HJ , THE NIAGARLAN f xdtll-in NINETEEN THIHIYONE DEDICQATION This Volume of the Niagarian is dedicated to the Spirit of Youth. By its undying flame even though burning at varying intensities in our hearts, may we he drawn into closer fellowship, and may we he inspired by its spontaneity and true worth with noble ideals for the years to come.

THE NIAGABIAN igadtitp NINETEEN Truim-ONE Thank 'You ,N its several business relationships the staff of the 1931 Niagarian has been singularly fortunate in meeting generous and courteous persons and organizations. Grateful, the staff wishes to thank its benefactors publicly. To Mark R. Bedford, our faculty adviser, we cannot offer thanks commensurate with his helpful advice and guidance, due. to his wide experience. Not only has he taken a heartfelt interest in our book on which he has worked so hard, but his sympathetic understanding of each one of us has endeared him to our hearts. The care and attention which a year book entails on a faculty adviser is laborious to say the least, and we thank Mr. Bedford. We are deeply indebted to Norman Schoelles and Norman Martin, our staff artists, who have shown an exceptional degree of artistry in doing the greater part of the art work for the 1931 Niagarian. The quality of their work speaks for itself. We thank Lester White for his many snapshot contributions. Mr. Kondo of the Kondo Studio, has put such a personal touch to his work as photographer for the year book, that we sincerely thank him. Mr. Christ, as a representative of the Buffalo Engraving Company, has offered suggestions and professional advice which have been exceed' ingly helpful. Mr. Byron Human, of Byron Human Printing and Binding Works, has taken extra time to painstakingly explain the essentials of printing and to offer his advice on matters in which he is skilled and experienced. Lastly, we thank those who have so generously patronized us by buying our book. 1101 4 cUfow he prayed and how he fasted, Cgfow he lived and toiled, and suffered That the tribes of men might prosper, That he might advance his people , HIAWATHA. THE NIAGARIAN NINETEEN THIRTY ONE KW 4 ,,.,' JAMES F. TAYLOR May I take this opportunity to congratulate the edif tor of this year's Niagarian? The publication is a great credit to the people directly responsible for its production, as well as to the Senior Class as a whole. The record of the High School has been a very fine one in the past and the Class of 1931 has well maintained the high standard of scholarship and school loyalty which has been such a characteristic of the student body through the years. As you leave the portals of Niagara Falls High School may your departure be a happy one, due to a feel- ing of satisfaction in a task Well performed. I wish for your life that which will bring to you the most of real happiness and to the world the maximum of good. JAMES F. TAYLOR. i 12 l THE NIAGARIAN NINETEEN TI'I1RI'Y-ONE l xc, , AV.'-f-A ' l LYQNDON H. STROUGH To Every Senior: Here's wishing you health, wealth and happiness: health of mind characterized by clear thinking and level- headed common senseg wealth made up of the gold of sterling character that neither rusts nor decays with the ravages of timeg happiness that results from the achieve' ment of high aspirations, and the contribution to life of worthy tasks wellfdone.

MISS EMMA HULEN To the Class of 1931: Greetings and Farewell The years we have spent together in Niagara Falls High School have been all too short for most of us. Whatf ever regrets you may have at leaving, progress decrees you should go on with the business of life whether that be in the store, the office, or at more advanced schools of learning. Wherever you may be and in whatever activity en' gaged carry with you the knowledge that we are always ready to assist you when we may. Your successes will be a source of pride to us, and if at times there must be failures you will find sympathy and a, helping hand ready for you. EMMA HULEN. I 14 J THE NIAGABIAN NINETEEN THIHI'Y'ONE MARK R. BEDFORD To Each Senior: To the Seniors who are about to graduate from Niagara Falls High School, I make this brief message of best wishes and farewell. It gives me a great deal of satis' faction to have had the splendid privilege of acquaintance and true friendship that my contact with students afforded me, yet there is also a cause for regret because many most worth while students I do not come to know intimately. I also wish to thank the graduating class of 1931 for bestowing upon me the unique honor of being their one class adviser. I hope I have not disappointed you in my efforts. Although it is hard to quit the pleasant place, yet know that our thoughts will be with you in every honest undertaking. Then too, I wish to express to the Seniors my sincere hope for their splendid success. Live noble lives, do noble deeds, and be noble men and women. MARK R, BEDFORD. I 17 J THE NIAGARIAN .

Where the crimson heaven and earth are one, There stirs a rustling breeze amid the gloaming That grows with every breath intensified, And, waxing stronger blows with greater impetus Thru dark socketed avenues fraught with air, Swoops swiftly down across the sullen river As lightning leaps from darkening, dreary skiesg a prolonged blessing To the restless waters in silent supplication, That, made aware, forsake their dismal dullness To ripple with plangent and fullfclashing waves, And then flow with eddying currents onward Thru the ominous night of prevailing darkness. All serene save the silver of their laughter That proclaims the perilous journey started To the silent sentinels that mark their progress. V Their voyage leads Thru watery realms, past dreary, squalid scenes Reflecting mean abodes of industry, And boisterous towns now drunk with potent sleep, Enmeshed in weird, fantastic leadenfshadowsg Then o'er the majestic monarch of Niagara, To crash against the jagged rocks below, fThe massed fragments from the lofty parapet, Broken by the erosive power of their flowingj. E401 1 '.,, :.k THE NIAGARIAN M NINETEEN TH1R'l'Y-ONE CLASS POEM-CLASS 19 3 1-Continued Success Nothing daunted, They flow with summoned strength omnipotent Towards the beckoning goal undeterred, And above the rending roar that follows Is audible the seething sallies of their spirit. Then of a sudden the rushing rapids loom, - Defiant, taunting, daring, and arrogant, In their farfreaching, everfswirling eddies That portend the fated doom of rampant watersg and yet undaunted They plunge determined in their effort With relentless dashings directed to the foe. And lo! their streaming currents emerging They ilow undeviated towards the Lake, Where the waning stars bear witness once again To the mingling and blending of the watersg And the murmuring music of their flowing Lingers exultant on the dying wind.

