The many activities and functions carried out in its class-rooms throughout the year assure that 1940 will long be remembered as an outstanding school season. The seniors who entered its portals three long years ago have been essentially responsible for the glorious cul- mination of an unprecedented decade at Niagara. THE H C3093 I HH PUBLISHED BY SENIORS NIAGARA FALLS, NEW' YORK OF NIAGARA FALLS HIGH SCHOOL I June 1940 THE NIAGARIAN Page 7 F ORE WORD We view the swirling tide of world affairs through the medium of our daily newspapers. War, politics, sports, crime, human interestg all are captured in words and pictures, by a worlcl-wicle network of news-gathering agencies, seeking to satisfy every interest of the general public. This year the Niagarian has sought to mirror the hap- penings of Niagara Falls High School life in a similar manner with the least possible refraction. Following closely the meth- ods and layout of a newspaper, the staff has published a record of the I939-40 school year, seeking to include, in addition to information and statistics, something of the atmosphere of Niagara. From class-room and corridor, gridiron and gym, campus and cafeteria, the staff has sought to catch a repre- sentative view of Niagara and preserve it for the future in im- mutable copy and snapshots. This book's value, we feel sure, will grow immeasurably, in the coming years, when the roads that were opened to Niag- ara students upon graduation have led them apart and school life has become hazy with the cobwebs of time. ll Page 8 THE NIAGARIAN June 1940 DEDICA TI ON ' ln keeping with our theme, we respectfully dedicate the 1940 Niagarian to those alert and industrious graduates who have worked their ways into a position of success in the field of journalism, using Niagara Falls High School as their spring- board. Throughout the country, on huge metropolitan papers, on struggling country weeklies, on publications in our own locality, Niagara has sent out men and women who have proudly and vigilantly upheld the great trust for which they are responsible to the public. Their careers have been and will continue to be a great tribute to their Alma Mater. Niagara owes them a great debtg to Niagara, they are continually repaying their own.

At long last we are Seniors! Alkpr two yqrs of trials and struggles as underclassmen, we havfe finally attained the ex- gf alted honors of being hailed as real seniors. But those years were ones filled with joys, and with achievements as well. When first we entered as sophomores, way back 1 '38, we were not quite so bewildered or timid as the seni rs wholdfj have lik to believe. We were different. Do. you remember then ln '39 we enrolled as Juniors? that was our year to shine. How happy we were at election Qflrne, four we were the flrft Junior class in many years, to fd elect class officers.

Robert Jensen, and William Edwards, Mrs. Tfiiele, Drama Direc- for, Coaches Production Niagara Falls, N. Y., June, 1940, CNFJ -In an atmosphere of greasepaint and cold cream, accompanied by the natural backstage confusion, the Junior Class embarked on its first venture of the year by sponsoring Frederick Jacksons entertaining three-act comedy, The Bishop Misbehavesf' The play, ably enacted by members of the Dramatic Club, was presented in the school audi- torium to an unusually large and ap- preciative audience on November 10 under the competent direction of the school dramatic instructor, Mrs. Helen Hill Thiele. Actors Show Talent With William Edwards in the title role, the comedy portrayed adventures of the staid, old Bishop and his sis- ter, Lady Emily Lyons, played by Betty Jenks. The Bishop's secret inclination to detective work unexpectedly involves him in the solution of the theft of Mr. and Mrs. Waller's iMaurice Zubkoff and Marjorie Rotundol valuable pearls. The bungling tactics of Red Eagen, fBernard DiPlacidol Collins, Wincent DelBroccoJ and Frenchy, fEdmund Rlceb who were hired to perform the underhanded work for Donald Meadows CArthur Boucher? and Hester Gran- thom CGretchen Heyrothb, enlightened the ingenious Bishop and his compan- ion in adventure, his timid butler, Mr. Brooke, KRobert Jensen? as to the solu- tion of the crime. Business organization for the produc- tion was handled by Melvin Berman, the business manager, and his assist- ants, Dorothy Clancy, William Joy, and Edward Fairchild. Technical Department Is Large The technical department consisted of Betty Hunter, property manager, and her assistant, Helen Ashcroft. Cos- tuming was handled by Josephine Ca- sale and Shirley Arzivian with art being under the direction of Elizabeth Nev- ille. Make-up for the performance was under the direction of Helen Miller. The Stage Crew members were Vincent Colling, Fiorre D'Aloisio, Stephen Jeck- ovich, and Gaylord Cummings aided by Stage Electrician William Rickerson and House Director Betty Walker. The prompters were Annette Davis and Ruth Depew, while Rose Falsetti man- aged the publicity.

Through three fleeting years of joys and sorrows, triumphs and defeats, the bewildered sophomore amaz- ingly evolves himself into a high school graduate, a re- sponsible individual whose acceptance by the general public will be measured in terms of happiness, good-will, and success. , -..- -M . . . ,...-.

Your fine spirit of co- operation and friendship were in- dispensable to me in my capacity and I hope I have served you as well as you have me. It is my sincere Wish that good fortune and success will come to all of you. PATTERSON STOWELL To each Senior, Please accept my thanks for hon- oring me by choosing me your class advisor. As you go forth to face the un- tried future, may you find the paths that Wind so steep and rugged, lighted brighter by the torch I passed to you from millions gone before. May it be said in later years that I have done service that is worth the name because The larnp of knowledge grew a little brighter in the hands I taught? As We separate, each to his or her own field of endeavor, may we feel a common bond of friendship be- cause we honor Him who is the Light of the World. Congratulations. MARK R.

Page 66 THE NIAGARIAN June, 1940 Class ightflddre s This is indeed a night long to be remembered by the class of 1940 of the Niagara Falls High School. For to- night we leave this period of life during which we were known and regarded as school children and become part of that all-important group known as the youth of America. Eagerly we look forward to what the world has to offer us and just as eagerly we consider what we have to offer the world. Our school days have been happy days. The happiest days of your life, we are told by our elders. We can all look back proudly on what we have accomplished so far but as we look back we find errors and shortcomings. We have been looking forward to the time when we would receive our diplomas and working toward that end for many years. Perhaps we thought of om- graduation from high school as a momentous occasion when we would be rewarded for our ef- forts and be prepared to make our way in the world. And now we are just a bit doubtful of what lles ahead for us. We are reminded of other graduating classes that have left the shelter of schools in the last few years and of the obstacles and barriers with which they have had to contend that are peculiar to our own generation. But we believe that by do- ing our very best at whatever we undertake, and by going into our work with undying enthusiasm, we can make the best of our opportunities. There is unlimited opportunity at any time for an honest, hardworking, and conscientious person who will continue to do his job right day after day. Tempered with our optimism ls a fitting sense of modesty which will stand by us well in the future and is almost a necessity to an aspirant to success. True modesty in regard to past accomplishments and future capabilities will be a major factor in determining the degree of success we will at- tain. When tomorrow finds us on our separate ways, whether it be in a trade, a business, an industry or in college, we shall be seekers after knowledge. Let no one make the mistake or be so short-sighted that he thinks for a moment that a high school education insures him against failure. High school graduation is a fine achievement and many of us will never attend a higher institution of learning, but this surely does not mean that our education has been com- pleted. Self-education through books and daily contacts with real life should be an integral part of our being from now on. That part of our education obtained thus far is the easiest party the rest will be far more difficult to acquire without the aid of teachers and advisors. The practical ways of the world will be much harder to understand and cope with than the principles and theories that we have studied ln school, yet we trust we will be able to apply much we have learned. What will we make of our opportunities? If we knew, the adventure of life would be robbed of its fascination. We can benefit greatly by the experiences of our elders, but no two lives are exactly alike and no doubt we shall meet the trials and situations that will be all our own. But by fair play, brave living, enthusiasm and certainty, I am sure that the class of 1940 will compare well with those that have gone before. Though we may not be close again in body, let the class of 1940 be eternally bound by the bonds of friendship, by memories and by a common worth while goal. Speaking for the class, I should like to extend our deepest appreciation to the administration, to the faculty and to Mr. Bedford, our advisor, for their kindness, patience and invaluable in- struction during our years in Niagara Falls High School. As this is the last time we shall all be together, I shalldtake this time to thank the class for the honor bestowed upon me and for the cooperation they extended to me in my cap- acity as class president. PATTERSON STOWELL Class President June, 1940 THE NIAGARIAN Page 67 Class H istory Perhaps you think the 500 rather straggly appearing adolescents who stood before the portals of Niagara Falls Hlgh School on September 9, 1937 were a bit overawed at the first sight of their alma mater. Needless to say you are correct, but like true soldiers, those 500 individuals were not to be discouraged because of this initial defeat. Showing a genuine scholarly splrlt, they proceeded at the first issuance of the honor roll to chalk up a lead in numbers over their august elders on this preferred list. In spite of the threats and taunts of the upperclassmen concerning the destiny of the Class of '40 on their first 'Wlng-Collar Day, the sophomores weathered that day unscathed, and went ahead all the wiser for the experience. Late ln June the market value of school books went up considerably as the demands on them rose, for the studying sophomores were preparing for the last hurdle of the year's race. On the other side of this regents barrier was the goal of their first year's endeavors, the well earned title of juniors. Despite the loss of a few of their number, who got off on the wrong foot for the last jump, the jubilant juniors were well reinforced ln September '38 by recruits from the high school section of Trott Vocational School. Their second year found them deeply imbedded in the activities of the school, with their former leisure hours taken up by extra-curricular activity. A notable success of the junior play entitled The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife was the product of a good performance by the dramatic club plus cooperation and salesmanshill OU the Dart of its SDODSOTS- In the field of athletics, a goodly number of our '40 cohorts found their positions ln the ranks of the known, making us proud of their varied and noteworthy accomplishments. As June returned again, the second year men found themselves swelling the Rockerfeller millions by burn- ing the midnight oil ln a final attempt to cram an enormous amount of knowledge into their none-to-full minds. El- ther through a shortage of oil, or a shortage in hours, the newly found seniors of the class of 1940 pushed open the doors of Senlordom with considerably fewer, yet notably stronger hands. With an eye to the future and an ear to the ground, and the reminder that Life Beglns at '40, the present senior class built itself a flrm foundation of books for its third year, and hung out a weathered-eye for its goal- graduation. fOr was it a whether-eye, wondering whether or not lt took diplomacy to get a dlploma.J Q On the far flung fields of sport, the Niagara teams, composed mostly of '40 men, hung up new laurels as a tribute to their alma mater. Notable among the victories was the avenging of the defeat of the previous year by the Lockport county seaters on the grldlron. On the basketball floor, Niagara, bolstered up by its senlor men, found lt- self second in the playoffs in Kenmore, bowing only to the five from Lackawanna. The flrst senior meeting of February 23, found the class electing its officers with the ballots showing these re- sultsz President ........ ..... ..... . . . Patterson Stowell Vice President . ..

Now as June closes about us once more, we finish the closlng chapter of our senior history, setting out into a WALLACE KELLER Class Historian world unknown to leave our stamp on history. Page 68 THE NIAGARIAN June, I94Q Class Statistics While the natio'n's census takers have been at work determining the population and obtaining other information essential for a well governed country, I, as class statistician, have been taking a brief census of the fifty-second graduat- ing class of the Niagara Falls High School. Of course I, like most census takers, found some people unwilling to an- swer certain questions: therefore my findings and final' calculations may be in error one or two percent. In the 1940 graduation class there are 521 entries. About 214 of these are boys, therefore, according to the mathematical law of subtraction, the remaining 307 are girls, ladies and other members of the female species. On the average, each of the boys has purchased four pairs of trousers since last September which are valued at five dollars apiece. Therefore the money spent on trousers used to shine classroom, office and detention study hall seats for one year totals S4,280. Each girl has purchased approximately five dresses each since last September. According to some members of the class, they cost upwards from 56, but we will take it for granted that they paid S5 each for them. This 87,675 which is the total amount spent by the girls, plus the 54,280 spent by the boys makes a grand total of S11,955, or enough to build a beautiful home with the desired luxuries twife includedb. Just stop and think, 311,955 with which to buy garments to shine the seats in the classrooms. According to information gathered during my research, the average student uses one package of notebook paper per week. Each package contains fifty sheets. There are forty weeks in the school year. Now multiplying the number of sheets each pupil used during the year by the number of students, we obtain the staggering figure of 1,042,- 000 sheets. If all the sheets were laid end to end We would have a continuous paper strip 247 miles long. The graduates also used about 60,000 pencils last year. These contained enough wood to heat a good sized house for a whole winter. It is estimated that the seniors spent 2,000 hours in detention study hall. If one student could take this time off for a vaca- tion he would have sixty-seven days in which he could enjoy himself. New let us consider a thing we all love to dog that ls, eat. The combined forces of seniors devoured approximately 60,000 pounds or thirty tons of food in the school cafeteria during the last school year. Believe it or not, the girls them- selves consumed twenty-one tons of the total, and they tell me that girls don't like to eat. Sixty-three packs of library permits were used during the 1939-1940 school year. Ninety-two pads of tardy slips were also used in admitting snail pace students to class. Therefore our vice-principal and official tardy slip clerk have done 846,000 foot pounds of Work during the past year. This is the equivalent of a week's work for a piano mover. The senior play, What a Life was rehearsed 18 times. The play itself contained 4,800 lines or 96,000 words. If this were multiplied by the eighteen times it was rehearsed the total would be 1,728,000 words. If spoken by one person, that number of words would take him 36 hours of continuous talking. Now to relate my findings on a question that was one of the ones that many seniors refused to answer. Most parents will be shocked and many refuse to believe it, but it is nevertheless true. Since Congress didn't declare this question too personal, I will present my findings. 10h yes, a word to you seniors. If I appear to be a stool pigeon, remem- ber-I'm only doing my duty as statistician.J From the beginning of last September till the present time, the seniors have driven about 48,000 miles on social occasions alone. A majority of this mileage was acquired by driving up and down the main streets blowing horns and whistling at the feminine element of our city. If the average car gets fifteen miles on a gallon of gas and the price of gas is 18 cents a gallon, it means that over S575 dollars worth of gas was used last year curb cruising. But now I see that my findings are thinning out and my mathematical knowledge is beginning to fail on me. So in closing, I should like to state that I'm glad that we used our paper to good advantage and not for use in drawing mili- tary mapsg that we cruised in automobiles for pleasure and not in airplanes and tanks to kill, and that we spent money on clothes and enjoyable pursuits of our own choice and did I10t give il? to Olll' g0Ve1'I1meI1t to be used to buy weapons with which to kill our fellow men.

