Text from Pages 1 - 96 of the 1947 volume:

The Presi cent 1194 E William McKinley i' Mc KINLBY VOCATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL 1500 ELMWOOD AVENUE BUFFALO 7, NEW YORK A GREAT COACH The following article was in print before the passing of Mr. Philip Ackley. May 20, 1947. Just before his illness Mr. Ackley was planning the football strategy for the 1947 season, and as football was his great interest the Presidents stag' is 'leaving this article unchanged. because it portrays our Coach in his favorite rule, producing championship teams. The faculty and students of McKinley pay respects to a great coach,'r'able instructor, and good friend, Mr. Philip Ackley. Mr. Ackley was born in Ohio, where he graduated from Caldwell High School. He next attended Oberlin College, where he played football, basketball, and baseball. Bucknell College came next. There he carried on in the field of physical education, and took a course in football from the late Knute Rockne. Mr. Ackley came to Buffalo in 1929 and taught physical instruction at Seneca Vocational High School. In 1930 Mr. Ackley left Seneca and came to McKinley where he assumed the position of physical instructor. Since 1938 Mr. Ackley has been head coach of McKinley teams. He will always be noted for the outstanding performance turned out by his foot' ball, teams during the past Eve years. In 1942 McKinley shared the title for the cup with Burgard, but in '43, '44, '45, and '46 the lvlacs' team came out on top with flying colors, not to mention the pennant, and the permanent possexion of one coveted trophy. Mr. Ackley relates, the winning of the 1944 season Harvard Cup, as his greatest thrill. In reviewing his teams of the past, Mr. Ackley recalls his football team of 1945 as the best grid team that he has ever coached, because of their keen sportsmanship, speed, deception in plays. , ' Mr. Ackley is also an acclaimed basketball coach, and in 19444945, 19491946 seasons his teams captured the Yale Cup. Over this two year period Mr. Ackley's teams gained the reputation of being good sports, as well as great players. In this period they turned out a remarkable twentyfthree game winning streak. Some of the college athletes of today who have received their training under Mr. Ackley are Bob MacKinnon, Les Molnar, Tony Bolognese, and Chet Kwasek. Unknown to many of the boys is the fact that Mr. Ackley was formerly a topfrate bowler, but he has now retired from' active participation in sports. Mr. Ackley believes in teaching his teams sportsmanship, and his outlook on this subject is indicated in his comment, Ten years from now the boys won't remember what the scores were, but they will remember and practice the lessons they have learned in sportsmanship. So in dedicating this, the 1947 President, to Mr. Philip Ackley, the students and faculty of McKinley are taking this method of saying thank you for a job well done. 4 DoN ANGER '47 Horticulture r Three PRESIDENT STAFF 1947 FRANK RLTCHLE, Edilar-In-Chief ERNEST ZDROJEWSKI Arr I Edlror Four SPORTS STAFF RICHARD B.