Although we are eager to step forward to make names for ourselves in the business world or in our pursuit of higher learning, we cannot suppress a feeling of genuine regret when we think of the happy hours of social, sport, and educational life which we are leaving behind us. We have attended high school as a large, happy family for the past three years. We have worked conscientiously and have finally reached our goal. We are tonight gathered together for the last time. Soon we shall part and tomorrow we shall be scattered. May we, each of us, be as successful in our endeavors to lead happy, useful lives as we have been here in earning our high school diplomas. I wish to take this opportunity to thank you, fellow classmates, for the great honor which you have bestowed upon me by selecting me as your president. My tasks were many, but your generous cooperation made them light and enjoyable. I only hope that I have proven worthy of the trust which you placed in me. I i The Class of 1931 wishes to express its gratitude and appreciation in a threeffold way: First of all, I want to thank our parents for their wonderful cooperation in making this commencement possible, second, I thank the Board of Education and the people of Niagara Falls for this beautiful building which we have had both the privilege and the pleasure of using, and third, I thank Mr. Lyndon H. Strough, our principal, lvliss Emma Hulen, vice principal, and our teachers, for their kind and earnest counsel and their deep interest in our welfares. Inspired by their gener' osity may we leave here tonight to lead serviceable lives and to live up to high ideals. NORMAN TRUESDALE, President, Class of 1931. N21 aiarr THE NIAGABIAN NINETEEN THlHI'Y-ONE , Class History CLASS OF 1931 IME what an important and surprising effect lt has on mankind. T I It 1S difficult to reahze that it was but four years ago when we, the mighty Seniors of the Niagara Falls High School first banded together into two groups impelled by a common impulse striving for a l l , ' 3 , single goal. l I We were Seniors in Junior High School and we certainly felt imporf tant. The shining light of graduation dazzled our eyes and blinded us to everything else. In our own minds, at least, we were superior to others. There were two Junior High Schools, North and South, and two Senior classes united by no ties save a fundamental purpose and their general attitude toward life. Graduation with its longedffor diplomas came and passed. When September came we awoke with a jolt. Who were we after all to hold our heads so high! Seniors-the title seemed dull and flat to our ears as we gazed upon numberless hordes of Upperclassmen. We found ourselves Freshmen, apparently to be scorned or unnoticed by every' one. We soon became well acquainted with our brothers from the other Junior High School. Registration, with its novelties which are always a terror to Freshmen, was soon over and we went to work with a will. The fact that we always did what the teachers told us shows that we were typical Freshmen. We toiled along resolutely, quietly minding our own business and trying to imitate the actions of our Upperclassmen. The days sped by-Thanksgiving, Christmas and MidfYear Exams were soon over. The next important event of the year was Wing Collar Day. How we dreaded it coming! For years we had heard of how the'Freshf men were treated on that day. The impatient attitude of the juniors and Seniors seemed to substantiate these stories. The announcement on the day preceding that there would be no unnecessary roughness gave us little consolation, and that all Freshmen must wear green ties was in itself humiliating. Well, the great day arrived. We sported our wing collars and flashed our green ribbons in the very faces of our betters. Happily, the casualties were few. No doubt our tormentors were appalled by our great numbers and formidable appearance. After this outstanding day fContinued on page 441 f43l M' ,A- - iiiis TI-IE NIAGABIAN LM NINETEEN THIRIY-ONE CLASS HISTORY-Continued history and the stream of school life was again flowing normally. Hearing some mention of those dreaded Regents, we became alarmed to the extent that we now devoted all our time to study and successfully passed all our final exams. We were Juniors. It seemed impossible that we immature youngsters of the previous year could be so far advanced. But there we were in full force of our numbers. No longer must we remain in oblivion. No longer must we study in the cafeteria and balcony. We blossomed forth like a spring flower upon which the sun's rays were gently falling. We made it a point to outdo our predecessors. We even stood outside of classrooms in defiance of rules. To our disgrace we slept in study halls when we should have studied. We even on special occasions did not hesitate to skip classes, a thing which we would scarcely had dared think of when Freshmen. However, in spite of these diversions, we worked hard and successfully passed our MidfYears. As Wing Collar Day once more approached, we watched with malicious delight the countenances of the Frosh take on expressions of alarm and apprehension, quite the same as ours had done one year previous. On the great day itself we proudly flaunted our flaming ensigns, and longed to do to the Freshmen as our classmates ten years ago had done. However, such primitive pursuits are much too undignified for a class such as ours. Now at the warnings of our teachers we began to study in earnest with the gloriousresult that we passed our Finals with flying colors. Seniors-how glorious the title sounded to our alert ears. Now we could do as we pleased, so we thought. We regarded the Freshmen, if we noticed them at all, as mere impediments to our progress only to be gently but firmly pushed aside. Even the Juniors were treated with a sort of cool dignity. We soon found, however, that there was still a lot to be learned, so with a sigh of resignation we once more settled down to work. The Hrst semester of our Senior year passed rapidly, interrupted slightly by Thanksgiving and Christmas vacation. january exams were but a slight inconvenience to us and we found ourselves on the last lap of our journey. We now formally banded together into a group. Meetings were held every other Thursday and our first legal act was to elect our class officers. We chose fContinued on page 451 I 44 l . ii rs THE NUXGARIAN W NINETEEN Tl'llRTY'ONE CLASS HISTORY-Continued NORMAN TRUESDALE f f f President MARY LOUISE PHELPS f f VicefPresident MANDANA PETERSON f f Secretary HOWARD SMITH f f f f Treasurer MR.