As you probably know, we are broadcasting from the press table at the Socialist Party's Convention which is being held this year in the spacious auditorium of the Power City of the World, Niagara Falls, N. Y. This 1960 convention has special significance because there is no party to oppose the Socialist in this presl- dential campaign. National Socialist Chairman John J. Hickey has organized the entire nation so well that all the other parties have been crushed. This convention was called by Hickey merely to choose the man who will be the next president of the United States. '- The meeting was scheduled to start this morning at 10 o'clock but as yet the chairman has not been able to call it to order. Everything around here is at fever pitch, is you can probably tell from the din, and it looks as if the campaign within the party will be more exciting than any previous national election. At this stage of the game, Patterson Stowell seems to have the edge over the other candidates, but Richard Tay- lor, June Barrett, Trowell Copplns, and a dark-horse, Arnold Chinkers, also seem to have many supporters. It isdin- terestlng to note that this is the second time that a women has run for president. The last time was back in '52 when Betty Dale ran on the Consolation Ticket. Her theme song was Sympathy. I was talking to Lois Lambert today, during lunch hour, and learned that she has finally completed her new national anthem which incidentally, will be introduced at the next White House Reception by Anne I-Ieffelfinger, inter- nationally famous soprano. While we're waiting for something to develop, I'll try to supply a little local color and point out some of the notables who are attending the convention. Well, on the platform besides Hickey, who has removed his coat and is pounding a chair on the floor for order, are the candidates: Wallace Keller, a local politician: Dick Adams, one of the labor leaders: Jean Christenson, antim- passloned Socialist agitator: and several small boys, sons of famous men, namely Senator Maurice Zubkoff, crime writer, Elbert Easter, Ambassador Bob Langley, and Chemht Edwin McKeehan, who are engaged in attempting to shove Keller into the crowd. Oh, there's another person on the platform whom I didn't recognize. It's Hickey's personal sec- retary, Jeanne Daggett, who's been in his service for a long time. There goes Keller: nice work boys! S0 ml-1611 for the big Sh0iGS3 DOW we'11see Wh0 else is here. There's Elsie Evans, president of Mary Morrison Women's College: Dorothy Delghton, soprano with the Metropolitan Opera: Bob Doty, noted athlete: William Sdao, noted educator and lecturer: Ann O'Brien, recent screen sensation: and Frank Kress, star hurler for the Cleveland Indians. Just a moment, folks, something is happening On the speakers' platform! Hickey has finally managed, after eleven hours and thirty-one minutes of heroic effort, to get a semblance of order. He is going to speak but, unfortun- ately, his voice carmot be heard over the air due to the fact that our booth is glass-enclosed and we have no extension mike. Apparently I-Iickey's message is very important because the crowd is straining forward to catch every word. A PCPSOH 11159 Stfailled too 119-fd OVBI' to my right. and Slip ped off her chair. It was Leone Dardarian, a newspaper woman, by the way, but she's all right, I guess, because Mary Kennedy and Betty Brown, with whom she is sitting, have not attempted to help her. It is really quite interesting just to sit here and study the various expressions. Harry Atamian, for instance, has assumed a position much like that of The Thinker, while James Paduano is staring blankly into space. On my left at the press table sits Richard Hollinger, demon reporter for the New York News, who is wearing out his two fore- fingers on a typewriter, while getting a word-by-word account of this apparently epic speech. Hickey has stopped talking now, and the room is in an uproar, as you can probably hear. You see, crowd sounds may enter this booth, Whereas H Single voice is not strong enough to penetrate lt. Evidently Hickey has made some astounding statements, because many persons are gestlculating wildly at their neighbors, and then in the direction of the platform. Say, this seems to be too important to miss, if you'll stand by for just a moment, I'll ask Richie just what the chairman said. Hey, Rich! What's all the fuss about? No election? Hickey plans to establish himself as dictator? Wowl Wait till the radio audience hears this! Ladies and gentlemen, I have just obtained information concerning Hickey's speech. The gist of the speech was that Hickey will have no election of a new president, but will set himself up as dictator. This ls indeed astounding news, and it is unfortunate that time will not permit us to remain here on the scene of battle to bring you a detailed account of what occurs from this point on. Just a moment please . . . a messenger boy has just arrived with a message for me from the broadcasting company and we are not going off the air after all, folks. The Natural Broadcasting Company feels that it is its duty to keep the nation well informed on any situation June, 1940 THE NIAGARIAN Page 71 as momentous as this, and is sending a technician with extra equipment, along with my old side-kick, Dave Nelson of the special features department, who will act as my contact man, helping to keep me in touch with the most import- ant events as they occur. Until Dave and the technician arrive, we might as well spend time in scanning the people who are here on this night which may prove to be the most memorable in American History. Let's look at the platform for a moment. Hickey is sitting there, stolidly ignoring the uproar and confusion. The former candidates are huddled in a group and appear to be chattering at a great rate. Apparently Keller has not been able to regain the platform as yet. Looking back to the audience, we can see Elliot Traub perched upon a chair making a very emphatic speech. He is being hauled down from his lofty position by Ty Bishop and carried to the door by many willing persons including Cameron Brown, David Bray, and Alfred Greig. Traub was forcibly ejected. High in the rafters of this huge auditorium, built in 1950 by the Bowen Building Co., are several press photographers who are flashing bulb after bulb in an at- tempt to obtain a pictorial record of this gripping moment. Many of the convention delegates, among whom I recognize Gerald Ebbing, Roger Flood, Robert Furey, Jerry Donley and Joan Gleason are gathering with others from their dis- tricts to decide what united front they shall present. This scene is, without a doubt, the most rlotous I have witnessed since Frank Reagan's ninth inning homer in the final game led the Brooklyn Dodgers to a win in the World Serlse over the Yanks in 1944. Those photographers have descended to the ground now and are working their way through the milling crowd in an attempt, I suppose, to get closer to Hickey for a few close-up shots. If they come a little more this way, I may be able to identify them .... they're drifting this way with the crowd, and, oh yes, I can see them plainly now. There's Jack Battisto, the McCullum brothers, Don and Scott, and another who is a stranger to me. Here comes our extra equipment: now we will be able to mingle with the crowd, and perhaps get an interview or two. Nelson has not yet fought his way tmough the crowd, so we'll continue our personality-seeking while the radio engineer, who is, believe it or not, an old acquaintantance, Edgar Lever, installs our portable microphone. Down to the left a group of girls is sitting and knitting. Apparently Constance Bartlett, Barbara Blake, and Gretchen Erwin don't ruffle easily because they've knitted throughout all the excitement. I'll bet not one of them dropped a stitch. There's a flurry of excitement over in the corner to my right . . . . Phyllis Brewer, looking wild-eyed and flushed, is delivering a vehement speech accompanied by wild gesticulations, while Dorothy Ritzhaupt and Jennie Penale, usually reserved, shout and whistle in derlsion. Mary Welch and Janet MacMahon are threatening Dick Tay- lor with chair legs, which they must have torn from chairs in the convention hall. Well, here comes Dave at last. He looks all worn out and has every right to after fighting his way through that mob. He comes at a very opportune time, for the technician informs me that the other mike is ready for use. I can now leave my little glass cabinet and wander at will. If you'll excuse me for a moment, I'll pick it up on the other mike when I get outside the booth . . . Well, here we are, outside the booth and at the same time inside the largest convention hall in the world, where one of the most amazing things you can imagine recently ocurred. John J. Hickey, National Socialist Chairman, declared his intention of assuming dictatorial powers instead of allowing an election for president. That is the sum and substance of the situation, except that this entire hall is a bedlam, and has been since ten o'clock this morning, when Mayor Marl Lymburner' of the Falls, concluded his speech of welcome. Just a moment please! There is a terrific brawl going on here directly in front of our microphone, and we must be very careful of this expensive equipment, so we'll have to wait until hostilities cease. The participants in this fight are none others than those bosom buddies, James Dann and Thomas Goslin. As far as I can learn from the bystanders, the boys were attempting to determine which way our microphone wire was moving and could not agree whether to use F1eming's Rule or the Motor Law. The boys have rolled out of our path, so we'l1 attempt to press on through this crush of Socialist humanity. We are now passing through the center of a bevy of beautiful girls: namely Ann McGuth, Betty Page, Marilyn Bottorf, Helen McConnell, Betty Wilson, Gertrude Granite, Marilyn H0918 and Melba Fix. and must EXCUSG Ourselves at SVG!-'Y step. At last we have gained the platform. Now if we can get to Mr. Hickey, everything will be fine. If you'1l give me a boost, Dave, I'll give you a hand up. and then we can get to work. Ah, there we are . . . say, where's Hickey? Oh yes. I see him now. He's in that cluster of men in white uniforms. In a few moments you will hear the voice of John J. Hickey, ladies and gentlemen, if he will agree to speak. We are approaching the group of which he is the center . . . we peer inside . . . JOHN JOSEPH HICKEY IS CLAD IN A STRAIGHT JACKET. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it is true. And even as we speak, he is whisked off to Olrogg Mental Hospital where he will probably be confined for the rest of his life. I just heard the story of Hickey's amazing proclam ation. He was admitted to the mental hospital, secretly a week ago, and early this morning effected his escape. His demand for a Hickey dictatorship was merely the whlmsy of a deranged mind, so the crisis is passed and the election will be held. I hope you have enjoyed our program.

HAROLD NEWSON Class Prophet Page 72 THE NIAGARIAN June, 1940 Mantle Omtion Teachers Classmates and Friends, It is with a feeling both of joy and sorrow that we the class of '40 bid farewell to our Alma Mater, Niagara Falls High School, to continue along pathways leading to numerous and varied fields of endeavor. The conferring of this mantle, symbolic of seniority upon the class of 1941 brings to a close one of the most eventful experiences of our lives. Yet we realize that our education has only begun and that life's greatest decision, life's greatest achievements and life's hardest work are still part of the future. Having reached one coveted goal-that of graduation, we must not linger here but look ahead to success in our next venture, whether it be in a higher institution of learning or in the business world. We are confident that we will be as successful in our second undertaking as we have in our first, for it has been our fortune to have several unusual ad- vantages. First, we possess a sound foundation of knowledge which has been built under the direction of a splendid faculty. Without this wise counsel and guiding influence we never would have been able to overcome so many different obstacles. The teaching we have had has prepared us for life's opportunities. Our success will be the reward of our helpful advisors. We also have youth on our side with its characteristic determination and enthusiasm. Today the world with its many economic and social conditions needs us. Opportunities for success in many fields are greater now than they ever have been. Numerous frontiers are yet only partly explored and upon us falls the duty of furthering their develop- ment. With this in mind we must put forth our noblest efforts and continuously push ourselves forward in order to attain the greatest heights in these ventures. Much of the responsibility and hope for the future rests upon us. Days spent in Niagara Falls High School have all too soon come to a close. Dining our three years of attendance many new acquaintances have been made, and the old ones have been more firmly welded. Looking back we are recom- pensed with the memories of the many joyous hours spent with our colleagues. We are going to miss those happy mo- ments and those golden friendships but the thought of them should help encourage us in om- new adventures. Class of 1941, it is my privilege to bestow upon you this mantle of red and gray. May it bring to your minds the memories of this senior class and its achievements. Cherish it, live up to its precedents, give it the best you have and when the time arrives for you to relinquish it to your successors, may you do so with many laurels added thereto. FRANK PALUMBO Mantle Orator June, 1940 THE NIAGARIAN Page 73 Junior Response It is with a sense of pride that We, the class of '41, extend to you, the class of '40, our profound thanks for en- trusting to us this mantle, the token of seniority. Since you have placed this trust in us, you will instill in us the de- termination to carry the banner of loyalty and good fellow-ship as high as you yourselves have done for the past year. . All through the years of the secondary school there is a demand for orientation. As you graduated from junior high school you became oriented to the different curriculums and activities of your senior high school years. With the sound foundation which you have laid, by your many worthwhile acts and by the guidance of a capable faculty, you have been prepared for some field of endeavor. You. the graduating class of 1940, have acquired knowledge and ex- perience, which you will need as you tackle the problems you will face as you go forth from twelve years of instruction, information, and counsel by your public schools. May true success be yours, and We, your successors, shall be inspired to further your worthwhile achieve- ments. Representing the junior class of Niagara Falls High School, I accept with pride this mantle of Red and Gray. Now that your mantle has fallen upon our shoulders, we shall do all within our power t0 uphold the high ideals and go forward toward the goal of perfection for which it stands. WILLIAM EDWARDS junior Class President Page 74 THE NIAGARIAN June, l 940 Class Poem MARCHING YOUTH Have you heard the tramp of our marching feet? Youth of the world are we. We have tramped through the carefree childhood years Shod with the shoes of happiness. A Now we are come to youth's estate, To take our place in the scheme of things, Strong-llmbedg clear-eyed: high-visionedg keen of mind. And the world you have prepared for us? War-riveng hate-burdenedg blackened with greed Despoiled of old freedoms: rife with intolerance. Heirs of all ages! Is this our heritage? Though the rightful boon of labor be denied, Though the frontiers of conquest be closed, We shall march on- March through the night man's ignorance has created Into the light which wisdom may kindle, Into the peace of a world brotherhood. March from the turmoil of hate and intolerance. You have heard the tramp of our marching feet. We are climbing the singing hills. We shall reach the top-we shall not fail. Our feet are shod with will-our heads are in the stars.

