places now go to Syracuse, May 19th, to compete in the state finals. Come on, everybody! Let's see what you can do to honor your high school further. Everybody be on your toes for May l9, l934.-Jeannette Hutchings. AUTO SHOP VVe auto-shop inhabitants are very much neglected by the main building of L. H. S. and mostly because we are in a different port a few leagues north oi headquarters. ln our dismal basement the L. H. S. students learn the manly art of hammer- ing dents and removing parts without the use of the usual hack saw. Our ever beloved instructor Admiral E. D. Fay, as he is called, has the well known battle ship Buick all overhaul- ed and ready for the summer runs to and from Syrause. Don't be alarmed folksies, it'll be back again next year. It is also here where prominent lads acquire those fine school-girl com- plexions. Maybe you don't believe that. VVell! just take a glimpse of George Vancleaf and see for yourselves. I am also aware of the fact that one John D. Murphy is quite a man with the op- posite sex. CThat hair ought to get any girl.j VVe have handled everything from 'KT's to Classy Auburns. Owing to the welcome donation of a rare collection of Page Fifty-Two old cars by Mike Laport, alias Kugler ll. From this same collection most of us have learned a helpful lot of infor- mation about cars in general. See you in Port Regents Jud. LeValley. . O1.-. VVilliam F. VVylam, student in Lock- port High School, is a well known Aero- nautical draftsman. He became noted by his skill in drawing complete engi- neering plans of airplanes. He is known all over the United States and Canada in Model Aircraft and Aeronautical cir- cles. Although he had lost his hearing in an automobile accident, his ears will be normal in a year. Some of his plans are attracting the attention of several aircraft factory of- ficials. Theodore P. VVright, Vice-presi- dent and general manager of the Curtiss- VV right Airplane and Motor Company, said Mr, VVylam shows unusual talents in aeronautical engineering and design. His plans are perfect in details and are somewhat superior to factory drawn blueprints. I would not be surprised to see Mr. NVylam, chief engineer within a few years time, as he surely shows that he belongs to that 37,000 job. Some of Mr. VVylam's plans and pic- tures appeared in several leading aero- 2 ri X-1' 'X A mhmfw X X F vel flee an air Ni E ?5l7EfE'.:3f7 I Tblegfg- ho4hFnJu1rf0fP XG: Jhaknffvarv treevlf- 5 F il elf? 5 , Q -'25 dj? fi it Jvnlov-3 OD!!

GRADUATE AMUSEMENTS One balmy spring day, our revered editor-in-chief, having nothing better to do, hied himself to a writing desk and dashed off this epistle to one of those ever present radio pests, Voice of Ex- perience. Here is the letter and the reply: My dear Dr. Harad, I am a young man of 35, having been married -for the past 15 years. We have two lovely children, one eight and the other ten, and so far my life has been a very happy one. Of late, word is about town that my wife has been keeping company C secret- lyj with a gentleman I thought to be my best friend. I have no first hand knowledge of this unfaithfulness, and my wife is as sweet as ever, but I have a business trip to make this Friday, and I don't know whether to go or not. VVill you please answer me before Friday by mail, because my wife listens to your programs regularly. Hopefully yours, Jay A. Noble, jr. Nora: I here will be printed the answer, on attached letter head, then will follow comment. j Dear Friend: I am indeed happy to welcome you to my large and ever-increasing circle of radio friends. Each year I receive many thousands of letters from people in every walk of life and from all parts of America. It is indeed gratifying to feel that I can be of some service to so many people. In answering your questions, let me explain again that all of my work is based upon the science of psychology and my own developed theory of first THE FORVAI impression. My work is not to be con- fused with fortune telling or any of the occult sciences. In giving you the bene- fit of many years of experience in deal- ing with the problems of life I merely express my own opinions and view- points. Your wife is doing no wrong, pay no attention to what people say if you do you will have no end of trouble, people are jealous about your happiness and will misconstrue any action on your wife's part to cause trouble, simply do not allow any one to tell you anything. Do not let your wife know you mis- trust herg that is the easiest way to drive a woman out. She is capable of protect- ing herself. You need have no fear to devote your thoughts to your business. Again thanking you for the interest which you have displayed in my work and with kindest wishes for your future success and happiness, I ani, very Truly yours, Dr. Chas. F. I-larad. But in case anyone should be inquisi- tive maybe we better tell you what it is really about. lf one were to think hand he might remember that during the win- ter we had some debates. One of the ar- guments which we used was that fra- dulent and deceptive programs were broadcast over the radio. In order to back up the argument we thought it best to secure an actual incident. The club produced this masterpiece, it sure proves something doesn't it? PASSING REVUE Have you often smelled the delicious aromas emanating from the Domestic Science room and wondered just what was going on? VVell, the secret's out! About 30 girls have joined the Home Economics Club. This Club has lunch- eons twice a week on Monday. The girls prepare the refreshments Ccocoa and a sustaining saladj in their classes. Page Fifty-Three Several speakers have lent variety to the programs - Miss Alt, Mr. Buck- minster, and Miss Snyder were speak- ers of note. The last meeting of this club will be a picnic at Olcott Beach. Pk if if And you missed something if you stayed out during Oral English Week! Several One Act plays by Sally Craw- ford, Rick Hilderman, Margaret Con- way, and Anita Stewart were really as- tonishing in their originality. Individual acts were well done. also. F'rinstance. Mary Farley's impersonation of a gum- chewing office applicant was great! Glenn Mudge plus a cotton batton mus- tache equaled a perfect bachelor. Joey Hawkes brought us the heart-rending story of a busy office manager who married his secretary the nite before, and promptly forgot it the next morn. Kay Cramer was the forgotten woman! Kenneth Tracy gave an interesting talk on stamps, illustrated with his well- stocked album, while John Stacy's stereopticon lecture was a highlight of this unique week.

Yessirree, Boblj CLOAK ROOM GOSSIP Many times I have walked along the street and as I passed groups talking, I have often overheard part of a sen- tence. Sometimes what I hear does not make sense, as I didn't hear enough of it. Sometimes, tho, I hear too much! It has often been the latter case when I walk thru the Girls' cloakroom on the second floor. WVe all know that a girl's weakness is talking, and I found it too exceptionally true in this particular cloakroom. As I walked verree, 'verree slowly thru the cloakroom, this is what I heard- Lillian, bring out my coat. Get it yourself. I can't find my hat.

THE SENICR GIRL RESERVES First of all, a brief resume of what we have done during the past year. At different times, we have been entertain- ed by the following speakers: Miss Bea- trice Jones who gave dramatic read- ings, Miss Ruth Bosserman who talked on The Care of the Hair, Mr. Rey- nolds who told us of the work of the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Mrs. A. D. Palmer whose in- teresting subject was The History of Dress, and Mrs. E. A. Rogers who gave a series of two talks on her recent Mediterranean tour. VVe have also had several parties be- sides our regular dances. The first one was a Hallowe'en party, held in Novem- ber, a Valentme party at which we en- tertained about twenty-five small girls, and the party that the losers in the at- tendance contest gave for the Seniors, who were the winners. In February, a Father and Daughter Banquet was held at the Y. W. C. A. with Jeanne Upson as Master of Cere- monies and Reverend D. Livingstone as speaker. The success of this banquet led to our holding in May a Mothers and Daughters Banquet. Mary Pound was Master of Ceremonies this time and Reverend Harry Bergen gave the ad- dress. This banquet was just as great a success as its predecessor. Throughout the year, we have held numerous discussion and activities groups. The Contract Bridge group was led by Mrs. Runyan, the handcraft group by Miss Betty Jane Hageman, and the Discussions by Mrs. Robert Bishop, while Miss Beatrice Jones in- structed those interested in Dramatics. Everyone agrees that we derived much pleasure as well as knowledge from par- ticipation in these groups. Last March Catherine Cramer, Sally Lue Palmer, Rebecca Ann Perry, Mary Farley and Naomi Nelson attended the State Conference at Cortland, as a re- sult of which a highly successful Mock Conference was held here shortly after- wards. Those present were divided up into groups representing different cities, THE FORVM just as was done at the actual confer- ence. It lasted two days with discussion groups and a banquet Saturday, and a farewell service and tea Sunday. Mrs. VVillis P. Weaver led the International Relations Group, Mrs. Robert Bishop, the group on Personal Relations, and Reverend Livingstone, the group on Re- ligion. Mrs. Harry Ransom gave a most inspiring talk at the banquet Saturday evening. Those taking part in the dedica- tion service Sunday were Dorothy Stockwell, Margaret Conway, Irma Singleton, Rebecca Ann Perry, and Naomi Nelson. Reverend Ivan Lange also gave a short talk. Thus, we hope to repeat ourselves next year in an even bigger and better way than this. In June we held our annual garden party and Senior Tea, ending the year with a June Dance. This year's out-going officers are as follows: President-Margaret Conway. Vice-president-Catherine Cramer Secretary-Naomi Nelson Treasurer-Mary Jane Earon Chairman of Service Committee- Anita Stewart, Barbara Gifford. Mem- bers: Virginia Dittmer, Betty Olson, Virginia Kilberer Finance Committee-Virginia Pence, Betty Farley, Huldah Libbey, Dorothy Ferguson, Ruth Bennett, Alice Wilson, Rachel Manchester Social Committee--Sally Lue Palmer, Mary T olhurst, Jean Williams, Lillian Thomas, Ruth Hoffmaster, Elizabeth Armer Membership Committee - Catherine Cramer, Doris Shippy, Janet Otto, Clive Engert, Helen Gebbie, Genevieve Coth- ran, Mona VVagner, Betty Davis Program Committee- Mary Farley, Marie Bolton, Margaret Williams, Anna Margaret O'Reilly The officers for the coming year elected at a recent meeting are: President-Sally Lue Palmer Vice-president-Lorraine Rawlings Secretary-Ruth Hoffmaster Treasurer-Olive Engert Page Sixty-One vwfga, 4 my 455 gg 'A 1 Q. if fb wb 'y Q ji A' sf , Aff f ' X: Z A Z Q.