JOHNSON ffff Historian Wing Collar Day came for the third time during our travels here but, as behtted our position as Seniors we refrained from any strenuous activities. Of course we allowed the younger classes to have their fun and we displayed our colors of orchid and yellow in a conservative fashion according to custom. Unfortunately, an epidemic of spotted fever broke out in the city and we were forcibly detained from school for a week. On April 30th and May lst, we presented our Senior play, 'lLuca Sarto. Due to the tireless efforts of the members of the cast the production was a shining example of real dramatic ability and was received enthusiastically by both audiences. However, by dint of added effort we completed our work and after many days of intense worrying we passed our Regents in spite of the many doubts voiced about us. At this time perhaps it may seem appropriate to some to act as the humorists picture us-as leaping and singing with joy. As we think of the day when we go out from. these halls of learning never to return perhaps, we find in our hearts a deep regret mingled with our' joy. It is hard to part with one with whom we have been so closely associated for the last three years. Go we must, but the red and gray will always have a tender spot in our hearts. We are proud to call Niagara Falls High School our Alma Mater. J JOSEPH A. JOHNSON, ' Class Historian. II4'5l In' If 0 Civ ' THE NUMEABLAN NDEHTEN'HHRTFONE Class Statistics CLASS OF 1931 HE Class of 1931 sets aside the sole honor of being called not the largest class that has everhgraduated from Niagara Falls High School but the honor of being called the class with the most pep, stamina, stickftofitfivefness, and school spirit. You have learned of the trials and difhculties, as well as the follies of the class from our accomplished historian and in the near future you will learn of our brilliant and glorious careers from our farfseeing prophet as he looks beyond the horizon of the present day into the untried tomorf row. It has become my bounden duty, my solemn responsibility to thrust upon the screen the inevitable present. When this new and unforeseen task became mine, I wondered and wondered again how I should play the part of a mathematician well enough or statistically enough to collect by pounds, yards, gallons, inches, and otherwise enough data to fill the screen of the present for your view. Looking back through the volumes of history of the school which included the establishing of the Niagara Falls High School in 1898, the building of a Niagara Falls High School on this site in 1903, and the erecting of a new High School in 1925 after the fire in 1922 in the old High School, I found that this is the 42nd class to graduate from the original Niagara Falls High school. 28th class to graduate from the Niagara Falls High School which was situated on this site. 6th class to graduate from the new Niagara Falls High School. Seniors in their school life at Niagara Falls High School Have learned to Share. Seniors have learned to be Equitable. Seniors have obtained some degree of Notoriety. Seniors have obtained some degree of Fame. Seniors have noble Ideals. Seniors avail themselves of worthwhile Opportunities. Seniors choose the Right. ' This lordly class can boast of 398 beautifully painted lips, dividing this number by two, we find that the more prominent sex number 199. ' fContinued on page 471 I46l 'f' T5 :xx THE NIAGABIAN 3,415 3 NINETHZN THIRTY-ONE CLASS sTAT1sT1os-oomamed By a count of right hands of boys only when taking a vote of Senior Class we counted 135 . In size we range from George Sisson who is five feet wide, to our Buzzy Tuttle, who is onefhalf foot broad. V Because of the fact that some of our old standfbys refused to admit that they were as yet old enough to vote, and also because of the fact that many of the girls began 'to blush and shrink shamefully away when asked their ages, we were unable to obtain the actual age of this class. How' ever, here are the figures at which I finally arrived: 3,450 years, 62 months, 83 weeks, 5 days, 72 hours, 63 minutes, and M4 second, including the Basketball team. I don't suppose it is necessary to tell you that dresses are becoming longer. Why, some of the fairer sex have dresses sweeping the floor- a good laborfsaving device, I would call it. Look about you, Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Incidentally it is found that only three pairs of glasses have been bought by the male gentry of this class this last year due to the factthat skirts are becoming longer. Perhaps it will be more interesting to the other part of our class to know that there are exactly 9,450 square inches or 62.84 square feet of leather used for the soles of their shoes. After careful observation and deep consideration, I discovered that for the three years we have been in this building only 198 spike heels have been lost, strayed, or stolen. V There is one matter of great importance to almost everyone. That is the matter of dates. There have been 52,925 dates this past year, not kept but eaten. , After spending 6 days, 3 nights, 4 hours, 16 minutes, and 9V2 seconds counting the wads of gum under the seats in the auditorium, tables and chairs in the cafeteria, desks in the study halls and class rooms, especially in detention study hall, I find that we are responsible for 5,678 sticks of gum either chiseled, bought, or just taken when no one was looking. While observing the various points of interest in and about the school I have found, perhaps to the astonishment of many of you, that we have in our midst 58 beautiful, graceful, shy, little mice of which only i QContinued on page 481 I 47 l' M f A' ' 6 1 THE NIAGARIAN piggdtil fi NINETEEN THIHTY-ONE i CLASS STATISTICS-Continued 5 have been caught. So you see that the members of this Senior Class are not the only ones who have been seeking an education. One of our brilliant mathematicians, Norman Martin by name, in trying to determine the number of windows in this edifice, found that there were 2,544 panes of glass in all the windows of the school and then he divided this number by 12, the number of panes in each window. This gave the answer of 212 windows in Niagara Falls High School. Of course, to a great mathematician, this is only a simple way to solve such a problem. We found, upon examination, that the only well used text books were those belonging to the teachers, although we showed our eagerness to learn by getting magazines from the Public Library. 4 This class is one very widely scattered. We have been gathered in from Youngstown, Lewiston, Pekin, Sanborn, La Salle, Ransomville, and even Bergholtz, which makes a total of 144 square miles. The imaginations of 201 have been greatly augmented this past year due to the talks given us by Bob Limbert and Andy Murphy. 257 have also developed surprising ingenuity inventing excuses to present to Miss Shultz, a task which has been the hardest thing ever undertaken and accomplished by the members of the Class of 1931. After the physical examination conducted by 2 doctors, 3 nurses, and 16 assistants, it was reported that 282 of us-the other one having attained heart trouble from over studying-were physically and mentally capable to be classed as High School Seniors-much to the doubt of some of our struggling teachers. Curs is the honor this year of having 4 of the 5 boys who have brought their school much honor and distinction. I refer to the members of that efhcient Basketball team who won for their school the R. P. I. cup for Basketball in Western New York State. The number of square yards of examination paper written by the students of this class, if placed edge to edge, would completely cover all of Niagara County and would probably overlap in some parts. I might enumerate figures ad infinitum speaking of eyebrow pencils, powder puffs, etc., but time is short, facts are facts and there is no room here for complaints, and since I solemnly swear that these statistics are the truth, the whole truth and anything but the truth, any complaints may be Bled at the principal's office.