Faculty Section Behind the scenes of a newspaper office, quietly performing their all-important tasks, the much-malignecl and little-appreciated Board of Directors formulates the paper's policy and co-ordinates the various branches of the business. A high school faculty is in much the same position. The object of much complaint but little appreciation, of endless criticism but little advice, it is the faculty's task to keep the wheels of the school machinery functioning smoothly, turning out enlightened and capable grad- uates. mfg 4 K I f ,. my 181'-f v . . - , h ..

June, 1940 THE NIAGARIAN Page 79 Administration ' To the Members of the Class of 1940, Greetings: You have come to the end of your high school days. Graduation is at hand, when you will receive the plaudits of family and friend on your achievement. Permit me to offer my sincere congratulations to each of you, but with this definite understanding: graduation is a meaningless fiasco if, when you get your diploma, you stop learning. If you are really worthy of congratu- lations, you must have acquired a desire to keep on growing in wisdom and understanding all the days of your lives. There is so much Ln thls world to learn, and you know so very little! Your education has just be- gun: may yom- graduation be, in truth, a Commencement. LYNDON H. STROUGH Principal Greetings to the Class of 1940: This year the thoughts of all of us have been largely turned to the war conditions existing in Europe and Asia. We have been able to maln- taln our neutrality thus far and our daily life has been little affected. I am afraid that many of us overlook the fact that this fortunate situation ls in no way due to any merit in- herent ln Americans. We have been greatly blessed by a kind Providence which has separated this land from unfriendly nations by broad oceans. This same Providence led our fore- fathers to frame a Constitution that guaranteed personal and political liberties. Our land produces abun- dantly everythlng needed for our comfort and happiness. All of this should make us humble in spirit, generous to the less for- tunate and above all grateful to Al- mighty God. JAMES F. TAYLOR Superintendent of Schools For each of you the year 1940 will hold a very special place in your memory. It will mark the success- ful completlon of a special portion of your life, the importance of which you may not realize for many years to come. Most of you have, ln large measure, taken advantage of the opportunities that have been yours and are in a position to go on to future accomplishments with the corresponding satisfactlons. It has been a privilege to know and work with you. I hope the years ahead may bring you many good things.

June, 1940 THE NIAGARIAN Page 91 Revision of School Constitution Outstanding Business Of School Council Throughout Active Legislative Year John Hickey William Edwards Dorothy Ritzhaupt Frank Reagan Members Sponsor Different Type Xmas Campaign Niagara Falls, N. Y., June, 1940 QNFJ -An enthusiastic group of eager stu- dents, full of ideas and suggestions for making 1940 a bigger and better year, attended the first student council meeting called September 22 by our President John Hickey. Miss Hulen welcomed the representa- tives and explained their duties and functions. Constitution Revised As the first item of business, John Hickey appointed a committee which was to revise the school constitution. This group consisted of four seniors: Betty Dale, chairmang Jeanne Daggett, clerkg Lois Lambert, Roy Swartoutg three juniors: Dorothy Cross, Howard Steele, William Edwardsg and two sophomores: Clifford Swartz, and Rob- ert Arthurs. This committee held weekly meetings and discussed various changes and re- visions. Regular reports were brought back to the council and sometimes a doubtful issue was voted upon by the representatives in order to express their wishes to the committee. On December 8, 1939, Betty Dale read the revised constitution which was unanimously accepted by the students of the school. As is the usual custom, two repre- sentatives were selected by the council to serve on the Athletic Advisory Com- mittee. Those chosen this year were Robert Arthurs, and Joy Schleman. Christmas Basket Campaign Held Beginning this year, a new method was used for our Christmas basket cam- paign. Instead of each class making individual baskets, the money and food was put into one fund. The money collected, S170.82, was divided among the Family Welfare, Mount Carmel Guild, and the Salvation Army. The students who took an active part in this campaign were: Mary Welch, Marjorie Duffett, Margaret Frommert, Patterson Stowell, David Nelson, Frank Palumbo, Melvyn Berman, Roman Fig- ler, Catherine Hailey and Ruth Flood. Snappy and entertaining notices were distributed to the roll calls each morning and served to keep student ln- terest in the campaign alive. Assemblies Sponsored by Council During this year, the school council has brought many interesting assembly programs before the student body. Among the outstanding ones were: Al Priddy, who told at great length of his experiences with wild animals in the circus and spoke ln a fascinating manner on the topic Can Animals Thlnk?'Jg Lewis Hoskins, who gave de- tailed explanations regarding the in- tricate workings of the television which he brought with him and who demon- strated the mysteries of this phenom- enon by experimenting with students in the audience and also by a, sample application of television make-up on a student: and Glenn Cunningham, world famous track man, who enter- tained the assemblage with an address entitled, Events in the 1936 Olympics. The students were charmed with Dr. Cunningham's manner and he was be- sieged with autograph-seekers. '40-'41 Programs Also Chosen Early in the year, a committee was appointed by the President to choose the assemblies for next year. This group consisted of Constance Bartlett, chairman: William Joy, Pat Goodfel- low, Maurice Russell, Agnes O'Leary, John Neuhaus and Paul Locke, with Miss Hulen and John Hickey as ex- officio members. They discussed the various attractions which had been of- fered for the schoo1's approval and then returned with a report to the Stu- dent Counell. The members of the Council then voted on their decision. The assembly speakers chosen for 1940- '41 were: Jack Raymon, who will talk on Reptiles of North America, Arlite Smith, a champion diver, who will bring a message on What Price Cham- plonship? g and Miss Jean McLaugh- lin, an air hostess, who speaks on the Experience of Traveling in the Air as Page 92 THE NIAGARIAN June, l94Q The members of the Student Council ln the above picture are: L. to li..-M.

Jones, who lectured three years ago on the intricacies of gyroscopes, is to be brought back. Next year, Mr. Jones will present a program dealing with the latest discoveries in the field of television. After the as- sembly is concluded, Mr. Jones remains for the day to answer questions regard- ing the mechanism of television and will visit science classes for further dis- cussicn. School Daze Planned It was in the Council meetings that the issue of Wing Collar Day was first mentioned. It was discussed and, fin- ally, it was agreed that the old-time Wing Collar Day was not the sort of day which the students now enjoy. An- other committee Was chosen to investi- gate the possibility of inaugurating a. new student day program. The com- mittee consisted of Mae Johnstone, chairman: Helen Olander, William Ed- wards, Robert Arthurs, Patricia Good- fellow, Maurice Russell and Jean Sav- age. It was finally decided that the students would take over the school for the day on May 3. Mr. Strough's duties were fulfilled by John Hickey and Dorothy Ritzhaupt inherited the duties of vice-principal. All classes dur- ing the day were conducted by seniors. Senior classes chose a member of their class to serve as instructor while in classes composed of underclassmen, the teacher appointed a senior. For their part of the day's entertain- ment, the sophomores, juniors and seniors prepared variety assembly pro- grams. All classes entered a mem- ber in each of various types of stage entertainment and a committee of sen- iors acted as judge in determining which class as a whole provided the better performances. Pins for faithful service were award- ed a large number of the representa- tives who had been present at 8093 of the council meetings for the two terms.

Y., June, 1940 CNF? -Organized early in the year of 1934, the Athletic Advisory Committee has continued to improve varsity and intra- mural sports through student sugges- tions. This group has also attempted to better relations between the varsity men of various teams. The committee is composed of one boy and one girl from the sophomore class: two boys and two girls chosen by the School Council: three representatives of the letter meng three from the letter girls: two non-letter men from intra-mural teams: two non letter girls: the man- B.

Sliker. agers of all varsity teams: two members of the faculty from the physical edu- cation departmentg principal or one member of the faculty designated by him. Adopts New Varsity Letter One of the first acts of this commit- tee was the choosing of the six inch block form letter as a varsity letter, and the decision that this letter would be used permanently. Discussions were also held as to whether letter men should receive sweaters for two or three years' service on the teams. However, up to the time of writing, nothing definite had been decided. Inaugurated Season Ticket Plan High School's fine sports program was due largely to the work of this group, Both in cash receipts and in attendance did they exceed previous years in promoting varsity athletics. One reason for this was the forming of a new season ticket plan which in- cluded admission to basketball, foot- ball, and swimming contests. It was planned so that students could pay on the installment plan and, while still paying, could attend the games. This method proved favorable and over 500 season tickets were sold. Mary Welch, who is president of this committee, is also secretary of the City Athletic Council. Besides holding this noteworthy position, Mary Welch also acted as delegate from Niagara Falls High School. This City Athletic Coun- cil has final consideration as to all matters pertaining to school activities.

Y., June, 1940 CNF? -The aim of the Social Committee has been to bring recreation in the form of dances to the students of Ni- agara Falls High School. During the course of the school year many such dances were held afternoons in the gymnasium. The first affair was opened with a nickleodeon providing the music. This dance proved successful enough to war- rant a four-piece orchestra featuring Don Gais at the piano. Gradually the committee was able to obtain a six- piece orchestra which provided the au- dience With some really classic swing. Music Pleases All These functions were well attended by the dancers of the school. Both the avid swing fans who attended to jitter- bug to the fast tempo of In the Mood and the dreamy sentlmentalists who delighted in waltzing to such grand tunes as Stardust were equally pleased with the entertainment at these social affairs. This committee is composed of fif- teen members-six seniors, five juniors, and four sophomores. The group meets twice a month and decides on its next function. After setting a date they endeavor to find a novel theme for the dance. The committee is then divided into groups. Some are to make posters and put signs on the boards while others are responsible for securing chaperones. A music committee is appointed and its job is to find a good but inexpen- sive orchestra. Chairs are brought up from the cafeteria and thus, the stage is set for an afternoon Social Commit- tee dance. Picnic Is Planned At the end of the year, the members are rewarded for their hard work by a school picnic held at Ellicott Creek Park near Buffalo. Here they rejoice the passing of another successful year by indulging in, not only eats, but also canoeing and, by chance, swimming. The committee this year was under the direction of Miss Anne Dorgan, who was ably assisted by Miss Donohue. J- , . .

Y., June, 1940 KNFD -Three years ago the Corridor Patrol was instituted in the Niagara Falls High School to help prevent some of the damage which was done to the school building and grounds by the students leaving the school during the day. In order to remedy these condi- tions, pupils voluntarily devoted their extra study halls to corridor patrol duty. Staff Is Well-Organized During each period there are four- teen people on duty: a captain and a clerk are assigned to posts at the table at the main entrance and one student VI-fi Priest.

The captains of the periods during the spring term were as follows: First, Marion Lee: second, Betty Dale: third, Melvin Ruff 3 fourth, Joan Simons: fifth, Agnes Alvarez and Betty Shultz: sixth, Billy Penrnang seventh, Mary Benbowg eighth, Helen Graham. The period clerks were: first, Margaret Henderson: second, Shirley Dalton: third, Mary Corcoran: fourth, Dorothy Mae Bigger, fifth, Dorothy Bowen and Dorothy Loge 5 sixth, Dorothy Peterson: seventh, Mary Welch: eighth, Tyler Bishop. Soon this system turned out to be so valuable and efficient that similar service has been rendered in a like manner ever since. New System Inaugurated During the Spring term of this year, a new method of selecting the members of the patrol was introduced. The home room teachers have chosen the students for the first period staff and study hall teachers for each of the remaining periods. The members of the patrol have proved by that they can without taking privileges. Each member is expected to keep both his class work and his corridor patrol work satisfactory, because any laxity on the part of a member will result in his being dropped from the Patrol. their excellent work accept responsibility advantage of their l l Page 96 THE NIAGARIAN June, 1940 Large Group of Volunteer Student Library Assistants Ably Execute Numerous Services Connected With Reading Room Members of the Student Library Assistant Staff in the above picture are, L. to lt.: Row I-R.

June, 1940 QNFD -The student library assistants con- sist of about 30 girls chosen by Miss Hutson each term. Their work is en- tirely voluntary. The only require- ments for the position of a library as- sistant are an 8092 average and at real liking for library work. Varied Services Performed The various services performed by these students are: Charging out books, receiving them, preparing them for the shelves, and returning them to the shelves. They also record library per- mits and return them to the study halls. They inform students when their books are overdue and when the books which they have reserved are in the library. Additional services include the substitution of new slips and cards for used slips and cards, the preparing of many books, and the taking of in- ventory once each year. One of their most important duties is answering the numerous requests of the students for material for many of their various sub- jects. All of these services and duties are carried on under the able super- vision of Miss Hutson. Girls Receive Awards For their services, the girls are awarded school seals: bronze for one year, silver for two years, and gold for three years. Work in the library for one period each day of the week for one term counts as one year of service. They also benefited by the valu- uable training in library and clerical work which they experience. If a stu- dent is expecting to select the career of a librarian for a life work, these preliminary duties are a great help in deciding whether or not she likes it well enough to continue in that field. However, if the student is merely work- ing in the library for her own personal enjoyment, she will find the work very interesting as well as instructive. Many girls have taken an active Dart in this form of service for the Niagara Falls High School.