February 9th Dear Diary We had a lovely Candle lighting ser- vice today in which the girls promised to become worthy Girl Reserves. After this we served tea to the mothers. February l6th Dear Diary We had our first cooking lesson to- day. We learned to really cook but Miss Langkton showed us how to make a THE lfURI'.l1' f delicious frozen salad. It was lots of fun for a few girls demonstrated and the others helped. March lst Dear Diary Last week we had another cooking lesson and today we gave a buffet lunch- eon. Everyone helped prepare it and also helped to eat it. We learned just how such a luncheon should be served and it will prove very helpful. The months of March and April. Dear Diary I certainly have neglected you dread- fully but I'll try to make up for it. Mrs. A. D. Palmer spoke to us one week about etiquette which we all enjoyed. Another week Miss li. Forsey consent- ed to speak to us on care of the hair. Vtfe went through the Filtration Plant and the Telephone Company last week and the week before. May llth Dear Diary Thrills!

May 21st Dear Diary Today we had a Weiner roast. VVhat fun. W'e hiked out and explored the sur- roundings before eating. Then we built two fires and set to work on the food.

HI-Y The Hi-Y Club has completed another successful year. After all, it is with some regret that I write this final re- port. I know that all the officers have enjoyed serving Hi-Y during the past year, and they sincerely wish the best of good fortune to their successors. The retiring officers of 1933-1934 in- clude the following: President-Rodgers Bradley V ice-president-joseph Hawkes Secretary-Venice Smith Assistant Secretary-Robert Fraser. The officers for 1934-1935 are the following: President-Robert Watkins Vice-president-Martin Teal Treasurer-Eugene Patterson Secretary-Harold Garlock Assistant Secretary-Jay Bergen. The election was one of the most con- tested fights in the history of the or- ganization. Four weeks before the final meeting, four sets of candidates were nominated. Two weeks later, the two candidates with the highest number of votes for each office were chosen at a primary. At our final meeting, we held the election at which the officers for the ensuing year were chosen. A brief review of our activities this year will give an idea of how success- ful it has been. We began about the first of October with a new policy. We cut the cost of the suppers to twenty-five cents and charged only five cents dues per week to non-members of the Y. M. C. A. Vile have had many talks by local ministers and other prominent men, and we have had several social meetings. We have had two joint meetings with other organizations. One was with the Girl Reserves at which we had a lecture fac- companied by slidesj on the Passion Play. This meeting was thoroughly en- joyed by all. The next joint meeting was with the Young Men's Club at which ex-Commissioner Roche of Buf- falo spoke. This spring Bob Bishop, one of our advisers, took us on several visits to important industrial plants and to several churches. We visited the Federal Mill, the Steam Plant, the Race Street THE FOR VM Power Plant, St. Patrick's Church, and Grace Episcopal Church. A continuation of this policy is planned for next year, so that Hi-Y may see all the industrial and religious places in Lockport. We have tried to make this year's meetings both interesting and educational, and I believe we have succeeded. Hi-Y held seven dances this year, and all were both social and financial suc- cesses. The first, a Hallowe'en Dance, was held November 1, 1933. On Decem- ber 1, we held a Hard Time dance, at which a ripping good time was had by all. Our annual New Year's Dance was held january 1, 1934. On January 26, we held another dance, and the final one before Easter was held February 13. At our Easter Dance we had the added at- traction of a lunch at 11 o'clock, which was served in the Boys' Lobby. We had our largest attendance at this dance, at which over seventy-five couples were present. From the profits of these dances and an assessment of seventy-five cents per capita on the members of Hi-Y, we paid off last year's pledge of fifty-four dol- lars and this year's pledge of fifty dol- lars. This is more than any year of Hi-Y has ever done before. A great deal of credit is due to VVak Kunz, our adviser, for the success of Hi-Y during this past year. He has spent a great deal of time and effort toward making Hi-Y worth while, and all he ever received was a great deal of good- natured razzing. Nevertheless, under- neath all the razzing there was a great deal of respect and good feeling toward VVak because we know we could not succeed without him. Although the membership of Hi-Y was larger this year than usual, 1 be- lieve that many of the fellows in L.H.S. who are able to belong are missing the pleasures and benefits of Hi-Y. I hope that many more fellows will join Hi-Y next year and help make it bigger and better than ever before. The executive committee of 1933-34 extends its best wishes for a bigger a better Hi-Y to the officers of 1934-35 and the years to come. -Venice Smith, Secretary.

The club whose purpose is that of fur- thering dramatic interest in the high school is one of the comparatively younger organizations. This is but its fifth year. Already, however, the Club feels that it has built up a reputation for itself. The phrase. The animal produc- tion of the Dramatic Club, carries Z1 certain prestige which we believe is not found anywhere else. The members are sure that this year's play, That Fer- guson Family, helped a great deal to build up that influence. Another thing for which the Club is well known throughout the School, is its animal party. Although particulars have not yet been arranged, we strongly contend that this year's celebration for the passing of Old Man School Year will be the best so far. Page Si.rfy-.Sir The attendance throughout the winter and spring has continued to be more than satisfactory. Although the Club is younger than the others, our member- ship is the largest of any. Probably the most conspicuous evidence of the efforts of this large number is the plays with which so many assemblies have been en- tertained. Perhaps you didn't realize that assembly plays are entirely cast from and produced by the Dramatic Club. During the year, an etfort is made to use each member in a play. Wie have given many humorous plays and many serious ones, such as, Mansions and The Two Thieves, which you saw during Easter time. lfVe spend a great deal of time on these programs and are very glad if you enjoy them.

THE ART CLUB'S ANNUAL PRECIS Our Art Club, for the past year, has adhered to a plan of action among the rounds of school activities. Our Marionette Show and its cast consisted of the following members, Kenneth Dean. Marion Burns. Edith Deane, Sally Drusendahl, Jessie Koto- ski. Lulu McCarthy. Marion Muirhead, Maude Vedder Hilti Phyllis Wiare. Ed- ward Haber acted as stage manager. The Marionette Show was successfully produced four times in the city: in the Lockport High School, at the Masonic Temple, in the Baptist Church and St. -Iohn's School, the players being greeted with much applause. The money receiv- ed will be contributed toward the Stu- dents' Art Loan Fund. For the past few weeks the Puppet Club has been most active. This is some- thing entirely new in our school and, of THE FOR! 'M course, a novelty as well as a new ven- ture. So in doubt as to just what a pup- pet was, a pre-view of the show was staged in the weekly assembly on May 14th. Blue Beard, the play chosen for this pre-view, was met with warm en- thusiasm by the student body. Monday night, May 14th, the Puppet Club members produced their show in the drawing room to an appreciative au- dience. These workers included: Ken- neth Dean, Francis Beck, Herbert Clark, Jean Colbey, Audrey Dreher, Doro- thea Goff, Grace Crugliuzza, Laura Head, Gordon Kunkel, Howard Lee, Stella Spearin, Mary Taylor, Zinna. Kenneth Dean, president and co- worker, made the stage and most of the artistic and appropriate scenery assisted by Jean Stevenson. Next year ,we have hopes of contin- uing the Art Club activities on even a larger scale and with renewed vigor. e - -Edith Diane, Secretary.

On March 23, the annual concert was given, featuring three selections by the woodwind ensemble, composed of Mar- garet Trott, Robert Clark, Paul Daven- port, Oliver Pels, and Richard Boer- man. The brass quartet, including Franklin Dow, Venice Smith, XValter Vlfhybrew, and Thomas Barone, also rendered three numbers. The band play- Pagc Sixty-Eiglzt ed such nationally known selections as the Poet and Peasant Overture by Von Suppe, the Glow VVorm by Lincke, and March of Spring, a re- cent composition by Mr. Barone. A month before the concert, he offered two dollars for the best title submitted for this march, by members of the band. After careful consideration the title March of Spring was selected. Un May 10, the band concluded its public appearances with a demonstration in the Niagara Falls High School auditorium. Rehearsals will continue until the school year officially closes. The symphony orchestra rehearses regularly on Tuesdays, seventh period. The annual concert was given in the spring in conjunction with the glee and choral clubs. Selections from Dei Freischutzn by Von VVeher, Second Symphony by Haydn, and Hungarian Dances by Brahms were played. Re- hearsals in this group will continue until the end of school.

The concert orchestra is that small group of musicians who are selected from the symphony orchestra to play in the school assembly on Monday morn- ing. They rehearse weekly on Friday. seventh period. This particular group of people has worked hard during the school year, with the result that they are much in demand to play at dinners, dedications of new buildings, and various social gatherings. :Xt present, they are plan- ning to play at a Rotary Club luncheon. The reed quintet, or woodwind en- semble has, as its members, Margaret Trott, Robert Clark, Qliver Pels, Paul Davenport, and Richard Boerman. The individual players have practiced and co-operated with Mr. Barone all year, and as a result, their many public ap' pearances were graciously received. Shortly after the band concert the group disbanded, but will reassemble again next fall. The most publicized, talked-of col- lection of musicians in the school this TH E FOR VM year is the brass quartet. It seems that there is a group of musicians each year that holds up the high standard of music set a few years ago by our thrice state champion band. This year it is the brass quartet, composed of Franklin Dow, Xllalter Vllhybrew, Venice Smith, and Thomas Barone. They can he heard practicing at various times during the school day when planning to go on a trip. They put in many patient hours of prac- tice together before they entered com- petition at Fredonia. They succeeded in taking first honors there, and were eli- gible to compete in the state finals at Syracuse. Hours of practice followed. Un May 12, they went, saw, and con- queredf' The Glee Club rehearses on Thurs- day, seventh period. The group this year, is superior to Glee Clubs of recent years.

They, also, will continue to rehearse until the end of the school year. The Choral Club. of one hundred and fifty voices. started the year off by presenting the musical comedy VVhy Not, in the high school auditorium, October l9 and 20. In this musical com- edy, the dancing and singing members were recruited from the student body. They were highly complimented on their splendid work throughout the produc- tion. .X great deal of credit is also due to those of the alumnae who assisted the student cast. The production was re- hearsed daily for two weeks under the capable direction of Mr. Pearson. A three part cantata for chorus and Page Smimzfy soprano solos called Three Springs by Paul Bliss was presented February 2, under the baton of Mr. Doubleday. Adele Meyers. a choral club member, sang the soprano solos. The remainder of the year has been spent in studying Fairy Mooiiliglxtf' by Arditig The Heavens Are Telling, from the ora- torio The Creation, by Haydn: River, River, 'by Zoltai, and Moon- light and Mandolins, ' a short, three part cantata by Paul Bliss. Piano accompani- ment was rendered by Mabel Pomeroy. The loss of a large number of musi- cians, through graduation, will be keen- ly felt throughout the music clubs,,but they are looking forward to making next year the most successful in the history of the school, as far as music is concern- ed. - T IL.. 7 THE FORVM :J 2 I 5 E fb 1 '1 O .- F7 if as z D' 7 Es' 7 T' 7' -1 - 5- E. b -1 5 -. -. -I 71 -, E E Z a : 3 E 1: te J' n 5 .I .1 Z' o :..