Suddenly, a clawflike hand grasped my arm. I turned and gazed into an old, wizenedfup face, encased in India's traditional turban. He spoke but one word, Follow Through curiosity, I did that very thing. I followed him in the crooked, hawkerf laden streets and finally into a bazaar. We passed to the rear of the place until my friend paused before a trap door which he raised and pointed down with a finger as worn and shriveled as was his face. Unheedful of the consequences, I descended, my Hindu, if such he were, clambering after me. I looked about me. We were standing in a small, low room, containing nothing but a strip of velvet, mounded in the center, which lay on the floor. The old man advanced toward me, his eyes burning me like fire, then he spoke. I am the last of the Hunza Kashmiri. My thoughts flew. Every visitor to the shores of India hears of the tribe of gazers who dwell high up in the Hunza Mountains of the north. For Hfty years not one of these famed men had been seen or heard of. Could this man be one of the ageffamous truth seekers? Impossible! Prove it to me, I cried. A bitter, triumphant smile spread o'er his face as he tore his ragged shirt from his bosom. There before my eyes was the jade dragon, imbedded in his chest. He spoke again, You shall see my power. You, the first of your creed. So saying, he slipped the velvet away. A perfect crystal globe rested upon two manyfheaded dragons of bronze. When I looked at it, it seemed to draw my eyes down, down into its icy clearness. I was fascinated. He spoke again, Seek what you will, and you shall see as in a dream. It was then that a boyhood desire -surged through me. On graduation night in 1931, I was class prophet. What a wonderful thing, to see all those I spoke of in their true pursuit of life. I squatted before the great, crystal orb and expressed my desire. I seemed to sink into its very core, down into its depths, down . . . down . .- . down. D - Suddenly I was on a street, and coming toward me were two men each pushing D. P. S. cans before them. I recognized them at once. Leon Prior and Bob Russell. I overheard them discussing horses in no gentle terms. I realized that I must be invisible, for they walked right through me when I attempted to stop them. The Hgures blurred and I found myself in a palatial night club. The master of ceremonies-I blinked twice, Donald Blackmarr, waving his baton at Don Gallahue, Gard Dales, Frank Donnely and George Cooley, still at the old jazz band. A chorus fContinued on page 501 CLASS CF 1931 T was the 11th of March in the year 1950. I was standing in the I 49 I , l ff 'W THE NIAGARIAN NINETEEN T1-HHIY-ONE xx! CLASS PROPHECY-Continued of girls was sweeping before me. The whole front row seemed to be composed of my former graduates. Bea Hopkins, Marion Weber, Helen Moxham, Margaret Bird, Helen Miller, and Dorothy Smith glided before my astounded eyes. What a queer thing life is, I thought, as I found myself entering the side show of a circus. I know one who will be here, I said to myself. And sure enough, there was dear old George Sisson with an admiring throng around him. Bob Dennis couldn't fool me, even if he had changed his name to Bustum-the strongest man in the univoisef' And then there was the missing link who somehow looked familiar under all the hair. Why, of course, I recognized Orville Henning, although he did look his part wonderfully. The circus faded, and I found myself in William Alliss' beauty parlor watching Mercedes Doyle, Mary Louise Phelps and Helen D'Wor work on Mario Di Gregorio's hands, face and hair. And how he liked it! Next a row of telephone girls came before us. Here and there I saw familiar faces. Evelyn Bale, Josephine Blank, Dorothy Brick, Mary Coalla, Dorothy Davies, and Carolina DiVita smiled into their phones. Then the scenes started changing in rapid succession, so fast that I just caught a glimpse of each person. Elmer Woolcutt was leading the cheers for Vassar. Marjorie Anthony, heroine, and Sylvia Whitmire, vamp, were playing opposite the great star, Roy MacDonald. The picture was titled The Love Clinch. Forest Barter and Donald Brinton were waiting favorable weather to land their latest cargo fmarked Ginger Alej on the coast. Harry Carnegie was an all day sucker tester in the Necco Laboratories. I saw John Crowley with Ruben Gebell and Jack Laughton bumming their way back home from college. Florence Connor, June Smith, Gertrude MacAnulty, and Margaret Terwilliger were all stenographers in the Hrm of J. Johnson and L. Sozio, piano movers, wall paper removers, dog boarding, and general handiwork. Next I was standing outside a large building in Buffalo which I rec' ognized as the state home for the mentally unbalanced. As I gazed through the gates I was touched to see Assod Elias, and john Filipelli arguing which one was Napoleon. But Marie Gridley won the argument by appearing as Wellington and attempting to kill them both. It took guards L. Jugle and Russ Kennedy a half hour to get her under control. Then I found myself watching a house. Suddenly Erma Hallett looked out the door and stealthily snook up the street. Immediately after her Charlotte Mt. Pleasant, Charlotte Bouck, and Anne Duddy looked out and did the same. Curious, I walked over to the building and there I read The Violet Lane Reducing School. Then an emblem of my schooldays loomed before me, but much changed. Cld N. F. H. S. now had eight stories, nine elevators, escalators, and the honor system. Principal Norman Truesdale was sleeping in the office where the language head, Iaynette Pierzchala, was conferring with fContinued on page 51 U03 THE NIAGARIAN NINETEEN THIHIY-ONE . GLASS PROPHECY-Continued teachers, Mary Pellicano and Joe Mazza, on how to pass Jennings Eck in French. I could see Elliot Nablo sweeping ice cream papers and gum before him down the hall. The scene shifted and I saw a familiar' face appear upon a billboard. I read at one side, E, Kendrick Newton for Woman's Republican Leader. I turned and walked down the street, glancing about me. I saw Kenny Rowe standing before the K. J. R. Delicatessen Shop and Fishing Tackle Store. The City Hall loomed before me and I found myself looking into some books. In the volume marked Marriage , I found a few of my old classmates had entered in sacred matrimony. They were Dorothy Masterman and Curtice Dent, Allegra MacBain and Emery Dick, Esther Knowles and Joe Bowers, Bertha Good' son and Martin Klettke, Ann Sheehan had divorced Tommy Shields. In another volume, marked Vocations , I found W. J. Phillips, hot dogs, wholesale, Mike Dyer, specialist, Esther Elderiield, interior decorating, Max Carl, paper and rags, S. Bongiovanni, poems while you wait, Annourf ine Bishara, editor of Ladies' Fashion Magazine , Mark Binkley, fancy cowslips, Jaynette Biehl, Win Neubauer, and Mandanna Peterson, nurses, Annie MacKenzie, statistician, Chet MacFarland, dog catcher, Marcus Mueller, conductor Strand Symphony, Francis Skimin, editor Niagara Falls Gazette, Howard Smith, live, fresh grasshoppers for trout fishing, Neal Soluri, gasoline, oil, and bologna, Frank Warner, manufacturing do daddles for do hickies, Lois Timm, prima donna. I walked out of the building and bought a paper from Bill Laughton. In the amusement sec' tion I saw where John Lewis, Gertrude Lansing, Eileen Goss, and Florence Hirschowitz were all starring in the stage production Bugs-and How! on Broadway. Among the ads I saw J. Kramer selling bottled water from the Falls brink, guaranteed to grow hair, remove freckles, and clean stoves. Paul Hoyer, mattress stufling defluxe. On the front page I read that Gilbert Godfrey had won the peanut pushing contest down Main Street with Paul Earle a close second. Ruth Huntley had shot Larry Hutt in a triangular case with Johnny Friend. John Spaula and Eddy Sowinski had struck oil in Oklahoma and were buying up a motorcycle factory. Monica Nash's and Anna May Baker's night club, Tiger Rag , had been raided and closed. Among the principals taken were Ruth Judson, Wood' row Smith, Ruth Garwood with husband Walter Thompson, Ernie Schuf stick and Vincent Maiella. Kathryn Hall, cigarette girl, had tipped off the co s. Siiddenly all went black. I seemed to be rushing backwards and up' wards through space. It grew gray, then lighter and lighter. I snapped into the world of reality with a jerk. I found my old Kashmiri standing over what was left of the globe, a stake in his hand, a snarl of rage on his lips. Go! he cried. I then wondered what further would have been revealed had I remained longer before the crystal globe. GEORGE TUTTLE, JR., Glass Prophet. I '51 l THE NIAGARIAN NINETEEN mimi-oNr Class Will CLASS 1931 E, the graduating class of nineteen hundred and thirtyfone of the Niagara Falls High School, situated in city of Niagara Falls, County of Niagara, State of New York, and in the United States of America, having fulfilled all regents requirements of said state, New York, and of the Board of Education of said city Niagara Falls, do here in presence of witnesses make this the last will and testament of the graduatf ing class of the Niagara Falls High School. In this last testament we be' queath to those, and only to those that are mentioned in the articles given below as on our part of the first part, and their part of the second part. ARTICLE I To the Junior Class, may they try hard to tread in the footsteps of the class of 1931 that have been made only through honest effort and hard work, and to them we feel that we must pass the fruit of this hard labor for which they should not claim the honor. We give to them the exclusive right to occupy our seats on the west side of the assembly, the places in the cafeteria, where we hope they will enjoy the split peas and bacon as we did, and the stand in front of 25 'S that we have held so prominently for the last year. The class of 1932 is also given the right to sign their own report cards, to write their own excuses, and to cheer with their lusty voices the fighting teams of Niagara. We also give to them our great love for Latin, our unusual ability for higher Mathematics, our eager desire to learn History, and our unquenched thirst for English. ARTICLE 2 To the class of 193 3, we have many small items to bequeath. We feel as though they have not as yet reached the age and mentality that the pupils of this great institution of higher learning should have attained, but during their four or ive years to stay here they should come somewhere near the mark in education that we, the class of 1931 have reached in our three years at the Niagara Falls High School. Knowing all this to be true we feel we can not bequeath anything of importance to them. Therefore, to the sophomore class we bequeath the right as a body to play pingfpong and drop the handkerchief in the gym, under the directorship of Coach Szczerbacki. In order that they may feel refreshed from this fatigue, they may sleep one period per day. We, the class of 1931, in accordance with the laws set forth in the Constitution of the Niagara Falls High School, grant that the class of 1933 shall remove their bodies from the balcony and sit on the east side of the assembly. We give them the privilege of going to the library once a day to read the manuscripts of Edmund Burke so that they may be prepared for his works during their fourth year English. They are also given the right as Juniors to have a steady girl friend, which privilege we hope they will enjoy. We deprive them U21 THE NIAGARIAN NINETEEN THlHIY'ONE , ' of the privilege of taking wild west stories, gum and candy into Senorita Miller's study halls. ARTICLE 3 To the teachers of N. F. H. S., we bequeath everything in our power to make their future students as industrious as we were in our classes. We also bequeath unto them joy and happiness to the nth degree. ARTICLE 4 We bequeath to Mr. Strough, principal of Niagara Falls High School, the love, respect and honor of this graduating class which is so rightfully due him for all his help and cooperation. ARTICLE 5 , To Mr. Bedford, our beloved faculty adviser, we leave the gratif fying thought in his mind that Without his guidance and cooperation the class of 1931 would not have been so successful and prosperous. ARTICLE 6 We make the following special bequestsz: 1. To Donald Welch, we leave Don Gallahue's ability as senior year book editor. 2. To Miss McCarty, we leave the hope that she will have the same kind of a journalism class in 1932 as she did in 1931. 3, To Tod Norton, we leave a remembrance of Norman Truesdale's studiousness. 4. To all football and basketball players, Richard MacDona1d's abil' ity in both of these sports. 5' . To the student who sits in 25 5, middle row, seventh seat, We leave the wad of gum under the desk. If you, the students of Niagara, appropriate and make use of these bequests we are sure that the prestige, honor and fame of old N.E.H.S. will live on forever. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I hereby subscribe my name, representing the class of nineteen hundred thirtyfone, on this twentyfsecond day of June in the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and thirtyfone. ELMER WOOLCUTT, Testator. We, whose names are hereto subscribed, DO CERTIEY that on the twentyfsecond day of June, 1931, the testator above named, subscribed his name to this instrument in our presence and in the presence of each of us, and at the same time and in our presence and hearing declared to the last same will and testament, of the class of 1931, and have requested all and each of us to sign our names hereunto as witnesses to the execution of the above last will and testament of the class of 1931. We hereunto sign our names. NORMAN TRUESDALE, President Class '31. MARK R. BEDFORD, Class Adviser '31, LYNDON H. STROUGH, Principal of N.E.H.S.