Adams, Criminologisl and Aeronaul Are Among Speakers Niagara Falls, N. Y., June 1940 KNFJ -The Forensic Society, created in the interests of better public speaking and debating, has enjoyed one of the most successful years since its origin twelve years ago. This year the enrollment has increased and has now reached a total of twenty-two -members. Members Hear Lecturers The meetings have been held bi- weekly at the home of the various members. The speakers for these meet- ings, have been chosen from different professions with the idea of giving members a better understanding of their potential vocations. During the year the society had the privilege of hearing a lawyer, a fingerprinting ex- pert, an aeronautical expert, and many others who all told both the good and the bad sides of their work. In all cases, the lectures were intended to give mem- bers a concrete, first-hand review of the various professions. Following the topic, discussions were held between the speakers and members in order to clear up any vague points. Membership Is Restricted New members of the organization are chosen by means of competitive speeches given before the whole club. From these try-outs, thegroup makes its final selections. As stated in the club constitution, all debate team members are automatically acceptable as members of the Forensic Society. This year a good majority of the de- bating squad availed themselves of the privilege. Prepared adresses and impromptu talks on various subjects have been given during the year. Prominent fea- ture of each meeting is Mr. Bedford's closing criticism at the end of each meeting. In the criticism, the faculty advisor points out the highlights of the meeting, emphasizing points to be con- sidered and remembered. In addition, errors in speech made by members dur- ing the meeting are pointed out and analyzed. At press time, it is planned to close the 1939-40 season with a picnic, as has been the custom in previous years. Page 98 THE NIAGARIAN June, 1940 Debate Team Wins Niagara Frontier League Championslripg Secures First Leg of New Trophy Awarded by Buffalo News Louis Critelli End Campaign With Eleven Wins and Four Losses Niagara Falls, N. Y., June 1940 tNFJ -Climaxing a successful season, the 1940 Debate Team again captured the championship of the Niagara Frontier Debating League and was responsible for placing another cup in the school's trophy case. This is the fourth con- secutive year that the Niagara Falls team has earned the league title. Per- manent possession of the cup, which is offered by the Buffalo Evening News, is won by the school holding three an- nual titles. Squad Is Inexperienced Chosen from a group of students who tried out last October for positions on Agnes Blamer Paul Reid Ralph Beals Betty Dale Clifford Swartz Mark R.. Bedford Clem DeFelice the team. this year's squad was made ip of nine members. All were first-year debaters. These young and inexper- ienced students undertook to study rail- road conditions in the United States in order to debate on the topic. Re- solved: That the Federal Government Should Own and Operate the Railroads, which was the topic chosen for debate in high schools all over the nation. They carried on an extensive research program in current magazines and books, which led, for all of them, to greater knowledge on many worthwhile topics. Affirmative Upholds Govemment Ownership Clifford Swartz, as first speaker for the affirmative, told with logical reasoning why it would be advisable for the government to own and operate the railroads and showed clearly that in the United States, we, the people are the government. The case for the af- firmative in the second place was sup- ported by Betty Dale in some debates and by Louis Critelli in others. The former with convincing manner and tone, the latter with firm and busi- ness-like presentation, showed how the difficulty of the railroads could be cor- rected by government ownership. Clem DeFelice, as third speaker, came for- ward with determination and convinc- ing argument to show that it would be a wise policy for the federal govern- ment to own and operate the railroads Izecause it would be both practical and HIGH SCHOOL 1940 June, 1940 THE NIAGARIAN Page 99 economical as it would bring many other advantages. Negative Team Refutes Affirmative The case for the negative was opened at the debates by Betty Dale, Who, with well chosen words and a voice which showed determination seemed to win the audience to her way of thinking. She showed that the railroad difficulty is not inherent in the system itself but rather to factors outside. Agnes Blamer With charming manner came forth to further oppose government ownership and operation of the railroads by con- demning the unfair regulation in re- gard to transportation facilities. The case against government ownership and operation was concluded in some debates by Ralph Beals, and in others by Paul .Reid as third speaker. Mr. Reid with forceful argument made the au- dience doubt the adoption of govern- ment ownership as a policy for this country. Mr. Beals met his audience with ease and confidence in himself and as third speaker added to the proof piled up against government ownership and operation by pointing at dangers which would result were the government to take over the rail- roads. Coach Gives Excellent Training Mr. Bedford, who has been the High School Debate Coach for the past sev- eral years, deserves a great deal of credit for the excellent records made by the many teams in the school's his- tory. The training which he gives the debaters in voice, diction, pronuncia- tion and logic are but a part of the program carried on by teams from year to year. He supervises the choosing of reading matter and gives unlimited ad- vice during the actual writing of speeches. ' Throughout the season both teams did debating of such a nature that it was a credit to themselves and to the Niagara Falls High School which they represented. Jamestown N. F. H. S.

Our nearest possible approach to a complete expression of gratification is this year's Niagarian itself, a physical embodiment of that spirit of co-opera- tion and helpfulness which is so vital to any large student project. William Sdao It is our sincere desire that the many people who will be reading this an- nual, may derive a small portion of the spirit which we feel is imbedded in every page. It has been a great deal of fun, and also a great deal of work, but we feel at last that the result has been worth the effort.

Y., June, 1940 CNF? -Following an early start last October, the 1940 Niagarian Staff decided to model its yearbook after a newspaper. Throughout the book, in each of the various sections, this theme has been attained. Unique Theme is Used The wood-grain cover was chosen be- cause of the fact that newspaper is made from lumber. The art work'has all been edited in such a manner as to correlate the form and layout of a yearbook with the background of a. daily paper. The smash-up headline sections are ar- ranged so as to give the reader a minute picture of the year's happen- ings in each of the school depart- ments. The theme was further carried out by the publishing of honor-roll marks in the form of stock quotations: by the use of a cross-word puzzle, ingeni- ously constructed by Phyllis Saph, Bette Tyree, and Evelyn McCormick: by special make-up and brilliant head- linesg by the presence of an unusually large number of picturesg and by the addition of separate, especially-written headlines for each senior whose picture appears in the book. Niagarian Sponsors Assembly The sales campaign this year was opened by a unique assembly under the direction of Elgin Olrogg. A jazz orchestra, dancers, vocalists, and a Vox Pop attraction were features of the program. The installment plan was again used during the campaign and final results showed that sales records for all previous years had been broken by the 1940 Business Staff. Various Campaigns Carried On Because this year's Niagarian is much larger than previous years, the staff attempted in various ways to raise money. They sponsored The Swiss Family Robinson at a local theatre. This story of a British family, cast on the shores of a tropical island, was enjoyed by all who attended. In addition, the staff sold candy and ice cream at the Trott-High School Basketball game. Much credit for the success of this year's book is due to the efforts of Miss Dahlquist, faculw advisor, to Mr. Fablano, assistant advisor, and to the staff.

Y., June, 1940 tNFD Concluding what has proved to be one of the most successful years in the past decade, the Chronicle, Niagara's offic- ial student publication, can look back upon a series of publications which has presented many new features of reader interest. Last fall, under the capable direc- tion of William Sdao, Editor-in-Chief, the staff was organized and the first issue was published October 26. New Features Inaugurated It was in this issue, that three en- tirely new features were inaugurated: the Pan Hellenic column, to which the fraternities and sororlties submitted accounts of their activities: a column of personal gossip, the Bath Tub Ring, which was received with enthusiasm by students and made into a perma- nent feature of the paperg and a third column, On the Bench by Stool Pigeon iMarvin Milkesl, which endeavored to present interesting sidelights on the sports events of the school. This series of fragmentary comments on school athleters was cut short by the writers departure for California and Louis De Biase was selected to continue with a. similar column. Under the caption of Round the Gym, De Biase edited an informative and entertaining column for the five last issues. Publication Covers Many Events Honor rolls were printed regularly, interviews with assembly speakers were reported and three other new columns appeared. The Know Your School Column, which gave historical backgrounds of common school organi- zations was begun and a. series of comments on girls' styles were pre- pared by Suzy, Chronicle fashion editor. Leone Dardarian's Movie of the Month sought to give a synopsis of what the Writer considered to be the finestand most inspirational motion picture of the month. Close touch was kept with athletic events, intra-mural activities, the progress of the yearbook, and debating contests. Miss Hauck Is Advisor The members of the staff are mem- bers of Miss Ruth Hauck's Newspaper Class or graduates of this course. Miss Hauck is the advisor and the staff re- ceives experience through literary 'busi- ness, and journalistic trainingq ' Page lO4 THE NIAGARIAN June, 1940 Publication of Monthl Pictorial Paper Features Year's Activities of School's Newly Formed Photography Group Candid Club members in above picture: Bow I-l. to r., S.

Varied Features Brighten First Candid Issues Due to the popularity of the candid camera fad throughout the school, the Camera Club was organized this year under the direction of Mr. Paul Fowl- er, faculty advisor. The purpose of this group was to teach some of the fundamentals of photography to the student enthusi- asts. Those who were better ac- quainted with this art, attempted to utilize their knowledge in teaching the beinners. 'Candid' Is Sponsored As an added activity of the club, the Camera Club began publishing a monthly pictorial paper entitled The Candid. In this paper were presented informal shots taken of student and faculty life. Recently the staff held a. silhouette contest, in which several members of the faculty were portrayed in silhouette. The first person to connect these profiles with their cor- rect owners and to hand in his entry was awarded the prize of -me dollar. The second and third prizes were iifty cents each. Silhouette Contest Is Held Wallace Keller, Senior Class His- torian, was the Winner of the first prize and Richard Suttel and Donald Dimond shared second and third prize honors respectively. The prizes were awarded to these students in assembly. Other activities of the club consist of lectures given by the members. These lectures are provided monthly by the Eastman Kodak Company with slides pertaining to such subjects as color photography, pictorial photog- raphy and personal photography. Mr. Fowler, Donald McCollum, and Robert Dean have each participated in this function of the organization throughout the year. To arouse student interest, a mock Jack Benny-Fred Allen feud was started between the Chronicle and Candid Staffs. Candid-Chronicle Feud Counter editorial criticisms were hurled at the rival staffs for several issues. However, throughout the feud, the opposing editors kept in close touch with each other to make certain that no hard feelings were created. Interesting features of the Candid issues were Photo-Fads, a pictorial fashion columng Foot-notes, a romance in snapshots: a faculty column, fea- turing unusual poses of faculty mem- bers, and a May We Introduce col- umn, which brought to the public eye various prominent students.

Sound, Movie Staffs Aid in Class Room Studies Niagara Falls. N. Y., June, 1940 CNF? An outgrowth of what was originally the Projection staff, the Visual Audio Aids Club is carrying on all of the functions of the group in addition to its newly-added activities. As the new name implies, operation of the school's sound equipment is now handled by the Visual Audio Group. As in past years, the Projection Staff of the club has taken complete charge on presentation of slides and motion pictures in assembly programs, class-room lectures, or club meetings. Class-room presentations have includ- ed science department films dealing with subjects of a scientific nature and pictorial records of foreign countries shown to language students. Staff Operates P. A. System The newly-added sound staff was established in order to meet the in- creasing demands for sound equipment in conjunction with various school ac- tivities. The principal duty of this branch of the Visual Audio Aids clubs in the maintenance and operation of the public address system in the school auditorium. The proper functioning of the broadcasting system has been a vital aid to many of the school's best assembly presentations. In addition to this Work, the staff has assumed num- erous other school duties. Among these, i one of the most unusual has been oper- ating the school electrical sound machine, used in the English, Langu- age, and Art Departments. Members Assist in Classrooms Throughout the year, these depart- ments have played electrical recordings supplementing ordinary class worlr. Despite the fact that the Projection and Sound staff are operated as separ- ate units, it has been found advisable, because of their parallel natures and usages, to combine the two organiza- tions under the title of the Visual Audio Aids Staff, under the expert and excellent technical supervision of Paul P. Fowler, the club has assumed a vital position in the school.

William Ball Lectures Club Upon Glass Blowing Niagara Falls, N. Y., CNF!-The Chemistry Club began its activities this year on Friday, September 15. After electing Edwin McKeehan presi- dent, Marl Lymburner, vice-president, and Richard Taylor secretary, the club drew up its by-laws, and selected Wed- nesday afternoon as the time for the weekly meetings. Several Experiments Made The first topic to be taken up was determining the atomic weight of sev- eral metals. After this had been con- cluded, the members branched out into various fields of experimentation. One member studied the construction and operation of mercury vapor lamps. other experimented successfully An- with various fog dispellers, and constructed several by himself. Others worked on hydroponics, the science of growing plants in chemical solutions away from earth. Several of their bean plants at- tained a height of over one foot, but they died when taken home over the Christmas vacation. The rest of the members worked on glass blowing and other equally interesting lines of re- search. Glass Technician Is Lecturer Mr. William Ball, glass technician and advisor for the R. and H. Chemi- cal plant, spoke at an open meeting of the Chemistry Club in mid-Novem- ber. During the weeks following Mr. Ball's Atkinson, C, Lampman, L, Paglino, J. Gleason, M- M. Zubkofl. talk, most of the members worked with glass. The next big topic to be taken up by the club was qualitative analysis, the method of recognizing the elements by characteristic reactions with known substances. Plans Made For Show In February, the members of the Chemistry Club began preparations for a demonstration of chemical magic and spectacular experiments. By the use of various fluids and other mix- tures, tricks can be performed which will provide amusing as well as amaz- ing results. The show will be open to any student and the proceeds will be used for a worthy purpose. At press time, the members are working almost every afternoon and hope to have the show ready sometime in May.