You perhaps think that doesnlt seem quite logical. It does when there is a debate team for both sides of the ques- tion. This year from the Forensic Union three teams have been formed, two neg- ative and one affirmative, with Bill Fol- ger, Jay Noble and Genevieve Cothran as captains. These three have been largely responsible for the measure of success which the Club has met. Lockport is now for the second year, winner of the Niagara Frontier Debat- ing League and sectional winner of the Union College Debating League. In the picture, you aren't supposed to concen- trate on Sam Searing fthe funny look- ing fellow in the middlel but on the cup in front of him. VVe think that, as Pres- ident, Sam is justly proud of this fine trophy presented to us as winner of the Niagara Frontier League by the Fed- eral Mills of Lockport. We must win this cup twice again in order to become its permanent possessors. The smaller cup was awarded for winning this sec- tion of the Union College League. No doubt, the moving spirit through- out the season has been Miss Helen Geb- bie. VVithout doubt, is the fact that her main sources of inspiration have been Mr. Shattuck's knife and his equally sharp edged remarks, for at the most inopportune moments, Helen has found herself menaced by the blood thirsty coach waiting to attack her with an open blade. Whenever Coach Shattuck is not engaged in this pleasant pastime we find him at another hobby of his-that of giving last minute instructions. VVe, the members, hereby formally petition the Board of Education that they should set aside a large sum of money for the purpose of financing the painting of a portrait of Mr. Shattuck in characteristic pose. VVe further sug- gest that in this portrayal of a charac- THE FORVJI teristic pose, the clock be set at seven forty-five with the most important de- bate of the season starting at eight. Mr. Shattuck will be holding out after the last minute instructions and saying, I want this put in a main speech ! Probably the affirmative team has been successful because of its manner of attack on the subject. Each negative team against whom we debated, expect- ed us to emphasize certain points. When we neglected these points, in favor of others, our opponents found themselves a bit unprepared. Following this line of thought, those who attended the debates will probably remember many wasted words about fifteen dollar tax and advertising, On the other hand, the negative won its debates because under the leadership of Bill Folger, who has a fine mind for detail, they were so thor- oughly prepared on the subject that their opponents could bring up no points which the negative was unable to refute. The system of the negative was truly debating, but the affirmative had a great deal more fun. Other elements entered into the win- ning of the debates. You may have noticed large, legal-looking, lawyer-like volumes on Lockport's speaking table. On one occasion two nice red leather bound books contained half a year's copies of Harfv0r'.v Magazine, l907. On another occasion we made use of a large book containing information concerning where the Indians came from. We can't remember the word for it, but it guar- antees to have been of the sixteen cylin- der valve-in-head type. Two or three times one person has felt very important carrying Mr. Shattuck's black leather brief case down the aisle. Again the girls' team one night had a rabbit's foot which they passed among themselves. They attribute their victory to the fact that when each one spoke she had the rabbit's foot in her hand. But the night Bob Fraser brought a picture of a beau- tiful blonde and we set it up in the mid- dle of the table we almost lost! Page S cventy-Five SENIOR PLAY CAST ID, MvAlliste1', V. Smith, W. Folger, H. Gebhie, S.lSeari1ng, C. Dickinson, M. Conway, J. Noble, fre 'N F1 E. XVhitvn1 THE SENIOR PLAY lf you were to ask one of our high school seniors what he considered the most important of the year's events, he would undoubtedly answer, VVhy, the Senior Play, of course. This year the play committee chose Broken Dishes, a comedy which was highly successful on Broadway, written by Martin Flavin, who gained eminence through his Criminal Code. The action of Broken Dishes takes place on a winter evening in a small mid-western town at the Bumpstead home. As the curtain rises, the Bump- stead women are at dinner, and jenny, the mother, played by Eugenia Vllhit- more, is reminiscing about her girlhood sweetheart Chester Armstrong, taken by Donald McAllister. Margaret Conway as Myra, and Mary Farley as Mabel, the two oldest daughters, are their mothers favorites, while Elaine, the youngest, played by Helen Gebbie, champions her father against the others' Page Sezwzfy-S1'.1' l . ar ey. criticisms. As soon as Cyrus, the husband and father, played by VVilliam Folger, arrives, jenny, Myra, and Mabel leave for the movies. Soon, by earnest per- suasion Elaine gets Cyrus out of the house and Bill Clark, her sweetheart, played by Samuel Searing enters. They decide to get married before Jenny comes home. Several hours later, jenny and the girls return to find Cyrus and Sam Green, played by jay Noble, slightly tipsy, Bill and Elaine married by Carl Dickinson, as the Reverend Doctor Stump, a tall, handsome stranger-Hnone other than Chester Armstrong! How- ever, the greatest shock to jenny is the consequent disclosure by Venice Smith, as Quinn the detective, that Chester is an all-around criminal. They then dis- cover that he has fled through the par- lor window. jenny is completely humbled and Cyrus takes his rightful position, head of the house, as the curtain falls. TUE FOR! 'M DRAMATIC CLUB PLAY CAST C. Cox-sun, I. Singleton, Mr, Shattuck, H. Gebbie, A. Simmons, D. McAllister, R. XVatkins, P. Davenport, B. Nieman, V. Smith, F. Goodlauder. THE ANNUAL DRAMATIC CLUB PLAY XYhen you've set a fine precedent, be sure and live up to it. This could very easily be the motto of the Lockport High School Dramatic Club, for its annual plays have been con- sistently well done. Three years ago the organization pre- sented Owen Davis' lcebound, a Pulitzer prize drama. The following year a thrilling mystery, The Thirteen- th Chair was the club's choice and last year, the hilarious comedy Tons of Money. And so, since nothing but the best was quite good enough, this year's produc- tion, although a totally different type of play- That Ferguson Familyuf was equally as worthwhile as its predeces- sors. Helen Gebbie. who had the part of Mertie Ferguson, the mother, loved her children deeply and wanted them to be THE FORI Ill happy, but unfortunately, her ideas of happiness and theirs did not coincide. Ceaseless bickerings and disagreements occurred between Mertie and her lik- able, easy-going husband Fred, played by Venice Smith. The part of Laura, the oldest daughter, was taken by Betty Nieman, who had eloped with Robert XVatkins, as Bert Connelly, before the play began. Irma Singleton as Tavie, the youngest daughter, and Farrington Goodlander as joe, the youngest sou, finally followed their sister's example by marrying and leaving home. Arlene Simmons was joe's appealing sweet- heart, Mary Flemming, and Donald Mc- Allister had the part of Rupert Striker, Tavie's boisterous hero, who proved the most dependable of all when Tavie was in trouble. Paul Davenport was Mary Flemming's father Xvill, very much up- set by his daughter's marriage until he learned that his new son-in-law had won a thousand dollars. Catharine Corson, as Mrs. Sarah Thorne, was atypical gossip- ing scandal-monger. Page Sc'zfc11fy-Srzmlz SENIOR CLASS OF 1934 So far this year there have been five regular senior meetings and one special meeting. We realized at once that We were no ordinary senior class, so we had to do something to show our originality. Precedents meant nothing to us. We must do everything in a revolutionary and better manner than former classes. VVe started by keeping our old of- ficers throughout the entire year, thus violating the custom that a girl should be president for half of the senior year. Still we weren't satisfied, we would change the Class Day program. We didn't like the old program, so we would get a new one. Kill-joys informed us that changes in the program would never be approved, but we were undaunted. After many suggestions were reject- ed, we finally adopted a plan of com- bining the history, prophecy, and will in one part of the program. This will be made to present the entire life of the class, from its birth in a hospital to the reading of its will over a coffin. This will include all the graduates, so the need for the presentation will be elimi- nated. It was argued that this presen- tation was a childish, expensive custom without any significance, and there were always some who felt hurt when they had to be left out. Many had complained about the daisy chain, so the suggestion was adopted that canes be used to form an arch with the class colors hanging from the top. The arch will be used for the graduates to pass under and will supply beauty for the program. Of course, there are still many skepti- cal people who think the untried is im- possible. After the fine showing made by the members of the class in the Senior Play, Broken Dishes, how can anyone doubt our ability to put across this new Class Day program? With such talent, our Class Day is bound to be a success. JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class of 1934, realizing only too keenly how soon the year will terminate, has swung rapidly into action as an organized unit in order to show the Seniors how well we shall deserve that lofty appellation, almost ready to be handed down. In all considerations the class feels very successful. To prove our inherent quality for suc- cess in the coming year of supremacy as Seniors, the first meeting of the Junior Class was held in the usual approved manner by election of officers, which resulted as follows: President-Robert VV atkins Vice-president-Martin Teal Secretary-Isobel Dickie Treasurer-Sally Lou Palmer Members of Athletic Council-David Schwartz, Louis LaFountain. VVith our capable president in com- mand, we began our activities enthusias- tically. The first step then was the ap- pointment of committees. The ring com- mittee, consisting of Ruth Hoffmaster, David Ransom, John Bryant and Mary Page Sctwzty-Eiglzt E. Poole, displayed various well-chosen groups of pins and rings, and after due deliberation, the final vote of the class was taken. The selected ring, a gold L on a lovely mother-of-pearl background, was loudly acclaimed as one of the nicest rings ever chosen. This may well be con- sidered a reflection on the good judg- ment of the class, exerted through the medium of our able committee. The other committees appointed were: Class Colors Mary Tolhurst, Dorothie Stockwell, Wlilliam Moran. Class Zllotfo Mona Vilagner, Clarence Oliphant, Robert Fraser. Class Flower Hilda Lovell, Jean Boggs, Eugene Patterson. VVith the end of the year drawing ominously near, the Junior Class extends to the Seniors the heartiest congratula- tions and best Wishes for the future, with the hope that we shall be as suc- cessful next year. -Isobel K. Dickie, THE F OR VM FORUM STAFF Upon looking back and probing into the circumstances which influenced the Forum's existence, one comes into many interesting details worth passing on to you. Some twenty-eight years ago or about 1906, Professor Morelock was principal of this high school. He was a prince of a fellow with a deep understanding of his teen age boys and girls, and because of this it hurt him greatly to witness the strife between the non-members and members of a ruling fraternity at that time. It is perhaps for the best interests of all, that the high school no longer harbors fraternities within its walls. Periodically this fraternity published a magazine named The Crescent and, as only members were allowed to con- tribute toward the contents of the maga- zine, the non-members were left out of the only publication representing the school. After a time, the feeling became too bitter and Professor Morelock called a Junior, Ford Gooding, into his office one day. As Mr. Gooding was in a posi- tion to know the cost of printing, et cetera, Professor Morelock planned with him a magazine for all the students of the high school. The idea was a welcome one and all entered wholeheartedly into its success. As most of the enthusiasm was found in the Athletic Club and a greater part of the students then belong- ed to it, the Athletic Club was assigned to select the name. After much debate the name Forum was picked. Then it was decided that a cover de- sign was necessary. At that time there lived a Mr. Hellner on Locust Street, a noted artist of this vicinity, who was ask- ed to design a cover which would be both distinctive and original. He agreed to produce the design and turned out a Greek pillar with the Forum name on the base of it. VVhen the Forum business manager went to his home to take over the design, he was promptly told that fifty dollars was the cost. After he ex- plained that the magazine had not been printed yet, and no profits had been THE FORVM realized, Mr. Hellner generously donat- ed the design as his bit toward the suc- cess of the Forum. This was not the only interest shown in the Forum, for the business men and merchants entered wholeheartedly into the advertising. The pages then were divided into one-eighth page ads for one dollar, one-fourth page for one dollar and fifty cents, 33.00 for the half, and 555.00 for the whole page. Since then the price has been exactly doubled due to the increased expense of the magazine. The book was eight and one-half by eleven inches, slightly larger than now, and contained thirty-six pages. The first issue was printed by the Corson Printing Company at the cost of Two Hundred Dollars for one thousand copies. A thousand copies were many more than were needed for the demand at that time, but they were sold for three days at ten cents each and after that they were given away free to whoever wished a copy. You may be inclined to think that giving away the magazines was poor business, but a profit was al- most invariably made due to the splendid cooperation of the advertisers. Four is- sues were put out the first year of the Forum, and in the spring Three Hun- dred Dollars of the profits was taken to engage a baseball instructor from Buf- falo for a month. Thus the Forum had its beginning. Today it is still a credit to its originators. who first published it with the thought in mind that you might contribute to and have a voice in a publication repre- senting your school. The Forum's popu- larity has rapidly increased throughout the years. A vast amount of thought and inter- est was placed in each issue of your Forum, so that those things which you most enjoy might be included. Believ- ing that play as well as work is neces- sary, we held a party in January in the John Pound Schoolg and on June 13, the day when you receive this magazine, we are having our annual picnic at Olcott. Here's to the future of the Forum! May it ever soar to new heights in the years to come! Page Seventy-Nine CAMERA CLUB Another chapter in the history of the Camera Club of Lockport High School is about to close, but before we say goodbye we think that it is only fitting and proper that we summarize our activ- ities under the following officers: President-Betty Nieman Vice-president-Harry Strickland Secretary-Minnie Police T reasurer-Marie Mulligan. together with the able guidance of our two faculty advisers Mr. Zimmer- man and Miss Madsen. We also take this opportunity to thank them for the assistance they have given us through- out this year. This year a great deal of printing and developing was accomplished by the members. The girls were at liberty to use the dark room on Mondays and VVednesdays, and the boys on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Fridays were open to everyone. At our meetings, which were held on the first and third l1Vednesday of each month, we have tried our very best to have features for the entertainment of the entire group and to make them as varied as possible. The first meeting we held dealt mainly with the election of officers. At the following meeting Mr. Zimmerman described in detail the pro- cess of developing the film and printing the picture. He explained the necessity of the dark room and of certain uten- sils. He also told us how to take suc- cessful Freak pictures, such as a pic- ture of someone inside a milk bottle. Once explained this is quite simple: first a close up of the milk bottle is takeng the person who is going to appear in- side then stands in the place where the milk bottle formerly was and a distant picture is taken of him without turning the film. At the next meeting, which was held in Mr. Meyers' room, we had a very in- teresting talk by a very interesting speaker, Miss Madsen. The subject of Miss Madsen's talk was also one deal- ing with photography. Another meeting was held i11 the au- ditorium. The program was a one act Page Eighty play entitled Stage Struck and was presented by a group of girls from the Dramatic Club, under the able direction of Betty Nieman. The cast included: Mary Strassel, Florence Sandusky, Florence Knatler, Dolores Sterns, Mary -lane Taylor, Phyllis Laux, Sarah Pusa- teri, Sarah Alice W'alder and Marie Mulligan. Oh! Ch! I almost forgot to mention the most interesting subject, DUESl The dues are only twenty-five cents per year. This covers the use of the print- ing room, the electricity and the uten- sils used in the processes throughout the year. Then to help cover the cost of supplies, a small amount was paid in proportion to the number of pictures that were developed and printed. This year we, the Camera Club, have been very prosperous for we had thirty- five very interested members and hope that you, the Camera Club of next year, will double that number. In the near future we are looking for- ward to having a picnic or party depend- ing mainly on the decision of the mem- bers but what ever their choice maybe, we are all sure that it will be quite suc- cessful and a grand time will be had by all. We had hoped that in closing, we would be able to let each officer repre- sent the members by telling you his opinion of the Camera Club and by tell- ing you of its benefits to its members. We are unable to do this because of shortage of space but why don't you join the Club next year and give it a trial? You know Seeing is Believing and I'm sure you won't be sorry. We know for a fact, that many of our members have saved from three to four dollars on printing and developing charges this school year alone. Not only do you save this money but you are also gaining knowledge as well as having a great deal of pleasure. We sincerely hope that next year your name will be registered with the Camera Club of Lockport High School. The Camera Club of 1934 Marie Mulligan, Treasurer.