Going through an 18 game season, and suffering one defeat was the excellent record that Captain Murphy's quintet set. Kenmore, Lockport, Batavia, Tonawanda, North Tonawanda, Jamestown and Lackawanna were a few of Niagara's victims. Winning of the R. P. I. League Cup was the big factor of the season. Kenmore, who won the cup last season, bid highly this year for it, but were unsuccessful in their try. Kenmore, as usual, was the big rival of the season, but Niagara defeated them two out of three games to prove the Red and Gray superiority. Kenmore, in its iirst Niagara game, was successful in defeating the Red and Gray quintet, 11-161 'I' he return game, played on Niagara's court, proved victorious to the Red and Gray boys, who romped away with a 24f14 score. With one loss each, Kenmore and Niagara were tied for first place, which necessitated a third game play off. This game was played on the Bennett High court of Buifalo where Murphy and his boys showed they were superior in defeating Kenmore by a score of 20-11 and taking possession of the R. P. I. League Cup. Due credit is given to Captain Andrew Murphy, Richard MacDonald, Kenneth Rowe, Joe Cleary, Albert Stoneham and Coach B. N. Parsons for' their work this season in winning this cup, which brought honor to them as well' as to Niagara. To them the season was not an easy one, for all the six teams in the league were. sending their best men against Niagara to win, but the Power City team was the strongest in the league and took no chances of a defeat. Winning of the cup automatically sent Niagara to the sectional meet, but by a decision of the Athletic Council, the basketball team could not enter. i301 K z 1 THE NIAGARIAN , Q1 NINETEEN Tram-oNE 'IIV V Captain Coach Manager St. Mary's f f N.

E f the Niagara Falls High School Football team suffered greatly by losing W five of its nine games, scheduledifor the 1930 season, which lacked the guidance of Coach Szczerbacki during the games because of Regulation Rule No. 1 and was unable to beat any of the stronger teams on the schedule. High eligibility rules were other big factors that greatly held back the team. The summary of the games are as follows: Niagara 6, Lackawanna 20 Playing their first game of the season, the Niagara Falls High School football team met with a 20 to 6 defeat at the hands of Lackawanna. Both teams played straight football, but Lackawanna, taking advantage of the breaks of the game, out' played the Niagara eleven. Niagara 18, Batavia 8 Displaying a better brand of football than in the Lackawanna game, Niagara defeated the Batavia squad by the score of 18 to 8. The team regained part of the pep that it had lost in the previous game and came back with a burst of speed, punch and passing attack. 4 t Niagara 14, Medina O Using the second and third teams for all but five minutes of the game, the Niagara Falls football team defeated Medina by the score of 14 to 0. Niagara 6, Tonawanda 0 Playing hard football, the Niagara Falls eleven defeated the Tonawanda eleven by the score of 6 to O. The two teams were evenly matched throughout the game, and it was not until the last minute of the fourth quarter that the Niagara team scored the only touchdown. Niagara O, North Tonawanda 27 Showing the most fight that it had all season, the team was defeated by a 27f0 score by Dowdfmen of North Tonawanda. The Red and Gray team fought hard but could not break through the strong Lumber City team's defense. Niagara 0, Jamestown 7 With five regulars unable to be in the starting lineup, the Niagara Falls High School football team suffered its third defeat of the season to Jamestown by the score of 7 to O. - tail X! ,,,f - ' XFX THE NIAGARIAN NINETEEN Tl'llfil'Y'ONE V'A' ' W V Niagara O, Erie East 33 Journeying to Erie to play the Erie East eleven, the Power City team was handed a 33 to O defeat. The squad was outclassed by a more experienced Erie team which the Niagara eleven could not keep back. Niagara O, Dunkirk 33 Travelling to Dunkirk, Niagara received its fifth defeat in a row by the score of 33 to O. A lateral passing attack which spelled defeat, took the Szczerbacki men by surprise. This game dedicated the new football field at Dunkirk. Niagara 25, Lockport 0 U Winding up the season against their traditional rivals, the Niagara Falls footf ball team administered a 25 to O defeat to McCabe's Lockport eleven. Though battered and beaten by North Tonawanda, Erie, Lackawanna, Jamestown and Dun' kirk, Szczerbackfs men came back to display a good brand of football. All the men of the Red and Gray eleven played their best game. Football Summary, 1930 Captain - Richard MacDonald Coach - f Thomas Szczerbacki Asst.

Bennett High School of Buffalo defeated the Red and Gray team 4? ' twice. At the close of the season all pool records, with the exception of Carrigan's 100fyard breast stroke, had been broken by Bennett and Niagara swimmers. Van Orman of Niagara made a new 4Ofyard free style record by clocking off the course in 191f5 seconds. The team had no chance to show its power at sectional and state meets because of the new rule set by the athletic council that no team could enter either state or sectional meets. In the first meet of the season, Hutchinson of Buffalo was set back in a close meet by a 37Mf31M score. Lafayette proved to be an easy contender for the Red and Gray mermen who had little trouble taking a 36-23 win. In its third meet, Niagara displayed great speed and form, but was forced to capitulate to the strong Bennett team of Buffalo by the score of 3881. ' ' Niagara swamped an easy Masten Park team by a 4940 score, taking every first and second place except one in this meet. In the next three meets with Tonawanda, Kenmore, and Lafayette the Niagara mermen proved superior by defeating all three by a 4445, 35f24, and 41f28 score respectively. In the return meet with Bennett of Buffalo, Niagara nearly proved the better when her swimmers forced the Bennett swimmers to break five pool records and take the meet by a close score of 31128. At no time during their season did Bennett have to exert such effort to keep their schedule clean of defeats. The return meet of Tonawanda and Kenmore proved to be victories for Niagara by the respective scores of 42f27 and 40f29.