Because of the lack of room it is unlikely that this number will ever be ex- ceeded. The large size of this class is partly due to the great number of veterans, former students of McKinley, who are completing their high school work this year. There -are also several members of the senior class of last year I who have completed their re- - quirements in summer or eve- Ronrakr S. I-Ioous ning school. . Wie have been fortunate in having these veterans in attendance who, by exemplifying earnestness and determination in securing a diploma, have been an inspiration to teachers and students alike. The past year has taken toll of the lives of two of McKinley's finest teachers-I-Ienry Staubitz and Philip Ackley. These were, indeed, tragic blows, Mr. Hebert has been ill for the entire year. Mr. Notar was drafted to take charge of the Building Construction Course at the New York State Institute of Applied Arts and Sciences. Mr. Sutton, Mr. Lucchino and Mr.'Koch resigned for employment elsewhere. In the tield of sports, an unparalleled series of athletic victories has brought fame to McKinley. During the past live years the teams have won the Harvard Cup live times, the Yale Cup twice, and the Cornell Cup once. In addition, two Cross Country and three All-Vocational victories were added to McKinley's laurels. . . Much progress has been made at McKinley in developing complete courses of study in detail for all the shop work and related technical subjects. A greatly improved school paper, an attractive year book. an efficient Student Council and a well attended Open House have all contributed to a successful year. As a fitting climax to four years of work, the class will be addressed at commencement by our Super- intendent, Dr. Robert T. Bapst, who joins me in conveying our best wishes to the Class of 1947. Romzrxr S. Hoouz Forty-one X i l l J. t. , . ' Allen Speck. Seniur Class lnstructur Checking Work Being Done by Roy Svenssin SELECTIONS FROM IF I XVERE 21 by ll m. Kimd-eu If I were twenty-one I would be a mechanic. I would try to get work in a machine shop. If that failed I would try for a job in a Hlling sta- tion, or .is an apprentice to an electrician or a plumber, or as a clerk behind a counter, or as an errand boy. I would try to get some work to do with my hands. Nowadays in America most youngsters want a college education. That is all right, I would probably want one, too. But I wouldn't, if I knew what I know now, let the college education inter- fere with my practical education as a mechanic. For that I have some good reasons. Last summer I talked a good deal with some young college seniors. They all seemed worried about how they would get their start in life. What shall we do? they asked. What shall we head for I suggested that they go out and try to get a job working with their hands: filling station, fac- tory, store, machine shop. They were puzzled. 7.. Forty-two MACHINE SHOP COURSE I NSTRUCTORS Mr Ervin Borth Mr. Allen Speck Mr. Chester Fissler Mr, Charles Kieb Mr. Robert Milius Mr. Carl Pundt They thought I was joking. Vlfhy, they were college men, Manual labor would involve fin some way I don't understandj a loss of standing, of prestige. Furthermore, these youngsters had never had any training in practical, mechanical skills. They wouldn't know how to start. Now, these were pretty good, average, decent, intelligent young Americans. The fact that they feared to go to work with their hands indicates there is something wrong with our system of training. That's not the true American tradition. George Wasliington was for years a hard-working sur- veyor: Thoinas jetferson was a gifted designer of useful appliances, Benjamin Franklin was a jour- neyman printer, an inventor, and the best elec- trician ol his ageg Abraham Lincoln split rails, kept a store, built and worked on flatboats. The fact that these men knew how to work with their hands undoubtedly contributed to their hard, practical sense. What to do about it? Well, I think all our schools should put more emphasis on training in manual skills, give more opportunity for young- sters to test the theories they learn in actual prac- tice, let them compete with one another in build- ing useful things. You can tell a boy what a pump isg but if he gets a pipe, and, by means of a cork on a string, draws water up through that pipe, he really rmdertlmzdr what a pump is. But there is nothing wrong with this country which American brains, energy, and good will cannot cure. As we readjust and get back into balance there are going to be greater opportunities than ever before. The boy who assumes otherwise, who is not ready for the opportunities as they come, is going to miss the boat. From my knowl- edge of American industry, it is my conviction that the development in this country is going to be greater in the next Hfty years than it was in the last Hfty years. If I were twenty-one, well-I would much rather be it than talk about it, but I would not, I believe, hestitate for a moment to try it over again on the same pattern.

Sheetmctal PLAN OF INSTRUCTION IN BUILDING TRADES During the first year of instruction in any of the building trades courses students are given a foundation training in Eve different shops. Eight weeks are spent in each of the following shops: Bricklaying, plastering, sheetmetal, carpentry and plumbing. Stu- dents must know by the end of their first year in which shop they wish to get addi- tional three years' training. The purpose of this first year general training is to acquaint the student with the problems of the trades- mfaftr-'SW f 'X I ,s.,s -,f -?1iZf?xs!2r:'?T5t'2tT'i . ' ig?

He must be trained to execute the plans of the Landscape Archi- tect on large public or private projects. He must be able to design smaller landscape jobs and do all the work on them. It is necessary that he knows all the trees, flow- ers, shrubs and bulbs which thrive in his locality. He must know their habits and require- ments ro grow them successfully. A work- ing knowledge of the construction and maintenance of roads, walks, walls, garden pools, trellises, summer houses and garden furniture is very important. Western New York is becoming more garden conscious than ever before. There are many landscape architects, landscape gardeners, and nurseries maintaining a gardening service in need of boys with this type of training, PARK FORESTER This is a highly specialized field of hor- ticulture, Complete knowledge of and the ability to successfully grow all kinds of trees, shrubs and flowers is of IUOSI im- portance. The prevention of diseases and the treatment for them, as well as thetprac- tice of tree surgery, are regular duties of a man in this kind of work. Park accessory jobs such as road building, painting, irri- gation and drainage, construction and maintenance of park buildings must be Forty-four HORTICULTURE Landscape Vrfork-Greenliousc Practice I NST RUCTORS Mr. Tobbio Martino Mr. Wm. Losel RELATED Wcmkk Mr. Clarence Robertson thoroughly understood. A knowledge of design in the utilization of plants and shrubs is highly desirable. NURSERYMAN In the nursery trade the worker is em- ployed to propagate or start plants of all kinds and nurse these plants until such a time as they may be ready to sell. I The nurseryinan works out-of-doors and in greenhouses. Generally the nursery grows trees and shrubs fdeciduous and evergreen, fruit and ornamenralj starting them in the green- house, the hot bed or cold frame, then transplanting them later to the open fields. From the field rows nursery stock is dug and placed on the market for sale. Sales- manship in this field is very important. In Westerii New York there are at least ten large nurseries who employ men trained in this field of horticulture, , FLORIST The florist grows beautiful flowers and house plants in his greenhouses and sells them wholesale and retail. This trade re- quires workers who not only are able to grow plants but also have sales and artistic ability, for in this business the worker must sell, usually in the store, and is required to decorate private homes, clubs, churches, etc., with Howers and other plants. In Western New York, there are hun- dreds of persons employed in this type of work. Val Bermcl Dun Tlmmpsnn O Scenes in the Pattern Shop.