THE FORVML BOYS' INTERCLASS BASKETBALL This winter four well organized lea- gues consisting of 180 boys participated in basketball at the High School gym- nasium. The players in these leagues were from the gym classes. No home was formed, as the gym room league was occupied by the other players. The leagues were: A League, B League, C League, and were divided D League. The players in accordance with their weight and ability. The A League contained six teams. They were: Harvard, Army, Panthers, Comets, Duke, and Purdue. Harvard gained the championship of this league by winning all six games it played. This team included: Harris captain, Luck- man, Berent, Mace, Hayes, Brillo, Sing- er, and Eifert. QSee picture 11, page 83.5 The B League contained: Cornell, Giants, Trojans, Notre Dame, Athletics, and Colgate. Cornell took the cham- pionship of this league by winning six of the seven games it played. This team included: Rowley captain, Murphy, Porretta, Bangs, McErnoe, Renna, Groia, N eelon and Pollock. fSee picture 2, page 83.5 The C League contained: Wolverines, Yale, Bisons, Cardinals, Bears and Dod- gers. The Wolverines became the cham- pions of this league by winning all five games played. This team included: Barone captain, Oates, Calos, Kirsch. Hare, Amoroso, and Wilkins. QSee pic- ture 13, page 83.j The D League contained: Navy, Princeton, Yankees, Stanford, and Co- lumbia. The championship of this league was won by Navy with four out of five victories. This team included: Dicken- son captain, Assimotos, Myers, Ray, McEachon, Blake, Lute, Lennon, Bow- ers and Rapp. QSee picture 12, page 83.5 Page Eighty-Om' KEY TO PICTURES ON OPPOSITE PAGE 1. Library Assistants-Virginia Beach, Ruth Bennett, Katherine Doyle, Mary Farley, Sarah Pusateri, Loraine Stead- man, Mildred Villella, Eugenia Whit- more, and Miss Haynes. These girls are included in the athletic ensemble because they do such valuable work as to deserve to have their picture published. In any case they have to speed around the school frequently, delivering informa- tion, and thus they would make a fine nucleus for a feminine track team if the school should organize one! 2.

INDIVIDUAL HONORS In the recent physical ability contests conducted in the gym classes by Mr. McCabe many obtained very fine scores. The contests consisted of first, standing broad jump, second, chinningg third 100 yard dash. James Dugan, a junior, received the highest number of points, scoring 294 out of a possible 300. Other boys with very high scores are as follows: Jay Page Eighty- Two Silsby 288, Paul Keleher 286, Eugene Eglin 280, Victor Truax 278, Charles Shearston 276, Kinsley Murphy 276, Norman Wills 274, Thomas Barone 272, Leslie Nelson 271, Carl Brillo 270. A basket-shooting contest was also held in which many high scores were made. Brown was highest with 60 points out of a possible 90. He was followed closely by Porretta with 58 points, Duwe with 57, Oates with 55, and Gog- gin with 55 points. This proves that we have good material for next year. VOLLEYBALL From the various gym classes a vol- leyball tournament was organized. The winners of the league were the Austins, composed of C. Brillo, A. Gioia, Cioia, G. Heary, L. Hemmer, W. Nailor, M. Thurston, and C. Eifert. To earn the championship the team had to win every series, and in every series the best two out of three games. QSee picture 51 The team which won the volleyball consolation tournament was the Alaba- mas, composed of C. Enzinna, I. Cascia, J. Buchannan, V. VVard, S. Salmeri, F. Laux, and J. Marotchi. The teams which made up this league were those which lost their first game. Thereafter the winning team had to take every series, and in every series two out of three games as in the other league. fSee pic- ture 9j OTHER SPRING SPORTS Tennis as usual, when the weather permitted, has had a goodly number of devotees this spring. Both boys and girls have been active on the courts, and Miss VVilcox has engaged in the customary coaching and encouragement of new' re- cruits. I Spring football practice was held for two weeks. In View of the large number of veterans and experienced subs re- turning next year it was found profit- able to get an early start for the coming campaign. It is hoped that it will be pos- sible to have, during the vacation, the football camp that was so helpful two years ago.