Many important things were accomplished but the outstanding events are briefly outlined in the follow' ing paragraphs. HE school council of 1931 completed a successful year under the Cn Cctober 8, a suggestion was brought up that a design for a. school flag be adopted, and that the flag, when procured, be placed in the audito' rium. The matter was thoroughly discussed, and plans were made for conf ducting a contest in order to obtain such a design. On November 22nd, the rules were completed, and the contest was opened. The closing day, Def cember 17th, brought in many designs, all of which were so good that it was very difficult for the judges to pick the winner. However, they Hnally decided on the design submitted by Norman Truesdale as first, and the design of John Bucato as second. Cn Cctober 22, the council took up the problem of putting out a school handbook. All the representatives promised their utmost endeavors to make it a big success. Chairmen were appointed for the different divif sions of the book, and many students offered their services to the various committees. The book is expected to be ready for the incoming students next September. - Cn December 3, the council realizing the great need of the poor of our community in the approaching Christmas season, decided that they would do all they could in spreading Christmas cheer to the needy. The appeal of the student body received a generous response and many homes were bright' ened through the student effort. A committee sent to 76 leading colleges to obtain their latest catalogues for our library. The committee also asked the colleges to keep N. F. H. S. on their yearly mailing lists, so that there will always be an up to date col' lection in the library. - April 22, the council undertook another civic enterprise in conducting a student canvass for the community chest. The student body again dis' played its spirit of cooperation and the campaign was put over successfully. 1951 I I'VV,,..f '4 I ffsx :XXX THE NIAGARIAN NINETEEN THIRIY-ONE K WA , v-I.f' ' OFFICERS OF THE SCHOOL COUNCIL GERTRUDE LANSING ff-f'f President DONALD WELCH - f Vice-President JACK LAUGHTON f f f 1 Secretary NORMAN TRUESDALE f f f f Treasurer I96I .1 ' THE NIAGARIAN NINETEEN THIHTY-oNE , 4 I , . . .

On December 15, 1930, the annual Christmas party was given. The members of the club visited the telephone company on the second of March.. Two weeks later several members were admitted at the second annual initiation of the Forum. The last meeting of March was in the form of a visit to the Niagara Falls Power Company.

Rae Wright took the part of the young 17fyearfold, very well. Brenda Bearce played the mother and Frieda Kramer and Donald Welch, the two lovers about to get married. The production was a success. Two other plays were presented in assembly, The Pie in the Oven was a Scotch comedy in the Scotch dialect and overflowing with Scotch humor. The annual Christmas play under the title of the Lost Children was presented the Friday preceding the Christmas vacation. This play possessed an interesting plot and featured the newly joined members of the society. The Dramatic Society increased its membership from the usual 75 to 100, supplying new and more talent.

The season opened with two Friday after' noon dances, which were well attended. They seemed to be enjoyed by everyone, consequently more dances followed. The WhofDo Dance was the first evening dance of the year. Conf trary to previous Hallowe'en dances this was not a costume dance. One of the principal features of the evening was Freddie Large's orchestra, which was extremely popular at that time. This dance was one of the greatest sue' cesses in the history of the Social Committee, due to the large crowd, and to the elaborate decorations. Shortly afterward election of new members took place. Out of thirtyffive suckers seven were successful. About this time a Bargain Dance was held one afternoon. Stags were charged ten cents, and couples one penny. The second evening dance, being a Valentine's Day Dance was called The Valentine Valse . Appropriate decorations, such as hearts and large valentines, covered the walls of the gymnasium.

Membership has doubled, and much enthusiasm has been shown at the meetings. Many interesting discussions have been car' ried on during these gatherings, with enlightening results for all attendant members. Graduation in 1930 withdrew all charter members from the society, with the exception of two, Donald Welch and Bernard Levy. The mem' bership list for the past school year includes the following: Paul' Earle, George Tuttle, Bernard Levy, Donald Welch, Thomas Tuttle, Hubert Noonan, George Jacob, John Spula, David Perman, Richard Wiggall, Jack Gcllman, Rae Wright, and Mario Di Gregorio. The last named was an honorary member. Henry Johnson belonged to the society during the Hrst term. Mr. Mark R. Bedford, critic of the club, submitted an interesting and enlightening critic's report at meetings of the Forensic Society. Thomas Tuttle, chairman of the program committee, fulfilled his duties very satis' factorily, providing some of the most interesting and lively meetings in the memory of the oldest members of the society.

Had they complied l EFT . i t--V - with the above to the letter, so successful a season would not have been completed in the field of forensic art. Even though no interfscholastic debates were participated in during the first semester the victorious second semester was of marked significance. The question debated was, Resolved, That the principle of the chain system is detrimental to the best interests of the United States public. Tonawanda and Niagara Falls met in a dual debate April twentyfsecond. Each debate was given as the main feature of the assembly program. The results were as follows: At Tonawanda At Niagara Falls Tonawanda, 0 Tonawanda, O Niagara Falls, 3 Niagara Falls, 3 May twenty'second was another important day for those forensically spirited. On this date the Niagara Falls negative debate team traveled to Jamestown, New York, and met the Jamestown aiiirmative team. Jamestown's negative team journeyed to the Falls and met their opponents. The second scores were as follows: At Jamestown At Niagara Falls Jamestown, 2 Jamestown, 1 Niagara Falls, 1 Niagara Falls, 2 The Niagara Falls team is to be congratulated as this debate was Jamestown's nfth or sixth debate on the question stated above and the second inter-scholastic one on this question for Niagara Falls. In each case the debate with Jamestown was an evening debate. May thirteenth or fourteenth the Niagara Falls forensic boys expected to meet the debate teams of Warren High School, Warren, Pennsylvania. As this material went to press before the above date the results could not be given. The boys get enjoyment as well as valuable training and worthfwhile experience preparing their debates and participating in them. The negative team was captained by Bernard Levy, supported by Jack Gellman, Richard Wiggall and by David Perman, the alternate. The colleagues of Paul S. Earle, the captain of the affirmative, were Thomas R. Tuttle, George Jacob and the alternate, Rae Wright. Much credit is to be given Mr. Mark R. Bedford, faculty adviser, for his untiring efforts and worthfwhile work with the teams. fiom 1244594 NIAGARIAN K NINETEEN THIHTY-ONE A , Q M Q i- 2 . .. 1 I wig. f K1 f' 323:13 . , K ?

The perform' ance was under the general direction of Mr. Scotchmer, assisted by Miss Clement and Mrs. Montgomery. The entire chorus of 100 voices has appeared several times during the year. The Thanksgiving Concert was the first, followed by a program at South Junior, then the appearance in the Niagara Frontier Meet, and last, a program at St. Paul's Methodist Church. This closed a successful year. These concerts were under the direction of Miss Clement. lf113j THE NIAGARIAN NINETEEN THIHTY-ONE The Associated Music Clubs RILDA COURTRIGHT f f President DONALD BLACKMARR Vicefpresident THOMAS FISHER f Secretary HELEN NAPOLECN f f Treasurer The Associated Music Clubs opened the season with a Hallowe'en party, which was attended by all members. Shortly thereafter they assumed the first serious undertaking of the season by sponsoring the Thanksgiving Concert. A new policy was adopted, that of charging only ten cents for admission to the student concerts. A little competition was held in the matter of selling the tickets and in this Lois Timm excelled, selling one hun' dred and forty. The opera Pinafore, given in March, the Spring Concert on the 21st of May and an open air concert by the Band completed the series of student programs. The Niagara Frontier Music Meet was held on May 15 th with bands, orchestras, choruses and glee clubs from nearfby towns joining our groups to play for one another. Thus the Associated Music Clubs nlled another year with many activities well organized and capably carried out. fn-43 , trrr T THE NIAGAIHAN NINETEEN THIRTY-ONE XX rrrrf, , ff' High School Little Symphony This talented group of musicians, which call themselves Little Symphony, have faithfully rendered their services by playing programs at many public dinners, banquets, plays, and Sunday services. Some of these occasions are as follows: The Senior High School plays, State Supervisor's banquet, Christmas Concert, Community Chest dinner, and Y. W. C. A.