Y., June, 1940, CNF? -The Deutscher Bote was first estab- lished as a Niagara Falls High School newspaper in 1933 under the leader- ship of William Boles, editor, and Miss Baader, faculty advisor. The size at that time was similar to the present edition. The paper provided coverage of sports, school happenings, short stories, cartoons, and gossip. Following the first three issues, the publication was suspended until five years later. In 1938 the students under Miss Baader and Rita Jane Niger again began publication of the paper. That time it was much larger and great-ly improved. It was then that the Bote began a regular schedule of monthly publications from November through May with the exception of January. Several new features such as a short synopsis of a famous Wagnerlan opera and a humorous column made their first appearances at that time. Co-Editors Manage Publication This year, under the capable ed- itorship of Peter Reif and Richard Taylor, the Deutscher Bote has again appeared before the students as an eight-page publication including do- mestic and foreign news, biographical sketches of famous Germans, humor, and features of Germany. Among the biographies are those of great com- posers, philosophers, painters, and statesmen. A splendid Christmas issue gave the story if Stille Nacht and some of the Christmas customs of Germany. The paper is mimeographed by the students themselves. The cover de- signs are drawn by John Wdowka and the clever cartoons by Tom Yukie, Sam Baratta and John Wdowka. The co- editors have been ably assisted in all phases of the writing by Eleanor Gri- chen and John Malcolm. Profits Used In Department The profits of the publication are used to further the development of the German department. Last year sev- eral phonograph records were pur- chased and presented to the depart- ment. Since the paper is printed in German, the circulation is limited to those with an understanding of the language.

Unusual Meetings Planned by Student Chairman Niagara Falls, N. Y., June, 1940 CNFJ -The Iota. Chapter of Les Babillards was founded in the Niagara Falls High School in 1925. The club is composed of a selected group of 25 honor French students. The members are chosen by the group upon recommendation of second, third, and fourth year French teachers. Bablllards Means Chatterboxes The Chatterboxes, which is English for Les Babillards, meets twice each month in the auditorium under the capable supervision of Mlle. Finn. During the past year the club has presented many entertaining and edu- cational programs. Refreshments are served at the social meetings and par- ties are held during the holiday seasons at the homes of various members. Mr. Scotchmer Lectures Mr. Scotchmer attended three of the meetings and gave fascinating addresses on the various types of French music. A party was held during the Christ- mas vacation at the home of Finn, the advisor. French games played, French Christmas carols sung, and delicious refreshments served. A quiz program was presented later date at which volunteers the club replied correctly and incor- rectly to questions based on French history, literature, art, and music. At another meeting eight members entertained the club with a program of Mlle. were were were at a from French folk dances. A history of French folk dancing and folk songs was given by Helen Hutchins and Marilyn Bottorf. Mlle. Finn presented an interesting travelogue on her extensive journeys in the colonies of Algeria and Morocco. This was enhanced by colorful slides of all the people and places mentioned. Members Profit From Programs The members of Les Babillards profit from their activity in that they have a. chance to develop their pronuncia- tion of the French language and to enjoy the study of French much more. With the assistance of Mlle. Finn the club has had a very active and success- ful year, and the members are looking forward to an equally successful pro- gram next year. June, l94O THE NIAGARIAN Poge lO9 Niagara Chapter of National .lunior Classical League Attains Membership of 213 in Second Year of Existence Members Present Several Stage Productions Niagara Falls, N. Y., June, 1940, KNFJ -For the first time last year there was introduced into our school a spe- cial organization for Latin students entitled the Junior Classical League.

Alto- gether there are three hundred and twenty-one chapters of this league in Union. The fact that it forty-two states of the league is proud of the possesses its own charter, motto, creed, those in the and officials similar to ancient Roman government, namely consuls, praetors, censors, aediles, trib- unes, quaestors, and a scribe. Many Officers Govern Group The consuls are June Barrett and Nancy Day. The eight praetors are Patricia Hopkin, Alfred Priest, Helen Peters, Irene Jenkins, Marjorie Killian, William Joy, Harold Rosamilli, and Mary Owings, Joan Simons, Marie Trapasso, and Phyllis Karre are the censors. The aediles are Jeanne Sav- age, Dorothy Mae Bigger, David Glea- son and Ruth Flood. The two tribunes are Walter Veidheffer and Clifford Swartz. John Goldman and Margaret Frommert are the quaestors, and John Demas is the scribe. The members accepted into the or- ganization consist of all those who take first, second, third, or fourth year Latin and whose marks are above '75 per cent. The enrollment at pres- ent has reached a total of 213 mem- bers. Programs Are Varied The first programwas a satirical, but immensely enjoyable skit based upon the wanderings of the famed Aeneas. The December program consisted of the well-loved play Baucis and Phile- mon and several well-known Christ- mas carols sung in Latin by the mem- bers of the club. A brain-teasing, question-firing Battle of the Sexes was presented at the February meeting with 'expert students participating. In acknowledgement of its increasing importance, this organization of recent establishment was requested to pre- sent an assembly program. As a re- sult, on April 17th, the league drama- tized the colorful pageant Paris of Troy with the principal roles being played by William Joy, Irene Jenkins, Helen Peters, Ruth Flood, and Alice Nolan.

Y., June 1940, CNF! -With the aim of educating them- selves, but at the same time having a thoroughly enjoyable time, the Senior Girl Scouts have had a very busy year. With this end in view their Whole program has been carefully planned by the president, Ruth Free- man, with suggestions from the rest of the girls. Early last term they attended the studio of Mrs. Langs and enjoyed an interesting talk on art and sculpture given by their hostess. During the latter part of October, Elizabeth Neville entertained the group at her home for dinner. They played games under the direction of Miss Reta Hall who was their temporary leader until November of last year. The first week of November. the girls were invited to the home of Mrs. Fleming where they heard a talk on old silverware. The hostess had ar- ranged assorted pieces of silverware to illustrate her points and told them the history of the various pieces. Members Get Domestic Art Training A short time before Christmas the girls learned that the Singer Come pany was offering free courses con- sisting of three lessons each in making dresses, and interior decoration. They divided themselves into two groups, depending upon their interests, and learned much from their experience. Wilson Group Entertainer! The early part of January proved to be a fine time for the Niagara Falls scouts to play hostesses to the senior troop from Wilson. The Wilson girls were invited to a social meeting and had a delightful time viewing the beauties of the Falls in Winter. A tea was given in February in honor of the council and the mothers of the members of the troop at thc home of Ruth Freeman. The Senior Girl Scouts feel that they have accomplished something of value in this year's activities and have profited from their educational enter- tainments. In the future, with the assistance of their co-leaders, Mrs. Richard C. Shubert and Mrs. William H. Birmingham, they are certain to continue to live up to the standards required by Girl Scouts everywhere.

Y., June 1940, CNFJ -A prominent organization of the Ni- agara Falls High School under the capable direction of Mrs. Helen Hill Thiele, is the Dramatic Club. The members meet twice a month in the auditorium and present programs for their own entertainment and for as- sembly programs. One of the most important features of the Dramatic Club's year is the production of the Junior Play. It is an outstanding annual event looked forward to by all. Club Programs Are Entertaining One of the most popular of the club Zubkoff, V. DeIBrocco, P. Osborn, B.. Beals, V. SPBFUIIBU, T. Rice, G. Wlnke, E. Maloney, programs Was an original skit, cleverly written by Jean Savage, entitled The Lightkeeperts Daughter. Gretchen Heyroth directed an all-girl cast which proved very amusing. Another program which proved to be very entertaining was a quiz similar to the Battle of the Sexes. Bill Ed- wards, president of the club, acted as master of ceremonies. Several times during the year, mon- ologues have been presented by talent- ed members. One of the most beauti- ful of these was given by Betty Jenks at the Christmas meeting. Vera. Neal also gave entertaining monologues at various times. Something new, which proved enter- taining as well as instructive, was the extemporaneous reading of poetry and J. B:-own, L. MacGregor, B. Field. short prose selections and the im- promptu presentation of several coni- edy skits. Since members were asked to take part in these programs without ever having seen the scripts, many amusing incidents occurred. Another phase of the Dramatic Club work which is often overlooked by many students is the property and make-up department. There are many members who have taken up this work and have really become well-trained make-up artists. Pins Are Awarded Students who wear Dramatic Club pins not only show their membership in the club, but also that they have had two major or three minor parts in dramatic programs presented during the year.

Few members of the audiences' which witness our school plays realize the importance of the stage crew. These boys who spend their time backstage are highly essential to the final pro- duction of a play, but receive none of the 'applause of the audience. Com- plete knowledge of backstage technique is neccessary for the proper stage effects beginning from the initial cur- tain, throughout the play and inter- mission until the final drop. , Crew Supervises Stage Experts In the fall, a three act play entitled The Bishop Misbehaves was pre- sented by the Junior Class. All of the scenery for this presentation was set up by the stage crew. The unusual lighting effects for the Christmas Pageant were designed and carried out by stage crew members. Although most of the scenery for this year's Senior Play was rented and assembled by professional stage designers, the lighting effects and general stage op- erations Were ably handled by this group. Duties Are Many There are numerous tasks which these trained boys must perform: such as putting up and taking down the large drop curtainsg cleaning the stageg making new setsg and repair- ing old ones are considered some' of their most difficult jobs. In addition they operate the spot lights, and put in the footlights. When you hear the bang of a gun or similar sound ef- fects, the stage crew is again at work. Not only for the dramatic club, but for any organization of the school, does this group perform these tasks. Fine Work Is Displayed As they have worked during the past year they have added little by little to their own knowledge and to our en- joyment by their earnest efforts and hard work .

Clifford Goldsmith's three-act comedy was presented on March 14 under the supervision of Mrs. Helen Hill Thiele. The humorous and fast-moving ac- tion which took place entirely within the principal's office of legendary Central High School, realistically transported the audience to a land of books, homework, spring dances, and history tests. Roles Splendidly Portrayed Dick Adams, taking the lead role of Henry Aldrich, splendidly portrayed Nelson, C. Wickes, W, Koller, M. Zubkoff, B. the part of the bewildered, trouble-rid- den student, torn between honesty and a spring prom. The feminine lead, played by Jeanne Daggett, was Bar- bara Pearson, the object of Henry's affections. Outstanding in other roles were Janet MacMahon, as the tempera- mental but romantic teacher: Patter- son Stowell as Henry's overbearing and aggressive rival: and David Nelson, as the two-footed clue that no one would listen to. Robert Bates, as the irrascl- ble history teacher came as near to playing a villain as the plot allowed. Harold Newson, and Betty Jenks as the all-knowing office secretary pro- vided a secondary romantic interest.

June, l94O THE NIAGARIAN Page ll7 Red and Gray Garbed A Cappella Chorusters to Take Part ln Annual Entertainment at Commencement Exercises Collaborates with Club To Present Tableaux Niagara Falls, N. Y., June, 1940 CNFJ -The Associated Music Club is made up of the members of the various mu- sical organizations of the school. The members met early last fall and elected as their officers: Keith Rushton, Pres- identg Dorothy Deighton, Vice-Presi- dent: Joan Gleason, Secretary: and Lois Lambert, Treasurer. A very fine and successful season was enjoyed by the various musical organi- zations of Niagara Falls High School. They favored our school by present- ing to us Herbert Petrie and His White Hussars whose brilliant performance did not exceed the beauty and glitter of their costumes. Dressed in white and with their golden instruments, they presented a dramatic and exciting pic- ture. Association Presents Three Contests During the season the Associated Music Clubs presented three major con- certs. The first was the Sixteenth An- nual Thanksgiving Concert, an event in which the orchestra shared honors with the A Capella Chorus, the Boys' Glee Club, and the Mixed Chorus. Second, was a Spring Concert, presented by the Band and the A Capella Chorus on Thursday, April 11. Best received of the numbers in the chorus' two groups was the Echo Song, in which Lois Lambert and Dorothy Deighton supplied the echo. For the Christmas assembly, the A Capella Chorus collaborated with the dramatic club in the production of a series of tableaux picturing famous Christmas paintings. They also ap- peared at the Commencement exercises in June, their performance and that of the orchestra making an entertaining substitute for the usual commencement speaker.

Y., June, 1940, CNFD -The purpose of the Art Club is to introduce to its members the funda- mentals in the sketching of human figures. For those members not ma- joring in art, the club is of great value in helping them appreciate and under- stand art, while those who are major- ing in art receive an excellent founda- tion for the study of anatomy. Miss Lecklider believes that this club work serves as a fundamental background for any one who intends to take ad- vanced art work. Models Difficult To Obtain Since models are difficult to obtain, various members of the club pose. The president, Fred Misch, chooses the models and selects the poses according to the demand of the club members. The length of time for each pose is about ten minutes, but less time is allotted to those students holding dif- ficult positlons due to the strain on the model. The practice of using a different medium, such as crayon, chalk, char- coal, pencil, each week helps a great deal in stimulating the interest and imagination of the members, besides giving them a greater technique. The students in portraying the figures as they see them bring into use this technique thus producing pictures With much more expression. Certain Members Excel Surprising is the number of people who produce amazing likenesses of the models. Shirley Rogers, one of the foremost members ot the club, excels in figures of girls and clothing styles. Betty Perry, another fine artist, is especially good at the structural form- ation of figures. Elizabeth Neville does fine work Where swiftness is de- sired. Her quick deft strokes are en- vied by many. Sarah Julian's talent for cartoon drawing is remarkable and Fred Misch is to be complimented on his painstaking, detailed and accurate drawings. The second year of Miss Leckllderis Art Club has been a very successful one. It was organized upon student request, as have all the previous clubs, and has become exceedingly popular.