The 1933 football season, though not a great success in games won, was high- ly constructive in building up material for future years. Not many of last year's veterans returned to play again, and so the team was made up in large part of new material. Of the players who did return, some were available for only part of the season. As the season progressed, the new men rapidly developed. By gradual shifting the quarterback problem was well solved. The line, though composed of new men in the main, gave excellent service right from the start. Light as it was, hardly any offense gained ground through our fast-charging forwards. The home games were all held on the enclosed field at the Niagara County Fair Grounds and were well attended even in bad weather. Although the last two or three games were played with the thermometer down to zero and snow flying, the team kept up its courageous work to the very last. With plenty of veteran and good reserve material to choose from next season, we should have a very strong eleven.

Lockport ended the regular season in a three-way tie for second place with Lackawanna and Kenmore. Niagara Falls won first place in the league, and Kenmore second as the result of these play-offs. Almost all of Lockport's defeats were by close margins, the lack of good re- serve material being partly responsible. Schedule L.H.S.

The 1934 track season got off to a flying start this year with a turn out of 59 men. VVith the exception of Hulton and Bratt, letter men, and King, the squad was composed of entirely new ma- terial. However, through hard work on the part of the boys and under the ex- cellent coaching of Doc Gay, the team has made a very good showing so far. Some of the leading participants in the various divisions are as follows: in the mile, Hulton, King and Ernest, in the broad jump, Brattg in the high jump Bratt and Henningg in the hurdles, Brattg in the pole vault, Schwartz. It is interesting to note that with the exception of three or four men the entiie team is composed of freshmen and sophomores. As all these men will be back two or three years more, it is ex- pected that in the future our track team will possess considerable strength. On May 5 the team journeyed to East Aurora to enter a dual track meet. The score was East Aurora 59. Lockport 31. Following are some of the points earn- ed by the Gold and Blue: Hurdles-Bratt second. High jump-Bratt first, 5 ft. 6 in. Broad jump-Bratt first, 20 ft. Mile-King first, Hulton second. Two weeks later on May 19 the track team entered a triangular meet at Bata- via with strong teams from Batavia and Kenmore. Our runners led the field in the mile, and without exerting themsel- ves King, Hulton, and Ernest loped in forty, ten, and four yards respectively ahead of the rest of the field. Those who placed in addition are as follows: Hurdles-Bratt third. High jump-Bratt first, 5 ft., 9M in. THE FORVM Broad jump-Bratt first, 18 ft. SM in. Pole vault-Schwartz third. Relay-Lockport third. Although our team came in third in this meet, this did not mean so much as there was only one point between second and third places. Again on Saturday May 26 the team went to Kenmore to engage in another three-way meet with Kenmore and Bata- via. Although we lost the meet, the score being Kenmore 63 M, Batavia 31, Lock- port 25, our team showed up well. Our mile combination again came through and took the first three places. The following Gold and Blue men placed in their events: Mile-King first. Hulton second. Ernest third. Pole vault-Schwartz first, 10 ft. 440-H. Mancini second. High jump-Bratt, tied for second. Broad jump-Bratt second, 20 ft. 192. On June 2 the great sectional meet was held at Kenmore. From ten to four- teen Vifestern New York teams compet- ed, among them Lockport. The finals will probably be held at Dunkirk some time later and the sectional winners be decided at that time. The results of these meets are not known as we go to press. .BASEBALL Softball, our leading spring sport, was played this year by the majority of the boys in high school. Approximately 250 played in the two leagues formed by Coach McCabe. William Moran, Peter Corrallo, and David Ransom had charge of the teams and games. The Home Room League consisted of Miss Ransom's, Miss Snyder's, Miss Pierce's, Miss Whitwell's, Miss Bige- low's, Mr. Meyer's and Miss Whead- rickls home room. Fifteen players from each room had to sign up to organize a team in order to lessen the possibility of forfeiting a game because of a lack of players. In some cases nearly all the students in the home room signed up. Page Eighty-Nine At press time Miss Ransom's room and Miss Snyder's room were leading, and after a hard-fought game the former won the championship. Last year the title was won by Mr. Meyer's home room, which received the Lloyd Coch- ran trophy for the year. This trophy was generously offered by Mr. Coch- ran two years ago and has helped con- siderably in stimulating interest in the softball games. The seven teams which make up the Inter-gym Class League are Alabama, W'hite Sox, Cardinals, Austins, Giants, Orioles, and Bisons. Although Alabama finished in first place four other teams -'White Sox, Cardinals, Austins, and Giants-also had a chance to win the title. The players in these teams are from the gym classes and do not participate in the home room games. All the contests have been played at Dudley Square and have been umpired by students. Juniors and Seniors um- pired Freshmen and Sophomore games, and Freshmen and Sophomores officiat- ed at Junior and Senior games. This ar- rangement has proved very satisfactory. GIRLS' SPORTS 'Tis June the month of Roses-and the end of athletic activities in the high school until fall comes back with its football etc. Since the last issue of the Forum, a volleyball league has been in play with approximately 165 girls participating. Teams were made up representing the various gym classes, some classes hav- ing but one team while others had two. Some excellent players were developed and keen rivalry and fun have been evi- dent. The outcome of these games is un- certain, but from all indications the Senior teams are superior. The basketball season ended in March with Team IV the winner of the Heavyweight Group and Team XII the champions in the Lightweight division. Team IV was made up of the following players: Pauline Sidonio, Winifred Wy- Page Ninety man, Rose Marie Ben, Lucille Mohlar, Virginia McCoy, Winifred Benson, Margaret Bewley, Frances Provenzano and Genevieve Cothran. Csee picture 3 page 83.5 Team XII had as its players: Esther McKeever, Dorothy Gregory, Paula Wiese, Dorothy VanTassel, Catherine DeLapa, Doris White, Dorothy Red- mond, Eunice Liscoff, Irene Stephen- son and Margaret Sheehan. fSee pic- ture 4, page 83.5 As a climax to the season two honor teams were chosen. This was in recog- nition of the best playing throughout the year, and girls were chosen from among the 18 teams playing.

This is a game that many should play, as it can be enjoyed for many years to come. About twenty high school girls have offered their services as baseball um- pires to go out to the various grade schools to of ficiate at games between the sixth, seventh, and eighth grades. THE FORVM HOME ROOM THE GARDEN OF SENIOR GIRLS IrVhen I arrived, the flowers in the garden were expectantly waiting for the bluebells to ring out the signal at which they might burst forth into a merry whirl of gossip. A few irrepressible tulips fFlorence Sandusky, Ruth Ben- nett, Agnes Strong, and Alice Wilsonj had already given up waiting for the bell and were busily conversing with their neighbors. As I stood at the rear gate of the garden, I heard a dauntless Marigold murmur to another, When is Miss Becker coming back P The wist- ful voice could be heard clearly in the silence of the garden and from all the flowers came back the refrain- We miss her. However, I noted that all the flowers seemed quiet and peaceful, and so I gathered that Mr. Burns, the new gardener, was doing his best to keep the garden orderly until Miss Becker's return. Here and there among the larger and more imposing flowers, I found some tiny violets fElizabeth Armer, Mary Scott, Mildred Villella, Mary Morrillj, whose smallness in no way detracted from their charm. They were, however, quite diminutive when placed beside the sunflowers QMarion Linney, Mary Jane Earon, Eugenia Whitiiiore, Adele Mey- ersj. I noticed, too, that some of the brilliant roses CMargaret Campbell, Mary Pound, Catharine Corson, Helen Gebbie, Margaret Williamsj were rapid- ly climbing to the very top of the bush of learning. just within the gate I dis- covered, in my wanderings, some breath- less asters fSophie Ninos, Katharine Ninos, Mary Ninos, Lillian Wasvaryj. I stood in admiration before the flower chosen as the Queen of Beauty CBetty THE FORVM Leonardj, and I noticed then, that this garden contained many lovely narcissus Uanet Otto, Betty Olson, Irma Single- tonj. Truly it was a fascinating garden, full of friendly, cheerful blossoms! Next year new blossoms will take their places, but never again will the garden present such a profusion of color, beauty and harmony as I have seen this afternoon. -Anita Stewart. MISS PIERCE'S HOME ROOM Several members of our class have stood out in front since the last report period. Our intellectual giant, R. Hilder- man, is valedictorian of the Senior Class. Then, two members of the brass quartet, V. Smith and W. Whylmrew, journeyed to Fredonia on May 3. They returned triumphant and won first place. On May 12, they went to Syracuse and won first place again. E. Eglin, our commercial wiz, tried to compete for honors in Bookkeeping II at Syracuse, but he lost to worthier opponents. In our home room, there are four out- standing trackmen: H. Bratt, Ed. Hul- ton, R. McCarthy, and H. O'Grady with 25, 7, 3 and 1 points respectively named. and E. Eglin as manager. fix ' ,W Wifi yiffpx fe' f N 's fx -r , N ff ' ll d11.wiT'bxS.oN-iyfk 5 E fi 1 Page Ninety-One Our softball team is of some promi- nence. Although we lost two games to the Snyder and Ransom teams, we man- aged to beat the Meyers team. This left us with a percentage of 333. Our team is composed of F. McLean, captain and T. Banta, manager. The other play- ers are: R. Newell, N. Higgs, G. Barry, F. Pusateri, F. Springfield, R. Bradley, R. VValk, R. McCarthy, E. Hufnagle, and H. O'Grady. J. Zuidema is still trying to hand in those nice, clean trig. papers. F. Marsh was seen on May 19, cut- ting Pence's hedge. True devotion, thru briars and brambles for her. The members of the home room and of Miss Pierce's mathematical classes have another accomplishment, that is the slide rule. And thus far have re- ceived practical instructions on the slide rule. The boys have insisted so much on this instruction that Miss Pierce did not have time to brush up on the methods. As a result, they held informal dis- cussions which proved quite popular. However, one night after school Mr. Rosenberg of the Harrison Corporation came over and gave a good instruction on the use of the slide rule. He show- ed the use of the cylindrical slide rule, the circular rule, as well as the larger rules. But the ironic part of it all was that Mr. Rosenberg had to work over- time the next day to make up for the time that he gave to some of the boys. CA real martyr to mathematicsj. Many of the boys have purchased slide rules ranging from six inches to ten inches in length. However, Mr. Rosenberg has condescended to give advice in the use of the slide rule any Saturday morn- ing. The use of the slide rule is very practical, for it can be used in computa- tions of difficult nature where work does not have to be shown, and it can also be used in checking your work in regent examinations but not for any computations that have to be shown on the paper.