With a if well balanced instrumentation and the advanced general ability of the members they were able to perform worthwhile music which had before been impossible for them. This in turn increased the interest of everyone so that a most enjoyable and proiitable year was the result. The orchestra took a prominent part in the annual Thanksgiving Concert, sharing the program with the High School Chorus. A smaller group selected from its members furnished the accompaniment for the opera Pinafore which was presented in March. On May 21st the seventh annual Spring Concert was given with Donald Blackmarr, the orchestra's concert master, as soloist. The program included a Symphony by Haydn and other compositions by Beethoven, Sibelius, Kreisler, and the American, Clarence Cameron White. The Band HE Band made its debut at the football games in the early fall For these occasions the organization was divided into two groups known as the first 4- and second battalion bands The first battalion spent each Tuesdays rehearsal time by drilling outfoffdoors so that they were able not only to march well but also to form letters as they marched on the field. This forming of school letters, not only for our own team, but also for the opposing team, was one of the features of the season. In the spring the band played a program for the assembly and on May 31st gave an open air concert from the steps of the High School. This together with a program played for the Rotary Club at one of their luncheons and an appearance during the Niagara Frontier Music Meet kept all hands busy and gave ample opportunities for displaying their worth. f1l8J CD 'D D4 O UI U E-'I SI!

THE NIAGARIAN gi,g,At!l ?p NINETEEN 'l'I'IIHIY-ONE a XX ,,.- '!'f The Ghost of Niagara Speaks AM only an old fort. I have stood for centuries looking out over the land' scape, watching as the years went by, the changes, the clearing, the departure of the redmen. I have seen a long life full of adventure, the best blood of America has visited my portals, I have watched the years glide by from my early youth to my old age, each one filled with adventure and romance. You, who come today to visit me, cannot visualize the days I have seen, nor can you hear the things I have heard or realize my experiences. I have looked out over the serene lake to the expansive forests on the other side. I have seen th'e opposite bank gradually cleared and strange boats break the water which shall ever bathe my feet. I have seen and heard love, romance under my old walls. On my smooth roof, gallzmts and ladies of days gone by have danced to the dainty waltzes under the soft, hazy moon. All my days, however, have not been serene and quiet. Often my enclosures have been filled with excitement and tumult. Young men, who usually spent their evenings making love under my shadows, crouched paleflipped and silent, and as the giant shells cracked against my sides, their fingers tightened on their guns and their pallid faces showed a determined will to ight and win! I am only a relic of past ages but I can tell tales of wonder, my crumbling walls were built by the strength and blood of men whose names are emblazoned on the ageless records of time. As I look back on that eventful autumn day of 1669, two and onefhalf centuries ago, I seem to see again the queer boat carrying three paleffaced men toward me. I was a giant oak then, I stood in that primeval forest where none but the Indians wandered. It was a small happening, that arrival of the white men, but it altered every phase of the history of this continent. The white men, Cavelier de La Salle and the two blackfrobed Hgures who accompanied him, conferred with the great chief and planted the Fleur de Lis banner of France in the sod. The next day, clearing was begun, trees were chopped down and flattened into boards. I was not selected, so I stood erect, watching the strange happenings and envying my fellows who had been taken to make the structure. The Indians brought their furs and skins to the white encampment and received in return, bright trinkets of beads and cloth to decorate their vain bodies. After the winter had passed, LaSalle and his companions moved on, leaving behind them the first European quarters ever built at Niagara. These rough quarters were soon afterwards destroyed by the Senecas so that the Niagara Frontier was again in the possession of the Indian. For ten years more we looked over the peaceful landscape unchanged by the new civilization. Then, in 1679, LaSalle again approached the waters of Niagara and again established an Indian trading post in the burned over clearing. This time, however, the French set up a real fortification which was called Fort Conti and over whichilew a banner of the lilies of France. It was at this time that LaSalle built his fateful ship, the fizzj ' !r',,, if YYYYV5 I THE NIAGARIAN NlNETEEN 'l'HlRTY'ONE Griffon, on the banks of the upper river, which sailed out, loaded with furs, never to return. As time went on, more and more changes took place in the land of my birth, the whites gained more and more power, and the Indians, spurred on by the unfair dealings imposed upon them by the whites, became even more wary and revengeful. As settlements grew in America, hatred between English and French became greater and greater and each side employed the practice of invoking the wrath of the Indians against the enemy settlements. So it was, that the English, jealous of the French position on the mouth of the Niagara, instigated an Indian attack which resulted in the conflagration of Fort Conti. Once more we of the forest were left to our musings and dreamings and to the whispering of fanciful tales when the wind blew, which had been told and retold from time immemorial. At length our interest was taken up with another matter, for a new French party came to the clearing, and after defeating the Senecas for the third time, built a fortress at Niagara. This was called Fort De Nonville. Once more, my brothers and I wondered if our strong trunks would go into the makeup of that structure, but again we were left standing. This time, the Indians did not show the interest in the proceedings which they had before, instead they crawled, to hide in the deep foliage, and uttered baneful declamations against the white men. The French had destroyed their peace, and the redmen, aided and abetted by the British, plotted hairfraising attacks. Although Fort De Nonville itself was shortflived, its brief history tells one of the most tragic, hair stirring stories of this continent. When the fort was finished De Nonville moved on, leaving 100 men in charge of the encampment and promising to send a supply ship to the garrison with winter food. The handful of men smiled bravely on their departing comrades, little knowing the horrible fate in store for them. The Indians, made hostile by the ravaging of their property by De Nonville, cunningly surrounded them so that they could not go out for food. Supplies ran low, and the provision ship failed to appear. Finallyiit came and the men hailed its coming. It was not until the ship had sailed out of sight, however, that they found that the food was spoiled and unfit for eating. Think of the horror, a whole winter stretching ahead, no fire, or food it to eat, the Indians hostile and wild beasts on every side. Surely such a predicament would cause the stoutest heart to fail, but these brave, redfblooded men stood faithfully at their posts until they dropped over from weakness. Scurvy set in and the courageous little band slowly diminished until but twelve were left, whom the Miami Indians rescued. Father Millet, of the Jesuit order, erected a wooden cross in thankful commemoration of the rescue. From the courage and the blood of such, the citizenry of America is now composed. The Indians demanded the destruction of Fort De Nonville, so reluctantly the commander ordered the ramparts to be torn down, and the Frenchmen abandoned the shore. For thirty years, no white' man's fort broke the shoreline, although both English and French watched the territory jealously. Then at last, Joncaire, through his pleasing personality, established friendly relations between the Seneca's and France fContinued on page 124j Y fizzl THE DHALLABLADI ig gggig DHNEIEEN'IHMUlLONE x xx A Y I, and obtained his request to build himself a dwelling on the site of Fort De Nonville. A few years later, in 1725, a French engineer erected a larger building which even today is called the Castle. Into this structure my straight trunk was placed, and now for over two centuries I have been supporting the rafters of Fort Niagara. The luck of the French was changed. The Indians no longer burned down their buildings or slaughtered their settlers. Little by little the fort was added to, guns set in and magazine storages erected until the fort became almost impregnable. Although my growth was stopped, I lived on in the spirit, not of a tree but of the fort and I learned to love the brave men who guarded my guns. The good luck of the French was shortflived, however, for the long trouble brewing between England and France at last broke forth in what is termed the French and Indian War. Finally, after severe losses, the Continental army took Fort Niagara from the French and thus the British gained the most strategic point on the whole American continent. Witli the surrender of Niagara, Montcalm's heart broke and Quebec fell soon after. Although the British held the fort, it was not the British regulars who had taken it, but American men who were sneered at by the red coats but who knew the Indians' methods of lighting and who had the undefeatable capacity of doing or dying. So, another banner was flung over my roof, and another people guarded my guns. After the surrender of the French, Sir William Johnston took over the command of the fort. His influence spread far and wide and until the War of the Revolution, he was the most important igure of the continental history. The Fort at Niagara was only remotely connected with the Revolutiong parties started out from here to massacre settlements, unguarded. When the colonies became independent, however, Great Britain refused for some time to give up Niagara. Finally in 1796, over 13 years after the independence, Britain evacuated and Old Glory flew triumphant over the ramparts. A The next great event in my history was the War of 1812. I cant clearly remember those bloody days, the resounding of the cannon and the terrific crash of the cannon balls against my sides. Ah, then little was thought of except safety, and every time the huge muskets crashed I trembled. On October 13, General Brock bombarded the Fort. Although he himself was killed hostilities were renewed on November 21 and Fort George kept up an all day bombardment. On May 27, 1813, Fort Niagara Bred on Fort George. While the fighting was going on, General Scott and his men, headed by General McClure, burned all the surrounding villages. This act called for revenge. McClure was a coward. On hearing of the approaching British he moved his encampment to Fort Niagara and he himself went to Buffalo. When the British returned, the guns of Fort George were turned on Niagara and after terrific slaughter captured it. The British devastated the whole Niagara Frontier and the- Indians massacred the inhabitants. Today, bodies, without arms, or heads, and with broken bones have been unearthed. The British held the Fort till the close of the war. Today, it seems as if my duty as a fort is ended. Men have grown more fond of peace than of bloodshed and have found friendship more satisfactory than war. However, I am being restored to my original condition when the French held sway. As I have said, I can tell tales of wonder, I can recite how prisoners passed away the long hours carving their names on my walls and how Indians crept about seeking those to destroy. But now, I am fast falling into decay, so the patriotic citizens have undertaken to restore me as a landmark of American freedom. Money has been appropriated and soon I shall be renewed, a memorial to the hard battles which brought peace and an everlasting monument to the peace which shall last forever.