Y., June, 1940, QNFJ -Concluding a very successful and active year, the Alpha Chapter of Ni- agara Fa1l's Hi-Y marked its sixth year of existence. Meeting every Wednesday night at the Y. M. C. A., the members have listened to many prominent speakers and have taken part in round-table dis- cussions upon the subjects most closely connected with the youth of today. As part of their program, a series of competitive Hi-Y athletic contests were held. Such sports as basketball, vol- leyball, swimming, track, badminton, and baseball were participated in by a large number of this club. Alphas Earn Two Cups At the annual inter Hi-Y banquet, consisting of five local chapters, the Alpha's claimed the Hi-Y Sports League Cup which has been Won by them for three years in succession and so is theirs to keep. In addition to this, they also gained the scholarship cup which was awarded to the chapter obtaining the highest average for marks in regent examinations taken last year. Many Social Functions Held Many social functions occupied the time of these boys. At the beginning of the year a splash party was held at which time the fellows brought their girls to swim and dance. Besides a banquet, the chapter also participated in the Open House which was held at the Y for Hi-Y'ers and their guests. At this time, the fellows from the various chapters brought their girls and took part in such activities as badminton, ping pong, card games, pool, and dancing. This Open House was a new idea for the Hi-Y and proved very successful. Boys Attend Conferences The Western New York Older Boys' Conference for 1940 was held at Ba- tavia, N. Y. The theme of this con- vention was Will 'Oh, Johnny' Change to 'Johnny, Get Your Gun'? Much serious thought on the international situation, particularly as it affects the youth of this country, was given by the members who attended from this Hi-Y.

Y., June, 1940, QNFJ -As a result of the active participation and close co-operation of its members, the Alpha Delta Chapter of the Hi-Y has become a leading organization for the boys of Niagara Falls High School. Speakers Lecture Alpha Delts During its 1939-40 weekly programs Alpha Delta was grateful host to a number of prominent local persons. These lectures were upon topics of general interest. Such talks on cur- rent history, personal and public health, hobbies, and vocations proved exceedingly beneficial. Some of the outstanding speakers were Dr. Jen- nings, who talked on liquid air and Dr. Scott, who explained the taking of X-rays. For two weeks in succes- sion the club had Dr. Lathrop talk to them on personal and public health. As their guests at these meetings, they invited members from the other local chapters. Several Social Functions Used On three occasions during the past year club dances were held, one of which was open to the public. Of the other two, one was the annual Alumni Dance which was open to the passive and active members of the group. As a novel' idea, their third dance was a Hard Times Party. Here the fellows and their girls, enjoyed a real Bean Dinner and some comic motion pic- tures. Other social functions spon- sored by this group consisted of a sleighride party a.nd a steak dinner. This year's inter Hi-Y banquet and Open House programs Were high- lights participated in by Alpha Delta. This chapter took charge of the induc- tion ceremony of the first honorary member of any Hi-Y at a. Kiwanis Club meeting. It is through these numerous and varied activities that Alpha Delta has upheld, to the best of its ability, the foundations upon which Hi-Y is based, that is, to create, maintain, and estab- lish throughout the school and com- munity, higher standards of Christian living.

Y., June, 1940, KNFD -Each fall, during the past few years, the administration of Niagara Falls High School has called a meeting of representatives from all the fraterni- ties and sororities, and proposed the formation of an Inter-Fraternity-Sorw ority Council. These groups were en- tered into half-heartedly by the Ol'- ganizations and inevitably ended in dissolution. This year, however, the Greek Let- ter organizations, seeking a better un- derstanding with the administration. and among themselves, conceived the idea of a Pan-Hellenic Council, a group in which all had equal voice and vote. With the able assistance of their faculty advisors, the fellows and girls went to Work and expanded the idea from the theoretical to the practical. Council Is Entirely Democratic The government of the Council is entirely democratic, as it features al- ternate chairmanship, unlimited de- bate, and equal voting power. The en- tire group pledged itself to prove that fraternities and sororities, properly Lmited, are a definite asset to Niagara Falls High School, All Pan-Hellenic activities thus far have been aimed to aid the school either physically or spiritually. Flag Was Presented The first important endeavor of the year was the purchase of a school flag which was presented to the school on behalf of the Council. In the future this flag will be continually displayed in the school auditorium, except when it accompanies the band to football games. At Christmas time, the fraternities and sororities, seeking to support a worthy cause, donated a lump sum of forty dollars to the Christmas collec- tion, under the banner of the Pan- Hellenic Council. This amount was the largest received from any single group in the entire school. First Pan-Hellenic Dance Realizing the importance of sound- motion pictures in modern education, the Pan-Hellenic Council sponsored a dance on April 12, the proceeds of which were used to establish a fund for the purchase of a sound-motion picture projector. It is hoped that this activity will be continued in fu- ture years for the benefit of school needs. In its first year the Pan-Hellenic Council has proven itself worthy of recognition.

Cripe Claims I nconsistency Niagara Falls High Bows T eamis Greatest Liability To Explomsln 099115 In reveiwing the past football sea- son and casting a prophetic eye to 'fu- ture campaigns. Coach Harold Cripe has revealed some interesting material. 'So far as the football season as a whole is concerned, the Niagara team was either awfully good or awfully bad. It was one of the most inconslstant teams I have ever coached. However, the team did what could be expected of them. The entire line was green, especially after the first game, as the experienced line men were either in- jured, found to be lnelegible, or their usual positions were changed to others. This lack of experience and competi- tion for positions in the line and par- ticularly so in the bafckfield was one of the reasons for our see-saw season. I was fortunate, however, in discovering some of the newer boys who could take over the positions left open be- cause of the above reasons. The squad played good ball the first half of the North Tonawanda game and especially throughout the entire Trott encounter. In this latter game the boys looked, acted, and played like a football team! Each substitute fit in perfectly with the rest of the team and this sheds a little light on next year's possibilities, and speaking of the 1940 season, we should come out with a good team for the simple reason that there will be much more competition next year. The LaSalle High School football team made a successful debut when lt upset the Niagara Falls High eleven by a score of 14-6. The game was but five minutes old when Felicetti and Rotella broke loose for substantial gains to LaSalle's four yard line. From there the ball was car- ried over by Hlgh School's fullback Atamlan. Rotella's attempted place kick for the extra point was wide. At the start of the second period Walton hit the line giving the Ex4 plorers a lead by 7-6. With the end of the game drawing near, Niagara turned to passing. Two passes fell incomplete. When Saloh in- tercepted a throw, for LaSalle's second touchdown. w l l l 4 1 . I l -fr I, r J l Ja' Page 134 THE N IAGARIAN ' June, 1940 First Victory of Season Scored Over Lackawanna Red and Gray Has Little Trouble ln Melting Steelmen, 32-6 Although statistics show that the visitors scored twice as many first downs as the Red and Gray and gained a great deal more yardage, Niagara scored its first victory of the season in downing Lackawanna, 32-6. The first six points were scored on Fellcetti's forward pass to Barber, an outstanding star in his own right as he caught no less than three touch- down 'passes heaved by the star quar- terback to put Niagara in an undisput- ed lead at the end of the third quarter. Lackawanna's only tally came shortly after the second half opened. A short kickoff that went only to the Lacka- wanna 49-yard line was the signal for the Falls to score again. Just before the final gun, Cassert snatched one of John Ha.nchar's passes and ran 10 yards for the final tally. Tonawanda Capitalizes on Falls Fumblesg Wins, 20-0 For the second time this season the Niagara Falls High School football team proved that it was not a mud- der. Niagara fumbles helped the Tona- wanda team to get into position for their first two scores while a short punt by Guido Felecitti just before the end of the game, which went only 10 yards, set the stage for the other. The tearn's only other great threat came at the opening of the second half. After two long gains by Atarnian and Felecitti through the line Barber received a pass and went all the way to the 19 yard line before being stopped. A short 20 yard punt allowed Tonawanda to come right back for their final score. Locals, Sadly Outplayed, Beat Lockport by 13-6 Outplayed throughout most of the game, the Red and Gray produced two spectacular plays to defeat Lockport by a 13-0 score. In making the first touchdown, Feli- cetti chased the punted ball and with the Lockport ends bearing down on him he suddenly decided to pick it up and run. With perfect downfield blocking he raced all the way to the goal line to score. Tommy Napier attempted conversion but failed. The second tally was as unexpected as the first. A 15-yard penalty set Lockport back and then an attempted punt by Michaeljohn was blocked by Olszewski and recovered by Shotz on the Falls' 39 yard line. On the very first play, Felicettl dropped back to throw a long pass to Rotella which he took on Lockport's 20-yard line, running the remaining 20 yards to score. Rotel- la added the extra point and the Falls led by 13-0. L. DeBiase M. Pitaressi W. Pape D. Conti L. Tarzenski G. Felicetti T. Rotella E. Olszewskl June, 1940 THE NIAGARIAN Page 135 Niagara Provides Kenmore Fifth Straight Win, 30-0 In taking a victory over the Niagara Falls gridders, Kenmore gained their fifth straight victory of the season. Receiving the Niagara kick-off, Ken- more started a drive down to the Red and Gray 35 yard line where Yakopo- vich started a touchdown dash. The Red and Gray elected to receive on the next kickoff but it took Ken- more just three more plays to get the second touchdown following a recover- ed block kick. A 25 yard return on a punt plus a 36 yard sustained drive gave Kenmore another touchdown. Yakopovich re- turned Felicetti's punt to Falls' 36 and then Kenmore's attack clicked off yardage to carry the ball to the one yard line where Schmidt smashed through for the third touchdown. Kramer set the stage for the fourth touchdown. In the final quarter, two incomplete passes gave the visitors the ball on downs and Kenmore's last score came by way of their fleet-footed back, Yakopovich. High Ofvercomes Early Lead T 0 Down Traditional Rivals Defense Strategy Failsg Falls Elevenllieses, 33-7 The Red and Gray put up a deter- mined effort before bowing before North Tonawanda by a score of 33-7. The Falls gridders were a real threat in the first half, with the home hack- field displaying its form in great style. The first touchdown was made by North Tonawanda. The locals came right back with Rotella, Napier, and Felicetti sharing the ball-taking on a sustained drive of 90 yards. Felicettl scored from the six yard line and ad- ded the extra point on an end run. The North Tonawanda gridders dis- played their best offense as they had almost continual possession of the ball in the last half. The Red and Gray was forced to play a defensive game which did not work out properly. The North Tonawanda gridders scored three touchdowns in the last half to make victory certain. Felicetti, Barber Pace Falls To Brillant Win Over Trott Niagara's gridders closed their '39 football season by overwhelming a good Trott Vocational eleven to the tune of 21-7. The High School had an advantage early in the game as Rotella scored a field goal mid-way in the first quarter. Trott's touchdown came shortly after the two rivals changed goals for the second quarter. In the second quarter Niagara put on a surprising aerial attack. First, Feli- cetti connected with Rotella for 17 yards, next 24 and then 16 for the score. A long pass from Felicetti to Barber, which put the star end in the clear seemed to make a touchdown certain in the third period. However, Barber tripped and it took Fel1cetti's end run to make the score. To clinch the contest, Niagara marched down the entire length of the field for the final tally. L. Cassert H.

Falls Prospects Bright, Many Veterans Return Although next year's varsity basket- ball squad wlll be forced to face the season without invaluable Captain Fred Winker, the outlook for the Niagara Falls High School team ls not quite as gloomy as might be expected. Two other standout performers from the '39- '40 outfit, Joe Putnam and John No- gacki, will be returning to form the nucleus around which Doc Parsons ma g be able to build another fine team. In addition to the players mentioned above, A1 Losin, Bob Doty, Kenny Win- ker, and Harold Burns, all of whom have had varsity experience, and Phil Donia, Joe Rotella, and Eddie Rybicki, will be back next year.