Hufnagle MISS RANSOM'S SIGHTSEERS We set out 52 strong September 8, some seeing the wonders of the fourth year for the first time, and some post graduates, well seasoned to such travel. Smoothly we passed through our first week, the busiest of all-marked by printed and reprinted registration cards and those program cards that we had to change so often. We lost our first member on September ll. Our speed proved too much for Barnard, and he fell overboard, going to the farm amongst the trees and the cows. Sep- tember 26 was marked by shore leave for everyone and nearly all attended the County Fair. The admission being free to members, friends and teachers saw many of the members taking the dear old girl friend. You know how it goes. Then came the first check-up by higher authority, and we were presented with our report cards-so clean, and white and shining, so bright. The marks? Well, in general, they were fair, only four of us making the honor roll. About this time we were journeying along the other side of the street, and B-JUDD WAS RECENTLY 'PRE-SENTED WITH A LOVING cuP FOR BEING THE IWOST FAMOU5 Woman: HATER. 65 M .. fi .J , WM. f' E 1- an gl A I 'LTA THE F OR VM here our jolly curly-headed Jimmy Knatler became entangled with that great Harrison radiator plant and was taken from us, making the second cas- ualty. Then came Thanksgiving leave. We came back full of turkey and pumpkin pie-glad to be back upon our journey. A pleasant feature and an unusual occurrence have been two pairs of twins who have accompanied us upon our cruise. The Boyer twins from the small lakeside resort, Olcott Beach, never in- terfere much with loud talking, for it is a fact that we have to ask them to repeat everything they say. And the Laubacker twins? They're fresh from the dewy countryside, and as we traveled our course, they pointed out to us the mysteries of science as well as the dif- ferent varieties of farm products as raised in beautiful Niagara County. About ten weeks after we started upon our course we lost another of our good members, Robert Goodling, who was transferred to the good ship Science Department. You see he is following in the footsteps of Newton, Edison, and Buckminster. Could any- one ask for more brilliant associates? And after the longest of shore leaves we came back to enter upon the last half of our journey. This cold and snowy session ushered in with us the new recruits from the environs of Mid- dleport and Gasport, Glen Mudge and James Chapman. They joined us to shine up their bumps of knowledge preparatory to entering the University of Buffalo next September. As our cruise journeyed past the A 8: P we lost the great and noble Roger Newton who could not miss the attrac- tions, And the very same day we lost Herbert Wagner, another of our P. G.'s who tired of making pictures of those upon our journey, especially Slaght, and decided to leave our party. He jumped across the street, landing in the drafting room of the Harrison Radiator THE FORVM Corporation, where he is yet. And as for our Roger MacDonald, CThat's Scotchj he's our sleuth who steals in and out of the room like a mouse. And he works, too. Oh, yes! The Loblaw Company decided it needed someone to fill the customers' baskets with purchases, and as a result he fills his own with the half days' wages he earns when he works. And on our cruise is a business gen- ius, McDermott. Jack can give ad- vice to hat purchasers as glibly as he talks nonsense in school. Now I'll just bet no other room has such a sweet little senior as our Jimmy Vining. He's so sweet he boils down the sap and makes maple syrup for the faculty and his friends. Isn't that sweet of him, though? After Oscar McNall made up his mind Cnot voluntarilyj that he must attend school every day instead of every other day, he has been a very nice boy. .And the very same is true of Lawrence Colletti. You haven't seen our radio announ- cers, have you? They're Norman Brady and Edwin Maulg and I may say there's been keen competition between them, but now Brady seems to be holding the upper edge by a narow margin. He does this by his talks on all branches of athletics, a rare treat, while Maul's is all nonsense. just before we received our fifth period reports, our radio gave out, and .S-,lqk vu-J in jf x .1 ' ,-1.51 ' Qfpflf s, 's U - fd' -5 -1.7 l ----fa , .

The pole snapped, and Hesch dropped to the ground barely missing an iron stake, breaking one leg and injuring the other. The home roomers gathered for him a beautiful basket of fruits and other dainties and sent it to him as a remembrance. And still the wonder grew that one blonde head could carry all he knew. This refers to our great Dickinson with a yearly average of 92.111, Surely this is living up to our standard of high qual- ity. If not, why not? It was with the utmost difficulty that we enrolled many of our members on this cruise back in '33 because no ladies were admitted to our cruising party, and they stand highly in feminine favor. These Romeos are Lawrence Ferguson, Forrest jones, Floyd Hess, Thomas Winters, and William Orr, the latter always giving the excuse of being in lab, but we doubt his word. They spend so much time in the halls making dates with peaches that they come in just in time to avoid a date with Miss Ransom for tardiness. At the beginning of the year it was found necessary that Captain Ransom have a secretary, and Slaght was found to fill that place. All year he has kept track of attendance and all such matters required of him by the captain. VVhen it came spring and the trees were blooming on the highways and by- ways, it made us think it was time to elect an Apple Blossom Queen. Did we hesi- tate? Not at all. As it were, we had such a large proportion of non-residents in our cruising party that we cast a large vote for Betty, the Olcott blonde. fBy the way, they say it was our votes that won for her. Now I just wonder?j And now our cruise draws toward the closeg we are heading toward the rough waters and rapids of final regents exams. We are pulling on the oars as hard as we can, but we know the results will vary. Some who have had too good a Page Nl-Il6f37-F0It7' time on our year's cruise will be caught in the rough waters and stranded on the rocks where they will remain in waiting for next year's cruise. Some will pass the rocks and whirlpools and sail through victoriously into the calm, still waters of Commencement carrying with them the dear, dear memory of a pleasant year spent viewing the wonders of fourth year high. But the saddest of all takes place the last day of school. Students, it is no more than right that you join in on our cruising party and bid our dear captain, Miss Ransom, goodbye. Yes, goodbye, for this is her last year of teaching. VVe of her home room feel proud to think that we were the last to be under Miss Ransom's supervision, and we hope that everyone remembers her as well as we promise we will, for certainly one cannot find a better home room adviser and teacher Cat least in our opinionj. And now, as we look back, we call to mind the joys and pleasures left be- hind. VVe'll surely travel different ways, but we'll remember those happy days on our sightseeing tour of fourth year high. -Keith Slaght MISS METZLER'S HOME ROOM VVe were surprised and very de- lighted to find that we have a new mem- ber in our room in the person of that famous Swedish star, Greta Garbo.

VVe wonder if our famous Sally Lue Palmer does everything left-handed. How about it, Sally? Barbara Davis and Marie Bolton, walking home the other Tuesday after- noon, were treated to ice cream cones by a certain gentleman. Which one was he after? Betty Poole went to the P. B.

Guess what time the neighbors got to sleep! About three o'clock, we'd say. Next year let's hope that Margaret gets to bed at nine o'clock like a good little senior. But her friends say there's no hope. -Margot La Fetra MOORE SCANDAL As it is so near commencement, I will commence to tell all the home room scandal. I think I can escape the results because when the persons involved read this it will be the end of the year. Dorothy Redmond seems to be try- ing out for the girl's track team. She is so interested in getting full training that she sometimes takes a sprint to school. She even starts a little late oc- casionally so that she may become ac- customed to running faster. However, she is seldom tardy but has to take time out for recuperating when she arrives all rosy and breathless. THE FOR VM It seems that Virginia Pugh was very anxious to give away her shoes on Fri- day the eleventh in sixth period study. I think if you asked her she would finally admit that she was suffering from blisters. 'Tis a heartless world. So thought Helen Pratt when an athletic faculty member across the hall interrupted a confidential interview in the corridor and deposited her in the home room. There were titters and giggles, but Helen wasn't tardy in any case, although it was a close call. In fact, she seemed to enjoy being arrested. All of the girls envy Audrey Van Norwick because of her tall, handsome boy friend, who carries her books to and from school. The heavier the load is, the more he seems to enjoy it. We are taught to keep the wolf from the door, but apparently Gerry Wilson doesn't believe in it. I'm afraid it would be very hard to keep the Wolfe from her door. Well, we were certainly glad to wel- come back Eileen Gaygen when she ar- rived at school a few weeks ago. Al- though she is in school only half a day, we are glad enough for that much. Our home room chose Audrey Van Norwick as its candidate for the Apple Blossom Festival. Close behind were f'fXf X X-fx' I r4fi?+'GfQ,'f3fit1 k li?eLvjx.o-D CJ gf Xxxgcnf XMQQEJ3 h k ai' df f l i.

And we even have a pair of Siamese twins! lt is a fact that Laura Head and Grace Gugliuzza have been playing follow the leader for some time, whether they know it or not. First one copies the other and then vice versa. It starts in the morning every day when Laura begins to make up. Grace immediately follows suit. Laura also has been copy- ing Grace, who is one of our never fail- ing high honor students, by raising her marks to honors. It even seems that they are alike in another respect. Re- cently they have both become interested in the Art Club. These two girls have maintained quite a record. -Ruth Cothran MR. MEYERS' HOME ROOM In the spring young men's fancies often turn to love. That seems to hap- pen to Phil Alix when he is sitting in a swing with his girl. Jack Swift didn't get a chance to vote more than once the other day. I guess that is why Audrey wasn't chosen Ap- ple Blossom Queen. Toni Farley had three pictures of himself. Now he has only two. I wonder what girl wears it close to her heart? Bill Thiele recently gave a speech in the English class about his latest trip to California. He neglected to tell of his visit to see Mae VVest. Possibly he didn't accept her invitation. Henry Intrator has been pursued by blondes. Redheads have made eyes at him. The days seem dreary to him nevertheless. When he receives his daily note from a little brunette, every- thing is Rosie, As the year draws to a close, we dread the thought of leaving Mr. Meyers. Possibly some of us may come back to him, that is, if we fail enough sub- jects. -Goldby Allison Page N inety-S ix MISS WHEADRICK'S HOME ROOM Spring has finally come along with its beautiful, warm weather. With it has come the greatest of all sports, base- ball. The boys have organized their interclass ball team and Captain Mar- tin Teal and Manager John Leichtman expect a fairly good ball team. The members of the team are pledged to fight hard to keep up the wonderful record that Miss Wheadrick's previous home rooms have established. A speech given lately by the athletic director, Joseph La Rocco, shows that a new entry on our basketball team had been made when he spied Harold Conley put a beautiful long shot from his seat into the wastepaper basket with his ever- lasting supply of chewing gum. The most important event in the past decade in Miss Wheadrick's home room history was the election of handsome George Howard Welch as our repre- sentative to the court of the Apple Blossom Queen. This, we believe, is unprecedented in apple blossom history. There has been a great increase in staying after school because of tardi- ness. Martin Teal, Rowland Riley, Iver Johnston, and John Turner have joined this throng in the last few weeks. This brought about another case for our star sleuth to solve.