My conscience prevents me from turning it down. Mathematics is not my strong point. It is with difliculty that two and two can be added successfully to obtain four. Yet even within this limited scope for iiguring, the conclusion, and not an erroneous one, has been reached that fifty percent of my remarks has been cut. The grounds for so doing are excellent. At the end of two years of endeavoring to learn the said reasons, a faint glimmer of light has come. The following as subjects of discourse are taboo: QOne should look, observe, but never touch. Museum piecesj Golf, practise teachers, teachers in general, drunken brawls, atheism, wornen's legs, and love. None of these are especially interesting, with the exception of golf. Yet the very mention of them causes the censor's pencil to go streaking back and forth across the page. The above subjects strike me as perfectly harmless and rather dull. Whence the' objections? We'll check it off as one of the eternal mysteries. Ik ek Pk PF ak Material power always seemed to be the strongest force in the world. It is, materially. However, something much easier to give and to acquire, something seemingly insignificant has more of an influence.. It can avert anger, disaster, or ruin of morale. It can squelch one's pessimism and lighten almost any sorrow. fSounds like Kathleen Norris., A smile. fDo I win?J There are so few genuine, so very few attractive smiles, that when one sees a lad with abroad and cheerful grin spread over his face, it warms the cockles of one's heart. Smiling is an art. It is a saving grace. But there are only two classes of people who demonstrate ability to smile and smile well. One is models for magazine and bill board advertisements. The other I fear, is idiots. Of course, one sees an occasional graduate with a facetious expression. This is a form of idiocy. Who willingly sacrifices a seat on which it is permissible to sleep for a haunting realization that now comes the dreaded moment when one is required to get a job? Sf PK Pk SK wk It is is frequently inadvisable to analyze. The illusionary charm is spoiled when cold reality stares one in the face. Most of us, when we stand, as the too touching paraphrasing goes, at the doorway of life with high ideals and golden hopes, really wonder: What have four GJ years in high school given us? Add up your knowledge gained, your successes, and disappointments. Mine totals: an asthetic enjoyment of leisure, a heartfelt appreciation of Guy Lombardo, a passion for Alice in Wonder' land , an intensive desire to wreck chemistry laboratories, to say nothing of a feeling of guilty apprehension whenever a wall buzzer buzzes. Consolation for the last is that I have plenty of good companions who share it with me. QContinued on Page 1261 Lizsl THE NIAGABIAN Lkqritil fl NINETEEN 'IHIRTY-ONE A desire to discover a true definition of art has held the world for years. A prize winning one claims that Art is where you ind it, what you will, and as you like it. It is all a matter of taste. This appeals because it is broad and comforting to one who nowfandfthen has a vague suspicion that he knows nothing of art. At the same time, and paradoxically, it is too abstract. But evidently it is generally accepted as being true. When one views the fat, complacent madonnas of the century and the cubical and horrifying paintings of such delightful vaeuity as Monic Form of Tao Philosophy, fmeaning plus nothing, my dears, either to you nor anyone else. So don't feel badlyj one wonders whether either of these is a truly harmonious conception of beauty, virtue, character, and majesty. If so, it is obscure. H4 Pk 34 Bk ik And then we have this infernally odious problem of graduating gifts. Not for a woman. Who cares about presenting a gift to a sister cat? You only get it back again! What to give a man? As one woman with seven brothers to the world, at large, you're made if you give him anything but a tie, fountain pen, wallet, handker- chiefs, scarf, belt, studs, shaving kit, and books. That leaves a broad margin of a golf bag or a case of beer, or perhaps a world globe to set upon his desk, collect dirt, and solve what to do with long winter evenings. P14 214 214 PF Ik My abhorrence of trite philosophers has been slightly increased. Being at the stage fwhich, H. L. Mencken claims, everyone but a positive fool passes thruj where optimism is a big laugh to wound an aesthetic ear and where a personal conviction that my poetry is far more materially gruesome than Sandburg's ever could be, the halef fellow or the gentle soothing relative reminds me of nothing more or less than Edgar Guest or Dorothy Dix. Sloppy philosophy, remarked a not-sofdumb sophomore, is a form of billiousnessf' In all cases contemplation of the hard facts is not pleasant, but it is highly satisfactory in that one is not always oozing thru a veil of sentimentality. Sk wk Pls 214 Ik Peace, after a week of Dante's Inferno, reigns once more. A little swollen with pride, the lads and lassies go about taking long, deep breaths and commenting on the vigorous charms of past high school days. This is so much soft soap, but, if it pleases them, why bother? At any rate, they are in their best Pippa Passes Mood. Here's hoping this condition of abnormalcy disappears before long. It must be extremely irritating to the family falso swollenj -friends. Not that Johnny doesn't deserve a big break for passing those hateful regents.