Felicetti I nexperienced Reserves Lose Sefveml Close Games The Niagara Falls High School Re- serve basketball team faced the 1939-40 season with few veterans, and a crop of green recruits. Working with this raw material, Doc Parsons was able to whip up a fairly good outfit and all in- dications were toward a very successful year. Many of the new hopefuls, how- ever, had llttle team experience, and suffered from a severe case of jltters in several of the league contests. As the season wore on, the boys became more confident and began to operate as a unit with more effectiveness. As the year wore on, Coach Parsons turned to the second team for substi- tute members for the varsity outfit. Al Losin, Bob Doty, Kenny Winker and Harold Burns graduated to varsity competition, and proved themselves very capable. This advancement of outstanding players proved detrimental to the junior squad, since it sapped the Reserve strength and placed the burden of the team upon the shoulders of the few remaining experienced players. Although the record of the reserve squad does not seem praiseworthy, it does not paint an accurate picture of the team's ability, since six of the nine losses were by a margin of two points or less. Many of the players on the team proved themselves of future var- sity caliber, and Captain Phil Donia, Eddie Rybicki, Joe Rotella, Sam Bu- tera, and Vince Sbarbati will undoubt- edly play first team during next year's campaign. Page 138 THE NIAGARIAN June, 1940 Close of First Round Finds Niagara Cagers Third in High League High Scoring By Winker Aids In Many Falls Wins The Niagara Falls High School basketball team, in spite of the fact that only one varsity man, Captain Fred Winker, returned to the outfit. began the season with a splendid 31-24 victory over Kenmore. The Falls team displayed a fine passing attack coupled with brilliant defense, both of which enabled it to obtain an early lead which was never lost. Niagara Team Suffers Loss at Lockport Against the Lockport team, the Niagara team suffered a hard-fought, overtime, 35-33 loss. The Countyseaters, sparked by Louis Coriere who tossed in 21 points, unleashed a terrific of- fensive which was doggedly matched by the Falls boys. The contest ended in a 33-33 tie, and in a sudden-death overtime period Fabian of Lockport threw in the winning basket. Fred Winker paced the Falls with 17 points, and turned in an all-round brilliant effort. Putnam Is Individual Star Bounding back from the Lockport defeat, the Red and Gray hoopsters chopped down the Lumberjacks of North Tonawanda to the tune of 31-22. Obtaining an early lead, the Falls team was never headed and coasted to an easy win. Joe Putnam, Niagara center, was the individual star of the en- counter as he accounted for 15 points and also played a brilliant game be- neath both baskets. Falls Team Swamps LaSalle The Niagara Falls team Won its sec- ond straight game by swamping La- Salle 60-27. In the last two periods the Niagara team scored 38 counters to desperate La Salle's 13 points. Winker and Putnam shared scoring honors with 12 apiece. The Wi.n enabled the Falls to go into a tie with Lackawanna for second place in the league. Winning Streak Broken The Falls High winning streak was broken at the hands of a rangy Lackawanna team, on the latter's court, by the score of 40-16. The Falls team seemed to lack its usual co-ordination, and frequently outclassed throughout the entire contest, the Red and Gray fought desperately to regain its good form, and went down to defeat, battling all the way. Winker was high scorer for the Falls with six points. High Defeats Tonawanda Resuming its winning ways, the Niag- ara Falls team defeated Tonawanda in a very close encounter, 31-29. Both out- fits played bang-up ball, both of- fensively and defensively, neither be- ing able to garner more than a five point lead throughout the entire con- test. The Falls boys outscored their opponents by eight points in the third quarter, however, and led from then until the end of the game. Winker, with ten, and Putnam with eight points, again shared scoring honors. High Wins Over City Rival Probably the most important game of the first round, was the Trott-High School encounter which the latter won by the score of 37-33. Due to the bitter rivalry between the schools, the game was very well attended, and was a tor- rid contest throughout. The Red and Gray held a fairly safe margin during the entire battle, and at one time was 13 points ahead of hte Engineers. As the Falls lead dwindled toward the fin- al moments of thegame, Doc Parsons employed the strategy of freezing the ball, and in that way maintained his team's advantage. The Trott game sup- plied Niagara Falls High School with a new hero in the form of Johnny Nogacki, who surpassed his former en- deavors by running wild and leading Falls scoring with 11 points. At the end of the first round of play in the St. Lawrence League, Niagara Falls High School held undisputed possession of third place. Varsity Basketball Team: Row I, l. to r.-A. Losin, T. Napier, J.

June, 1940 THE NIAGARIAN Page 1 39 Brilliant Team Play Features Falls Wins During l Round Nogacki Becomes Falls Star Via Scoring Path Swinging around the circuit for the second time, the Niagara Falls High School hoopsters tallied their second Win of the season over Kenmore to the tune of 31-25. The Blue and White quintet proved much more stubborn in this encounter and the contest was close from start to finish. Kenmore tied the score at 25 all in the closing mo- ments, but the Red and Gray tallied three baskets in quick succession to clinch the victory. Last Minute Loss Meeting the Lockport team for the second time, the Falls cagers were de- termined to avenge the 35-33 loss suffered at the hands of the County- seaters earlier in the season. Displaying fine team play, the Red and Gray swept to a decisive 40-31 victory. Lose To Lumberjacks The Red and Gray dropped from the win column in its second encounter with a revengeful North Tonawanda outfit, suffering a 32-20 defeat. The Lumberjacks drew first blood and as- sumed a four point lead early in the game which was never lost. Win Over LaSalle Returning to winning form, the Ni- agara Falls High quintet assumed sole possession of second place as a result of its 30-25 win over an aggressive La- Salle aggregation. The contest was surprisingly close in view of the fact that the Blue and Gold was holding down the cellar position. Low-scoring Lackawanna Game The second meeting between the Falls High basketeers and Lackawanna was one of the strangest and lowest scoring contests of the entire season. Both teams concentrated on defensive play, and this situation was not con- ducive to high scoring. The Steelmen held a fairly constant lead which the Falls boys eventually whittled down to the final score of 21-20. Close Tonawanda Victory Hampered by the absence of Joe Put- nam, Who was ill, the Falls five barely eked out a 24-23 win over a scrappy Tonawanda team. The Twin-city out- fit led right up to the end of the con- test, when Captain Fred Winker of the Falls meshed the winning field goal. Decisive Trott Victory In the final encounter of the regular 1939-40 season, the High School suffer- ed an overwhelming defeat at the hands of the Trott Vocational five. The High team was badly outscored throughout the entire game, and the final gun found the score at 32-12. Fred Winker led the losers with 7 points. BASKETBALL SCHEDULE N.F.H.S.

Lackawanna North Tonawanda, and Lockport were the other post-season contestants. In the preliminary round, the Falls team met a slightly favored North Tonawanda quintet, and upset the Lumberjacks by a 30-20 score. The Ni- agara outfit played cautious, determin- ed ball throughout the entire encounter, and as a result, turned in the finest team effort of the entire season. Due to tight defensive work by the Red and Gray, North Tonawanda was forced to attempt many long-shots, most of which were unproductive. Lackawanna defeated Lockport in the other preliminary game, and there- fore the Steelmen met the Falls in the finals for the second consecutive year. The contest was close in every quarter and was finally decided in an overtime period. Napier of the Falls began the scoring with a foul shot, but the Steel City counted three field goals in rapid suc- cession to assume an early lead. Winker netted a two-pointer before the end of the first period to make the score '7-3 at the rest period. The Niagara quint began to function in the second stanza, however, and held their opponents to a small lead during the remainder of the game. With 25 seconds to go in the final quarter, the Falls held a 25-23 lead, but a quick Lackawanna basket tied the score, and forced an overtime period. Held scoreless during the extra time, the Falls dropped the contest by three points which the Steehnen obtained in the overtime. Page 140 THE NIAGARIAN June, 1940 amnlnon GAB l DOWN THE mum CAGE CQRNER Louis DeBiase If an outsider were to read an ac- count of the first few minutes of the LaSalle-Niagara game and the entire Trott encounter he would form the opinion that the Niagara Falls High School football team had experienced a very successful season. Those first minutes of the game were bright ones for Niagara's gridders. It was only a matter of time before High's big, full- back, Harry Atamian, plimged over for the score. Leaving that, we will turn to the traditional inter-city battle. This encounter was marked by a hard charging line and great team play which prevailed throughout. The Falls High certainly looked like a champion- ship team at this point. Captain Joe Viscuglia, Eddie Olzew- ski, Charles Barber, Guido Felicetti, Tom Rotella, and Tom Napier will certainly be missed in next fall's line- up. These boys contributed their best efforts to Niagara in their three and four year stays here. Next year's line should prove to be a great one as there is a letterman to fill every position except one of the ends. The backfield is something else, for there are four posts in the varsity open to anyone who can make the grade. Lettermen who will be back next year to strengthen Niagarais line are Jerome D'Era.mo, Murphy Pitaressl, Bob Shotz, Leslie Tarzlnskl, Mathew Skuza, John Hollihan, Bill Pape, and Louis DeB1ase. Dominick Conti and Leonard Cassert wil be the only letter- men returning to the backfield. Miss Dahlquist was the most popular teacher in high school after the Trott game, as she treated the entire squad to Bananna Sky Scrapers. . . .

Although Mr. Cripe faced this season with a rather gloomy outlook, hard Work and united effort on the part of the entire squad resulted in the formation of a fairly good aggregation. With only four let- termen returning from the 1939 outfit, the coach was forced to spend the greater part of the practice sessions in developing the new talent which came out for the squad. Realizing the full importance of the veterans ln forming a nucleus for the team, Mr. Crlpe built his team around the four seasoned campaigners. As a result of this intensive and definite planning. the Falls natators proved themselves formidable foes to all opponents in the Western New York Swimming League. During the year, the Niagara mermen succeeded in winning four meets, and unfortunately suffered an equal number of defeats. The first year men on the squad, displayed such amazing ability that the outlook for next year is much brighter than it has been for several seasons. If next year's call for swimming material is produc- tive of the same high standard of swimmers, the future success of Niagara Falls High School swimming team ls practically assured for many years to come. Galbraith is Undefeated Leo Galbraith was undefeated throughout the entire season ln the 40 yard free style . . . he was the only undefeated free styler in the whole league. North Tonawanda and Kenmore fin- ished in a dead-lock for the 1940 swim- ming title, while Niagara Falls took undisputed possession of third place and Amherst finished in a tie with Tonawanda for fourth place. Although it was his first year in any kind of organized swimming compe- tltion, Albert June proved to be one of the outstanding backstrokers in ac- tion this year. This year marks the eleventh season that Coach Harold Crlpe has guided a N. F. I-I. S. swimming team, record: '70 wins and 30 losses . . . one of the finest records ln Western New York.

His teammates followed him faithfully by taking firsts in the next three indi- vidual events. Felix Krowinski took the 100 yard breaststrokes, Tom Yukie won the 220 yard freestyle, and Al June churned through the 100 yard back- stroke for a victory. Then the free- style relay quartet composed of Bruno Guinta, Ray Wilkinson, Leo Galbraith, and Tom Yukie clinched the meet by winning the last event on the program. Amherst proved victorious in two in- dividual events and the medley relayg Hey won the dives and May triumphed in the century freestyle. l,,,....., - North Tonawanda Hands Locals Initial Defeat After chalking up two straight wins in the district scholastic swimming league, the N. F. H. S. natators ran into its first reverse here when it bowed to a strong North Tonawanda team.. Although the two rivals were able to split even in the number of individual events with each carrying off three first places, the visitors won the meet by getting four seconds to but two by the Red and Gray. The Lumberjacks proceeded to put the victory on ice by outswlmming the Red and Gray in the medley relay event. The Falls swim- mers came through in the freestyle re- lay but only to make the final outcome close. Co-Captains Leo Galbraith and Tom Yukie supplied the individual victor- ies along with Bruno Gulnta in the three freestyle events, while the three teamed up with Ray Wilkinson to win The Niagara natators scored their second straight victory of the season when they defeated Tonawanda ln the 1atter's pool by a 37-29 score. The two rivals broke even as far as individual winners were concerned with the Red and Gray furnishing three firsts and Tonawanda getting three. Al- though each won one of the relays, the Falls team was able to pick up more seconds and thirds to out-score their opponents. Leo Galbraith and Ray Wilkinson placed one-two in the 40 yard freestyle which Al June and Cal Brennan did the same in the 100 backstroke. Bruno Guinta offered the other win in the 100 yard freestyle. Then Guinta, Wilkinson, Galbraith and Yukie teamed up to win the 200 yard freestyle relay and put the meet in the bag. Cherkauer and Lasky were outstand- ing for the Twin-City team, each win- ning his event and teaming up for a victory in the medley relay. the 200 yard freestyle relay. Kenmore Trounces Fallsg Two Pool Records Made The Kenmore High School was the scene of Niagara's second defeat by a strong suburbanite to the tune of 47-19 The Niagara team was completely outclassed that day, since they were limited to just the first in six individual events and shut out completey in the relay races. Leo Galbraith got the Red and Gray's lone tally as he finished ahead of his opponents in the 40 yard free- style event. The highlights of the meet were when two new pool records were set. with Snyder of Kenmore swimming the 220 yard freestyle in 2233.1 and the Kenmore medley relay team finishing the 180 yard swim in record time.

June, 1940 THE NIAGARIAN Page 143 Changed Schedule Handieaps Niagara Swimming against the North Tona- wanda natators two days in advance of the prepared schedule, the school swimming team ran into a decisive 48 to 18 drubblng. Caught off-guard by the unexpected change in date, the home mermen were unable to do better than-capture a single first place. Co-Captain Leo Galbraith, churning through a brilliant 50 yard freestyle race in near record breaking form, suc- ceeded in preventing the Red and Gray from being entirely shutout of first place position. Outstanding fea- ture of the race was the fact that this X was Galbraith's second win over Kalis- iak, of North Tonawanda, victor in every other 50 yard free style league competition in which he participated. The North Tonawandans made a clean sweep of the 220 yard backstroke, diving, and both relays. Niagara was forced to be content with gaining sec- ond honr in the 100 yard breaststroke, 220 free style, and 100 yard free style. The defeat was the third suffered by the Falls team, and dropped them into third place. Crucial Crash is Taken By Suburbanites, 40-26 Red and Gray Poolmen Repeat Tonawanda Win The swimming team scored an easy 49-20 win over the Tonawanda High School natators in the home pool to make it two in a row over the latter. The Red and Gray scored firsts in all but two of the six individual events, and then came through with victories in both relay races. The highlight of the meet was when Sam Conjerti, Niagara's diminutive diving ace, broke into the winning column by taking the dives. Leo Galbraith, Tom Yukie and Albert June accounted for Niagarafs three other firsts while A1 June, Felix Krow- inski and Roger Bowman teamed up to win the medley relay event. Gulnta, Wilkinson, Skuza, and Yukie formed the winning combination in the free- style relay. Cherkauer and Lasky notched up the Twin-City's two lone events. Outstanding feature of the meet was Niagara's double win over both the Tcnawanda A and B teams. To the left, Sam Conjerti balances off for a backward plunge.