On the afternoon that the band had their picture taken, we suddenly dis- covered that another additional piece of furniture had been placed in the class in the person of Oliver Pels, who, attired in his band uniform, was stand- ing in the corner of the room, for fear that if he sat down he would separate the seat of those very tight band pants from the rest of the uniform. Donald Shumacker has just returned from the hospital and seeing that he was on the last report period's honor roll, we have assumed that his stay in the hospital for appendicitis must have agreed very well with his mental ability if not with his physical ability. He is now out for track, and we all wish him good luck in that line and give him credit for his loyalty to the track team in not letting it down. The hockey team which consisted of Captain Lawrence Hesch, Leo Gagliardi, Raymond Ferrington, Clarence Thomp- son, James Dugan, and john Leichtnam received letters from the home room. Also our home room basketball stars who made the Varsity team, Philip Mc- Cabe, Iver Johnston, and Rowland Riley, received letters. More letters will be given out to the baseball players of the home room and for other things. Miss VVheadrick's boys have had a very successful school year, and they part contented with their work in school and all hope to meet again next year. The home room boys wish to thank Miss Wheadrick for all the wonderful things that she has done for them during the school year. -Joseph La Rocco BIGELOW'S B. L. A. H. Do you know what teacher in the building has been afflicted with a group of hounds which are all alone in their THE FORVM kennel of fame? That is, fame for having the most tardy and absent marks of any of the home rooms. Our angry mistress has a hard time convincing her- self that the excuses, which explain the many occasions when we are indispen- sable to our parents, are bona fide. Many of the famous hounds do not do much howling: therefore, it makes it hard for myself, the news hound, to track them down and paw out some dirt. However, there are a few notorious pups who occasionally get into mischief. Rover Pettit, for instance, must watch carefully or he might be the cause of a suicide if he insists on taking a cer- tain young lady to the P. B. O. dances. By the way, our kennel is well repre- sented in this organization, and also we had quite a large delegation at the P. B. O. sport dance. Ransom and VVatkins uphold our colors in the blueribbon class and have won this honor every six-weeks period this year. The lone W'olfe has also been in this class a few times, and altogether we have had about an average of four hounds in this class every six-weeks period. Our sports reporter VVatkins is also president of both the Junior Class and Hi-Y. We have had one catastrophe in our kennel when Blackie Fink lost his run- ning mate. Tricksy Darrison has been sheared in anticipation of the warm summer months. cybtlllgdpqi' 34 V fdiii, K Noni wll X -'ii '-'f , 9 'lpaib QM: IF , ff F ,Ji x T 4 1 N. s - ,f K-Dean A V Page N inety-S even VV ill Fido Shardon be lonesome when Culver closes?

MISS GERRITY'S HOME ROOM Our last report is due again, Come on, you snoopers, snoop, Uncover each new love affair, Don't let your spirits droop. VVe'll make this Forum the best of all, VVe'll honor our seniors wellg VVe'll give them a happy send-off, With a Forum, their pranks to tell. Now we have made a visit To the army's camp and fold, And ridden in covered wagons, And pioneers' dreams retold. VVe,ve traveled whaling steamers, Upon whose decks we've strolled, VVe've held our own on each new trail, And fought each demon bold. Considering all these heroic deeds, Considering exams to come, VVe'd better study hard again, And put away our fun. But don't forget that smile, For summer will soon be here, Take care of this last Forum, And remember-more next year! The baby of our home room is Dan O'Riel1y, who plays peek-a-boo with a little gal on the opposite side of our spacious room. fP.S. He also plays patty-cake.Q Since a certain little girl sprained Rol Ruhlmann's ankle, it has begun to squeak like some of his father's special sale rollerskates. Evidently he is also very popular. He had four invitations to the Freshman Girl Reserve Dance faccording to his own statementj. It seems that although he searched thoroughly, VV. Craddock could not find a girl his size in the dear old Lock- Page N iuety-E'z'gl1t port High School, so he turned traitor to the cause and took up his delayed but undying love for his grammar school sweetheart, a little girl named Bernice. Tut, tut, first strike and two to go. According to all reports Jack Coyle has not very high hopes of passing general science this June. He has been getting aid for somethingj from Mrs. Shimer's niece D. S. quite regularly. He must be very studious when he can study from nine to twelve oyclock at her house. Williaiii McCarthy's master mind is like a parachute. It functions only when open. G. Gemmer surprised the home room recently by buying the first filler of paper this year. He must be trying to impress someone. Dominick De Filippo shows a good chance of becoming a future Jimmie Durante. It must run in the family. He has a cousin J.V., who is also in the race for the honor. Goodbye. You will hear from us next year when we are no longer freshman. -Gerald Gemmer, Eugene Sheehan WHITW'ELL'S FINAL EDITION take our june inventory, we find that our home room hasn't chang- from the original. Louis La- decided that the C.C.C. was As we ed much Fountain better for him than school, but before we missed him, we acquired a new member just returning from the same organization, in the person of Waltei' Hilger, who daily struts about and shows the muscles he developed from cutting down trees. fOr maybe sap- lings?j VV'e have also acquired two fi fluff s o ft 2' fpfggfofjiylow THE FORVM freshmen who call themselves Arthur E. Brick Ir. and George Adams. Ima- gine! Freshmen in our room. As this is the softball season, we are 1002, interested in our home room team. Sam Duwe and Donald Zimmer- man were elected captain and mana- ger, respectively. Carl Polvino, who has played fairly well in our recent games, tried to show off in the first game and we attribute our defeat to his errors. VV e have won two games out of four so far, and we intend to win the next two. Dave Schwartz intends to help us, apparently. He wore overalls to school today. Recently another great sport came to light among our midst, being indulged in by John Kirkwood Patterson. It seems that while he was practicing golf, along cantered a pretty little lass, who goes by the name of Isobel Dickie, rid- ing a horse which goes by the name of Kit. John was offered a ride and the next few weeks he appeared to be in great pain. The only explanation he could give was the fact that the horse kept coming up when he was going down. Apparently he had never ridden an equine before and when offered something for nothing, he couldn't resist. Polvino, the great lover, recently boasted that he had been out with three different girl friends the night before. Your quite a boy, Carl. Henry Stevens, of all people, has turned farmer and is tilling the soil. He is making numerous trips to a farm some place where he is becoming a veritable rustic. Ask Adolf Schmidt about that book that he has been carrying around. VVell, that's about all, and until next year, when we will all be dignified seniors, we bid you a fond adieu.

This evening we have for THE FORVM our speaker Mr. Nosey, who will talk on the news of the day. He has requested that the people do not take any of his news to heart. May I now introduce Mr. Nosey? Good evening, Forum listeners. As my time is limited and as this is the last broadcast of the year, I wish to say as much as possible in the time allowed me. Doris Simonds has a very becoming scratch on her forehead. 'You ought to see the other girl,' declared Doris, when asked about it. I also wonder how Doris will spend her spare time when Rog Bradley goes away to college in the fall. Many people have asked me what Alvera Hofert sees in the wrestling matches. Oh dear, it's so sad, but the news has arrived that the dear old friend of Corrinne Schrader is expecting to go away. You've heard the saying 'turn about is fair play', and it applies to Edith Vol- schow. Standish Farley took her to the Hi-Y dance, and in return Edith took him to the Girl Reserve dance. May I offer my deepest apologies to Mary Frombgen if the news of the last broadcast caused any trouble between her and hers? janet VVelsh has not been to Medina of late but spends her time in Gasport. Adison Rising is showing her around down there. Since Mildred Holgate has been go- ing with Eddie, she has been frequently seen stepping out. is When the juniors were having their now MANY FOUNTAIN Pr-.N ACQUAAUTEUQE1 Hlwl Barn MADE.

It has been revealed that Rosie Ben and Maxie Intrator are getting along pretty well, in fact, just fine. We never thought it would last that long, but we often get fooled. It certainly was a good thing that Aretha Ritzenthaler managed to make up with her Buel, or we probably would have had to send her lilies. She was home sick for a couple of days and tried to say it was the painting at home that caused it, but we know differently. May I suggest that a few bottles of ketchup be purchased for Juleen Cun- ningham, Mary Frombgen and Joseph- ine Mitchell so they can get to school on time and avoid blue cards? Eleanor Holmes has been trying to avoid Bob Fraser lately. Maybe she is afraid that, with his prisoneris hair cut, they will mistake him for Dillinger and arrest her for being his companion. It seemed very lonesome having Margaret Slattery out of school for al- most three weeks while she was ill. But we are glad she is better and back again. VVell, I see that my time is up and I must say goodbye. Ladies and gentlemen, you have been listening to the interesting news of Mr. Nosey, broadcasting for the last time this season. This is station B-U-R-T signing off. Good night. -Dolores Stern. MISS SNYDER'S HOME ROOM Our beloved teacher has promised us a fine picnic to be held near some water in which the boys can swim and cool off. Up to date our home room soft ball team has no defeats and two victories. the Pierce and Whitwell teams being the victims. By the way we received a treat of ice cream for defeating the Pierce team. Serdensky, Mancini, and Ryan Page One H mzdred are the outstanding stars so far on our team. Most all the boys have suffered slight drops in their marks because spring is here and the L bug has bitten most of them. L stands for lazy and ll Don Covellis girl makes her appear- ance every day in our room, but she doesn't talk to Don. We wonder why? An inside tip informed us that Mat- hew Finn is receiving some extraordi- nary letters from his newest girl friend. Charley Fraizer says that he sits out in front of the school just for air. That's what he wants others to think. Don Covell just got a new style hair cut with a wing effect over his ears. -Harry Mulligan. THE ZIMMER MEN Our good friend Daniel Webster ably defines an alibi as the plea of having been elsewhere when the alleged act was committed. Mr. Zimmerman's home room is full of them. Victor Amoroso pleads guilty to his weakness for dancing, and Howard An- stead tries to explain to us that in his younger days he was quite slender. Is it possible? Robert Hare is paying con- siderable attention to Gin Tooherg he'll pay all right. We suggest that Louie Luckman either put sinkers on his band pants or else wear hip boots. Jimmie Durante will have a rival snozzle in his old age. Glance at Arthur Blimm's.