Elmer Clabeau THE PATTERNMAKER A patternmaker is an industrial worker who makes models from Wood, plaster, or wax, which may be molded into specially prepared sand or other materials into which molten metal and other materials in liquid state may be poured, which, when cooled or set, form castings to be used industrially. Samples of these uses are: for parts of en- gines, automobiles, machines, etc. The pat- ternmaker works with a large variety of hand tools, and also with machines, includ' ing the lathe, band saw, circular saw, joiner, etc. There is a wide range of types of pat- terns and pattern work, such as solid pat- terns, split patterns, shell patterns, sweep and skeleton patterns. Sample products from these types of patterns are: split patterns Qiron dumb bellsjg shell patterns Qsteam or hot water radiatotsjg sweep patterns flarge pipe or large kettlejg skeleton pattern fmedium size cast iron pipes ranging from 12 to 1s J. P There are two types of pattern shops'- the jobbing shop, where patterns are made for other firms, and the industrial shop con- nected with a manufacturing plants Industry is dependent upon the pattern- maker for the many castings of various types which make possible the assembly of modern machinery. Forty- five LAYOUT and DRAFTING , s i i Mr. joseph Hackett showing some points in gear design to Pattern Sophomores. MATHEMATICS and PHYSICS An expert mechanic must understand and be able to use etfectively the principles ot' nmtlieinatics ,md science. The best way to learn these principles is by solving problems that arise in the daily shop work. This training, usually unobminable in employment, is designed to develop the highly-skilled artisan. PIIOIO shows Mr. Otto Willaix supervising nn experiment. Forty-six 4 ENGLISH and SOCIAL STUDIES No mechanic can hope to advance in his trade without a command of good English. He should be able to understand oral and written orders and be able to convey information to others. Social studies are designed to make better citizens, A good citizen in a democracy is a more efficient mechanic. Photo shows joseph Deluhery teaching the correct way to use radio scripts.

In the junior-senior league, rollcall 471 came through as-champs of their division while rollcall 171, a remarkable freshmen team, drew honors in the freshmen-sophomore league. These two teams met in a 3-game series with the team winning two out of the three games to be crowned school champs. The seniors, 471, won the lirst game, but the freshmen scored a comeback and won the second game thereby tying up the league. In the final game, although the freshmen played good basketball they lost, and the senior team walked ot? with the banner.

In order to have future winning teams he decided to prepare for the following seasons by enlarging the squad with promising underclass- men. The squad consisted of sixteen players with eight to return next year. The team played their schedule with great success even though they did not win all their games, as a result we can hope for a better season next year.

The most outstanding of these was Walter Chipple who is now playing with the Little Rock team of the Southern Associa- tion. Watlter is our only player to make the major leagues, having played with Wzlsltingtotl in the American League, His real name is Walter Chlipala, and he resides at 58 Grote Street. Ed Retzer, too small to play while in McKinley, was a great pitcher later on. At one time he was owned by Buffalo.

Staubitz, instructor in senior machine shop and later supervisor of all requisitions at Black Rock Trade school and McKinley Vocational High School for the past twenty-seven years, died on March 22, 1947, at the age of 59. He will be remembered fondly by hundreds of former McKinley students in all walks of life as a quiet, kindly gentleman who was always ready to aid his students in their prob- lems. Witli his passing, McKinley and the city of Buffalo lost a real teacher and a won- derful man. P Mr. Staubitz was an ardent lover of SPUIIS, and in his early years as an instructor he coached McKinley's baseball teams. At one time he was the chairman of the safety com- mittee and also was in charge of supplies for defense training sessions. Mr. Staubitz had been ailing for the last three or four years, but inspire of this he continued to teach when he could possibly attend the school. He is survived by Mrs. Edward Gerecke, his daughterg two sons, Dt. Williaimi J. and Robert C. He was the grandfather of Sharon Lee Staubitz. Wie all sincerely regret the passing of Mr. Staubitz but know he will live with us always in pleasant memories. -- Repri11l from llve Artisan .

Exterior View of our School from Elmwood Avenue A GAME GUY'S PRAYER Dear God: Help me to be a sport in this little game of life. I don't ask for any place in the lineup, play me where you need me. I only ask for the stul'I to give you n hundred per cent of what I've got. If all the hard drives come my way I thank You for the compliment. Help me to remember that You won't let anything come that You and I together can't handle. And help me to take the bad breaks as part of the game. Help make me thankful for them. And, God, help me always to play on the square, no matter what the other players do. Help me to come clean. Help me to see that often the best part of the game is helping other guys. Help me to be a 'regular fellow with the other players. - Finally, God, if fate seems to uppercut me with both hands and I'm laid up on the shelf in sickness or old age, help me to take that as part of the game also. Help me not to whimper or squeal that the game was a frameup or that I had a raw deal. When in the dusk I get the linal bell, I ask for no lying, complimentary stones. I'd only like to know that You feel I've been a good guy. -ChapIain'.r Digexl.