Galbraith Paces Futile Drive in Hotly Contested Meet Winding up the season with the closest match of the entire year, the home team dropped an important con- test to the co-league champions of Kenmore by a 40-26 score. With the outcome of the meet hinging on the final relay race, the rival team edged out the Niagara 220 yard free style re- lay quartet in what, for a time, ap- peared to be a dead heat. With Galbraith coming through in usual form to capture the 40 yard free style and Krowinski following up short- ly after by winning the breaststroke event, things looked bright for the Nl- agara team. But the following events were captured by the Kenmore swim- mers in their order, leaving not a first place throughout the rest of the meet. Special credit should be given to Felix Krowlnski, who swimming his last race for Niagara, came through unexpectedly by beating his former conquerer in the other Kenmore meet. Warren and Inskip were especially effective for the Suburbnaites. Natators Close Season By Overcoming Amherst The Niagara Falls High swim team returned to the win column after two straight defeats by turning in a 38-28 victory over the Amherst High natators in the latter's pool. The Red and Gray won four out of six individual events on the program, and then broke even with the Orange in the relays. Leo Galbraith, Felix Frowinski, Tom Yukie and Albert June scored four straight first places for the five-point wins, while the medley relay of June. Krowinski and Yukie put the victory in the bag by winning the three main specialty events. Hey and May were the outstanding performers for Amherst.

Hours of T edious Practice re Essential for Success The forgotten person in the great field of sports is the cheerleader. His task of leading the student body in cheers for a winning or losing team is a difficult one, even though this does not seem to be the case. Long hours of faithful practice week after week are required to perfect the cheers. Although voices become hoarse. arm and leg muscles tighten, and beads of perspira- tion appear, the cheerleaders of Ni- agara Falls High School are always ready. willing and often able to .cheer their team on to victory. Attractive Attire The male portion of Niagara's cheer leading squadron are usually to be found garbed in light grey pants, red sweaters and white shoes. The girls are dressed in either white or red sweaters and blue or white skirts. The basketball season offers the cheerleader many conveniences in wooden floors and warm and well- lighted gymnasiums, but during the football season, ,he must be prepared to brave the elements at any time. Despite his many hardships, the cheerleader fnids much enjoyment in leading the cheers of an enthusiastic student body. Swing Cheer A new yell that met with Niagara's approval this year was the Suzy-Q, which runs: Truck on down and Suzy-Q! Niagara's cheers are something new! Boy, boy, what do you do? Just get hep and follow through! Team! Team! Do your best! Niagara's cheers will do the rest! Come on swing, come on sway! Niagara! Niagara! Ray! Ray! One of the school's most popular cheers IS the Long N. F.: 1-2-3-4-5-6-7, All good children go to heaven! When they get there, they will say: Neff, neff, Rah! Rah! Neff, neff, Rah! Rah! Who Rah! Who Rah! N. F. H. S. Rah! Rah! Booch-a-boom, booch-a-boom! Booch-a-rip-rip! Boom, boom! Rah, Ray! N-I-A-G-A-R-A!

Bu rtons Take Speedba ll,' apiers Win Basketball Niagara Falls, N. Y., June 1940-The Niagara Falls High School witnessed an average intra-mural scholastic season as far as enthusiastic class competition is concerned. The different competitive sports were, in order: speedball, badminton, volleyball, bas- ketball, and lastly, handball. These five were on the regularly scheduled list which was completed the week of April 8. Brainard N. Parsons, who is in charge of all intra-mural activities, was uncertain as to his spring program. In all probability it will consist of softball, baseball, and ping-pong. Sports which have not been included in the intra-mural category this year are wrestling, boxing, and hand tennis. Coach Parsons announced that these three sports may come back some time in the future along with any others that the students may take an interest ln. N Burton's Win Speedball Frank Burton's sjedball team of boys from the Monday and Wednes- day seventh period gym classes got the season off to ia flying start by defeat- ing all other contesting teams and cap- turing the first intra-mural champion- ship of the year. The team consisted of Burton, Strong, Cardella, DelGrosso, Dory, Sollowski, Masey, Civiletto and Grancio. Badminton Tournament The badminton championship was carried off by the fast moving duo of Chinkers and Kirchner, after defeating Garcia and Abate in the hard fought battle in the final division. Chinkers and Kirchner were from a third period gym class while the latter team repre- sented Friday's third period. Basketball Proves Popular Basketball, the favorite intra-mural sport of Niagara, enjoyed an unusually successful season with most of the tournament games being closely-con- tested. With Tom Napier, speedy ace of Coach Doc Parson's varsity squad as captain, the team of Passonese, Baldas- smo, Rybickr, nomo and Roteua vion the legendary basketball cup after sev- eral hot battles. Also tops in tough competition were the handball playoffs. This year the finals were won by Olzewski and Jence- zewski, who came through with ease.

Kirchner, Golf Team Turns In Four Wins For Season's Effort Niagara Falls. N. F., June 1940 KNFJ The Niagara Falls High School Golf team enjoyed a rather successful fall season, being victorious in four matches While losing only three. The team got off to a good start in the curtain raiser trouncing De- Veaux School by a 7-5 score in a match on the Niagara University links. The Red and Gray quartet followed up with a fine win over Kenmore at Hyde Park, but then hit the skids, and drop- ped consecutive contests to Trott, La- Salle, and East Aurora. Regaining its early season form, the High School aggregation turned in two triumphs in two days by outclassing the Depew and Amherst teams, both by 7-5 scores. The latter win was especially noteworthy, as Amherst held the Western New York league champion- ship. Doc Parsons expects to field a team this spring of which Niagara Falls High may well be proud. Tennis Team Enjoys Good Year: Cripe Is New Coach Niagara Falls,N. Y., June 1940 tNFJ- -Facing the season with only two re- turning lettermen in George Frey and Bill Poole, the outlook for Coach Tom Szczerbacki and his Niagara Falls High School tennis team was none too bright. However, the squad surpassed everyone's expectations by defeating every team in the league at least once and finished with a record of five wins in light matches. The Red and Gray racketeers whipped Kenmore twice, and split the season's encounters with Tonawanda, DeVeaux and North Tona- wanda. E Bob Faulring, although only a sopho- more, proved to be the outstanding singles man on the team, although, with Frey and Poole also cast in stellar roles. Another note of achievements is the fact the Niagara's doubles teams, made up of Cameron Brown and George Siener, and Tony Hartley and Tom Paulos Went through the entire season undefeated. The Niagara netmen further distin- guished themselves in postseason com- petition. George Siener, a doubles man, who played number three singles in the last four matches of the season, was the singles entrant from the Falls in the sectionals at Kenmore, and was runner-up in that tournament, while the invincible combination of Hartley and Paulos swept through to the double's championship. The team was under the capable management of Patterson Stowell. This spring, the tennis team will be forced to start from a status similiar to that of last fall, with Paulos and Brown the only returning lettermen. However. with a new coach in Harold Cripe, and a wealth of material in such aspirants as Joe Putnam, Bob Bates, Arnold Chinkers, Richard Sharp and others, Niagara Falls must be ranked as a dis- tinct threat. e5,yffr44,ff-ffv Tzocyfnfn c as .Q Lf mfg?

At the beginning of April, games were started in the gym classes with three or four teams being made up ln each period. Capable girls were chosen as captains by the other mem- bers of the class. The captains in turn chose their own teams and, each week gave the members their position for that day. The Winning team from each class was entitled to play after school for the intra-mural championship. Ac- cording to the games played during class, many of the teams looked promis- ing for the championship and the girls were striving to secure the honor for their own team. Girls Strifoe To Become Experts June, 1940-Swimming is one of the most healthful sports enjoyed by the girls. Although there is no after-school competition, the class contests are keen. Most of the girls have passed their swlmmer's test and many are either working for or have passed their Junior and Senior Life Savers. In ad- dition to the regular classes, there is also a leaders' class which consists of a group of leaders from the different classes. Their duty ls to help the swim- mers and to teach them advanced crawls, dives and strokes. Besides being an enjoyable sport, there is much to be said for the benefits derived from it. Among other things, swimming per- fects a girl's figure as well as it creates accuracy, gracefullness and speed. Exercises Are Beneficial Although Very Lahorious June, 1940- One, two, three, four! - Forward march! - Class halt! - Left face! These commands in the voice of our gym teacher, Mrs. White, give students memories for many years to come. How many cries of Oh, my back! - My legs are stiff! - I can't move! are heard throughout the school year. Our gymnastic instructor, how- ever, clalms that students do not get the exercise that they should get in class. But the bending, twisting and marching orders cause the girls to think just the opposite. The exercises, nevertheless, are beneficial. Some of these help to straighten that school- book slouch. The slim young high- school student who complains of tak- ing exercises now will probably be do- ing them on her own accord ten years from now to keep that youthful figure. Table Tennis Contest ls Not Held This Year June 1940-Mr. Herkimer of the Board of Education was unable to lend the neccesary tables to Niagara Falls High School and consequently a ping pong tournament was unable to be held in 1940. Many girls had iooked forward to this sport and were keenly disap- pointed when it was unable to take place. Last year the two finalists were Florence Taylor, a member of the class of '39, and Dorothy Shaw, a member of this present class of '40, Their ex- cellent playing plus that of the other participants created an enthusiastic group of girls who wished to participate this year. Skill ln Marksmanship Developed ln Archery June, 1940-Each spring keen com- petition is displayed by the girls in the use of the bow and arrow in archery. The object of the game is to place the arrow on the target as near as possible or in the bulls-eye. The target is divided into four circles, each circle increasing in score as it nears the center. Archery is practiced in the gym classes for a few weeks, after which the highest scorers have the privilege of going out to Hyde Park and using the outdoor targets there to determine the best archer at High School. This sport more than any other necessarily develops ac- curacy and skill. Its popularity has in- creased in the last few years due to the fact that it is being taken up more and more by the women in the United States. Deck Tennis New Sport For Girls June, 1940-Deck tennis is one of the newest sports at Niagara Falls High School, but it ls proving itself to be very popular. The game is one that de- mands deftness and agility. It ls played on a court similar to the size of a bad- minton court, over which the net is stretched four' feet and nine inches high. The rubber quolt is tossed over the net where it is caught and re- turned by the opposing player. A large number of girls signed up for the doubles although it was new to most of them. This is truly an interesting game, one that will soon reach the top of our popularity list. June, 1940 THE NIAGARIAN Page 151 1. Archery as exemplified by Dorothy Tracey 5.

The selection was made by Mrs. White and the girls' sports committee on the basis of their athletic achievements ln the number of years they were at High School. The following girls were select- ed: Seniors-Julia Fulgenzi and Sophie Ziljakg Juniors - Laura Cuervo and Patricia Hopking and Sophomores - Laura Haggerty and Helen Reedy. Julia Fulgenzi and Patricia Hopkin showed outstanding playing in badminton and Laura Haggerty was excellent in tennis. Whereas Sophie Ziljak and Laura Cuervo were champions in paddleball and handball with Helen Reedy a close second in the latter. All of the girls have shown excellent ability in all sports. Cuervo Is Winner In Handball Meet June, 1940-On February 8, along with the paddleball tournament, the annual handball contest began at Nia- gara Falls High School, Twelve girls signed up a.nd each did her part in making this tournament an exciting event. A good deal of hard and skillful playing was displayed in all the games. The final event took place on February 12, at which time the two finalists ex- hibited their skill and speed with the ball. Laura Cuervo showed her superior playing by defeating Helen Reedy with a score of 15-2, 15-4 in an exciting game. Badminton Tournaments Draw Both Boys and Girls June, 1940-One hundred and sixty- eight girls took part in the badminton doubles tournament beginning on November 9. The two winners were Janet MacMahon and Mary Welch whose excellent playing caused the complete downfall of all their op- ponents. Their last encounter on Janu- ary 10, found them opposing Molly Lyall and Julia. Fulgenzl. The close of this game brought the final score of 18-3, 15-4. The mixed doubles in badminton were enthusiastically entered by twen- ty couples. The games started on December 9 and ended on December 18, with Patricia Hopkin and Henry Kirchner winners in a close game over Mary Welch and Robert Williams. The final score was 15-6, 13-15 and 15-4. Jenks, Haggerty Defeat Rivals ln Tennis Finals June, 1940-The Niagara Falls High School tennis doubles tournament came to a close on October 11, with Betty Jenks and Laura Haggerty defeating Mary Welch and Janet MacMahon. The final score of 6-0, 4-6, and 6-0 was turned in after an exciting and bril- liant game. Perennially the tennis doubles is one of the most popular tournaments with the girls, as it initi- ates the athletic program for the year. Sixty-eight enthusiasts entered when the tournament began on September 18. Every girl displayed fine talent and showed excellent sportsmanship throughout the contest. Cannon Balls Vanquish Volleyball Competition June, 1940-Volleyball got underway on October 17, with 198 girls signed up to play in the after-school games. After much keen competition, the Can- non Balls led by Ida Chaffee proved to be superior by defeating the Fighting Bulls led by Sophie Ziljak. On Novem- ber 1, the final tilt between the finalists was staged with the Cannon Balls emerging victorious by a score of 15-3, 15-6. The winning team showed es- pecially outstanding playing by winning every game from the time it was formed in the gym class to the finals. The roster of the winning team is as follows: Ida Chaffe, captain: Saxon Reese, Johanna Kloosterman, Ruth Swain, Evelyn Ragnar, Ella Mae Hin- man, and Helen Sterzelbach. Volleyball is an annual sport for the girls and each year everyone looks forward to playing it. Paddleball Meets Initiated In 1940 June, 1940-This year for the first time, a paddleball tournament was staged at Niagara Falls High School. The game is played with similar rules and on a court similar to handball, but a paddle is used making the hitting range wider. The contest began on February 8, with eleven girls participat- ing. Although this was a new game to most of the girls, each contestant show- ed remarkable skill in the way she handled the paddle and ball. The final game was fast and exciting with Rose Falsetti being defeated by Sophie Ziljak by a score of 15-12, 15-13. June, 1940 THE NIAGARIAN Page 153 1. Badminton Champs-Mary Welch, Janet MacMahon 2.