Jim Brady can skip other things besides rope. Henry made a lady out of Lizzie, but Eric Meyers is mak- ing a regular wreck out of theirs. Mike Bucolo's ambition is to be one of the four horse men. We suggest he try ponies first. The Sub Deb dance had as two of its distinguished guests Miss Olive Engert and Master Carl Bush. We wonder where Anthony Calos was last Friday afternoon? Albert D'Attilio must own a cattle ranchg he's been trying to sell some barbecue tickets to us for the last six months. Norman Day has been ab- sent from school -for over a month fol- lowing an operation for appendicitis at the city hospitalg also at the same time Frank Rose was absent for the same thing. Two lovely sprays of flowers were sent to both and were graciously ac- knowledged. The Easter bunny gave Rob Hayden a surprise when Hulda Libbey accepted his invitation to the Hi-Y dance. George Heary broke a rec- ord in the gym class the other day, but it was of little importance because most people like the radio better now anyway. Edward Hensal will be a physical wreck due ot the sudden exclamations of Miss Pusateri. William Hoffman jumped ex- actly three feet in the recent gym class test. Earl Jones thoroughly enjoyed sit- ting in the double seats in Miss Pusa- teri's room until she moved Jane Morrill away from him. Fred Laux is rapidly progressing with the clarinet, or per- haps it is the clarinetist. Ask Margaret T rott. Alvin Lennox said that he had a good time at the Niagara Falls music festivalg she at least walked down for an ice cream cone with him. The next thing that Lockwood and Walker will be needing to fix their car is a can- opener or a sledge hammer. Bob Mon- tondo agrees with the popular saying a different girl every night, but he still thinks Kay Slate is very nice. Remick Parkway has some fascination for him and George Neale although they must THE FORVM admit that they make quite frequent calls upon Donna Flanders. From the way Philip Rapp swings on the ropes and ladders in gym class one would think he had contracted zoanthropy. John .Rem- ick promised Juleen Cunningham he would do anything she wished, but when she asked him to howl like Tarzan in the library, he refused. It is rumored that Gerald Rosenberg is budding out Q he'll have to in order to feel natural with Betty Farley. Joe Scirto can sell Latin fruits and vegetables better than he can learn Latin. We suggest that we donate derbies to Charley Shearston and Johnnie Symesg they both call each other jake, Leighton Taylor seems to be very well acquainted with the beauties in the Barker band. We wonder where he has spent his spare time. Harry Suthers seems to be com- fortable in his German bush top.

ROSS' REPORT This is station R-O-S-S bringing to you for the next fifteen minutes Alten Inckel who will relate to you the latest and most impressive happenings of the last six weeks. Mr. Alten Inckelf' Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, I have a lot to tell you this evening, so let's get right down to business. Bertha Fuerch and Flee ffor shortj McCoy remained after school again to- day for the same old reason, talking. Jeannette Hutchings succeeded in winning a medal for typing, and she was also registered on the team that won the trophy for Commercial Arithmetic. Tonight I have a surprise for you. I have some new love affairs and new de- velopments on some old ones. Our girls seem to have made quite a hit at Niagara Falls, at least Margaret Savage receives a letter about twice a week that appears very personal, and Evelyn VVollaber is wearing a Niagara Falls High School ring. Mary Brong, who by the way, was chosen to represent our home room in the selection of the Apple Blossom Queen, seems to be having trouble de- ciding which set of initials she likes best G. A., B. C., or S. F. Or isn't it the initials, Mary? One of our sophomore girls, namely Helen Smith, has fallen hard for a freshman, Teddy G. fAnd that, mine friend, is all I could find out.j Ruth Fuerch just recently refused another invitation to a dance. Bye the Page One Hundred Two bye that invitation was extended by a P.G. VVho is this dark handsome fellow Lois Lennbrook strolls with every noon? Two of our girls have gone in for writing letters. Helen Humphrey is car- rying on a secret or rather was a secret correspondence with someone in her algebra class. Helen Steiner is writing to a Mr. Se- crist who is enlisted in a reforestration camp. They couldn't be writing about the lumber! I am afraid something serious has happened to Ephie Schad because for a pastime she has started reading Tarzan books. Unfortunately she lost her book the other day, and her enthusiasm was so great she inquired at the desk and some kind soul returned it unharmed. Well Dick didn't forget Marjorie's birthday or wasn't it Dick who sent the roses, Marj? 'AHave you noticed just about every time you see F. Lamont in the hall she is with E. Shaffer. I thought he went with the big sister. And now, folks, we have the feature of the evening a love affair which has been budding for two years has burst into bloom and is coming along fine.

We have some new neighbors in our communityg namely Miss Dorothy Mc- Keever, Miss Elizabeth McKeever, Mr. Stanley Callahan, and Mr. James Shan- non. Miss Mary Ferguson's little dog Scottie was bound to have his picture taken with all the freshmen on Tuesday afternoon, May 15. Mr. Ward held him off to one side, but it may be that the camera's range was too wide and caught him anyway. l1Ve have two members who are very interested in marionettes. There names are Miss Mary Taylor and Miss Audrey Dreher. Thump, thump, thump, and then a bang! Sure! You might know it's Grant Herrick coming in kicking his instru- ment case along the floor. But he can come in quietly, for when our teacher, Miss Burke made him go out to return quietly, he walked in with his instru- ment case like a guardian angel. Buzz! Buzz, The girls seem excited about something. Buzz! Buzz! Who was that? Only Miss Donna Ulrich asking someone else about the Freshman Girl Reserve Dance. Buzz! Buzz! Who was that!

MISS REYNOLDS' HOME ROOM Calling all cars, the Merry Reynolds' Class is on the rampage again. Well, here it is May, the month of flowers, but we, of the Merry Reynolds' Home Room, get little occasion to view the beauties of nature except thru an open window. Regents time is almost here and we are raring to go. Don't misinterpret us, we aren,t raring to take the regents, but on the contrary not to take them. No one takes anybooks home as we think it is a bad habit to get into. Frank G. Smith, our own Dillinger, has threatened to put John Reese on the spot for captivating the interests of his lady lovel' but we are not reveal- ing the identity of the fair damsel. The funny papers still hold that cer- tain attraction for Harold Heinz Cnot the 58th varietyj and Frank Smith. They have sheepish looks when caught sneaking glances at said article. Bill Lennox, Tiger Ace Junior, our plain and fancy roller skater Cmostly plainj frequents Remick Parkway quite a bit. That's where he falls for the blondes. Peter Corson, who keeps the ties be- tween New York and the Annex warm, came back last time to the surprise of all with a broad New York accent. Fawncy that, my deah! The mystery of the missing books is still unsolved. Bill Smith, sleuth and indulger in dime novels, has been on the case for some time with no results. VVe all unanimously agree that by .proven rights Dave Gebbie's surname should be gabby. If you won't take Page One Hundred Three our word for it, come up some time and hear him debate. Jack Stinson was so anxious to get his name in the Forum that he broke his leg in an effort to create some excite- ment. -Robert Secrist. Richard Boerman. MR.

MISS KENNEY'S HOME ROOM As I entered the large city surround- ing the widest bridge in the country, I wondered how many of my old school mates still resided here. A few of them must, I thought and looked in the city directory. Sure enough, here was one already. Herbert Clark, Mm, I mused, I wonder if he still sits outside of beautiful ladies' homes serenading them till all hours of the morning? I wrote his address down and looked farther into the book until I came to Page 0110 H1l1Idl'C!f Fam' Iidward Getz' name. Does he still take his girl to a restaurant for a sandwich and then go to her home and raid the refrigerator? I asked myself. After I had put aside the directory, I walked down the street and saw a young man walking slowly to and fro. I asked a bystander who it was and he replied, That's Racehorse Philleo, but he won't run since he got his mane cut. This re- minded me of the time the freshman class was having its picture taken. The girls were just climbing up on the plat- form when Charlie, who was sitting on the top row, exclaimed, Helpl I'm fall- ingll' just then I saw a sign reading, Harry Millard, Lawyer. Was I surprised? When he was a student at Lockport High School, he was always absent. What could have changed him so? I en- tered and asked to see Mr. Millard. I am sorry, said the stenographer, but he is out. VVhen may I see him ? I asked. That's hard to say, she replied. Is he that busy? I inquired. Oh! No, you see he only gets here about once a week. He is always absent, she replied. As I was walking out of the building, I saw Oliver DuPont rushing thru the doorway. I re-entered the building and inquired why Mr. DuPont was in such a rush. She said, Mr, DuPont was caught skipping town. He owes the company four thousand dollars. How come? I didn't think that of Mr. DuPont. What did he do? I ask- ed. 'AVV ell, Mr. Millard imposed a ten cent fine on everybody who came one minute late with a quarter for each five min- utes thereafter. Mr. DuPont has never arrived on time. As I walked out of the office I said under my breath, Times haven't chang- ed abit. -VVilliam Moore. THE FORVM MR. WARD'S HOME ROOM VVell, we are with you for the last time this year, we are sorry to say, but before we leave we wish to tell you something. Carl Shuefelt's disgust at being call- ed cute by certain girls is very plain. That tall blonde boy you see ambling around the school is Alex Kolensky, who sees himself, as a combined maestro and star athlete. Thomas Oates has been seen walking to school with several different girls, but when questioned says they're his cousins. John Zinni thought he sounded fierce as he tried to imitate the deep dyed vil- lain of some radio drama, but he could- n't fool us. We saw the grease on his hair. Irving Cunningham has found a new attraction in life, and it takes him to Remick Parkway almost every evening. She's a blonde. Drawings of Wimpy, the Goon and Jiggs have appeared on our blackboards so frequently this year that now we re- gard them almost as classmates. Our representatives in the various musical clubs this year have been Tom Rignel, Alex Kolensky, Ralph Carter and yours truly. With these last words we close for the year. -William Whybrew. MRS.
